Chapter 32She was just about to knock when he opened the door, their eyes meeting. She noticed the hesitancy in his eyes as he saw her. “Janiya, what are you looking for? It’s late already.” He said to her,“I came here to see you on something,” she retorted.“If it’s about your father, I’ve made my decision. I’m not allowing him to leave that place.” Ronan stated, walking back into the room.“I’m not here because of my father. I’m here to talk to you about the girl,”Ronan halted as he turned to face her, surprise on his face as he stared at her, “what’s wrong with Stacey?” He questioned.“Do you think she’s really your mate? How are you even believing that she’s your mate? For all I care, the moon goddess could be playing a trick on you or something. She might not be your mate.” Janiya stated.“And why do you care about that? Did Eric put you up for this?” Ronan replied.He continued before she could say anything, “and for all I care, I’m not asking for anyone's opinion about what

Chapter 34The rest of the day passed in a blur for Ronan, and also useless for him. He couldn’t do anything, either study or going out. He just roamed around the mansion, coming at intervals to check up on her and returning to his room. “What’s wrong with you, your highness?” Janiya asked as they all ate dinner. He had called them to the table because he didn’t want to be alone and also because he wanted to share something.“I’ve been thinking of something.” He dropped his spoon and said.Janiya and Eric did the same, exchanging glances before looking back at Ronan.“What’s it Ronan? Is it about the girl or another thing?” He questioned.“Yes, it’s about Stacey. I’ve been thinking of moving her room to the one beside mine. It’ll be easy to check up on her and make sure nothing goes wrong with her. Or what do you think?” He asked, eyes going back and forth between the two of them.Janiya gritted her teeth, trying her best to hide her annoyed expression. “Why would you want to move

Chapter 36It all started when she was young. Her mother married her father out of spite and because they wanted two powerful kingdoms to merge. They both had a lover, someone they wanted to be with but had to seperate. And out of anger and continuous drinking, they shared the bond and had sex. If she had been born with her powers and everything that came with sharing the same date as the moon goddess, things might have been better but it just got worse. She didn’t even have the power of a princess. “You’re just useless. I regret the day I gave birth to you!” Her mother would sing in her ears every day. She lacked it all, the poise of a princess, the body of a princess, the behavior of a princess. The only thing that she got out of it all was her face, and her slim body. Everyone adored her body; but her parents saw it to be nothing but a tool for distraction. “Father, can I follow you for hunting today?” She had asked him when she was three, her face full of smiles.It was the fi

Chapter 38“What do you think?” Ronan asked Eric as they left the pack after the third day.“I think he’s saying the truth. If Lucien had been there, there’s no reason why he would lie. Unless he’s been paid.”“Ask one of our guards to stay here and view things. Let’s see if they’re saying the truth or not.” Ronan said.Eric bowed before getting out of the carriage, leaving Ronan inside. Ronan leaned on the car chair, closing his eyes as a sigh escaped his lips. Three days of staying somewhere that looked like he wasn’t welcome and the only thing he could think of was her. He had asked the priestess to send a guard to inform him immediately if she was awake but since no one came, he could tell that she wasn’t awake yet.A deep and worried sigh escaped his lips, how many days was it going to take her to wake up? Was it days or months? Could it lead to months? He had lots of things planned for both of them and couldn’t afford for her to take months. “I’ve done that your highness, he’ll

Chapter 40Stacey sat on the bed after the priestess left, pondering on the last words. She felt weak from her upper part down to her knees, and she felt like they might soon detach from each other and leave her here. She slid down the bed again, covering herself up with the blanket left for her before the thoughts sunk in.Throughout the sleep she had heard various voices, one she was so sure of the owner. Maybe it was because of their conversation every day and him sitting across the table, but she was sure the voice belonged to him. He helped her so much, taking her away from those memories and begging her to wake up.Sometimes his voice was what she looked forward to, and also the female voice that stood by her. She wasn’t sure the owner of the voice, because it was two voices coming together as one. She sighed, making her think on why he would do that after he had asked them to bind her to a chair and punish her. She was really looking forward to the party that night, until they
