Prescott's POV“Your Majesty!” Wharton, the royal Beta, whom I had left the matter of the nation in his hands before leaving the royal Villa, his voice echoed through my mind and I let out a soft groan.This was my first time hearing from him and being away for a couple of days. “Yes, Wharton,” I said through the mind link as I slowly got up from the seat, after sparing my Queen a last glance.I walked away from the dining room, not wanting to display any unnecessary facial expressions at the dining. I didn't know the purpose of my Beta’s mind link and I needed to be someone quiet to be able to express myself.“How are you doing, Your Majesty? And how is the matter with the rogue, are you making any progress in finding the root of the rogues?” he asked in one breath, his voice came out hoarse and I let out a loud groan.“I’m still on the rogues, I haven't gotten my hand on anything useful and it makes me feel sick.” I let out truthfully, didn't have any reason to hide the fact from my

Prescott’s POV“Don’t!” Nova yelled, her eyes shot at me with rage. I sighed, ready to take a step closer to her but stopped when she raised her palm, stopping me from coming closer to her.“Don’t come closer, you beast!” she screamed at me, her eyes were blazing with furyIt felt as though a bowl of chilled water was poured down on my head. I felt my stomach ached in pain as she rushed up to her sister who was lying quietly on the floor.“Beast!” I gasped, unable to believe my ears.Hearing her sister call me a beast didn't disgust me, in fact, I liked it when they called me names so it would always remind them how powerful I was.But hearing it from Nova made it seem like my world had come crumbling down at my feet. The way she said it, the disgusting look on her face as she called me that name made me wish I could just vanish into the thin air.“You call me a beast?” I didn't know when the words left my mouth. My lips shivered and my voice shook as I stared at her. Hoping she woul

Nova’s POV My dear Queen Nova,I know that our marriage has not been a definitive one, nor has it been one of love. I am not a man who knows how to love, and I have never loved anyone before. All I have known is friendship, and I always thought that was enough for me. But then, I brought you into my life, which somehow changed everything.I never thought I would someday regret my actions, nor have I ever thought I would one day say this to anyone, but I regret ever making you be in a marriage against your will.I never realized how much I was hurting you, because you had never said a word, never once complained. But when you hugged me that day in front of your father's building, and when you wrapped your arms around my neck in my apartment, I thought maybe there was something more between us. I never realized that it was just your way of showing your gratitude. I'm so sorry, I should have seen how my actions were affecting you.Please don't blame yourself for what happened in there.

Nova’s POV Tears welled up in my eyes as I quietly walked down the foyer. My legs felt light, my entire body felt heavy and it seemed like I was going to fall down on my knees any moment from now.‘I don't have anything to say to you, please leave.’ Prescott's words to me kept replaying in my head and I couldn't do anything to stop my mind from repeating those hurtful words.Why did he do that? Did he really not want to see me again? Did I make the wrong choice by coming here?“No! I didn't make the wrong choice,” I shook my head, “coming back is the right choice I could ever make.” I sniffed, tears rolled down my eyes as I kept walking aimlessly to the building I shared with His Majesty.I couldn't call it “Ours” because it was more like I was the only one staying in the building. Ever since the coronation, Prescott had never slept in the building that it would make sense if I could just call it my building.I kept on walking with my thoughts on Prescott whom I had gravely sinned a

Prescott’s POV Sitting behind my office desk with my palm on my chest, gently caressing the part that got stabbed with that poisoned dagger. “Ummm,” I let out a painful moan as my fingers softly pressed on the wound that was still covered with plaster. I hadn't completely healed from the wound because of the poison that was used on the dagger and the thought about the person behind it made me want to demolish the pack. The corner of my mouth curved into a smirk as the scene replayed in my head. The grin on the first daughter's face as she plucked the dagger into my chest made me wish I had killed her on the spot, right there in front of Nova whom she had talked into rebelling against me.But then again, what will Nova say about me? Wouldn't that prove her right that I was truly a beast she had accused me of being?I let in a drag of air as my mind drifted off to Nova and I wondered how she was doing. Was she busy resenting me? Or has she moved on with her life?I couldn't stop ques
