HAERAAs dejected and as overwhelmed as I was the next day, I still woke up and went to do what I loved doing in the kitchen and maybe because it was required of me to be there. I knew today will be more hectic as it was the last day of the ritual. The one I failed to stop and the one which will end tonight with the mates marking each other. I've thought it over all through the night and I still couldn't stop thinking about it. Yet I was helpless with nothing to do about it. I tried. I really tried but I still failed. Alpha Zachary didn't believe me and he called me a low class maid who was trying to seduce him even if I could see the attraction for in his eyes. I felt it in the way we both rocked on the bed the night before and the way he sniffed around me. Why was he fighting it? Why can't he just see the truth and believe that I am the true owner of that scent and it was stolen from me just as he was stolen from me? He couldn't read through the lines and there nothing more I could

ZACHARY "Her. I want her." I announced confidently which was surprising because right before Alpha Jarvold's offer, I had no intention of taking her with me. My eyes remained on her and they only left her frame due to the massive wave of surprise that reached my nostrils or should I call it shock? My mate's shock at my request was more prominent. Probably because I already marked her and my eyes soon connected with her questioning gaze. "I didn't know you found my mom's company indispensable. Who would have thought you wanted her to leave her pack for yours?" Ilvira spoke out. She placed her hand on my lap as she giggled at her attempts to crack a joke. Only it didn't sound like a joke to me. "I knew I told you you can request for whatever that pleases you but I can't give you my Luna, Alpha Zachary." Alpha Jarvold retorted, Supporting his daughter's misinterpretation of my words. The family laughed at their assumption but I cleared the air immediately. "No offense to your Luna but I

HAERAMoving from one part of the woodlands to another can be enjoyable when you find yourself among the right companions. It can also be the complete opposite of enjoyable if you have to travel with a grumpy coachman, a worn-out carriage, and sick horses. "I'm never traveling again." Dezra purred in my head as my feet landed on solid ground again. I attempted to stretch my sore joints and muscles but I ended up causing more pain to myself. "I thought you were excited that our beloved mate asked us to come to his pack." I stated in response to my wolf complaints. "Not after I had to ride in a wretched carriage that was full of that spot brat belongings." Dezra's irritation marched mine completely. I couldn't wait to get rid of the princess's rich scent...it was choking and during the ride here, I felt like I was going to die. How my destined mate thought we smell alike was a mystery because I surely didn't have her sweet flowery scent. As if dealing with that wasn't enough, the carria

HAERAThey were all gone? Silence engulfed me as I ceased working for a while to see if I was alone once again or not. They had left me to it just like they had been doing in the past few days. It was unfortunate that I couldn't continue to cook but it was much more unfortunate that I had to overwork like a fucking machine. There was nothing that gladdens my heart in this pack...Absolutely nothing. Well except Opaline. She might be reserved but she was no doubt the only friend I had in Alpha Zachary's pack. I couldn't believe it myself but I missed my old pack and the life that I was forced to leave behind all because of Alpha Zachary's request. Yes, the maids uniform at moonstone pack was hideous but my uniform changed when my status changed from being a maid to a chef. A chef.... I missed that too. Nostalgia hit me when I looked at the uniform I had on. It was the same as the other maids in this pack but it was nowhere close to my chef uniform. Dezra was silent while I reminisced ab

HAERA I was being molested. Or should I have said I was being Tormented? It wasn't surprising anyway. I mean, hasn't torment been part and parcel of my miserable life? I would have been unbodered but Princess Ilvira...No. The new Luna was what everyone has been calling her yet I haven't been able to address her as such. Don't get me wrong, Princess Ilvira deserved to be a Luna but she wasn't destined to be the luna of the Imperial pack. Although how she shoulders her duties had me questioning my destiny. I would have questioned the mate bond too but the soul wrecking pain that consumed me that night after my destined mate and his new luna left the ceremony was beyond what I had imagined and I couldn't bear it. I didn't even want to relive the experience by thinking about it. The pain was far greater than all the pain I had felt in my life. Even if all other painful experiences were to be combined to be one, it still wouldn't have been as painful as what I felt that night. I haven't h
