_Herley’s POV_It was finally time for the dinner with Atlas’ family. I haf smoothened out my dress for the millionth time that night though there was no crease in it.I was just that nervous.From the moment Atlas had told me about it, I wondered if they would like me.Would they be like George's family and try to make me feel less? Or worse, how would they react to Batya?“Remember we have to act like we are are truly in love. My family is really perceptive, so don't make them suspect anything,” Atlas said, placing his hand on my shoulders.He stood behind me, staring at me from the mirror.“And you look really beautiful tonight. Relax, they would love you,”I could hear the sincerity in his voice and I tried to relax.It didn't sound as if he was lying to me just to calm my nerves.“Mommy," Batya called, running into the room.Atlas and I turned out attention to her as she ran to us.“Uncle Bren said to tell you that Grandma has arrived," She said and I turned to Atlas.Bren had use

Next chapter. Atlas returned with someone and I excused myself to go drink some milk to help with the smoke. I was walking to the kitchen when I see Anna walk past me, I wasn't sure of what I saw because when I looked again, she was gone. “That's strange," I thought to myself. Maybe I'm just tired. I needed to get my glass of milk and go back to sleep. Walking to the refrigerator in the kitchen, I grab the milk box, pouring a glass for myself. Taking a sip, I turned around to look out the window and I froze in shock. The glass in my hands slipped off my hands, falling to the floor and shattering. There was a wolf running around the estate grounds. I suddenly felt a sense of deja vu, fear gripping me as I stared at the wolf. Has Daciana found me? No, that can't be possible. How could she have found me? My thoughts drifts off to George and Thomas and I blanched. It can't be.. Batya.. I have to check on Batya. Running up the staircase, I ran into Batya’s room, my eyes frant

I watched as Atlas let out a breath, a million thoughts on his mind.He looked like he wanted to ask me a lot of questions so I waited patiently for him.“Did the evil princess know the other woman was her sister? Did she knew rhat she tried to kill the sister she loves so much and had sacrificed her life for once?" He asked, staring at me as he waited for an answer.“No," I answered without hesitation. He was about to speak but I didn't let him." But that doesn't make it any better though. She still did evil. Even if they were not related, it still doesn't justify all she did. For a while she was broken to see her sister and know she had done all this things to the very girl she once gave her life to protect. Though a part of her was resentful. Why? You may ask. Because she had sacrificed all that she could. While Neha lived the kind of life she wanted, she could only suffer. Neha had enjoyed everything that she wanted, the life, the family, love, everything! While she didn't get any

Next chapterI get startled by Atlas’ suddenly arrival and I gasp lightly.My phone slipped from my hands and I tried helplessly to catch it but to no avail.It dropped to the floor, the sound of it crashing against the tiled floor loud. And I flinched.I hear Atlas walking to where I stood.With shaky hands, I bend to pick up yhe phone at the exact moment Atlas does.Our fingers brush as we both reach for the phone, but Atlas is able to pick ut up before I do.He takes my hands in his as we both stood to out feet, a frown on his face.“Have you been standing the entire time?" He asked me.I had indeed beem pacing in front of the door sinxe he walked in and he seemed like he was going to get angry if I told him the truth.I looked at the door he just walked out from and I looked back at him, unable to open my lips and talk.I couldn't lie to Him so I just had to tell the truth.I nodded my head slowly, waiting to see his reaction.His eyes darken and I gulped.“Why would you do that?

Next chapter.It had been hours since Gabriel had walked in, and it felt like every part of me was sore and bleeding. The cuts from the broken car glass plus the bite wounds I got from Gabriel stung badly and I let silent tears slide down my face.Each movement I made, made me want to cry out in pain.I cursed Gabriel in my mind, promising for revenge… i wouldn't let him go after this.I would destroy him and make him regret everything that he had done to me.I couldn't move an arm without it feeling like a thousand needles were pierced into it. I didn't want ro scream out in pain, I didn't want Gabriel have that satisfaction of hearing me anymore.“You know I can geal right? Let me heal you," My wolf suggested but I stopped her. I couldn't afford her healing me at such a time. I knew she was onky concerned about me, but that was only going to put me in more problems.“Why? You're hurting badly, you need to heal,” She argued, trying to make me see reasoning.I knew she was only conce
