CHAPTER 22ODESSA’S POV“I look like I got hit by a truck.” I groaned as I stared at my beat-up reflecting on the mirror. My hair was standing all over the place, my eyes were red and heavy with dark circles around them. It was clear as day that I had the worst night of my life. Why? Because of a certain King. After he left, I just couldn't concentrate on anything. I paced my room several times while looking for my hair brush which was in my hand by the way, even though I'd combed my hair for the night already. Out of frustration, I forced myself to sleep but it was a constant battle. My heart was beating so loudly in my ear drums that I hear the sound of my own thoughts. Something about the way I dismissed the King last night, bugged me to no end. Did the King love Eira when she was a princess too? Was she using both the King and the Prince to her advantage? Was she manipulating them? These questions and some more danced in my mind all through the night, but I couldn't find an a

ODESSA’S POV“Cut the crap, Victor. Why are you suddenly nice to me?” I said as soon as the King was out of earshot. Victor looked at me as if I'd said the most bizarre thing in the entire world. “What?” “What? Are you surprised?” I asked, pinning him with my stare. “Did you seriously not know how you've been treating me?” I was playing the part of a sad and unhappy lover and he was stupid enough to fall for it. If the maids saw how disconnected we were, there would be whispers. Which I don't mind, but I don't want my name involved in any gossip between Victor and his hoe. “Calm down, Odessa. I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.” He replied looking extremely clueless. I scoffed, “You come to my kingdom, talk about wooing me and falling in love with me. Now that I'm here, you suddenly forget I exist?” “That's not true. That's not what happened.” He countered angrily. “How many times did you come to see me after I woke up? Did you even know I wasn't in my room duri

ODESSA’S POVI squinted my eyes at him, “Doesn't he participate every year?” Hugo shook his head, “No. He doesn't.” “Why? And why is it such a big deal?” I asked, folding my body and tucking my foot under my butt. “Well, everyone is excited because as dangerous as it sounds, we might finally get a chance to see the King’s wolf. Some of these games involve shifting.” Hugo explained. I cocked my head to the side, “Doesn't the King shift?” “No, he doesn't. He hasn't from the minute his wife, the Lycan Queen died.” A solemn expression clouding Hugo’s face. “That's not possible. I've seen the King’s wolf. Or at least I had a small tiny glance.” I chuckled. Hugo turned to me with wide eyes while Evelyn perched up on her arm, “That's not possible, Princess.” “What?” “You couldn't have seen the King’s wolf. You couldn't have.” Evelyn said with a serious expression. “And why is that?” I folded my arms, suddenly feeling offended. “Because if you did. You'd be dead, Princess.” Hugo re

AUTHOR’S POV“What did you just say?” Kaiden asked, stepping very far away from her. Odessa had to sit at the edge of the bed before she collapsed on the floor again. “I asked if you were the Rogue King. There are rumors–”“So you believe the rumors?” He asked, his face looking a bit disappointed.Odessa shook her head, “No, I don't…I mean I can't conclude unless I hear what you have to say.” “Is my answer really that important to you?” He asked. “Yes. It is. We both know what will happen if you're truly the Rogue King.” Odessa’s eyes were glazed over with worry. “And you suddenly care? Why?” “Can you answer me without trying to change the subject?” She countered. “Fine! I'm not the Rogue King and I've not shifted ever since my wife died–”“Liar!” Odessa yelled as she stood up on her feet, placing her hand on the wall. Kaiden glared at her, “Wha–”“You're a liar!” She thundered, hot tears rolling down her cheeks. Kaiden's expression softened and he wanted to walk up to her and

AUTHOR’S POVAs soon as Odessa stepped foot into the Arena, she and Kaiden locked eyes. It had happened so fast that it made Odessa blush. Her sight was poor and hence she couldn't see him very clearly from where she stood but Kaiden on the other hand could see her perfectly well. She stood bright and shiny amongst the others, probably because he had told the designer to add glittering gems all over her dress. The dress wasn't that extravagant, but the beauty in its simplicity was what drew other’s attention towards her. As she walked closer, her curvy shape became more clearer to him. The dress had fit her exactly as he'd imagined it. She looked like a fairy, a beautiful warrior fairy because that's what his woman was. A frown settled on his face as he took note of how exhausted she looked.Was this what she meant by waking up like a zombie? Kaiden wanted to take her in his arms and cuddle her in his bed until he was sure that she'd had enough rest. According to hierarchy and i
