Semua Bab The Rogue's Little Mate: Bab 161 - Bab 170

Seven’s Point of ViewFear kicked sense back into me and I turned on my heels and ran. I didn't know who that was, but they didn't look friendly. I strained my ears for some sort of indication that they were following me, but got none. I didn’t run away because I was afraid. I’m still weak and couldn’t fight. I’m not even sure what kind of creatures live in this kind of dense forest. I looked over my shoulder to double check and saw the figure calmly walking in my direction from across the stream. I cursed myself again and again for being so stupid as I ran further away. Sure, I know vampires do exist but living in a forest? Not exactly the kind of vampire I was thinking of. They were unbelievably fast, had heightened senses, and a craving for blood. I could have a chance but given my situation. I’m no match.Once I couldn't run any further, I ducked behind a tree and tried to catch my breath. The figure had just been walking, so I figured I had some sort of a lead. I knew I couldn't

The day before the wedding came like a funeral wrapped in silk.I stood before the mirror, my reflection nearly unrecognizable. Layers of ivory lace hugged my body like a web. Jewels glitter across the bodice, not my choice, of course, chosen to match the crown that would soon rest on my head. A crown I never asked for. I was in my dress rehearsal per Axel’s command. He wanted it perfect. I touched the collarbone peeking through the fabric. My skin felt too tight. My throat, a cage.Tomorrow night will be the royal wedding. Axel wanted it during the red moon. He wanted the wolf mating process to be under his beloved moon, in worship of that bitch Moon Goddess. I called it a well-decorated sentence.Outside, the castle’s lawn had been transformed. Where there had once been dying flower beds and suffocating fog, now there were bursts of enchanted color. Roses spiraled upward like they’d been sung into bloom. Paths lined with moon lilies glowed faintly beneath the sun, casting soft li

I walked slowly, each step heavier than the last.The crowd remained quiet, too quiet. Every face I passed wore a carefully practiced expression. Politeness. Formal smiles. A few looked genuinely happy. Others seemed… relieved.Relieved that finally, their monster King has finally chosen to settle down with me, his real mate and would never kill any of them if he’s pissed. Or maybe relieved that Axel’s rage had found a target and they had escaped it.The string quartet played louder as I moved forward. My bouquet trembled slightly in my hands. I gripped it tighter to hide it. I couldn’t cry. Not now. Axel hated when I cried.“Emotions are weakness,” he once told me. “Especially on a woman who’s meant to be a queen.”So I held it in. Every sob. Every scream. And I swallowed my pride and the lump that formed in my throat. I looked around and saw him. I gasped. For a second, I thought my world suddenly stopped and I forgot I was walking down the aisle.Seven. I stopped breathing. Even i

The moment Lunar vanished into the crowd, the rage I had bottled inside threatened to break through my skin. My vision blurred. I couldn’t tell if it was from fury, heartbreak, or the wine.And then I felt her hand and so it was Amber.She appeared beside me probably to guide me to a room I never want to go to. "You look like you want to kill someone," she said, her voice low and edged with amusement but her eyes were scanning me, worried, careful.I let out a sharp breath and gripped the table to steady myself."You have no idea how much I wanted to kill that bitch," I whispered back, my voice cracking as I fought the tears threatening to fall.Amber didn’t say anything at first. She just slipped an arm under mine, helping me rise from the heavy throne-like chair."Hold it in," she murmured in my ear. "Not here. Not now."I nodded, barely. My throat burned and my body ached from the weight of everything I was pretending not to feel."I will," I said quietly. “For now.”Amber didn’t

"This is crazy." I mumbled. “It was Axel’s words,” Amber replied, her gaze couldn’t meet mine. “You know what will happen to us if you don't go.”My hand trembled. I haven’t even recovered from that damn Wolf Mating and Axel already demanding my presence? Grinning my teeth, I said my goodbye to Amber and walked to the west wing of the castle where, according to Axel, our love nest. Not only did I feel exposed because I’m not wearing underwear underneath my dress, I felt humiliated. Each step I took was heavy, like I’m pulling a chained stone behind me. I knocked twice and I heard Axel’s voice inside. “Come in,” he said. I took a long sigh before entering the room. Without any warning, Axel pulled me in before I could even close the door. I stumble onto him. Axel moved me on the bed, accidentally revealing my thighs when my dress was lifted up. His eyes were glued to me but his hands cupped my inner thigh, finger tips softly caressed my body. Axel lowered himself as my little d
