All Chapters of My sister’s mate became my forbidden love.: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Victoria's POV This was once my place. Everything here told me of my power over ages. My power, my name, my story.And now... nothing.I just went to visit the place I used to rule. Just a visitor in my own life.Morning after the Harvest Ceremony found me enjoying tea in the west courtyard. Then I thought, of course, every woman in a royal household should be able to get respect and command attention . Then I thought a woman’s worth is tied to how many people bowed down in fear when she walked into a room. Then I thought a woman’s worth is tied to her family heritage, it was tied to power.Now looking at those younger omegas just having fun with their children, I knew that I was wrong. They did not really have to be scary to get respect because they had already won it by being kind, bold, and members of a community.I never really got that before.I sighed and took a sip of tea: it ceased to be hot fast in the morning air.That's when Caroline came over.***May I take a seat, she i

Adrain's pov There was an unusual airiness in the council house that morning. I was standing erect at the top of the great oak table, with my fingers following the wolf carving in the middle.Well, I said, and glanced about the room, things will change.A wave of unrest ran across the council members. Months I had been blindly ignoring it and letting them go on with games, even cleaning up after them as they were making the mess. But those days were over.I straightened my jacket. Now on, this pack will not be terror and who you know based, but fairness and guts. And when that does not suit you, you may walk out that door now.The room went silent. Not a single person moved.I continued, and my tone was steady but low. I have reviewed all the decisions taken within the past year. Many of them were simply erroneous, usually those directed against the omegas.There were glances among a few members of the council.Since this time, I have said, omegas will be treated as equals. They will

AdrianThis morning the council hall was full. I was able to sense the tension as I walked in. The elder was sitting in a straight line with their faces set in hard and unreadable lines. The young men of the council evaded my eye. A small number of them bowed me out when I sat at the table head.Rowan was standing round the back of me, silent and alert as he did. Lila was not; I had requested that she would not. Anything this meeting became, she did not have to be in the middle of it.Alpha Roderick got up when his scribe had read the official greetings.Your Majesty, he began, and bowed, just the necessary amount not to violate custom. Your... attempts to modernize our ways are appreciated by the council. But some we must say--have not your reforms in this world been excessive?I leaned back, calm. "Explain yourself."Breathing in deep he turned to the assembled council members. We have forever been a pack strong and well-conducted. But now our Alpha is trying to do so. Omegas are ac

Sophia's pov The fact that life may change without prior notice was weird. One day, you wake up and you are asking yourself whether you will ever feel whole again and the second day, you see your sister smiling in the first time in months.I did not say anything at first, when I got to know that Lila was pregnant again. I was only standing there looking at her, who sat on the bed just rubbing the stomach as she could not believe it either. Her face was pale but calm. I recognized that as a fear-hope look in her eyes.She looked up at me. Say something, she said almost fearfully.I returned and sat down next to her. I do not know what to say, on my small laugh, I said. "Other than... you deserve this. You really do."Her eyes watered. Since all this had occurred, I did not imagine that I would ever see joy again.I grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze. Lately maybe the moon is on your side.That made her laugh softly. It was the sort of laughter I had not heard of her so long. And a

Lila's pov It been weeks after the public apology of Victoria. Since then the palace had changed. It felt... lighter. Now servants smiled as they went by me. The guards also addressed me by name, rather than by title, even the maids, who previously did not even dare look at me, were asking how I was doing.It was strange -- this peace. I wasn't sure I trusted it yet.The majority of mornings I woke up even earlier than the sun. I loved those silent hours, when the halls were empty and the odour of lavender in the court had come in at the open windows. I had already begun to make a bit of a bump in the belly, and occasionally I could detect the slightest flutter--to remind me that something living and new was developing in me.Sophia replied that it was the goddess that granted me a second chance. I did not know whether I believed that or not, but I would have liked to.Still, this morning I was sitting at the window, brushing my hair when Adrian entered. He did not knock--he did not
