Chapter 21- Caught up

Diona’s POV"Elio..." I called out as I stood up, my eyes wide as I looked at him. Without saying a word, I ran and wrapped my arms around him. He lifted me in his arms as he inhaled my scent."Oh my God, Diona, it’s really you! I thought I was dreaming, but I know I’ll always remember you and I’ll never forget you," he whispered while hugging me. He untangled me as he looked into my eyes and I into his.Before we realized we were too close to each other and moved apart.Elio was my ex, back when everything was fine. He was the son of an ALpha from a neighboring pack, and we basically grew up together. We got involved with each other, and at one point, we always wanted to be mates. But things didn’t go as planned when he got mated to someone else. I’ve never forgotten how that felt.I’ve never been more heartbroken than when I found out. After the fall of my parents, he was sent for warrior training, and I never saw him again."What... what are you doing here? I..."I smiled at him,

Chapter 22- The rebel

Diona POV"What is the meaning of this?" His voice was loud and angry as he glared between the two of us, with a murderous look. Elio's gaze was still on mine, and as soon as he saw the Alpha King's eyes, he looked away, clearing his throat and shifting aside."Alpha King..." he bowed while I was still caught in the moment. What gave him the right to come into my room? What gave him the right to stand there as if he owed me, staring back at me like I had betrayed him or something?"I'll ask one more time, what is the meaning of this?" he hissed as he stepped into the room. He was wearing nothing but black pants, his muscular chest exposed, and his hair fell back from his face as if he had just returned from a run."Alpha King... it isn't..." Elio stepped up, but I interrupted him."It's nothing," I blurted out as Elio looked back at me, his eyes wide. I didn't know if it was my accent, my mannerisms, or the fact that I had said nothing. He seemed scared, but I...I was supposed to be

Chapter 23- The broken king

Asael POVI've never felt so terrible in my life. I had her watched. I didn’t know why I did, but ever since the conversation with my mother, I began to suspect that she may have in fact been my mate.I couldn't sleep after that, and for some reason, I couldn't get her out of my mind. There was only one way to know if she was mine.The scent may be masked by the pregnancy, but her sensitive skin shouldn’t reject a mate’s touch. If only I could touch her. Thinking back to it, I realized for certain I and Diona have never shared a skin touch.Which meant there must be a high chance she was mine.And if I ever found out she was mine, nothing on earth would stop me from claiming her. No law, no rules, no relationship.If she was mine.As I stalked the hallway to her room, praying she was asleep, I felt like a creep, but I knew she would never let me a centimeter near her if she was awake, and I had no reason to touch her.But then I stopped as I found an unfamiliar scent. A man, a guard

Chapter 24-Accusations

Diona’s POVI sat there the next morning, staring at the mirror.Elio’s words echoed in my mind, and I smiled with happiness."It worked, it worked! The spray, whatever it was, has numbed the touch of the mate bond between us. Yesterday, I was able to sleep through the night as I thought about it. I had done that; I had broken him... beyond all measures. I could see it in his eyes, the way he stared at me when he touched me. It was as if he suspected and hoped that one touch could fix everything.Suddenly, the doors were thrown open, and a maid stalked into the room. I turned and glared at her.What’s wrong with the people here at this pack not knowing how to knock?"What is the meaning of this? How dare you barge into my room without my permission?" I snapped at her."I’m sorry, Luna Diona, but I’ve been knocking for quite a while," a maid stood there, her head bowed. I could feel the arrogance in her tone. I quickly raised my head as I looked at her."You should have waited," I snap

Chapter 25-unfortunate circumstances

Third POVSharon stood there as she watched Diona's compulsions right in front of her; her feet were planted to the ground, and she seemed too scared to move, knowing what could happen.It was no secret to the King’s affection for Diona, and more than anything, it made her furious.All her life, she had trained for one pure goal, which wasTo be the Luna Queen. Her father, a prominent alpha in the king's court, did everything he could to make her appear like a girl a king would date as soon as he had a daughter.She had no say in his words.She knew she had to follow and obey his commands without question and not think about it (the mate was every single woman's greatest desire; mothers thrust their daughters at his feet once they turned eighteen, believing he was their mate), and she would never forget when the same had happened to her.It was at a court dinner when her father had presented her to him. Before that,
