บททั้งหมดของ When Destiny Brings A Second Chance Mate: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

Sovia’s POV “My lady,” it was Vanessa’s voice coming from the door. Lydia and I peeled away from each other at once. For a moment Lydia avoided my eye contact as though she couldn’t bear to look me in the eyes. Sighing, I turned to the door. “Come in, Nessa.” She came inside, and paused like she noticed the tension lingered in the atmosphere. The fruit tray she was holding hung heavy in the air. “Umm, maybe I should go.” I shook my head. If Lydia didn’t want to talk about it, I wouldn’t push her. The past was a lot, but at least I’ve confirmed my suspicion —Lydia was also reborn, else she wouldn’t act this way. “Come here,” I said, patting the space between Lydia and me. “Hmm.” Vanessa nodded eagerly. Her two ponytails, neatly braided, hung with earthy threads and glitters. Ones I prepared after noticing she loved them. I took the tray and arched a brow towards Lydia. “Have some first.” Lydia’s eyes glistened with tears as she swallowed, pushing whatever she was tryin

Sovia's POV Tonight's event is called the moonlight hunt. And every alpha in the royal family must participate. Including the alpha king. But he doesn't hunt like the rest—he merely coordinates and that means he's out in the open. The truth is, I have a plan. But it was a plan that could get me killed. Or executed if anyone from the royal family finds out. “Everyone.” The priestess’s voice boomed at the center of the clearing. People started to gather closer as they formed a circle. Vanessa shifted beside me, uncomfortable as we stood on the podium. “People of Babel, I welcome you all to the hundredth moonlight hunt festival.” “Luna, what’s the moonlight hunt?” Vanessa whispered behind me. However, the people beside us gave us that look that spelled… shut it. The sigh escaped my lips, seeing how eager she was to know. Vanessa, like other kids, didn’t have a formal education. Things she learned were mainly from me. Not to mention she didn’t like studying and I never forced her.

Sovia’s POV He didn’t let me explain. He closed the distance in a few strides and pinned me agaist the podium rail, trapping me with his body. “You wish to tame me—” Moon Goddess, he seemed really pissed. How much did he hear exactly? “I…” “Answer me, Sovia.” What could I say? Sorry, I didn’t mean those words. That was useless. This demon's trust in me was practically nonexistent. Nothing I said was going to cool the fire in his heart. “Your… Your Highness.” The words went dry inside my mouth when he grabbed my hand and pulled me closer. I went stiff, feeling one of his hands circle to grab the back of my neck, holding me in place. My eyes shut instinctively, and I heard him. “You wish to tame me—but look at you… weak.” When I opened my eyes to look at him, my resolve sank. Zadekiah’s presence could make anyone cower effortlessly. My knees could barely hold my weight the longer I stared at him. “Not even in your dreams,” he said it like it was a final word o

Sovia's POV“Do you think this is some kind of a joke—you stand before the Alpha and dare to play such games?” The Luna shook her head. She leaned in closer to the Alpha.“I think she’s just trying to mock the Royal Family.” She gave that lingering stare, a smirk curling at the edge of her lip.The moon petal had clearly been here—and now it was gone. All eyes were fixed on me, watching. Waiting for me to crawl into a hole.Moon Goddess, what do I do?“Sovia, explain this.” The Alpha King’s voice made me snap my head forward. A dry lump rose in my throat. Vanessa, who was beside me—I could feel her beginning to shake.Someone was obviously sabotaging me.So I mustered a smile. “Alpha, please forgive me—unfortunately the moon petal is gone.”Gasps rippled through the crowd like wildfire.Even the people from the crowd were beginning to notice there was something wrong.The Alpha King narrowed his eyes with interest, one hand pressed on his knees as he leaned forward. Then he scoffed. “

Zadekiah’s POV Why was it that all it took for me to lose my will was her? She shouldn’t matter. A woman who has done nothing but drag me under, yet I can’t control myself when it comes to her. Sovia Henric—I despise you. So much it makes my head pound like it had been smashed endlessly. When I got back to the arena, the chaos seemed to have died down. The scent of blood and burnt silver still hung heavily in the air. My hand found someone and the moment our eyes met he went petrified. “You… Your High—” “Where is she?” “Who… who…” He trembled like a damn leaf. I forced him straight and he shut his eyes, turned his face away. “Where is my mate… where is Sovia?” “I… I don’t know.” Zion growled inside my head, and I shoved him aside, scanning the place carefully. Trying to pick up her scent was nearly impossible — for once, my mind was a battlefield of a thousand screams yelling her name. And the scent of everyone was mixed in the air. It would take every ounce of focus which I
