Fabian's POV I stormed out when Theo slammed the door shut, my heart pounding in my chest. The image of Theo's cold and uncaring expression replayed over and over in my mind, fueling the flames of anger that consumed me. There was no regret in his brother's eyes...The look in Rhianna's eyes, one of gratefulness and dispair made me want to smash the castle down until I found her friend."I think it is Beyden," Forrest said as soon as I walked into Peyton's room. I growled in response and stopped when I saw Peyton looking at me with wide eyes.I expected her to cry, but instead she miled at me, making my heart melt at the sight of her smile. She was the most beautiful little girl and I hated that Theodore was such a bastard to this precious darling's mother. I smiled and sighed as I picked her up when she waved her hands up and down."Come here, princess." I lifted her up. "So what were you playing?"She babbled something and I laughed and Forrest stood up.The room crackled with tens
Rhianna's POVHe was so f*cking smug. I hated this man like I had never hated anything or anyone in my life. Not even Louisa or the bullies. He was the biggest f*cking bully ever.I stared at Theodore, my eyes full of fire."Stop looking like you want to kill me, Rhianna. You can't. Now, put a smile on and come be pretty. That is the only good thing about you - your beauty. Hmm... and you do know what you do in bed," he said with a leer as he studied me up and down. The dress was as beautiful as it was revealing and when he looked at me, I felt dirty. "Now, let's go say hi to the Alphas, and Lunas, okay. Be a good girl, Rhianna. If you want your friend to live, you will be a good girl." Every word coming out of him was patronizing, demeaning.The more he talked, the more I wanted to defy him, deny him of his demands.I hissed.My anger simmered beneath the surface like a smoldering ember, intense and consuming. The betrayal had ignited a fiery rage within me, and every fiber of my bei
Rhianna's POV"Hit her. Come on, Louisa. Break her jaw."Oh hell. Not again, I thought with a frown. "She needs to know where her place is. Do it." "Bitches," Nia, my wolf, said. I sighed as I looked at the crowd around me, their faces vile. They were all angry for what I -- no, what Nia did."Show her she can't mess with a Beta's daughter. How dare she? This orphaned, weak bitch whose wolf is the size of a puppy... and she dares touch you. We should not let her get away with this." More voices urging Louisa to put me in my place. More cruel jeers. I had never done anything to warrent this kind of hatred from them, but they derived their daily dose of happiness from hurting me, mocking me. They were pure sadists, these wolves who thought they walked on water, while I walked on mud. "I didn't mean-" I started and stopped when a growl stopped me. I knew it was not going to help me in anyway. I looked up to see Louisa glaring at me, covered in pancake batter from head to toe. I want
Rhianna's POV(Two and half years later)"Hey Anne, stay with Peyton," I said to my daughter's caretaker, and also my only friend, as I dropped off my daughter at a small playschool within the castle grounds. "I am going to surprise Theo."I was so happy, I am already bouncing. "Of course, enjoy your time with the Alpha King," she winked as she started to grab toys out of the boxes. "Peyton and I will have a good time, won't we Peyton?"My two years old daughter giggled and waved at me. She was precious, she was amazing. She was the proof of our love. Mine and Theo's. I was so proud that we created this amazing being. I usually hate to be away from her, but today I wanted to be alone with Theodore --just him and me and the amazing dress I bought for this occasion-- and I knew Anne would never let anything happen to Peyton. Anne loved Peyton just as I did. It was my mate's birthday and I wanted to surprise him with the cake I made, and more. I wanted to make love to him. I had lie
Rhianna's POV(Two weeks later)"F*ck. So tight, my Queen. You are beautiful." Helpless tears streamed down my face. I was angry at myself. Disgusted with myself. My body felt like it was ripping apart from the inside out. I hate you, moon goddess, for doing this to me. Even after everything, his touch still brought tingles, and I hated it. I wish the fucking mate bond would just break. I had said the words so many time, inside, but before he accepted and before the mark was broken, we would still be connected by the fucking mate bond. I hated it.Once upon a time, I believed it to be the best blessing a girl like I could have asked for. Now I realized it was only a curse. "Nia..."She hadn't been talking with me for a week, and I was so scared. I wondered if Theo's betrayal had broken her completely. My poor wolf. She was the one who suffered more. Little by little, the pieces of me I had built were broken once again, and this time, my mate was the one who did it to me. Slowly
Rhianna's POVIt wasn't like I wanted to bump into him or anything. I always hated being so close to the twins. They brought some kind of feelings in me that I didn't very much like.They were like danger lights, and I wanted to stay far, far away. I looked up into Forrest's bright green eyes. They glowed. So bright. He was handsome. No, women would call him hot as hell. He was also a Playboy and a devil. Hell. All the three brothers were handsome, even though they were all a*sholes."You weren't looking either," I snapped at him, suddenly angry with him, with everything and everyone in the world.What the hell did I do to be cursed like this? For the infinite times, I wished I had my parents, I wished they hadn't died. He growled under his breath and glared down at me. He was shocked, and angry. Of course. I was shocked too when those words left my lips. Usually Nia was the one who did things like this. But now here I was, staring into the eyes of the man who was called The devi
Rhianna's POVI AM F*CKED. I was screaming inside my head at myself. It was Nia. My wolf was a bad influence. She was the one who corrupted me. I kicked the floor in anger and hissed when I accidentally hit the leg of Peyton's crib. "You still haven't opened the door, Adams." H sounded more than just irritated. "What is wrong with you? Just open the damn door." Anne gulped and walked to the door. "If I die today, take care of Peyton for me, Anne?" I mind-linkd her and she rolled her eyes as if to say I was being dramatic. "I am sure he doesn't want to kill you. Just open the door," Anne replied. From the sound of a boot kicking against the door, I was sure he was going to do as he promised. Kicking the door down. This guy was f*cking insane. This whole family was insane. It was my bad luck that I was saddled with the King of assholes, my freaking mate. Moon Goddess was an idiot. Sorry, but we both know it is the truth, goddess. Anne's eyes widened as I thrust Peyton to her. Sh
Rhianna's POV "Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?" I was really curious to know what changed all of a sudden. Did they know about Theo and me? "I mean, why now after all these years?" He didn't answer. He just stalked the entire length of the room like a caged animal and grunted and growled. Of course, why would he answer to some lowly Omega? Huh?I gritted my teeth and shrugged."Because..." Fabian tried, but he had no excuse, as well. "Of course, it is not new to me. I mean, I have been here for what... two years and you guys barely even look at me or talk to me. When you talk, it is only to snap at me about some mistake I do, and I do a lot of mistakes, don't I?""Adams... it is not-" Fabian once again trailed off as he met his brother's eyes with desperation. Forrest was still stalking back and forth. He shook his head and let out a low growl. "I know you don't consider me your equal. Of course, I am some lowly Omega who came out of nowhere into your home. You also don't
