He does not want me… He does not want me… He does not want me… Those were the words that kept repeatedly ringing in my head and mind. My Lycan could not take the thought of him not accepting us and began howling furiously in my head. I could care less about how she was feeling because I was feeling exactly the same way and was instead trying my very best to keep my composure. However, no matter how heartbroken I was at the moment, I could not help but wonder what his business was in the bar and his identity with the way men in black surrounded him. As I fought the feeling of being rejected and my curiosity about my impending mate that seemingly had no interest in me, a shadow of someone befell me from behind. I became alert at the sudden appearance and dangerous aura I perceived coming from the individual. I let out a warning growl and was ready to take action if he tried to attack me. “Miss, sorry to rudely walk up to you without warning, but my young master would like to see

Understanding my unsaid words, he immediately replied, "Ye...yes, your majesty", before cutting off the link.I increased my pace toward the west-east gate and could take in his scent again within a few minutes.However, I stopped as I felt myself stepping on slightly slippery ground. Taking a deep breath, the scent in the air I had previously missed as I was too focused on locating Dante's scent hit me a hundredfold.Blood!The pungent smell of blood was thick in the air.My hands shook slightly before I folded them tightly and slowly walked forward, scared of what I might see.The more I walked forward, the more I dreaded what scene I would encounter ahead.However, I braised and prepared myself to take drastic actions if necessary.On getting to the open field, I knew it was too late.I was too late.Shredded bodies lay everywhere across the field. Everywhere I looked, I would see a part of the human body.The sight before me was so gruesome that I went on my knees.It was a bloodb

"Do you know why the Alpha refused to accept his mate? Do you know why he refused to tell them who she was? It was because she was a spy sent by their enemy to infiltrate the pack. When he found out about it, he wanted nothing to do with her and sent her far away from him with a note that if they ever crossed part again, he would not hesitate to end her life, not considering that they were mates. That was why he made no effort to find her. He was a man of his word, and he was scared that if he got to see her again, he would be unable to keep his word." Taking a deep breath, I tried to focus on where he could be in the darkness before continuing. "Though he was hurt, he still tried to put the thought of his pack before his own needs. He thought he was doing the right thing. The Elders were finally able to locate who and where she was and set out to bring her back with them to the pack. However, they were met with a totally different situation when they got to her location. His enemies

But how will I go about it? It's obvious that it will not be an easy task since everyone will be watching my every move. But I knew that if I wanted to live and survive another day or week, I needed to leave the palace and run far away from this place as soon as possible. I needed to find a way to leave. Still, deep in thought, I felt a hand pat my shoulder bringing me out of my dazed state. "Child to dwell too much on what just happened. As I've said before, you are in safe hands now, and we will do everything to keep you safe." The Queen said before guiding me to lay back on the bed. "Right now, all you need to do is stay here and get better. You need all the strength you can get." She concluded, and when she saw that I had settled in bed, she patted my hands before walking towards the door. When she got to the entrance, she turned and looked at me before saying, "I will tell the maids to bring you a change of clothes and food for you. I don't think you can have a bath now beca

UNKNOWN POV We choose not to make a move and stop the maids as we listen to what they say about her in the room so as not to give away our hidden position. We were only instructed to watch over and protect her if there was any threat directed her way. We were not told to take action if some maids blasted her with their words. After all, she deserves whatever they say about her. It was apparent from how she tried so hard to regulate her breathing and how she lay stiffly on the bed that she was not asleep and heard everything they said. To be honest, I, for one, don't have anything against her and considered only to do my duty as commanded of me. However, I won't stop anyone that feels otherwise toward her. We all have our own opinions concerning things, and I won't impose mine on anyone like the other maid was doing. "Lee, she is on the move." Terry, the guy beside me, informed me quietly, bringing me out of my thoughts. Immediately alert, I watched her as she slowly got up from
