WINTER POVI was brought back to reality with a tap, and I gazed at the announcer."To form more allies, the Royal Moon pack had decided to extend the hand of marriage towards the young prince Damien of the MoonStone pack. It had been a match made since birth, according to both parents, and one who can't be disagreed upon. Let's call upon the party involved. Prince Damien Cord and Princess Winter Marvel."A wedding proposal?!No one told me that! This was the weirdest thing I had ever heard, and how the hell did they arrange for me to be with someone I didn't even know?!I didn't even like him. Fúck, he makes me uncomfortable.I glanced around the crowd and glared as my eyes collided with Luna Ashley.She knew all that was going on. She and Alpha Charles seemed happy. Fúck, everyone was delighted except maybe Summer, who looked like she'd kill me with any chance she got and Slade.If a glare could kill, I'd have been dead by now. Slade strode towards the stage and yanked the mic from

SUMMER POV"How do you feel making the atmosphere as tense as this? I'm sure you are over joyous."Winter raised her face to stare at me. The urge to claw at her face and eyes filled me.I wanted to make her hideous, so no one would ever stare at her.I desired to do many awful things to her, but I settled on the taunts."Leave me alone, Summer. I am in no mood to speak to you.""You agreed you are just an attention-seeking witch? What did you do back there? Now everyone's going to assume that's how we do all the fucking time! See my friend staring at me with disgust all because of you.""I didn't ask your friends to do that, and I wasn't the one who made everyone look at you in that manner." She murmured.Winter stood to her feet and attempted to walk away. I yanked her back by her hair and wrapped her hair around my hand."You brought shame to this family, Winter. It would help if you left when I told you to. Why the fuck didn't you?!""Let go of me!" She grunted and struggled in my

SLADE POV"I can't stay here," I mumbled over again. I needed to leave. I didn't know how I'd sneak out without getting caught, but I couldn't stay in the pack anymore.What was the need? My mate had rejected me, and I had no purpose anymore.Before now, I had been planning to leave to find my path and get some answers.I wanted to know a lot of things about myself and the reason I was sent to an orphanage at an early age. I was told someone in royal apparel brought me, but his face couldn't be recognized.He was my supposed father and told them to keep me safe. He had freaking said he was coming for me but never did.I desired to know why he did that and who my mother was.I wanted to know why I could barely shift and why my wolf was different from every other werewolf whenever I got to shift. I desired to see a lot of things, and I knew only one of my parents or two of them could provide me with an answer.I guess only then I'd have some peace within myself.But I didn't know where

WINTER POV"Damien," I mumbled, trying to move my mouth out of his reach, but he pulled me closer to him more, and I heard him groan."I am not in the mood for this. I'm rather exhausted and would like to rest," I said after being able to use my mouth again.Damien furrowed his brows as he accessed me, and he chuckled. "Why would you think I care if you are in the mood for it or not?"Well, for once, I knew he didn't. I was only hoping he'd let me be.I sighed, attempting to sit up and leave the bathtub, which was beginning to look too small, but Damien tugged me back, making me straddle him.His hand gripped my buttocks, squeezing hard, and he whispered. "Your due is to me in all parts of the house. Your exhaustion means nothing to me."I opened my mouth to speak, but instead of words coming out, I gasped as a finger slipped into my pússy."Goodness, I can't believe you're still tight after two years of fúcking nonstop!" Damien said. He was vulgar, and I was not too fond of his words.

SLADE POV"How long will you keep zoning out?!" Britney gripped my hand. She narrowed her eyes at me. "You barely give me attention."I sighed and stared at her. Her big brown eyes blinked, and she grumbled. "You promised never to do this again. Yet, it is happening.""You promised to be on your best behaviour." I reminded her, and she rolled her eyes."I have been on my best behaviour, but I have gotten nothing for it. I feel you bring me here to make a mockery of me.""Britney," I mumbled, watching her lip tremble. Her eyes brimmed with tears, and she sniffled."You don't have to do this here." I knew all the tactics. Back at home, she would throw tantrums and demand I give her attention.She was about to do the same right away. As I doubt, it would sit well with anyone. The last thing people needed at the party today was a tantrum from a pregnant Luna."It's about her. I'm talking about your supposedly lost mate. She's here, and you are reacting to her scent?!"Thanks to Summer's b
