Chapter 52:Naya's pov ...I screamed out my frustration in my head.He was so proud of his position, because of course I was tied to him.I couldn't go anywhere. I couldn't even reject him.His arrogance and ego was as big as the entire palace if not bigger.I tried again to get him to let me go.I pushed him hard, but he didn't let go.I hated the bond so much right now.It was too strong, it continued to curl tightly around us to whip its magic around us, sealing our fates so ruthlessly that there was no room to maneuver.I couldn't believe that this is what I had looked up to my whole life.I couldn't even call it a lie, because everyday I see how people Cherish their mates, I see love between mates.But everything involving me is a struggle.It's s absolutely unfair that I was chosen for this role without my consent."But the moon goddess doesn't need our consent to give us roles.Fate never conducts interviews for people's destiny.People are always chosen to do c

Brie's pov ...Being queen has been my dream since I was a child.My mom might have kick-started the entire thing, and my dad got on board later on. I hated it at first, not being allowed to play as much as I wanted to.Having restrictions on friends and being told I had to be perfect every time.Even in school, and I hated school, mostly because I hated reading.Crushing on Stefan began much later when I was fifteen,The man is so handsome even mated females are attracted to him.I know that part of the attraction stems from the power he wields.I can't believe how lucky I got, that he actually chose me. But I must confess it was all mostly my mom's doing.She is a freaking mastermind.She can tell what would happen months ahead and make adjustments, plans and preparations towards it."It's not rocket science." she always says.But as far as I'm concerned it is rocket science, plus the fact that she has so much time on her hands at home.Most women like my mother just stay

Brie's pov ... A chore as simple as dinner, it's just food no one gives it a thought. Except ofcourse if you're famished. The twins and their mates seem relaxed, the warriors too. But I was coiled tightly like a snake, ready to strike. Unfortunately, I won't be striking anything or anyone. The simple act of eating my meal was already spoiled, corrupted, and destroyed by fate. Destroyed by the mate bond. I eat my meal mechanically, because my training has taught me to smile and act as though normal even though there is deadly war going on inside of me. Even if the food tastes like dry grass or paper or wool. I don't know and I don't care. I am caught in two minds. Should I be happy that I have found my mate, another mate, my second chance. Maybe I should be, maybe it's a sign from the moon goddess, maybe she is telling me to choose fate, to choose love, to choose happiness. But that won't be good for my family, all the work we have put in, to make me who I am, to ensure we r

Brie’s Pov..."Your insults don't affect me, my love.I won't be the man I am today, if I am easily controlled by a few insults.Now you can decide how you want to play this or you can go with my mark on your neck for the world and Stefan to see.The rules are on my side, the laws would favor me, even if you claim to have been forcefully marked. I would bear their punishment for once in my life just to keep you.You are worth all my time, you are worth all the wait.So if you think there is a way out for you with me. I will let you know now that there is no way out for you.You can begin to destroy your dreams of being queen, It's not your place in the first instance, stop trying to be what you're not and be what the goddess had made you to be. For once in your life follow her plan for you and obey her." He finished his speech and I blinked.My body fighting with my brain and heart, one of the three wants dominance.My brain of course is the one I am sticking with for now.I n

Naya's pov ..."Beta Nathan please do something about this woman, she is an abomination in this kingdom.You can see what she is.”"And what exactly is she?" Nathan asked.His eyes cold as ever, his face formidable.I watched him standing beside Zaya, his aura slightly slipping out of him.His mate and my friend, Zaya was no longer looking like the girl who'd been working as a servant some days ago.She was dressed in designer jeans and an oversized tee. Must be her mates.I noticed the slight tilt at the edge of her lips, like they were sharing an inside joke." She -she is a witch with powers, that isn't allowed in the kingdom.We all know the law.She should be in the dungeons."The words were from another man. He was standing by one of Mel's two blonde haired minions.He had brown hair and brown eyes." I didn't train you, I will not do your jobs for you, so if you feel or think that she should be in the dungeons, then stop wasting my time and get her there."Nathan s
