Malia’s POVMany told Ania that the words of the seer were lies, but blinded by love and fear for her mate. She gave in to the words of the seer. Unfortunately, death met her and her lover on their way from the pack. They were attacked by a pack of wandering wolves who called themselves the Unborn.Ania's story is still very much talked about to date In the pack, although it was said in hush tones because the tale was considered a bad omen. My mom told me her soul still longs for children’s blood now. Any time I remember her words I laugh because I believe the tales were told to scare children.The reality before now tells me more than I thought existed. My story was already similar to hers but without an end yet. I kept trying to wave off the thought from my head but the more I tried the more it fisted on my wit.“Was this the end game ?” I thought quietly.No, I am Melia. I am not Ania and I won’t die in this wood like any wolf would. All this was what I kept repeating in my head th

MALIA’S POVWordlessly, I followed behind the two guards who conversed hushly among themselves as we moved. I wasn't eavesdropping but I picked up something about a ceremony that will be happening in the coming week or so, I couldn't catch much, their voices were too low.Needless to say, we arrived in front of the door which they deemed suitable to be my room and one of them brought out a ton of keys from his pocket and picked out a particular one to unlock the door. “Here, you have the room” He pointed towards the room while keeping the door wide ajar. I nodded thankfully at him and walked in. Dust greeted me before any other thing and I instinctively stepped back.“Apologies for that, the room hasn't been put to use for ages but I will get the maids right away to help you with cleaning. Everything will be carried out immediately. Do feel at home” He stated and bowed curtly before the two walked away.I didn't have to wait for long before the maids arrived. Emphasize the “s” behin

MALIA’S POVMy gaze trailed after him as he stepped out of the door. I didn’t even know what to think of the situation. We were just in the middle of conversing and he just got up and stepped out of the room. Just like that? Was I perhaps missing out on something or this was just a usual way of ending a conversation around here? Zade is pretty much popular so it wasn't a big deal that he recognized him but then that didn't make for a reason for him to just step out of the room with no explanation.My gaze focused on the now closed door as my thoughts rummaged through all the possible reasons that made him leave mid-conversation but nothing I came up with was valid enough. Whatever it was, the least he could do was to give me a headstart. A simple “excuse me” would have saved me from all these thoughts.I tucked my hair behind my ear and stood up from the chair. The window facing this side of the room had a different scene from the other. While the first was showcasing the whole pa

MALIA’S POVFor the rest of the time I was in the kitchen, my whole mood was down after the thought of Zade had passed through my head. I didn't even get to finish the meal before my instinct forced me to get up and leave the kitchen. I just wanted to be alone all of a sudden.“Oh gracious, you haven't even finished the meal just yet” Mary exclaimed with a displeased tone as I gently slid out of the stool. “I am full to the throat and I need some air” I had to force myself to not let my current mood betray the lightness I have imputed in my words.“If you say so then. I hope I will be seeing a lot of you around here” Her smile was so contagious that I had to smile too when I looked up at her.“Oh sure you will. I have rummaged around this part of the palace and so far this is my favorite place so of course you should be expecting me every other minute of the day” I assured.“Alright, till then” she waved with a chopping knife in her hand as I strode out of the kitchen. Immediately af

MALIA'S POV"Here, cover up" He tossed the piece of clothing that I had laid out on the bed toward me. I did not attempt to catch it and it fell right next to my feet. My gaze veered from him to the dress and I kneeled and gathered it into my hand before ambling back into the bathroom.With so many questions in my head as to what had brought him here all of a sudden after he left in the most bizarre way possible. As much as I wanted to drag my stay in the bathroom, it came to an abrupt end when a firm knock sounded on the door."Can you come out? I do not have all the time in the world?" Well, neither do I. I would have preferred to just stare at myself in the mirror the whole time than face him right now. I just didn't have a good feeling about him.But I strolled out of the bathroom nevertheless, my head facing the well-polished floor the whole time. I only raised my head to inspect if he was still on the bed and when I saw that he wasn't there, I proceeded to skim around the entir
