Moon POV
Amidst the chaos that has been going on in the palace, I still make out time to study, not because I want to, but because I want to impress Liam. I’m really angry that I haven’t been able to go to school, but not withstanding, I’ll try and go this Monday.
Letting out a sigh, I picked my phone, and scrolled through the contacts, till I got to his number, and I couldn’t help, but smile, before hitting the dial button. I waited patiently for him to pick up, but got no reply.
I sighed frustratingly, as I threw my phone on the bed, and laid down, facing the ceiling, while I hugged my pillow to myself, as some many questions, came conflicting on my mind. Is he okay? Could it be that he’s with another woman? Just the thought of that, drives me crazy. I know I’m being dramatic here, I know we don’t have a thing, but I can’t help the feelings I have for him.
My mind darted to the moron, alpha Jack, and I couldn’t stopped myself from letting out a scoff. I mean, what the heck! He better be joking, coz I won’t take that shit. Why would moon goddess do something like that? Pair me with that jerk. Not that I believe him though.
Slowly, I drifted into sleep…
Kai POV
I kept pacing back and forth in the garden restlessly. I know I shouldn’t be worried about her, I know it’s what has been destined to happen, but can I really help it? Each day I watch her being tortured, I always feel my heart, tighten in pains and anger, and I wish I could do something about it, but too bad I can’t.
My name is Kai Hughes. I’m lady Lia’s most trusted servant, and one of the strong men. She assigned me to look after Octavia, since the first day she was going out. I disguised as her friend. I don’t know why she is doing that, but I know she has a good reason of doing that. She already told me so much about her, including the fact that she’s been indoor for her whole twenty years of existence, I can imagine the boredom.
I wish I can protect her, I wish there’s something I can do about this, but I think I should stay out of it, since it has something to do with the alpha, I know he won’t spare neither me nor her, if I try getting her out of there, he’ll punish the both of us. I just pray she will be able to hang in there for some time.
“Kai!” I heard a familiar feminine voice behind me, and turning around, I was welcomed with the most beautiful woman I ever set my eyes on, Kelly, my very own beautiful mate.
“Kelly!” I smiled excitedly, as I hugged her. If there’s anything I’m grateful to moon goddess for, it is blessing me with such an amazing and loving mate. I’ve always loved her, even before I found out she was my mate, she was the only woman that ever caught my attention here. We’ve been mated for a few months now, and she’s carrying our pup in her womb now.
“What’s with my mate?” She smiled, as she wrapped her arms around my neck, and pecked my lips.
“Nothing, was just thinking about something, but you don’t have to worry yourself, it’s nothing to worry about. So tell me, how’s our baby doing?” I smiled, as I rubbed her stomach tenderly, while she closed her eyes and chuckled.
“She’s doing fine.” She smirked.
I frowned deeply, as I glared at her. She sure knows how to bully me, and that’s why I love her alot.
“Ok fine, he’s doing fine.” She chuckled.
I chuckled, as I pinched her cheeks, before pecking her lips.
“Have you got something to eat?” I asked, as I held her hand, and started leading her to the house. She can’t stay outside for so long, I’m worried she might get cold. I know you may be thinking that I’m being dramatic, but I don’t care though, I need to protect my woman….
Astrid POV
Pacing back and forth in the garden, with so many things, running through my mind. As much as I tried getting my mind off him, I just couldn’t help, but think of him. The thought of how he asked me out of his room, breaks my heart into pieces. I know this day was going to come one day, I know sooner or later, it was still going to come, but I thought I could change it, I thought I could change his mind and make him love me before then, but it seems luck is not always on my side.
The sound of the footsteps behind me, make me halt, and I sighed angrily, as his scent filled my nose. My damn mate is here, I can always recognize his scent, even amidst a million scents. Ok what is he doing here? This is bad timing, and if he doesn’t wanna see the other side of me, he better leave while I’m still calmed now.
“What do you want Dante?” I asked, not turning to look at him.
“Astrid… why are you doing this to me?” His hurting voice came on.
I scoffed angrily, before turning to face him. How dare he to question me, huh? How dare he asks me that stupid question?
“Dante, I’m in no mood for such shit now, if you would please, leave.” I said in between gritted teeth, as I glared daggers at him.
“Astrid you know what you’re doing isn’t right, yeah?” He asked, as tears welled up his eyes.
This is why I hate him with so much passion, he’s weak, and I can’t imagine myself, accepting someone as weak as him, to be my mate. When moon goddess wanted to pair me with another person aside Khalid, why does it have to be this weak thing?
“Who are you to question my decision?” I thundered angrily.
“I told you Dante, I don’t like you, I don’t give a damn about you, I don’t know how you’re gonna do it, but stay away from me. I reject you, I can’t accept you as my mate!” I yelled at him, before turning around to leave, but his words brought me to an abrupt halt.
“I hope it won’t be too late to come back, when the alpha finally finds his mate and dump you.” He yelled angrily….
