Mag-log inCHAPTER 45 KAIREN’S POV Could this be it? I looked at the necklace, stared at the broken clasp. The clasp was broken alright, and it was fixable… it just didn't look like something that would have broken accidentally. If it were, this wouldn't be the first time it would get repaired in centuries. It looked more like something someone broke apart on purpose. Even that was more confusing. This heirloom was indestructible. It was forged from blood, and magic and spells and of course jewels. It couldn't have broken off that easily…or had the magic worn out over the centuries? Was that it? I glanced at Merilyn, her hand wrapped around her pillow, eyes closed and chest rising and falling with each breath as she slept. Absent-mindedly, I placed the broken necklace on the nightstand and brushed my knuckles over her face. A content sigh escaped her lips and she went right back to sleep. She must have realized just how important this jewelry was. If not, she wouldn't have worri
THIRD PERSON’S POVBy the time they returned to the pack, Merilyn was barely holding it together.She'd bolted out of the car, hurriedly making her way towards the entrance of the castle. The plan was to lock herself up in her bedroom before anyone even realized she had returned. But fate clearly had other plans as the sound of Kairen’s voice drifted in the air. She tensed, clutched her purse tighter against her chest and raced up the stairs. Fortunately, by the time he appeared, she'd disappeared round the corner and he hadn't seen her.“Do you think we should start the construction now? Wouldn't it affect the other activities of the factory?” Valios asked as he and Kairen looked over the blueprint of the building plan in his hands. “No, it shouldn't interfere with it. It's better if we start it now and…” Kairen trailed off as he looked up.His brows furrowed as he stared at the car that took Merilyn to the ball. He glanced at his watch and realized barely two hours had passed.
MERILYN My shocked gaze fell on the necklace. How could this be the necklace? Of course it wasn't. That lady was just confused. But looking up and seeing the way everyone eyed me warily, she clearly wasn't. “You haven't answered me.” Penelope pointed her fingers at my neck, “Why do you have it on?!” This has to be some kind of mistake. Raskia’s Necklace wasn't just any family heirloom. It was a symbol of power passed down from generations to generation, it belonged only to the Luna of Lunas. Kairen couldn't have given it to me. It had to be a mistake. “I don't owe you any explanation.” I said, trying to keep my voice from trembling. Another Luna scoffed, “You either tell us where you got it or you get arrested for theft?” I frowned, but before I could talk the Luna who saw the necklace spoke out, “What if it's her?” She said cautiously. Murmurs filled the air and I even saw Penelope go pale for a second before getting her colour back. “It's not impossible
MERILYN Althrough the night, I kept thinking of what Lyn said. I barely got a wink of sleep until very early this morning. Maybe I shouldn't have told them about the King and I. It wasn't like he was professing his undying love for me. It was just the usual rumpling in the sheets. Keep telling yourself that. I sighed. “My Lady, you're all done.” Gwen said, as she made one final swipe of gloss on my lips and stepped away. My eyes opened, taking in my reflection in the mirror and for a second, I couldn't believe my eyes. I pressed the tip of my fingers against my cheek and leaned in, “Wow,” “You like it, right?” “Like? I love it.” I grinned. “I look so beautiful.” “Meh,” Gwen shrugged, “I didn't do much. My lady already looks beautiful from the start.” I smiled and stood up, walking up to the full length mirror in my room before twirling in front of it, “You really should give yourself some credit.” My heels clicked against the floor as I came to a stop,
MERILYN“That vile witch! I can't believe she was behind all this.” Gwen scowled as we got into the car. “She not only bought all the nice dresses, she even made it harder to check out as well.” I exhaled, leaning against the chair, my eyes closing. “My lady, you shouldn't have stopped me. You should have let me deal with her.” “And get you in trouble, not a chance.” I replied. Gwen had a bad temper, one she had issues putting in check. If she'd gone against Lorelei, we never would have heard the end of it. “But she was very disrespectful to you, right Caigar?” Caigar who just got in, looked at us through the rearview mirror and nodded. “Lady Merilyn is right too. She wouldn't have let it go. You'd have been outshined and our Lady would feel bad about it.” Gwen huffed, “Alpha should never have been engaged to that brat. I honestly don't understand what he sees in her. It's not like she was ever useful either.” I placed my hand in her thigh without looking, “It's okay. Ignore he
MERILYN “My Lady,” Caigar bowed as Gwen and I walked past him. “Is it necessary for him to come with us?” I asked Gwen. “Wouldn't he be uncomfortable?” “Caigar is your bodyguard, My lady. So yes, it is necessary.” “We’re just going shopping Gwen. What's the worse that could happen? It's not like anyone is waiting to kidnap me. The world doesn't even know I exist.” Gwen shrugged, “That's what you think but the King has gained enemies large enough to form a nation, we’re not about to take any chances.” Caigar pulled open the car door, shutting it once Gwen and I were safely inside before walking around to the front passenger seat. “I'm guessing you have the best shops lined up for me.” I smiled and Gwen grinned. I'd noticed that a happy side of her always appeared whenever things like shopping was brought up. Judging from how fashionable she was and always turning up with pretty clothes, shopping was definitely her favourite hobby. “Of course I do. We don't have to stick to one
MERILYNThink carefully. Or I might kill you if I don’t like your answer.I jerked awake with a scream. My eyes darted around searching for the threat, looking for the three-headed monster that had hovered over me, threatening to kill me. My stomach churned, cramps squeezing the life out of my or
MERILYNI silently followed the men as they led me away from the airport into one of their very luxurious cars. “Please,” the man gestured, and I got in. Fear oozed from me like an open dam. My hands clutched my bag tightly, and my eyes kept darting to the man seated next to me. How on earth had
MERILYNNever in my thirty years of living did I think I’d ever have a one-night stand, and not just that, I’d woken up to him still stuck inside of me. My legs quivered as a familiar rush of sensation coursed through me at the memory. The feeling of him filling me up, his tip nudging at a part i
KAIREN“Wh-where are you taking me?…” She drawled as her jelly legs made their way across the pavement. She reeked of alcohol and something sweet. Her scent has grown stronger in the last couple of minutes. “Ohhh, are we going to get laid?” she giggled, limply leaning on me as I held her up. “W
