Alana

I looked in the direction of the voice quickly and realized it was the Alpha king , we all went on one knees and bowed as the way to greet and pay respect to him.

“You may rise” he said then he walked up to me scanned me for what felt like eternity I was expecting him to throw me out or worst kill me when he spoke to one of the maids “ Escort her to my study room” I immediately followed because I wanted to leave their badly, so I won't give them the satisfaction of seeing me continually crying and breakdown

I didn't look back but I could feel someone staring at me with hatred , and it was coming from the direction both Damien and Verly were standing.

I became more baffled because I couldn't understand what I had done to either of them to deserve all this. I finally arrived at the study room and I was amazed once again, I wondered why it was called a study room since it looked more like an office .

It was extremely beautiful, after waiting for a while the king alpha, Damiens father, ended the ball and walked into the study with all his trusted subordinates , Damien, and his mother.

I knew he had a lot of questions so when he asked “ Can someone tell me what is going on here” I was about to answer when Veryl beat me to it “Your higness this lady spilled drink on my dress and hit me as well so Damien was just trying to get justice for me before you came in” I couldn't believe my ears how could she lie so fluently.

To my suprise the king shouted at her “ Shut up I wasn't talking to you and what are you even doing here guards please escort miss Veryl out” I could see he was obviously angry especially when Damien didn't allow the guards to come near Verly shielding her behind him he roared at him with rage “Son what is going on here” Damien didn't respond he raored again “Son I said what is going on here” he finally replied saying “Nothing Dad”

Seeinf as it was of know use talking to him the king turned his attention to me and asked “Miss?” “Alana, my name is Alana your highness I replied” “ Miss Alana you said you are my son's mate Is that true” he asked me .

I replied truthfully, “ Yes your highness” I went on to explain from when he came to the restaurant and till the incident in the ballroom and I could feel his face change with anger

I was afraid thinking he was angry at me but to my surprise he went up to Damien and slapped him “How could you do this seeing as you are t refuting anything she said I'm guessing she is your mate after all , so why? Son why did you try to reject her in front of the people for they matter, what kind of leader do you want them to think you will be in the future when you can't even make a simple decision,. Well I don't care about what you think I'm giving you one year to sort your feelings out you re old enough to make your own decisions , by the next annual ball you will accept her as you mate no questions asked understood”

Damien reluctantly nodded his head and I was wondering how that will work out if he had to travel a long mile to see me and get to know me which I doubt he would do when the king turned to me and said “seeing as you are the future Luna it is only right for you to stay in the palace where you rightfully belong I will personally send a message to Felicia telling her you are safe okay” . “ No problem your highness” I replied him he tuned to Damien and looked at him with a face full of disappointment before he stormed out after Instructing the maids on what to do

Which reminded me of what Felicia said because if Damien was always like this then I doubt the king would be that surprised and angry which got me thinking what could possibly make him hate me for no reason without getting to know me .

I had heard stories of how the king still very much believe in the old religion that the mate given to you by the Goddess was for a reason, and he wasn't really happy with pack members that reject their mates .

I was also escorted immediately to where I will be staying for the year, as I left the study I let out a heavy breath that I didn't even know I was holding in.

After showering and trying to sleep just to get my mind off things ,a maid knocked on my room I was called to come and have dinner in the dining room. I readily turned down the request.

As I couldn't imagine myself eating with the Alpha king and his family, even tho I was extremely hungry. I went to the kitchen and got something else to eat then I retired for the night

I couldn't fall asleep that night till almost dawn because the scene of Damien openly rejecting me kept playing in my head.I cried myself to sleep that night.

And I dreamt of what looked like the future of me and Damien with three children. And it looked so real I didn't even want to wake up from my sleep I was so happy and I kept hoping things would change the next day but little did I know that this was just the beginning of my nightmares .

In a flash the agreed one year passed and the annual ball was in few days time during the past year Damien made my life miserable and everyone knew about it but they couldn't do anything even the king turned a blind eye to it saying we were mate and we had to settle our differences ourselves

Verly also played a part in secret pretending to be in support of me and Damien trying to make me seem like the third party when its clearly the other way around

The one event that made me hate Damien and I stawrted planning how to escape happened about two month ,when Damien came into my room late at night drunk and forced himself on me , that was the last straw

I told Damiens best friend who was also one of the people who took care of me during my stay in the palace , about my escape plan he tried to convince me but I had already made up my mind and he later offered to help me.

It wasn't easy bit I finally escaped from that hellhole disguised as a palace, I arrived in the farthest city the city of “Tanon”away from the capital the last place anyone will ever think I will go to , I wrote a letter to Felicia telling her I'm okay and I will visit her when I feel safe I didn't let her know where I was so she won't be forced to tell Damien that's if he even cared that I left

I was just settling into my new job as a private accountant for the head of the city when I fainted one day will working I was rushed to the hospital and the doctors gave me the most shocking news ever “ congratulations miss Alana you are two months pregnant”
