Koko's POV"And they all lived happily ever after.." I kissed my little baby to sleep after telling her a wonderful bedtime story, her eyes were closed with a smile. I walked over to her father who was standing at the door."Isn't it crazy to imagine that one day she will be too big for bedtime stories?"He was always worried for Aurora's future, and so was I. On the day Aurora was born, there was this pit in my stomach, and I was overjoyed that I had finally seen my beautiful baby. But there was still something that trouble me and pulled at my heart, making me unable to be truly happy. Initially I thought it was because I was worried about the gender preference that existed in the Palace. But even after the heart warming conversation between my mate and I at the hospital, I was still very troubled, even though the weight had been lightened on my neck.The day my fear was confirmed was the day the party was held for Aurora to present her to the world as the princess and next alpha
Koko's POVAs I was walking down the hallway, I let out a broad smile when I saw my saving Grace's grandson coming towards us."Greetings my alpha, greetings my Luna." He smiled."I can perceive that you're happy today my Luna." He said."Who won't be happy to see their child celebrating another year in the land of the living?"I never thought this day would come, I never thought in my wildest imagination that I would have a mate, how much more a child that will celebrate five years. It was worth everything we'd do today to celebrate her."Congratulations Luna..""Thank you, what about your grandma.. have you been able to convince her yet?"After saving my mate and I the anxiety that came with the evil prophecy the wicked old woman came with, we had offered my three times saviour a place to stay in the palace on several occasions, but she kept turning them down.I even went as far as explaining to her that I didn't forget her after I got to the palace, it was just that unfortunate thi
"Die! Die! Die!"My mother screamed, her grip in my neck tightening as she did so. The right side of my face kissed the dirty ground, as hot and painful tears rolled down my cheeks. My mother's tears dropped on my face as she screamed. I could feel the agony emitting from her tears. But I was no better as I struggled under her tight grip.I cried and begged for air, whimpering in pain. I wanted to scream, but I could not. She held my throat so tight, my vocal cords became useless. I was slowly becoming dizzy, my tears blurring the vision of our burning house. "Please." I muttered barely audible and the pains that shot through me began to weigh me down. That was the only word I could think of, the only word that could come out of my mouth. But that word was not directed to my mother.But it was a plea to the only person that gave me solace. My father.I was begging my father to come out of the fire and save me from my mother."You cursed child! I always knew that you were a baggage
Koko's POVIt's been years since that incident that led to my father's death. Just as it was one of my saddest days in life, it was also a day I started to build my hope. I held on to the words of the young savior to my heart.I believed that someday I would meet my mate who would cherish me and see the beauty in me.Sadly, as I grew up, I got to realized a painful truth at a tender age - my mother didn't love me, she hated me. I was the child she didn't want. "Dark eyed curse!" She always called me.Donna, my mother, never hesitated to show me how much she hated me. While my twin sister, Hanola, was allowed to play with the other pups in the pack, my mother always locked me in the basement."I don't want you to inflict your curse on other children." She always said. I knew I was different from all the other people in my pack. That's because of everything about me. It seemed like the Moon goddess surely was against my existence. If not I wouldn't be given all the negativity of life.
Once again, the moon goddess had to play a trick on me. Life raised my hopes, only to send it to the ground to fall and shatter into pieces. If only I hadn't hoped for anything.It so happened that on that fateful day, when I turned sixteen alongside my sister and many of our peers, we all eagerly waited for our wolves. We were filled with anticipation of the lycanthropy ceremony. Everyone was in high hopes, including me. In the Red Moon pack, we shifted at the age of sixteen and mostly found our mates by the time we were eighteen. So you can imagine how joyous I was at the upcoming ceremony.But cruel as it may seem, on that night of the ceremony, I watched my sister and all our other peers shift to their wolves under the blood red full moon at midnight. I waited for my wolf… I waited in shame.My wolf never came. It was a gut-wrenching experience for me, I walked back home with my head bowed and cried all the way home. What have I done to be ill-fated?As expected, Donna was at th
Koko's POVAfter that night, I stayed clear of Gad. The hatred and hidden threat I felt in his aura was enough to shake my supposed courage. My hope shattered once again. But then, I could understand why he didn't want me. I mean, how can a guy like him want a girl like me? I was afterall an ugly, weak and cursed girl who was obviously hated by her family. And supposedly caused the death of her father. Gad was the hottest and most eligible bachelor in all of the Red Moon pack. He was loved by every female wolf in and out of the Pack. Even the neighbouring packs with eligible female wolves drooled over him. The most beautiful of them, all lined up at his feet. Even the female alphas fight to get his attention. That's how hot he was. Even my sister who still remained the golden girl of the pack, was dying to be with him. There was no way he could agree to settle for a female like me; the laughing stock of the pack and the known cursed girl. I went about my duties quietly and calmly, wit
Koko's POVI felt a burning sensation on my cheek. The impact got me falling to the ground as I spat out blood. How could I be so dumb to think that I could go against my sister? I had never won over her. I have been beaten, gagged and trampled on just to satisfy her. What made me think this would be different? How on earth do I think that Gad would accept my being mate with him? He did warn me, but I thought he was just bidding his time. Wishful thinking, right? That had always been me. "Fucking cunt, didn't you hear what she said?" Gad roared at me. He didn't even flinch when he saw me on the floor, neither did he felt remorseful for hitting my. I felt abandoned and… hurt, but for fear of another slap, I lowered my eyes and bit my lips from quivering. I had no choice but to obey, if that would stop everything. How wrong I was. I was totally and freaking wrong. Who said being obedient would take me out of trouble? I have trouble as my second, no, first name. It follows me everywhere.
