Chapter 64
Alpha Bale’s POV
Hunger had almost eaten up every part of me, and I couldn’t even feel myself any more before the woman I married decided it was time for me to eat. Even after starving me, she used her hand to bring out the portion of food I would eat.
It was little–not enough for the long time I had been hungry–but does she care? No. I was even afraid to complain before she denied me eating at all. It didn’t take me a minute to finish the small portion of rice, and I used water to fill my stomach.
I was like a slave in my father’s land, or even something lesser, because even slaves have a little right left, unlike me, who lives under her whimp in everything.
“Go to the visitor’s room and stay. The demon king is visiting, and I have another visitor. I don’t want to see your face around.” That was what she told me after I was done eating, and without hesitation, I did as she said, even walking at a fast pace like a child afraid to be flogged by the mother.
I have no idea who the visitor was, and she doesn’t care. The wedding I did with her was a bullshit because she isn’t my wife. at all. She has never been and will never be. My only regret is my daughter. I miss her so much, and she is just the reason I am still staying alive because, aside from her, I have no meaning on this earth.
I entered the room and laid on the bed, allowing the past to flood into my head and torture the daylight out of me. Every mistake and bad decision I had taken in life because I was blinded by infatuation.
Tears formed in my eyes, running down my cheeks as my heart grew heavy, sadness exposing itself inside of me. The scene of my happy family with my first mate and daughter Selene was playing like a scene, clear in my head.
How did I fall into Diana’s trap to the extent of banishing my daughter, not minding that she would be killed?
I was drowning in thought, hitting the bed with a punch continuously every time I remember that one time I acted so stupid. and senseless. The frustration was just overwhelming and unbearable for me. I badly wanted a second chance -a new beginning to be a good father, ruler, and leader.
A knock sounded on the door, and I rose quickly to open the door, thinking it was Diana. I won’t dare keep her standing at the door for a minute after she knocks, or she will beat me. It is normal and usual for her at this point to hit me like a punch bag.
If being worthless were a human, that is me. Even my wolf had sunk into the deepest part of me, dumb and hopeless. Diana made sure I lost all my power.
I got to the door and pushed it open. I was faced with a maid. She looked left and right as if to be sure no one was watching before she handed an envelope to me.

“What is that, and from whom?” I asked, my brows knitting together as I squinted at the envelope without taking it from her.
Her eyes darted left and right again before drifting back to me.
“Sir, please let me enter before I am seen. I don’t want anyone to catch me talking to you, especially Diana. I had been stalking you for many days, waiting for the day to be able to give you this. Luckily, I eavesdropped when she was telling you to stay in this room.”
I didn’t wait any seconds before letting hier in and locking the door behind…
“This letter is from someone, but the message is from your daughter.” She spilled, and it was like a rain of cold water poured down on me, with shivers running down my spine and sending goosebumps all over my skin
“My daughter, you mean Selene? She sent me a letter Tears brimmed in my eyes as I took it quickly from her and tore out the envelope.
“Oh my God…” I fell to my knees, placing the letter on my chest after reading it all. The tears in my eyes wouldn’t flowing down as I felt every word she wrote, hearing them in my ears like she was talking to me face–to–face in that room.

Chapter 64
Selene hadn’t abandoned me like I thought. She doesn’t hate me like I thought she did, and it seems she has pushed the past away and is also looking for a way to make things right between us.
In the letter, she called me Daddy; she referred to me as her father, and the feeling was amazing. I realized at that moment how much I had missed my life, my daughter, everything about her. I missed her smile, voice, and cheesiness.
Gawd, why did I do all that to her?
“I will have to leave now before someone catches me here. The maids said that at that moment, making me look up at her.
“How will I send her a response? What way can I meet my daughter? Please help me out. I badly need to talk to her.”
She shook her head with a deep sigh.
“There is absolutely no way. I don’t even think she is out of the Lycan kingdom. I’m confused as to why she hadn’t come to rescue us too, but I believe the time is close, and this letter is just to reassure you to stay strong.
“Tell me who brought this letter. I can get to speak with my daughter through her.”
“I don’t know her, and she didn’t introduce herself to me… I have to go now.” She said that and walked away immediately.
I held the letter to my chest, treasuring every bit of it
It was like a fresh breath of life had returned to me. Just the thought that my daughter doesn’t hold any grudges against me anymore made me so happy. Like, after all the wrong I did to her, she still has a place in her heart to forgive me.
Nina’s POV
I watched him as he leaped in excitement, hearing that I had delivered all the letters, especially the one meant for his sister.
He hugged me tight and me deeply, tears brimming in his eyes.
“Thank you so much, my love. You are a blessing in my life. Now, she won’t have to worry and won’t kill herself if she has it in mind. She will stay strong and wait for me, knowing I didn’t abandon her.” He me again and again.
“You’re turning me on with these .” I teased, and he laughed.
“You already turned me on with this good news. You have no idea how happy I am to hear this. It means a lot to me.” He carried me in his arms like a baby, and I could only blush really hard, giggling uncontrollably.
“And I have another message for you.” I added, and he carefully brought me down. “Let me hear it, my love.”
“Very soon you will get a job in the palace. I have used my connection to send messages to the guards and workers there. If there is any vacancy, I will be informed, so if it is something you can do, you will be employed immediately.”
He held me by the waist and pulled me close.
“I love you. Nina, my heart beats for you, and I promise I will never leave you. Thank you for everything. The sacrifice is beyond what I thought you could do for me. I’m overwhelmed.” He poured out his heart, every word exuding pure passion and love that I could feel.
Shifting my strayed hair behind my ears he planted another on my forehead, then my nose and my lips.
“I will do anything for you.” I said it lowly with a beam on my face. He nodded.
“I know, I believe you. I once doubted if you could stay with me–if you would be able to face whatever attack for being my love–but now I am fully convinced. I didn’t really believe in love, but you had told me for real everything about it, and I promise to make you the happiest woman on earth with everything I got.”
My cheeks must be like tomatoes now. I am sure. His words were so sweet that they made my heart skip a beat and butterflies dance all over my stomach.

Chapter 64
My lips widened into a grin that refused to seize even for a single minute. Hearing him say all these to me was like a balm to my heart, giving me life that seemed to be dead inside me.
“I am blushing. “My voice hitched as my phone rang at that moment.
We both darted out our eyes in the direction of the phone, and I instantly recognized the number. My mouth went agape as excitement lit up in my eyes.
This is one of the guards in the royal packhouse. One thing could be the reason for the call.
Iquickly picked it up.
“Yes?”
“A job just came up. It’s urgent and needs to have a replacement real fast because it’s from Luna, and you know she can’t exercise any kind of patience.” The voice came from the other end.
So, what’s the job?” I asked with a sharp breath. The joy bubbling inside me was making it hard for me to talk.
“Is the person you want to give a job to your friend? If he or she is, I don’t think this would be a good one for the person. because it’s more like a risk.”
“Tell me!”.
“The Luna wants a personal guard for the Lycan girl she has been keeping captive. I don’t know what ever transpired, but she suddenly released her and is treating her well. I am sure there is a secret plan. She fired the first one because he seemed to be falling for the Lycan girl. Why I say it’s a risky job is because Diana wants the person to give her information about the girl.”
He was explaining on the phone while Stan was already on his knees, thanking God with a huge smile on his face.
We both knew who the Lycan girl was already. This was the miracle we prayed for. We were actually hoping just to get a job in the pack house, but now, not only did the job come, it also came in the best way.
Stan will be close to his sister as a guard. What more do we ask for? What is better than this? With his masked face, both of them can make plans on how to escape so easily.
“See, I will be sending him over right now. Give him the job. That’s the job he is very good at. Do you hear?” I said on the phone and got a positive response at the other end before I hung up the call.
Immediately after I dropped the phone, he carried me up in a bridal style, dancing like we were married couples having their wedding dance.
