Chapter 23
The pictures and news from the ongoing Royal party were circulated throughout the internet with the videos of Killian and I dancing becoming a sensation almost instantly.
And soon it was announced to the entire world that I was engaged to Killian and was going to marry him in a month, It blew into a hot topic for discussion.Xavier was sitting in the bar drowning himself in alcohol when some of the humans announced excitedly.
“The Princess is getting married to Alpha Killian. Have you seen their pictures yet?”
“When they look at each other it’s almost like you can feel the sexual tension between them! God, they were so
engrossed in one another that the world around them seemed to blur.”
“I have heard that the Archduke is cold

and ruthless, what stupid farce! He followed the princess around like a lost puppy, it was so cute!”
Xavier kept listening with his fingers curling tightly around the glass of alcohol. He quickly unlocked this phone to see what was going on and logged into his social. media account to play the latest videos- The screen instantly filled with beautiful women and graceful men but despite that in Xavier‘ s eyes I stood radiant in an exquisite white gown, my every movement graceful and commanding.
Xavier was reminded of my simple.

told me that it was my fortune being an orphan that I could wear such expensive. clothing.
“To think I was such a fool to treat her like
this.”
Beside me stood Killian with his muscular. arm around my waist as he gently guided

me through the people. All this time being scared of the crowd, I for once enjoyed the party feeling safe in Killian’s arms.
The camera focused on to us and Xavier‘ s grip on his glass tightened as he watched Killian lean in to whisper something in my
ear.
“You are doing absolutely great, just tell me when you are tired and I will take you away.” moved by the kind gesture I smiled at my fiance only for Killian to continue gazing at me like he could not remove his
gaze.
My longing eyes and Killian’s intense hold on me made Xavier’s chest ache, it was definitely the look of two people deeply in love. It made hatred blossom into his heart.
“How the fuck can she move on so easily?!”
“Alpha you have drunk a lot, we should go home.” a voice interrupted Xavier as he turned to see his newly appointed Beta

Alan.
“Why the hell is she with him?” Xavier growled, ignoring the comment.
“Ofcourse the princess will chose Alpha Killian, they have a history together.”
“History?”
“You didn’t know? They grew up together. Killian used to visit the palace when they were kids. Apparently, he was her first love.”
Alan who knew little about my history with Xavier, answered honestly, continuing to elaborate “Rumor has it that the royal council arranged the marriage but that is not the truth.”
“What… What do you mean?”
“Well my elder brother used to work in the palace and he told me that years ago Princess Mia had first met Archduke
Killian when he came to live in the Royal Palace because his pack in the North was

blamed for planning a conspiracy against the king and the young Archduke went to the palace to deny their partition in any such conspiracy.
Soon Sir Killian and the princess became friends but when the time came to send
back the Archduke, the Princess followed him back to the north because she loved
him so much that they were inseparable.
The royal family was extremely worried
that the Northern Pack would take
advantage of the young princess but she was sent back with honour. It is just that when she arrived back to the palace she did not eat anything for days to come, locking herself inside her chamber and there was a whisper among maids that Sir Killian rejected her love.”
Xavier unconsciously smiled when he heard that I was not accepted by Killian, for I only belong to him, even if I was miserable, I should stay miserable with
him.

He did not wish to see me happy with anyone else.
“That’s not true. All these years sir Killian has never taken a bride, never even taken a interest in another female. Anyone can see from these videos that he is obsessed with princess Mia.”
The words hit Xavier like a punch to the gut.
In the middle of the banquet, I again for the nth time received a call from Xavier. I tried to block him numerous times after hanging up continuously, only for him to call me again.
“I am busy, what do you want now?”
“You are busy doing what? Seducing another man?!
Why is there a man with you Mia? And to think it is Archduke Killian! Have you forgotten that you are still my wife fucking damnit! You were the mother of my child!

“A child whom you killed.” Xavier went silent before trying to coax me.
“Then we can have another child Mia.”
I chuckled feeling as if I had never really understood Xavier at all.
“Did my child even mattered to you? While I was pregnant your mother still made me do all the housework and you never cared.”
“Mia please! That’s all in the past, I am so sorry Mia. I will declare her a rogue for you Mia! The woman who made you suffer, I will throw her out of this pack!”
“She is dead for me Xavier, your mother matters to me less than a criminal does, nothing will bring me back by your side, I already have a fiance.”
In all the years I’d known him, I’d never heard Xavier lose his cool like this. He shouted, angry and desperate, “You hated Vanessa when she used to stick to my side, and now you are playing house with another man, just accept it Mia, we are not

You are using that man to make me jealous, aren’t you? I have understood my mistake, you must come back now! Enough with your games.”
“It’s too late,” I said, cutting him off. My voice remained calm, unshaken.
“I don‘ t love you anymore.
“You cannot do that to me! Remember how I saved you from the rogues all those years ago-” at that moment the phone was taken away from my hand as Killian questioned icily.
“Did you? Did you really save Mia you imposter! Or is everything that you have built up till now is based on a lie?”
