Chapter 12
SARALUS POV
I had thought life hurts, but death hurts even worse. How could I feel pain even when I am dead! When I was drowning. I knew I couldn’t save myself, so 1 yeared to die fast and put an end to the misery. Now I wonder if I am really dead. If I still can feel this excruciating pain, then death is not the peaceful sleep people think it is.
“The Angel Prince just doubled the reward: We are fucking rich!” I hear a male voice scream in exhilaration.
What! The devil is selling me back to the Angel Prince now!! No, that’s ridiculous. Surely that Angel must be done hunting me. If I am the one he is offering a reward for, he needs to get his head checked.
“Doubled“! Mighty Lord who keeps blessing us, I praise your name! A female voice exclaims, she too sounds exhilarated.
“We need to find a way to get her to him right away! He is likely to kill us instead if we take her dead.” The male voice announces.
public execution? Very funny! I am No fuck! I am not dead! And despite my condition, someone is speaking of selling me to the Angel Prince! For a p not afraid of death anymore. I am going to die anyway. What does it matter if I die of my injuries or by a hangman’s rope? I am certain that if the reaper is real, he is on his way to collecting my soul. If the Angel Prince wants me so he can kill me in front of his love, his Irene, he may be disappointed to find me dead already. But if I am not, I know there me be more torment before I am hanged.
“Mom! Will you buy me the toy gun if we get
et the reward?” A child’s voice asks excitedly.
too want a toy!” Another child screams.
“Can’t the Angel Prince build us a good home in his kingdom instead!” Another voice asks, it’s deep but not of an adult man, perhaps a teenage boy.
“What’s wrong with you! That money can buy us a lot more than that!” The male, mature voice argues.
“Don’t yell at Mike, he is the one that found her, remember? The female voice mutters. “Besides, Mike is right. We should ask the Prince to accept us in his kingdom, I am sure he will still give us the money
“Mommie! I don’t think the Prince will be happy to see her with so many scars.” The child’s voice utters.
I have so many scars!!
y scars! I can feel the pain, yes, but that kid must be exaggerating. Surely I can’t I look too ugly to kill.
I try to crack my eyes open. Only the right opens while a sharp pain grips the left one. I groan and realise my throat hurts too
“She woke up! She’s awake” The woman’s voice shricks
“Find Edward, hurry!” The man commands.
With my one eye open, I see figures rushing to me. They are two little girls, a woman and a man. They surround me, the kids stares with sad eyes.
Just lay still, Dear, the doctor will be hear soon!” The woman urges rubbing my right arm, in hurt so bad that I scream,
What did you do?! Edward said that hand is broken!” The man snaps.
“Sorry, I forgot” The woman apologizes. She takes a blanket and covers the rest of my body except my head. I am laying on a floor. There is a pillow under my head too. They were taking care of me? What for? So they can sell me back to the Angel Prince?
“Where….am 12” I manage to ignore the pain shooting from my throat and ask.

“You’re at our home. Our son fished you out of the river about a week ago. We didn’t know who you are, but we took care of you.” The woman explains.
“Who are you!”
“My name is June, these are my twin daughters. Tina and Gina.” She points at the identical twins who happily smile.
“People call me “Ti, you can call me that too” One on the left speaks. That’s Daddy Davey! She points at
“We are honored to have you here. My Lady! The man says in heavy sarcasm.

I am the wanted culprit they want to sell back to the Angel Prince, and he sarcastically says they are honoured to have me. Judging from the manner they were talking, the Prince is offering quite a fortune, they must be honoured to have me, indeed. But I would rather die of my injuries than face the Angel Prince again. Than be locked in those palace cells while I wait for my head to be cut in front of a cheering crowd of pack members

Chapter 12
“Please_slon’t sell me don’t sell n
me back to that monster! 1 force the words out despite the burning in my throat and pain in my chest.
“We are not selling you, the Prince and the King are offerings rewards for those who find your The man supplies with a smile
What’s the difference between pay and a reward? 1 know they want the money, but can’t they see I have been punished enough for things I have
“I didn’t do what the Prince says I did. Her Majesty lied. If you sell me back to the Prince and I get executed, you-”
June cuts me short. “Get executed” But Princess, the Angel Prince already knows you didn’t attack your sister. He wants you back because you’re his mate, the future Queen!”
Can’t they stop being sarcastich! I am hurting too mich and they are only making fun of me.
“Your sister shifted into a werewolf on her nineteenth birthday, right in front of everyone at the party. She and her friends got locked up cells. The man says
the Pack
That shocks me. My sister is now a prisoner! Because she kept in a secret that she was a werewolf? What was she thinking to shift in front of people! If Irene is no longer the Prince’s mate, why is still looking for me? It can’t be to apologize. No one would offer a reward for that. Whatever he wants to do with me, it can’t be good.
“Where
are we?” Lask.
“In the outskirts of Angels Kingdom. My family and I are rogues, we got expelled from Black Wolves Pack a long time ago.” Davey answers. “But since my son saved you from that river and we have been taking care of you, we believe the Angel Prince will allow us to join his kingdom and give us a better place to live.”
“We were planning on sending our son to the palace to inform the Prince that we have you. But since you’re now awake, maybe we can all set off tomorrow so he can see for himself that it’s indeed you.” June adds.
Set off on
a journey to that monster’s palace! June and Davey are interested in the rewards, but what am I interested in? Death? I already have that, because its a matter of minutes or hours before the reaper picks my soul
“I ain’t returning to the Angels Kingdom. I will be dead in a few hours, you can call the Angel Prince to collect my body. I am sure he will still be pleased enough to give you all you want.” I say
“But the Prince wants you alive! He will be sad if you die! Gina says, her sister nods her small head in agreement.
“If you don’t go back in five days, your sister and her friends will be executed! That’s what the Angel Prince ordered” Davey says and my hearthrobs.
“Trene is waiting for execution?!”
“Yes. But her head may be spared if the Prince finds you, alive” Davey answers.
I don’t think I can make it to the palace if we are outside the kingdom. I will die and my sister will be executed! A middle aged man enters the room. he is escorted by a tall, teenage boy. Guess that’s the son that saved me from the river.
“She woke up. I think she is in pain, you need to check her.” June sells the man.
“This is my brother. Edward. He used to be a doctor in Black Wolves Pack. He has been treating you.” Davey supplies.
Edward steps forward. He squats so he is closer to me. “How are you feeling. My Lady?” He asks, placing his palm on my forehead to feel my

“It hurts, everything hurts.” I say, “I know I am going to die, don’t bother treating me.”
