Ruined(Eternal Monarch)

~REX’S POV~

Juno and I spent the entire day resting. I called the Dean to inform him that his queen would be absent for at least two to three days. Juno has been through a lot, and she is not yet prepared to face the real Rex. So telling her everything before accepting me would be risky. I’m not going to tell her anything just yet. He gathered her entire body in and draped a blanket over her since she was still asleep. Due to her ethereal facial characteristics, she appeared to be a fragile person. One of her hands had been removed from the blanket. He reached for the hand, intending to tuck it into the blanket, but realized the scars on her hand had vanished. He gently lifted the cover and examined her entire body. She was scar-free. He became enraged and yelled,

“Ladon! What have you done? ” Rex screamed.

“Those scars serve as a constant reminder of her tragic existence,” Ladon responded.

“And just how do you expect me to explain this?”

“Find a way!” Ladon screamed and walked away.

“Ladon, Ladon! How could you possibly throw me under the bus and flee? Ladon……” There was no response.

“Fuck!” he exclaims.

He regarded the sleeping woman. She was stunning. He kissed her brow and walked to the kitchen to prepare another turkey in order to explain how he had eliminated all her scars. Of course, he couldn’t tell her about Ladon. She is only aware of one name: Alaric.

“It wouldn’t hurt to say you were the one who did it, would it?”

“Don’t even think about it!”

“What do you want me to say to her then?”

“Say you were the one who did it.”

“What, we’re going back to square one? I’ve made headway with her; she now allows me to sleep in her bed. If I tell her it’s me, she will send me straight to the floor. ”

“That is not my concern.”

“Come on.”

“Nope, she just gave me my name and you want her to hate me? ‘Not a chance.

“The floor is freezing. You know, if I’m sleeping on the floor, neither will you be near her. One of us must bear the guilt.

“And it has to be me, right? Not in a million years. ”

I’m well aware that I’m not going to be able to persuade Alaric, so what do I say to her at this point? Why, Ladon?

~JUNO’S POV~

Naturally, like a mute, I groaned at the back of my head. While tossing and turning in bed, the brilliant light flooding in through the window made it impossible to sleep. How I wish I could remain eternally lost in the calming darkness. Something had a distinct turkey aroma to it! I compelled myself to open my eyes and ran to the bathroom to brush my teeth in preparation to go downstairs and eat the turkey that smelled amazing. My footsteps entering the restroom slammed into me like a hammer. Every sound was obnoxious, save for the aroma of the watering turkey that awaited me below.

When I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, I was washing my mouth. I couldn’t believe the lengthy scar on my neck had vanished. I set the brush down and began unbuttoning my shirt. I couldn’t believe the reflection staring back at me was indeed mine. Scars and blemishes didn’t even show on my body. My skin was as smooth as marble, without a single spot. I lacked scars, not even an indication that I possessed scars on my body. My boils had vanished.

What happened to me?

I picked up the brush and was going to brush again when it occurred to me. I never intended to be content. Those scars were the only repercussions of my unsuccessful life. As a reminder of my shortcomings, I became enraged and made my way downstairs. I neglected to bring my phone. I couldn’t care less. He must explain how the scars on my body were eliminated without informing me about them.

I extended my hand to slap him, but he grabbed it and drew me into a kiss. He is well aware of what he is doing and understands how impossible it would be for me to flee.

What on earth is going on?Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

I’m not supposed to be cheerful, am I? He should simply allow me to embrace my scars. Why must it be this way? I want to push him, but I am unable to, and he is well aware of my powerlessness in his grip. He was well aware that I would be enraged by what he did. No wonder he’s doing this. I was hoisted upon the table. Why is it that this dumb bond has to make me a wimp? I felt myself encircling his neck with my hands. I was out of breath. After that, I overheard him say,

“I’m sorry.”

How on earth am I going to be angry at that? Before him, I looked like a tomato. I raced down the stairs, embarrassed, and up to the second floor. Shut the door! Leaning against the door, my heart was pounding in my chest. I’ve been kissing that man since we arrived here.

“He’s our mate, Juno. You had control over yourself with Alex because he was not our destined mate. You will feel compelled to touch him, even if you are averse to doing so.”

“All of this is possible because of you. I was fine without you. You appeared, and I instantly lost control of myself in his presence. You must put an end to this! I am unworthy of him. I am not looking for love.”

“That’s one thing you can’t seem to make up your mind on, Juno. You’ll find yourself continuously wishing to do stuff with him. This is not my fault. Perhaps you desired to but were afraid. It’s been five years, Juno. Allow yourself to let go of the past. While we cannot forget our son, you deserve a guy who will go to any length for you.”

“And that man should be the man. He’s a wolf?”

“It’s destiny; you can’t cheat it.”

As soon as I got to the restroom, I shooed Athena to the back of my mind and looked in the mirror again.

If he is my destined mate, how would he respond if I told him I had a son with someone else? Will he still want to be with me if he discovers this? He cannot know. What if he treats me badly after he discovers that I am a mother? What if I take a chance on him and go all in, only to find myself back at square one? Will he still have the same opinion of me?

What was I thinking? Is it even possible that I deserve a chance at love? If Rex ever learns I’m a mother, he’s going to kill me or, worse, he’s going to start acting like Alex. No, I am unable to. I am unable to give Rex a chance. He appears to be far more dangerous than Alex. I am terrified of the feelings I have for him. This was never the case with Alex. Rex would murder me without hesitation. I’m aware that, for many reasons, behind his colossal smiles lurks a monster whom you do not want to mess with. Was I obligated to play the role of his Reina, or whatever the hell that is?
