I yawned lethargically and sprawled on my back, my eyes closed.It’s been two months since it was revealed that I’ve gotten pregnant and the war with Rex happened. Ever since then, Wyatt has made me stay at home to watch over my health and make sure that nothing goes wrong with my baby.Being home all the time made me have so much leisure time.Suddenly, the bed was sunken, and the familiar sandalwood scent drifted into my nose. Wyatt’s hand wrapped around my waist, and in one swift movement, I was sitting right on Wyatt’s lap.My eyes flew wide open, and I wrapped my hands around Wyatt’s neck before burying my face in the crook of his neck. I inhaled Wyatt’s musky sandalwood scent, and I felt myself calm down. Wyatt gently rubbed my back and waist as if to comfort me.Wyatt held my chin gently and cupped my cheeks. “Baby, you haven't eaten all day.”I opened my eyes and pursed my lips in a thin line due to unhappiness. Somehow, all the foods I loved to eat in the past didn’t seem
…As soon as it was dawn, I nimbly removed Wyatt’s hand that wrapped around my waist and crept away from Wyatt’s embrace while making sure that I was quiet and careful as much as I could. Immediately, I placed a pillow in my previous position and let Wyatt hug the pillow instead. Wyatt didn't move or shake at all, seemingly very oblivious to my actions. Clearly, Wyatt was so worn out due to the hectic work he had been doing.Thinking about it made my heart ache a lot. I had to use all I could to retrain myself from stroking his sleeping face and telling him it'd be alright. I began to tiptoe while trying to make my breathing as silent as possible as I made my way toward the door. As soon as I reached the door, I quietly placed my hand on it before turning the doorknob silently.I tiptoed out of the room, walked out of the bedroom, and continued to make my way towards the kitchen.As soon as I stepped into the kitchen, I made my way towards the apron section.I wore it and made my
“Wyatt, I…”Wyatt cupped my face and kissed my forehead as if to calm me down. “It’s not your fault. He had always been sneaky; you can’t win against him.” Wyatt responded calmly, but I couldn’t fail to catch a glint flickering past Wyatt’s eyes.I gnashed my teeth subtly, inwardly blaming Oswald for his nonsensical sentences. I hope Oswald won’t use his words to cause misunderstandings in my relationship with Wyatt. That bastard doesn’t want to stop!The door was suddenly pushed open, jolting me awake from my reverie. Asher strode into the office, and upon seeing me, his legs came to a stop. My eyes fell on Asher’s face. Ever since I saw Asher in the hospital two months ago, I haven’t seen him either. Somehow, Asher seems worn out compared to when I last saw him.My lips pursed, and gloom flickered past my eyes immediately. How does it concern me if Asher seems worn out compared to before? It’s none of my business!I smacked my lips and snorted inwardly, thinking that it was quite
It was later in the afternoon that I woke up to the emptiness of Wyatt and my bedroom. I guess Wyatt must have left for work after our hectic session. I yawned and lazily nestled in the bed like a kitten. The softness of my body made me whimper "Miss, are you awake?" The familiar voice of Fox suddenly invaded my ears. Before I could give a response, the door was pushed open, and Fox stepped into Wyatt and my bedroom with her expression as usual.Except there was something different in Fox’s appearance that I just couldn't pinpoint. Moreover, Fox always asked for permission before she entered, unlike now. I took a deep breath to snap out of the chaotic thoughts that were running through my mind. Perhaps I was just being paranoid, so I tried to suppress them instead.Fox flashed me a sweet smile and stretched out a lunchbox towards me before I could say a word. "Miss, Boss Wyatt ordered me to deliver this to you. Boss Wyatt ordered me to make sure you eat the meal in my presence so he
My eyes widened, and my actions paused at the scenery I saw. My eyes darted around, taking in the view of the beautiful garden I was in, while I kept swinging happily. My mind began to spurn in surprise. Why was I in the garden? Weren’t I at...“Filippa, come over. Dad is home.” The familiar voice of my mom broke me out of reverie. My thinking immediately diffused. “Dad? Mom?” My eyes widen in astonishment, and my face whips towards the direction of the voice. Mom and Dad are still alive? They weren’t dead? Without further thought, I jumped down the swing and dashed towards the voice, finding it too good to be true that my dead parents were alive.Somehow, before I could take the third step, I saw myself right in front of my parent's presence.My eyes widened in disbelief, and before I knew it, tears began to cascade past my eyes, my body trembling. My parents. They're alive… It turns out that they're not dead…“What are you crying for, little Maia?" My dad’s voice suddenly drifted
“They’re here.” Wyatt’s agitated voice drifted into my ears as soon as I regained consciousness. Knowing how easily Wyatt tends to catch me whenever I’m awake, I quickly tried to continue feigning like I was sleeping. “They disguised as Fox to hurt Maia. Who knows what they will do next?” Wyatt’s deep, cold voice, which was filled with possessiveness and fury, invaded my ear.His hands kept stroking my cheeks, helping me relax more and more, that it really gave me the impulse to want to fall asleep again. Asher unconsciously began to exude a cold aura, and his voice was laced with darkness. “They must have known Maia is a pure-blood or the identity Maia harbors…”“It’s my fault. I failed to protect her well.” Oswald suddenly interjected with a self-blame sentence. I had the impulse to clench my fist and bite my lower lips, but upon recalling that I was feigning sleep, I had to let go of the urges. I couldn’t help falling in thought due to their words. Is there something I’m missing
FILIPPA'S POV“You stupid bitch. Do I need to teach you everything, every damn time?” A heavy kick at my bedroom dilapidated door jolted me awake from my sleep. My heart was beating, and my body was shivering in fright. I stared at the door and I caught the sinister face of Jessica staring at me. My heart skipped in fear and I unconsciously gulped down the saliva forming. I swept a gaze at the clock and the time says 2:59 a.m.“Head. Head maid Jessica. May I ask for the reason you're calling for me at such a time?” Even though I tried to stay calm. My voice somehow ended up coming out in a shaky tone and stutter. Jessica walked toward me and slapped me so hard, that my face whipped to the side. The effect of the slap worsened the dull headache I had. In the broken mirror on the right side of the room, I could see a pink handprint on my cheeks. Tears pooled in my eyes as Jessica grabbed my chin hard and dug her fingernails into my face, but I managed to hold it in, “Didn't I as
FILLIPA'S POVUpon reaching my uncle's office, I raised my hand, musing on whether to knock or not when my uncle's ugly voice resounded in my ear and had me biting my lower lips and clenching my fist to suppress my fear. "Come in."I walked into my uncle's luxurious office, and I saw my uncle sitting behind the alpha's table with an eyeglass lying on the bridge of his nose even though he didn't need it. We werewolves have sharp and clear vision, don't we?Luna Anabelle was sitting next to him with her face caked with makeup as usual, while rubbing his lap with her hand sensually, "Alpha, Luna." I saluted.Both of them ignored my greeting like usual, but this time there was a sinister smile on Alpha Henry's face which made my stomach churn. I unconsciously took a step back.It can't be that Alpha Henry was cooking a wicked plan like asking his guards to throw me into the Red Mist forest where the rogues are to 'train' me or asking me to be injected with an amount of wolfsbane again, so
