Chapter: Chapter 41Macey's father was already bleeding so badly, from the place he was shot, and I wished I could help him up the spot, but there was no way, because we were still in a deep battle, and we just started doing that now."Sir, go in, and try to attend to your wound, I will handle them." I finally spoke up, hoping he would listen and just go in."No, there are too many for you to handle, I can't let anything happen to you, I know my daughter cares so much about you, besides you were still injured yesterday, so let me stay here and help you out." He said stubborn, and I sighed softly."You are losing too much blood, please go and attend to your wound, if Macey loses you, she would never be happy again, besides she has been away from here, she just came to see you this morning, after so long. Please sir, listen to me and do this for your daughter." I pleaded, and he took a deep breath, and mouthed 'okay,' casually before leaving me there.I continued shooting at them, until I killed all the gu

Chapter: Chapter 40We went straight to the table, and I took an excuse before finally leaving the party. At least I have shown myself there already, so I really don't want to stay until the party comes to an end.I walked into my house with Anna behind me. "Come on Macey you really didn't have to leave the party so early, besides I haven't even enjoyed the party yet." She frowned once we were finally in."I have a lot of things to do tonight, so I really needed to be home early, remember I have a flight to catch in the morning." I told her, as I had my seat on the couch, while I bent to take off my shoes."Even at that, we should have stayed there a little longer at least until 11pm before coming home." She said, and I widened my eyes in disbelief."Come on Anna you can't be serious, are you?" I asked her, as I finally tried to compose myself."I'm very serious Macey, you and I know how much I love parties, and we had the opportunity to attend one today, but you didn't even let us stay." I sighed softly

Chapter: Chapter 39I wasn't too comfortable with the fact that I took the call from an unknown contact, but I just tried to be confident and placed the phone on my ear."Hello ma'am Macey, it's me Peter, your father's guard." He spoke up immediately and I answered the call, and I just sighed in relief realising it was something I knew."Oh Peter, what can I do for you, hope all is well, and daddy is doing just fine?" I asked immediately, still trying to figure out why he was calling me, because from what I know, he has never called me before, since I started using this contact, so why was he called me then."Your father is not fine, he is so sick, and he said he wants to see you, before he dies." He told me, and immediately I couldn't feel my heart spanking."What!!!" I exclaimed, as hot tears clouded my eyes immediately."Yes Miss Macey, you have to consider coming home soon, so you would get to see him one last time before he finally dies." He advised me, and I totally hate the fact that he said that,

Chapter: Chapter 38I guess I made a horrible mistake for taking the call without checking the caller ID first. "Mum, I told you already, that I don't want her here, because I am too busy to attend to her, and I told you that I won't go to see her even if she decides to come here, so stop bothering me about her." I told her off, and disengaged the call.I know she would be shocked, but I don't care. From now on, I don't really care about her, all I care about is no one else but Macey.So until I get back into my life, nothing else matters, and no one else matters too, so I don't need to get myself all worked up because of my mum.She can get angry at me, but I really don't care. To me it doesn't really matter now.I thought and sighed softly, as I continued walking out, but my phone kept ringing, knowing fully well that it was my mum, I just ignored the call, and proceeded into my car, and drove off immediately.I sat comfortably as I placed my order, but just then my eyes went to Macey and Anna walking

Chapter: Chapter 37 MACEY'S POVIt was another weekend again, and honestly, I was really grateful. Since the incident of Carter kissing me in the office, I had been away from the office.I stayed home for two days, and I only just went to the office yesterday which happened to be on Friday. I really can't believe Carter has the nerve to kiss me, despite what he had done to me before now.But somehow I'm still very surprised that he actually kissed me, Because for the three whole years I was married to him, he never for once kissed me. So why would he just kiss me now out of the blues.Was he really trying to play with my feelings or what? or does he know that I still have feelings for him, and he has plans to take advantage of that fact? So many questions popped into my head, and honestly I wished I could get an answer to them all.I stood up reluctantly from my bed, as I was still laying down. When I woke up this morning, my head was just filled with different thoughts, and I didn't see

Chapter: Chapter 36Chapter 36"Anna I'm sorry, but I can't sit up, I promise to make it up to you in the morning." I managed to say, as I could feel my eyes slowly closing."You are just so lazy sometimes." She said, and stormed off and honestly I felt really good that she had gone away.Once it was morning, I got dressed, and so was Anna and after breakfast we left for the office. I thought of going over to Anna's office too like the previous day, but I figured out that would make me look weak before him, so I quickly decided against it, and waved at Anna before making my way to my office."So this is it," I took a deep breath, as I made to grab the doorknob and somehow my heart was pounding, and I felt so nervous too, but why?After staying there for a while, I finally decided within myself to step in, which I did without thinking twice."You are finally here today, I'm so happy." He smiled, and I frowned and just ignored him, and went straight to my seat."Here check this out." He stretched out some

Chapter: Chapter 18I decide to dress in a loose dress that covers my showing baby bump and a scarf Rosie made for me. I throw the scarf around my neck and face to hide my growing chubby cheeks.I have borrowed one of Drake's cars—it’s not stealing since Drake is my mate—and drive myself to my parents' pack. I decide to park outside the house and walk into the gate on foot. The gate man isn’t at his post, which only adds to my advantage. I don’t want my parents notified of my coming; I want it to be a pleasant surprise before it turns to the inevitable disappointment. I walk the rest of the way to my parents' house.The house hasn’t changed. It looks just the same, everything in the exact same way I left it. I stop at the sound of voices coming from my father’s second office, detached from the house and standing on its own between the boys' quarters and the main house. I identify the voice speaking as my father’s. My father doesn’t use this office except when he wants to discuss something of great import

Chapter: Chapter 17My heart skipped a beat when Drake knocked and entered my room later that night.I tried to pretend I was asleep. I tried to act like I didn’t know when he came back home. I tried to act like I didn’t stare from my window when he entered through the gate.I waited patiently while he bathed, ate, and changed.“Are you awake?” he asked, lingering at the door.I didn’t respond. I kept my eyes closed and willed my body not to give any indication that I wasn’t deeply at rest.“Okay,” I heard him mumble before closing the door. My stomach sank. I shouldn’t have pretended to be asleep. Now he was gone—oh.I felt a hand on my stomach and the rustling of the sheets as he sat by the edge. Relief, sweet strong relief washed over me. Maybe my plan would work.“Mummy’s asleep, isn’t she?”Is he... is he talking to my stomach? Okay.“I bet she’s tired. Don’t be too hard on her, okay? I know she’s stubborn and all, but let’s take it easy on her, okay?”I tried. Heaven knows I tried to suppress the l

Chapter: Chapter 16Only the moon goddess knew how Drake got a turkey under an hour.“Microwave,” he said.He mentioned that he and Rosie had been working on putting a variety of food in the kitchen that I might crave, to avoid what happened that night when I made him bake cookies at 1 AM. He didn’t want to wake Rosie, so he did it himself, grumbling all the way through while I peppered him with questions.“What’s your favourite colour?”“When was your first kiss?”“What’s your favourite food?”I didn’t think he would answer, but he grumbled all the answers to me while making me the best cookies I’d ever had. Only after one piece, I didn’t want them anymore. It took a ton of self-control for Drake not to strangle me to death that night.Today, after getting me the turkey, he made sure I was full to the brim. I could literally feel the food lingering in my throat, having no space to move down. I was sure that should be unhealthy or something, but it didn’t last long. I was hungry again before I knew it.D

Chapter: Chapter 15I thought something was wrong with Drake. After we both learned I was pregnant, he changed. I wasn’t sure if I should like it or be scared. I thought he might be suffering from mood swings.First, he stayed away from me, giving the impression that he hated me. Then, he saved me from falling and dying, even when I thought he wanted me dead. He came into my room and made me scream his name, then told me to stay the hell away from him. And now, he was calling me darling and bringing me breakfast in bed, taking my every whim seriously. I wasn’t sure how to react to that.“I wasn’t sure what your pregnant tummy would want to eat today, so I had Rosie make you a variety of things,” he said.I tried not to look too surprised when Drake brought me breakfast for the 24th time in a row. I had barely woken up. The morning sickness and lack of appetite had reduced a lot. Now all I ever wanted to do was eat, though I sometimes didn’t know what to eat and craved different things at different hours.

Chapter: Chapter 14Valerie POVThroughout the day, I was far from being myself. Aside from the reality of now being hated by my mate for the deeds of my father, I still didn't feel all good in my body. I've tried to ignore it. Well, I guess his rejection was just what I needed to go and rest. As I approached the steps leading to the garden's exit, my vision got blurry, my steps haggard, I knew there was not much time left before I passed. “I don't feel too good, Drake…” my voice was barely above a whisper. “Just a few more steps…” I told myself… I was wrong. The last thing I remembered before total darkness was seeing Alpha Drake's eyes, as he held me from hitting my head. Opening my eyes, my blurred vision cleared to my immediate environment, I knew I wasn't in the garden and, I'm pretty sure I didn't walk to this place. The next my brain registered was the beep sound coming from the machine standing next to me… I was in the pack infirmary.I sat up, with the little energy I could muster. The pac

Chapter: Chapter 13I spent the day in my room crying, binge-watching Gilmore Girls, and eating ice cream. I couldn't believe Drake scolded me and then told me to stay away from him after giving me the best orgasm ever. Rosie came to check on me, and I asked her to leave after requesting more ice cream.It took me a week to stop mourning. Drake did well to avoid me, always out working or locked in his study. He even went as far as telling Rosie to bring his food upstairs to his room just to avoid me. I filled my days with reading, binge-watching TV shows, and helping Rosie in the kitchen.“Oh dear child, I thought you said you’re fine?” Rosie asked, looking at me with worry.“I am,” I said. I hadn't told her what happene
