Lucina's POV"How's the baby doing?" Martains asked me.He always asked after the baby everyday and I lied about it. There was no baby anywhere. I'll just put up this act for a few more weeks or a month when everyone is expecting my stomach to bulge. After that, I'll come up with a miscarriage plan.Martains sent the pack doctor over to come check me up because I told him I wasn't feeling too well.I wanted to see the doctor but didn't want to call him over on my own openly or secretly. It would arouse suspicions if I kept seeing him frequently and the excuse of my pregnancy would not fully cover up for me.Of late, someone had been stalking me and I had to be careful. Beta Carl would not also let me breathe or do anything in peace. His eyes was always on me.The doctor came into the room and he bowed a little to greet me."Leave us alone." I said to the maid that was attending to me. This was not Mia. Mia was running an outdoor errand and so she wasn't available.She left the room an
I saw blood trickling down Luciana's legs. What was that supposed to mean? I was paranoid as my mind kept telling me, "it's a miscarriage.""What's happening to you, babe? Why is there blood flowing? Is it your mouthly flow?" I asked, still pessimistic that it wasn't what I was thinking."The baby! My baby! Our baby is going down." She held her hands stained with blood up high while the tears flowed freely from her eyes."Get me the pack doctor!" I commanded with my alpha tone and the servants that were standing by rushed out in different directions, just to be out of my sight.The doctor was brought in quickly by two male servants. He asked that she was carried upstairs and the blood be cleaned."Doctor, what happened to her? Why was she bleeding?" I asked, refusing to pronounce the obvious."Alpha, please calm down. The Luna just had a miscarriage." He stated."Miscarriage? How come? I thought you told me she was fine, the baby also was fine and nothing was wrong hours ago. So why t
Ashley/Olivia's POVIt's been some days a month and some days in Silver Tail pack. I have been going with Eloise frequently to see Rose but there is not much to say about recovering my memory.Lance had already accepted his own truth that I would not be able to recover the past memories and I should just continue living my life, adapting to the new environment.Little Adrian had moved in with us now although he was always in the care of the maid who took care of children.He had been with Eloise and gotten used to her but since I was back, she brought him home to Lance and I.My hope of recovering my memory was beginning to flicker out and I thought of a plan B.Am I just going to settle in this pack without really knowing what happened or should I move out of this pack and venture into the unknown?Lance had a lot of pack doctors coming in and out of the house daily. They came to either check up on me, run some tests or give me some nutritious supplements that would boost my recovery
Lance POVOlivia was getting better and I was glad to see my wife becoming her old self again."Don't think too much about it. You never know, it's only temporal." An inner voice said.I shunned the voice because, "what the hell? Why shouldn't I be happy when my wife is gradually becoming better and stronger after the ordeal she went through."I was returning to the house after a long day of training and work combined with my duties as the beta of the pack.Alpha Greg was back and he had lifted the compulsory break he gave me after much persuassion on my side.It was a little bit late into the evening, past dinner time. I had sent a message that I would reach home late so Olivia wouldn't have to worry about me.I got home and butler Lin prepared a light dinner for me. I asked him about my wife when he brought the food in."Is my wife already asleep?" I asked, despite knowing she went to bed early most of the times. I was late today so she must have slept off already."Yes, beta. She sh
Ashley/Olivia's POV"Is that you, darling? Come say hi to your friend." Lance voice reached me in the corner I was standing. I thought I had hid myself well from their view but Lance still sensed I was watching them.I refused to come out. I stood still in that spot but Lola said something that pushed me out from that corner."I know we are hurt but you can't keep up this attitude for long. What if we get caught? You may be in his wife's body but anything can happen. He may find out one way or the other about the truth and your cover gets blown up. What would you do then?""Are you suggesting I just overlook and suppress the hurt of betrayal I am feeling inside?" I snapped back at her."Stop saying it like you are the only one hurt here. I am also hurt but you don't have to go to the extreme and kill yourself over spilt milk. Those betrayers don't deserve us thinking about them. You should focus your energy on how to get back while you still relate with Lance and the others." She voic
Lance POVEloise was about to leave the house when I came in. There wasn't much to do at the alpha's today. My mind had been on Olivia and how she was doing all day."How did it go?" I asked her."It didn't go well. She refused to talk but I'll still try again another day." She said. I breathed heavily, not from relief though."Do you think we should involve medical experts in this?" I asked her."Not everything needs medical aid. What do you think the doctors would be able to do?"She was right. I had no answer to what extent the doctors could go in finding a solution to my wife's predicament. I was just desperate in trying an external means.An idea came into my mind and I spoke to Eloise about it."How about you stay here for some days? She may not want to talk to you about anything now but I think if you are always around and you keep pressing on her to open up, she will."Eloise had a mate she was married to but he was hardly ever in the pack. He had some business outside the pac
Ashley/Olivia's POVI could not sleep. I was roaming about my room. I was also aware that Eloise was staying behind because Lance asked her to. I was getting consumed by anger and hate and it was as if the hate was going to spread to the people in my present life, Eloise and Lance but I didn't want that.I let Lola take reign and she kept howling through the night. The sound from her howling was like a male wolf who had been deprived of access to his mate. It wasn't feminine at all. This was the first time I heard Lola cry out in so much pain. I guess she could not take it anymore. She had been the one encouraging me and providing me with comfort but she had broken down from her own hurt. I wished I could help her but I could not.She was a part of me and so I was feeling her hurt. I let her be until she calmed down a bit in the early hours of the morning."It seems you are feeling the pain now much more than I do." I said to her softly when I felt her relaxing in my head."I thought
Ashley/Olivia's POVI swallowed hard I had just attracted trouble for myself. The two figure sitting before me, sat there, waiting for an answer an, explanation to what I meant by saying I was not Olivia. "Uh.. Well..."I gulped, wondering what to tell Lance and Eloise. A part of me was telling me to just walk away without trying to defend myself and that they would not take it seriously. I wanted to walk out because I just yelled at him and so why would I bring myself to stammering and apologizing? I decided to just walk away but not without some words, " please let me be." the please sounded like an instruction given to ones subject. "I've lost my appetite. Excuse me. " I said and stood up to leave. Lance hesitated a moment but then nodded slowly in response. I don't know why he nodded. Was he giving me the permission to leave when I already give myself one? His face was sullen. Eloise who was sitting beside him also had the same look on her face. I smiled triumphantly an
Ashley/Olivia's POV"No, you should go alone, Martains. I won't be coming. I have to go back to the house and do my chores.""It's alright but thank you for always being by my side, Emily."He did not disagree and just allowed me to go home. I left him while he went to pay a visit to Ashley.There was no way I would go to my own grave. Wouldn't that be like digging another grave and opening up a soft spot in my heart?Martains was convinced that I was just Emily who was sent to help him. It was better at this instead of revealing anything further that I was Ashley."You can finally return to the man who makes you smile like a fool." Lola teased me, jumping around in my head."Oh please, don't tell me you aren't excited too." I replied to her."I am but I am only excited because I would see my cute little baby, Adrian.""Hehehe, I know you miss him but you would not agree to it." I got to the house and then to my room. I quickly arranged the little things I had. I would be leaving for
Ashley/Olivia's POVThe wood was silent once again, the only sound being the heavy breathing of Martains and the warriors.I watched as Martains and Carl stood still even when his warriors had taken Luciana's body and kicked the dead Greg's body somewhere far.He was not a member of any pack in Oakstone so his body could only be left there. As an alpha, he would have deserved better but he choose the path of a traitor. His pack members would look for him and take his dead body back to Silvertail if they wanted to.The expression on Martains's face was that of pain and devastation."You found the truth and brought an end to it all. You can break from the hard truth but endure it, man." Carl said, tapping on his shoulders before moving to join the other warriors.It was just me and Martains now. I moved closer, closing the gap between us.My hand found its way to his shoulders and tapped on it continuously. He held my hands and bent his head, letting the tears flow.It was the first tim
Ashley/Olivia's POVGreg charged forward at Martains with a fierce battle cry, his claws extended and his teeth bared.The warriors around Martains rushed at him before he could even get closer and then they pinned him down.One of them raised his hands to hit down on Greg but Martains raised his hands for them to stop."Just pin him down first and don't let him move a bit. I am surprised why he is charged at me and wants to kill me. I need to understand everything going on here before I lay a finger on him."So they pinned him down as he kept struggling to free himself.I cleaned the dirt that had gathered on my body from rolling around and stood where I was while Martains and Carl walked towards me.The expression on his face showed he was confused seeing Luciana on the floor, the crazy wolf who wanted to attack him and then his personal maid, Emily in the woods."Why are you here, Emily? Why was he attacking you? And why is Luciana lying half dead on the floor? Tell me what is happ
Ashley/Olivia's POVAs I turned to leave, a massive figure emerged from the trees and pounced on me, making me roll over. Luciana's eyes widened in surprise as Greg, his face contorted in rage, pounced on me.I was not expecting to meet Greg here. I was surprised but he would be more surprised. However, this was an opportunity to end it all. Martains and his men would be here soon.As an alpha, Greg was strong and he poured in all his rage on me. Our strengths were at the same level.I was below him so he did not see my face until I rolled him over and he caught sight of my face, my full appearance."Greg, no!" Luciana croaked, her voice weak from the poison."Olivia? What...why.. are you...? And what is the meaning of this? I mean, you, Luciana.""Are you surprised to see me here, brother-in-law?" I smirked, standing up and he took a step backwards."Don't listen to her, Greg. She is not the real Olivia." Luciana said, almost in a whisper, forcing herself to speak."Shhsh! Don't str
Luciana's POV"You have to escape now, Luna. The truth is out and the alpha is blazing with fury. They would come to arrest you soon. You have to run away now!" Mary burst into the room, panting hard."What? Those two brats already revealed me too soon just because I could not get rid of them last night?" I sprang up, my body shaking with fear."Why are you still staying there talking? You have to run now else there will be no way out. Time is not on your side." Mary moved closer and dragged my hands, shoving a small bag into my hands and, a veil and a clothe to disguise.The reality hit me hard and I threw on the cloth immediately and covered the veil.I sneaked out of the room with the lead of Mary through a secret passageway we had created in the house for emergency.The passageway led directly to one of the borders of the pack."Hurry up, now Luna! You can't get caught." Mary shouted from the top while I entered the passageway, running as fast as I could.I was now like a fugitive
Alpha Martains's POV"Guards!" I bellowed, my voice echoing through the halls. "Arrest Luciana at once! She is a traitor and a murderer!"My hands tightened into a fist as I thought that I had lived with a murderer all these years. I have lived with the person who backstabbed my mate and I, deceiving me with her innocence.My guards scurried off to carry out my orders."How dare you, Luciana? How dare you? You've fooled me big time. I am angry at myself but my anger for you is overflowing." Her face in my memory no longer looked like the innocent Luciana with all smiles. All I could see was a devilish smirk and smile.Some dots at this point however connected in my head but I was too foolish to pick up all these loose ends too soon and accuse her. Probably I felt that would be accusing another innocent soul based on my emotional judgements but see where it has led me.Ashley would never have died. She would have been alive, taking care of our child.Why would she come for me immediat
Ashley/Olivia's POVI returned to the house from the dungeon and made my way straight to Martains room.My mind still shifted back and forth from my encounter with Sam and Morris in the dungeon. I felt something was off when I left the dungeon. It was as if something evil was lurking around and it had to be from Luciana.I knew I had to act fast to ensure their safety, and so I increased my pace to Martains' room.I met beta Carl still in the room with Martains."What is it, Emily?" Martains asked in a soft voice."I need to speak with you, alpha."Carl and Martains exchanged glances and Carl stood up, about to leave."You can stay. It is something you should also hear."I came up with something quickly to make him do just as I would say without looking suspicious."I could not sleep. It always happen this way to me when something not so good is about to happen.""And do you have any idea what that is?" the both of them looked at me expectantly.It was believable and I got them hooked
Ashley/Olivia's POV Sam and Morris were arrested and that was it. Martains was not going ahead to arrest Luciana, imprison her and torture her."What the heck did those two tell him? He is supposed to be in a rage now and should be dealing with Luciana." I pondered on my head, pacing about my room."Or did they lie to him about who the person is? Or did they even leave that part out?" "Argh!" I screamed in annoyance as the possible hit me. It was either they lied or did not tell Martains that it was Luciana."Just what did they tell him?" I mumbled as I made my way out of the door to Martains's room.The tensed and angry lines on my face relaxed when I got to his door."Don't wait to knock, come in, Emily." Martains voice from inside startled me. I had not even knocked and he knew I was outside.I turned the knob open and entered inside. Martains stood before a small door leading to a small balcony in his room with his hands in his pocket.He had an unreadable express on his face.I
Luciana's POV I sat down in my room, my mind filled with thoughts of how to push forward my second plan to get rid of Martains and make Oakstone mine and Greg's."I must work this time. I won't allow anyone to ruin it this time." I mumbled as I sat on the bed lost in my thoughts.I tried to free my mind of whatever would weigh me down but my mind kept traveling back to Martains and Emily. Emily was the only pain in my neck but Martains had decided to join sudes with her and was also becoming a pain in the neck."Damn! How dare he do that in my face? I could have done worse if not that I am trying to be on his good side so my plans do not get ruined. Does he think I am the docile Ashley?" I said, scoffing."I thought they had finally gotten rid of you, Emily but you are back, stirring up more trouble and threats to me."Just as I was starting to calm down from the rage and frustration I was feeling, one of my loyal servants burst into the room."Your highness, I have urgent news." he s
