"...And you know that no matter what truce you may have called with the council,they were going to flick around this piece of information like vultures prey looking for their next dead meat"Rdyer finished.He slammed his fist on the desk with a bang.Unfazed I stared at the dent that he had made on my furniture."Manuel it's not about you killing him.Everyone knew he deserved it but you had to know that eventually the truth would be rev

"Am sorry,what act?"She asked feigning innocence. I groaned in frustration. "You do not know what I went through there.They helped me and I couldn't just let your jealously get the best of you and have you laying baseless accusations against someone that had done absolutely nothing to you"I spoke. I watched as her expression changed with each word I spoke. "Jealousy? Baseless accusations?"she repeated. I groaned out. "You know that's not what I meant by that.I just..." She turned to walk away.My hand snaked out to grip her arm. "Manuel,let me go."She told me trying to struggle out of my grasp. "Don't walk away from me when am talking to you."I warned holding her tighter. "Manuel,let me go!"She cried. I saw tears pooled around her eyes as she struggled to break free. I dragged her

"Look..Look..."Finn cried."Samantha?"Manuel spoke up "Doctor!she's awake!she's awake!"I heard him calling out.The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the intense glare of the overhead lightning.I raised my hand to cover my eyes until my eyes adjusted to the light.When the doctor were done with their tests and my vitals were checked,I watched the relief on all their faces.From Micheal and a beautiful female who was glued to his side.I couldn't hide the smile that crept up on my face which he returned with a boyish grin.My kids ran up to me.And with Manuel's help I was able to get them all on my bed.I was seated with my unbelievably huge belly inbetween my thighs.I had been told that I was asleep for over five months and that there had been any sort of hope of me recovering. And that it was a Miracle that I had survived even
MANUEL'S POV One second.Two seconds passed but still nothing.My heart oundedbin my chest as I waited for the people to speak. The council looked smug on their table as they watched the tumult of emotions that passed through my face as I watched the crowd."Alpha Manuel!"Someone shouted from the crowd."Long live Alpha Manuel!"Another rose to cheer.And the rest stood chanting.Soon the room is filled with eruptions of cheers and claps as they chorused their answer. "Long live Alpha Manuel!"They chanted in harmony."Order!order this minute!"The speaker rose shouting at the top of his lungs until the rook went silent again."You have all made your choice and we have all taken it into consideration.

"Why are you getting angry at me for?"She cried. "You ...you've been having an affair all this while and I didnt know.How couldn't I have known."I told her. Her mouth grew agape in feigned shock.I felt my blood boil mat the thought that she thought she could deceive me ."Where is all this coming from Manuel?"HShe asked.I couldn't let her know that it was Maeve because it wasn't. All Maeve did was comform a suspicion that I've had for the longest time."That's not important.
