OLIVIA'S POVI scrubbed the floor furiously, trying my best to keep the toilet as clean as ever. As I kept working, a sudden wave of dizziness swept over me, causing me to pause. My eyes grew heavy, my limbs weak. I couldn't ignore the overwhelming fatigue that consumed me at that moment. Reluctantly, I abandoned what I was cleaning and sank to the floor beside the water system toilet."Oh, God! What the hell is wrong with me?" I rubbed my face frustratedly.I can't remember the last time I ever felt sick. That was years ago. But since all I've been doing for these past few weeks is to work my ass out, it's definitely going to be a fever.I couldn't even get myself to stand up, it's as if I had lost my strength. I just wanted to remain this way, but then, I couldn't get myself to sit any longer before. I forced myself to stand up but fell. My breath increased. I couldn't help it, the weakness persisted, leaving me powerless to continue. Taking a deep breath, I tried to steady myself
RAVEN'S POV{Three Months Later…}I sat on my throne seat, listening as the elders made their report. My mind wasn't in what they were saying as I couldn't get myself to concentrate. It's been three months and yet, Sophia hasn't gotten pregnant.I was tired and devastated, and I wanted to leave this place. But it would be unwise of me to walk without a reason. Instead, I asked them to leave.“You all should leave, we'll have this conversation tonight.” “At what time, sir?” The chief elder asked.“I'll inform you when. For now, I want to be left alone.” “Alright, sir.” I watched them leave the room one after the other.I couldn't think straight sitting on my throne chair, I had to stand up, hoping it would help. This month just made it three fucking months, and I can't stand to be proud of myself before the people.And alpha king without an heir? This was one reason why I broke up with Olivia, because she couldn't conceive despite the countless times we've slept together.Now, I thou
RAVEN'S POVAfter she had had her dinner, I discussed with her about the idea of visiting the hospital. At first, she felt uncomfortable with the idea, but I had to convince her that it was the best for us.“Alright.” She agreed.When morning came, we were already up. She seemed even more concerned about visiting the hospital than I was, and she kept hurrying me to be fast or more patients would crowd the hospital.If she was this concerned, why did she act like she hated the idea the previous night? “I thought you hated the idea of meeting the doctor?”“Me?” She pointed at herself. “I never said I don't like the idea of meeting a doctor. I mean, I do wanna see a doctor but… I was only surprised you thought of the idea first.”“That’s because I am worried, Sophia. It's already a year and… we don't have a child of our own.”“I understand you, and I do feel the same way. I just… I can't question fate for putting us in such a situation.”“That is why I have made up my mind to involve wi
RICK'S POVI was with the elders when Isaac, my bodyguard, walked in. “Alpha.” He called. There was a sudden silence as all eyes turned to look at him. “Yes, I'm listening.” I said, giving him a go ahead.“It's a message from our spy in the Dark Moon Pack.” He reported. On hearing the Dark Moon Pack, I felt interested to know.“Go ahead.”“Lately, he's been feeling depressed. The spy did say that for the first time he visited the hospital.”“Hospital?” I repeated to be sure. “What was he doing in the hospital?”“He didn't go alone, he was accompanied by his Luna. So, from what he overheard, Alpha Raven had gone to visit a consultant concerning the issue of not having a child yet.”I burst out laughing. I had no idea he wasn't a father yet, I mean… he did mocked me for not having a mate yet, so I was going to do the same to him.I know doing so would definitely get to him harder than it had gotten to me. I'm definitely going to show him what it means to stay out of other people's pers
OLIVIA'S POVOh, it's been two days since Anna traveled. It's been a relief to me since she left, and I've been thankful for that.She said she was going to come back after a day, but it's two fucking days already. Just this morning, I overheard Alpha Rick asking her where she was and why she hadn't returned as said.I couldn't hear what her reply was but from his response, I knew she had given another excuse to him. And I'm certain he must have believed her. “Have you guys noticed anything since the last two days?” Stella asked Victory and I.“What did you notice?” Victory and I asked in unison.Least I forget, Victory and I are back to being friends. We've understood our differences, we've let bygones be bygones. Now… we're back to being cool. Though, he did say why he was acting that way, and I understand.I really do. It's natural to feel this way towards people, especially to your opposite gender.“Ever since the mistress left, the pack house has been quiet.”“I was thinking I w
OLIVIA'S POV "Alpha Rick, what—""Shh," he whispered, his voice low and commanding. "I prefer the room dark.”My mind raced as I tried to make sense of his words. Was there any way to ignore an Alpha's call? Would it be a crime if I have to? Because right now, I don't get why he'd request for me in his room and yet, prefers to talk in the dark.Still, I could feel the electricity that pulsed between us, the thrill of being so close to him in the dark."Okay," I whispered back, my voice barely audible over the pounding sound of my heartbeat.He released my wrist, and I took a cautious step away, my senses on high alert as I tried to navigate the darkness. I could feel his presence looming over me, his scent filling my senses. I don't know what was going on, but I figured out that my body was somehow betraying me.Suddenly, I felt his hand on my waist, pulling me toward himself until I was standing inches away from him. I could feel the heat of his body against mine, the tension betwee
OLIVIA'S POVI leaned against the wall of the hallway window, staring out. Stella has been talking but I paid no attention to what she was saying. I knew her mouth was moving, but what she was saying was what I didn't know.She tapped my shoulder. “Were you even listening to me?” She asked with an eyebrow raised. “Uhm…” I thought of something to say. “Yeah, sure, of course.”“So, what was the last thing I said?” She asked to be sure.“I uhm…” I stammered. But then… I had no idea what to tell her. “Okay, fine. I wasn't listening.” I admitted.She exhaled heavily. “What's on your mind, you look lost.”I sighed, looking out of the window. “I don't know, I just… I just feel so empty right now.”“Is it concerning Alpha Rick?” She asked.Why would she think of Alpha Rick to be the reason behind my sad countenance? “No, not him.”“Then who?”“It's… my ex.” I buried my face to the ground. “I don't know how to go about with this.” I said, pointing at my belly.“You’re worried about madame An
OLIVIA'S POV“You're pregnant, aren't you?”I didn't say anything.“Who's the father?” He asked.Why does he care to know who the father is now?“It's not bad knowing, is it?” He shrugged his shoulders.Did he just read my mind?“The more you keep talking in your mind, the louder it becomes in my ears.”I muted every word in my mind and the ones yet to come out from my mouth. “You didn't turn dumb all of a sudden, did you?” “My ex.” I finally told him.“Raven?” He asked as if he didn't know who I was talking about. “Isn't this the main reason why he rejected you for her?”“How did you know?”“I didn't know, you just told me right now.” He smiled. That wasn't funny. I don't remember saying the reason why Raven rejected me to anyone. How the fuck does he know about it all?“Like I said, I never knew. I just guessed it, and your response proved I was right.” He made steps away from me. “If only he knew the reason why he had rejected you was the same thing he'd face with her.”I was con
