ANNA'S POVI sat with my friends in the cozy sitting room, and we were all chatting happily, our laughter filled the air. The atmosphere felt relaxed and satisfying, it's been long since they came to visit. And for the first time in so many months, I didn't feel alone.Mercy used to be my everyday visitor, but not until she got married, she barely shows up. Grace got admission for her PhD program for medicine, she barely stayed online to talk of calling. And Stacy... Let's just say, she isn't a people person. She barely left her home until she was forced to. I know her coming here was because Mercy and Grace are here. But that's by the way, we're here. Having the fun we hadn't had in years now.I realized we were running low on refreshments, so I called Olivia to help fetch us something from the fridge."You called me." She said,"Olivia, could you please bring some drinks from the fridge?" I wasn't giving her so much attention, but I did my best to sound all nice to her.There was a
OLIVIA'S POVI couldn't hold the pain, it fucking hurts in there.“What on earth happened?” Stella asked but that wasn't what I wanted at the moment. I wasn't ready to talk, I just needed to get to the doctor as soon as possible or something bad would happen to my child.“We're almost there, you just have to hold on a little longer.” We finally reached the doctor's quarter after what seemed like eternity. “Doctor, we need your help!”The doctor appeared worried as he approached me, "Miss Bridgestone, what happened to you?" He inquired gently, concerned etched in his face.I winced as I recalled the incident. "Madame Anna... she pushed me to the ground," The pain I was feeling inside was unbearable. "Doctor, please do something. I... I can't bear the pain anymore.""Of course, Miss Bridgestone, I will help you. It's my job, and that's what I do for everyone.""That's what you do for everyone." I kept breathing heavily. "You do it for everyone, right?""Of c6, I do it for everyone.""Ok
ANNA'S POV“Madame Anna, the Alpha King has requested to see you.” A maid informed me.I smiled. I already knew why he wanted to see me. He must have seen Olivia, or Olivia must have reminded him, who knows?I majestically walked to his room. I didn't bother to knock because I knew Rick to be a man who doesn't lock his door for any reason except he was… I know you know what I'm going to say.“You're not gonna die if you had kindly knocked on the door.”I rolled my eyes. “I wouldn't die either if I don't. By the way, why did you call me?”“I'm pretty sure you already know why. And I'm going to ask you, why did you disobey me?” His eyes turned dark as he gazed down at me. “I already warned you not to lay a finger on her, didn't I? And you, Anna, you dared to disobey me?”I sighed, crossing my arms around my chest. “You don't expect me to keep shut when she misbehaves. At least, you didn't warn me not to touch her whenever she misbehaves. I was only trying to teach her what was wrong.”
ANNA'S POVEven at that, I wasn't going to do anything.Oh please, don't get me wrong. I need to make that bitch suffer. I can't give up, giving up had never been an option to me. It's said; “Never Give Up.” So dude, I'm sticking to that saying. And even though I can't have him to myself, I wasn't going to let her have him either. So, it's a win win.I walked up to her. “I need you to get me something in the market. It's urgent and I need it on the table.”“Geez, Madame Anna, the Alpha King already asked you not to send Olivia on an errand. She is only meant to serve him alone.” The lady beside her snapped.“Who the fuck are you to talk to me in such manner?” I frowned. “I don't care whatever stupid rules your Alpha King makes, I have every right to do whatever I want to do.”“It doesn't matter, as long as you are under the Alpha King, you deserve to obey. But if you insist not to, then no one is obeying you.” She stood her ground.“By the way, I wasn't talking to you, bitch. Whereve
STELLA'S POVFear gripped me as I ran after the black car until my legs started hurting. Eyes kept looking at me but none cared to help out. I fell to the ground, not minding the cars that drove along the road, I just couldn't feel my breath anymore.Tears streamed down my cheek uncontrollably. What will I tell Alpha Rick? Going to the market with Olivia but returning to the pack alone. What excuse would I give to defend myself from this?Heaven knows I warned Olivia. I warned her but she didn't listen to me. I knew Madame Anna's purpose for sending her to buy her fruits wasn't a good one. And that was what Olivia was just so blind to realize.Olivia has the attitude of trusting people's words, and having a soft heart wasn't helping matters. Now look where it had gotten her to? Shit! Alpha Rick will definitely have me dead for sure.I managed to stand on my feet. I looked over at the fruit on the ground, I wanted to leave it but I had to take it with me as evidence to let Alpha Rick k
RICK'S POVTears formed in her eyes as she spat the words to me. “They took her. They took Olivia.”My heart skipped a beat. For a second, I tried to process the words, but I couldn't get myself to believe what she just said. Was this some kinda joke or what? What does she mean that Olivia was taken?“You're trying to tell me that Olivia didn't return to the pack house with you?” I asked, trying not to believe that was actually what she meant.She slowly nodded her head. “I need your words.” I demanded.“Yes, Alpha.” She replied, shivering.The anger in me didn't hesitate to surface, and it pained me that Anna took me for granted despite my warnings. I've realized that doing nothing had made her assume I was weak and strong only by my words, but today, I was going to prove to her that I meant every damn thing I said.I dashed to Anna, grabbing her neck tightly. Without looking at the young lady beside us, I said to her, “Leave us.”She left hurriedly, leaving just Anna and myself. I
ANNA'S POVFor two days, he effortlessly searched for her and yet, she was nowhere to be found. It gladdened my heart that I could finally breathe fresh air without having to see Olivia, or know that she was somewhere in the pack house sharing the same air I breathed.These few days, Rick didn't say a word to me. He's been acting like I was a total stranger to him, more like I wasn't even existing in his life. I wouldn't deny the fact that it does hurt me, but what can I do? As long as Olivia is out of our lives, I'm pretty much cool with it.He just returned from another failed search, and he was heading for his room. "Why can't you give up, you can never find her. She's gone, Rick, for good."He turned to look at me. "No, she is not gone. She's somewhere within the pack, and I'll surely find her."I laughed. "It's been two days and yet, there's been no progress. What makes you think you'll find her?""Because I can feel her, I can sense she is alive. So, do whatever you want to do,
RICK'S POVIt's been two days and I haven't found Olivia yet. I couldn't get myself to sleep, knowing she was out there, suffering in the hands of people who hated her. My efforts to find her have been in vain, I know lately I haven't been concentrating.My grudges for Anna had made it impossible for me to focus. Each second I felt this hurt in me, I knew Olivia was hurting. I could feel her pain, with that I knew she was somewhere within the pack.I could tell she was very much alive, and I knew she'd probably be hoping for me to save her. I just have to let go of my anger for Anna and focus on Olivia's safety. After I find her, I wouldn't mind Olivia making me promise her never to banish Anna, I'd have to take that drastic decision and end all these once and for all.She's done more than enough, and I couldn't keep tolerating such attitudes over and over again, and at the end, getting Olivia in trouble. So right now, I just have to calm down and think it through.I stopped pacing fo
