Melissa (Gabriella's POV)I sat still while they discussed what fate would befall me. Startled, when the man he called Kirk came to the gate with Frin. The alpha walked away, leaving those men with me, a huge aura pouring from Kirk’s body.“You heard what he said,” Frin said as he entered the cell, jiggling keys following his hands as he walked to where they locked the chains. “I’d prefer if she died than check for things that would say the same thing I’ve already said,” Kirk said as he leaned on the bars of my cell. “You can only do as the Alpha said. You can’t take matters into your hands when he has decided something already,” Frin said as the chains clattered to the floor before he moved towards me, unlocking the chain and leaving the cuff on my wrist. Kirk scoffed as he opened the gate with Frin lifting me to my feet.“You didn’t need to lie to him about remembering anything,” Lyra said as they led me out of the dungeon. Frin took the front while Kirk remained at the back. It c
Princess Sheila’s POV The journey home was quieter than I expected. Lisa remained quiet the whole time, refusing to tell me the details of what transpired between her and Alfredo’s wolf.“What did he ask of you?” I asked the wolf that had turned mute with me, hoping to get a glimpse of their discussion if not all of it.“He did what we discussed last night,” Lisa said. Her answer sounded like she didn’t want me to ask about it.I agreed with my thought as I stared through the tinted glass. The blue sky was tinted ash by the dark windows, to white fluffy clouds. With a low bow, a guard opened the door for me when we got home. My heels clicked on the ground as I stepped on the mosaic of a rose in front of our house.My father stood, a smile on his face as he welcomed me home. He still looked young with his stubble of almost golden beards on his chin. I wondered why I never got his genes for his golden hair, instead, it was my mother’s silky, black hair.“How did it go?” He asked as he
Melissa’s (Gabriella’s Pov)I followed as he led the way to his mansion. It stood some distance from the dungeon, and I couldn't tell what reasons he had. He liked to walk as he gazed around at intervals, muttering words I couldn’t hear with the nonchalance of a child who had yet to see the world. It proved difficult to believe that someone such as him who would rip your head from your neck; if not given ample reasons, would gaze around like that.“What are we going to do now, Gabriella?” I knew Lyra wanted to make fun of me as she asked that question with my new name. “We’ll see what he has to offer us in his castle and what we can offer him,” I said as I stole glances at him He looked occupied, even with the man who followed us.“That should be his beta,” I said to myself as he followed us. Even as Kirk and Frin dispersed to their station, he didn’t.“I’m sorry you had to walk with me, and the time you spent in the dungeon. It was bad of me,” Alpha Farrell said.I didn’t realize w
Princess Sheila’s POV The house felt boring as I walked out of my room. No dad or mum, just the sound of the TV talking about the recent happenings in the human world. Our identities were secret to them. They wouldn’t know if we attacked them or not. “Where’s dad?” I asked as I turned around the living room searching for him. I knew I left him there some minutes ago before I went to my room.His absence was normal, but he remained at home, waiting for me to come home. It was unlikely he would leave just at the moment I saw him. I walked to his room, turning open the door to be greeted by his absence.“You said you wanted to go to the garden, and I wanted to take that opportunity to roam the woods for a while,” Lisa’s complaints filled my inside as I searched for someone who could take care of himself. Heaving a sigh as I turned away; I walked towards the door. The guards at the door made a little bow as I passed between them. “Have you seen my father?” I couldn’t resist the urge t
Alfredo’s Pov It’s been a week since my engagement and all I’ve done was sleep, eat, and repeat the routine. Not even have a chance to run the pack, as my mother had taken over everything without letting me in on some.“You should let her know how you feel,” Dex said as I threw off the blanket from my body, pushing my feet to the ground.I let out a yawn while I stretched my hands to the sky. Done with it, I was on my feet, moving to the bathroom when I fell to the bed again. I only needed to remain in my study or leave the room and some maid would come clean the house.“Even if I let her know what I feel. I doubt she would let me in on any of those meetings she has with those old men that call themselves elders,” I said, my voice muffled by the bed I placed my head into.“She wouldn’t know about it if you do not tell her,” Dex’s words were enough motivation as I pushed myself out of bed, strolling into the bathroom like the royalty I was.Finished with everything I needed to do. I s
Alfredo’s POV “I came here to discuss the wedding date as I wasn’t present during the engagement,” Alpha Brian said, his eyes darting from my mother and back to me. “I understand the engagement to unite both our families and pack, but we can’t keep it hanging out for long.”If this was what responsibilities were, I was going to ace it; I thought after hearing what Alpha Brian said.“You speak the truth, Alpha Brian. This is a matter of increasing our strength while fostering a good relationship with other people,” Mother answered him. I could see her drum her fingers on the table, although subtly. If you had spent as much time with her as I had. You would know her fiddling finger was her trying to think. It was only setting a date for a wedding. What more could it imply? “More reason we have to set a date early,” Alpha Brian said. “What date would you prefer it would be, Alfredo?”I froze in my thoughts as I had not expected to be placed in the equation as soon as this. “Anything my
Melissa (Gabriella’s Pov) I walked into the room as Aiden opened the door. It differed from the one I stayed in at Silver Rose's pack. A big change from the room of a worker to what looked like the room of an alpha. “Ms Gabrielle, if you would let me call you that,” Aiden said as he stood at the door, watching me look around the room in amazement. “You can call me that,” I said as I twirled around to look at him. He had a carefree look on his face like he never bothered why I was there or what reasons brought me. He wanted to do his job and leave as soon as he could. “This would be your room for the main time and if you don’t like this room, you can tell me and I’ll take you to another room that can match your preference,” he said in the most formal tone I’ve ever heard. Like he didn’t want to step on my toes with his word.“This is enough, Aiden, right?” He nodded his head to my question about his name. “I’ll be okay here.”“That is alright, Ms Gabriella. For any other thing you
Melissa (Gabriella’s Pov) “Dad, Mom. I found a stranger in our territory yesterday and you would not believe what I did.”Those were the words I heard as I followed the rabbit hole or stairs rather, ending at the top of the room where I saw him on his knees. He didn’t seem to notice that I was standing at that spot. “Especially you, father. I know you believe in eradicating anyone you found in our territory who didn’t enter without our permission, but this is my time now. Done with the era of bloodshed; I think I am done with that now, considering the amount of blood these hands have spilled, sending multiple to their deaths because I did not trust them.”His words continued to flow unhinged. They made me feel like he tried to talk to him should his parents have long gone from this world.“At least one soul is safe from both my hands and those you’ve trained to kill on sight. I know you're disappointed in me, Father, but this is my decision,” he said as he stood up. With his hands i
