Arthur's POVI hesitated at the warrior's words but then I agreed. “Fine but you better make it quick.”We walked outside and then the warrior began to speak.“Gamma you're not going to believe me when I tell you this but the Beta is dead.”I froze up immediately, “What do you mean? Zaria is clearly alive.”“When we were at the battle front, I was trying to find a leeway so I hid somewhere and found the Beta get stabbed by some woman who I'm guessing is a witch.”I felt ridiculed by the warrior, how could he say such words? It didn't make any sense at all. In my opinion, Zaria was just mortified by going to the war front which was why she was probably acting weird. There was nothing wrong with her like I was thinking.“Look,” I told the warrior, “Don't say such rubbish to me again, if you do, I'll report you to your superior.” I said and started to walk away. The warrior gave me a sad look. “B-but,” I could tell that he wanted to say more but I ignored him.“Gamma please wait a bit l
Arthur's POV“Go get my new mother, father. I am telling you.”Tears of joy streamed down my face and I suddenly felt like things were coming together for me.“Oh, you're such a cute little…” I walked over to my son and pulled him into a hug. From now on, we would finally have a family. No more would we be divided or treated in isolation and most importantly, my son wouldn't have to grow alone. He'd have a strong woman to be his mother. I wondered if Zaria North would be pleased with me enough to take my son as hers. I really hoped she would.“Thank you so much, son.” I said. Him speaking to me almost gave me like the strength to continue to push on and to never give up.“I'm grateful for you, my son. I really am.”“Alright, that's enough.” My son pushed me away from his body after a while. “I'd rather continue painting than let you embarrass me with a hug. “You should also spend the extra time trying to court mom rather than get emotional with me in my room.”I pulled away from my so
Arthur's POVWe both headed to my truck and then drove to town. I expected that we would engage in more conversation but that wasn't what happened. But although there wasn't much engagement in our conversation, I enjoyed Zaria's company.Once we finally got to the shop where army gear were sold, I was excited. The shopkeeper approached us and Zaria took hold of the conversation.“How much is an army gear,”“Ma'am our shop has six types. If you don't mind, could you come with me to take a look at it in the storage room?”“Yes,” I answered and walked in the shop with the shopkepper and Zaria. Inside the shop there were multitudes of gears that looked so beautiful and customised.The shopkeeper started introducing the gears to us and then he explained their usages and how much they were worth. After learning these things, I was content because we had achieved our goals for the day which meant that we could spend the remainder of time we had left on other things.As Zaria and I walked ou
Arthur's POVThe next day I was excited that I went to my office to work fo clear up my schedule for the day. I didn't know why I got a positive answer from Zaria but I sure was glad that the answer I got from her was positive.“How have you been?” One of the warriors asked me once they were finally in my office.“Good. What's the latest gist about the warriors?” I looked at the warrior closely for the first time, it was then that I realized that he was a familiar face. He was the one who told me that nonsense about Zaria.“Boss, you have to listen to me.”I sighed. “If it's about that nonsense that you said to me that day then I don't believe you. Get out of my office, I have some work to get to.” I said.“Please Gamma, you might be letting the enemy into our camp. I just came to inform you that I see unfamiliar faces mingle with the rest of us. In Deep into the woods, we warriors know each other's faces but I haven't met anyone like I'm seeing, before.”“Then you haven't mingled ha
Zaria's POV“You look so beautiful, Zaria.” Arthur's son told me and I smiled while nodding, “Thank you.” Then I showed him the ring on my ring finger. “Your father and I are about to get married soon.”He nodded, “I know.”“You know?”“Yes. My father has been stuck up on you from a very long time ago. About time you finally picked up the glasses and tie the knot, you two.”I smiled. Good thing Arthur was stuck up on me that he even let me be alone with his son. Others could call that love but I would call it recklessness. He didn't look at me well enough to know my hidden intentions, so it was his fault that I was doing this to him. He brought all this trouble upon himself. Oh what a pity it was that his son was dying young.“So what do you do after work?” Arthur’s son walked around Zaria and she answered. “I paint.”Arthur's son smiled, “You do? Me too!”‘Even better!’ Zaria thought to herself as the boy walked towards her with a smile on his face.“I would like to see a painting o
Alexa's POVAfter hearing the sound, I rushed to Arthur son's room with Martha and some more people.After realizing the situation after a couple of actions unfolded in front of my eyes, I was filled with a lot of emotions that I couldn't quite cover. Anger, sadness, etc.“What do I do about this?” I asked myself internally as Arthur started to slap himself over and over again.“This is all my fault,” he repeated to himself over and over again which made my heart race.“i should have believed the warrior who told me the truth about Zaria,” Arthur said.“The truth about Zaria?” I questioned and that was when I heard a sound from Zaria. I looked at her and saw her sit up on the floor.“What is going on?” She yawned.The moment she saw Arthur son's dead body, she exploded into tears.“What is going on? Arthur, your son is…” Zaria said, and broke into tears. Arthur looked at Zaria with a dirty eye and said, “How dare you, Zaria?”Zaria stood up on her feet and looked at Arthur. “What the
Alexa's POV“I don't know who you are but you should not be talking to the Alpha like that,” Alpha Nate said to Phillip causing me to settle down onto my chair and look at them. I was tired and all the day's hectic work was finally catching up to me.“I’m sorry for talking to the Alpha like that but it's the truth. You can't just throw my sister in prison without knowing the truth!”“The truth is that she killed a little boy!” I snapped, feeling really annoyed about the situation.“Alexa, calm down.” Alpha Nate told me.“Okay. I will.” I said even though I was shaking internally.Alpha Nate led Phillip outside my office and I was left in my office. Although I could still hear their conversation outside.“You have no right to speak about the Alpha badly no matter what. Secondly, you're not her mate so don't say such rubbish to her, it's not funny.”“I’m her mate.”“Impossible.” Phillip said out loud.“It's true, why else do you think that I'm in her office, discussing with her.”My jaw
Alexa's POVMy scream attracted the entirely of the pack members and once they had seen what happened, they took Phillip to the clinic while I went to my office to find out If what Phillip had said about Alpha Nate was right and when I got to my son I saw that most of the files had disappeared.I was angry at this so I invited the warriors to surround Deep into the woods and find Alpha Nate.I still couldn't believe that Alpha Nate would betray me. Just when I thought he was on my side to help me deal with what I'd seen in the hands of Zaria North, then he betrayed me himself?I sighed, not knowing how I would ever be able to deal with this. Who the hell were the shadow Wolves and why was it so easy for them to get people to betray me? I didn't understand why.I went to the clinic where Phillip was because I needed more information as to what the hell really transpired between those two.I stayed in the room untill the next day when Phillip's eyes fluttered open.I got up from the cha
