Becoming The Alpha's Lover 125
ARABELLA POVI woke up feeling better than most nights. This was the second day, and there was barely enough time to treat the woman who turned into a wolf from taking my drugs. What was her name again? I couldn’t even remember her fucking name. I stretched, then suddenly thought of James. We’d had a late-night discussion and talked about loads of crap, especially the part where he wanted to help me out with the treatment. That part wasn’t crap. That was hope. That was salvation. Jack was the best doctor to ever grace this earth. Even if people don’t remember him for his good deeds, I will. I’ll always remember that he was the one who coached me in this field, the one who literally gave me a helping hand when I was nothing. He was the closest thing I can call family right now.I washed my hair and showered as quickly as possible. He had promised to follow me to the hospital and examine the woman. This very part was crucial to my salvation, especially since I lied to everyone that I c

RHYS POVI turned around in my seat, my mind churning over the image over and over again. I couldn’t get it out of my head, and I couldn’t sleep either. The idea that Alpha Jack and Emma could be an item and even father children didn’t make sense to me. Not that he wasn’t her type—he was powerful, strong, and quite attractive and I’m not exactly sure what her types are—but for them to be an item when she already said they were cousins was just absurd.Hold on a minute. Now that I think about it, how likely are the chances that are types are the men in power? She’s always with the Alphas, just as she was with me. Did she only move to men more powerful than her? Okay, that was far-fetched and I just couldn’t imagine them together, no matter how hard I tried.Yet the image of them smiling at each other, holding each other, and hugging so tightly just won’t leave me alone…I jumped out of my seat, suddenly feeling hot. Were the children his? Were they? Gosh, I know I have no right to ques

RHYS POVI waited patiently in my car as I dialed the number of the nurse. Last night, Mia suddenly decided that she wanted to host Jack and Emma that very day. I was pleased; at least I’d get to see him and get his DNA too.The dinner had gone uneventful and tense. No one spoke for hours, only I and Jack conversed about the makings of our pack and the different troubles that came with it. They didn’t even stay up to an hour before Emma complained of a headache and Jack led her out. I wished I was the one doing the leading, taking her out, and holding her comfortably. I wished I could scream out my liking for her, but that would be unheard of. Mia commented about how this was the most boring dinner ever before retreating to her bedroom. I had the inkling suspicion that she didn’t like how I yelled to her about Bruno so she invited them to punish me. I would have to look at Emma all night while she studiously avoided my eyes and kept looking at Jack for comfort. I hated it.After the

ARABELLA POVI dropped my phone back into the pocket of my coat and stared into the restroom mirror. It happened that Rhys called me when I was having a little breakdown in the restroom. Jack had been trying for hours, yet nothing. Tomorrow was the deadline. It was fucking tomorrow. My head was spinning just from thinking about it. And then Rhys called and his voice soothed the storm inside of me… not until I heard his words.Now I was back into full-blown panic. What did he want? Jeez, why had he sounded like that, like the world was ending and he wanted me to go down with him? I thought of all the things that would have gone wrong, the things that would have made him call me and ask to see me just like that.I stared at my reflection for a while before picking up my phone to call Simon Walters. I don’t know if Rhys was deep into the investigation as he has claimed and had found out that I was hiding the guard. He sounded so disappointed, and now I was really worried. Rhys only sound

MIA POVWhen my phone rang, I glanced briefly at it before picking it. I knew who was calling before I placed it on my ear.“Diane. Have you got any good news for me?” I asked.“Yes,” she crooned on the phone. “Dr. Emma brought this new guy to the hospital—”“That’s Alpha James,” I said with a roll of my eyeballs.“Is he?” she gasped in delight. “Then you must like the surprise that I have packaged for you.”I stood up and walked aimlessly around my room, fingering this and that. “You have a surprise for me?”“Yes. After our chit-chat, of course.”“Of course. Now, what have you got on Dr. Emma?”“She’s been trying too hard to cure the patient but it’s impossible. They haven’t succeeded and she’s becoming frustrated. I expect that the patient will be dead in a few hours.”I stopped walking and placed a hand to my chest, delighted. Yet, no matter how happy I was, I needed to make sure that this dead would happen. Emma was always one step ahead of me, which I didn’t mind in the past unti

ARABELLA POVIt was midnight. I was bat shit scared and crazy. I stood in the patient room, out of options. Jack had joined me and went over his records three times in a row. We were running out of time, I knew it. He wanted to stay more and reassure me, but I honestly didn’t see any reason why we had to drag it out even further.“We have to stop,” I said to him. “There’s no use anymore Jack, let’s stop.”Jack turned away from the body. That’s what it was now, a body… or at least it would become that in a few hours.“We’ve tried everything,” I told him tiredly. “I’m tired. I can’t do this anymore, so I’ll just take the blame for it.”“You can’t do that,” Jack said. “Absolutely not, Arabella.”Calling me Arabella in the middle of my crises somehow made the moment intimate. He came close to me and cupped my face, then pressed his forehead to mine. Ever since he tried that earlier today, it seemed to calm me down and he seemed to want to keep up with it. our breath mingled while I saw my

ARABELLA POVMy mind was blank, focusing on the nothingness of my empty skull. I saw nothing for straight three minutes, before the nurse began to repeat her words as though recalling what I didn’t hear. While she recounted the mechanics of meeting the patient dead, I thought about the time and effort I had put into the whole thing, now even that was gone. Where was Jack when I needed him? Oh, right. I’d asked him to leave. I thought it was over, and so I asked him to leave.“She had already given up the ghost before you left the hospital,” the nurse continued to say. “I waited for a few minutes to try another revival method, but that was the last chance. She never came back after that.”I felt my chest constricting into itself. I looked like and probably felt like a ghost too. The patient is dead. The patient is dead.The patient is dead.“How could you let this happen?” I asked the nurse aloud. “I left her in your care. I was just going to take a rest, so how did this thing happen

ARABELLA POVIt was the noise of the crowd that woke me up. I yawned and stretched, realizing too late that my muscles were sore and cramped. It took me a minute to get the dizziness out of my head, and another long minute to stand.Damn, my whole body was aching in pain. When was the last time I was bent over like that and slept straight for an hour or two without moving? Was there enough time to do the stretches before going out there?I seriously considered the concept of doing some stretches and some core exercises before going out there, just to be agile. I realized again that it’d be futile because I was in my tightly covered work clothes that weren't flexible enough to stretch my muscles in. I groaned as I left my office, duly massaging the back of my neck so that at least it would cramp when I wanted to turn.I stopped by a water diffuser and downed three cups of water. It was a weekend; the sun would be up earlier than usual. That’s just how Saturdays usually are. You’re was

ARABELLA POV“I can’t believe you’re getting married,” Lily said.I turned away from the mirror to face her. “Do you think I could be potentially making a mistake?”Lily laughed and playfully slapped my arm. “Don’t be silly, Arabella. You thought about this for months. You even went through the painful process of telling everyone your identity.”I smiled at the memory of that. “Yeah, it went surprisingly well. People took it in pretty well.”“You know the one they took in the most? The arrest and public death of Mia.”My mood dampened just a bit. My half sister was killed two weeks ago and here I was, getting married to the man she was previously married to. Rhys asked me not to overthink it as he wasn’t even hers to begin with, and I was working towards that step. I turned to Lily again.“Do you think James and Jenny would make it? They promised that they would show up today and they’re not here yet.”Lily slapped her forehead in embarrassment. She’s been slapping a lot of things lat

RHYS POVI stood outside the boys’ quarters, thinking of how best to go over this. If Jack wanted us to talk about whatever he wanted to talk about, then this was a big secret opener. I was dying to see just how much secret he was willing to uncover, and that included Mia.She was dancing when I stepped into her room. As always, it was open and inviting, as if she was waiting for the day when I would finally accept her. Was she expecting that day to be today? Had she done all this just because she wanted me?Yes, dumb ass. Yes.I ignored my wolf voice and cleared my throat. She stopped dancing and smiled brightly at me, as if I was the sunshine at the end of her tunnel.“You’re here,” she said, wiping her brows with a face towel.“And you’re dancing,” I commented. “What’s the occasion?”“You’ve confined me to this mean, smelly place and I have to get used to it, Rhys.” She gulped down a glass of water. “The fact still remains that I’m your wife and I will be until I sign the divorce p

ARABELLA POVI’ve never had so many things happen to me in the space or hours or minutes but it was definitely happening now. First my children gets kidnapped, then after 24 long, excruciating hours, I go to get them and discover they had somehow managed to free themselves. Then I stupidly went into to the cabin instead of running away with them only to get kidnapped again and have a gun pointed at me.“Your children was a handful,” the first man said. “That is not surprising. I see now where they got it from. You do know we can’t leave you alive after this?”I immediately clasped my hands together in prayer. “Please, I’m begging you with the almighty name of the moon goddess, please let us go. I swear I’ve packed all my things! I’m ready to leave now.”He shook his head. “You’ve seen our face, lady. I wish there was some other way to not kill you—”The door burst open, forcing a startled scream out of me. The kidnapper in front of me trembled. I angled my body to the side and shifted

ARABELLA POV“What are you going to do now?” Lily asked me. “Do you have any plans on how to tackle this?”I paused my restless pacing and turned to her. “I’m burnt out, Lily. I don’t know what to do! I’ve tried to think of every possible thing but nothing. Rhys isn’t even helping matters. He thinks Mia is innocent simply because she hasn’t left the house in days!”“And the kidnappers want you to leave?”“Yes! They clearly said no money, that I should just leave. Who else would not want money and ask me to leave?”She cocked her head at me as both of our mind went to Mia. She was the only sworn enemy that I had that would dare though my children and go Scot free. Thinking about it made by blood boil. I wanted to grab her hair and force her head into a hot oven…“Okay, you’re making that face again, “ Lily said. “We just need to think about what to do next, Arabella. I know this must come as a shock…”“It’s quite the shock, Lily.”“But we have better things to do like waiting for the k

Arabella PovI realized I was vibrating with fear and doom. I needed to calm down, but the thought of my children going through the most traumatic experience of their life was chilling to the bone. Why was it only them that was kidnapped out of all the children coming to school? The kidnappers had technically been aiming for me and my children. I glanced at Mia. It was her. It had to be her. There were no other logic asides the fact that Mia has a vindictive aura towards me and she was not afraid to use them.I turned my back to them and spoke into the phone. “What do you want, please? Can you just let my children go, please? I’ll do anything.”‘Of course you’ll do as you’re told, Dr. Emma, or you’ll never see your children again.”I shivered once more, bracing myself as I asked the most important question. “What do you want then? Is it money? How much would you need to let my kids go?”“You insult us, Dr. Emma. We don’t need your money. We only need you to do one thing and we’ll retu

ARABELLA POVI was very upset, and rightfully so too. I thought about Rhys every day for five days, mostly wondering if he didn’t want to let Mia go. Did he trust her enough to be sure that she hadn’t killed his father? If only I had enough time then to pressure the guy more so he would tell me the truth about Mia. She certainly had more wicked things up her sleeve and I was very desperate to reveal them to the world.“Dr. Emma, you’ve wiped that post four times in a row now,” a nurse said.I jerked back into consciousness and realized that I was in the hospital, wiping a patient’s wrist over and over so I coke inject their antibiotic for them. Murmuring my apologies, I quickly gave them their dose and stood up.“You look tired,” the nurse who had called my attention said. “You can go home; I’ll cover your shift for you. I’m not sure I want to see you dozing off the rest of your days here.”“I’m fine,” I saidSpacing out. I was constantly spacing out because I was concerned for Rhys an

ARABELLA POVI was really bumped and hyped with energy when I took Bruno back to the car. He asked load of questions about why he wasn’t allowed to see the prisoner and I said something in the lines of how his ears were too little to hear all the important details. It would really sick if he had to hear from a strange prisoner that his mother was involved in a crime.Once I left him in the car and locked it, I ran back to the cell. My heart was drumming with excitement. I imagined that prisoner holding Mia’s picture and announcing that she was the one who had made the order. Oh, that would make so much sense! However, when I joined Rhys minutes later, I noticed that he was silent and now holding the picture, having collected it back from the Rogul. The Rogul was snacking heavily on the food I brought, which I now every much regret since the mood wasn’t what I expected it to be.“What did he say?” I asked Rhys, a note of desperation in my voice. “He was holding Mia’s picture, right?”

ARABELLA POVI had a plan. A grand, beautiful plan. Rhys was going to be here anytime soon and he would be solely against it, which means I have to be wise towards it. I knocked once on the children’s door before opening it. They were laughing and walking about, looking for the perfect fit.“Mom!” Delinda cried when she saw me. “Do you think I should wear a dress to the park? I can’t seem to find the perfect fit.”I smiled reassuringly as I remained at the door. “You don’t need to stress to much, my darling. You guys should all wear shorts and shirt—you can wear a skirt, Delinda—and carry a backpack too.”Damon frowned. “A back pack?”“Yeah. It’ll make you looo smart, like a professor.”I knew they would accept readily to what I said, yet I waited on high tension. When they finally agreed to dress like professors and carry their backpack, I grinned. Earlier today in the morning, I came across Bruno’s backpack and I slipped in Mia’s picture in it. At first when I saw her picture lying

MIA POVI paced around my room, completely restless. He hasn’t been sleeping at home lately and now Bruno was gone. When he was brought back from rhe hospital, Rhys took him away and said he wanted to take him to a recovery center. How long do recovery centers usually take? Did Arabella put this idea into his head?Oh, Arabella, that wench!I laughed wildly as I continued to pace around. She thought she won this time, didn’t see? She was the lowly, stupid omega in the past, and now she’s come back a bit chic doctor who’s trying to steal my man? How are people not violent towards this act?! Do I need to start an uproar? She’s not going to win against me. The deadly wench is not going to win me.“You do not get to have the last laugh!” I roared loudly, and then fell to my bedroom floor in a beep.My hair was a mess. With everything going awry, I haven’t give my much thought to how untidy I’d been. That was fine; it didn’t matter what I looked like. I would have every single thing I’d ev
