ARABELLA POVIt was judgment day. It felt weird thinking about it that way but I couldn’t help it. An hour ago, a few guards had practically pushed me out of the cell to an upturned stage. It was the meeting place of the townsmen and women, come to decide my fate. Rhys looked at me once, and then away. He refused to meet my eyes after that, which was embarrassing to me. I knew if asked him to leave and never come back, but to see that he was actually keeping to it was depressing.The place was stacked with people, including the family of the deceased. Mia was sitting at the front row so she could snap support to her husband, even though the said husband was doing everything else but attending to her returning her waves. “Take her out!” Someone in the crowds screamed. “Take her out now!”They had meant to kill me. They would have done it if Rhys was not there. His presence softened the blow. They can’t attack me straight up when their Alpha was there, so they settled for screaming at
Becoming The Alpha's Lover 141
RHYS POV I waited until the crowd had dispersed before I turned to Arabella… Emma… whatever her name was. It confused me to the core, how so easily I could place her. If only she had not lied from the very beginning… if only she had not revealed her true identity to me even after lying…. If only she could cover her tracks well so I wouldn’t discover this deceit. Nevertheless, I couldn’t very well leave her after the statement she made earlier. She had been looking directly at Mia when she spoke about framing her for murder. “I’ll see the prisoner back. You stay here and oversee the rest,” I said to the soldiers as I led Arabella back to the detention center. She followed me silently. When we got to the detention center, I stopped in front of the cell so she wouldn’t go right in “We need to talk,” I said to her. She looked up with a dry smile. “What do you want to talk about, Alpha Rhys?” I ignored her jab and continued anyway. “Back at the restaurant when we saw that wolf, you

Third point of view.Diane was in a good mood. Everything was working out for her and soon, she’d get what she wanted. Who knew that working with the Luna had so many benefits? She was giddy with excitement just thinking about it. She cleaned up the theater and headed to another ward. The patient wasn’t in yet, which meant she still had time to herself. Not enough, but okay nevertheless.The door opened and a nurse came in. Diane looked back and recognized Susan as one of her colleagues. She was pushing in a sterilized tray for the next patient. They do this whenever a patient has left the room; taking time to sterilize every single piece of equipment before the cleaners can handle the floor.“Oh you’re here,” Susan said as she arranged the cart. “Did you hear what’s happening?”“No, I didn’t hear anything,” Diane answered, bored.She didn’t know why everyone was trying to make conversation with her in this hospital. If only they knew how important she was, how she was her new favorit
Becoming The Alpha's Lover Chapter 143
Third point of view.In all of her wildest dreams, Susan never expected that the murderer would be a medical personnel, let alone a mere nurse, let alone someone who she’d been speaking to just now. She had forgotten her phone, as always. She came back for it only to eavesdrop into a conversation she never should have heard. She felt disgusted and mad. Disgusted that it was her colleague, mad that she even denied it! How horrible could people be to kill others and frame another for it? She was utterly disgusted.Diane turned around and looked at her, then frowned slightly. “Just how much of my conversation did you hear?” She asked.Susan scowled at her. “Just enough to know that you’re the culprit and you’re working with someone!” Her voice rose at the end, so Diane waved a hand at her to hush her up“People will head you,” she said quietly. “Susan, this isn’t what you think, okay?”Susan laughed sarcastically. “I’m not dumb, Diane. I know exactly what I heard and what I think. Who a

ARABELLA POVThat nurse was not the culprit. I knew this deep within me. There was no way Susan would have pulled it off with Mia. She was too nice, too cool, too morale to do that. How had they pinned it on her just because another nurse said she was the one? To me, that particular nurse was the prime suspect. Jack had done his best, really, but it was only so much he could take. I could see the exhaustion in his eyes; he probably wanted to be home and done with all this bullshit. “Dr. Emma, can you hear us?”My attention reverted to Rhys. We were standing in front of the hospital once again, the townsfolk and the people gathered to hear us out. When he’d come for me that morning, I had silently followed with no opposition, thinking it would end badly. Who knew we’d be talking about discovering the culprit instead of deciding my sentence?“Yes, I can hear you,” I said solemnly. “We’re deeply sorry for everything,” Rhys continued. “We shouldn’t have been consumed by our anger and ca

ARABELLA POV I gripped Lily’s hands and held it to my chest. “How have you been? Did anyone torture you in my absence?” She laughed and waved me away. “You’re so unserious. Nothing like that happened. Just a few weird things but I’m fine.” “Lily.” “What? I’m only sorry that I didn’t get to visit you. I was kind of occupied with several things.” “Don’t worry about it, Lily. I’m out and fine now, so there’s no need to mop around looking like that.” She smiled at me, but it was odd. She looked too quiet and calm about the whole thing. The Lily I know would have asked me tons of questions. The Lily I know would have visited the hospital grounds and marveled at my release. Something was definitely up with her, but I didn’t want to pressure her. She’ll surely tell me with time if she wants to. Lily smiled again and touched the side of her hair. “Uhm… have you spoken to Rhys since he released you?” Was this what was bothering her? “I haven’t spoken to him yet,” I answered. “I don’t w

ARABELLA POV “Wait, wait, wait…” I said urgently. My brain needed to catch up with what he was saying. “Tell Alpha Rhys? Why do you have to tell him anything?” Simon’s breathing sounded harsh on the phone like he was running somewhere. It sounded like he called me while he was in the middle of an urgent task. “What are you doing, Simon?” I asked. “I’m halfway to the palace. I’m going to meet the Alpha—” “Are you crazy? Stop right there!” He stopped, stunned at the commanding sound of my voice. “It’s stupid to just barge in there with your claims,” I said to him, trying to control my rising heartbeat. “You only have the information, not the evidence. Besides, even if you only have the information, how sure are you that it’s true?” Simon kept quiet, his breathing reducing to a steady rhythm. I dropped the glass of water in my hand lest I broke it into shards. “Listen, Simon, I know you’re desperate and you want to clear your name—” “It’s more than that,” Simon interrupted. “He

ARABELLA POVWe looked at each other for long moments. Jack must have seen the disappointed look on my face because he immediately rushed to cover his sentences.“That’s not what I mean… I’m sorry, that just came out of my mouth. I shouldn’t have said that at all.”I shook my head and signaled that he stopped talking. It wasn’t his fault, nor was it Lily’s. Everyone who knew about my history with Rhys always threw the bomb of me loving him again, which truly hurts. But then again, they could have had little fate in me.“So how do you want to do this?’ Jack asked urgently. “You need my help, right? What do you need me to do?”I shook my head at him. “You don’t have to help if you’re not interested in it.”“Arabella, I shouldn’t have said that. I’m truly sorry, honestly. I’m just worried for you.”“That’s why I said you should not bother.”He came around the table and stood next to me. “There’s no way I won’t be worried or bothered when it comes to you, Arabella. Just tell me what the p

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
