MIA POV

The ride back home was even more tense than the ride to the venue. I was very upset. Why hadn’t he defended me? Why did he make himself out to be a saint and I the bully? Why wasn’t he even putting any effort in this? I wanted to bring up the argument in the car, but I was so appalled that I decided to let it be for the time being. I would pour out all my anger when we got home.

We got home in the next twenty minutes. The servant was laying up our food at the dining, just as Rhys asked them to when he called home. We both went straight to the dining and dived right into the food. I was famished, yet my anger lingered behind.

I realized that he was going to remain silent if I let him, so I decided to bring it up myself.

“What happened back there, Rhys?” I asked.

He looked up at me from his dish. “What?”

“Back at the party, what happened there? Why didn’t you stand up for me, fight for me?”

He looked surprised that I even asked such a question. “Mia, the best thing to have told

    ARABELLA POVI smiled to myself for the umpteenth time. This was a big win for me; one of the biggest win I would have, in fact. The look on her face, my gosh! The number of times I would love to repeat that scene over and over just to see the look on her face!I smiled contentedly and walked around the kitchen, putting the dirty plates and cups into the dishwasher.I have great plans, and boy would I love to show those plans one by one. This was just a step to the so many things I wanted to do. With Lily by my side and now aware of my identity, she would be of great help. I paused mid air, reminding myself to talk to Jenny about the DNA test results. It’s been two days since I spoke to her last and I swear she said she’ll have it ready the very next day. The extra two days that occurred without me having the results made me antsy; I would have to hit her up later and demand for it.“Mommy?”I jumped. Then I turned, hissing as I soon realized that it was Damon. This son of mine seemed

    ARABELLA POV“What did you just say?” He asked.“Lily,” I repeated slowly. “You know, the one that’s Arabella’s friend?”His hand shook a little, and then he concealed it. I frowned slightly when he didn’t reply to me.“Don’t you know her?” I asked. “I swear that she said she’s been in your proximity before.”Rhys held up both his palms in the air, trying to understand what was going on. Finally he asked:“What are you doing speaking to Lily?”I shrugged nonchalantly. “She’s my new friend; she seems to be the only person who’s really honest, you know? Though we haven’t spoken much.”“What did you two speak about? Matter of fact, you know that associating with Lily will only make Mia upset.”I arched my eyebrow, making him see the sarcastic expression on my face. Rhys chuckled and continued.“That isn’t what I mean, Emma. All I’m saying is, Mia is enemies with a few people and I think you should lay off those people.”“Oh please, this is bullshit.I opened the back door of my bedroom a

    MIA POVI desperately wanted to burst into that house, maybe break down the door in the process, but I already promised Craig that I was going to wait until he arrived. I don’t know why he was so adamant about seeing me, considering that I had chased my husband here and needed his advice on whether I should attack or not.“Do not attack, wait there for me so I can access the situation for you, you hear?” Craig had demanded a few minutes ago.I don’t know how long I would have to wait for him to appear, but hopefully not long enough. It’s just so tiring trying to keep up with a lot of things… especially Rhys. The hood of my car bumped and I shrieked. Craig slipped his hand by the open window, opened the car, and slid into the seat. “You can’t just scare me like that,” I said to him, exasperated and breathing harshly. He smiled charmingly at me. “Mia, you’re not some lady, you can handle anyone who tries to hurt you.”“Except for Alpha,” I bit out.We both simultaneously looked at th

    ARABELLA POVEver since Mia caught Rhys here, I haven’t seen him. I won’t say I was missing him, but we had a lot of unfinished discussions that I would like us to conclude. There were so many things I wanted to tell him, so many questions I wanted to ask.Sighing, I looked around the empty house and tried to find something to keep my hands busy. The triplets were at school so the house was literally quiet and in order. I wish they were not; I would love to keep my hands busy so I won’t have to think about him. And it isn’t like I was falling in love, but I would just love, love to get to finish up that conversation about his selfishness.Sighing, I rubbed my hands on my face and went on to pick my phone. It felt like ages since I last spoke to Jenny. What the hell was keeping those test results, anyways? She should have sent it to be or better yet, texted it to me. Filled with a new found purpose, I dialed her number.Jenny picked immediately, her voice breathless and tired when she

    ARABELLA POV I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me. It was pretty much simple; just open it wide arcs and let me down there then bury me back. Mia came closer, looking at me in such an incredulous way that it was laughable. She had never expected that I would be the one who turned up; that she would see me. It would be more funny and understandable if I knew what the hell she was talking about.“What do you mean, Mia?”She laughed. It was loud, humorless and filled with pain. I didn’t realize how painful heartbreak could be until I heard her laughter.“So you’re just going to pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about, huh?” she said. “Tell me Emma, when did you have the time to plan this mischief when you spend all your time with me?”“What mischief? I have no idea of what you’re talking about!”She scoffed. “Are you going to lie now that you didn’t sabotage my party?”“I did not sabotage any party of yours,” I said, folding my arms under my breasts.It’s not like she’s g

    MIA POVI was angry. Furious. Upset. I was all shade of red and I wanted my own pound of flesh. How did it even get to this point of no return? I wanted my pound of flesh, period! Emma must be absolutely crazy if she thinks she can hold that little secret over her. How had she heard of it, by the way? Who told her? Who let the cat out of the bag? The only person who knew about our secret relationship was me and the person I was in with—Craig.On that note, I brought out my phone to call him. Perhaps if he was here it would help me think and strategize better. This way, I would know exactly what to do since it has become clear that Emma wasn’t on my side anymore.Craig picked his call on the second ring. “Hello?”“I need you here right now,” I demanded.“I can’t,” he said. “I’m very busy right now with the Alpha. Let’s do this some other time.”“I need you right now, Craig! Come here right now!”“Okay, okay, Jeez.” He sighed. “Is anything the matter? You sound stressed.”“Just come her

    ARABELLA POVIt’s been five days since I last saw Mia. Five good days. Apart from the fact that my life has been good ever since her overbearing self disappeared from it, I can’t say the same for her. I’m absolutely sure she loathes me by now; maybe even more than I could ever imagine.Shrugging, I washed my hands off in the hospital sink and raised the overalls over my head, placing it on the head board and walking straight into the powder room. Should I shower here or not? I could really use the shower; it was nice to not smell in goo, blood, puke and fluid.Trashing all odds, I removed my clothes and had a quick bath. It was a small shower stall, but it would help greatly… and it did, really. By the times I was done and leaving the stall, I met another nurse coming on.“Oh, you’re here!” he said.“Yes,” I smiled wearily. “I’m here.”“Great, because the Alpha is looking for you in your office.”He went around me and got into the stall. I stared at the closed door for a long time, wo

    ARABELLA POVI quickly adjusted my skirt back the minute I found my orgasm. This wasn’t supposed to be like this; sneaking around in my office and sleeping with the Alpha of this pack ho was also married to the Luna of the pack. While it was fun, it was also forbidden because apart from the fact that I wasn’t supposed to morally do this again with Rhys, it was also a flaw to my revenge plans. I can’t continue humping a guy and letting him touch me intimately if I was gonna exact my revenge on him.Sighing, I went to the door and unlatched it. Anyone could have caught us together because the door isn’t even supposed to be locked in the first place. If Mia finds out in this early stage that I was getting on with her husband…“You have to leave,” I said to Rhys. “Please go, we’re done here.”He smiled, as if knowing my harsh words were just a layer of my true feelings. “Yes, but before I leave, I have something for you.”“I don’t want anything from you, Rhys.”“You’ll want this, trust me

    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

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
