Becoming The Alpha's Lover Twenty-Eight
Arabella’s POV “Is it Jack?” I asked her. She looked at me with tears in her eyes “Yes” I was stunned when she admitted this. Immediately, I started to wonder what Jack could have said or done to make her sad to the point that she cried profusely. Jack is a good man. Two of them are as close as two peas in a pod so what could have gone wrong? “What happened between you two?” I asked her. “He-” she opened her mouth to continue but closed it and shook her head “It doesn’t matter” “Come on, you can tell me” She looked at the floor “It’s stupid” “Don’t say that. There has to be a valid reason for why you were upset” “Fine” she sighed “He said he doesn’t love me” The words hung heavy in the air as soon as she said them. For a second, all I could hear was the sound of my own heartbeat. I knew Jenny loved Jack. Even a blind man would see it. I assumed he liked her too. I’m surprised to hear her say this. “He said what?” I shrieked “Wait…hold on. Jenny, you’re gonna have to sta

Alpha Rhys’ POV“What advice would you give to newlyweds out there?” the interviewer asked us “We’d like to hear your advice because everyone is surprised that you guys are so young and busy yet you manage to make it work. What’s the secret?”“Well…” I started “I advise that you should be determined to make it work no matter what”Mia nodded “Yes. Marriage is a lifetime commitment”“Yes” I kissed her hand “My wife is the best”“Awww” Mia cooed “I love you”“I love you more, honey”The truth is I don’t love her. Anyone who is close to us can tell this. We both know that our marriage is just for show. We just want to prove to people that we’re making it work when in reality, our marriage from the onset has been a wrong decision, though we try to stay together because of our mate bond. I know for a fact that Mia would be mad at me for kissing her hand. To the interviewer, she’s smiling and happy but I know her better than that. I know her well enough to know that the smile she’s putting

Alpha Rhys’ POVI looked at her “What if she isn’t dead?”“What?!” Mia shrieked.Damn it! I actually thought I said that statement in my head. I can’t believe I said it out loud. Mia is definitely going to throw a fit now. Ever since Arabella died, it was as if her name was a forbidden word not to be said. Mia never wants to hear the name of her sister, not even as a joke or as a memory.I on the other hand cannot deny that I think of Arabella sometimes. I’m certain that the rough patch I’m going through with my mate is because of the bad way I treated her.I usually ask myself if she could still be alive, even though I literally saw her dead body years ago. I wish she was alive so I can make amends. Maybe then the moon goddess will finally have mercy on me and make me happy.“What the hell did you just say?” Mia shrieked.I ran my hands over my face. I’ve been avoiding a fight with her but at this point, it’s inevitable. There’s no doubt that she’s going to bark at me.“What do you

Mia point of view I stormed into the bedroom in fury. Craig followed closely behind me. He shut the door quietly as we came in. I paced down the room as my annoyance increased. I can’t remember the last time I got this angry. Alpha Rhys sure knows how to step on my toes. “How dare he!” I screamed “How dare he treat me like a girl who’s begging for his attention? I’m his wife. Has he forgotten that?” “You need to calm down,” Craig said softly. When a woman is angry, ‘calm down’ are two words she wouldn’t like to hear. “Calm down?!” I shrieked “You want me to calm down? Did you see what he did to me? It’s easy for you to say. You and everyone else have no idea what I’m going through in this marriage” Craig came closer to me and placed his hands on my shoulders. “I know that I’m not aware of anything but I can if you let me,” he said “You know you can always talk to me” Craig’s calm demeanor was helping a little. He’s doing such a good job at calming me down but my blood is sti

Alpha Rhys’ POVAfter putting Bruno to sleep, I decided to stay in the living room to calm myself down. I was still a bit riled up due to the fight Mia and I had.I feel bad. Things between Mia and I are so terrible to the point where our son is starting to notice it. I just hope Bruno’s development won’t be affected as he grows up. I don’t want him to grow up thinking that arguing with your partner is normal.When he’s older, I have a lot of things to explain to him. I’ll teach him how to be a better man than I am. I don’t want his marriage to be unhappy like mine.One of the maids walked over to me. She bowed “I noticed you sitting here, Alpha. Is there anything I can do for you?”I thought about it. “Yes” I answered “Kindly call Craig for me. He should be with my wife”“Alright Alpha. I’ll be right back”“Thank you”She bowed then walked away. I’m not calling Craig because I’m jealous or anything. I’m calling him to save him from Mia. I have no doubts that Mia must have talked h

Arabella’s POVThe next morning, I woke up with a slight headache. It felt as if drums were being played inside my head. The worse part is that the headache was on the left side which means it’s a migraine. From the way I feel, I can tell that it’s pretty severe.These kind of migraines are caused by stress. It’s probably because I couldn’t sleep last night.How could I sleep? When I kept thinking about all the bad things the people I loved did to me.I remember how I was arrested like a common criminal without concrete evidence.I remembered how my own sister tried to kill me.I remembered how the man of my dreams, the man I loved with every fiber of my being, turned against me without even giving me the benefit of the doubt for a moment.I remembered it all. It haunted me for a while till I was able to move on.I thought I moved on but seeing them together brought back all the painful memories.I can’t believe they can just get away with everything they did to me. They looked so hap

Alpha Rhys’ POVAfter my walk with Craig that night, we said good night to each other before parting ways.With a heavy heart, I went straight to my bedroom. After a long shower, I laid on my bed.I stared at the ceiling, lost in thought. The events of today still weighed heavily on my mind. Another event that stuck to my memory is the occurrence that happened tonight with the couple.My mind wandered back to the fight the couple had. The man was certain his wife had been unfaithful due to the pain he usually feels in his chest.I’m aware that when one mate is cheating, the other mate can feel an excruciating pain in the chest. I’ve never heard of a mate cheating without the other one knowing about it. That’s the power and proof of a true mate bond.I wonder if Mia ever felt that pain in her chest when I used to cheat on her. If she did, wouldn’t she have confronted me about it?I thought about it. If she didn’t feel anything then something is definitely wrong with our mate bond. Sho

Arabella’s POVI was enjoying my beauty sleep until loud voices woke me up.It sounded like people chanting or singing rather.“Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you”I opened my eyes and sat up slowly on my bed. Damon, Declan and Delinda stood in front of my bed with smiles on their beautiful faces.Delinda was holding a pretty medium sized cake.I gasped when I saw it.“Happy birthday, mommy” they chorused happily.“Aww” I cooed “You guys remembered”“Of course, we did” Declan said.“How could we forget?” Damon added.“This is for you, mummy” Delina said, stretching out her hand to give me the cake. I took the cake and put it aside.“How did you guys manage to get a cake?” I asked them.“With our money” Damon said proudly.I laughed “What money are you talking about?”“We’ve been saving some money” Damon explained “We gave it to Uncle Jack to help us get a cake. He didn’t even want to use our money but we told him to because we wanted to do something special for you”Their k

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
