Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 070: Bald-headed Luna
Ophelia stared into her reflection in the mirror and raised the scissors. She would do this. Cut off a hair she had touched before. Her curly red hair had to go because a handful of strands were pulled out. Since birth, her parents had left her hair the way it was. And she had grown with it until age twenty-three.Letting a low breath, she began cutting her hair. She wouldn't dwell on the thoughts that she would have to go bald from the onset because what mattered to her the most was Finlay. She needed him to return to her."Irene," she called the name of her maid after cutting out all her hair and leaving them on her feet and body. "My lady," Irene hurried in and gasped immediately, upon seeing her Luna looking so small like a child, with all of her generous hair gone. Just a few strands on her scalp needed to be shaved off to perfection."Dear me!" The girl exclaimed with wide eyes, "perhaps I am seeing things.""Call the royal barber, Irene." Ophelia still had her eyes on her refl
Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 071: His Return
Ophelia couldn't believe it, she had gone to his room in the early hours of the morning and found him in the same position as he had been since the five days they had returned from the south.Her mouth parted in shock and an audible gasp escaped from it because he didn't look as if he wasn't half-dead before. He was wearing different clothes from the one she had worn him, and he looked groomed to perfection with his hair packed in a bun and his appearance intimidating as usual.It almost felt like a dream to Ophelia because it was the last thing she was expecting. Finlay showing up at this hour.The council of elders found themselves thrown in the same position as Ophelia.Finley side-stepped his wife and went to stand in front of the Elders, facing Elder Adolphus and Elder Festus."I find it very hard to believe that you two have been discussing my death whilst I was sick. You don't have the guts to talk about bringing in Cestus Dupree when you know full well that he would mistreat m

"I look ugly," Ophelia looked away from Finlay so he wouldn't have to stare at her face for too long because she already knew he wasn't looking anywhere but her."No, you don't," Finlay adjusted his position on the chair. He had her seated on top of his thighs. It was half an hour after they had left the council hall and they were in his room."Do not lie, Finlay, I'm bald. Something which is uncommon in Easton and what makes matters worse is the fact that I'm not just an ordinary person, but the wife of the most powerful man in the pack." Ophelia pointed out flatly. Her small shoulders rose and fell when she released a breath, still avoiding the eyes of Finlay.Finlay caught her by the jaw and nudged her head to face him so he could take a look into her emerald eyes. For he didn't like that she thought so low of herself, felt so small and ugly. If only she could see herself the way that he saw her, she wouldn't hide her face away from his."Doesn't make any difference, you had your h
Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 073: An Alpha And His Luna
The Fourteenth of April was the 'Crimson Paw Ask A Question Day.' This occurrence was held yearly where people within Crimson Paw questioned the royal Alpha family, be it plain, brutal, or even hair-rising. One of Ophelia's most dreadful days because she was always questioned about her inability to conceive a child. Always indirectly insulted and the old Finlay would chuckle or snicker in his seat because he found the pained look on her face amusing. Except this time, Ophelia knew things would be different."My lady, you cannot go out like this.""It is my choice,""At least put on a wig," Athena urged, holding up different kinds of wigs in her face. It was two weeks after Finlay awoke and her hair was gradually beginning to pop out a few strands."Well, I like to carry my head like this," Ophelia whirled in front of the mirror to take a look at her outfit, before stopping and touching her head, "I feel very much okay with it.""People will talk, Ophelia.." the stylist looked at her a
Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 074: Questions
"My lord, what made you change your behavior towards the Luna? You very much sought solace in your mistress than your wife…forgive me if this comes rather disturbing, there's no other way I would have put it. It's just surprising to see you on good terms with the Luna."There was murmuring from the crowd at this until Finlay held up his hand to gain silence, which immediately fell into place. And Ophelia looked at Finlay, wondering if he would give a response to the man who seemed very bold, waiting for his Alpha to speak up."Being held hostage by the barbarian pack and tortured every day, made me realize what an insensitive Bastard I was. I took it as a grave punishment from the gods for mistreating my wife. And I vowed to change if I would be given a chance to escape," Finlay remained very relaxed after making this known to everyone, and he threw a smile at Ophelia right in front of everyone."My lady, how did you feel when you saw Alpha Finlay at the council hall for the first tim

"You are getting married today, Ro," Finlay said from where he was taking a look at the servants who were at work. The entire castle was booming with busy people, hurrying about with their duties because people were beginning to arrive.There was a scoff, "I still can't believe that after whoring around the whole of Gisburn and Easton,I'm finally settling down with one woman." Ronan's smirk was huge on his face. "It means you're growing up and you have to take responsibility as the alpha of the Nightwalker Pack," Finlay pointed out without even sparing him a glance, instead he held his glass of wine to his mouth and drank from it."My father hasn't even stepped down just yet," Ronan squinted as if he was thinking about something."It's already in your hands. Marrying Sabrina today will ultimately make you Alpha of the Nightwalker pack because your father will step down on the morrow, so you could take over and govern the park as the newly appointed Alpha." Finlay raised his glass of

"The bride is missing!" Someone made this announcement and it was enough to put all the women outside the room in shock."She was just right here a few minutes ago," Ophelia's mother uttered in fear and Ophelia left her position and ran up to her, "your sister wants to bring shame to not just me, but our entire family.""Calm down, mother. I'll find her." Ophelia took the hands of her mother into hers."What if she's run away?" Her frightened-looking mother couldn't help but ask, "your father would be devastated if he comes to know of this.""Sabrina doesn't know anywhere in Ginsburg, she must be somewhere around this castle," Ophelia pointed out before turning to face the rest of the women. They were readying Sabrina's wedding dress and everything else they would use in decorating it, "it's best no one mention this to anyone. Sabrina is in this castle, she's perhaps having some time to herself, so carry on with your duties as if nothing ever happened." They nodded at her and she left
Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 077: The Set Up
The wedding reception had begun with the large hall barely containing guests. Music, dancing, and everything else were going on. People were full of smiles as the joyful exuberance spread about because Ronan Castlelyrock had finally settled with a girl. Not just a girl but a very beautiful one at that. She was openly admired by men and even a few women.A large unending table sat the bride and the groom's family, feasting and talking. "So, Sabrina you're now a member of this family, not just that, you'll be Luna tomorrow. Now, are you willing to start bearing my son's children?""Pardon?" Sabrina, who was smiling at what Ronan had whispered to her, tilted her head to look at his mother."You're eighteen, you needn't wait until you're in your twenties to start baring children.""Oh," Sabrina blinked and gulped as the smile on her face faded away, "I.."Ophelia was at that moment putting beef into her mouth. She chewed but she couldn't swallow because her body was beginning to stiffen a

Six months later…Cameron was tense the entire time he heard Ophelia's screams from her room. She had been in labor for three good hours, and he was starting to feel unsettled the entire time. Pacing to and fro with his hands right behind him and his lips in a thin grim line. He was a powerful man with exceedingly great might, feared and loved by many because he led men to war in the south, past the seven treacherous seas. But there he was, trembling like a culprit who was sentenced to death. And it was all because of his wife.No one had any idea Ophelia would be in labor that day. They had woken up beside each other, had breakfast together, and gone to take a look at the new packhouse that was being built when Ophelia stopped walking and told him her water just broke.She was rushed into a carriage and taken back to the castle, through a gurney because she couldn't walk. The contractions seemed to be coming. Cameron had never seen Ophelia look so scared in his life. And it made him
Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 124: Starting Now
Men were carrying Cameron's unconscious body through a gurney and Ophelia was beside them, running along because she feared for his life. This was like the third time they had been through into such a position, except it was way worse. Cameron had never been beaten and injured like this before.Ophelia swallowed hard, not wanting to cry because it would make her seem weak. She wanted to be strong for Cameron because she strongly believed he would survive.It was all over, with most of Alpha Bailey's men dead and a few running off because Ronan and his men had come to join the unexpected war. Ophelia's eyes caught something that made her steps falter and the men who were carrying Cameron's body left her. It was Lewis, who was over the floor next to a few dead bodies and fire. She looked completely exhausted with blood gushing from her stomach and mouth."Lewis!" Ophelia dashed toward her side and gathered her head in her hands. She didn't even know when she did it, because seeing Lew

Ophelia wondered if the gods were against her having happiness to her fill. She had suffered in making everyone discover that Cameron was Finlay's twin and he was the rightful heir to the Alpha throne. Then she proceeded to tell him that she was pregnant, only to have Alpha Bailey show up in the middle of it all.She bit down on her bottom lip from where she was hiding behind Cameron. Because the man who had killed his twin had come for him too."I told the members of this pack that you're mine to kill," Alpha Bailey kissed his teeth as he took another step toward Cameron whose wolf was starting to surface because he wanted to fight."It seemed as though you're Finlay's twin after all and you want to claim his throne, take his woman as well,""This face is the last thing you'll see before you die a horrible death," Cameron growled and immediately took the form of his wolf before lunging at Alpha Bailey.Alpha Bailey shifted too and went crashing into Cameron, something which made Ca

Ophelia ran after Cameron upon seeing him leave. She couldn't understand why a cloud befell his face after the truth was out and everyone had bowed to him. She had expected him to be happy at least. But he surprised her and every one by walking away as if everything meant nothing to him.She caught up with him before he could reach the gate that had guards already bowing to him.Cameron.. she tried to call his name but her voice wasn't giving out. She had lost it after shouting a lot in the courtyard because of the explaining she did.And Cameron stopped because her hand had grasped his elbow. He wanted to be away from everything and everyone, and there she was.Ophelia's heart rose in her chest when he turned and let his tearful eyes meet hers. It made her emotional to see him like that because she knew why he was like that.She knew it had to do with her explanation to the crowd and she hated the fact that her voice wasn't working. This man deserved so much more than he could ever
Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 121: Alpha Cameron
The following day.Cestus had a wicked glint in his eyes as he put his hands together and in front of him, watching the crowd pouring into the courtyard wearing their cloaks because it was snowing. They had come to witness the killing of Cameron Snow, the man who had impersonated Finlay, his late brother and former Alpha of the Crimson Paw. It was dawn, and nearing nine. Cestus had an under butler holding onto a clock beside him, whilst he waited. He wanted the time to hit nine and then he would order for the execution of Cameron Snow. Hamilton, the head butler was perplexed. It was clearly written on his face that he didn't want the death of Cameron to take place, be him an Impostor. So many of the servants were unsettled as well because Cameron was good to them. The best Alpha they ever had. Elder Adolphus exchanged a glance with someone in the crowd and the man nodded at him. No one knew what these two had planned.Cestus kissed his teeth and fixed his gaze on the heavy wall cl
Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 120: Evidence
The journey to Kathleen's home was quicker than expected. Ophelia and the people who had accompanied her reached there within five hours. And on the outskirts of Silverline pack sat a small cottage that looked like it hadn't been occupied by the presence of a person in ages. To think Kathleen had lived there because of her hardheadedness. Her refusal to let her pride down and settle whatever quarrel she had with her husband. No one knew what had happened between the two, but it did seem like a huge fight which was the whole thing that made them part ways. A dull pain spread through Ophelia's chest as she hopped off her horse and neared the cottage because Cameron had lived there as a child. As a child who had no clue that he was an Alpha's first son and heir to the Alpha throne in the Crimson Paw pack, Easton. "Wait," Lewis stopped Ophelia upon seeing how she was about to make her way in, "you wouldn't know what is inside waiting for someone. Catidy perhaps," she pointed out beca

After spending the next day in search of the midwife, they found her at last. Through some wolf-less beggars along the way. Thankfully, Ronan's men had arrived so Alpha Caden couldn't send his men after then. Lewis Duncan had come in handy at the right time. She and the rest of the men were asked to wait outside whilst Ophelia was ushered in to meet with the aging woman who had gray hair and could barely see. Lady Leslie lived alone even though she was old and needed support. It seemed as though she was a thoughtful woman because she looked in Ophelia's direction for a long time. "I was told that you came to see me," she said at last, after staring at Ophelia to her fill. "Yes, my lady," came the response from Ophelia. "May I know who you are?" Lady Leslie inquired almost immediately. "I am Ophelia, my lady. From the Crimson Paw pack," Ophelia answered, rubbing the side of her arm as she looked around the small room. "Why are you here?" Lady Leslie asked quickly once more. O
Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 118: To Her Rescue
Ophelia struggled to break free from where she had her hands tied to the bedpost. She was in the chamber of the cruel Alpha Caden, on top of his king-sized bed. And it was exasperating to the bone that he had his men tie her to his bedpost because he wanted to have his way with her. Ophelia knew she couldn't let him touch her, it was insane. She belonged to another. Was carrying the child of Cameron. She had come to the Silverline pack because she wanted some information that she could gather as evidence that Cameron was Finlay's twin and the eldest. The rightful Alpha of the Crimson Paw pack. Alpha Caden made his way into his chambers, with that sick smirk never leaving his face. "You'd make things easier for yourself if you stop struggling. Because it'd be of no help to you, I'd have you either way," Alpha Caden smiled sickly at Ophelia. At last, he would have her to himself. The beautiful, beautiful woman. She had caught his eyes even when Finlay was alive. But he had kept his
Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me 117: Locked In
Cameron wondered if Ophelia was safe, wherever she was. He didn't trust those men she was with, they could try to take advantage of her upon seeing she was the only woman in their midst. He didn't like that she would feel alone, he wouldn't be there to protect her if someone wanted to touch or hurt her. But he had to let Cestus's men take him away because he had an ulterior motive. He was in his old dungeon once more, the place he had been freed from barely twenty-four hours ago. Ophelia didn't waste her efforts to bring him out, they had met and made up. It was a good thing to happen. The thought of Ophelia sending men to come rescue him still baffled him. How in the seven hells was she able to convince those men into sneaking into the Dupree's castle to liberate him from where he was locked in? Ophelia was brave since he went to Easton to impersonate Finlay. She started coming out of her shell the night she took a boat and sailed after his ship because she wanted to be with him
