CHAPTER EIGHT.

ROSALIE'S POV.

"Someone should find me the guards I sent into the woods," I shouted randomly, with my heart clenching in pain as I increased the pressure of my weight on Alpha Cosmos's chest.

I was trying everything in my power to revive him, and he was refusing to be revived. Something was wrong with the concoction I made, and I was confused because I used normal ingredients and mixtures.

I had gone to the woods to grab more herbs, but upon returning, I was met with a commotion where everyone was prowling, and the words on their lips were that my patients had been poisoned.

Judging by their suspicious eyes on me, I knew they were all pointing their fingers at me, whereas I was as astonished as they were.

"Anyone?!" I repeated, but just like the first question, no one answered me.

The healers and the guards with some maids were all standing around in the room, glaring at me, and not moving. That was when I realised that no one went to the woods, and tears weighed up in

    CHAPTER NINE.ROSALIE'S POV.I've never imagined myself blurting out a word about my pups in front of Jacqueline before, and to think that I spoke of them being his, not for once.I began to shiver from within and my legs wobbled. I was expecting him to say the next word so that I wouldn't snitch much more than I already had as I formed out what to respond to him with.Like the goddess was by my side, Jacqueline busted into a hilarious laugh, he held his stomach and laughed, then he spoke up, "Who do you think I am? A dumbass?" He laughed more.My astonished eyes went to Carl and saw he was just staring at his alpha with no expression on his face, though I knew he would be wondering about what was wrong with Jacqueline.I faced Jacqueline again, "I don't know what you're talking about." My voice was barely above a whisper."You are just like all those bitches out there who birth a pup who is not mine, and try to force their fatherhood on me. Though I see they're better, you're worse t

    CHAPTER TEN.ROSALIE'S POV.My mouth refused to shut up as my eyes remained on Jacqueline who just muttered out the words about my slavery to everyone.'Why so evil?' I wondered, and I wished I could question him about his evil scheme, but I couldn't, not before the pack elders, who were looking so carnivorous.If they were given the chance to deal with me by themselves, I knew they would just shred me apart, but still, I didn't want to accept defeat without any trial."Jacqueline, I..."I meant to talk, but was cut off my words by an unfamiliar voice, "Your suggestion is good, my alpha."It was a feminine voice, and when I turned to check its owner, I saw it was one of the healers, and others were nodding beside her like agamid lizards."Since she is a doctor, and she knows a lot about native medicine, we can use her to create some local medicine that would help the people who are diseased, for the virus as we all know, is not ready to go off from the land." She explained further."D

    CHAPTER ELEVEN.ROSALIE'S POV.It was morning, and I stretched from side to side on the bed. I was so tired since I was unable to sleep throughout the night. I had a lot of things to think about, which included the welfare of my pups and the evidence I had to do everything in my power to retrieve.I had to set myself free.I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom for a shower. When I was done, I wrapped myself with a clean towel and returned to the room to dress up.I selected a blue dress which was free on my body, and it got to my mid-thigh.As I was not ready for any unnecessary attention that day, I picked out nude leggings, which I wore underneath the dress, and I used a belt to hold the waist firmly around my waist, causing the dress to be shorter.I stood before the mirror to dress my hair, and a lot kept crossing my mind. It got to my knowledge that I would be spending more than enough time in the pack, away from my children.I knew I had two things to do for them: first, p

    CHAPTER TWELVE.ROSALIE'S POV.I was rooted on that spot, unable to move. I was deeply hit by Jacqueline's words, and no matter how much I tried to put everything behind me, I couldn't, it kept on ringing in my ears.'Once a murderer, always a murderer.'Something in me didn't want to comply with the thought that Jacqueline knew nothing about the dead.He must have noticed that I killed no one, he was a smart man, so it shouldn't even take him up to a day to figure it out.But why was he repeating it all like that and intentionally hurting me? Why was he suddenly being cold-hearted and keeping me here against my will?Was it possible for him to have changed so much that I did not know who he was again?Was six years enough for a smart alpha to become so dumb? Dumb enough to be blind to the unforeseen in the pack house?I was delulu, and my eyes remained on the route he took."Hey, are you okay?" Carl's question got me back.I turned to him, forcing out a chuckle, "Yes.""If you said s

    CHAPTER THIRTEEN.JACQUELINE'S POV.All that Rosalie had been doing for the past few days was to get on my nerves. How could she stoop so low to like a stupid compliment given to her by my beta?That was the stupidest thing I've ever seen in a while. She was blushing like a teenager who was being given alone time with her crush.'Is she liking Carl now? Are they in a relationship already?' Those thoughts crossed my mind and I hated that I was thinking of such.Rosalie had no business with me, and it would only be right if I stopped thinking about her to focus on her punishment, but my damn thoughts were way beyond my control.They slipped into my head and left me angry.I flung the door to the throne room open and stomped in to sit down on my throne with my anger very well intact.I clenched its armrest til my knuckles turned white, and if not that, my throne was made of completely fine gold, which made it as hard as a rock and as heavy as what again? Still rock, I would have shattere

    CHAPTER FOURTEEN.ROSALIE'S POV.I stood in a garden, hiding away from everyone and thinking about what to do next since I couldn't teach Maria my secret herbs, nor was I brave enough to introduce her to Jacqueline."Hey, there you are." Carl's voice distracted me and I turned to him."Hey."He took his seat beside me on the flower bench."How's the meeting and how did you find me?""The meeting went well, and your scent is strong enough to be found even if you hid under the earth, you will still be found by me, somehow."I smiled and returned my gaze to the flowers."What was the meeting all about?""How was your meeting with Maria?"We both questioned each other simultaneously and laughed at the coincidence."Go, first." I gave him a room."How was your meeting with Maria?""Ah! That. She just has a piece of evidence that I'm not a murderer, but you're right, she's dubious.""What did she want in return?"I snapped my eyes to him, "You seem to know her too well."He pfft. "You're th

    CHAPTER FIFTEEN.ROSALIE'S POV.I woke up from sleep with a slight headache hitting the side of my head, and I rubbed that side softly to ease the pain.When the pain subsided, I sat up on my bed and slowly, the dream I had crept back into my memory, and I remembered everything.I remembered waking from bed and seeing Briana in my room. Then she commanded me about some things, which I accepted, nodding to her words like a docile child.I shrugged it off after having the full memory of it, and I got out of bed to dress up for the day.I selected a pink fitted shirt and white pants before heading to the bathroom for a thorough body wash.I was done washing and dressed in my outfit. I brushed my hair, then packed it in a ponytail, knowing that I might enter the woods for some herbs.I heard that some more people who had contaminated the disease had been brought in the night before I slept, so I knew I might be finally considered.I went out of my room, and after a few steps towards the s

    CHAPTER SIXTEEN.ROSALIE'S POV.Jacqueline took me to his destination which was at the mouth of the woods, and he loosened his hand from my wrist, giving me room to jerk my hand away from him, and I fell to the floor because of that sudden impact."Rosa!" Carl called and ran to me on the floor, "Are you okay?"I was not in the mood to answer him, so I just stared away, fixing my eyes on my wounded wrist and palms, which were bleeding.I was very weak as I sat there, and most importantly, I was mad at Jacqueline for treating me without care."Stop being pitiful and get into the woods to look for your ingredients. And of course, I won't be dumb enough to allow you to prepare it without proper inspection. I will personally inspect you today." Jacqueline said to me.His nonchalant attitude was echoed in his voice, and I missed the expression he had on because I was not ready to see any.It was like he was hurt by something, and he was taking it all out on me. I somehow also knew that some

    CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE.JACQUELINE'S POV.My bond with Rosalie was pulling me forward into Scott's pack house like an invisible thread. My breathing was ragged, my muscles burning from the effort I had made, but I didn’t care.Nothing mattered except getting to her.I shifted back to my human form when her scent got very strong, and I moved closer on foot, leaving my sweat to tick out of all the tiny holes in my body.I sniffled the air and her scent led me to a heavy metal door at the end of a dimly lit corridor.My heart pounded in my chest as I approached, the sounds of muffled voices filtering through the thick steel. I stood by the door and listened, catching the conversation going on in the room so clearly."Tell us Rosalie, is he dead?" The phoenix king's voice demanded, his tone dripping with malice.

I reasoned that she wouldn't be doing so fine in my absence, and I heard each of the words she spoke to me when I was asleep.She told me, "Wake up, Jacqueline, I'm waiting for you."It got me so much ease that I couldn't but want to wake up, and when I woke up, I was alone in a lonely safe room.'What am I doing here?' I thought.I sat down on the bed and thought about it all to see if I could fish out a memory relating to my presence in a room far away from my chamber.It clicked in like rushing water..."Jacqueline, hold on now, I'll heal you....""Jacqueline, why are you not waking up? People will begin to notice your absence....""I think we have to keep him for a

It was like Briana was waiting for her.The torchlight Susan was holding onto flickered and fell from her hand, casting ominous shadows across Briana's sharp features.Susan’s heart banged in her ribcage, but she

    CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO.ROSALIE'S POV.I woke up in the morning to see myself in Carl's fluffy body. He had shifted to his wolf and he was wrapping himself around me, keeping me away from the cold."Carl," I called him and he replied to me with a low growl. Then he flipped us over, turning to the other side of the room."Hey, Carl." I called him again, tapping him, "Let go, you're suffocating me."He growled again but let me go.I stood up to my feet to stare around the new place we were taken to and saw it was just like the first one. It was equally a cold room.When I was away from Carl's embrace, I felt coldness hitting me, and I rubbed my palms together to generate some heat for myself.I turned to Carl and said, "I hate it here."He grunted in response and kept his posture on the floor, still in h

    CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE.ROSALIE’S POVMy heart raced when a voice from nowhere spoke out. I had to put on a fake bravery and force myself to speak. “We mean no harm. We were thrown in here against our will.”I spoke with my eyes everywhere, trying to locate the source of the voice.The voice seemed to consider those little words of mine, the light dimming slightly, but stable. “Your intentions are irrelevant. Only your hearts will decide your fate.” It said to us.The light flared, enveloping us in a blinding glow.I felt a surge of energy, a sensation both foreign and familiar as if the very essence of my soul was being laid bare.Carl groaned beside me, and I reached out, gripping his hand tightly.“Hold on,” I whispered, though I wasn’t sure who I was trying to

    CHAPTER SIXTY.ROSALE'S POV.The cold in the icy cold room was unbearable, seeping into my bones as I clung to Carl, who barely managed to stay conscious. My mind raced with desperate thoughts, each one more dangerous than the last. I had to find a way out, but the frost-covered walls loomed like a tomb around us, mocking my efforts.Carl’s shallow breathing filled the silence. "Carl," I called while shaking him back over. His words echoed in my ears when he responded, “I’m fine.” But he wasn’t fine. His body was weakening, and if I didn’t act soon, I might lose him.I know.*What can I do, Rose? We can't die here, can we?* I confined in my wolf.Rose snarled in my mind, with her voice ever sharp. *We can’t stay here. We have to find a way out, Rosalie! We’re stronger than this.*I drew a shaky breath, forcing myself to focus. My eyes scanned the room, searching for anything that might serve as a means of escape with my arms still around Carl. I watched the frost on the walls as

    CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE.ROSALIE'S POV.My heart stopped.My breath caught in my throat again. Before I could react, Scott threw his head back and let out a laugh, a chilling, devilish sound that echoed through the corridor like the wail of a tortured soul. His entire demeanour shifted, the mask of sincerity falling away to reveal something far darker than I had been thinking.“What’s so funny?” Carl demanded, stepping forward, his body tense and ready to fight.But I could see he was not stable, his legs were wobbling under him. 'Is he okay?'"I said, what's funny?!" Carl yelled at Scott.Scott’s laughter subsided, but the wicked grin remained. “Oh, you poor fools. Did you think I’d risk everything just to save you? You’re nothing more than pawns in a much larger game.”I felt the blood drain from my face. Rose howled in rage, the truth of her warnings now undeniable. *I knew it!* She exclaimed.I ignored her to focus on Scott.“What do you mean?” I asked him in a shaking voice despite

    CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT.ROSALIE'S POV.Carl and I followed Scott out of the pack, and when we got outside, we halted before three sleek black cars, which were parked right there with his guards sweeping all around them like ants do to sugar.A door was opened for us, "Enter in." We were commanded.I had lost the zeal to go with Scott. I never knew that he was planning to take us out of the pack. If he does, how then do we take care of Jacqueline?Carl peaked unto my face, "Why are we stopping? Aren't we following him anymore?""I thought going with him was a better idea. I'm sorry."Scott cut into our words and said, "Too late to apologise!"We were pushed into the car, and it zoomed off immediately, with the others coming behind us.'Why am I not thoughtful enough?' I beat myself up, 'I'm stupid! Stupid.'"Hey, hey, stop it. I'll just tell Susan about Jacqueline's location and she will take care of him for the time we will be away." Carl said to me."What if she snitch on us again?""Do

    CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN.ROSALIE'S POV.The cold floor of the hallway pressed against my footwear as I stumbled forward with Carl and was led forward by the guards who were surrounding us. Lennox was present too, and I had been seeing the demonic smirk he plastered on his face since we left the room.I stared at my hands, which had been bound in front of me to keep me from thinking of running or escaping successfully, which I was so thinking. Beside me, Carl walked with his head held high, his expression defiant despite the bruises forming on his cheek and jaw. He had been hit severally, as per Lennox's order to keep him shut and submissive.Though they didn't succeed in keeping him submissive, they were able to keep his mouth shut.I knew that he would be in a biting pain right now and he was healing ever slowly. He was beaten with silver, for he was just too stubborn, just like Jacqueline.The guards on either side of us shoved us forward disrespectfully when our pace faltered, and th
