CONAN — Saying I was jealous over the incident that just transpired in my presence was an understatement. I wish I was the one who held Yvonne's soft palm and rubbed it softly, just like Melchizedek just did."Well, it's not possible because neither Melchizedek nor I would be able to get her because she's remarried now—not even just remarried, but a mother of triplets," I mumbled inwardly."I think I should take my leave now. When you must have rested enough, the Alpha's servants will direct you to my house for the treatment," Melchizedek said, retreating to leave the spot as he noticed the deadly glance I was giving him.However, as soon as he left, Yvonne's gaze, which had been broad even when the elders were taunting her, became dim, and she glared at me with irritation. "Is that jealousy I'm smelling from you? To be mad at him simply because he was so happy about me and greeted me? Is that how dominant you have become to your objects?" Yvonne remarked."Oh, Jealousy? Why would I
CONAN—After listening to all I had said, she let out a deep breath in disbelief. "Well, I'm so sorry for what has befallen you," she responded. "It's indeed not worth remembering. But in all, you should be grateful for still being alive; everything happens for a purpose," she added."Wow, I thought I'd seen it all until I witnessed this," I mumbled inwardly, gaping in awe. Just when I thought Yvonne would scoff at me or rejoice at my predicament, she felt for me, even encouraging me that in every situation we should be grateful for life."Not worth remembering at all since she went on to poison me after humiliating me by sleeping with my servant," I added."Oh, wow. This is getting more fascinating and heartbreaking as well as you narrate," she remarked, her gaze becoming mean as she was eager to hear the complete story."So you mean that Sophia also poisoned you?" She asked."Of course. What did you think would be the cause of this deadly disease then?" I remarked. "She poisoned me
YVONNE —The next morning, I woke up feeling very weak. Yesterday was so stressful that I could not even wake up as early as usual today.I quickly stood up from the bed as I heard the voice of the kids playing on the balcony."Amanda!" I yelled."Oh, Yvonne, you're awake," she responded, coming out of the kitchen. "It was not easy preventing the kids from waking you up," she remarked."Really? They must have been worried to the extent they gave up," I responded, peeping through the window to see them. "You should have woken me up, though, because I have an agreement with the Alpha today; he might be thinking I intentionally turned him down," I said."Oh, I'm sorry. I did not know that. I thought you must have been stressed out yesterday. That's why I didn't want to bother waking you up," she responded."It's fine. I'll explain to him when I reach the palace; he must have sent the message or called some hours ago," I uttered."Alright, he should bear any circumstance because he caused
YVONNE —"Huh, why? What happened? Why the sudden decision?" I stuttered, but he had already hung up the call.I stood on the road, startled, as I was baffled by the sudden development. How could Conan abruptly change his mind over an agreement we both had just yesterday?"So he expects me to walk back? And the worst of it all is that no explanation was made," I signed, confused about the whole thing."Well, I'll visit the Alpha palace and also Melchizedek, so I can save his poor daughter from the plague. There's no way I'm going back home to waste the day because I really wish to leave this place so soon," I concluded, and I proceeded to board a cab.A few moments later, a cab pulled up, and I quickly waved at it to halt."Alpha Conan's palace," I told the driver."Alright, your bill is fifty dollars," he responded.I quickly pulled the passenger's door open and entered without responding to him."Ma'am, I hope you heard me correctly. The fee to your destination is fifty dollars," he
CONAN —Although I did not welcome this idea, I had to give in as Mom was persistent about having Yvonne at the dinner party. I was still curious about what could warrant her having an interest in this idea—the idea of hosting the entire household of the Adolph family, both the ex and the present ones. This also means that Sophia will be here."Are you fine? You look worried. Or has the plague started its symptoms?" she asked as we were walking, heading to the building.I sighed heavily. "No, I'm fine. I was just memorizing something," I lied."Alright then, so who would escort me to Melchizedek's house?" I questioned him."Spid can do that perfectly," I responded instantly."You always assign me your male servants; what happened to your female servants? The omegas and gammas? They should be the ones to escort me instead," she argued."No, doctor Yvonne, I am not assigning you male servants because I don't want the female ones to serve you, but being with male servants, they can litera
YVONNE —After I was done checking Conan's health status and giving him some additional pills for a faster recovery, I left for my apartment. "See you then," Conan remarked, waving at me, and I faintly waved back at him. Upon reaching the exit gate, the security man greeted me wholeheartedly."Goodbye, ma'am," he remarked, waving at me as I was about to exit the compound. "Goodbye too, although I'll still visit tonight, so I'm still on," I responded, searching through my purse. "Use this for your lunch," I remarked, tipping him some bucks in his hand."God bless you so much, ma. I really appreciate this," he responded, jubilating as if he had just won a gamble.Fortunately, a cab pulled up before me as I was just coming out of the palace, and I quickly waved at it for the driver to halt."No. 5 Nicholas Street," I told the cab driver and entered, then he turned on the car engine, and we drove off.Inside the cab, I was fretting because it had been a long time since I left the house
YVONNE –I woke up to the sound of the doorbell."Who's there?" I asked, standing up from the bed to check."The Alpha's gamma, ma'am," a female voice sounded."Oh, really?" I was surprised. "To what do I owe this sudden visit?" I asked as I opened the door to confirm."You owe us nothing, ma'am," she remarked, assuaging my curiosity a bit."So what's up with this visit?" I asked."Um, ma'am, I was actually sent to deliver this dress to you," she responded, bringing out an outfit from the sack bag she came with."Really? Who sent you that, and what use was the outfit?" I was kind of irritated."Alpha Conan sent me, ma, and according to him, the dress is for a dinner party; you should wear it to the dinner party," she responded."Dinner party?" I asked, and she instantly nodded."Oh, mommy is finally going to a hot dinner party," Amelia remarked, her countenance written with happiness."It's called a date, not a dinner party. Mommy is going on a date," Liam corrected her."Mommy, I'm h
YVONNE –"Come on, Yvonne, you know I'm not so good at guessing; please spill the facts and don't get me hanging," Amanda replied."He requested I join in their dinner party," I responded, and Amanda's gaze suddenly changed."Dinner party?" she asked, her face frowning."Yeah, he does," I replied, smiling slightly."And what was your response to the request?" she added, adjusting her position."Well, I hesitated at first, but he persisted, saying it was his mother's wish, so I accepted," I answered."Mother's wish? Was it not the same parents who made the pack a living hell for you, then? And you think it was a genuine wish?" Amanda was skeptical about that."Um, Amanda, she was not part of the problem. It was Adolph, her husband, my father-in-law, but he is gone now," I replied."I'm not pleased with this, but you should be cautious about the event if you insist on going. You can't tell what their motive is," she declared."Absolutely, I'm always on guard," I replied."Good, it's almo
Two Months Later SOPHIA — I was lying helplessly today on the corner of the gutter when a car ran across me, splashing me with dirty water from the potholes as usual. To my greatest surprise, the car halted and the driver alighted. It was a lady. I thought she was coming to scold me for not avoiding her car at first, but I was shocked to my bone marrow as I noticed it was Yvonne. "Oh my goodness! Sophia, is this you?" she screamed as she noticed I'm the person. She must be really happy. Tears streamed down my cheeks immediately because I concluded that she would make a joke of me, but the reverse was the case. She ran to me and helped me get up. "Yvonne, I'm really sorry for everything I have made you pass through in life," I apologized, crying. "It's okay, Sophia. That is not necessary right now. You need proper medical attention first. That is the most important thing," she said, opening the back door of the car for me to enter. "Get in the car so we can leave for the hospita
YVONNE —Three days later, the DNA result was finally out, and I was really happy about it. This was because it proved positive. Conan is actually the father of the kid—he is the father of all my kids. This means I will be going back to the pack. At least he could see his baby for the first time.Although I had agreed with Mr. Thomas on his request to go back to Conan, but I am still sceptical about it.I was still in my room robbing some body cream and powder on my baby when Amanda walked in."You are still worried about this. I thought he made a promise to you about your career. Didn't he?" Amanda asked me as she walked.It seems she had been eavesdropping from the door for a long time before she walked. Of course, for her to notice I was worried, she must have heard the disturbing murmuring I had been having with myself here for almost thirty minutes."Not really, dear. I was just having a debate over something that had... ""A debate?""Whatever, Amanda. Please just let me be. By
YVONNE —"Alright, Mommy, but remember your promise," Kiara stated, and they started leaving reluctantly.As soon as they left, I let out a deep sigh of relief. I could not believe that I had just managed to avoid the question Kiara asked without them suspecting I did not want to answer the question."By the time you would be back, I believe Amanda would be at home, so she could continue with you guys. It is only if you guys see me by then that you will be requesting an answer concerning Kiara's question," I mumbled.I picked up my phone and dialed Dr. Naty's phone number. I need to call her and inquire about our deal because she has yet to call me.As I dialed the number, the phone rang for a few seconds, and it ended without being picked up by someone."Maybe she is still busy with work in the hospital," I mumbled, dropping my phone.I went to the kitchen to get lunch ready for my kids because I did not know exactly when Amanda would be back for me to depend on her to prepare lunch
YVONNE —One Week LaterI was just returning from the hospital, and the thought of my discussion with Mr. Thomas kept flashing through my mind as I was driving.I could not believe that I had just agreed to his request. Only if he knew that I did that out of pressure."Well, the DNA test will conclude," I muttered.I had managed to reach out to Sophia and requested that she get me Dr. Naty's contact information after she objected to doing the task, saying that she is avoiding Conan because he would kill her upon seeing her. It was then that I told her to get me Dr. Naty's phone number so she could do the job for me.At first, Dr. Naty argued about doing the job, but when I told her the reward for the project, she quickly hopped on it.She told me the job would take her a week because of the procedures she was to follow, so Conan would not suspect anything wrong.However, it has been one week since I gave her the job, so I am waiting for her feedback today."I hope this works out well
YVONNE —But how am I going to do that when none of the two men are with me here in New York City?I thought for some time but could not come up with a valid idea."No. I need to do something fast," I muttered and stood up to leave for my room.As I walked into my room, I remembered that I had spoken with Sophia a few days ago. I recalled how I ended the call with her, promising to call her back only not to call as I said."I think she is the person who can work this out for me since she is in the pack. Yes, she is cunning and could do all sorts of dirty jobs," I mumbled. I picked up my phone to dial her number, and immediately, I realized that she told me she did not have a phone anymore. She only called me that day through a call agent.I decided to secretly get the blood samples of Conan and his hair to do the DNA test in the city without going to the pack just so I could be sure he is truly the father of my baby."So how do I reach this girl, for goodness sake?" I wondered.A few
YVONNE —"Girl, I could not even believe you did this to me in the office," I said to Amanda as I walked out to the sitting room, where she was busy watching movies."I'm really sorry, dear. For real, I can't believe I did that. It was as if a spell was cast on me. I could not even raise my gaze anymore until the moment he asked for my contact," she stated."Oh, you both exchanged phone numbers as well?" I asked, chuckling.I never even knew all that happened in the office. It was the moment I left for my office to get Mr. Thomas what he requested I should get him that they did that. I had thought he really needed those files, unaware that he was just trying to send me out of the office to excuse them just so they could have their moment."Maybe that was the reason you insisted on going with me just so you could perch yourself on him," I remarked, feeling infuriated. How could she do that to me? How could she stoop so low just for a man?
SOPHIA —I could not tell exactly what was wrong with me. The past two days have been hectic for me because I have been sick. I could not afford to go to any medical centre, though, because I had no money with me.The last money I had was the one I used to call Yvonne yesterday, but she refused to speak with me, forcing me to end the call with a promise to call back, but since yesterday until now, she has not called back.I visited the call centre yesterday at exactly five o'clock, which I told her, and I waited till eight o'clock in the evening, yet the call centre agent did not receive a call from Yvonne.I lay on the floor, inside the bush, crying. This was the only place I could stay during the day because there was no shelter I had other than the kiosk where I sleep at night. However, during the day, it is always in service to the owner because that is a coffee shop.Meanwhile, today was the day I had promised both Alpha Conan and the Lycan king to get Yvonne for them. However, I
YVONNE — As we were walking to the elevator, which would take us through the last floor where Mr. Thomas' office is located, my pulse began racing faster. I waved at my colleagues, who were greeting me. Some were excited to see me again after one month of being absent from work. "Dr. Yvonne, welcome back!" one of them remarked, waving her hand at me with her face filled with joy. "Thank you, dear. Unfortunately, I have not resumed work. I still have one more week to go," I replied, walking to her and giving her a warm embrace. She was among the people who made me wish not to ever leave this hospital due to how nice she had been to me. A few minutes later, we managed to walk out of the hall where the staff were, and we headed to the place where the elevators were. "I hope I have the confidence to say what I think is best for me inside his office," I muttered. We entered the elevator, ascending to the last floor. Amanda turned her gaze on me with a smile. "Now I know the reason yo
YVONNE — "Yvonne, are you not yet ready?" Amanda's voice sounded from the sitting room. "A few minutes, please. I'm almost done," I responded, hurrying to apply body cream to my body. Today was finally the long-awaited day on which I had agreed to meet with Mr. Thomas and give him feedback on what I had concluded. However, Amanda had requested to escort me just in case it got to a point where I could not defend my opinion and freely say what I had concluded, then agree to what would not sit well with me out of pressure. A few minutes later, I was finally done dressing. I stared at myself in the wall mirror in my room, and behold, I was satisfied with the way I looked. A smile of satisfaction crept onto my lips. I picked up my baby, carried him in the baby carrier, and walked out of the room, heading to the sitting room to meet Amanda. "How do I look?" I asked her as I walked out. "Absolutely stunning!" she yelled, and I blushed a little. "Well, let's get going. It's al
