Stella McCartney's POVFixing our eyes on the person, we are quite surprised. I don't know what the Alpha's guard is doing here."Good day! Mam" he said.I couldn't really answer him at that moment, "what are you doing there?" I know I and Richard are interested in what he comes to look for."Mam! I was sent by the Alpha," he said.Stella smiles out, "wait! How did you know we are here?" I asked him straight away.He lits his face with a smile, "that doesn't really matter. I have seen you and that's all that matters. So, I was asked to give you this," he said."You want to hide it from us, okay… what's inside?" I asked."Just take, he needs you to be fine. He puts some money in it and some foodstuffs so that you both will not starve," he said."Wow! This is excellent," I said with smiles."The Alpha is really looking after us," Richard said."We won't be spending so many days here anymore. I will want you to deliver a message to the Alpha," I said."Okay, I am all ears, mam!" He said
Stella McCartney's POVI almost puked at the sight of what I behold. I couldn't just imagine how tough things would have been for these children.They have been maltreated and given tough times just to please themselves. These people should face the consequences of their actions.My eyes winked several beats as my heart galloped gently while I beheld the tears of these young ones."People are indeed suffering..!" Richard said.I nodded my heart and looked at him with sorrow. "You know, I feel really bad for these children. Look at how they are being mistreated for no reason," I said."Such is life, I hope we ain't sold to slavery. This is what it actually looks like," he said.His words were like double edged swords, so sharp that it pierced the walls of my heart."That's really right. I feel empty and so pathetic at this terrific sight," I said."I understand that feeling, I also couldn't stand it earlier, but I just have to chase the emotions since we are here to actually put them d
Stella McCartney's POVWe got to the base real quick. Getting into our room, we sigh aloud."That is really stressful," I said panting gently."The distance between that place and this place is no joke. I can confirm that," he said.I smiled. "We didn't take the distance to consideration before choosing this place as our base," I said."I don't think that's our fault… we are strangers, even now, I can still say we are strangers. We don't know much about this place," he said."That's true though… but I am scared," I said looking at his face."Not only you… I am also scared especially, that woman that saw us…. I am just really scared," he said."The mission is the mission. No matter what, he can't sense we are threat yet. She will still take things lightly unless she is already seeing the smoke which I know it's impossible," I said."That's indeed true… they won't see this coming until we attack," he said.I smiled and at that same moment, something came to my mind immediately, "we must
Stella McCartney's POVThat moment, we parted from each other. We are not even close to ourselves because the rooms are way too many.I know by the time we check each, we would find them in one of them. Immediately I find them, I will just go directly to the Alpha.I hope Richard will be fine. I paced gently with my heart panting heavily due to the phobia of being alone.The rooms are dark, being alone is really not my thing, not even like this that I am hoping i am not caught anytime.Although that woman won't be back anytime soon. I gotta check everywhere before she comes back.Gently moving along, I walked to the first room and opened it up… I couldn't see anything in it, but it looks like some children were packed there some time ago.I walked into the place to take a close peek at the place. Looking around, I could see children's clothings on the ground and that gives me the idea that it is really the place.With a sigh, I paced out of the room gently. I closed the door slightly
Richard's POV"Let's split up so that things would be fast," I said. I was hoping she would agree to it and fortunately, she did. "When you find them, make sure you go to report to the Alpha immediately. The Alpha would be at the border of the city," she explained.I understand her words, I know what she is actually thinking. She is scared of getting caught, I am also scared of getting caught."Okay.. no problem,"I said. She nodded her head and paced forward while I focused on my movement immediately.I paced gently, scanning my eyes to count the doors I have before me. 'Damn it! This is ten doors.'I heave at the count of it all. I am tired and weary at that moment, but I know it's something I can't avoid. That's what we are here for and I mustn't waste time. That monster of a woman could suddenly show up at any time. I must be really quick.I paced gently to the first door. Getting inside, I saw it was empty. It doesn't even look like a place anybody inhabits.'Would those childr
Richard's POVNot quite long, I see the footsteps divert to the other wing. My eyes flushed with fear. I hope Stella won't be caught.I couldn't take it, I wanted to go help out, but I can't help out. I remembered her orders and wouldn't dare let my emotions come in-between, so I rescinded for a while making sure the footsteps were far enough.My tension level was beyond it at that moment, but I could control myself… in no time, I paced gently without making any sound to avoid attention.I know the person pacing through the corridor would surely be alert.I am worried about Stella at that moment. I know the only thing I could actually do is to get to the Alpha really soon.I don't think she would be aware of the danger lurking behind. I hope she is not caught anyway.Without further ado, I paced out of the corridor reaching where I and her had parted ways. I heaved a heavy breath.I could whisper from afar, I sincerely hope they hadn't laid hold of her.Without wasting much time, I pa
Alpha Lucas POVHearing what he said just now almost got me off balance. I don't know why he would choose to break such a news when he sees I am at war with these folks.'Damn it! How did that even happen! Like I don't know and I am living there… I feel hurt within me,' I retorted.My pride is hurt, but what can I do at that moment? It's not my fault anyways, this whole Alpha office could be time consuming and I barely pay attention to things within.Everyday it's one crisis or the other, there is nothing I can really do about that. I am happy the information comes now, because it's possible that the bastard says it to my face.I guard a sword immediately, twisting my hand in the air I plunged it into him. My eyes filled with rage and terror, I am bent on saving Stella.Since she is not yet out, I believe she will be taken hostage immediately. Fighting my way through those folks, I don't know how to get into that warehouse.There is only one solution, we have to kill every last man s
Stella McCartney's POV She pulls my hair to herself while I grind in pain and severe agony. "You are a spy right?" She yelled at me.I smirked at that moment. I don't want to answer her, but I am between her claws. I feel so pathetic and could really do nothing at the moment.I feel she has all the strength and the prowess. I am at her mercy at this junction. I don't know when she actually came in.She met me not being so alert, because of that little boy. I would have dealt with her if I had known that she was behind me.At the moment, there is nothing to be done… I am just so tired of everything. I feel emotionally down and ready to get out of her grasp.From the point of grappling me even to this end, I know what her motive is. She wants to use me as a hostage.She even made mention of it, I hope the Alpha is strong enough to make the right choice.I know it would be a choice between love, I hope his heart would be able to bear the gross heaviness and won't mind pulling through i
Alpha Lucas POVI intentionally walked out on her so that she would be able to make her decision. I won't interrupt it..This would show which kind of woman she is. Some parents are not indeed parents, because they can't do something drastic for their daughter or son which is really bad.This is the period of Sacrifice, she has to sacrifice herself or her daughter would disappear forever.I know it is not something easy and I don't think there is anywhere that it is said that something like this would be easy.No! There is no place."I have decided!" I heard that voice thin and very sharp.That's Stella's mother's voice. I hope she has decided on something that would remedy her daughter's life.If she decides otherwise, I won't have a choice than let greed overtake me. I am so much in love with her daughter and wouldn't ditch her for anything, not even her mother's rejection."Okay…I am coming," I said and paced into my room hurriedly. I intentionally waited outside so that she could
McCartney's POV"I don't know what to do again. After a moment of her rant, I winked at Stella to edge her to the ground so that I could come in with soldiers to help out. Stella got my point and did as I said, but something drastic happened. I never expected that. Immediately, she edged her to the ground, running towards me. I took a run towards her, Jane stood up with a fierce speed and used the knife in her hand to stab her from her back. Stella is dead ma!" He narrated."What! Repeat what you just said,"I yelled trying to get the point at which he is coming from. "Stella is dead," he announced again.Penetrating my ears, I am almost going crazy at that moment. "Stella can't be dead! No…" I couldn't control the extreme tears that ran down my cheek.That moment, my hope was lost and my purpose of existence got shattered. "AHH! My only daughter…" pains plunged through my soul to an extent that I almost couldn't curtail it.That moment, memories of the dream I had came to reality. Th
Alpha Lucas POVThe brightness of the day brushed on my face, but I didn't wake up because of that until the sun shines bright in the sky.It's an early morning, so it's not that hot. Piercing my eyes, I opened my eyes immediately.'Damn! What a night!' I expressed while I stretched my body trying to make my bones relaxed.Yesterday was really hectic for me due to so many places I have to visit. I yawned aloud.Just then, my heart raced heavily due to what came to my mind at that moment."Tomorrow is the deal day," I muttered heavily. It's either tomorrow or no other day to this.'Damn!' I guess I didn't really plan this well. I don't not count yesterday with my plan, I would have carried her aloud immediately she opened her eyes.I will have to tell her this morning, so that she can use the remaining day to chill and enjoy herself.Although I know she will still think about it and ponder. Immediately she comes to resolve, she will chill a bit and by tomorrow night, everything will be
Alpha Lucas POV"So son! Since you said you have everything planned out, be weary of time. Do you understand?" He quickly added as he stood to leave."I understand Grandpa, I know what you are saying. I will do the needful," I said.He sighed and didn't bother saying any other thing again. I watch him take his leave gently.I understand his plight and I understand his reason for coming. He really cares and understands me a lot. He is a true father figure.Pacing out, he closed the door. I wonder how I will tell Stella's mother tomorrow.I already raised her anticipation, I hope I will be able to tell her every detail about her daughter. I so hope that she wont take everything with anger.My heart races fast as the clock beats hard. I wanted to sleep, but the words of grandpa wouldn't let me rest. I have forgotten about food already.I remembered I told her to go to the dining table to eat. I should be there to eat with her so that she won't feel lonely.'Damn!' I don't know how I forg
Alpha Lucas POV"This is my mansion. I hope you will enjoy staying here," I said.With smiles on her face, "this mansion…" she stressed.I wonder what is it she is thinking about. I guess a few past memories plunged her mind about the mansion."What is wrong?" I asked when I saw tears roll down her cheek."You can't understand, this mansion has been the place of torture and imprisonment for me for a very long time. I remembered when I was first carried into this. It was so terrible," she said.I couldn't smile, because I understand to what extent her grief and pain is. "I understand… McCartney," I said forgetting she has not informed me of her name.Piercing her ear, she looked at me and cleaned her eyes, "lets go inside… wait! How did you know my name?" She asked immediately.I have been expecting her to ask since she is a sensitive person. I won't lie to her. I will not just tell her the whole truth… some parts of the truth must be kept aside."I know you too well even though we hav
Alpha Lucas POVI couldn't believe my ears. My heart skipped several beats and different chills ran through my spine with lots of agony."What!" I sounded heavy for her to come again, because I am caught in-between. I don't know the answer to give.Maybe asking again would get me the perfect answer."Do you have my daughter?" She asked again as she continued to roll her eyes within its socket.I still couldn't believe how she would manage to ask that kind of question. I know how mother's heart is, but asking that kind of question now is unnecessary.I guess I should be the one to give her that kind of information if I wish to."Let's leave that for now and focus on you. How are you feeling?" I deviated from that and asked a better question.I know she should understand that I am not interested in giving her answers to her questions."I am feeling a lot better, but you know, I am having some body aches," she said."It will vanish soon," I said looking at her face."Does this mean I am
Alpha Lucas POV"Okay, I am coming," I replied to the guard and bid him to walk out of my sight.He walks out, but I am still there plummeting through and through.'Stella's mother, let's go see her!' I retorted with heaviness in my heart. I know I should be happy that her mother is alive, but I am not.Her mother would soon hear the saddest news she has never heard in her whole life. I know she would have been waiting to see her daughter for a very long time. How would It be to be told that her daughter is dead? I don't know how she would take it, but it would be more than painful.I bet she would cry all she could. I will even show her the corpse of her daughter without her asking for it. It is necessary that she sees it.I know it won't be easy, but it is something she must be able to chew. I will now tell her the remedy after she might have gone through the pain, but I won't let her recover before telling her so that she won't find it very hard to do.When I see that she is in th
McCartney's POVThe whole environment is dark and somehow windy.I don't understand the whole point of this harsh weather in the middle of everything. I feel tucked in-between and somehow imbalanced with the whole scenario.While I walked through the whole place, I wouldn't stop wondering heavily about the one I missed.'My little daughter!' She has wandered far away from her younger days. I didn't get to see her grow. I am sorrowful and really sad about it. Her father left me on this journey to cater for her alone, how could life be this cruel!I retorted as I walked gently to a nearby stream. Sitting on the edge will help me find solace with myself and my heart can quickly relax within my opinions.It is a shame that things turn out to be like this. Look at where I am, I am in a desolate place where darkness revolves around me. I don't understand anything around here other than the stream I behold, not quite long for where I am standing.I walked there and planted my ass at the ri
Alpha Lucas POVLooking at my lover on the ground without being able to do anything cut across my mind and I feel I couod just do something that will boost her up.My heart is heavy and in severe pains due to what surrounds me. It's burdensome and unhealthy to be this way.While I run my eyes throughout her beautiful soft skin, I could help by touch her cold face.'She is degenerating,' I retorted feeling a bit insensitive and unhappy. I could see a diminishing process on her face.'This is not how I brought her at first!' that statements sounds my heart like a cymbal. It means without taking proper actions, within some day, there are some changes that would be happening to her body.'Damn!' I don't want to be greedy. My thoughts maybe revolving around me and I don't want it to be like that.Looking at her, my heart couldn't hold it, but I have to keep staring to able to chill and relax.Life could be cruel. I know I have the answer between my finger tips, hell no! It doesn't work tha
