Sonia POVI've been very happy that I'm currently here. I'm currently working as the Alpha's dresser and everything feels so good.I get to eat whatever I want and I get to take whatever I desire. In fact, I have the other two dressers at my feet. They fear me so much that they now do whatever I ask for.We had to fight before they made such a conclusion. Now they know how powerful I am. And when they discovered how the Alpha had treated me especially, they even feared me the most.I've told them several times, to anticipate the future where I would be Luna instead of my sister. Well, there's no way my sister would long for Eric. I've made sure that doesn't happen. So, there will be an opportunity for me. Eric didn't massacre my family. He didn't kill my father. Hardin did. I mean there was no way Eric would even do something like that which is why he wasn't killing me. Hardin wanted revenge which was why he tried to get in between Eric and Kahlan. Well, it's to my advantage because
SONIA'S POV I felt my world come crashing on me the moment I heard those girls utter those words. I felt weak instantly and only struggled to keep my balance. A Sharp pain tugged at my heart and I felt I was going to die. The ladies gazed at me with confusion, wondering if I was being realistic or just being dramatic like I was most of the time. "Are you being serious now or you're kidding? You know me too well and by now I'm sure you're aware that I do not take lightly to pranks," I sputtered with my hands clenched into a fist. I had developed an instantaneous headache, one that threatened to blow my head up. "And what gain would be ours if we decide to tell you a lie? She's pregnant ma'am…" the eldest of the duo spoke up with her hands shaking uncontrollably. A glance at her and you could mistake her for a jelly. "And where did you say that bitch is being locked up?" I yelled in a loud, baritone voice that sent shivers down the spines of the others who were with me in the room.
HARDIN'S POV I was on the farm, monitoring my men who were busy with the harvest when I heard the news. One of the Omegas had been sent by the beta to inform me of the latest. The beta was working on his side. "What's the problem with you?" I snapped at him with disdain. I couldn't understand why he was shivering like he was some kind of jelly and just wouldn't speak up. "I'm sorry sir. I didn't… mean to upset… you sir. I just came to deliver the news to you, sir," he stammered, fiddling with his hands. He looked extremely frightened that I couldn't help but laugh. "Go on! What did he ask you to tell me?""The Alpha. He's been poisoned." "Oh really? How quickly it took for you to arrive here when the news circulated. Before I headed to the farm, I had heard it from one or two omegas around the pack. Get the fuck out of here and make sure that you bring me news firsthand next time," I roared and sent him off. He ran swiftly with his balls dangling between his legs. I laughed. I w
ERIC'S POVAs I sat on the chair in my chambers, I pondered on so many things. I couldn't understand why Kahlan hated me so much. Nothing I do ever seem to move her or even entice her. It hurts so much and pierces deep into me. I still remember the day she rejected me like it was yesterday. "Do you have to be this hostile towards me? I already said I wasn't the one who killed your parents," I'll say to her whenever she brings up the issue and by now, I have lost count of the number of times I said those words. A hundred, two hundred… I can't seem to remember.I was still rummaging in my thoughts when I heard a knock on the door. It came loud and Sharp, startling me as I wasn't expecting anyone, especially at that time of the day. "Who is it? Come on in!" I muttered, placing a hand over my belly that still hurts. The door came open, revealing the royal doctor and a young lady who bore his bag. I had seen her time over numbers with him and had assumed she was his apprentice. I was wro
KAHLAN'S POVAs I sat in the dungeon, staring into oblivion, I felt my anger rouse in me like never before. I could remember their words of Sonia and how spiteful it was. To think this is the same person I refer to as my sister. I have come to realize over time that she's nothing more than a bitch who wants nothing more than what would benefit her. To think she didn't remember how our parents were killed in cold blood by this same man. Her voice had not an iota of remorse for me but hell, I never needed her remorse. Eric and herself both fit each other. I was still lost in my thoughts when I heard the rustling sound of feet from the Hallway that led to the dungeon. A frown etched on my face and I clenched my hand into a fist, ready for whoever it was that was coming. I could hear the thumping sound of my heart against my chest and yeah, I was pissed. The sounds are reduced."Who are you? Show your face?" I ordered in a loud and baritone voice that could send shivers down the spine o
HARDIN'S POV"Fine, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. I was just saying," she muttered with her lips pouted. I rolled my eyes with indifference, clenching my hand into a fist. "What do you want? What brings you here?" I snapped hurriedly as I didn't want to be seen by the people. I wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible and I was going to do just that."I felt we have something to discuss on… What's the plan now? You know, I feel this sister of mine is taking too long in the heart of Eric. I want Eric to love me and me alone.." she sounded so desperate and full of sadness as she spoke and though I quite understood what she meant and how she felt but I didn't give a damn about it. After all, she was only a pawn in this game of mine. Once I'm done with her, off to the waste bin."Well, this isn't going to be achieved easily you know. You have to make sure that he falls for you… you have to do everything to make sure that he is yours and no one else. Do you get what I'm tryin
Kahlan's POVFear raced through me as I stared at the man who stood transfixed in a spot like he was a statue. I still couldn't believe that it was Hardin who was standing in front of me. I felt a strong urge to lock him in a tight embrace over and over again for being there for me."You still wouldn't believe it's Hardin who is speaking to you. What else do you want me to do to know that I'm the one in front of you?" He queried with his hands akimbo, staring at me. I blushed a bit as he was staring hard as that hadn't been a part of the entire deal."I do believe it's you Hardin but I'm finding it hard to understand how you were able to manoeuvre your way in with all the guards and security garrisoned at the gate."Well well, I have not the utmost idea how that managed to happen but all I know is that it happens and I'm here to see you. I want to see how my baby has been doing this time or is there any law that stops me from doing so?" "No there isn't. You know, I feel so upset and
SONIA'S POV"Damn it! What a temper he has! Always acting so annoying. I wonder how his future mate would deal with him.. phew!" I moaned the moment I got to my room in the palace. I was panting heavily and was pretty exhausted. I knew I could fall any moment from then if I don't get water to drink, but then again, the strength to her the water to drink was something I lacked. My eyes dilated around the room and alas, a bottle of water sat just by the reading table. I remembered placing it there the previous night and drinking only a little from it. "But if he doesn't want to be seen by people, why then did he come to the pack? I heard he was even seen by some people in the pack today…" I said aloud as soon as I had gulped down the Contents of the bottle like one who had not taken water in almost a decade.The door flung open, taking me off guard. I felt my heart jump into my hand at that moment and wanted to hurl insults at the person who had the temerity to act so indolently, but t
