DIEGO'S POV FOUR MONTHS LATER “My love, my heart, my mate! I know that my actions have hurt you deeply, and I am sorry. I know you only did what you did last time, because of how I treated you.”“You don't even want to see me again or give me a chance to even explain myself. I actually left for your own good. I didn't want to add my own worrying nature to the agony you would be going through already…”Diego had had enough of Lisa's bullshit. He stopped reading when he saw that she had nothing meaningful to tell him. He squished up the annoying note she sent to him, and with a mighty yell, he propelled it out of the window.She was even trying to paint herself as a selfless goddess, claiming she abandoned him for his own good. Imagine!“Meanwhile, there's someone who didn't even experience you having your full walking ability before she found you disabled. This she-wolf I'm talking about did not run away. She stayed by you and nursed you back to health. She didn't mind that you hated
MANDY'S POV Life was going really well for me. Who knew that all Sebastian needed in order to value me, was for me to carry his seed! That bitch, Fibi, almost ruined everything for me. But I was smarter than she could ever be.I rubbed my protruding belly, recalling how outraged Sebastian had been when he found out that I told her about my pregnancy. I had put on my top grade acting skills that day. Amusement bubbled out of me as I remembered it.I had clutched my belly and widened my eyes as if they were about to pop out. The way I screamed, I'm sure he thought his pups were hurt and would be lost forever.He had stopped scolding me at once. Instead, he led me to his room to lay down and rest. The same room he never let me enter before, unless he called for me. The same room he didn't hesitate to put Fibi. I finally got to stay here as my own room too.I chuckled. I now knew exactly how to get my way with my husband. I'd been milking it since that time. I enjoyed whatever I wanted,
MANDY'S POVSeething through my teeth, I dragged the door open. Something caught my eyes on the floor where the door had been covering before.I bent my knees cautiously, and picked up the piece of paper. On it were the words: “If you're ready to get rid of your rival once and for all time, meet me at the foot of the oak tree beyond the gates.” I flipped it around, there was nothing else; no name.I looked past my door, this way and that way. I didn't see anyone who could have left the note.My rival. The only person that could ever be described as my rival was Fibi. Of course I would prefer to get rid of her forever, to be sure that I would never have to worry about her again.Should I go to this person I didn't even know? I remembered Sebastian's vow to get Fibi back into his life. To think that he was ready to even defy the alpha king in order to have her for himself. Crazy. I made up my mind at once. I had to see what this mysterious fellow had to offer.I already managed to sneak
ETHAN'S POVI woke up from a short nap to find Greg just smirking at me. Oh yes, I was almost always at his quarters these days. Spending even a day apart from each other felt like someone took away my air. A pity that sometimes King Diego would take him away on business for several days or even weeks. Those days were hell for me.I stretched, groaning extensively as I did. I smiled up at the man I had come to love deeply. “What?”He grinned mischievously before answering, “You know, I think you’ve gotten a bit too comfortable with my side of the bed.”That's right, he used to insist on sleeping on the outer portion because it made him feel free, but I loved that part of the bed too! He gradually left it to me, and now, that side belonged to me. I feigned innocence. “What are you talking about? I’m just spreading out to make sure we have enough room.”He chuckled and said, “Uh-huh, sure. You’ve practically claimed the whole thing, both my preferred side and the center. I’m just here f
FIBI'S POV“Fibi, Alpha King Diego was just here! He is looking for you!” Mother informed me urgently in a mind-link.“What? Why is he looking for me? Does he know? I hope you didn't tell him!” Panicking, I flooded her mind with my questions.“Relax, Fibi.” She tried to soothe me. “He doesn't know anything, I didn't tell him that you are going to give birth to his prince. It is not my information to give, and I respect your decision, even though you know I don't agree.”My pounding heart settled down. Truly, Mother had been very supportive of me, never forcing me to do what she thought I should do. Instead she would gently advise me. “You know, Mother, I never appreciated you for your wise decision. You didn't take me to a hospital that day because Sebastian would have easily found out that I almost took my life. He would probably have thought he was important enough that I would kill myself over him. But that's not even my business. The fact that you took me to that healer that you
FIBI'S POV The little girl released a gleeful laughter and called out to me. “Mother!” She said. I turned to smile lovingly at her.She was so pretty, with shimmering white hair that caught the rays of the sun and glinted. My heart swelled with pride. Suddenly, as she was twirling towards me, the sun dimmed. The moon rose in place of the sun, casting its soft glow directly on the little girl.She stopped and raised her face to the moonlight, soaking it in. Her skin glowed like it had its own light. Her eyes, her hair, her skin, they all became the same color as the full moon.I stood in awe as I watched her. She faced me unexpectedly. “Take heed!” She cautioned. “Protect me at all cost, for in me lies the salvation of the wolf kind from human terrorism.”Her voice was like the tinkling of many small bells.I jumped up from the pile of blankets that I usually slept on as my bed. It was all a dream after all. But it didn't feel like just a dream. I put my hand on my pregnancy.“Take he
FIBI'S POV No, there was no way I could live with myself if I left her here like this.Then I got an idea. I rushed back to my underground home. Grabbing one of my sleeping blankets, I hurried back to the hole in the ground.I managed to drag her out till she was on top of the blanket. Heaving and pulling the blanket, I was able to get her into my hideout. Getting her down the ladder was far more tricky, but I managed it.By the time I laid her down, I was sweating profusely. I took a few minutes to rest and regulate my breathing. Then I examined her. She was bleeding from her arm and her feet. I guessed that her feet injuries would be from running barefooted. However, that of her arm seemed like something tore through the skin, perhaps it was a tree branch.I didn't have much resources here, but I did what I could to clean up her wounds. All she had on the sole of her feet were scratches and bruises, I expected them to heal immediately I finished cleaning. But they didn't. I frowned
ETHAN'S POV“Where is she?” Alpha King Diego roared, his voice making everything in his throne room to tremble. I also trembled in front of him, but I stood my ground. I had to.It was two days after his visit to Sea Stone Pack to look for Fibi. He had summoned me immediately I got back to Greg's place. I already admitted to knowing where Fibi was, but I refused to divulge her location.“I'm sorry, King Diego.” I sobbed. I tried to reason with him, “She made me promise, and I cannot betray her trust. She already lost faith in men, I can't let her lose faith in friendship too.”The king appeared shocked that I could resist his roar and still not tell him what he wanted to know. He gave a frustrated puff and ran his hand through his hair. His eyes blazed white, with a cold fire when he glared at me.I could see him struggling to hold himself back. The truth is that, if he should use his full Alpha King command voice, I wouldn't be able to withstand it. I didn't understand why he didn't.
DIEGO'S POV “I'm sorry, King Diego. She made me promise, and I cannot betray her trust. She already lost faith in men, I can't let her lose faith in friendship too.”These words from Ethan, Fibi's best friend, were so profound in my ears. They went deep into my heart. I was one of the reasons that she stopped trusting men. I can't also be the reason she would stop trusting friends.The way he could even stand his ground despite my Alpha command, was very impressive. It showed he could do anything for his friend, and I wanted that for her. Really, I did. But every hour that passed without me having my wife back, was like a knife being twisted in my very soul!I needed my wife, and I needed her now! I glared at Ethan, but it was actually myself I was angry at. For mistreating and letting go of a rare gem, a she-wolf like no other.I held myself back from using my full authority as Alpha King to pry the information from him, because then Fibi may believe that he betrayed her. But I coul
