FIBI'S POV

The kitchen maid was shedding heavy tears when she ran back to me.

“Jill! What happened? What did he do to you?” I inquired. My alarm was evident in my tone.

The girl hiccuped when she tried to talk. She was not calm enough to explain anything. However when I took a closer look at her apron, I saw for myself what my so-called husband did to her. I narrowed my eyes.

“Alpha King Diego did this?” I went ahead to ask, though the question was unnecessary.

Jill nodded, still sobbing. I fought to retain calmness in my body as I collected the dishes she still held. They were empty now, their hot content plastered to her apron. What sort of a person would pour soup that was piping hot on another person, an innocent kitchen maid for that matter?

I had directed Jill on what herbs to use in making soup for Diego, the herbs that would set him on the path of healing. I even baked his bread myself. Then I instructed Jill to take the food to him in his office, where he now spent the large

    FIBI'S POV I flailed frantically as blood drained from my face. My hands hit his chest a couple of times but it had no effect on him. How could he be on a chair and be able to suffocate me like this? “The next time you start thinking that you're anything special in this castle, remember that I don't give a hoot about you and your life. I try to tolerate you for Mother's sake, but don't imagine that she can save you from me all the time.” He warned. When I thought I couldn't bear it anymore, he released me suddenly. I fell at his feet like a sack of potatoes. As I rubbed my neck, tongue out, trying to get oxygen back into my lungs, I concluded that Diego was the devil himself. Maybe with the kind of sweet mother he had, I had started to think that he couldn't be so bad. That's what gave me all my boldness. But now, I knew for sure; he wasn't just that bad, he was worse! Tears threatened to spill all over my face, but I held them in. Never again would I give him the pleasure

    DIEGO'S POV “Was that…?” My question hung in my mouth as I gave in to my impulse and pursued Lisa.Despite putting my wheelchair on auto drive, she was gone before I could get to her. She fled through the backdoor, and although I could still see her in the far distance, I could not hope to reach her. I gave a frustrated huff, running a hand through my hair. Now that the chase had come to a disappointing end, I allowed my wolf's question to reach me. He kept asking me, “Why are you running after Lisa? What will you do when you catch her?”Honestly, I didn't know. I had no clue what I wanted from her. All I knew was that she left me in a terrible state all those years ago. As I sat in my chair and bitterly stared at the exit door, the past came flooding unwittingly into my memory.…….THREE YEARS AGO “Why can't you at least try to like her?” I asked Mother. She and Lisa just had another misunderstanding that led to her tongue-lashing Lisa. I had to console Lisa as she came crying to

    DIEGO'S POV THREE YEARS AGO… Continued The next thing I knew was such excruciating torture that I had never felt before. Every inch of my skin, flesh and even my bones, hurt immensely.When I forced my eyes open, it was as if pins were dancing on my eyeballs, affecting my vision. When I tried to raise my head, it felt as if a ton of rock was placed on it. I could not even move it an inch.When I even opened my mouth to ask where I was and what was going on, my jaw failed me and my throat refused to produce any sound at all.For the first time in my life, I experienced despair. How could I be like this? It shouldn't be possible, I'm the Alpha King!Mother was standing some distance away, conversing with someone I couldn't see because her body blocked him from my view. It was faint but I could still manage to hear what they were discussing.“What are you saying, Doctor? Do you mean there's nothing we can do for him anymore? He's just going to be like this for the rest of his life?” Sh

    DIEGO'S POV The distasteful memory from three years back made me grit my teeth. I made a complete fool of myself that day and she still left me without looking back.I guess the reason I pursued her so rigorously now was for closure. I detest the way I left things. I gave her so much power over me, surely making her feel like some superstar. I wanted to let her know now, that I despised her. I needed to tell her that Mother had been right about her all along, she was just a callous gold digger; an overambitious omega that I picked out from the gutter, cleaned up, and thought of making her a queen. I think I just needed so badly to assert the manliness that I dragged in the mud three years ago.I could have punished her for the rejection and humiliation. In fact, Greg suggested it strongly. I could have banished her from my pack, or even from the entire werewolf territory. Afterall, I was the Alpha King. I could have made her a rogue. Unfortunately, I was too broken at that time. At

I needed to clear my head and organize my feelings. Why did I feel so disappointed by that particular action of his? He had made it clear again and again that I was less than trash to him. He never hid his irritation where I was concerned. So, why did I expect anything different from him?I clenched my teeth and held back the tears that stung my eyes. Weaving my way through the crowd, I burst outside. I took in large gulps of air, trying to stabilize my thoughts.Suddenly, a hand was clamped over my face, covering my nose and mouth with some form of clothing. I lost consciousness.When my senses came back to me, I found myself in a small room. I jumped off the floor I was lying on. Immediately, a heavy pain went through my skull, making me wince.I went to the door and found it locked. I was already breathing hard and

    FIBI'S POV “So how did you know it was Elder Kaeran of Crystal Pack that snatched Fibi?” I was about to knock on Diana's bedroom door, when her voice reached my ears through the half open door. Diego was obviously inside there with her.Not wanting to interrupt them, but curious to know the answer also, I paused and listened. He replied, “Well, she dares not to block my mind-link. That means not being able to reach her is because she left pack ground. The period of time that I left her was too short to have gone very far. Therefore, the pack she has gone to, must be very close. So I quickly drove to the closest pack from where we were.”“Ah, that's Crystal Pack.” Diana interjected.“Yes,” Diego confirmed. “Once I crossed the boundary, I mind-linked her and it went through. If the mind-link had not worked, I would have rushed again to Fiery Rock Pack, which is the closest to us on the other side.”No wonder, I thought. When he was able to mind-link me, he confirmed that I was truly

Later, I would prepare Diego's dinner with some of them.“Ethan!” I yelped gleefully when I got his mind-link. It was just some days since we last saw each other, but it seemed like ages to me. “You're here! Wait,” I paused mischievously. “Are you here for me or for Greg?”“Oh shush up, girl.” Ethan retorted playfully. “Can I come up? Or should we meet in the living room? I've missed you sorely.”“Don't bother, I need to get out of the castle anyway. Let's catch up in Greg's quarters.” I decided.After clearing up and instructing Jill on what to do, I went to see my friend. We took a leisurely walk around the castle grounds. Before we left, Ethan and Greg shared a brief but intense kiss. I winked at Ethan. Indeed, we had a lot of catching up to do.As we strolled, I filled him in on the events of the past few days, especially the case of my abduction. He

I'm going to massage your legs this evening and every other evening until you can feel them again.” Something about the way she made that promise stirred me up.I thought, ‘well, let me see just how much she means what she said’. “Oh really?” I asked, turning away from my closet. “Are you sure you can withstand that?” As I got closer and closer, I saw her hands dig into the chair she was sitting on. “Please don't be crass. It's only a massage.” She said.“Well, go on then.” I positioned myself in front of her, with only a towel covering my lower body. I saw how her gaze lingered on my abs before she dragged it away to pick up her massage cloth.It pleased my ego to see that she was attracted to my body despite being in a wheelchair. I watched her as she started from my feet and worked her way up. Her hands shook a little at the beginning, but I saw how she soon got immersed in this task she took upon herself. My wolf danced around in my head.

    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

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.

    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

    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“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

    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

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 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.

He stopped reading when he saw that she had nothing meaningful to tell him.
