Author's POVXevia didn't know where Alarick was taking her and her baby. But she trusted the man she loved completely. Trusting him like the moon trusts that the night is only for him. And like the clouds that believe the rain will come.***"It's been three days. And he did not return here? I'm scared to be in this place alone," Xevia whined as she scrunched up her face. This was the fifth time she had called Alarick iam, whining for him to come soon. Yes. Alarick had left her alone in the lakeside house. It turned out he was just dropping her off and heading back to the city because he had work to do. Alarick's promise to take her to church and tie the knot had not been realized. Until three days later, Alarick had not returned to the house by the lake. There was no transportation in that remote place, so Xevia couldn't go anywhere but eat and sleep.In the past few days, she has also felt sick and nauseous all over. She attributed it to her body's reaction to the cold weather i
Author's POVXevia and her pregnancy. Now she could only lie in bed all day, her whole body weak, so Alarick had to put an IV tube for her to prevent unwanted things from happening.Alarick was still busy with his work. Working at the shelter in Izlav city, he couldn't just disappear if he didn't want to be suspected. However, the man now returned every day to his lakeside home. To take care of Xevia and bring her food, while during his absence he would lock her in her room.Xevia's white skin had paled, and her body was thinner than ever. The girl looked heartbreaking.Her belly, which contained a fetus, began to grow slightly even though she was only a few weeks pregnant.Only the sound of birds chirping could signal the arrival of morning and evening.Now that evening is approaching, the sound of swallows returning to their home at the end of the hill is circling above the roof of the house.It was a sign that it wouldn't be long before Alarick would arrive and bring her food. He
Author's POVArcher continues to persuade Xander to find Xevia's whereabouts. However, his selfishness and pain exceeded the limit. So for a while he chose to stay in place without movement even though his heart was in turmoil."Come on bro, are you going to let your baby be taken away by that rancid bastard?" Archer tightened his fist on the table.Meanwhile, Xander was like a fool who continued to brood and remain silent."Are you going to-""Will you shut up, Arch!" Xander snapped and snapped at him.Instantly Archer fell silent in shock at his brother's yelling."I'm sorry, Brother, I didn't mean-""I know you are deeply hurt by your mate betraying you. But you can't let our successor fall into the hands of those ruthless alphas. You know what the Ivyari will do with your mate and baby, right? Are you going to stand by like this? And let us lose? Are you going to continue to mourn your heartache for her?" Xander stared silently at his uncle, not daring to argue or do anything that
Author's POVThe female beta approached Xander and immediately introduced herself."I, Ralia, you must be Xander, the dangerous rogue prince, right?"Xander took a few steps back in anticipation."Don't be afraid...""I'm not afraid of you, I'm just wary," Xander replied quickly."Who are you looking for in the forest of the alphas? Do you want to steal the Alpha's treasure?"Xander chuckled, "The alpha's treasure? Do I look so poor that I would steal from those poor alphas?"The woman named Ralia laughed blandly, her laugh sounding more like a wail of sadness."Don't force your laughter, because it will only make your pretty face look hideous." Xander sarcastically told her."Really? Do I look pathetic? But .....""Is it you? Who said that looking happier than me?" Ralia mocked back.Xander growled, "don't waste my time, now quickly tell me are you here to arrest me?"Ralia got closer, until now the distance between the two was only a few centimeters."Are you going to help me get my
Author's POV"Alarick, we have to hand over the girl and the baby to the organization. You can't put it off any longer..."The voice echoed in the silent room, it sounded so clear to Xevia's sense of hearing.That voice made Xevia curious, she knew this would not end well for her, considering it was Louvre Ivyari who said that. Yes, that woman, Alarick's mother.The cruel woman who had made her life more miserable than ever."When will the sacrifice be made, mother?""As soon as possible.""Don't we need to wait for the baby's birth time?""I don't think so, we can cut open the woman's abdomen to force the baby out.""Then what about the other potential sacrifices?""We will do the same to the other potential sacrifices. It's just that you know, this ritual won't do any good if the baby of the blind rogue prince doesn't exist? We really need them, that bitch and her baby...""Alright, mom, I'll take her to the ritual site.""No, you but us...""We have to take her now, we don't have m
Xander slipped into a truck that had just stopped in front of the dome-like structure. It was the only way he could think of at the moment."Who sent you?" someone asked from outside."Mrs. Luciad.""What's in the truck? Can we take a look?""Just groceries and fruits, you can check if you want," the driver replied.Xander's heart skipped a beat at the sound of the guards' footsteps approaching where he was hiding. He was hiding behind wooden boxes that were filled with vegetables and fruits."Matte, Mrs. Ivyari will be here soon, she asked us to be ready.""And what about this truck? I have not checked it yet.""Mr. Josh told me yesterday that there will indeed be a truck carrying groceries for us. So I guess this is the truck he was referring to.""Are you sure?" The officer raised his eyebrows."I'm pretty sure, because this old man has often delivered goods in and out of this place.""Well, if that's what you say,""Hey old man! Come on, you can come in, bring your truck straight
"Are you new?" One of the guards asked when it was Xander's turn to get the stale food.Xander pretended to be helpless and nodded like a weak fool."What department do you work in? How come I never see you?" The guard raised one eyebrow.Xander panicked as the guard asked him about something he hadn't prepared an answer for. But luckily his eyes were sharp enough to catch a list tacked up not far from where he was in line now. A list of the places where these rogues were employed."In the sanktuarium." Xander replied casually.The man came closer to his face, sniffing and trying to recognize him."You are rogues, but why do you look like an alpha? Who caught you?" he asked again."Dumbass, hurry up, the queue is getting longer, why are you questioning that guy for so long?" screeched the guard behind them."Yes, big mouth. Be a little patient. Hey you handsome rogues, you have a nice ass! Step forward!" the guard patted Xander's butt and invited him to step forward. Now Xander could
"How do we get out of here?" Xander asked the man in front of him.The man turned his head and looked at the elevator not far from them."It's the only way, there's no way we're diving in with this woman.""The guard above must be very tight, so inevitably, one of us will have to outwit the guards.""I'll be the one to outwit the guards, and you should take her away from here immediately. Do you understand?"Xander blinked his eyes a few times, he was between belief and disbelief.How could a man he had just met want to be so kind to him. And willing to sacrifice himself for him."Wait a minute-"Xander hesitated, he had no idea what to do with the man. Should he say thank you and leave him, or should he fight with him against those ruthless alphas?"Why are you doing all this for me?" asked Xander."Do you think I'm doing this for you? I'm doing this for my people. I'm going to free them from the confinement and domination of those cruel alphas."The words that came out of the man's
