The Defender. Abigail's POV. I blinked thrice and held my tongue from lashing out at her. This was one of the reasons her future sister in-law hated her. Why the hell would one just decide to be mischievous? "When did this happen?" "This morning, that's why she came here to meet you. She knew that you were going to support her nuances." Laurie kept on lying. "I know how you must feel but both of us know that she isn't the one who stole your jewelry, darling." "You can't disprove my words just because you want to act like you're better than I am. I know what I'm saying. I'm the one who's right, not her." Laurie burst out in anger. Mace kissed her teeth in annoyance and I could see the way she was stopping herself from bursting into a fight with her. I wasn't the one who stole something from her but I knew that she wanted Mace to hate me. I didn't know what I had ever done to deserve such treatment from her. "Are you kidding me right now?" "No, I'm not. I'm telling you the trut
Retaliation. "Abigail the luna wants to see you." Felicity came to my quarters to call me. Her eyes roamed over my face. Yes, I didn't show that I was pissed or tired. The advent of Mace growing closer to me kind of made things easier yet didn't absolve me of all my punishments. I had noticed something about the siblings. They were good people however principled. "I'll be on my way. Haven't you been warned not to call her Luna anymore?" I demanded. Felicity shook her head at my words with a smile on her face, pointing a finger at me, "you my dear friend are a piece of work. What if Felicia overhears you? You are done for." She chuckled, smacking her hands on her laps. "I better get going so that I don't bear the brunt of whatever it is she's calling you for. But... I've never understood why she feels the need to pick on you when you aren't even doing anything wrong." "Don't you think that it is weird?" She asked me but I smiled. As much as she was good to me I was still careful a
Dirty LinenAbigail's POV. I picked up the napkins and began to dust all the chairs and tables even up to her drawing room with her solidly behind me trying to find fault in everything that I was doing. My patience wore thin after thirty minutes of her consistently barking orders at me nagging at every whim. Who the hell did she really think that she was?I continued flipping the chairs over dusting underneath ensuring that I left no trace of dust. I heard a smack across my face and I doubled in shock. Laurie stared at me angrily as though I had committed a crime which caused my head to shake in anger. My lips trembled at the impact and not that alone, the fact that I couldn't retaliate made me almost lose my mind. "Why did you leave this spec of dust?" She demanded. I was not going to take this lightly with her. I took in a deep breath and glared at her. She was getting on my very last nerve. Balling my fists in anger, I saw a hand stretch out to smack me again and I grabbed it
Dirty Linens(ii)Abigail's POV. The slamming of the door caused it to roll at its hinges and I jumped. She was more than pissed anyway but I still felt like something was off, like totally off. She rarely showed emotion. This was a first. This was obviously not the best way to go except I wanted to die miraculously without any trace. I headed right to my quarters, hoping that I'd be able to do something about my current state. It was quite surprising, to be honest, that she was in such a state. As I was leaving, I heard footsteps behind me but I didn't turn, unwilling to give the person the impression that I was scared of them or something like that. If he wanted to get me to panic then he has another thing coming for him.My steps increased as my legs hit the ground sharply. I knew that I had a stalker, it was probably Laurie who sent them after me. I had almost crossed the flower garden, which acted as a demarcation on the road when a hand touched my skin, and I looked up in ange
Abigail's POV. Attacks. "Oh..." I muttered when he finished telling me what he wanted. I would keep believing that he was a good man but the wrong company tried to sway him a bit. The company in this sense was the beloved Mace. "No way in hell would I do that to him. He's your friend, how would you feel about someone doing that to you. I appreciate your concern about the pack but not at his detriment. I know your Alpha too well to know that he would not suffer you gladly especially after all his sacrifices.If it were up to his sister. They would know how to resolve their case but trying to butt in would only cause more chaos than usual. It didn't make any sense anyway. I was only trying my best to figure out what to do so that I didn't go overboard with the way things were moving. "Alright..." He walked away before I remembered that I had not picked up my assigned cleaning tools. I ran back to Laurie's house but skidded to a halt when I arrived at the front of the porch. "I am t
One Good Turn. Abigail's POV. I wasted no time ducking when I heard shots firing in the air. I think I was pretty sure at this point that something was wrong but I didn't want to concern myself with the details when I could just run. We dashed behind the bush and I saw Mace placing a hand on her stomach. If anything, I was scared for her and hoped that she didn't slow us down. "You can go and alert a lot of people." She breathed through her nostrils. I was shocked by the way she was acting; I mean, this didn't make any sense. I wasn't going to leave her in this condition to go alert anyone. What if she got killed? I could already see how this was going to be. Her brother was going to lose his mind if he noticed that she wasn't in the right place where she was supposed to be. "No, I won't leave you here." She glared at me in annoyance. "I ordered you to do something and you are refusing. Do you want to die!" She yelled in annoyance. I was pretty sure that by now if she had a way
Right Standing. Abigail's POV. The next thing I felt was an arrow sticking to my back and I shook in pain. My only joy was that Mace had disappeared. I knew that these people were coming for me. It was all her fault. if she had listened to me in the beginning, we wouldn't have been this exposed. Several footsteps ran after me, but I wasted no time in also running. Since I was utterly alone I could find my way and maneuver things so that I didn't die. The worst thing was that there were no patrol guards around. That sent the wrong signal to me. It was either they were bribed, or they had been killed, period. I sincerely hoped that it was the latter. If not, the whole pack was doomed. "How dare that good-for-nothing girl be able to win you like no man's business? This is an absolute shame on you." I heard one of the men talking to the man that I just finished fighting with. I halted when I saw that I was going to lead them to the mountain. That would be an uneven playing field for
The Infiltration. Alpha Zayne walked into the pack area as he scanned the area.Alpha Zayne's pack members were behind him as they looked burly and strong.They all stood tall and looked gallant as he watched the pack of Alpha Daniel cower in fear."I demand that Mace, who happens to be the sister of Alpha Daniel, follow me." Zayne hollered at the top of his voice."If Miss Mace won't come along, I vow to wipe this pack off the land of the living." Alpha Zayne said in a commanding tone."So says Alpha Zayne!" He hollered with a strong stance.Jake was visibly angry and he walked without fear and stood before Alpha Zayne, as he wore a defiant look."You're nothing but a loser and a lowlife!" Jake uttered in his face."Hmmmm. I don't really give a damn about what you say, I've come here for Mace and I'm leaving with her." Alpha Zayne responded."I hereby challenge the great Alpha Zayne to a battle! One that would settle the scores for good." Jake challenged him verbally."Attack! All p
Abigail's POV. "Look how far we've come, from beginning a family to planning everything as they are. It's been wonderful," Daniel spoke as he walked through the porch. "Is this what I think it is?" I inquired.He hugged me from behind and planted a kiss on my neck. "We've been able to conquer every opposition on our way, and that makes it very worthwhile. When last did you speak to your pack?" He asked."I don't know, they should be fine." I spoke while rubbing my belly softly. "Do you want me to get close to the pack?" He looked at me slowly and shook his head, "I want you to be done with all of them." I smiled at him. "I was thinking about merging the packs together." I told him. "We can do that." She replied, and I looked at him.We walked towards the balcony and overlooked the Pack. Things were really picking up. "Mom!" Raine called and we turned. "Rachel is troubling me!" He ran towards us and I rolled my eyes at him. I didn't think this was possible anyway. "Oh really?"
Daniel's POV. "I can't find Raine!" Abigail's voice sounded with urgency that had me jumping up from bed and dashing towards the door before remembering that I had no clothes on. "He was here with Mace a few minutes ago but now she's telling me that he is nowhere to be found. I have searched everywhere but now my mind is going haywire. I don't know where he is." This was a mess. My eyes roamed across the room seeking an answer to my questions. "Call Macy, I need to speak with her." I replied and immediately switched to my mind link. This had to be done almost immediately. "Jake, tell me what I hear is not true. How the hell would my son disappear from the public eye when you were supposed to keep him safe?" I inquired angrily. "How far I am completely perplexed about the situation. Although I am already returning, I will send out some scouts so that we can get to the bottom of this issue right now." He reassured me. Something wasn't right, yet I couldn't place my finger on it. If
Collaboration. "Are you the person I was supposed to meet?" Laurie inquired from a dark figure that shoved his hands into his pockets with his head bowed so that no one could figure out who he was. "This is not a perfect place to meet. You are only going to land me in more trouble. One of the basic reasons I have been wasting my time so far with you is because I believe you have something good for me. If you know that this request to see me will not yield anything fruitful, then we should both part ways and act as though we have never met." Laurie spoke.Alpha Liam gazed right and left looking for the perfect way to broach his subject without her disturbing him. He had a plan that would be brought to fulfillments if she was sensible enough not to disturb him one bit. "You should be very careful with words as they could break or make you. We are here for a common purpose, the best thing you can do is to be calm about it. I've heard how frustrated you are that your husband or boyfrien
The Return. "Alpha, the pack is under fire." Jake told me and I turned towards him. "What do you mean by the pack being under fire?" I inquired from Jake who was staring at me like I had grown three heads.Jake probably thought that I was losing my mind with how calm I was instead of fidgeting at the way he was acting. "Abigail has arrived." He announced and looked at me warily as if expecting me to say something that he'd not like. This wasn't going to make any atom of sense to him whatsoever."Tell her to come in then, instead of just standing over there. I want to see my kid. Call Mace so that she doesn't miss this lovely opportunity." I instructed him. After discussing with him, he was still looking at me warily but I was less concerned about his stare. He was afraid of Laurie finding out that I had a kid but at this point too, I was also going to introduce her to the pack. My son wouldn't live as a fugitive and all that I want to discuss is finding a better way of dealing wit
Sore Loser.Alpha's Liam strode out of Abigail's apartment with a glare on his face. Who would have imagined that she would turn down his offer after everything that he has done for her? Providing shelter, food and even a job when she was nothing but a rogue, and now she had the audacity to say that she wasn't in the mood for any relationship. Abigail on the other hand tried to stop him but he wasn't having it. This was one of the issues she had with a lot of men who felt like being helped had to resort into exchanging sexual favors. Alpha Liam threw a bottle of Chamdor on the floor causing it to shatter into pieces. She was an ungrateful b**** that needed to be repaid in her coin. How the hell did she suddenly define her taste after getting everything she wanted from him. Now he was a fool and that caused him more pain than he had ever felt in his life. He would never have expected that he would fall victim to such a thing. 'You have been fooled, Liam. This is the height of your f
Back-and-forth.Abigail's POV."Raine... stop that." I called my toddler who was staring at me with a small smile on his face as though he knew what I was talking about. He was so intuitive and smart for his age that a lot of people were envious of him. "Are you sure this kid is almost a year old?" Daniel spoke over the phone when he had me calling him to stop moving his toys around. I nodded then realized that he couldn't see me. "Can't you switch to video calls so that you can see the extent of the mess he made and don't think that I am just making it up?" I inquired. A few seconds later I saw Daniel smiling at me. As though Raine knew that I wanted to video him, he stopped moving around and started smiling at me with a toothless grin."I think this boy is too smart. He knows that I wanted to show you what he was up to." Daniel's chuckle tickled my skin as I listened to his voice. "Are you serious? I was very mischievous when I was also little so I believe it is inherited. My mo
BetrayedAuthor's POV. "Where are you coming from?" Laurie demanded from Daniel as soon as he returned home afterward. "You know better than to leave me here for a while yet return like I'm a piece of furniture." She demanded from him. Daniel paused as soon as he pulled the door open. "Good evening to you too, Laurie." He replied.Laurie refused to take his mode of speech seriously. He was only trying to gaslight her. "Do you realize that there is something wrong with us, Daniel? You don't care,do you?" She accused him but he didn't speak to her. "I am talking to you, Daniel. You won't turn me into a mad fellow! I'm trying to ensure that there is a semblance of order in the Pack but you're going ahead to do whatever you like. How does that even make any sense?" She accused him. Daniel was wroth yet considered their closeness. It was stupid for him to act all angry when it was something that they could just resolve slowly. "You are angry that I neglected you, which I apologize for,
Heartfelt Apologies. Abigail's POV. Meanwhile on the other hand, I watched Daniel stroke Raine's head softly as he looked ahead to see what was happening. "Is something wrong with him? He's been sleeping too much." Daniel blurted in fear. "He's sleeping from the aftereffect of the medications." I answered him, chuckling softly as he was acting as though there was a problem with my son. "Are you scared?" He nodded, "Very. I can't allow any harm to come to him. This is very basic but I believe that we can still do something about it, you know?" "About what?" "Our situation. You can return home with me." He suggested. "Since when did your pack become my home? After I gave birth huh? You've not even ascertained if this kid is yours, assumptions kill you know?" I retorted. He had been acting all cool and kind to me since we met again but I knew how harsh this man could be so I wasn't buying it. Daniel ran a palm across his face tiredly. "Do you realize that I wouldn't be here if I
Lonely Home. Meanwhile Jedidiah had managed to return home but was panting mercilessly as she went ahead to have a discussion. It was crazy that someone would be so interested in rubbishing her when she wasn't one of those girls. It was crazy but she would not take this one bit. Thankfully, Daniel was not at home and he didn't make it mandatory for her to remain in the Pack. It sent the wrong signal to her anyway. What the hell was she thinking about? Didn't she know that he was cruel in the first place? She thought and shook her head.As soon as she crossed the threshold she felt that something was different yet refused to stall further, she headed into the house and was shocked to meet the love of her life smoking."James, what the hell are you doing?!" She fired at him but was greeted with a grin on his face. He had no single remorse whatsoever concerning what he was doing. For all he cared, she was only just acting out of point instead of doing what he should."Do you realize ho
