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
Biting Fingers. Abigail's POV. A few Days later. "I hate her. How could she be so careless as to strike a deal with the devil?" I heard Felicia speak while I passed. I was a bit worried about what was happening in the pack. A few people were beginning to talk about Mace like she hadn't done anything good. It's made me realize how my people also turned their backs on me just because I was wolfless. It pained me whenever I saw people always forgetting the roots of their success. Miss was very good at making sure that a lot of people's lives were balanced. I enjoyed her generosity despite being a maid. In all of this, I was yet to see how Laurie would react. I heard that Alpha Daniel had gone to Alpha Zayne's Pack to destroy them. I had no doubts that he was going to fulfill his mission. Everyone in their right senses knew better than to toy with his beloved people. "Will you keep shut?" Felicity slammed those gossipers. "That lady has done more than any of you have done for your
The Ambush. Abigail's POVI walked with brisk steps towards the infirmary. I had heard that Mace was very critical, so I decided to go and check how she was doing.I kept walking as worry dominated my mind and I couldn't stop thinking about Mace.I arrived at the entrance of the infirmary as I saw the nurses attending to different patients.I approached the nurse at the receptionist area and she looked busy with different files in her hand. I summoned the courage to ask about the entire situation with Mace."Hello Miss I'll like to know about Mace that was just admitted yesterday, or so into this facility." I asked the busy looking lady."Well, you're aware that she actually had a miscarriage right?" She asked me."Yes I'm aware of the situation." I responded quickly."I'd like to check on her." I requested looking at the busy nurse with hope in my eyes."Sure she's in a stable condition unlike yesterday." The nurse replied to my query.It didn't take long before she signaled to anot
A week Later, Daniel's POVI rubbed the back of my neck, trying to work out the tension, I couldn't stomach the thought that something was wrong with the pack.I sighed, knowing that I needed to push those thoughts aside for now. There was no way I could just up and leave, not without raising suspicions or causing more trouble.I turned away from the window and headed downstairs. I needed to find Jedidiah. It was time to have the meeting I had so conveniently managed to avoid last night. A part of me wondered if that was a mistake, if I should have just faced it head-on instead of hiding away in my room, but what was done was done. No use dwelling on it now.When I got to the main room it was empty, then I heard a light chatter that led me into the dining room, everyone was seated around the table, the smell of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon filled the air, but my appetite was nowhere to be found. Jedidiah was at the head of the table, her expression unreadable as she met
Ally. James watched furiously as Daniel counted the thick stack of money he held in his hand with a smug smile on his face. Each flip of the crisp paper seemed like a slap to Jame's face. He felt his entire being spike at every second he had to watch Daniel count his money.When Daniel finally tucked the bundle of cash into his back pocket and grazed over to his car,a black Mercedes packed a few meters away, James fury knew no bounds.He turned sharply on his heels to face his lady, who stood a few places behind him. Her eyes were downcast, her shoulders slumped. The sight of her standing there appearing so frail and defeated, only filed his rage on.“Why the hell didn't you do anything?” James spat, a low growl echoed through the evening air. “You just stood there like a weakling, letting him take our money! What's the matter with you?” He shouted abrasively.She flinched at his words, her eyes snapping up to meet him. They were filled with a mixture of hurt as she drew in a deep br
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
