Author's POVJedidiah skims through several files, checking the laws and reforms of the pack and their account thresholds. She was a little bit upset at the moment but she was doing everything she could to keep herself in check and not make a mess of things. She stopped with the files she was skimming through at the table and went off to check another random fleet of files. She really needed to get something before dawn tomorrow. How couldn't she think of any idea why this was so hard for her. She slammed her fist into the shelf and the wooden barrier snapped in two. She breathed, destroying the shelves won't give her an idea. But how was she to pay the levy when there wasn't really anything for her to use What would anyone else do in this situation? She sat down on her chair, folding her arms as she stared into the horizon just gazing far ahead, her entire brain working overtime. She needed to figure this out as soon as possible. How could she pay Alpha Daniel tomorrow morning wi
Daniel’s POVI shuffled through my plans and was stumped in deciding which plan I should go for when addressing the matter of the school building. I looked at the picture I drew and muttered to myself. “You know, I am something of an architect myself,” I smiled in satisfaction at some of the plans but I knew one or two things were off about it. I needed to push the plan for the building forward as fast as possible because I don't really like letting things drag. As it would seem the other Alphas all seemed to be delaying their contributions and usual fees. One of the few reasons I ruled with a strict face. I hate when I am being taken for granted. It is why I always put everything in line even before I start a project, I make sure I have all I need before embarking on any project. If I had decided to rely on any of them, this might have been a different story.I love when things are in order and everything is regimented and inline. Everyone is doing what they should do for the bette
Abigail’s POVI knew they were trying to make my life miserable on purpose. It was going to take them a whole lot more than that for them to get to me.I knew what they were up to so it was easier for me to just act like it wasn’t happening and continue with my work diligently. Amidst everything I made sure I avoided Laurie at all costs. I didn’t want to see her.Anywhere I heard her presence I made sure I was in another place entirely because I just didn’t want to face her.I woke up very early that morning because I knew I was going to be assigned a lot of duties even if I slept very late last night. I knew it was all to frustrate me because a job that was meant for two to three people was assigned to just me.After waking up and getting ready, I got dressed and walked directly into the kitchen where I knew Sylvia would be to assign my duties. Sometimes I felt like slapping her hard across the face but now wasn’t the time to react.I knew all these while they would be expecting an o
Author's POV“Why do you keep on doing this to me? Why do you keep on acting like I’m not enough for you? Haven’t I done enough for you? Why must you still seek someone else?”“What are you saying? Calm down and slow down with the accusations, I’m not with any other person.”“And I'm a fool that you think you can deceive as you please? It’s not fair of you to put everything aside and still do things the way you want. You don’t care about how it makes me feel or something.” It was obvious that she was hurt when she spoke. She wanted him to take her seriously but he didn’t. He kept on staring at her like some sort of fool when truly he knew about everything she was saying. “Why do you like making things complicated for yourself? You don’t need the stress for anything and it won’t get you anywhere.” He stated coldly. His outburst hurt Laurie as she staggered a little but she came back to order before he noticed. She just wanted him to talk and admit everything that he had been doing a
Abigail's POVI halted when I heard the warning but I was very happy that finally it was coming to pass. I didn't have to waste all my time nor energy to make sure that I finally got everything that I wanted for. It was so lovely that I had to wait all day just to assume that there was probably something that was never going to happen.I should have known that there was something fishy about the message. I know that he was very adamant and that he enjoyed making people know that they shouldn't dare him one bit. There was now needle to fall into that trap. It was a dangerous pit that one has to be wary of. I would rather not have anything to do than dare him because I knew that the end result was probably death.Taking a wide look at everything that has been happening, I think that I don't have any choice but to admit that probably I didn't have any choice than to just return to my quarters and only hope that nothing changes with my duty."Thank you so much. I don't know what to say to
Abigail's POVI ducked instantly so that she didn't see me but that wicked maid grinned. "It's me, Cynthia, and Abigail." She responded.I rolled my eyes at the words. I knew that she was out to make my life miserable. The door was yanked open from within and a frown etched on Laurie's face. I rose because there was no need for me to hide anymore. If the glares she gave me were anything to go by, I knew that I was already doomed and that I should prepare my casket that's if they even allowed a slave to have one. "What are both of you doing in my house?" "We... Actually, I came to report her to you," Cynthia began, a small sinister smile playing on her lips as she saw her staring at me with intense hatred. "Oh, really? What dished do this time?" Laurie inquired while resting her arm on the door. I knew that she was having a field day planning the kind of torture that she was about to inflict on me. Cynthia smirked, "She..." She scratched her head for effect. "broke some of your
Abigail's POVI was stunned by the demand. If she wanted to kill me she should just go ahead instead of throwing me to the wolves. "Do you know what that means?" Laurie replied."I don't know ma'am.""I would have asked that you write your will but I can't say it because you're the poorest." She replied and I sighed I refused to give her the attention that she desperately sought because it was going to bounce back on me and I would have no choice but to allow her to walk over me. I squared my shoulders and walked out of the corridor."Gillian make sure you take her to the alpha. If she moves an inch, make sure that she doesn't live to see another day."I followed them like a lamb to the slaughter and I was awaiting my demise. The alpha was not going to spare me. It didn't mean that I was going to stop defending myself.We arrived in front of the house and my stomach dropped in dread. "Tell me, why you always attract trouble. Why don't you allow the Luna to speak to you as she likes?
Daniel's POVShe recoiled from the sound of my voice as I moved closer to her. I understood people like this. What did she think she was? Important that she had to barge into my house uninvited? I was already seething from the report I received from the borders, some rogues had broken in again and now she was here. Her damn sister refused to send my money and she was gallivanting?"What the hell are you doing here?" "I-i-i... I was sent here by the Luna." I raised a brow at the blatant lie. "you dare lie to me?!" I thundered, I was hanging on a thin thread and was almost about to snap when she walked in. I knew that this was going to cause problems but I didn't even mind at all. "You lie against my Luna?" My claws had protracted digging deep into her skin. My wolf relished the sound that she made. It spurred him on. "No...I wouldn't dare." She managed to respond in a clear voice, I wanted to punish her a bit to see how far she could go before breaking and remembering that I wasn
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
