GAIAI've not been able to get any sleep in the past week. Juan had gotten very very sick and we had to rush him to the hospital. Apparently, it wasn't just allergies but then the doctors don't know what it is so I've just been there, waiting on them while they took his blood, urine, swear and every fluid that was in his body. I watched my son flinch in pain every time the needle pierced his skin and I could do nothing about it. “Ma’am, we would like to do a few more tests to determine what exactly is wrong with him.”That statement made me so mad. I had to drag the doctor out of the office. “Few more tests? Doctor, you've spent the last week taking blood from every part of his body. I don't think he can take anymore. He's already stretched to his limit. Do you want to break him?”“Ma’am, I can assure you that's not my intention. I'm just trying to do what's right for him. With the way he's sick, we can't just release him back to you and hope for the best. We need to determine wha
ELI After she left the room, I sat down on the bed, thinking about what she had said. I understood what she was again. I wasn't looking down on Seth either. He had managed to mess a lot of things up and kill a lot of people so I would be stupid not to acknowledge him. We were advancing to his pack tomorrow. All preparations had been made and everything was set to go. A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts and I stood up to open it. “Bernard, what is it?”I let him enter the room and then closed the door. “I was just looking for you. Are you okay?"“Yeah, why would you ask? Is everything okay downstairs? Do you need me for anything?”He looked at me for a moment before sitting beside me. “No, everything is fine. You're not okay, what's up?"I didn't want to talk about it but Bernard was married with two kids. Maybe he will understand this whole women's drama better than I did. “Rowena is mad at me from not being scared. She thinks I'm being too over confident and I'm going
GAIA “Say what you're here for and let me be on my way. I have more important things to do today.”Even though I knew he couldn't do anything to me, I couldn't help but be apprehensive since he was around me. After all, he was still who he was. Evan was at the door, standing so still I almost forgot that he was there. He was on alert, as always. “What are you going to do? Walk out on me?”I looked at him, gnashing my teeth in anger. I hated the fact that he had a hold over me. “You have less than an hour, Mr Miller.”I sat in my chair, laying out his files in front of me. My secretary had brought it in this morning and I didn't even bother to look at it because I didn't want to have anything to do with it in the first place. “Well, I'm sure you already have my file. My father was killed and I want you to investigate it. I want to take his killer to court and bring him to justice.”I paused and laughed. “Maybe you don't remember but I'm a corporate lawyer. A corporate financial l
ELI We speedily advanced towards his pack. It took us a little over half a day to get there. There was no need to sneak in and act like we were trying to invade his pack. No, we were attacking and taking over. “Is it just me or it's weird that there were no guards at the border?” Benny whispered in my ear as soon as we entered the pack. “What are you talking about?” I turned to the men right behind me “Search the houses! You, come with me!" A couple of guards and I marched towards Seth's house. Today, he would feel my wrath. The place was as dry as a desert. It was like it had been abandoned..“Search the entire property!” Where the hell was everybody? “Eli, can't you hear what I'm saying? Look around you, there's no one here!" He was right.“Then where the hell is he? He can't possibly disappear with his entire pack, can he?” “Yes, he can. If he has the information that you're coming today, he could easily have made preparations and evaded you. Mark was right, there's a mol
EVELYN So this whole thing was just to get me. This whole drama was just a ruse to bring me here. “No! We don't have what we want yet. She's not married to you, she doesn't even like you so what on earth do you think you have? You think just because she's here then she loves you? She loves him too much to even look at you. She is playing you, don't fall for it.”Shit, who was this person that knew me so well? It had to be someone that was close. Someone that was always around me. But I didn't really have a lot of men around me. If it were Lucian, it would be different. That includes Shawn and my guards of course. But this wasn't Shawn's voice. Shawn's voice annoyed me when I heard it but this sounded more calm, more mature. And so far, none of my guards were that old yet. They were very young men. “So what should I do? I need her to marry me willingly. I need her to want to marry me.”“Then you use the thing you love against her.” Oh, I was so happy I came here at this time. “
She didn't end up moving out of the house. She never thought that she'd have the strength to do such a thing but looking back, it was the best thing she could have done because now, not only was she free from the bodage she called marriage, but she was also free to move on with her life. But she just couldn't do that last part. She tried to move on and pack her things out of the house but she couldn't bring herself to. Maybe it was because she had spent too much time in this house and she was used to it that leaving it would mean leaving a part of her behind. Or maybe it was because she wasn't ready for all that was going to happen in the following days to come. The media would have a field day with that kind of story. She could already imagine the headlines. It would only be a matter of time before everyone found out about Sophia. And then she would know no peace. She hated drama so much. She would actually do anything to avoid it. But what would she do to get away from this no
EVELYN When I woke up, I was hungry as hell. It was as if I had not even eaten for days. I didn't know how long I had been knocked out so maybe that would be the reason. I was really pressed and there was no one here. My leg felt like it was being splitted into two so I just sat there with my bladder about to burst. ”Hello?! Is anyone there?!” Maybe even the guards could call for some help, that would be good. The door opened and a gaurd entered. “My Queen, do you need anything?”“Yes, get me a maid right this instant before I piss myself and get my husband.”He ran out, leaving me there and I wanted to look at my leg but with the way I was feeling, I would just get more irritated. A maid entered and helped me off the end. I sughed in relief when I sat on the toilet and let the liquid flow out of me. I almost died. Now, I could look at my leg and imagine the way- as I stood up from the toilet seat, I felt the vomit at the back of my throat about to come out. Before I could pu
EVELYNI spent most of that night going over the file and looking at each girl individually. These kids were just babies. Who would want to take teenagers? And what would they want to use them for? If they were taking people from the pack maybe for information, it would not make sense to kidnap them for that because they knew little to nothing about the kingdom. The only teenager who knew more than he should was Nathan. It occurred to me that the women said that more than these kids had been kidnapped since the beginning of the year. Tomorrow, I would ask that their files be brought to me too. Maybe there was a connection I was not seeing because I was sure that they were not just selected at random. Could their kidnappings have something to do with Nathan's or was his just because he was the Alpha's son? Also, how do I know it wasn't planned by one of those upright custom followers who felt that Nathan shouldn't become king? I wouldn't sit here and act like I didn't know what pe
THIRD PERSON POVHe left Alpha Dimitri's house in anger, storming back to the car and getting in. He wasn't exactly angry that the Alpha didn't take his daughter as a wife. He had been hoping for it too because he knew the Alpha had a wife already and no responsible man would marry two women just months apart. So he was grateful for that at least. But he was still mad about the fact that his daughter was pregnant. Nothing could change that. But another thing that wouldn't change was the fact that his daughter was going to be the other woman and that child would never be the heir. That was something he couldn't allow. He had a reputation to uphold and he wouldn't let this situation mess that up. Since Alpha Dimitri couldn't marry his daughter, then he had to do something he didn't want to. He didn't believe in abortion and he didn't ever think that he would ask his princess to do a thing like this but right now, he didn't have a choice. He couldn't let such a thing happen and me
EDEN I knew from the moment she came from the stairs that something was wrong. From the way she walked to the way she spoke to Roman, I could tell that something was different. Off. Then she looked at me as Roman walked away. Then I confirmed. “Why are you here?”She looked shocked that I had recognised her because her eyes widened.But she knew that there was no need to deny it. “Is it you or is it her?"“It’s me, she's having problems coming out. What are you doing here?" She seemed to relax when she figured out that it was me and she chuckled and fell back on the chair behind her. “So it's you. It's about time we had a discussion. Have a seat."“Don't act like we're friends all of a sudden. What are you doing in my house? And what are you doing in Quinn's body? Where is she?!” What the hell did she do with Quinn?“You might want to reduce your voice. We don't want any of the maids or guards hearing anything about this. Have a seat and then we can talk.” I let out a heavy
LUCIAN At this point, I was being forced what I originally didn't want to. Find out who the mole is. There was no way I would know who told Golden Blade King that we were coming because basically everyone was there that night. All the guards, all the maid and the elders knew so how would I be able to single one person out? “A test.” I looked at Kira as she stood over me while I thought. “What did you say?”“A test, Lucian. You can spread some silly rumor and then watch who leaves the pack. Before, we didn't know that there was a spy but now that we do, we'll be on the look out.”That seemed like it would make sense. I should definitely try that. “What should I say?”“Let's do something outrageous. Let's say the prince has returned with some other kids and they're going to tell us what happened and even take us back to where they were being held.”That made sense and sounded like it would work. “Fine then, you can get on that. I don't know how you want to make it seem natural th
EVELYN I watched her as she walked away, not knowing what exactly to say. My head cleared and I just stood there, replaying her words in my head. Had I heard right? She was behind the attack. Tears gathered in my eyes and I wondered if I should go after her and ask her to explain herself. Why did she have to go that far just to get back at me? Why did she have to do that? If she wanted to kill me, she could have just come up to me and done it without having to put Nathan's life at risk. What if something had happened to him? What if Lucian hadn't come there in time and I had no place to go? Tears fell from my eyes and I slowly made my way upstairs to my room. I wanted to be alone for now, training could wait. If anyone should ask me why I was crying, I wouldn't know what to tell them so it was best that I just went to my room. As I climbed the stairs, I bumped into someone again. What the hell was with me and bumping into people today?Since my head was bent down as I didn't
The sun was coming down when Wayne came out of the building. He'd had a long day and he couldn't wait to get home and lie in his bed. He just wanted to rest after the events of the past week. “Mr Wayne!”“Mr Wayne! Look here! Do you have anything to say concerning the rumors?!” “Are you truly married?"“What is your wife like?” There was a swarm of reporters outside his building and any sleep that Wayne was feeling before was long gone. They were bombarding him with questions and his bodyguards had to come to his aid by pushing them away from him so they wouldn't hurt him. “One question at a time. Calm down.” He finally managed to calm them down and listen to them. “Mr Wayne, what do you have to say about the rumors that you're married?” Wayne sighed. He knew it was going to come out sooner or later. He just wished it would have happened on a day when he wasn't so tired. “I’m happy to assure you that they're all rumors. I'm still a bachelor and I haven't ever been married in
LUCIANKira started working immediately on the information we had. Now, I knew that the only reason why River took Nathan was because he wanted his delusion of a family to be complete. Beneath the picture of River, Nathan had began drawing the picture of someone. The face wasn't complete, probably because he ran out of time but he wrote the word “spy” in very small letters. Kira was she knew who noticed it and showed it to me. I have such a smart boy. So now I know that he spy motion wasn't a goose chase. Nathan knows who the person is or else, he wont have written that. “The pictures have been circulated around the pack. Soon, we'll have news about their girl and who's child she is. In the mean time, more gifts arrived.”I'd spent the last few days, visiting all the kids that had been returned to their parents. Since I wasn't there for them when they were taken, the least I could do was to see them when they were returned. I knew if Eve was here, that's what she'd do. “Lucian,
ROMANI didn't go anywhere today. I wanted to spend the day with my kids, just being with them and playing with them. School was back in session and it felt good that they came back home to me. Since it was just me for now, I didn't have a choice but to look after every aspect of their life even down to little details. Quinn says I should let the maids handle it but I can't. I can't leave my kids to other people to take care of them. I felt the responsibility to be there for them when they needed me. I didn't have anyone to take care of me. My father didn't exactly give two shits when it came to me and I didn't want a life like that for my kids. I wanted them to know that their father thought about them and loved them. My kids were the only reason I did everything I did, they were the reason I worked hard to be a better man.. I wanted to show them just how much I cared about them. As for Eden, I don't even know what to do about it. I didn't know what to say about her and I didn't
ALPHA DIMITRIShe had fallen asleep at some point during the night. After I'd pulled her closer to me, I could feel her body temsedd and even though I told her to relax, I could still hear her rapid breathing.I'd quietly gotten out of bed so as not to wake her up and to disappear before she did. Just as I was done dressing up, there was a knock on the door and I cursed underneath my breath, wondering who the hell that could be and what they could want. Luckily, Ally didn't wake up and I rushed to the door to stop the person from knocking again. “What?!” I spat. It was a maid and she moved back a bit at my tone. “Good morning, Alpha. My apologies for the disturbance but there's someone here to see you."“At this time?” It wasn't even eight in the morning “Who the hell could it be?" “It’s Princess Violet.”What? Violet? After the warning I'd given her yesterday? She still had the guts to ahoe her face here? That woman had some guys. “Tell her that I'm busy. I can't see her righ
