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
EVELYN KIra was right. I was pregnant..I also didn't believe it when the doctor told me..Id given birth to my daughter, Lana last week. She was the most beautiful thing to ever exist and I felt like I'd fallen in love all over again. She came out looking like Lucian which pissed me off so much. “According to my father, a girl has not been born into this family in ten centuries. But you, my Queen, gave me a daughter. You made me a special father and I love you for that.”“So you weren't a special father when you had us?” Nathan asked. Lucian barely turned around look at him. “Shoo, everyone has seen you. I'm speaking to my wife and my daughter.”I laughed..”She’s going to be so spoiled.”Lucian was very good at spoiling kids and that's why Lucian was going to be just as his father was. Spoilt. “You can say that again. She's going to be daddy's girl. My little princess.”She made me happy and she made all of us happy. She was a blessing. Lucian had to leave because a guard call
LUCIAN I had a raging headache that was about to burst through my head. I'd been in this seat for almost ten hours, from one meeting to another and I'd been talking and talking and it felt like it would never end. With the recent actions of the Argan Cult, I had no other choice but to start thinking of ways to protect my wolves. “So what are we going to do if we can't fight them with weapons?” “We have to ask for help from the witches, Alpha. We can't do this on our own."That was something I didn't want to hear. “Don’t even bring that up. Why can't we do it on our own? They're just men, aren't they?” I knew that they weren't just men but then I didn't want to ask for help from those people. “Alpha, I know you have reservations when it comes to the witches but then you have to think about how they could help us. I mean, we can't fight them on our own. What better way to fight people who have powers with their kind?” I knew that they were making sense but I didn't want to hear
THIRD PERSON POV Time had gone by quickly and the click was ticking on me. I had little to no time and I had to take advantage of it. The Full Moon would be in two days and I needed to get Belle out of the house so that I could perform my rituals. Belle's presence here would prevent Lilith from emerging and I needed her to be comfortable enough to emerge. Even though it was the night when she would be the weakest, she still needed to be strong enough to emerge. Time was going by so fast and if I didn't start preparing right now, I would miss this opportunity. The thought of asking the Moon goddess for help kept going through my mind and I couldn't just do it. She would rather die than allow that to happen. There was a higher chance of me winning this with her help than doing it alone. Lilith hated her sister and I could see that there was no love between the two so I was going to hope on that and use that to my advantage and make the Moon goddess chase her sister away from Eden
THIRD PERSON POVNathan knew the gravity of what he had done and luckily for him, none of the other kids had been stupid enough to bent to the pressure. Ever since the guards realized that the girl was missing, they were questioning everyone one after the other and Nathan feared that sooner or later, somebody would fold but so far,no one said anything. He just had to do what he did. He needed to send a message to his father to let him know that he was fine and also to his mother, who he knew would be very worried. He knew the situation at home would be very otense with his father looking for him. Even though the situation here was harsh for him to adapt to, he tried his best in doing so and with the help of the friend that he made, Daphne, he navigated being in this place. “Do you think the girl made it home?” Daphne asked. “I hope she did. Right now, she's the only hope we have in other people finding out where we are. “He knew it wouldn't take them for his father to realize w
ELI “Forget it. I'll take care of it.”I tried to walk away from him but he followed me. ”Eli, you don't understand. I know you'll take care of it. What I'm saying is how are you going to bring them here with her here? Are you asking for another war that you won't be able to win?” “Benny, what are you on about this time around? It's just Cole's wife and mother. It's not like I'm bringing Seth into the house to be her personal assistant."He gave me a look. “There's no need to be sassy. All I'm saying is that you should speak to her about it before you do such a thing.”“Have you seen her today?" He looked behind him like she was there. “No, actually. I haven't. Do you know where she is? We can't go speak to her together.”“She’s sick again. Darren has gone to pick out the herbs for her. Do you think I want to tell her something like that in the condition that she is?"He stared at me for a moment and I thought he was going to see reasons with me but I was so wrong. “But-"”Oh f
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
