ARTFOLD’S POV “Nagaski has fallen sick, Alpha,” the maid said and I looked up instantly after receiving the news. “Nagasaki?” I threw the paper back to Alicia subconsciously. Nagasaki was my favorite black crow that delivers messages to me whenever I'm miles away from the pack and I was needed in the pack urgently. I approached the maid, who bowed her head in respect. “What happened to it?” I asked in a cold tone and she bowed her head respectfully. “I don't know. It suddenly fell on the floor,” she said and I shrugged. “Am I the one you're supposed to be reporting to? Aren't there any guards around?” “If anything happens to Nagasaki, I won't spare you,” I said in a cold tone and she shuddered. I felt there was more to the reason why she came rushing toward me. She could have easily talked to the guards about the issue. I felt she came to distract me. “I'm sorry, Alpha. I'll take my leave,” the maid said and left quickly before I could interrogate her. “Alicia,” I l
ARTOFLD'S POV “What are you talking about?” I asked in a cold tone and he swallowed hard. “Aren't you going to say anything?” I asked and he shook his head quickly. “No, that's not the issue. She's fine,” he said and I shook my head negatively. “I know that she's fine but I want to know what's wrong with her. Or has she paid you not to tell me because she knew I would ask?” I demanded and he shook his head vehemently. “No, that's not the case. She complained to me that she had been vomiting and after I ran a test on her, I found out that she was pre… I mean it was food poisoning,” he said and I arched my eyebrows. As much as I wanted to believe what he was saying, I felt he was lying to me but I had nothing to prove that he was lying. I could only believe him or force him to spill whatever it is inside his mind. “Are you sure with what you're saying?” I asked, staring at him intensely in such a way that he would reveal the truth even if he doesn't want to. “Yes, I'm sur
ALICIA’S POV “Where do you think that you're going to?” He asked and I swallowed hard. I froze on a spot and my body shuddered as I heard his indifferent voice. His tone was better than yesterday. Yesterday was worse compared to now. I couldn't measure how scared and terrified I was when he approached me with his sharp vampire fangs and dark red glowing eyes. The scene was a terrifying one that I wouldn't dare forget even if I wanted to. The thought of the scene sent a cold chill down to my spine. “What are you doing here?” He asked and I swallowed hard. Not again. It seemed he had forgotten what happened last night or he was pretending not to remember. Even if he doesn't like his vampire sides, I believe he should be able to remember what transpired between us, shouldn't he? “Enh I… didn't…” I shuttered, unable to come up with the right words. I was shaken by the fear. “What's the issue? Won't you talk?” He asked with an angry look on his face. I mustered courage an
ALICIA’S POV. I entered his office and we both exchanged pleasantries. “Good day, ma'am.” “How may I help you?” He asked and I scoffed. “Help me? You asked me to come, that's why I'm here,” I said and he sighed. “That’s right. I'm sorry for disturbing you,” he apologized. “Well, I'm calling you for something very important for you and your unborn child,” he said in a low tone. “Okay, what is it?” I asked. “Well, it's concerning prenatal care. It's a care that is given to she-wolves during pregnancy,” he said. “So you mean I'll be coming to the hospital regularly?” I asked even though it wasn't my first time but this situation was different. He nodded his head affirmatively. “I’m sorry. I don't think I'll be able to do that,” I said and he stared at me with a confused look. “Why?” “He's going to find out that I'm pregnant if I come to the hospital daily. Can't I be receiving the treatment?” “You can but there's no way he won't find out. The stomach bump and everyth
Callum's POV “Please check up on the Alpha and try to restrain him if he goes berserk. You know what I mean,” I rubbed my hand on my eyes and stood up from the bed after remembering what the doctor said. After Mia left, I haven't had the chance to talk to her. She has been avoiding me in every way. Even if I called for her attention, she wouldn't come. I knew I hurt her feelings and there was nothing I could do to revert my statement but I hope she was going to forgive me because I couldn't imagine my life without a mate. And to think of it, I have been looking for my mate for years and now, I have found her but I let her slip from me because of my temper. I wondered why I uttered such a statement. I was just jealous and stupid to think that she was going to ditch me for the Alpha that everyone is scared of except Alicia, who had fallen in love with him like him. For the first time, I decided not to think about her because the safety of the pack member matters. No one would be
ALICIA’S POV I crashed hard on the bed and cuddled the pillow to myself. I held onto tightly as though my life depended on it. Maybe it does. I didn't want to make another mistake. “What do you want?” I asked in a cold tone as a knock landed at the door. It was Esther. She walked into the room with a smile beaming on her face. The smile disappeared from her face and was replaced with worry the moment she saw the condition I was in. “What's wrong with you, my lady?” She asked worriedly and I scoffed inwardly. “It’s because of you,” I said and she stared at me confusedly. “What’s the problem, my lady? I don't understand what you're talking about,” she said. “I wouldn't have found out that he doesn't like children if you didn't ask me to go to him,” I said and balled my hand into a fist. “I’m sorry, my lady. But that was the best thing to do. What happened if I may ask?” She demanded in a calm tone and I explained to her in detail despite being in a bad mood. “Ahh, my lady,” she
ALICIA'S POVI smiled sadly as I stood up from the king-sized bed. I took a deep breath and walked toward the table. I grabbed a red apple from one of the numerous fruits on the table. I moaned softly as I munched on it, enjoying its savoring taste. It was so sweet and irresistible.“It tastes so sweet,” I mumbled and licked my lips. I reached out to the blue berries on the table and began to munch on it.According to the doctor, he claims that the crave for food would be irresistible. He also said that fruit was good and healthy for my unborn child's condition.I don't like eating fruit but after I became pregnant, my taste buds and emotions heightened. And I was also restricted from eating my best food.For the past few days after hearing that statement from Artofld's mouth, I have refused to do anything with him.I had made up my mind to forget that I had feelings for him and continue to live my life like I should. I would have left his pack but I didn't want to leave earlier becau
ALICIA'S POV“So what does that mean?”“You can't be banished from a pack without any reason. No Alpha would do such a thing,” he said and I scoffed.“But he did, so what do you expect me to do? What are you driving at? And why are you bringing up this topic all day today?” I asked in an annoyed tone and he scoffed.“Don't try to avoid my questions and answer them honestly. Unless you answer it, I'll make sure you regret coming to my pack,” he said in a cold tone and I swallowed the lump in my throat.“Who were you sent by Walter to spy on me?” He asked and I took a deep breath, unaware of what to say.“How could you say such a thing?” I asked with an angry look on my face and he looked away.“That's the truth. I don't care,” he said in a cold tone.“I’m not a spy,” I argued and he scoffed. I knew it was pointless arguing with him. He wouldn't believe me. I wonder how he managed to know that I was banished from my pack.My life is a mess. I was banished from my former pack and this pa
AliciaMonths passed by in a blink of an eye, and I wouldn't believe it if I was told that such a day would happen. I have always been blaming myself for a lot of things, I have always blamed myself for the death of my son knowing that all of that wouldn't have happened if I wasn't useless. It was not until now that I realized that most of the blame I put on my head wasn't entirely my fault, what could I have done in the situation where I was being used by Walter. I would have been able to maneuver things if I had the same intelligence that I have now but there are no such things. Being able to reconcile with my son is the biggest gift I can ever get and it only makes me happy. I felt my heart flutter uncontrollably as I thought of all that had happened. I felt lucky to have met my mate Artfold and even if the journey was unlucky I felt grateful, I wouldn't have grown this far without all those ups and downs. Now all that I know awaits me is nothing but joy, yes joy. Artfold and
ArtfoldI was happy knowing that Alicia is pregnant, she was having my child but I became sad again knowing that it will be hard for her to be able to escape from Walter and Liana.Although I wanted nothing other than to save Alicia and Jason, I still didn't feel connected and concerned about him like I do to the unborn child in Alicia's tummy.I wanted to save Alicia and only by doing Walter's biddings will I be able to get that done. It was now that I regretted all my past decisions, I had always been trying to be kind. I have always wanted to keep both Walter and Liana hoping that they would be able to change but it seems that I was wrong about that. I knew that all of this would have been avoided if it weren't for the fact that I was trying to be kind to them. I wanted to give them a second chance but they didn't plan on giving me a second chance which made me angry. If I was to be given a second chance I will make sure I end the life of the both of them without trying to give th
Liana My heart was filled with turmoil seeing that the person in front was none other than the son of Alicia. I knew that Walter must have kept something that can be used against her but I didn't expect things to be like this. It wasn't until months later that we both decided to put things into action, we have been looking forward to these days but we have been cautious wanting to be sure that there is no mistake and today is the day, there is no way I would be losing to Alicia today. She is not a fish under my chopping board. I knew that she must have been captured by the man who was sent to bring her easily because she knew that he had something to do with us. I could only say that she is unlucky to fall into my hands because there is no way I am letting her go scott free. When she was brought back I noticed that she was pregnant, and I couldn't help but feel jealous. I wanted nothing at that moment other than to make her lose her child. Although I knew that she was pregnant, I
ArtfoldWalter's threat had put a huge deal on me, it wasn't because of his threat but because his threats were mainly directed to Alicia and I had already promised to always be by her side and help her accomplish things but it felt like I won't be able to complete it with the way things were. I felt uncomfortable but there was nothing I could do about it. I could only let out the news that whoever can find Walter and Liana will be greatly rewarded. I added Liana to the wanted kiss because I knew all that is happening isn't happening behind her, I knew that she must have a hand in it. I could barely go home to comfort Alicia because I don't know what to say or do. I felt like I would only make her become sad if I kept on trying to comfort her. I feel useless and I could only hope that the packs out there who had sent out their warriors in search of them would be able to find them as soon as possible. I was shocked to hear from Callum that Alicia had been kidnapped. It was like h
Alicia I felt that there was no need for me to keep Liana locked up and that was mostly because of the feelings I had for her. I couldn't bring myself to hurt the only family member that I have. I knew that she wouldn't care about our family affairs if she wanted to hurt me. What was I saying? She doesn't care about our family affairs, she didn't even try to save me when I was being tortured by George, and although I was hurt by her but I still didn't hurt her. I don't plan on getting revenge because I know that there will be no other chance for her to hurt me. After returning home that day I started to feel uneasy, it was like something bad would soon happen but I shrugged it off by mind. I knew that it would be useless for me to be worried about something that I am not even aware of. It wasn't until three days later that I realized the reason why I was being nervous. It turned out that everything was all because of Liana and Walter. They escaped, the moment I heard that I fel
LianaI was shocked by what had happened, I had thought of taunting Alicia with the fact that I had sex with Artfold but it turned out to bite me back. Alicia fainted immediately and when I was still in shock, I was held down by the maids around me.It was the first time they will show their true colors and strength, they didn't act like they were maids, and they acted like warriors. It was a pity that the maid's that were given to me by Artfold after he had released me didn't act out of the ordinary, they only went forward to help Alicia up. If it were normal I would have thought that it was nothing other than the fact that they had betrayed me because they were worried about Alicia but I knew that they weren't worried about her just because they felt like that but they were worried about her because it was their duty. I had some doubts about them before and I even planned on trying to find out if my doubts about turn was right and it wasn't until Alicia's maids showed their fang
Liana After being tortured, I was taken to the other cell in the dungeon and I was locked up by Callum. I had expected that Artfold would visit me in the cell to condemn me for what I had done but he didn't. I was confused not knowing what he meant by that but no matter what the case is, I didn't care about it anymore. All my mind was on what was happening and what he was up to. I stayed in the cell for a whole day and surprisingly Callum didn't come to torture me after that day. I had thought that I will be subjected to a lot of torture but it seems that I was wrong about it. It wasn't until the second day that I was finally visited by Artfold, and just when I was about to ask what all this was about I spotted Alicia from the corner of my eyes, she stared at me for a while before shaking her head slightly. “Do you have your memory back?” I asked even though I knew that she must have recovered her lost memories, I knew that there is no way that she wouldn't have recovered her
Alicia I vaguely heard a voice telling me these things will be alright but I still couldn't place my hands on things but I still believed it. I know that I will be able to make things work out for me now that everything is getting back together. Although I still couldn't remember anything except for the fact that I had killed the man named George. I had thought that I would be filled with grief and indignation for the rest of the days but it turned out that I was wrong. I realized that I didn't feel the way I had felt when I had just killed the man named George. It wasn't until I heard from Artfold that he deserved that, and that he isn't a saint, and that I was eliminating the danger for the people that I realized that I must have made the right choice. I felt that things were starting to make sense but it was then that I faced the most horrible thing I hate the most. I was starting to feel myself getting estranged from him and I didn't say a word to him knowing that I could sti
ArtfoldI thought that everything would be settled once Liana and Walter, who were Alicia's past, were released but I didn't expect that things wouldn't go the way I wanted. I had calculated a lot of things but I failed to calculate the fact that I am part of Alicia's present. The witch had told me that everyone who had any type of relationship with Alicia needs to be around her to be able to recover her memory. After releasing Walter and Liana, I realized that whenever I tried to meet Alicia she always told the maids to find excuses for her. She makes excuses just because she didn't want to see me, and I was confused about that because she hasn't regained her memory yet and even if she does there is no need for her to blatantly ignore me like this.I could still vividly remember the time when I crossed paths with Alicia in the pack. She took a detour just because she didn't want to meet me. I have always been trying so hard to make sure I find out why Alicia is like this but to no
