Angry? Sad? Heartbroken? Disappointed? Name it. I couldn't explain how I felt when I heard the news that Liana, who was supposed to be dead, had returned home to Artfold. Not only did she return but she was also waiting for Artfold in his chamber.Why now? Why does she have to return now of all time? Why does she have to return when I was about to claim him as mine, when I thought everything was getting better?It seems nothing is better for me. As much as I'd like to hate myself, I couldn't. I hate my life and my existence in this world.I took a deep breath as a thought crossed my mind. What if she has returned? What if he doesn't want her? Somehow, I believed that he wasn't going to accept her because of the love and affection he had shown me in the past few days close to a month now.He probably would reject her and end whatever link that was bonding them together. I couldn't afford losing him to anyone because he was the knight in my shining armor.I decided to leave my room and
ALICIA'S POV“I have something to tell you,” I said and stood before Artfold, who was leaving his chamber to his office.He groaned as though I was irritating to him or he simply didn't want me around him.“What is it?” He asked with a cold look on his head and I clenched my fist with an angry look on my face.I couldn't believe that he could be so indifferent toward me despite what had happened between us.“You haven't been paying attention to me and my child for the past two months,” I said and rubbed my hands on my stomach.He glared at me and scoffed. “I bet I have more work to do than discussing with you. What else do you have to say?” He asked.I moved closer to him and whispered to his ears with an angry look on my face. “What do you mean by that? I'm carrying your child yet you're treating me like this.”“What have I done to deserve this? Is it because of your mate, that piece of trash?” I cursed and he snapped at her.“I won't have you talk to my mate in such a manner again.
ALICIA'S POV “Where am I? Why is this place dark and void?” I asked myself and looked around with a nervous look on my face. My body shook in fear as I felt the darkness closing up on me. I turned around her but I couldn't find anything or anyone around here. “Who lives here?” I yelled and spinned around. I tried to remember whether I went out with anyone and I ended up being dumped but I couldn't remember anything of such. It was as though my mind had been controlled. I couldn't think for myself. If I could remember clearly, I was in my room sleeping so I couldn't tell how I managed to appear in such an unknown world. “Of course, someone does and that's why you're here,” my heart skipped in fear as I got the response that I was seeking for even though I didn't believe k would get it. I swallowed the lump in my throat and rubbed my hand against each other while looking around cautiously, trying to find the perso
CHAPTER 119“Mother,” I yelled and jerked up from the bed, sweating profusely. I wiped off the head of sweat that formed on my forehead.I breathed heavily as I remembered everything that happened, how my mother appeared before me in a place full of darkness and void, how she comforted me and told me I was going to be fine, and how she told me Artfold was my mate and Liana was my enemy.I couldn't believe that such a thing could happen. I knew she wouldn't lie to me. Although it was a dream, it felt surreal. It was as though I was in the world.She was speaking to me with sincerity. She loved and cherished me despite what had transpired between us. She was indeed a good mother.I knew none of this would happen if she were to be alive. She would have prevented it. It's probably the reason why she appeared in my dream to inform me about everything.I was yet to believe what I heard from her. How could it be true that Artfold who used to be cruel toward me was my mate and not Walter?But
ARTOFLD'S POV“What is it?” I asked with a confused look on my face as Liana, who has been enjoying in my mouth between her thighs, stood up and closed her legs.“Nothing serious but there's something I need to tell you,” she said and I shrugged.“What could you tell me that is better than what we're doing right now,” I said and inserted my finger into her clit then fondled her breasts firmly.She moaned out in pleasure and pushed my hands away. “Stop being naughty. I'm all yours so you should listen,” she said and I groaned out with a frustrated look on my face.“What is it?” I demanded and crossed my arm beneath my naked chest.“It's about that lady who came earlier today. Her name is Alicia, right?” She asked and I nodded my head in response.What does she have to say about Alicia that made her stop what we were doing? I asked myself but I couldn't yet answer it.“What is it about her?” I asked in a cold tone and she swallowed the lump in her throat.“I don't know how you're going
ALICIA'S POV“Why are you stopping me?” I asked with an angry look on my face, struggling to get myself from his grasp. He glared at me with a cold look and I swallowed the lump in my throat.I couldn't believe he could do such a thing because of Liana despite the time and love we've shared together. He didn't care about the past.“That's because you need to be stopped. Not only that, you need to be locked up,” he said and I looked up instantly with a shock expression on my face.“What do you mean?” I asked with a confused look on my face and scoffed.“Guards,” he yelled and three guards rushed inside as soon as they heard his voice.“What is it, Alpha?” One of the guards asked and bowed his head in respect.“I want you to lock her up and make sure she doesn't eat anything until she reflects on her misdeed. Only water could be delivered to her so she wouldn't be dehydrated,” he said and I looked up instantly.“Are you really going to lock me up because of her? I mean this bitch who wi
ARTOFLD'S POV“It's a good thing that she's gone, isn't it?” I heard Liana's voice and turned to her with a cold look on my face.“Why aren't you saying anything? I thought I was asking you a question,” she demanded and I scoffed.“Because I don't see any reason why I should answer you,” I responded and she sighed.“Is something wrong with you?” She asked and moved closer to me, attempting to touch my face.“I'm fine,” I snapped at her and pushed her hand away from my face.“Now, I'm certain that you're not fine. What's wrong with you? Ever since you've thrown her into the dungeon, you've been behaving strangely. Why are you doing this?” She asked with a worried look on her face and I shrugged.“What do you want me to do? Do you expect me to be happy and relieved that I locked someone I used to love up?” I replied absentmindedly and she stared at me with a sad look on her face.“Is that what you see her as? Your love, right?” She asked and I looked away, unable to look at her eyes be
ARTOFLD'S POVI walked out of the dungeon and released the breath that I didn't know that I was holding. A soft smile formed on my face knowing that she would be taken to somewhere better.I didn't know why I was doing all of this for her even though I claimed that I hated her. My heart beats for her yet I don't want to be close to her. My body and wolf crave for her yet I kept pushing her away.For whatever reason, I felt each time that I stayed away from her, I felt closer to her.Even with the presence of my mate, Liana, I kept missing and craving for her even though I kept denying the feeling. I wish I could fight it but I couldn't.“Hello, Alpha,” Callum called and I snapped out of my train of thought.“What is it?” I asked and he stared at me reluctantly.“Are you okay?” He asked and I arched my eyebrows. “What sort of question is that?” I asked in a cold tone and he swallowed the lump in his throat.“Why don't you answer my question and stop beating around the bush before I c
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
