CHAPTER 44 MIA’S POV “Goodnight Eadith, I’ll see you tomorrow.” “Of course, my regards to your daughter and your mother. Tell her I’ll bring various sweets for her.” The head maid replied to me, a giggle escaping my lips as I packed my bag, swinging them across my shoulder and making my way out of the kitchen. It has been a long and eventful day and every part of my body was in pain, most especially my arms. Being a maid in the Alpha’s pack was such an eventful task but also a high-paying one. With it, I could do anything I wanted to without thinking much about any amount. Although it took more time from my daughter and my mother, it was still a risk that benefited us the most. “Hi there!” A loud gasp escaped my lips at the sound of whoever that was, only for the person with power to stand in front, bright red roses in his hand and a big smile plastered to his face. I wanted to yell out at him and snap and get angry on why he would think this was a nice thing to do but I had n
CHAPTER 45 ARTFOLD’S POV The sound of the birds chirping from outside the room brought me back from the lands of the unconscious to my lids opening and my arm straddling around someone. I fluttered my lids open, settling first on the beautiful damsel that was fast asleep in my arms. A yawn escaped my lips as I closed my eyes briefly, sighing deeply before opening them again. I opened my eyes again, meeting the beautiful woman’s face in front of me again. And that was when everything settled in. Alicia. The beautiful damsel in front of me was Alicia. She was right here. Right in front of me. I jumped out of the bed, not even caring if my hand disrupted her sleep or not. I stood on the ground, my eyes wide open and staring at her. The events of last night started rushing in my head. I was petting her to sleep when sleep finally caught on to me. I had said to myself to just lie down for a bit before going on to call the guards and yet here I was, our arms entangled in each other.
CHAPTER 46 ALICIA’S POV A part of me could sense something wrong the moment I woke up. First off, there was the loud sounds of birds chirping and the sun streaming in from wherever the Goddess knew where coupled with the fact that the bed was very warm more than it should be, giving off something that only had a meaning: I didn't sleep alone and there was someone with me. I opened my eyes after a while, a yawn escaping my lips before swallowing my morning spit. The first sight of the bedsheet confirmed my entire fear, the black color a very far contrast to what I’ll get no matter where I am. I was never a black color person. I sat up immediately, taking a long look at my surroundings before everything rushed to my brain. My eyes widened more than their normal rate as I let out a long internal scream within me. I was in his bedroom. I was in ARTFOLD PANTHER, the alpha’s bedroom. I spent the night in his bedroom. There was no word for this, aside from the fact that I was doome
CHAPTER 47 ALICIA’S POV When I finally opened my eyes again, I was in the doctor’s office and his big face with his large rimmed glass was right in front of my face, a touch shining brightly on my face and a disgust that has never left his face either because of me or something else still seating there. Maybe I would talk to Artfold about him. He clearly doesn't like his job enough to wear disgust on his face this much. “I’m awake.” I breathed out. He moved away from me immediately, turning the touch off and crawling to his little space where he jots stuffs in. “Do you hate me this much?” He looked back at me, his face now dissolved, “I do not hate you, lady. I simply do not like the way you take some of my times by your needless fainting.” I scoffed, managing to sit up. I wanted to reply to him when he stood up and marched towards the door, slamming it shut and leaving me with no one else to throw my response too. I fell back to the bed, closing my eyes quietly. How did I
CHAPTER 48 ARTFOLD’S POV It was late evening already, yet the words I read from the pages of what Alexander left us, the one that hung in my head without movement was what he said of her, what he knows of her and if I ever get to catch that bastard, I would skin him head to toe and every part of his body and make sure he knows what he has messed with. “I know where she lives, I know where she hides, what she eats everyday and things that she does. She is still very much alive and only I, can lead you to where she is.” He has written in his note. He knew that Alicia figured it out. He had said in the note that he saw it from her face. He didn’t mean to keep taking a part of her memories, but he needed it. That bastard had the effrontery to write that he meant well when he was coming back to the pack but on meeting Alicia, he figured she was a part of a great grand scheme that was coming for me, hence why he did what he had to do. I wore the last of my clothing as I stepped outside,
CHAPTER 49 ARTFOLD’S POV “How much did you hear?” I asked, returning to my seat and putting my ass on it. She walked towards the chair, her heels clicking on the floor at every step she took. She took the first chair to my right, crossing her legs and making herself comfortable before snapping her head towards me. Her eyes were calm as the waters, her face radiating with a glow. If not for Alexander, we should be eating dinner together, my mind and head running all over the place on how to ask her the questions I badly wanted to ask her the night before. But if not for her, I would have had Alexander in my palm, he would have not gotten any chance to escape and maybe I would have been in the car by now, riding off to find my beautiful and dearest mate. My Liana. “I remember everything he took from me,” she finally said something. “What?” “I said, I remember every memory he took from me. Everything. I remember them fully now.” She restated. A frown made its way to my face, sh
CHAPTER 50 ALICIA’S POV It has been three days since everything happened and the heat in the pack has not even died down for a bit. Everyone was working more than their working hours, the priestess didn’t have any time to even entertain me because they kept having meetings on meetings, Callum the same thing and Artfold has not shown his face ever since that night. Asides from the note he asked a guard to deliver to me last night. “I really want you, Alicia. In everything I’ve been doing, you take up half of my thoughts, but I need time to be sure about you, about us. And if this is what I want.” I angrily tore the note and threw it to the bin. It was all an excuse, and I didn’t want to think of it to be something more than that. If I did, I was lying to myself. If Liana returned, there would never be a part where he would think if he was now sure about them, he would take her, swing her in his arms without a doubt. I didn’t want to be the second guessed mate. It was a thing that
CHAPTER 51 ALICIA’S POV. I didn’t say anything immediately I figured he was in the room, just turned back and continued my search for where the little switch could be. If it was in my room that this happened, I would know my way around but here, I don’t know one shit and I can’t afford to stay with him in the darkness even for one more minute. My hands fumbled in the dark, my eyes opened to nothing but a pit of nothingness. I carried my feet carefully, not wanting to give myself a bruise in a locked room without any care. And which I was sure that Callum or Mia would never find any help. Mia. I was going to kill her immediately I was out of this place. If Callum had come to me, I would not have answered but I only came here because it turned out to be Mia, because she begged me with something that turned out to be a lie. I was trying to figure out where the light was when I felt something stumble hard on me. A scream left my mouth as I figured out what it was, I was going to f
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
