DONOVAN'S POVAnother meeting has been called and my presence is needed. Even though I want to pull this off and not be in the presence of neither my parents nor the elders, I know I have no better option than to go if I want to keep myself updated about Alexis' case. A gentle knock comes upon my door and I hesitate and let out a small exhale before striding to the door and pulling it open. A servant is standing before me holding some clothing in her grips. Her eyes flutter as she takes in my shirtless frame and she immediately looks downcast again. On other days, I would smirk at the way my looks drive people insane but this time, I am nonchalant. Nothing excites me anymore and I cannot think of anything else except the thoughts of Alex and her safety."The Luna asked me to bring this to you." She bows and outstretches her hand to me. "She asked that your presence be made in the council within ten minutes."I sigh again before retrieving the clothes from her hand and sending her off
ALEXIS' POVMy eyes flutter and make an effort to keep open and I moan as the pain in my body awakens again. A sudden stinge in my leg causes me to hiss in pain again and I look downcast to see Randall kneeling before me, tending to my wounds. A flashback of the evil he has done rushes through my head and anger takes over me again. I try to withdraw my leg and kick him right across his pretty face but my legs are still tied and I cannot move my legs."Stay still." He cast a quick glance at me and continues to apply solution to my leg. But I still try to pull my legs away so that his filthy hands would not touch me. "Get away from me!" I yell at him and he looks directly into my eyes this time. This time, he looks a bit like the Randall I knew from Redwood. Not the one I met in Coral pack. "Alex…" He tries to touch me but I keep flinching away."Stay away from me, you monster!" I yell at him again. "You have to listen to me…""Why should I listen to you?" Tears of betrayal roll down
ALEXIS' POVI have lost track of how many days I have been kept in this room. Fortunately, I am not tied up anymore but there is a long thread of chain that is not tied to my ankle to stop me from walking far away from the room. I don't know what they are worried about when the door is always locked and the window is as high as a tower's. Randall had left some clothes for me to change into and only comes once in a while to bring me food and water. Sometimes, Rachel comes and makes mockery of me. Other times, the servants bring my food without uttering a single word to me. I haven't seen Randall's father since the first day. During the day, I think about Donovan and grandma Rivera and I worry about how they are doing. At night, I have dreams of Donovan and sometimes, of grandma Rivera. Most of these dreams were always nightmares of the coronation ceremony and Vera disclosing my identity to everyone. Sometimes, I had nightmares of being caught when I tried to escape the guards and Ver
ALEXIS' POVAfter Elena unchains my ankle, I follow her to the dining room and the sight of Alpha Crane, Randall and Rachel greets me. They are seated around the dining table, the table top assorted with every kind of food. I hope that they choke on their food and die. As Randall's eyes and mine meet, I glare at him with pure hate and he looks away again. Wait till Donovan lays his hands on them. They will be dead meat."Come on, Luna. Join us." Alpha Crane fakes a welcoming tone that drops sarcastic hints. Warning myself to keep my emotions in check and cooperate with them if I want to stay alive by the time Donovan comes to get me, I exhale deeply and walk over to them. Randall gets up and pulls a seat for me. I eye him terribly again, disgusted by his act before taking my seat at the table nevertheless."Tell me…" The Alpha says to me as the servants prepare my food on the dishes before me. "Are you enjoying your stay here?"I keep mute and bite my tongue back from answering him.
ALEXIS' POV"She is with child. It's two weeks gone." I hear a man's faint voice as I slowly awaken back to reality. I peel my eyes slowly open to see a physician speaking to Randall who looks nervous and worried. I don't want to be so quick to jump into the conclusion that he is worried about me. If he was truly worried about me, he could have done something to save Elena back there. Anything at all to save her from his devil father.Once again, the image of Elena being executed right before my eyes causes a stir of emotions inside my heart. I feel so much guilt for being the cause of my death and tears cloud my vision. "What do you mean she is with child? How can she be pregnant?" Randall asks the man and I shut my eyes and force myself from crying. I cannot be pregnant. This is not the right time to be pregnant."She is carrying a two weeks pregnancy, my Lord. The stress could hurt the child." The physician repeats himself to Randall and Randall turns his head to look at me at th
DONOVAN'S POVI race with the soldiers into the woods and as they shift into their human forms, ready to attack me, I shift back to my human form too and deal them with heavy blows before they could sneak up on me. By the time the training is over, they are all sprawled across the ground, groaning in pain. I shut my eyes and try to catch my breath before lending the boys my hands and helping get up their feet again. "Come on, Donovan." Lewis is one of the guys who I have beaten to the ground and he whines and rubs the spot where his body aches. "What's going on in your mind? You've been pretty harsh on us these days."I ignore him and walk out of the woods and back to the castle again. Lewis wasn't wrong. I have had so much in my mind and wouldn't lie that I had been taking it out on others these past days. It has been three whole weeks and yet, there has been no sighting of Alexis or any white wolf straying off. I have personally searched for her everywhere, including all her frien
DONOVAN'S POVLucky for me, there is an elder council meeting holding today and I intend to use this opportunity to convey the message that the spy had delivered to me. As I dress up for the meeting in my room, a knock comes on my door and before I could invite the person in, the door is gently pushed open and Lori steps in, catwalking majestically as though she already owns the place. It is funny how she is more confident around here now that Alexis is out of sight.I bet she would die from shock once I bring Alexis back to the castle. "I didn't ask you to come in." I look past her and focus on buttoning my regalia. "Why? Does my presence falter you?" I feel her arms wrap around me and I disentangle her hands from my body and distance myself from her a little. "You have to leave. My presence is needed at the assembly gathering."But as always, Lori is hard headed and stubborn. She closes the distance between us again and I set my jaw when her hands land on my crotch. She locks a d
ALEXIS' POVFor days, no one has come to see me in this room where I am held prisoner. It doesn't bother me. At least, I would be spared from bullying until whenever they decide to resume their maltreatment. I haven't seen Randall either but I know he is the one who sends the servants to bring me fruits and healthy supplements for my pregnancy. Sometimes, I worry that his father could see through all his lies one day and find out that he is against his own pack and working to take me back to Redwood. I don't want to be the reason for someone else's death. Especially not a close friend like Randall. During the day and at night, my thoughts still rest on Donovan and grandma Rivera. They probably think I am dead by now. For the millionth time, I worry about Grandma Rivera and pray fervently in my heart that the gods protect keep her safe and alive till whenever I am able to return back to her.I raise my gaze and someone unlocks the door and pushes it open. Rachel catwalks into the roo
