SUZIE'S POVI raced down the street, my heart in my throat as it best loudly in my chest. My mother and Elliot had opted out to taking a carriage to the hospital, but I could not wait that long. The anxiety and fear eating up at me compelled my legs to move before I could even comprehend the words the guard had brought to us.I ran as swiftly as I could, gasping for air as the wind gushed by me. Once the hospital had come into view, I ran into it. I breezed to the counter, slamming my hands on the desk as my messy hair covered a part of my eye.Sweat dripped down my face to my cheeks as I gazed at the nurse at the counter, who looked like she had just seen a ghost. I could not blame her, I had just shoved myself in her face."Where is the Alpha king? What room is he in? Tell me right now!" I yelled frantically."Y-Your highness is on the third floor-r.""What room!""The 6th room," She said while pointing towards the stairs with shaky hands.I did not mean to scare her so much, but my
SUZIE'S POVI rushed up to the meeting room, eager to see who had come to see me. Was it Edward? I immediately recalled that the guard had specifically said it was two men that had come to see me.As curiosity build up inside me, I hastened my steps, until I was standing right in front of the meeting room door. I took deep breaths, before pushing the door open. The meeting room was before me, and my eyes fell to two men seated side by side, wearing cloaks over their heads.I took a step in, my footsteps echoing through the whole room, making them turn to me. They took of their cloaks, and a gasp left my lips."Asher? Blair?" I breathed.They both smiled at me, and the warmth in their eyes was undeniable. I rushed to them, jumping on both of them and wrapping them in a big hug."Oh my God, I missed you all," I breathed.Asher grabbed the back of my head and planted a kiss on my forehead. He stared at me like I was the most beautiful thing he had seen."We missed you even more," Blair s
SUZIE'S POVMy body been to quiver, an involuntary action I was not anticipating. I grabbed my arms, hugging myself tight as if to shield my body from a cold gust of wind that has blown by. But my body did not stop shaking. I grit my teeth, my eyes wide as I realized just why I was acting like this.It was my body, remembering the fear and anxiety I had felt being in the dark alpha king's presence. My teeth began to jitter and tears streamed down my eyes as I looked to the ground."Hey, hey, it's okay. You're safe now, he's not going to get you," Asher said as he enveloped me in a warm embrace.Slowly, but surely, my body stopped quivering. I could not tell if it was because of the warmth of his body, of the way he stroked my back so softly, but the memories, fear and anxiety I had felt dissipated from my very being.I took deep breaths, before releasing myself from his hold. I shot him a thankful smile and turned to my mother and Elliot, who both had worried looks on their faces."It
SUZIE'S POV"And this, is your new office. I had the maids clear it out for you," Elliot said as he swung the door open.My eyes fell on a vast space, having a large semi circle desk, and a chair right behind it. There was a few book shelves by the side and another small waiting area. I sighed, taking in my surroundings. The work was truly about to begin.How was I going to juggle taking care of the pack and managing the army?"Okay! Get settled in and get started. I need to go attend to some things right now, I'll see you at dinner," Elliot said as he made a beeline to the door.I snapped my head back, running after him and grabbing his hand."Where do you think you're going? I have no clue on what I'm supposed to do! You said you'd put me through the pack activities and businesses."Elliot averted his eyes and scratched his head as he chuckled nervously."Oh yeah, I did say that," He turned to me and gave me a pat on the shoulder, "Don't worry father's beta will stop by to put you t
SUZIE'S POVThe carriage whipped by a few tall trees, and my eyes remained fixed on them. The early morning breeze blew threw the open window, gracing my skin. I let out a sigh, holding my chest to feel for my heartbeat. It was rapid and it kept racing as seconds passed by.My eyes flickered from the window, to Leon, who was seated opposite me. He was poised, his legs crossed and in his hands was a small book that I perceived to be a journal of some sort. His eyes were glued to the small journal and he seemed totally engrossed in it.For some reason, his whole demeanour was rather entrancing to me, and I could not take my eyes away from me. There was a mysterious air around him, and that drew me to him. I had a lot of questions to ask, but the last thing I wanted to do was seem like a prying lady.In a split second, Leon looked up from his book, and his eyes met mine. I jerked back a little from the unexpected movement and averted my eyes back to the wind
SUZIE'S POVThe loud scream rang in the air, making me flinch. I snapped my head to the direction of the tunnel, and sure enough, a man was sprinting away from the tunnel. In his hands was a whole bag filled with diamond that was so full, some of the diamond dropped to the floor as he ran.Other workers ran after him, but he was just too fast for them to catch. It was not hard to grasp the situation playing out before my eyes. As I took a step forward to rush in and stop the man, I felt a firm, grip on my arm. I snapped my head back and saw Leon, shaking his head to me."What are you doing Leon? Let me go this instance or the man will get away!"I insisted, as I tried to free myself from his hold.Leon, ever so nonchalant paid no head to my words. Instead, he stood in front of me, as if to shield me from a danger that was in front of us."You need not to worry about things like this. Do not involve yourself. I will take care of it."My
SUZIE'S POVMy back hit the wall softly as Blair pressed his lips against mine. His hand crawled up my back, all the way to the back of my neck. He grabbed it possessively, as he shoved his tongue right into my mouth."Blair, not here,"I gasped, my hands pressing against his chest.He bit my lower lip, exhaling. "I've missed you so much, I can't wait anymore."He pressed his lips against mine with so much fervor, I could feel myself melting. The sound of the door clicking open made me jolt back. I tried to push Blair away, nut he held on to me. Our eyes both went to the door and my blood went cold as Leon walked in with a heap of paperwork work in his hand."O-Oh, Leon, did you forget something?"I asked, my cheeks flushed.Leon glanced at Blair with an unreadable expression and I felt Blair's grip on me tighten. Leon's gaze met mine, and a shiver ran down my spine the moment I saw the coldness in his gaze. Why did he stare at me
SUZIE'S POVI placed the document in my hand, down on the table, as my tired, droopy eyes focused on the steaming cup of coffee that sat on my desk. I stated at it, resisting the urge to gulp the whole liquid down. I sighed. Who was I kidding? I needed it.I picked up the cup, taking a sip. The dark, bitter liquid graces my tongue, warming up my insides. I rubbed my aching temples, letting out a sigh again. My eyes traveled to the wall clock and I saw that it was just a few minutes after 10am.I blinked, my eyes burning from my lack of sleep. I had stayed up all night, working. After the mistake I had made, we went through the documents and unfortunately, found out that I had made more mistakes in a few more aspects. I needed to rectify each of them.With the help of the quadruplets, and my mother, I pushed through the problems and rectified the mistakes. A few weeks had passed and my understanding of the everything had increased greatly. Even though I di
SUZIE'S POVThe birds chirping outside the window, roused me up from my sleep. I moved around in the bed and noticed that there was no one beside me. My eyes fluttered open, and I pushed myself up on the bed as I rubbed my eyes.I looked around, my eyes scanning the empty bed as questions popped up in my head. I vividly remember falling asleep in my mates arms, but now, they were no where in sight.Where had they gone?I looked around, unsure of where they could've gone and why they were not in the bed when it was just a few minutes past 6am. I pushed myself up from the bed and as my feet touched the ground, the door burst open and my mates trouped in.Asher was grinning at me and beside him was Blair, who held a large tray in his hand. My eyes moved to Roy and Felix, who also has trays in their hand. I was puzzled and I raised my eyebrows at them."What is all of this?" I asked."We wanted to surprise the most beautiful woman in the world with some breakfast in bed. Pretty neat right
CARL'S POVI slipped through the window, my body hitting the floor. I breathed out a sigh of relief as I rose up from the floor, and dusted the dirt away from my shirt. I looked around the room, one more time to confirm if Elliot was here.Thankfully, he wasn't.I quickly peeled off everything item of clothing I had on, and slipped on a robe. I needed to act and look like I had never left the room before he came back. I quickly changed back to my original form, but the make up I had applied on my face was still there.I swiped some wipes off the table and sat in front of the vanity mirror. I had applied on some heavy make up, just in case someone managed to recognise me through the disguise. I wiped my forehead, and slowly went down to my eyebrows.I wiped of the mascara, and just as I was about to wipe off the red lipstick, I began to hear the locks on the door click. I froze, unable to move as I watched the door unlock. The door clicked, and swung open.My eyes went wide as they fel
SUZIE'S POV"Hey, how are you holding up?"I was suddenly jolted out of my mind, and it was only them I realised that I had still been staring at the burning pack house, only that now, it wasn't ablaze anymore. The remains, ashes, black debris was the only thing in sight.I turned back to see Felix, gazing at me with softness in his eyes. I shot him a wry smile, because even I was unable to tell if I was okay or not. Everything had happened so fast, and it was overwhelming. My mind kept replaying each scene, and I knew I would remember these events for a very long time.The carriage shook, and I turned to see Felix settling down beside me. He wrapped his arm around me and I snuggled closer to him, placing my head on his chest. He stroked my hair and the feeling put a sense of calmness over me."You don't have to say anything, I can tell how you're feeling. Everything that happened was really heavy and you are honestly very strong for pushing through."I chuckled. "The only reason I co
SUZIE'S POVThe boy I held in my hands, was not only covered in my blood, but his as well. I only noticed when I saw the large cut wound at his side. Blood was gushing out from the large wound, and the life in his eyes were slowly dimming out.My eyes went wide and I ran my hands across his face. "No, no, no, I can't let you die," I muttered through gritted teeth.I tried to push myself up from the ground, when I felt a sharp pain, just above my abdomen. The pain stopped me from moving, and my eyes travelled down to the spot. A large branch was stuck right in that spot, and blood filled the floor below it.I groaning, feeling the pain rising as I kept moving. I ignored the pain, and pushed myself up, until my back was resting on a large boulder. I held the bit close, his eyes blinking rapidly.His breathing was getting shallow by the minute, and soon, I could not see the rise and fall of his chest. My lips began to quiver, and so did my hands. I clutched him tightly, like he was my la
SUZIE'S POVI turned my head back slowly, and my eyes fell on the young boy. He had his first clenched to his sides and a mean scowl on his face. He had his gaze son Blair, who was still trying to recover. What had just happened? I assumed that Blair will deal with the boy easily, so what was going on?"Fuck, that bastard, how is he that strong? I underestimated him," Blair groaned as he rose to his feet.The boy began to breathe heavily, with his chest rising and falling rapidly. He eyes were growing redder by the minute, and so was his skin. He looked at me, and a chill ran down my spine."How dare you, how dare you, how dare all of you! How dare you interrupt me from serving my purpose in life!"He screamed again, and it resembled the shriek of that hideous monster. I placed my hands on my ears and winced as they began to ring. I watched, mortified as the boy's body began to change slowly.His skin grew as red as blood and two large horns emerged from his forehead. His eyes now hel
SUZIE'S POVI ran, as fast as my quivering legs could carry me. I was too scared to turn back, but I could hear the shrieks and screams of the monster, right behind me. I could hear the sound of it crawling through the boulder, and I knew it was a matter of time before it got its hands on me.My breath was laboured and I was gasping for air at this point. My legs were getting weak, but I had to push on. The images of my mate, and the sounds of their struggles replayed in my mind. My vision blurred with tears as I thought of their condition.I wished I could go back for them, but I could only pray that they weren't badly hurt.The screams of the entity rang through the air once again, the sound bouncing off against the wall, and making the whole cave shudder. Rocks and debris began to fall, hitting my skin, and nicking it.But I ignored the bruises and kept running.It didn't take long, like I had anticipated, before I could hear the sound of the monster heavy steps behind me. It was c
SUZIE'S POVI was in awe, and I didn't know how to act, or react to the tantrum Geraldine was exhibiting right in front of me. She kept shrieking like a mad person, again and, until the walls began to vibrate."What is she doing?" Asher asked.I turned to them, and they eyes were fixed on her, a fearful and confused look on their faces. I snapped my head back and suddenly, Geraldine passed. With her hands in the air and her eyes looking up to the roof, she stood still, unmoving.I watched, in amusement, as she slowly brought her hands back to her side and she looked at me. Her face and her whole demeanour was calmer that it was, a few seconds ago. She sighed and smiled at me while she shook her head."I knew it would come to this," she sighed, "I knew you would refuse my offer, and how i wish you had accepted. Now, I am forced to use my last resort."Last resort? All the hairs at the back of my neck stood up straight. I had a terrible feeling about her words, and I could not shake it
SUZIE'S POVMy eyes went so wide, I feared they would fall of, as I gazed at the people that trooped into the cave. They were children, elderly men and woman, and a few young men, but they all looked malnourished.Some of the were missing a limb, while some looked like they had a permanent brain disorder. Some could barely walk, and they limped, while some of them looked so skinny, their bones were protruding out of their skin.It was so bad, that I thought their bones would pop out, and tear through their skin. They all stood beside Geraldine, and they could not gaze into my eyes. They all looked downwards, and most of them did not have functioning eyes.I did not know whether to feel pity, or shock at the sight that was before me. And I couldn't even look at them, because of how deformed most of them looked. They didn't look human, and they had a creepy aura surrounding them.Geraldine's gaze switched to me, and she had a more firm and calm demeanour."As you can see, these are the
SUZIE'S POV"Please, forgive him, he was just a boy that went astray, do forgive him. He didn't know what he was doing," Geraldine said aa she clasped her hands together.I looked at the way her eyes were pleading with me. Hee whole demeanour looked like she was desperate. She was, but there was nothing I could do to help her. It also angered me that she wanted me to just forgive the dark king's transgressions so easily."You make it seem like the dark king, the things he did holds no weight, but it seems like you do not understand the height of the things he did. He sent our a deadly plague to my people. He killed families, children, women, men, he killed them without batting an eye lid. He tortured me countless of times and molested me when I was just a child!"My whole body began to quiver as I began to remember those bitter memories I had hidden at the back of my mind. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I turned to see Asher, comforting me. I placed my hand on his ansShot him a sma
