Throughout the entire night, the Alpha King was restless. No – to say he was restless would be an understatement.He didn't sleep a wink due to the incessant flow of anxiety through every cell of his being.Currently, dawn was yet to descend over the Pack, but Shawn could be seen, fully dressed with his car keys in his right hand, and his phone in the other.“Was it some kind of fucking a prank or what?” he muttered as his index finger once more tapped the number which sent him that text. And just like the previous responses, the owner refused to pick up the darn call.“Shit!” Shawn drove his fingers into his hair then ruffled his locks endlessly – he seriously couldn't calm down for much longer.Now, he blamed himself for not rushing to the texted address the moment he received it. In his state of self-doubt and contemplation, a knock kissed the door.Without uttering a word, Shawn went ahead to pull the doorknob backwards, and as expected, the fatigued face of his beta came in place
“This has got to be some kind of crappy bullshit! Right?” The raucousness of the Alpha's yell didn't generate any sort of reaction from his top spy.Instead, his eyes, which were now visible due to the absence of his dark mask, faced him expressionlessly.The raging Alpha Sebastian gritted his fangs infuriatingly then banged his fist on the desk.Normally, the wood ought to at least fall apart since the physical strength of an Alpha was beyond ordinary, then again, the ruler of the Scarlet Heart Pack was something else. The wooden desk didn't crack as much.Quite laughable to be sincere.His chest rose and fell unsteadily as he began pacing around with sheer anxiety, nervousness, and a bit of fear dangling around his body.“This quickly? I… haven't come up with the perfect situation to manipulate him yet! How....how come Shawn's gaining up on us so fast?” Sebastian blurted worriedly with his fingers ruffling his hair like an insane individual.There was nothing that could calm him dow
With every step he took closer to Delta's room, the sounds of something or someone banging at the door became clearer.It made the sky Logan somewhat confused, what was going on in there?Needlessly, he had an instruction to carry on. As much as he was evidently the Alpha's favorite spy, plainly because of his skills, it didn't mean he wouldn't get punished.And specifically, since the Alpha's in a bad mood, then it was simply advisable to avoid provoking him unless one wanted an early death.Standing at the doorstep, Logan exhaled softly then placed a gentle yet somewhat loud knock on the door. It was awkward, since the tempo of the knocks emanating from within practically swallowed him.Yet, Logan was relentless and kept showering the door with light knocks. Since he was incessant, Derek, who was in there, standing at the doorstep of the shut bathroom, got his attention diverted to there.“Who the fuck is that now?” He muttered with a scorn on his face – yes, Alpha Sebastian wasn't
The amount of happiness circulating through her during the earlier hours of the day had completely vanished. And In its stead, anxiety, and worry stepped in.Currently, her drenched fingers continuously tried to dial the number of the Alpha of the Scarlet Heart Pack, Sebastian. She needed to speak with him, but after he ended their unwholesome call, his number was no longer available.It was freaking Rita out like hell – what the hell happened that made him speak so impolitely to her? Immersed in the comfort of a bubble filled bathtub, Rita threw her head backwards while trying to steady the racing of her heart.She was feeling a lot of discomfort – for some reason, her heart kept pounding and whenever that transpired, she knew something terrible was about to happen.She bit her lower lips while contemplating deeply – she had tried so hard to keep the murder of Mirabel so clean and simple.Furthermore, she didn't go overboard, right – shooting him countlessly in the head wasn't over t
A hug that could last a lifetime – she wished for such. One that embodied pure comfort, sheer warmth, and perhaps love.Raven couldn't remember the last time she experienced something like that. Sure, her parents, before they died during the war some years back, were the best things she knew existed. To her, they and her mother were her world.Funny enough, Raven could recall telling her brother, Chris how he and their parents meant the world to her only to get a response with;‘Meaning you have three worlds, sis?’It was ridiculous, but it happened when they were young – when she was happy. Those times, her smiles were sheerly genuine.But after that war broke out, she lost two of her worlds and left with one she tried, but failed to protect. The more Raven's mind leaped into her pool of memories, tears welled in her eyes and fell unceasingly down her cheeks.That day, she didn't mean to cry – no; Raven was feeling somewhat gleeful.Chris had informed her about his mission – it ended
With the rate at which she shivered endlessly, one would compare her to a wet cat drenched heavily by the rain – Yvette was unsettled.It was written on her face, yet none tried to question her – the Scarlet Heart Pack's populace were one to mind their business. That was the sole thing they could do, aside from wallowing in a pool of seemingly unceasing suffering.At the sink where a maid stood beside her, both were tasked to do the dishes and since night was fast approaching, all were trying to match up the pace.Yet, Yvette's hands, which were trembling incessantly, let go of a glass plate, and it crashed loudly to the floor, shattering to pieces.“Yvette!” the Head Maid yelled angrily at her – what was she trying to do? Who in their right mind was unaware of the consequences of setting dinner late?None were slacking or making silly mistakes aside from her, and frankly, the Head Maid, with the others, was pissed.“What in Heaven's name is wrong with you?” the aged she-wolf frowned
It couldn't be considered walking anymore, since both were running to Derek's room.It wasn't like they were concerned about his welfare – Sebastian had always wished him death from the very onset.Derek would forever be a thorn in his flesh unless he ceases to exist, and Rita's focus was Michelle.She needed that human slut to be either killed or kept caged for the rest of her existence. Surely, she would have wasted her life without batting any eyelashes, then again, both Alpha and Delta claimed there was no use in her being alive.Yet, and most certainly vex fully, none had utilized Michelle being kept in that room even in the slightest. Mere thinking about it, Rita realized how much she was surrounded by brainless fools.Sebastian, despite his boast of being overly knowledgeable, couldn't manipulate the Alpha King, Shawn, into being dethroned. It was seriously infuriating that he failed to make any good of Michelle.And for Derek, Rita wished he would have by now gotten rid of tha
Despite the absurdity of her utterance, Sebastian conceded. Rita was always a devil's advocate, so yes, it was understandable how witty she was when it came to the eradication of other lives.An unfeeling devil – that was what she was. Nothing more or else. It was somewhat funny how the sweetest beta in the whole Nation birthed a witch like Margarita.While Sebastian thought deeply about how to corner Michelle and then recapture her, Derek's eyes stared unshakably at the window – what was going to happen to Michelle?Though his life was in danger because of her, it didn't decrease his love for her in the slightest – what kind of lover would he be if he hated her due to something so minor?By any chance, if Rita and Sebastian thrived in capturing Michelle again, then her lifespan would be shortened drastically. For one, this devil in the form of a she-wolf would rather die than let Michelle live.Not after she possibly yet narrowly escaped being caught by the Alpha King – in one way or

Chapter 106Third person POVLuciano and Rita, on getting an invitation to attend Shawn and Michelle’s marriage, booked a flight to travel back to Shawn’s country because the wedding was in two days.The marriage was still set to hold despite the recent incident that happened in the palace to Michelle and her unborn baby, and there was still no official statement from the palace by Shawn on what happened that day and if the bride which was Michelle was still alive or not or even their unborn child.These were questions that needed serious answers and this got the people worried most especially Rita.She wondered that if the wedding was still holding with the date of the wedding not even changed or postponed, it could mean that Michelle survived but her baby didn’t survive or it could mean that both her and her unborn child survived it but that’s impossible because the poison she gave her was a very strong one.All Rita could do is wait in anticipation until the day of the wedding to
Chapter 105Rita’s POVI’m really happy now that my plans have finally started taking giant step now that Rita’s baby is fighting for his stupid life.I don’t think I’ve been this happy in a long time, I need someone to share this news with, ok I think I should I call Luciano and tell him about this beautiful event that just came across my ear. But I can’t tell him that it was me that got the poison so that he won’t think I’m a bad person and start to resent me. Ok, now that’s everything is settled, let me give him a call“Hi, Luciano”“Hey there Rita, how are you and how you’ve been doing?”“I’m very well thank you, and you, how you doing?”“I’m also good as long as you’re okay”“Ha Ha Ha…” I chuckled “ Hey listen, I have some news for you and I don’t know if I should be happy or sad”“What’s wrong, what’s the matter?, did anyone hurt you?”“No no no, it’s nothing like that, nobody hurt me and I’m fine”“So what’s wrong Rita?”“Ok, I was siting down on my couch waiting for my driver
THIRD POVAt sunset, everyone in the royal family gathered around the dining table for dinner that evening.Shawn and Michelle came a bit late join them, because Shawn was being overprotective of Michelle,not letting her walk too fast saying it might affect the baby,Michelle had enough of his nagging so she just ignored him,because she was too hungry to care about what he saidWhen they were finally seated, Andrew instructed the maids to serve the food.While eating Shawn put almost all the food on the table in Michelle's plate,He was mostly feeding Michelle than eating,he would peel the shrimp and bring out the flesh for her,give her water,feed her soupBy the time they were done eating Michelle was too full to walk,When Shawn saw that she was full,he started eating the food remained by Michelle,“Bring a glass of apple juice for michelle” he shouted“also everyone leave the palace I want to have a quiet time”Then Shawn turned to Andrew and raven“You two love birds can also l
Third POVThe wedding plans seem to be moving really fast. Rita's plan to kill Shawn's baby hasn't come to fruition yet. She had everything carefully planned out. She wanted a strong baby to be out of this world before the wedding so that the news would break them and they wouldn't think of getting married but rather they would want their child.Shawn's suspicion was growing everyday as he observed Renata. The fact that she had no record or anything in her past was disturbing him. They knew a little or more about each of their staff.Shawn started his own private investigation on her. He never gave anything to chance. Time passed and she was avoiding Shawn mostly out of fear, she made it so obvious that made his suspicions worse. She had to seek help from Rita.“Madam, there's a problem”“You got caught?” Rita shouted“No i–”Rita interrupts her “wait I hope you're not calling me from the palace”“I said there's a problem and you're asking me all this questions why don't you wait and
Chapter 102Rita’s POVI can’t believe a golden opportunity has been given to me. All I need to do is find a fitting poison so that I can waybill it to the spy I hired in the Palace so that she can just give it to Michelle and just like that, her baby would die and that would be a giant step in my revenge plans.I am well aware that I can’t call anyone or tell anyone about this so I asked Natasha stylishly and Natasha said that it’s very hard to see poison because of the product’s ban in the country.Natasha further went to explain to me that if I’m really interested, I should meet some friends in low places and since I didn’t have anyone like that, she gave me someone’s number who apparently handles the dealings of the poison but he does in secret.Well, if money is to be the only problem, then it is not a problem for me at all. I quickly collected the guy’s number and she also gave me a code word to say once I called the line.To be completely honest, I was a little bit curious on
Shawn's POVIt's the week before the wedding. I woke up and almost immediately ran to take a look at my beautiful soon-to-be bride. “Always so gorgeous” I mutter, as I take a deep look at her.We're preparing already, for the visit to the antenatal clinic. We're going to have to make sure both my babies are in good condition after all. Walking about the palace, I try to ensure that everything is in good condition, all preparations for the wedding are going on smoothly.The drive to the antenatal clinic is a short one, probably as I do not take my mind off the wedding that would be exceptional and grande, I forget when I cover the most part of the distance, and only remember when I arrive.With ease, I take her hands gently, leading her out of the car, and into the clinic. I can't even stop thinking about the wedding all the while, I really cannot wait until the day. I don't know what to do to calm down my excitement.Days go by faster than I imagine, as I suddenly realised that the we
THIRD POVThe next morning Rita woke up to the sound of the alarm,her hand went straight to the bedside table to turn off the alarm,then she picked up her phone casually scrolling through the internet when she came across a very disturbing picturewhat she saw made her angry and shocked, it was the news of Shawn and Michelle's wedding.The news made her very angry then she dialed a number on her phone“go to the morning bloom cafe to avoid suspicion from the palace,when you get there call me and do that now”Then she got out of bed and headed straight to the bathroom, after doing her business in the bathroom she came out, waiting for the spy to call her.After an hour her phone rang,she checked,it was the spy. “Finally” she exclaimed!“I saw on the internet that Shawn and Michelle are getting married,is it true?“Yes miss Rita they are already ongoing preparations for the upcoming wedding,miss Michelle is also some months pregnant her belly bump is now too obvious I think she should
Third POVIt's been a while Since Shawn took Michelle out, He has been really busy lately with their businesses.I was really excited when he told me that we were going to go out, so she was planning to put on a red dress, she wasted a lot of time doing her hair and her make up, She then styled her hair in a ponytail manner and added some shiny hair pin just to make it look extra special.She put on a dark makeup so it could probably fit perfectly with the red dress she was wearing , her eyebrows were lined perfectly, then she brought out three pairs of heels with different shades of red and tried each of them to see which one fits perfectly with the red dress.She was just to apply the final touches when she heard a car honk, it was Shawn. Shawn went up to go get Michelle. He knocked and opened the door and he stood there with his mouth opened and totally speechless."Oh wow… you look absolutely breath taking tonight, Michelle" Said Shawn who couldn’t take his eyes off her."Thank y
