Severely, the phone rang and without being told who was calling, Liana knew it'd be Lita, the nurse from the hospital Derek worked in. It wasn't unexpected that her frequent calls kept flowing in due to how profusely the nurse cared for the gynecologist. Sadly, Derek was rather an insensitive jerk when he wasn't being watched or seen. As much as he portrayed himself as a loving doctor, those sweet smiles would cease whenever he was behind a closed door.He wasn't hypocritical, instead considered it to be a mandate when he'd be around patients – Derek's smiles were unconditioned when it came to his patients and Michelle.So yes, the others were insignificant and, well, his nanny hoped he'd change that because of Lita. Even a blind man could see she felt something for him. “Ca-can't I at least come over to visit him? I don't mind that doctor Derek will be unconscious, I… just want to see his face” Lita's tiny voice said from the other end of the phone. Liana let out a light sigh and
In a word, the restaurant was… expensively beautiful. Michelle was lost for words as her eyes beheld the beauty of the place.To think that a place like this existed in the Pack was too much for her to comprehend – why hadn't she seen such a beautiful place on the news or television?“I got it built this month, Elle. I disallowed the media from broadcasting it” Shawn's soothing voice broke into her thoughts, and Michelle snapped out of it.“Huh…? It's astonishing!” thoughtlessly, she blurted and the widespread on his lips expanded into a wide grin that displayed accomplishment.Sincerely, he got the place built specifically for Michelle – no one knew her simple taste more than him, yet he established a restaurant that embodied his perfectionist taste and hers.Shawn wanted to apologize and start all over again with her in a special place – he wanted Michelle to be his once more in the sweetest way.Currently, both lavishly yet enchantingly gorgeous couples stood at the pathway of the
Was…was his heart even beating at this point? Shawn didn't know – he was unaware of everything and anything that was happening.The sole thing he and his wolf were capable of comprehending was Michelle's absence – his mate, their mate, was still in that burning building.She needed to be safe.A second wasn't wasted anymore before the Alpha King, Shawn, in front of his underlings, metamorphosed into his gorgeous wolf and then hurled himself into the burning restaurant.“Your Majesty!” almost everyone present yelled in astonishment once he leaped in. Will the Alpha be alright?Even for a surreal being like himself, the flames of this fire were abnormally strong.Could no one seriously tell? As the Alpha went into the excessively burning establishment, the firefighters focused fully on extinguishing the flames.Some held different extinguishers, while other hoes blurted out profuse water; all were centered on the burning building.Yet…a single ember of flame wasn't put out – it kept bur
Based on the Alpha's situation, everyone was oblivious to the time morning came. None were yet to comprehend how such a massive, and destructive fire started.None were yet to get over the heart-wrenching mindset that either their loved ones were gone forever or mortally injured.Indeed, it was a gloomy day in the Pack. The hospitals were stacked with wounded wolves, the law enforcement agencies gathered at the burnt crispy restaurant, and the others who were fortunate enough to escape balled their eyes out.Among the heartbroken souls was the Alpha King, Shawn. His situation was unarguably the worst – for an Alpha of his status to allow such to happen, and losing his mate… Michelle placed him in a pitiful condition.Due to Raven's quick-thinking and ethereal powers, she was able to pluck out Shawn from the midst of that burning furnace, yet a lot of damage had already been done.Despite being in his compelling wolf state, the fire was seemingly ignited more by the presence of a gaseo
Ever since the break of dawn, a certain thought refused to leave her mind. Initially, it was nothing disturbing, but the more she pondered about it, it turned bothersome.Raven, the black witch who was somehow considered a heroine by the other maids because she sensed a fire occurrence the previous night, could be seen at the compound.Was she supposed to be here? No – the Head assigned her to solely take care of the garden today. It did come as a shock to her since her workload could be considered bulky.Then again, the beta had seemingly requested for it to be lessened and though Raven was grateful, she couldn't stop thinking about the Scarlet Heart Pack.It's callous Alpha, Sebastian, to be specific. Lately, she thought about her beloved that was still there – waiting, praying, and hoping for her to come back to him; her brother, Chris.Certainly, it has been a while since she failed woefully in her mission, and to keep herself alive, succumbed to the will of this Pack.Yet, her mi
At the sight of Michelle lying unconscious and bonded like some sort of animal, Derek's body automatically rushed to her side.As he rushed to her, Sebastian himself walked towards the orchestrator of the entire thing, Rita. Both stood beside each other, but none spared the panicking gynecologist a glance.“Michelle! Chelle!” a bit fearfully, he called slowly as he lowered himself to the floor.His hands trembled uncontrollably as they reached for her slightly bloody face. Her lips were badly bruised, and probably she was handled roughly, so yes they were slight cuts all around.Singularly, Michelle was a mess. Yet none could deny how alluring she was – even in a state like that, her beauty outshone a handful of dressed females.Gently, Derek placed her head on his thighs, then his eyes roamed through every part of her. The cuts were the only form of injury on her body – seemingly, the flames of the fires didn't come as close as a mile to her skin.Yes, everyone in the Pack was highly
Those affectionate eyes of hers trailed after his figure, which was headed for a crimson-red Ferrari. Though it wasn't that late in the day, nightfall was already approaching, so one wondered where in hell's name the beta headed.Curiously, Marianna watched on as he slid into the comfort of the car then shortly after, it drove out of the Palace. Her eyes were pinned on the driving car until it sped out of her sight before a grin crept up that lipstick-covered lips of hers.After Andrew acted so insensitive to her kind gestures during the early hours of the day, the she-wolf for a model spent the rest of her days indoors. Her best friend and the sole person she related to Rita, had left the Palace during the early hours of the day.Marianna might act indifferent, but she genuinely cared about Rita's welfare and her unknown whereabouts. Neither of them was birthed in this Pack, nor do they have any vast knowledge about the Pack's places.So yes, it was somewhat strange and suspicious of
To put how his day went in a single description, then it'd be shitty as hell! Andrew, being the beta of the Pack, occasionally experienced days that drained his life, but those were mainly caused by excess workload.But apart from being the beta, his day was displeasure - in a sense, nothing at all went his way.Ranging from the numerous issues the fire outburst had caused to its investigation, Andrew had his mind set on the Palace.Though he spent half of the day at the Palace, he stayed locked in the study room as countless scrolls flooded his way. They weren't even the duties of an Alpha, since Shawn's were given directly to him.However, mistakes were made incessantly due to Andrew's unmindful state – his thoughts were clouded with both the welfare of Alpha Shawn, the whereabouts of Michelle, and … Raven.He acted horribly towards her; no one needed to preach a scripture into his ears before he acknowledged that fact.Andrew's action towards the black witch was plain harsh – he ha
Chapter 107Third person povAlthough the palace was being decorated and more attention was placed on it. The wedding was an outdoor event just like every other werewolf union.The palace had more decorations than the main venue because the couple wanted the palace to be hosting the after party, that was why they sent out invitations. The invitations that were earlier sent out were for the after party.The wedding was to be done in an enchanted forest close to the palace. It's almost a foot’s throw from the palace. The shaman was already there, he was on time.It's a few hours to the wedding and both bride and groom are getting prepared. The Luna's wedding dress was elegantly beautiful, it was a reflection of nature, who ever made the dress or came up with the concept was extremely brilliant and innovative.Shawn looked so good, he represented his title so well. THE ALPHA KING!!! He admires himself in the mirror as he lamented “Today is the day, today marks the beginning of a new frui
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
