By the time his car drove into the spacious compound, it was already nighttime. Yet, one wouldn't think so due to the business of the Palace servant.Well, the occurrence of the Mating Ceremony and Nation Summit was drawing closer with every passing second.While the Alpha King, Shawn busied himself with an investigation concerning Michelle's whereabouts, multiple maids were working their behinds off.The event was supposed to be glamorous; no – it was mandated to be.Only the Moon Goddess knows the number of Alphas, betas, omegas, and Deltas that would be in attendance. So, yes, they were tasked with the responsibility of getting the Palace into the most enchanting state ever!Due to the fire's outburst, a number of them had to go check on their families, and so it had been delayed.So when Shawn alighted from his car and his eyes fell on countless maids working relentlessly, he could only sigh.He stole a glance at his wristwatch, then gazed at them again. It was almost midnight – s
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
