“I was so worried about you” the soothing voice of Derek slid into her ears which got her smiling widely. The fact that so much care, affection, and sweetness was laced in it got Michelle feeling loved.To think that she could find someone, aside from Mira, that'd care unconditionally for her after suffering from such a heartbreaking situation got her feeling fulfilled.Her separation with the Alpha of this very Pack she lived in affected in various ways – ways that she thought it'd be impossible to recover from. Then again, the Moon Goddess truly was merciful enough to place Derek her way.The hug entailed tenderness and compassion and soon, Michelle could feel his hand on her lengthy brown hair, brushing and caressing it softly.Both individuals got so caught up in their embrace that the presence of Shawn was totally ignored; much to his vexation.The Alpha had grown inconsolably angered to the extent that his claws were slowly emerging from his fingertips. His fists were clenched t
It was night.A very chilly and unusual, sad one for Michelle, who could be seen gaping at the rounded moon. Tonight, was the Mating Ceremony – an event that usually grants werewolves their heart desires since they'd be fated to someone they'll share the rest of their lives with.A remarkable day, wasn't it?Michelle had always considered it to be so – well, that was when she and Shawn were together.This same, the nights were unruly chilly, with heavy yet light gushes of winds that'd kiss the bare skin of anyone outside.The moon's radiant rays also presented a suitable mood for newly mated werewolves to cuddle and bask in the warmth of their souls.A bittered smile ultimately broke out of Michelle's lips once the howl of a wolf was heard – she recalled perfectly listening to Shawn's howl the day they found out they were mates.So yes, this day entailed so much sadness for Michelle, and she couldn't help her tears from dropping rapidly from her eyes.The fact her encounter with Shawn
What…was going on?This singular question continuously roamed around the overly perplexed mind of Michelle. Despite how curious and confused she felt at a time, she found it hard to glance at the Alpha's face.The brief exchange of eyes they had just got her soul filled with…guilt - shocking, huh. The fact that her body, mind, and soul thinks of her close contact with Derek as cheating on someone who clearly broke up with her was kind of ridiculous.Yet, it wasn't entirely shocking – herself and Shawn are madly in love…well, they were once madly in love but not anymore.But was that really? Definitely, her heart didn't align with her determination to forget about him, while Shawn was…What was Shawn doing again? Why on Earth would he allegedly buy the restaurant of his ex mate? — what was this cheeky Alpha up to?Unintentionally, those mesmerizing green eyes of hers glanced at him then again he wasn't staring at her, so Michelle was opportune to gape endlessly at him.What was he sayi
Writer's POV_“Thank you once more, doctor! We're indebted to you” the joyous gush of appreciation that escaped the lips of the middle-aged woman got Derek smiling widely.Nothing in this world could top the tearful gratitude of a woman – it gave his soul the utmost solace and joy.Currently, he was about to exit the ward, which had a patient he just finished operating on. The patient had her first child, but since she was under aged, the delivery was very difficult.Fortunately, the hospital was ever thankful that Derek had chosen to work there; he was the best in his field. The handsome doctor simply waved at the patient who was now attending to her child and her mother that stayed besides her before he left the ward.“Thank you for your hard work, doctor Derek” a nurse who had aided him during the delivery did a light bow, and he merely smiled.“I thank you too, nurse Lisa. Now if you excuse me, I have some things to attend to” Derek flashed her a heart-warming smile before leaving
Due to the incessant ray of sunshine that persisted on her enchanted face, Michelle was forced to wake up. Weakly, her eyelids parted, and her green eyes immediately beheld the overly familiar yet richly designed ceiling.Her once partly opened eyes widened madly as the realization dawned on her – this was Shawn's room. After all, she had stayed with him for most of her life.Her arm instantly brushed the thick duvet off her body, then her body leaped quickly out of the King sized bed.There, Michelle stood with eyes reflecting disbelief, and she roamed around the room – there was no doubt that this was Alpha Shawn's room.“Why am I here?” her tiny voice came out as confused. Honestly, she seemed to have no idea of how she came to spend the night in his room.Michelle wasn't opportune to ponder deeply about it since her morning sickness kicked in. Sharply, she moved to the bathroom; no one needsn't point its direction to her – she wasn't someone new in the Palace anyway.Michelle's ha
Once those costly shoes of his stepped into the large but formally designed Council Room, silence prevailed almost instantly.The Council Room, a place where the Alpha and his beta alongside the Council Members discussed essential issues concerning the Pack, was always considered a sacred place.The Council Members were a group of six male werewolves – each aged, gray-haired or born, and quite knowledgeable and wise. An Alpha without beings like these was merely delusional or frankly thoughtless.The Council Room entailed an elongated wooden posh desk that was surrounded by numerous seats – just like a setting of a meeting of BODs, but slightly different.Placed elegantly at their front was the throne–like chair of Alpha Shawn, while his beta stood beside his right – as it should be.“Your Majesty!” immediately he stepped in, all stood, then lowered their heads in acknowledgment of his presence.Each held Alpha Shawn in high esteem; at such a young age, he has already accomplished so
Once the manager uttered such a statement, his jaw dropped sharply in disbelief. What...what did he just say?He was banned from coming into this restaurant? but why? That question was answered almost immediately once his eyes caught that of Shawn.So..this was his idea? Seriously?Shawn got him banned from coming into just because of Michelle - could this Alpha be any more cornry?Derek wasn't the only one shocked - Michelle was literally flabbergasted at the news. She needed no one to tell her that this was the Alpha's idea yet what else could she do but glare at him.Her eyes refused to even do that due to the cocky expression he wore on his face - who on Earth told this man to smirk that handsomely.As much as it may sound ridiculous, Michelle found Shawn overly good-looking today but as the thought crept into her head, she shook her head repeatedly.Derek merely glanced down at her, and sincerely hoped she'd help him out here. Couldn't she say anything?He was getting kicked out i
Every part of the room's marble floors was covered with a type of clothing or the other; it all belonged to Rita.Well, a very pissed and outraged one. Currently, some luggage that she brought along were emptied, and its content lying wastefully on the floorThe heavens seemed to be in her favour tonight since she was fortunate enough to watch Alpha Shawn walk in. She was supposed to be in bed right now, then again, she had other plans now.Wondering what she was so determined in finding? To Rita, her dress was inefficient – since her attempts to entice the Alpha through normal, causal and provocative dresses had failed woefully, she has to resort to something else.Rita was overly confident that no sane man would be able to withstand her in a night dress - wasn't Alpha Shawn a healthy male. And what better time was there to be in his arms than a night of such a chilly thunderstorm.Alpha Shawn's affection and attention were her main target, which she aimed to acquire within the weeks

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

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 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
