75The soft repeated pelting of raindrops on the rooftop provided such a serene atmosphere — Michelle was so reluctant to awaken. Here in the Alpha King's chamber, and on his freakishly large bed, she laid, sleeping soundly. There was a slight redness of her eyes, but compared to last night, this was nothing. Then, her eyes were overly puffy and reddened — it wasn't unexpected since she cried bitterly for so many hours. Still, it felt… Nice. Mira's death was unforgettable — she was more than a friend, and a sister combined. The fact that she left this Earth due to murder was overly heartbreaking. Yet… It had happened, and regardless of how heart shattering it was, Michelle had to move on. There certainly was more to life, but her murderer would… No, must be brought to justice. “Shawn…” A sleepy mutter erupted from her lips as her hand unconsciously roamed on the bed. Her mate's side was verily cold, and that prompted her into waking up. Michelle's widened eyes quickly raked th
76“Oh… So he left? I feel so sorry for him” Those words erupted from her lips in a saddened sulk. Michelle could be seen with Shawn. The couple mentally yet individually concluded to spend every single minute of the day together. Not just a day but each one of their lives. An event, one the Alpha King noiselessly has been working on, was going to cement their lifelong relationship. It was just a matter of time. His study was a room that Andrew, his right-hand man, and Beta was banned from entering unless it was an emergency. But regarding Michelle, his pregnant human mate has access to everything and anything in his life. While Shawn seated on a chair as he partially focused on the scroll in his possession, seating on the desk closely was Michelle. A bowl of diced fruits was in her hands, and as she ate slowly yet elegantly from it, she threw subtle questions at him concerning a death — Mira's death. She truly was trying to move from it, and an answer to one of her questions
“You're… Getting teary-eyed” The instant she averted her gaze from the busy sidewalks to her side, she beheld a pair of glassy dark eyes.They belonged to none other than an obviously emotional black witch — Raven.Michelle was flabbergasted at the sight in front of her, and Raven began chuckling, trying to drive off the awkwardness in the air.“Am I? I didn't notice” She lifted her hands to her face, and in an attempt to retain the threatening tears from dropping, she rubbed her eyes hard.“Raven…” Michelle quickly brought out a handkerchief from her purse then reached for her face. “You need to stop crying” Tenderly, the human wiped off the tears trailing gradually down the witch's face.The two ladies could be seen in the back of an SUV belonging to the Alpha King, and also Michelle's mate, Shawn.Noon was fast approaching, and the rain had ceased in its light showers. Since her mate was preoccupied by his beta, Andrew, she sought for Raven and fortunately found her preparing to le
78“Is something wrong, Your Majesty?” Andrew, as observant as always was quick to notice the abrupt shift of the Alpha King's mood the moment that particular scroll was handed to him. The day was drawing closer to night, and regardless of the gray clouds shielding the sun, some persistant rays seeped past them and showered on the Pack's populace. The Nation Summit mandated a lot from every indiviual in the Royal Palace but demanded the Alpha and his beta's undiluted and unbridled attention. With the shitty Alpha Sebastian dead, Shawn surely had to resume fully in his roles on the Summit's preparation. After his dear pregant mate and inevitable Luna snuck off knowingly with Raven - the loved dark witch, he and Andrew remained in his study and ever since, drowned themselves in a sea of work. At the sides of his table were rolled up scrolls - stacked on top of the other and multiple used feathered pen. Exhaustion and fatigue roamed through both's eyes but after Shawn picked up a pa
Chapter 79“I'm so happy I'm home and I've missed this place, can't wait to help out” Rita said looking at Derrick who seemed to be uninterested and irritated by her presence.“You sincerely do not have to pretend, it's just two of us here” Derrick said with a pinch of disgust lingering on his facial expression.“Look grumpy, we have a common interest. I want Shawn and you want Rita, that's why we are working together. So we had better learn to tolerate each other, you'll have time tolerate my beautiful behavior and I'll have to deal with your bad character”Even though he wanted to drag Rita's hair from her head, unfortunately she was right.“You are right, we'll have to secure our plans so I can never see you again” Derrick said walking away.Rita scoffed and said “not like seeing you adds anything to my day”.******Shawn’s pocThe palace seems to be a bit gloomy since Michelle came back with tears in her eyes.“shawn she has to go, Rita has to die she has done enough, the fact th
Due to the importance of the letter and how Andrew's brain works after handing out the letter to the delivery guy, he ordered some men from the populace to deliver an oral message to Beta Brandon just in case he doesn't get to read the letter or look at his Email.Even though Brandon Freeman doesn't leave for meetings outside his pack, for some reason Shawn was banking on his presence.“The nation summit is almost here, I doubt your pack got invited. I don’t think Shawn will let it happen” Derrick said looking at Rita who seemed to be irritated by his constant nagging about the way forward and what she was planning to do.“I will let you know soon, I'd have to talk to my father today” she said with so much annoyance.“What is stopping you from going right now? We don't have time on our hands your highness” the sarcasm was clearly evident in his tone.Rita has never been one to take instructions but this time she had no other option.She left to her father's room, She saw the door open
Author’s POVIt was obvious that Derrick was not a fan of Rita. She irritated him so much but situations brought them together.Hearing her voice was enough to make him livid but hearing her stupid plans that could get him killed like her previous victims was even more aggravating.It's three days to the summit and no definite plan has been made. Nothing.Rita's sight irritated him and the fact that he is now wanted because of the incident with the Alpha king and his mate because of a failed plan of Rita upset him even more.“look we have three days to this summit, no full proof plan, we don't know what Shawn is thinking and why he took the bounty off”“You think the reason he took it off is because he's scared of your father's army? Is that it?”“C'mon we both know that Shawn doesn't joke with Michelle he can kill for her. Don't you think he has a well thought out plan for us and we should do the same?”The sudden still quietness in the room made it seem like Rita was deep in though
Author’s POVRaven took her new found job very seriously one would even think she the Alpha king was rewarding her for it.In the morning she would check up on Michelle like they were sisters.“Your high- I mean Michelle” Michelle had asked her to stop being to formal around her and that they were friends now so they should be very comfortable with each other.“The summit is in two days, what style you like to show up in ?”Michelle has never been one to show off, so dressing up too extravagantly wasn't really her thing.“I honestly don't know I think I'll just wear a simple gown with a new pair of heels Shawn got me then accessorize with silver jewelry”“Not on my watch you won't” raven spoke with some sort of entitlement over Michelle’s style of dressing.“We will have to find out what the alpha king will be wearing first so we'll style yours, I think it's only wise if both of you wear the same color” she said with an enormous amount of glee.“Hmm…I'll just let you do you. Just don

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

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.
