74It was dawn of the next morning yet none experienced of sleep. As the soft sounds of several vechiles' tyres passed through on the tarred road, and the unceasing balls of rain poured, a shabby cabin, camouflaged so perfectly by shrubs wasn't spared a glance. Rita loved it. The cabin housed two things - two rocky, aged and ass stinging chairs. Numerous webs designed expertly by spiders, and dust served as decorations. There was no furniture, and the kitchen, untouched for heaven's know when wasn't approached. Lethal reptails might be residing there so Derek and Rita spent the reminders of last night, and the early hours of the day staring at each other. Well, the she-wolf focused on the little hand mirror in her possession throughout a greater part of the hours shared. She doesn't want to speak to Derek.. yet. And the runaway gynecologist had zero interests in talking with Rita - she was sick. Her instructions which Sebastian stupidly complied to nearly led to Michelle's death
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
