“Chris…” With balls of seemingly unceasing tears cascading down her cheeks, the black witch of a maid, Raven brought her fingers to the pale face of her brother.To say that she was glad would be an understatement – Raven was overwhelmingly delighted.After months of being separated from him, with the addition of over a decade of sheer forced labor and pain, they were free.Free from the Scarlet Heart Pack, and perhaps even bondage. Who would blame her for crying so unstoppably?Her heart was filled with joy, and her soul had never felt this much gladness in a long while – it even got her trembling.The beta of the Alpha King, Andrew could only glance at her after he laid Michelle on a wheeled stretcher.It was kind of laughable yet brilliant how the beta thought of bringing with him two stretchers of this kind.They had been in his car, but he dimmed it essential after the Alpha King handed two injured individuals to him.While Michelle sustained light injuries like bruising her knee
Rushing through the stairs of the staircase, the wheels of her luggage made noises that attracted the Head Maid and some other passing by. Sharply, each rushed out of the kitchen but confusion filled their faces at the sight of an apprehensive Marianna. What had gotten into her. The Head Maid for once could clearly see the uneasiness plastered smoothly on her face, and judging from the luggage in her possession, she was about to leave. But why? Had something tragic happened that they weren't aware of?Still, none wanted to question her since Marianna was a guest - the Alpha King had ordered them to act respectfully to his guests. Who would want to anger Marianna knowing fully well she could terminate their stay in the Royal Palace with just a mere bad statement?Yet the Head Maid couldn't simply watch her leave - she was a guest, yes, and so her leave must be notified to thr Alpha King. And the rashness of her movements were plainly suspicious. "Excuse me, Miss Marianna?" Softl
Fear.It was always something the Alpha of the Scarlet Pack had felt to anything relating with the Alpha King. And perphas, that was what fueled his hatred towards Shawn. As an Alpha himself, why should he be controlled and be afraid of a fellow Alpha. It was conflicting feeling for Sebastian, and so, he wanted nothing more than to terminate Shawn. His tactfulness, compelling power, and superiority was frightening to Sebastian yet he admired that. He admired the amount of respect all had for him, and so wanted it desperately. Sebastian though wasn't the strongest and certainly not the most deserving of being made an Alpha, desired more. Some would classify it as greed yet all would agree to how distastful it felt to be intimidated by someone or something. Sebastian could only imagine the day where the Alpha King would attempt to rid his existence from the face of the Earth. And what would he, a weak and fortune filled being who luckily got chosen to an Alpha out of the blue do
The incessant ray of sunshine that kissed her face eventually woke her up. Steadily, closed eyelids flickered repeatedly before they were parted and this gorgeous set of emerald green eyes beheld the ceiling of the ward.Overly weak, her body remained motionless while her eyes roamed around the place.Her left wrist had a tube that was connected to a medical bag, and Michelle could tell it was to regain her strength.Some minutes had passed by with the ward being completely immersed in silence before her body eventually attempted to sit upright.Applying so much effort, Michelle tried to sit upright, but then again her weakened body wasn't complying.At that moment, the door to the ward was pushed open, and the entrance of a beautiful lady made her stop.“Miss Michelle! You're awake!” The excitement in her voice was filled with happiness before she rushed towards Michelle.Her eyes screamed out glee, yet Michelle smiled awkwardly at her – where had she seen this dark-haired beauty bef
At that moment, Rita was certain that there could never be any greater fool than she. Just how?How could she have allowed her mind drift off without considering Marianna's presence in the penthouse? The house was even kept a secret from Rita by Marianna, yet when her supposed friend didn't question her about her awareness about it, she didn't find it suspicious. Most definitely, Marianna was aware of her evil deeds. Then again, it was absurd how effortlessly she was given out to the police. What kind of friend was Marianna? Never has she asked for an explanation or her standpoint about the entire thing but rushes off to involve the police. She was a betrayer – something Rita had once foreseen yet stupidly denied kt severally. But now, it was unarguable that Marianna wasn't by her side; no one was. Not even her best friend – it was saddening, then again it was better to do things alone. People were only meant to be manipulated in her eyes, and since Marianna had exposed her true
She was the embodiment of hate.A living, breathing being that had hate coursing through the veins of her body instead of blood — beautiful effulgent yet eyes bloodshot; lethal, and outrageously murderous.Michelle was resentment reincarnated, but she was viewed in that manner only in his eyes.Only in the eyes of Derek — he witnessed his once sweet, lively, somewhat credulous Michelle transform into a being that loathed him.He did bring this upon him.Over, and over again his subconscious replayed the scene of Michelle stabbing him with the sole intention of riding him from the Earth.The wistful agony brought the gynecologist back to a state of consciousness.Slowly, his eyelids flew apart, giving way for his droopy teary orbs to behold the view of a ceiling.Derek was finally awake.His body which laid motionlessly on the moderately large bed was heavily bandaged. Both his wrists had narrowed tubes connected to a vein or two yet nothing felt real to him.Owlishly, Derek gawked at
“Every suite in the detached palaces should scream opulent. Do I make myself clear?”His voice dripped utterly with seriousness, and satisfyingly enough, the numerous servants, standing beside one another courtesied in understanding. “Yes, Beta Andrew!”Thereafter, they all dispersed into varying directions, leaving the Alpha King's Beta, Andrew, to refocus on the notepad in his possession. The Nation Summit was drawing closer with each passing second — it was an inevitable event. Alpha King Shawn always tasked his trusted Beta to take care of its arrangement. Such a prominent event was wholly controlled by him, so yes, not even the heart racing, unwanted saga the fortunately deceased Alpha Sebastian caused would disrupt his determination in creating another grand Nation Summit. “We have less than a week? Shit” Andrew parted his eyelashes, which he shut momentarily as a hand went to his hair, disheveling it in frustration. So much time has been taken from him, and it was solely m
73The rowdiness of the Scarlet Heart Palace without an Alpha, unlike any other day, wasn't caused by the servants haste to fulfil an appalling order by Sebastian. Almost every individual was as busy as a worker bee, and ostensibly dishearteningly enough, they were occupied wholly by a wrong reason; they were tidying the bloodied Palace. The brawl between the deceased, and surely won't be missed Alpha Sebastian, and the Alpha King, Shawn was indeed in a bloody one. A significant number of the guards were injured, but none sustained fatal injury. It was truly impressive how the Alpha King controlled his rage while fighting the guards — most would've wasted their lives since they were nothing more but servants. Shawn wasn't that callous — Sebastian was his main target. “Won't you at least wait until the Alpha's funeral's concluded?” Logan, a being once heavily trusted by the dead Alpha, uttered questioningly to the Pack's Delta. Night had befell every part of the Nation, and the w
