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
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
