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
Chapter 107Third person povAlthough the palace was being decorated and more attention was placed on it.

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
Chapter 105Rita’s POVI’m really happy now that my plans have finally started taking giant step now that Rita’s baby is fighting for his stupid life.I don’t think I’ve been this happy in a long time, I need someone to share this news with, ok I think I should I call Luciano and tell him about this beautiful event that just came across my ear. 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 POVThe next morning Rita woke up to the sound of the alarm,her hand went straight to the bedside table to turn off the alarm,then she picked up her phone casually scrolling through the internet when she came across a very disturbing picturewhat she saw made her angry and shocked, it was the news of Shawn and Michelle's wedding.The news made her very angry then she dialed a number on her phone“go to the morning bloom cafe to avoid suspicion from the palace,when you get there call me and do that now”Then she got out of bed and headed straight to the bathroom, after doing her business in the bathroom she came out, waiting for the spy to call her.After an hour her phone rang,she checked,it was the spy. “Finally” she exclaimed!“I saw on the internet that Shawn and Michelle are getting married,is it true?“Yes miss Rita they are already ongoing preparations for the upcoming wedding,miss Michelle is also some months pregnant her belly bump is now too obvious I think she should
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
