His entrance into the Palace was nothing shorter than awe-filling the black that he brought with him. Once they alighted from the car, Raven, who was now dressed in a beautiful black dress, roamed her eyes around the glamorous Palace.Was this even a Palace? — for someone like her, this was simply a castle. Its largeness, designs, and texture were nothing short of breathtaking to the blonde hair beauty.However, her admiration was short-lived due to the abrupt placement of a metallic bracelet on her left wrist. It brought her back from her little sightseeing to the face of the beta she spent the night with, Andrew.Despite their unfriendly interaction and his mean glares at her, Raven didn't cease in her consideration – he was a beautiful man. Though it sounded quite unsettling to address a male as beautiful, Raven thought it best fitted him.His facial features although had so many traces of feminism, his aura, composure, and walking steps were that of a proud and powerful male. Whil
In a word, Michelle's ears were either dysfunctional or she was in some kind of dream because… what?Did Shawn, the same Alpha King, Shawn that unhesitatingly dissented about her pregnancy and caused their separation without batting an eyelid, utter those words?Honestly, doubt was overflowing in her soul, then again it lasted briefly on her face before she returned her countenance to that of blankness.Her slightly dropped jaw got pulled up, then her gaze averted to the road as the car rode smoothly down the highway.To think that Shawn would say such words and even address her child. The one she struggled for the past weeks to keep alive in such a manner was certainly unpredictable and overwhelmingly surprising.But what bugged Michelle insanely was…why? What truly was the motive of Shawn?Silently, she sighed, frustrated at her zero understanding of this man – one moment you'd assume you know everything about him, but the next you would be completely oblivious to his true nature.T
Alighting from the car, her eyes caught the dark clouds – surely, a thunderstorm was bound to happen. It was going to be a chilly night, as Michelle already felt her skin being dominated by goosebumps by the mere breeze.She wasn't the only one who seemed to notice the upcoming chilly weather, since the Alpha, Shawn, also felt slightly cold.He moved his eyes directly to Michelle once he alighted from the lush car, went over to her, then surprisingly held her hand in mine.Feeling his warm fingers wrapped around hers, Michelle turned to gaze at him, but as usual, he had a dashing smile on his lips.“It'd be unfortunate if we're caught in the rain, right? Shall we hurry shopping?” Shawn asked gently, and Michelle found herself nodding lightly.Noon had long passed and well it was characterized by Michelle getting a somewhat tedious checkup at the hands of a different gynecologist. Derek, who Michelle expected to be at the hospital unexpectedly, had been absent for days without stating
Gently, those eyes of her finally parted and once her consciousness completely invaded her body, the sounds of the repeated clashing of rain droplets on the glass window penetrated her ears.It was raining heavily – her body had realized that before her due to the vast goosebumps that had covered her exposed arms.Though the window was shut tightly, the chilliness the downpour brought along was capable of clothing even the heavily cladded in goosebumps.For some seconds, her eyes gaped blankly at the ceiling, but once her nostrils inhaled a particular scent, her eyes flashed open sharply.Raven sat upright swiftly on the bed, then again her newly stitched abdomen caused her so much pain.“Ah!” a grunt fell off Raven's lips as her right hand went to caress the painfully throbbing spot. Without being told, her outfit had been changed to something similar, and she must have lost consciousness after what transpired the previous night.Raven glanced outside then felt confused – wasn't it s
The downpour and incessant thunderclaps seemingly would go on for a while, so Margarita insisted on staying at his office. How did she even get into his office in the first place?“You fucking drove here in this rain, why can't you go back?” The harshness of his voice would have frightened anyone, then again anyone but Margarita.She wasn't fazed by hostility – Andrew did an outstanding job In making her accustomed to it.So yes, there were few things that could ever be said that'd faze her. Derek being mean to her was something she had foreseen even before their alliance was made.Presently, her legs were placed comfortably on his desk while her fingers busied themselves by filing her perfectly manicured nails. There was nothing for her to do or discuss with Derek and when he growled unfriendly at her.“Say, darling-”“Don't fucking call me that!” Rita's statement got cut short rashly by his light bark before he returned his eyes to the flies in his possession.Being a doctor was no
Stepping out of the shower, his eyes instantly landed on the tray of meals placed on the center table – a smile curved up his lips.He knew that was Michelle's handiwork, but the fact that she felt embarrassed to see him again got him laughing lightly.It was always a habit of hers to get slightly ashamed whenever they had an intimate moment, but today was quite adorable.Recalling how she pushed his frame off hers and then dashed out got Shawn laughing out loud.He missed moments like that with her.There was something he always looked forward to when they were in a relationship, and reminiscing on them, the realization of how madly he missed them just dawned on him.The water droplets continuously dripped from his hair down to his well-built chest while walking towards his wardrobe.He stole a glance at the window and then listened to the sounds emanating from outside – it sounded like the downpour had ended, but what about the night's chillness?The Alpha King had planned out such
Though it felt slightly uncomfortable that a cab was waiting for her at her arrival, Michelle couldn't waste any time pondering deeply about it.It was simply irrelevant when compared to Derek. Surprisingly, how her body still moved quickly once he called about being sick.To others, it might be peculiar then again, the gynecologist had been one of the few people who stood beside her during her lowest of low hours. What sort of human would she be to abandon him during his hard times?Yes, it was rather late at night and the chillness of the air made her feel nauseated, but Michelle was determined to help Derek.She doesn't know anything about medicine nor about the body structure of a werewolf, yet Derek is specifically pleased for a shoulder to lean on.By now, the cab which she rode in has departed further away from the Palace and headed for his penthouse, with Michelle's eyes staring outside.Her thoughts were partly on Derek and also on… Alpha Shawn. She hadn't had time to think a
“I appreciate your help, Sir”He could only stare pitifully at the beauty who smiled slightly at him – now, he wasn't even trying to hide his sympathy and pity for her.As a Shaman, he devoted himself and had one interest in his life – that was to save, and help to cure the injured and sick. As one, no one could comprehend the amount of rage he felt whenever she, this certain beautiful maid, would be brought to the infirmary for treatment.How could one continuously get injured for almost every consecutive day? It was completely unacceptable and vexing.Earlier that night, the Head Maid came to him to borrow the first aid kit. At his refusal to lend it to her, she brought Raven the same individual he treated the previous day for another treatment.Furiously, he treated the deep painful cuts on all her fingers, dismissed her, and now, she is back because of a head injury.“This can't keep going on” the aged shaman muttered as his eyes studied Raven, whose head was wrapped severally wit
