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
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
