Those pairs of emerald green eyes were pinned down on the angrily marching figure of Alpha Shawn as he made his way to heaven knows where.Shortly, he was completely out of sight and the ache in Michelle's heart came in torrents. When Shawn infuriatingly slapped her hand away, a part of her heart throbbed in excess pain.He was angry at her… but why does she feel so pained? It shouldn't matter a bit to Michelle – Derek's life got spared because of her intervention, then again at what cause?“I shouldn't be…this bothered” Michelle mumbled while batting her eyelashes severally to prevent a lone tear from cascading down her cheeks.At that moment, she heard footsteps drawing closer and Andrew soon stepped out of the study with a visibly angry frown on his lips – the amount of anger he felt towards Derek right now was unexplainable.“Michelle, are you okay?” the beta placed a hand on her shoulder since she acted oblivious to his presence – even when he stood in front of her.What in hell'
It was going to be a long night and not in a sweet or pleasurable way – no, one which consisted of utmost confusion, perplexity, and surprises.Here at the Royal Dungeon where criminals or lawbreakers that caused harm directly to Alpha Shawn before sentenced to either death or taken into the dungeon was beta Andrew.He left the Royal Palace quietly yet made sure to leave a note for Michelle. His words left to the maid, where he'd be back soon.However, Andrew failed to mention his whereabouts because Michelle would surely grow worried if he did.The Royal Dungeon served as a house for notorious criminals, lethal suspects and beings that'd be classified as evil.The beta had been directed to the cell of Alpha Sebastian – the ruler of the Scarlet Heart Pack.The same individual who attempted to abduct the mate of Shawn, and also got in a brawl with him, yet inevitably lost. That was the same person Andrew expected to see.Then again, what his eyes were beholding contradicted his thought
They could only watch the pretty raven - haired lady prepare dinner with so much…. precision and perfection! As personal chefs to the great Alpha King, Shawn, their skills were predictably spectacular then again, it didn't stop them from admiring the ways of this strange beauty. Unknown to them, she was the Alpha's mate or ex mate, but Shawn had gone out of his way to order Andrew into hiring new maids once Michelle left the Palace. So yes, the two she wolves were completely oblivious to her true identity. If they weren't, they would have instantly declined her offer in aiding them cook – while staying in the Palace, Michelle was highly restricted from cooking. You could say Alpha Shawn was overly protective and sensitive when it came to her welfare. Hence, Michelle couldn't help but regret threatening him with her health when she knew how concerned he could get about her. Despite their separation, he clearly still felt something for her, yet Michelle wasn't ready for that anymor
For someone who detested hate night rides, the beta hadn't, no other choice than to lodge at a hotel to spend the night. Despite the fact the hotel could be described as magnificent, and classy, Andrew felt highly uncomfortable.It wasn't because of the excess greetings the workers filled his ears with – being a beta to the Almighty Alpha King Shawn entitled him to ultimate respect from every soul in the Pack and beyond.Well, he was highly recognized, but Marianna allegedly considered him to be a stable boy or a servant. However, none contributed to his feeling of discomfort presently.Here, at the reception, stood Beta Andrew and behind him was… Raven – the black witch. Now, the aura a black witch usually gives out was that of lethality, disdain, and uncontrollable resentment for werewolves.So… why wasn't she doing the same? Andrew could only perceive an emotion that wasn't supposed to be given off by any due to their haughtiness – fear.Why would a black witch be cowering in fear
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
