Hilda I was cleaning the walkway when my wolf, Avira, alerted me that there was somebody watching us. I lifted my gaze to the stairs, and behold, Avalor was looking at me intently. I only glared at him disdainfully. He actually had the guts to stay there and look at me after what happened last time.My skin crawled when I snapped Nancy running her hands through his bare chest. I gulped in lots of saliva and looked away to continue with my work."Remain focused, Hilda; don’t get jealous!" Avira said it in my head. "Shut up!" I yelled at her.I snapped back the moment I heard something fall on the floor, only for my eyes to fall on banana peels. I looked up, and it was Nancy who threw the banana peels where I had cleaned."Don’t clean that, and let's see what will happen. You are just very stubborn; I remember the king begging you not to sweep anymore, but you insisted, and now this," Avira snapped in my head.I ignored her and continued what I was doing. I just love to sweep; it is ju
Hilda "Don’t you dare lay a finger on my sister, or both of us are going down." I heard Nancy speak to someone over the phone while I peeked through the spyhole on my door.That was all I could hear. I knew she was on a long call all along, but it got my attention the moment I heard her shrieking, and I slouched to my door. What does she mean,both of us will go down? Is she involved in some kind of illegal business? Well, not as if it were my business.I laid down on the bed with my back. As a pregnant mom, lying on your back becomes routine. I loved to sleep facing downwards, but since I got pregnant, either I lay with my back or sideways. I glanced at the ceiling, counting the number of weeks remaining to deliver my pups and get the hell out of this palace. I can’t wait to go far away, where I can no longer see his annoying face, and he will never find out that he is the father of the pups that I am carrying. Let him enjoy his only apparent heir to his throne and his wife, Nancy."
Hilda"It's a pity; everyone in the palace treats you badly. I am so sorry for the violence and torture inflicted on you. I wish I could stop it. Stop Nancy from acting crazy on you!" Alex, Avalor’s brother, showed concern."Thank you so much,sir. I appreciate your care and kindness. I wish someone in the palace could be as nice as you are to me. May the moon goddess bless you!""Here, have this ointment; your skin looks so dehydrated and dry. It will do a lot of miracles on your skin, and I advise you to take good care of yourself. I am here in case you need any help.""Ok, sir!" I responded with my face glued to the ground. He placed the ointment on the table and shut the door after him."Not everyone here at the palace is bad after all," Avira, my wolf, said in my head. I pouted and sighed.A few minutes later, I came out of the room to take in some fresh air around the palace garden and to exercise my swollen legs. The last time the pack doctor checked on me, he advised that I do
HildaThe pack doctor arrived, and everywhere was crowded along the walkway, waiting on the outcome of his check with Nancy. I became very anxious and frightened. Avalor didn't even look at me twice. All that mattered to him was Nancy and his unborn pup.A few minutes later, the pack doctor came out with his white rope and a pair of stethoscopes in his hand."Did she get into a fight with anyone?"All gazes fell on me, and my face remained glued to the ground. Fear swelled inside me, and the doctor's words caused my entire body to tremble."Yes, Doctor!" I raised my head and snapped one of the maids' servants to respond to the pack doctor, who glared dangerously at me."Yes!" she pointed at me, and Avalor snapped at me."The CCTV captured everything, doctor. Hilda fought and slapped her. I saw her myself. She is evil," she lied again.Tears began to roll down my cheeks. I tried to control them, but it was futile."Well, unfortunately,Nancy has an acute heart attack, and she may go int
Hilda A hot pain sneared through me as Avalor’s voice sounded continuously in my head. "If anything happens to my pup, I will kill you, Hilda."Everyone had left, including Alex, who joined the pack doctor. I was left alone on the walkway, like someone who didn’t matter at all to anyone. Even with my big stomach, no one seemed to care except for Alex. Avalor is more concerned now with his unborn pup and woman. I don’t blame me. He is being a responsive father."When are you going to finally let him know that he is the father of your pups?" Avira questions."I thought you went mute; why are you asking a question you already know the answer to? Please, let us not touch that topic." I snarled at her.Is that not Alex? What could he have been discussing with the pack doctor for a while now? Could it be that Nancy got worse?"What do you think, Avira?" I questioned my wolf."What I think now is that you should take care of yourself. I am exhausted. Talk more about you, who is carrying pup
HildaYears had passed, but the ache in my chest at my parents loss was still present. I wish both were still alive to protect me from this wicked world. Unfortunately, I am just alone in this world of misery. If they hadn’t insisted on saying that to that stranger that very day during that fire outburst, both could still be alive today. Who was this fellow they tried to save, and where could he be now? I hope, wherever he is, he remembers that my parents died saving his life."Do you think that young man will one day look for the daughter of those who sacrificed their lives to save his?" I religiously go look"How do I know, girlfriend? He would probably, and I don’t think that should be added to the list of our problems now!" Avira responded, displeased in my head.Is it more than a few minutes since the pack doctor told me to wait on him? What could be delaying him? He just said he needed to get to his car and get something."Don’t you think the doctor is taking so much time? I rea
Hilda"Girlfriend, that was a white lie. You are very good at that, I mean, expertise!" Avira chuckled, and I just sighed. Avira can be very naughty sometimes."You have not told me all that went on with our mate Lucas; you promised to tell me everything that happened before I showed up!" Avira requested.I sighed and frowned. This is not the topic I really wish to talk about, because each time I fix my mind on how Lucas rejected me, the pain feels so fresh.Mates are paramount in wolf culture. A mate is your second half—your special someone picked by our moon goddess. Your mate becomes the most important aspect of you. It is the connection of two souls. Once you are presented with your mate by our moon goddess, you love them instantly. Your mate becomes the number one person in your life. You love them with everything in you and always want to be with them.In my case, that very Solstice night, I was very happy, expecting our mate. I picked up his scent and traced it, only to find my
Hilda 78I crouched down from the bed and stepped towards the door. I peeked through the spyhole, and it was damn Avalor."What are you doing here, Avalor? I thought you were clear when you said you never wanted to see my face again." Anger began to simmer in my heart as the thought of what the pack healer said to me crossed my mind."Open the door, Hilda."Please, Alpha Avalor, say whatever you want to say.""Oh, I see they now address me as Alpha Avalor."'I think it is best you leave me, sir. Please leave me alone. Allow me to have some peace. I don't ever want to see your freaky face either.""You asked me to leave your kingdom. Remember, or have you forgotten so soon?" I sighed aloud."Hilda…!" He took a breath and let it out aloud.His aura suffocated my nostrils, and I tried hard not to fall for it. What does he take me for? A football that he plays with?"Why not just open the door for him? Hear him out, please, girlfriend," Avira began to plead in my head."shut up! shut up!
