Chapter 48Mara’s pov“ Yes, I sure do but that is for later. The drugs you used on her were suspected to have something to do with the rogues, I hope you know the trouble that you are calling upon yourself,” Rhys sounded, making emphasis on each statement.Sam's look fluttered and his voice started to trail off, “ I… I don't know… I don't know the drugs that you are talking about,” I have been friends with sam for quite some time and I could tell that he was lying from his tone and facial expression.“ I don't have much to say, you should be ready to defend yourself later ,” Placing the pieces of what they have been talking about together, I could point out that they are talking about me, probably what happened to me last night really had to do with Sam.“ Just because you are the Alpha doesn't mean you should bully your subjects or accuse them wrongly,” Sam suddenly spoke up, looking like he wasn't the timid person that was just stuttering minutes ago.Rhys snared and shifted bac
Chapter 49Rhys povSam snickered and rolled his eyes, “ you have always been my enemy,” he responded to her aggressively.His statement tore her and made her burst into a fresh round of tears. I pulled her to my chest and enveloped her in a warm hug.“ He… he used to be my good friend,” she sobbed and teared up more. I felt a liquid seep through my shirt and I needed no soothsayer to tell me that it was her tears.I brushed my hand over her hair and consoled her, “ stop crying, he isn't worth your tears, can you see that he is not even repentant?” I ran my hand over her back gently.“ Even though I felt that he had something to do with yesternight, I still had that little trust in him that it was probably one of his friends and not him. I guessed I judged wrongly,” she poured out her mind and sniffed.“ It's okay, everything will be fine,” she finally calmed down and laid her head on my chest.I turned and signaled to the guard that previously handed me the tablet, “ Head guard, appr
Chapter 50 Mara's pov I watched the argument that was brewing between Sam and Rhys, I just stood still while I watched the drama between the two of them. They kept bantering words until Sam suddenly mentioned Talia's name, Rhys suddenly froze and his heartbeat raced, making me stand up from his chest. I stared at his face but couldn't read his expression. “ Do you dare choose between Mara and Talia?” Sam persistently proposed and all Rhys did was to lower his gaze and stutter. He got angry and pinned down Sam. My heart clenched in pain and I couldn't describe the emotions that were running through my body, sadness, betrayal… were all I was feeling at this point. “ Let him go, Now!” I commanded unconsciously, my voice was so stern and cold that I almost doubted whether I was the one that spoke just now. “ Choose one just like he has said,” I added with a serious face. “ M… Mara, don't mind him,” she stuttered, trying to convince me. I didn't have it as anger was brewing inside
Chapter 51Mara’s povRay of sunlight seeped through the cotton and settled down on my face, I used my palm to obstruct it as I used to other one to cover my mouth from the yawn that threatened to escape from my mouth.“ Where am I? I asked no one in particular as I stared around the room in a dumbfounded expression.“ Ma'am, you are awake,” a maid ran to my side with a smile. The smile was that of relief which made me wonder what has happened while I was in deep slumber.“ Water please,” I requested in a hoarse voice, my throat hurts Soo much and It needs to be moistened.“ Here ma'am,” she handed me a water in a tray and beside it was porridge and soup.I took and drank just the water before placing the tray in the bedside table.“ Where is the Alpha? Why is everywhere silent as if they are brooding someone? What happened to me?” I bombarded her with questions.She smiled and patiently answered all my questions, “ I don't know where exactly the Alpha is but I heard that he is very b
Chapter 52Rhys pov“ Please get her away from here,” I said to Duncan who followed my Instruction and carried Mara away from the field.“ Alpha, the rogues are attacking, they are almost here,” a warrior shouted and was hit by a bullet from behind him which instantly made me panic.“ Take cover now!!!” I growled loudly.“ All the warriors should assemble,” I instructed and ran over to the storage room. We didn't know they were going to attack so we weren't prepared at all.I took out guns, swords and a few safety ammunitions that were within reach. “ Here,’’ I handed the materials over to each of them, I was glancing behind me at Intervals to see their closeness to us.They finally arrived at the opposite side of where we were, their leader looked very sure and confident that they were going to win which somehow bothers me. Also, rogues are known for their dubious act of fighting behind the shadow and not confronting us but these ones didn't just fight and kill most of our pack membe
Chapter 53Mara's povOur eyes met and she laughed at me, she took her gaze away and focused it on Rhys. They both intensified their gaze which made me kind of uncomfortable.None of them was willing to give up on the staring contest that Rhys even started moving in her direction like someone that was hypnotized.I couldn't take it any longer, a stream of tears started rolling down my face and my heart clenched in pain as it felt like I was stabbed in my chest. Different thoughts were running through my mind and I had to run away from the field.‘ Is Talia's return going to ruin everything? Is she back for Rhys?’ I thought as I sat down alone in the training field. Noone was there so I had enough time to meditate.‘ I don't think Rhys is that careless, also something is off about her sudden return so Rhys should have noticed as well,’ my wolf assured me, Interrupting my thought.I was still skeptical of her assurance, ‘ Did you see the look in his eyes? It was that of love and great a
Chapter 54Rhys pov“ Where is she?” I repeated my question, they all stared at me dumbfoundedly and didn't respond.“ You can continue,” I don't want to add pressure to the atmosphere so l left them to look for Mara. Since she isn't In the training ground, she should be in her room.I strolled casually to her room,it seemed strange but I found myself wanting to see her.“ Alpha,” a coy voice rang behind me, making me freeze immediately. I gritted my teeth together angrily because I could feel a headache coming, judging from the owner of the voice.“ Good morning, Are you here to see me?” I replied politely.‘ You don't have to fake it, I also dislike her,’ black teased, interrupting my thoughts.‘ Do you know that it's not so Polite to interrupt people,’ I barked at him and shut him off from my thoughts.“ Did you hear what I just said? Seemed like you zoned off,” Yara said, jotting me from my thoughts.“ Pardon? Can you repeat what you said? I was bothered by something.” She tugged
Chapter 55Mara's povI grasped as my heart beat faster. Pregnancy! How did it happen? How could it be positive? “ I asked myself. Tears circulated my eyes, I squat gently on the floor.I felt my pulse and gasped, “ I am pregnant,”Confusion clouded my face as nothing specific came to my head. “ How… How did it happen?” My lip shook and quivered.I checked my pulse again to confirm my doubt but it was still the same thing. I was feeling two pulses.Tears gathered in my eye, making me squat gently on the floor, “ why is today such a bad day for me?” I lamented, tears rolling uncontrollably down my cheek.Footsteps started drawing near me and approached me, I stood up in a jiffy and dusted my body. I wiped my nose and cleaned my eyes to prevent the person from suspecting that something was wrong with me. At least that was the last thing I wanted to happen.I touched my lip to see that some remains of my vomits still hung on the side. With a look of repulse and disgust, I rinsed it of
