NATALIA’S POV“James?” I muttered to myself as I watched the tall figure walk between the royal guards with purpose. How the heck did James find his way into this pack? That can’t be possible. But my eyes would never mistake someone else for him. I would recognize that face even in my sleep. One of the main reasons why I was in this whole situation in the first place, was the person that haunted my nightmares for years on end. “James” I tasted his name in my mouth again, taking care not to speak out too loud to gain attention.I made sure until they were far gone before I walked out of my hideout, my package tightly held in my hand. “How?” I murmured as I walked toward the initial path I was supposed to take. “How can James be in this pack” I spoke lowly to myself. Too stunned to care about passersby who might think I was a crazy young lazy.“Why the hell is James doing here” I chanted in my head walking forward with no direction. Not until I heard that cheerful voice did I realize
NATALIA’S POVLiving with pregnancy is underrated, I never realized that until now. It sucks to be pregnant and at a point, you had feel like to ridding yourself of it, having a good night's rest, and then putting it back on again. My breathing had been coming out in pangs since I laid down on the bed in an attempt to sleep, and the whole way I could breathe well was when I sat down on the couch which was not a suitable place to sleep, far from it. I continued to roll and toast on the bed, frustration hanging over me like a cloud. I had to resist the urge to yell out loud multiple times and instead, focus on trying to calm my labored breathing. I honestly don’t even know the cause of it.Was it the pregnancy or my restlessness from the thought of James and the new Alpha being brothers? There are many reasons why that thought doesn’t settle well in my head but then at the same time as I think there was no evidence to stick to, there is equally no reason to not believe that they are br
BETH’S POVI was still haunted with each passing day by the fact that I had left Natalia to leave the pack on her own. She was pregnant and also mourning the loss of her mates, I was supposed to be close to her each day to help her with the healing but like the selfish bitch I was, I retreated just because I found my mate.Then again, on the other hand, I have been seeking my mate for years, attending every mating ceremony with the thought that perhaps I would find him but each time I didn’t, my heart shattered into even more smaller pieces.And then out of nowhere, on an important day to which I was supposed to have been by Natalia’s side all the way until she was saved, if not for anything then at least for the pregnancy she was carrying, then my mate chose that particular day of all days to make his present known. I tried to ignore the feeling, pretending I felt nothing just like he did but the goddess knows I couldn't. No matter how much I tried, I just couldn't resist the mate b
NATALIA’S POV“What the……” Beth struggled to get words out of her mouth as I stood in front of her. “Na….Natalia…..wh…at on earth a…are yo…you…doing here?” She stammered all the way as she tried to make a complete decipherable sentence. “Why do you even…..I mean how did you…..goddess, are you alright?” She didn’t even wait for my response to the first question and bombarded me with others.“Beth calm down” I stretched my hand forward instinctively as if that would help her calm her horses. She really needed to calm down cause I have already risked coming in here, I can’t risk someone else seeing me.“Okay” She nodded vigorously as if realising that was what she was supposed to do but I could see it in her eyes that she had so many questions to ask and she proved me right immediately after.“What? But you need to tell me where you are coming from. No I mean you need to tell me why on earth you came back here when that was not part of the plan. Do you have any idea that hundreds of for
NATALIA’S POVBeth gazed at me for the longest time, probably trying to weigh how much I meant to her to the risky act I was trying to put her through. I honestly hated the idea myself but there was no other way around this. There was nothing I could do myself and she was the only friend I have around here, who I was sure could help.This is like asking a lot from someone who is just a servant especially seeing as the leaders are newly installed and I heard from multiple sources, how sour they are with ruling“Why on earth will you want me to do that?” She glared at me for the umpteenth time tonight.“Beth” I held her two hands into mine. “This is probably too much to ask but please, I need that information. There are lots of hidden agendas and for my own peace of mind, I need to figure everything out” I pleaded but she slipped her hands out of mine.“Don’t tell me you are thinking of taking revenge for the Alphas in your condition?” Her eyes fell on my stomach and instinctively, I wr
MICHEAL’S POVI glared at Steve openly as I held onto a book with my hand, I seem to be doing that a lot lately. The glaring at Steve and not the holding of the book was because he had been coming into my study every day just to pass on useless information. I told him precisely to do away with coming to me when he doesn’t find the girl but he didn’t listen as he was back the next day, claiming they had reached a dead end in their search, he was really crossing too much into line with me and I am going to deal with him in coming days.Like every day, he came in here today with the same news and when I attempted to bring up the matter I had, he would immediately try to put it down. I heard from reliable sources that she had a friend, a very close friend at that and I intended to get a hold of that friend and see what I could get out of her because definitely, she had to know something that would lead us to that bitch since all our attempt had turned out to be in vain.But each time I t
BETH’S POVWhen Natalia came in to meet me about the plan she had and the request she asked of me, I was a little hesitant, not because I didn’t want to help her, heck I would help her in every way I could. But because I don’t want her lurking around just to feed her curiosity. Her coming into this palace once was enough risk to take but I realized that if I had to be reporting what I found back to her, then she equally needed to be coming here once in a while which was exactly what I didn’t want.After she left, I had sat down and tried to come up with a way to get close enough to the new leaders just to fish something out of them, not necessarily out of them but maybe out of their actions and lifestyles. I was nothing but a maid, the most lowest in rank at that and it would probably be very hard to get myself close enough to them without coming off as a stalker but I vowed to figure it out considering I already promised Natalia that I would.But destiny they say is very unpredictab
STEVE'S POVI have my sole reason as to why I had been ignoring her since day one. I knew Micheal like the back of my hand and the reason why he still had me by his side was the fact that I was skilled and experienced and that was only able to happen because I had no mate to distract me but the moment he realized I have one, he will either try to get her out of the picture or get us all out of it. Women, as he would always say "are not worth our loyalty" So I figured out that for her own sake and mine, it would be better if I just acted like she wasn't there. It hurt, more than I could comprehend sometimes but each time I felt the pain taking over me, urging me to get close to her, I reminded myself right away what could be done to her if he found out and that alone, was enough to motivate me to stay away.The first time I saw her, I was well..astonishingly surprised and even though I had no intention of speaking to her from the beginning, it takes so much willpower to do so. And if
