MICHEAL’S POV“She might have run away” I could see him practically wincing as he spoke that phrase.“What on earth do you mean by that? What do you mean by she might have run away?” I jolted out of my chair again, this time even moving away from the table and walking toward him.“I am deeply apologetic your Highness but that is it. I have searched everywhere and asked every person I was supposed to ask but nothing. I was even shown to her room but she wasn't there” He explained, moving away from me with each step I took toward him.“She might just pay a visit to someone outside of the palace” I shrugged not wanting to believe that she had run away.“I thought that too at first but when I asked a supposed head of kitchen maids, she confirmed to me that Natalia, which is their mate’s name had no single friend outside the palace. She was sold into this palace as a slave and has been just that throughout her stay here. She doesn't have a friend. According to the woman” He spoke again. Wi
NATALIA’S POVLeaving Beth behind was not the plan but even I wouldn't have abandoned my mate when I just found him. I could feel her eyes on me as I slipped through the crowd heading for the main entrance leading outside the palace. The whole place was covered with werewolves, some of them wolves from some humans. I even picked the smell of rogues here and there but I did not linger for a long time to find out if at all they were there and not just a product of my own imagination.Not once did I turn back, until I had successfully left the premises and was right in front of the main entrance. I peeked around to make sure no suspicious eyes were on me. Guards were scattered around the entire ground both in and out of the palace but they were more focused on the new topic of discussion rather than monitoring who came in and stepped out of the palace ground.I have gotten rid of the cap cause I have noticed that it brought more attention to me rather than performing the main action I ha
NATALIA’S POVONE WEEK LATER…Life had been well….just low. There was no better word to describe it than that. I could pretty much say I was depressed, I slipped in and out of a lot of time during the day. At one point I was crying and at the other, I was contented with my life. I could also say I was lonely. Leaving alone for a week with no word spoken to anyone would get to my head once in a while I would find myself missing my mates, yearning to see them. Boredom too contributed greatly to my semi depression and most of all the pregnancy hormones. Overall, it wasn't a smooth journey but definitely better than being in the hands of the enemies.Today was the day to which I was going to slip out of my hideout for the first time to get food. I have been punching on the preserved foods and anything that was in the kitchen that hasn't spoiled. The kitchen had been filled with food items by Leo for our one-time date but a lot of the food had spoiled only the dry preserved ones were eat
MICHEAL’S POVDevastated.That is the word that explains how I feel at the moment. I felt nothing but sheer devastation and anger and a lingering fear that I would never be admitted out loud. How was let this vital information all these while I was spying on them?I had the opportunity to ask them about their mate and know everything about her but as blinded as I was by the desire to send them to destruction and lead over the pack, I didn't ask about any other thing but what interest at then. If I asked, they would have gladly told me everything I needed to hear about her and would made my plan even easier. But here I was now, sitting in the luxury I had always craved but not actually pleased with it.Seven fucking days!That was for how long I had been searching for her and nothing. It just appeared to us like she had disappeared into thin air just like that. One moment she was seen the night before our arrival as said by the few people that have seen her and the next she was nowher
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
