Seeing how tense the room was, Rodriguez got upset and decided to speak up. He hated it when anyone spoke ill of his mother."Enough of all of that!" Rodriguez ordered as Ashley rolled her eyes, hissing at his order.He felt belittled and disoriented... they couldn't even listen to him now, and this made him desire the throne more. He became certain that even though they didn't care about him as the son of the late Alpha when he got to become the next Alpha, they would definitely obey him."This is just like a child's play... you can't bring us all here to talk bullshit. Go straight to the point and tell us why you asked us to be here." Matteo struggled to speak without anger visible in his voice.Michael, Ashley, and Albert nodded their heads in confirmation of what Matteo had spoken about, while Logan couldn't help but glare at the mother and son."All you've been saying to us is that the people demand a new alpha... we all have been in this pack, praying and keeping our hopes high
THIRD PERSON POV "What!" Ophelia screamed as she paced around her room. She had just returned from the meeting room.Rodriguez had declared himself Alpha, and there was nothing anyone could do about it."What do you mean by Lucius and Rowena being dead? With his brother?" Ophelia asked Orion.The last time she had seen them was at the meeting with Lord Vlad and Lord Alaric, and it came as a shock to her because they were among the strongest in the coven.So she thought... She just thought that whoever killed them must be really strong.Orion sighed, "Yes, they took one of the dwarfs to attack the Tribrid, so she ripped them apart and burned their bodies," he explained, according to what the raven had told him.Ophelia's eyes widened as she placed her hands on her mouth. "The tribrid? She did that to them?" whispering, her voice shallow as veins popped out of her hands.She knew Lucius was stubborn, but she had no idea he would drag his brother to approach the Tribrid. The Lucius clan
NORA"Doctor, what do you mean? My husband has been lying there unconscious for the past four weeks, and you are not doing anything about it." I said, barging into the doctor's office.He kept on telling me every single day in the past four weeks that Horace would wake up soon, but now that this is the last day of the fourth week, Horace hasn't woken up.That's crazy.Doctor Charlie frowned at me, but I didn't care... all I wanted was Horace. He and he alone, not this damn hospital, this God-forsaken place"His condition is out of our hands... he is responding to treatments, but he isn't waking up, and that's surprising because I've never seen such a situation before," Doctor Charlie explained.Even though he was making sense, in my ears all I wanted to hear was, 'Alright, I will go and wake your husband up.' But he wasn't saying that to me.He is repeating the same thing over and over again, and I am tired of hearing it."His condition is something I have never experienced... most ti
ANGELICAI strolled into Gavner's chamber, upset like never before. I have never been so furious in my life. I thought I had Gavner to herself, and now this happened.Even when I summoned up the courage to confront Nora, I realized she had the upper hand over me.Pushing the door open as I stormed into Gavner's room, I asked, Gavner, why?" Tears streamed down from my eyes.I had no idea where to start to ask him questions... he had already made up his mind on who he wanted.Gavner turned to stare at me. "Angel, what do you want now?" he asked, his voice fierce and authoritative.He looked away from me, making me feel like I was a nobody to him.Gavner, you slept with Nora, he said, walking and stopping in front of me.Gavner raised his head, glaring at me. "Is that what you came to tell me?" He cocked his head.I couldn't believe my ears. I thought he was going to ask for my forgiveness or something like that, but he didn't even care. He didn't give a dam about me.Messing around with
NORASitting by the edge of the bed as I wondered how I could get pregnant, in as much as I was confused about who the father of my child was, I wouldn't lie to myself that I wasn't aware of who the father of my child is.I just needed to be sure because given the condition and situation I find myself in these days, I can't mess up the life of my unborn child because of it.Lowering my head, I stared at my flat belly, still comprehending how possible it was. I haven't fixed my life, and now I carry a living foetus inside me.My life is a hot mess, and I want to bring forth a child to suffer just like I am suffering.Rubbing my baby bump—even though it was still flat—one thing was sure: I have a baby in me. My child.The door creaked open, and looking up, I stared at Doctor Charlie as he walked in. I remembered asking him to run a test just for me to be sure that he was the father of my child.Clenching my jaw, I asked, "How did it go?" I asked, widening my eyes and leaning forward in
HORACEI have no idea how long it has been, but I have been stuck out here on a dark platform.I searched for a way to get back, but all to no avail, as I kept coming back to the same point, like I was moving in a circular path.There was no one to talk to... I was seated here all alone, with no food or water. Most times, it seems like I've run out of air.Throughout my stay, I was tired and devastated, unable to get out. All I wished for was to leave. My instincts kept on telling me that I was on this platform for a reason, and until that reason is fulfilled, I'm not leaving here, and I believed that since I could come here subconsciously, I could leave as well.I wondered what was going on in the outer world and how Nora was coping. My mother"Ahhhh," I groan as I thread a hand through my hair.I couldn't take it anymore... I just couldn't take it.My eyes seemed like they were going to pop out of their sockets as I fell to my knees, ruffling my hair as it became messy. "I've been h
HORACEI lay on the hospital bed as my fingers twitched and my eyebrows furrowed as I slowly fluttered my eyelids.The brightness of the room sent sharp sunlight rays directly into my eyes as I closed it immediately."Oh, goodness, you're finally awake!" I heard Nadia's voice in the background.I tilted my head as I sighted her stand up from the chair she was seated on, rushing out of the room. I felt a stinging pain in my head, which made me dizzy.Struggling, I raised my hand to my head, placing my hands firmly on my head as I touched a bandage. It was firmly wrapped around my head.The beeping sound of the monitor filled my ears as I looked around. I was laying on a hospital bed, having no clue about what was going on."Why am I here?" I asked no one in particular... my voice was coarse.Something bad must have happened for me to be laying here... the worst of all was that I had no idea how long I'd been laying here.I tried to remember at least something important, but my head was
NORAEver since Rodriguez became the Alpha of the pack, I've been ripped off of my title and suffered more mistreatment.The title has nothing to do with me... I've lived in the castle like I held no title.Thoughts are running in and out of my head as I stroll through the hallway. Gavner is nowhere around the pack these days.He had gone to take care of some issues in a rival neighboring pack and won't be back anytime soon, so I have to take care of myself as well as my unborn baby.I wasn't really thinking about Horace that frequently, but I kept my hopes high that he was definitely going to regain consciousness.Moving around the pack these days, I have been very cautious of Rodriguez. He was always using the last incident against me, even when he didn't really know what happened.I was sure he knew something about me... after all, his mother is Ophelia.When I realized that Rodriguez had taken over the throne, I was seriously going to go berserk. I wanted to do something, but Gavne
