Kaden "The bones are healing nicely, Alpha Kaden," the doctor said, with a low bow. However, I didn't make any move to acknowledge his words. I could tell he was nervous, but I said nothing. The disinfectant in the room suddenly became more defined than before, and I scrunched up my nose. "You may leave, Doc." A calm voice said, and the door shut close. I didn't even turn to see who the intruder was. I felt nothing at that moment. "Hey man," Brandon said, immediately the doctor left, and he pulled a chair, to sit close to me. Still, not a word left my lips. I forced myself up, and grabbed at my crutches, wading over to the window. I heard his calm footsteps behind me, and it wasn't until he placed his hands on my shoulders, did I react. "For how long are you going to be this way? I can't take care of the pack, alone." He continued, and I shook his hands off. "Oh," a low mumble was all I could let out. "She's...gone, Alpha. I mean, her body wasn't found at the scene. All our sea
CHAPTER 41. ReeneEach time I tried to pull my hands away, the iron cuffs tugged harder, impaling it. I whimpered, as a sharp pain tore through my body at my umpteenth try.Beads of sweat covered my forehead, as the pain doubled. I was in the dungeon once more, awaiting my death. Everywhere was dark, and eerie. In the stillness of the night, the door creaked open, and I forced my head up, to see who the intruder was.I scoffed when I saw who it was, and bowed my head to its original position."Oh oh, poor Amber. I came to pay you a visit." Gabe mocked, pausing right at my front.A sudden fury tore through my body, and the urge to slap that arrogance out of his body mounted so bad. At the end, I heaved a sigh. I wouldn't fall into his trap, nor try to provoke him.I had to keep calm, until Kaden came to rescue me."Where did your guts go? You seem scared," Gabe continued with his nonsensical rants."Why are you here? The Alpha said no one was allowed to visit." I ask
ReeneThe meeting hall was brightly lit, as the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, threw its own light. I stood at the corner, in company of other servants, and Omegas."Do you know what the pack is celebrating?" I leaned close to a maid, who was standing directly beside me, and asked."Pardon? No, I don't." She replied, as if surprised that I had spoken to her. The chatters at that corner suddenly died down. I looked up, to see Vera approaching us. I roamed my eyes over her body. Tonight, she was dressed in a pink and beautiful dress, with a slit at a part of her chest, revealing a bit of her cleavage."Listen up, tonight is very important to the Alpha. Any servant who doesn't satisfy the guests would be beheaded." She said, her voice clipped and sharp. I rolled my eyes, as I stared down at my own padded ragged dress. It was black, and that was compensating enough.I watched, as different guests entered the hall. From a glance, I could tell they were al
ReeneTime flew quickly, and soon, a month passed by. As I was dragged out of the dungeon, I maintained my silence. The silence which I had adopted, ever since I was told about Kaden's death."Are you feeling strong, Amber?" I heard Vera's taunting voice, ask."Lead her to the kitchen. There are many things she has to do." She continued.Still, I said nothing. As the stern looking guards led me to the kitchen, I suddenly felt dizzy. A sour taste crept to the back of my throat, and I suddenly felt the urge to throw up. "Let me go," my voice was weak, and I wasn't sure if they'd hear me."Are you finally talking? I thought the news about the death of your mate, has made you become dumb." Vera drew close, and laughed.I tugged my hand away, from their tight grip. They didn't budge. "Let me go, please." I whimpered."What are you saying? Hurry up!" Vera led the way, her steps hurried. We soon arrived at the kitchen, and the guards let go of me. I fell to
CHAPTER 44. ReeneI struggled to swallow the last piece of dried bread, which Cathy had smuggled in, knowing fully well I wouldn't get anything to eat, after that.It seemed ever since the Alpha discovered I was pregnant, my punishment had doubled. I patted my stomach subconsciously. That was the habit I had adopted, without even knowing until it became a part of me.I did it whenever I was upset, whenever Gabe taunted me, and tried to force himself on me. Or, whenever I was being bullied and punished by Vera.I heaved a sigh, as I stared down, at my chapped skin, which had lost its glow. There were bruises scattered on random spots. There was an unhealed one below my knee, where Vera had pushed me to the floor. My tears flowed fast, and I stared down at my stomach.Every single day, what kept me going, was the fact that another life was being nurtured inside me. I was about to be a mother. Numerous times, when I tried to take my life, I would halt at the very las
CHAPTER 45. KadenThe chair creaked, as I adjusted my position on it. My eyes darted towards Amber, whose eyes were peacefully shut. Relief, adoration, and gladness all in one gushed through me.Goddess knew how I had survived the past few months. It had almost been a year, since we've been apart. Five months was it?The doctor walked in, accompanied by Brandon, and Gaius. They all bowed, and all, except the doctor took a seat.I cleared my throat, and nodded towards the doctor. "Anything found?" I asked, and my heart skipped a beat, when I saw the hesitation on his face."Well, she has a broken rib, which would take quite a while to heal. Her leg bones are fractured, and I'd advise she stays in bed for a week or so." He smiled at me.I didn't reciprocate, my face grim. Fractured bones. The words rang through my mind, and I slammed my hands hard on the armrest. "Those bastards!" I growled."I'm going to surely make them pay." It was a vow. Amber stirred at that moment
CHAPTER 46. Reene "So, what you are saying in essence, is that the Redwood pack is behind the missing girls?" A grim faced Kaden asked me. I nodded slowly in response. I was still receiving treatment, and was in my room. Kaden's Beta was present, and...my mother. I had protested at first, but had relented on the account of Kathy. She hasn't been found, and I only found out about her abduction few hours ago. "Yes, at least, that's what I could gather from my time at Redwood. Alpha Dennison knows something it." I nodded confidently. I was sure of that. Kaden didn't reply, keeping his head bowed instead. However, something else caught my attention. It was Harley, Amber's mother, and my new mum. She had an odd look in her eyes, at the mention of Alpha Dennison. I ignored it. "I'd like some alone time with the Alpha." I said, and with a bow Brandon left the room. "What's it?" Kaden turned and asked me, once the others were out. "There was someone I saw at Redwood. M
CHAPTER 47. ReeneThe absence of warmth, when I touched the bed immediately I woke up, made me sit. I rubbed on my eyes gently, and looked around. Kaden wasn't in the room. I panicked, and just when I was about to scramble off bed, and go in search of him, the door opened.A smiling Kaden walked in, holding a food tray with both hands."Hey sleeping beauty," He said in a singsong tone, and gingerly placed the food tray on the bedside table."Why didn't you wake me?" I questioned, and stretched my limbs as comfortably, as I could. The air in the room suddenly smelt sweeter."You looked so pretty, that I couldn't bear to wake you up." He said in defense. I shook my head, and smiled.I watched as he moved over to the windows, and pulled the curtains apart, letting sunlight into the hitherto dark room.I shut my eyes close to shield my eyes momentarily. "And what did you cook?" I gestured towards the food tray. It was covered with a silver colored platter, and looked be
