CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEENEDWINIt's been two days now, and there was no news from the rogue. He was supposed to bring more information about the red breeder pack. I didn't care about Oma or whatever her name was. I wondered why Constance was so concerned about that particular maid. She never cared about anyone else except herself. Same Constance, who killed her family in cold blood. I finished my breakfast and left the room. I didn't want Constance to keep nagging me. "Where are you going?" She asked when I was about to leave the room. "I'd be in the garden for some air," I replied and walked away before she would say anything else. I walked into the garden and began to pace the place. My mind wandered. I needed the rogue for this operation to be a complete success. I noticed one of the guards walking towards me. I groaned inwardly, with the thoughts that he was coming to tell me about Oma. He bowed in front of me, and I raised my brow at him impatiently. "Alpha Edwin,
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN ELARAI gradually opened my eyes, and the first person I saw was River. He pulled me into a tight hug, and I leaned in to enjoy the hug for a while before pushing him away gently. I could still feel slight pains all over my body. My vision wasn't so clear, and my head ached badly. "Thank goodness, you are awake, Elara," he said, staring at me with so much worry in his eyes. "For how long have I been unconscious? Where am I?" I asked in sudden realization, as my heart began to beat very fast. I looked around the hospital, and it seemed so familiar. It wasn't familiar from my past life but from my present. "Where am I?" I whispered as I stared deep into River's eyes. "Calm down, Elara," he told me. "I am in the red breeder pack, right?" I asked him. He nodded slowly, and I slapped my head, feeling frustrated. "Why did you have to bring me here?" I asked him. "Where else should I have taken you?" He questioned. I hissed and bit my lower lip, as
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEENELARAElla stared at me in shock. She didn't expect that I would tell her to her face about her pretense. Anyway, I did. "The other day at the mall, Elara," she continued speaking. I groaned loudly and leaned backward. I shook my head after resting my back. Ella would have left immediately when I told her she was fake. I was shocked that she didn't think I expected her to leave. "What were you doing there dressed like a servant?" She asked me. "You probably left to attend to something and couldn't say hi to mom and me."I knew she saw me, so I wasn't shocked. I stayed mute. I didn't respond to her. I just stared at her blankly without uttering a word. "Where did you go? I mean. I'm sure it's not too far from here. That is why you could come back all the way here just to get something from a mall."She paused for a while. "They don't have malls around there?" She gasped. "Oops! You all must be going through hell there.""Ella, please leave," I plead
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN ELARA"You just disappear from the pack like that whenever you wish? And come back whenever you feel like it!"Edwin had been scolding me for almost an hour now. Lucy had hugged me when I returned, the happiness in her voice, and on her face was evident. Constance also didn't hide her relief when she saw me. I thought it would be lighter with Edwin because I thought I knew my ex-husband. The way he boiled in rage right now and his blazing eyes. He could burn me up in them. "Do you think this is some charity organization that pays you for playing around?" He asked. "Everyone was worried sick."I knew he was neither worried nor concerned about me. He was only angry because of his selfish reasons. How would he pay a maid who isn't always on duty?"You should be very careful. You are even lucky the position is still vacant. I would have kicked you out of this place like a football.""I'm so sorry," I went on my knees and began to shed crocodile tears
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN ELARAI was washing plates in the kitchen later that day when a maid walked in. I remembered Kiara quickly from my past life. She was Edwin's maid while I was here. I haven't seen Kiara since I started working here. I guessed that she was on leave all this while.There were a few other maids in the kitchen sorting vegetables and washing them. Kiara stared at me for a while and turned to the other maids. She had a mocking smile on her face as she turned to face them."What did Edwin employ this time?" She asked them. The maids giggled, and she kept the smile on. She shook her head before turning to face me. She stared at me from my head, down to my toe, and up to my head again."What's your name?" She asked me. "Oma," I replied calmly. I didn't spare her a glance. I just focused on the plate I was washing. But I could see her clearly and all her reactions. "Nice name," she teased me. I could hear the mocking in her voice, but I ignored her. "Tha
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEENEDWINI was surprised to see Oma bending over there. I stared at her in shock, and she quickly stood up. "Alpha Edwin," she bowed in front of me. "What are you doing here?" I asked her. "I came to clean," she replied calmly. I stared at her from head to toe. Her feet shook, but I couldn't tell if her hands did the same, as she hid them behind her back. "Get lost!" I commanded.She picked up her cleaning tools, and I shifted to a corner. She ran out of the office.I walked in after she left. I wondered if she was truly cleaning or doing something else. She acted suspiciously, I must confess. I shoved it aside and went to sit at my desk. It was then I noticed the drawer she was standing close to. It was slightly open. I quickly walked towards it and bent over. I pulled out the drawer and checked through it.There was a picture of Annalise's parents' car accident there. It was the same accident I had caused, and I asked for the pictures to be sent
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTYELARAI sighed deeply immediately when I got out of Edwin's office. I was lucky that he didn't catch me. I thought he did and that I was done for. The way he stared at me when he spoke to me. I was sure that he was suspicious of me. Thankfully, he decided to let it go. I walked back to my room and sat on the bed. I couldn't stop wondering who sent the text and how he or she knew so much. Whoever the person was, he or she lived in the pack. Else, how did they know about the information in Edwin's drawer?I hissed, frustrated as I lay in bed facing the ceiling. I was about to sleep when I heard a loud knock on the door. I stood up and walked towards the door. "You are needed in the kitchen," the maid standing outside my door informed me. "I have heard you," I replied. She stared at me for a while. "I'd be behind you," I told her. I knew she was waiting for me to step out so we could leave the house together. But I had no plans of going to the kitch
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE CONSTANCE "It's a little bit salty," Edwin said. He was talking about the macaroni we were having for breakfast. I nodded in agreement. The food tasted a little salty. But, it was still okay. "They added a new spice," I told Edwin. "Can you taste it?"He shook his head slightly, and I smiled. Of course, not everyone would easily taste a new spice in a food. "Something like a dry medical spice," I said. He put a spoonful in his mouth and began to chew it slowly, using his tongue to taste every part of the food. "I think I can taste it now," he agreed with me. "The food is Al little salty. Maybe that's what distracted me from all other tastes. "I nodded. Edwin picked up the serviette and wiped his mouth with it. I stared at his plate. He was unable to eat half of the food. "Are you done?" I asked him. "Yes," he responded. "I have a few things to handle at the office right now. "I lifted my head and lowered it very slowly. I didn't like that
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE RIVER I walked behind the soldiers with Elara in my arms. She had a glowing smile all over her face. I was smiling, too, because I was proud of Elara. She carried out her plans within a very short while, and it was successful. Constance and Edwin were moved to the pack field where they would be stoned to death. "Do you want to watch them die?" I asked her. She shook her head. "I'll only watch them get burnt," she replied. "At least, I wouldn't have to hear them screaming and calling me to forgive." I nodded in agreement with what Elara had said. "Where's Harrison?" She asked me. I turned to her. I wondered why she asked me about Harrison. "He told me what happened," she said to me. "Why didn't you let him explain?" "He stole from the pack," I informed her. "What is there to explain?" Elara slapped her forehead. "I was secretly replacing it from here," she whispered. My eyes widened. "I bet he didn't tell you t
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR CONSTANCEI was shocked about the fact that Oma called me sister, but of course, that wasn't the main issue. I shoved it aside and hurried to meet Edwin, who was still seated in his chair. "What happened here?" I asked him. He stared at me for a while. He was rolling his eyes continuously. I suspected that he was going to lose consciousness if nothing was done. I walked over to him and placed my hand around his head."Why did she call me sister? What is going on?" Edwin began to narrate his conversation with Oma to me. He told me how she was Annalise and that was why she called me sister. I scoffed. "You and I know that this is impossible, right?" I asked him. "We killed Annalise. There's no way she would be alive."Edwin was about to speak again when he finally lost consciousness. I rushed outside and called the guards to carry him to the room. I placed a wet towel on his forehead and massaged his feet until he was finally well. "Where is O
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREEELARAIt's been up to two days since the plan. I decided to begin the execution. I walked towards the court lady. She was standing in the garden and giving out instructions to the gardeners. "Greetings to you," I greeted her. She turned around and pushed her nose when she saw me. I was aware of the fact that she disliked me. A lot of maids seemed not to like me. They had this unexplainable hatred for me. "What do you want?" She demanded. "I need to get something from the closest supermarket, " I informed her. She looked at me from my head to my toe and up to my heart again. "You can go," she replied grudgingly. "Thank you," I appreciated and walked away from her. I walked towards the gate, and everyone seemed to be keeping tabs on me. I knew I needed to act as fast as I could. I didn't want to get blown up before I even knew it. I walked out of the gate and took a cab to a pharmacy far from the pack house. I looked around the place, ma
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY ONE RED BREEDER PACK ELLA"You have to force yourself and eat something," I told River. "Punishing yourself like this would not work."He didn't respond. He just kept staring into space. I didn't see Harrison this morning, and it seemed like River was worried about scenting. I shoved it aside. He was probably worried about the pack. The maids had come to report to me earlier that River had refused to eat, so I came all the way to force him. Although, I already had plans to check on my elder brother and know how he was doing. My phone began to vibrate. I dipped my hand in my pocket and brought out my phone. It was the guard I sent after Elara. I turned to River, who was still staring into space. He didn't seem to notice that I got a call, so I was relieved."I will be right back," I told River. I stood up and walked away from the room. I stood in the hallway and picked up the call. "Anything new?" I asked the guy. "Elara has a mission in this pa
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTYELARA After all the talking and hugging and all. It was finally time for Lucy and I to dress the bed and get some rest.I pulled out the blanket, and a note fell off the bed. I immediately bent down to pick up the note, and an envelope was with it. I was a little surprised. I turned to Lucy, and she raised and lifted her hands in a questioning manner. I picked up the envelope and note and placed the note on the bed first. I opened the envelope. It was a picture of Edwin and Constance pushing me into the river.I scoffed. How did this picture get here? It was a picture of when I was murdered as Annalise, and whoever took this picture and placed it on this bed today knows my true identity.Lucy moved closer to me, and I handed the picture over to her. She breathed in heavily and took it from me. She gasped when she saw the content. I picked up the paper on the bed and decided to see for myself what was written in the note. I opened it up, and my han
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINEEDWIN I let out a smirk after the maid walked out of my office. There was something fishy about her, and she was foolish to think that I wouldn't know. Maybe I appeared dumb to her. An alpha of a whole pack. "You can leave," I waved off my servants, and they all walked away from my office. I placed both legs on my table and leaned backward with my finger on my chin. "That stupid little rat would think that she outsmarted me."I scoffed. I knew she was hiding something. She was only using her mom's illness as an excuse to perpetrate evil, and I would expose her soon. Whatever she was planning, although I didn't know it yet I was sure that she was up to some mischief. I would kill her very soon. I'd do that before she accomplishes whatever her mission was in this pack. The door opened, and Clinton walked in with a smile all over his face. "We were victorious this time," he announced excitedly. My eyes went wide in shock. "How do you mean?"
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHTRIVERIt wasn't long after Elara walked out of the room, and Ella walked in. "You are awake!" She exclaimed and gasped. She rushed to me and hugged me tightly. She stayed with me for a while before pulling away from the hug. "I'll get the doctor," she told me. "The nurse already came to check on me," I stopped her. She sighed and sat on the chair in front of me. "How are you feeling right now?" She asked me.I nodded. "I feel better."She smiled. Ella held my hands and stared at me for a while. I haven't been like that with her in a while now. I wasn't too close with Ella. I missed her when she was away, and I only got to love her from afar. We never really showed or told each other how much we loved each other. But I knew deep down that the love was there. I was also aware of the fact that Ella loved me too and that she always meant well to me. She suddenly paused and sniffed. She looked around the room and continued to sniff in. "Are y
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVENELARABefore I could say or do anything, the guards dragged me and began pulling me away. My heart skipped, but I tried to stay calm. I didn't want to show any signs of weakness or panic, or else they'd say I did something wrong. I had to play smart and pretend to be innocent. "What have I done?" I asked them. "Why are you seizing me, and where are you taking me?"None of them gave me any replies. They kept pulling me forcefully. I noticed that we were headed towards Edwin's office. My heartbeat increased, but I tried to control it. I didn't want to be overly nervous. "I didn't do anything wrong, let me go."They formed deaf ears to everything I said. I struggled with them for a while and stopped struggling when I realized that I wouldn't be able to free myself from their grip. They carried me into Edwin's office and released me once I was standing in front of him. I quickly began to rehearse in my heart, what I would say to Edwin. "Where ar
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIX ELARAI watched River as he slowly opened his eyes. I gasped for joy and hugged him. I wrapped my arm around his neck. He quickly grabbed my hands and pulled me off gently. "I'm so sorry," I apologized. "I was just too excited that you are awake."My heart beat fast for joy. I couldn't explain the excitement I felt about the fact that River was awake. "I'm so happy that you're awake!" I told him. "I can not die easily," River told me with a smile. "It would take a lifetime to kill me."I smiled. I stood up to my feet and wiped my knees. "I would get the doctor to check on you," I told River. I didn't wait for him to respond or react, I just began to run towards the door. I stopped abruptly when I got to the door and turned around. I shouldn't let anyone know that I was here. Not even the doctors of the red breeder pack. I turned to River, and he gave me the "see?" Look. I smiled. I didn't think about that earlier. I was completely carried a
