CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINEELARA My jaw dropped, and my eyes went wide open. I turned to River, who also stared at me in utter shock.None of us said a word to each other. The room was dead silent for a few seconds before Ella broke the silence. "Are you coming to see for yourself or not?" Ella asked us. My heart sank into my stomach as River and I stood up to our feet. We followed Ella to Lisa's room. My feet grew cold, and I could barely walk without dragging my feet. When we entered Lisa's room, River held my hand tightly and began to squeeze my fingers. Carla and Adonis were already in Lisa's room when we walked into the room. She wore a pityy face, but I still knew that she was pretending. River and I stood at the corner of the room watching the doctor check Lisa. He soon faced us, and we stared at him expectantly. My heart was beating very fast, and I hoped that it wasn't true. I felt as though I was going to explode. "Lisa is truly pregnant," the doctor informed us. River tig
CHAPTER NINETY RIVERI sank into my chair immediately when I got to my office. I buried myself in my thoughts. It was still a shock to me that Lisa was pregnant. It was difficult for me to believe. I would have just denied the pregnancy, but there was no way I could. Lisa and I were intimate, and it wasn't completely impossible that she got pregnant after the sex. It was my child, after all. I wouldn't just kick my child away. Although I was conflicted, I still knew that I would never let go of Elara just because Lisa was carrying my child. I knew it would be very difficult, and it was giving me even more reason to worry. I saw the look on Elara's face when Ella broke the news to us. The look on her face when the doctor confirmed the news was even worse. Even though Elara tried to hide her pain, I still saw it. Before leaving the room, the sadness in her eyes was something else. It was hard for me, but there was nothing that I could do about it at this moment.I heard a knock on
CHAPTER NINETY ONERIVERI fought swiftly. My soldiers too wouldn't back down. They didn't let the rogues get at me. We kept fighting until they began to retreat. My soldiers had already surrounded them. Although a few were able to escape, we were still able to capture the majority. We tied up their hands and packed them into our van. Harrison and I were driven in another car back to the pack house, while the rest of the soldiers went with the van and a supporting vehicle. When we got back to the pack. I asked that the rogues be lined up in circles in the main field, and in no time, my request was met. Harrison and I strolled around the rogues as they sat in circles around the open field. "Who sent you?" I asked them. They were all quiet. I knew they had a new leader who must have organized and planned this coup. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to attack us with so much accuracy and brilliance."I will ask you for the last time, and if I don't get a response," I threatened and p
CHAPTER NINETY-TWOELARA"I need a DNA test result to be carried out on Lisa right away. I hope to get the result of the test as soon as possible. "The doctor breathed out heavily after I finished dishing out my instructions. "A DNA test can only be conducted after some weeks into the pregnancy. Give it time, Elara. We will conduct the test when the pregnancy is Mature enough."I bit my lip and nodded my head."It's fine," I said. "Just let me know when it would be possible."I hung up and relaxed in bed as I bit my lower finger. I tried to convince myself that in as much as Lisa could get pregnant on her first night with River. It was also possible that the child didn't belong to River. I decided not to bother my head too much about Lisa and her baby until the DNA was done. I stood up and walked into the bathroom, so I could dress up and go for a walk. After bathing, I walked out of the bathroom to hear my phone ringing. I picked up the phone from the table and saw Lucy's name di
CHAPTER NINETY-THREERIVERElara and I were having breakfast together. We were eating happily, talking, and laughing out loudly. A knock was heard on the door, and Elara walked towards the door and opened it. I paused eating and began to stare at Elara intensely. She spoke in whispers for a while before she returned to the room. "The doctor is here and wants to see us," she told me. "Did he say the reason he wanted to see us?" I asked her. "Nothing was said.""And, you didn't ask to see him or book an appointment with him?" I asked Elara. She sighed deeply and shook her head. I hope that all is well. Why would the doctor want to see us suddenly?I covered the rest of the food, and the both of us walked out of the room together. We got to the throne room and met the doctor seated on the couch over a glass of drink. He stood up and shook hands with River. We exchanged pleasantries shortly before taking our seats. I didn't know what the doctor had to say, but I had an idea that it
CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR LISAI stood in front of the mirror, admiring myself and making faces. I would be the Luna soon. It wouldn't take so long before River saw that Elara was useless in this packed house and in his life. I let out a chuckle and continued to turn around, checking myself out. I heard a soft knock on the door and walked towards the door, dragging my feet. I hissed when I saw the guard standing outside the door."Why are you here?" I demanded harshly. "Alpha River has asked to speak to you in the throne room right away."My heart sank for a second, and a smile played out on my lips. River would always shove me aside whenever I asked to speak to him. Now, he was inviting me over without even thinking about it. I walked out of my room. I was well dressed in a short fitted flair gown. I met Ella in the hallway. "Where are you heading, Lisa?" She inquired. I turned to her with a smile. "River asked to speak to me," I said. "Maybe he finally wants to talk about the chil
CHAPTER NINETY-FIVEELARA River and I walked back to our rooms. We were both relieved that the child wasn't River's child. I was even more relieved about the fact that Lisa would leave the pack house. All along, I was worried that once I left, the two would be alone. River would have to care for Lisa because she was carrying his child, and it would make it easy for her to steal River before I returned.The news was a little relief to me. River and I played together that night after our dinner. We slept together, hugging each other as we slept. River didn't stop reminding me about how much he loved me. We soon fell asleep and woke up the next morning.River wasn't in the room when I woke up, so I quickly freshened up and hurried downstairs. Lisa was already leaving. Her parents already sent a few guards from her pack to come over and get her. She followed behind them slowly as they led the way to their car. Ella was clinging to her mom with a teary look. "Mom, please, don't let h
CHAPTER NINETY-SIX ELARA I stood in the hall where a few other maids were also present. The room was a little crowded. It was noisy as well. There were whispers and chattering and also laughing all over the room. The maids were obviously anxious, nervous, and a little excited about the screening. My face was buried to the floor. I didn't speak to any of the maids, and none of them tried to get friendly with me either. I saw a glass shoe step into the hall and slowly lifted my eyes to the shiny black gown that was adorned with glittering silver. As I lifted my head slowly to meet the face of whoever it was, our eyes locked, and I immediately swallowed hard. "Constance," I called, in a whisper as I folded my fist into a blow. Anger began to swirl inside me. Behold the sight of the woman who destroyed my whole family and killed me. I widened my palm and tried to keep a straight face. I didn't want to get caught. "I thought Lucy informed me that the maids who applied were up to s
