Chapter 93Adrianna's POV Amelia kept on sending me threats. It had been one month since she started. She sends it to me constantly, though not every day.She never fails to remind me that she can do whatever she wants to do if I don't leave Frederick. One month had passed yet she hadn't done anything. That just confirmed that she was bluffing from the very beginning.I had stopped thinking about what she was saying weeks ago. I didn't let her get to me. There were times when I just switched off my phone so I wouldn't be able to see her messages.But I had to switch it on sooner or later since I had a job to go to. The school session was almost coming to an end. I was really happy because I could have some moment of rest. Taking the kids to school wasn't an easy thing to do. Throughout the month, Frederick taught me how to drive so it would be easy for me to take the kids to school.It became less stressful when I learned. I wasn't an expert yet, but I could drive through easy roa
Chapter 94Adrianna's POVI tried to move, to run towards the gunmen and save Hayley, but my wolf body felt uncoordinated at first.As I struggled to reach them, I felt a sharp pain in my leg. One of the gunmen had shot me.I helped in pain. My body reacted to the pain. I lay there howling in pain.I looked down and saw that my legs were bleeding profusely; the bullet wound was deep.I knew I had to save my daughter, to get her to safety. “Mummy!!” Hayley screamed, tears falling from her eyes as they carried her away.I tried to get to her by moving again, but I couldn't. My leg couldn't. The pain was too much and my wolf body was weakening.I looked up and saw they were getting away, with Hayley in their arms. I felt anger knowing there was nothing I could do.As the pain increased, I returned to my original form. I lay there naked on the floor, trying to comprehend what had just happened.“Mom!” Jackson called ate.He covered me up with a piece of cloth that was always in the car.I
Chapter 95Frederick's POVI quickly left everything I was doing at work and ran out of the office. I didn't care how many eyes were on me when I left, all I knew was that my family needed me.They needed me at that moment. Hayley was kidnapped. How could that happen? I question myself.I needed to get to Adrianna. She sounded hurt over the phone. I hoped nothing was wrong with her.I quickly made my way to my car and drove to Jackson and Hayley's school. I was about to get there when I saw one of my cars parked by the side of the road.It was the car I gave Adrianna to take the kids to school today. When I saw it, I quickly packed my car and got out.I walked to the front of the car and saw Adrianna and Frederick seated at the front of the car.Adrianna's blood left a trail. I couldn't believe what I was staring at. It looked like she had lost a lot of blood.She was bleeding profusely and she was covered with a cloth that didn't cover all her body. She looked pale. She was crying a
Chapter 96Adrianna's POVI lay on the hospital bed, my body still sore from the gunshot. But I was alive and getting better.Jackson was seated right beside me, his face fixed on mine. He looked so worried, so scared.I reached out to touch his head and tried to reassure him. “Mommy's okay, sweetie,” I said to him. “I'm okay.” He nodded but he still stayed close to me. The look on his eyes showed that he was still trying to process everything that had happened.Frederick wasn't here. I wasn't sure where he was or what he was doing. He left angrily earlier. But I knew he was doing something to find my daughter. He was busy looking for ways to find Hayley.I was so worried about her. What if something had happened to her? What if Amelia had done as she pleased?All these fears piled up in my head.The doctor came in smiling like everything was okay. “You're doing just fine, Adrianna. you're doing great.” He said.I didn't respond to whatever he was saying. My mind was still on Hayley
Chapter 97Adrianna's POVI called Steven the next day while I was in the hospital. I was feeling bothered about the wellbeing of Jackson. I was really worried about him.He must be scared. He wasn't staying with his father. He was staying back at our house with my mom and Steven.“Hey, Adrianna.” He said.“ Hey, Steven. How is Jackson doing?” I asked, trying to sound calm.“He's doing fine.” He replied. “He is still shaken up by what happened yesterday, but he's holding up. We are taking good care of him.”I nodded even if he could not see me. “That's good. Has he said anything…about what happened yesterday?” I asked him.“Not much,” Steven said. “ He just keeps asking when he would see Hayley again. We've tried to reassure him that he'll see her again but he's always moody and talks to no one.”Hearing that Jackson was constantly asking about Hayley and that Steven had to keep giving excuses made my heart hurt. “It must be so hard for him,” I muttered.I was glad that Steven was
Chapter 98Frederick’s POVI stood there and watched tears fall from Adrianna's eyes. My expression softened as I saw her cry.No matter how she messed up, I couldn't stand to see her hurt the way she was. I moved closer to her. I pulled her into my embrace. “Oh, Adrianna, I'm sorry,” I said whispering.“ I didn't mean to make you feel bad. I was just frustrated that I couldn't find her. I was scared for her. I lost my cool, and I lashed out at you. That was wrong and I'm truly sorry.”She hugged me tightly. I felt a little bit relieved that she forgave me.“I know, Frederick. I know that you are scared. I am too. But we need to be there for each other, not argue with each other.” She said to me.I nodded holding her tighter. “You're right. I promise to do better.” I told her.“Everything I'm doing, Adrianna, every move I make, is to find Hayley. But it's really difficult. The are no traces to find her. it's getting almost Impossible.” I explained.She pulled away from me and looked
Chapter 99Adrianna POV“We should get going now.” I heard Frederick say.I quickly took everything I had with me. I had already recovered from the shot. I didn't have much to take back home.Jackson was still home with my mom and Steven. We left the hospital together. Before getting home, we stopped at my house to pick up Jackson. I wanted Jackson to be very close to us. I didn't want anything that would make me lose him as well.We got to my house, it was almost late. “Mom!” I heard Jackson call out to me while running towards me. “Baby,” I said, kneeling to hug him.At that moment, tears rolled down from my eyes. But I quickly rubbed it off so Jackson would see it.Everyone else saw it except him. I didn't want him to worry about me, either. I knew he was scared and that he missed his sister, so I didn't want to add to that.There were a lot of things we hadn't talked about. He saw me turn into a wolf, the gunshot, and his sister being taken away. It must have been hard for him.
Chapter 100Adrianna's POVI stepped out of my car and began scanning the environment. I looked at the abandoned house where Frederick’s Beta was located.I could feel my heart racing. I was filled with a lot of hope. I hoped I would see Hayley. I wanted to see her so bad. I quietly went inside the building. It didn't look like anyone was inside. It was too quiet. Everywhere was kind of quiet.As I entered the warehouse, I began to call out Hayley's name, but there was no response. I began to search everywhere, but there was no sign of my daughter. I began to panic all over again. Where was Hayley? Did something happen to her? Was I late? I asked myself as my breaths became slower.I forced myself to keep moving, to keep searching. I had to find Hayley. I needed to know if she was safe.I went into a room where there seemed to be a light. When I walked in, Hayley was tied up on a chair, her face bending downwards. I rushed over to her and knelt before her. I reached out to touc
Chapter 117Adrianna's POVOur lips get intertwined in an intense kiss. I felt his tongue play with mine. For some reason, now that he proposed to me, the kiss felt more good.Our past kids were all okay, but having a ring around my shoulder made it better.Frederick's arms wrapped tightly around me while he pulled me closer to deepen the kiss.I didn't hesitate to kiss him back with the same intensity he was using on me.We finally broke apart. Frederick was smiling at me while staring. I smiled back at him, feeling nothing but extreme love for him. There was nothing else I could do other than to stare at him.I had been smiling ever since the ring entered my eyes. At that moment, I felt like the luckiest person in the world.Everything was going well for me. I had a family of my own.I was going to marry Frederick. “I'm really happy you said yes, Adrianna. Thank you for making me the happiest alpha in the world.It got to a point where I thought you would say no, but I kept pushing
Chapter 116Adrianna's POV“I didn't think I would see her again. It has been a long time.” He said.“You two seemed pretty cozy over there,” I said, trying to sound casual.Frederick sighed, starting up the engine. “Adrianna, come on.” He said.“Let's just go home,” I told him.I knew that he noticed I wasn't happy about what I saw but he tried to act casual.“Are you guys okay back there?” He asked the kids.“Yeah!” They chorused.“What's wrong with mom?” I heard Jackson ask Frederick.“I have no idea.” He said.“What's wrong, mom?” Hayley asked me.“Nothing, dear. I'm just tired.” I said to her.I knew I said we should go but he should have said something. Instead, he just focused on the road with a neutral expression.He should have known that I would be jealous. Wasn't it obvious? Didn't I make it obvious enough?I decided to remain quiet too. I folded my arms, too, and decided to focus on the road as well.We pulled into the driveway. The kids got out and made their way inside.
Chapter 115Adrianna's POVI watched the ladybird hug Frederick as she owned him. They seemed to know each other from way back.I couldn't help but feel jealous seeing them together. I tried to brush it off, telling myself that being jealous was ridiculous, but it didn't help.I looked away, trying to focus on the kids but my eyes kept going back to them.Her hands were on his waist for too long. She was hugging him tight. I might have been exaggerating, but I felt the hug was too clingy and intimate.Who was this woman? And why was Frederick doing nothing about her? All these questions swirled through my head.I had no idea if Frederick had a friend or not. He never talked about it. All I knew was that he went to work and dealt with his pack problems.I didn't know what was going on there. Frederick reciprocated the hug without any argument. His hands were around her, holding her close with a smile.I watched them, feeling my jealousy increase. I couldn't believe my eyes. Why was Fr
Chapter 114Adrianna's POVWe had arrived back at home. My encounter with my father wasn't what I expected.My father apologized for what he had done to me, and so did my family. I never imagined seeing that day.It didn't take me long to eventually forgive them. No matter what, I still loved them.“Mom! Dad! They're back!” I heard the kids shout as we walked in.Frederick scooped them into a hug. “We're home.”Frederick said, with a smile on his face.“We missed you guys,” they chorused.“We missed you too, baby,” I said to them. no idea what was the reason for going there.“Yeah, we saw her,” Frederick responded when I didn't respond to them.He was always one step ahead of me. He knew when to act when he thought was right. The kids filled us in on how their day went. How they played games and watched movies all day. They filled us up with the movies they watched. Before I left, I prepared lunch for them. All they needed to do was to heat it.The room was filled with chatter and
Chapter 113Adrianna's POVI almost burst into laughter at the sight of my father asking for forgiveness. “You're asking for forgiveness? You? After everything you've done, you're asking me to forgive you?You aren't even capable of apologizing to someone, let alone me. All these are just a trick. A trick to try and manipulate me again, but this time it isn't going to work.”I took another step closer to him.” You do not get to apologize now, not after all these years. You don't get to act like you care about me all of a sudden or you see me as a person.You had decades to make everything right, but you did nothing. All you did was like and manipulate me, Dad.” I said, furiously.“I can't even call you that because you aren't even my real dad.You are not sorry; you're just sorry you were caught. You are only sorry because I found out the truth.If I didn't come here to say all these, you wouldn't think about apologizing to me.” I walked back to my mom. “Can you at least tell me why
Chapter 112Adrianna's POVFrederick and I drove back to my house. He insisted on coming with me.Frederick's proposal had caught me off guard, and I was still trying to process everything.I cared about him deeply, but marriage at a time like this. I wasn't sure I was ready yet.When we got there, I was hit with the memory of me and my father arguing the other day.“Hey, are you okay?” Frederick asked after we got out of the car.I nodded. “yeah, I'm just…it's a lot to take in.”He nodded understandingly. “If you don't want to do this, we can get in the car right now and I'll drive you back home.” He said, looking directly into my eyes.But I shook my head, “No, I need to face this. I need to do this.”I told him.He held my eyes and said to me. “I'm gonna be near you the whole time. Whatever you need, I'll be there.” I took a deep breath and walked into the house. I walked into the living room, and surprisingly everyone was already there.My mom, dad, and Steven were all there.“Ad
Chapter 111Adrianna's POVI sat on Frederick's bed, waiting for him to return from taking the kids to bed. I wanted him to be the first person I would tell about this.I heard the door open, and Frederick's voice as he entered the room. “Hey, what's up? What did you want to talk about that seemed so important?”I sighed, prepared to put out everything I wanted to say, but it was stuck in my mouth,h, unable to come out as much as I wanted it to.“Hey, what's on your mind?” He asked, worried.“When I was with Amelia, she confirmed everything that I thought was right.” I started.Frederick looked confused at first. I knew he wouldn't think about that first because we have been through a lot lately. So, I wasn't expecting him to put the fact that Hayley was kidnapped aside and look for the truth about my parents.“What do you mean? What exactly did she say?” He asked.“She said I wasn't her real sister. My father and mother aren't my parents either. I was suspicious about this from th
Chapter 110Adrianna's POVToday was the day I was to be discharged from the hospital. Frederick was with me there, and he was the one that would take me back home.Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I was discharged from the hospital.I felt really good being out of the hospital. The environment seemed so different.I smiled at Frederick as he helped me into the car. “How are you feeling?” Frederick asked me while we were driving.“I'm okay. Just a bit tired.” I replied, trying not to worry him.He nodded, taking my hand in his. “ We'll be home soon enough. Then we'll get you settled down.”We arrived home, and Frederick helped me out of the car. He was still treating me like I was still injured.He took me inside and settled me on the couch. I settled down on the couch, ready to close my eyes.I heard the sound of feet coming down from the stairs. Suddenly, Hayley and Jackson ran downstairs with bodies full of energy in excitement.“Mommy's home! Mommy's home!” They said in
Chapter 109Adrianna's POV I lay in my bed thinking of possible events that would have occurred if I didn't get in the way. Hayley could have died. I felt shivers in my spine just from thinking about that. I heard a knock on the door. I assumed it was Frederick since he said he would be right back and that he needed to get something.But I was wondering why he knocked when he could have just walked in. “You can come in,” I said, waiting for him to step in.The door opened, and I was surprised, more like shocked, to see Shawn and not Frederick.My smile faltered and I felt a little disappointed that it wasn't Frederick. All the things Shawn had said to me started coming back all over again.“What brings you here?” I asked, trying not to sound too unpleasant.He looks around the room first before looking back at me. “I just wanted to check up on you, and see how you are doing,” he said.I felt uneasy for some reason. Shawn just showed up out of nowhere. How did he even know I was i
