Beatrice's POVUpon reaching my house, I was very hesitant if I could allow Leo to stay with us for the mean time. Since, he has no house and as a respect of gratitude for helping us, I should be helping him and welcome him to my house."Please, feel at home, Leo." I told him.He nodded his head and he wander around my house. I just watch his every move. I don't want to risk it but the kids were comfortable enough after that long tiring escape in the blood pack."Mama, I think, Uncle Leo is our savior," Cazz uttered while looking at Leo.I looked at her. "Really? Maybe, he was. Are you comfortable with him?" I asked.Cazz nodded her head. "Yeah. I am comfortable with him. I don't if Laz is comfortable with him though, he went to his room already."I ruffled her hair. "I'll make some food, go to your room first and you better rest alright?" I said to her."Alright, Mama." she replied and run towards her room.I glance at Leo again but this time, he was looking at the photo frame hangin
Beatrice felt a knot of anxiety tighten in the bottom of her stomach as she willingly decided to ask Leo's buddy for assistance in developing her twins' hidden skills. Though she hadn't anticipated the journey to take her down such a stormy route, she had hoped for a solution—a means to assist her kids in controlling their skills.Beatrice experienced a wave of mixed emotions as Leo revealed that his friend was none other than Lucas. She now had the secret of revealing her children's potential in Lucas, the guy from her past who had broken her heart into a million pieces. To complicate the situation, Leo was heading to Lucas's engagement celebration."L-Lucas?" she muttered. "The Alpha?" she questioned with so much anticipation.She swallowed hard when Leo nodded his head as a response."Yes. It was him. He's the one who could help the twins," he announced with a smile in his lips.Leo then noticed something wrong with her. He noticed that she become distant when he said those words,
As Leo, Beatrice, and the twins arrived at the engagement party, a heavy weight landed in her chest, weighing her down with uneasiness and dread. The air was charged with excitement and anticipation, but for Beatrice, it was unjust, reminding her of bitter memories she had long tried to forget.With a fake smile on her lips, Beatrice led the twins through the crowd, her heart pounding in her chest with every step. She couldn't escape the feeling of being an outsider in this world of pack affairs and old connections, which she had previously belonged to but now felt completely estranged from.Leo excused himself from Beatrice's company, saying he had some business to attend to. He didn't elaborate on the details of his leave, but his tone suggested a sense of urgency, as if he had an essential duty to complete.She understands Leo, so he lets him. Beatrice felt a stab of disappointment as she saw Leo escape into the crowd. She had hoped for his help and companionship in dealing the com
Lucas looked at Beatrice, and even though she had changed her identity and appearance, he felt a wave of recognition wash over him.Even though Leo had assisted her in hiding behind inquisitive viewers, there was something in the depths of her stare that made him feel a familiar sorrow.Memories of their previous talks with Leo filled his head, their conversations about Beatrice and the twins echoing in his mind, and his heart skipped a beat. His heart ached with confusion as he tried to make sense of the woman at the sight of him as well as the memories he had of her.Even if time and distance had weakened the connection they have, it was still there—a string that would not entirely break.And although Lucas struggled to deal with the mixed emotions he was experiencing, he realized he wanted explanations, needed to know why Beatrice had returned to his life after all these years.Despite the confusion and uncertainty, Lucas feels a spark of determination that motivates him to uncover
As Beatrice went through the royal corridors, her mind was flooded with thoughts about the events that were taking happened all around her. She was lost in mindfulness when she heard familiar voices ahead. Looking around the corner, she noticed two people approaching, their faces twisted into mocking grins."Oh, here's the unscented wolf," The two chuckled. "She's back again and thought she'll seduce the Alpha again but she can't already..." They laughed again.She braced herself, creased her forehead with so much irritation. She stared at them coldly."You didn't change after all," she spat. "You're still a gossiper, huh!" she bravely uttered.One of them raised a brow. "Woah! Brave now are you?"The other one pushed her in the chest. Little they didn't know, Alpha Lucas is hiding not far from them but he won't interrupt them. He wants to see how brave Beatrice is even without his help.Beatrice was pushed and she was stepping backward."Now, you are brave? Let see how brave you are!
Before Beatrice walked away, Lucas held her wrist and they suddenly disappeared. As Beatrice and Lucas stood in the palace's quiet garden, surrounded by beautiful plants and scented blooms, an anxious silent remained between them.Lucas's eyes bore into Beatrice with a mix of interest and distrust, while Beatrice straightened her shoulders, bracing herself for the inevitable clash."Why are you here, Beatrice?" Lucas asked, his voice low and tinged with a hint of accusation. "Why have you appeared before me again, after all this time?"Beatrice smirked. "Don't be delusional, Lucas. I am not here for you. I just attended your engagement and I don't have any other intentions." She replied to him, firmly.His eyes squinted."Really?" his voice sounded something interesting.Beatrice met Lucas's gaze head-on, her expression resolute despite the turmoil churning inside her. "I'm not here for you, Lucas," she replied firmly, her voice steady. "I have my own reasons for being here, reasons t
Beatrice was quietly walking through the town because she was looking for fabrics to use to make dresses when she was suddenly surrounded by royal guards.Messing around, he was nervous but his brow furrowed when he was pushed by a royal guard and when he saw the women he fought with yesterday coming with a smile on their lips."What are you doing? Why are you arresting me?" She demanded an answer."Because you stole the precious thing belonging to princess Samara!" Her ex-companion replied.The people gasps with disbelief."Oh, you stole her belongings in the palace! Guards! Seize her and bring her into the palace," the girl said.The guards pushed her on the ground. She crumpled her fists and she was struggling when they started to cuffed her. She was being dragged into the palace. She was sweating and panting.Her expressions darken when she looked at her wrist full of blood now because the cuff they used to her has thorns. She could feel the pain but it won't hindrance her to defe
Beatrice sat in her house, what happened of the previous day still fresh in her thoughts. She played with her twins, putting on a brave face for them, despite the fact that her heart ached from everything that had happened.She couldn't stop herself from telling them what had happened, hoping to protect them from the awful facts of the world for just a moment. As she nourished her twins, Beatrice couldn't help but appreciate Leo's quick response. She truly thanked him for his assistance, knowing that she owed him a debt of appreciation that could never be paid in full return.Leo had already treated her wounds, his expert hands working skillfully to treat her external conditions. But the mental wounds remained deeper, and Beatrice knew they would take much longer to heal.Her thoughts were interrupted by Lucas' abrupt entrance at her door, his expression ashamed and sorrowful. He sincerely apologized for what had happened and expressed his regret for inflicting her suffering. Beatrice
