JOAN’S POVI froze in place, my eyes widened and staring right at him.“I am sterile, I am sterile” the word kept ringing through my head, repeating and repeating itself numerous times but not at all was it registering in my head.“I am sterile”Does that mean what I thought it mean? Was he insinuating what I thought he was. This must be some sort of joke right? He had to be kidding.But the look on his eyes showed that he was anything but joking. He was damn serious. I shook my head in disbelieve, looking over to the sick mother to see if by chance she would let slip of the fact that they were joking.But she had an even more serious look in her eyes than his. She seemed to be observing me intensively with keen eyes, her hands still holding mine.I couldn’t hold her gaze for long and neither could I hold his so I settled with just lowering my head, suddenly finding the floral design of my dress very interesting.He was not kidding, he was sterile. He couldn’t give birth. He would not
JOREME’S POVRevenge.Anyone that knew me and had ever crossed my lane knew revenge is a very dear priority of mine. Anyone who dared to over crossed their boundaries with me are definitely in for whatever they see cause I never let things slide.It’s been three months now, three fucking mouth since that bitch escape through my fingers and dare to leave the park as a whole. That bitch fooled me, she fooled my guards and even used her own aunt to her advantage and now she was lost in the world far away from my grasp.Of course I was never going to let her go scot free not after finding out she was the daughter of an Alpha I so much despised. I was not going to risk letting her live and one day coming back to bite me on the tail.I will hunt her down and end her. End the lineage which pose as a thread to my position.

JOAN’S POVThree days have past since the queen’s death but there was not even a single improvement in Alpha Rex’s mood. Heck the whole park seemed to be in some sort of silence mood where everyone whispers to each other for fear of disrupting the silence.He refused to even leave the her room. Her corpse was forcefully teared away from his hand and since then he had been quiet. He even refused to attend her funeral no matter how much everyone begged him to.All he does was stand by her window during the entire day and at night he would move to a chair where she normally seat and set himself down until the sun rise again.I never failed to deliver his breakfast, lunch and dinner but anytime I came to drop the next, I was met with untouched ones that I had dropped earlier. The circle kept going, he doesn’t eat, doesn’t speak, doesn’t sleep. He was just existing.I had thought that as the day goes on he would definitely start to adjust but there was no single improvement whatsoever in h
JOAN’S POVMy breathing hitched when his eyes fell on mine. Those lazy looking, glare plastered but full of life nevertheless eyes were now nothing but an empty void. There was no single emotion in them, not even hurt.I would have appreciated if he yelled at me, shouted at me to get out, shrugged me hand of his shoulder, shifted away from me. I would have appreciated anything that is not lifelessness but all I got was an empty stare for a couple of seconds and that was it. He turned back and continued to direct his stare at the rows of plants in the garden.I wanted to just give up and leave, to let him have his moment but as much as I wanted to do that, I couldn’t just ignore the fact that he needed me right now more than anything. More than even he realized, so I stood my ground.I made the bold decision of slipping my hand into his even though I knew he might snap at any second. Heck I would have appreciated that than this cold shoulder treatment. Just anything to assure me he was
JOAN’S POVI had a wide smile plastered on my face as I stroll through the hallway back to my room. This had been the first time I was happy in a long time. I wouldn’t call this happiness though, more like I was just in a good mood.After I had ate the food the head chef had practically forced into me, I sat among them and helped with a few chores here and there not wanting to stay idle. And my friends were beyond occupied with their works to hang out.We chatted with the head chef who have with time became like a mother figure to me. She had seen much of life than I initially insinuated and would always offer her wise advice when needed. She had really helped in cheering me up whenever I would return worrying with Alpha’s untouched food.Night time came before I had realized and soon I was walking with a tray filled with dinner food to the queen’s wing for Alpha Rex as usual. At some point I will have to seize with this and stop wasting food since he doesn’t even glance at it. I had
TYLER’S POV“This is taking ridiculously too long to figure out. I am starting to give up hope that we are going to find anything.” Levi, one of the council member complained for the umpteenth time as we rummaged through the remains of the after attack.“Stop wizzing and don’t be such a child. Wear your council member panties and get on with this. Stop talking and concentrate for you might miss some clue” I barked out order, my eyes completely fixed on the damaged parts in front of me.It was only fair that I was commanding him cause I had replaced Alpha Rex for a while before he get back on his track again. And I knew Levi wouldn’t mind owning up to the fact that among all the council members, he was the only one I had grown to accommodate and I could safely say we are a bit of a friends.Most of the council members are old and have been in that position since the last Alpha that is Alpha Rex father but Levi was younger much like myself and Rex, having to inherit the position from hi
TYLER’S POVI tried to reason through my head why would someone be wanting to access her room at this time if the night but no reason I came up with made sense. I had spend quite sometimes in the kitchen and the night had gradually progressed deeper.No one apart from the guards stationed outside are supposed to be in the wing and the fact that the two guards are currently standing guard outside really made me to conclude that this are intruders. And seeing them forcefully trying to unlock her door is another red flag.The whole wing is engulfed in silence except for the soft mumbling between the two figure and the clattering of small iron, which I guess they were trying to unlock the door with. They would mumble something to each other, look around the hallway and then continue working on the door. I stood just by the corner of the hallway, hidden by the wall and picking my head to watch then. The fact that they carried no source of light with them just showed how they were hell ben
JOAN’S POVI couldn’t begin to imagine what would have happened if Tyler hasn’t showed up. The decision of getting under the bed was a last minute decision and I didn’t know what came over me but I just trusted by gut and jolted down from the bed to under it just in time for the door to be swung open.Placing my palm tightly around my mouth for fear that I might make any sound that would attract them to my exact hiding spot. For a moment I couldn’t make out anything that was happening except for my beating heart.Even though I began to hear their voices, I was to terrified to make sense to whatever they were saying and soon enough there was utter silence and then they began to move through stuffs. I needed not anyone to inform me that they were searching. Searching for me!I closed my eyes and readied myself to be discovered cause I knew sooner or later, they are going to look under the bed. I was forced back in memory to when I was trying to escape Alpha Jerome’s guard. It felt like
*Rex's POV*I stared at the other person who appeared to be a man. He noticed I was curious about who he was and finally spoke up. “you don't remember me do you” He asked. It didn't take too much of thinking to realize who he was. He was the one who attempted to kill me at the Bridge. “So this is the one that really owns the baby. He's quite pathetic for someone with a child ” I said to Gwen.Martin fumed up. “Who are you calling a pathetic person. Do you have a death wish?. Even if you don't, I am finally going to make sure I kill you properly This time” He said and brought out his gun Wich he aimed at me again. I sighed and shook my head in disappointment. “So you're going to take the cowardice way out again. You are really pathetic, no doubt about that” I said mockingly. Martin paused for a while pondering on what to say. Gwen noticed what was going on and tried to stop him. “What are you doing Martin. Shoot him now and end this finally ” She said. Martin took a deep breath and
*Beta Ryder's POV*I have gotten the answer I've been searching for. There was finally enough evidence I could use this to get Joan out of prison. “Why did you get your hands on such dirty deeds when you also had your own child” i asked Collins who didn't say anything in return. I sighed and brought out my phone to stop recording the conversation. “What is your own aim trying to help your old lover. You must be after something too” Collins suddenly asked. I was shocked to see he knows about I and Joan too. He must know me from somewhere.He smirked when he saw the look on my face. “ You're shocked I know about that. You must not really remember who I am..” he said and chuckled. I could now remember who he was. Gwen and I had visited him long ago when we were still working together. “I don't care what you have to say now. I finally have what I've been searching for. There's nothing else to worry about anymore” I said and turned to leave. Collins quickly stopped me. “Where is my da
*Gwen's POV*I had returned back home from the inn and was heading to my room to grab a few things. Everything seemed to be finally over now and Everyone that could get in my way was out of the picture. Rex's mother won't pose a threath anymore as she'll only shed endless tears on her son's death. I reached my doorstep to see the door was slightly left open. “Huh, did I forget to shut this before leaving..” I thought to myself. I ignored it and pushed the door open. The sight I saw next made move back in shock. Rex was standing and holding something that I hadn't identified yet. “what is. Going on, am I seeing a ghost or just hallucinating?” I asked myself. Rex turned to me and I could see despise on his face. It was now I realized what he was holding. He had unfortunately found the File which had the real DNA test results. “Rex..are you okay” I asked softly. He turned to me and still wasn't saying anything. My whole body was quivering in fear as he moved closer to me. He threw t
*Gwen's POV*I was in a inn with my secret lover, Martin. after taking an excuse that I had some things to sought out, I had left my bay with Rex's mother. We had fun and was relaxing on the bed. “will things go on like this forever. You And I deserve to be with each other officially ” Martin stated. I rose up and stared at him. I asked him what he means. “Rex Is clearly in our way. We need to get rid of him first and then I can claim my rightful place by your side” He stated. He was right, Rex wasn't even the real father of our baby and if I let things stay like that forever, he might find out someday. But I was scared. After everything I've done. I am scared to harm another person. “I don't know if it's a good idea. He isn't one to go down easily. I've heard of how he defeated Alpha Jerome with ease. He's too strong to defy” I stated. “Do not worry about that. I will personally take care of Rex myself. With your approval ” Martin stated. I saw it as a good opportunity to finall
*Eleanor's POV*Beta Ryder had suddenly showed up again but this time, He came with a child. It was a little girl and it made no sense she was here with him. He seemed pretty determined to find an evidence but now, he's with a child. I turned to the little girl to ask who she was. “ I'm Nia, This Mister abducted me..Those are the answers to the questions you wanted to ask aren't they?” She asked. I Petrified by her boldness and the fact she said she was abducted scared me more.“Why did you abduct a girl and decided to bring her here. Do you want to get me in more troubles again!?” I yelled angrily. Ryder was scared to see me angry. He tried calming me down saying everything was going to be okay. “I went to the address you gave me and it turns out The person that sold the cake to Gwen is her father. Left with no choice, I had to abduct her. He has agreed to meet and I'll return the girl once we get what we're searching for” He said. I Finally calmed down. A way to avenge my friend
*Collins's POV*My heart almost flew out through my mouth when I heard my little girl's voice on the phone. It dawned on me when I realized that she had been abducted. “What I this, what do you think you're doing. Why did you abduct my daughter you Psychopath!” i Yelled angrily. “You left me with no choice Collins. We'll meet and you'll tell me everything I want to know or else..you know what will happen. And do not bother trying to contact the police, you'll regret doing so” The man stated. I was so frustrated with the way he was been so commanding. “ I'll give you Two hours to return my daughter. If you don't, I'll unleash hell on your feeble soul” I yelled angrily. He had already ended the call and I was just talking to myself the whole time. I threw the phone away angrily. “What does he want. Who in the world is this lowlife daring to disturb my peace!” I said angrily. “was he here to find out something about one of the people I've once worked for!?” I asked myself. It was the
*Beta Ryder's POV*I left back for my inn. The paper given to me by the maid had the name of a shop written on it. I wasn't sure it would be easy finding the shop but was sure I will after asking around. The shop was located a little far from the main town. I set out the next morning to find the shop. After driving to the address on the paper, I Reached there and the shop was no longer there. I already expected that too. That was why I knew this was going to be hardInstead of a cake shop, there was a different type of shop now. It was now a pawn shop. I decided to walk into the shop and ask the owner some few questions. Entering the shop, the first room was empty but there was another door. I walked to it and knocked. Footsteps approached the door and it finally swung open. “Come in. a man, that looked much older than me said ” I took a deep breath and walked in.He offered me a seat and I sat down. “So, how much are you loaning ” He asked as he brought out some papers for me to fi
Over 9 months had passed and Beta Ryder was still yet to find a way to get Joan out. He visited her frequently to make her feel reassured. *Beta Ryder's POV*It's been so long since I infiltrated Rex's house. I was never able to meet the maid again. She told me there was a way to find a tangible evidence but I couldn't get it from her before the guards drove me away. The security at his house was thightened after that time and it was almost impossible to get In. But still, I found my way In without been noticed. I came in as a delivery man and thankfully, they fell for it. I searched around for the maid but no one realized who I was talking about. After a long search, I asked one of the staffs about the night the house was infiltrated by a man and she told me the maid was fired that same night. For months, I have been waiting for a Moment to meet someone who wasn't where I thought they were!. I asked if she knows her whereabouts but she told me she doesn't know much anymore. I wa
