WHITNEY'S POV Alpha Vicker and I hugged each other for some seconds before he disengaged from me. He looked into my eyes and said, "For my sake, please, forgive Sophia for all that she did to you." I was quiet for some seconds as I stared at him. His sapphire blue eyes seemingly held me spellbound. "I forgive her," I said in a whisper. "Thank you," he said with a warm smile. "Your stomach is getting bigger. I don't think it's good for you to be doing any strenuous work at this stage. I don't want you to work anymore," he said. "Okay, but let me work for the last time today. After today, I won't work till after I give birth to my child," I said. He was silent for a moment as he gazed at me. "Alright, if that is what you want. However, I must say that after today, you will not work as a maid for me and even after you have given birth to your child," he said. I was surprised and wondered what he meant by that. "I don't understand what you mean," I said. "What I just
WHITNEY'S POV When I got downstairs, I saw Vera standing with her back to me and she was dusting the furniture while Felicia was mopping the kitchen. "Good morning, Vera," I greeted. Vera turned around and her face lit up. "Good morning, Whitney," she responded with a smile. "You came late to work today," she said with feigned anger. "I'm sorry. It was because I was having an altercation with Sophia and she later started a squabble with Alpha Vicker," I said. "If I may ask, what caused your altercation with Sophia?" I didn't want to tell her that it was because of my pregnancy. "It was nothing serious. You should know that Sophia would always quarrel about trivial things," I said. "Yeah, I know. That girl is just too bad-mannered for my liking. To be honest with you, I have never met anyone with such terrible manners and I strongly doubt if she will ever change," Vera said with a tone of anger. "I also don't think she will change. After all, a leopard never changes its s
WHITNEY'S POV A month after Alpha Vicker broke up with Sophia, I was now seven months pregnant. My stomach was bigger and I had added weight. Alpha Vicker stopped me from doing any chores in the house including cleaning my room. He instructed the maids to be cleaning my room and serving my daily meal. However, I implored the maids to allow me to clean my room myself but they refused and said that they cannot disobey the Alpha. I told them that I want to be cleaning my room myself because I don't want to be lazy. I promised them that the Alpha will never know about it and they reluctantly agreed. The day George realized that I am pregnant was a day I went to the swimming pool and he saw me with my bulging stomach. I recall what happened that day. It was on a sunny afternoon and I was feeling hot. I decided to cool my body in the swimming pool. I changed into swim wear and wrapped a towel around me. I then left the house. When I got to the swimming pool, I did not
WHITNEY POV Tears streamed down my face and dropped on my dress as I gazed at the inscription on the pendant and Alpha Vicker kept a straight face as he stared at me. The tears were that of joy. Although I love the diamond necklace, I must admit that I appreciate the inscription on the pendant more cos it meant so much to me. After staring at the inscription for some seconds, I raised my head and looked at Alpha Vicker. "Thank you so much. I must say that though I love the necklace, I love the inscription on the pendant more. I have never had a diamond accessory. This is my first. I guess it must have cost a fortune," I said in a whisper. "I'm glad you like it. Yes, indeed it is expensive. Would you like me to take you out today to celebrate your birthday?" he asked. I was silent for some seconds as I thought about it. Although it would have been great to go out with him, I didn't feel like going out. I just want to be indoors today. Since my pregnancy became visible, I d
A month after my seventeenth birthday, my pregnancy was now eight months. I had added weight but I was not fat. I was now having antenatal appointments at the hospital every two weeks and Alpha Vicker takes me to the hospital on my appointment days. Aside from that, I was religiously taking my medications cos I want to give birth to a healthy child. Alpha Vicker was pampering me and I was now craving different things virtually every day and he always gets me anything I want. However, most times, I crave chocolates and cookies. Anyone that doesn't know that Alpha Vicker is just being gracious would think he is the father of my baby. Seeing the way Alpha Vicker was treating me, everyone in the house now talks to me with the utmost respect including the maids. The maids serve my meals morning, afternoon, and evening with lots of fruits and vegetables which I love. They come back later to take away the dishes. I felt I was being over-
WHITNEY'S POV I suddenly regained consciousness as I felt something cold on my body. I slowly opened my eyes and saw that my hair and dress were drenched with water. I raised my head and realized that I was in the forest. It was already dark but there was a full moon in the sky with several stars casting their pale light in the forest. My eyes swept from my dress dripping with water to my legs and I let out a gasp of shock as I realized that my hands and legs were tied with a Manila rope to a large oak tree. I raised my head and my eyes swept around the forest. Fear gripped my heart as I could hear the distant sounds of wild animals. What am I doing here? I wondered as I tried to remember where I was before I found myself here. I closed my eyes and suddenly, the scene flashed in my head. I remembered when I told Phillip at the gate of Alpha Vicker's mansion that I was going for a walk on the street and I recall when I was walking back home and suddenly, a Toyot
WHITNEY'S POV I was silent as I gazed at Sophia who was glaring at me with eyes filled with hatred. I wondered how the men she sent to kidnap me knew that I would come out yesterday. I decided to ask her."Sophia, if I may ask, how did the men you sent yesterday to kidnap me know that I would be coming out by that time?" I asked."They didn't know. Since Alpha Vicker broke up with me, I gave the men instruction to always keep vigil over Alpha's Vicker's mansion. So, they have been coming everyday to the street and keeping vigil over Alpha Vicker's house since he broke up with me. I instructed them to kidnap you anytime they see you come out of his house alone," she paused to catch her breath. "At a point, the men got tired because they have never seen you come out of the house with someone let alone being by yourself. The only times they saw you, you were with Alpha Vicker in his car.They told me that they don't want to continue keeping vigil over Alpha Vicker's house and
ALPHA VICKER'S POV It was past midnight and I was pacing up and down in my room because Whitney didn't come back home yesterday evening after she told Philip that she was going for a walk. I had earlier lay on my bed but couldn't sleep. For over two hours, I tossed and turned in bed as I wondered what happened to her and where she could be. Even though I have only known Whitney for some months, to a large extent, I know her personality and can predict her actions in different circumstances. That she would just leave the house and go somewhere without telling me is unlike her. So, I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that something was awfully wrong. How could she be missing? Where could she have gone to? A voice in my head was telling me that she has been kidnapped cos I see no reason why she would run away from home. But if she is actually kidnapped, who would kidnap an innocent young girl like Whitney? To make matter worse, she is heavily pregnant. I was deeply troubled
WHITNEY'S POV As soon as I returned to Luther's father's house, I sent my brother to Luther's house to bring Jason to me. When he returned with my son, I carefully examined him to be sure that Jaya had not done any harm to him. After a thorough examination, I didn't find any reason to be worried and I was relieved. I was so emotional and exhausted and couldn't go back the following day after the battle with Luther and his warriors. When Alpha Vicker called me on the phone, I narrated all that happened to him and he was shocked. He was happy that I survived and Jason is safe, however, he was elated that Luther is dead. Alpha Vicker told me to stay as long as I want in Montgomery since Luther is dead and I have had my revenge against all those that hurt me. My parents and my brother told me they were among the crowd during the battle. They said they saw me levitating and they were gobsmacked. They couldn't come to plead on my behalf because they were scared Lu
After some minutes, Luther ordered his warriors to ceasefire until the sorcerers subdue Whitney's power in order not to waste the bullets. Meanwhile, Jaya, Luther's Luna was among the crowd and has been watching Whitney. From where she stood, she tried to use her power to subdue Whitney's power and kill her but it did not affect her. She made several attempts but it was futile. It dawned on her that Whitney was so powerful and her power was no match for hers.As she realized that there was nothing she could do to Whitney, she decided to go after Jason and kill him. She turned around and started walking briskly to Luther's father's house. She got to the gate and told the security guard to open the gate. He greeted her respectfully as Luther's Luna and quickly opened the gate. Jaya walked through the gate and stood in front of the mansion. She started reciting incantations and commanded everyone in the house to fall into a deep sleep. Then, she turned around and saw t
Whitney was filled with rage as she stared at Luther and his warriors. After some seconds, she commanded a wall of fire to surround her for protection. Instantly, a circle of fire surrounded her. Her feet left the ground and she started levitating. Luther and his warriors stopped laughing abruptly. They raised their heads and stared at Whitney with a mixture of shock and awe as she hovered in the air. The sorcerers were also taken aback and they gazed at Whitney with disbelief. Whitney stretched her arm toward Luther's father's house and commanded the spell cast on everyone in the house to be broken. Then, she averted her gaze to look at Luther, his warriors, and the sorcerers who were all beneath her as she hovered above them. For some seconds, she glared at them as her eyes burned with anger. "Luther, I could have killed you some months ago when you attacked me and tried to take away my son but I felt sorry for you and spared your life despite all the pains and trauma you cau
Before Whitney went to bed at night on the day she arrived at Montgomery, she spoke with Alpha Vicker several times on the phone and he told her to be very careful for the one week she will be staying in Montgomery. The following day, Whitney gave her family the things she bought for them and they were elated. She got acquainted with Venus, her brother's mate, and her two kids loved her. Whitney's kids also loved Martin and her parents and they all doted on her kids. The fact that Jason was Luther's biological son coupled with his uncanny resemblance to him didn't make Whitney's family treat him differently from her other kids. He was loved by all of Whitney's family. Since Whitney's battle with Luther and his warriors, she spoke to her brother and parents several times on the phone but didn't tell them about her supernatural power and how she used it to deal with Luther and his warriors. Whitney felt it was time she let them know about her supernatural power and al
WHITNEY'S POV I was drifting in and out of sleep as we drove to Montgomery. From time to time, we stopped and I bought snacks and drinks for my kids and everyone in the car as well as for the people in the Mercedes Benz. I spoke a few times throughout the journey cos I was lost in thoughts. I thought about how my family lived in poverty right from when I was a child and all the significant things that happened during my childhood. I thought of when Luther raped me and the series of events that happened after that to when I ran from Nashville and met Alpha Vicker. Although most parts of my life were turbulent, I am grateful that my life has changed significantly and I'm now happy and at peace. As I'm now living a blissful life, I also want my parents and brother with his family to live comfortably and happily. One of my main plans is to buy a house for them in Nashville and take them from Montgomery. I intend to also set up any business of their choice for them. After a
SIX MONTHS AFTER WHITNEY'S POV On a weekend, six months after sparing Luther's life and a month after Jason turned seven, and had a grand birthday party, I was sitting on my bed in the room and I was packing my bags and my kids' bags. The time was 8:30 am. I was going back to Montgomery with my three kids after seven years of living in Nashville without seeing my parents and my brother. Rachel, my kids' nanny was dressing my kids up in their room and Alpha Vicker went to the parkhouse very early in the morning to resolve an issue. I decided to return to Montgomery after much pleading from my parents and brother soon after the battle with Luther and his warriors. I felt I have been on self-exile from Montgomery for too long and it was time for me to visit my family. After so much pressure from my family to come to Montgomery, I made up my mind to go. However, when I told Alpha Vicker that I want to go to Montgomery with the kids to see my family, he vehemently refused.
WHITNEY'S POV The full moon and stars in the sky illuminated the whole place and the pole lights on both sides of the highway shone brightly making me see everything clearly. The smell of charred bodies filled the air as I watched Luther's car burn with fury in my eyes. I thought Luther was in the burning car and didn't know that he fell out of the car into the ditch and lost consciousness. After a couple of minutes of gazing at the burning car as I was still levitating, I turned around to look at the charred bodies and bones of the warriors burnt to different degrees. All of them were dead. As I gazed at the horrific scene, tears welled up in my eyes and I became very emotional. With all the strength I could muster, I banished my emotions. I descended till my feet touched the ground and walked slowly to Luther's burning car. I stretched my arm toward it and commanded the fire to go off. Instantly, the fire went off and everywhere was filled with smoke. I
Whitney was filled with rage as she sped down the well-lit highway due to the pole light. Aside from that, the full moon's pale light illuminated the whole place. She drove past a few cars that had parked by the side of the highway due to the storm and the thick fog which had worsened. Considering how severe the storm and fog were, there was no way anyone could drive in the weather which made Whitney to be a little bit relaxed cos she believed Luther must have parked by the side of the road. As Whitney drove, she saw various items on the highway such as shrubs, grasses, cans, and other things blown by the wind, and on both sides of the highway, there were fallen trees that had been uprooted by the fierce wind. After driving for about thirty minutes, it struck her that she doesn't know Luther's car and she became worried and confused. Just then, she looked ahead of her and saw the convoy of four SUVs that followed Luther's car. The cars were all parked by the sid
For some seconds, Whitney and Alpha Vicker cuddled before they disengaged. "Why were you unconscious?" Whitney asked with curiosity. "Luther and I fought fiercely and he hit me with that sculpture on the floor, and I fainted," he said as he pointed at the sculpture. "Oh my goodness! He could have killed you. Luther is such an evil man. He wants Jason by all means. Unfortunately, he will never have him as long as I live," Whitney said with anger in her eyes."Thank goodness that he didn't kill me. I'm okay. I don't feel any pain," he said as he touched the part of his head that was bleeding. "You don't feel any pain because I healed you before reviving you," Whitney said. "Wow...I didn't know that. Anyway, thank you," he said with a smile as he patted her cheek. "You are welcome," she said as she smiled back at him. "My Luna, hurry up now and revive all my injured warriors and go after Luther and bring my son," he said. "I will but I can only revive those that are still alive.
