WHITNEY'S POVAs I knelt in front of Alpha Vicker, I rested my head on his feet sobbing, and my tears started dropping on his feet. The room was quiet except for my sobs. After a couple of seconds, I felt his hands touch my shoulders and he held me gently. "Whitney, stop crying and look at me," he said with a gentle tone.I raised my head, looked at him and we made eye contact. The fury in his eyes was gone and I could see compassion in them.He took his hands off my shoulder and reached out and touched my face. "Please, stop crying," he cooed as he started wiping my tears with his hands. I stopped sobbing but the tears continued to run down my face. "I want you to stop crying, get up and sit down, okay?"I nodded and rose to my feet. I took a few steps backward, sat on the bed, and gazed at him.He was silent for some seconds as he stared at me. "Whitney, you are putting me in a tight spot. Seeing you sobbing breaks my heart and I must say that right now, I'm confused about wha
ALPHA VICKER'S POVI was woken up by the insistent ringing of my alarm clock. I stirred on the bed as the alarm clock continued to ring. I turned my head to look at the alarm. The time was 6 am. I reached out and hit the snooze button.I yawned and stared at the ceiling as I recalled when I first saw Whitney and the conversation I had with her last night. Yesterday morning when I drove out of the gate of my house, I was about to drive from the driveway unto the road when I noticed that there was someone under the avocado tree outside my fence. I was surprised cos I couldn't understand why anyone would be sleeping under a tree at that time in the morning. From the driver's seat, I didn't know if the person was a man or a woman but I could see that he or she was asleep. I concluded that the person must be destitute and would leave anytime when he or she woke up. At first, I was about to drive off when my intuition told me to go and see the person. I pulled up, got out of the car, and
WHITNEY'S POVI was woken by the shrill sound of the doorbell. I yawned and stretched my body before I turned my head to look at the wall clock. The time was 6:45 a.m. I got out of bed, walked slowly to the door, and opened it. Alpha Vicker was standing in front of me looking quite dashing. Instantly, the pleasant fragrance of the perfume he was wearing drifted into my nostrils. My eyes swept over him. He was wearing a grey suit and a white shirt with a blue tie. He was holding a black briefcase in his right hand and a gold wristwatch he was wearing caught my attention. On his feet were expensive-looking black Oxford shoes.Even the suit did not hide his impressive physique and he looked quite intimidating. I found myself very attracted to him and gazed at his handsome face. I averted my eyes and gazed at his sensuous-looking lips and I yearned to kiss him. Gosh! What a gorgeous man. He kept an impassive face as his penetrating blue eyes were gazing at me. I thought he could read m
WHITNEY'S POV I was shocked as I realized that I have fallen in love with Alpha Vicker. How is that possible? I wondered. After some seconds, I lied on the bed and stared at the ceiling. I only met Alpha Vicker yesterday and I barely know him, so, how could I be in love with him? Although I have heard of love at first sight and heard some of the girls in Alpha Don's pack talk about how they met a guy for the first time and fell over heels in love with him, I never believed them. I had always thought that they are stupid to believe that one can fall in love at first sight but I guess I was wrong cos I can't explain the strange feelings I have for Alpha Vicker which I have never had for anyone and I have no doubt that it's love. When I first set my eyes on him, I was instantly attracted to him but there was no emotional feeling, so, I guess that could be just lust. However, getting to know him and his highly commendable charact
WHITNEY'S POV I was filled with anxiety as my brother's phone started to ring. I held the phone to my ears with shaking hands. With each passing second the phone was ringing, my anxiety increased. After some seconds, the phone stopped ringing and I dialed the number again. The phone started ringing again and after a couple of seconds, my brother answered the phone. "Hello, who is this?" he asked. As I heard his deep raspy voice, tears welled up in my eyes. I opened my lips to talk but no sound came out. "May, I know who is on the line?" he asked with exasperation. Tears started rolling down my face. I wish I didn't have to make the call but it's important cos I know when Alpha Vicker comes back from work and comes to see me, the first thing he will ask is if I called my family and he will want to know their response, so, I knew I had to get hold of myself. I wiped my tears with my hands and took a deep breath. "Martin, good morning," I said.
WHITNEY'S POV"Whitney, so you are serious about getting a job in Nashville, and that your boss is a wealthy Alpha?" Martin asked with a disbelieving tone. "Yes, I am damn serious. I thought you know me so well, so, you should know when I'm lying," I said."So you meant what you said that you will not come back to Montgomery until you have given birth to your baby and he is at least a year old?" he asked."Yes, I meant everything I said," I replied bluntly. He was silent for a moment and I could hear him breathing heavily."Whitney, do you love me?" he asked with a gentle tone.I was taken aback by the question."Why are you asking me such a question," I asked. "Just answer the question!" he said with exasperation. "You know I love you. You and I grew up together and there is no denying that there is a strong bond between us," I said. "You say you love me and that we have a strong bond between us, yet you are hurting me. Is that fair?" he asked with a gentle tone."What do you m
WHITNEY'S POV"Whitney, please, don't ever say you will commit suicide. That is such a horrible statement. You know how much I love you. You are my only sibling and you mean the world to me," he said with a pleading tone."If you love me as you claim, then, why are causing me so much pain? You should have considered the physical and mental trauma I have suffered since I was raped and should have tried as much as you can to alleviate it but instead, you are causing me more pain. No matter how you feel about my pregnancy, I expected you to be understanding and accept my decision but you have vehemently refused to..." I paused as he cut in."Will you shut up! Yes, I know that you have been traumatized and I want you to get over it and that is one of the main reasons I want you to abort the pregnancy!" he roared. "What you are saying doesn't make sense to me. In what way would terminating my pregnancy make me get over the trauma?" I asked. "If you terminate the pregnancy, you may not im
WHITNEY'S POVI sat on the bed and cried for a couple of minutes. I felt bad because I knew my decision to keep the pregnancy against all odds have hurt a lot of people dear to me, especially my brother and parents but I have no other option. I just can't imagine ending the life of my growing fetus. I hope everyone I have offended and who feels aggrieved because of my decision will find it in their heart to forgive me. My eyes swept across the room and I couldn't help comparing it to my room in Alpha Don's house. Despite I have been here since yesterday, I still found it hard to believe that I'm not dreaming. "Thank you, Moon Goddess for all the things you are doing for me," I muttered and let out a sigh. I felt claustrophobic and bored cos I have not left the room since yesterday, so, I decided to leave the room and go to the backyard and read but first, I need to go to the library and get a novel. I stood up, walked to the bathroom, and washed my face. I walked back to the room
