ALPHA VICKER'S POV I was alarmed when I saw Sophia slump to the floor. I rushed to where she lay and crouched beside her. I looked at her face and her eyes were closed. I touched the side of her neck and felt her pulse and it was still beating. I heaved a sigh of relief as the guards and maids surrounded me and were panicking. "Vera, get me some water!" I yelled. The cook is already coming with some water," Vera said. Just then the cook brought some water in a bowl and gave it to me. I dipped my hand into the bowl, scooped some water, and sprinkled it on Sophia's face. Immediately, Sophia's body spasmed and she slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes widened with shock as she saw me and my staff surrounding her. "What happened? Why are all of you surrounding me?" she asked feebly. "You fainted when I was talking to you," I replied. She stared at me thoughtfully and suddenly she gasped as she seemed to remember what I was telling her before she fainted. "Are the
ALPHA VICKER'S POV After driving on the highway for over thirty minutes, the car swerved off the highway into a road leading to the Hill forest. As the car got closer to the Hill forest, my heart started racing. Oh, Moon Goddess, please, keep Whitney alive. Please, don't let any harm come to her. I prayed in my heart. "Miss Sophia, we are at the Hill forest. Which part of the forest is Whitney?" the blonde-haired policeman asked as the car moved down the road at moderate speed. "When you get to the road junction, turn to your left and drive down. I will tell you where to stop," Sophia said. I gazed at Sophia as I was overwhelmed with rage. If Whitney is harmed in any way or anything happens to her baby, Sophia is as good as being dead. She should kiss the world goodbye cos I will not spare her life. I will kill her with my hands and damn the consequences. Just then, the car got to the junction, swerved to the left, and drove down a narrow road. I thought Sophia wa
WHITNEY'S POV "Doctor, I must admit that I'm worried even though you told me not to get myself worked up. Whitney has been unconscious for three days. How long will it take for her to regain consciousness?" I heard Alpha Vicker's voice as I regained consciousness but my eyes were closed. Suddenly, my ordeal in the forest flashed into my mind and I shuddered in trepidation. Why am I hearing Alpha Vicker's voice? Where am I? Or am I dreaming? I wondered. "Alpha, I have told you not to get agitated. We have run several tests on Whitney to ascertain her state of health as well as that of her baby and so far, she seem okay and her baby is also okay. As a matter of fact, Whitney is in good health except for the injuries on her hands and legs which are healing very fast. I must say I'm surprised at her remarkably good state of health which is unusual considering the ordeal she went through. Just be patient, I believe that before the end of the day or latest by tomorrow, she will regai
WHITNEY'S POV For some seconds, I gazed at Alpha Vicker. His narration of how Sophia was arrested left me dumbfounded. "After the policemen arrested Sophia, she completely broke down. I guess she was scared of going to jail. It was when we were driving to the police station that she confessed that she was the one that sent some men to kidnap you and she held you captive in the Hill forest. To say I was shocked was an understatement. I was enraged and wanted to strangle her in the police car but the policeman sitting beside me prevented me..." "Oh, my goodness!" I exclaimed in shock. "We then diverted and headed to the Hill forest instead of the police station the policemen were taking Sophia to. When we got to the Hill forest and she pointed at where she tied you to a tree, I was horrified. The policemen ran to where you were while I stood staring at Sophia who was a few feet away from me. Seeing the way you looked tied to the tree, I thought you were dead and I was enraged. I
WHITNEY'S POV Soon after I returned to the house, Alpha Vicker started buying a lot of baby things which includes clothes and accessories. The wounds on my hands and legs were healing very fast but I was still a little traumatized by the kidnap ordeal. My relationship with Alpha Vicker had grown in leaps and bounds. He always comes to see me before going to work and after he comes back from work. Whenever he is with me, he talks about his work, his family, and the activities in the pack. In other words, he was telling me virtually everything about himself and I must say I was so pleased. Although I could feel that there was strong chemistry between the Alpha and me, he never made any suggestive remarks or sexually touched me and I must confess I longed for it. All Alpha Vicker's staff were now talking to me with the utmost respect and treating me like his mate which I find absurd. Though I sometimes go to the maids' room to chat with them in the afternoon when I feel bored, I
WHITNEY'S POV On our way to the hospital, I groaned in pain and suddenly, my water broke. The seat was messed up including my body and Alpha Vicker's body who wrapped his arm around me. I turned my head to look at him thinking he might be irritated but to my surprise, he wasn't fazed. "Whitney, we will soon get to the hospital. Please, hold on," he said with anxiety. Some minutes later, the car pulled up in front of the hospital and immediately Alpha Vicker opened the car door and alighted. "Whitney, please, come down gently," he said looking distressed. I moved slowly on the seat as I groaned in pain and gently alighted. I saw Philip standing beside Alpha Vicker and he was looking anxious. Alpha Vicker wrapped his arm around me and walked me slowly to the entrance door of the hospital. We entered the hospital and suddenly, I felt a contraction and yelled in pain. Two female nurses who were talking to patients ran to meet us. One of
WHITNEY'S POV As I glared at the nurse, Alpha Vicker noticed my countenance and said, "Whitney, is anything the matter?" Alpha Vicker is mine and I will not tolerate any woman lusting after him let alone getting close to him inappropriately. I wanted the nurse out of the room as soon as possible and thought of what to say to make her leave. I averted my gaze and looked at Alpha Vicker. "I'm sorry, I just remembered something that happened in the past," I said. "Oh, I understand. You just gave birth and need to recover physically and mentally especially considering all that you have been through. You shouldn't be troubled by your past or anything else during this period, okay?" he said. "Alright." Philip walked up to me and glance at the baby and said, "Congratulations, Miss Whitney. Your son is cute," he said with a smile. "Thank you, Philip, and thank you for driving us to the hospital," I said smiling. "You are welcome. You needed to get to the hospital as soon as po
WHITNEY'S POV For some seconds, I was dumbfounded as I stared at Alpha Vicker. "Whitney, why are you looking shocked? It's just a suggestion for your son to bear my surname and it's left for you to accept or reject it. So, tell me, will you accept or reject my suggestion?" he asked. "Before I give you an answer, why do you want my son to bear your surname?" I asked. "Considering all that you suffered at the hands of Luther and his family, it will be unreasonable for you to give your son his surname which you also agree with. The second option is your son bearing your surname which I think is good. However, for reason best known to me, I want him to bear my surname. Don't ask me to tell you the reason because I won't tell you now but I promise to tell you later," he said. I was silent for a moment as I tried to guess the reason why he wants my son to bear his surname but I couldn't. Considering how much I love Alpha Vicker and my hope to be his mate someday, my son bearing hi
