WHITNEY'S POVI stared into space for a couple of minutes as I thought of my mom and dad. I imagined how distraught they would probably be since I left. I wish I could go back home and spend some time with them as my brother suggested but that is impossible. I don't need a soothsayer to tell me that if I dare go back home, my brother and Alpha Don are bound to take me to the hospital forcefully and abort my pregnancy. Besides, they might likely not let me come back to Nashville again and that would be the end of my dream of being Alpha Vicker's mate. I was filled with sorrow and let out a sad sigh. I thought of my colleagues in Alpha Don's house and all my friends in the pack. I tried to imagine their reactions when they found out I ran away from home. Although I have only been in Nashville for a few days, I must admit that I miss everyone dear to me in Montgomery. I hope to see them someday but for now, my priority is how to develop mysel
WHITNEY'S POVSeeing the jealousy on their faces, I knew I might have problems with them and I resolved to do my best to make sure I get very close to them. Hopefully, that would assuage their jealousy. "Whitney, you are employed as a maid and you ought to be staying here with us. I don't understand why Alpha Vicker wants you to stay in the guest room," Vera said with eyes filled with envy. "Yes, Vera is right. You are employed as a maid like us, so, why are you given exceptional treatment? If I may ask, how did you meet Alpha Vicker? Did he hire you through an agency the way Vera and I were hired?" Felicia asked with curiosity. Gosh! How do I answer the question? The two of them are sounding bitter. They don't know that Alpha Vicker met me sleeping outside his house and offered me employment right there. Thank goodness that they don't know cos If they had known, they would have been more baffled. Although I don't also know why Alpha Vicker is giving me exceptional treatment as a
WHITNEY'S POV"Vera, so you really think Alpha Vicker is searching for a mate?" I asked."Of course. I am very certain," she replied."I also think so," Felicia said. "Hmmm...I must admit that the things that you have told me about Sophia make me curious to meet her," I said."Really? We can't remember telling you anything good about Sophia, so, why should you be curious to meet her?" Felicia said with surprise. "Yeah, I know that you have only told me horrible things about her but I want to meet her just to satisfy my curiosity," I replied."When you meet her, you will know that all we have said about her is true and I'm sure you will wish you never met her," Vera said laughing and Felicia roared into laughter. "She will probably come tomorrow which is Saturday cos she comes to visit Alpha Vicker most weekends," Felicia said. I was really eager and curious to meet Sophia. I hope she will come tomorrow. I was beginning to feel drowsy and I decided to go to bed. At least to
WHITNEY'S POV I work up in the morning and glanced at the time. It was 6:30 am. I yawned and stretched out my body. I lay on the bed for some minutes as my mind drifted to Alpha Vicker. Today is Saturday and I can feel it in my guts that it will be different from the other days I have spent in this house since I arrived cos of the series of events happening today which includes going shopping with Alpha Vicker, getting a new SIM card, Alpha Vicker speaking to Alpha Don and my brother on the phone, and the one that I'm mostly looking forward to which is meeting Sophia, Alpha Vicker's girlfriend. Aside from that, today is the third day that Alpha Vicker told me I will give him an answer concerning my pregnancy. I wondered how he will react when I tell him that I will never abort my pregnancy. I guess he will be probably angry and would coax me to abort the pregnancy but I have made up my mind. Then, it struck me that he may not want me as his mate if I refuse to abort the pr
WHITNEY'S POVAs Alpha Vicker and I stared at each other, I guess he could see the fear in my eyes and I saw a glimpse of sadness in his eyes. "Alpha Don, are you aware that abortion is illegal in some states in the US which includes Tennessee where I live, and Alabama where you are? And are you also aware that it doesn't exclude rape?" Alpha Vicker asked.Alpha Don was silent for some seconds."Yes, I'm aware but that doesn't mean she can't abort the pregnancy," Alpha Don said."May I ask why you want her to abort the pregnancy?" Alpha Vicker asked."I want her to abort the pregnancy because she is still a minor. She is just 16 years old and becoming a mother at that age when she is obviously not ready for the responsibilities that come with being a mother would have a significant negative impact on her life. Besides, she would likely be stigmatized if she delivers the baby cos people might think she is wayward and that is why she was impregnated," Alpha Don said. "Alpha Don, Whitn
WHITNEY'S POV I stood up on my feet, walked slowly to the bed, and sat down. I gazed at Alpha Vicker and we gazed at each other for some seconds. "Whitney, you heard when Alpha Don said I should coax you to get rid of the pregnancy which I did when you first told me that you are pregnant but you refused and that was why I gave you three days to ponder over it. Today is the third day and I demand an answer now. I want to believe that you have thought carefully about it," Alpha Vicker said. "Yes, I have pondered over my decision to keep the pregnancy and my answer remains the same. I want to keep my pregnancy and deliver my child," I said. He was silent for a moment as he stared at me in disbelief. "Is that your final decision?" he asked. "Yes, it is," I said bluntly. "Gosh! I must say that you are too wilful for your age. I would have continued to persuade you but I can see that you have already made up your mind, so, I'm not going to pressurize you anymore. Aside from that, a
WHITNEY'S POVFor some seconds, the lady in red was glaring at me. Even though I guessed it was Sophia, I wanted to be sure."Sophia, what are you doing here at this time? You were supposed to come in the evening," Alpha Vicker said.She gave me an icy look before she turned her head and looked at Alpha Vicker. "Alpha, courtesy demands that you welcome a guest first before asking unnecessary questions," she said with anger. "Are you crazy? Since when have you become a guest? You are my girlfriend and not a guest!" Alpha Vicker said angrily."Well, since I don't live here with you, I consider myself to be a guest," she snapped.Alpha Vicker was silent for a moment as he fumed in anger. "You can consider yourself to be anything you like, I don't give a damn!" he bellowed. "Now, answer my question. Why did you come by this time? I was expecting you in the evening," Alpha Vicker said. "You know that I don't go to work on Saturdays. I have been watching movies since morning and I was
WHITNEY'S POVSophia glared at me while I fumed in anger. I glanced at Alpha Vicker and he was visibly angry as he glared at Sophia. "I just asked you a question and you are gazing at me like a fool! Or are you deaf and dumb? If you are, you can simply let me know by gesticulating," she said in amusement. "I guess you lack basic etiquette and that is why you are talking like a lunatic! That is quite unfortunate. Even though etiquette is supposed to be learned when one is a kid, anyone can learn it anytime, so, it's not too late for you to learn it..." I paused as she gasped in shock. Her mouth was agape as she stared at me in disbelief. "Ma'am, I will advise you to learn basic etiquette. I just hope that you are not too dumb to learn, but if you do, I believe you will learn how to talk to people politely. You appear to be comfortable enough to afford a good tutor, so, try and hire a good tutor as soon as possible, okay?" I said bluntly.
