Raina's POV"Are you sure you want this?" Mirabella asked for the umpteenth time that morning."Yes." I assured her.She sighed and confirmed all the ingredients I had brought to her."Complete?" I asked."Yes, surprisingly. How did you get a strand of her hair?" She asked curiously."I have my means." I said in a tone that suggested that she should probe any further."Good, for the very last time; are you really sure that you want to do this?" She asked again.I was getting irritated by her hesitance."Yes I am, you're beginning to irritate me with your questions, do we have to go over this again? We've come to a conclusion and I'm more than ready to beat the consequences." I said irritatedly."It's fine, you don't need to get all worked up over nothing. Do you want me to give you a potion that will lessen the pain but reduce the effect of the spell?" She asked concernedly."No, the more the pain the better, it would remind me.of my mission." I snapped."There's no going back, you st
She knew If she found out it was all a lie, she’s going down.Riana couldn't wave off the feeling of uneasiness that seemed to perch on her that morning. It was certain that nothing was wrong at home else Deborah would have called but her guts never lied so she quickly wrapped up what it was that she was doing and headed back home. All through the ride back home she silently prayed Sapphire wasn't having a crisis or Deborah got into trouble. Sapphire on the other hand alighted from the Uber and dragged her suitcase along with her as she stepped into the airport premises. This country had become her second home for the past few months but it was time to face reality, though it looked promising and rejuvenating yet it wasn't just for her. She walked past the dozens of people who had one thing or the other to do at the airport.Thinking that her flight was in two hours time; Sapphire found a good sitti g spot where she wouldn't be bothered and sat there. People moved to and fro and t
"Ouch!" Riana yelled in pain as Mirabella hit the spatula on her hand."What did you do that?" Riana cried."That should teach you not to steal my pancakes!" Mirabella said."But they look so yummy and delicious and tasty and inviting and alluring and attractive." Riana pouted.Sapphire laughed."All that attribute for a pancake?" Sapphire asked jokingly."You can't sweet talk your way out of this one woman! Get your hands off my pancakes else you'll receive another round of wacking from my spatula." Mirabella threatened and raised her spatula up dramatically as if it was a sword.She swung it sideways while making some weird ninja sounds which made them all burst into laughter."I never knew you received ninja training while training to be a nurse." Riana said in between laughter."We'll touch my pancakes one more time and I'll show you exactly what they taught us." Mirabella threatened."You wouldn't break your favorite cousin's fingers would you?""I'm a nurse, I'll break it and th
Alcandar’s POVI decided to pay a visit to Sapphire just to know how she was doing the right thing.I pondered hard if I was actually doing the right thing because I didn’t want her to be bothered about my health.My face was already looking pale and I was still undergoing treatment and I didn’t know it would be hard for her to see me in such a condition.I didn’t want her to bother me too much and I knew she might overreact after seeing me like that.“Aren’t you going to see her again?” Louis asked me, seeing me stagnant at the door of the house holding the flowers I bought for her.“I am. I’m not just sure I should. She’s in such a condition and I don’t want her to see me and start to worry about me too much.” I said calmly, tuning over to have a better conversation.I just hoped she was handling all of this well and treating our child well. I knew she was strong and I believed this was all going to be over soon.“You should see her, it’s been a while and she didn’t call, meaning sh
"I can't allow you to go out and afford risking your health",Mirabella yelled."We are not going to stay long,it is just a stroll after all",Sapphire replied calmly.Mirabella looked at Sapphire pitifully and couldn't resist the warm look on her face. "We promise to be back as soon as possible",Riana said, ensuring Mirabella."You get just one hour and make sure she doesn't eat anything she is not used to ",Mirabella said to Rianna while grunting. Immediately Mirabella left the room, Riana convinced Sapphire to take along some money to buy their usual goodies along the road. "No, I am not buying anything today. I don't want to eat something that will worsen my health!",Sapphire exclaimed, but Riana was so persuasive to the extent that Sapphire agreed. While the girls were walking and gossipping,they came across a shop selling candies and biscuits. "We should buy some of these",Riana said. "I am sure you are aware that candies contain a lot of sugar and too much sugar has negative
Sapphire’s POV“Sapphire.” I Heard a familiar voice call out to me.I didn’t want to believe because it couldn’t be and I was probably hallucinating:“Sapphire.” The voice called out again and this time around I knew i wasn’t hallucinating:I turned back immediately and I was shocked to see Alcandar standing there with a bouquet of flowers in his hands.My heart ached in excitement and surprise at the same time.“Alcandar, is that really you?” I said in disbelief that all omg towards him as he stood there with a plain smile on his face.The same Alcandar, my husband was here right in front of me.Seeing Alcandar made me feel one kind of way, I felt so excited and at the same time I felt weird seeing him again. It’s been almost a month since I heard from him and I could see the difference.His eyes were pale now and from the look of his face it was evident that he was really sick.Why didn’t he let me know what he was going through all this while?Adrian told me he was getting really b
They are doing well and fine",Lily replied calmly. After a few minutes, they reached Lily 's house. Mirabella and Riana got out of the car and took their luggages from the trunk. Lily helped them with some of it. "Welcome to my humble home",Lily said with some pride.It was evident from her voice that she was very excited about it all.Lily 's house is a duplex but she lived upstairs of the house. "Do you like it here?",Lily asked politely. "The house seems nice,"Mirabella replied. They took the luggage upstairs and Lily showed them the room they would be staying in. "I can't imagine how exhausted you must be, Riana.Well I had my cook, Nancy,make some pasta and salad.Go freshen up and join us at the dining room",Lily said."Thanks,I would do just that",Riana replied slowly as she was exhausted from the journey. As Riana got to the bathroom, she stared at the mirror for some time and started to think."What am I going to do? I am millions of miles away from home without my
Sapphire’s POV“I’ve missed you so much, why didn’t you call at least.” I said, trying my best not to ruin the moment with my tears.“I will tell you everything now; no more hiding things from you again. I will always come out to tell you the truth.” He said with a very calm look.A part of me was very excited to hear it while the other part of me was scared that the truth would break me.Still I wanted to know what’s going on, so I can support him through every step of his journey.“Let’s sit down, I’m not going right back, I’m still going to be here with you. I want to see how far you’ve gone with getting used to the baby. I know it has not been anything near easy for you and I’m sorry I hardly showed up.” Alcandar walked me over to the garden swing and placed me there.He made me rest my back on his body while he stood behind me.I wanted more of this moment, more than this.Any moment from now this was going to end and I didn’t know why I felt so overwhelmed.I didn’t want him to
Sapphire’s POVOne moon later,“What do you want for breakfast?” Alcandar called out to me from the kitchen.Just finished dressing up for my baby girl and I went downstairs to go to Mide’s and open that’s what it was doing in the kitchen because I knew that he couldn’t do everything on his own even if he always acted like he could.I bathed her gently and got her dressed in the best outfits I could see. Alcandar made sure she had everything and more.She always had an excess of everything.It all always landed out on the right spot and I knew how much I felt so overjoyed because of that.I had the perfect family and I don’t ever think you can wish for anything more than that.As soon as I went down the staircase, a maid came running to me.She smiled at Karen and collected her from me to go and feed her.I have waited so long for this happily ever after life because me and my husband have gone through so many things and this was just what we needed now.After all of the hardships an
Sapphire’s POV“ It is time for me to get this over with. I can't be one of the cited parts.” Alcandar muttered to himself , ripping his hands to take out his phone .After that was successfully done he looked for Kira’s name and called her.Ilocked the call again and the phone rang for about two seconds.“Yea what’s up.” Kira said over the phone in a very low voice like I Was sick or something.Her voice sounded really pale but Iseemed fit enough as Ispoke. •”Please if you don’t mind, I am going to need your attention. We need to talk urgently, I have something very important to ask you.” He said, taking a dramatic pause.“You were saying?” Kira said hastening him up because Ifound the deal with the whole suspense thing he was trying to form up.“Let’s talk about our marriage .. You and I know how much you have been avoiding this question for no good reason, because if you have something to say about something that is actually very sensitive I would like to know. Your silence is
Alcandar’s POV“What trouble?” I asked my brother who was panting profusely.“Baby Alex is missing,” he said.My stomach tightened at the possibility of our newborn kid being in danger. Baby Alex was more than simply a youngster; he represented our pack's future, the hope that would continue on our legacy. It seemed unfathomable to lose him."Are you sure?" I questioned Adrian, thinking that it was just a mistake."Yes brother, I'm absolutely sure," Adrian said, pausing to gather his breath."We've searched the whole village, but we couldn't find him anywhere. We found the nanny who was supposed to be watching him dead in his room. I'm suspecting this is the work of our enemies."Sapphire's eyes widened in surprise, and her demeanor reflected her dread and anxiety."Oh Moon goddess…” Sapphire prayed before turning to look at me.“We must find him, Alcandar. Our child...""We will find him," I murmured resolutely, clutching Sapphire's hand hard. "We will not rest until our son is safel
SAPPHIRE’S POVI was seized by stress and anxiety as my heart raced in my chest. What had become of Alcandar? Why did the doctor leave so quickly? I made an effort to maintain my composure by telling myself that Alcandar was resilient and had already endured a lot. My newly born child was wailing in my hand as if he understood what was going on.I waited for the doctor and nurse to show up for what seemed like hours. My attention was totally on Alcandar, and the sounds of the hospital appeared to recede into the distance. Despite my strong desire, Alcandar's safety kept me from holding our kid in my arms.The doctor eventually made his way back, but I couldn't read the expression on his face so I had to wait to hear his report. Suddenly a smile broke out on his face and I felt a bit relieved.“Mr. Alcandar asks to see you, Mrs. Sapphire,” the doctor finally said.Hearing the doctor's remarks, my heart sprang with hope. I was desired by Alcandar? I swiftly followed the doctor to Alcand
Alcandar’s povFor a moment I really stayed rooted in my spot not knowing what to think of this. Going to meet Mirabella alone is like a suicide mission and again if I really want my wife back I have to go.I know how much of a maniac she is. She I mistakenly refused to show up, she might end up blowing sapphire head up and sending it to me through the mail and I wouldn’t want that.Mirabella is a type of person who was so good at hiding her tracks. No one know where she was or where she would be and most importantly where she is.She only show up when she wants to and let you see her when she wants you to see her so hurting her down when she have my wife with her is not a risk I am willing to take so I cancelled that off the my list. Whatever way out I thought of end up taking me down the trail of meeting her which I have been avoiding like a plague. But I have to face the hard truth before it punch me on the gut, the only possible way out of this is if I heed her words and meet her
SAPPHIRE’S POVI devised a risky scheme one day out of desperation and a deep want to be with him. I was able to get past security by pretending to be a nurse and enter Alcandar's room. My soul was broken by the sight of him lying there, so defenseless and unresponsive. I prayed for a sign that he could hear me as I stretched out for his hand, unable to contain my emotions.Overwhelming emotions overcame me just as I was ready to depart, causing me divided between my love for Alcandar and my commitment to Adrian. I sobbed as the hurt of Alcandar's illness, the dread of losing him, and the excitement and anticipation of our kid all mingled.Adrian and one of the doctors raced into the room, having been alerted by my weeping. I couldn't hold back any longer; I needed them both at the time."Sapphire, you shouldn't be here," Adrian murmured again, attempting to shield me."You need to think of yourself and the baby."But I couldn't stand it any longer. My heart ached for Alcandar as I cl
Sapphire’s POV“I thought you said you're always here for us to raise our child together, why aren’t you waking up Alcandar? I can’t do this without you and you know; this wasn’t the promise we made to each other.” I said breaking down In tears as I held his hands into mine.I still got no response from him and I didn’t know why I was so scared, I was given some time to stay with him and I didn’t know why it felt like he died already.I was so scared that I didn’t know how to prepare myself for whatever was about to happen.I knew he was going to be okay because he already promised me and I hoped he would stick to his promise.My stomach was already aching badly and I could feel the baby was going to come out anytime soon.Adrian and yeh divot gave me some minutes sir spend with him and I didn’t know why I was freaking out.All the energy and all the strength I had before silently vanished and I felt I won’t be able to do this if he wasn’t there by my side.“My heart ached for him an
Alcandar’s POVAs I confronted the dangerous woman in front of me, my heart hammered like a thousand drums. Mirabella, who was possessed by a craving for power and vengeance, clutched a shaking revolver in her hand. The gloomy lighting just added to the seriousness of the scenario."Mirabella, please," I begged, just above a whisper."Leave Sapphire out of this; this is just between you and me. She isn't required to be involved.”“What do you want? The leadership position? Fine, I’ll give it to you; I’ll dethrone myself and let you rule but please don’t hurt my family,” I kept pleading."You see, Alcandar, I once plotted to overthrow you and take over the werewolf pack for myself," Mirabella growled, her voice venomous."However, I'm sick of wanting that position. All I want now is to watch you suffer like I have."As I saw the extent of her insanity, my heart sunk. She had given up on controlling, but her need for revenge had not. Sapphire, my loving wife, stood alongside Mirabella,
Alcandar’s pov “You mean she will be up in a couple of days?” I asked the doctor to make sure I heard me right.“Yes. The bullet pierced her upper arm and the wound is very deep but fortunately no vital organ was touched but when she fall, she hit her head so head I think it resulted in serious concussion. The head injury is more the one keeping her unconscious than the actual bullet injury coupled with the fact that she lost a lot of blood. But I am sure she will be fine” He explained further, each of his word lifting the worry from my heart. At least I won’t live with the guilt that she was killed because of me.When the nurse told me they would be out soon from earlier, she actually was telling nothing but the truth because just few minutes after I sat down, the door sprang open and the two doctors and three nurses that were in their trying to save her life all sprang out.When they first assured me that she would be fine I didn’t believe one but seeing as they all looked bloody a
