Chapter 28"What did you just say?" Henry's eyes flared up in anger."I just told you the truth, Sir Henry! I heard everything you told my mom that day. You don't love me, so stop pretending!" Daniel blurted out."Wow! Such a brilliant kid. I'm happy you know it. Now that you know it, avoid me! I'm not your father and will never be. Even if I succeed in marrying your mom, I'm going to make sure I throw you away. Like, dump you in the trash can!" Henry jibbered, giggling."I know all your plans. I will tell my mommy about it, just wait and watch!" Daniel blurted."We'll see about that, kiddo!" Henry smirked."What's going on here?" Alisha showed up from behind."Mommy, he was telling me that he..." Henry cut him off. "We were only having a man-to-man discussion. It's nothing important. Daniel, isn't it?" Henry faked a smile.Daniel nodded while glaring hatefully at him."Be a good boy, Daniel. Don't tell mummy what we discussed; Mummy does not need to know everything that happens, okay
Chapter 29Writer's POV;"She thinks she'd dump me after everything I've done for her? Impossible! It's either I have her or not even my brother will. I’m fed up with losing to him every single time. I might have lost the throne to him, but not Alisha. She's mine and mine alone!" Henry clenched his fist in anger."What happened, son? You sounded really angry on the phone. What happened?" His mom stood up from her chair to go meet him."Mom, she fucking told me she'd never have anything to do with me. After everything I've done for her, she wants to dump me. Tell me, Mom, is it fair?" Henry muttered sadly."I told you, son. I told you she'd never choose you, but you were so engrossed in your supposed love for her. Tell me, what did you get in return? Heartbreak! Now you see what I've been telling you for the past years. I told you she'd dump you one day and go back to your stepbrother, but you called me an overthinker. If not for the fact that you are my son, I'd have told you it's wha
Chapter 30Next day Greyhound pack.Writer's POV Wren walked into the throne room, turning a deaf ear to the guard's warning that the alpha did not want to see him."He said he's not seeing anyone today; can't you get it?" The guard continued convincing him as he walked deeper into the chamber.Seeing how dark the throne room was, the guard, knowing how creepy the alpha acts, decided to count his teeth with his tongue. He simply turned back and left."Darien?" Wren called, looking around though he couldn't see a thing."I know you are there. Don't just pretend like you can't see me. Even though you can't, I believe you can hear my voice," Wren said but still didn't get any response."I know you are here, Darien. I know what my kid did the other day is wrong, and I've come to apologize." Still no response."You think an apology will mend the pain and shame that kid caused me? You of all people should know my situation. You know everything that happened years ago wasn't my intention.
Chapter 31"Tell me, how does my presence contribute to the kid's betterment? Don't put me in a tight corner, Wren. There's nothing that would make me go back to that pack. Wren, I beg you in the name of God, make another request," I told him."Please, Alisha. You have to do this for my sake. I'm begging," Wren pleaded."Don't put me in a tight corner, Wren. You and I knew what happened to me back there. Now that I finally found peace, you want me to return. Please, Wren, ask for anything else because I can't fulfill your wish. I'm sorry," I turned my back on him."I understand a lot happened to you back then, but I'm begging. I need you to do this for me; if not for anything, please do it for my sake," he pleaded.Why the hell is he bent on sending me to my early grave?"So you prefer sending me back to that hellhole? Just stop all this annoying stuff, Wren. I know I'm sounding ungrateful right now, but I have to. I'm a mother. I have a kid to take care of. My boy is still very young
Chapter 32Darien's POV My smile vanished immediately I noticed the frown on Wren's face. I had been waiting patiently for him to return since morning, but seeing his face now, I lost hope completely. Just this morning, a young lady came claiming to know where Alisha was staying. At first, we never believed her, but after she described her, we were forced to believe she was referring to Alisha. I badly wanted to go with them, but Wren refused; he insisted she'd never come back if I went there with him. It kind of makes sense, so I agreed."How did it go?" I questioned impatiently.He shook his head, indicating nothing went well. My heart skipped a thousand times."I knew it, Wren; I knew she'd never want to return to this pack again, and it's all thanks to me. I fucking messed up. I ruined everything. I treated her like trash when all she did was love me despite my wickedness. I'm a monster who doesn't deserve love! I deserve to die, Wren. I'm wallowing in guilt. I just wish I could
Chapter 33"Don't you dare lay your filthy hands on me!" I forcefully withdrew my hands from his grip.He stood there speechlessly, with his hands placed on his face.I just need him to retaliate. I need him to show the world what he's made of.To my greatest surprise, he went on his knees. I had to shift back to avoid his hands touching me."I know I treated you badly, and I regret it. I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for treating you badly when all you did was love me endlessly. Please, Alisha. Come back to me! I swear I will treat you better this time around." I glared at him in disgust. I just wish I could hold his neck and snap the life out of him."Save your apology, dear Alpha. It's no longer needed. All I need now is space; I just need you to stay miles away! If you want me to forgive you, never show your goddamn face to me. Ever again. I no longer love you, Darien. Loving you is a thing of the past. All I feel towards you now is resentment. Just go and never come back." I
Chapter 34I'm so sorry, boss. I'm a changed person now. Please don't ask me to leave," Sonia pleaded, in tears."Go to the detention room and collect your resignation papers. I'm done with you. Don't let me come back here and find you because you won't find it funny," he picked up his phone and began heading out of the office. But Sonia crawled after Jim, attempting to grip his legs."Touch me and I will kill you!" he warned strictly."Please, I will do anything you want, anything, just don't sack me. I will do anything you want, just mention it. I will let you have me. Right here, right now, just don't sack me, please." Her boss chuckled."You will let me have you? Oh come on, I'm not sex-starved. Even if I was, I wouldn't go for a classless, cheap bitch like you! Oh, you think I don't know how you got screwed by all the guys in this company? Well, if you must know, I know everything, including how you got screwed real hard by David and Justin last year eve. They made a video of it,
Chapter 35There's no going back now, Alisha!" My eyes widened as I halted in my spot."That's not funny, Uncle Henry; you are scaring me," Daniel broke into another round of tears."Stop it, Henry! You are scaring my kid!" I threatened, hoping he would stop, but instead, he dropped the bags he was carrying and hastened his speed.Immediately, I dropped the tiny bag I was carrying so I could hold Daniel properly, and then I turned and fled. As I ran, I could hear his loud footsteps.Why is Henry doing this? So he brought us here to scare us or rather get us killed?I descended the stairs as fast as my legs could carry me. I got to the last staircase only to see another Henry standing in front of us.I became so confused that I had to stop running."What's up with you, Alisha? Why were you running?" I looked back again, hoping to see Henry standing just before the staircase; he was no longer chasing after us. He had a mischievous smile on his face. Slowly, he turned and left, just the
Chapter 178"It's the truth! What makes you believe I will let you rule the pack? Something I've spent my whole life dreaming of? I liked your father, and I was going to do the same with you!"A tear slipped down Henry's cheek as he watched his mom, realizing that the old lady had been leading him astray all along."Why? Why did you treat me this way? I've spent my entire life in sadness. You made me believe I must get the throne regardless of what it takes, so this was it? You are wicked, Mom; you don't deserve to live! You should die!" she yelled, grabbing the necklace around his neck."Please don't cut it; that's my life! If you cut it, then I'm going to get old. I'm way older than you all expected; this necklace has been the thing keeping me young. I'm way older than everyone here. I am old enough to give birth to the old alpha himself. Please don't do it—I’ve done lots of things to be able to achieve this because now I'm only steps away from achieving it. Please don't end me," sh
Chapter 177"Save whatever you have to say until we have settled everything. Don't add to my stress, please," he left her and stormed in.He tried entering, but the guard at the door stopped him."You can't go in.""Why can't I?""Please don't make things difficult for us; just leave," the guard told him.He reluctantly left.***"If you truly are the alpha's son, then prove it!""I don't need to argue with you! When the time comes, you will get hit really hard!" Darien chuckled.The old lady walked up to Alisha, who was standing not far from her. She tried holding Alisha's hands, but Alisha moved back, and boom, a favor appeared from nowhere and burned her hands. Everyone gasped."What just happened? It just came from Luna! Don't tell me the old lady was right; Luna practices black magic! Look at what she did to the woman; she burned her hand!" Alisha looked at her, but finding the right word to use, that never came from her."I didn't do it! She just came to touch me, and I moved ba
Chapter 176Writer's POV Emily, seeing everything was turning, began making fireballs with her hand, then proceeded to throw them at Alisha. Though she did it openly, none of them accepted it; Darien, Alisha, and Daniel saw it.Immediately she threw the fire, it ceased on the way; no matter how hard she tried, it still didn't work. Alisha, who was already anticipating the blow, quickly opened her eyes only to see that it was Daniel who was holding it with his eyes.They were shocked but still composed."This old lady here has been the one doing everything that's gone wrong in this pack. Why aren't you all worried about how she still manages to look young even after so many years? Don't you find it suspicious? She looked exactly like this before she died, and look at her today; nothing has changed. Do you think it's because she doesn't age like every other old person in this pack, or is there more to it?" "Don't just keep beating around the bush; tell us what you are trying to say."
Chapter 175Writer's POV;"After I heard it, I knew the alpha would be helpless if he eventually found out that Darien was not his son, so I decided to help him. I did what I did to save the throne from his lineage; so where did I go wrong?" She battered her lids."One thing I'm trying to get straight is why you've been quiet all these years. Why didn't you come back to lay this claim when he had no heir? Why are you back all of a sudden?" An elder questioned her."It's not that I didn't want to come back, but he threatened my son that he would get rid of her the very day he set foot in this castle.""Then again, why are you with this traitor? Isn't she supposed to be in prison? This can only mean you also have a hand in the supposed death of Luna," a maid said from the back. Though they weren't allowed to speak, at this point, everyone must speak out to prove them wrong."They have no hand in whatever happened to me. I was the one who chose to do it; it was a form of revenge for what
Chapter 174. Writer's POV "Fortunately for me, my wife just died. She used to live with me in the small cottage behind the castle. I had no other way to bury her, so I placed her in the coffin and rescued the queen." "You expect us to believe such a cock-and-bull story? Oh come on; we aren’t kids. Remember, they opened the casket and who we saw was the queen. She was the one in the coffin, not your wife, so butt out!" an elder snapped at the old man. "That's because after I woke up, I made her wear a mask that has exactly my face. That's how everyone came to believe I was the one. I was never dead from the start. Now I'm back to make my son resume his original position because Darien here is not the son of the late Alpha. I have witnessed that." All eyes widened, including Darien's and Alisha's; they didn't see this coming. "What nonsense are you talking about? If we must talk about people who don't belong to the Alpha, then it's your son. Henry is not my brother; I know that so w
Chapter 173One week later*The days went by as if nothing had happened.After they left that day, Darien had to take her to her parents' house to calm her angry brothers.They couldn't be happier. At some point, Daniel had to be proud of the fact that he never once agreed that his mom was no more; he said something inside him was telling him that his mom was very much alive.The news of Luna being alive spread like wildfire in the Greyhound pack, and out of happiness, Darien insisted they celebrate so the villagers who didn't get the chance to see her could come to see her.Michael was heartbroken because he had expected her to move on from Darien once she came back, but she did otherwise by still sticking to him. He couldn't be more heartbroken. Darien noticed it and tried talking to him, but he would just dismiss him, saying they would never be friends no matter what happened.Alisha never once succumbed to the idea; she insisted that it was way too early to celebrate.When they re
Chapter 172"Did anything happen?" She asked, twitching her brow."No not at all, it's just that we've sent two maids already and they both said you didn't open up, they even said it seems you weren't around" Emily replied briskly."Is this how these maids behave? They came here and I was having my bath in the bathroom, I was shouting really hard telling them I was having my bath but they didn't even hear properly instead they went about telling people I wasn't around, oh wow!""It's not like that dear, please don't blame them, we knew you were inside, and they didn't your voice because the room is soundproof""You knew I was Inside then why are you in a hurry? Don't tell me you are suspecting me of something, or rather you do t trust me, it's okay’'"No dear, that's not what I meant, I was only curious when they said you ain't in because you barely left the house, I'm not suspecting or accusing you""Fine, you shouldn't!" With that she banged the door, loudly making sure it sounded o
Chapter 171"Do you mind taking me along? I would also like to watch how he dies in Luna's hands, I can't forget how he causes me to suffer. If he hadn't grabbed my hands that day then I'd still be doing just fine, I wouldn't have lost my job but what did he do? He used me to win her back, do t worry I won't cause a scene""No, you can't come with me, I'm already defiling my mom by telling you this, if she sees you she might just get furious and do something she shouldn't have done, don't worry you will hear from me Even we are done with him" Dora shrugged reluctantly."If you say so, then I won't argue or drag this with you, just make sure to get revenge for me too, he also treated me badly" she blurted."Yeah, I will surely call you to come do it yourself when the time comes""If you say so""I've told you what you asked, didn't you think I need to be rewarded for going against my mom to please you?" He smirked."You deserve a huge reward, and you will get it soon, in a bigger way,
Chapter 170Dora walks out of her home to go meet her guest, earlier she had invited him over just like she had planned with Darien.When Henry was leaving his mom did everything he could to stop him but he just won't listen.He told his mom he was going out to get something."You came? I thought you wouldn't now that you have her In your hold""You know I can never do such a thing, I was only saying those things to please my mom, I used to love Alisha, but not anymore, it's you that I love and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.""Yeah, I know you would come back to Me that's why I called""Are you not mad at me?""Of course not, why should I be? I know you only said that in front of your mom to make her feel good, and besides I'm horny, I'm yearning to have you inside me""You are telling me you ain't mad at me? And do you mean it when you said you would let me have s*x with you?""No, I wasn't joking, You should know I never joke with such a thing, come on let's go in, I'
