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 36 "But what?" The doctor adjusted his glasses as if he was finding it difficult to say what he wanted to say. "But what, doctor? Go ahead and tell me what happened to my son!" I half-yelled. "Please, Mr. Can I talk to you for a moment?" The doctor faced Henry, who then faced me. "Hold on, Alisha, let me have a word with the doctor. Calm down, okay?" Henry told me. I shook my head, indicating no; I wasn't going to let them say anything behind my back. "Say whatever you have to say here! Daniel is my son, and I deserve to know whatever happens to him!" I insisted. "Fine, he was brought in here a little too late. I noticed he's having kidney failure; he will need a donor. He's a kid, so we should act very fast if we want him to survive this stage. Although he's fine, he's unconscious, and I can't guarantee you he will be waking up anytime soon. From what I've noticed, he might stay in that state for up to three months. Well, just focus on getting a donor for him while you
Chapter 37Alisha's POVI peeped into the hospital room from outside since the doctor ordered me to remain outside.Seeing my son lying down unconscious made me tired.I blame myself for agreeing to go with Henry in the first place. I should have refused to go inside when I saw that building. My instincts kept telling me something was off about that building, but I still chose to ignore it. Now look at where it has ended up.A nurse walked out from the door, closing it behind her."How's my son doing?" I asked the nurse, but she ignored my question and walked away. Soon after, she returned holding a plate filled with medical supplies."Nurse, is everything okay? How is my son doing?" She glared at me in anger."Stop disturbing me, madam! You can see we are trying our best. I'm tired already; don't add to my anger!" she blurted rudely before entering the room again.A tear slipped down my cheek. What did I do wrong? Why was she yelling at me? Did I do wrong by asking how my son was far
Chapter 38"He will die if we don't find a match for him after one week." My heart skipped."Tell me it's a joke. Tell me nothing will happen to my son.""I can't assure you that, ma'am, but we are trying our best.""Please, doctor, you can just take my own and give it to him," I blurted."Well, I'm sorry, ma'am, but at this moment you aren't fit because of your condition. You already look sick. Taking one of your kidneys is like giving you a death sentence," the doctor explained."But doctor," I protested."What about your husband? Can't we use his?" the doctor questioned."He only has one, and he's not the father," I replied sadly.While Drake gave one of his kidneys to his late wife, who later died."Then what of the boy's father? Go get his father; he is in a better position to save the boy." My eyes widened. How the hell was I supposed to go to the father? That's impossible."The father and I are no longer together," I managed to say."That doesn't matter now, miss. If you want y
Chapter 39Writer's POV "Wait? Did he just mention that my son is sick? Why didn't she tell me about it? Does she prefer losing him to letting me know about it? Does she hate me that much?" Darien asked Wren, who chuckled."You expect her to tell you after everything you did to her? Come on, Darien, life doesn't work that way. Even if she refuses to forgive you, I won't blame her," Wren added."So what do you suggest we do? Drake didn't even give me the chance to ask further questions. How do we know the hospital he was taken to? How about we just try calling him again?"Wren nodded and picked up his phone, dialing the line again, but got no response. After trying eight times with no response, he gave up on calling Drake."We just have to do this alone. He's already done enough by calling to inform you. You know Alisha would never have permitted him if he'd told her he was doing this without telling her," Wren told him."So what should we do now?" he asked again.He's always fond of
Chapter 40 Hospital Henry walks in smiling widely; Alisha looks at him and then turns away."Hey, Alisha, I'm sorry for not showing up since morning. Something urgent came up; that's why I couldn't come back in the morning. I'm sorry. How's he doing now?" Alisha ignored him."I know you are mad at me, but you have to listen to my explanation. I didn't mean to treat you this way." Alisha chuckled and looked up at him."It's fine, Henry. I wasn't complaining. I know perfectly well that you have your own life to live other than going around with my kid and me. Drake just left; I wasn't alone; he was here throughout the day. He came just after you left. You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine." Alisha fakes a smile."And what about Henry? How's he faring?""The doctor said he only has one week to live. They are currently looking for a donor. I just pray they find one soon; seeing him in there breaks my heart," she sniffs.Henry wanted to hug her, but he remembered what his mom told h
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'
