Chapter 50**Alisha's POV****Next morning**I carried the empty cup out of the room, looking so tired. How Daniel got to know those things baffled me. I just hope he doesn't suspect that he is his father. I mean, what if he knows already? That kid is sure to be full of surprises.Something in me kept telling me to tell him the truth, but then I was stuck with the doctor's warning. He ordered me strictly not to say or do anything that would threaten him because of his health."As I walked, I bumped into someone.""I'm so sorry, ma'am," the voice apologized."It's okay," I quickly picked up the cup."Alisha, I've been calling you for some time now. Why haven't you been coming to work?" Anna, my colleague at work, asked; she's the one I bumped into."Something happened. My son got sick. As we speak, he's lying in a hospital bed.""I'm so sorry, dear. I'm only getting to know now. So sorry," she muttered sadly."It's okay; he's getting better now. We thank God," I replied briskly."Have
Chapter 51Alisha's POV;My eyes widened the moment he threw the question at me."I... I said that. But it seems you've forgotten. I never told you I don't know him. I only told you I don't have anything to do with him" I told him but he only ended up nodding his head."I understand Mom" he turns to Darien. Pls, go outside to talk with Mom. I'm having a headache.Happily, I got up and left. Without hesitation, they followed."Tell me what was the meaning of what you just did there? First it's Darien then you? Why can't you both just leave me be?" I question in anger."I... I don't think sorry will ease all the pain I've caused you but I just hope you would find a place in your heart to forgive me" My mother's husband, or rather my step pleaded."Just leave already! There's no amount of apology that will make me forgive you so just leave" Without a second warning I turned and walked away.***Darien's POV;"Now what did I get now? Insults? I know you only brought me here to embarrass
Chapter 52Writer's POV Dora forces her eyes open looking Around."You are finally awake. Wow, you are the lady who had the guts to ruin my plan? How bold of you!" Henry's mom chuckled, grabbing her face forcefully.‘‘I don't know what you are talking about, let me go!’' Henry's mom chuckled darkly glaring daggers at her."I'm not in your position to decide if you go or stay. That's mine to decide""Why did you bring me here? I haven't done anything wrong so let me go!" Dora struggled to break free but the rope holding her back was way stronger than she expected."Don't even think of escaping young miss, remove that idea from your mind!" She chuckled giggling."And who do you think you are to hold me?" Dora half yelled."I'm capable of holding you back and no one would notice you are missing! Just stay put and let me do my business with you!" Emery, Henry's mom blurted."I don't need you to order me around, just free me and let me go! I don't even know you, you can't just hold me ho
Chapter 53Alisha stood up to get the door. "Hey," Dora waves happily."Dora, it's been a long" Alisha smiles, hugging her."I just happened to see your name when I was checking the list of patients. I've missed you so much, Alisha. How come you left without telling me? It's not fair" Dora pouted her lips."I'm sorry baby girl, a lot happened. No one knew when I left, in fact, I didn't plan it myself. I ran away and that was how I was able to survive to date. I'm so sorry for not reaching you all these years’' "It's fine, it's all in the past now. I'm happy you are okay, I had from the castle maids how you left. Tell me what happened?" Dora asked, faking a sad expression.Alisha smiles."It's a long story but I will cut the long story short. After I entered the castle, I was brutally maltreated by the Alpha, you know the supposed work of a breeder right?’’ Dora nodded."He continued abusing me till I got pregnant, then one day I heard him talking to his beta how he would sell me out
Chapter 54Darien's POVBefore I could even say a word, Dora broke into tears."What's going on here?" Aisha questioned, walking out of the room."I didn't do anything wrong to him. I was only telling him he was wrong for treating you the way he did years ago. I was expecting him to feel bad or something, but instead, he began threatening me. I'm so sorry, Aisha, I didn't mean to confront you. I just feel bad for my friend and his kid; that was why I decided to confront you. Please don't kill me," Dora cried, to my almost surprise.Though I wasn't shocked, I was expecting something like this or even worse from her. I know she must make Alisha hate me so they can succeed in their plan, but this time I'm not allowing them to try anything funny."That's not what happened, Alisha. When I knocked on the door, she bumped into me. I ignored her and tried walking in, but then she blocked my path. I..." she cut me off before I could finish my statement."That's a very big lie, Alisha. Don't be
Chapter 55"What are you talking about, baby? I don't understand what you are saying. Come on, rest a bit more. The doctor said you need a lot of rest." I tried touching his forehead, but he moved away."Don't touch me, Mom! You don't love me like you claim." I could see tears in his eyes as he said those words."Don't say that, baby. Mommy loves you so much! Don't make Mommy feel bad, okay?" He scoffed. My eyes widened. This would be the first time he would be scoffing at me. I just pray I find a way out of this situation."Tell me, Mom. Why did you lie to me? Didn't you say you didn't know who he was? I asked you several times, but you denied it. Why?" I sighed tiredly. I should just tell him the truth since he's already aware of it. Lying at this rate will only make matters worse."I'm so sorry, baby. I didn't mean to lie to you; I was scared your condition would worsen if I told you in a hurry. I wanted to wait until you got better. I wanted to surprise you. I'm so sorry, Daniel,
Chapter 56She clenched her fist in anger and the maid started choking on nothing."You should learn to mind your business next time!" She tightened her fist in anger and the more she tightened her fist the more the maid choked.After a few minutes, the maid fell down and lost consciousness.The other maids gasped in horror."Anyone else? Who else wants to interrupt me?" She asked but the maids moved back fearfully."Good! No one should ever question me again! Except the person wants to lose her life this her" Dora pointed at the dead body on the floor.***Darien's POVI walked out of the hospital looking tired.I've been trying to convince her about her friend but she still refuses to believe me. She left an hour ago to get fruit for our son and I've been jisting with Daniel for the past hour. She came back just now and I'm currently leaving because I need to be somewhere by 9 pm.I walked out of the hospital only to come face to face with Henry.He had that mischievous smirk on hi
Chapter 57I was here when Dora came to me saying that the doctor was requesting to see me. I made sure the windows were tightly closed before I left, and I also closed the door. At first, I wondered why the doctor would call me at this hour of the night, so I followed her to be sure, and indeed the doctor sent for me!""Yes, I called you because I needed to ask you a few questions regarding his health. It's just that I can't recall sending a nurse named Dora; the nurse I sent was Grace. She's on night duty, so I happened to see her walk past, and then I asked her to help me fetch you.”"So you mean you didn't send Dora?" Alisha's eyes widened."I can't even recall any nurse who goes by that name," the doctor muttered."You see what I've been telling you about Dora? I just said this earlier today, and this happened. Just imagine if I had left the one you wanted me to," she sighed tiredly."Thank you, Darien. You've done a lot for me already; you just saved my son once again, and I'm g
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'
