Chapter 70Alisha's POVI smiled for the umpteenth time as I looked at myself in the mirror.A month has already passed, and I must confess these past few months have been the best of my life. If anyone had told me Darien could be this sweet and caring, I would have doubted the person, but now I've seen for myself; he's clearly the sweetest man on earth, just exactly what I wanted him to be from the start.Since I moved in with him, I haven't seen or heard from Henry, and I still feel very guilty about it. I feel like I'm being ungrateful, but Darien keeps assuring me that all will be well. He told me it wasn't my fault that he chose the wrong path.In the past few weeks, Darien has been suggesting we have a proper wedding, but I kept refusing the idea. After giving it some proper thought, I've agreed.Currently, we are preparing for Wren's marriage anniversary. Today marks exactly five years since he married his wife."Mom, you are taking so much time in there! Just come out; let's g
Chapter 71Darien's POV;I looked at the person I had just seen to confirm that she was the person I thought she was.I'm very sure the person I saw earlier is my childhood friend Sandra, but what's she doing here? I haven't seen her for eight years now. She completely forgot about me when she got married; her showing up here is for no good.I followed the dark corner she took."Hey, cutie!" I heard a voice behind me. I quickly turned only to see her standing right beside me."What are you doing here? How come you are here and why are you acting so creepy?" I asked, glaring at her."I just happened to attend the party with his wife's sister. I didn't know you were here as well," she lied. As if she didn't know Wren is my best friend."You could just tell me you missed me and came back to see me. Don't think of lying; I know it when you are lying," I chuckled, and she smiled."Okay, okay, I came over because I missed you. It's been long. You didn't even bother checking on me, yet you c
Chapter 72Writer's POV"Please, Alisha, calm down. I can explain..." Darien ran after Alisha."What is it that you want to explain? The fact that you were kissing your best friend or the fact that you acted like I didn't exist?""I'm so sorry, Alisha. I didn't mean to. She was the one who kissed me. Please believe me.""I'm not doubting you, Darien; I dare not doubt you. If I were the one kissing a guy, wouldn't you react the same way? Just go back to her and free me!" Alisha snapped."She's gone already. She only did that because she missed me a lot. I didn't even know when she kissed me," Darien defended."No way! You don't need to explain. I'm not telling you to explain. I'm leaving! And I'm taking Daniel with me. You can just follow her wherever she is! I don't care, Darien; I don't give a f*ck!" Alisha snapped and then stormed out.Darien ruffled his hair in frustration.***Alisha stormed out of the building, ignoring the calls from Wren."Please, Alisha, you have to calm down
Chapter 73"What are you doing here? Didn't we agree that you'd sleep in the room while I slept here? Please, Darien, don't come here to add to my anger. Just leave, please." Darien went on his knees before she could complete her statement. "I know I wronged you once again, but please, Alisha, find a place in your heart to forgive me. I didn't know that she was going to kiss me. Please, Alisha, forgive me.""Forgive you? I'm tired of forgiving you! You do whatever you think is fit, then come back to apologize like I'm some sort of machine that doesn't have emotions! I'm fucking human, Darien. I have feelings. You can't just do whatever you like and then come back to apologize simply because you knew I was going to forgive you! Just leave already," she tried walking out, but he grabbed her hands."Just this once, Alisha. Give me another chance to make things right. I would never do anything that would hurt you. Believe me!" Alisha scoffed."Yeah, the same way you just kissed your ex.
Chapter 74Writer's POV:Drake hummed a song as he broke the last egg onto the plate.He was about to pour it into the hot pan over the fire when his mom rushed into the kitchen."I told Lisa I was joking when she told me you were the one cooking! Why would you be the one cooking? Where's your so-called fiancée?" His mom half-yelled."Not again, Mom. What's wrong with me cooking? I didn't ask you to cook, did I?"She hissed."Is this how she plans on treating you when you finally get married to her? She's not fit for you, son. Can't you just see it?""She's the one who usually does the cooking. You know I'm supposed to be in the hospital now, but I can't just wake her up or stress her. You know we had a really wild night yesterday, so she's tired. I didn't want to disturb her, so I'm making this breakfast to serve her in bed, then help her take a bath before I leave," he smiled happily, adding to his mother's annoyance."Is this what she's turning you into? A babysitter? What have I g
Chapter 75"That's what you concluded in your mind this morning to come tell me?" Drake chuckled."Drake! Don't talk to her in that manner!" His mom snapped."How should I talk to her? Do you want me to plead? What the hell is wrong with the both of you? Wait, Mom, have you always been this way or are you only doing this to piss me off?" His mom scoffed as she dished the remaining food from the pot."Here, baby, he made you breakfast. Don't mind how he's been acting towards you. He's not usually like this... He's only being shy." Lisa wiped her tears, then moved closer with the intention of hugging him, but the glare he gave her made her halt in her spot."It's high time you wake up from this slumber. My mom was only playing with you when she told you I was going to marry you. Think of it, Lisa, if you are dating a guy and his mom brings in another lady, how would you feel? Bad, right? That's exactly how my girlfriend feels at the moment. Just go home, Lisa; you will find someone who
Chapter 76Alisha's POVI walked out of the house only to see Henry standing there waiting for me.I wondered if the guards didn't see him or if they just allowed him in on purpose. It was after I asked the guard that I realized he told them I called for him... But when did I do that? I hope he's not here to implicate me."What are you doing here, Henry? So you finally got tired of snubbing me?" He smiled, a smile I could tell was fake."Funny how you just acted like we've never met after you got back with my brother. I don't deserve this, Alisha."I was watching a movie with Darien when I was told by a guard that someone was looking for me. Darien insisted on following the guard, but I managed to convince him to let me handle it.Now I'm here to meet Henry, the same guy who's been playing my son and me."Can't I come to see you again? Or has he stopped you from seeing me? I know he's always this way," Henry chuckled."I'm not here for this, Henry. I called you several times, but you
Chapter 77Outside the Pack"What? Did he get his wolf back? How did that happen? You see what I've been telling you, Henry? You shouldn't have let them get back together. Getting her wolf back is only because they reconciled. I tried stopping this, but you just won't listen! See what you've caused; now it will be very hard getting him down!""How is it my fault? You were the one who chose to get Dora into our game despite me telling you she'd ruin things for us. She's ruined everything, so why are you blaming me? You always blame me for every single thing that happens!""It wasn't my fault either, Henry. I thought she was going to do better. I didn't know she'd ruin everything for us. Let's just sit and plan something else. You can't give up now.""Don't you think killing him will get harder?""Not with me here, not when I have the wolf bone," she smirks."What? Do you want to use it on him? Don't you think that's a bit harsh?""It's not; it won't kill him at once. He will suffer in
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'
Chapter 169"Here this way," a guard led them to the dungeon."Here it doesn't look like a dungeon; no wonder the bitch is still alive," Sonia lied. Even a fool would never say that; she's only saying it for saying's sake."Don't say that, Sonia. It stinks so bad here. I think you should just go back and wait for us outside. We will join you shortly; don’t worry, we won’t waste much time," Bethel told her."Hell no! There's no way I'm leaving without seeing the bitch who dared that shit!""It's not good for your health, and you know it.""Don't worry about my health. The odor here is not bad; in fact, I think it's good. Let's just go and see her ugly face; don't worry about me.""Are you sure you will be fine?""Yes, I will be fine."They got to the place, and the guard pointed at the cell where she was kept. She was already looking so dirty and unkempt; she looked thinner than she was yesterday. Well, like the maid said, they've been starving her. They only gave her food once yesterd
Chapter 168Next morning*The loud bang on the door forced the guard in charge to quickly run to the gate. He needed to know who dared to bang the gate so loudly so early in the morning."Can you just stop knocking already? I'm there already," the guard said."Hell no! I will continue knocking till you come to the gate!" Michael blurted.The guard finally opened the gate."Who are you? And how dare you bang on the gate so hard? Does this look like your parents' house?" the guard jibbered, giggling."Yes, this is my father's house, and I have the right to knock however I like; you don't tell me what to do!" Daniel said from behind."I'm sorry, my prince; I didn't know it was you.""Obviously, you wouldn't know because you are blind! You even asked us to leave; you asked the prince to leave his own house. Do you want me to report it to the alpha?" Sonia smirked rudely.Well, like they planned, they tagged her along, but their dad refused to let them leave their mom behind. She's already
Chapter 167Don't say that, dear. He's still your dad. It won't be good if you have no parents," Bethel tried to convince him."I won't mind. Mommy and I had been on our own before he came. Mommy never wanted to forgive him. I was the one who said I wouldn't talk to her again if she refused to forgive him. He promised me he would take care of Mommy and me. That's why I forgave him. I didn't know it would turn out this way. If I hadn't convinced Mom, then she would still be alive. I hate myself for forgiving him.""Don't say that, dear. You shouldn't blame yourself for what happened. You did what every kid in your shoes would do. Don't blame yourself, please.""I thought he meant everything he said to me. I'm so sorry, Mom. If I hadn't asked you to come back, then you wouldn't have died. Please forgive me." A tear slipped down his cheek."It's okay, dear. You don't have to blame yourself. Your Mommy wouldn't be happy seeing you this way. Remember you promised her you'd always be a stro
Chapter 166 You mean he told you all that?" Bethel asked."Yes, for a while I was speechless, though I didn't let it show.""From what I've noticed, he doesn't look that wicked. I guess it's truly situations and all that that turned him into what he is. And about Sandra lady, have you chosen a day for us to go visit her? Don't worry, I won't lay a hand on her; I only want to discuss a few things. We can also tag your mom and Daniel; it will make them feel better. At least they will tell her their minds, and it will help them.""So you suggest we go see her at the castle? What if Darien doesn't allow us? Remember, we've never been there before.""He's already in a tight spot; he dared not tell us no. Remember, he's doing everything possible to prove he has no hand in what happened, and also, he needs to do this to prove to Daniel that whatever happened wasn't his fault. Turning us down is just like proving the rumors to be true. Don't worry; talk to them anytime they are ready, and we
Chapter 165So tell me about the Darien guy; what should I do with him?" Alisha asked, walking towards them."Oh my dear, you are here! I'm happy you have finally come to your senses. I thought you were just going to sit back and let your husband go scot-free after what he did to you!" Emily blurted."And who said I'm fighting against my husband? I don't even have what it takes to fight anyone, not even the so-called Darien, so what makes you think I'm fit for this?" Alisha chuckled."You are fit, dear. You have everything it takes to achieve this; you just haven't found out yet. But not to worry, I will help you learn how to utilize your power.""My power? Who told you I have supernatural powers? Because I can't remember telling you I have...""Well, you don't need to tell me. I knew it the moment I saw you. I'm not like any other wolf out there; I'm special. I can detect anyone with any sort of ability, and I know yours so well. Just don't worry; with me here, you will get to know t
