CHAPTER 8I pushed the door open and stormed out of the room, my anger boiling over. I couldn't believe it. She left without my permission. My heart tightened, and I clenched my fists as I walked down the hall.'' Wren! Wren!'' I roared as I glanced around, searching for her, but she was not in sight. The guards bowed their heads as I passed, but I paid no attention to them."Wren!" I called one last time, and he appeared almost immediately, breathing heavily. "My Lord," he said, bowing his head."Have you seen Alisha?" I asked, locking my gaze on his face. "No, my lord," he replied. "The last time I saw her, she was in your chambers," he added, and I bit my lip, running my fingers through my hair in frustration."Are you telling me she escaped without you noticing?" I questioned, and he took a step back, his voice shaky."Y-yes, my Lord. But we will find her! Please don’t punish us," he pleaded. I turned away with a loud sigh, placing my hands on my hips.I could picture her laughing
CHAPTER 9What if this is her plan to make me pity her, and turn against my pack? What if she's trying to manipulate me? I nodded my head at the possibility, and my heart tightened as I fixed my gaze on the door.No one would dare to poison anyone in the palace, under my watch. Why did it start to happen now? Isn't it obvious?And to sum it all up, she's found in my library. What took her there? My mind wandered back to the day I first met her. She was mysterious, beautiful, and seemed to be hiding secrets. I remembered the way she looked at me, the way she smiled... and I wondered if I had misjudged her all along.I gulped down, pushed the door open, and walked in. '' Not under my watch,'' I muttered, shutting the door behind me with a bang. My eyes drifted to Madam Nelly, who quickly sprang up from the chair as soon as she saw me.'' My Alpha, you're here. Welcome to my abode.'' She greeted me and bowed her head, but I ignored her and began to stride towards Alisha.I found her lyin
CHAPTER 10I opened my eyes slightly, and my breath caught in my throat as my eyes met with that of Darien, whose nose was inches from mine. I felt butterflies in my belly as I realized he was about to kiss me.Really? I couldn't believe my eyes. '' Does it mean he's forgotten about what happened?:' I asked myself, and for a moment, we stared at each other. His hot breath fanning my face.Suddenly, he pulled off, and my eyelids fluttered open. I saw him twitch his jaws. With fisted hands, he got up from the bed and turned his back to me, placing his hands on his waist.'' How long were you planning to pretend?'' He asked, causing me to blink my eyes rapidly. What does he mean? I couldn't get a grasp of his words. The last thing I remembered was being in the library and the drink....!My eyes widened, and memories began to flash into my mind. '' Was the drink poisoned?'' I asked myself. Slowly, I sat upright and was about to speak when he turned to me with a blazing gaze, causing me
CHAPTER 11I watched as Wren stormed out of the room. If only the Alpha would just calm down and allow me to explain myself. The thought of what his reaction would be when he came back clouded my mind. With my mind finally made up to accept whatever cruelty he lashes out at me, I jumped onto the bed tiredly. I needed to sleep; I had to prepare for what was to come tonight."Who permitted you to sleep on my bed, you lowlife?" His angry voice forced me to open my eyes. I quickly stood up from the bed, balancing on my feet. With my head bent to the floor, I muttered, "I'm sorry, my lord." I heard him chuckle. "If you don't mind, I will take my leave now." With my head still bent to the floor, I tried to walk past him, but he grabbed my hands, furiously flinging me back to the bed as if I meant nothing. Why in God's name is this guy treating me this way? "And where do you think you are heading? Did I permit you to leave?" His gaze darkened as he glared at me. "I, I..." I stuttered, not
CHAPTER 12I slowly twisted the doorknob, hoping he would take pity on me and ask me to wear one of his dresses, but that never happened. Instead, he yelled at me, "Don't tell me you want me to throw you out myself!" Knowing fully well he's capable of doing what he just said, I ran out of the room, naked. My boobs were dangling. Everything was exposed. I prayed silently that I wouldn't meet anyone, but as if it was all planned out, a group of guards, about six of them, headed toward my direction. My skin crawled as I felt their eyes on me. At that moment, I was forced to believe that the alpha actually planned this so he could shame me, but why? What in God's name is my offense? "She's so fresh; I just wish I could grab those boobs and suckle on them," I covered my boobs with my palms in shame. "I'm just imagining how good my tongue would feel if it found its way in there," he pointed at my V. I quickly moved my hands from my boobs and used them to cover my V. The rest made their sil
CHAPTER 13I quickly freed him when I realized it myself. Apart from being my beta, Wren has been my childhood best friend, and this was the first time I would be touching him, and I felt bad. "I'm sorry, Wren. I didn't mean to," I tried touching him, but he moved back. I withdrew my hands, looking at him as if I was expecting him to say something, but he never said a thing. His dark glare nearly sent me beneath."I let my anger take the best of me. It's a mistake." He only chuckled and mumbled, "It's fine; you are the Alpha after all." With that, he stormed out. He just called me Alpha of his own accord—something I usually have to remind him or even force him to call me. I clenched my fist angrily. It's all because of that witch! If she had gone out when I asked her to, then none of this would have happened. I will surely make her pay for this. I kicked the bed repeatedly, venting my anger on it; though I was the one feeling the pain, not the bed, but that's the least of my problems.
CHAPTER 14My heart raced as I watched him approach. I looked around, searching for something I didn't keep, and luckily I sighted a metal pipe lying just a few distances away. I smirked, and his eyes widened; I knew he might be wondering why I was chuckling even though I knew I was in a deep mess."Stay back! Don't you dare come close!" I yelled but only got a smirk in response."You haven't learned your lesson, have you?" He grabbed my hands, pinning them to the floor with one of his hands in a way that caged me underneath him. Then he used his second hand to caress my breasts. Don't tell me he plans on making out with me on the floor. No! Not when I still feel a lot of pain down there.Fortunately, he had brought us closer to the metal when he was grabbing me, so I could easily access it. As he lowered his mouth to my breasts, I quickly grabbed the metal pipe, hitting him hard on the head with everything I've got. He whimpered in pain as he fell beside me, holding onto his bleeding
Chapter 15 Alisha's POV:It's been hours since the maid left; she promised to pick up the plate but hasn't.I slipped into the nightwear I saw in the wardrobe. It fit me so perfectly that I almost thought it was made for me.I climbed into bed, forcefully closing my eyes, but no matter how hard I tried, sleep refused to come, so I jumped out of bed and decided to walk around the castle since I'd barely gone anywhere since I arrived. To be sincere, I wasn't doing it because I wanted to. I was scared the devil would come back looking for me; I knew he would surely pay me back for planking his head.As I walked along the corridor that leads out of the castle, I heard his voice; he was talking to a guard. Without a second thought, I pushed the door beside me, barging in regardless of not knowing what was inside.Immediately I turned, what I saw next forced me to shout in horror. An aged woman was seated dejectedly on the floor, saying some strange words. What caught my eye was the human
Chapter 80"It's you? It's been a long, good afternoon," Drake smiled at Alisha."Yes, I requested to see you. How have you been and how's she?" Drake smiled happily."She's been fine. Trust me, having her is the best thing that happened to me," Alisha nodded."What happened? I was told you brought her to the hospital by a nurse. Is she okay?" Alisha asked, and the smile on his face disappeared."She fainted all of a sudden," Alisha's eyes widened."Don't tell me you are stressing her," Drake bent his head, thinking of how to tell her his fears."No, not that. She just fell all of a sudden, and it has something to do with her memory loss. I'm scared; what if she regains her memory and suddenly wants to leave me?" he asked, his voice sad and broken."That would depend on how you treated her during this past month. Just pray she doesn't remember suddenly," Alisha told him."She's been fine, but I'm still scared." Alisha touched his shoulders."It's okay.""Who's the man to you? I mean t
Chapter 79My stepdad was lying in his own pool of blood.I had second thoughts about going in to check if he was still breathing, but after some time I summoned the courage and went in.Seeing that he was still breathing, I pulled out my phone and dialed Darien's number. Even if he's a bad person, there's no way I would leave him to die this way.I looked around and saw the knife lying on the floor, then I realized that he had been stabbed—by whom?It was then I heard faint footsteps from behind. Then I knew I wasn't alone in the room.I stood up, only to see a lady, whom I guessed was his wife, standing behind me holding a knife with a deadly smirk playing on her lips."I wanted to kill him alone, but now that you are here, I think it's better to end you too," she chuckled."Who are you and why did you do this to him?""Do this to him?" She chuckled."Don't skip my questions! Why did you stab him?" I half-yelled, and she scoffed."I stabbed him because he deserved it! After everythi
Chapter 78Writer's POV***Drake's mom (Mrs. Mandes) dragged her bag into her house, looking really angry. The husband who was seated in the sitting room stood up to meet her at the door."You finally came back after spending the whole week there; I thought you'd stay back there and get married to your son," Mr. Mandes teased his wife."What's the meaning of that silly joke? What do you mean by staying back there to marry my son?" she hissed in anger."I've heard all you did to Drake's fiancée. I'm happy you finally got tired of trying to ruin a relationship you didn't build. Welcome," the old man went back to his seat."He told you? That ungrateful son of mine!" she hissed again."He didn't. In fact, I haven't heard from him since you left, and I believe it's due to how you were tormenting him and his fiancée," Mr. Mandes chuckled."If he didn't tell you, then who did?" She rolled her eyes, glaring daggers at her husband."Lisa; she came here yesterday and told me everything that ha
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 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 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 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 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 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
