Emilia felt a sense of achievement as she drove to her parent's house. She had managed to manipulate Alpha Nickolas and fulfilled her dreams of getting married to him.

Still stunned at her confidence out there, even when the girls were gossiping about her. She was surprised that she didn't react to them because she was short-tempered.

Stepping on the brakes, she packed her car at the garage. Emilia was welcomed by the sight of Sam and Camilla as she strode to the entrance, their faces beaming with joy.

Her lips curled into a smile as Camilla held up her hands for her.

"My daughter," Camilla praised as she pulled Emilia in for an embrace.

"You put him in a tight corner out there. You know that right?" Sam shoved his hands into his pockets, chuckling.

Pinching Emilia's cheeks, "I'm so proud of you. You are truly the daughter of Camilla Hoover. She gets anything she wants."

Emilia's face turned crimson at the sight of her parents happy... There was nothing she wanted o

    VALERIA The door flung open, and Miss Sophie burst into the room. She rushed to me, held my shoulders and stared directly into my eyes. Behind her stood Eve, who watched what was going on. "Mum, do you think it was food poisoning?" Eve scratched her nose before crossing her hands behind her back. Miss Sophie took a deep breath as she stared at me. "I don't think so." "You are adding weight," Miss Sophie lifted my chin before she stepped back. Confused, I looked down at myself. I didn't notice anything at all, I didn't know where Miss Sophie was directing, raising my face, I stared at Eve but she shrugged her shoulders, causing me to sigh. "I didn't notice anything," I hid my face with my hair. My knuckles turned white as I rubbed my clammy hands together. "When did this start?" Miss Sophie asked. My heart began to thud. I didn't know where this was leading, but one thing I made up my mind not to do anymore was lie to Miss Sophie. "Last we-" Before I c

    VALERIA I bowed my head in surprise, "I never expected to see you here," my voice shaking as I tried to grasp my breath. Concern filled his eyes as he stared at me from my head to my toes, scanning my drenched clothes as the water cascaded down my hair.I rubbed my hands against my freezing body for warmth, clutching my arms tightly as my teeth chattered."Oh! You." Nickolas gestured his finger at me. He squinted his brows, observing me as he took a step closer. "Munchkin. What are you doing out here alone?" "M..Munchkin?"A smile curled on his lips. "Can't you see you're short?" he teased.Prominent lines appeared on my forehead. "But I'm not that sh…" He cut me off between my words."Are you alright?" He asked, gesturing his hand at the water as I tilted my head in the direction of his hand.Forcing a smile, "Oh, that! I-I'm fine. I just got startled when you spoke." I stuttered, my face turning pale, embarrassed that I had fallen into the water.

    VALERIA I sauntered down the street, heading to the abandoned salt mine beneath Emberthorn in an attempt to stay away from all my problems. The heat emanating from the pavement was scorching causing me to wipe my sweaty brow as I tried not to gag at the stench of rotting garbage on the sidewalks. The walls were peeling, and weeds had taken over every crack in sight. As I stepped over shattered glass, a pungent odour of mildew, mould and urine filled my nostrils. As days turned into weeks and weeks into months, my stomach began swelling uncontrollably. Initially, I wrapped materials tightly around my belly for fear of being noticed by Emilia but now there's nothing I can do about it.It can't be avoided, so I decided to go open. I slumped myself onto an abandoned chair with my swollen belly gently pressing against my lap while exhaustion caused me to close my eyelids, my chin sank on my chest as I let out a deep sigh. Serving Nickolas and Emilia was a

Colour drained from my face when I realised he was my mate. Staggering backwards, his arms caught me, and his eyes bored into mine. His body language was on a whole different level. "Are you always this clumsy?" "It's not like I have a choice,"I hope he didn't hear me call him my mate. I'm still confused about how he turned out to be my mate.Has he been my mate for a while? Is he aware of that and went ahead to get married to Emilia?I never prayed for anything rough in my life... All I wanted was for someone to handle me so well in bed—to love me—to treat me like a woman. I never said I wanted my whole life to be rough.After clearin

    The sun seemed to have noticed how gloomy it was going to be today. In the halls of Brutus's home, there was a young boy who happened to be his younger brother. The teenage boy had a frown on his face as he made his way towards the sitting room, where he knew his brother, the scariest Alpha of all, would be. The guards guarding the place seemed to know who he was, as they made no attempt to stop him. "Brother! How could you?" He yelled, his medium-sized hands clenched into a fist as he glared at Brutus, who pretended not to hear him. "You're yelling..." Brutus stated calmly, sipping on the coffee in his mug while his gaze was focused on the TV. Balling his fists, the teenage boy with a head full of brown curly hair stumped his feet towards the table and slammed his hands lightly on it before picking up the remote. The television suddenly went off, and Brutus, who had been unbothered by anything his younger brother had been saying, suddenly grew mad. A vast difference from the man

    VALERIA FIVE YEARS LATER I sat in the garden, watching the sunset, my face etched with pain and sorrow. It's been five years since Emilia stole my baby from me, no matter how hard I tried to heal that wound, I just couldn't. Watching my daughter grow in the arms of my evil step sister kept opening the wounds I tried so hard to heal. I was so close to my daughter, but she had no idea I was my mother. It hurts. Every day I think of running away from here, but I just can't. I find myself coming back halfway. Everyday was a torment for me. I prepared meals, my hands trembled whenever I chopped fruits and vegetables, and I stirred pots. Five years passed, and I watched Giselle grow from a distance into a young girl. It ached in my heart that I wasn't given the opportunity to experience motherhood. Rather, people called me names and spread rumours that I was cursed... that's why I'm always unfortunate. They say it is an abomination for a woman to lose her child in the woods. All

Tears uncontrollably streamed down my face.I shuddered when a hand tapped my shoulders."Val? Why are you crying?" Eleanor asked.I whirled around and wiped off the tears on my face as I shook my head."It's nothing,"I could feel the eyes of people around me bore into me. Raising my face, I scanned around the room.I clutched my gown so hard that my nails pierced into my palm as I stormed out of the kitchen.I heard the sound of footsteps running behind me, but I didn't stop. My head was flooded, and I wanted to be all alone by myself."Val!" "Val... Valeria!"Eve's voice stuttered behind me... I had nothing to say to her.

    NICKOLASI strolled through the corridor, inhaling and exhaling the fresh air in my castle. It's been a long and stressful journey for me, and most times I feel like I'm not the Alpha of my pack because of how busy I am.I love to handle some minor issues myself, so they don't have to grow into something bigger that I can't control.I curled my fingers firmly around the door knob and the door to my office. It creaked open. When the door closed behind me, I rubbed my hand on my forehead and exhaled. I hoped to have a little rest before going to meet Emilia, else she'd go on and on about having another baby.I slumped into the chair. My eyelids drooped, and my chin sank on my chest. I slid to the edge of my seat and shuffled my feet beneath the table, staring out at the heavy downpour that drummed on the roof and windows.I laid my phone on the table, and it vibrated. Reluctantly, I picked it up and stared at the screen.I sighed deeply as I placed the phone beside my ear.I leaned back
