ROSELLE'S P.O.V.It's been two days since I saw Skylar. At first, I thought the Alpha King had ordered for a break due to her current condition, but hearing the gossip which came from one maid to another, it was obviously clear that something was wrong."What's going on?" I asked Diva who just finished listening to one of the gossips."Skylar is nowhere to be found.""Since when?""Since two days ago. Everyone suspects doctor James since he was the last person she was with before she went missing.""Doctor James will never adopt Skylar. He so much loves her to even think of hurting her." I defended."I thought as much too. If he wanted to hurt her, he wouldn't have rushed her to the hospital. He heard he kept going to check on her and he was the one who brought her back to the pack house.""So why would everyone think he is responsible?" I queried."Now Alpha Denver has given him twenty four hours to find her or he'll have him responsible for her disappearance."I hummed. "Why do I ha
ROSELLE'S P.O.VDiva had to sneak into the kitchen to get some bread for Skylar to eat. Skylar, on the other hand, was breathing like she'd die any second from now. I was scared to the bones, I wasn't ready to watch her die. Doctor James, on the other hand, made sure she didn't pass out as he kept on checking on her pulse. Then he gave me a bowel containing warm water with a dried towel which I sank into the warm water, then I placed it on her forehead."I… I…" she tried to speak but I told her not to."You need to get some rest first. You need to eat, you don't look healthy.""Let… let me talk… please… let me…""We know. We know Mrs Kate and Jennifer are responsible for your disappearance." Hearing this, she was calm. "I knew they kept you in the basement. I remembered when we used to hide there from Mrs Marie so I knew the basement was the only place they must have kept you." I couldn't stop the tears from rolling.Thankfully, Diva was back. I gave Skylar one piece of bread to eat.
SKYLAR'S P.O.V"I knew he'll never believe us, it all ended just as I expected." He hissed."There's nothing to be worried about, no matter what we say, he'll definitely not listen to us as long as those two women are concerned." I snorted.Little did we know that Roselle and Diva had been waiting patiently for us. "What did he say?" Roselle asked inquisitively. "What was his reaction?""Did he scold you?" Diva added, looking more curious. "Or was he happy to see you?""Happy?" Roselle and I said in unison."Seriously, Diva?" Roselle rolled her eyes then turned to look at me in anticipation for a response."Well, he didn't believe us. He thinks we are lying, and he promises to punish us if he learns they are innocent."Roselle laughed. "They'll definitely deny it, and they'll make him see reasons why they are the innocent ones and doctor James is the guilty one.""You guys shouldn't bother about me. The least Alpha Denver can do to me is banish me. As long as I didn't go against the p
DIMITRI'S P.O.V"Dimitri!"I jerked up, breathing heavily. As I turned to my side, I felt disappointed upon seeing Lilian laying beside me. She's always the first thing I see each time I thought of Skylar, and it was annoying that it always has to be this way."Hey, is everything alright?" She whispered, her hands wrapped my waist. I could feel her breast against my back, her breath fanned the skin of my neck. "Had a bad dream?"I sighed. "I don't feel like sleeping." I mustered, standing to my feet.She frowned. "Is something troubling you? You know you can talk to me."I stood, looking at her. There's nothing to talk about. Thinking about Skylar, having her image always displaying in my head has nothing to do with her. Hearing her call my name from miles away is totally none of her business."It's nothing." I walked away, heading for the bathroom.I left the bathroom, walking towards my wardrobe, finding new clothes to wear."Did I do something wrong?" She asked. "You've been avoidi
SKYLAR'S P.O.VIt's no longer news when it's already everywhere that Jennifer would be celebrating on the 17th of this month which is next week.The way Alpha has been treating her, more like she was celebrating tomorrow. For three consecutive nights they've been going out for dinner.However, they were definitely going out tonight which wasn't a surprising thing to me anymore since Jennifer has been saying it more like a song. The way she keeps praising Alpha Denver, most times I wonder if he was Zeus himself. I went to inform the chef that the Alpha was hungry. Jennifer demanded I should also serve her as she was hungry too. I had to give her a second glance, I knew I had asked her a few minutes ago if she was hungry. All she said was no. Then suddenly, because the Alpha King was hungry, she had automatically grown hungry too.I took the tray of food to the Alpha's room to serve him his meal. I was about to leave when Jennifer yelled. "What's the meaning of this?"I turned to see
SKYLAR'S P.O.VChef Vivian watched me carefully as she stirred a pot of simmering soup. Then she wiped her hands on her apron, her eyes arched with concern. "Skylar," she began gently, "I can't help but wonder... does the Alpha King know about the child you're carrying?"I hesitated, my eyes darting around the kitchen. "No," I finally admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'm not planning on telling him. I know that if I did, Alpha Denver would ask me to... to abort the child."Her eyes widened in shock, but she quickly composed herself and reached out to gently touch my arm. "Skylar, you must understand that pregnancy can't be hidden forever. How do you plan to hide the bump?"I took a deep breath, my lips curled into a small smile. "Actually, the doctor assured me that everything will be fine. He's helped me come up with a plan to disguise the pregnancy for as long as possible."Chef Vivian nodded in relief, her face brightened with a small smile. "That's good to hear, Skylar.
DIMITRI'S P.O.VI couldn't tear my eyes away as she walked out of my office, her wet dress clinging to her body, revealing a hint of her exposed hip. I tried to push the thoughts aside, my efforts were in vain as I found myself unable to stop thinking about her physicality.In stark contrast, Jennifer had a slim, model-like figure—a shape that I found quite appealing. Yet, Skylar's body was the opposite, neither thin nor fat, yet she possessed an undeniable stature. Her curves and straight legs seemed to magnetize my attention, drawing my gaze longer than I intended.I paused. For a moment, I tried to recall the initial reasons that led me to summon her. I was certain to have a reason for calling her, but as I watched her leave, those reasons seemed to disappear into thin air. I left my desk to the window, sniffing in the cold air of the evening breeze. I couldn't explain myself each time she was looking at me, there was this different feeling I always felt each time I saw her.I was
SKYLAR'S P.O.VI thought I was dreaming when I started feeling pain in my chest. But I realized it wasn't a dream as the pain silently increased.I wondered why I was feeling this pain for no reason, and I could feel the pain on my cheek like someone had just punched my face.All the maids were eating at the dining. Not the royal dining room, don't get me wrong. We were all having a very fascinating conversation for the first time in weeks. I wasn't paying attention as I tried to subside the pain I was feeling.At first, I thought it was the fever rising again, but when the pain seemed to increase only in some parts, it was something else."Are you alright?" Roselle asked, touching my hand."Uhm... I'm not sure. I feel kinda strange inside." "Strange like?" I sighed. "I don't know.""You all have to hurry up, the Alpha King is on his way back home." Mrs Marie notified. Then she looked at me, "I'm specifically talking to you, Skylar."I ate my food, trying to ignore Roselle's concern
