Emilia.I walked gracefully into the mansion. I felt so good after the tour in Paris. The spa treatment there was top notch. My skin had this sparkling glow. It felt so good going on a grand vacation. The designer's bag I brought made me feel so good. I had shopped in the best stores around the whole world. It was either Luxury or nothing. I drove my way into the Mansion, in my Rolls Royce. Alighting the car, I glanced around the mansion with a smile on my face.The maids bowed their head in respect and made their way towards me to take the goods. The stench around them made me frown. They were so filthy to touch these goods. There was something with poverty–It has an annoying smell. What the f*ck!“Get your dirty hands away from me. Go get the rest of the goods in the trunk.” I said with disdain.My mom chuckled as she made her way towards me. She opened her hands widely for a hug. I smiled happily, I felt so good seeing her, it's been a while. She hugged me tightly squeezing m
Alexander.What the hell could be wrong with her? She was fine a few minutes ago. What happened? Why the sudden cry for help?Her Wolf's cry for help was alarming. This was the first time I had really felt the connection. A strong will pushed me out of my study into her room. The mating bond got stronger than expected putting everything around me to a pause.Seeing her in such a state gave me goosebumps. I fell on one knee, placing my hands beneath her body. Her skin was burning hot. I furrowed my brows in a frown. Holding her in my arms, I felt a pang of pain in my heart. I had no idea what had happened to her but the sudden call I got from her wolf made me dizzy.I couldn't control my emotions, I was engulfed with panic. My nerves were popping out in frustration. My entire existence was being questioned at the moment. There was no room for losing my mate. Her current state flashed through my eyes reminding me of the impending situation. There was no one who could take good care of
Isabella. My body felt like it had been run over by a train. I stretched my body lazily and scowled.I felt restricted around my left arm. What the hell was happening? I tried opening my eyes but they were disappointing me at this time. I struggled to free myself from whatever it was but this landed me in an ocean of pain. I let out a loud scream, I could perceive the scent of blood. My eyes shot open immediately. I traced the scent and to my surprise, I was the victim. My arm was bleeding profusely. I sat there helplessly, I had no idea of what could be done or how to stop myself from bleeding. Just now, I had carelessly pulled out the cannula through the ceaseless struggle. I had no idea that I would be in such a place. From the clear signs, I was in a hospital.The scene earlier flashed through my eyes. I observed my surroundings, searching for something to stop the bleeding. A few centimeters away from me, I found cotton wool. I walked towards it in a hurry, I placed my hands
Isabella.Why do I feel there was more gravity to what was being told? He dismissed the nurses who were present in the ward. While seated , I maintained silence observing his reactions. All I wanted to hear from him was what I could hold onto. I patiently awaited more explanations from him concerning my health status which enabled me to give it my full focus.I paid attention to every word he was saying. These words of his sound disappointing as it became unbearable to keep composure to my strength. With a sense of shock, tears streamed down my face, unable to control them. I have long predicted my fate, it was always from one misfortune to another which is something I have failed to accept. It was bad enough that I got married to the devil himself and now I am gradually wasting away. Disappointment clouded my heart as it began to pound so fast, giving me flashes of memories while he explained. This is nothing compared to what I had called my dreams knowing that there was once a tim
Isabella.“Is there anything else you would like me to do?” The doctor asked, cutting off the conversation I was having with my inner wolf. I raised my eyelids with a frown. “Get this poison out of my bloodstream as soon as possible. I want every bit of it out!” I commanded.“That won't be difficult, We have the right medicine to flush it out. And it would have to happen as soon as possible before the King's arrival.”“Then get it over and done with.” I commanded. With that he left the ward. The ward regained its silence once again. “How would I capture the devil's soul?”“Let's get the poison out of our body First and then I will tell you everything you need to know.”I could feel how resolute she sounded. Sure enough she had thought of something. “Can you track the Alpha King?” I asked.“Of Course we have every right to, don't forget, he's our mate. The mating bond gives us the connection we need.” She said proudly.Settling down my mind, I connected to his Alpha wolf, I felt a stro
Alexander.Looking at the pack of wolves standing in front of me I was rendered helpless. I had no intention of summoning them in the first place but here they are already. My howl had forced them over, I knew what it does to any wolf around, an Alpha howl forces them to shift involuntarily and respond to my call. I wonder what my wolf was so excited about. With a split of my vision, I glanced through the thick forest and then sensed that everything around me was at a stand still. Sure enough, the excitement has to do with Isabella. The heavy grip on my soul felt as if I had been cursed by a witch. It was as if she had casted a spell on me and I had no way out of it. Whenever I try to take off the heavy grip, it bounces back on me heavily Right now he was burning with rage, I could feel the anger brewing inside of me. For the first time ever, he was so angry at me. “You've summoned them over, what should I do?” I inquired. These werewolves were waiting for a valid reason for the s
Isabella.The looks in his eyes made me frightened. I could see that he wasn't convinced with what I had just explained to him. I wouldn't want him to find out about the poison in my system, sure enough he would kill my family and kill me as well. He already believes that my family had married him off to him knowing that I wasn't his real Bride in the first place. Now knowing that I had poison in my body system would worsen the whole thing. And sure enough, he would treat me worse than a maid. The near death experience had made me realize a lot of things. I was going to get back at them for every pain they had made me go through and I would serve them something worse than poison. Wherever my mother was right now, she would be in tears. All she has always prayed for was my well being . She had always been so kind hearted, but where did that put her? I had almost lost my life without even my own knowledge. If I had been back home, I would be dead by now. This only meant one thing,
Alexander.Hearing her address my royal abode as her home, it mad me feel pleased. But I had no way of showing it. There was something very different about her. Then she was nothing but a tamed cat but what I see now is a tigeress. I was so eager to know what had changed. What triggered this change? There had to be a story behind it and I would find it.“It seems you were so hungry to the point death.” I sneered. Earlier she acted so tough about the whole thing, looking at the empty plate it was obvious that she had been famished.She raised her eyelids looking at me, “And who is ro blame for that? That's because being the Alpha king doesn't change a thing. You might be wealthy but it happens that I starve right under your nose.” She smirked.Was she trying to provoke me? If that was her aim then it seems she has achieved it. How dare she taunt me? I was her King, her Alpha king. She has no right what so ever to talk to me carelessly. She had to be courting death. I moved closer to
Alexander's PovI glided into the dimly lit room, my presence commanding attention as I issued my decree."Take off the blindfold!"The moment the fabric was lifted, their expressions morphed into sheer disbelief. It was clear they hadn’t anticipated being caught. Their bodies shook, and their voices faltered, leaving them utterly astonished.I let out a hearty laugh, "Surprised to see me? Oh, Victoria... Evelyn, you two...!"The sight of their trembling forms only fueled my amusement. They were truly at a loss for words."I... we... how did we... I can't comprehend how I ended up here," Evelyn stammered, confusion etched across her face."Exactly, what on earth happened? How did we find ourselves in place?" Veronica chimed in, her eyes wide with fear. I couldn't suppress my laughter; their bewilderment was simply too delightful."Are you genuinely curious about how you arrived here? You want the truth, don’t you?" I asked, directing my gaze at Evelyn."You see, all this time, you bot
Evelyn's PovI refused to be on the losing end and have made all the necessary preparations. I meant every word when I said I would win Alexander back.I let out a bitter laugh, mocking Alexander's actions; if only he knew what I was capable of. I couldn't believe he would humiliate me to the point of throwing me out of his mansion. Incredible!It never crossed my mind that he was aware of everything happening and might even be involved."Is everything ready?" I asked as I called my hired assassins. I had positioned them as a backup plan, a Plan B, in case my attempts to approach Alexander proved fruitless.I became increasingly frustrated when I discovered that Isabella was staying indoors and not stepping outside the mansion. How could I execute my next plan with her behaving like this?Staying in the old mansion was wearing me down. Alexander's mother wasn't helping either; she seemed completely unhelpful at this point. From her words and reactions, it was clear she didn't want to
Isabella's PovIt's been two months since I last went outside, and while it's been dull, I haven't felt lonely with my maids around to keep me company. As I sat in front of the mirror, I told myself, “You don’t have to be sad forever.” I smiled at my reflection, appreciating how pretty I still looked despite my current situation. “Look at you…” I said, placing my hand on my belly as I stood up to take a good look at myself.A smile spread across my face as I gently rubbed my belly, feeling my baby bump. I let out a deep sigh of relief; it has been challenging to keep my pregnancy a secret.Just then, Katie walked in and asked, “Thinking about something?”“Not really, I’m just amazed at how quickly time flies, Katie.”We all burst into laughter. Thanks to Leah, Katie, and Maya, who have been so supportive, I’ve managed to handle everything without worry. They’ve helped me keep my pregnancy hidden, and now I’m uncertain about what my next steps should be.It feels like a relief to know
Alexander's PovI have firmly taken my position regarding Daniel. I was unaware of his past relationship with Isabella, and frankly, it doesn't concern me—it's all in the past. What matters to me is the future, and right now, I know that Isabella is mine and mine alone.Since I have already claimed Isabella, I don't care what plans Daniel might have.I tried to gauge Daniel's level of determination and concluded that there's no way he can win Isabella back or take her from me. If she were to run away with him, I would definitely find her, hurt her, and make sure she couldn't leave me again. She would have no choice but to stay with me forever.While I was lost in these thoughts, I struggled to manage my emotions. My argument with Daniel had left him furious, and I needed to calm myself down. So, I headed back into the hospital towards Isabella's room.I had instructed my men to keep quiet about the incident to ensure that Isabella wouldn't hear anything about it. Everything that happe
Evelyn's PovA smile spread across my face as I arranged for my luggage to be taken in.I sat beside Alexander's mother and offered her a massage. I kept smiling, but my mind was racing with thoughts. I didn't want to end up on the losing side after everything that had happened.Since I had already claimed my place in Alexander's heart, I was finally back to reclaim it.From her expression, it seemed she was enjoying the massage, so I decided to take a risk. "Mom, I'm sorry for leaving without saying anything.""It's been five years, Evelyn—five long years. From what I've heard, your breakup with Alexander was quite severe. You nearly destroyed my son. He became a shadow of his former self and refused to explain what really happened. Can you tell me what went on?" she asked.Hearing this filled me with joy. Despite the pain I had caused him, he never spoke ill of me to his mother. It seemed Margret still viewed me as she did in the past.I started to think of how to explain things to
Isabella's PovI woke up in an unfamiliar place, trying to make sense of the blurry images around me. I pressed my hand to my forehead as a heavy sigh escaped my lips. My head throbbed painfully, like I had been in a wrestling match.I shut my eyes, attempting to grasp my surroundings while also trying to soothe my aching head. "What’s going on? Where am I?" I asked, unable to remember how I ended up in such a strange location.Suddenly, a sharp realization hit me: I was in the hospital. I lifted my head slightly in search of some comfort, but my heart raced with anxiety. I remembered the events that had unfolded earlier. "Father! Alexander!" I shouted, recalling that I had brought my father here. But why was I the one lying in the hospital bed?My worries intensified; something must have gone wrong. But where was everyone?I wore a confused expression, grappling with the questions swirling in my mind. I felt an odd sensation within me, as if it was linked to my inner wolf."Why do
Evelyn's PovAs I prepared to head to the airport, I made sure my belongings were neatly packed and everything was in order. I didn’t forget to present myself well, looking sharp and smelling delightful. If there was one thing I was certain I wouldn’t part with, it was my stunning outfits and exquisite perfumes. Thankfully, he hadn’t taken those with him.“Are you coming along?” I asked, striding toward the car that would take me to the airport.“Absolutely, I’ll see you off,” she replied.“That’s not what I meant. I’m asking if you’re coming with me to meet Alexander.”“Evelyn, I can’t do that. You want to have a moment with Alexander, and my presence isn’t necessary. Besides, you’ve already compensated me for my last job. I’d only be in your way. Let me handle things here while you pursue your goals,” she responded.Her answer caught me off guard. “You’re coming with me,” I insisted. I was so accustomed to her company that the thought of her staying behind felt dull.“I’m really sor
Alexander’s PovWhile at the hospital, I settled into the VIP ward to get some rest. My time in Isabella's room was quite absorbing. I had to allow the doctor to do his job while also needing some quiet moments to reflect, even as my heart raced.Thoughts about everything I had witnessed kept swirling in my mind, and I couldn't tell if things were spiraling out of control or not.At that moment, the doctor arrived with some reports. “Mr. Robert needs a heart transplant,” he informed me.“A heart transplant?” I echoed. I was taken aback by the news, but it didn’t really concern me. It sounded nothing short of dreadful. Why was this even my issue?“Is he really deserving of a heart transplant? I doubt it!” I thought to myself. I couldn’t shake off memories of his past misdeeds. Given how he had treated Isabella, he certainly didn’t deserve it.“Inform the family,” I instructed, leaning back on the couch.“Excuse me?”“You heard me correctly. Tell them about his condition and that he nee
Daniels PovAt some point, peace found its way back into my being. I leaned back, a smile spreading across my face as I surveyed the documents laid out before me. The wave of contentment washed over me, unstoppable and overwhelming.I examined the papers, delight bubbling within me, even though I had previously torn some to shreds in a fit of frustration.“Daniel…!” I scolded myself. This is how I react when anger takes hold, so I quickly dialed my secretary. “Please, get me copies of those documents in the stakeholders' names immediately. I need to review them while I have the chance.”As I waited patiently, a flurry of thoughts swirled in my mind. “It truly is a small world,” I mused with a deep sigh.Who would have imagined that upon my return to the country, I would run into Emilia Robert?I chuckled in disbelief; the mere idea of crossing paths with Emilia felt like a twist of fate, a nod from the moon goddess herself. It seemed she was smiling upon me this time. Just think—how w
