A week after Gabriella got married to Alpha Ryder, she discovered that she was pregnant, even when Alpha Ryder hadn't laid with her.
Just as she discovered that, she was scared, wondering what to do. However, she recalled who was responsible for her pregnancy.It was no one else, but Julian.Julian was the man who disvirgin her. Sadly, no man had touched her, except for Julian.Unfortunately, Gabriella was convinced that if Alvina set eyes on her, she would find out everything because her fear wouldn't allow her to hide the pregnancy situation from Alvina.The best thing that popped up in Gabriella's mind was to get in touch with Winnie, the little witch girl, so she could help her.It was noon and Gabriella left her chamber to the pack gate. However, Ruthie, her handmaid, wanted to go with her, but she stopped her from doing so.On reaching the gate, she called out to the gatekeeper's leader, and he ran to her.“Yes Your Majesty, you can go ahead and tell me what you want a 12-year-old young girl like me should discuss with you.” said Winnie as she stood in front of Gabriella since she would rather not sit.Upon seeing how Gabriella refused to sit on any of the couches, Winnie assumed that it would be disrespectful for her to sit while her royal Majesty was standing. It simply means she was the master while Gabriella was the servant.Winnie would rather not want that to happen.Gabriella folded her arms above her chest and sighed as she gazed at Winnie with skeptical brows.“I have a crucial issue, Winnie, and I'm certain that only you can solve it. Please don't fail me, Winnie.” Said Gabriella with a calm voice.Winnie nodded and then said to her,“ I'm all ears, Your Majesty. I pray I won't fail you because we are all flesh and blood who are not perfect and can fail each other at any point. However, you can go ahead and tell me what's both
Later that day at night, Gabriella invited Alpha Ryder into her chamber, and he obeyed with grudges.It was as if Alpha Ryder was under the control of the two Lunas. He went to Gabriella's chamber not because he wanted to, but because Alvina insisted that he should go and attend to her.Alpha Ryder was lost because Alvina kept doing things to displease herself just to please her stepsister, which he feels isn't right. However, he was a bit convinced that Alvina might have a hidden plan that's why she was behaving in such a way.The Alpha king found himself standing in front of Gabriella, who was almost half naked as she stood an inch away from him.Alpha Ryder was frowning as though someone tied him there, denying him access to go out of the chamber. He folded his arms above his chest with complete hatred for Gabriella.“Why did you send for me?” he asked through gritted teeth with an angry face.Gabriella ignored his words and c
It was a beautiful afternoon when everyone was busy with one thing or the other. Deliana could be spotted in the palace's beautiful garden playing with the triplets in a shaded area to protect them from the sun.Gabriella stood in a far distance as she watched Deliana playing with the babies. She was burning in anger, hoping that she could end the triplets' lives. Gabriella hated Alvina and her children, as though Alvina offended her.Ruthie was standing behind Gabriella, and she saw how Gabriella was fuming in anger because of Alvina's children.Ruthie kept silent as though she weren't present, nonetheless, Gabriella knew that Ruthie was with her because she was her handmaid. So, she was meant to walk around with her because she might demand help any moment.The more Gabriella watches the little children playing with Deliana, the angrier she becomes.At last, something popped up in her mind and she smiled evilly befor
At night, Gabriella took Ruthie and sneaked out with her to meet Winnie for another evil plan against Alvina.Within minutes, they arrived at Winnie's house. “Greetings to you, Your Majesty. What have I done to deserve this visit?” Winnie asked as she bowed to Gabriella, as Ruthie stood behind her with a sad expression.“This isn't time for greetings, Winnie. Anyway, thank you for the greetings, but we should keep that aside, and let's focus on why I'm here,” said Gabriella with a giggle as she maintained her gaze on Winnie.“Yes, Your Majesty. What should I do for you?” Winnie inquired and finally lifted her head.“Thank you for that question,” Gabriella appreciated her and then folded her hands above her chest. She said,“ I would be glad if my handmaid knew what I'm doing, so she could be of great help to me.”“Yeah, she is meant to know a few of your plans, so she could help you achieve your goals.” Winnie nodded, lifted her
Now, just as Gabriella arrived home, Alvina went up to meet with Gabriella in her chamber.Although Alvina wasn't certain if Gabriella would allow her to enter her chamber, she just had to try it out.Just as Alvina was about to approach Gabriella's chamber entrance, Ruthie came out of the chamber.Immediately Ruthie stepped out, she almost bumped into Alvina, but she abruptly stopped and bowed as her entire body began to shake like someone who was beaten by the rain.“Greetings-greetings, Your Majesty,” Ruthie stammered as she maintained her gaze on the ground with her body quivering.Upon seeing that, Alvina began to suspect that something was wrong somewhere, but she couldn't tell what it was.Alvina was quiet for a few minutes as she intently stared at Ruthie with different thoughts going through her mind.However, Alvina tried to read Ruthie's mind, but she couldn't. Upon realizing that, Alvina was convinced that Ga
It was another beautiful day when every guard was in his designated position and the maids were busy with one thing or the other.In Gabriella's chamber was Ruthie standing closer to the king-size bed Gabriella sat on.Gabriella summoned her for the assignment she had prepared for her to carry out.“Here is the poisonous substance that was given to us by Winnie. Take it,” said Gabriella as she stretched out the poisonous substance for Ruthie to receive it from her.Fear gripped Ruthie and she could not receive the poison. She knew she wasn't ready for that, yet Luna Gabriella was forcing her to do it.“Forgive me, Your Majesty. I can't do this, please…” Ruthie cried out and fell on her knees, begging Gabriella not to implicate or involve her in such an evil act.Gabriella stood up from the bed and grimaced at Ruthie. “ I'm not asking you whether you want to carry out the assignment or not. It's a must for you to do, Ruthie. Remem
Deliana didn't say a word, rather, she shoved the thought off her head and went ahead to get water from the dispenser.After getting the water, Deliana turned around to leave, but Ruthie stopped her from walking away. “What are you doing, Deliana?” Ruthie asked as she stood in front of Deliana. “What do you mean, Ruthie? I told you that I was asked to get water for the triplets. Have you forgotten that?” Deliana grimaced at Ruthie, trying to use that as an excuse not to accept Gabriella's invitation.“Come on, don't be scared, Deliana. She won't hurt you. I think it's time-critical.” Ruthie pleaded with Deliana.“Okay! Okay! I will go, but I should deliver this water to Luna Alvina before going to Gabriella. Are you happy now?” Deliana smirked.“No, I'm not happy.”“Why?” Deliana frowned at her.“I promise you that it won't take up to a minute, and you are done, please. You just go and attend to her, and she w
After pouring the water into the jug, Deliana attempted to give it to the youngest child, whose name was Harry. Just as Harry was about to open his mouth to drink the water, their sister, Asher, burst into heavy tears, trying to hold the jug and drag it away from Deliana.Upon realizing that, Deliana quickly pulls the jug away, preventing Asher from touching it.“Hey, Asher, what's that? Allow your younger brother to drink before you, please,” said Alvina to her daughter, thinking that she was trying to overtake her younger brother.After saying that, Alvina expected Asher to stop crying and keep calm, but she didn't. Rather, she let out more tears, fighting hard to get either the jug or the glass cup filled with water.Unfortunately, to their greatest surprise, Asher didn't attempt to stop crying and fighting for the water.Upon realizing that Asher wasn't going to stop crying until she got the water, Alvina said to Deliana, “A
