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 beforAt 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
After spending a few time with Alvina, Ruthie left Alvina's chamber.With fear, Ruthie went to Gabriella's chamber, pondering what she was going to tell Gabriella, so she would understand her, and not punish her.Ruthie found herself standing before Gabriella with her body quivering and her head bowed.Gabriella gazed at Ruthie with skeptical brows, assuming that something was wrong, and Ruthie was there to report it.“What's it, Ruthie?” Gabriella curiously inquired with her arms crossed above her chest.Upon hearing Gabriella's voice, Ruthie quickly fell to her knees–head bowed with a sad expression.“Forgive me, Your Majesty,” Ruthie cried out as she let tears flow down her cheeks.“You haven't answered my question, Ruthie.” Gabriella smirked, “What's it? Talk to me.”Gabriella hastened towards Ruthie. She grabbed Ruthie's jaw and angrily lifted it, so she could see Ruthie's expression.Gabriella grimaced at her as they gazed at each other.At last, Ruthie sniffed and responded,“ A
“Yes, I know,” Gabriella chuckled,“ that's why I want you to keep it secret. Do you know why I told you the truth?”The doctor shook his head as he maintained his gaze on Gabriella. He was no longer scared to look her directly in the eye again.Gabriella sighed and then walked back to the king-size bed. She sat on it and crossed her legs with her gaze fixed on the doctor who was sitting in front of her.“Well,” Gabriella began,“ it's because I'm preparing for the future. I might give birth to my child and someone might suggest that we should do a DNA test, and I believe that that's where I will be caught. For this reason, I want you to get prepared in case such a thing comes up, you may be able to manipulate the DNA test and falsely claim that the child is Alpha Ryder's child. Can you please do this for me…?”“Forgive me, Your Majesty. I can't,” he quickly rejected it, attempting to stand up from his seat.“Hey, sit back!” her hoarse voice echoed in the chamber, causing the doctor to
A week later, Gabriella approached Winnie alone at night, without taking Ruthie with her.“Are you certain that that wasn't a plan from Ruthie? Because I don't trust that maid. How on earth did Asher throw the poisoned water away without knowing what was inside?” Winnie disagrees with what Gabriella told her about the failed mission.“That's precisely what I said, but she insisted that she didn't do that. So, I let it be that it wasn't her fault. However, the annoying thing was that she used the entire poisonous substance at once, leaving nothing with her.” Gabriella complained.“You see why I said she's suspicious, right? Why did she use the entire poisonous substance at a time? The powder could have been used more than four times, yet she used it at once, so she wouldn't be asked to poison the kids again.”“You know what, I have a new plan and I believe that this particular one will work out,” Gabriella announced to Winnie.“And… what could that be, if I may ask?” Winnie curiously in

“No, Your Majesty. Don't do this to me, please…” Gabriella pleaded.“Please, Your Majesty. Forgive me. I don't know what I was doing. It was an assignment given to me by my late mom. That's why I couldn't tell if what I was doing was good or bad. Nobody will take care of my grandma if something bad happens to me.” Winnie also cried out as she fell to her knees and began to weep.“Forgive me too because I have made up my mind to punish you both because you have no good reason why you did all you did to my family. However, I eliminated my family members when I was a kid not because I wanted to, but because Winnie's mom used me to murder my family members. As if that weren't enough, her daughter is also trying to kill everyone. That alone is enough to punish her.” Alpha Ryder explained.After so much pleading, they got tired because Alpha Ryder wasn't ready to listen to them.At last, he commanded. “ Beta Hudson, throw Winnie into the cell, where she will spend days and nights without fo
It was as if Gabriella knew about this day, that's why she bribed Dr. Elvin a long time before now so that he could lie.Gabriella was always ready for anything that came against her. Who could have thought that she already had agreement papers that stated that Alvina would get kicked out of the Black Soul pack if the DNA test turned positive in favor of the Alpha King?Without thinking twice, Gabriella ran to a box well-kept in her walk-in closet. She opened the box and brought out a paper that had a few write-ups on it.“Here it is,” she extended the paper and a pen to Alvina,“ sign here and His Majesty will also sign here. That's all.”“No, I'm not signing anything, Gabriella…” Alpha Ryder wanted to refuse because he wasn't convinced that they would win the case, but Alvina cut into his words.“We would sign it, Your Majesty,” said Alvina as she lightly placed her palms against his chest and smiled at him.Alpha Ryder didn't say anything, rather, he nodded his head and sighed, conv
“Your Majesty, are you trying to accuse me about what I don't know, huh? What made you think I would do such a thing? Am I a kid?” Julian spoke with a hoarse voice, causing Alvina to feel guilty for accusing him.Nonetheless, she was ready to find out the truth about the newborn baby to be convinced that it was only a dream, not a revelation.“You know what, we need a DNA test for this, Julian. We need to find out who is truly the father of this newly born baby. You all should follow me to Gabriella's chamber,” Alvina announced without seeking anyone's permission.Immediately she said that, she began moving towards the door.Julian couldn't argue, as he could see how serious Alvina was about the whole thing. He never wanted them to find out about it, but here he was at the edge to be found as the man who impregnated Gabriella rather than her husband.Julian looked at Alpha Ryder with a sad face and his hands akimbo. “You heard what she said. Let's go, Julian,” said Alpha Ryder as he
It was a month since Gabriella gave birth to her son. In the past month, Gabriella tried everything possible to make Alvina feel unsettled in the palace.Gabriella had been mocking Alvina since then, thinking that Alvina might get tired of her and seek divorce from the alpha king since she had no child, nor was she pregnant.Even when she kept doing that, Alvina ignored her, knowing fully that Julian told them that such a thing would happen once they carried out their plan.However, after Gabriella had given birth, Alvina had been having strange dreams that she couldn't explain what they meant.Everything seemed confusing and unacceptable to her.“I need to talk to you, Your Majesty,” said Alvin to the alpha king, who was sitting on his throne with his life-saving staff in his right hand.Alpha Ryder stared at Alvina with skeptical brows for a few minutes. At last, he nodded and signaled the guards who were standing beside him to leave, so he could discuss it with his wife.“As you wi
“Thanks for the information. Please inform them that I will be there soon,” Jake responded to Beta Alfredo.“Okay, Your Highness. I will do just that,” Beta Alfredo bowed once more before he turned around and left Jake's chamber.Jake peacefully looked at his Mom and said to her, “You don't have to bother about Gabriella, Mom. I'm always here for you, regardless of what.”“Thank you, Jake,” Eleanor muttered as she hugged her son.Within minutes, they were out of Jake's chamber to the playground, where everyone was waiting for the new alpha king to be crowned.Immediately, Jake and his Mom stepped into the playground, one of the elders quickly stood up and announced their arrival.“Here comes the future Alpha king. Let's all bow to him,” the old man announced, and everyone obeyed.They all bowed and welcomed Jake and his mother. However, some pack members were murmuring, but Jake didn't notice it.After welcoming them, they sat at their usual places and the Alpha king's seat that was p
Now, it was another day for the celebration of the full blue moonlight celebration, and Jake Radford was ready to be crowned as the new alpha king of the Blood Stone pack.The entire werewolves of the Blood Stone pack were in the playground, celebrating under the blue moonlight, as they always do.As usual, new werewolves were learning to shift for the first time as they were guided by some elders of the Blood Stone pack.On the contrary, the remaining elders of the pack were in the throne room, getting ready to crown the young Alpha king as planned.The young man could be spotted standing in his royal mantle inside his chamber, ready to be called upon by the elders.“Bro, I can't believe that is becoming true. To be honest, I never saw this coming. Anyway, congratulations once more,” Jake's friend Riley confessed as he shook hands with Jake.“Thanks, man. I never knew that my dreams would turn into reality so soon,” Jake Radford responded to his friend with a wide smile displayed on
After discussing which maid to assign, Alvina apologized to Julian.“Forgive us for doubting you, Julian. You shouldn't blame us for this because it isn't easy that you will see your children lying dead, and you won't feel hurt even though you know about it.” Alvina spoke with a calm expression as she stood a few inches away from Julian.Julian rolled his eyes and took his face away from her direction as he folded his arms above his chest.He pretended as though he weren't going to forgive them, yet he understood what Alvina was talking about and the pain she felt at that moment.“Come on, you should understand what she's talking about, Julian. All we ask is to forgive us, and we promise that such a thing won't happen again.” Alpha Ryder pleaded with Julian, who was yet to say something.At last, he responded and said to them, “Well, who am I not to forgive you when we're all humans who make mistakes? So… I have forgiven you, but such a thing shouldn't happen again, please.”“I promis
“Ohh… so, you have no idea about what you did wrong to my family, huh?” Alpha Ryder grimaced at him.Upon noticing that Alpha Ryder was outraged, Julian shivered, thinking that he wanted to harm him for doing nothing wrong.“Look!” Alpha Ryder called for Julian's attention and pointed at the triplets, who were lying dead on the bed. “ Are you happy now that they're dead, huh?”Julian stared at the lifeless kids for a minute before he finally responded to Alpha Ryder.“What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Didn't we discuss this yesterday? Wait, was that why Her Majesty wanted to attack me? Why are you both talking as though we didn't discuss this?” Julian fearlessly fired back at the Alpha king.“Is that what you're saying, huh? You never told me that they will become lifeless for a long time like this. This is five hours now since I discovered that my kids are dead, yet you don't want me to be bothered, huh? Do you know the pain I went through just to bring them into this world?
