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, “AAfter 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
After pondering about what Winnie said, Gabriella asked,“ Are you certain that Alvina won't find out? I'm also unsettled that the seer might find out if the Alpha king invites him over. Because I know that the pack doctor won't find out the cause of the sickness. How convinced are you that this will work out, Winnie?”“Your Majesty, please keep in mind who I am. I'm more powerful than anyone who has powers in this pack, including the seer. What I can't tell is that I'm finding it hard to discover who is protecting Alvina.” Winnie responded with assurance that she wouldn't be caught.“You say so…?” “I didn't only say so, Your Majesty. What I said earlier is nothing but the truth,” said Winnie while rolling her eyes.“Alright, I don't think what we're discussing is that important. Kindly proceed to what I'm here for.” Gabriella complained.“Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do just that.” Winnie nodded and then proceeded with her incantations.After reciting the incantations for a few min
“No, Alpha Ryder. It's not yet time for you to die, please…” Alvina cried out and quickly stood up and ordered Beta Hudson, “Get Jada as swiftly as you can. Tell him that the Alpha king is at the point of death. He should hurry to the palace, please.”“At your command, Your Majesty,” Beta Hudson responded as he bowed to her.Just as he was about to leave, he took one of the palace guards along with him.Unfortunately, Gabriella was yet to go and check out how the Alpha king was doing. She pretended as though she weren't aware of what was presently happening in the palace.She decided to stay back in her chamber, never caring to know whether the Alpha king would survive or not.However, she was certain that Alpha Ryder would not die, following what Winnie told her.The only thing Gabriella was curious to know was when the sickness would be transferred to Alvina so she could die instantly. That was all she cared about.Now, after a few minutes of eagerly waiting, Jada finally arrived at
In the middle of the day, Gabriella found herself in Winnie's house, trying to get clarification about the letter that was presented to her by one of the palace guards. “Winnie, what was that for? We are yet to finish with our previous plan, and you're bringing this to me?” Gabriella yelled at Winnie.“Forgive me, Your Majesty. Keep in mind that these powers of mine are not generated by me, rather, I get them from the dark invisible spirits. If you don't do that, your son will never be the Alpha king after his father. Please keep in mind that he has elder siblings, and the eldest will claim the throne after their father's death.“It is lawful that the eldest child in the royal family is to take over from his father after his death, making it impossible for your unborn child to lose the chance of becoming an alpha king. However, if you insist that your son must be crowned as the Alpha king after Alpha Ryder's death, then you must be ready to do what is demanded of you, Your Majesty.”
“Bro, I'm afraid that you might lose your life one day because of this. Why did you accept to do such a thing because of money? You shouldn't have done that.” Julian's friend, Everett, inquired, sympathizing with Julian for his support of Gabriella's younger brother to become the next alpha king of the Blood Stone pack.This was the hidden truth about Winnie's plan to eliminate Alpha Austin Radford which Winnie failed to reveal to Gabriella.On the day Gabriella's younger brother, Jake Radford received Julian's contact from Gabriella, he called him and revealed to him his plan to claim his father's throne.Jake knew that he wouldn't be able to do that alone, that's why he sought Julian's help. Of course, someone had told him a few things about Julian, and he knew what he was capable of doing.Since the day Jake found out that Julian was mingling with his elder sister, Gabriella, he worked hard and found out everything about Julian.When the thought of becoming alpha king at an early a
Now, in the Blood Stone pack, Jake Radford could be spotted in his chamber moving up and down, pondering about something best known to him.One could easily tell how distressed he was because of his appearance.“Damn! Is this young man not coming as we arranged? Why is he taking longer than he should?” Jake complained as he continued to pace up and down in his chamber with his hands tucked behind him.However, just as he shut his mouth, a light knock came on the door, calling for his attention. With haste, he gestured towards the door, convinced that it was the person he was waiting for, even though he hadn't seen the person.Immediately he opened the door, his sad face was replaced with a happy expression.“Thank goodness you're here. I have been expecting your arrival,” said Jake Radford to Julian, who was standing in front of him.“Yeah. Thanks for being patient, Your Highness.” Julian apologized with a calm voice.“No need for an apology. Just enter and let's get into business.” J

“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?
