REGRETS IN BETWEENElijah was beginning to blame himself for having trusted Alpha Marcus with his niece, by selling her off to him.He expected that to boost their relationship even more since he had always made mention of needing a personal maid to himself, but no, all he could get in return was insults upon insults and the Alpha putting up a threat on his life.But he was never going to let that happen anymore, he had been calm all along with the Alpha all this while, but not anymore! And now that his mate was here also for the same purpose, it was going to be easier getting the Alpha to back down from any threats he had on his life.Elijah surely knew who he got mated to, and that was more reason why he didn't dare try to stop her from fighting the Alpha.Just a few more threats from the Alpha and her wolf will completely take over her and attack the Alpha, alongside his so-called guards."Can we have a discussion inside the manor?" Alpha Marcus suddenly asked, his voice unusually
Elena's pregnancy was getting more noticeable by the day and Garfield did everything he could to ensure that she had no casualties during her pregnancy.She was obviously acting up and giving Garfield a straight face because of the pain pregnancy caused her, so he let her be and instead, stayed close to her to watch over her.No matter how harsh she spoke to him, Garfield will never retaliate or make her feel less of herself, seeing the pain she was already passing through; this was something Marcus wasn't able to give to her all through her stay with him.And it baffled her how despite the fact she was having another man's child, Garfield still loved her and cared for her, alongside the baby she was carrying. "Guys, I have this feeling that there is no witch or wizard coming after us." Garfield said, peering at the other rogues. "We will encamp here tonight and leave tomorrow morning. My mate is almost due to give birth to her child.""I think so too, and I am certain that's a good
Alpha Marcus was still worried to see such hefty men who stayed with Elena. He was disappointed that his search for Elena didn't go as planned, nonetheless, he was still happy for the fact that at least he had seen her and knew her hideout."Who was that young man who stayed with Elena in the cave? What's his name?" He asked his guards, as he also couldn't make anything of the young man.The guards in return beat their palms, indicating that they also didn't know who he was; they were just as confused as he was. "I think we should pay them a visit some other time when the baby must have grown up a bit. By then, we would be able to question Elena about the man and she must provide us an answer." One of the guards suggested, but Alpha Marcus didn't welcome the idea."Nonsense!" He yelled. "That baby is my offspring and I can go find him anytime I wish to. I must not wait until he is fully grown and of age." He meant all he said, a lot of thoughts flooded his mind and he concluded that
MOST DIFFICULT SITUATION"Alpha Marcus?" Elena yelled inaudibly, almost speaking to herself, but the men overheard her and nodded their heads. She knew instantly that this was just the beginning of their troubles. Since Alpha Marcus already knew where their hideout was, he wouldn't hesitate to return with his soldiers and make sure he gets what he wants."No, no! I can't let this happen." Elena mustered to herself, but it seems the rogue wolves heard her, including Garfield who was now buried in his own thoughts.Levi glanced at her. "You can't let what happen? What's going on in your mind?" She asked. "I'm sure you don't know that man, do you?""Of course, yes I do know him!" Elena yelled back and held either side of her face with both hands. "That man is the monster who has always been after my life. And now, he wants to take my child away from me."Elena couldn't contain her fears anymore as she began to sob, giving way for tears to fill her eyes. Garfield, noticing her mood, ran
THE PREPARATION BEGINSAlpha Marcus put his ears down in case he would hear anything totally different from what he planned on doing. Asides that, his mind was already fully made up on getting back his baby, and not minding afterwards if Elena was dead or still alive.He has always needed an heir to take over from him and this was his best ever opportunity to make that happen since no other maid gave him what he wanted, exactly the way Elena did.He still longed to see Elena to some extent, but he didn't allow that deter him from getting his baby back. He was aware of the fact that Elena would never want to get back with him, and he was also not willing to stress himself over her; as long as his baby and heir was by his side, he could get as many other maids as he wanted, if at all he wanted to be satisfied."Buckle up your armor guys! We leave here by noon!" Alpha Marcus screamed at the soldiers who were already sharpening their various swords and getting their horses ready. There we
THE ENCOUNTER"Screw that!" Alpha Marcus yelled at the soldier and paced around the palace building. "We are set to leave and I wouldn't want to hear any stories. As for you, you will remain here in the palace and henceforth, you cease to be one of my soldiers."He meant just what he had said. He immediately began to step out of the palace, riding on his own horse while the other soldiers followed behind him.Their weapons were all glittering and ready to destroy anyone who stood by their way. As a result of how fast they rode on the horses in a bid to catch up with Elena and her cohorts, they arrived at the cave earlier and began to scrutinize everywhere in search of them.They got into the cave but there was no single person in there anymore, they had escaped to God knows where.Alpha Marcus held his jaw furiously. "I knew this was going to happen, I definitely knew it would come to this." He cried, beating his cheek. "If only we had left earlier than this." One of the soldiers who
Alpha Marcus shot them a glare and burst out in laughter. "How outrageous of you guys to have suddenly become intimidated by this little occurrence which just happened right now. Do you ever believe that the old woman meant what she said earlier? Or is it because of the manner at which she vanished after threatening your lazy asses?" They gave no response, they were still trying to recover from the shock of what had just happened. One of the soldiers finally spoke up after a long silence. "I don't think I can continue with this search anymore, my Lord. Permit me to return back to the palace and await your arrival." He peered at the other soldier who nodded his head in support of what he had just said. "That's right, Alpha Marcus. I don't think I can also continue, I have to save my life for those who care about me - my family and every other person who is counting on me." He said."Oh I see!" Alpha Marcus exclaimed and let out a smile. "It is I who doesn't have a family and also wis
Little did Elena know that Garfield had prior motives for asking her those questions. She didn't see it as a big deal since they had already gotten used to each other.Garfield sighed at her story and rubbed his cheek. "I'm sorry you had to pass through all that but it's all over right now because I'm here for you, always." He muttered and embraced her in a hug.Elena wiped her tears and replaced them with a smile. She paused and stared at Garfield, almost getting lost in his eyes. She fixed her gaze on him like she was waiting for him to say something to her. "By the way, why did you decide to ask me about this right now?" She asked. "I mean we have been together for a while now and you've never asked me all these. Why does it have to be now? What inspired you to ask?""Ah. Come on sweetheart, it just came to my mind now and I decided to ask and be certain. Have I done the wrong thing by asking?" Garfield quizzed, his eyes meeting Elena's."No, not at all. I was only trying to be cl
