Ethan's POVI sat on my chair enjoying the cool breeze of the evening, I couldn't stop thinking about what the witch said to me the last time we spoke, was she telling the truth? Was Eleanor truly dead or was she lying to me? Many thoughts raced through my mind. There was something about her reaction when I told her about one of my spies seeing Eleanor in the human world, her face carried an expression that I didn't understand.I have waited each day for my guards to bring me good news but it's the same story. I was becoming impatient, and the feeling of wanting to see her, to look into her face and tell her she couldn't hide from me was weighing down on me."Good day my lord" a familiar voice jolted me back from my thoughts, I raised my head to look at the person who had just walked in. My eyes lightened up with a little hope when I saw the spy whom I had asked to look for Eleanor since my guards had proven useless to me."Do I look like I am in the mood for greetings" I replied rud
Eleanor's POV"Oh, mummy is here," I said cradling my crying baby, he had been crying for a while now and I wanted to put him to sleep, I paced around the room patting him on the shoulder gently so he could fall asleep. In no time I noticed he stopped crying, so I raised his head from my shoulder to see if he was sleeping."That's my baby" I muttered to myself as I carefully placed him on the bed, using the blankets to cover him.I paced around the room after putting my baby to sleep, it's been days since I was brought here, and they have been treating me nicely and taking good care of my baby, but I couldn't help but feel a sense of unsettledness, I don't know the reason why I was brought here, I am not allowed to leave the house or talk too much with the maids. It's almost like I am a home prisoner here.King Derek hasn't made any attempt to hurt me, I just couldn't help but question his motives. Why would he treat me and my baby well after taking us against our will? Was it all a f
King Derek’s POV I transformed back into my human form immediately when I saw that Eli had fainted out of fear. I had only transformed to scare so she wouldn't disobey next time, but I was surprised it got to her well.“Take her to the room and call the doctor to check if she is okay” I gestured to the guards. “Get me a new set of clothes from my room” I added.There was this strong feeling lingering on my mind as I watched them carry her out of the room, I couldn't understand it, it was almost as if I had pitied her, which was confusing to me. I haven't felt any atom of sympathy towards anyone for a long time, but there is something about her that makes me want to protect her.I knew this feeling was going to be a problem for me, if I can't bring myself to hurt her how can I complete the sacrifice for the ritual? I thought to myself.“Here you go my lord,” one of my guards said handing over the set of new clothes to me, I collected it and motioned for him to leave, as I changed into
Eleanor's POVI inhaled heavily as I suddenly became conscious. I opened my eyes quickly and all that came to my mind was my baby. I turned around to see where he was, and my gaze fell on my baby, lying perfectly beside me, sleeping. I heaved a sigh of relief, wiping my forehead with my palm. I was back in the room I was kept before as I looked around. I exhaled slowly, feeling disappointed at my failed attempt to escape from the palace.My mind wandered off suddenly to the last thing I saw before going unconscious. I breathed heavily as memories of him transforming into a mysterious animal flashed in my mind. My face was pale and drawn, my eyes went wide open with terror, and my hands trembled gently. At this point, I was breathing quickly and shallowly, and my heart was racing. I could not help but think about it. I could not get it off my mind.He is a beast and a monster. I must be careful and wary around. I must not let him harm my baby. I thought in my mind. I turned to look at
Alpha Ethan's POVI paced around the house rapidly with my hands clenched into a fist. My eyes wide opened, and my lips pressed against each other. My breath was heavy and unsettled. I inhaled and exhaled rapidly as I was running out of breath. I clenched my teeth as if I were trying to crush a thing in my mouth. How can King Derek win again? I have tried so hard to make him a loser, but it seems each time I try, I end up being the loser. I hit the wall with my fist and yelled out of anger. I stood there momentarily as thoughts continued to fill my mind. This was not how I planned this. Why was everything not going according to my plan? I wondered. After trying so hard for Eleanor to hate King Derek, she only kept liking him more. She even followed him back to his palace. I moved from the wall and continued pacing around the room. I was getting frustrated by the whole situation. Why was Derek always hindering my plan? Why was he always standing in my way? These questions filled my m
Eleanor's POVI sat on the bed momentarily as I could not understand what he had said. He does not know why he has not killed me yet. I thought. Why has he held me and my baby captive? I kept asking myself the question without getting an answer. My heart raced fast as I bit my lower lips, shaking my head slowly. He turned around, and I heaved a sigh of relief, thinking he was about to leave the room, but he only started to walk around the room.“Is he asleep again?” He suddenly asked as he went close to the window, looking outside. Words ran out of my mouth as I sat there dumbfounded. I only managed to nod my head in affirmation, but he didn't seem to notice I nodded, and he asked again.“I said is he sleeping again?” He asked, but this time with a sharp tone, accompanied by a bit of anger. I knew better than to nod again at this time. “Yes!.” That was all I could force myself to say. His words continued to reverberate in my mind. I could not take my mind off it. He already had the i
Ethan’s POVAs I paced back and forth in the room, my anger consumed me. Restlessness coursed through my veins, making it impossible to find a moment of peace. Every step I took felt like a release of pent-up frustration, I had been waiting for the witch for what almost seemed like forever and she was nowhere to be found. The weight of it all pressed down on my chest, making it hard to breathe, and think clearly.My mind was a whirlwind of chaotic thoughts, each one fueling my anger further. I clenched my fists tightly, feeling the tension in my muscles as I desperately tried to contain the storm brewing inside me. But it was no use. The anger was too overpowering to be tamed, I checked my time again and again wondering why she wasn't here yet.I have questions that only she can answer, I need to know how on earth Eleanor and King Derek both lost their memory of each other, That act can only be the work of a witch and I couldn't think of any witch powerful a enough to do that spell an
King Derek's POVI sat there on my chair in my office, lost in thoughts. I placed my hand on my chin, stroking it gently as I hummed lightly. My legs, shaking gently as different thoughts ran through my mind. I jolted from my reverie instantly as my eyes when wide open when I suddenly remembered I had some unfinished work. I stood up quickly from the chair and walked to the drawer. I brought out some piece of paper and walked back to the chair I was seated earlier.“What are all these?” I whispered as I looked through the content of the papers, exhaling slowly. It was the record of the finance of the palace. I did seem to understand a thing written there as I flipped through the pages. “Why is the profit margin not correlating with the total funds recorded here. There is tax evasion too.” I asked myself loudly in the office. I paced around the office slowly, holding the papers in my hands. I have to call the head of finance. He needs to do a breakdown analysis of the total money spen
Eleanor's POVI breathed in and out inhaling the sweet unique air of the human world, I never knew how much I missed being here until now."We are almost there, I am so excited," I said happily to King Derek, as we drove into Zora's neighborhood, my heart raced with anticipation King Derek had granted my wish of going to the human world to Zora, I was so excited and I have anticipating this day for a very long time, I miss Zora so much and I can't wait to hold her in my arms. I know she might have been looking everywhere for me and my baby and she would be so happy to know that we are fine."We are going to see Aunty Zora soon," I said to my baby whose attention was on his feeders, I have finally stopped him from breastfeeding and decided to start giving him baby food, I can't have two people sucking my breast. "Here we are, remember Zora doesn't have to know anything out of the ordinary for her" kind Derek reminded me, he had told me not to tell Zora about our world to protect her
Eleanor's POV"Don't cry, little baby, mummy is here," I said to my son, who was crying loudly, I don't know why he was crying because I had fed him already. I guess he misses his father. "Do you want to see Dada?" I asked smiling, he paused and looked at me for a while before he continued.As I sat there, gently patting my son's back, a wave of happiness washed over me. Weeks had passed since King Derek's victorious battle against Ethan, and the memory still filled my heart with pride and gratitude.I looked down at my son, his tiny fingers wrapped around mine, and couldn't help but smile. He was a testament to the strength and love that King Derek and I shared. His presence was a constant reminder of the triumph we had achieved together. Who would have thought I would be this problem-free? All my life I have been facing problems upon problems, from the death of my parent to losing my memory to the torture I faced at the hands of Ethan, and finally those problems are long gone all t
King Derek's POVMy body was boiling with anger as I heard Ethan say those words, I knew there was no way he would let Eleanor and my baby go scot-free, but I was just engaging in the conversation to buy time.Ethan thought he had the upper hand now, but what he didn't know was that I was expecting his attack on my pack, and I was prepared for him."Ethan there is no way I am going to let you harm my son, I will die before I would let that happen" I yelled back at him angrily."And what are you going to do about King Derek, it's already too much. I have your pack surrounded and my men are already taking your people hostage" he replied proudly, with a smile on his face.Just then I saw Lucas my beta behind him, I kept my cool and continued to beg him so he wouldn't notice, but suddenly his expression changed, I think he felt a figure behind him but as soon as he was about to turn my beta hit him of the neck with his sword and he fell on the floor releasing his grip on Eleanor.Eleanor

Ethan’s POVAs I stormed towards Eleanor's cage angrily, my anger intensified, it was like a storm brewing inside me. I felt like my blood was boiling, and my heart was pounding in my chest. I could feel the heat rising, and my muscles tensing up with every passing second.My fists clenched tightly, with my knuckles turning white as I struggled to contain the overwhelming fury that was about to consume me. It was like a volcano ready to erupt, threatening to unleash my destructive power.I got to her cage and flung the door open violently, she was coiled up in the cage shaking, which made me furious. Every little thing seemed to fuel my anger, making it grow stronger and more uncontrollable. My mind was filled with thoughts of frustration and resentment towards Eleanor, and it felt like a storm cloud was hovering above me, ready to burst with thunder and lightning.I dragged her by her hair and pulled her out of the cage. The only thought in my head was to kill Eleanor, to strangle th
Ethan's POV"Ethan please let me go!" Eleanor yelled trying to break free of my hold on her."Shut up,!" I yelled as I gave her a very dirty slap, she fell to the ground and I warned her. "Don't test my patience, Eleanor, I am not in a good mood and I will take that aggression out on you," I said angrily as I dragged her by her hair and threw her into the cage violently.I feel so much anger and hatred towards Eleanor and the only reason why she is still alive is because I needed leverage against King Derek, I wish that maid hadn't escaped with her son, I would have killed him first. "My Lord, I brought devastating news," said the guard who had come in earlier, as much as I was not in the mood for chit-chat, I felt like I needed to listen to him to know what was happening at my pack."Speak then, or should I beg you first" I yelled rudely, trying to control my anger."King Derek attacked the pack and took a lot of hostages," he said avoiding my gaze completely."What!" As I heard the
Eleanor's POVI woke up suddenly, feeling hazy and dizzy at the same time. I held my head tightly and winced in response to the pain I felt. I laid down on the floor there, and I tried to sit up and rest my back against the wall. I sat against the wall, still holding my head tightly as the pain intensified. I took a deep breath as I rubbed my forehead slowly, wiping my face with my palm. My heart pounded harder as my breath raced faster. My heart felt like it was about to jump out of my chest.Something was unusual. There was no noise from the pack house. No noise from maids doing their activities and also the palace workers going about too. I suddenly opened my eyes, looking around the room. It felt like my eyes were shrouded with a dark cloud, but they became familiar with the environment after a moment. I looked around in shock to find out I was in a new cell. How did I get here? I asked in my thoughts. I managed to stand up from where I sat, going toward the door slowly. I banged
King Derek's POV I gave Lucas a straight stare as I heard what he said. I quickly put on my clothes, and we dashed out of the room, leaving my baby in his crib as he was still sleeping. Lucas stopped abruptly, clearing his throat as he exhaled deeply.“What about the baby?” He asked as he wore a concerned look on his face. “The maid will take care of him,” I replied calmly as I tilted my head to look at him, and we continued to walk in the direction of the yard. In no time, we were standing in the yard where the whole army was gathered with their weapons all set. They all bowed down in unison to greet me and I gestured, tilting my head to see all of them. I turned to Lucas, giving him a brief stare, gesturing to him to bring his ears.“What's the plan?” I whispered lowly into his ears. I leaned backward, looking directly into his eyes. He heaved a sigh as he pointed to the car that we should hop on the car. We walked to the car and the warriors chanted war songs. It reminded me of t
King Derek's POV“I…I.” She stuttered as her breath was shaky, pointing towards the room. I turned to look at the back, turning back to look at her, exhaling heavily.“You what?” I asked curiously as I looked puzzled. Lucas walked slowly towards the door, and the maid bowed as he approached. She was trembling obviously, as her hands were shaky when she pointed into the room again. “The baby.” She managed to say as she pointed again. I turned to look in the direction of his crib. He seemed to be sleeping peacefully. “What happened to him?” Lucas asked curiously as he looked at the maid with a straight face, making me turn towards her. I walked towards the baby to check on him as I did not understand what the maid was saying there. He was still sleeping as I tapped him gently. I heaved a sigh as I tilted my head to look towards the door. “She has not fed him tonight,” Lucas said aloud, and I chuckled dryly. She walked into the room swiftly in our direction, checking on the baby. I im
