Araceli’s POVI walked Into the room and sat down patiently waiting for King Derek in the place where we normally meet. I had set a meeting between us because I no longer understood what was going on.Since the death of Eleanor things haven't been going as well as planned, King Ethan has shut me up completely after I failed to sense if Eleanor was alive but I know he will come around because he will need me.King Derek on the other hand was the main problem because since the death of Eleanor, we haven't spoken so I don't know how badly her death affected him.“Hmmm” King Derek cleared his throat as soon as he walked into the room, I raised my head to look at him, and he looked pale and sad giving me my answer on how Eleanor’s death affected him.“King Derek, how are you doing, it's has been a while hasn't it?” I asked indulging him in a conversation.“Araceli! What do I owe this impromptu meeting,” King Derek asked ignoring my question.“King Derek, I haven't heard from you for a whi
King Derek POVI fluttered my eyes as the breeze from the window brushed through my face, and a surge of anger and irritation washed over me like a tidal wave. I stood up from the bed in annoyance wondering who dared to leave my window open.“Guards!’ I called out the guards that usually stand in front of my door.“Yes, my lord ” they replied in uniform as they ran into the room bowing their head to me.“What took you so long to answer my calls!” I yelled at them angrily.“Sorry, my lord, I didn't hear you called for us earlier” one of the guards dared to reply.“How dare you talk back at me, you are fired!” I barked at the guard who replied. “Leave my sight this instance” I added. I could see the fear on his as he ran out of the room immediately.“I am so so sorry my lord,” the other guard who was already whimpering in fear apologized bowing his head again.“Who dares to leave my window open?” I asked ignoring his apologies.“It’s Amanda, the maid in charge of your room, let me get h
Eleanor's POVI opened my eyes suddenly, but the rays of the sun coming in through the window made me squint. I looked around the room, and it was not a familiar place at all. Where am I, and what am I doing here? I wondered. I stood up from the bed immediately, walking to the standing mirror across the edge of the room. I stood there observing myself in the mirror, and I could not remember a thing about myself or the place I found myself. I felt a bit strange. My eyes went up in shock as I realized my eyes were unusually white and my breasts fuller. Then I saw a little bump on my stomach. I was pregnant! I exclaimed within my mind. My heart began to race faster as these thoughts kept running through my mind. The door suddenly opened, jolting me from my reverie. I could see the reflection from the mirror who came into the room. She was not looking familiar either. What is happening to me? I asked curiously in my head. My face suddenly became pale and drawn, my eyes went wide with
Alpha Ethan's POVSitting on the chair in my office, going through a report that had just been submitted to me. I fixed my gaze on every detail on the paper, but I was unable to concentrate because a lot was going through my mind. I gripped the edge of the paper firmly and tightly, causing it to squeeze. I stood up from my chair and walked towards the window with the paper in hand.I stood beside the window in my office trying to concentrate on the paper I was holding. I felt rage coursing through my body. My heart raced faster as I pressed my lips against each other. I clenched my teeth out of frustration as I could feel droplets of sweat on my forehead. I was unable to concentrate as thoughts about Eleanor, her death and the person responsible for her death filled my heart. I threw away the paper I was holding as well as the pen angrily and yelled as I did that. I paced around the office angrily, as I could not get my mind off Eleanor. Only if Derek had not involved himself, she wo
King Derek's POVI glanced around my room as my breath pace increased rapidly from the thoughts of the looming attack I was going to inflict on Alpha Lucian and his entire pack house. It was almost sunset and I could not wait for the darkness to arise and then launch my attack. I felt rage coursing through my body. I would not let any of them escape death. It will be a total demolition, destruction, and annihilation of the Alpha Lucian and his packs. That was all I could think of as I continued pacing around the room impatiently, feeling restless. I suddenly heard a knock on the door. “Come in!” I said at once, and the door opened, revealing the head of warriors. He walked hurriedly towards me and bowed to greet me.“Good day, King.” He said as he bowed. I stared at him momentarily before asking.“What is the status?” I asked, gesturing with my hand.“We are ready. We are just waiting for darkness so that we can set out.” He said hurriedly, making me smirk slightly. I heaved a sigh
Eleanor's POVI stood in front of the mirror unable to recognize myself, I looked so different, my heart raced with a mix of emotions. The weight of uncertainty bore heavily on my shoulders, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of anxiety. My mind was a whirlwind of thoughts.I gently rubbed my tummy in circles, feeling a mix of awe and fear. It was hard to wrap my head around the fact that a tiny life was growing inside me, a child whose father remained a mystery. The uncertainty weighed heavily on my heart, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't recall any details that could solve the puzzle. It was like trying to grasp at fragments of a forgotten dream.I gazed into my own eyes, searching for answers within myself. My reflection staring back at me seemed to hold the secrets of my past encounters. Anytime I tried to remember I could feel my memory playing tricks on me, teasing me with fragments of blurred images.I decided to try again, to see if I could remember anything, I close

But I know it's all in the past now, and I have to focus on the future for the sake of me and my baby.I continue down the road, humming to the song in my head and moving my body to the beat, taking a walk home was a bad idea I thought to myself. I was almost in our neighborhood when I noticed a little movement in Bush close to the road, I stopped and looked around, to see if there was anyone in the bush.“Hello! Is anyone there?” I called out as I moved closer to the direction of the sound, but no one answered.Could it be an aminal? I wondered as I came closer, j

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.

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
