Chapter Twenty - PainTori's POVI clutched my stomach tight and groaned in agony. The piercing pain made me grit my teeth. Even with the cool breeze coming from the fan, sweat still dripped from my foreheadMy eyesight became blurry and head ached. What sort of pain was this? I was able to sleep well last night after my discussion with Bill and the tea helped calm my mind but as early as 6am, I woke up with an excruciating pain. I could not comprehend why I was feeling such pain."Come on Tori, we need to go to the hospital. You do not look good at all." Bill said, his voice was shaky and his breathing became hitched. He sounded afraid and so was I."I can barely move Bill. I feel really weak and I do not want the girls to see me like this." I managed to say, I paused to wince in pain. As I continued to speak, I felt pain wash over me. "The girls are still in their room. I will not let them know about it so please allow me take you to the hospital. It is for your own good Tori." Bil
Chapter Twenty One - The Threat Bill's POVMy heart raced extremely fast as I watched Tori shut her eyes close. She looked weak and drowsy. A drop of sweat dropped from my forehead. "Doctor!" I yelled. The doctor rushed into the room immediately with a concerned look on her face. She used a stethoscope to check Tori's heartbeat. After a few minutes, she turned me to me and sighed in relief. "She is still breathing but that does not mean she has much time left with her." I muttered a cuss under my breath and ran a hand through my hair in frustration. Why was all of this happening to Tori all of a sudden. "What can be done doctor? Please you need to save her." I said with pleading eyes.The doctor placed a hand on my shoulder and squeezed it tight. "I already told you Mr Bill. She was poisoned by a rare substance and we have not been able to find a remedy yet. We have never experienced such before." The doctor said.His words made my heart race faster. I was not ready to lose Tori. A
Chapter Twenty Two - HealerBill's POV"What do you mean by that Bill? You are letting that stupid girl get into your head!" My mother roared at me angrily. She flared up immediately and it made me eye her suspiciously. Something had to be up for her reaction to be that way.I was going to get to the root of this. Tori had already suffered enough in the past with her ex husband. I was not going to allow my mother do more harm to her."That was the same thing Tori did to me when we are in the kitchen. She accused me of bribing Talia and now you are accusing us of harming Tori! Why Bill?" This time it was Samantha that spoke. She sounded disappointed and honestly, it did not bother me. There was so much reasons to point fingers at her and my mother."To begin with, you both never liked her. You made her life completely hell yet you expect me not to accuse you both and fall for your sudden care for Tori? No way." I spat out bitterly. My anger came from the frustration that Tori was not g
Chapter Twenty Three - The power of MillieTori's POVI slowly fluttered my eyes open at the gentle touch on my stomach. To my uttermost surprise, i met Millie sitting at the tip of my bed. Her eyes had turned pure white, I could feel this force of wind coming from her and her hands were on my stomach.I slowly felt the pain disappear from my stomach. I sighed heavily in relief and watched my daughter perform a miracle on my stomach. It was something that I had never seen in my life before but I had heard stories about it.The Moon Goddess often blessed some children with the gift of healing. It was rare power and only certain werewolves possessed it. They were called the Healers and I could not believe myself daughter was one.Millie's eyes returned back to normal, she took her hands from my stomach and pulled me into a tight hug. "You are awake mummy!" She squealed excitedly. Tears rushed down my cheeks as I could no longer hide the joy I was feeling. My daughter was a healer and she
Chapter Twenty Four - Duty CallsTori's POV I was ready to leave the hospital, although the doctors insisted that I waited to relax a bit more but I refused after getting a call related to work. After Dante's influence and investments, I had been getting calls since then. A few models wanting to partner with me."Tori, you know that you need to rest." Bill scolded me with a straight face. I scoffed and shook my head in disagreement. "I feel a lot more better, I swear. You know I need to attend to work urgently. Look at how much investments Dante put into this business Bill, I do not want to disappoint him." I said with a stern look. I hoped Bill would consider this. I did feel better, Millie's magical hands had performed well on me. Although I was slightly hungry so while Bill was contemplating about letting me stay at the hospital or not, I flashed him a wide grin and said "You can cook me some food when we get home." I winked at him.Bill sighed heavily, he paused to run a hand th
Chapter Twenty Five - The Suspense Samantha's POVI sat down with Regina on the couch in the living room. She was laughing at something on the TV screen but I could barely focus on what displayed on the screen, I guess it was because I was mostly concerned about what Bill would think of me.He had seen Tori's daughters crying in my presence. I was worried that Bill would find out that I was the one who hit them. I could not stand them except for Candy, she was the only one who had a sense of reasoning. The two other girls irritated me."Samantha, what are you thinking about? We have won this battle already. Talia played her part well by poisoning Tori." Regina blurted out.My eyes widened, I immediately cautioned her to keep quiet. "Shush, what if someone is hiding somewhere and listening to our conversation? We would be in big trouble if Bill happened to find out." I said, I was slightly afraid that Talia would eventually confess.She was nothing like me, Talia was innocent. I only
Chapter Twenty Six - Is Tori AliveSamantha's POV I watched Bill hang up the call. He walked up the stairs and completely disappeared from our sight. I rushed towards the direction of the tears but Regina grabbed me by the wrist even before I could climb the stairs."Let him be." Regina said with a serious look on her face. I pushed her hands from my wrist and scoffed at her. Was she being serious right now? "Leave him? We need to know whether Tori is dead or not! If she is not dead then we are all in trouble!" I whisper-yelled at her."I told you to trust. How hard is it for you to do that? If you go up there and pressure him then that would only make him suspicious of us! Tori is dead and that is Bill's own way of mourning. I know my son perfectly well." Regina said the last part boldly but I was certain that she knew nothing about Bill.She had not visited her son in years and all of a sudden she claimed to know him well. I casted one last glance at her and made my way up the sta
Chapter Twenty Seven - Something BiggerTori's POVDays had passed by and I had officially healed. The doctors discharged me from the hospital yesterday and today I resumed work. I decided to hold an interview at the house today, the girls had left for school and Bill said he was going out for business related stuffs and he would give me feedback once he arrived back home.Luckily for me, Samantha had left the house too, she packed her bags yesterday night and she left the house. Bill's mother decided to leave too. Good riddance to both of them. The house became more quiet and less controversial without their presences.All of a sudden, the doorbell rang loudly, jolting me out of my thoughts. I furrowed my brows in confusion and assumed that it were the ladies that probably signed up for casting. I rushed towards the door and opened it wide to meet two stunning ladies standing besides the door.Immediately I set my eyes on them, I already knew that they would do well for my agency. Th
CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX- THE SOLUTION?Alpha Victor’s povI blinked twice, trying to process what I just heard. What does she mean by my precious son is not for me?“I don’t understand,” I said blankly, staring from Louis to her.“What do you mean by that?”“It means exactly what I said. The only reason why his blood will be rejected is if he is not your true blood bloodline. I’m afraid we’ll have a big problem on our hands if we can’t produce a true son of the throne,”I turned sharply to Riley and grabbed her roughly by the collar. “What the hell is she talking about? Speak! You slut!”I could hear Louis crying and telling me to stop but I paid no attention to him.“Are you deaf? Speak before I order for your death,”I could see her mouth quivering in fear and anxiety as she struggled to speak. “I-I can explain. T-The truth is that he’s actually not your son,”I felt like I had been stabbed in the guts as my face turned white, drained of all its color. A million thoughts danced in my head
Chapter Fifty Five - Rejected sonAlpha Victor's POVI brought Louis home successfully. I could feel my phone vibrating several times, I knew it was Riley trying to reach me. I scoffed and turned to one of the guards at the entrance gate. "If you see Riley step foot anywhere around here, seize her and lock her up in one of the dungeons." I ordered and the guard nodded his head hastily.Louis gazed at me with a concerned look on his face. "Why are we locking mummy up? I know you both are not on good terms but I do not think it is a good idea to lock mummy up." Louis said. I only laughed in response. If only he understood everything around him, locking his mother up would be the least of his worries."I have this under control son. Just trust me." I said, with an evil smirkplaying on my lips. I took Louis to the shrine where the sacrifice would be conducted. The priestess asked me to leave Louis behind as she had to be the only one with him.Louis had a look of fear written on his face
Chapter Fifty Four - The Key Alpha Victor's POV The pack was not getting better. It got only worser by the day. Food became a struggle for everyone to find, including me the Alpha. The people were crying and dying of famine. Other people were fleeing from the pack house with their loved ones. The elders were on my neck, everything was choking and it was all thanks to that stupid woman, Riley who refused to let me use Louis, our son to perform the sacrifice that would save the pack.I sighed in frustration as the elders have started their bickering again.Elders Thomas rose to his feet and yelled loudly. "The land has slowly become infested with creatures that I have never seen in my life. Last night while I was taking my usual walk, I saw something big crawl out of the woods." He said and surprisingly for me, all the other elders began to share their experiences.I rubbed my temple in frustration and yelled. "Silence!" I growled angrily. I was sick of this too but the elders only mad
Chapter Fifty Three - CareTori's POV I furrowed my brows in confusion, Gracie must have noticed the confusion written on my face because I had left her stretched out hands hanging in the air, my focus was on the frame."Oh, you must know him. He is very famous." Gracie said dropping the tray of cookies on the center table. She paused to sigh heavily before continuing. "That is Dante. He used to be my husband until we got a divorce of recents." She blurted out. I turned around to gaze at her with my eyes wide open in shock. "Are you serious?" I muttered. Gracie nodded her head in agreement. She looked so hurt while talking about it, almost too hurt that I could tell that her and Dante had not ended things on good terms. It was obvious. "I am so sorry about that. My husband, well boyfriend anyways. We both got into a fight recently and I think I understand how you feel to be separated from someone you love. I am so sorry." I said. Gracie formed a smile on her face. "Thank you Tori,
Chapter Fifty Two - Identity RevealTori's POVI spent the entire night crying my eyes out and once it was 5am, I was already up cooking for the girls. I realized that the only way I could stop thinking about Bill was if I occupied myself with something to do. That way time would pass so fast without me having to think about him. It was a coping mechanism and frankly speaking, it was good for me. After packing up their lunches, I set the table for breakfast, the girls had already finished showering. "That smells nice mummy!" Sienna yelled as she scurried towards the direction of the dining table. "I know right!" Candy agreed, racing her there.The both of them sat on the table, I excused myself to brush my teeth and surprisingly I met Millie sitting on the bed in the room as if she was waiting for me. I rushed towards her with a racing heart and a concerned look on my face. "My princess, are you okay?" I asked in a soft tone.Millie sighed heavily and she flashed me a look of pity. "
Chapter Fifty One - TortureTori's POVThe girls had fallen asleep but I was left alone with my thoughts. I gazed at the roof with a shattered heart, tears pricked from the corner of my eyes. I felt empty without Bill, I was so used to him that I had not even realized it until now.I guess it was because Bill and I basically did everything with each other. After the girls, he was the next person I loved wholeheartedly. I thought I had finally found love after everything Alpha Victor had done to me but fate just had to kick in, Bill and I just had to separate in the worse way ever.Eventually, the tears rolled down my cheeks. I allowed them flow but I bit my lower lip to stop myself from making any sobbing noise. The last thing I wanted to do was get the girls worried about me. They already seemed drained from I and Bill's seperation. If they knew that their mother was hurting, it would only make things worse.I sighed heavily and just as I was about to shut my eyes close. My ringing t
Chapter Fifty - ProblemsBill's POV I had not seen Tori and the girls since morning. My whole world had collapsed eventually. I felt this void inside of me. I gazed at the image of Tori and the girls on my phone. Their smiles were the only thing that kept me sane and I would kill to see them smile at me again.I gulped down another bottle of alcohol as I clenched my fist tight. I was going to deal with Samantha. I swore to myself that I would and I was not going to stop until Samantha was put in her place. Tori was right though, all those while she had been fighting for our love yet I had not made any efforts at putting Samantha in her place. Now I was more than motivated to do so.I tucked my hands into my pocket and brought out the ring box. I gazed at it wi a sad smile. I was going to propose to Tori after the completion of the club and restaurant in the gold moon pack. I planned to make her my wife, I planned to make things official but all of that was going to ruins, all thanks
Chapter Fourty Nine - HealingTori's POV I decided to book an hotel somewhere far away from Bill. I was able to arrange all my clothes back in a wardrobe along with the girls' clothes. I made sure to add some of their toys in the room, just to make everywhere look like home to them. I sighed heavily as I took a glance around everywhere. The room was cozy, there was a queen sized bed by the corner of the room. One that would be comfortable enough for I and the girls. It was time to pick the girls from school. I left the hotel and drove to their school, I felt better than this morning. Although I could still feel this emptiness in me but this time it was a lot more easier to overlook things.I stood in the large school compound as I watched the girls rush towards my direction. I felt anxious on how to break the news to them. How were they going to feel knowing that they would no longer be staying with Bill for a while. At least for a long while until I am able to clear my head."Mummy
Chapter Fourty Eight - The End Of A Beginning.Tori's POVMy hands were shaky on the steering wheel. I was scared to start the car, I was afriad because my attention was not on the road but on Bill. On the decision of whether to leave or not. Bill looked sincere but how could I trust him? If Samantha had never showed me that image, I could not help but wonder if Bill would have opened up to me by himself? Would he have confessed? Or would he have kept it a secret?I sighed heavily as Millie's voice jolted me out of my thoughts and back to reality. "Why are you not driving mum? We are going to be late for school." She said pausing to take a bite out of her burger. I ran a hand through my hair in frustration. Why was I letting my own emotional pain affect the girls?"Sorry girls. I am just slightly tired. Can we take a taxi instead?" I turned to the girls. Candy and Sienna nodded their heads in agreement, they seemed unbothered about it but were mostly focused on their burgers. I felt M
