Chapter Thirty Four - Good NewsMillie's POVI held onto my mum's hands as we walked into the huge house. I felt my heart racing extremely fast and my hands were shaky. Mum paused to gaze at me, she flashed me a reassuring smile and i returned the smile.When mummy had asked me whether I was able to heal the Alpha or not. I was actually unsure but I did not want to disappoint my mother. She seemed to have so much faith in me, I was afraid of letting her down. Dad had also talked to me about it, I felt like everyone believed in me so I could not refuse.Mum and i halted in our steps at the entrance where a guard stood. He pointed towards a small door. Mum grabbed my hand and led me towards the door. Mum knocked the door and it opened widely revealing an old woman. Her gaze fell on me for a brief moment before settling back on my mum. "Is she the one?" The old woman asked, her voice was shaky and her eyes seemed to be red from crying."Yes. She is the one." My mum replied."Then she mu
Chapter Thirty Five - Death NewsTori's POVI arrived back home with Millie, not after stopping at an ice cream shop to get her and her sisters some vanilla ice cream.Millie looked so excited, I could tell that it was not just about the scholarship but also about the fact that she was so good at using her powers now. I smiled at her as we stepped back into the house.Bill was sitting in the living room with his eyes fixated on the TV screen but once he noticed our presence, he scurried towards us and pulled Millie into a tight hug. Candy and Sienna rushed towards me and hugged me too."How did it go babe?" Bill asked with a small smile plastered on his lips. I shrugged, trying to put him in suspense but even before I could utter another word. Millie screamed from the top of her voice "It was amazing! I healed him!""That is my girl!" Bill and the girls cheered Millie. I could not help but giggle at how they all seemed happy for Millie. Things were finally going well with the absence
Chapter Thirty Six - Shocking Revelation Bill's POV "Talia! My sweet daughter is dead and gone for good." Talia's mother's voice was shaky. I immediately rose to my feet, alarmed by the news. My palms became shaky and sweaty. I wondered what happened to Talia and how she was suddenly dead. What had killed her? Or rather who had killed her?Tori rose to her feet as well and rubbed my shoulders gently, her touch slightly calmed me down. "How did it happen?" I finally got to ask.My voice was barely above a whisper but loud enough for Talia's mother to hear and respond."Talia was killed on her way back home. Someone did it! I know someone must have killed her." Talia's mother cried out. I muttered a cuss under my breath and I ran a hand through my hair in frustration. I felt responsible for Talia's death since she was under my roof for a short while.I knew I needed to do something, even if it was to bring justice to Talia's killer. I had to do something. "When did you find out about t
Chapter Thirty Seven - SuspicionsBill's POVI gulped a lump down my throat unsure of how to feel. That text meant a lot, that Talia was the one who poisoned Tori. I could not help but feel anger rise within me. How could Talia have done something so unspeakable? If not for Millie's intervention, Tori could have almost died.I sighed heavily and paused to run a hand through my hair in frustration. Now I wondered who had pressured Talia into poisoning Tori. Whoever did that must have been the one to kill Talia out of fear that Talia would reveal it later on.Only one person drifted to my mind and that person was Samantha. I feared that my Samantha and my mother had a hand in such conspiracy. I just did not have enough proof to back that up. I knew I had to see Samantha, I had to confront her about such. It would be unfair to Talia plus I needed to stop Samantha before she went further into doing anything worse.I turned to the officer and said. "I will be taking my leave now. Please le
Chapter Thirty Eight - Clearing Suspicions.Samantha's POV Bill's words caused me to gulp a lump down my throat. I furrowed my brows in confusion at him, although I noticed that he was not confident enough which only meant one thing. He suspected me but he was not entirely sure if I killed Talia or not. It was more of a speculation. I had to keep my guard up or else I would end up falling for Bill's scheme."It is rude of you to just accuse people of murder, you know that right?" I snapped at him, a frown forming on my face. I wished Bill would just let Talia's death slide. Why was he trying to play detective here? "This is not a joke Samantha. I know what you did and I know my mother had a hand in it too. How could you?" Bill snapped back at me, I could still sense the uneasiness in his tone. He was unsure and all that was left for me was to defend myself, in a perfect way that would make him less suspicious of me."I never said it was joke. I do not understand why you would just s
Chapter Thirty Nine - Devious PlanSamantha's POV I turned to gaze at Bill. Text message? What text message was he referring to? I had only sent a text message to Talia once and it was with a burner phone, an unknown number. I had trashed the phone right after using it so it was almost impossible for them to find out I was the one who sent the text."What text message? I do not know what you are talking about,"I raised a brow at Bill. I wanted him to explain everything but Bill seemed to be hiding more from me. What else did he know about Talia's death? I needed to know what other things were pointing at me as the killer."What took you so long to reply? Were you thinking about how I figured out it was you who killed Talia?" He asked, his voice was lowand menacing. As a matter of fact, it suddenly occured to me that it did not matter if Bill saw me as the killer, as long as he had no proof of that, there was no way I could go to jail. I was good to go."I honestly do not know what yo
Chapter Fourty - New Friend Millie's POV I had finally resumed at the royal institute and somehow Mum and Bill had found a way to make it possible for Candy and Sienna to also attend the school too.I was happy to have my sister's by my side. It made school less difficult and i always had fun with them during our lunch breaks. Not to mention, my step brother, Louis also attended this school. Although he seemed different now.Louis was a bully to other kids. I tried to reprimand him several times but he would always dismiss me. The last time when we met at the hotel, Louis was friendly but now he had just toughened up. It seemed like someone had put him up to the job, I could sense that he was feeling pressure at home.I and my sisters strolled the beautiful garden of the school when all of a sudden, we heard a loud cry echo from the back of the school."What was that?" I and Candy shared a glare of confusion. Candy shrugged in response. "I do not know." She replied. The cry sounded
Chapter Fourty One - Showtime Samantha's POV Today was the day that I would execute my plan. The plan to make Bill get me pregnant. I was confident that my plan would work because that way Bill would feel attached to me knowing that I would be carrying his child.I grinned widely as I gazed at the white substance in a small transparent jar. The plan was to spike his drink and then lay with him. That way i would steal his sperm and leave the rest for the doctor's to do. Regina had recommended a secret hospital that specialized in such acts.I could not hide the excitement I was feeling as I walked into the club where a party was holding. Regina had been able to gather information on Bill's whereabouts. Apparently, he was invited to a party being held by a friend of his. Today was the perfect day.My eyes roamed around the space full of sweaty adults that swayed their bodies effortlessly to the music. The smell of booze and cigarettes was thick in the air. This was indeed a good party
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
