MATILDA'S POVA few days had passed since Hilda experienced a miscarriage and was taken to the pack's hospital. Luxian had discussed her health with me the day before, and I was relieved to see that she had returned to being her regular vivacious self today.I could also tell that she had changed, which gave me even more reason to be joyful because I could now have my twin sister back.Before, I asked Eva to accompany me to the pack's hospital to bring her back. I contacted some maids and told them to set up my old room for her in a way that she would be more comfortable there.As we walked back to the chamber, Eva wrapped her arms around my shoulder and leaned on me, which greatly enthused me. I don't believe my sister and I have ever been this close. From the time we were children until we were adults, all I could recall was animosity; I had never known what it was like to have a loving twin sister. I wanted it to go on forever.I reflected as I occasionally turned to smile at my
MATILDA'S POVIt was the bright light from the open window that woke me up that morning. I could not believe that I had slept up until this time. I had never been used to waking up late like this.I blinked severally, then my eyes landed on Alpha Moses' face, who was staring directly into my eyes with a smile on his face.His face was so close to mine that our breaths collided, forming a warm blanket of air around us."You are finally awake." His smile broadened, and I blushed.I could not get enough of waking up next to this man and seeing him staring at my face with so much love and admiration in his eyes."You should have woken me earlier," I said, shyly wondering how long he had been awake and staring at my face.He shook his head as he stared at my face. "I wanted my mate to get as much sleep as she wanted." I smiled shyly and snuggled against his chest. He immediately put his arm around me."You should get ready for the event that will be happening tonight." He suddenly said,I
MOSES'S POV I hurried to my chamber the next morning, hoping that Matilda would not be mad at me for staying out all night. I was also hoping she would still be asleep by that time since it was still quite early.I was unable to go back to the room that night because I had a bit of a situation that made me stay out late.During that evening's pack meeting, I learned that a rogue had attacked and killed three of my pack members.Angry that a rogue would dare attack a member of my pack, I personally went after the rogue because I wanted to make sure I caught him alive.He deserved a worse punishment than death for daring me.The rogue was quite a tough one, so it took all night for me to be able to capture him.After I had handed him over to the warriors and given them instructions on what to do with him, I hurried back to the room to go with my mate.But much to my greatest surprise and disappointment, I did not find her lying on the bed as I had expected."Matilda?" I called softly,
MATILDA' POVI could not believe my ears as I turned to face my sister, Hilda.She was standing there with her arms folded after blurting out words that were capable of getting me into serious trouble.I stood there staring at her, finding it difficult to comprehend what was going on at the moment.Was that it? So Hilda was actually going to betray once again.I was a fool to have trusted her again.I slapped my forehead in frustration and started running after Alpha Moses, who was walking away from me. I would have the time to confront her later, but for now, I had to find a chance to convince Alpha Moses that he was misunderstanding the whole situation.Alpha Moses kept walking faster, increasing his pace with each second, despite all my pleas.'I'm so done for.' I thought as I ran as fast as I could to meet up with his pace.What would I do to convince Alpha Moses that I did not sleep with Luxian? How do I explain to him that I didn't even know how I got to his bed?I kept on follo
MOSES'S POV As I stood there watching her get wiped, a series of emotions that I found difficult to explain kept running through my mind, but I still stood there, not giving any reaction; instead, I had a blank expression on my face.There was a large crowd gathered in the pack's square since the news had spread all over and all of the pack members had come to witness the event.After some time, I heard murmuring from the pack members who were closer to Matilda. At first, I dismissed it as the usual murmuring from a crowd when something was going on.But then I got to hear some of the words they were saying. I heard one of them say that Matilda had fainted.I snapped out of my nonchalant state and looked up immediately. I could see that she had gone limp and was not making any sounds again, but I could not tell if she had actually fainted.No, she did not pass out; she is just pretending to have fainted so that they would have pity on her. So shameless." Another pack member said:I w
MOSES'S POVLuxian offered me a chair when he saw me leaning on the wall, like I was having difficulty standing.I could not stop blaming myself for what had happened as I sat there scratching my head in regret. What had I done?Even Bax kept blaming me for what I had done.I killed my pup.Eva walked in a few minutes later and sat close to Matilda, who was still sleeping. She had a worried look on her face.Kelvin walked in much later too; he still looked confused about everything that had happened, especially seeing Matilda lying on the hospital bed. He kept staring at her with wide eyes, then he would steal a glance at me occasionally and quickly look away when I looked at him.I thought of asking Eva what happened since I remembered last night that Matilda had said she would return to the chamber with her."What happened last night after the party, Eva? Why did Matilda not return to the room last night as she had promised?""I had no idea that she did not return to the room; I rem
MATILDA'S POVAfter I sent Alpha Moses out of the room, I lay still on the bed, shedding tears.How dare he have the guts to come lie beside me after everything he did to me? After he stood there and let them beat me like a common criminal, he could not even trust me for once.Grandmother came into the room much later and walked towards the bed."I'm glad you are finally awake." She said she was smiling, but I could see the pain in her eyes as she looked at me."How are you feeling, my dear? Are you feeling any pain?" She asked with her hand on my forehead, trying to feel my temperature.I felt pains all over my body; despite the painkillers that I was given by Luxian after I woke up, I still felt pains, which were a result of the intense beating I had received. But the pain in my stomach was even worse; it was two times the pain I felt all over my body."It's just the excruciating pain in my stomach." I put my hand on my belly, massaging it slowly."You are going to be okay." She sai
HILDA'S POVEver since my parents sent me away from the pack house because I seduced Alpha Moses, my hatred for her has increased tenfold.It was hard to live with the thought that I was being punished because of her. But then knowing that Alpha Moses had moved her to the pack slave's quarters gave me a little bit of peace; at least, I knew that wherever she was, she was suffering twice as much as I was.But I was very disappointed when I found out that she turned out to be Alpha Moses's fated mate, and not just that she had even been allowed to return to the pack house. I could not stand the thought of that.It got even worse after I returned to the pack house and heard my parents making plans to visit Matilda and ask for her forgiveness and also settle the differences they had with her. I was enraged when I heard that.Matilda's life was becoming perfect all of a sudden, and here I was, stuck with an unwanted pregnancy that I was unable to abort, and also automatically stuck with so
