MOSESI got to the dungeon and ran in quickly, I saw the body of the she-wolf lying down lifelessly on the ground. I turned to look at Louis who had the same shocked expression on his face as me, then I bent down to have a close look at the body, just then Luxian came into the dungeon."You sent me alpha…" His words were left hanging in his mouth when he saw the dead girl on the ground."What happened here?" He asked with the same surprised expression on his face."Exactly why I sent for you, I was told she committed suicide." We both bent down to examine her body and then I noticed that there was blood coming out of her mouth, exactly what had almost happened to me earlier.After taking a close look at her body, I noticed there was something in her mouth."This is belladonna leaf," Luxian said at almost the same time that I realized what the leaf was."She must have used the same poison she had used on me to commit suicide," I said in a low tone.What could she be up to? Why did she
MATILDA'S POV Seeing him giving such orders that I should be treated like a common slave made my heart churn, but it did not surprise me anymore as I was already aware of the kind of ruthless person he was. And here I was getting worried sick because I heard he was poisoned, but he did not mind treating me badly. As I was dragged away by the guards, followed by the head maid, I kept turning back to look at the face of the man who had once treated me with so much love and respect.I was dragged until we got to the kitchen."Here." The head maid said and I was pushed to the ground roughly by the guards. I gasped when my body hit the ground because my elbow slightly brushed the ground thereby causing a bruise."You should also ask me to get you a bed and a pillow so that you would be able to sleep more comfortably." The head maid suddenly said sarcastically with a smile on her face."Huh?" I asked, looking up at her with wide eyes."Did you come here to work or sleep? Why are you lying
MOSES'S POV I stood there and watched as the guards dragged Matilda away from my presence on my command, at first I did not feel any iota of pity for her.Until when I was about to go inside then I heard my wolf yelling at me."Are you happy now? Why would you even give such an order? Treating her like a maid? I hope you eventually regret treating her like that.""Oh! Shut up, Bax." I said to him in a low voice."I should shut up? Of course, I will, but when you regret all your actions, I will be the one to shut you up then." He answered with a smirk.I ignored the different feeling I started to have after Bax scolded me and went ahead to go into the house, but I was restless, I kept pacing around the room. Why was I getting worried because of her?After a while of restlessness, I decided to go to the kitchen to see how she was being treated by the head maid. I wanted to know how much she was getting punished even though I was the one who had instructed it. While I took gentle steps
MATILDA'S POV Eva and I silently walked back to the slave's quarters with my arms wrapped securely around my body. I was scared that Alpha Moses would find out about my wolf soon or later. What would have happened if Eva and Louis didn't show up that time? Was he going to be disappointed or happy that I wasn't wolfless anymore?"Were you about to get punished before I arrived?" Eva asked me as we walked together, that was actually the first time she spoke after we left alpha Moses's presence.I shook my head because I was not able to tell her what was about to happen to me before Eva arrived.I felt goosebumps all over my body and my nipples became hard but the feeling was something I could not explain. Why was I feeling this way?I thought probably it was still a result of the fear I felt when I was in Alpha Moses' presence earlier."Does our mate hate us?" Sapphire suddenly asked for the first time that night and my heart tingled, then rolled my eyes at the question.I hoped she
MATILDA'S POVSleeping peacefully on our small bed, with my hand around Eva. My eyes slightly opened when I felt a cold breeze all over my body and I looked toward the window, which was barely covered with a small rag I called a curtain, then I saw it was morning."Shit! Why is it so early today?" I sat up and a growl left my mouth as the reality hit me, I had slept past the time I was supposed to resume to the pack house. It was not as if I did not expect that to happen because I had slept late last night, Eva and I had stayed up last night talking, but I was thinking Eva was going to wake me up since she was a morning person.Knowing that I just had a little time to get to the pack house before Alpha Moses woke up, I stood up from the bed immediately and started getting ready to go to the pack house.I tapped Eva who was still sleeping on the bed too."Eva, It's time to wake up," I said calmly.She sprang up immediately and she yawned weakly."What is the time? You should not be he
MOSES'S POVI watched as she ran away after I threatened to break the bond with her, it amused me to see her running like that, it only meant that she did not want the bond to be broken. I shouted her name multiple times but she did not answer nor stop running."My Alpha, should we go after her?" one of the guards asked as he ran toward me."No," I answered and kept calling her name but she kept running.Seeing her running away from me like that reminded me of how scared she was the first day she arrived in the pack house, only then did she not run like this, instead she always stood in front of me and shivered with so much fear."Are you really going to reject our mate?" Bax asked me just when I was about to go back inside my room. I rolled my eyes at his question and ignored it."We have been waiting for her for a long time and now you want to reject her?"I knew it would be a silly thing to do, rejecting my mate after the moon goddess had given me a second chance by providing anoth
MOSES'S POV It's been over a week since my grandmother was brought back to the pack house and Kelvin took over her treatment.When I spoke to Luxian yesterday, he said that she was responding to treatment like never before. I was amazed at how much she had improved ever since she had been brought back here and I have hope of her being resuscitated soon.Luxian had assured me that she would be fine soon which made me happy.As I sat down close to her on the bed that morning and held her hand, I felt her hand squeeze mine slightly, the feeling gave me a certain kind of joy even though she could not talk to me.Ever since she was brought back, I had always made sure to visit and see her every day. I would sit at her bedside for hours and even talk to her while holding her hand. Luxian said she was awake already but couldn't talk to me right now, and I could feel it because her hand moved against mine occasionally.But today, I was going to be busy with pack matters, so I would not
MOSES'S POVI walked away from Luxian with my fists clenched and my teeth gritted. I was trying to suppress my anger with the fear of what I might do to him if I continued to question him.But why was I even angry seeing them together? Why do I care so much about Matilda and why does the thought of her being with other men bother me so much?"I thought you were trying to deny your feelings for her." Bax suddenly sounded sarcastic in my mind."Shut up," I screamed at him with gritted teeth.Just as I was approaching the pack house, someone walked out from the dark and stood right in front of me."It has really been a long time, Alpha Moses." The female voice said seductively.I stopped in my tracks when I heard the voice, I recognized it immediately."Sara?" I called. "When did you get back?" I asked, looking at her from head to toe."I didn't know you would care about that." She said and started walking toward me but then I stepped back, stopping her from touching me. There was a dis
