As Estelle went back inside after waving Neil and Naina goodbye, she frowned when she felt his presence behind her but regardless, she continued on her tracks and went inside." Estelle," she heard him call from behind her but she pretended like she didn't hear anything as she made to go upstairs but then, she felt the strong arms around her waist and she sighed." I really have a lot of work to do so if you don't mind, please leave me alone." She said in a very low tone and she heard him sigh again before his hands tightened the more around her waist." I'm sorry. I'm really very sorry, Estelle." He apologized but before she could say anything, he'd removed his grip from her waist and turned her around to face him but she angrily threw her face away." You're mad at me," he said, hurt in his eyes and she angrily faced him back." Mad at you? I don't deserve to? River, you told me right in the face that I am probably cheating on you with a mere trainer, a mere guard. Have I become
Neil looked enraged instead." You're embarrassing my mate, Mum. That's my mate right there, with my mark clearly on her neck so stop being so stubborn and unthinking about her feelings. You're embarrassing her." He said but Naina only wished he didn't talk because his mother was looking more angry by his retort." I do not care about that. I only care about you and what's good for you and that thing standing over there is definitely not for you. I found a suitable mate for you already and you'll leave this thing and–" Luna Lindsay was saying while her son made to interrupt her but she raised a finger." You won't say a word, you silly child. I won't allow that girl ruin you, not when I'm still breathing and alive. I won't let these two witches come inside my family and tear it apart. They are both shameless being, both shameless harlots!" Her voice raised.Naina saw the way Neil was holding himself back from doing anything stupid and she felt like rushing to him to hold him but th
Kaileyn started her story. " Once upon a time, years ago to be precise, the werewolves lived happily until a man came into the picture. He was different from the werewolves, very different and even though he was much weaker than them, he found great pleasure in getting rids of the stronger creatures."" He was called the ruthless hunter. He hated the werewolves so much and they hated him as much and even more than he did. This man was a bone in the werewolves throat and they found it so hard to capture him and have their revenge."" This man had killed both a lot of the innocent pack members and sold the ones he kept alive for scientific experiments. He used those strange modern drugs on the werewolves that'd always make them writhe in extreme anguish."" The man didn't stop till after almost four decades before he finally disappeared to nowhere, after haunting the werewolves for a long time. A lot of people were attacked during his reign, both the royals and the commoners so the
Naina rushed down from the car angrily with tears in her eyes and dried ones on her cheeks." My lady, you're back so soon? What of the Beta?" Her maid asked but she only brushed past the maid as she ran and walked to the Herves palace.She was going to see Estelle. She needed to ask and know why it had to be only her all the whole time. What about her? Was she so perfect that she didn't have any problems at all?Lair who was emerging from the training ground frowned when he recognized Naina running towards the Herves palace and he could immediately tell she was not fine." They came back so soon." He said, turning to one of the guards who nodded. " Where's Neil? Have you seen him?" He asked again." Only Lady Naina came back to the pack, I don't know of the beta yet but I think he'll be coming back later on." The guard said but with a confused frown.Lair only sighed. He'd just tried to link Neil but as he suspected, something had gone wrong again." You all can go now." He said a
Lair stood a meter away from the Alpha's study as he listened to the Alpha and Kaileyn's conversation." That bitch," he muttered.Meanwhile, in the study, River stared at Kaileyn in utter disbelief and anger." What has gotten into you?" He asked but Kaileyn only shrugged though she was looking away from him.Despite the stubborn and unchanged look on her face, she was having several thoughts deep down in her.She thought about so many things. Was she supposed to have done this? She didn't like the way he was now looking at her at all.He looked so disappointed." She snatched him from you!" Alisha's voice echoed in her head and the angry look on her face seemed to have tripled. Right then, she turned to River." I've told you what it is that you have to do, River. You have no choice and besides, she isn't pregnant no more so she's more or less of a useless vessel." Kaileyn said and when she saw the man take a step towards her, she immediately shouted again." I'm really going to
" River," she yelled again and he finally halted on his tracks, as if he just realized he had done something stupid.The Alpha turned back slowly to meet his mate's shimmering, wide eyes.Estelle was at the verge of tears again as she was confused. Had someone exchanged her River with this strange man in front of her? Was this really the River she knew?" W...what is happening?" Her voice cracked, staring at the silver haired man who had confusion roaming through his golden orbs.He seemed confused and she didn't understand why." When did all of this start, River?" She inquired again, finally breaking down. Her loud sobs echoing in the large room.The man's eyes twitched and squinted in pain as he watched the woman before him break down helplessly." Estelle please," he immediately ushered her into his large arms, his hand gently caressing her red cheeks and, his eyes pleading for her to stop crying.He could feel his heart breaking at that, and, when he recalled what he had done
Estelle shifted on her seat again. She had been waiting for Luna Lindsay to show up for a while now but the woman had been keeping her waiting for a long time.Whether she was doing it intentionally or not, Estelle didn't care. As long as she saw her, she would be fine.Right at that moment, the haughty Luna walked in and Estelle already felt that pride and arrogance around her." I don't know why River's Luna wants to see me." She scoffed, elegantly taking her seat and giving Estelle a look the latter didn't like but she just couldn't say anything.After all, she was here for a favor that the woman before her had to grant." Good day, Luna Lindsay." Estelle greeted with a smile that the woman didn't return. It looked like she glared at her instead." I'm here to..."" Plead? You're here to apologize, right? As expected. I heard that bitch is your mother. How could River have a luna with a mother like that? Listen..."" I didn't come here to listen to lectures, Luna. I'm also not h
" I'll give this to the Alpha, take this to her." Melina said, referring to Estelle.Connor recalled Melina's words as he waited for the large living room door to open, expecting someone. His eyes shifted to the upper floor and a smirk appeared on his face as he wondered what Melina was doing.Meanwhile, Melina smirked as she saw the beautiful man reading. He looked so handsome that she just wanted to watch him but she was in a hurry." Melina," she had him call. He had noticed her first." Good evening, Alpha. Erm....I... Luna Estelle is back and she asked me to give this to you. She's in the royal kitchen." Melina lied, placing the wine glass carefully on the man's table.He only nodded and his eyes returned to the book he was reading but he looked up again when he saw Melina was still standing there." You can go, Melina." He told her but she angrily pushed her toe against the wall. Gosh, she just needed him to take a sip. A taste of that wine and everything would be good but
