Mildred's POV "What's the time?" I asked Aya, looking at her. "It eight twenty.." Aya started, but Mr Arnold cut in. "No need for that." He gently stroked my hair. "There's no need for that." He mouthed. I didn't want to, but I caught myself blushing. What on Earth was going on with me? I feigned a serious face. "I have to go to work, that was why I asked." "You're not fine, besides.. I won't let you suffer or stress yourself while I'm alive. You're mine, you're all I have and I can't let you go or allow any harm come to you." I almost couldn't contain the excitement building within me when I heard those words, but I didn't trust men. I couldn't trust him. "I'm a human, not your property." "You are my property and I'm yours too. I belong to only you." "Hmmm.. ummm" Aya cleared her throat. She really saved my ass, because I didn't know what to reply him. Besides, I already forgot she was there too and I guess Mr Arnold forgot too. "I want to be with you forever, sleep with
Aya's POV Mildred's Mr. Arnold was acting out because I said I didn't trust him, and instead of taking my side, she chose a total stranger. It was very typical of her, she never loved me the way I loved her, it was either her job, boss, colleague, customer or even an unborn baby daddy over me. I wanted to be mad at her, but I couldn't because I had no right, she should be mad at me instead, thanks to Jake. But why didn't she tell me? Or did she? Maybe she did, but I didn't take it seriously. I closed the door to her room, and was about to leave when I heard Mildred's discussion with her Mr. Arnold. "When are you leaving?" She asked him. I thought I was the only victim of Mildred's cold-heartedness, but it reached Mr. Arnold. I wish he had come to me instead, but maybe he didn't come because of that stupid Jake, who was a good for nothing. Jake only added to the problems of my l
Alpha Arnold's POVI used to think my mate's friend, Aya, wasn't a good friend, but was pretending, until yesterday we stayed together looking after my mate.I realized she genuinely loved and cared for Mildred, but was being deceived by her boyfriend, before she found out who he really was.I heard a noise outside our room and rushed to check what was going on. I was a bit surprised to know Aya was eavesdropping on me and Mildred.I was a bit mad at her childishness and I decided to make her feel sorry. I did that by saying to every hearing ears that she was eavesdropping. She felt ashamed and rushed out."What happened, what is the noise about?" My mate asked, as soon as I entered the room to meet her."It was nothing serious, just two people bumping into each other." I said without mentioning her friend's name."Ohh.." she nodded.I sat down close to her and played with her soft silky hair. "You're beautiful." I whispered."I want to go home, I think I'm better now." She said, igno
Mildred's POV"Mill, I know you still have doubts about me in your mind, but I can't imagine myself spending the rest of my life with any other person beside you, please.."Arnold dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out a small fancy box that usually contained jewelries.I found myself blushing, as my face instantly turned red like a ball of over ripped tomatoe.He opened it and coincidentally, sunrays filtered through the window, a blinding light shone into our eyes, as a diamond ring came fully to display.Aya's scream filled the house as she and Oman cheered me up."Accept him! Accept him!! Accept him!!!" She soon started singing and Oman joined her.I was so shy, yet so happy and I couldn't contain the joy in me.I pouted my lips and nodded, stretching out my left hand for him, "yes, I'll be your wife."Aya and Oman started another round of clapping and cheering, while Arnold slipped the ring through my finger and it fit perfectly."How on Earth did you know my size?" I as
I couldn't believe Mildred did all she did last night when she wasn't drunk, it was totally unusual of her and I wondered how shy she would feel when she woke up.I tucked a strand of straying hair behind her ear, and her beautiful face looked more appealing. I place a soft kiss on her forehead and she smiled, with her eyes still closed."Alpha, you should start coming back already." I heard Todd say through the mind-link. "It's an emergency, so please start coming immediately."The link disconnected and every attempt to reach him proved futile. I was confused and uncomfortable.I already told Mildred that we would be leaving by tomorrow and she already agreed. What was I supposed to tell her now.I picked up my phone and dialed Todd's number, but it didn't ring, how much more reaching him.I looked at Mill's beautiful figure on the bed and thanked the moon goddess for giving me a woman as wonderful as her.She turned and snuggled under me and I wrapped my hands around her body."You'
Mildred's POVThe red Lamborghini that came to pick us at the airport came to a halt at the front of a magnificent gigantic building. I had never seen a place as beautiful and as breathtaking as this in my entire life.I couldn't believe such a place existed on earth, I thought I was in heaven. The streets that were made of what I would call gold were so neat that one would think people don't pass by it. Beautiful flowers were planted at the surroundings.The people there looked taller than average humans, even their women, the few I saw on the streets were so tall that I could barely explain how tall they were. That explained why Arnold looked this tall and I guess he was taller than them all.The place he called his palace was built of diamonds I guess, the view wasn't something I wanted to take my eyes off.Arnold alighted from the car, after another tall handsome man, though not as tall and handsome as Arnold, opened the door for him.I rushed out of the car on my own before he wo
Alpha Arnold's POV The horror in my mate's eyes when Colin Gates said those words couldn't be described, I was trying to get to her when she suddenly looked at something, I couldn't exactly tell what it was. She screamed out her lungs and before I could get to her, she slumped to the ground. I became totally confused at that moment, I didn't know what to do, I just stood fixed looking helplessly at her. "Alpha your mate!" I heard the guards chorused, and I rushed to her side, but one of the guards already carried her. I carried her from him and sent for the pack's doctor to come and take care of her. I took her to my bedroom and placed her on the king sized bed. The doctor soon came and commenced treatment on her, it didn't take too long before he revived her. I wished I could take away the memory of what happened a while ago from her, but it seemed impossible. "Alpha, she's out of danger, but she's sleeping now and will wake up in less than one hour." The doctor announced and
Mildred POVMy fingers were clenched up into tight balls and I placed them on my lap as I growled that the man that had promised me the entire world or very little less than that.He had been lying right through his teeth all these time. How long was he planning to deceive me like this throughout my pregnancy or even after the baby was born as well?Just thinking about that made it hard to even look at him, but he was determined to stay there with me as he shifted closer on the bed, trying to hold my hand, but I shoved him away."Don't touch me!" I snapped at him."The last thing I need around me and my unborn child is a two-faced liar. Tell me, are you even a king? or did you also make that one up to see how long you can deceive me as well?" Anger was bubbling up in my heart, and I could feel steam shooting out of my ears, but despite how serious I looked, despite the blood worn look I probably had in my eyes, he still looked at me with love and adoration and kept coming closer even
Mildred POV"Mil!"I held out my hand with joy as my best friend ran into them.My husband and I had been waiting several minutes for her plane to finally land and I was so excited. Behind her was the guard that my husband had left to take care of her coming out, calling out that she should not run so fast. She rolled her eyes back, looking at him."You are always treating me like a child!" She said defensively, crossing her hands and with a sigh."... That's because you act like one sometimes, "He responded.After saying that, he looked over to me and my husband and greeted us with a slight bow and also recognized the baby that was cradled in my husband's hand."Oh my gosh, he's so cute!..., oh now I want one so badly." She said, gushing over the baby, and then her bodyguard hovered over her with a worried expression."Children aren't supposed to take care of children," he said without missing a beat, and she turned around."Besides…where are you going to find a guy that can handle a
Mildred POVI could not describe the relief that washed over my entire body like a cool relaxing shower when I finally had a bed to lie on. I didn't realize that Arnold was staring at me strangely until I rolled on the bed and my eyes came over to him, looking over with a mixture of confusion and perplexity.Even if I had been walking a long way so that way he had carried me halfway back, it was not enough reason for me to act like that after seeing a bed.Before I could even get the chance to think of a good excuse, he came over scooting on the bed, and then, with a hard gaze fixed on me, he asked me."Millie, can you tell me what was happening to you when I was asleep?"I sat up feeling hesitant to talk about my experiences with him. I just wanted to push it into the past because it was so terrible, and I didn't want him to feel guilty that he had not been there for me, since it was basically my fault that I had injured him.He kept on pressing for the truth and so, eventually, I ha
Arnold POVMy heart was beating hard against my chest as we were making our way through the woods I had left some markings on the trees quickly as I was rushing here, from time to time my mate would casually point out a deformed tree that had one of the two branches torn off.I would just soothingly her head, telling her not to bother about it when deep down inside I knew that it was because of how madly I had been running when I knew what was about to happen to her.".... Arnold…" she called my name in a weak voice as she clung to me I looked at her asking her she needed to rest a bit giving her the offer of carrying her again but she looked at my hand that was still tearing and shook her head to that invitation saying that she could be here for a little longer until my hands were better.My heart clenched when she said this even when she was in this situation she was still thinking of me and my own well-being and she was pregnant just going through such a traumatic experience that w
Mildred POV"Move faster…"I felt a painful jab on my side caused by someone poking me with a stick. Following that was a burst of laughter and a bunch of laughter followed by the group that had been walking behind me for several minutes now.Now that I had finally gotten to see Arnold, I would have to live up to my own part of the deal or rather die for it, so leading the group was traitorous and then behind me were warriors that were mostly loyal to him and in their midst was Tanya, who was desperate to witness my debt even if it meant her not being there to support Arnold in his last moments.Watching her join the group earlier made me scoff below my breath. Despite doing all of this, she would still viciously claim that she was in love with him. It was ridiculous.No, it wasn't satisfying enough to the group that I was about to execute myself while dragging heavy chains across the forest. They decided that they were going to mock me and do petty, ridiculous things like poking me w
Mildred POV"Millie, if it's a boy, are you fine with him having my grandfather's name?""Hmm, I was hoping that we could name him after my father…""Should we flip a coin over it?"This was the conversation that we had before the world fell apart. crackling I'm just crumbling like a world that I thought will stand forever. Suddenly, the world that I thought we had that was so firm was actually as fragile as a stack of cards messily placed on each other. It was just my imagination that it would last forever, but in a brief moment, a small wind came along and set everything to disaster.Back then I thought that we were going to have a happy family, the two of us and our baby and the ones that were to come.And now I had my fingers entangled in his own, from my side, I was strapped down with chains and on his own he was being held down by drips."Arnold, I am so sorry…"I had thought that I would not get the opportunity to see him. That was until I made a proposition, a proposal that no
Mildred POVSometimes I truly wonder if I am not the one that is cursed if my child is actually innocent and I am the problem here. Perhaps that is so and I am just making myself believe otherwise.I woke up feeling the cold concrete floor brushing against my skin as I stood up and then be clicking sound of chains filled my ears as I tried to sit up. The cold wrapped around me like a thick blanket, but despite this, there was an overwhelming heat that embraced my waist and my ankles when I took a closer look.I realized that with the help of the dull naked bulb that was swinging above my head, I was chained there.I bit my bottom lip as I stared at the chains contemplatively as though my eyes had never seen anything like it before. Maybe I was hoping that if I blinked enough times it would fade away, but, I missed and it would all be nothing but a blurry dream that had infiltrated my thoughts. Even after doing so, my eyes went wide like saucepans and I saw that it was nothing more tha
Mildred POVI took a few cautious steps back when I saw the aggressive look on her face and she noticed it."Why are you stepping back…I guess you already know what you did and that is why you are trying to run away now…"A heavy sigh carried my whole chest as I noticed that more and more people were beginning to look at her so I tried to subtly bring it to her attention, but she had a razor-sharp look at me, not minding that so many people were looking at us.Or maybe that was exactly what she wanted."So are you going to confess to what you did or are you going to play dumb and innocent…""I didn't do anything…at least not to you…" I clarified, but she suddenly stepped closer."Last chance…" she hissed."I didn't do anything gosh you people need to stop suffocating me," Then in a burst of emotions, I pushed her…I was so fed up…they watched me like I was a delinquent child and not even an adult with this uncomfortable bracelet on I was basically not even a threat at all and yet…they
Mildred POV"All better, do you think that anyone will notice?"This question was directed at the lady that was helping me to stitch up the dress. Fortunately, I was able to find a maid that was handy with the sewing machine and she had one within her reach to help me. She even added some decorations on top of the dress that made it more palatable to look at and the stitches more intentional, even though it was because of how randomly I had cut the dress.When she was finally done, she handed me the dress and I was standing in front of the mirror, even without all the extra stitches. I had a feeling that it was still meant to be short and revealing and it clung to me like a second skin. I turned around to look at how it was wrapped around my butt.Gosh if I even dropped anything at that worthless party and might as well just leave it on the floor for the rest of the night because there was no way I would be able to pick it up without unveiling myself in front of everyone.From the cor
Mildred's POVI had already tolerated so much from him and this was just too much."Take it back to him," I seethed at the maid with burning eyes and she looked at me like a deer in front of headlights."He…he told me that I shouldn't return it, he told me that I would be punished if I did…" She said, her voice shaking with unison to her body, I gritted my teeth as I paced around my room, this was the final straw…I couldn't allow him to turn me into his freaking puppet.He was just far too insufferable he knew that I wouldn't accept the dress and was now using the maid as a pawn I told her that she could drop the dress, all so that she wouldn't end up in trouble and dismissed her for my room.When I was done with my morning routine and my eyes went straight over to the box that was lying on my bed out of sheer curiosity I decided to look at the dress when I wasn't going to wear it no matter how pretty it was.That bastard's intentions towards me were crystal clear to the last thing I
