Mildred's POV I knew I should have never trusted this man in the first place, he had kept me in this cage that he called a cozy room for what practically felt like years now, and I felt like I was losing my mind. The only person that saw me apart from the maid that brought my food was the doctor that would personally come along to check up on me. But apart from them, I was not allowed to make contact with anyone else. I was not his freaking prisoner didn't he understand that? Now he was planning to go on a so-called business trip and abandoning me here with his baby. "You'll be taking me with you," I demanded in a very curt tone, as his eyes looked into mine defensively. "Baby I'm doing all of these for you" He was startled after he said that and his hands were coming closer to mine to pull me to himself, but I gripped his collar, and pulled it even harder. "You have no right to be babying me right now, the only way I'm letting go of this collar of yours is if you grab me and th
Alpha Arnold POVThe driver was able to find a good hospital and we rushed Mildred inside so that she would be tended to by the doctors that were there.I didn't want to disclose to them that she was a human yet, because that was not something that had gone completely public, rather I just told them she had a weak system and they should use drugs that were not too strong for the werewolf body on her.Maybe I would have to import some human drugs to my pack so I would be able to treat her because I didn't think giving her all these drugs in the long run would be good for her body.After impatiently pacing around in the waiting room for about 15 minutes straight, the doctor finally came to me with a calm smile when she told me that she was out of danger and I could finally breathe again.However my breath became a bit hitched when she told me that she was still unconscious, however she was bound to wake up before evening came. And I didn't have that much time. I didn't know what that cr
I was just staring at the blonde woman that told me that Mildred had been discharged hours ago, discharged by who? When? All of this was running through my mind until she finally came up with an answer."Well an Alpha came saying that you had instructed him to take your mate" After she said that I asked her to describe the Alpha and the description that she gave me matched perfectly with that rat that was I was supposed to take care of.As I was speaking, it was as if the ground beneath my feet was chattering piece by piece and I thought I was going to collapse. While I was going to look for that bastard he had somehow already started leaving his pack by the time I was coming for him and then not only that, he had been able to trace where I had taken my Mildred as well.This can only mean one thing, this man had planted a spy among my men that was probably feeding him with information. But the warriors I had brought with me had been one of my most trusted, was there really someone amo
Mildred POVWhen I opened my eyes, the first thing I thought about was looking for my unborn baby's father, but he was nowhere in sight, instead there was a drip in my hand and an unfamiliar person in a white coat looking down at me, and immediately my heart began to race with panic as I dragged my fingers into the sheets and backed up against the pillow that's was on the bed I was resting on.The man in the coat immediately approached me, placing his hand on my arm and telling me that I was in a hospital and that I was being taken care of.After calming down a little bit, I immediately began to panic again as I wondered if anything had happened to my baby, but the doctor reassured me that nothing was wrong with my baby, however I was not able to stay relieved for long because my next question was not answered positively."Please doctor, where is the man that brought me here to the hospital?"The doctor said to me in a calm soft voice that he would be coming back for me in the evening
Alpha Arnold's POV After that bastard left, I soon received a letter requesting an emergency council meeting concerning his removal from the position of Alpha and I approved the meeting stating that it had to be held in the normal place in the pack house. A secluded hall from the rest of the pack house, so that everything that would be spoken there would not leak through the walls. It was going to hold by tomorrow morning, and the only thing I could do at this point was wait. Sleep became my enemy last night, as it tried to seduce me into slumber, but I resisted it over and over again. How could I sleep comfortably without knowing the situation of my mate and our child? I had sent some spies to follow that bastard that took her, but he was actually more cunning than he looked and definitely not as stupid as he sometimes appeared to be because he made sure to go to a hotel instead of going to check up on her, meaning it would be hard to trace her from following him, however I still
Alpha Arnold POV I could see the worry that was moving around my gamma's eyes as we headed towards the meeting hall and that worry was not an over-exaggeration.Of course, there was so many things that was off about my former Beta's arrival, and so many reasons for me to throw him out of the pack house on his nose. However if he really had the information that he claimed he did and he wasn't lying then I really had no other choice than to tolerate him.All of these are for her sake to bring her back safe and sound along with our unborn baby; so there wasn't any choice here, we were the last to arrive at the meeting hall, and I had already placed my men strategically around the place so that nobody would come and intrude on our conversation and also for another reason.After I sat down all the Alphas stood up and greeted me as they should except for one who was technically not even an Alpha at all but still had the audacity to attend this meeting.I could see Colin's disgusting smirk
Mildred POVAs my vision finally cleared up, I recognized the man in front of me, the same person that had made Arnold agitated and the one that I saw attacking me in my dream. Nobody needed to tell me that I had to get out of his car immediately as well."Sorry can we stop somewhere I really need to ease myself" He looked at me and I could see that impatience was slipping into his eyes and then behind a grunt he told me."Can't you hold it in a little longer? We almost arrived at our destination as soon as he said that I began to panic even more and then I placed my hands on my stomach, whining loudly. I didn't know where he was planning to take me and honestly I was not hoping to find out either.Finally he could not take it anymore and the car packed abruptly with enough force that would have sent me flying outside the car if it wasn't for the fact that I was wearing a seatbelt."Five minutes," he said practically hissing through his teeth as he forced a smile."Please hurry back i
Mildred POVA growl immediately crawled out of my throat when I heard that man said that he was going to be crowned Alpha King, that means that everything that he was planning as I had been suspecting when he said he was going to use me for a bait.He was planning to hurt Arnold!I was immediately washed all over with regret and drenched completely by it. I should have listened to Arnold and just stayed put at his huge house till he had eventually returned. This was probably one of the enemies that he was talking about. Even though I was confused by what they meant by this title Alpha, I quickly brushed that concern under the carpet. After all, there are more worse things to be worried about: the fact that this man was planning to probably kill Arnold and another one was my leg.I was sure that I had been injured by that wolf, and yesterday there was not a single scratch to be found on my legs that proved that. However the safety of my unborn baby's father definitely came first.When
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
