Happy New Year to you all my amazing readers
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
Alpha Arnold's POVI stood in front of my bedroom, my heart pounding and beating like a drum as my fingers hover over the door knob while my mind tried to trick me that she was not there beyond the door. For the first time in my life I had an unfamiliar feeling; Fear.It caused the hair on the back of my neck to stand up and my entire body felt cold even though my environment was fairly warm. I had never been afraid in my entire life, but the thought of losing her and our baby was enough for me to have that feeling that had never crossed my mind before. Finally, I took a huge gulp of air, grabbed the door knob and shoved the door open. And there was nobody in the bedroom. The ground spun below my feet, and I held onto the door for support as my chin clenched up. I should have known, that bastard rat was lying to me once again as he had done before in the past. Why had I even trusted him a second time "Arnold…" Oh my gosh I was missing her so much that my mind was even fabricati
Mildred's POV"Are you sure that you really want to know what I am?"Arnold asked me for the millionth time when the night had fallen and then I responded by shaking my head in approval and saying yes as I did before, whatever he was I hadn't seen any of his to be necessarily evil so I was going to give him a chance especially as he was the father of my unborn child the last thing that I wanted was for my child to grow up fatherless and I was sure that whatever he was, my child was also going to have some of his traits as well as mine, so I was prepared for whatever he was going to throw at me.When he saw that my where was as firm and strong as steel and it was no shaking it he finally took my hand and then led me outside the bedroom, and then at the ground floor of the huge mansion I could see that some people were gathered it was actually a little crowd and then there was a man in the middle of this crowd he stood out because he had this bright white cloth strapped all over his bod
Mildred's POV Fear washed over my body like a cold shower and I was shivering from the crown of my head to the tip of my toes. How did things get this bad? I had moved over to this place with my unborn baby's father hoping that I would be able to start a family, something that I never really had all my life and now all these things were just happening and colliding with each other as if it was against my destiny to be happy. Now I was just looking at my baby's father, with these thoughts in my mind, would my baby be able to see his father? Would he be nothing more than a memory by the time he/she was born? Even though I had practically shoved him away earlier as if he had some kind of horrible disease, he had been so considerate towards me and had even rushed forward to save me in this kind of situation when he could have just backed away and abandoned me after all I did. At that moment I looked into his eyes; and I saw that he was trying to give me assurance with them, telli
Mildred P.O.VThis man was going to be the death of me.The way he looks at me caused my blood rush across my cheeks, and definitely made them obvious enough for him to notice."Forget about that, what are you doing in my room in the first place?"I said in a raspy voice trying to divert the conversation to literally anything else.But then he stood up. I felt him take one step and then another close to me until the distance between us was slimmer than I remembered it.When I glanced back at him, he was standing in front of my face and asked me to repeat my question."Well, I can't even tell you now because I myself have forgotten about the question…"I said. Even though I remembered every single word and I could repeat the same things easily, of course I was not going to do that in front of him.He looked at me and his eyes seemed to waver from every direction possible before he finally responded."Oh well if you say so…"He said that but I had a feeling that he had already confirmed
Mildred POV I spent the next day indoors as well, not going out or seeing anybody else and my food was brought in by maids. But unlike the other day, my baby's father didn't come to check on me. As I sat on my bed and poked my food with a lack of interest, I told myself that it was better that he didn't come to check up on me but that didn't change the fact that I missed him and quite badly as well in fact at one point it would have been preferable if he actually came because his absence made me to think about him so much that if imagination was enough to make someone appear he would have been instantly summoned in my room. After eating half of my food, I lie down on my back and look up at the ceiling. As if the answer to my problems was waiting there, reality began to sink deep that this will soon be the rest of my life without him. I knew that eventually time come as an ointment on the skin but now it felt like a fresh cut. When I was going through moments like that I was close
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
