2024-10-29 19:42:56Mildred's POV
I tossed and turned sleepily on the bed, trying to touch the person I spent the night with, but the bed was empty.
I became agitated when I looked around and didn't see his clothes on the ground they were lying last night. I quickly rushed to the bathroom, but he wasn't there.
I thought as much, Mildred, you're just a fool.
I sat down and placed my two hands on my face, allowing tears to flow freely down my face.
Where could he be, where has he gone to? What came over me last night, why did I give in to a total stranger?
So many questions were running through my mind, and a call on my phone brought me back.
I rushed to get the phone, hoping he was the one calling to say he was sorry for leaving.
I picked up my phone to see that it was already past eight-forty and it was my boss from the magazine company that was calling.
Oh my God!
First of all, I met and slept with a total stranger, the same day I met him. Secondly, I drank to stupor for the first time in my life. Thirdly, I kept late night, forgetting completely about my job. And finally, I'm waking up at this time of the day!
'How did I become like this? Who is this man? Is he even a man? Maybe he's a ghost that used his spiritual powers on me to make me fall... Mildred you are done for. 'I thought as I cried harder.
'No need to cry Mill, it's not too late, you'll be fine.' I assured myself.
I got up and quickly put on my clothes, as I couldn't wait to bath and there was no clothes to change into if I bath.
I wanted to open the door when it opened on it's own accord. I thought and hoped it was him, but to my disappointment, it was the room service.
"Oh.. no! You ruined my breakfast on bed surprise." He grumbled and I smiled, wiping off a straying tears.
"Were you by any chance crying?" He asked and I shook my head.
"Lies." He smirked, as he took the food to the bed and I followed him, still unable to believe what just happened.
I sat with him to a breakfast of scotch eggs, toasted bread and cereals.
'He has such a weird taste.' I laughed.
"I'm sorry for giving you a wrong impression." He apologized and I beamed.
"Let's talk about each other," he said and I raised my head in surprise.
"Wh.. what are we?" I blurted.
"What do you mean? You are my mate, sorry, my wife to be." He replied without thinking.
"Wife to be when we just met?" I asked, looking fixedly at him.
"We made love last night.." he started, and I quickly covered his mouth with my two hands. He shook his head and my hands fell off. "Does that count for something?"
I was left speechless.
"I don't make love to just anyone. Mildred, you are everything I want." He said and brought his lips close to mine, and I closed my eyes.
I couldn't fathom what was making me give in this much, I had never felt the way I was feeling for him all my life and I couldn't explain it.
"Wh.. who are you?" I managed to ask, after a brief kiss.
"I'm Alpha Arnold McLean of the floral white pack," he replied, and I started laughing.
"You are so funny.." I started, but paused to think. "Are you a schizophrenic?" I covered mouth with my hands.
I knew I shouldn't ask such question, but I didn't give it a thought, I just said it on impulse, maybe I have bipolar.
The strange guy removed my hand from mouth, smiling sheepishly at me.
"You shall know more about me with time, but for now, let's be together, please stay with me and I will take care of all your needs..." I didn't let him finish his statement, before cutting in.
"My needs?" I snapped. "Are you mocking me? I can take care of myself, I can foot my bills."
I was getting angry as I spoke, as it felt like he was trying to look down on me, but I felt his soft, succulent lips on mine and everything evaporated.
"I'm sorry about what I said earlier, I didn't mean it that way. Please, can we eat? The food is getting cold." He pleaded and I obliged him.
"Mildred, I want to spend forever with you, I want to take you to where I live, I want to make you my queen forever." He said, holding my hand.
I almost choked on the food in my mouth, as I wasn't expecting all he was saying.
"Are you a king?" I asked.
"Ehmmm, you could say I'm a king, but not the way you humans see it."
His response was so scary that the spoon I was using to eat fell off my hand.
"Who are you?" I got up from where I was sitting, as my mind left me and started running miles.
He got up and walked to me. "Don't be scared Milly." He tried to hold my hand, but I moved back.
"But I'm scared, as a matter of fact, I'm very scared." Taking a deep breath, I adjusted backwards.
"I was only saying, I'm a human like you, so you don't have to panic." He attempted grabbing my hand again, but I pushed him off.
He staggered back and stood again. I wanted to believe him, but I couldn't wrap my head around why I was acting that way.
"Have you ever encountered anything out of the ordinary before?" He asked and I nodded.
I suddenly remembered when I was much younger, I saw something strange and terrifying that when I told my parents, they thought I was imagining things.
The memory was so terror-stricken that I forgot everything about it, so why the hell is going the memory coming now?
"I am waiting for an answer." His warm voice brought me back.
"I don't know.. I'm not sure." I said and sat back on the bed.
After managing to eat quietly, I decided it was time to go, since I couldn't meet up with the magazine company, at least I could go to the gym.
"Thank you for everything, but I have to go now." I said and got up.
"Please don't go Mildred, stay with me." He held my hand, stopping me in track.
I hated those words the most, I was deceived with those words. I've been so hurt by men that I didn't want to talk about it with anybody.
"After the betrayal I experienced almost a week ago, I didn't know I could want anyone else in my life, but Mildred, I want you." He mumbled those words in a way that I would have fell for him, if it wasn't for the heartbeat I had experienced.
"I have to leave now." I said, snatching my hand from his grip.
"I..." He started to say, but I cut him off.
"If we meet again, I shall give you audience, that means it's fate, but don't look for me." I said and walked out, hoping he'd follow me and make me stop.

I could feel how hurting my words were to him.I tried to forget about it and move on, but I kept seeing his pleading face.

I stuttered, trying my best not to show fear for the person standing in front of me.It was my boss from the newspaper company. He looked like he came for war and was ready to detach my head from my body."I.." I swallowed hard. "I woke up sick, and decided to go and get drugs.

Alpha Arnold McLeanI stood fixed watching my mate walk out on me and I couldn't do anything about it. I wanted to follow her, but I had to respect her wish and stay back.I felt hurt, and regretted what I said about being an alpha and different from humans.I went to the bathroom to take a shower before going to get something to eat at a restaurant close to the hotel, as the hotel didn't have what I wanted.I decided to call my mate, because I was already missing her, but her phone rang once and ended itself, after which it stopped ringing.I didn't know why, but I was feeling uneasy, so I quickly rushed to her house, but she wasn't there and the atmosphere felt tensed, even though I met no one there, I was still feeling uneasy.I went to her place of work, but she wasn't there either, and I heard her boss complaining that her number wasn't going through, that it was unusual of her not to be there at that moment.I was about to leave there when two police officers came and I felt my

Alpha ArnoldAt first, I felt like I had lost all my bearing. Usually, I would be composed, I hardly lost my composure ever and in the past hundred years that I have lived, I had never lost my composure, at least not this terribly.But now, I had lost my composure too many times in recent times. The first being when I was told that if I didn't find a mate quickly enough, I would become a wild wolf. Then finding Andrew messing with my supposed mate, my own beta, and now. Now! So many things had happened much recently and to think that I would find the mate of my dreams and she would be this way. I couldn't bear her words. What did she mean by that? She was not going to come just to see how I would fare without her? Just to deliberately break my heart? How? Couldn't she feel the bond between us as mates? Then why was she doing this? Her heart was breaking, but her face looked firm like she had definitely made a decision that she was not going to go back on."Besides, I have to look aft

MildredI wanted to go with him, I was drawn inexplicably to the idea, but I was bent on fighting whatever it was that made me want to go with him regardless.Was I supposed to up and leave with him? Wasting the twenty two years that I had built on my own and with my own strength, I wasn't so stupid, I decided.It didn't seems like he was lying, heck, he didn't seem like he was a person who would bring himself down to the degrading act of lying, he looked too dignified to do it.There was a sense of stiffness around him, a commanding sense about him, though he never used whatever persuasion techniques or command to compel me to do his wishes, I could tell that he could but was only choosing not to.A wayward part of me wished that he had tried everything he could to take me with him, it would be hard to resist him then, even now as I walked away from the hotel I had just gotten out from, I knew that if I wasn't decisive about where I was going right now, I would return to him.So, I h

Arnold I heard Mildred whisper, "I hope you come back soon". I mean, I am a werewolf my hearing is very sharp. I made myself walk away from her without another word, but I felt like going back to gather her into my arms. My wolf was trying to claw himself out of my body, but I succeeded in silencing him. I had to leave and go back to the pack, I cannot leave the pack for long. I decided to set up some security measures for my Mildred. I do not want to leave her defenseless against Jake and Aya. I woke up early the next day and checked out of the hotel. I decided to go to Mildred's house just to see her one more time before leaving. I called a cab and was on my way to her place in a few minutes. When I got there, I asked the cab driver to wait for me since I would not be staying long. I went up to her front door and immediately smelled Jake's scent, I saw red immediately. I was concerned about Mildred so I knocked on her door with an air of urgency. "What do you want?", Mildred de

MildredWaking up early this morning, I instinctively felt different. I felt kind of weird and I started to wonder why. I soon realized it was because of Arnold's absence, gosh! When did I meet him that he already means so much to me?I sighed deeply and I rolled out of bed deciding to get on with my day. I went into the bedroom and took my time with my bath, I loved the feeling of the warm water on my skin. Usually, I get a quick bath and called it a day, but whenever I had some time, I pampered myself."Ah, that was a relaxing bath. I should do that more often".I stood at the door of my wardrobe trying to choose my outfit for the day, I finally settled on a nice pair of jeans and a pink top with a flower pattern. I settled on a pair of pink sandals and satisfied with my look, I went to the kitchen to get breakfast. Normally, I just eat fruit or granola for breakfast because of my jobs, but today I woke up so early that I still had an hour to spare. I fried up some bacon and eggs ad

Alpha Arnold I knew I definitely had to tackle the matter presented to me by Ted. I was only gone for a few days, how did I get conspired against so fast? All these thoughts ran through my mind as I was scrubbing my back in the shower. Sighing, I got dressed and called Ted through the mind link. "Alpha." Ted called and bowed as I opened the door and invited him in to my room. I asked him to tell me all about the conspiracy. He declined any in-depth knowledge about the conspiracy and said he was just lucky and smart enough to realize what was happening. He heard stuff from Colin Gates by chance. I ordered him to mention all the others involved in the conspiracy and he told me he did not know about the ones from our pack if any was involved, but a neighboring pack's alpha and pack members were involved. I thanked him and dismissed him. Entering the dining area, I saw that a seat was already designated to me as Alpha of the pack, I chuckled softly and assumed my seat. A plate heaped

MildredI was not sick when I woke up this morning, but I didn't want to risk getting sick, so I didn't have breakfast. I just grabbed some saltine crackers and called in sick to all my work places. I decided to stay at home today to regain my strength.I also wanted to get some home pregnancy test packs to know for sure the cause of my illness. I really hoped I was not pregnant, I mean, the Father was gone and I don't even know anything about him. He was also kind of strange when he was here, I certainly won't like to birth a weirdo's child."Hey, what's up?"I was talking to Aya on the phone, I didn't want to pick her calls, but when she called the tenth time, I realized she wasn't letting it go so I picked the call. Normally, I would have called her to inform her about my sickness, but I was still wary of her."Girl, I have a bone to pick with you. What's going on with you? Let me rephrase that, what's been going on with you since all these days? I have been watching you, I was go

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

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.

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.

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 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
