The Alpha’s Lottery Wife 99
ZAVIERIn a few days our agreement would end and the contract marriage would be dissolved, at first I couldn't wait for this to happen but as it is now closer than ever I dreaded it. I sighed absentmindedly as I fiddled with my food. I occasionally stuff my mouth with food and chew for a very long time to avoid anyone knowing that I wasn't fine.My mind wasn't at rest as dozens of questions coursed through it, what was the next line of action? Would I just stand back and watch everything go down the drain? I looked at the faces at the table and they all beamed with smiles while I fake a smile as well."Are you enjoying the food?" Raini suddenly asks, startling me.I almost jumped out of my skin in fright but I was quick to mask my shock and fake a smile."Of course I am." I said convincingly.She looked unconvinced but chose to let it go. I let out a breath which I didn't know I still held in, there were a lot of things to do and this one was just too urgent. There was no one I could

RAINIUnder the rays of the moon and the wind blowing through the garden I walked slowly deep in thought, intrigued about how the whole situationship had gone, all that filled my mind were the thought of the thrills it came with as well as the ups and downs.I imagined if I lay on the brick patio all day and dwell in my thoughts, from the kidnap to Giselle threat's at the beginning, the scenario with the daffodils all it left was a sigh.“Really, Raini,” I cautioned myself.It was hotter than blue blazes out here around this time of the month and I could tell already that the high-waisted shorts and a short top I was wearing won't be enough to put the whole stress away all I wanted this moment was a good swim, but it was too late to do that as wellA Drop of sweat still ran down my back. Just as I heard something move behind me , I turned to see who it was, hoping it wasn't Zav as I wouldn't be able to handle everything at the moment, not with the rate at which my heart was beating.

ZAVIERI watched from where I lazily sat on the couch as Bianca walked into the house. I waited for Raini to walk in behind her but she wasn’t with her which I wasn’t expecting.I jolted my upper body up from the couch, my eyes still trailed on Bianca. “Where is Raini? Isn’t she supposed to be with you?” I inquired with a crouched brow.“Hey to you to Zavier and yeah Raini was supposed to be here but she claimed she needed some time alone, so she is somewhere around the woods by herself having some alone time which I think she deserves” Bianca dropped herself down on one of the couches opposite me and sighed heavily.“Yeah I guess you are right. She surely needs time to think everything through and get herself together” I agreed, going back to my previous position.“She hasn't been herself lately, dealing with everything has been so hard and I think it is finally catching up to her. She seriously needs more than just a lone time in the woods but that will have to do for now until ever

RAINIIt was just a day and a half before I left and as it was turning out, it was starting to look like this attraction was kind of stressing at the same thing I had to deal with reluctantly.Was this feeling perfect?Was it just mere lust or an infatuation?As that was the only thing I could feel even after all this while, it been nights while he had touched me, but still I couldn't stop thinking about him, and wishing for him to do it over and over again till I have no other part of myself to give away, I wanted him but as it turned out I was still having a hard time making up my mind.I closed my eyes. I could literally hear Bianca's heart beating as she shut the door, though deep down as well. It was as though my heart was going to fall as well with the sky that was dark and was apparently hovering over me.My chest tightened, as I looked down at the dark wood that kept beckoning.It looked calm enough to take a long walk at the same time. After the howl I heard while having

ZAVIER“Where could she be?” Bianca said, already panicking looking around the forest.It was evening already and it was getting dark, what if she didn’t go in there and it was all a mistake . She could be somewhere else but if they went in there looking for her and it later turns out that she didn’t go in.“Where did you say you left her?” I asked, looking around still wanting to go in.I won’t only be putting my life on the line but also Bianca.“I left her here, she was right here, are you sure she didn’t go in?” Bianca asked, walking ahead ready to go through the oath of the forest.“Wait, you are not thinking of going in there are you?” I asked, dragging her back.“Yes I am, which type of question is that? Aren’t you worried about her?” She asked, looking at me with a doubtful look.“Yes I care about her , so much but how are we sure she went in there? We can’t be sure she actually went in there, there isn’t any proof or anything we can’t barge in.”“She would be in there, I kept

RAINI My heart raced against my chest and I couldn't believe what was happening around me neither could I make sense of what I was seeing. I owed my eyes and breathed in and out.'This is a dream, this is just a dream Raini, calm down. You'll wake up anytime soon just calm down, it's nothing but a terrible nightmare.' I muttered to myself.I repeated this procedure two more times and I became surprisingly calm though my eyes were still shut. I could hear no sound save for the sound of the breeze that wheezed past my eyes and the twigs that were shaken but the fierce but gentle wing that threatened to cut them off. Silence was all I heard afterwards and this assured me I was truly dream.My eyes fluttered open Andi jumped backwards in fright, in front of my was the biggest wolf I'd ever seen. I've seen wolves many times when I went hunting or in the woods but never have I set eyes on one which looked ten times bigger than a normal wolf. Though it's furs danced to the tune of the wind

RAINII couldn't believe my eyes, Zavier smiled at me and I felt a bit relieved. His eyes seemed to soothe me and I found peace in them but the next second an image flashed across my very eyes which scared me. It was the image of the big majestic wolf which saved me and as Zavier moved closer to me I saw the semblance between them.Instinctively; I shifted uncomfortably on the bed, I he'd my head with my head's and closed my eyes. By the time I opened them Zavier was seated besides me on the bed, it was then j realized that the feeling I got when I was about to die was the same I felt just now around Zavier, he reached out and touched my hands and how relatable it to the touch I felt after I went unconscious."Get your hands off me!" I screamed and slapped his hands away.Zavier was shocked and looked at me with those huge blue eyes of his, my head was spinning and I couldn't even differentiate between reality and mere thoughts but I was certain that the incidence that happened before

ZAVIERI was still trying to come to terms with everything that had been happening. It all happens too fast and gets me really tired and overwhelmed.Anybody that is familiar with me knows how I so much hate things that are out of my control. I tried as much as possible to keep everything within my power but sometimes, things just have to go haywire.The main issue I am dealing with is that of Raini. I know she has every right to do whatever she felt like doing after finding out I was a werewolf. I would have let her know in a better way but I just like I said, sometimes things just wouldn’t go the way you want them to.I gently swirled around the glass cup in my hand, the red wine dancing to whichever direction I pushed the cup. I was so deep in thought, my mind thinking of several ways to right my wrongs.If I'm not facing the door, I wouldn’t know that Raini walked into the kitchen. Immediately she saw my form sitting at the far end of the island, she turned away, about to walk bac

RAINIZavier looked at me for a minute, and it was as though he didn't believe what I just said about killing Trinity.For some reason I couldn't get over the fact that the dandelion mystery was back, in a way that looked most frustrating. Zavier had found the dandelion and came back with it, I could tell that the same person had been after me all this while.All concerns that it had been Giselle were far off from my memory since she had faced the same fate when she was found murdered in her home.Keeping all fingers crossed we had to wait just as he had said there was nothing we could do, then wait out all of this till it was over.All this would have been possible if I didn't get the anonymous call.I turned to look at Zavier who was sleeping and walked away to the bathroom to pick, perhaps I could tell what he was going to say if he listened or I wasn't sure if I could trust him enough just yet ."Hello?" I asked, filled with uncertainty."Hello." River voice came back trembling.I

ZAVIERWe spoke to the detective for more than twenty minutes giving him everything that was needed to find River, for me it wasike going through this ordeals again, the first time had been when I had to deal with Raini getting kidnapped and this was the second.Like the detective had told Bianca and myself there was definitely an insider there was no sign of anyone breaking into her apartment.Raini was obviously tired and perhaps hitting her second trimester was starting to weigh in on her as she was asleep as we walked down the hallway to her room.She was right there still asleep in her bed. I walked into her bedroom and sat in a chair close to the window near the bed.With the whole feeling complicated Iclosed my eyes and just took a moment formyself, taking in much breath as much as I could whole reflecting back on the entire situation.I haven’t had too many of these moments in the last few days, moments where I had to reflect on everything that was happening, the truth was

IRENEIt was still hard to take in and at the moment, my mind was racing at the moment.It was clearly on the wall, I couldn't miss it, not after how long I had stayed there with them. At that moment my mind was In a total mess.I stood right there with my head against his shoulder crying, perhaps if I had come in here a bit quicker I would have been able to save my sister.What I couldn't understand was why they had taken her."What did River say when she called?" He asked.I sniffed.With a shaky breath, I began to tell him about how she had called and why she had left in the first place.I explained why I didn't call him before leaving and everything from how I had felt angry when I got here and found nothing but the house in total mess.There was a lot to talk about and he listened to every bit of it. All I wanted to do was get rid of everything in my chest and get everything out in the open. I didn't hold anything back from him as I felt weak …Too weak." Why did they take her?"

IRENEI drove out of the car park as quickly as I could all that filled my mind while driving past the oak trees that surrounded the thick wood shrouding Zavier's home was the safety for my sister, the thought was heavy on my mind as the more I thought about it, the harder it was for me to comprehend.At the back of my mind was the question asking why she had spoken in such a haste, there was a sound of silence before ending the call and despite trying to get her it was certainly difficult to.I thought about calling Zavier but opted against it in my mind as I continued with my trip…The speed I was driving at was so much that it took the thought of the twins I was carrying to make us reduce the speed.As I drove out of the gates and as I did,II spent the next few hours trying to purge Zavier out of my mind, so I replaced it with other thoughts.Or at least my thought was replaced by the thought of my sister River.I purposely looked at my phone again,keeping her call on redial w

ZAVIER.“Stupid move today, man.” Bianca said to me as she sat on my office couch while looking at my face.She was looking at me,in a manner that seemed so complicated."Where did you say she went to again?" I asked since she was the only one that had been with her all this while.I flicked a glance toward her since she had been the only one with her when she had gone out.We were having a good conversation about how my time with Raini had gone.I rubbed a hand across my smile. “I just assumed that she would want to talk to me after what she did."“You assumed wrong,” she said dryly. “She is a woman, she doesn't care about all of this.""You all are complicated." I said, rolling my eyes.Bianca looked at me laughing "With all the shit you’ve done, and the fact that you lied it would be hard for her to trust you again."I sank a little further into the couch.“Everything I do is premeditated. I think about it —You don't expect that I will not tell her about all of this" I said look

RAINITwo quiet knocks sounded on the door, and I walked toward the door to get it opened.From the conversation I had with Bianca it was obvious I had to talk with him. I had been thinking about going to his room but didn't really have the confidence just before the knock came in.When I saw it was Zavier standing on the other side, I stood straighter at the doorway looking into his eyes.With his hair combed back, in a casual shirt and Jean, his countenance appeared welcoming and breathtaking at the same time.His eyes held my stare as I looked at him, in a way it looked as though it was filledwith cold resonance—perhaps he was still angry about what I had said earlier."Are you busy?" He asked."Yeah, not doing anything now." .Every synapses in my body raced as I stood back and watched him as he walked in.My eyes widened on him. As he walked Into the room making way to the window,he stood right there and looked out of the window.Shutting the door, I sighed deeply as I walke

RAINIBianca wasn't the first to warn me about the woman and now that it made two people tell me, it felt like the universe was screaming out something and I would be a fool not to listen.Trinity made her way back. There was an exchange between the two women as it looked as though she had heard something that was being saidIt looked not too certain that she must have heard her as if in a kind of distance."I have to leave, there is something I have to do."I merely nodded my head as I thought it was better she did before any altercations started up.I never expected that they would get along, Trinity never got along with anyone except me and I guessed it had something to do with me seeing the best in people.I walked with her to the door and after closing it behind her, I turned and smirked at Bianca."What?" She shrugged. "I am just telling you the truth. " You should really look into that girl."I sighed and fell back in my seat. I’d been excited about having her over but it look

RAINI-Everything was building up inside of me and I didn’t know the best way to make myself feel better than to cry.I felt so disappointed in myself for not being as strong as I thought I should be but there was nothing I could do.I wanted the best for my children and the fear that something might happen to them made me lose faith IN myself.I started sobbing, sitting up on the bed because the tears were not just coming, I felt Indulged and very weak to have to break down because of something like this.This wasn’t minor, this was my unborn kids and I was already failing as a mother and even before they were born.Just then I heard a knock on the door interrupting me and I immediately wiped off my tears.I wondered if my tears woke up someone but I didn’t think I was sobbing that loud.“It’s me bianca, I know you’re awake, Raini opens the door.” She said gently from the other side of the door.I stood up and walked over to the door and opened the door for her and she walked in.“Co

RAINI“Is there anything you can do to help me make sure they will be safe?” I asked in a shaky voice.My babies, how could they be in danger when they aren’t even in the world yet?“There is nothing. After using the drugs I think it should all go well but I can’t say.” The doctor said picking up her documents and ready to leave the ward.My heart shattered, I didn't know how I was supposed to react to something like this and why things have to get this complicated for me.I was managing to do everything and being my best for my unborn children but everything seemed to be fine till Zavier came back into our lives.“Are you sure there’s no expensive treatment we can use to make sure they would be safe? You can’t just put us on hold.” Zavier finally said walking ahead to the doctor:I didn’t know how I was supposed to feel about all of this but I knew for certain that any money from now I was going to flare out.“No, at this point after getting the drugs, there is nothing that we can do
