SYLVIA'S POVWe walked into the pack house, the little girl Vani,. Wont quit clinging on me. I'm beginning to love her already and her dad, I don't have much to say about the Alpha." They are rules guiding the pack house! You are expected to abide by all of them or you would be punished equally like every other wolf, " Hailey said, after we stepped into the pack house before walking away.It's obvious she is jealous of you, because you got a mate and she doesn't!, My wolf scoffed." Don't worry about Hailey, she will come around sometime. Not all the time though" Vani whispered the last part." Hailey , isn't really friendly with my visitors most especially, if they end up to be women. She would come around though! " The Alpha smiled." Daddy you smiled, okay... There is no one here, so what's the secret? Is she your long lost lover? Come on daddy tell me, I'm so curious right now!" She asked curiously." She is my mate dear!" I replied, she gasped in surprise. She went on her knees
VANI'S POVA knock at the door interrupted our moment, "I will tell you everything later, it's best for dinner time. You need to get change immediately, can't come over to dinner looking like this." Sylvia's bright eyes met mine, and I could see she cared about me, not just me but my dad too. I thank the moon goddess for this day.Sylvia walked into the restroom to take her bath while I answered the door. It was Nanny Gladis, my personal nanny!" The Alpha requires your presence, young mistress!" She announced, wait young mistress? What happened to the mistress? " Young mistress?" I asked for confirmation." Yes, young mistress! The king's order." She bowed before taking her live" Now I understand, my dad actually ordered her to call me a young mistress,that's unfair."She stammered and spoke with a tremble. She admitted, her body quivering with fear, "I'm sorry." "I don't have anything to put on though...." What I heard almost caused my eyes to jump out of their sockets. My mouth
***SILVIA'S POV ***A faint beep echoed its way to my awareness. It sounds rhythmic to every heartbeat, pulling me back to consciousness. “What I don't understand is why she would make an attempt to take her own life. Do you think she doesn't like it here?" Derrick's voice , sounding like an echo pierced the air tinged with sadness and confusion. My eyes darted onto the syringe attached to my palm, reminding me of my vulnerability, and an intravenous tube attached to it. “ Hailey! Why didn't she try to stop her? .” His voice sent chills down my spine, I tilted my head to his direction.Swiftly, I sat up, but winced in pain the moment pain racked my body. “How did I get here?” Fear was evident in my trembling voice as the memories flashed through my mind. “Did I-I hurt ?”“Calm down. You're just surprised, you would be fine. ,” he assured, nodding in agreement. “You don't have to panic, okay? You would be fine.”“What happened?” I asked myself, creasing my forehead unto an even deep
Chapter 7 **VANIS POV** My heart leapt into my throat, and I blinked rapidly, wondering what the important information was. The atmosphere grew silent for some minutes, so I gave her a questioning look. Isn't it too early to know the secrets around this palace? " It's about Hailey, she is in love with dad. Well, I've seen her severally stare lustfully at him and she craves power. I did think that the moon goddess would merge her as my dad's mate. I prayed against that and I'm so glad it didn't happen. " She sighed. " Oh! About that, I noticed. She didn't welcome me into the palace like you guys did. I knew she had something up her sleeve and was up to no good but I just played along. " I said, and she gave me a confused look. Probably, wondering how I knew. It was obvious and she also had to push me off a cliff to get rid of me. " Why don't we set her up? Maybe put her in a trap or something." She suggested. " How..." The nurse interrupted by coming in with some file in her hand
**SILVIA'S POV**I sat beside Vani, stranding her hair gently, as the smell of strawberry filled my nostrils." Can I call you mum?" She asked, pouting her lips. Not even the devil can reject this offer right now. I'm so lucky! I nodded my head in reply, as tears streamed down my cheeks. " Thank you Mom!" She said, pulling me into a hug. My heart rate increased, I can't believe the moon goddess granted me two gifts at a time, a child and a mate.I strand her hair till she falls asleep, I head back to my chambers but was stopped by Hailey. She gave me a dead glare as she walked towards me. " Nice act! I was quite impressed, having Insomnia on your very first day in the palace. What more would happen if you continue to stay in this palace huh? " She smirked. I swallowed a huge gulp, trying to stay calm. She is really stepping on my toes, it wouldn't be funny if I make any attempt to teach her a lesson." I want to go to bed Beta Hailey!" I said with my head down on a bow. I was trying
**SILVIA'S POV**We came over to the Oak tree, waiting for hours but there was no sign of Hailey or my mom. Derrick got impatient and suggested we leave." To be honest, I was quite surprised when you said that Hailey had mischievous plans, I wanted to see for myself. " He said pecking my hair, as we stood in front of my chamber." Maybe, you were just tired to think that Hailey would hurt you, she is a really nice person and only cares about everyone's well being." He smiled.I lay on my bed, processing everything that weirdly happened. Did Hailey quit because the Alpha got involved? That was a perfect place to take down an enemy without getting caught, why didn't she do it? and with that I drift into the world of the unknown.**BREAKFAST TABLE ***We sat at the breakfast table having breakfast, silence evap all over the dinning room." How are you feeling now Sylvia?" Derrick asked, breaking the silence." I-I I'm .... "" She is probably fine Derrick, you can tell by the way she is
SILVIA'S POVThe Alpha stood still, watching them closely, he shivered in fear moving backward, within a blink of the eye they vanished into thin air." What are those things?" I asked, in shock. There is no way a shadow looking human can disappear into thin air right? Because that is so weird and scary too." We need to go inside now, Sylvia. I would send the guards to pick Vani from school at noon, she is quite stubborn and might choose to walk alone. " He said pulling me Into the castle. Why isn't he answering my question? We got to the Alpha chambers, he locked his door knob sighing in relief." Are you okay?" I asked, staring at his worried face." I might be an Alpha and at the same time, I also have my weak moments too. I don't know what to do. " He sighed, rubbing his forehead in distress. I still had the questioning look on my face." Hey, it isn't something really serious." He said, releasing a fake smile on his face. It wasn't serious and he broke down in a minute? How is t
***HAILEY'S POV***I was ordered by Derrick to pick Vani from school, he only gives such orders whenever he senses danger. He kept ignoring my questions, ever since his little witch came over to the palace, he became quite weird and crazy. She took everything from me, ruining the plans I had in the future.Vani got into the car, slamming the door angrily. She wasn't in a good mood, well she is never in a good mood. All that changed ever since her new mommy arrived at the mansion." What is it dear?" I asked, sounding really nice. I need to get on her good side, that's the only way to win the heart of her father right? That's what every kid craves for anyway." Why are you asking? You never care, it's too late. I can never learn to love you." She scoffed." What are you saying? I was just asking a question, I am your father's Beta and it is my duty to make you happy. " I said, with a smile on my face. She wasn't buying the act and I was already getting sick." Back to the palace Scott!
