The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 74: No More Secrets
-=Martina's Point of View=-I didn't know exactly how I managed to return to my room, but when I snapped out of my reverie, I realized I was back in my room.A deep sigh escaped my lips after I remembered what happened. I was already determined to tell Zion the truth, and yet, of all the time in the world, why did he have to leave the island without even telling me?I needed to reprimand myself, however, when I remembered that Zion left because he needed to see his doctor, which meant that he might be experiencing something serious, and with that in mind, my heart was filled with so much worry for him.I forgot to ask Zeke about Zion's condition and who was with him when he left. Again, I felt guilty for not being with him. I wanted to accompany him to make sure that he was alright, but at the same time, I couldn't bear to leave the island because of Kian.Thinking of Kian added to my grief and anguish. I felt like I had failed him, and my heart was filled with guilt once more.I was
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 75: I'm Sorry
-=Martina's Point of View=-I opened my eyes the following day, and even though I had just woken up, I felt like all my energy had been drained for some reason. I reached for my head and felt the sweat from my forehead, which was weird considering that my room is quite cold. I sighed deeply as I remembered my dream. It was still about Kian and Esmeralda, and there was someone I couldn't see no matter what. However, the voice was familiar, even though I was certain I had only heard it in my dreams. The dreams have been recurring for reasons unbeknownst to me, and in each of them, I feel a tremendous emptiness in my chest that I can't explain. No matter how hard I try, I can't come up with a plausible explanation for why I dream this way. "What is my connection with Kian and Esmeralda, and why do I keep having dreams about them? Is the Kian I see in my dreams the same Kian I met and learned to love while staying on this island?" Those were only a few of the thoughts racing through m
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 76: Their Deaths
-=Martina's Point of View=-"Why are you apologizing?" I asked, confused.I removed her arms from me and decided to face her. I could see so much guilt on her face, and it didn't make sense.She didn't say a word and just remained tongue-tied as she kept staring at me."Come on, Annie, you're making me worry," I said."I'm just sorry," she said, and before I could even react, she immediately turned around and walked away.I wanted to follow her but decided against it. I felt like she needed time away from me, but her action was bothering me so much.I mean, why would she apologize to me? It's not like she did anything wrong to me; in fact, I was the one who should apologize because of what I did, and I did apologize to her, which was why we had an agreement that I would confess to Zion about what I did wrong."It just doesn't make sense," I thought to myself, still thinking about Annie's weird action, but when I looked at the time, I realized that I already needed to leave and go to t
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 77: Morning Walk
-=Martina's Point of View=-"Finally!" I thought as the time to leave came. It seemed like a long-awaited release, a turning point I had been looking forward to.I took a moment to check my reflection in the mirror to ensure that my appearance was not too casual but also not too formal. As I looked at the image reflecting back at me, a smile instinctively formed on my lips.When I checked the time, it was exactly eight p.m., and I realized Kian was probably waiting for me at our secret rendezvous location. The anticipation of our secret encounter heightened the intensity of the moment.Reflecting on that hidden passage reminded me of the day I dug into the enigma, hoping to discover the truth behind its existence, but only to fail miserably.I still couldn't get any answers about how a secret passage was built inside this castle going to what everyone considered the most dangerous place on this island, but I didn't think much of it anymore because I was ripping the benefits of having
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 78: Okay
-=Martina's Point of View=-Speechless, I found myself in a state of confusion as Zeke guided me toward the dining room for breakfast, increasing my confusion.He instructed one of the servers to serve my breakfast and feeling hungry, I ate the food in silence, but my mind was working overtime as I secretly observed my surroundings.I didn't feel or see anything out of the ordinary, and Zeke was acting in his usual way, but for some reason, I could tell that there was something off at the moment, especially when Zeke asked me about my morning walk.First and foremost, I haven't seen or spoken to him since I was at Kian's earlier, so it doesn't make sense why he would presume I went for a morning stroll unless he was hiding something.Honestly, I wanted to confront him, but I was having second thoughts about doing that. Since I wasn't caught sneaking out through the secret passageway, I could still keep my secret, so I was still contemplating whether to confront him or act like nothing
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 79: The Study Room
-=Martina's Point of View=-I probably stared at her for a couple of minutes, looking at her with a dumbstruck expression on my face, before I finally snapped out of it and managed to speak."You are?" "Yes, let me just change my clothes before we leave, and you might want to tell Zeke that we are heading out," she answered nonchalantly, and even before I could say another word, she just turned around and walked away, just like that.I kept staring at her until she vanished from view, and it seemed to me that I must have been staring at her with awe-struck eyes, like a deer in a spotlight.I surveyed my surroundings, flushed with embarrassment, hoping that no one had witnessed my awkward moment, and thankfully, no one was in sight."Zeke, right," I muttered to myself.I started to walk, trying to locate where Zeke was, when I met one of the maids, who graciously told me where Zeke was.I walked to the second floor of the castle and walked to where Zion's study room was. When I arrive
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 80: An Unexpected Call
-=Martina's Point of View=-I could really feel that there was something off with Annie today. Don't get me wrong, she was helping me find Kian, and she was bringing me to places that Kian might have visited, but for some reason, I couldn't shake this feeling that she wasn't really that serious."Duh! Of course, she was feeling guilty helping me look for my lover when she respected and admired Zion, who happened to be my husband," I sarcastically told myself, which was why I was thankful for her help.I know she didn't really want to help Kian considering that he is the man I chose instead of Zion, but she still decided to help me, which only showed how big her heart is."Maybe we should take a break first, Martina," Annie suggested after we tried to check the third location.The sun's rays were blistering, and my vision was practically blurred from sweat. I honestly didn't care because all I wanted was to find and save Kian. However, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Annie, who was
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 81: Err... To Borrow a Key
-=Martina's Point of View=-"Good morning, Martina!" I was greeted by Annie's enthusiastic voice when I opened the door after hearing the continuous knocking, and it turned out to be Annie."Why... what are you doing here?" I asked, still sleepy from being jolted awake."Well, I figured that we could leave early, so we can search for Kian, and look, I even brought you your breakfast. Relax; I already talked to Sir Zeke, and he agreed," she explained."He agreed to what exactly?" I asked."He agreed for us to leave the castle again, and he agreed for me to bring you breakfast. Look, I got your favorite," she said.She invited herself in without waiting for my invitation. I just shook my head at her intrusion and felt guilty that I forgot to tell her that I already talked to Kian last night, and it didn't cross my mind to tell her since it was already late and I was really exhausted after searching for Kian almost the whole day.We shared the breakfast she brought, and while she kept on
