Zoey’s POV
I was in my room having a chat with my wolf, Rizz, when someone came to knock on the door.
Out of curiosity, I went to check who it was. My heart raced inside of me. I thought it was Charlotte.
I was excited. I opened the door only to meet the large eyes of a stern woman. She was in her late forties. She had auburn hair, wrinkles on her face and an aggressive pout.
She was not smiling and her demeanor was….scary,.
Her hands looked large and hard, I guess it was from years of working so hard.
“Zoey Ellis?” She asked with an unshaken voice.
“Yes. Yes ma'am,” I replied.
She used her eyes to continue assessing me. She stared at me and I saw her eyes constantly moving from my head to my toes.
“You're still in your nightwear. It's almost noon!”
I was kinda confused. Did she forget I was a rogue?
I did not have clothes apart from this one white gowns and a towel Charlotte brought me.
“Forgive me,” I apologized. “But I don't understand you.” I wanted the woman to say something.
Did the Alpha ask her to summon me?
“Don't you understand English?” She asked me rudely.
I did not know what to reply to her so I stretched out my arms for her to see. When I was done, I proceeded to tell her that I did not have any other clothes.
“This nightwear is the only clothes that I have. And it was brought to me by Luna Charlotte. She gave it to me yesterday.”
The old lady stood in silence for sometime, then she apologised. “I'm so sorry, Zoey.”
After she finished apologizing, she left the entrance of the room.
“I think we have a mild case of medical marijuanaaa….” Rizz joked and I could not help but to burst out laughing.
I still stood at the door because I had a feeling she would come back.
“Stop, Rizz. You're hilarious,” I replied to Rizz. “I actually think it's early Alzheimer's. Don't you see the wrinkles on her face?”
Rizz cackled slowly. I liked the way she laughed. I was not one to mock someone but that old lady deserved to be put in her place.
And besides, I was always lonely since my parents and siblings died. It felt nice to have someone to talk to.
A genuine friend. Someone I know would have my back, not someone that would leave me after a day or two or betray me.
“The wounds on your legs are severe. Why haven't they taken you to the pack's clinic?” Rizz asked me.
I was mute. I had expected Charlotte to offer to ask a nurse to treat my wounds or comment about it, but she did not.
She didn't even take her time to look at my body. She just got up and left.
I was hurt. I was not that much of a strong wolf. I was an omega, so I healed slowly.
Rizz being back in my life would also speed up my healing process. But it won't be as fast as an Alpha’s.
“Don't worry about my Rizz. I'll be fine. Besides, now that you're back, I know you'll do your magic.”
Rizz was right. I wonder if Charlotte and her husband still viewed me as a dangerous rogue. I knew trust would take some time.
I could feel Rizz. I could feel that she was angry at Charlotte for not helping me.
“I'll just use some hot water to massage the open wounds. It will be gone in no time. I guess the Alpha is still suspicious of me,” I did not want Rizz to dislike Charlotte.
“The little wolf you fancy. The Luna. What has she said about this?”
“It's not her fault, Rizz. Don't worry about her!”
“Right?! Then she'd run back here when she needs a shoulder to lean on. Sorry for offending you, Little Miss Rebound!” Was Rizz rizzing me?
I blushed. Rizz clocked me. She was too smart. Rizz was a very judgemental person. She easily cancelled people.
“Rizz you're worrying too-” I was about to get mad at Rizz for trying to blame it on Charlotte when the woman came back.
She just pushed open the door without saying a word, once she was inside she banged it.
She brought some clothes for me and tossed them on the bed. “Dress up, quick!”
Although I did not know who she was and who sent her, I had no choice but to obey. I was just a homeless rogue who sought shelter in this pack.
I could feel Rizz rolling her eyes. “Is this how people in this pack behave? So uncultured?”
I wanted to giggle out loud but I controlled myself. I did not want this lady to think I was mocking her.
“So we left the other pack and came here just to see this foolishness?” She asked again.
“Girl stop!!”
“Just stop!!” I mindlinked to Rizz.
I was tired of making funny faces.
“Why is your face like that? Are you holding in fart?” The lady asked me.
“Here comes the patient…” Rizz continued her jokes.
“No, no ma'am. I'm fine.”
“I see,” the lady began to inspect the room.
“So you're a rogue?” The lady looked at me in disdain.
She then touched one of the tables and jumped like she had seen a ghost. “I thought it was a rogue virus.”
I shook my head in disappointment. Drama Queen.
“What is a rogue doing inside the pack's walls? Are we safe?” She asked all sorts of questions but I snubbed her.
When she saw that I was going to keep ignoring all of her questions, she proceeded to introduce herself. “Anyway. I'm Miss Donna. I assume you know who I am.”
“No ma'am, I don't know.”
“I'm the head maid. I'm supposed to assign you to a duty post.”
“Alright ma'am,” I had finished dressing up by this time. I was uncomfortable while preparing because she was watching me.
We walked through the palace hallways and once we stepped outside the main door, I could hear two people's voices.
The voices of the people were in a serious argument.
“Here!” Donna said and tossed me a rag.
You'll clean the outside windows of the administrative block,” she pointed at a yellow building.
“A maid had kept a bucket with some cleaning liquid close to the main window. Start work!” Donna commanded and walked away.
As I walked closer to the administrative block, the voices got louder. I did not recognise who owned the voices so it did not concern me.
I reached the main window and was about to start cleaning when I turned my face towards the garden.
The voice belonged to Charlotte.
She and her Alpha were arguing.
Her Alpha was hugged up on a lady and he was being defensive about it.
A sudden feeling of anger came over me. If I had my means I would've punched the Alpha.
Why was her alpha behaving that way? After some time, her maid dragged her away.
She began to walk towards where I was standing.
I tried to stare at her, but it seemed she was avoiding my gaze.
I wanted to wave at her but I also did not want to call attention to my side.
Was she ashamed of me?
Clara’s POVI woke up that morning with a terrible headache. Oh no, don't tell me it was happening again–Morning sickness?I'll be damned. I just entered my third trimester.I had morning sickness in my first trimester and after that, it stopped.I did not expect that my third trimester would come with another round of the dreaded and constant vomiting, stooling and a headache.After I finished my first round of vomiting in the bathroom, I took a late shower and brushed my hair.I loved to look visually pleasing so I did my makeup and wore something sexy. If I wanted Nicholas to wife me up, I had to look sexy at all times for him. I went to knock on Nicholas' door. He did not open.I saw one of the maids walking with an empty tray of food. “Hey! Come here!”The maid acted kike she did not hear me. She kept walking away. I angrily dragged her to where I was standing. “Are you deaf? Are you stupid?”“Why did you act like you did not hear me calling your name?” I then pulled her ears.
Charlotte's point of viewMy maid, Eloise, led me away from the scene and I walked with my head facing the ground.My Wolf winced inside of me. She hated Nicholas for this.“I've told you to reject this idiot and move on, you'd never listen. Your mate bond with him is fading. We are getting weaker. Can't you see?” She howled inside of me. “If I catch that idiot, I swear I’d skin him alive. Look what he's turned you into. A laughing stock.”I could understand her pain. It was not easy to just pull away from someone you loved.Something inside of me told me that one day, Clara would pack up and leave. My staff, they all stared at me. They all witnessed the embarrassment I faced this morning. I was too ashamed to look at their faces.Nicholas threatened to slap me. My mate threatened to lock me up in a room because of a lady. A mutt named Clara. It was a very big slap to my face.I saw her. Zoey.She paused the work she was given to stare at me.Gosh!! My heart began to beat fast.Th
Clara's POVNicholas had agreed to follow me to the garden for a picnic. “Ummm…Nick, I need some canapes. I also want some red grapes, quavas and some mangoes. I continued making demands of all the things that I wanted. The grass in the area that I would lay the mat also needed to be mowed properly.I was allergic to grass and would feel a kind of way if it touched my skin or anything. I was already a princess in my father's castle and I was used to having the best. Why would I settle for less in a man's pack?I had other boyfriends but no one of them was rich as Nicholas.Nicholas was the wealthiest, strongest, most handsome, he had the best dick game and the had the largest pack. I had tried to seduce him into ending his marriage and taking me as his Luna, but he told me he loved only one woman which was his mate, Charlotte and whatever we were doing was just for fun and pleasure.When I began to nag him into changing his mind, he cut me off and refused to speak to me, not until
Nicholas’ POVImmediately Charlotte left the scene and I was wrapped up in Clara's embrace, I could feel the judgemental stares of my workers on me. “YOUR WORKERS WILL HATE YOU!” MY WOLF WAS IRRITATED.“Do you want them to think their alpha is incompetent?” He continued.“Stop. You're making me feel like I'm one evil villian in a story.” My wolf knew how to get to me.“Of course. You're a villain. It's just that you're a villain in your own story. You're using your own hands to spoil your life.” My wolf continued.My wolf loved to speak in parables. What was he trying to say? Why could he not be coherent? I won't lie though… I was beginning to enjoy Clara's company.She was just being so sweet, so tender and so soft-spoken these days. My heart began to pound in my chest. I did not have any ounce of feelings for Clara. I just did this because I wanted her to feel relaxed and happy before she gave birth.I loved Charlotte for real. Charlotte was the love of my life and my childhood l
Charlotte's point of view A week had passed since my husband, my supposed Alpha, had forced himself on me.I told him that the doctor had asked me to stay away from any form of intimacy till my wounds healed, but I was lying. I had already decided that this time, even if he bought all the designers in the world, I would not forgive him for what he did to me.The way he tried to apologize that day was so hypocritical.He apologised to me like he had the right to my forgiveness. The only person I had seen during my confinement was my personal maid, Eloise.I wondered what Clara and Nicholas were now up to.I wondered if they still had picnics in the garden.I thought about Zoey..ugh! Zoey.I just hoped they treated her well. I hoped the head maid had used this opportunity where I was not up and about to apportion her to all sorts of rigorous chores.The type we gave to only rogues and prisoners.I thought about Zoey everyday. Did she have more clothes? Had she seen her period for the
Charlotte's point of viewI held the bottle of champagne and was making my way to Zoey's room when I overheard Clara's voice ahead of me.The room Nicholas had moved her into was a grand room that was two rooms away from mine.The rooms in this line were reserved for royal guests and visitors. How dare Nicholas move this tramp to my reserved room?I personally designed all of these rooms. I could also hear Clara's loud voice. She was giving orders.“Move this ugly ottoman from here. I wonder who put this. Is this the 1950’s?” She was asking them to move stuff out of the room.Servants were coming out from that direction. I was beginning to rethink my decision.What if someone saw me go into Zoey's room?I wanted to pass Clara's room when I heard her shouting my name. “Charlotte!”I refused to stop. I heard footsteps behind me. Clara was running towards me. She touched me and I flinched. I stepped forward, turned around and stopped walking.She then stood in front of me, heaving.“I j
Nicholas' point of viewI knew my brother was going to be here today. The rogue attacks had gotten worse and we had to try our best to secure the perimeter.I invited some Alphas to come over too for lunch. Last week, one of the rogues wounded my beta severely.We set traps for them. They entered the traps but before my soldiers could get them, they had escaped. It seemed someone was here giving them information.It seemed we had a middle man problem. I left Charlotte in the room. Today was the end of our bonding moon. I called it a bonding moon because I used the week to bond and have lots of sex with her.My Alpha energy was replenishing and I felt like I was strong enough to go camping in the woods. I would go with my beta, my brother, Landon, my friend, Alpha Liam and a few other alphas that would volunteer. I also made sure to do right by Clara so that my unborn baby's blessings can be transferred to me. I moved Clara into a bigger room, paid for her to have the best interior
Charlotte's point of viewWhen Clara walked into the garden, I felt like breaking one of the wine bottles on her. Luna Chloe would spread this gossip to all my friends. I was very sure.I could already see the astonishing look on everyone's faces. Only the men managed to have a bit of composure. She even gave Nicholas a nick name. I could see that Nicholas was melting in embarrassment.He kept stealing glances at me to read my facial expression but I remained composed.“Stupid, stupid,” Cece, my wolf, had awoken from her sleep and slumber.I knew this was going to happen. Riley led me to the room that was given to her and her husband.The maid had just dropped us off. “If you need anything, you can always call the number on the room telephone. I'll be glad to be at your service,” the maid said and left.The room was not bad, but it needed a lot of work. It was kind of small. I wondered why Nicholas did not hand over the other big room to his brother.“Beautiful. Charlotte you guys a
Zoey’s PovViewers discretion!!!I had just finished taking a shower. I felt so refreshed. I smelled like wood from earlier on so I had to wash every bad smell away.I put on a pink silky gown given to me by Miss Donna. I wondered why Miss Donna did not come to assign some duties to me today.I was expecting her. I also expected Lily as a guest, much later in the night. While trying to oil my hair, I heard a knock on the door.Oh! It's madam Donna.“Coming!!”Rizz had been really quiet today. She had not said a word since after I took her out to run. I rushed to put on my clothes and I opened the door.I was heavily shocked when I saw Charlotte standing in front of it. “Mmmhmmm…the prodigal lover is here…” Rizz had popped out of her hiding place.If I were not helpless in this pack, I would slam the door on her face.“Won't you let me come in?” Her voice was low, just above a whisper.I still stood by the door, wide-eyed, staring at Charlotte. So many mixed feelings coursed throug
Nicholas' PovI stepped on the balcony leading to the entrance of my office, ready to welcome Clara's father.Clara was probably making up in the room. She took time to come out.Besides, she was not my Luna. She could stand by my side to welcome her father. She would wait in the reception or stay behind in her room and wait till I called her out.Three black limousines packed in front of me and a man in suit came out from the driver's seat of the middle one.He opened the door and stood vigilantly by the side of the car. A and a short and stunted man popped out from the owner’s seat.Alpha Carl…The Alpha of Moon Light pack and Clara's father. Today was my first time setting my sights on him.I had heard tales of his ruthlessness amd bravery, but I had never crossed paths with him before.Clara was his carbon copy.They both had rounded eyes, thich eyes brows and small lips. The man in front of me had an unconcerned look on his face. He walked closer to where I was and inspected me
Zoey's povClara!!The devil's younger sister.This girl enjoyed torturing rogues in her father's pack.Clara was a lazy and saucy bitch!She was very rude, even to her own mother. The only person she could ot succeed being arrogant to, was her beloved father.They were like yin and yang. They were inseperable. Clara knew her father like the back of her hand and vise versa. Clara's father would never let her live in the pack of a man she was not married to. Seeing her here kind of puzzled me. The list of Clara's wickedness was too much to mention. If I wanted to list it on a tablet of stone, it would take a thousand years to finish.I saw Clara with a big, rounded baby bump. She was giving orders and yelling as usual at the maids. Was Clara the lady that Nicholas and Charlotte were arguing about?Was she the one that made Charlotte to cry the night she came to me for comfort?It seemed she had something in connection to Nicholas.But…but Charlotte had a boyfriend. She had a mate an
Nicholas' point of view“Alright buddy. I'm coming.” Landon said to me from inside the room.Where is my Luna? Why did they lock the door? And why was everywhere so quiet?I had stood in front of the door for a long time–like ten minutes before knocking the door and I could hear moans and giggles.I thought it was Riley and Landon doing their thing, until I went to check my Luna's room and I could not find her.I checked the whole pack, again, she had disappeared.I remembered that she walked hand in hand with Riley back to her room.I do not trust Riley at all. I don't trust her with one bit in me, especially when it comes to my Luna.I had a feeling that she had been giving me Luna sexual advances. I know Charlotte is not a lesbian, I could swear it!Even if she were, I would not have a problem with it.Wait?! Did I just say that?! Yes! If she were a lesbian, I would have a very big problem with it.I hated lesbians, I hated lesbianism, the kingdoms hated it, the elders hated it, a
