Millicent's POV I went about my duties as though nothing out of place had happened. My wolf was wounded by Sylvester's rejection. I know that wolf Milly had looked forward to being with the Alpha but thank goodness, it had not worked out that way but I still feel for my wolf and this was another case against Sylvester. He had hurt my wolf by breaking the wolf bond between us.I was asked to serve at the party. I had wanted to come to the party with any cloth I could lay my hands on. I was not particular about clothes in any case, but, Samantha would hear none of it.'I am supposed to work the party', I insisted.'So?' she asked her friend.'So, there's no need over dressing for the occasion ', I said reasonably. 'I will end up getting stained in any case and the cloth will be ruined. I am a maid, let me dress like a maid!' I insisted.'Okay. Then be a well dressed maid at this particular party. Aren't you supposed to be the personal maid to the Alpha? Then make the guest realise that
Third Person POVBefore going to dress up for the party, Millicent had made sure that the hall was set in a manner befitting a great Alpha. She had not done it to please him but just as a duty. She hadn't done it alone though. Decorators had been invited but she had been present to assist and her ideas had really helped to make the outcome more breathtaking.Now that the party was in full swing, she found that she was growing impatient. She wanted to be gone from this place and see what she could make of her life to enable her fulfill her life's purpose.Millicent moved about, serving drinks and food. There were alot of invited guests. Most of whom were Alphas from other packs. Some came with their Lunas, while others came alone with the intension to mate with any of the women in the pack that they took a fancy to before returning home to their Lunas.Alpha Sylvester was happy at how everything was going. He had become engaged to Cathania, his first love and the daughter of his father
Alpha Sylvester tried to control himself and his wolf who was getting really anxious watching Beta Dan dance with Millicent and taunted Sylvester.'Look how happy she looks. She is really enjoying his company. I could have made her happier if you had not rejected her!' his wolf said.'Everyone present here, including my father have all seen the engaged man ogling his own maid when his fiancee was seated right next to him!' Cathania sulked.'Shut up! Sylvester bellowed both to his wolf and Cathania, but the sound of the music prevented anyone from hearing him apart from those he had been speaking to, though he couldn't have cared less. It was his pack and he could do as he pleased in it. He owed no one any apologies nor explanations, especially not his future in - laws. He didn't need them, he was already very strong to take on any adversary. All the neighbouring packs feared him, His in - laws were the people who needed his influence.He looked at the scene for a while and fortunately
Millicent's POV'What if I claim you now before you go on exile, what would you do?' Alpha Sylvester's words rang in my ears like loud sounding gongs. My eyes widened in fear. I do not want that - I do not want that at all. Dear moon goddess, do not allow him do this, I prayed silently, my mind in disarray, my thoughts jumbled with dread.Alpha Sylvester pushed himself closer to me and plastered me more firmly to the wall. I could feel his arousal pressing against my v- region.'Since you are on heat, and you are mine anyways, I could oblige you, as a send off souvenir from me to you', he said. 'And a birthday gift, all in one. It is your birthday afterall. What better gift to give you but a pleasurable one?'My heart started thumping, not from desire but from increased fear. I was hyperventilating. I was screaming, 'No!' in my head. I felt nauseated and wanted to push him away but I knew that my push would do nothing against his superior strength and it might just antagonize him fur
Sylvester's POV 'You have always been so full of yourself', I said to her, looking at her with mischief. 'What if I were to claim you, what would you do then?'I saw her eyes widened in fear. But she immediately looked down shuttering her eyes from me so I could not read her reaction. By the time she looked at me again, the fear was gone and her head was held high. Proud vixen! I thought. I shall shatter your pride now!I drew her close, plastered her to the wall and was going to claim her lips so I could start my ministrations, knowing that no matter how she struggled, I could easily overpower her. She did not struggle, which surprised me or did she want it as much as I did? I thought in amusement.But her next words disabused me of such thoughts.'If you claim me, you might have to make me your Luna', she said, calmly like she knew what she was saying and couldn't care less.I have learnt how to control my wolf but it seemed to be defiling me and overreacting. The lust I felt was ov
Millicent's POV I walked out of Alpha Sylvester's room in anger and humiliation. I was angry with myself for the things I had felt when Sylvester was mating Cathania and humiliated that I had been made not only to watch, but to clean up the mess they made. I have never felt more like a maid than I felt right now. But that is what you are, - a maid, at least till your fortune changes, I thought to myself. I walked to the Omega's quarters and pulled off the beautiful dress Samantha had lent me for the party and folding it, kept it back on Samantha's box, then pulled an old dress of mine over my head, which I felt was good enough for travelling and carrying my little bag, walked away. I ran, trying to put as much distance as I possibly can between me and Alpha Sylvester and of course the Moon Ville pack. The experiences I had there were not ones I wanted to think about right now, though, I knew it would remain with me. It was not really a bad thing that it would because though it woul
Third person POV 'Mum, this is Millicent O'Brien. Our new help', Raphael introduced. Millicent curtsied.'Good day, ma'am', she greeted respectfully.'Good day, my daughter. How are you?' The woman asked.'Wonderful!' she responded. 'Raphael told me, you just had a set of twins and in need of help?' she asked.'Well...', she started but Raphael interrupted.'Mum, we spoke about this. It will help you get more rest and regain her energy. You do too much as it is!''That's true.I need help and I am grateful, you decided to help out, not minding the pay. In addition to the amount I shall pay you', she mentioned an amount that was not too much but was more than Millicent had been envisaging. 'You shall have your meal with us and we shall also provide you with shelter. And please', she added, 'Call me, Mildred'.The money was more than enough then, since she was being spared the basics, feeding and accommodation, she had cause to grateful. It had not turned out 'May I see the twins?' she
Millicent had just come back from training with Raph and was busy with the baby, while Hugh, kept asking her questions about her pack when Mildred who had been cooking came out.'You have really made a great impression on my nephew', she said. This was coming about three months after Millicent came to live with them. They had established a routine where Raph trained her in the evenings when he got back from work or in the morning after their run and there was still time before he went off to work. He was in the employ of Alpha Blake. He worked as one of the security officers. Little wonder then that he had been the first to sight her when she came into their territory.'Your nephew?', Millicent mouthed, eyes agog. 'But I thought that he was...''My son?' Mildred finished for her. 'Yes, I see him as my son but he is actually the son of my late sister. I took him on when he was very young and has grown to see me as the mother he lost'.Millicent nodded, she could identify with that.'So
'Dear Iris,I do not know what my life would be when you get this letter. I may have died or become a rogue, a wanderer. But whatever I become, I know you will not make it your business because I do not deserve it. But once more find it in your heart to forgive me and my family. I wish you all the best.NB: I have accepted your rejection, you must have felt it the instant that I did. And attached here is the divorce papers I have duly signed.Once more, I wish you the best!'Adrian B.Iris got this a week after her lengthy discussion with Adrian. She shed a few years. It was sad really. They had started well, at least so she had thought when they met. She had been so sure theirs was going to be like the love her parents shared that had stood the test of time and survived against all odds, but it was not meant to be.'Iris, what is the problem?' Millicent asked, when she saw tears in her daughter's eyes.. She just came to check on her daughter after having a steamy mating session with
'Iris, could not find it in your heart to forgive me?' Adrian asked. 'I thought you loved me?' This was coming three months later and when Iris had recovered enough and agreed to see him.'Loved' being the operational word here, darling. Right now, I do not even hate you!' Iris said, smiling at him. ' Hating you takes alot of energy I do not have to expend. The eighteenth months I spent being your wife was not all a waste. It thought me about self preservation and how fickle minded some beings can be!''I hoped you would forgive me for the pain you had to go through as my wife. I can't blame it all my mother but if I had had the right guidance, maybe I would have treated you better'.'Andrew is younger than you are and of the same parents', Iris said laughing amusedly. 'If anyone should act irrationally, he would have been my best bet but your irrational behaviour is unrivalled. I begged you to allow me go and stay with my parents till the pups were born but what did you do? Most prob
'Yes, please have Selina Blake ushered into this place at once!' Alpha King Sylvester said.'Mum, I know that I lost the baby from the heavy shove Roxy gave me, telling me it didn't matter if I lost my baby since she was going to give another to Adrian and make him a better wife than I', Iris said very weakly. 'But Wendy gave me a kind of brew that made me feel fat worse. It may have contributed to aborting the pregnancy as well because I felt an unbearable pain after taking it. As he also did not call for the doctor when I asked her to!''Wendy will be taken care of, don't worry. She signed her own death warrant when she messed with you my beloved daughter!''You got here so fast, I did not know if the mind link I sent mother went through before I passed out!' Iris said.'It did and we rushed to this place as soon as we possibly could!' Millicent said kissing her frail hands. 'Now you must go to bed, the rest will be said outside so as not to disturb your rest. I can see you are drow
Millicent fastened a metallic chain on Wendy. 'I came prepared to take you down should you be responsible for my daughter's predicament. This metal chain will drain you of all your powers and make it impossible for you to do the disappearing acts for which you are known!''Ha, ha, ha, ha!' Wendy laughed. 'I told you when we met that the war between us was not over yet. I am glad that I took your daughter's happiness from her. She was guarding that pregnancy jealously. I killed three birds with just one stone!' she mocked. 'I had thought it was just one baby but it was actually three. Ha,ha,ha,ha. This is poetic justice!''You shall be so severely punished that you will beg for death but it shall be slow in coming. I shall make sure to kill you ever so slowly, you won't forget it in the afterlife!' Alpha Sylvester swore.'One more thing', the doctor strained his voice to be heard above all the noise. 'May I see the Iris' parents and husband in private, please?'Three of them followed h
The screams had not gone unheard. Adrian had been having a meeting with his guards when he heard it. He rushed towards the sound to find both Iris and Roxy on the floor, unconscious and Wendy crying. There was blood everywhere!'Doctor, Adrian screamed. 'Come here quick!There was a flurry of activities as the ladies were laid down on the bed and the doctor started treatment immediately.'Do all you can to save my baby!' Adrian commanded. Tears were in his eyes. There was just so much blood and Iris was looking as pale as death. He could not afford to lose his baby and he realised with a pang that he did not want to lose Iris as well.Andrew rushed in. 'What's going on?' he asked when he saw the two females on the bed unconscious.When no one answered, he went to Adrian and shook his shoulders. Adrian was still in a state of shock. 'What happened, Adrian?'He was still shaking him when Alpha Sylvester and Millicent rushed into the room.'What happened here?' Alpha King, Sylvester bell
Adrian could not understand what the problem was with him but it was as though he was at war with himself. He realised that a part of him wanted to continue punishing Iris while the other part wanted to treat her with the love overflowing in his heart.But he kept maltreating her.Iris was surprised at the reverse in Adrian. I thought he had changed, he seems to have grown worse these days, she thought.'Adrian, you did promise me, you would think about my request to go home to my parents till the pup is born!' she asked him one day, after he eased out of her. The encounter had been very rough and inconsiderate of her feelings. She had been scared for her baby all through the time he kept thrusting savagely into her, as though in renewed punishment for something she had done,not unlike previously. She could take it before but not now that she had something to lose.'Are you going to force me to give you an answer now?' he asked furiously. 'In short, I have changed my mind. You are no
Iris dared not hope that the change in Adrian was as a result of a change in his feelings for her. If he would say the three magic words, she knew she would forget all that he had done to her in the past. But though she sensed a slight change in him, he did not act towards her like he lived her. He paid more attention to her stomach and she knew he was just interested in the pup and not in her!‘I better enjoy this reprieve while it lasts be ause after the birth of the pups, he might retrogress back to where they started. Not for the first time, she wondered what kind of future she would give her baby with a broken home and the hatred her inlaws except for Andrew of course had for her. Would such hatred be transfered.Two days later, she was resting on the bed, when Wendy, Roxy's mother came in to see her.‘Iris, how are you enjoying your marriage?’ she asked mockingly.‘The goddess be praised!’ she replied smiling. She knew why Wendy had asked the question and she was not going to gi
'Mum, is this really you?' Roxy screeched with joy. 'You were gone for so long!''A lot happened to keep me away', Wendy replied, slumping in a couch. 'I was determined to get here no matter how late it may seem and that's why I am here!''I was beginning to wonder what was keeping you, dear friend', Selina intoned when she came into the room to join them. I tried to stop them marrying, I kept postponing it till I could postpone it no longer. But I believe you have a plausible explanation. Tell us your story and how we can remedy this situation!'Wendy smiled. 'I knew that by now, Adrian would be married to Iris. I had hoped you might have come up with a way to stop them but you did well by stalling them'. Her face became serious. 'I had set out into the fields to get that rate plant for the potion I told you about but I was caught unawares by some rogue wolves!''Rogue wolves?' Roxy and Selina exclaimed, simultaneously.'Yes!' She confirmed, nodding. 'I just got to the field where I
Adrian went into their room after speaking with his mother and found Iris sleeping.He stood looking at her for a long time, thinking that she was indeed a lovely girl. His gaze shifted to her stomach and his heart twisted and he vowed he wasn't going to allow any harm befall his pup no matter the situation between him and Iris.He walked away from the door and went towards the bed Iris was lying in as though in a trance. He knew Iris was out and wouldn't wake easily due to the drugs she had been given.'I have given your Luna her medications.', the doctor said. 'She should not be disturbed. The drug will put her to a deep sleep, though a mild sedative because of her condition, it will still make her sleep deeply because of her injuries and the stress she's been through!'He touched her stomach, 'I'll let no harm befall you, my darling pup', he said as he kissed the stomach. He felt close to his pup and strangely drawn to Iris the more. He saw a lock that had escaped down her cheek a
