Felicia sat on Max's legs as she lovingly held his neck. "You know, there's something I've been meaning to ask you," she said.Max looked up to her and smiled. "What is it?" he questioned."Well, it's about Mila," she said."What about her?" "Well, I have this feeling she is hiding something from everyone," she accused."Really?" Max asked, trying to sound interested even though he wasn't. "Yeah. Like there is just something about her that's odd," she reasoned. "What makes you think so?" Max probed further."Well, if you haven't noticed, she seemed to have gained the favor of Alpha Adrian," Felicia hissed "And that's the odd thing?" he asked."No. That's not it. I mean, he hasn't tried to find out who she is," she explained."And that's the odd thing?" he inquired."Well, he said at the dining room once that she's his," she stated.Max sighed. "Don't tell me you're being jealous because of that," He had hoped Felicia was making sense of what she was saying. But her mentioning A
Mila's POV I quickly averted my gaze and closed my eyes. I felt him chuckle before his lips touched my forehead."Good morning," he said.I closed my eyes tightly and didn't respond. What would I say? Sorry for checking you out."You're asleep?" he asked I didn't respond. I felt him leave the bed but stopped midway. Where was he? I felt both his hands run down my thighs and excitement crept in. Before I could brace myself for what was coming, his tongue slid up and down my clitoris. I moaned lightly as he bit it a little."What are you doing?" I managed to speak. "Really? Now you can speak?" he asked, inserting one finger into me.I gasped as he thrust in and out slowly. "Ad... Adr...Adrian," I moaned, while my hand made its way to grab his hair."You like it?" he asked, still fingering me "Yeah," I inched toward him.He laughed lightly got up from the bed and walked toward the bathroom."What are you doing?" I called out, panic rising. "I'm going to freshen up," he said and sco
Max walked briskly toward his room. Felicia was sitting down calmly on the couch. She stood up abruptly when she sighed Max. "Did you find anything?" she asked. Max dropped the file on the table and sighed."We can't do this here. Let's go to my place," he announced."Why? But she's here and it'll be easier since Adrian gave you this room anytime you want to stay in the palace," Felicia pouted. "I know. But I think Mila must have seen her name in one of the files as I dropped it," he explained."You dropped the file?" Felicia's eyes widened in shock."She bumped into me and it dropped on the floor. She wanted to help me pick it up when her eyes must have glanced briefly at it," he said."She might have not seen it. Maybe you're paranoid," she reasoned.Max shook his head in nagation."I don't think so. The way she looked at me confused, I think she might have seen it," he answered. Felicia seemed to think for a while before sighing "I guess we don't have a choice then. We should
Amanda walked into Adrian's office, her face passive yet seductive. Adrian had his eyes closed as he was feeling stressed and he had another meeting in the next thirty minutes. He felt his door open but didn't bother opening his eyes."Your majesty," Amanda whispered Adrian finally opened his eyes. He stared at Amanda with tired eyes. He didn't want anyone disturbing his peace."Hello, Amanda. Do you need something?" he asked, his eyes briefly staring at the tray she held. It was obvious she brought his meal for him."I brought you lunch. You didn't come down for breakfast and lunch. I thought you might be hungry so I quickly made this for you," she explained."You didn't have to do it," he said, sighing."But I already did," she said, placing the tray in front of him.Adrian took one look at the food and smiled softly. "You can take it away. I appreciate your effort, but I don't think I want to eat," he said.Amanda frowned. "I had this made myself,'' she said "Well, that's why I
Amanda's POVAmanda stormed into her room in anger. Why did she have to see Mila here, of all places? She should have just vanished into thin air or gone somewhere far away. How was she supposed to achieve her aim in this pack when Mila was now the muse of Adrian? How would she get close to Adrian and get the information she needs? She needed to act fast so she couldn't be won over by Mila. She needed to get rid of Mila. And to get rid of Mila, she wouldn't go straight up to harm her, she has to make sure she does it slow and steady. She has to think of a way that Mila wouldn't suspect. A way that no one would suspect. Even if it means eliminating her, she wouldn't mind. Amanda sat down on the couch in her room and smirked slightly.*Mila's POVI stared at myself in the mirror while arranging my hair. I had left the office as it was time for Adrian to go to his scheduled meeting. I just finished taking a shower and trying to prepare for bed when I heard a slight knock at the door.
Mila's POV I felt a hot slap land on my cheeks and my eyes widened in surprise. Did this lady just slap me? "What did you just do?" I asked, confused as to what I had done to make her slap me."That's for your foul mouth," she said, anger oozing out of her body. Before I could utter another word, she started pushing me toward the entrance door. I shrugged my body out of her hold and snapped "Leave me alone, I can go out myself," I said in anger. "Better do," she scoffed and folded her hands together.I opened the door and stepped out into the choked hallway. I could feel it was late already and it was going to be midnight in a few hours. Adrian is supposed to be on his way back to the palace by now. I walked into the garden and sat there in silence. The tears that I had been holding since she slapped me began spilling from my eyes. They made their way out, feeling as if they had been trapped in my eyes for a thousand years. I could feel them, hot and wet. I looked around in the
Max's full concentration was on the files placed on his table. It was almost midnight, and Felicia was already sleepy. He shook his head as he stared at her. She had been so enthusiastic about finding out more about Mila. But now, here she was sprawled on the bed, sleeping soundly without a care in the world. He flipped from page to page but found nothing interesting about her other than her background and why she wasn't in her pack anymore. According to the file, her father was killed unjustly, and her mate was taken from her by another woman. Her life seemed to be a pitiful one, but here she was, living so carefree. There wasn't a moment since she came to the palace that she was seen wallowing in sadness. Max smiled at her strength. He couldn't help but admire her. Although she looked weak, she was strong emotionally. He had been studying her file for hours but hadn't seen anything suspicious in it. Maybe there was more to her? Or Felicia was just paranoid as she didn't like Mila
Mila's POV "Why do I have to go with you?" I asked, trying to get an explanation from Adrian. He had woken me up extra early and made me dress up. He wanted me to follow him to the throne room. Why would I do that? If he was having a meeting that early, why did he have to drag me with him?"You are not supposed to ask questions," he ordered."But I can't blindly follow you to the throne room. Isn't it prohibited?" I asked, feeling nauseous at the thought of me being in there with him."I have something to announce and you have to be present," he explained."What do you want to announce and why do I need to be there," I demanded adamantly.He stopped for a moment and stared at me with an amused expression. It looked like he wanted to say something, but instead, he chucked and continued walking. I sucked in a haggard breath as we reached the big door. Adrian turned to give me one last glance. "Once we're inside, make sure to be close to where I can reach for you. There would be an e
Adrian's POV I was getting really angry and rather uncomfortable with Aunt Matilda in my office."What do you see in her?" she asked, her voice laced with disdain.Aunt Matilda had requested to see me in my office after breakfast. She seemed not to be concerned about anything else other than the fact that she needed something from me. Whatever that was, I already knew I was going to say no because her needs were always insufferable."Don't you think you're crossing the line here?" I inquired, my voice cold."Felicia already told me about Reyna's pregnancy," Aunt Matilda began.I raised my brow in disappointment. How did Felicia know Reyna and even about the pregnancy?"Felicia knows Reyna?" I asked"Well, I think she does, seeing how she already knows about the pregnancy," she replied "Well, what about the pregnancy?" I countered."What do you mean by that? Aren't you going to do anything about it?" she enquired."Something like what?" I countered back, my voice cold like ice."You
Mila's POV I walked slowly as I tried to make out the buildings and recall the exact place I was looking for. The passerby didn't seem to pay any attention to me as everyone was busy going through their daily activities. I must not have been paying attention when Felicia and I came here last because I found it hard to locate the route.I stopped by an elderly woman who looked rather strange. "Hello ma'am," I called out slowly but politely She looked up at me without a smile and ignored me.I coughed lightly to gain her attention."I am kinda lost," I continued, hoping she would answer me. Maybe she didn't hear me the first time."What is my problem if you are lose? Many people get lost and missing within this short time and the Alpha ain't doing nothing," she spat.A part of me wanted to leave her alone and continue my journey, but there weren't any other friendly faces. "Can you show me the way to Morticia?" I pleased She looked up at me with disdain."What are you doing looking
Felicia and Amanda waited patiently in the room, waiting for the first break of the door. They held their breaths in anticipation as the doorknob twisted slowly, revealing the satisfactory face of Reyna. She walked in with a sly smile plastered across her face. Felicia stared at Amanda and they both smiled knowingly. "So how did it go?" Felicia was the first to speak Reyna paused for a while as if keeping them both in suspense. "Guess," she said Amanda rolled her eyes. "We weren't there with you, and there's no prediction as to what Adrian might do," Reyna scowled."It's no fun if I tell you that way," she whined Felicia sighed loudly. "Reyna, please," "Fine," Reyna dropped her shoulder in resignation. "I told him, but he neither accepted it nor denied it being his," "So you're saying you failed?" Amanda's questioning voice thundered in the room."Cut her some slacks, will you?" Felicia smiled "It's just a simple task. She would have pestered him till he succumbs to her char
Mila's POV "What do you mean you're pregnant?" Adrian asked, his eyes bulging in shock.I stared at them both as I didn't know what to think at the moment. It felt like a heavy weight was resting on my chest, making me unable to breathe. Adrian glanced from me to her, then to me again. It was obvious he was utterly shocked beyond words. "What do you mean? I mean I'm pregnant," the lady, Reyna, spoke. "How?" he asked again. I almost yelled in annoyance but kept my calm "We had sex," Reyna spoke with a straight face. "Adrian. Is she telling the truth?" I asked, my voice barely audible."Mila, can you please give us a little time?" Adrian requested I stared at him in disbelief. "I should excuse you?" "Mila please don't make things worse. I need to understand what she's saying," he explained.I laughed mockingly. "You mean you don't understand what she's saying?" Adrian gave me one last look and I scoffed. What else is there to say that I haven't heard? It was obvious she was tel
Mila's POV I didn't want to cry. I couldn't let anyone see my weakness. That would give them enough reason to bully me and make my life a living hell in this pack. But as soon as Adrian hugged me and told me to let it out? I found myself collapsing as he held me tight. My body was shaking as tears freely flowed from my eyes."I'm here for you, Mila," Adrian assured, whispering with a gentle voice. I held onto him as if it was the last thing I would do before dying. "You know they are lying right?" I asked, looking up at him with a tear-stained eyes He looked at me for a while and smiled softly. "I am shocked this would make you cry. Of course, I know they are lying. It doesn't even make sense," he mumbled "So you believe me right?" I asked, a ray of hope igniting within me."I'd believe anything you tell me, not anyone else," he confirmed.I felt my heart warm at his statement. I knew he might believe me but I never expected him to fully believe me. "Why didn't you stand up for
Mila and Adrian stood in place as Felicia and Amanda matched to the center of the throne room. They seemed to be shocked as neither of them found their voice to utter a word. Mila couldn't understand why Felicia would want to sabotage her. She knew anything Felicia wanted to say would be something that would put her in trouble at this point"What are you both doing here?" Adrian finally spoke."Well, you invited almost everyone, Your Majesty. And I thought I should come and make this announcement. And thank God Mila is here to witness it. After all, she is the subject of this topic," Felicia declared. "What do you have to say?" Adrian asked, squinting his eyes at both of them. "Well..." Felicia stared and turned to face everyone. "I just found out the strangest thing," she said.She paused for a while and observed the crowd. Their interest seemed to be piqued at this point. "Well, this here is a lady from another pack," she dragged the quiet Amanda in front of her.Mila studied the
Felicia walked up to Amanda's room and knocked. After a few seconds, the door opened, revealing the beautiful redhead."Good morning," Amanda said, staring blankly at Felicia."Good morning to you too," Felicia retorted and made her way inside, even though Amanda didn't want her to come in. "And you are?" Amanda asked, following Felicia, who had made her way to the couch and sat down."My name is Felicia," she replied "Ok..." Amanda replied, staring at her in confusion as she didn't know her and she just barged into her room."Sorry for barging into your room. I didn't want someone to see me. I can't risk it, not with what I have planned," she explained."Which is?" Amanda replied slowly. She seemed to sense Felicia was someone who was going to be useful to her mission in this pack. "Well, let me start from the beginning. You are from wildfire pack right?" she asked.Amanda frowned. She hasn't told anyone she was from the wildfire pack. She had made sure to keep it a secret. Only A
