Veil Of Destiny 19: The experiment
Maria's POV "Come in" his gruff voice came from inside. I knew that it had not been long since he had woken up and if for anything, he was currently trying to paint the perfect sunrise of my naked body.I eased the door open, wondering if Sophie was sticking to our plan. My stomach growled, not from hunger for the first time, but from my nerves messing with my insides. I walked in slowly, looking around to make sure that I was getting any surprises. Alpha Felix was seated by his window, his brows furrowed in a knot as it seemed like he was having an artist's block. I wondered if today had not been the wrong day and struggled to focus on my plan. "Good morning Alpha" I greeted him but he merely grunted in response. I immediately set to work, cleaning his room as hard as I could. Since my mind was everywhere, the only way I could ease the burden on my shoulder was to bury my head in my work. "Argh" I yelled when suddenly I was grabbed from behind and thrown on the end. Even though I

Maria's POV I wiped my lips furiously as I made my way out of the room. Sophie was smiling satisfactorily. I hated the fact that we were now being forced to be friends after everything that she had done to me. I didn't want to talk to her after everything we had done even though I knew she was itching to talk to me. "You know, I never thought you would be this useful to me at any point. It's a good thing that I never wrote you off" She smirked and I wondered if she didn't feel any type of way after what I had just witnessed. "I'll let you know when next I'm meeting with him. But you know, this has to stay between us" I warned her and she nodded her head. "Yes, I'm aware. Now I have to go to my duty post before the head maid notices my disappearance" she said and hurried away. Something immediately told me that she could not be trusted. I knew that already but still, I was preparing my mind for the worst betrayal. I just didn't know how. There was a slow rumble in my stomach and I

Maria's POV My blood froze just as my face did. I had not expected to be betrayed like this. I wondered if Maya knew about what was going on. Alpha Felix had known all along but kept quiet about it. Why had he gone ahead with the plan if he knew it wasn't me he was sleeping with? I couldn't believe it. A plan I had worked so hard to think through had failed even before it started. It hurt and my ego was bruised too. "You didn't think a flimsy blindfold would convince me to touch another woman that wasn't you?" He asked and a mischievous smile spread on his face. "I...I... I didn't know. Why would Dexter...""Oh please? You think because he treats Maya the way he does that he is a good person? Have you ever wondered what he would do if he wasn't the head of the clinic?" He asked me and I stood there not knowing what next to do."Dexter loves her," I said, refusing to believe the words that were coming out of his mouth. "Suit yourself. To be honest, I couldn't care less about that

Maria's POV "Can you even hear what I am saying at all?" Maya's voice cut into my thoughts and I nearly jumped. My fate here has turned for the good but finding out that Maya was merely a pawn for Alpha Felix hurt my heart. I didn't know if I should believe what Dexter was saying or warn Maya to be careful. I decided to get the exact picture of what she was going through from her. "How's your relationship with Dexter?" I asked her and she paused for a brief moment before speaking. "It's good. You know how much he loves me. Why are you asking this?" She asked me and it was my turn to hesitate before speaking. "I just want to be sure that everything was really fine. Remember that you have helped me come out of a dark place, if there is anything happening to you that you feel like I should know, I promise that I won't judge you or make you feel...""Slow down," Maya said, cutting me short with a wave of her hands, "have you been listening to the rumors?" She asked me and since I had
Last Updated : 2025-02-04Veil Of Destiny 23: A penchant for Evil
Sophie's POVI made my way to the servant's quarters, my chest bubbling in anger. They had no right to treat me like I was not important in the grand scheme of things. I huffed and puffed all the way to my chambers, ignoring everyone every step of the way. Slamming the door to my room, I threw my clothes on the bed and let out a howling scream. My plans were not going so well and the mere thought of it was frustrating me. I couldn't believe that Alpha Felix had given the judgment that he did. Just then the door eased open and my secret lover walked in. We have been together since I came to the palace and he was the only thing that had been keeping sane in my quest to ascend to the hierarchy. "What do you want Dexter?" I sneered at him as he made his way towards me and gathered my waist in his arms. "I came straight from the clinic. I didn't want you to be alone tonight. Will you go with me back to my place?" He asked me as he rained kisses on my ears and my neck. I mumbled a few w
Last Updated : 2025-02-05Veil Of Destiny 24: A Different Plane
Alpha Leo's POV I was finding it hard to believe that I was actually worried about the breeder girl. The weeks were rolling by and I was not any closer to finding her than when I started. She also had the ability to hide herself well and the only thing I could think about was her guts to run away from my pack. "A penny for your thoughts?" Sophia said from behind me and I smiled at her, pulling her close to me. She was my soulmate and the woman that I truly loved but in recent times, I have been thinking too much about Maria. "It's nothing. Just a little thought about the sock and all that is going on. I'm just thinking of ways to make life better for everyone" I responded and moved to the other side of the room, suddenly feeling crowded up with Sophia's presence. "Don't spend any time on that. We need to conduct our marriage. You have been putting it off for several months now. What could be holding you back?" She asked me and I could see the maddening glint in her eyes. It was on

Sophia's POV He was distracted. I knew it. I just didn't know why she had that effect on him. When I saw her, from the first day, I knew that she would give me problems. He had been awestruck at first and I couldn't help but wonder if she was his true mate. "Are you ready to leave now?" He asked me when I entered his office. I shook my head and sat down, he looked at me with a scrunched eyebrow before he said anything else, "You don't want to go anymore?" He asked me, a look of anticipation. "I haven't changed my mind but I want to speak to you before I leave," I said and he dropped his pen and the document that he had been working on before I came into his office. "What do you want to talk to me about?" He asked with keen interest and rapt attention. "I think there is something going on between you and the breeder girl that you haven't told me about. I noticed that ever since she left, you have been withdrawn and moody, getting sad each time your men come back with a report that
Last Updated : 2025-02-07Veil Of Destiny 26: A Twisted Reality
Maria's POV "It's still not working?" Maya said and tried to pull out the shoe from under the chair. She had seemed a bit off all evening and I couldn't imagine why. I felt guilty that I was not telling her what I knew even though she had been nothing but nice to me since we met. "Yes. Just leave the shoe here. I'll get you another one" I said to her and sat down. Somehow, I had gotten her shoe caught between chairs and it was even ruined already. She definitely needed the new ones. "I think Dexter isn't being honest with me." She whispered, her voice quiet and broken as she tried to blink back the tears that had gathered in her eyes. "Why? Did he do something?" I asked her, not wanting to seem like I knew something. She was smart to have picked out that something was wrong with him because something was. "Yes. He has refused to keep to the first promise he made me. I should have been out of here by now, our own little paradise should have started but every time I remind him abou

Veil Of Destiny 37: Fate and Coincidence
Alpha Leo's POV Things between Sophia and I have been shaky for the past few days. The dream had refused to leave my mind and it was the only thing I thought about all day. She had noticed it and tried to reach out to me a few times but the only thing I could do was to shut her out. I decided to go and see one of my father's oldest friends, Lady Willow. She was a good witch and a good woman. We were lucky to have her around as kids as she was a bright light in our dark lives. "Where are you going to?" Sophia barked at me. "I'm going out. I have to see someone" I said as calmly as I could. I was beginning to get too bothered about the disappearance of Maria. I could have sworn that I did not feel this way before. "Where are you going to?" She asked me, studying me carefully. "I just said I'm going out, I have someone I need to see" I snapped at her, angry that she was asking me so many questions. "You said that already and I asked again. Who are you going to see?" She asked and I
Veil Of Destiny 36: A Confrontation
Maria's POV It wasn't hard to find my way to the clinic the next day. I had a lot I wanted to talk about with Elvira. The nightmare I had was heavy on my mind but I needed to ask her if she could help me return the Alpha's staff of authority. It didn't take long for me to get to the clinic, but I hesitated before knocking on Elvira's door. "Come in" her cool voice invited me in. Without any more hesitation, I turned the lock and eased the door open. Her office had a strong smell of antiseptic, one that made me gag. "Oh, Maria. I was not expecting you so soon. Is everything okay with you and the baby?" She asked, pointing to the seat in front of her. "I am fine. I've just been having the backache I kept complaining to you about, it seems to be getting worse" I said to her, hoping that she didn't see through me. "Alright. I'll give you a painkiller to help with the pain but it all boils down to you resting and sleeping a lot. You are entering your third trimester, it's the last hur
Veil Of Destiny 35: Uncontrollable Feelings
Alpha Leo's POV My chest was clogged tight when I woke up. I had a dream, a bad one. It was not pleasant at all and even after I had woken up, the fear still carried with me. In that dream, I had seen a silver wolf driving a sword right through my chest. It had felt so real that there was a dull pain right at the spot that the sword had gone right through. "What are you doing awake?" Sophia's voice came to me from the dark, apparently my jerking awake had also woken her up too. "Did I wake you?" I asked, not knowing what else to say since I couldn't tell her the dream I had. "Yes, you did. But that was not the question I asked" she said and I shook my head to rid myself of the thoughts of the dream. It didn't work. "I had a dream. It woke me up. Sorry, that woke you up" I answered and turned my back to her to sleep. "What dream did you have?" She asked and turned on the bedside lamps. I squinted my eyes to adjust to the sudden influx of light in the room. She had sat up and was
Veil Of Destiny 34: A new world
Maria's POV "She must be sent away, I don't care what happens. You have to send her away. I can't believe you would stall in doing this?" I heard Elizabeth's sharp voice. I had followed Alpha Elijah back to the palace because he had forgotten his scepter. It was embarrassing that I had run into them like this, especially since I knew that Elizabeth was talking about him throwing me out of the palace. It was all too much. I wanted to just catch a break and it seemed as if I kept moving from a bad place to worse. It was already enough that I was pregnant for a man who wouldn't even look at me, I had fallen prey to a deranged pervert Alpha who only wanted to do whatever he could to sleep with me. Now, finally, in a place where I should get breathing space, I was still plagued by a woman that I had done absolutely nothing but exist to. "You can't ask me for such a thing. She is under my protection as a pack member now. You should know me better than that" I heard Alpha Elijah's reassu
Veil Of Destiny 33: An Empty Desire
Alpha Felix's POV "What are you doing here?" I barked at Maya as she made her way into my chambers. I had specifically asked the guards not to let anyone in as I wanted to be alone. I had not expected the disappearance of Maria to affect me the way it did. I felt mostly regret, wishing that I had taken what I wanted when it was still within my reach. Now, she was gone and she probably hated me too. "I came to help you." She said and I noticed that her protruding belly was now flat and had lost some of its firmness. "What happened to your pregnancy?" I asked and she smiled sinisterly. "I got rid of it. Figured it was standing in my way, Moreover, I would not want to have the baby of a cheater and a user like Dexter" she said, her tone hard and icy with no sign of remorse. "You got rid of your child?" I asked, refusing to believe this cold-hearted person in front of me. "Don't act so shocked about it. The head maid has done the same for you several times. You must have been too in
Veil Of Destiny 32: A new home
Maria's POV Alpha Elijah had given me my own place and gotten me a job in the clinic. I loved what I did now and hoped that I could start my life afresh here. Elizabeth didn't like me and so far, she made it very clear to me that she didn't like me. I tried to stay away from her as much as possible and even deliberately avoided Alpha Elijah."How are you enjoying the clinic?" Elvira asked me as I made my way to the canteen to have lunch. "It's going on well. I'm really grateful you took me in to work here. I don't think I would have survived anywhere else" I said thankfully and she laughed. "Look, your pregnancy is already 6 months. You need to relax more and work less now. I know you only just started work here and you are supposed to be on probation for the first three months but I am going to ease the burden of work for you. You will still be getting your full pay too" Elvira said and I felt my eyes water with tears. I remembered Maya and how she had been nice to me too before
Veil Of Destiny 31: A Makeup for the Breakup
Alpha Leo's POVThe drive to where I had first met her refused to leave my mind. I couldn't stop thinking about her innocent face and how she had refused to go with me. It wasn't until we got to my pack that I had to grudgingly look forward to being inside her. Going back to those moments now, I wish that I had offered more than the pain she had come to associate with me. "Sir, we are here," my driver said and I looked at my environment to see that we were packed outside Maria's previous house. Her mother had been too eager to sell her off, offering her naive daughter as a breeder for a few thousand of money. It disgusted me now and I kept wondering how I had not thought about this before. I got out of the sleek car, catching a reflection of myself in the window. I looked worn out, and even though I had not been stressing myself and made conscious efforts to rest, the weight loss and stress continued to take their toll on me. Maria's mother was in her living room with two men on e
Veil Of Destiny 30: Finding A New Path
Maria's POV It has been three days since I regained consciousness. So far, everyone has been very kind to me and the Alpha has not shown any signs of being a creep yet. Everything was going smoothly so far, in fact, I was healing so nicely that I could take a stroll by the end of the third day. "How are you doing today?" The alpha asked me and I beamed at him. He has been coming to check on me every day for the past three days. I had even begun to look forward to his visits. "I am doing very well Alpha. Welcome" I said and made to stand up, but he quickly waved his hands at me, motioning for me to not bother doing that. "Thank you. Elvira said you are healing nicely. I take it that you feel the same way?" he asked me, his eyes filled with genuine concern. "Yes, everything is healing nicely. I can barely feel the pain in my head. It comes and goes now" I explained to him, excited to share the details of my day with him. There was how he made me feel, he made me feel safe. It was
Veil Of Destiny 29: Hitting A Rock
Alpha Felix's POV I grabbed her legs, I didn't even wait to think about it before I delved for her. She had some explaining to do and there was no way I would let her get the easy way out. "You are not dying today" I muttered as I removed the rope from her neck and carried her down. She was coughing violently and I could see how red and bulky her eyes were. "Just let me die" she cried but I took her to the chair and carefully strapped her in. She had a lot to tell me and it would be better for her if she just started talking already. Her eyes were filled with shock when I secured her tightly to the chair with the same rope that she had been trying to use to kill herself. "What are you doing?" She asked me, her eyes were clear and devoid of the pitiful demeanor that she had been wearing since Maria escaped from my hands. "I am sure that you are not blind, so you can see what I am doing is tying you to a chair" I responded, my tone cold and calm, almost like I wasn't planning to to
