Chapter 11 Adrianna's POVI didn't pay much attention to what Amelia said. She was just angry because I stood up against her, something I had never done because I feared my father.I made sure to avoid Shawn because I wasn't ready to talk to him. The fact that Amelia insulted him and he just stood there, watching her and not saying a word. I heard the clicking of glass from the top of the stairs. Behold, Fredrick stood there. I guess he wanted to make a speech since he was the host of the party."Good evening, everyone"he cleared his throat. " I thank you all for attending this evening. Many of you may know the reason for this gathering while some of you don't."I looked for Amelia, I spotted her smiling widely at the corner of the ball room. She was staring directly at Fredrick. "The whole party was to inform you all that I have found my mate, Amelia." He said, pointing at Amelia.Everyone turned to stare at her. She too a bow with pride. I could see it in her face, she was more t

Chapter 12Adrianna's POV"I said give it NOW!!" Amelia shouted.Well played Amelia, I didn't expect this from her. I expected her to get revenge, of course. But not in front of outsiders .I knew coming to this party was a bad idea from the start but mom being mom. "Amelia, I don't have your earnings. I told you.""What is going on here?" I heard my father shout, while coming into the room with my mother.Amelia ran to him, tears streaming down from her eyes. She was good at this. Faking this, I couldn't believe her."Dad, Adrianna stole the earrings you got for me." She lied bluntly to him.Knowing it was something he bought for her, will only make him more angry. That's how much I knew my father."I told you, I don't have it. Would you stop blaming me for your carelessness." I voiced out and the stares worsened.But I didn't care, I wouldn't just stand there and watch her blame me for something I didn't do. The worst of all was that she was doing this over some petty issue we had.

Chapter 13Adrianna's POVSearch me? What did she mean by search me in front of all this people? I thought she just wanted to embarrass me. Why did she want to search me like she was sure I took the earrings. She was acting all suspicious and paranoid.Amelia did something. For her to behave like this out of the blue over some earring. She did something. I just knew it. This wasn't some coincidence. How come it was when I went to the restroom and back that her earrings went missing.I tried to recall all the incidents that happened that night. Maybe some clues could help. From my talk with Shawn, my argument with Amelia and when I went to the restroom.Wait, rewind. I went to the restroom when that maid spilled drinks on me. Could that be it. Did Amelia send someone to disgrace me or did Amelia do it herself? Did she send the maid who bumped into me to put the earrings on me. There was no way of knowing. I wasn't about to check myself in front of the people here."Didn't you hear he

Chapter 14Adrianna's POVIt wasn't there? I was sure she had something to do with this, or was I mistaken."This is impossible. You took it, I know it." Amelia claimed she was clearly losing her mind."You already searched her even when we told you not to. What else do you want?" Steven asked angrily.I was just really happy that the earrings weren't found on me. I must have done something good in my past life for me to be saved like that.At Least she had nothing else to say to me. She didn't find it on me, that should be the end of the drama."No!! My earrings won't just go missing like that. I saw her put it in her bag. You have to believe me." I heard her say.I went closer to her and slapped her. People in the party gasped. I have had enough of her already. Her not finding it on me should be enough. She needed to be taught a lesson."You said I was a thief, then you searched my purse and you found nothing, after accusing me severally. The best you would have done was to shut up

Chapter 15Adrianna's POV.He thought he was actually helping me or he was doing me a favor. If he was really trying to do the right thing, he would have said something at the party, but instead he decided to watch our family drama. He would have found it quite amusing.As I told Steven, I took a cab. But it was extremely difficult walking around with a gown and heels. I should have just agreed when Steven asked.I finally got home. I Walked in through the door of the living room and it was filled with the cries of my kids, coming from the room.I rushed in and met them on the bed crying. "Mom!"They called out, and ran to me when they saw me. Then they hugged me tightly, dragging my gown while crying.I frowned. "I thought you said they were sleeping,"I asked."They were. But a few minutes after we talked, Hayley woke up asking for you. When I couldn't provide for you, she started crying. Then Jackson woke up and did the same.""Since when have they been crying?"I asked."For almost a

Chapter 16Fredrick's POVSuch an ungrateful girl. I saved her and she couldn't even thank me. I rejected her yes but it wasn't that personal.I remember seeing her five years ago but I thought it would be best to act like I didn't know her. We didn't know ourselves either, all we knew was that we were meant to be mates, but it didn't work out.I went back into the party and found Amelia's parents still in the party. They seemed tense like they were having an important conversation. I was in no mood to distract them, I just wanted to find Amelia. Everyone in their family was at the party, even the supposed boyfriend. He was seated, lost in thoughts. Steven and Amelia weren't there. I wondered where they were. I looked around for Amelia. If Amelia and Steven weren't there, it meant they were together. I knew Steven didn't go with Adrianna because I was there when Amelia refused him to accompany her.I wanted to talk to Amelia. What she did was a stupid thing to do to her sister. Siste

Chapter 17Fredrick's POVToday was another busy day. I had to visit the pack at the bayou to deal with something. When the werewolves had one problem or another, they informed me, their Alpha.Today I was informed about something else, but nothing so serious. We had to discuss a few topics, including my marriage with Amelia.They were beginning to complain about how it was going slowly and how it was my responsibility to get married since the pack needed a Luna.The bayou wasn't far from my house. It was five minutes away so I decided it would be best to walk there. It would serve the purpose of the exercise.I left my home early so I could get there early. Before I got to Bayou anytime, I had to pass through a garden to get there. It was kind of a way to view beautiful things before you go into the bayou.The bayou was fine, but it was full of trees and shrubs. There were flowers but they were very few. I had to pass there to get to the bayou. The bayou wasn't a place where the Wol

Chapter 18Adrianna's POV"Who does he think he is?"I murmured to myself.He just spoiled the mood I had today. Rights? Oh please, he lost the right when he rejected me. He didn't have any right to even begin with.I was on my way home, my thoughts crowding with thoughts of the annoying conversation I had with Fredrick. At times, I wondered how I found him attractive in the first place."Because he was hot." My wolf voiced out."Whatever. I don't see that anymore. He just seems annoying to me ever since I returned."When I got home, I didn't see anyone in the living room. I wanted to look for Steven but I remembered he was doing something important with Shawn.So I made my way to my mom's room. When I entered her room, she was busy stacking up her clothes. She always likes doing those by herself. I guess it gave her peace of mind."Mom," I called out."Adrianna," she called. "How was your walk with Shawn through the garden?" She asked."It was okay," I answered."It doesn't seem so.

He lifted his head when he heard my steps. "Took you long enough." He said while opening the door for me."Sorry. I had to convince the kids that I wasn't going far and was going to return early." I said getting in."If you get this job, you know you're going to have to leave them every day right? They need to start learning how to stay without you for some time." He advised."I know. I will work on that." I answered.I already knew the attitude they developed was unhealthy
