All Chapters of Accidental Bride for the Alpha King: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

NAOMIThe sound of the howling breeze as it gently yet eagerly picked up the yellowing fallen leaves which formed a carpet of vibrant colours on the pavement. The crimson glow of the setting sun seemed to reflect my pain, bathing my world in a dull yet dangerous light. The cold wind assaulted my scantily clad figure as I stood motionless in front of a withering headstone.The state of it can be regarded as abysmal. Undergrowth has thrived around it, even covering the name inscribed on it. The inscription has also withered overtime as a result of weathering and a lack of care. Situated at a spot separated from all the others, it is a testament of attitude of its caregivers towards the corpse buried within.A mundane human.Regarded as lower yet covetous lifeforms by the werewolves, little to no regard or respect is accorded to humans. They are both discriminated against and feared, which is one of the reasons why we decide to blend in with them and live hidden within them.I thought th

FREDAI woke up with a jolt as I felt a pounding headache assault me like a wave. I tried massaging my head and immediately realised that my hands were tied behind my back. It took a few seconds to process my thoughts as I remembered the events that transpired. I was ambushed and attacked by Outlanders and it seems like I've been captured by them. I observed my surroundings and immediately realised that I had been left alone. It would seem that the Outlanders didn't expect me to wake up at this time.I took the opportunity I was given and immediately freed myself from my restraints. They used common rope so it was quite easy to free myself. I hurried out of the enclosure I was kept in, careful not to alert anyone around of my movements. Surprisingly, there was no one around. The woods were eerily quiet. There were not even the sounds of bird and everything else that comprises of the wild on a night like this.This is the forbidden section of the woods. It seems like I have been

ARIA"Aria!" A voice filled with too much enthusiasm than I am willing to deal with this morning called, jolting me awake."Argh!" I groaned. "Just a few more minutes."Are you dumb?" the voice asked. "We have barely ten hours to prepare and you need more time?""Ten hours is a lot of time, Dana," I groaned as I rolled to the opposite edge of the bed, out of the reach of my ever spirited sister."Ten hours is not enough time!" she retorted as she dove on me. "Wake up!" "Come on," I sighed as I finally opened my eyes, unable to ignore her weight on me. "What do you want from me?" I am confronted with a face bearing a striking resemblance to mine in most aspects except that she looked older. We weren't exactly identical but everyone who sees us for the first time would misunderstand. It's caused our parents to often make jokes that she gave birth to me instead of them. A believable fact if we weren't just three years apart. She's been the closest person to me for longer than I can re

MIDASThe week went by with barely any troubles. Work was smooth and a lot of progress was made today. With Melissa's help, we were able to get most of the work done with the cheaper rental equipments which meant we could afford them for longer hours which also meant better efficiency and progress.It was a good week quite honestly. There were the unsavoury rumours about me and Melissa have an affair. Rumours that I don't intend to pay any attention to. I do sympathise with Melissa who must be a lot more affected by these rumours than I was, but she's an adult. One of the trials of adulthood is being able to deal with the assumptions people make and the rumours they spread as a result.No one has been bold enough to ask me to my face and my conscience was clear. I did nothing inappropriate with her.With a sigh, I change the channel on the television to a sports channel where the soccer match was being covered.I stare at the TV with barely any interest in my eyes as my thoughts dri

MIDASStuck in the normal intensity and rigours of the construction site, I can't help but wish for home in this moment. I need rest. It's been a tiring loop of late nights of planning, analysing and budgeting with Melissa, and tiring mornings of coordination and implementation at the site. It's been slowly getting to me and I don't like it.Speaking of Melissa, we've grown closer in the past few weeks since her art exhibition with her class. She frequents the house more to check on Eva's progress in her art as well as give her some pointers to help her improve. I was quite surprised to learn that Melissawas quite the artist herself, and in fact still does art albeit a lot less regularly.She brings some of her art pieces to Eva once in a while, using them to help raise and groom my daughter into a better artist at a comfortable pace despite her young age. She is the first woman in my life that Eva has opened up to. Eva is quite a menace despite her calm and mature attitude. She h
