Loretta’s POVThe warmness of the kitchen made my skin tingle as a relieved smile spread across my lips. For a few days now the weather had been chilly so I was always elated when it was time to go to the kitchen to work as that was my place of assignment. The scent of roasted meat and the sound of boiling soup rented the air. The sweet aroma made me crave for a plate but it wasn't yet time for breakfast. Shuttling between the kitchen and the dining room with trays, I was preparing the table for the royal family to have dinner. Working at the Kitchen wasn't bad. The issue was when it was time to serve the royal family. As usual, Alpha Lorenzo would sit at the head of the table and until I disappear into the kitchen, his hot gaze won't leave me. “Here, take this to lady Natalie." The head chef said, passing a tray to me which I received from her. Reluctantly, I made my way towards the dining room. I had barely stepped in, yet I could feel his eyes on me which made me uncomforta

Lorenzo's POV Sitting at the head of the courtroom, I kept my sharp gaze fixed on the elders gathered before me.They were all making deliberations on the pressing issues at hand which include treaties, border disputes, and trade agreements. All this discussion needed my attention but I couldn't fully partake in the discussion as my mind was elsewhere. To avoid this meeting, I had asked Leo to inform the guards that I needed bed rest as specified by the physician but they didn't buy it. To them, the discussion was important and can't be postponed but to me, it was the least of my concern. My mind was solely on one person and that was Loretta.At the dining room, I was waiting patiently for her to come to the dining room as usual to serve us but she didn't, it was another maid. Other times, she had refused to meet my eyes, her grief and anger burning even in her silence and it made my heart constrict against my chest.A few months ago, it wasn't like this. I was the cold hearted

Loretta’s POV A sharp gasp erupted from my lips as my eyes fluttered open. With my heart clenched against my chest, coupled with my ragged breathing, I tried to fathom where I was.The fluorescent bulb glowed softly as I darted my eyes around when suddenly, a familiar scent whiffed across my nostrils causing me to jolt in fright. What am I doing in his chambers? — I pondered as his intoxicating scent messed with my scenes. “I should be at the maid quarters…” I filtered off as the memory of what happened came crashing back. The scene at the garden replayed in my head. Natalie’s cruel smirk. The cold rush of water that swallowed me whole and then the helpless struggle to stay afloat. Moving my hand to my stomach, with her words ringing in my head, I pressed against it as a relieved smile spread across my lips but it did not last for long. I kept pressing my hands against my stomach to feel the tiny heartbeat that had once been there but there was nothing.“My baby.” I cried, a

Lorenzo's POVThe tension in the courtroom was so thick that it could be cut through with a blade. Across the table sat Alpha Conrad, his expression was composed but his eyes were glinting with mischief like a three year old child that was up to no good. Since he called for a meeting, I didn’t trust him one bit.We were supposed to be discussing a trade agreement between both packs, but with the way things were going, I doubt that was the initial goal of this meeting. He had come here for something else.“Why don’t you come clean? Instead of going around in circles, you should go to the point of this meeting.” I mouthed, drumming my fingers against the arm of my chair, my gaze lingering on him. I watched as he shifted on his seat, a smile spreading across his lips. “I know you aren’t dumb. You caught on easily just like I thought.” He sang like a canary. Leaning forward with a smug smile, he said, “I’ll be honest with you, Alpha Lorenzo. I didn’t just come here for business.”“I

Reader's POVLoretta was uneasy with the high volume of tension between Lorenzo and Conrad. It seemed like she was the only one who was a witness to the silent battle going on between the two men but, Rose, her sister was fully away. Before Loretta walked in earlier, Alpha Conrad had engaged her in a conversation but things changed the moment Loretta stepped in.He stopped indulging in their conversation and his eyes were lingering at Loretta who had her hands intertwined with Alpha Lorenzo.Apart from the fact that Alpha Conrad was still interested in Loretta, Rose was furious because Lorenzo and Loretta looked good together.Alpha Conrad too was furious for the same reason. He had planned to steal Loretta from Lorenzo during the annual ball but it seems that wasn't going to happen anymore. He was seething with anger, but somehow he was able to hold back without drawing attention to himself. In contrast to all this that was happening, the ballroom was booming with music, hearty l
