Arabella’s POVLife has been going well so far. It’s been a month since my birthday. The car Jack got for me has made things a whole lot easier for me. I’ve been able to drop my kids and pick them up without any hassle. I don’t need to walk for miles anymore.Everything has been going smoothly. The only thing that’s got me worked up now is the fact that Delinda hasn’t been feeling well for a few days.It’s nothing serious. She just feels a bit weak and she has a high body temperature. I’ve been giving her drugs to supress the pain she’s feeling. It’s been working so far but I’m still a bit worried.Right now, I’m driving the three of them to school. I look at Delinda through my rearview mirror. She leaned her head on the chair. She looks alright. She’s just a bit quiet.“Delinda” I called her.She looked in my direction “Yes mummy”“Are you alright, my love? Are you strong enough to go to school today? You can come back with me if you’re not strong enough”“I’m okay, mommy”“You sure
Alpha RhysIt took me less than twenty minutes to get home. I did my best to drive as fast as I could just so I could meet up. I didn't want to keep Evans waiting. I'm certain he has other patients to attend to at the clinic.As soon as I arrived at the palace, I noticed that Craig's car was outside in the parking lot. I wonder what he was doing at the palace. Shaking off the feeling, I went straight to Mia's room and knocked on the door.I could hear the sound of feet and shuffling in the room.Could she be busy?I knocked again.I need her to hurry up. I don't want to keep Evans waiting."Mia?" I called out."Coming," she said.Just as I raised my hand to knock again, the door opened.Mia stood there dressed in a robe. She only wears this robe when she's about to or has just taken a shower."HI," she said.She sounded breathless like she had been breathing heavily."Are you okay?" I asked her "Your breathing isn't even""Oh" she smiled "I'm fine. Don't worry about it. I was just ge
ARABELLA’S POVI sat in my dimly lit living room. I stared into space, deep in thought. I can feel the burden of my worry weighing down on me like a heavy weight.This room that was once filled with laughter now felt too quiet. The silence is a reminder of the challenging times that I’m facing now.Delinda has been sick for a few weeks now. The worst part is that she’s not responding to treatment. I’ve given her all the drugs and herbs that I could think of. She’s so sick to the point that she’s unable to go to school. Her absence from school will no doubt affect her academic and social life. I know it might not matter much because she’s a kid but it hurts me because I know how much she loves going to school. Her being away from her friends will make things worse ad will make her feel lonelier. I worry about her health every day. I know what to do to make her feel better but I dot have the heart to do it. How do I go back to a pack where everyone there betrayed me? How can I face t
ARABELLA’S POVAfter Jenny left, I went upstairs to check on Delinda. My little girl was too weak to move. She still looks pale and her body is a bit hot. I gave her the drugs I had before going back downstairs.I stayed in the living room, watching TV to distract my mind a little. I’ve been thinking so much to the point that I’m starting to have headaches. Getting worked up won’t solve anything. I have to decide for my daughter’s health.My phone rang, interrupting my thoughts. It was Jack calling. I picked it up “Hello?”“Hey, beautiful. How are you?”I smiled.Jack has that effect on me. He always knows the right things to say to make me feel better.“I’m okay. How are you?” I responded.“You don’t sound okay though. I asked of you and they told me you didn’t come to work”“I had to take care of Delinda. That’s why I didn’t come”“I understand. I can imagine how stressed you must be. You sound tired”I let out a deep breath “I am tired”“You know what? Let’s go have some fun. You
JACK’S POVI shook my legs, doing my best to keep myself calm. I bent my head down because I was trying to do my best to focus my aura on something else.If I look at someone in my angered state, my aura is enough to knock that person down even without me lifting a finger.I heard the manager come in. He asked what happened.“Why don’t you ask this bitch?” the girl said.This girl is lucky she’s a female. If she was a man like me, I wouldn’t think twice before knocking her out.How dare she talk to my Arabella that way?I hate the fact that Arabella acts so nice. If it was Jenny, she would have slapped the girl by now. Jenny doesn’t have the patience Arabella has.This girl has the nerve to insult Arabella. She also insulted me as an Alpha. Now, she’s calling Arabella a bitch? This girl has got another thing coming.I mind-linked Gray.“Yes Alpha?” he answered “Is there a problem?”“Come to the Blue Sea restaurant now. Bring guards with you. someone’s getting on my nerves”“I’ll be o
Arabella's POV"I'm ready to go back to the Frostbite pack", I told him. I thought about it carefully. My discussion with Jenny was all I needed to make up my mind. Earlier, I looked at myself in the mirror. Jenny wasn't lying when she said that I don't look the same way I did five years ago. I had added a bit of weight due to childbirth. My facial structure had changed. I didn't have any scars. My hips were noticeably wider and curvier. It'll be hard for anyone to recognize me. Apart from that, I learned to do makeup over the years by watching YouTube videos in my spare time. It shouldn't be too hard to disguise myself. As soon as I said those words, I could see the expression on Jack's face change. "What?" he asked "Why?" There's only one reason I'm doing this. I'm doing this because of Delinda. Left to me, I'll never step foot in that pack till I die but my baby girl is sick. It hurts my heart to see her health deteriorate. It hurts even more when I know there's something I
Arabella povIt's been over a week since I made my decision and my moving out day is finally here. Jack and Jenny helped me bring out the boxes one by one then placed them in the trunk of my car. I don't have too many belongings so it didn't take too much time. I just packed clothes for my kids and for me too along with the essentials that they'll need. I stared at the living room, taking a deep breath as I looked around for what felt like the last time. I'm going to miss this house. This is one place that truly felt like home. It holds so many memories, mostly good ones. I can't wait to come back here. Jack came down the stairs, holding a box filled with my belongings. "Is that the last box?" I asked him. "Yes," he breathed heavily "What do you have in here anyway? Why is it so heavy?"I shrugged with a smile "A girl has her secrets"He rolled his eyes "Women"I chuckled. He left the house with the huge box he carried. With a heavy sigh, I took one last look at the house befo
Arabella's POVThe next morning was the day of the surgery.I woke up really early this morning. I spent about an hour and a half in front of the mirror attempting to do a natural makeover. Natural makeup is way harder than people think.I had to do a "no makeup" kind of look. I didn't want to do too much or too little.When I was done, I couldn't recognize myself in the mirror.I looked at the clock. It was 9 . already. The surgery is scheduled for 11 a.m. I have to be in the hospital as soon as possible. I still have to make some arrangements and go over the patient's file.The doctor in charge provided a babysitter to look after the kids while I was at work. I was grateful for that. It means I wouldn't have to worry much about them.I walked into their room. I had gotten them ready for the day."Are you all set, my darlings?" I asked them."Yes mommy" Declan and Damon chorused.Delinda was sleeping on her bed.I bent down to their level so I could talk to them."The babysitter will
