Natalia’s povFlashbackBeta Heimdall obviously hadn't expected to be challenged. He spun around as he had been backing the people after the insult he passed to my father. The brief expression of surprise followed by shock on his face was satisfying to see. He raised his eyebrows and tried to look around at the people in order to fish out who had spoken. Fear gripped everyone around me as my mother subtly tried to pull me away from where I was defiantly standing with my hands on my hips but I shook her off in anger.I was too angry at that point to think of fear. In fact, the fear I should have felt only made me become bolder. I had two options. Either I pleadingly become meek and retract my words or stand tall and proud for my father. I chose the latter option. I wouldn't back down. It wasn't a part of me. So, becoming more brazen, I opened up my mouth and began to speak. "Huh! Are you surprised? No! You aren't. You just didn't expect someone to stand up to you and speak out aga
Beta Heimdall's P.O.VI felt like strangling her and making her mouth twist sideways. She needed to suffer for the rude way she had spoken and acted. Most especially, the way she had stood up to me. I felt she should be punished. The Alpha shouldn't have brushed my suggestions that she be shown who was superior aside. He only told me to let things go for the main time since I had taken her as tribute. She should be tied to a tree and thrashed with a whip that had silver blades attached to its tips. I hated her and her guts. In fact, she should be strangled by no other person but me. The only reason she made it to Devil Claw Wolfpack was because I needed to present her whole to my Alpha. If there was a way I could have disposed of her, I would have done so already. But there was no way I could do that without my Alpha knowing about it. If her father didn't inform him,the maids and warriors would surely sing. There was no way I would be able to silence them. I took one last look at
Author's pov"What do we do now?" A nurse rushed from outside into the ward. " Beta Heimdall is on his way and she's yet to wake up."The look of anxiety and gear on the nurse's face was immediately copied by several other nurses and staff of the Devil Claw Wolfpack's medical team. They all frantically began to move in different directions as none of them wanted to be caught by the approaching Beta. He was as furious as a tailless bull. It had been three days since Natalia lost her consciousness in front of Devil Claw Wolfpack's pack house and Alpha Draco's order that none of them was leaving the office until she woke up. By the time the furious Beta Heimdall stormed up to the door of the medical building, only a frightened little nurse was standing behind the large desk and shaking like a leaf in her seat. "Y..yo..you're w...w..welcome, Beta Heimdall." She managed to stammer out frighteningly while her hands were tightly clasped in front of her. Her frightened face was pale and
Alpha Draco's P.O.V. I looked at my Beta calmly seated on the other side of the table and squinted my eyes dangerously. My wolf was dancing on the edge and it was just a little provocation that would make me snap and unleash it. I was looking for an outlet to release my anger but I didn't want him to be at the receiving end. I knew he hated the girl and being berated for her sake wasn't going to help matters. I pushed back my wolf at this thought and began to think of other things. He had just told me the doctor's report. The tribute girl wasn't waking up until she felt like it. I didn't know what to feel. Anger. Amusement. Wonder. Bewilderment. I was the god my pack and its subsidiaries look up to and worship after the moon goddess. I determine who could live and who could die. I determine who could sleep and who couldn't. If I decided that no one could sleep for the next three days, my order would be carried out without anyone raising any objections or batting an eyelid. So, I
Beta Heimdall's P O.VI stormed down the hallway from the Alpha's office to the living room. My anger knew no bounds. I couldn't understand why Alpha Draco was indulging her. I got outside and stormed towards one of the pillars standing against the roof. Without another thought or word, I sent my fist towards it. The force of the fist connecting with it made the roof shake. I could see several of the warriors training and once they saw me, they hurriedly bowed their heads in greeting. I ignoted them abd went among them selecting those who would go with me to Talon pack. I couldn't bear the thought that a tribute girl was making me run around like there was a rope around my neck. This made whatever hate I had for her triple in my heart. For now, I wasn't just seeking her punishment. I was seeking her death abd the total annihilation of her pack. The pack she desperately wanted to save. "Are you done selecting your men? Are you already on the way?"I heard Alpha Draco's stern and e
Natalia's P.O.VThe atmosphere felt cold. I brought my hands close and wrapped them around my cold body but it was of no use. I was cold and weary. I tried to look for a corner to lay down but I found none. My hands only felt the air and nothing else. There was no wall to signify if it was a room or a house. There was no door. Everything was just dark and cold. The cold was seeping into my body and soon, my bones were cold. The cold extended its icy fingers and wrapped them cruelly around my heart. As there was no place for me to sit or lie, I continued moving forward although I had no idea where I was headed. I figured that if I got weary while moving on, at most I would pass out and come around later. A sad smile crossed my face at that point but there was nothing I could do. At a point, I began calling out to whoever was on the other side of the darkness to help me but no reply came. Nobody heard my voice 0r listened to my plea. The weariness was getting to me but the cold wa
Natalia's povIt's been three days. Three days since I regained consciousness. Since I escaped death at the hands of the unknown men who were after me in my dreams. I roll from one side of the bed to the other. I was bored and felt irritated. I could see the basket of fruit set beside the bed. It had been brought in the afternoon by an elderly woman who was followed by two maids. One of the maids had carried a tray of food while the other had carried the basket of fruit. The woman had told me they were gifts from the Alpha and that he wished me a quick recovery. I hadn't bothered to answer. I only nodded my head and turned to face the wall. Upon seeing I wasn't interested in them nor the gifts they came bearing,the elderly woman ushered the girls out and bid me goodbye. I would have had my mother's company as I remembered waking up that day to see her excited face. Before I could ask her any questions, the doctor together with some of his nurses rushed in with a face I never wan
Alpha Draco's P.O.V. I kept rolling listlessly from one side of the king sized bed to the other side. I found it hard to sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, images of her filled them. Even in death, it was obvious she was traumatised. Many rumours had gone out that I was responsible for the death of my wives but none of them could be any further from the truth.Some of the rumours claimed I would always tear my wives into pieces once I shifted into my wolf form and let my rage take over. Another rumour claimed I had beaten them to death while an exaggerated one claimed I usually locked them up to die of starvation. It never ceases to amaze me how women who were seemingly healthy before getting pregnant with my child would suddenly become I'll and die overnight. In most cases, the doctors would find nothing wrong and point the cause of death as natural. Why didn't they die before they became pregnant? Why would they die after getting pregnant?I took my time to go through several
