“Wyatt, I…”Wyatt cupped my face and kissed my forehead as if to calm me down. “It’s not your fault. He had always been sneaky; you can’t win against him.” Wyatt responded calmly, but I couldn’t fail to catch a glint flickering past Wyatt’s eyes.I gnashed my teeth subtly, inwardly blaming Oswald for his nonsensical sentences. I hope Oswald won’t use his words to cause misunderstandings in my relationship with Wyatt. That bastard doesn’t want to stop!The door was suddenly pushed open, jolting me awake from my reverie. Asher strode into the office, and upon seeing me, his legs came to a stop. My eyes fell on Asher’s face. Ever since I saw Asher in the hospital two months ago, I haven’t seen him either. Somehow, Asher seems worn out compared to when I last saw him.My lips pursed, and gloom flickered past my eyes immediately. How does it concern me if Asher seems worn out compared to before? It’s none of my business!I smacked my lips and snorted inwardly, thinking that it was quite
It was later in the afternoon that I woke up to the emptiness of Wyatt and my bedroom. I guess Wyatt must have left for work after our hectic session. I yawned and lazily nestled in the bed like a kitten. The softness of my body made me whimper "Miss, are you awake?" The familiar voice of Fox suddenly invaded my ears. Before I could give a response, the door was pushed open, and Fox stepped into Wyatt and my bedroom with her expression as usual.Except there was something different in Fox’s appearance that I just couldn't pinpoint. Moreover, Fox always asked for permission before she entered, unlike now. I took a deep breath to snap out of the chaotic thoughts that were running through my mind. Perhaps I was just being paranoid, so I tried to suppress them instead.Fox flashed me a sweet smile and stretched out a lunchbox towards me before I could say a word. "Miss, Boss Wyatt ordered me to deliver this to you. Boss Wyatt ordered me to make sure you eat the meal in my presence so he
My eyes widened, and my actions paused at the scenery I saw. My eyes darted around, taking in the view of the beautiful garden I was in, while I kept swinging happily. My mind began to spurn in surprise. Why was I in the garden? Weren’t I at...“Filippa, come over. Dad is home.” The familiar voice of my mom broke me out of reverie. My thinking immediately diffused. “Dad? Mom?” My eyes widen in astonishment, and my face whips towards the direction of the voice. Mom and Dad are still alive? They weren’t dead? Without further thought, I jumped down the swing and dashed towards the voice, finding it too good to be true that my dead parents were alive.Somehow, before I could take the third step, I saw myself right in front of my parent's presence.My eyes widened in disbelief, and before I knew it, tears began to cascade past my eyes, my body trembling. My parents. They're alive… It turns out that they're not dead…“What are you crying for, little Maia?" My dad’s voice suddenly drifted
FILIPPA'S POV“You stupid bitch. Do I need to teach you everything, every damn time?” A heavy kick at my bedroom dilapidated door jolted me awake from my sleep. My heart was beating, and my body was shivering in fright. I stared at the door and I caught the sinister face of Jessica staring at me. My heart skipped in fear and I unconsciously gulped down the saliva forming. I swept a gaze at the clock and the time says 2:59 a.m.“Head. Head maid Jessica. May I ask for the reason you're calling for me at such a time?” Even though I tried to stay calm. My voice somehow ended up coming out in a shaky tone and stutter. Jessica walked toward me and slapped me so hard, that my face whipped to the side. The effect of the slap worsened the dull headache I had. In the broken mirror on the right side of the room, I could see a pink handprint on my cheeks. Tears pooled in my eyes as Jessica grabbed my chin hard and dug her fingernails into my face, but I managed to hold it in, “Didn't I as
FILLIPA'S POVUpon reaching my uncle's office, I raised my hand, musing on whether to knock or not when my uncle's ugly voice resounded in my ear and had me biting my lower lips and clenching my fist to suppress my fear. "Come in."I walked into my uncle's luxurious office, and I saw my uncle sitting behind the alpha's table with an eyeglass lying on the bridge of his nose even though he didn't need it. We werewolves have sharp and clear vision, don't we?Luna Anabelle was sitting next to him with her face caked with makeup as usual, while rubbing his lap with her hand sensually, "Alpha, Luna." I saluted.Both of them ignored my greeting like usual, but this time there was a sinister smile on Alpha Henry's face which made my stomach churn. I unconsciously took a step back.It can't be that Alpha Henry was cooking a wicked plan like asking his guards to throw me into the Red Mist forest where the rogues are to 'train' me or asking me to be injected with an amount of wolfsbane again, so
A hand suddenly grabbed my chin albeit gently and a warm liquid which I recognized as herbal soup poured down my throat.At the bitter taste, I coughed loudly and spit it out immediately.Soon, my face knitted into a frown due to bewilderment and the pain that was coursing through my body.I was thrown down the cliff by the two guards, I hit a giant rock headfirst before I fell into the ocean underneath the cliff.I ended up losing consciousness due to pain and suffocation and I believe that I should be dead by now, yet I don't understand what was going on. Do dead people feel pain?After exerting my strength, my eyes which seemed to be as heavy as lead finally flew wide open. I glanced at the room I was in.I find myself in a room painted white and filled with lavender fragrance. Except for the soft bed I was lying on and a drawer that was placed next to the bed, the room was empty.A spoon appeared in my view which made me glance at the side; I saw a lady in her twenties dressed in
It turns out that I was out for almost two weeks and just like I'd been praying, Beta Wyatt didn't seem to know my identity, or perhaps he had no aim to raise the topic but still, he was distant and cold whenever it came to me.Through Nancy, who was now a friend of mine, I discovered that we were currently in a villa of beta Wyatt which was located deep in the mountains and surrounded by the ocean.According to the rumors I heard, it seems that Beta Wyatt and his team were out in the mountains to search for something, but I have yet to find out what they were.The only information I knew was that Doctor Asher was also on the team. And he's not only a doctor but also a warrior also which was the reason he hopped on the search."We're returning to the pack today; you can choose to come with us or…" Beta Wyatt says to me a week after my wake."I'll come with you." I interrupted anxiously while nodding my head fiercely. "I'll come with you," I replied again.Wyatt ignored me and walked o
I bit my lips hard to suppress the sob that threatened to spill past my lips and the urge to burst into tears. I've always wished for a mate who would acknowledge me, love me, and care for me no matter what storm we may pass through.Unfortunately, that said mate of mine isn't fated to be with me.Why moon goddess? Why is fate cruel to me? Why do I end up losing the things I need most?Alpha Oswald broke contact with me and looked away with a blank expression.My mood fell, and the room seemed to have no space for my presence, suffocating me. The floor seems to be spinning almost making my leg give way. Only the moon goddess knows how I ended up not doing so."Who's she?" Alpha Oswald questioned with a slight frown donning his impeccable handsome features.'Your mate,' Something in me wanted to cry out but unfortunately, I was too weak to do so. Instead, I could only fight the urge to cry because my mate didn't seem to have the intent to acknowledge me."Maia from Green Mist Pack," Wy
