After the trouble with Oswald, Rex also returned. All that Wyatt is shouldering for me. I knew no one could ever truly care for me as much as Wyatt does. It made my heart seep with warmth. The lady rushed towards me and quickly held me in order to support me. Without waiting for my acceptance or rejection, she helped me return to bed before letting me lie on the bed properly.I massaged my brows and clutched the blanket, my heart speeding extremely fast. Why will Rex do such dangerous things? Why? Did he even care about himself? This is between Rex and me; Rex should have come to me; why is he involving innocent people in this? Why?It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t let Rex down, none of this would’ve happened. I rubbed my forehead, feeling a headache creeping in. I snapped out of it and stared at the lady solemnly."What's the situation? The casualties? Is Wyatt fine? What about the Hayes family and the pack members?” My hand flew to grab her gloved hand.The anxiety and worry bubbli
I yawned lethargically and sprawled on my back, my eyes closed.It’s been two months since it was revealed that I’ve gotten pregnant and the war with Rex happened. Ever since then, Wyatt has made me stay at home to watch over my health and make sure that nothing goes wrong with my baby.Being home all the time made me have so much leisure time.Suddenly, the bed was sunken, and the familiar sandalwood scent drifted into my nose. Wyatt’s hand wrapped around my waist, and in one swift movement, I was sitting right on Wyatt’s lap.My eyes flew wide open, and I wrapped my hands around Wyatt’s neck before burying my face in the crook of his neck. I inhaled Wyatt’s musky sandalwood scent, and I felt myself calm down. Wyatt gently rubbed my back and waist as if to comfort me.Wyatt held my chin gently and cupped my cheeks. “Baby, you haven't eaten all day.”I opened my eyes and pursed my lips in a thin line due to unhappiness. Somehow, all the foods I loved to eat in the past didn’t seem
…As soon as it was dawn, I nimbly removed Wyatt’s hand that wrapped around my waist and crept away from Wyatt’s embrace while making sure that I was quiet and careful as much as I could. Immediately, I placed a pillow in my previous position and let Wyatt hug the pillow instead. Wyatt didn't move or shake at all, seemingly very oblivious to my actions. Clearly, Wyatt was so worn out due to the hectic work he had been doing.Thinking about it made my heart ache a lot. I had to use all I could to retrain myself from stroking his sleeping face and telling him it'd be alright. I began to tiptoe while trying to make my breathing as silent as possible as I made my way toward the door. As soon as I reached the door, I quietly placed my hand on it before turning the doorknob silently.I tiptoed out of the room, walked out of the bedroom, and continued to make my way towards the kitchen.As soon as I stepped into the kitchen, I made my way towards the apron section.I wore it and made my
“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
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
