OLIVIA'S POV "Wow, this place is gorgeous..thank you," I commented after Marco pulled the chair out for me like a gentleman that he was. He then sat in front of me too and looked around with a smile. "I wasn't sure where to choose at all so I ended up going for this hoping that it would satisfy you." He replied and I chuckled "I don't ask for much, Marco, and I am not a complainant." I let out and he raised his hands slightly to apologize. "I am sorry if my words sounded offensive. But I hope you got the message." "Yeah, I did." I nodded with a smile. A waitress came to us and handed over the menus. She stood behind me, waiting for us to choose what we would like to have. I opened it and what I saw almost made my heart rip into pieces. Why were things this expensive here? "Don't you like any of it?" Marco asked concernedly. "It's not that. I am only surprised at his expensive these meals are." I replied trustfully and we both went ahead to cho
75The soft repeated pelting of raindrops on the rooftop provided such a serene atmosphere — Michelle was so reluctant to awaken. Here in the Alpha King's chamber, and on his freakishly large bed, she laid, sleeping soundly. There was a slight redness of her eyes, but compared to last night, this was nothing. Then, her eyes were overly puffy and reddened — it wasn't unexpected since she cried bitterly for so many hours. Still, it felt… Nice. Mira's death was unforgettable — she was more than a friend, and a sister combined. The fact that she left this Earth due to murder was overly heartbreaking. Yet… It had happened, and regardless of how heart shattering it was, Michelle had to move on. There certainly was more to life, but her murderer would… No, must be brought to justice. “Shawn…” A sleepy mutter erupted from her lips as her hand unconsciously roamed on the bed. Her mate's side was verily cold, and that prompted her into waking up. Michelle's widened eyes quickly raked th
Michelle's POV_Today I finally graduated from the university and to say I was happy was an understatement, I was filled with so much joy at the achievement that no amount of words could express it.I and my boyfriend Shawn decided to hold a little party to celebrate my graduation. I had only invited a few of my close friends since I wanted to keep things on the low. One thing no one was expecting was that this night will also be the night my best friend will be proposed to.Everyone was busy dancing and partying when the music suddenly stopped and that was when the surprise came in. Tommy went down on one knee and proposed to Mirabel right in front of everyone.Mirabel's dropped in shock as she wasn't expecting this and due to how long she was taking to answer, everyone began to panic until she finally said *Yes!*The whole crowd cheered them on and even I couldn't hide my excitement, but behind that excitement, I was also filled with envy and I suddenly wished that I also was gettin
Michelle's POV_"If you're seeking those kinds of things with me Michelle, then I'm afraid it's never going to happen." He said with a straight face."But we...." I trailed as I got overwhelmed by my emotions. "But you're my mate." I said softly. "Shouldn't mates be together forever? Aren't we supposed to be committed to each other?"Shawn ruffled his hair. "I already told you this Michelle, there's no such thing as commitment or a long lasting relationship, I'm not really into this soulmate thing. Just because we're mates doesn't guarantee a future filled with bliss forever, it doesn't guarantee that something won't go wrong along the line and cause us to separate, feelings can change Michelle, so you better wake up and face the reality of things.""I refuse to be tied down with marriage as an excuse, in fact I think it's best we end things here, I can't give you all that you've asked, it's best we both end things and go our separate ways."The moment he said those words, my blood bo
Michelle's POV_It's been a month since I and Shawn broke up, luckily for me, I managed to secure a job at a restaurant where I now work as a waitress and although I tried to be strong on the outside, deep inside I was slowly losing myself.No matter how hard I tried to get over Shawn, it just seems so impossible to do so, I just can't get over the fact that everything is truly over between us and the way he ended things kept on taunting me.I really tried so hard to be strong for myself but it was really breaking me.My head suddenly started spinning and my vision got blurry, I tried to maintain my balance, but I couldn't.I collapsed to the floor and the last I heard before blacking out was the loud screams of my boss.I had no idea what took place after that, but when I woke up, I found myself in a hospital.I tried getting up but someone suddenly held me back and asked me to relax."Hey, not so fast, you need to relax."I turned to see a middle aged woman wearing a white coat and
Michelle's POV_I had called Mirabel and she hurriedly returned home. When she arrived, she met me curled up in a ball on the floor."Michelle!" She panicked as she rushed to my side, then she helped me up. "What's wrong Michelle? What happened?" She asked, the worry was written all over her face."What do I do Mira? It's all over for me now, I have no idea what to do anymore." I cried out."What are you talking about? Did something happen?" She asked and I nodded."I'm pregnant Mira, I'm one month pregnant.""What!!?" She half yelled as she stumbled backwards in shock and then she fell on her butt. "You're kidding right? Tell me it's not true."I slowly gave her the report, she took it for me and opened it, when she saw the reports for herself, she gasped.I looked at her and this time, the tears began falling uncontrollably. "What am I going to do Mira, my relationship with Shawn already ended, I haven't even heard from him in a month and now I just found out that I'm carrying his c
Michelle's Pov_"How could you say that Shawn!? This is your child we're talking about here!""So? I already told you that I don't want this baby so just get rid of it and end everything, I'm not going to take responsibility for anything, if you need money then I'll give you money, how much money do you want huh? How much money do you want to get rid of that thing in your belly?"I couldn't hold it back any longer and so I slapped him twice. "Had I know you were this kind of person, then I wouldn't have started a relationship with you in the first place, damn the stupid mate bond!""Do you think money is the solution to everything!? No amount of money is worth the life of this baby! So don't you ever dare to say that to me again.""You're nothing but a selfish man Shawn, you only care about yourself and nothing else. I hate you so much and I regret ever meeting you!""You want nothing to do with us right? Fine then, no problem, I'll raise this child alone, I'll raise my baby alone and
SIXMICHELLE_Oh, sometimes I'm certain that there could never be a bigger fool than me. Of all things that could go wrong in my life after Shawn and I separated, it had to be kissing my gynecologist.It wasn't anything sinful – Derek was neither in a relationship nor had a mate, but I couldn't stop myself from feeling so… guilty. Guilty about what?My guilt came about once I went back to the studio for home after my unintentional yet desired kiss with Derek. Some might say I'm foolish. Then again, my relationship with Shawn lasted so long, and well, kissing someone else was something my soul considered as cheating. Despite how dispassionately that bastard treated me. Anyway, pondering too deeply about anything relating to Shawn was undeniably irrelevant. I can't keep wallowing in the past forever, so after much contemplation and coming to a decision, I lay on the worn-out sofa and then drifted to sleep. The next morning came… fast for me. Perhaps it was because I barely slept du
