MOSES'S POVI woke up the next morning to feel a soft and warm body close to me. It had been such a distressful night for me and feeling the warm body beside me did much to brighten my mood.I let out a smile, I was glad Matilda had finally come around. And I immediately resolved within myself to never hurt her again no matter what, and I would always trust her.I put my arms around her body with my eyes still closed and she snuggled against my chest, but then the smell felt different but I had no idea why.I slowly opened my eyes so I would look into her eyes and apologize one more time for what I did to her. But then I was shocked when I opened my eyes to see the person lying beside me.Instead of the innocent Matilda whom I had expected to be beside me, it was the cunning and quick-witted Sara who was lying naked and snuggled against me. I stared at her wide-eyed and immediately sat up on the bed only to realize that I was also completely naked."How did this happen?" I was confuse
MATILDA'S POVIt's been two weeks since I left Alpha Moses's chamber and returned to my old chamber.Although I no longer stayed with Alpha Moses, I made sure to visit grandmother in her chamber every day. But while at it, I also tried as much as I could to completely avoid Alpha Moses.He had tried making me talk to him several times, but I turned him down. He could go ahead and talk to Sara for all I care.One evening, while I was going to my grandmother's chamber to check on her, Alpha Moses was coming out of her room at the exact time.I tried to ignore him as usual and walked into my grandmother's room, but he held my hand."Matilda, for how long will you keep avoiding me like this?""Let go of my hand immediately," I said coldly, but he kept holding onto me."Matilda, you have to stop doing this.""I said let go of me!" I said it even more coldly this time and pulled my hand forcefully away from his before walking into my grandmother's room.After spending time with my grandmot
MATILDA'S POVI stood there staring at Sara with my fists clenched as she rubbed her stomach with a mischievous smile on her face."It seems like you are having a hard time guessing who the father of my baby is." She said it in a mocking voice.She lowered her eyes, looked at my clenched fists, and then let out a mocking laughter. She was trying to get on my nerves."It should be something very easy to guess, Matilda, at least for you. Oh! I forgot you were dumb. My bad. If not, this would have been easy."I swallowed hard, hoping it wasn't what I was thinking."Well, I think I should save you from the pain of guessing and just tell you who it is. She flipped her hair and adjusted her dress. "As you should have guessed correctly, the father of my unborn child is no one else but Alpha Moses."My heart dropped the moment she said that.Well, there was no reason to be surprised; she had been sleeping with him all along. He just kept on showing me, with any slight chance he got, that I me
MATILDA'S POV The moment I slumped in the pack's hospital, Kelvin carried me in his arms before Alpha Moses could get to me and headed toward my chamber.He laid me down on the bed gently when we got to my room."Are you okay, Matilda? He asked, his eyes focused on me worriedly, and I nodded.I tried to talk to Sapphira to ask her if she knew why I collapsed after healing grandmother, but she was also weak, just like me, whimpering in pain."I had no idea how I suddenly turned weak," I said to Kelvin, who was still hovering over me, trying to check if I had any serious injuries.Leah, one of my maids, rushed in a while later with a bowl of water and a towel and started using them to wipe my face and body."How about grandmother? Does she feel better now? I asked Leah, who was using a wet towel on my face."She is awake now, and she is asking after you."I felt happy and relieved hearing that, at least, even though I was weak after healing her, I was still able to heal her. I don't kn
MATILDA'S POVWhen I woke up that fateful morning, I decided to go check on grandmother in the hospital again. She had been there for two days now, and I was getting a bit bothered about her condition.She had fallen asleep when I was there last night, and Luxian said she was still weak.Why was she still weak even after I healed her the other day? Is it that my power is not that effective in healing her completely?When I got to the hospital, my grandmother was still lying weak on the hospital bed. I could hardly tell if she was sleeping or awake, but I sat by her bed and spoke to her all while wiping her face and neck with a towel dipped in cold water.I looked closely into her face, hoping that she would at least say a word to me, but she stayed quiet."Grandmother, I think it's high time I take my future into my own hands. I said, taking her palm and caressing it softly. "I want to leave this pack for good and return to my father's pack, but I just can't leave here when you are st
MATILDA'S POVI felt the eyes of all the pack members who had gathered at the training ground watching me as I walked back to my chamber.Isn't this funny? Just a few months ago, I had stayed here, and I was always at the center of most of the fights going on in the pack. I was always creating scenes.Becoming a nuisance, I guess.I shifted back to my human form the moment I got in front of my chamber and walked in. I felt Eva hug me from behind, laughing really hard."You know what, Matilda? I was blessed the day I met you, and I really love how you dealt with those wolves; at least next time they would know who to challenge." She laughed.I laughed out loud too. "But come to think of it, Eva, all of these would not have been possible without you.""Oh! Please." Eva waved her hand, laughing."You know, Eva, Sapphira seemed to have developed a soft spot for Bax; I did not expect her to leave when she saw him. It's really a great surprise." I said I felt impressed, and we both laughed
MATILDA'S POVThere was a commotion in the throne room the moment the words left my mouth, and all the elders started murmuring among themselves.Alpha Daniel looked at me with his mouth wide open, surprise written all over his face."What do you mean you are taking over the throne?" He growled, his jaw slack.A smile appeared on my lips, my head high, and then I looked around at the faces of the elders in the throne room."All of you here would agree with me that the current leader in this pack is not deserving of the throne; the pack needs a good and strong leader who is capable of taking care of the pack." I shared, my voice filled with strength."And who told you this useless and wolfless child could protect the pack? I'm sure living with Alpha Moses as his whore has given you a lot of courage, hun!" Luna Liza said, and I smirked.That was not the first time hearing people calling me Alpha Moses whore.There was more commotion in the throne room among the elders, confusion written
THIRD POVAlpha Daniel and Matilda approached each other fiercely in the middle of the pack's square, each one of them determined to come out victorious in the fight.Alpha Daniel was determined to stand victorious and reserve the right to his throne, which his treacherous daughter was determined to take away from him and make hers, while Matilda, on the other hand, was more than determined to defeat her father and show everyone present there that she was no longer that wolfless, useless little girl that was disgracefully sent away from the pack a few months ago.The battle started with a fierce clash, with Matilda rendering a major blow to Alpha Daniel that almost threw him off balance."I must have underrated her after all." He thought and came at her with even stronger force than he had done earlier.He let out a loud snarl and ran towards her once again. Matilda, who was determined to not back down in the fight, let out an even louder snarl that shook the pack once again and came
