MATILDA'S POV Eva and I were still hiding behind the big rock inside the cave when I heard Luxian calling my name while walking into the cave, looking around for us.The both of us came out from our hiding place as soon as we were aware that it was Luxian who had come into the cave. I should have known he was the one, who else knew about the cave if not him?"Luxian!" I called softly as I walked out of the hiding. " What are you doing here? Are you not supposed to be at the mating event? Is the event over?" I asked him curiously, thinking he should be at the mating event except his situation turned out just like Eva.I totally forgot not wearing any clothes before Luxian walked in and used my hand to cover the upper part of my body, feeling shy standing in front of Luxian like that, but Eva seemed to act normal, she did not see it as anything, being seen by another wolf without wearing cloth.Even Luxian didn't see a big deal in this, he just looked at us just like the way he always
MATILDA'S POV My head hurt like crazy when I opened my eyes, at first there were scales in my eyes so I could not see properly, but I felt something cold moving on my body.I moved my hand and rubbed my eyes gently with my fingers."You are awake." I need a voice.I immediately recognized the voice that spoke to me, and then the scales covering my eyes wore out and I saw Eva hovering over me. She had a wet cloth on her hand and a bucket of water by her side."You are awake!" she said again looking at me as I sat up on the bed while rubbing my eyes at the same time. It was kind of hard for me to grasp exactly what was going on in my environment.Why had I zoned out and why does Eva have a worried look on her face?"How are you feeling now?" She asked worriedly, with her eyes scanning my body.I nodded my head to tell her I was okay, apart from the slight headache I felt, and the unrest all over my body I was okay. But then why was I having such a worried feeling?The look of worry on
MOSES'S POV I woke up with my eyes blurred and my head spinning, my head pounded, sharp and heavy and I felt pains all over my body, especially my stomach. I tried to set up on the bed but my entire body was weak, and then, I remembered I was poisoned.I tried to sense my wolf, but he was only whimpering in pain, trying to recover from the poison, just like me.I managed to look around my silent environment despite the heavy pains in my body. I noticed that I was in the pack's hospital, Louis was sitting by my bedside."You are awake." He said with a smile when he noticed my movements and stood up quickly."Where is that girl who had poisoned me? I hope you did not let her escape?" I asked, ignoring his excitement on seeing that I was awake. He should not expect me to die just like that, did he?I had seen the kind of speed and guts she possessed when I had chased her, not that I did not completely trust my men, but I just wanted to make sure."No alpha Moses, there is no way she wo
MOSESI got to the dungeon and ran in quickly, I saw the body of the she-wolf lying down lifelessly on the ground. I turned to look at Louis who had the same shocked expression on his face as me, then I bent down to have a close look at the body, just then Luxian came into the dungeon."You sent me alpha…" His words were left hanging in his mouth when he saw the dead girl on the ground."What happened here?" He asked with the same surprised expression on his face."Exactly why I sent for you, I was told she committed suicide." We both bent down to examine her body and then I noticed that there was blood coming out of her mouth, exactly what had almost happened to me earlier.After taking a close look at her body, I noticed there was something in her mouth."This is belladonna leaf," Luxian said at almost the same time that I realized what the leaf was."She must have used the same poison she had used on me to commit suicide," I said in a low tone.What could she be up to? Why did she
MATILDA'S POV Seeing him giving such orders that I should be treated like a common slave made my heart churn, but it did not surprise me anymore as I was already aware of the kind of ruthless person he was. And here I was getting worried sick because I heard he was poisoned, but he did not mind treating me badly. As I was dragged away by the guards, followed by the head maid, I kept turning back to look at the face of the man who had once treated me with so much love and respect.I was dragged until we got to the kitchen."Here." The head maid said and I was pushed to the ground roughly by the guards. I gasped when my body hit the ground because my elbow slightly brushed the ground thereby causing a bruise."You should also ask me to get you a bed and a pillow so that you would be able to sleep more comfortably." The head maid suddenly said sarcastically with a smile on her face."Huh?" I asked, looking up at her with wide eyes."Did you come here to work or sleep? Why are you lying
MOSES'S POV I stood there and watched as the guards dragged Matilda away from my presence on my command, at first I did not feel any iota of pity for her.Until when I was about to go inside then I heard my wolf yelling at me."Are you happy now? Why would you even give such an order? Treating her like a maid? I hope you eventually regret treating her like that.""Oh! Shut up, Bax." I said to him in a low voice."I should shut up? Of course, I will, but when you regret all your actions, I will be the one to shut you up then." He answered with a smirk.I ignored the different feeling I started to have after Bax scolded me and went ahead to go into the house, but I was restless, I kept pacing around the room. Why was I getting worried because of her?After a while of restlessness, I decided to go to the kitchen to see how she was being treated by the head maid. I wanted to know how much she was getting punished even though I was the one who had instructed it. While I took gentle steps
MATILDA'S POV Eva and I silently walked back to the slave's quarters with my arms wrapped securely around my body. I was scared that Alpha Moses would find out about my wolf soon or later. What would have happened if Eva and Louis didn't show up that time? Was he going to be disappointed or happy that I wasn't wolfless anymore?"Were you about to get punished before I arrived?" Eva asked me as we walked together, that was actually the first time she spoke after we left alpha Moses's presence.I shook my head because I was not able to tell her what was about to happen to me before Eva arrived.I felt goosebumps all over my body and my nipples became hard but the feeling was something I could not explain. Why was I feeling this way?I thought probably it was still a result of the fear I felt when I was in Alpha Moses' presence earlier."Does our mate hate us?" Sapphire suddenly asked for the first time that night and my heart tingled, then rolled my eyes at the question.I hoped she
MATILDA'S POVSleeping peacefully on our small bed, with my hand around Eva. My eyes slightly opened when I felt a cold breeze all over my body and I looked toward the window, which was barely covered with a small rag I called a curtain, then I saw it was morning."Shit! Why is it so early today?" I sat up and a growl left my mouth as the reality hit me, I had slept past the time I was supposed to resume to the pack house. It was not as if I did not expect that to happen because I had slept late last night, Eva and I had stayed up last night talking, but I was thinking Eva was going to wake me up since she was a morning person.Knowing that I just had a little time to get to the pack house before Alpha Moses woke up, I stood up from the bed immediately and started getting ready to go to the pack house.I tapped Eva who was still sleeping on the bed too."Eva, It's time to wake up," I said calmly.She sprang up immediately and she yawned weakly."What is the time? You should not be he
