CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT."When was the last time you called or paid me a visit? Two months? Five years? Six centuries? One millenium?" Alina, Tegan’s cousin, blasted over the phone the moment she answered Tegan's call. "Alina calm down.""Young woman, don't you dare tell me to calm down. You got me worried sick and I couldn't even call because I'm not allowed to. You are the only one who can do so or give me the signal to do it, but you didn't.""But I have now! And there's nothing for you to be worried about, I'm doing perfectly fine!" She insisted as she locked her room door and went over to sit on her bed. Alina sighed on the other end of the phone."Right. If you say so then, what made you call me today? What's popping?""Alina." She cried. "I cannot begin to tell you how stressed I am right now. Ever since Reign was brought into this castle, things have been going downhill heel for.""Oh my God. Tell me what happened sis.""I can't really tell you everything in detail, but in summa
CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINE."You are awake." Alpha Kai announced as Reign stirred on the bed and her eyes fluttered open. The first thing that caught her attention was the chandelier above. She didn't have a chandelier on the ceiling in her bedroom. She looked around and everything else was strange, yet familiar.That wasn't her bedroom. It was Alpha Kai's.She snapped her head in his direction with surprised-filled eyes."How did I get here?""Good morning to you too, love." Reign rolled her eyes and forced herself to sit upright. Her head still felt fuzzy and her eyes, sleepy, but she needed answers before deciding if she'll be going to bed again or not."Alpha Kai." Her stern voice called. Alpha Kai turned off the lock screen of the iPad in his hand and set aside before turning to face her fully. That's when Reign saw that he was fully dressed for work in his usual formal outfit. His black hair was perfectly styled. He looked pristine as always. Just the sight of him was making Reign imag
CHAPTER NINETY."Tegan. Good morning." Baldwin greeted with a raspy voice over the phone."It's eight am in the morning and you are still in bed?" Tegan asked and laughed cheerfully. "I'm a Beta, not a grade schooler. Work doesn't start until nine.""Ah… I see." "Why are you calling me so early in the morning? This has never happened." Tegan chuckled."I know, right." She unconsciously wrapped a few strands of hair around her left index finger and twirled it as she thought of how to break the news about the silver to him. "I called because I want to tell you something important. I wanted to wait for you to get the news first, but I figured you'd be upset if you had to find out what I'm about to do after hearing the results, so I said to tell you first.""I sure would have been. What's it you want to tell me? Shoot." He scrunched his skull with his fingers as he patiently waited for her to speak."The things I've truly been upset about Reign being pregnant and having Alpha Kai's att
CHAPTER NINETY-ONE."Come in." Baldwin insteucted when he heard a knock on his office door. Because he knew who it was already, he closed the book he was scribbling things on and set aside. The door opened and Gisele, the servant girl who didn't serve the poison, walked into the office with an unsure look on her face. She looked frightened. "Good day to you Beta Baldwin." She greeted him respectfully. Baldwin simply nodded his head and gestured to her to take the seat across from him. Hesitantly, she did and soon, they were facing each other."Your name is Gisele, right?" He asked carefully."Yes. I'm Gisele.""How did you get close to Tegan?" He asked with creased brows. Since the silver incident, he had been trying to understand how Tegan got so close and comfortable with a maid to the extent where she trusted that maid enough to send her on such a dangerous mission without any fear that she could get ratted out.Gisele clammed her sweaty hands together and played with her fingers.
CHAPTER NINETY-TWO.Reign, after her conversation with Baldwin had still not calmed down. She was mad at Tegan and she wanted to meet with her so she could give her a piece of her mind. For about one hour now, she had been going over to Tegan's bedroom to see if she was in it, but she had been all the time she went to check.Reign was frustrated.She was getting impatient.The anger boiling in her heart had turned into a fireball and she was ready to shoot it straight at Tegan's face so she could feel her wrath."What are you doing here?" A voice asked as she was about to knock on Tegans room door for the umpteenth time that day. She stopped, turned around and her eyes met with a familiar face. It was Lucy, Tegan's personal servant."Lucy. Hi!" She tried to be polite, the scorn on Lucy's face didn't wipe off.Like her Mistress, she despised Reign."I asked you a question. What are you doing here?""I just want to see Tegan." Reign forced a smile."Tegan stepped out, so stop knocking
CHAPTER NINETY-THREE.Reign finally fell asleep after all her screaming and fighting. Alpha Kai, who had been watching her sleep for a while now, stood up from the bed and looked down at her, while sighing heavily.Her words had been ringing in his mind.Tegan tried to poison her so she could have lost their baby.His heir.The Supreme heir.Even his wolf, Kol, was against him dismissing that topic without carrying out any proper investigation and that investigation was going to start by asking Tegan what happened.As quietly as he could, he exited his bedroom and headed straight for Tegan's."Alpha Kai." Tegan called in horror when she opened the door and saw his rigid self standing before her, with a no nonsense look on his face."Can I come in?" His cold voice asked. Tegan instantly nodded her head and stepped away from the doorway. As Alpha Kai walked into her bedroom, her heart began pounding hard in her chest.Her room was like a chamber of secrets.Just in the bathroom were emp
CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR."Whoever it is, go away. I don't want to talk to anyone right now." Reign shouted grumpily from the bed when she heard a knock on the door.She was in a very sour mood.Once more, Alpha Kai had decided to overlook her words despite the fact that what she claimed to have happened was a matter of life and death. If Gisele had put the poison in her food, she would be in a bad place by then, all because of Tegan, but as usual, Alpha Kai did not believe it.She was devastated and didn't want to speak with anyone for the rest of the day.The knock on the door came through again. That was the third time. Whoever it was, kept persisting. Reign groaned in annoyance and stepped down from the bed to go open the door."You!" She scolded when age opened the door and saw Tegan smiling evilly at her. "What are you doing…" She didn't get to finish her question because Tegan rudely pushed her away from the door and stepped into the bedroom.Reign looked at her in awe."I can see
CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE.Baldwin was smiling all the way back to his chambers. What Alpha Kai had agreed to do made him so happy, he wanted to sing with joy, but he knew he had to hold himself back especially in Tegan's presence.She has to stay innocent and unsuspecting throughout the time of Alpha Kai's investigation so she won't say anything to her father that will put them in a tight spot."Soon Tegan…" He whispered under his breath. "Just very soon, you and your father's plans will be ruined and everyone in your family involved in this scheme will be punished accordingly." He muttered.He was feeling a bit tipsy and as he walked, he staggered a few times, but his mind was still intact. He and Alpha Kai had drunk a great quantity of tequila, but he seemed to be the only one who had gotten tipsy."Beta Baldwin." A guard called as he walked into his living room."Yes… whoever you are." He slurred. The guard chuckled."You look wasted!""I'm not." He argued. "If you say so.” The guard
