The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 43: My Husband and My Lover
-=Martina's Point of View=-I still couldn't believe that after all these months I would finally see him again, but what perplexed me was the fact that he was standing in the middle of the rain alone."Is that really you?" I asked."Yes, Martina," he replied.His voice sounded the same as I remembered it, but this time, his voice didn't unnerve me compared to before.The only possible reason was that during his absence I learned a great deal about him, how he is kind to everybody, especially to the people on this island, and of course, about me and my dad."What are you doing here?"He was about to answer when he was stopped by a voice from behind me, and even without looking, I recognized that voice as Zeke."Master Zion, I told you not to go out," he said worriedly.Maybe I was just thinking too much, or maybe I was just imagining things, but I felt that there was something off about the way Zeke talked to Zion."I didn't expect for the rain to fall again," he replied.He appeared t
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 44: Meeting Zion Again
-=Martina's Point of View=-I woke up the following morning still feeling lightheaded, but it didn't take long to remember what happened last night.I was about to meet with Kian last night, and I wanted to ask him how he managed to disappear the other night without me noticing it. Another thing that I wanted to ask was, even though I wasn't sure if it was sensible to ask about the tales about the dangerous man who lives on the western side of the island, which happened to be where Kian was living.I was eager to see him last night, but I didn't expect that instead of finding Kian, I would find Zion, who had just returned from the hospital.When I thought of Zion, I couldn't help but feel a surge of guilt in my chest, followed by self-reproach.To think that I was so sure that I could face Zion and tell him about my wrongdoing, but when I was facing Zion, I didn't have the courage to tell him at all, and what does that make me?"Shameless and a coward, that's who I am," I thought to m
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 45: Waiting for Kian
-=Martina's Point of View=-As expected, I couldn't bring the courage or decency to admit to my wrongdoing; even until I was done with my breakfast, I didn't manage to urge myself to confess to cheating with another man.Before, I couldn't bear to look Zion in the eyes because of the intimidation I felt towards him, but now, I couldn't look him in the eyes because every time I saw the sincerity in his eyes, the guilt inside me was too much to bear.I was amazed at how I could easily eat with him, acting calm as if I hadn't done anything wrong, but honestly, deep inside me, I just wanted to run and leave and just go back in my room and stay there for all eternity."Are you feeling unwell, Martina?"I was stunned when I heard Zion's voice, and the guilt inside me was already eating me up from the inside, especially when I heard the genuine concern in his voice."I'm... fine; I just didn't have the appetite," I replied, forcing a smile."If you feel like anything to eat, maybe we could..
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 46: Good News
-=Martina's Point of View=-"There was definitely no other day!"That was what was running through my mind after returning to my room after waiting outside for Kian to come.A sigh of frustration and hurt passed my lips when it dawned on me that it has been three days now since our failed meeting when Zion unexpectedly returned, where I found him standing in my and Kian's meeting place, and ever since that day, I haven't failed to leave the castle and have waited for him patiently.I waited for him to see me for three days, and yet, it only made me disappointed and lonely.My longing for Kian had grown so strong that I was on the verge of embarking on a voyage to the western part of the island, where he lived, only to see him again. Fortunately, my sensible side won out. I recognized that going into that area of the island would almost certainly result in my being a meal for the terrible monsters that lurked there."Maybe it is better for me to be fed those animals," I bitterly told m
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 47: Losing a Friend
-=Martina's Point of View=-I quickly broke free from Kian's embrace, and even though my heart was filled with fear, I bravely faced the owner of that voice.I felt like the world was nearing its end when I saw the shock and disbelief on her face while looking at me and Kian simultaneously, but aside from those emotions, the emotion that pained me the most was the hurt I could see in Annie's eyes.I know I hurt her, and there was no valid excuse for my wrongdoing, but even so, I wanted to say something, but I didn't know what.Before I could figure out what I wanted to say, she had already turned around and walked; actually, it seemed like she was running rather than walking.I looked at her and looked at Kian next; I didn't know what to do. Should I follow Annie or should I go with Kian?"Go."I didn't really hear what Kian said, but I could read his lips, and seeing that he wanted me to follow Annie, I finally made the decision to follow my best friend.I started running after Annie
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 48: She Left
-=Martina's Point of View=-The following morning, Annie didn't show up, which she usually does to help me prepare for breakfast, but I was expecting it already because of what happened last night."She already knew," I thought to myself as I recalled the hurt and betrayal I caused her.She admired and respected Zion, but above all this, I think the most painful factor was that I used her and lied to her, and just thinking about it already brought tears to my eyes.I kept convincing myself that I had no right to cry since I wasn't the victim, but I couldn't stop the tears from falling freely through my eyes.I didn't feel like leaving my room, but I knew that I had to do it. Zion would be worried if I acted this way, and the possibility that I might see Annie in the dining room forced me to get out of bed and prepare myself for the day. But when I got to the dining room, I didn't see Annie anywhere, making me think that she was probably avoiding me."I will talk to her again and ask f
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 49: My Grandmother Therese
-=Martina's Point of View=-"Are you planning on leaving after this?" I immediately looked at Zion after hearing his question."Yeah, I planned to leave after this, and hopefully I can talk to her and sort things out with her," I replied with a thin smile on my lips.He just muttered okay and returned to his food and red drink. Earlier, he tried to ask me what really happened between me and Annie, and once more, I told him that it was just a misunderstanding; it's not like I could tell him the real reason, right?Just like I said, I left after I was done with my food. I had already packed the things I would be bringing since Zion allowed me to stay at Annie's place for a couple of days, and I was hoping it would be enough for Annie to forgive me and convince her to go back to the castle with me.One of the maids helped me load my things in the car, and when I got inside, I saw that Zeke was already behind the wheel waiting for me to settle in."Shall we leave, mistress?" he asked cou
The Alpha's Reluctant Bride CHAPTER 50: Back in His Arms
-=Martina's Point of View=-"Is this some kind of joke for you?"I was startled when I heard her question as I continued looking at Annie."I'm here to ask for your forgiveness, Annie, and to fix our friendship," I said pleadingly."Am I the one who should really ask for forgiveness?" she asked.Her words immediately brought Zion to mind. She was right; if there was anyone who deserved my apology, it was him. I vowed to seek his forgiveness once I confessed my fault to him."And I am planning to ask for Zion's forgiveness, but for now, I know I hurt you and broke your trust, and I wanted to make it up to you," I said."Martina, you're changing my opinion of you even more."I was stunned when I heard her words, and I couldn't think of anything to reply to that, and before I could mutter a word, she continued talking."Do you expect that once you get here and talk to me, everything will be back to normal? Like nothing happened? Like a day away from you will somehow make me forget what y
