MATILDA'S POVI swallowed hard as I watched Grandmother and Sara talking so happily like they had known each other for a long time, and it seemed like Grandmother was fond of Sara. I wondered about the kind of relationship they had and if grandmother approved of her relationship with alpha Moses."It feels good that I got to see you again, how was your visit to the human city?" Grandmother asked, brushing her hair with her fingers."Oh! It was fine and adventurous, to get to meet a lot of humans." She had a sweet smile on her face as she spoke to her grandmother.I was surprised to see how she sounded so innocent and sweet in front of grandmother when she was the exact opposite, I squeezed my face wishing that grandmother would see past her pretense and know that she was not who she was pretending to be."Really! So did you learn anything about them in the course of your stay there? Are they sneaky? Tell me about them, my dear."Sara turned to look at me and smirked before she turned

MATILDA'S POVI woke up early the next morning even before the maid got to my room. I was delighted when I noticed that I could toss and turn on the bed, unlike the one I had been used to in the slave's quarters where I would wake up with body pains sometimes as a result of sleeping one-sided.The bed was big enough for more than two people unlike the one in the slave's quarters which was barely even enough for one person. Eva was sleeping peacefully by my side, but she woke up shortly after."You are already awake?" She asked, rubbing her eyes. "It's still quite early." She said as she stood up from the bed and walked toward the window."Yes." I went to stand close to her in the window, it was barely dawn.We were already used to waking up early as a result of working as slaves. And we found it difficult to go back to sleep even though there was nothing to do that morning."So much time and nothing to do huh!" I said to Eva and we both laughed "We should go to the cave to train then

MOSES'S POVJust like the other day, I asked the servants to send for Matilda and her friend to come to the dining since I love the reaction I got from her when she saw Sara and me eating together the other day, I want her to feel bad again, so she would realize that I want nothing from her.I could not wait for her to be humiliated and heartbroken like she had been the other day. I immediately put my arms around Sara when I saw her approaching with her friend, at least, she would know that she meant absolutely nothing to me.But I was disappointed when she did not pay any attention to me, she did not even look towards my direction let alone even care about what I was doing with Sara. Instead, she just walked straight to the table and focused on her food, and from the look on her face, it seemed something was bothering her.Was it because of a man? And the thought of that pissed me off.Her face was focused on the meal she was eating, turning in her friend's direction once in a while

MATILDA'S POV"I will just take this to the kitchen later," I said, packing up the plates.Grandmother and I had just finished eating together in the pack's hospital.For the past few days, it was either in my room or with grandmother at the hospital. I had been trying all I could to avoid Alpha Moses as much as possible, and it had been working, so far for the past few days, I had not come in contact with him after our last encounter.I also made sure I ate with grandmother in the hospital to avoid eating with him in the dining hall. And grandmother was always happy to have me eat together with her."Your presence here is making me recover even faster." She said, smiling up at me."And that is what I want, grandmother," I replied to her happily. Even though I had tried my best to make sure I didn't come in contact with Alpha Moses, it was very difficult for me to get him out of my mind, no matter how I tried. Many times I had berated myself for thinking too much about him, but I co

MATILDA'S POVEva hugged her knees to get her chest and her head rested on it, her body shook as she sobbed, and I started to get worried when she was not answering any of my questions, and I swallowed constantly, with my palms were clammy."Eva, please talk to me, what exactly went wrong with you? Why are you like this?" I asked.But I got more worried when she kept crying and hyperventilating."Eva, please stop this right now and talk to me, what happened to you? Did Louis do this to you? Did he hurt you? Is that why you are crying?" I asked so many questions at the same time, getting ready to defend my friend at all costs.But she shook her head immediately to indicate that he did not hurt her."Then why?" I was running out of patience immediately, in fact, I was even getting more scared with each passing second. Her silence scared me even more, and it was killing me until she finally spoke up."He is coming here." She said with a shaky voice."Who's coming here?' I asked with a wi
