ARABELLA POVI followed him outside. Instead of taking his car, I took mine instead. It was bad enough that Mia saw us in there, but although Rhys said she wasn't the one but I can't seem to believe that.I don’t want anyone else seeing me in his car with him. They would automatically sense that something was up with us. Rhys just cannot stay his hand whenever he’s with me. As I drove my car out of the premises and followed behind him, my mind strayed to Mia. I know she was the one that caught us. She has to be. It was her exact size and the color of her fur. It was too dark to check for the black spot but I’m not sure I need it. No wolf would snarl at me and stare for no reason. She saw us, and no matter how much Rhys wanted to pretend that he didn’t immediately want to investigate the matter, I knew better.It was her and I needed to come up with a plan.Mia was very vindictive. She was unpredictable, uncontrollable. Any sensible person would see her husband in an intimate position

ARABELLA POVI sat down with Lily in the diner, my head pounding. I wonder what Rhys was doing now if he had met Mia and what she said to him. Did she confront him, yell profanities at him of all sorts? I’m kind of surprised she hasn’t even attacked me yet. I’m positive that she’s the one who saw us, but if she hasn’t reacted yet, then does it mean that I’m wrong and it wasn’t her?“Thank you, Arabella,” Lily said. “I don’t know what I would have done without you, really. You saved me.”I rolled my eyes as I turned to look at her. Lily thanked me so much that it was becoming embarrassing.“Stop. I told you, you don’t have to call me Arabella for now and can you just stop thanking me? It’s seriously embarrassing.”Lily sighed. She reached for her mug of warm chocolate and drank it slowly, savoring its taste. The diner was thankfully empty, which meant people didn’t have to stare at her as they walked past. At least she was safe from the stigma…for now.“You know I can never stop thanki

MIA POV I stabbed my cutlery knife into my pork. Rhys sat opposite me, steadily enjoying his lunch of pork and potatoes. Rhys specifically asked for this food and had the maid make it extra cheesy. This was his go-to food whenever he was in a good mood. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that he was in a good mood; it’s been two days since I last caught him with Emma. This being the second day, I’m sure he was just reliving it like it was today. Sure, he hadn’t gone out since then, but who knows what they would be discussing in private. I stabbed my meat over and over again. If this was Emma’s face, I’d happily stab into it until the little holes I created on her face started to bleed profusely. I relaxed my face and posture. I need to remain calm and collected because if I wasn’t I’d burst out in anger and all schemes would go to waste. Rhys didn’t need to know that anything was wrong with me, or that I’d discovered his big secrets. I relaxed my hold on my knife and raised the meat to

ARABELLA POV I looked around my house, surprised at my new visitors. No, scratch that, I was nothing near surprised. I was actually kind of infuriated that they were in here, with my children. Delinda and Declan stood up from where they sat on the floor, but they remained there upon seeing my dark mood. “Do you always do this, walk into someone’s home unannounced?” I asked with gritted teeth. Craig started to speak but Rhys stepped forward instead, subtly shutting him up. With their body language and the way Craig immediately understood and laid back, I knew something was up that they weren’t telling me. What were they doing here? Had they found out and were trying to do something to me? “We were just passing by and I wanted to see you,” Rhys lied smoothly. “I wanted to make sure you know that tomorrow is the day for the opening.” “The opening?” I asked, distracted. “Yes. You know, the whole drugs thing that we need to introduce to the public? It is tomorrow, isn’t it?” “Yes,”

Everything around me was happening so fast. I felt stuck in a particular place, watching the scene unfold before me. There’s no way the woman would have morphed into a wolf, I made sure of that. I ran series of tests, I swear, and now no one’s going to really believe me. I’m sure they think I’m some silly doctor who’s come to the pack to finish them off, disregarding the previous help that I had rendered them on the past. However, I could not read anyone thoughts so I don’t know what they’re thinking. I only heard loud noises and expressions around me, everyone looking shocked and scared and uncertain of what to do.“She’s going to kill that child!” Someone screamed.The scream pierced into my mind. I looked to the direction of the little girl who was standing in the way of the wolf, only to see that Rhys jumped just at the right minute and tackled the wolf to the floor. I gasped, then straightened because I had somehow found myself on the floor.“Rhys!” I heard Mia scream in the ba
