Millicent's POV'What if I claim you now before you go on exile, what would you do?' Alpha Sylvester's words rang in my ears like loud sounding gongs. My eyes widened in fear. I do not want that - I do not want that at all. Dear moon goddess, do not allow him do this, I prayed silently, my mind in disarray, my thoughts jumbled with dread.Alpha Sylvester pushed himself closer to me and plastered me more firmly to the wall. I could feel his arousal pressing against my v- region.'Since you are on heat, and you are mine anyways, I could oblige you, as a send off souvenir from me to you', he said. 'And a birthday gift, all in one. It is your birthday afterall. What better gift to give you but a pleasurable one?'My heart started thumping, not from desire but from increased fear. I was hyperventilating. I was screaming, 'No!' in my head. I felt nauseated and wanted to push him away but I knew that my push would do nothing against his superior strength and it might just antagonize him fur

Millicent's POV I walked out of Alpha Sylvester's room in anger and humiliation. I was angry with myself for the things I had felt when Sylvester was mating Cathania and humiliated that I had been made not only to watch, but to clean up the mess they made. I have never felt more like a maid than I felt right now. But that is what you are, - a maid, at least till your fortune changes, I thought to myself. I walked to the Omega's quarters and pulled off the beautiful dress Samantha had lent me for the party and folding it, kept it back on Samantha's box, then pulled an old dress of mine over my head, which I felt was good enough for travelling and carrying my little bag, walked away. I ran, trying to put as much distance as I possibly can between me and Alpha Sylvester and of course the Moon Ville pack. The experiences I had there were not ones I wanted to think about right now, though, I knew it would remain with me. It was not really a bad thing that it would because though it woul

Millicent had just come back from training with Raph and was busy with the baby, while Hugh, kept asking her questions about her pack when Mildred who had been cooking came out.'You have really made a great impression on my nephew', she said. This was coming about three months after Millicent came to live with them. They had established a routine where Raph trained her in the evenings when he got back from work or in the morning after their run and there was still time before he went off to work. He was in the employ of Alpha Blake. He worked as one of the security officers. Little wonder then that he had been the first to sight her when she came into their territory.'Your nephew?', Millicent mouthed, eyes agog. 'But I thought that he was...''My son?' Mildred finished for her. 'Yes, I see him as my son but he is actually the son of my late sister. I took him on when he was very young and has grown to see me as the mother he lost'.Millicent nodded, she could identify with that.'So

Millicent's POV 'Do you love me?' Raph asked, and I could see how nervous he was. 'I want you to be my chosen mate!'I had wanted to stop him asking me the question that led to that declaration but what could I have done short of pinning his lips?'Why are you so quiet?' he asked. 'I know this may have been sudden but it can't have been that much of a surprise if you are aware of my feelings for you'.'Raph', I said looking at him earnestly, hoping he would understand. 'I have indeed suspected that you might have special feelings for me, but I have prayed that I was wrong about that because I do not deserve you'.'Oh, Millicent, how can you even think that?' he asked.'I am a nobody. An orphan and I have nothing. What good could I possibly bring you or even be to you?' I asked, hoping to help him see reason why he should not have feelings for me.'I do not need anything from you but your love', he said looking deeply into my eyes, his heart in his own.'Exactly!' I blurted. 'I do not

Sylvester's POVA smug smile played across my face. I had not doubted that I could get Millicent to come back to me. When I was told that she was important for my continued rein as Alpha, I had to come up with a way to get her back and win her heart till I achieved my aim.'There have been some misfortunes of which you are aware of', the chief had said. 'We took it upon ourselves to consult a seer and she said, the misfortune is because the person whom the moon goddess has chosen to be the Luna of this pack has been exiled. Do you know who that person might be?' he asked, looking at Sylvester critically.Sylvester did not have to think but pretended to because he could not believe that the brat was still haunting him even in absentia.'It might be the maid, Millicent. The pack maid who I exiled for being rude', he answered non - challantly.'We have reason to believe she is your fated mate and that is why she must come back to rule by your side or you stand the risk of losing your tit
