CHAPTER FOURTY TWOLISAMy right hand began to shiver as I grabbed the oxygen mask. I shut my eyes tightly and took in a deep breath. Just as I was about to take off the mask, the door opened. I quickly took my hands off the mask and turned around with a smile. A nurse walked into the room. I clapsed my hands behind my back and took a few steps from the bed. The nurse stared at me as though she was suspicious of me. She took in a deep breath after staring at me for a while. "You are here with the patient, " she said to me. "I can see that."I nodded, and she went ahead to check on Elara. I watched her for a while as she lifted Elara's hand up first. My fist was folded in a blow and I was breathing fast. I thought of strangling the nurse for a second. All fingers would point at me, else I would have ended her life together with Elara's. What was the point in staying here? The nurse had ruined everything for me. I hissed inwardly and walked away from the room, folding my fist into

CHAPTER FORTY FOURRIVER My whole system went sour immediately when I heard the news of the rogue attack. First, it was Elara, now the rogue attack. What have I done to deserve all these pains? I was weak. How was I going to fight and win? I jerked up from my seat and felt a strange energy hit me. I was enraged with anger. I folded my fist into a blow, and the veins in my neck began to throb. I walked out of the hospital with Harrison. He drove me to the borders where the rogues were trying to attack and steal goods from us.Harrison and I climbed down from the car. I saw the soldiers already fighting and trying to keep the rogues out. Blood splashed all over the place. I could hear the clanging of swords, groans, and cries. I walked into the battlefield. I became more enraged when I saw my soldiers lying dead on the floor. A few of my soldiers were already dead, including some rogues. Two of the rogues attacked me at the same time. I spread both arms and grew my claws. Immedia

CHAPTER FORTY SIXELARA The hug was so tight that I winced out in pain. River quickly pulled away from me. He was hurting me by hugging me so tightly, and it was hurting me. "Are you okay?" He asked after pulling away from the hug. "I am very well," I replied with a nod of the head. River smiled and took my hand. He squeezed my finger gently. Carla was staring at us with a smile on her face. River's face was beaming as well. He looked lean and toned. He also looked tattered. He hadn't had a haircut for a while, and his beards were also tattered. The dark circles around his eyes had grown even darker. "What happened to you?" I asked him. He looked sick. "He has been worried about you and has refused to eat anything since. He doesn't even stay at home. Always frequenting the hospital. If not that Harrison had to force him to attend the meeting today. "I stared at him with an angry look."Why are you doing this to yourself?" I asked him. He looked away from me and faced Carla.

CHAPTER FORTY EIGHTELARARiver helped me sit on the bed while he returned to close the door. He returned and dragged the small stool into the room. He placed it opposite me and sat on it. River was staring at me while I buried my jaw in my palm."You are finally back home," he said, with a smile, while he was still staring at me. I only smiled at him. I was deep in thought. I was still contemplating on the thought that Lisa had something to do with the accidents. It was highly possible that she was responsible. But then, it was also not possible. If she happened to be the one, then I wouldn't sit back and watch. I knew that since Lisa had failed twice, she may decide to slow her pace. Maybe, take a break, and she may get even more mad, frustrated, and desperate to try again. I knew that I needed to show Lisa who the real boss was. She would learn the hard way, those she was supposed to mess with, and those she wasn't supposed to even get close to.I mistakenly looked towards Rive

CHAPTER FIFTY EDWINI sat in the dining with Constance seated at the other end and facing me. We were both devouring our breakfast quietly when Clinton walked into the dining room."Good morning, alpha Edwin, " he bowed in front of me. I lifted my head from my breakfast to glare at him. What was so important was that he wanted to tell me that it couldn't wait until after breakfast. I waited eagerly to hear what he had to say to me. "What do you want?" I demanded in a harsh tone. "There is a letter for you from the red breeder pack," he said and handed a brown envelope to me. I wouldn't take the letter, nor even try to open it during breakfast if it was from someone else. But since I heard red breeder pack, then it must be from River. A smirk appeared on my face, as I took the letter from Clinton's hand. He was lucky that his coming to interrupt my breakfast was worth it. I opened the letter and read it. I scoffed after reading and handed the letter back to Clinton. He read thro
