“I-it's ...” My mouth suddenly stuttered. How can I get out of this situation without making Hilbert suspicious of me!?'Besides, why did David need to show up at all in this situation!? He knows I'm trying to find an opening to escape, but he's just messing everything up!?' I silently cursed at the Alpha whose smile was so annoying.David's acting, which is usually so cheap, now flows so professionally. As if nothing had happened, as if he hadn't met me before, he greeted me kindly in between his conversation with Hilbert.“I see you're recovering quickly,” he said, commenting on my condition that he should already know. “You're great, Lizzbeth, managing to fight alone, I'm nothing compared to you.”“Haha.” My laughter was in the air so tastelessly. Would it be wrong if I slapped him now? His words just now were clearly a form of mockery for me, who dared to make a daring escape on the first day of my return.“You're really good too, David. Who would have thought? The Alpha who came
The look in her eyes was so suspicious. She had a hard time keeping her eyes on me, who was waiting for her answer. I couldn't help the annoyed expression on my face, in front of me, Amelia's gesture was like someone who was telling a lie.“The nurse told me that Crystal was crying like she was in pain. I couldn't think any longer, and immediately ran to find you. Trust me, Lizzbeth. I'm not lying!”Her hand reached out to me to make me believe her. I felt the trembling of his body, which was not made up. But, what is this uncomfortable feeling?No matter how I look at it, Amelia seems to be fighting hard to bring me here no matter what. Strange. What exactly did she want?“Can I have a moment? I'm going to feed Crystal,” I said, giving her a gesture to leave us alone in this room.“Ah, of course.” She realized quickly and immediately turned around.What I didn't know was that Amelia had locked the nursery door without my request. And she locked it from the outside. Hey, isn't that th
'Oh my! It must be Hilbert! Too late! It's too late!' My heart was about to give up. The thought of my separation from my baby was happening before my eyes. Really, I wasn't ready.If possible, I'd rather Hilbert shot me dead, and dumped me. Then I wouldn't have to bother with such a painful separation. My heart has already harbored many wounds.I could no longer hold it in.“Come on, how long are you going to stand here? My hand is starting to ache from stretching out to you.”My eyes, which had been closed in fear, were now opened wide by someone's protesting voice.“What ... What are you doing here!?” I screamed at the person. His face turned increasingly annoyed, as I ignored his outstretched hand.“I'll explain later,” he snapped. “Now, can you hold my hand for a moment? My carriage has been waiting downstairs for so long. Unless you want to be caught red-handed by your Mate, you should leave here now.”The Alpha did not speak empty words. Just as he spoke, my ears heard the soun
“It's amazing. Although he received a slight bump, but surprisingly there is not a single wound on his body. Your son is truly amazing, ma'am!” The doctor praised my son's resilience beyond belief.We looked at him, who was sleeping sweetly like nothing had happened, and could only gape in bewilderment. Beside me, David was busy having a good laugh about it. He thought it was useless to worry about a baby born to the strongest Alpha colony in the land.“If Hilbert saw this, he'd be proud as hell,” the Alpha said with a laugh. His hands grabbed my baby's tiny body and carried it in his arms.“This tiny, already able to withstand the harshness of reality,” he said again, still not satisfied with teasing my baby. “Hey, do you want to be a king like your father? Ah, of course. You are his last descendant. It's only natural that you'll take the throne.”“David, shut up,” I snapped distastefully. “I will not let him become king. Especially, for my pack. I want my son to have a normal life.
Even saying that the speeding horse-drawn carriage made my panic even worse. All I could do at the moment was hug my son tightly while continuing to say a prayer in my heart.'God, please don't separate my son from me. He still needs me!’ I rapped endlessly.“David, where are we going?” I asked the Alpha sitting next to me, whose eyes were busy checking the situation.“To my house,” he replied shortly.“To your house?” I asked, not understanding. “Where? Is it far away?”“Sure. It looks like we'll have to take the rat road. If we go through the city, I'm afraid the citizens will see us and that will favor Hilbert. Are you okay with us going through the forest?” he asked seriously.I could only agree to whatever David did, even though my head couldn't think of anything else to suggest right now.Fear had enveloped me, to the point of wanting to vomit. I didn't want to think about this, it was just that the worst-case scenario kept entering my head, and it was overwhelming!“David,” I c
“Tsk. What a hassle.” David looked angry with my decision. How stupid of me, to have lost his trust and let him down.The rest of our journey continued not so pleasantly. In the center seat of the carriage, only my baby and I were silent. David, however, decided to move and sit in the front seat, with his subordinate at the wheel.The reason was that he wanted to be more vigilant on this last leg of our journey. Even though I knew he wanted to avoid me.Our fight was my fault, and it made me feel even more lonely. I could only hold my baby who was sleeping peacefully. His breathing could be heard purring in my arms, which for some reason made me jealous.'If only I was as innocent as the baby, maybe I wouldn't have to feel this much pressure and guilt.'______[A few days later][Private residence, David's house][6:00 AM]It was a beam of light that pierced my vision, overriding the alarms in my brain that I set to warn of danger.“Ugh.” My voice sounded hoarse and tired, despite hav
[Hilbert's POV][One day before Lizzbeth left with David]___________“What? What are you saying, Mom? There's no way Lizzbeth intends to run away from me!”I still couldn't believe that my mouth dared to yell at the woman who had raised me so well. More than that, I was even more incredulous because my mother was accusing my mate of bad things.But that old face didn't seem to be playing with her mind. Both her hands clasped me together in a cold sweat. The anger in me was distracted feeling the tremor in her body that was so alarming.I couldn't help but glance at the baby room in front of me. Where Lizzbeth and our baby were. If I couldn't convince myself, then I just needed to make Lizzbeth clarify everything.“Wait, my son! Don't!” My mother's hand prevented me as I was about to open the door to the baby's room.“You can't go there, my son. Lizzbeth doesn't know anything about this yet,” she said with great fear. “If you want to prevent her from running away, we have to do it qui
'Damn it. I knew it. David is involved in all this!' I can't believe I ever trusted him or even defended him.’No wonder Lizzbeth was nowhere to be found. Because, down there, David was helping her escape from this hospital!“Damn it!” I growled. “David is insolent. How dare he mess with me!”This is war. Do I just attack him now? Ah, no. I forgot. He and my mother have already gained control of the Alpha Katthias pack. If I attack her, it's the same as making the pack members think I've betrayed my own decision.If I could still reach the floor height of this hospital, I would have jumped down and chased after them long ago. Forced, I made my head go cold and moved to find my servant.“Hilbert, what's wrong?” My mother greeted me after seeing my angry face. “What's going on? Where's Lizzbeth?”“Mother. Forget about Lizzbeth. We're going after David now,” I growled, not stopping my fast pace. “He's the one who helped Lizzbeth escape. If we go after him now, we can get Lizzbeth back.”
