YVONNE —The next morning, I woke up feeling very weak. Yesterday was so stressful that I could not even wake up as early as usual today.I quickly stood up from the bed as I heard the voice of the kids playing on the balcony."Amanda!" I yelled."Oh, Yvonne, you're awake," she responded, coming out of the kitchen. "It was not easy preventing the kids from waking you up," she remarked."Really? They must have been worried to the extent they gave up," I responded, peeping through the window to see them. "You should have woken me up, though, because I have an agreement with the Alpha today; he might be thinking I intentionally turned him down," I said."Oh, I'm sorry. I did not know that. I thought you must have been stressed out yesterday. That's why I didn't want to bother waking you up," she responded."It's fine. I'll explain to him when I reach the palace; he must have sent the message or called some hours ago," I uttered."Alright, he should bear any circumstance because he caused
YVONNE —"Huh, why? What happened? Why the sudden decision?" I stuttered, but he had already hung up the call.I stood on the road, startled, as I was baffled by the sudden development. How could Conan abruptly change his mind over an agreement we both had just yesterday?"So he expects me to walk back? And the worst of it all is that no explanation was made," I signed, confused about the whole thing."Well, I'll visit the Alpha palace and also Melchizedek, so I can save his poor daughter from the plague. There's no way I'm going back home to waste the day because I really wish to leave this place so soon," I concluded, and I proceeded to board a cab.A few moments later, a cab pulled up, and I quickly waved at it to halt."Alpha Conan's palace," I told the driver."Alright, your bill is fifty dollars," he responded.I quickly pulled the passenger's door open and entered without responding to him."Ma'am, I hope you heard me correctly. The fee to your destination is fifty dollars," he
CONAN —Although I did not welcome this idea, I had to give in as Mom was persistent about having Yvonne at the dinner party. I was still curious about what could warrant her having an interest in this idea—the idea of hosting the entire household of the Adolph family, both the ex and the present ones. This also means that Sophia will be here."Are you fine? You look worried. Or has the plague started its symptoms?" she asked as we were walking, heading to the building.I sighed heavily. "No, I'm fine. I was just memorizing something," I lied."Alright then, so who would escort me to Melchizedek's house?" I questioned him."Spid can do that perfectly," I responded instantly."You always assign me your male servants; what happened to your female servants? The omegas and gammas? They should be the ones to escort me instead," she argued."No, doctor Yvonne, I am not assigning you male servants because I don't want the female ones to serve you, but being with male servants, they can litera
YVONNE —After I was done checking Conan's health status and giving him some additional pills for a faster recovery, I left for my apartment. "See you then," Conan remarked, waving at me, and I faintly waved back at him. Upon reaching the exit gate, the security man greeted me wholeheartedly."Goodbye, ma'am," he remarked, waving at me as I was about to exit the compound. "Goodbye too, although I'll still visit tonight, so I'm still on," I responded, searching through my purse. "Use this for your lunch," I remarked, tipping him some bucks in his hand."God bless you so much, ma. I really appreciate this," he responded, jubilating as if he had just won a gamble.Fortunately, a cab pulled up before me as I was just coming out of the palace, and I quickly waved at it for the driver to halt."No. 5 Nicholas Street," I told the cab driver and entered, then he turned on the car engine, and we drove off.Inside the cab, I was fretting because it had been a long time since I left the house
YVONNE –I woke up to the sound of the doorbell."Who's there?" I asked, standing up from the bed to check."The Alpha's gamma, ma'am," a female voice sounded."Oh, really?" I was surprised. "To what do I owe this sudden visit?" I asked as I opened the door to confirm."You owe us nothing, ma'am," she remarked, assuaging my curiosity a bit."So what's up with this visit?" I asked."Um, ma'am, I was actually sent to deliver this dress to you," she responded, bringing out an outfit from the sack bag she came with."Really? Who sent you that, and what use was the outfit?" I was kind of irritated."Alpha Conan sent me, ma, and according to him, the dress is for a dinner party; you should wear it to the dinner party," she responded."Dinner party?" I asked, and she instantly nodded."Oh, mommy is finally going to a hot dinner party," Amelia remarked, her countenance written with happiness."It's called a date, not a dinner party. Mommy is going on a date," Liam corrected her."Mommy, I'm h
YVONNE –"Come on, Yvonne, you know I'm not so good at guessing; please spill the facts and don't get me hanging," Amanda replied."He requested I join in their dinner party," I responded, and Amanda's gaze suddenly changed."Dinner party?" she asked, her face frowning."Yeah, he does," I replied, smiling slightly."And what was your response to the request?" she added, adjusting her position."Well, I hesitated at first, but he persisted, saying it was his mother's wish, so I accepted," I answered."Mother's wish? Was it not the same parents who made the pack a living hell for you, then? And you think it was a genuine wish?" Amanda was skeptical about that."Um, Amanda, she was not part of the problem. It was Adolph, her husband, my father-in-law, but he is gone now," I replied."I'm not pleased with this, but you should be cautious about the event if you insist on going. You can't tell what their motive is," she declared."Absolutely, I'm always on guard," I replied."Good, it's almo
CONAN —I sat on my end, anxiously anticipating the arrival of someone—one who had been causing me a sleepless night. Of course, she was none other than Yvonne.Other guests, like a few of the pack's elders, were already present, waiting for the opening of the event. It was just five minutes away for the event to start, and she was not yet here.Just then, the door to the garden hall was opened, and everywhere became silent. I concluded she had arrived; however, my expectations turned sore when I saw Sophia entering with two men escorting her."Shit. I forgot this vile demon was invited too. I don't even know what mom was up to with this dinner party to host both the sane and the insane in it," I mumbled inwardly, throwing my gaze away from her.A few minutes later, I saw Kesh, one of the guards, leading a lady inside the event. She was screaming in opulence with the dinner dress she wore. My heart immediately melted, and a smile crept onto my lips."She is here!" a monologue echoed i
YVONNE —"Well, this is more of a family conflict than a dinner party, as you said earlier, so I'm not involving myself in this," one of the elders said, standing up to leave. "Neither do I want to be part of it either," the other one followed.As soon as they exited the hall, a smile crept onto Conan's mother's lips, and she threw her hand into the air. "Great, it went all well as planned," she remarked, throwing Conan a frown before leaving, leaving me and Conan alone in the hall in utmost silence.I sighed in confusion and dropped my fork against the plate, as the incident that just happened made me lose my appetite for the food in front of me, even though I had not eaten before coming here.Conan was traumatized as well. He stared at me continuously with a pitiful gaze.After a few seconds of silence between us, he finally broke the cold silence that filled the room."I'm really sorry for this; it's really an embarrassment no one deserves to be in," he stated."I knew it; you pla
