“Every suite in the detached palaces should scream opulent. Do I make myself clear?”His voice dripped utterly with seriousness, and satisfyingly enough, the numerous servants, standing beside one another courtesied in understanding. “Yes, Beta Andrew!”Thereafter, they all dispersed into varying directions, leaving the Alpha King's Beta, Andrew, to refocus on the notepad in his possession. The Nation Summit was drawing closer with each passing second — it was an inevitable event. Alpha King Shawn always tasked his trusted Beta to take care of its arrangement. Such a prominent event was wholly controlled by him, so yes, not even the heart racing, unwanted saga the fortunately deceased Alpha Sebastian caused would disrupt his determination in creating another grand Nation Summit. “We have less than a week? Shit” Andrew parted his eyelashes, which he shut momentarily as a hand went to his hair, disheveling it in frustration. So much time has been taken from him, and it was solely m
73The rowdiness of the Scarlet Heart Palace without an Alpha, unlike any other day, wasn't caused by the servants haste to fulfil an appalling order by Sebastian. Almost every individual was as busy as a worker bee, and ostensibly dishearteningly enough, they were occupied wholly by a wrong reason; they were tidying the bloodied Palace. The brawl between the deceased, and surely won't be missed Alpha Sebastian, and the Alpha King, Shawn was indeed in a bloody one. A significant number of the guards were injured, but none sustained fatal injury. It was truly impressive how the Alpha King controlled his rage while fighting the guards — most would've wasted their lives since they were nothing more but servants. Shawn wasn't that callous — Sebastian was his main target. “Won't you at least wait until the Alpha's funeral's concluded?” Logan, a being once heavily trusted by the dead Alpha, uttered questioningly to the Pack's Delta. Night had befell every part of the Nation, and the w
74It was dawn of the next morning yet none experienced of sleep. As the soft sounds of several vechiles' tyres passed through on the tarred road, and the unceasing balls of rain poured, a shabby cabin, camouflaged so perfectly by shrubs wasn't spared a glance. Rita loved it. The cabin housed two things - two rocky, aged and ass stinging chairs. Numerous webs designed expertly by spiders, and dust served as decorations. There was no furniture, and the kitchen, untouched for heaven's know when wasn't approached. Lethal reptails might be residing there so Derek and Rita spent the reminders of last night, and the early hours of the day staring at each other. Well, the she-wolf focused on the little hand mirror in her possession throughout a greater part of the hours shared. She doesn't want to speak to Derek.. yet. And the runaway gynecologist had zero interests in talking with Rita - she was sick. Her instructions which Sebastian stupidly complied to nearly led to Michelle's death
75The soft repeated pelting of raindrops on the rooftop provided such a serene atmosphere — Michelle was so reluctant to awaken. Here in the Alpha King's chamber, and on his freakishly large bed, she laid, sleeping soundly. There was a slight redness of her eyes, but compared to last night, this was nothing. Then, her eyes were overly puffy and reddened — it wasn't unexpected since she cried bitterly for so many hours. Still, it felt… Nice. Mira's death was unforgettable — she was more than a friend, and a sister combined. The fact that she left this Earth due to murder was overly heartbreaking. Yet… It had happened, and regardless of how heart shattering it was, Michelle had to move on. There certainly was more to life, but her murderer would… No, must be brought to justice. “Shawn…” A sleepy mutter erupted from her lips as her hand unconsciously roamed on the bed. Her mate's side was verily cold, and that prompted her into waking up. Michelle's widened eyes quickly raked th
Michelle's POV_Today I finally graduated from the university and to say I was happy was an understatement, I was filled with so much joy at the achievement that no amount of words could express it.I and my boyfriend Shawn decided to hold a little party to celebrate my graduation. I had only invited a few of my close friends since I wanted to keep things on the low. One thing no one was expecting was that this night will also be the night my best friend will be proposed to.Everyone was busy dancing and partying when the music suddenly stopped and that was when the surprise came in. Tommy went down on one knee and proposed to Mirabel right in front of everyone.Mirabel's dropped in shock as she wasn't expecting this and due to how long she was taking to answer, everyone began to panic until she finally said *Yes!*The whole crowd cheered them on and even I couldn't hide my excitement, but behind that excitement, I was also filled with envy and I suddenly wished that I also was gettin
Michelle's POV_"If you're seeking those kinds of things with me Michelle, then I'm afraid it's never going to happen." He said with a straight face."But we...." I trailed as I got overwhelmed by my emotions. "But you're my mate." I said softly. "Shouldn't mates be together forever? Aren't we supposed to be committed to each other?"Shawn ruffled his hair. "I already told you this Michelle, there's no such thing as commitment or a long lasting relationship, I'm not really into this soulmate thing. Just because we're mates doesn't guarantee a future filled with bliss forever, it doesn't guarantee that something won't go wrong along the line and cause us to separate, feelings can change Michelle, so you better wake up and face the reality of things.""I refuse to be tied down with marriage as an excuse, in fact I think it's best we end things here, I can't give you all that you've asked, it's best we both end things and go our separate ways."The moment he said those words, my blood bo
Michelle's POV_It's been a month since I and Shawn broke up, luckily for me, I managed to secure a job at a restaurant where I now work as a waitress and although I tried to be strong on the outside, deep inside I was slowly losing myself.No matter how hard I tried to get over Shawn, it just seems so impossible to do so, I just can't get over the fact that everything is truly over between us and the way he ended things kept on taunting me.I really tried so hard to be strong for myself but it was really breaking me.My head suddenly started spinning and my vision got blurry, I tried to maintain my balance, but I couldn't.I collapsed to the floor and the last I heard before blacking out was the loud screams of my boss.I had no idea what took place after that, but when I woke up, I found myself in a hospital.I tried getting up but someone suddenly held me back and asked me to relax."Hey, not so fast, you need to relax."I turned to see a middle aged woman wearing a white coat and
Michelle's POV_I had called Mirabel and she hurriedly returned home. When she arrived, she met me curled up in a ball on the floor."Michelle!" She panicked as she rushed to my side, then she helped me up. "What's wrong Michelle? What happened?" She asked, the worry was written all over her face."What do I do Mira? It's all over for me now, I have no idea what to do anymore." I cried out."What are you talking about? Did something happen?" She asked and I nodded."I'm pregnant Mira, I'm one month pregnant.""What!!?" She half yelled as she stumbled backwards in shock and then she fell on her butt. "You're kidding right? Tell me it's not true."I slowly gave her the report, she took it for me and opened it, when she saw the reports for herself, she gasped.I looked at her and this time, the tears began falling uncontrollably. "What am I going to do Mira, my relationship with Shawn already ended, I haven't even heard from him in a month and now I just found out that I'm carrying his c
