I looked back up at Jade and she was already crying… I moved closer to her and hugged her body tightly,I patted her back gently and relaxed her head in mine, “where is this child of ours that you had for another man?” I asked after thinking about it for a while and was not able to come up with a good answer.“He…he is dead, I couldn’t protect him.” She muttered to me, and tears began to pour even more than before.“Was the father aware?” I asked again, hoping she wouldn't get offended by my question, but all I heard was her sniffing in the tears.“He… I don’t know who he is, and you are the only one I am telling this to, even Marc didn't know about this before marrying me as his bride…. I cried for many nights and that’s why Marc thought I never loved him, not aware that I loved him too much as he was my savior and the only time I ever cried so bitterly was when I tried multiple times and still couldn’t give birth to any child for him…” jade said as the tears became more heavy, and I
I returned to my room while I remembered all she had just said to me and smiled. I needed to be careful but at the same time make sure I was a few steps ahead of her.I laid in my bed staring up at the ceiling as I wondered what I could do next to have my way and play Blair, I needed to do something she didn’t expect.I slowly drifted to sleep that Same morning as my head was only filled with how to catch Blair or at least on what the drink she fed us is made of.I woke up a few hours later, and it was already past lunch… I smiled in victory that none of the maids had to wake me up for lunch, and I couldn’t help but step out to at least know what was going on around me for the few hours I was asleep.I looked around the hallway and for some weird reason it was emptier than usual.From where I stood I could hear laughter voice like it was coming from the kitchen, but when I went into the kitchen there were just faint sounds and no one could be heard as loud as it was when I first enter
I slowly became tired of all the speech Marc gave in his drunk state and stood up about to leave when I suddenly felt someone pulling me back and when I turned it was Marc and that was enough to get all the wives attention and mostly Blair, I tried to pull away from him thinking it was just him being drunk and was acting up.“Marc, let go.” I said, but it sounded more like a plea tab, an actual conversation.“I can’t, you are all I have left, I can’t just let you leave. The others stay here pretending to love me. You are the only one to love me and care for me being myself and not because I was the alpha who had miraculously come to save you just like others.” Marc says in a drunk state, and I couldn’t help but to look up at the other’s. They all seemed sad at his words and I knew what he was saying was nothing but the truth and even Jade who was the only one to confide in never said she loved him for who he was, but instead it was because he had saved her when she needed someone t
Harlow's POVI couldn't help but imagine the demon Blair had turned herself into .How absurd! I slowly stared at everyone and could see a mixture of guilt displayed on their faces. Blair tried to hold up the deviant devilish look but it was clear she couldn't hold it up for long. I've already had enough of their stupidity and I was fed up with everything. I really do not care how Blair stared at me right now, but honestly, if looks could kill, I'd be dead."Whatever you do, don't you dare think this would be the end of everything... Just put a smile on your face while you still have the chance to do so!" Blair warned angrily." Gone are the days where I'd get scared of you Blair... You're nothing but a cloud and the moment you disappear, it becomes beautiful all day... " I retorted while she huffed." Blair, don't you think it's time for you to rest? Haven't you done enough already? " Jade asked politely." How dare you talk to me in such a manner?" Blair barked, ready to pounce on
Harlow's POVI got frightened at the sight before me. I didn't know Blair could go this far."What do you think you're doing? Don't tell me you're the mastermind of this?" I muttered in shock." Common one, I can be that stupid, no matter how I really want to deal with you, I can't go to this length." Blair replied with a sly smirk displayed on her face. I don't trust her, not even in this situation.I looked at Marc who was still resting in my arms and wondered what I was going to do with him."Why is there a sword in your hand?" I asked curiously, obviously not minding the innocent look on her face.I noticed that Marc was beginning to get himself which got me a little bit excited. I looked backwards only to realize that the rogues were still fighting to come in."What's going on? It's so noisy here." Marc said clearly showing that he has gotten himself a little bit. "We were attacked by rouges my Lord...." Blair said quickly, interrupting whatever I had to say."What do you mean
Harlow's POV"If she uses charms on me, why not invent your own charms so you can use them on me too?" Marc asked with a scrunched up look on his face while I suppressed the urge to burst into laughter."And why is your room looking scattered?" He asked again and there was a big frown displayed on his face.I became dumbfounded because I don't know what to tell him and cooking up a lie wouldn't solve the case so I decided to remain mute and act coy.I didn't want to say anything but the moment Blair made to talk, I was forced to say something."Rona, scattered my room claiming there is a charm in here." I replied with enthusiasm.Marc looked so dangerous, dreadful and scary now as he stared at Rona who was already quivering, with bloodlust."When will your madness stop!!! Do I have to slit your throat before you get to put yourself together? How stupid can you be?"Marc barked, I don't think I've ever seen him this angry before. "It's nothing, you know that right? I can just clean it
Harlow's POV"Why is the staff in your room? You stole it?" Blair asked in shock which was obviously pretense.Everyone began staring at me like I've suddenly grown horns which can never happen."What do you mean? Why would you even ask me such a question?" I interrogated angrily."What do you mean by that? The staff which belongs to one of the Alpha's that came for the Alpha's hurdle was found in your room... How is that not understandable? Or you want a break down?" Rona rudely retorted.Blair was the one who went directly to a particular spit and brought out the staff which clearly means one thing. Blair and Rona had this all planned up.Is this a pay back or something?"I'm sorry lady Harlow but it's clear that you're the thief here... The Staff for coronation was found in your room." A guard stated, I couldn't help but wonder the kind of issues that had landed on me right now." I'm not... I– I didn't steal it and you know that right?"I asked as I felt like crying... I'm stresse
Harlow's POV Everything seems so good now. The Alpha's hurdle was still on and bored me, so I decided to walk around for a while. I stood up and what I had in mind was going to meet with Marc wherever he was. I don't even care if he's with the other Alphas... I need my man.“Harlow?” Blair called me immediately, and she laid her eyes on me. If she talks like this and behaves like this, I don't think we'd ever have issues.“How can I help you?” I asked her with hands akimbo.“Nothing, don't act like anything is special about you, just want to have drinks with you.” She replied sarcastically, rolling her eyes at me.I scoffed and retorted back, I rolled my eyes at her too.I really do want to have a cold drink for real, but the thing is, I don't trust her after Mirable warned me earlier.I couldn't resist the offer, and I've heard countless times when the maids were gossiping, saying that Blair made delicious drinks which I haven't even savored before , which made me really want to.“St
