Rejected, Now Wanted Forty-Five
~ Nathan's pov I racked my brain to come up with a reasonable excuse, one that would not blow my cover, but at the same time, would not require me to give the boy up and expose him. However, as hard as I tried to come up with one, my brain chose to fail me at that moment. I did not expect Damien and some of the soldiers to have seen where I had been hiding with Albert. I turned back to look at Albert who was hiding behind me and I could see that he was scared, his body was trembling and his eyes were pleading for me to save him."Are you deaf?" Damien yelled at me again when I stayed silent as though I was indeed deaf.I returned my gaze to Damien and just as I was about to get down on my knees to apologize and plead for mercy, as I couldn't come up with any excuse, Albert came forward. He confidently greeted Damien with a bow and introduced himself, wisely leaving out his last name. Damien, who was still in an angry mood, gave the boy a condescending look.I subtly inched forward.

~ Nathan’s POV“Damien killed your father?” I asked to be sure of what I just heard.“Father locked us in a room to protect us from Damien when he heard of his arrival at the entrance of our pack,” Albert said.“I peeped through and witnessed how he had killed my father angrily,” he added.I was silent as I didn’t know what else to say to the boy. He only stared at me, probably waiting for me to say something but I was short of words.“You will save my sister from him, right?” He asked me.“Sure, I will do all my possible best to save her,” I said to him.He smiled at me and we finally got to understand what was going on around us, the fight had already stopped. Several houses were burned down and corpses were lying all around. I watched as the captives, crying for help, were being transported to Damien’s pack. Damien also returned back to the pack with the captives and some of the soldiers, leaving few soldiers behind to clean up after him.“I will make sure Damien dies at my hand som

~ Nathan’s POVEverything slowed down and my heart began to throb, each beat sending out jolts of pain through my body. I was distressed and hated myself at that moment for not being able to save Albert’s sister. Another jolt of pain lanced through me as I watched Albert scream out in pain, still holding on tightly to his little sister's body. My hand went to my chest, as I tried to hold back my wince of pain, still staring down at his trembling frame around his sister's body.His people also joined him. I only stared at them as I didn't know what to do or say at that moment. After some minutes, they all stopped crying, Albert still panting as he held his sister’s dead body.In that somber tableau, the little girl's presence lingered—an innocent soul lost to the unforgiving hands of fate. Her stillness painted a poignant picture of life's fragility, a stark reminder that even the purest souls could be engulfed by the darkness that sometimes shadows our path. As I stood there, a sil

Nathan’s POV“We should leave now, Albert,” I said to him after a while. The pain in my chest lingered, although it had died down a little bit a few minutes ago. However, it still throbbed and burned especially whenever I thought of the pain poor Albert must have been going through at that moment.Although I had lost my mother when I was still little and I was just five years old, as I had told Albert. However, despite the fact that it happened a long time ago, I still hurt and feel sad whenever I think about my mom.My mom, a sweet and caring soul, had been the rock of our little pack, back when our lack was still little and growing. She had been my dad's loving partner, a trusted friend to our pack mates, and, most importantly, a loving mom to me. The memories of those times played in my head like a sad movie, each scene etched with the pain that shaped my early years.One bright morning, the shady shadows of another pack messed up our peaceful turf. We used to live in the heart of

~ Nathan’s POVWe both walked back to return to our post as it was already morning. As we got to the entrance to where the captives were and just then we met two soldiers who were already guarding the door. “Where the hell were you?” One of them yelled out immediately after he set his eyes on us.Albert and I quickly moved closer to them, bowing to them, and apologizing.“Why did you leave your duty post?” The other one asked. “We are sorry, we went to ease ourselves,” I said, still bowing.“Both of you?” He asked again.“Yes. I’m sorry I should have waited behind and allowed Albert to go first,” I said to him.They were silent for a few minutes and then finally broke the silence and yelled at us never to leave our duty post again.Albert and I nodded and then we moved closer to them to stay on guard but they told us that it was their time to stand guard and instructed us to go back to sleep. We bowed to greet them and then turned to leave. Albert turned to look back at his people

~Nathan’s POVI returned my phone back to my pocket to avoid getting caught and I quickly turned my attention to Damien. He went into his room and we were all ordered to return to our room as well. This is where the problem lies. I don’t have any room in the palace.Albert looked at my confused face and I could only stare at him as I didn’t know where to turn. Fortunately, one of the guards approached us and told us to go to the last room on the left in the palace.“Why should I go there?” I asked him, looking surprised.“What do you mean? That’s where you should be since you have no room to stay in,” he said, looking pissed.“Alpha Damien brought in some guards a few days ago and because of you guys, I can’t have my room to myself anymore. Don’t even think of coming to my room to stay with me,” he added, angrily and left.Albert and I smiled at each other and then walked to the room the guard described to us. The room was more like a student dormitory. Three other guards were alread

~ Isabella’s POVI could hear Nathan's dark murmur, but I didn't think there was anyone else in the room. After listening absentmindedly for a bit, I realized that he was on the phone. My heart sank and at the same time, I was furious that Nathan would be receiving a call in my room. I tried to listen in on the call, but I eventually gave up not being able to focus on the dizzying pain that was still arcing through my lower belly. I blinked slowly in pain, my mind was hazy as I thought about my unborn child, my baby who couldn’t make it just because of his/her Ignorant mother. I blinked back tears as the feelings of grief and guilt tore through me. I was sad and at that moment, wanted nothing else than for the doctor to come into my room and tell me that it was all a mistake. I wanted to be told and assured that my baby was alive and well.And yet, at the same time, my treacherous heart was telling me that it was for the best. That no child should have to be born to an abusive and mu

~ Isabella’s POVBefore I could reply to him/her, I heard footsteps moving away from the door. I was still tired but I had to stand up and get dressed.I felt a sharp pain in my tummy as I walked to where my clothes were to get changed. I ignored the pain and changed. I went outside and I saw that everyone was already gathered outside waiting for Damien. As I approached the crowd, I felt all eyes on me but I ignored them and went to stand among the maids. I looked around to see if Nathan was present and I felt relieved when I didn’t see him.Just then I saw him coming out of his room with a young boy walking behind him. I quickly shifted my gaze away from him, looking down. I could feel his gaze on me but I didn’t look at him.Damien came out of the room and we all went to the palace. I was uncomfortable throughout the whole journey, feeling pain all over my body.We finally got to the palace and what came after shocked me.
