HILDA'S POV"Are you out of your mind?" My mum asked, looking at me with wide eyes as if I had just spoken something that should never be uttered."But mum," I insisted. "I am only going there to check how she is doing, and also to make sure that she is not bringing a bad name to our family and kingdom.""Well... That is not something you should worry about, my dear Hilda." My father said, placing a hand on my shoulder. "After all, Alpha Moses said she is doing well, so we should not be bothered."I narrowed my eyes as I remembered Alpha Moses's smile when he had talked about Matilda, and that kept appearing in my mind and got me even more pissed. I felt like shouting at my parents that instant, but I decided to keep my cool, I had to keep pretending to be the perfect child, while they see Matilda as the bad child."But we can't count on his words' dad, he could easily have said that for whatever reason," I said calmly with a droopy body."Matilda dear, I have no idea why you are insi
MATILDA'S POVI sat still on the table after I watched him leave angrily together with his right-hand man.For the first few moments, I was confused and scared at the same time. Why would he just walk out on me like that after staring at me without even saying anything to me?I was relieved that whatever he must have heard that got him upset was not about me after all, even though I still wondered why he had stared at me. If it was about me, he would have accosted me, right?I picked up my spoon and continued eating, this time around more comfortably because I was aware that he was not there, and he was not watching me eat.At least there was no pair of fierce blue eyes looking at me from across the table.I ate comfortably and devoured the food like the hungry person that I was, I did not care about the maids who were watching me. I was sure that they would have known that he was the reason I had refused to eat all along. Even though deep down, there was a pit in my stomach. I could
MATILDA'S POVI made up my mind to ignore the scream and go back to my room, after all, it was none of my business, and I was not even supposed to be outside my room in the first place. I started heading back to my room when I heard the sound again, this time around even more loudly. It seemed like she was calling for help.I looked around the hallway, but there was no one close by to help whomever it was that needed help, I was the only one, and I found myself not being able to ignore the call for help anymore, someone could be in danger, and I would not be able to stand it if something happened to the person, and I knew I would have been of help.Without thinking about the consequences of leaving my room without permission, I ran to the door of the room I heard the sound from and knocked on the door repeatedly.It was opened by a young girl whom I was later to know as the personal maid of Alpha Moses's Grandmother.I saw the panic on her face when she opened the door, she was sweati
MOSES'S POVI was sitting in Alpha Daniel's living room when my phone rang, I picked it up immediately, and the first thing I heard was a woman's voice who seemed to be in a panicked mode."Hello… Alpha Moses," the voice was soft, yet it seemed she was in a state of panic.I recognized the voice immediately to be the voice of the young girl I had assigned to be the personal maid of my grandmother. My heart skipped the moment I heard the fear in her voice."What is going on?" I asked, still trying to maintain my poise and charisma, and not let myself appear shaken in front of Alpha Daniel and his family."Your grandmother is having a seizure, my Alpha," came the voice from the other side."What?" I asked, finally losing it. "And where is Luxian? Call him immediately to take care of her." "Luxian is nowhere around the palace, my Alpha and there are not enough warriors at the back right now." She said in a shaky voice."What?" I asked again, this time finally losing it.I summoned all m
MOSES'S POVShe was about to walk out of the room looking like a scared puppy and with her head bowed when I held her hand and pulled her back.I could feel her body shiver out of fear as I held onto her. I was not in the mood to tease her so I let go of her hand immediately when I noticed that she was scared of me. She might probably be thinking that I would punish her for leaving her room.She managed to look up at my face, and then I looked into her eyes sometimes, then I whispered the words "thank you." Underneath my breath.She looked into my eyes for some time, the look of fear in her eyes was for a moment replaced with that of surprise.She looked surprised that I would even say such a word to her. She wasn't expecting much.I was surprised that I could say such a word to anyone, let alone a powerless, scared woman like her.But of course, my grandmother meant everything to me and I would thank anybody who helped me from losing her.She nodded her head again and slowly walked a
MOSES'S POVI immediately felt sorry for going hard on him, when it was my fault that he had not been around when my grandmother needed him most. But I was not one to accept my faults, let alone apologize for being hard on him. I swallowed hard with a flushed face."I see," I said calmly.He could see he became calm and less scared when he noticed I was no longer angry."You can go in and check on her now? Make sure that there are no more underlying conditions that could mean her life is in danger again."He loved his head and started going into the house, and I went with him and stood behind him, looking at what he was doing.After checking her for more than twenty minutes, he stood up and turned to me."How did you say she got revived from the seizure, my Alpha?" He asked with a furrowed brow."Someone saved her," I said, looking away as I thought about Matilda."That means we need to be grateful to that person, we are really lucky that she showed up on time and saved your grandmot
MATILDA'S POVI gently stood up from the bed and started walking away from the room out of fear of what he might do to me for disobeying him and leaving my room without his permission.I was about to walk out of the room when he held me by the hand and stopped me. I was scared when he held my hand, thinking that he probably wanted to punish me for disobeying him.I stopped in my tracks and looked into his face in fear.He looked into my eyes for some time, and then he let go of my hand, which surprised me.I was even more surprised when he whispered some words to me.At first, I was not sure what the words he had said were, but as I walked out of the room, the words registered in my head.Did he just thank me? I knew I had saved his grandmother, and deserved some accolades. But I was also surprised that a man like Alpha Moses would even say thank you to a girl like me.I had no idea how that made me feel, but apart from the surprise I felt at his words, there was still a feeling of h
MATILDA'S POVI looked up at him in surprise, I could not believe my ears.Did he just ask me to go for a walk with him?Then I thought probably he was not talking to me, maybe he was talking to someone else. I decided not to get my hopes too high, then I turned back and continued with what I was doing. But then, it was only the both of us in the room, his grandmother was already asleep, and I was sure he was aware of that.“Go for a walk with me.” I heard him say it again.“Me?” I asked, surprised, pointing at myself.He rolled his eyes. “Yes. Of course, there are only both of us here, or do you want to wake my grandmother up, so she would go for a walk with me?” He asked dramatically.I was amused by his question. I did not know that the most feared Alpha Moses knew how to crack jokes, but I did not dare laugh at his jokes, in case he got mad at me for daring to laugh.“I'm sorry,” I said instead.“Are you coming or not?” He asked again, getting impatient.I was surprised that he wo
