~Zella~

“Why? Why are you so eager to leave the room? Do you want to avoid answering all my questions? Are you afraid that your lies will be exposed?” he asked, pressuring me to reveal the truth.

I heaved a sigh. “Alpha, as much as I wanted to continue our conversation, I have to go back to the carriage because I’m not feeling well. I’m still reeling from the trauma I was subjected to during my kidnapping. Last night was very traumatizing for me. I nearly died. If not for the Moon Goddess' help

  • The Alpha's Poisonous Wife   27. Where Are You?

    ~Zella~'Are you going out now to hunt for food?' I asked.'Yup. An early bird catches the worm,' he joked.'I know you've already explored the capital earlier. Have you seen the palace already?' I asked.He answered, 'Nope. Not yet. But I will follow Alpha Declan's men today. They are heading for the palace. I heard them talking yesterday in the garden.''Good. When you are already inside the palace, focus on finding the dungeon first. Search for the prisoners' faces and, if you see Becca, inform me right away so that I can give you further instructions. OK?"'Copy, sis,' Zion said, leaving his cage, ready to fly away.'Once you are already in the palace, tell me right away. I will start giving you instructions on what to do next. You will be my eyes in the palace because I can't enter it," I said.'Noted, sis. I'll go now,' Zion replied, and flew away straight to the window and disappeared from my sight.After my twin left, my anxiety started to kick in. But I needed to keep moving

    ~Zella~'Yup, I hear you,' I responded sleepily. 'Um, we'll just talk about it tomorrow after we get a good night's sleep. My tired brain can't think clearly right now.''Alright, tomorrow then. Good night,' Zion says.'Night night,' I responded, yawning successively. I glanced at the window, it was still open. I rose to my feet, closed the window and then went back to bed. I drifted into a deep slumber a few moments later.I dreamt again in my sleep. This time the mischievous goddess Selene appeared in my dream."Wake up sleepy head," Selene said, tapping on my arm.When I opened my eyes, I found myself inside her wooden house, lying on the floor. "Goddess, why am I here again?" I asked in astonishment as I sat upright, gazing at her face."I saw a glimpse of your future. One of your siblings will die. I can make some changes if you beg me. Which one of your siblings would you choose to continue living with? Becca or Zion?"Whaaaat? No! My eyes bulged out of their socket. A cold chil

  • The Alpha's Poisonous Wife   25. Not Again!

    ~Zella~We finally arrived at Alpha Declan's property in the capital, the Royal Mellow Lodge. After I had put my baggage in my room in the VIP area located on the 3rd floor, Alpha Declan led me to the office of the manager.He quickly initiated the introduction. "Mrs. Greco, this is Miss Zella Nexus. She is a very special friend of mine, part of my family. Please take care of her. She will stay in the VIP room and will be given free food and access to all the amenities here. Keep her safe. If something bad happens to her, I will hold you accountable. Do you understand?""Yes, I understand, Alpha. I will take care of Miss Nexus," Mrs. Greco replied in a calm tone, smiling at me warmly, like a mother welcoming a lost puppy into her fold."Nice meeting you, Mrs. Greco," I said, shaking her hands. I already like her."It's my pleasure to serve you, Miss Nexus. Welcome to Royal Mellow Lodge. Please feel at home," Mrs. Greco said genuinely. Her motherly warmth felt comforting to me."Girls,

    ~Zella~“Nothing has changed," I shrugged.“Really?”"Yes, I only gave up entering the palace because that’s what you think is best for me. For that reason, I decided to just explore the capital and enjoy the culture." I responded calmly.“I see, you already had a plan B. That’s good…so…you already have a place to stay in the capital? Where are you staying?” he asked, curious about my accommodation.I took a deep breath. “I don’t know yet. I will probably stay in some cheap inn while exploring the capital and finding a job to sustain my needs,” I said, my tone laced with uncertainty.We fell into silence.He was tapping the table with his fingers and looking at me in deep thought. Then he said, “You can stay on my property in the capital for a while if you have no place to stay. It’s rent-free, and you don't have to worry about monthly rent. Food will always be free for you,” he offered graciously.My eyes sparkled in amazement, surprised by his generosity. “R-really? You let me stay

    ~Zella~‘Please don’t be sad anymore, even if you can’t enter the palace. I can do it for you. I can enter the palace and search for Becca. How about that?’ Zion said.“Fantastic!” A dazzling smile breaks into my face. Wow! After experiencing a setback, a perfect solution was given to me by my twins. I felt great again. ‘Thank you, Moon Goddess!’ I exclaimed in glee.Damn, why did I mention the goddess again? I rolled my eyes.‘Thank you bro! I appreciate your help,’ I said, looking at my twins with love and gratitude in my eyes. Hope is not lost after all. ‘Let’s plan later after we reach the capital.’‘Okie Dokie. I’m going to sleep now,” Zion said and dozed into sleep a few minutes later.I remained wide awake, staring at the ceiling, my head buzzing with activity. I need a solid plan for Zion’s safe entry into the palace. He should follow Alpha Declan around, to know his daily activities and to get acquainted with all the ins and outs of the palace.My musings were interrupted by

  • The Alpha's Poisonous Wife   22. Changes

    ~Zella~The whole morning passed like a blur in my eyes. We had an early lunch and left the beach to proceed to our destination.Alpha Declan avoided me, or rather, he was still reeling from the shock that Moon Goddess Selene favors me.Although I achieved what I hoped for, I will try my best not to include the goddess again in my private affairs.Selene is a mischievous goddess. She might do something to me against my will or take advantage of me, so I'd better avoid mentioning her name again to save myself from future trouble. She had kidnapped me before. She might do it again if I offend her.Note to myself: I must focus now on entering the palace and I shall behave and stay away from trouble from now on.On the road we passed the same countryside scenery, mountains, rivers, oceans, towns and villages. The world is indeed big. So much to explore yet so little time. This is the most extensive travel I have ever done outside the Iron Fist Pack. Thanks to Alpha Declan for bringing me

    ~Zella~The men murmured to each other, getting excited about the bidding, ignoring the contempt in my eyes.‘I need a new sex slave because my previous one died after I drowned her in the bathtub during our sex play,’ I heard the guy say to his companion.‘I also need a new one because my current

    ~Zella~“No. There is nothing to tell you, Alpha. The Moon Goddess simply hears my prayers, that’s all. It’s up to you if you believe it or not.” I stick with my lie to save myself from further trouble.“Really?” he said, smirking. “Go on, keep lying. I will know soon enough how capable you are!”H
