Millicent had just come back from training with Raph and was busy with the baby, while Hugh, kept asking her questions about her pack when Mildred who had been cooking came out.'You have really made a great impression on my nephew', she said. This was coming about three months after Millicent came to live with them. They had established a routine where Raph trained her in the evenings when he got back from work or in the morning after their run and there was still time before he went off to work. He was in the employ of Alpha Blake. He worked as one of the security officers. Little wonder then that he had been the first to sight her when she came into their territory.'Your nephew?', Millicent mouthed, eyes agog. 'But I thought that he was...''My son?' Mildred finished for her. 'Yes, I see him as my son but he is actually the son of my late sister. I took him on when he was very young and has grown to see me as the mother he lost'.Millicent nodded, she could identify with that.'So
'Hia, hia', went the sound from Millicent as she trained. She had been training really hard since she had that discussion with Mildred two months ago. She would train at her free time and train with Raph when he got back home. She had noticed how he looked at her tenderly, his eyes filled with love that it always tugged at her heart. She nearly asked him not to love her once but since he hadn't said anything about loving her, she kept quiet.Mildred had once commented on her ferocious training 'You train as though you are preparing for a war. I hope we are safe?''Of course you are. Do you doubt your safety with me? I have been known as a weakling all my life and taken advantage of. I want to erase that impression and rewrite my own destiny', she said , a far - away look in her eyes.'You speak with bitterness and determination', she observed. 'Were you hurt by someone in the past?'Millicent marvelled at her perception. She had not told them about her birth pack - Crescent Pack nor a
Millicent's POV 'Do you love me?' Raph asked, and I could see how nervous he was. 'I want you to be my chosen mate!'I had wanted to stop him asking me the question that led to that declaration but what could I have done short of pinning his lips?'Why are you so quiet?' he asked. 'I know this may have been sudden but it can't have been that much of a surprise if you are aware of my feelings for you'.'Raph', I said looking at him earnestly, hoping he would understand. 'I have indeed suspected that you might have special feelings for me, but I have prayed that I was wrong about that because I do not deserve you'.'Oh, Millicent, how can you even think that?' he asked.'I am a nobody. An orphan and I have nothing. What good could I possibly bring you or even be to you?' I asked, hoping to help him see reason why he should not have feelings for me.'I do not need anything from you but your love', he said looking deeply into my eyes, his heart in his own.'Exactly!' I blurted. 'I do not
'We saw the Omega maid, Millicent, you banished in the territory of Alpha Blake'. The men said.'Was she with Blake?' Alpha Sylvester asked, already growling with jealousy.'No. But we found out that she lives with a family a little farther from the main pack. She was with a young man'.There was no need to speak too much. He had spent the past year, looking for her and now that he had found her, he was not going to let her run away.'But my Alpha', Beta Daniel said. 'Seeing the way you have treated her these years, do you think she will be willing to come back to you?''You do not have to worry about that', Alpha Sylvester said confidently, his chest seeming to grow broader than normal. 'I have devised a plan that I am sure will work. She will be more than happy to come back to me'.The next day, Alpha Sylvester himself went to the said place, covering his scent so that no one would know of his presence in another Alpha's territory especially since the said Alpha was his mortal enerm
Sylvester's POVA smug smile played across my face. I had not doubted that I could get Millicent to come back to me. When I was told that she was important for my continued rein as Alpha, I had to come up with a way to get her back and win her heart till I achieved my aim.'There have been some misfortunes of which you are aware of', the chief had said. 'We took it upon ourselves to consult a seer and she said, the misfortune is because the person whom the moon goddess has chosen to be the Luna of this pack has been exiled. Do you know who that person might be?' he asked, looking at Sylvester critically.Sylvester did not have to think but pretended to because he could not believe that the brat was still haunting him even in absentia.'It might be the maid, Millicent. The pack maid who I exiled for being rude', he answered non - challantly.'We have reason to believe she is your fated mate and that is why she must come back to rule by your side or you stand the risk of losing your tit
Millicent's POVSylvester came into my room and though I did not want him there, I pretended I did not mind his presence. He had to believe I was falling in love with him. Once I gained his trust, I would strike him in a way he would never have imagined. 'Yes?' I said with a smile on my face.'Have I told you how beautiful you are?' he asked, coming close to me. I felt like backing away but I stood firmly where I was with the smile still pasted on my lips.He tipped my face up and kissed me lightly on the lips. I felt like spitting on his face when he tipped my face up but I knew it would ruin my plans. After enduring his kiss, which surprisingly didn't feel so bad, it felt like he had imprinted his lips on mine and I nearly raised my hands to wipe it off my lips but I stilled my movements yet again. For how long would I continue to restrain myself?'You have been telling me that since I got back', I replied.'But you do not believe me?' he said, looking pained.'I know you have con
I was walking round the pack one day when I thought I heard my name mentioned. I hated to eavesdrop but felt that it was important for to know what was being said about me. So, I hid behind a house, close to the speakers.It was the Beta and one other warrior. 'I feel for Millicent. She has suffered alot and now, the Alpha is using her while pretending to care for her', Beta Daniel said. He was the Beta I had danced with at Sylvester's and Cathania's engagement party.'But he might just end up really caring for her', the warrior said, smiling. 'It has been known to happen that while pretending to care, one actually starts caring!''I doubt Alpha Sylvester will ever care for Millicent', Beta Daniel continued. 'He is just using her to secure his throne as Alpha'.'How so?' the warrior asked bemused. 'Is he at risk of losing his throne?'' Do not tell me you did not know the outcome of the meeting held after the engagement party between Alpha Sylvester and Cathania', Beta Daniel continu
Sylvester's POVI walked into my garden to meet with Cathania as we usually did since I brought Millicent back into the pack. I could not afford at this time to meet her outside and anyway, no one comes into my garden except they wanted to face my wrath. It was not called the 'Restricted Garden' for nothing.'Do you know how it feels to be away from you and keep imagining what you must be doing with that filthy maid?' Cathania sulked, as soon as I joined her there.'I know but you don't have to be jealous. Remember we are just using her. I virtually have her feeding out of my hands. I shall not be surprised if she is already head over heels in love with me', I said.'Anyway, we shall stick to the plan. Stay away from me. I shall act as though we have nothing in common', I advised Cathania.'This had better be fast. I am getting impatient', Cathania said snuggling even closer into my arms.'Be patient my love. After the council is satisfied, I shall be free to do as I please. Imagine b
