The shrieking cry of a baby pierces the air and Gabriella shifts annoyedly on the bed she lay on. She turns about for a while before finally sitting up with a frown. "Why won't that child just shut up and sleep?", she complains grouchily in a sleepy tone just as realization dawns on her. There was only one place she had slept in her entire life where a child had interrupted her sleep by crying loudly in the night. "Damn Gabriella, how are you here in Marvin's home again?", she reprimands herself. "How come that child is even back home?", she snorts just as her memories suddenly come back to her in a flash making her groan. "To think that I'm the one that brought up the idea of adding more wolfsbane to the dart mixture so that it would be more effective. Look how long you've been unconscious now", she chuckles as she remembers getting shot. 'Is it possible for me to make my way out of here before daybreak?', she wonders and looks out of the window only to see that it was already

Castor kicks the door of his room shut behind him after walking pass with Tyra in his arms and moves to the bed to drop her. Once he drops her on the bed, he walks to his wardrobe just as quickly and picks out a t-shirt and sweatpants. "I hope it won't be too big on you", he mutters as he drops the clothes on the bed with his eyes averted. "I'll head out so you can dress up" Tyra exhales once he was out of the room and picks up the clothes he had dropped. They were almost falling off the bed since he hadn't been looking when he dropped them. "My brothers weren't even half as neat as this", she chuckles on seeing how tidy the room was while looking around but her smile soon freezes at the memory of her family. She quickly shoves aside the thought and goes back to thinking about Castor instead. She found it impressive that his eyes hadn't lingered on her body even for a moment while bringing her in. He had also been calm and caring all along and was even the Alpha's ward from wh

Varus paces about Richard's study with a large frown on his face. Richard is sitting on his chair in the office also seeming pensive but not as much as Varus was. "I don't why you're refusing to arrange a meeting to discuss getting Gabriella back", Varus complains. "I can't request for a meeting with the Alpha Supreme's son, that would mean I'm admitting defeat", Richard argues. "Then do it! This bid of yours to become the Alpha Ultra was not going to work anyway" "It would have worked if she didn't get mated to him" "Well, she did. If you were so capable of being the Alpha Ultra, then why didn't you get elected by the werecouncil in the first place?", Varus retorts. "Do you think the Alpha Supreme would choose someone else over his own son?", Richard challenges. "It's not like it was his personal decision, there were twenty-six Alpha Ultras and two aides of the Alpha Supreme in the werecouncil apart from the Alpha Supreme" "But his vote counted as five votes and each vote of

Several days later, all the inconveniences caused by the fire in the pack have been forgotten and plans for the launching are uppermost in the minds of everyone. Marvin is sitting in his new office, planning how best to complete all the requirements they were to meet before the launching when there is a knock at the door. "Come in," he answers, without looking up from his desk and Trevor walks in with his usual cheery countenance. "I really love the outside view from this new office of yours, it really is the best office in the building", Trevor praises. "As it should be", Marvin smiles. "Someone is being boastful" "Someone is liking another man's office better than his", Marvin fires back and both men laugh. "So, I have some documents for you to sign," Trevor announces once they have put aside their mirth and drops a folder on Marvin's desk. "I'm getting tired of having to sign so much paperwork", Marvin groans. "This is going to be the story of your life till you're old a
