"Briella! Thank the Goddess, where have you been? we have all been looking all over for you, I thought something bad had happened to you." Bianca exclaimed, all in one breath as she embraced the girl to herself. "Thank the Goddess indeed, I was seconds away from breaking down, this is all my fault, I'm sorry." Mila apologized as they took turns embracing the clueless girl. Briella's eyes roamed around and her eyes caught the crowd, she was confused about what was going on. "What is going on? Why does everyone look scared?" She inquired. "You were crying earlier, I was afraid that you had done something bad to yourself, then we couldn't find you, and your door was locked from the inside." The female alpha explained making Briella's face concoct into realization. "Oh! I simply went for a walk, I thought you all would coddle me and not allow me, so I had to sneak out." She rubbed her neck as her eyes darted around, finally landing on Hugo. "What is he doing here?" She growled out. H

Hugo's face was red, and so was Briella's as they both sat in front of Brittany like a scolding Mom."I thought you got your heart broken." Brittany stated"Where did you hear that from?" Briella scowled. She loved taking care of her own things and hated it when people go behind her back to tell her sisters what is going on."Alpha Bianca told me." The said sister deadpanned, making Briella sigh at the same time as Hugo."You should know better than to poke your nose into something that is none of your business." Briella's scowl deepened"And he should know better than to break your heart." Brittany responded with her own scowl while pointing at Hugo"I am sorry." Hugo said, looking down, rubbing his hands together."Nah, it's fine, I know this duffos can take care of herself, but the next time I try something like that again, I am going to hunt you down and kill you myself." Brittany threatened, Briella facepalmed and Hugo gulped in fear.That would be the second time someone would t

"Why did you do that?" Jessica asked frantically. She was scared of what their father would do after that little stunt Jude made."..." He simply kept driving"Answer me Jude, I'm scared." She whispered"Did you see that? You saw how he whimpered? That means one thing, do you know what it means?" Jude smiled from ear to ear"That you can be king?" Jessica answered "Yes!" Jude exclaimed"That means you can challenge him." She was sure of her answer this time"That's not all, you're not saying the most important thing.""I honestly can't think of another thing to say." Jessica said truthfully"It means he can't hurt us anymore, and he will listen to me more, that means no more hurting you." Jude was full-on smiling now.One would think because of the hardheaded rogue prince he was, he would be incapable of emotions. But, only a few things can bring out emotions in him, one of them being Jessica, his sister."That sounds great." Jessica mumbled"Yeah." Their silent driving continued.Je

"..." Hugo listened attentively as Briella recounted every one of her experiences with Jude.From when and how she was kidnapped and how he forced himself on her despite her reluctance. How he refused to listen to her despite her begging.The more she spoke, the angry Hugo became. Briella was sure the anger was not directed at her because he was gripping her hand the whole time, slowly reassuring her that she could go on.By the end of her story, she was totally upset and full-on crying, and Hugo could do nothing but pull them out of the restaurant."Bill please." He raised his hand to call the waiter over to their table.After he paid, he pulled Briella out of the building gently towards where he packed the car."I'm sorry for crying, I ruined our night didn't I?" She had resorted to quiet sobs at that time."No, no, don't say that, you didn't ruin the night or anything, I am glad you told me." Hugo assured her."Yeah, I wanted to, because I believe something is going to happen and y

Brittany wanted to be selfish, she wanted to go for what she wanted for the first time. She decided she was going to tell Briella that she harbors feelings for Hugo.With that mindset, she left her room and went straight to Briella, only to find her on the phone with the man of her desire."Is something wrong?" Briella asked her sister. It was unlike her to visit in the middle of the night looking like she had been crying."Yes, everything is fine, I was getting water in the kitchen when I heard your voice, I wanted to know what is keeping you up." Brittany made up immediately to avoid being caught."Yes, I'm fine, I was just talking to Hugo." There it was again, the name that almost wanted to bring Brittany to her knees, and not in a bad way, but rather a pleasurable one."Okay, good night." In the end, Brittany could not go through with her plan of telling Briella what was running through her mind.She thought about her career, Briella played a huge role in getting where she was.Ev
