All Chapters of Veil Of Destiny: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Maria's POV Alpha Elijah had given me my own place and gotten me a job in the clinic. I loved what I did now and hoped that I could start my life afresh here. Elizabeth didn't like me and so far, she made it very clear to me that she didn't like me. I tried to stay away from her as much as possible and even deliberately avoided Alpha Elijah."How are you enjoying the clinic?" Elvira asked me as I made my way to the canteen to have lunch. "It's going on well. I'm really grateful you took me in to work here. I don't think I would have survived anywhere else" I said thankfully and she laughed. "Look, your pregnancy is already 6 months. You need to relax more and work less now. I know you only just started work here and you are supposed to be on probation for the first three months but I am going to ease the burden of work for you. You will still be getting your full pay too" Elvira said and I felt my eyes water with tears. I remembered Maya and how she had been nice to me too before

Maria's POV "She must be sent away, I don't care what happens. You have to send her away. I can't believe you would stall in doing this?" I heard Elizabeth's sharp voice. I had followed Alpha Elijah back to the palace because he had forgotten his scepter. It was embarrassing that I had run into them like this, especially since I knew that Elizabeth was talking about him throwing me out of the palace. It was all too much. I wanted to just catch a break and it seemed as if I kept moving from a bad place to worse. It was already enough that I was pregnant for a man who wouldn't even look at me, I had fallen prey to a deranged pervert Alpha who only wanted to do whatever he could to sleep with me. Now, finally, in a place where I should get breathing space, I was still plagued by a woman that I had done absolutely nothing but exist to. "You can't ask me for such a thing. She is under my protection as a pack member now. You should know me better than that" I heard Alpha Elijah's reassu

Maria's POV It wasn't hard to find my way to the clinic the next day. I had a lot I wanted to talk about with Elvira. The nightmare I had was heavy on my mind but I needed to ask her if she could help me return the Alpha's staff of authority. It didn't take long for me to get to the clinic, but I hesitated before knocking on Elvira's door. "Come in" her cool voice invited me in. Without any more hesitation, I turned the lock and eased the door open. Her office had a strong smell of antiseptic, one that made me gag. "Oh, Maria. I was not expecting you so soon. Is everything okay with you and the baby?" She asked, pointing to the seat in front of her. "I am fine. I've just been having the backache I kept complaining to you about, it seems to be getting worse" I said to her, hoping that she didn't see through me. "Alright. I'll give you a painkiller to help with the pain but it all boils down to you resting and sleeping a lot. You are entering your third trimester, it's the last hur

Alpha Leo's POVI was shocked to see such a reaction. I had not been expecting it, considering the puzzled look on Sophia's face. I could have sworn that she paled immediately, her color turning white. "Do you know each other?" I asked Lady Willow but she didn't say anything, instead, she slowly backed away into her house, pulling me behind her. I moved away from her and held her in place as she began to convulse in my arms. "Guards!" I yelled as her guards immediately found their way to me. Within minutes, we were in her room and the doctor had practically raced down here from the barn behind the house to attend to her. "Is she going to be okay?" I asked, even though my mind was filled with thoughts of all that could have warranted such a response. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, so I wanted to make sure that she was fine before moving to make my inquiries. "She will be. She is just in shock. You know, she is not as young as she used to be even though she can take on any fo

Maria's POVMy heart pounded in my chest as I made my way back to my apartment. My protruding belly didn't help my movements as I stumbled back to my place, my heart pounding profusely in my chest. I stopped a few times to steady myself and my breathing, willing myself to do whatever I could to control my breath. Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me and hastened my steps in fear, the steps quickened and I broke into a run. The person increased their pace, I turned to quickly catch a glimpse of whoever was following me and found myself reeling down a hill. I struggled to catch myself, all to no avail as the little slope quickened my fall and had me tumbling in the dust. A pair of hands broke my fall and steadied me, helping me to sit. "Are you okay?" I heard Alpha Elijah's unmistakable voice. I heaved a sigh of relief, worried that one of Alpha Leo's henchmen might have seen me, considering that he was supporting to come to the pack the following week. "Well, I just rolled on the
