AlricI couldn't recall when last I was restless about something. I didn't think my bond with Ophelia was this strong even with the mate bond not involved.I ran my hand through my hair and sat up quickly as the doctor walked back into the room.The last conversation I had with him was calm, but I didn't think the next one would be if he didn't have exactly what I wanted.After waiting for a few minutes, the very second I planned on getting to my feet, he walked in.Still, I stood up because I was completely restless. The doctor didn’t meet my eyes at first—I was staring directly at him, waiting to get a response while he stood at the foot of the bed, flipping through pages that clearly held no answers, his lips pressed into a thin, practiced line. The steady beep of the monitor filled the silence he seemed too afraid to break.“Well?” I snapped, my voice already tight with impatience. “Say it.”The last thing I wanted to hear was that they had no idea what was wrong with my mate.Viv

Ophelia POVAfter their argument finally died down, Alric dismissed the doctor, who had nothing to say but to tell us that they were trying their best.Alric then walked towards me and kissed my forehead before standing upright."I have to head to the pack house now... Laura is here, and in case you need anything, give me a call immediately," he said, causing me to give a small nod.As much as I didn't want him to leave, I always tried to remind myself that his first duty was to the pack and not me. My duty was to the pack as well, so I had to think of what benefits the pack, and right now, the pack needs their alpha.Alric walked out of the room, and the second he was out, I said, "I'm sorry that I ruined your...""Shush... Don't even go there; I'm completely fine, trust me. You made me experience one of the best nights of my life so...""Still, I didn't plan on ruining it, honestly!""You didn't ruin it. You didn't!" She said, her eyes teary.Laura wiped her eyes quickly and forced

OpheliaI was taken to a room and locked up in there. I walked in pain, thinking this was how things were going to end for me.After crying for hours, I finally fell unconscious, and by the time I woke up, I found myself back in my room—at the pack house.How? I asked myself severally until the door finally opened and I saw Laura walk through it.I pinched myself a few times just to confirm that I wasn't in a trance.“You're up!!” She was so excited, and so was I.As she ran up to me, she suddenly fell to the ground with the glass of water she was holding as well.I hurried down, with little to no strength in me. "Laura! Laura!" I said while hitting her body, trying to get her to stand up."Help! Help!" I cried."Laura! " I kept on trying to make him stop shaking when suddenly, the door of the room flew open and one of the maidens came in to see that Laura was shaking on the ground."Please don't just stand there! Call the doctor, call for help! "Anyone!" I yelled, still trying to get

Ophelia"What do you mean? Can you be more clear?" I asked in a rage."I didn't do much, Ophelia; don't worry....""Oh my God, Val, what the hell is your problem?" I asked, already feeling furious."Nothing, okay? I didn't do anything," she said, causing me to narrow my eyes."Come on! Don't lie now; you early said you did something to give you the upper hand. What did you tell Alric? I know the both of you don't have a good relationship currently, and if I tell him you sold me, that would worsen everything..." I said, but I got silence as a response."Are you there? "Come on, answer me now so I'll know how to respond to his next question when he asks," I said."Oh well, I said nothing, but I have someone look into it, so I'll know what he might have heard," Valerie said, causing me to let out a long sigh."Okay, later then!" I said and ended the call. As I turned to leave, I immediately saw Alric standing behind me."Who the hell is that?" He asked calmly with a straight face, but I

OpheliaI climbed down from my bed and then walked to my vanity after gazing at my reflection in the mirror. I walked towards my bathroom and turned on the shower.After having a really cold shower, I stepped out of the bathroom to my bedroom. I dried my hair and then settled into the dress that Alric got for me for the auction."Woah, This looks beautiful," I said after trying the dress. I was expecting a knock on my door, hoping that the stylist and make-up artists would come so they could beautify me, but there was none, and still, I haven't heard Alric at my door this morning. I took up the dress because I was just trying it out before the auction this eveningAfter placing the dress on my bed, I moved my room to Alric's room.I knocked on the door but got no response. Furrowing my brows, I decided to leave and ask the butler if Alric was still home.As I walked downstairs, I caught sight of the butler in the sitting room"Hello, madam. Good morning. You're up so early, do you wan
