Phoenix's POV:When I saw Brenda pass out, I was so scared that I didn't even care about the newborn baby.I stumbled towards the operating table and grabbed a nurse's arm."Nurse, is she okay?" I asked anxiously."She has just fainted from exhaustion.However, we need to ask you to leave first.We need to focus on saving her right now,"the nurse answered, jabbing a finger at the door.I knew I had no other choice but to go out obediently and wait.With my back against the wall, I recalled how Brenda had looked at me from the operating table just now.All of a sudden, I felt suffocated from guilt.I was so useless! There was nothing I could do but watch as Brenda suffered."Phoenix, how's Brenda?"A gentle voice interrupted my thoughts.I turned around and saw Rayell and Callox standing by the hall outside the operating room.Seeing them here, I had mixed feelings.Were they also worried about Brenda? For the longest time, Brenda and I had done everything in our power to make them suff
Elizabeth's POV: I watched quietly as Phoenix and Callox talked and found that the atmosphere between them was not as tense as before. This made me sigh deeply. I hated Phoenix deeply. After all, he had killed my beloved husband. But admittedly, I was relieved to see that the relationship between the two brothers was improving. Otherwise, Callox would need to stay vigilant as long as Phoenix was alive. He would never be able to rest easy. It was good for Callox and Phoenix to reconcile. After all, they were brothers. But thinking about my poor husband's fate, I couldn't help but shed angry tears. "Take good care of Brenda, Phoenix," I said coldly. "If it weren't for her and the baby, I wouldn't have spared your life.If you dare show even a hint of rebellion, Brenda will be left a widow." I didn't care that I was being harsh. Phoenix needed to be warned. "I have accepted defeat.Rest assured, I will not try to rebel or anything like that." Phoenix lowered his head. "From no
Rayell's POV:Fortunately, despite Brenda's suffering, her baby was born safely. Elizabeth had been at Brenda's side from the moment she went into labor. I really admitted Elizabeth's choice to stand by her daughter despite the wrong choices she made.The past few hours must have been very stressful on her, because when I found her, she was sitting on a chair with one hand on her chest. It was not good for her to put herself into so much stress.I rushed over to help as I thought a bit of fresh air might do her some good."Mrs.Jones, let's go out for a walk.You'll feel much better once you get out of this stuffy room." I helped Elizabeth up and waved at Callox."You're right, dear.Perhaps I am getting too old for this, "Elizabeth agreed readily."You two women leaving me behind. Is that supposed to be so ?" Callox and I took her out on a walk just outside the hospital."Once Brenda's child is born, she and her baby, along with Phoenix will be exiled to the island as soon as possible
The Next Morning.In a moderate bedroom in the Green villa, Amelia Pearls was sleeping peacefully in weird position. Ringggg! Ringggg!The piercing sound of her ringing cell phone, on the nightstand, echoed in the room.She opened her eyes drowsily and yawned, stretching her hand to reach the nightstand. She peeped at the caller and a slight frown appeared on her face.What was he calling her for? she didn't remember the last time he called her. And now he was calling her.She slide her thumb on the screen of the phone to pick it up, and raised it to her ear." Go downstairs! " His cold, deep, and husky voice sounded from the other end of the phone." Why, what happ......." beep! beep! Before she could finish, the beeping sound of the phone echoed, indicating the caller had hung up.She removed the phone from her ear and stared at it with a blank expression. he didn't even bother to even let her finish, and directly cut the phone like talking to her was a waste of time.But wait a mi
RAYYEL’S POV"Dad, I am begging you, can you please don't go? I promise to be good and not disturb you, but please stay?" Tears fell in drops from my eyes as I pleaded in despair.My hands clenched on to his sleeves and I refused to let go.No.He can't leave me at the hands of that woman again.Not today.I really can't take it anymore."I have something important to do." He yanked his sleeves away from my hold and said to me in his usual calm tone while adjusting his tie without turning to look at me.it was so difficult to get this chance to be alone with him, but it seems it won't be of any use now.No way.I can't continue like this."Dad, please, You can't leave me at the hands of that woman, I beg of you." Distressed, I voiced out my inner thoughts and he gave me a sidelong glance with furrowed brows. "She is your Mother." He declared coldly and I shuddered at the ferocity of his voice.She was not my Mother.And she would never be my Mother."No....my Mother... died.
RAYELL’S POVThe sky was aglow with a radiant sunrise, like a warm golden blanket draping over the earth.The morning ray shone upon my face through my slightly opened window and I skellied my eyes open with difficulty.My head was banging and buzzing at the same time and I was pretty sure that my cheek would have swollen by now.If it was a normal she-wolf, she would have healed by now but my case was different.My physique was very frail and weak and whenever I get a wound, it would not heal on time like other wolves. So they find it interesting to inflict pain on me.It must also be the reason why I was looked down upon by the other she-wolves since I was young.Others, like Linda and the maids.They felt that I was inferior and there was nothing that I could do to change that fact, because I knew that they were right.My parents had tried to limit the ridicules and jests but when my Mom died, Dad stopped bothering about it and the ridicules increased and it became worse.I sta
RAYELL’S POVThe Alpha hummed at my Dad's statements and it confused me."Which day do you think is appropriate for the wedding?"Wedding?I looked at my Dad as he asked and my face changed drastically when it occurred to me.So, he asked me to accompany him so that he could match-make me and introduce me to the Alpha?My heart trembled at the realisation and I ran away from their presence. Dad's loud holler sounded behind me but I refused to turn back.How could he be this wicked?He was literally selling his only daughter away without battling an eyelid.Tears of disappointment rolled down my cheek as I ran, I could feel different gazes on my body but I do not care.And when I got to where Dad packed his car, I stopped.I had no choice but to wait for him, I do not know the way back home and our apartment was far to this place.Soon, Dad came out.He stared at me in rage and suddenly said, "You do not have a say in this matter, you will have to get married to the Alpha, whether
RAYELL.The Alpha smiled at my response and it helped me to relax my stiff shoulders. I had not even thought that this would be my decision at the end of the day.Agreeing to an arranged marriage. "You won't regret your decision, Rayyel." The Alpha said and I nodded at him, hoping it would be as he had said. But at the back of my mind, I already knew that it would not be so easy. It was the Alpha we were talkinv about, not some unknown commoner. The next minute, he called my Dad to come over, so that they could discuss about the mating date and the arrangements needed.I was caught off guard about the rapid procession of things, I had thought that the mating would only be in the next two months but I was wrong once again.My Dad came in not much longer and they started discussing, leaving me out of it and ignoring my presence.The Alpha would ask for my opinion once in a while but my Dad would protest with a strict voice."She would soon be your wife so she had to go with whateve
