Nathan’s POVI sat up on my bed to hear about my test results. Jones was also in the room when Dr. Lucas arrived with the result. He handed the white paper to me, and as I glanced at it, I was unable to comprehend what was written, except for the words "positive" and "negative."Confused and frustrated, I turned to Dr. Lucas and asked him to explain the test results to me. He informed me that all the results indicated I was medically fit."Medically fit? But I collapsed," I exclaimed, a mix of anger and bewilderment in my voice as I stood up from my bed.My gaze shifted to Jones, who had insisted on bringing the doctor. I directed my anger towards him, raising my voice, "Didn't I say that I don't need a doctor? He was unable to find out what's wrong with me, claiming I'm medically fit."Jones quickly apologized, bowing his head. Dr. Lucas, on the other hand, went on his knees, seeking my forgiveness."Your Majesty, Dr. Lucas is the pack's doctor, and he has been in this profession for

~ Nathan’s POVI returned to my room angry and fuming. I was relentless as I paced up and down my room thinking hard about what to do next. Just then, I heard a knock at the door. I glared at the closed door and yelled at whoever was at the door to enter only if he or she had something important to say to me.Jones came in, he bowed slightly and then informed me that he had stopped the search on Isabella’s, just as I had asked.“Good. You should head home and get some rest. You've been searching for Bella for the past few weeks as well as attending to pack matters with me,” I said, softly.“Yes, Your Majesty. But if I may, I'd like to ask that you think about this very well. If you have another attack or become weaker, the same members of the council you're listening to will be the first people to go after you,” he said.“Enough, Jones," I glowered at him.“I’m strong and active and if you keep on saying shit about me being weak, I will take it that you are after my position and trea

~ Isabella’s POVIt was extremely late by the time I was able to complete my tasks in the kitchen. I had been under Lillian’s supervision and she had taken great pleasure in nitpicking on every little mistake I made. And even when I had completed a task successfully and perfectly, she still found reasons to berate and belittle me. I retired to my room looking half-dead. My body felt limp but painfully protested against what I had put it through both in the morning and after. Despite all she had put me through that day, I had been immensely grateful to Lillian when she had volunteered to serve Damien his meal that night. I knew she had only done that to prevent me from getting closer to Damien, but I couldn't find it in me to care. By then, I was completely convinced that I had pledged myself in marriage to a cruel and ruthless monster. I wished with everything in me that Alpha Damien would fall for Lilian's wiles and divert his attention to her. The thought of that happening brought

~Nathan’s POV“Will you explain what is happening right now, Claire?” I asked as I turned to Claire.Jones was still dazed and quickly collected himself when he heard my voice. He quickly sends Dr Lucas so that he won’t know what was going and with a bow, Lucas exits the room. Claire was still silent and then I shouted at her, “Explain what exactly is going on now!” She flinched back and then took to her knees begging for my forgiveness.“You still haven’t told me what I wanted to hear,” I said angrily.“I need answers to what Dr Lucas said!” I added.“I’m sorry, Your Majesty.” She said crying.She explained to me that had been in love with me ever since she was young but then she eventually found her mate a few months ago. Her mate was a wealthy man and from a neighboring pack and her father was so interested in his money that he hurriedly sent her to her mate’s house without a proper wedding.She wept as she continued, saying that her mate was a ruthless and wicked man. He always

~Nathan’s POVI woke up feeling dizzy and my head was pounding like I had been hit on the head with a stone. Dr Lucas was sitting beside me on the bed checking my pulse.“Are you okay, Your majesty?” He asked immediately, he saw me opening my eyes. Jones also ran to my side when he heard Lucas’s voice. They both helped me up and I asked them how long I was unconscious.“More than twelve hours, Your majesty. Your breathing and heart rate are stable at the moment but I can’t say if you won’t have another crisis later.” Lucas said.“Thank you, Lucas. You can return back to the infirmary.” I said weakly.He packed his bags and bowed before leaving the room. I looked at the time and it was past twelve.“The meeting.” I said as I stood up from the bed, charged towards my wardrobe to get dressed and informed Jones to call in the members of the council to have our meeting.“They were here this morning and I led the meeting on your behalf.” Jones said.I felt relieved and asked him what he t
