I was furious with what was going on. We were being attacked relentlessly by the kingâs man and I learned through a liable source that Janice happened to be the betaâs mate and the bitch betrayed me. I was going to make her pay. I walked into my office where my loyal army leaders were sitting, waiting for me.
âSire,â they bowed in respect.
âThank you for coming,â I told them. â Any news?â
â They attacked a large group of ours,â My anger boiled and I slammed my fist on the table. Vaux, a general in my ranks faced the floor, he knew how important that time was because they were strong elite wolves that we took when we attack the Rooseline pack.
âHmm, what else,â I asked.
âI was thinking we should attack the Diamond pack soon,â another general said.
âI want Adira,â I said and they all exchanged worried glances.
âMy lord, we were thinking getting the Luna of the Diamond pack is not the wise thing to do now, yes, you might get power if we mark her but we donât know the consequences of marking her as she already has a mate,â General Chali said and the others nodded. I narrowed my gaze on the Idiots, they were all idiots. The sorcerer was sure if I marked an alpha female, I will be granted the power to take over all the packs. I will cage Adira down in my bedroom and use her to produce strong heirs.
âIâm not giving up on the idea of marking Adira Wade,â I gritted my teeth. They knew what I said was final. They might have put me in this position of power but I could have them killed.
I needed a plan on how to get Adira, I already have three men that are working in the palace under my command. I smirked, thinking soon, Iâll have the alpha female all to myself and will mark her. Power will be mine.
I dismissed everyone and stood against the window, watching thousands of my warriors train. It took a long time and effort to gather this many men but I did it by attacking designated packs and kidnapping them. I brought them to this secret pack where we wouldnât be found especially with a powerful croaking spell around it.

I put his hand on my stomach and a huge smile broke on his handsome face when he feels his son kick.
âHeâs so strong,â he beamed. I nodded and lay my head against the car massage pillow. Chance and I were coming from the hospital.
âAre you hungry?â he asked,
âYes,â
âWhat would you like? Iâll ask my hotel to make it for you,â he said.
Ever since Chance entered my life, it has changed for the better. He makes me feel safe and cared for, even though my family abandoned me like the rest of my friends.
âAnything good except fish, it makes me barf,â I told him. He nodded and ordered someone to make something for me. We arrived at my building, and I frowned. I didnât want to go in there, as lavish as it was, it got a little lonely.
He opened the car door for me and I stepped out,
âDo you want to come in?â I asked, hesitantly. He thought about it for a while and my frown deepened, waiting for a rejection but he surprised me by nodding.
âGreat,â I said.
Chance looked around the penthouse, nodding. I wore my house slippers and asked if he wanted anything.
âIâll help myself to some whiskey, donât worry,â he said, pointing to the small bar.
âDrown in it,â I said.
âShould I bring you some tea or juice?â he asked me.
âNo, thank you,â
We were serene together, he was drinking while we listened to lovely music.
â¦
I stirred awake and stretched my limbs. â How did I get in here?â
I check the digital clock and it says; 09 am. I must have fallen asleep on the couch and Chance brought me here. I got out of bed and rushed downstairs, hoping he was there but to my dismay, he wasnât.
I grabbed my phone to call him but itâs not him who answered.
I grabbed my phone to call him but itâs not him who answered.
âHi, Rachel!â I rolled my eyes at that voice.
âParis, I didnât know you and Chance share this phoneâ I hated that she always answered his calls.
âHaha, funny. Chance is still sleeping in my bed so I answered it,â she said, and my heart dropped in my chest. Why did I feel hurt hearing that? He was not mine, he only treats me well because of the baby.
âI can take a message,â she said.
âAn assistant too,â I said sarcastically. She snorted.
âThatâs me, everything my fiance wants me to be,â
Every time I saw her, she made it a point to tell me that she was the FIANCE, and I was no one to him, only the woman he knocked up. Paris made these passive-aggressive jokes, but she was serious.
âDid you want something, Rachel Tarion?â she asked, this time, she couldnât hide her annoyance.
âNo,â I said and ended the call.
I sat around the whole day alone, bored out of my mind and I missed working but with my due date approaching, I couldnât.
I did some exercises recommended for me and watched a movie.
The following days were the same, Chance called me three times a day to check in but I wished heâd come here, instead of calling or sending one of his family members to keep me company.
âHow are you doing?â He asked, my heart fluttered, and I felt giddy just hearing his voice.
âIâm alright, just a little bored,â I answered. And I miss seeing you, I wanted to say but opted for; â I think the baby misses you,â
âmm, baby loves daddy,â he said.
âYes,â Who wouldnât, Chance was everything good in the world, and so easy to love. I still couldnât believe I was such an a*s to him.
âIâll come tonight then,â he said and I almost squealed but composed myself.
