~Zella~

“Why? Why are you so eager to leave the room? Do you want to avoid answering all my questions? Are you afraid that your lies will be exposed?” he asked, pressuring me to reveal the truth.

I heaved a sigh. “Alpha, as much as I wanted to continue our conversation, I have to go back to the carriage because I’m not feeling well. I’m still reeling from the trauma I was subjected to during my kidnapping. Last night was very traumatizing for me. I nearly died. If not for the Moon Goddess' help

  • The Alpha's Poisonous Wife   44. Too Kind

    ~Zella~I looked at Maya. My eyes widened in shock because no matter how many times she tried to hit my head with the hammer, she couldn't inflict pain on my head. The hammer just bounced off as if my whole body had turned into rubber. I suddenly had a weird feeling that my body was wrapped in an invisible barrier, an invisible shield that couldn't be seen with ordinary eyes.How could it be?What the hell is going on?Tired of using the hammer, Maya kicked me in the stomach but the same thing happened. Her kick didn't land on my belly.Am I dead or what? Why can't Maya's attack land on my body?“What did you do? What power did you have? Why can’t I hit you?” Maya asked, her eyes blazing with a mixture of annoyance and confusion as she tried to deliver a punch to my stomach.Still her fist didn't hit my stomach. I’m beginning to enjoy her shock and discomfort.“What the fuck is going on? Who the hell are you? What kind of black magic is this?” Maya asked in utter bewilderment.‘Should

  • The Alpha's Poisonous Wife   43. Something Is Wrong

    ~Zella~When I reached the room, baby Dennis was crying and Amy was panicking. They had difficulty breathing. I quickly pressed the dried leaves into my nephew’s nose, and he stopped crying. I handed the other two to Amy. "Press it on your nose!” I commanded. She obeyed and started breathing normally again.“Don’t leave the room and keep the dry leaves near the baby’s nose so he can’t inhale the poison. I will try to find out where the poison came from. I’ll come back as soon as I can,” I ordered.“Copy Luna,” Amy replied, still visibly shaken.I rushed to the door and left the room. I descended the staircase in a hurry.I saw Maya holding dry leaves in her hands. “Luna, I have already distributed the miraculous leaves to the servants.”“Good,” I said in relief and ordered her, “Now go find me a hammer! We will find the poison. If we can’t find it, there will be more deadly attacks later on.”“Copy Luna,” Maya said and went to the storage room. A few moments later, she returned with t

  • The Alpha's Poisonous Wife   42. What's Happening?

    ~Zella~I looked outside the window, trying to say goodbye to Zion temporarily. I shall return here to search for him if my sister's problem is already sorted out.I fell into deep silence, as I dealt with my chaotic emotion.I noticed that we were getting closer to the massive iron gate of the palace. There are a few carriages ahead of us. They seemed not to be moving at all.What's going on? Hmm, looks like they were held for inspection before they were allowed to leave the palace gate. Looks normal to me, palace rules I guess.But the carriages are not moving at all and the iron gate is not opening up for anyone to pass. Something is going on!Our driver got off and asked me what to do. "Luna, shall I inquire about what's going on?" He asked for my permission."Yes please. We will wait here," I said.I watched the driver walk ahead.Suddenly I felt anxious. A twisted feeling in my stomach.The driver returned and said, "Luna, we have to wait for a long time if we want to pass the g

  • The Alpha's Poisonous Wife   41. Goodbye

    ~Zella~I'm sure he would be furious. He's not going to take it lightly. My sister's life is truly in danger and there's nothing I can do to protect her. Wait a minute...Why is Alpha Declan not back yet from his meeting with his father? I want to talk to him before I leave his house. If I can convince him to accept my plan, I won't have to follow my sister's orders anymore.I glanced at the main door of the house. Where are you Alpha Declan? Please come back soon! I pray fervently.Maya and another woman come down the stairs, carrying two bags each, the baby's clothes, probably."Luna, this is Amy. She is the baby's nanny," Maya introduced the woman to me."I'm happy to assist you in taking care of baby Dennis, Luna," Amy said, bowing her head in a sign of respect for me.I smiled. "Nice meeting you Amy.""Luna, please come with me upstairs. Luna Venus wants to talk to you in private about baby Dennis," Maya said."OK," I responded excitedly. We climbed the stairs and arrived at my s

  • The Alpha's Poisonous Wife   40. Your Life Is Important

    ~Zella~Where is Zion's wooden cage? The last time I saw it, it was on top of the bedside table.Feeling anxious, I left the room and called my maid. "Maya, where are you?" I asked, looking for her. I found her at the back of the house, pulling weeds from the ground."I'm here, Luna. Do you need anything?" Maya asked, her hands smeared with dirt."Did you clean my room while I'm in the garden talking to Luna Venus?" I asked in a mild tone, observing her face closely."Yes. I did some quick cleaning there," Maya replied calmly."Have you seen a wooden cage? I can't find it. It's missing from my room," I told her."Ah, the wooden cage. I put it on the table in the kitchen after cleaning it because it looks dusty, and some cobwebs have already started to appear on it. I find the cage cute. I thought, if you don't want it anymore, can you please give it to me? I plan to buy a little bird from the market outside the palace. I need a cage for it," Maya said casually.Huge relief washed over

  • The Alpha's Poisonous Wife   39. I Give Up

    ~Zella~I could feel my sister's desperation, her suffering and her struggle. I really wished to help her solve her problems and share her burden. But she wouldn't let me in on her deepest secrets. "I want to help you. Let me help you. Let me stay here at your residence. We will face your enemy together," I insisted, still refusing to leave her alone in her impossible fight."No." Becca shakes her head gloomily. "No matter what happens, they can't find out you are my sister. I can't drag you to hell with me. If you really want to help me, the best thing you can do is protect my son and leave this palace today. If you do that, I will have fewer people to worry about."I took a deep breath, feeling conflicted inside. I want to remain here in the palace to continue searching for Zion. But now my sister is in a difficult situation, but she doesn't need my help. I have to help her somehow."What is your plan? Do you already have a plan?" I asked."Yes, I did. But I'm not going to tell you

    ~Zella~I walked calmly towards the iron gate. The gate that protected our pack from the outsiders. I was deeply worried about Martha. She must have taken all the blame and was the receiver of the men's rage. Too late to realize my mistake.Sigh.When I arrived at the gate, the men had their weapon

"No. I'm not interested in becoming your concubine. I want to be the Alpha King's concubine. That's my final

    ~Zella~Alpha Declan snorted, ignoring my poison claim. He thinks I might be bluffing, right? How could I have poisoned my own husband? In his mind, it's hard to believe.A muscle in his jaw twitched. "Ready to surrender? Are you sure? My emissary told me that your husband appeared hostile and want
