Chapter: Chapter Sixty-Four Keeping SecretsThe party had ended shortly after Gabriel left, and Shane was done talking to him. We will talk long tonight, especially since he keeps secrets from me. First, though, we need to clean up the backyard, and then we can talk about it. Honey, I asked Shane if you would please help me clean up. Of course, babe, I cannot have you doing all the work in your condition. “What do you mean in my condition?” “Come now, babe, do not get mad?” “You know that it's almost time for the babies to go out.” “Yes, I know, but that does not mean I am helpless.” “I want to do something useful before the babies come.” “I know you, Maddison, but shouldn’t you be nesting?” “Hey, do not give me that look. It is what I read in one of the pregnancy books.” You are right. I should be nesting and getting everything ready for our beautiful girls coming in a few weeks. Are you admitting to me being right about what I said? I am not going to say that you are right or wrong. I was making a statement. Besides,

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-Three Shane and GabrielI observed Shane escorting my ex-husband out of the backyard. His expression suggested he might intend harm towards Gabriel. However, he is aware that he cannot afford to go to jail, especially with the babies on the way. It is noteworthy that they are all girls, which was unexpected. He will be a father to daughters, and we may consider trying for a boy. This decision will depend on his performance as a parent. Nonetheless, watching Shane with Gabriel gives me an uneasy feeling. Hopefully, nothing adverse will occur. Shane Look here, Gabriel. I do not know what you think that you heard about me having gambling problems when there are rumors. Well, my sources are reliable. I do not know who your sources are, but they are most certainly wrong. Besides, if there were any truth to those rumors, do you think I could not afford this house? No, you bought this with your gambling money. No, I did not. It shows what you know: I bought this house with the money I earned from my company. Awe

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-Two Party Crashed AgainThe person's throat cleared again, and then everyone turned around. I could not believe it with my very own eyes was my ex-husband, Gabriel. How did he find us? He was not even supposed to be here. I thought he would be somewhere drowning his sorrows. This man has been grieving ever since he lost his baby boy. Jason and Sandy looked shocked, just as I am. Looking at him now, though, I see that he is better. I cannot help but feel that something is off about him. It makes me uneasy that he is here. What is he doing here? Sandy asked me. I have no idea why he is here. More importantly, though, how did he know where I was? Gabriel walks up to me to offer me congratulations on the gender reveal. Well, Shame, it looks as if you will be a girl dad. I want to offer my deepest condolences. Why are you condescending, arrogant, and selfish, man? How dare you say something such as that? Shane will make a great girl dad. He will be their provider and protector to congratulate me on the gender r

Chapter: Chapter Sixt-One Gender RevealIt turned out that it was just a stuffed animal watching me. It certainly looked real to me. I waited a few more minutes until Maddison went back upstairs. That was close, and I cannot believe she did not notice I was there. Then again, she was half asleep going up the stairs after eating. Now, where was I going to put this tiny device again? Oh, yes, it is in one of the books that she hardly ever reads this time. She has so many romance novels it is hard to keep track of. However, I am surprised that her new husband has not seen her romantic novels. Then again, he has but just ignored it. Now, it is time for me to get out of here before they wake up and head back to my house. Maddison Shane wakes up, sweetie. Remember, we have an appointment today to see the Ultrasound Technician to find the sex of our babies. Just a few more minutes, please he tells me. The anticipation is palpable as we prepare for this momentous occasion. Come on, babe, the quicker we get this done, the faster w

Chapter: Chapter Sixty Almost Discovered Gabriel Whoa, that was a close one. I could not believe those two were getting close to seeing my disguise. That would have not been particularly good for me at all. I would have asked myself the questions they were asking if one of them was in a different disguise. I am sitting in my car waiting for the alarm person to finish that I hired for them. This is the only way I know I can keep track of how Shane treats my ex-wife. I could not believe that I dared to do something so stupid as to have an affair with my young secretary. Look where it has gotten me by thinking with my tiny brain instead of my big one. Maddison and I would still be together if I had not been thinking with my tiny brain instead of my big one. I would not have to resort to such measures to get her to forgive me. A wise person once said, “It is better to be forgiven than not to be forgiven.” I do not remember who said it; it was Ghandi, or it could have been my grandmother. My grandma Eleanor was an incredi

Chapter: Chapter Fifty-Nine She Looks FamiliarShane You know you do look familiar to her ex-husband. Are you sure that you two are not related? Oh, I am most certainly sure. I know you two have just moved in, but I wanted to ask how you like the place. We love the place, and I see Maddison’s face getting extremely red, like a tomato. Awe, Maddison, your face is ripe as a tomato Sam mentions while hiding her face. Does that mean the two of you had some fun last night? Yes, we had some fun last night I answered. Good. I am glad to hear that you both love the place. I tell him there is nothing as fun as getting some with the woman you love. No there is nothing wrong with that at all. I must be off now and let you get back to unpacking boxes. Thank you so much for stopping by Samantha, Maddison said. However, the next time you come by can you knock? It is no problem, and I will make sure to knock first I cannot help but get a strange feeling that we will not be seeing the last of her. I get the same feeling too; I said to, Maddis

Chapter: The Final Chapter Begging For MercyDuke’s P.O.V. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I looked up while holding my ex Sophia hostage. My mate was here, she smelled of Blackberries and Lilac roses. That scent was intoxicating, but I was so busy with her cousin that I didn’t even recognize the sign of her being my mate. That wasn’t until Alpha Lou said that he would not hurt me if I let his mate go. Even though I had a strong feeling that he wouldn’t keep his word. However, I let Sophia go anyway as she ran into his arms. Are you okay? He asks her. I’m fine now that I am back in your arms again. Alright, stay here for a moment, then the alpha begins to shift. That is when I knew that he was going to attack me. I waited for him to at least come and one of my limbs. It never happened though because when I opened my eyes while preparing for the worst. His cousin Stephanie jumped right in front of me. I have never been so grateful in my life, for a mate who is risking her life to be with me. She was defying the Alpha of her p

Chapter: Stephanie's Shocking MateStephanie’s P.O.V. When we got to the place to rescue my cousin’s mate. It smelled of dark chocolate and cookies. That is when I knew right then and there that the person who took our Luna was my mate. I had been looking for my mate since the Graduation and mating party. Now here we are, and we have to fight him just to get our Luna back. Of course, I could tell that Duke wasn’t that I was his mate. He was too busy convincing our Luna to be his chosen mate, that he didn’t even notice me. I was hoping that he would be able to tell that I was his mate. Then I remembered he probably couldn’t smell me if he was busy with Sophia. My mind was in a blur because even though he was my mate. We had to fight him just to get cousin’s mate back. I was too scared to tell my cousins and my brother that Duke was my mate. I knew that they would not approve of him being my mate, So, I just remained silent at this time. Then we had to fight the men that he sent after us. We did beat every last one o

Chapter: Rescue Mission Part 2Well, that is too bad because she is my mate. Please let me deal with him, he is the only family that I have left. Go ahead and finish talking to your son. Duke, I know that you have kidnapped the Pure-Blood Alpha’s mate. She doesn’t belong with you. How do you know that I have her? Son, they called me to try to talk you into giving her up. She also left a note on the back of the letter you sent her when you sent her the cookies. She wasn’t supposed to throw the cookies away, they were her favorite. Maybe she sensed something wrong with them, plus whatever you said in the note tipped her off. She is supposed to be with me, I want her as my chosen mate. You can’t have her, she is already mated. I was supposed to find my mate that night too, but I never found mine. Duke, you will find your mate. It just takes time, that is all. No one will take her away from me this time. Son, she is not yours to keep. Oh, I am not going to keep her, she will be my wife. That is going to happen ove

Chapter: Rescue Mission Part 1I wasn't doing good with my tricks trying to get Duke to let me go. However, he caught on to my scheme. Well, so much for that working. I know what you’re doing Sophia? It is not going to happen as long as you have your mates mark. Lou’s P.O.V.We have the piece of clothing that the guards came back with. I took one look and stuffed it. Yep, this belongs to the Luna. Slade do you have a scent? Yes, I do have the scent. Good now all we have to do is follow this scent, and should be there in no time. We need to head out at 0800 hours. Once we find the place, then we surround it. Isn’t there one other person that you need to call? Asked my dad. Dad, I have already called Alpha Zach, so he can try to get in touch with Count Dracula.I’m certain that he has, and the count will be here soon. What do you mean soon? I am already here. Where the heck did you come from? I came from Transylvania. I was vacationing there when the former Alpha called me to let me know my son had kidnapped his ex.

Chapter: Sophia Tries To Trick DukeWhat could be of the utmost importance? My dad asked. I don’t know Dad, but Slade says we need to get to her quickly. If that is the case, and it’s time-sensitive, we must do what your wolf has asked. I am just sitting on the bed in the room that Duke has put me in. Wondering if there is any way I can escape. However, he already said that there wasn’t any unless we wanted to fall to our doom. Sonia, what are we going to do? We can’t stay here, especially knowing now that I am carrying the next heir to the pack. Don’t worry, Sophia, our mate will come and rescue us. I know he will, then I can tell him about the pup. “He will be so excited to discover that will be a father.” “Does Slade know?” Yes, he knows and he hasn’t told Lou. Why not? “I asked him to keep it a secret.” That was before we got kidnapped by your ex-vampire boyfriend. No, he needs to know right now. This might be the push he needs to rescue me quicker. Alright, I will find a way to let him know. As if I haven’t prepa

Chapter: Strategizing A PlanWho the heck kidnapped my daughter? That was that Sophia’s dad, Daniel, had asked me. How am I supposed to know who kidnapped her? All I know is that she was up in our room resting because she wasn’t feeling well. Then Eric and I decided to go and train. Before we knew it, one of the guards came to me and told me that the Luna had been kidnapped. I felt like she was stuck with a needle because I was holding my neck while feeling the pain. Whoever, took her knew what they were doing? Wait, maybe she orchestrated this kidnapping just so we could like her. Seriously, mom, you really think that? Well, look who her father is? I said that I was sorry and regretted ever trying to kidnap you, Bailee. But, I know my daughter, and she is nothing like me. She has been trying everything she can to prove to you that she is a good Luna. You know he is right, honey. If she really did orchestrate this, wouldn’t she have done it sooner? How can you say that, Cameron? Look, babe, all I am trying to
