Chapter: Hundred and Sixty nine HAILEYEPILOGUECarter has been the best father to our daughter, Amelia. From the day he found out about my pregnancy, he had been nothing but caring.Every weekend, we always went shopping for baby items, even without knowing the gender of our baby.And when our baby was finally born, Carter's joy knew no bounds. Whenever Amelia cried at night, he'd ask me to rest while he fed her the milk and rocked her to sleep.He even abandoned the company for Xavier in order to be with me and Amelia. He was ever present and I didn't have any complain whatsoever. My only fear was that she'd grow up to be a daddy's girl and forget me.Carter treated our daughter exactly how I wished to be treated by my father. Everyday, when I thought I'd seen the end, Carter would come up with new ways of loving Amelia. I wouldn't be surprised if her first word was his name.After my rebirth, I had never thought I'd find love again. I had given up on it and planned that after carrying out my revenge, I'd start a

Chapter: Hundred and Sixty Eight CARTER"She's really grumpy and demanding but I love every second of it," I said, knotting my tie."I'm sure you do." Xavier replied, "I'd even mistake you for the carrying the child because of how happy and healthy you look," Xavier's comment made me laugh. He was right as I had heard the comment several times. A lot of people said I was enjoying the process of fatherhood way to much and my reply was always the same,"Becoming a father to Hailey's and my child was the best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire years of existence." Though the pregnancy made Hailey act up and become easily irritated with everything including me, I didn't mind. I loved every single moment of it and because of that, I now had a journal where I document each day of her pregnancy. Her food cravings, her likes and dislikes and so much more.Another thing about Hailey was that the pregnancy made her conscious of her body. She'd stand in front of a mirror and comment on how fat and out of shape sh

Chapter: Hundred and Sixty Seven CARTERHailey's behaviour left me worried as this was the first time I had seen her this way. After she threw up, I couldn't help but notice how deathly pale she looked and the fact that she didn't touch her food made me scared.I found it difficult to concentrate as my mind thought of several reasons as to why she looked pale. Perhaps was she sick with a deadly, incurable disease? Due to how deep in thought I was, I didn't notice when Xavier walked in, until he placed a document on my table and muttered, "Earth to Carter.""Oh" I looked at him, "When did you come in?""Not long ago," He replied, taking a seat, "What's on your mind?""Hailey," I replied."What about her?" He asked curiously."I think she's sick.""Why do you have that thought?""Because for the first time ever, she threw up and she looks pale," I sighed, "and when I asked her, she said it's that time of the month. I think she's trying to hide something from me," I placed my elbow on the table and rested my head on it

Chapter: Hundred and Sixty SixHAILEYMy relationship with Carter had improved considerable after the honeymoon proposal. We barely argued and we did everything together. He was the sweetest and the most perfect man for me. I had gotten used to his sweet side which he only used for me alone.Carter and I stood in the kitchen, which had become a regular witness to our intimate sessions. But that wasn't the point. We were baking a bread together for breakfast and we were waiting for it to be ready."Do you think it'll come out great?" I asked even though I already knew the answer. Carter was a great good and I envied him for that quality."Of course," He smiled, "Whatever I whisk up must come out delicious. Chefs kiss" He folded his fingers, brought it to his lips and kissed loudly.I rolled my eyes at him with a smile on his face, "Narcissist," I muttered."It'd be a waste to be this good and not show it off, you know that right?"I threw an ugly face at him and he laughed. "Don't tell me you're jealous?" He wrapped

Chapter: Hundred and Sixty FiveCARTERI stood and stared at the vast expanse of greeny before me.Xavier had told me before hand about Temmy asking me to lead her pack.I knew what she was worried about.Temmy was capable of ruling, but the fear of the Innocent people having to suffer if any mischief came up was the issue.I'd been thinking about it for a while and I decided to finally say it to Xavier.A combined honeymoon, Carter and Hailey, Temmy and I.However we'd have to leave that pack and although the peace was all settled, it'd still take a lot of arrangements to make for a trip like that. "Xavier,"I called from behind as he walked towards me."What are you doing here," I asked and shook my hands." Thank you for accepting Temmy's offer," he thanked and he gave a stoic response."I've something to suggest Xavier," I began and he turned to look at me Interestedly." What is it that you've in stock," he asked as I kept mute."A combined honeymoon," I said and he stood shocked before finally getting a grasp

Chapter: Hundred and Sixty FourTEMMYI lay down on my bed, reminiscing about the relationship between Xavier and me.I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts to no avail, they consumed me whole.I'd been thinking about it the whole day, our relationship, my relationship with him.It felt even more different after the incident that happened last.When he told me that he loved me, I felt my heart thump rapidly but it thumped harder when I saw him losing consciousness in my arms.A Small part of me wanted to stop but I couldn't, I struggled harder to stop the rampage Inside of me.But despite all this, he didn't stop holding, despite the chances that it could be his last chance of survival.A thought clicked in my mind, I'd marked Xavier and he had as well, but I had no memories of doing so.Love was sweet and I ran my hands through the mate mark on my body, smiling like a Cheshire cat to myself.The small date, little Jabments of PDA when we both hadn't confessed our feelings to each other, the thrill that came wit

Chapter: Strategize with ViktorCHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY FIVEGRAHAMZoey stood by the door with her arms folded and her jaw set in that stubborn way that always meant I’d already lost the argument even before it started.“You’re not going without me,” she said for the third time. “I want to see Lily.”“This isn’t a casual visit, Zoey,” I said, tugging my jacket over my shoulder. “I’m going to discuss strategy with Viktor. That’s not exactly a spectator sport.”She lifted her chin. “Then I’ll sit in the corner and keep my mouth shut.”“You? Keep your mouth shut?” I muttered, and her eyes narrowed.“Graham.” She whined.I sighed, rubbing the back of my neck. “It might not be safe.”“I was safe the last time we were there. Viktor’s not the enemy anymore. You said that yourself.”She wasn’t wrong. Still, my instincts were on edge. The rogues were getting bolder by the day, and Kelvin was still out there, watching and waiting but Zoey’s eyes were sharp with something stronger than stubbornness. It was worry and m

Chapter: A familyCHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY FOURZOEYI’d never felt fear like this.Not when I’d been captured, not when Graham had nearly died in my arms and not even when Viktor had taken me away from everything I knew.This? This quiet moment in our room, with Graham seated beside me on the bed, talking softly about border security and rogue movements, this was the most terrifying thing I’d ever lived through.Because I knew I was about to change everything.He looked relaxed, one arm resting behind me on the bed, his other hand playing idly with mine. He hadn’t noticed my silence yet, but he would soon since I usually chimed into this kind of matters but now, I wasn’t in the mood.I stared down at our fingers, how strong his hand looked wrapped around mine, how warm and real he felt beside me and I wondered if I was about to break something we’d only just begun to heal.I swallowed. My throat was dry. My lips felt like paper. “Graham,” I said quietly.His voice stopped mid-sentence, and his e

Chapter: Next time CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY THREEZOEYI sat on the edge of the bed, fingers tangled in the hem of my hoodie as I watched Graham pull a shirt over his head. The sun filtered in through the curtains, warm and golden, but I felt cold and completely restless.He looked over his shoulder and gave me a tired smile. “You’re sure you’re feeling better today?”I nodded. “Yeah. I’m much better.”It wasn’t a lie, not entirely. The nausea hadn’t hit me yet this morning but my heart still felt like it was doing backflips in my chest. The pregnancy test sat hidden in the drawer of the bedside table with two faint pink lines that had changed everything.I’d barely slept last night, lying in the dark and wondering how I’d even begin to tell him. What if he didn’t want the baby? What if this made everything more complicated than it already was?I cleared my throat. “Graham… there’s something I need to tell you.”He turned, his eyes narrowing slightly like he’d been expecting me to say something to

Chapter: The nightmareCHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY THREEZOEYI didn’t know when I fell asleep, only that it hit me like a wave, one moment I was curled under the blanket trying not to think, and the next, I was someplace else entirely.The dream didn’t feel like a dream at first.I was standing in the forest behind the pack house, barefoot, the air thick with mist. Everything was too quiet. Not a single bird or rustle of wind. The trees stretched endlessly around me, but I wasn’t cold. I was… waiting.Then, a sound, a baby crying.My heart leapt into my throat. I turned in all directions, trying to place it. It sounded distant at first, muffled, like it was echoing from far away but then it grew louder, desperate and frantic.I started running.My feet slapped against the forest floor, breath catching in my throat. I didn’t know what I was chasing or where I was going, but my legs carried me forward, deeper into the mist. Branches clawed at my arms, and something heavy pulled at my chest. I had to find

Chapter: Give her timeCHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY TWOGRAHAMZoey lay beside me, her back to my chest, curled under the blankets like she was trying to disappear into them. Her breathing was soft and steady, but I could tell she wasn’t asleep. Something had changed about her and she was bothered. I could feel it.She hadn’t said much since yesterday. Not after she got sick, not even after I tucked her into bed and sat beside her, quietly watching her face for clues she wouldn’t say out loud.Now, I ran my fingers gently through her hair. “You awake?”A pause, then she let out a quiet hum. “Mhm.”“What are you thinking about?”“Nothing,” she whispered.I didn’t believe her.I pressed a kiss to her shoulder. “You’ve been quiet since yesterday.”She pulled the blanket tighter around her like she was trying to protect herself from something. “I’m just tired.”I knew better than to push too hard when she was like this, so I nodded and let it go for now.We got up slowly, both of us moving like the weight of

Chapter: Pregnant?CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY ONEZOEYI didn’t sleep after Graham left. I just lay there, still curled up on the bed, the sheets twisted around my legs like a net. My body was warm from where he had been lying beside me, but I felt cold and restless in a way I couldn’t explain. Every time I closed my eyes, I felt like my thoughts were dragging me somewhere I wasn’t ready to go.I wasn’t okay and not in the way that a long nap or a hot meal could fix. Something felt… wrong.Or maybe not wrong but just different.Eventually, I gave up on pretending to sleep. I sat up slowly, pressing my hands to my stomach. It didn’t hurt, but it didn’t feel normal either. I had felt this way all morning. It was like an ache I couldn’t place, a churning that didn’t go away no matter how much water I drank or how deeply I breathed.My footsteps echoed softly as I made my way down the corridor. The pack house was still quiet, and I could hear faint voices outside, the warriors changing shifts, the stead
