" Why didn't you do what I asked?" Belinda asked."You can't threaten me." " I will do whatever I want to do and nobody will stop me. Try it I dare you. " " What do you want?" "You know what I want. Do it and we wont have problems." She replied. She knew he would. He owed her a favor and she planned on cashing out in real time. He wouldn't want everyone to know that he was involved in some shady deals. It would garnish his image and also destroy everything he had worked for. Then proceeded to call Damien. on the phone. Alpha Damien awaited the call from the council, and when he heard his phone ring, he picked up without checking the caller ID." Hello, Damien." " Its Alpha Damien to you." He replied. He would not allow her the liberty to call him by name.Belinda rolled her eyes and played along. He sounded irritated, like something was bothering him. She didn't want to think that she was the reason for his anger." Alpha Damien." " State the reason for this call." " I wante
Alpha Damien raised his head, "How did she know that?" Zeta shrugged in response, " It beats me. Do you think we might be telling the truth?" " We can't say yet. Did she say anything else?" Darius asked. " No. I think I should call her back." Zeta suggested. " No, she will call back. Ask her what she knows, and stop that tutor from coming." " Adrien will be so disappointed." Zeta sighed." He doesn't have to know. It's for the best. We'll find another." Damien replied. " Okay." " Keep an eye on Adrien's tutor." Damien told Daniel. He didn't need to explain the reason." Yes, sir."Damien scrolled through his phone and saw a message notification from Belinda. _Are you kidding me?_ He thought.It read, _I know that you do not want to see me anywhere around you or the family. But I have something to tell you. This is not a plot to return to the house. Although, I would like that very much._ _Say whatever you have to say._ Damien texted back. _It must be discussed physically._ Sh
" You are expecting a baby." Doctor Jude announced after reviewing her test results. "The scan also showed that your baby is healthy." He added. Zeta sighed, she knew she was expecting but didn't expect the pain she felt after speaking with Damien last night. Her lower abdomen hurt and it was almost unbearable. Jen stayed at her side. It was hell.She was almost tempted to tell Damien what she was feeling over the phone, but stopped herself. She wanted it to be a surprise. Adrien's pregnancy never troubled her this way, so she didn't know what was wrong with her. " Is that all?" She asked Dr. Jude. " Yes. I would not prescribe anything yet, because you are still in the early stage." " However, if the pain returns, please do not hesitate." He said. " Great. Do not let the Alpha know yet. I want it to be a surprise." She told him, knowing that he would inform Damien after she left. " Can I know the gender now?" " No, in two weeks time." He said. At that time, Zeta would be two
The couple continued to enjoy themselves. Alpha Damien fussed over Zeta like she was a baby making her to smile at his antics. Zeta squealed, " What are you doing? I can walk, you know?!" Zeta smiled. He didn't want her walking down the stairs for the fear of breaking anything. The reason was weird, but she obliged him.. "I was not active for Adrien's pregnancy, so I will like to be well invested in this one." He replied, holding her closer. Zeta smiled, he was very patient with her. She wanted to tell him that she was fine but decided against it. He seemed to be having a great time fussing over her, and she didn't want to discourage him. "That's nice. Can you guess the gender?" She asked." It's a girl." " How do you know?" She asked. " I know alright, I can feel her." He replied, and Zeta smiled. " Really?" She replied. " Yeah." He nodded. They lounged in the garden and Zeta sipped on a fruit juice while Damien sipped on his glass of scotch." Life is good, or what do you t
The pregnancy was a bit overwhelming for Zeta, and she began to throw up frequently. She thought that she was not going to experience that. " Sorry, baby. What can I do?" Damien asked worriedly. They were sleeping and all of a sudden, Zeta rushed into the bathroom and started retching. " Just pass me a roll of tissue." She said breathing heavily from the force used.Bile welled up in her throat and she groaned, not again. She thought. " Just leave for a bit. I'll be fine." She was irritated and didn't want him to see her like this. It was a wave and it lasted for twenty minutes. " I can't leave you like this." She glared at Damien, " It only lasts for twenty minutes. Get me a watch." She said and sat on the bowl of the toilet seat. " Okay." He replied and went to bring his wristwatch." Zeta locked the door, he was going to get worried sick for nothing. It was a normal occurrence in pregnant females. She was already two months gone, and it will soon be over.Damien returned and
The next day, Damien and Zeta went to Alpha Rahl's pack while Zeta won't to the hospital for antenatal. She used that opportunity to complain about the nausea and the hit from yesterday. She managed throughout dinner. Her stomach hurt like hell. She didn't want Adrien to feel bad when she complained about it. " What is wrong with me?" She asked immediately she climbed down from the examination table. She never had all these symptoms with Adrien.As is Dr. Jude heard her thoughts, he smiled, " Each pregnancy is unique. No symptoms are the same." He said." So, this is just a peculiarity?" " Yeah, you have twins growing inside of you." He replied, and Zeta began to smile." Congratulations, Luna." " Why am I just getting to know?" She asked after the euphoria settled. " Because we didn't see imtue second doestus the first time you came. The other baby blocked his twin." ." So I am having twin boys?" She asked. He said he was blocking his twin. " I thought you wanted to be surpris
Relieved by Belinda's extra one week chance, George felt a renewed sense of determination. He knew he had one more week to carry out her orders or else his hidden secrets would be leaked out and he had no choice than to start finalizing another plans in kidnapping Adrien. While enjoying her vacation although Alpha Damien was not with her at the moment, Zeta's phone suddenly rang, startling her. She glanced at the screen and saw that the caller was marked as "Unknown." Curiosity piqued, she hesitantly answered the call not knowing who called, she just had to answer because she was anxious. "Hello?" Zeta said cautiously waiting for the person to answer, A distorted voice on the other end of the line spoke urgently. "Zeta, I need to tell you something important" Zeta strained to hear the person's words clearly, but the connection was poor, and the voice kept breaking up and she couldn't even hear properly, She tried as much as she can to listen to what the person was saying but to no a
The persistent ringing noise made Alpha to finally look away from Zeta. He had purposed that if he looked and saw that it was someone unreasonable that person would have a piece of his mind. Imagine his shock when he heard a voice on the phone. " I know where your son is." The make voice spoke. Damien recorded the conversation immediately" Who am I speaking with?" He asked. The man looked at Alpha Damon who was also surprised at Damien's cold tone. " Am I speaking to Alpha Damien?" He replied. "No one knows who took my son. How can you claim you do?" Damien replied, and they were baffled at what was going on. They expected him to sound desperate and they will be able to make him an offer that he wouldn't be able to resist. Now it seemed that Damien didn't care. " I'll call you back since you are in a mood." The man spoke and waited a bit. Alpha Damien didn't say anything. He knew people like these. They just wanted to siphon from him and he will do well to treat them to a grea
Epilogue " Mom, Daddy says you should hurry up, he cannot wait to see you." A cute-looking Adrien smiled proudly at me. " You look beautiful." He said.I hugged him, "Thank you. You also look dapper." " I guess that means I look handsome too." He said as his brows creased in confusion. "Yes. You are so smart. Tell your dad I'll be down in a minute." I replied with a prouder smile. Adrien was growing so well. He was smart and resourceful and everything I hoped for. "Yes, Mom." Then he fished into his breast pocket, and brought out a gold necklace, " Dad told me to give you this." He said while handing it over to me.My eyes were misted with tears when I saw the inscription on the locket. " You are my forever, no one can separate us." " Why are you crying, Mom? Are you sad?" Adrien asked in a concerned tone."These are happy tears." I shook my head, he must have confused my happiness for sadness. Adrien cocked his head, and scanned my face for a few minutes before moving away, "
Damien's POV I scanned the letter and saw that the handwriting didn't quite tally. Moving into her room, everything was intact leading me to believe that she was taken. Coming out of the house, I shut the door and sniffed the air as the lingering Zeta's scent wafted into my nostrils. She must be around the area. I thought. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, her scent called me, and I walked according to its directions. I had almost walked a mile distance without anyone in sight. I sighed deeply as I continued my journey. I had crossed the expanse of my land when her scent got stronger but it was mixed with a metallic scent. Blood! Looking to the left, I saw a hidden shack, just before crossing to the next pack. It was in No Man's Land. A free pack where shady dealings go on. The predominant inhabitants were rogues and some evil wolves. I called Daniel to come quickly as a backup. " Bring some vehicles along," I ordered. Pulling out my gun from my back pocket, I rush in. No on
A hard crack of palm connected with Zeta's cheek making her jump wide awake in fright. Her vision blurred as she slowly regained consciousness. She was shocked to see herself in cuffs and an unfamiliar house. She saw Belinda's annoying face and groaned as she remembered how she was taken._Three hours later after Damien left, the doorbell rang and Zeta rushed to the front door, and opened it instantly. It was eerily quiet except for the slight whooshing from the early evening breeze and the soft rustling of leaves in the garden. Her maid was also nowhere in sight. She stepped outside with the thought that Damien was probably playing a prank on her which was her mistake. After standing for two minutes, she turned to go into the house when she heard an unusual rustling of leaves. This time, it sounded like someone was crushing dried leaves. The hair on her nape rose, and her skin broke out in goosebumps.__She turned and a plank was delivered to her head, causing her to go out like lig
Zeta was busy tending to the garden when a nurse came to inform her that Damien was around. She ran straight to the house and jumped into his arms. He grunted before twirling her around. " You told me that you weren't going to come!" She said in an accusing tone and he smiled. " I wanted to surprise you." He whispered into her ear. Zeta beamed from ear to ear as she stared at Damien, it was surreal to her that he was here in the flesh. Although they spoke for long hours on the phone, it didn't stop the longing that she felt.Tears rolled down her eyes, and Damien wiped it away." You don't need to cry, I'm here now." He patted her head." I know, I'm just happy to see you." The feeling was mutual." Me too. Let's go inside." Damien said." Look at the time. I'm such a bad host." Zeta exclaimed." It's fine," Damien replied. Their conversation spanned from afternoon till evening, as they had a lot to talk about. "What would you like to eat? I can make some pasta for you." Zeta sho
Zeta blinked slowly as she became conscious. The door opened Immediately, and a nurse walked in with a tray in her hand." Good morning, Luna Belinda. It's nice to see you awake." She greeted her with a pleasant smile. " Good morning, please where am I?" She inquired as she scanned the room. It was painted white. The door opened again, and Alpha Paul walked in. " Good morning, Zeta." He greeted her with a friendly smile on his face."Good morning, Alpha Paul." She replied in a hoarse tone, relieved to see a familiar face. The nurse rushed to her bedside and poured her a glass of water and she took a quick sip."How are you feeling?" He replied when he saw the curious look on her face. "Better, I guess." She replied and groaned while attempting to sit upright. " Easy there." Alpha Paul advised. The nurse assisted her to sit upright. "Thank you," Zeta whispered. " You're welcome, ma'am." The nurse replied and excused them at Paul's nod." Where is this place?" She inquired. " Al
Soon, it became a rowdy Alpha Damien's heart skipped at that statement, but he saw the determination on their faces, he knew that they couldn't be persuaded. They continued chanting loudly. He thought long and hard about what to say. One wrong statement, and he was at risk of rebellion. He wore an unreadable expression and shrugged nonchalantly. He raised an arm, and the pack fell silent. " Nobody is above the law, she went into this with her eyes open." Belinda's eyes narrowed suspiciously at the statement. Damien sighed, " As much as I do not want to do this I am still having a hard time wrapping my head around it. She has to be put to death." The crowd roared and high-fived one another in excitement. Damien felt somber but maintained a calm composure. He raised an arm again and they kept quiet. "That will be all for today, you can return to your homes. Have a good night's rest." He said and waited till they all left before rushing down to the cell.The high-pitched rattle o
Zeta dodged behind a large tent that was used for her celebration. Axel moved forward, and she held her breath when she heard his approaching footsteps. The pitter-patter of her heart increased to banging against her ribcage in apprehension. She hoped that she was not caught. Who knows what would be done to her? Axel stopped and Belinda gave him a fearful look. If this conversation got leaked to the public, she would certainly be punished.Axel raised his nose and sniffed the air. He noticed a scent coming from the tent.He pointed to where Zeta was hiding, and trod there stealthily, careful not to make a sound. After ten minutes, Zeta's leg began to cramp up, and she decided to check out what was happening on the other side. She raised her head slowly and screamed when she saw Axel pointing a gun at her." Rise." He ordered and she obeyed quickly. Her eyes scanned the garden to see if anyone would come to her rescue. Sadly, there was no guard in sight.Axel grinned as if he could r
" When will I be getting my payment?" Alpha Scott inquired." Can you not see that the plan didn't work?" Belinda replied. " The agreement was that I get my gold after the fiasco." " How was I supposed to know that he will not kick her out? Maybe if you were believable enough, then we will have no need for this quarrel." Belinda spat.Scott raised his brows in confusion, " Now this is my fault? A man decided to forgive his wife, maybe it's your plans that need reevaluation." He said.Belinda sighed, "I don't want to fight with you, Scott." " Then pay me what you owe me, very simple." He replied. " I will, I just need to figure out something." Belinda sighed." I want my gold delivered in a month." Alpha Scott replied and hung up.Belinda paced in her room, as she tried to come up with a stronger plan. If she didn't pay these people, they would expose her and this means annihilation.She scrolled through her phone and discovered a number. Axel; the leader of the rogues. She dialed
" Do not tell me that you believe this fallacy he is saying." Zeta pointed to the Alpha Scott." Well, now that It's all in the open, What do you have to say Alpha?" Scott replied.Zeta was frantic with worry at the expression on Damien's face, she hoped that he didn't believe this man. "What if I tell you that she is not going with you, what will you do?" Alpha Damien challenged, his head was messed up by the information but he stopped himself from acting irrationally." I will not go without her. Like I told these people, I am not here to kill anyone, I came here on her orders, I have proof." He said." Show me the proof," Damien demanded. Scott smirked, " I hope your fragile heart can take it." He whistled and someone brought a phone, "Listen to this." He played a call recording. " I am tired of being a Luna, sometimes I just wish I can run away from this place. Especially with Damien being so burdensome, he is creeping me out. They expect me to be a perfect Luna almost immediat
