***Vanessa's POV***For days now, I've been thinking about everything that's been happening around me. Firstly, I don't have a mate, and I got pregnant with the child of my best friend. Not only that, I also lost the man I loved forever. Was this my fault? Could it be that all of this was all Punishment for what I did for Tihana?Things were getting harder and harder for me. My child needs more care than I had imagined. Now that I'm heading my dad's company, I have less and less time for my family. Though my dad was doing a perfect job looking after Areal, I can't help but think that he needs a bigger family and more people around him. But who are those people I should call? I wouldn't dare to call him. He doesn't know about his son. And besides, I know he was still hung up on Tihana, even when he knew he could never be with her. What about me? I can't even begin to explain how I feel. Everything was getting messier for me. The thoughts, hearing about the ups and down in the pack ho
***Vanessa's POV***Okay, now I feel so uncomfortable being with Adam and Jamie on the same table. What's wrong with me? I can't act this way in front of me. “Vanessa it's been a while you dropped by at the pack. Did you perhaps avoid the pack because of Theo?”“Huh? It's nothing like that. You are thinking too much about this.”“What? I am?”“Yes you are, Adam, Vanessa now heads her dad's company and as a result, she rarely has time for her friends anymore.”“That's not true. It's not because I'm that busy. I just have other engagements aside from work.”“Oh dear. You mean, Azrael.”Oh, goddess help me! I cast a death glare at Jamie, and that seemed to knock some sense into him.“Oops!” Jackie uttered. “Azrael…who's Azreal?” Adam asked, looking confused. “Did I just say Azreal?” Jamie asked, looking as though he weren't aware of what he had said. What the fuck! Didn't he know that he had only just made things worse? “You just said Azreal. I can't be mistaken about what I've heard
***Adam's POV**Getting to the pack, I thought of meeting one person. Though I'm the closest to Vanessa, there's someone else I know who can tell me what I needed to hear. I marched over to the training court, which I knew he would be by this time. “Hey, brother, you're back,” Chris stated, with a smile on his face. “Brother, I'm here to ask an important question. Do you have time?”Chris raised his brow at me, probably wondering what I'm about to say. “Seeing how serious you are, I can say this must be really important. I'm all ears, go on.”“Well, have you been in close contact with Vanessa lately?”Chris raised his brow at my question. I could tell that he's really wondering why I came up with such a question. “Well, compared to you, Vanessa and I aren't as close as you are to her.”“You're right. Vanessa and I are close but in. Recently, we haven't been as close as we used to be in the past.”“And why is that?”“I don't know. Ever since she came back after a year, I noticed s
**Alpha Logan's POV**“Alpha, don't you think this is a bad idea? I mean, I'm sure she wouldn't want to see you now.”“I have to, Gerald. Even if she would rather not see me now, I still want to go to her. I need to see her. My conscience will not let me rest until I see her. For years, I haven't dreamt about Selene until last night. She asked me to keep our child safe and make it up to her. When I woke up, I cried so hard, just like I did when I first heard of her death. “Okay. I know there's nothing that can stop you from seeing her anyway.”“Good thing you know this.”I walked out of my car and headed to the apartment. I rang the doorbell and waited for a response. I didn't get a response at first, and I rang a second time. Just then, the door flew open and Tihana came into view, looking all heavy. My emotions took the best part of me at that very moment. Everything about her was Selene. The moment she saw that it was, I could see her eyes go wide. There's no doubt that she
****Alpha Theo's POV***“Wait a minute, do you mean exactly what you just said?”“I can't lie to you now, Alpha. If you follow. All the footsteps I've told you about, I'm sure you'll be having your mate back in the pack before you realize what's happening. “If that's the case, then I'm going to do exactly what you've asked me to do.”“Knowing I can help you, has given me this joy that I cannot even begin to explain.”~It was a Saturday, and I believe it was the best time for an outing. Though I'm not a hundred percent sure that she would want to see me, I can at least try. I wore a casual outfit of blue, slightly faded jeans and a white T-shirt. I would rather not look professional but casual for my girl. Before going over to meet Tihana, I had specially sent for flowers. The type she likes the most. When I was done looking cute, I walked out of the pack of my mansion and into my car with the flowers in the back seat of my car. Getting to Tihana's aunt's residence, I quickly rang
***Tihana's POV*"*I stopped him from explaining because I couldn't help but feel all too embarrassed by his dirty thoughts. To worsen it. It made it get to me. Ever since the incident happened, aside from wanting him next to me while I slept, I really didn't think of anything else. But right at this very moment, I thought differently, especially when I heard his dirty thoughts. I had almost forgotten that I could be aroused as well. And that was the reason I didn't want him to continue with what he was saying. “I have a question for you, though.”“Please ask away. I'm all ears.”“Do you remember what happened the night between you and Julia?”Theo's bright face instantly turned gloomy, and I understood why. “Why? Don't you feel like answering?”“To be honest, my love. The only thing I remember was that I drank a lot that night, but for what happened afterward, I have no idea. It was almost as if nothing happened because when I woke up, I had no recollection of what happened. Not
***Alpha Theo's POV***I could sense longing in her eyes, just as I feel about her. I've come to understand that she was still mad at me, though I could feel that her anger towards me had dissipated. But just as Kira had advised, it was better I take the lead rather than wait on her. She was right, at a time like this I should take the opportunity to shoot my shot. Just as she stood up to leave, I decided to take the opportunity, but before I could go up to her, she suddenly slipped and was about to fall over the rock. I panicked but immediately went to her rescue before she fell on her back. I circled my hands around her waist and pulled her up. “Are you okay?” She stared at me with a frightened expression. I could tell that she had almost thought she was going to fall on her back. “Thank you,” she muttered. “You don't have to thank me, love. I've got your back,” I assured her with a smile on my face. While staring down at her while she was in my arms, the only thing that came
***Tihana's POV**I woke up and yawned widely. I can't remember the last time I had such a peaceful sleep. It was almost as if I hadn't slept this cool my entire life. I looked around me, only to realize that I wasn't in my room in my aunt's place. This room looked so familiar, it was almost like my room in the pack. I looked down at myself, only to notice strong arms resting on my stomach. I froze that very instant. It can't be. I already knew whose hands it was, but I did not want to believe that I was back in my room in the pack house. I slowly turned to my side only to see Theo sleeping soundly with his face in my direction. My goodness! What really happened? The last thing I remembered was that I was in his car and then, I felt sleepy, I shook my head. He took me back to the Pack when he noticed that I had slept. How naughty can he be? He could have easily woken me up and asked me if I wanted to be here in the first place. But then, I slept so peacefully. Could it be that
