***Julia's POV***“Dad, please, I beg you. Can I talk to mom for just 20 minutes?”“No! Hell no! That evil witch is not your mother. If I hadn't known, I would have thought you were working with her. It seems she's the one trying to manipulate you into doing the things which you've done.”“Dad, I know mom has done terrible things, and she would be killed in no time. I also know she doesn't deserve a second chance, but all I ask is to see her for the very last time before her death. That's all I ask.”“There's no need to worry about her death.”I furrowed my brow, confused. “What do you mean, dad?”“What I'm trying to say is that she would not be issued death. But the punishment she would be getting would make her wish she was dead instead.”My heart sank as I stared at my dad. His gaze held no warmth in them. There's no doubt that my mom had hurt him beyond reasoning, and he doesn't seem like he'll ever forgive her.“Since she wouldn't be killed, that's more reason why I need to see
***Alpha Theo's POV*****A month later***I immersed myself in my work. I just wanted to punish myself for the things I did wrong. Moreover, I wanted to get her out of my mind, even for a moment. Ever since a month ago, I've been finding it hard doing so. I don't know what else to do to change her mind. A sharp knock on the door got me staring at the door.“May I come in, Alpha?”That was the voice of Chris. “Please come in,” I replied. Within a few seconds, he opened the door and walked in. “What are you doing?”“Busy,” I uttered without looking up at him.“Goodness, Theo, when was the last time you shaved?”“Shave? I've forgotten there's a word like shave. “I don't know,” I replied nonchalantly, without looking in his direction. “Goddess help us. Have you seen what you look like lately? You barely eat or shave. Rather, you immerse your tone into writing, which isn't bad at all. But then. This isn't what I want from you right now.”“Not what you want from me? Is there something
***Tihana's POV***It's been over a month now since I've been at my aunt's house. I had refused to go back to the pack, not because I hate everyone, because if I did, I wouldn't be at my aunt'sThe only reason I'm here is that the issue surrounding me, Julia and Theo has not yet been resolved. For the other matters, I'm not scared about those matters because I understand the reason things happened that way. I'm not that unreasonable to keep being mad at them when I know all what they did from the very beginning was all because of me, just to keep me safe. But the affair between Julia and Theo is something I just can't overlook. Though Theo comes to me and tries to get close, but then, my emotions set in, and it makes me not want him even though deep down I wanted him next to me. Our child was growing steadily. Sometimes, when he moves, I wish he was here, so I could show him just how happy his child was in my womb. But when I realize that he's not there. I feel a sense of loss whic
***Tihana's POV**I could hardly say a word, seeing Julia stand in front of me. I was trying my hardest not to let my anger get the best part of me because from the look of things, I might really lose it. “Why are you here?” I asked with gritted teeth. I tried my hardest not to look in her direction because I couldn't tell what I might do if I looked in her direction. “I know you don't want to see me anymore, but I had to see you. I know if I don't, I will never be able to live with myself."Her words were making. No difference in me. It only made me want to scream out at her, telling her to leave, but I'm not the type to play cool for matters like this. I would do the best I can to hold in my anger. “I have a confession to make. I would like to let you know that. You don't have to get mad at Theo anymore because he didn't do anything wrong.”“How dare you call him by his name.”“I'm sorry, It wasn't my intention to call him by his name,” Julia apologized at once. What is wrong wi
***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
