Storm's POV"WHAT?" She shouted and I winced."I can't go with you because I have unfinished business here," I replied, she looked at me like I had gone crazy, which I had, I was crazy with anger."Why do you have to stay, explain it to me."" In a nutshell, I'm going to kill Adrian, after the hell he put me through, he dies by my hand and my hand only. I won't let another person kill him." I explained, Luisa paced the room and rubbed her temples."It will be safer if you go with me. I understand your need for revenge but won't it be better to be alive and well than to die because of your revenge." She said, Luisa looked like she was at her wit's end."I'll be fine, I can't let Adrian get away with what he did to me, I just can't." I was committed to my cause and there was no way she would be able to change my mind. She looked at me for a few minutes, contemplating, I could hear the havoc going on outside and I was sure that Noah and our pack were already fighting Adrian's clan. "F
Storm's POVThere was no time to think about the mystery behind my shift, Adrian was slowly killing Noah, he took his time and leisurely pulled out his spine. I rushed at Adrian before I realized what had happened, the strength I felt was nothing like how I felt when Luisa placed a spell on me.I didn't plan any form of attack on Adrian, I had enough rage and anger in me, and I let my lycan take over, she had been locked down for years and she had a lot of fury in her. I was faster in Lycan form, I arrived behind Adrian in a split second.I grabbed him, pulled him off Noah, and threw him at the wall, he hit his back and head with a loud bang then landed on the ground with a thud, I rushed at him, without giving him a minute to recover I jumped on him and let my claws run wild on him."You fucking bastard. You think you can kidnap me, severely torture me and get away with it, I'm going to send you to hell, the devil is going to be surprised at how you arrive, then I'm going to bring yo
Storm's POVThe room was silent, and both of us froze in shock. David stared at me and I stared back at him."Excuse me? What do you mean by I'm pregnant? I've just been held captive and tortured for days and I've also been involved in a ghastly accident. How am I pregnant and I am pregnant, how did the baby survive all that I've been through?" I asked David. He was short of words and took some minutes before answering me."I don't know but you're pregnant, about 3 weeks pregnant. If you're not convinced, we can do the blood test all over again or you can pee on a strip." He said, I wasn't convinced. But to be fair, three weeks ago was around the time I was in heat, it was very likely that I could be pregnant but I didn't want to believe it."I want to do the blood test and the strip. The result of this blood test could have been mixed up with someone else's, I want it done again." Noah called for a nurse who took my blood and handed me a pregnancy test strip. She fixed the blood bag
Storm's POVIf he hadn't done all the things he did, I wouldn't have encountered Adrian and gone through hell. "How dare he?" Dania jumped up from the bed. " That bastard, I should go into his room and rip out his spine. Adrian was doing us a favor and we didn't even know. How could he do such a thing to you?" Dania was always ready to fight but I was tired and I would rather sleep."So you mean he didn't even move at all, he didn't say anything, he didn't acknowledge you. Did he even look at you?" Queen Claire asked, she had a thoughtful look on her face, her eyes and lips were scrunched up.I thought about her question, Noah never really looked at me, his eyes had been downcast, and he acted as if I hadn't been there, like he didn't hear my voice."Now that I think about it. He didn't acknowledge me, he didn't say a word or he didn't look at me. That was what hurt me the most, the fact that he sat there and his mom and Amanda insulted me." " I don't know what to say but something
Storm's POVQueen Claire's sudden departure confused me and I was also worried about her. Tasha and Dania talked to each other and pulled up my blanket and turned to Luisa, I wanted to know more about the mysterious witch that had saved me. How did Noah find her? "Luisa, how did you and Noah meet? Are you guys close friends?" I asked her, she jerked in shock, Tasha and Dania stopped talking and focused on us."Yeah, I have also wanted to know, Storm's kidnap just took over my mind. My brother isn't one to make friends easily so I'm intrigued." Luisa hesitated, she avoided making eye contact with me and looked at the wall. "Well, we meet about thirty years ago at a bar in the human world, I worked as a bartender then, I served him drinks and we got talking, he knew I was a witch and I knew who he was as well. Long story short, we hooked up, and we had a fling for about a month before his psychopathic ex-girlfriend came and started acting like a stalker. I didn't want any drama so I
Noah's POV David had told me to take it easy on my feet but I didn't listen, I rushed to Storm and covered her mouth with my fingers before she could complete her statement. I felt a small twinge in my lower back because of my quick movement.She thrashed against my hand and bit it. I drop the hand and stepped back."Why the hell did you do that?!" She yelled at me. I stared at her in surprise."Why did I do that? Why the hell were you trying to reject me? Have you gone insane?" " No, I'm doing what I should have done a long time ago, I should have rejected you the day we might. I can't believe that I let myself be dragged into your disastrous life. I had rejected you earlier on, I wouldn't have gone through all this pain and trauma." Anger rolled off her and she shot daggers at me. The door slammed, and I looked back to see that Jasper had exited the house. He must have known that the conversation Storm and I were about to have wasn't going to be an easy one.*Storm, you can't reje
Noah's POVIf the ground could open up and swallow me, I would have been very happy, everyone froze at my actions. My eyes stilled on the semisolid contents of my belly on the ground. I didn't know what to do. This was one of the rare times when I was brain-dead. Queen Claire was the first to recover, her hand went to my cheek and she dropped a resounding slap there. " What in the Moon goddess' name is wrong with you?" She spat out. I hadn't been expecting the slap but I sure as hell deserved it."I'm sorry, it's just that I had too much to drink, your majesty, I'm really sorry, I deserve any punishment you want to give me." I bowed my head, Queen Claire growled but didn't say anything else. Jasper returned and showed her to the guest bathroom to clean up while I quickly went to make myself presentable." Now that you look like a coherent human being, I'll ask again, where is Storm?" Queen Claire asked, she was seated on the couch with her legs crossed. I sighed and braced myself f
Storm's POVI felt my heart pumping hard in my chest, it felt like I was running out of oxygen and struggling for breath. King Benedict and Noah had been quiet since Queen Claire started talking, I couldn't understand how they could sit there and listen to her spew this bullshit unless they believed it as well. A million and one thoughts ran through my head, it was impossible for me to be their child, I already had parents, parents who raised me and loved me. I've seen my birth pictures, I might not look a lot like my parents but their blood ran through my veins, and their DNA was encrypted into me."Your majesty, that's impossible, I have parents, I told you about them. My parents love me very much, I can't be your child. Let's say I am your daughter, why the hell will my parents steal your child, they are good people, the best. I will not have you spoiling their good image." I dropped my arms and made eye contact with her. Queen Claire shook her head, " Storm, don't take this the w
Ten years laterStorm's POV"Let go, it's mine." "No, it's mine." Identical sets of screams came from up the stairs, and soon the screams escalated to stomps and thuds, I took a sip from my glass of wine, waiting for someone to cry first before I climbed up the stairs to deal with them."Mom, aren't you going to do something about that?" I turned to see Fiona, she crossed her arms over her chest and glared at me, she was now a cranky fifteen years old and thought she was better than everyone. Fiona had grown beautifully in the last ten years, she was tall for her age, almost 5'8, her glossy red hair was pulled back in a tight bun, her lips were full and she had the eyes of a seductress. Fiona started calling me Mom when she was six and I remember how hard I cried the first time she said it."I'm waiting for them to draw blood." I glanced at Fiona over and couldn't hold the laughter that shot out of me.Fiona was dressed in a black crop top and short shorts with spiky black boots. Th
Noah's POVThe room had an eerie feel to it, the quickness and the stench of antiseptics made it worse. I walked over to Storm and held her hand. "David, is she fine? Is she hurt anywhere? Does she need surgery? Why is she still unconscious? " I rambled the questions out but my eyes were focused on Storm."She's fine, the impact of the choking caught off the air in her brain for a minute but she's a fighter and so is the baby. She'll be back home in a day or two." He said, my brain had only heard the word baby, what the hell was going on?"Baby, what baby? Who has a baby?" Was he talking about Fiona?David's eyes widened and he cleared his throat."Oh, erm, so I'm guessing you don't know. " He loosened his tie. " Storm is seven weeks pregnant, I don't know why she hasn't told you, she's known since she was three weeks pregnant." My chest ached and my eyes burned, Storm was pregnant and I was going to be a father. How come I didn't know, how could she not tell me?"Noah, are you okay?
Storm's POVThe doorbell rang, and Fiona and I made eye contact over the table, she shrugged and continued eating her pancakes. I headed to the door and opened it. Bianca stood at the other side looking like she had been in a catfight and lost."Hello Storm," Her voice came out raspy and I almost felt like offering her some water."Bianca, it's been a while." I crossed my arms around my chest and took a defensive stance. I was ready to fight her in case she decided to act mad."Can I come in?" She asked, her eyes downcast. She looked tired and worn out." It depends, are you here to cause trouble for me because if you are, I'm sorry but you can't." She shook her head, " I'm not. I came here to apologize." My eyes widened and I stepped back and she entered. I closed the door behind us. Bianca took a seat, I excused myself, and went to prep Fiona, she had finished her breakfast, I put the dishes in the sink and took her up to her room to play with her tab. I returned to the living ro
Storm's POVMom calmed down after a while and King Benedict interrogated my father about Maureen, our late pack doctor. In all my years of knowing that woman, I never expected she could do something like this."Did Maureen tell you who paid her to switch our babies?" He asked.Dad stroked his jaw, his arm around Mom, " I remember the name clearly, she called him Alessio. She said he was very powerful and rich." King Benedict laughed." Alessio, huh? Why am I not surprised? That bastard had been after me since we were born." I raised my eyebrows, confused." Who is he?" I asked."He was my twin brother. He was jealous that I had been born before him, making me the next in line for the throne, he always looked for a way to attack me but I didn't think he would scope so low to give me a dead child." Wow, what a hateful man." What are you going to do to him now that you know the truth?" Dad asked.King Benedict laughed again but this time bitterly. "I can't do anything to a dead man.
Storm's POVNoah explained everything to me about Fiona, I grabbed my phone that had brought me back to the room and left. Fiona rested her head on my lap and played a game on the tab that Noah had gotten her, I still couldn't believe everything that has happened today, I was still trying to figure out how to deal with my new identity then I find out that Fiona was my niece. Could this day get any more complicated?I ran my fingers through Fiona's red hair, I was glad that we were related, I looked at the little girl but now that the king and queen knew she was their granddaughter, I was sure there was no way they were going to let her go back with us. My Lycan growled at that thought, I had become overprotective of her and I didn't want to leave her.A knock came on the door, Fiona raised her head, "Come in," She screeched. The door opened and Noah came in, I turned away. Fiona rushed to embrace him and he raised her and twirled her around, she squealed with joy and he laughed as wel
