It has been a month since Hayden started looking for my parents; it has been from one dead end to another. There was no picture of any of them, so no one knows for sure what they looked like. I was reluctant at first, but right now, each dead end hurts as badly as a fresh cut. I asked Hayden to stop looking a couple of times, but he won't hear of it; according to him, if it's the only thing that he does, he must reconcile me with my parents. Maybe that is one of many reasons I'm falling helplessly in love with him. It was a cool night, and I was having some me time in the sitting room watching a TV series while sipping water. They said the first trimester was the worst, but I think whoever said that never experienced past the first trimester, because the second trimester is slowly killing me. I practically find it hard to sleep these days, and I can't seem to keep my food down; it just comes right up immediately I'm done eating, hence why I'm sipping water and not some freshly p
AGNARS POVEver since the poison incident, I have been kind of careful with Celine. Gertrude was right about something, though. Celine was the one who tried killing me before, and she did it yet again, but then why did she commit suicide over something she didn't even do? The more I thought about the whole scenario, the crazier it drove me. I immediately got tired and decided to go have some coffee before I loose it, but decided to go for a cool water instead. I gulped down the water in a go when I remembered what I saw on the phone: she hid in the drawer. I couldn't finish what I was reading before she stepped out of the bathroom. I quickly shoved the phone into the drawer and lay down, pretending to be asleep. I give it to her; she is great at acting. For someone who poisoned my drink, you would expect her to show some animosity towards me, but no, she even wanted to fuck me. "I'm dealing with a sly, killing fox with no conscience."I need to know who she is working with and
AGNAR'S POVI stood over her body on the floor, wondering how she turned out this way. We were friends even before we became lovers, or maybe it was all in my head. Maybe I'm just the one who saw her as a friend while she saw an enemy; I couldn't take my eyes off the bitch lying on the floor beneath me. I quickly bent over, lifted her, and threw her over my shoulders. Heading towards my quarters, I made it to my room, and placing her on a chair, I quickly tied her up. I laid down on the bed, waiting for her to wake up and answer the tons of questions going through my mind right now. I quickly went into the cupboard and brought out the phone she was hiding in there. I pulled out the stack of letters she was hiding under the pillow, and the bottle of poison was stashed in the wardrobe. I placed it all on the couch while I waited for her to wake up. They said patience is a virtue, but I agree that patience is not my forte. When I could not take it anymore, I went into the bathroom a
CELINE'S POVI could remember vividly how things were with Tomas before I came back to Crystal Lake Pack. I loved him with every fiber in me, but that bastard wouldn't return the feeling, he always had a different thing in mind. He has always been a prick and has always been secretive. I was surprised when he came up with his stupid proposition. I refused at first when he mentioned it, but that sneaky bastard talked me into this bullshit. He promised me heaven and earth; he said he would make me the queen that every woman would envy me. "How gullible," I planned his disappearance from the pack house, and finding a body that looked just like him wasn't that difficult. I should have known something was wrong with him when he killed someone in cold blood, disfigured the face, and burned the body just to stage some stupid accident. But my greed got the best of me; I stayed behind and mourned him, then picked up my stuff and went back to Crystal Lake Pack. I called him the first day
It has been a few weeks since we found my parents, and I have been loving each day. Every single damn day has been nothing but bliss. I guess they are trying to make up for what they did. Anyway, I was glad I could give my unborn child the warmth of a big family that I never had. And the care of her grandparents. I don't want to come off as paranoid, but I can't shake off this feeling that we would pay dearly for being this happy. I don't know if I have lost it, but I have this unshaken feeling that the worst is yet to come. I got back from my doctor's visit with Mom. Hayden had some important meetings out of the city, and I had to go with Mom for moral support. "Honey, is everything okay?" Dad asked, immediately we both stepped into the house. "I'm fine," Mom said, walking and falling onto the couch. "You don't look so well. Did something happen?" Dad asked. "She cried a lot during the ultrasound," I said. "Oh dear, the baby must have been so cute." Dad went ove
UNKNOWN POVThe more I think about the incident that night, the more crazier it drives me. How could I possibly not have the tiniest clue that Hayden was going to burn down my agency? My incompetent men should have informed me ahead of time. Anyway, the deed is done, but I wouldn't let it lie; I will make him pay for the pain he caused me. I thought about coming all out and declaring war on him, but I know that bastard. I don't want to give him an edge over me. The secrecy of my identity alone would drive him mad. I heard from my man that he is secretly investigating me; he doesn't want to get his mate worried because of her condition. Hayden has always been a man with so much to lose. I just need to get this right this time around, and I will take over every single thing he cares about. I found the perfect cover, and I'm going to stick with it till my work is done. I checked my time, and it was a few minutes past 12. I picked up my jacket and was about to leave the store. "Hone
I woke up the next morning to find out that the house was swarming with guards. From the look of things, it seemed like they were well-trained. I had no idea what must have happened; I wondered if we were attacked while I was asleep, but the house looked fine. I came downstairs, heading to the kitchen. I walked by Mom's room; it was open, and she was sitting on the bed sipping some hot chocolate while going through her phone. "Knock, knock," I said, standing at the door. "Honey, you are awake. Wait, why are you up so early?" she asked. "Am I?" I asked, then glanced at the clock on the dresser. "Did I miss something?" I asked, pointing at the guards. "I don't know, but I think something happened; they came yesterday night," she explained. I must have been in deep sleep to even notice; I had no idea when Hayden came in yesterday or when he left too. I guess the whole drama yesterday must have taken a toll on me. That reminds me, Sheila has some explaining to do, like why on ear
AGNAR'S POVI stood over her, watching as she died, but left when I couldn't take it anymore. Celine might have done so much evil, but she was my best friend. I began blaming myself for turning her into the monster that she had become. Maybe if I had cared more about her she might have turned out better, but I was so consumed by my problems that I never looked her way for a second. I walked out of the room in pain and almost in tears. There must be something wrong with me; I just end up either killing or kicking out every single person who ever loved me away. I could feel my heart break in two when I shut the door; my eyes became wet, and I was pained by her death. I sat on the floor with my back to the door, reminiscing about my past with Celine. The memories were so clear that they flooded my head like they were just yesterday. I remembered meeting her at the pack school that year; she was still with her parents, and I was the hot Alpha's son whom everyone was gushing over. I
