Since that night, I have become accustomed to Alpha Jared's presence in my bed. I even felt that something was incomplete if he hadn't appeared in the room by the time I went to sleep. I would get restless and want to catch up with him. However, I didn't have enough guts to do so.

Our first few nights went so well. I slept, and Alpha Jared held me. It worked to chase away my nightmares. Maybe it was because I felt safe until something out of control happened one night. I don't know who started it, but the topics we discussed became increasingly intimate when we chatted at bedtime.

"Haven't you ever been in love?" I asked at that time.

"I have." Alpha Jared answered briefly.

"Who? I've never seen you with a woman." I followed up with a question.

Alpha Jared looked at me. His gaze was deep, locking on my eyes. I couldn't look away, feeling like I was being sucked into it, like something was holding me back.

"You," Alpha Jared replied after a few moments of me drowning in his gaze.

Me?

    I woke up in Alpha Jared's arms. I have no idea what was in my head last night, but we did it. It was the first time in my life. Making love to a man who was the same age as my father was something I never thought was possible. But I found comfort in his figure, no matter how far apart in age we were. I felt safe with him, even when I was sleeping with him."You woke up first," Alpha Jared joked.I was too focused on what was happening to notice that Alpha Jared was up, too. "Am I bothering you?" I asked, tugging at the corners of my lips."Not at all, Vic," Alpha Jared replied, stroking my head and kissing it. "Do you regret it?" he asked.Knowing where this question was going didn't take an intelligent person. I wouldn't lie if I said I enjoyed it, but I regret it.It's a bit of a mystery.I rested my head on Alpha Jared's chest. I felt a nagging feeling. I feel a bit guilty, but I have no idea what for. Guilt for who, Ace?My inner goddess laughed bitterly. Even Ace doesn't care ab

    "They are doing fine." The doctor looked at the screen as he moved the transducer on my abdomen. "Did you hear that? The heartbeat is normal," he continued. There was no sign of deterioration in my baby's condition when the ultrasound was done. It was strange. They seemed fine, and I could hear their hearts beating. "But why aren't they moving?" I was worried. The doctor placed the transducer on the place and wiped the cold gel off my belly. With a slightly furrowed brow, he looked at me. "Have you been stressed lately?" he asked. "Stress?" I couldn't bring myself to ask. "Yes. Or maybe shock." The doctor got to his feet and walked over to his desk. "A mother's mental state can greatly affect the baby. Your babies may not move because the mother is in a state of shock or stress," he explained. I straightened my clothes, and Alpha Jared helped me get up. I got out of bed and followed the doctor to his desk. I sat curiously in front of the doctor. I started to think. Last night wa

    Alpha Jared forcefully opened my bedroom door."Vic!""Help me, this is killing me!" I whimpered.Alpha Jared grabbed my arm and helped me sit on the edge of the bed. I held on to his strong arm, maybe even clung to it; I wasn't sure. But I didn't care. I just wanted the pain to stop."What happened?" asked Alpha Jared."I don't know. My stomach hurts like hell," I replied."Are you going into labor?" Alpha Jared looked at me worriedly, and I gave him the same look."But I'm not in labor yet," I said.I was only 34 weeks pregnant. That was way too early to go into labor. But my belly felt very tight. Was that called a contraction?"Let's go to the hospital," Alpha Jared interrupted.Without thinking, Alpha Jared picked me up. He carried me out of the room. By then, the pain in my stomach had subsided. I don't know why it came and went.When we reached the first floor, I heard a commotion outside. Screaming,

    What the hell is Natalie doing in the mansion?The first question came to mind when I saw Natalie. The last time I saw her was when she and Alpha Jared fought. Why would she come here again when the hunters are attacking? Is Natalie one of them?"What are you waiting for? Come with me!" Natalie shook her hand."No!" I shook my head.How could I trust someone who threatened me?Natalie clucked."I won't hurt you. Hurry, they'll see us," Natalie flattered, looking at the fighting men."I'm not going with you!" I refused.I couldn't risk my babies by following this woman.I saw Natalie's face harden as she looked behind me."There's no more time." Natalie looked at me. "I'm sorry, but I must do this," she said.Natalie's movements were very quick. I didn't even have time to dodge when she suddenly hit my head, and everything went dark.***I could vaguely hear the sounds of people giving each oth

    "She lost a lot of blood.""We're werewolves, remember? She'll get better. You don't have to worry about that.""I know, but what if she dies before she gets better?""She won't. She has Salvatore's blood in her body. If she wants, she can be even stronger than me. She won't die that easily.""I hope so. Because it would be very inconvenient if she died before he came.""Take it easy.""Hey, you hurt your head too. It needs some stitches."I'm fine."The voices of the man and woman chatting were faint in my ears. I knew that I wasn't alone here. But my eyes were t

    ~Ace~Natalie contacted me some time ago and said she had arrived at the place we had agreed upon—an old house on the forest's edge. Natalie mentioned the area in detail, so I found it easily."Is this the place?" Ben asked as he turned the car into the yard.The dim light seemed to illuminate the inside of the house, while outside, it was dark except for the moonlight. I saw a van parked on the right side of the yard. The car's body, damaged in several places, assured me we were in the right place."Yes, we're here," I answered and opened the door.As I stepped onto the ground, I felt my heart skip a beat. The smell of wet earth pierced my nose. I took a deep breath, and I could feel it. It's such a strong smell that I miss it so much.I swayed my feet, stepping on the damp earth beneath. My eyes dart around. I cannot let my guard down. Danger could come from anywhere. Jared Waltz might have gotten to this place first. So I had to stay alert.Before I reached the door, I saw someone

    During the trip, I didn't see Victoria rebelling. Instead, she cried more as she kissed our babies and looked at them with admiration. I didn't know what to say to her. So, I just let her be."Ben, we're on our way to the hospital!" I commanded.After we crossed the town line, I thought about taking Victoria to the hospital. Her wounds needed treatment."Okay, Alpha," Ben replied.I glanced at Victoria. She didn't seem to care where the car was going. She didn't even say anything about taking her to the hospital."Your wounds need to be treated," I said then.Victoria, who was kissing one of the babies, raised her face. She turned to me with a cold expression."I don't give a shit," she said.I turned away from her. This girl was constantly trying my patience. I only meant well for her by taking her to the hospital for proper care. But look, what was her reaction? Stubborn girl!I had nothing more to say until our car entered my territory. I'd rather ignore Victoria and look at the da

    ~Victoria~Ace didn't use his alpha voice, but his loud, wall-shaking voice immediately silenced me.Jared is going to kill me and my babies?That's bullshit!"You sound like you're talking about yourself, Ace!" I snapped.Did Ace think it would be that easy to fool me? He spoke as if he knew what was happening, even though he wasn't there."I know who you are, Victoria. And why they're hunting you," Ace hissed.I was surprised to hear him say that. Did that mean Ace knew I was a Salvatore descendant? Did he know about the hunters?I snorted in disgust at the sight of him. "Whoever I am, I have nothing to do with you." I snapped."Of course you do! You're my mate. Whether you like it or not, whatever happens to you always has something to do with me." he retorted.I turned to Ace and squinted at him."Mate? Really? You never thought of me that way." I looked him sharply in the eye. "You only thought of me as your slave, didn't you?" I continued, digging into his memory of what he had

    ~Rose~The party began. Bonfires were lit, and music played. Everyone was happy. Beer and venison were the main dishes. Everyone partied, danced and enjoyed the beer. That was for the adults. For us children, they forbade us from drinking beer and gave us fresh lemonade. There were only a few children in the pack. While I struggled to adapt to this new place, Rylee was already familiar with the other children. But it didn't matter. I could handle it."Hi, Rose," a boy with dark curly hair and bright brown eyes greeted me. He looked awkward and shy with red cheeks."Hi," I replied."Do you mind if I sit here?" He pointed to the seat next to me.I was actually in the mood to be alone. I'd rather sit by myself and watch the people partying. But I promised myself I would change. I wouldn't be the rude Rosemary anymore. So, I allowed him to sit next to me."Yes, of course," I said.The boy smiled broadly and sat down beside me. Then he held out his hand and introduced himself. "I'm Robby.

    ~Rose~The next day was my busiest day. I had to pack all my things. I had so much stuff that I needed four big suitcases to fit it all in."Dad! Help me!" I called from the door.Dad, who was talking to Uncle Ben, turned and said, "I'll be right there."I frowned at Dad's answer. These suitcases were so heavy. I wouldn't be able to carry them to the car by myself.I turned around and left, stomping my feet. I stood by the window waiting for Dad while I watched Rylee load the suitcases into the car trunk. I was surprised to see that Rylee had so few things."Didn't he bring all his stuff?" I muttered."Who doesn't bring all the stuff?" That question made me turn around immediately."Uncle Ben? Where's Dad?" I asked, looking towards the door."Luna Victoria needs his help. Sorry, I came in. Your door wasn't closed," Uncle Ben replied.I was annoyed. Wasn't I the one who called Dad first? Why does it always have to be Mom first?"So, what can I do for you?" Uncle Ben asked later.I was

    ~Rose~"Dad, can I have some time alone with Collin?" I looked up at Dad, hoping he would permit me.Dad smiled. "Sure, sweetheart. I'll leave you two alone," he said, kissing my forehead."Thanks, Dad," I said.Dad left the room after that. I can't explain my feelings. Collin looked sick, and I couldn't bear looking at him."Sorry," I started the conversation after hearing the room door close.Collin smiled weakly. "Why apologize? It's not your fault.""You got like this because you saved me," I said."You think so?" Even in his weakened state, Collin made a skeptical face. "I hate my father. I don't want him to get what he wants," he continued.I didn't want to argue with Collin. Whether what he said was true or not, he had saved me."Whatever it is, thank you," I said."I accept your thanks," Collin replied with a smile.We were silent for a moment. No one spoke, and only the monitor's sound could be heard."Why are you looking at me like that?" Collin's question snapped me out of

    ~Rose~I thought I was dead. I still remember how much it hurt when Dad stabbed me in the chest. I don't know how to describe it, but the pain was unbelievable. All the horrible things I saw about King Salvatore made me want to die. He had to be stopped, and the only way was to kill me. I was like a mother to this demon, and I didn't want him to use my body to commit such a terrible crime.Surprisingly, I didn't expect to wake up, but I am still alive. Whether I should be grateful or not, I was scared to death when I first opened my eyes and saw the light. Everything was so bright that it felt like my eyes were being pierced, and it hurt like hell. I went into shock, and after a while, I started to feel better. The doctor examined me and explained that I was in the hospital. I asked who had brought me to the hospital, and the doctor said my father did. The doctor also said that my family was waiting outside. Thank God, because I was afraid that Mr. Adams would take me to the hospital.

    ~Victoria~I was talking to Mala, but Rose's screams immediately caught my attention. I turned to her, and panic gripped me. My daughter's hands were clenched into fists, and her eyes were wide. Rose's breathing was rapid. The monitor screen showed a significant increase in heart activity. She looked frightened. I took Rose's hand and stroked her head."Rose. It's Mommy, honey," I whispered, hoping she could hear me."What happened?" Ace came and stood beside me.I turned to Ace and replied, "I don't know. I was talking to Mala, and suddenly Rose became like this.""Baby, can you hear me?" Ace moved closer to Rose and stroked her face, but there was still no response. Rose was still in the same condition. "Call the doctor!" he ordered.My trembling hand pressed the nurse call button. A nurse arrived shortly after that. Ace and I made room for the nurse to examine Rose."She just started screaming. Please do something," I explained without prompting.The nurse didn't seem to know what

    ~Ace~"Ace," the soft call echoed in my ears. I felt a soft touch on my shoulder. I feel so tired. My muscles felt stiff. But suddenly, my blood rushed, and my eyes snapped open as I remembered what had happened to my daughter."Rose!" I woke up spontaneously. "Hey, it's me. It's okay!" Victoria held my shoulders. She sat next to me, took my fingers, and smiled warmly. "We're at the hospital. Rose is stable."I turned to the bed and saw my daughter on life support. I don't know how many times my heart broke seeing my daughter lying there helpless. I thought she was dead, but she had survived."I woke you up because you were sweating a lot. Nightmare?" Victoria looked worried. Ever since Alpha Mark and Alpha Sanchez invaded my home, all I could think about was how to keep my family safe. The nightmares made me afraid to sleep. I'm thankful that Beta Ben helped me get through it all. My Beta was the savior I never thought would come at the right time. I thought he had died thirteen y

    ~Ace~As a father, I felt a great sense of failure knowing that my daughter was in danger. I had entrusted her to the wrong man. Maxton Adams, I swore that I would tear his body apart. I promised I would crush his heart with my own hands.I sniffed the trail my daughter left. I sniffed at home. Rose came home, but I didn't find her there.If I'm right, Rose is in the cursed place where Maxton Adams performed the Alpha King Salvatore resurrection ritual."Motherfucker! I will kill Maxton Adams if he dares to lay a hand on my daughter!" I swear by the moon goddess.The place was far away, in the middle of the forest. I drove hundreds of miles from home to the forest, following my instincts until my daughter's scent grew more assertive. I ran into the woods."It's not far from here." I stopped for a moment. My breathing quickened in sync with my rising heartbeat. My eyes darted around. I could only hear the sounds of the nocturnal animals in the area, but I was sure my daughter's whereab

    ~Rosemary~I screamed, but no one listened. I cried bitterly, but no one cared. All I could see in front of me was a bunch of crazy people performing a ritual while casting spells. I was tired. I was in pain. I wanted to go home."Mom, Dad, take me home!" I begged with a voice I couldn't even hear.I closed my eyes and remembered all my good memories with my family. No more sobs were coming out of my mouth, but the tears were flowing harder and harder. Then, suddenly, everything went silent. The voices of the spell casters faded, and all I could hear was Rylee's laughter. I missed him."Rylee, I'm sorry." If this was the last day I lived and God gave me a chance to hug Rylee, I wanted to tell him I was sorry.I knew it wasn't real, but seeing Rylee laughing and taunting me felt natural. It was just an illusion, but the corners of my lips turned up. I missed him. I realized that he was the one who had always tried to protect me. He always took care of me when Dad wasn't around.The nex

    ~Rosemary~I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Mr. Adams was the one behind the attack on Collin's house. But why would he do that?"Oh, Rosemary. I'm sorry if I frightened you." Mr. Adams made a concerned expression, but I knew it was fake."Why are you doing this?" I dared to ask.My head felt empty. I couldn't think. I still didn't believe that what Collin had said about Mr. Adams was true. But I don't think so Mr. Adams is a demon worshipper. If he can do all that and act like an angel while all he's doing is acting like a demon, then he's a demon himself.Dad was fierce and strict with me, but he never hurt me like Mr. Adams hurt Collin. Dad never hurt Mom either, even though Mom was in a coma for a very long time. If Dad wanted, he could have remarried another woman and sought his happiness, but Dad chose to be loyal to Mom and take care of her until she woke up from her coma.
