ALEXIS POVA few days after I begun to stay with the Rhodes, Grace prepared a most elaborate dinner because John’s company had won an exclusive contract and it was such a huge deal for his career. She’d outdone herself and prepared dinner like it was a bouquet and we were at least twenty people as opposed to the three adults and one child that we were. I didn’t wait for the invitation twice, I dug into the food. Grace said, “So tell us John, how did it feel when you got the call stating you got the contract?”“Honestly, I did not know what to feel. At all, I didn’t really know what to feel. I think I was too happy I didn’t even know how to express it.” “What about your employees Dad? How did they take the news?” Jaime asked. If it wasn’t too late, she was often allowed to spend dinner with us, adults and then other times, she was sent to bed on time. “They were elated. They were more expressive with their joy and I think they’re probably drinking up a storm at their favourite bar r
MAX POVAmelia brought her hands from my back to my neck. She wound it around me and used it to bring my face even closer to hers, deepening the kiss even more. It was a slow and sweet kiss yet I felt the passion and heat of being separated from Amelia. I didn’t just pour all of this into the kiss, I felt the same from Amelia too and for once, it felt good to know that the feeling was mutual. I finally let her go and hugged her, placing my chin on top of her head and closing my eyes for a while. I opened them and realized that we were all alone in the room. The Rhodes must have felt the need to give us some privacy. This was thoughtful and kind of them and I made the mental note to thank them later. Amelia stared up at me and smiled. “I underestimated how much I missed you.”“I missed you more, Amelia and I’m sorry. I’m sorry you have to go through all that you’re going through. I’m sorry for being so weak and unable to protect you. I’m sorry-““Shh.” Amelia held her fingers against
MAX’S POVOnce we got back to the house, I’d doubled the security, Amelia jumped right out of the car and said, “Race you indoors!”It felt surreal, the way I couldn’t just imagine what my life was like without her. I couldn’t believe the low quality I’d been living before I met her. Now, with her by my side, this was true living. This was the real living. I got out of the car and already knew that I couldn’t catch up with her. I followed her potent scent and found her in the kitchen, standing on a stool rummaging through some cupboards overhead. “What are you doing? Winner girl.”She beamed at me. “Yes, I won the race so, I get to order you around for the rest of the day.” Her face grew serious as she said, “I’m making you dinner.”I sat up from the stool I’d sunk into. This was a first. “Urh, what’s happening?”She shrugged and said, “Well, let’s say it’s an apology dinner. I’m sorry for the last row we had. Just like even when you didn’t know who my birth family was, you stuck by
ALEXIS’ POVI got up early the next morning; just at the crack of dawn. I was expectant. Was today the day Max would take me to his home land? Yes, he’d mentioned it, but we hadn’t fixed a date for it. Knowing Max and how he didn’t waste time with the execution of his plans, it felt like he could do something like that; ask us to travel that day. Whether or not we did travel that day, I began to pack anyway. I didn’t know for how long we would be gone, and I really loved the closet Max had prepared for me and was confident in those clothes. So, I packed at my liberty. Luckily, I found some empty suitcases in the walk-in-closet, so I filled them with clothes, shoes, underwear and what not. My stomach would likely grow bigger in that place and we might not be able to go shopping there, so I took that into consideration when I decided what dress to take or what not to. After a while, I began to feel tired so, I enlisted the help of Miley and Riley who first scolded me for endeavoring t
MAX’ POVI stood outside my house. It was the house where I’d spent all my childhood and also much of my adulthood. It was the biggest house in the homeland. It had been built hundreds of years ago by the founding father of my pack, my ancestor. However, it had undergone renovations over the years with the last renovation being a few years ago. Yet, the size and splendor of the house never seemed to take my breath away. We’d all resorted to calling it, Moon Castle. Castle was a more fitting tittle for it more than house really. I spared a glance at Amelia and saw that she wasn’t sharing the same sentiments as I did. She had been awfully quiet on the drive here and even now, she was staring at her feet; looking very pale and frail. Our arrival had gone unnoticed. I hadn’t told anyone what day we’d be arriving just for the element of surprise. Not to ruin the surprise, I’d driven into the estate from an unused entrance from the west gate. I’d cut off the main town and its surrounding
AMELIA’S POVAfter a long warm bath, I got out of the bathroom to find my suitcases waiting for me. I was about to open them to search for the outfit Riley and Miley had planned that I would wear on my first meeting with Max’s family. When I glanced up at the bed and saw an outfit laid out on it, complete with underwear. I stood, perpexled. The woman, Letty, had left me alone, so I had no one to ask. I heard a knock at my door and thinking it was Letty, I said, “Please come in. I don’t know, but is the dress on the bed supposed to be for me? I don’t know about it, though. I haven’t really examined it. However, I’m not sure it’s my style. I mean, it’s not white and I seem to be favoring white lately. Is it mandatory that I wear it? I do have a suitcase full of clothes Max got me.” I sighed. I didn’t get a response, so I turned to see who was behind me, and instead of Letty, I saw another older woman with Max’s blue eyes and facial structures. I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me, th
AMELIA’S POVI turned, and of course, it was Max’s mum taking a seat at the head of the table and staring pointedly at us. Max’s hand didn’t leave the small of my back as he guided me to a chair, to the left of his mother. He sat beside me to my heart’s content. He said, “Mum, this is Amelia Rhodes, my mate. Amelia, meet my Mum.” I smiled thinly, trying to be polite as I stared at my plate and fighting the emotions running through my mind. Max’s Mum, Crystalbelle said, “We already met, and Amelia, I’d like for you to call me Crystalbelle.” I stared at her and saw some warmth in her face for the first time. Yet, the sharp and snide tone wasn’t exactly gone from her voice. “Analita should just be joining us right about now.”Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw a very tall woman who was the female version of Max and the younger version of Crystalbelle walk into the room, but with a sullen look. She took the chair opposite mine, to the right of her mother, and said, “Good Morning, Mu
MAX’S POVI wasn’t sure that the meeting between my family and Amelia had gone as smoothly as I hoped it would. I knew Analita clearly didn’t consider Amelia a sister-in-law. It was understandable. May, my chosen mate, was her best friend and she had championed us being together all these years. So, being with Amelia was a rain on her parade. I did think my Mum liked Amelia. She was always so frosty that it took time to decipher where her true heart was. Yet my good hunch was that she liked Amelia, and who wouldn’t? Amelia was perfect, and she was my mate. They would have to turn away from their prejudices because Amelia was here to stay. I helped Amelia to her feet and walked hand-in-hand with her towards the back of the house, prepared to give her a tour of the property and then the woods I’d told her about. I could see in her face that she was bothered. Amelia, who always had a good appetite, had even been unable to eat. That was weird; I’d never seen her that way. Walking beside
AMELIA'S POVI sighed when I woke up; my eyes felt dizzy, and I cleaned my eyes.My eyes met the wall clock, and I froze.What the duck was the time, 11 am?Just now it was 5:30 pm. And I was getting ready to go to the party that was being held at the Liberty house, not after Max had come in and stretched my legs.. making them sore.I stood up, and although my legs felt like jelly, I managed to get up….walking out of the room.I went down the stairs, my eyes looking around for Max.He was seated on the couch with our babies.. in the crib and he was feeding them something from their little bottles."Baby," I called. "Was the party postponed to this evening?" I asked, walking to the couch."You walk beautifully, baby." He mumbled, winking at me."And oh, the party was held last night..you fainted, so you couldn't attend." He said with a serious face.I glared at him, anger rising to my throat.How fucking dare him?! He was the reason I didn't attend. I wanted to.He had fucked me last n
AMELIA'S POVA party was being held in the Liberty House.A week from now, and they'll be signing a peace pact with the hunters.I sighed, watching my little kids in their crib while I dressed for the partyThey were going to stay with Crystabelle at the party.The woman had made them her kids ever since they got back."Look how pretty your mama is; isn't she looking hot for mom today?" I asked, staring at my little peanuts."Oh please...not now; I'm shy when it comes to cameras; please don't..." I paused and chuckled. "or you can eat this shit instead." I leaned down and began to twerk my ass."Yeah! Eat this shit!" I caused twerking."Yeah, I can eat this shit whenever you want." I stilled. My eyes widened as I turned to watch Max leaning on the door.He looked so hot in that signature suit of his and his hair...Fuck! He was a Greek God. He looked smokingly hot as he watched me with those lustful eyes that said so many things.And one was to damn this party and pound me into the m
MAX'S POVThe remaining hunters began to leave, dropping their guns and ammunition as they vowed never to cross the border again.Luke was dead, and so was Analita and some of the wolves and hybrids created by Luke.I stood in front of the car, arms pressed together, as I watched Rick order the men about what to do concerning the ammunition."The war is over." He said, coming to stand beside me."I guess so," I said, a smile forming on my lips."There's nothing to be happy about yet." He said."Shut up, Rick!" I glared at him, as he held out his bandaged arm."Oh...I think it's time to go meet Amelia and fuck her to death. I'm sure she's probably jumping on her bed while carrying her little peanuts." Rick said."You're making me regret the fact of bandaging that arm for you," I said.My phone rang and I picked it up."Baby.""They're home. They were brought to the house as mail. They were mailed to the house." Her voice was brighter than the whole day. Even the sun couldn't compare."
LUKE'S POVMy Men and I surrounded the east part of where the hunters were hiding.Analita and her men surrounded the west, while Max and his men took both the south and the North.After the death of many of their men, the hunters had taken refuge in their mansion, and none was coming out.I signaled one of my men to go through the open door.Another followed, and another followed."We've gotten in, Max," I mumbled to the transducer that was attached to my ears."Okay, Analita will take the other side to go in, and then we will barge in if there's any problem." Based on what we've gone through, using guns on these people was better, but I couldn't wait to shred that animal to pieces.He had tried to convince Eve about betraying me and killing my child. Our child!"And one more thing, Luke. Follow the code; if we lose this change because of you, I'll kill you myself." Max said.I rolled my eyes, Ignoring his grunts as I stepped into the Mansion as well.A bullet flew past me and hit t
LUKE'S POVMy head was banging hard as I drove to the mansion.I had long suspected Eve using me, but I had brushed it off the moment I saw how helpless she was.She was dying, and she was carrying my child. Tears burned the back of my head, blocking my vision as I drove faster.. speeding up till there was nothing in sight.I pulled off at the front of the Mansion, throwing my keys to one of my men."Sir.""Yes?" I looked up, a scowl on my face, as I watched him cower."Talk right this instant!""Doctor Gabrielle came, and she's attending to Miss Eve right now. I was told to let you know about it."I nodded, hurrying inside.No matter how evil she was, I was not going to kill her. She was going to be my baby's mother. I hurried up the stairs, taking three steps at a time, until I was just in front of her door."Is there a problem, doctor?" I asked, looking around as my friend deepened.I didn't like that look at all."There's a problem with Miss Eve, I don't know what she took, but
MAX'S POVI wasn't seeing anything other than red.Red blood clouded my vision as I held onto my sword so tight.I watched my men as they began to prepare to leave for the war.My men at the forefront were doing good. A hundred hunters were dead at the moment, and I would not stop till I was sure my children were fine and brought home.FLASHBACK...I had gone home with Rick to get some things Amelia would use since she was asked to stay in the hospital by the nurses.When I arrived at the hospital, Amelia was asleep, and the children...my children were nowhere to be found.After I had successfully taken out the wolfsbane mixed with sedatives that had been injected into Amelia's body...she woke up."Are you back? I don't know what happened; I just fell asleep out of nowhere." She said, cleaning her face with her hand. Her eyes went to the crib, and she sighed."Who's with the kids? Is it Rick?" The question burned my whole body right into my heart and it was as if...I stopped breathing
AMELIA'S POVWhen I woke up, Max was by my side.He was holding a baby. The baby was very small and I blinked at them.Max holding the baby made me feel a lot more happy than I was supposed to be."Max," I called and he looked up instantly, a smile covering his face."Hey, beautiful.""Hi, Handsome." "See." He leaned down so I could see the baby. "Look at our little Creation." He mumbled.A smile broke off my lips as I stared at the beautiful baby in his arms."A boy and a girl?" I asked, and he nodded."They're so beautiful. Very beautiful." I said and he nodded."And they take after their mother." He said and dropped the baby in the crib."Thank you," I said, sincerely thankful for what he had done.He shook his head."That was nothing." He leaned down and kissed my nose. "Now I know how painful giving birth to a child is, especially an Alpha's kids." He chuckled."You felt it?""I took some of the pain. Of course, I felt it." He said.I felt so tired and sleepy, yet I wanted to be
AMELIA'S POVDon't fret when I tell you that I'm almost due. I was going to give birth to...not just one baby, but twins.Earlier when we had gone for some tests, the doctor convinced us to see our little cutie, but instead...we saw two cuties.I sighed when I brought down my legs from the table.I felt bloated. Like really extremely full.I felt something lick my feet, and I looked up to see Whitney rubbing me with her furs and licking my feet.The first day I arrived in the Homelands after visiting John and Grace and telling Max about our child...he had gotten me a dog, saying in times like these, having a dog was good.I couldn't deny that, because the little puppy that was growing rapidly had become my new friend whenever Max had gone to the office and Crystabelle wasn't coming."What is it, Whitney?" I asked, and it purred."No, stop doing that. I don't want to make chocolate now. I'm so tired, and there's no one here to make that." I whined to Whitney.Compared to humans, wolve
AMELIA'S POVMax's eyes widened, and he stared at me as if I were joking.He shifted until my back was against the table, and then his eyes went to my belly."You're pregnant?" He asked again."Yes, we're having a baby," I said.He chuckled, his eyes meeting mine as he lifted his hand and placed it on my belly."Yes," I said again, as if he didn't hear me. "You're going to be a dad." A deep growl left his throat as he met mine again."We're going to have this one," I said, holding his hand on my belly."We're going to hold this one alive and nothing is going to go wrong," I said.He nodded, like a little child that had been offered the best game in his life."Thank you." He mumbled, pressing a kiss on my cheek."Fuck! I'm going to be a dad. We're going to be parents." He said.I nodded, feeling him place thousands of kisses on my cheek.At this point, my cheek was going to catch fire due to how badly it was burning."Are you okay? You're not supposed to be in this position." He said,
