MAX’ POVI couldn’t contain my restlessness. Kyle Bowen was on his way to see me. I’d pressed him for news over the phone but he wouldn’t relent. Only saying that it was something we could discuss only when we saw. This was why he was coming to see me. I tried to do many things to calm myself. I drank some tea which Penelope brewed, stared out the window, tried to do some calculative work to numb my brain, tried meditating, tried counting backwards and forwards. Shit, I even tried listening to music but for reason, nothing was working. My mind was still jittery. Penelope must have sensed my anticipation because she sent Kyle Bowen in without calling me to ask if he should come in or not. Once again, Penelope got points for efficiency. Kyle smiled warmly at me as I shook his hands. We sat on the sofa in my office, still taking up the last positions we’d sat in the previous time he’d come to my office. I didn’t bother beating around the bush. “Tell me Kyle. What’s the update please?
ALEXIS’ POVI was on my way to dinner with John Rhodes and his beautiful family. I particularly had something to celebrate; for starters, Rhodes Co-operation was back in business with FunDeets under the clause that I would remain their sole contact in the deals. They’d also bought into my idea and were going to do things like I’d said. Secondly, I was going to dine with the awesome John Rhodes and his family! I’d made an acquaintance with a multibillionaire. That was awesome. I was particularly looking forward to meeting his daughter who from her photos reminded me of myself when I was younger. I pulled into a simple black gate and was scared for a moment that I’d gotten lost. However, GPS said I was on track with the address I’d typed into it. The gate pulled open and I drove in. A smiling security man waved me in and I was amazed at the simplicity of John Rhodes’ house. I don’t know what I was expecting but whatever I was expecting did not measure up at all to what I was staring a
MAX’S POVAfter, I morphed back to my human form; I located my car and I realized that it was very late at night. Yes, I could still drive back to my house but for some reason, I didn’t want to. I drove lazily around on the dirt road that led out of the forest before I saw a hotel close by. I decided to spend the night in it. Interestingly, the name of the hotel was Selene’s Stay. The proximity to the woods and the strange name made me confident it was built by a werewolf. Why else would anyone build a magnificent hotel, a little out of town and with the name of their goddess? Except the person wasn’t a werewolf. This made me a bit confident about spending the night at the hotel. I’d definitely have to meet its owner soon and gain some insights of why they chose to own such a hotel. I handed my keys over to the valet and walked in. The receptionist was a striking woman with a face that made it hard to place her age and she had white, silver hair. I smiled. This hotel definitely ree
ALEXIS' POVMaxwell Moon. That was His name and he asked me to dinner. Just only two hours after we'd met, he called and asked me to meet him for dinner. Then he offered to come pick me up to which I declined. I was still grippling with the events of the previous night, the strange dream that I'd had and the many emotions that came with meeting him again. It was almost too much to bear. I'd driven home, taken a shower and then crawled into bed while staring at the ceiling. I'd wanted so badly to talk to someone but couldn't bring myself to call Hannah. She'd sent me a text, she wouldn't be coming home for the night and the next few days. She'd gone on an unplanned trip with her boyfriend. So, I was all alone in my mystery. Girlfriends over boyfriend was clearly something not in Hannah's dictionary. I didn't even bother to give her a call. She was probably shagging her boyfriend somewhere. I'd get the full details once she got home. When it was 6pm, I crawled out of bed, feeling ver
Max's POV"Oh, Maxwell."I couldn't get the way she had spoken my name out of my mind. I kept replaying her small, kissable lips over and over again in my head saying my name. Then the entire event of the evening played in my head too. Alexis Diaz was as beautiful if not more than a flower petal but also as delicate. All of her actions spoke to the wolf in me and all I wanted to do was to protect her, to shield her from all the troubles in the world and hold her safely in my arms. She awoke instincts in me that I didn't even know I possessed. I had surprised myself, proposing marriage to her in the spot. Yet, after finding her, I couldn't imagine living without her for even a single day. What was even more surprising was my growing suspicion that she had no idea she was a werewolf. How was that even possible? How had she stayed human all these years? What pack did she come from? Who were her parents? I stopped my thoughts. Those questions could wait. What was important right now was
MAX’S POVAs I drove to my apartment, I kept glancing over at Alexis by my side. She was seated daintily on the seat and dozing beautifully. She’d fallen asleep almost immediately she got into the car. The bruise in her face stood out starkly against her pale skin. I felt terribly guilty. Who were those guys? I’d never seen them before and they had mentioned my Dad. Plus the weapons they’d use were laced with silver. This means they knew that I was a werewolf. I couldn’t imagine anyone having a personal vendetta against me or my dad enough to come after us this wayMy Dad was long dead and his personality wasn’t one to actually do anything to hurt anyone. Our business has run smoothly on transparency, honesty and hard work. This was what we were known for. This was the legacy I had inherited. I was troubled by this event, more than I was letting on. Especially now that innocent Alexis and our baby were now in the picture. I needed to get them back home, out of this town, to the safet
MAX’ POVSometimes, it took a while for me to believe the turn of events of the past weekend. One moment, I am neck deep in frustration about my inability to find my mate and the next; she’s spending the night at my house. It seemed surreal, all too good to be true. After the events of the previous night, Alexis had slept for nine hours straight. I had lane in bed with her for seven hours, just staring at her and keeping watch over her. Her ethereal beauty had pulled me in and kept me glued to her side; plus her petite and fragile frame woke something deep within me that increased my devotion to protect her. I’d gotten up to take a bath, change clothes and then prepare some food for her. I had taken the liberty of preparing dinner and not my caterer. Like I said, Alexis awoke something deep in me that I didn’t even know existed. The fact that she had needed nine hours to recover spoke about her nature. She was more human than wolf. It made me even doubt that she was wolf but her sm
ALEXIS POVI woke around dawn the next morning. The time on my phone read 6:01am and it was still dark outside. I sat up in bed. Bed? I took a quick glance around me to notice that I was back in the room I’d slept in when I first got to Max’s house. The events of the last few hours flashed through my mind. After my late lunch, I’d fallen asleep and then had this frightful nightmare which woke me up. Then I’d located Max and he had what? He had serenaded me to sleep! Sang! Max had sung! All Six foot 2 inches of manly strength and power had been so gentle with me. I half remembered some of his gestures; I had been so groggy and sleepy. They had all been gentle and kind and sweet. For a moment, my heart began to beat louder. Oh no, I couldn’t possibly fall in love with Max. No, I couldn’t. I just couldn’t. This was not the plan. The plan was to be a single mum. I’d sworn off men. Plus I had to focus on the baby this time. I felt him. Him, for some reason, I was sure it was him. I felt
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,
