LILA POV

“The same way I should have known you didn't give a fuck about me from the onset, Rune.”

I took a seat on my bed, shutting my eyes and fighting back the urge to sleep. “Good morning, Young Alpha. What can I do for you on the morning of another beautiful day?”

He looked at me, with awe on his face.

“I didn't expect to be asked that question. What did I do, Lila? Does the truth now hurt so much that I shouldn't say it?

Were you expecting me to tell you a lie?!”

I looked up. “You're shouting.”

“My goodness,” he cried and got up from the sofa he was seated in. “I shouldn't have come here, baby. Trust me, this was a big mistake. You know I have things to do, so I should be there and on my way.”

As he walked to the door, I got on my feet. “Do you love me?!” I shouted, watching him turn around.

“Why can't I move to that room with you? Is there something you're trying to hide? Are you certain there is no other woman with you in that chamber?”

He heaved another frustr

    RAVEN POV Payday came, finally. Happiness was an understatement of how I felt, and I could not contain how it ran through me throughout the day. For as long as I can recall, it's only been two weeks since I started working and I have been paid. Wasn't it supposed to be after a month? “Payment is every two weeks,” Jane explained in the office that day. “This way, you don't have to take loans to feed yourself in case you run out of cash. Do you see why Logan's Institute is better than the others?” Indeed, it was better than others. I couldn't tell but so far, it was the best. I looked up and smiled, standing on my feet and checking the watch on my wrist. “I should get going. I am already done for today and need to catch up on some stuff. Aella would be on my neck if I didn't make it home on time.” Jane walked to the door and asked. “Doesn't the young lady understand that you're busy at work?” With a chuckle, she walked out of the space, leaving me to round off for

    RUNE POV I looked at her, confusion written all over my face. “I—” I uttered, still confused. “It's nice to meet you again.” I added, not also knowing what to say. The woman next to her was Aella, and she looked good too. Their faces shone and body skins glowed, making me wonder what the issue was and how my former wife went about it. “RUNE!” Someone shouted in the presence of many others and I looked to my right to see an angry look on the face of the woman I came out with. “Are you going to take her back as your wife now, huh?” Lila asked and I shook my head, turning around again to see the two women order food from the counter where meals were sold. “I'm sorry, babe—” I heaved a sigh and smiled. “—do you want to order something before we make it back home?” I asked and she heaved a sigh also, noticing the changes in my mood but was I to be blamed? How was I supposed to see Raven looking stunning and expected to feel good? How did she secure a job, or is she marr

    LILA POV Why did I think he was thinking about her? I paced the room, many thoughts running around in my head. “What is wrong with him?” I asked none other than myself, wishing he could at least pretend to be excited about the gift I gave him. Finally, I took a seat on the bed. What should I do? And why was Raven looking so stunning? How did she know we'd be there? What are her newest skincare routine and products? Why did she look so good? I fell on the bed, laying my head on one of the pillows. This can't be happening. For the first time, I wished I hadn't gone out with Rune that night - this way, he wouldn't have seen her. I should have known. What does she even do for a living now? I got up again and walked around the room, heaving a sigh from time to time and finally, settling on the couch not so far from the bed. Now I thought about Aella too, why she looked far better than I did, not even respecting me as the next Luna of the pack. Why didn't she acknowledge me w

    RAVEN POV Why was he calling me? What does he want from me this time around? Ever since the young Alpha found me at the mall, with Logan who paid the bills for what I got - my phone has not had the rest it deserved. It rang all day and I did all I could to avoid taking his calls. It was a Monday morning, and a month since I started working in the company. Even if I wanted to take his call, there's no way I'd do that right now. I had a lot to do and my desk was filled up with documents and files Mr. Johnson, the manager, asked me to treat. A knock on the door diverted my attention. It had to be Jane. Only she knocked that way on my door but was I in the mood to have a conversation with her - anyone in fact? Not with the emotional trauma I dealt with since I set my eyes on Rune and Lila in that mall. I let her in. “Do you need something?” Managing a smile I didn't know whether or not it was genuine, I asked as I relaxed my back on the chair. “Take a seat, Jane.” I added and the w

    RUNE POV Was that supposed to be a joke?It didn't sound like one, and there was no way I would take it from her. “You are pregnant, Raven,” I let out, pacing the space while she did something on her phone. “You can't leave me with my babies in your stomach, can you?!”My tone made her look up. Stand on her feet, in fact. “I told you twice that the babies were lost!” She raised her voice also. “You have no rights to the babies in my stomach this time around because they're not yours. Don't you understand it?” I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to believe it, but she meant it. The look on her face said it all, and I had no choice but to believe it. Not when I have heard it twice when she still resided in the pack a few months ago. “And who is he?”She looked at me, making an effort to walk away but I had a hold of her hand before she could do that. “You don't walk out on me and a conversation we are having, Raven. I am asking who he is.” “Leave me alone!” Turning around, sh

    RUNE POV Jealousy? Not at all. How can I be jealous of a man with a woman I was once married to? I watched them from the comfort of my car. There she was, with him, walking into a mall after he parked her car. Why was he driving her car? I wondered for the umpteenth time in a few seconds. What does he want with her? In wonderment, I thought while the urge to hop down from the car and make a scene was just very overwhelming. After a while, I drove off. There was no way I would get over this, which is why I needed to do something. Something like acting as fast as I can, but in what way do I act? My thoughts ran around my head and I finally put them to rest, hurrying home so that the meeting Father asked for could be done with and so that I could return to the usual lifestyle I have adopted of late. Thinking. The man, Logan. He was the one I saw that day. At the hospital when I came with Lila from the airport, down to the hospital so that she could be checked on. Was that th

    LILA POV What was wrong with him? It was late in the night when I stared at the screen of my phone, waiting for the man to call but there was nothing like that. What was happening?Have I lost him already? “Lila, are you in there? Dinner is ready? And your Father wants to talk to you.” A sigh ran out of my mouth as I placed the phone on the bed and got on my feet. I could always face Rune later. He loves me so much, after all, even more than his ex-wife who happens to be my sister.Step sister. Does it mean he's been seeing her of late? What was happening? There was no way he would see her lately. Not after what he's done to her. Even if he went after Raven, there's no way she would take him back. This brought a smile to my face, and I was standing by the door when Mother shouted my name once more. “On my way!” Rushing out of the space, I shut the door. “Greetings, Alpha and Luna,” I said with a bow and caught up with the dining section, settling on one of the chairs and loo

Not in this condition. It's a lot for all that I know!” Settling on the couch, she mouthed and there was me who smiled, joining her there and shaking my head also. “There's nothing wrong with being pregnant and making clothes for the babies in advance, young lady,” standing on my feet, I walked back to the part of the living room where my new sewing machine stayed. “It's not a case of me not affording clothes for them. I'm only doing this because I am bored.” “Are you sure?” I looked at her. “Sure about what?”“I mean, are you sure that it's not a case of you not having money to afford their clothes? You can always tell me and I'll lend

    RAVEN POV “Isn't it late at night to be here?” Opening the door, there was Aella in my apartment. “Come on in. I'm sure you're cold.” I mouthed as I opened the door even wider, watching her walk into the space with a smile that was evergreen on her face. “Good evening, my lady.” I shut the door. Turned around and caught up with the couch she was seated on. “Not so fast. Is everything okay over there at the pack? Why are you here? You keep scaring me so much and I don't think I like it.” “My lady,” she looked at me. “There is nothing wrong if you must know. I just came to spend some time with you. I haven't done that since the operation for all that I can recall. How are you doing?” Relieved, I heaved a sigh. And just then, her eyes reached my stomach. “My goodness. It's bigger than I thought it'd be!” Crying, she adjusted on the chair, dropping her purse on the floor. “You look good on it too. You are still as beautiful as always if you know what I mean.” “I don't feel bet

After I parked, I hopped down and led my way straight to the living room, falling on the chair and heaving another tired sigh. It was a good thing to finally be home. Away from the wolves and one particular man who annoyed the hell out of me. What does he even want? Heaving a sigh, I snapped my fingers and a maid showed up. “My lord.” I looked at her face, realizing it was none other maid than Aella who smiled at me. “What can I offer you? Do you need water?” Bowing again, she looked at me while I sat up, thinking about words to say to the woman. What could she offer me? Like she didn't know what I wanted to be offered? But how could I spell it in block letters that I wanted my wife back in my life? “I want water,” after a while of thinking, I let out and offered back the smile she was offering. “Not so cold. Not so hot. You know what I mean, don't you?” “Yes, my lord.”I was left alone

    RUNE POV I walked past the gate leading into the camp when my gaze caught someone's. It's been over two weeks of training the wolves and I had yet to say a word to a man I have tagged an enemy. What would he have me say to him? “Good morning, Mr. Rune.” It was a student who called.She had a smile on her face and my lips widened, the grimace leaving my countenance. “Good morning, dearest wolf. How are you doing today?” I walked and she was by my side, offering to take my bag but there was me who shook my head. “I can handle it, you have nothing at all to worry about.” In moments, she was out of my side and there was me who led my way past the space with many wolves in it. They offered more greetings while I just walked away, heading to the general office for trainers like myself who had arrived. “Good morning,” I greeted the man from two weeks ago. “I have arrived.” Sarcastically, I mouthed and kept walking. “Where are the others?” Stopping in my tracks, I turned to look at the

    LILA POV I was seated on the veranda, sipping juice from a glass when a maid walked out of the house. She had an apron on and this could only mean that she was supposed to be on duty. So why was she outside? Looking to my left, I figured out that it was Aella. How long would she keep doing this? As a matter of fact, it wasn't the first time I would see her leave the house with her phone in hand. The unfortunate thing was me not being close to the spot when it was happening. Now, I wanted to know what was behind it. Jumping on my feet, I acted like I didn't care. Of course, I did. Deep down inside of me but what could I do? I needed to know what she was up to before making plans to send her away from the pack. It was something I wanted to do so badly. According to my thoughts, this woman led the man I love to see a woman he should never set his eyes on. What could she not do? I caught up with a block and tried to listen to what she said to whoever it was, over the phone. “My la

    RAVEN POV Lunchtime. Taking out the food from the bag I came with, I knew I needed to take a break. There was more than a lot going through my head at this point, but what could I do? I simply relaxed my back on the chair and opened the plate of food. And it was at this moment that I noticed something strange happening to the meal. Not the meal, but the office in total. What was I thinking? A piece of paper fell off the plate packaging, catching my attention. What could I do or say? I looked at the floor, wanting to be certain that I wasn't imagining things. There was a piece of paper. Confirming this, I looked around as though it wasn't my office anymore. And now I bent low so that my hand could reach it, snatching it from the ground and meeting the gaze of whatever was in the piece. “I know I haven't done well for myself or even you, Raven. But I look forward to the day we get to spend time with each other again. And I promise I'll treat you right, and not the wrong way I

    RAVEN POV With time, I recovered fully. My stomach on the other hand got bigger by the day, and I didn't think for a moment that it would stop because, from the look of things, there was more to come. Another Monday morning arrived. This was the point when I got out of bed so that I could take my bath and be ready for work. There was not much difference in my body and somehow, I seemed to like this more than the other. Despite the size.It was still Rune's fault, wasn't it? Why can't I leave him out of my thoughts? Anger was the right word for how I felt when I snatched the towel from the bed and walked into the bathroom for my bath. Soon enough, I was standing in front of a mirror - wondering what outfit exactly was good to use for the purpose of my work on this day. A smile came alive on my face when I figured it out. I didn't stop smiling for one moment, but caught up with the wardrobe, opened it, and caught sight of the outfit I needed to look for. How ready was I to be th

    RUNE POV So why did Mother and Father give me that look? I wasn't done with my food but at this point, I was more than ready to abandon it and walk back to my room. With a smile I didn't know how it looked, plastered on my face, I looked at my parents once more. “Is there any problem?” They looked at each other before looking at me again. “Why do you ask, son? Did we say there was a problem?” He looked at his wife and back at me. “We were only looking at you. Does that make a problem exist?” A sigh. A scoff. What did these people want from me? This was the reason why I couldn't tell them about my love for Raven. How could I, when they warned me so much from the onset? “Alright,” I chewed on a chunk of meat and gave a nod. “I hear you, Mother and Father.” Mother cleared her throat. “We just hope you're not planning to bring another woman into this pack, Rune,” she said with a smile I considered fake. “I'm sure you know we've had enough of your saga with the other gender.

    LILA POV There was no way I'd let him do something like that to not just himself, but me also. How could he? It was another morning after the last morning since we saw each other. And Rune was yet to say a word to me. Not because he didn't have words to say, but because we didn't get to set eyes on each other. “Good morning, my lady.” The guards and maids who were not far from the door of my room, greeted me as soon as I walked in. “Shall I do something for you this morning, my lady?” One of them asked while there was me who shook my head. What could she possibly do? I didn't need the regular help as it stands. What I needed was help to get back the man I love for myself. And how could they help me with that too? I looked ahead of me after shaking my head a second time, catching up with the dining table where the Alpha was seated. So where was Luna Elizabeth? “Good morning, Father.” The old man looked up from the screen of his phone. At the sight of me, he smiled and I gave a

    LILA POV My car was parked in the lot of The Illeth Pack in the morning. I reached for the entrance and ignored the greetings of the men by the door. “Is the young Alpha in? It's him I've come to see. Don't waste my time.” The men looked at themselves and one looked at me this time. “My young Alpha is in, my lady. But you can't disturb his sleep at this time of the morning. He came back very late last night and needs all the rest he can get before leaving again this morning.” What were they saying? Why should I care if the young Alpha was sleeping or not? I had come to stay in the pack just as Mother advised and maybe talk to him about his change. Didn't I wake up early this morning to prepare to be here? I looked at the men, pushed one aside, and walked to the door of my room. When I walked into the space, it was cleaned. In confusion, I turned around and looked at the door. Does it mean they've been expecting me long before now? With a smile on my face, I became more calm and
