LILA POV

Finally!

The moment I was waiting for was here.

A smile on my face forced my hand to relax on the sterling. Where was he going? Wait. There was something I noticed and didn't bother taking notes of.

A car drove past me a while ago.

It was definitely from the pack.

No other cars had such designs in the Estate, according to what I know. That was who? Setting my key in motion, I started the ride. Rune was ahead of me but I slowed down so that I was not caught.

Where was he going?

It didn't look like he was going on his own, to someplace. It looked like he was following the person who drove past me before he did.

Picking up my phone, I dialed Mother. “I'm on my way,” I announced when the call was taken. “I think I have him. I do, Mother. He's on his way to someplace and I'm behind him but not directly.”

“Fair enough.”

Without waiting to hear what she could have to say next, I ended the call and went about my ride. I could lose track of him if he left my side, and that w

    RAVEN POV “This works.” Aella gave a nod. Since we got to the boutique, it was anything I preferred she agreed with. “Do you always have to agree, Aella?” At some point, I couldn't hold back my thoughts so I asked the question. “Take another cart and go picking. I'll filter them when we're ready to pay and leave, mm?” Happily, she gave a nod and started to walk away. The next time I saw her, she walked past me and headed to a section of socks - what I believe we needed. Winter was coming and the babies would be needing as many socks as possible. The thought of having them in less than three months brought a smile to my face. It was high time I went for my next appointment, and it happened to be tomorrow. Just when I wanted to move again, I looked up and it looked like there was a gaze I met, but this person was gone from my sight. Was I imagining things? Of course not. I held the handle of the cart and started to walk again, smiling with the many thoughts running around my head

    LILA POV It was hard. Very hard to believe what I had seen. Who would think that Rune would go after her after all that he's done to make her a sad woman? I hated him so much for making me look so stupid. What was he trying to do? Make me go through another series of hurt and pain? More tears ran down my face and I heaved a sigh, over and over and over again - not knowing what to do and how to go about it. “Take this.” It was Mother. She came into my room with a mug of tea she believed would cure my hurting heart. “It'll help calm the mood.” Taking a seat on the bed and next to me, she added. I believed it was a lie, and I also didn't mind trying. I needed to heal from what I had seen. If possible, forget everything I saw back there yesterday. “Mother, he looked so desperate to speak with her. Why do I feel so stupid? I should have known he'd go back to get her. Take a look at me and see how I lose.” The older woman chuckled. “Did you say lose? Of course not. You haven't lost an

    RUNE POV Getting over what had happened at the boutique was a hard thing to do, but I got over it eventually. Another day, another morning. Waking up with relief, I sat up on the bed. No, I got off the bed and walked to the door. I was hungry and needed to put something in my mouth. Since what happened had happened, I hadn't been eating enough but it was very different today. “Good morning, Young Alpha Rune. How was your sleep?” One of the maids smiled and stopped in her tracks. It looked like she was ready to attend to me and I didn't mind for a moment. “What shall I do for you this morning?” I heaved a sigh and thought about it. “I want a tray of food. With varieties of many things in it.” I explained, walked to the diner space, and took a seat, meeting her gaze and asking. “Did you understand what I said, my lady?” And she gave a nod before a bow, not speaking a word but turning around and leaving the space. A door opened. I turned to look at it. It was Father, a man who

    LILA POV Why was everyone looking at me as though they had just seen a ghost? With the boxes that I held, I turned to look at Mother who smiled at me. And then the royals who had come out to see who drove into the compound. What were they expecting?Raven?That was the look on Rune's face and maybe not the others. What did I ever do to him? The silence became more than awkward. Wasn't I welcomed into the pack any longer? I smiled and walked closer, bowed to Luna and the Alpha of the pack before facing Rune who was yet to smile. “Hello, Lila. Good morning and welcome back,” the Alpha finally said. “It's good to see you're very okay health-wise. How have you been?” He asked and looked at Mother who was waiting for them to say something to her. Why was she avoided as though she was a ghost? “I am alright, Father. Thank you so much for asking. How are you too?” I asked him who nodded, walking closer so that he could stand face to face with Mother who brought me from The Oxen Pack to

    RAVEN POV I snatched my towel from the wardrobe and headed to the bathroom. Only four more days and my vacation was over. I hadn't seen the doctor yet which shouldn't be so. The thought of this reminded me about how careless I could be sometimes, although I was certain that the babies were safe. They didn't have issues in the meantime and this was because of how I prioritized fruits and vegetables. As soon as I finished my bath, my gaze darted to the wall clock in my room and there it was. I had almost three hours more to spend in the house before finally leaving for the hospital. I must have something to eat before anything else. So with the towel wrapped around my large stomach, I walked into the kitchen - thinking of what to eat and then making up my mind the very next moment. Turning around, I walked to the store where crop fruits were kept. Taking about three small potato crops, I walked back to the space and set to work. It didn't take long for me to be done with the cooking

    RAVEN POV Thankfully, I was more than ready for my trip with Logan. With my handbag that was brought down from its shelf, I walked out of the room. “Hello, Logan. Come on in. Welcome.” With a smile, he did just that. And that was when he took his hand from behind where he kept it all this while, revealing a bouquet. A beautiful one. “This is for you. I—I don't know but—”“Thank you!” I was grinning from ear to ear at this point and took it from him. “It was so thoughtful of you to do this, Logan. Thank you so much. Would you like to eat? I have some potatoes I fried that haven't been touched yet.” I explained to the man who was shaking his head already.“Okay—” A smile that was still plastered on my face. “I'll be right back. I need to keep this somewhere very safe.” I mouthed and was gone from his sight. The next time I came back, I had taken shots of the flowers in my room where it was kept. How did Logan know I needed to teach Rune some lessons? I smiled at him and asked.

    RUNE POVThere was an awkwardness existing in the house. A lot of them and I feared the beauty of the pack was beginning to vanish from our eyes. What was wrong? What did I do wrong too? Staring at the ceiling from where I lay, these and many thoughts ran around my head. What was I going to do to change the look of things? Why did I get myself involved in all of these in the first place? Sitting up on the bed, I heaved a knowing sigh and picked up my phone from the table next to the bed. And just then, I stared at its screen. The wall clock before my eyes was not enough means of checking the time, and I was not myself. Not for a moment. Standing on my feet, I decided to go about my daily routine as usual. How could I forget it? Taking a seat again, I stared at the screen of my phone for a long time before making up my mind to do the usual: stalking Raven's page like I used to. And now I was staring at her profile. Something was off about it. What was that? Looking at the p

    LILA POV I was all set, ready to leave the pack for the hospital this morning. But not without Rune. “Good morning, my lord,” taking a seat on another chair, I greeted the man who moped at me, nodding his head on second thought. “Did you have a good night's sleep?” He nodded again. But this time, he looked like he had something to say so I kept mute. “Good morning, Lila. I had a good night's sleep. How did you sleep?” “I tried.” The silence that ruled the space was somehow. Not so good for someone I was in love with, but I was still willing to give it a chance. I would wait for him to come around, especially when we were leaving the house together. “Uh—” he looked up. “You look like you're leaving the pack for someplace. Where are you headed this morning?” Asking, he turned around to look at the kitchen door, leaving me to wonder if there was something he was expecting, but what did I know? I had joined him at the table for a reason. A reason I was about to make known to him

    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

    RUNE POVThe man by the gate hailed while I led my way into the compound - headed for the lot. 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
