Frederick*Before I could do anything, I already saw that witch making her way toward us. I was positive that she wouldn’t do anything to harm anyone physically, but sometimes words hurt more than any weapon. ‘Can I go and meet her?’ Nicole mind-linked.‘Don’t ask for my permission when you are well aware of my answer. You’re my Luna. Do whatever you want,’ I responded, caressing her cheek fondly. I didn’t want to ruin her mood, but we couldn’t agree on everything.Everyone in the family was wary of that one person.I inhaled and exhaled to calm myself when meeting the guests. Generally, I should have done with my Luna, but...“In that case, let’s greet our guest first. I’m sure Nonna can wait. It’s Nico’s first appearance in public, right?”Nico slapped his mother, flapping his hands happily.Just like I had expected, Nicole confidently stood in front of other Alpha couples without getting nervous or scared, while Nico, being Nico, sometimes stared at them with a poker face and som
Nicole * He wasn’t in a good mood, and of course, I was indirectly the reason behind it. To be honest, I was shocked to learn what Nonna had done. I wasn’t expecting her to stoop this low. “Excuse me. Nico is awake and crying," I said with a smile as I excused myself from the guest. I had no idea why, but everyone was damn too interested in knowing about me. The woman who rose from an omega to a luna had wrapped Alpha Frederick around her little finger. “Of course! I can say that he is fussy about the people around him. Therefore, he must be looking for you.” A few of them also indirectly tested my knowledge. But I was fully prepared for this battle, even without Frederick’s support. “Thank you for understanding.” I dashed toward Nico’s room, where Nonna was. “I need to talk with you,” I said in a low tone, looking at her. “But…” “Right now, Nonna.” She started to stand when I spoke again. “You can give a goodbye kiss to Nico if you want.” She narrowed her eyes, looking at me w
Five years later,*Nicole*“Nico, Lico!! "Come inside!" I yelled, watching Nico stand on the tree's branch and Lico sits under it with his book in his hand.Lawrence Elijah Glint. Our second son. We call him Lico as his nickname because his name is also long, like that of his older brother. Both my boys were unexpected and unplanned, but I didn’t regret having them.In fact, it was a positive experience to already have two pups when I was still twenty-six.Unlike Nico, Lico was a carbon copy of his father, including his hair and eyes. It was a little irritating that I gave birth to both of them, but none of them looked like me.‘Soha, bring them inside. It’s their snack time,’ I mind-linked Soha, who was looking after them. I wondered where Coco was. These three boys tend to stick together most of the time.*Soha*“Master Nico, please come down. You might fall,” I said with tension. He grinned and started jumping on the tree branch when he heard me.“I’m Nicholas Frederick Glint, S
Felicity*I smiled, looking at myself in the mirror. I had worn a pink satin draped tail floor-length gown, featuring a bodycon corset and thigh-high slit, and matching golden heels.This was the last time I was going to fit inside this beautiful gown because I doubted that after pregnancy I would be this slim. I smiled again at that thought.I couldn’t believe that I was pregnant and that Massimo was going to be a father now. My chosen mate, Massimo De Luca, was the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack. And I had been in love with him from the moment I met him; I didn't even know the meaning of love. So, when he asked me to marry him, I didn’t think twice before saying yes. Only to realize that Massimo wanted just a perfect Luna for his pack, nothing more than that.I knew that discovery hurt me a lot, but by putting on a happy face, I did what Massimo expected of me in the hope of him falling in love with me someday, and it had been two years since that incident.I didn’t know whether he
Felicity*‘Dad brought you to my pack from the orphanage. Do you think that she could be your sister? Elder or younger?’I never felt bad whenever Massimo mentioned ‘my pack’ instead of ours, but for some reason tonight, I couldn’t take his words in a positive way. Maybe I was not able to use my mind properly and was scared to lose him.‘I’m the only child of my parents. No need to compare me with your mate,’ I couldn’t help but snap at him, and I gave a small nod to Luna of the neighbouring pack with a smile.I felt his eyes on me, but I looked at him with a smile. ‘I just thought... but never mind, you're too blinded by jealousy to understand anything. But what I don’t understand is why. I never promised you... He stopped when he realised something.‘I hope you aren’t pregnant yet, are you?’‘What is going on in your mind, Imo?’ Instead of answering his question. I finally asked him directly. I wasn’t a fool who couldn’t see how his eyes weren’t leaving his mate until I snapped.‘F
Felicity*I returned to the mating ball because of the responsibilities of the Luna of the pack. Even though these are the last few days of this role from now on, I wouldn’t abandon it.I checked the time before texting our family lawyer’s number to meet me at the packhouse for the preparation of the divorce agreement tomorrow. I knew he would keep this to himself, so I wasn’t worried about this news traveling like fire in the forest.I personally congratulated those pack members who found their mates while cheering for those who couldn’t find their mates tonight.Soon, Massimo joined me, and we acted like a perfect couple to avoid any gossip.*"You know that I can sense your feelings even though you’re good at faking your smile," He said while dancing. Since we were doing the Waltz, we had to come close to each other every few seconds, and his closeness was affecting me. It was breaking the tough face that I had maintained."Your point?"He hissed before speaking, "You started show
Felicity*After the three-hour drive, I finally reached Massimo’s Grandpa’s cottage, where he was spending the last couple of years of his life in memory of Grandma.Others would learn about all this divorce and rejection sooner or later. I wanted him to learn about this from me because Massimo didn’t know how to talk with his Grandpa because they never got along, especially after Massimo chose me as his chosen mate.Grandpa wanted him to choose anyone but me."If you’re here to say Goodbye for the last time, then say it and leave." I heard his voice from the kitchen as I walked inside his small and beautiful cottage. I wasn’t eyeing his homely cottage, but I loved the place where it was built between a field of colorful flowers, along with the way it was maintained by the one and only Grandpa. "If you’re planning to ask for this cottage as alimony, then remember that this belongs to me, not Simo." Finally, he came out of the kitchen with a spatula in his hand."Don’t worry, Grandpa.
Felicity*"I’m pregnant, Grandpa," I mumbled, answering the question that he had asked before."I figured that out already by realizing the amount of perfume you’ve used." He paused before continuing, "Don’t stress over the fact that he will find out about pregnancy because he won’t, not until I want him to find out about my great-grandchild. I might have retired from all the work, but everyone still listened to me before him."I knew what I was doing was wrong for my pup’s father as well as my pup, but the choice that Massimo had given me was also cruel."Join me in the kitchen now. I want to eat my favorite dessert tonight." He changed the topic.After half an hour, we settled on the table for dinner."Why are you helping me instead of your Grandson?" I couldn’t help but ask."I’m just protecting my great-grandchild's mother’s mental health in the early phase of the pregnancy because watching them together won’t be easy for you and stress might lead to miscarriage." I smiled weakly
