Chapter 1: My luck is a ten letter word

last update Last Updated: 2024-09-05 15:26:10

THALIA

The moment is perfect.

No, correction—it was supposed to be perfect but it's not. I'm losing my sanity, the last bit of it that's left after my mate openly admitted to cheating on me because I never can be good enough for him or the ideal expectations of his pack. All the pain I've felt over the last couple of years was to be erased by today but instead it piled up into one and hit me in a gaint wave. It's simply not fair, today was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, the day I was to meet the perfect little gift the moon goddess sent me but it's turned into nothing but a tormenting stillness.

My gaze shifts from the bright pink walls of the hospital room to where my best friend stands, her back to me while she talks on the phone. Even there I can see the same color wall taunting me, its the exact shade of my daughters nursery. I push myself off the bed and walk towards Mariella, her whispers now loud enough for me to hear. “No, please come and see her. Thalia can't lose you both today, please.” she whispers, sniffling.

“He doesn't want to see me?” I ask, startling Mariella.

Marielle hastly pockets her phone, shaking her head. “Of course he wants to see you but he's hurting right now and-”

“What about me Ella? I'm hurting too, this is my daughter we're talking about. I carried that little girl for months, I watched her grow inside me everyday, I felt her moving and when it was time to meet her she was dead? How do you think I feel about all this?”

“I know you loved her.” Mariella frowns, guiding me back to the bed I've been confined to for hours now. “I'm hurt too Thalia, and it's killing me to know that I can't take away your pain. Darling, I would give anything to erase this feeling but I can't.” she cries, shaking her head.

I wish I could cry too, but I know crying would mean I accept this horrid dream and I have hope I'll still wake up to my baby kicking in my tummy.

“Mariella, no.” I try to wipe her tears, she’s been crying since she told me my daughter died inside me. “I'm fine, see? I'm not hurting.”

“That's because you haven't seen her Thalia, you haven't seen her little body, she’s so blue and frail. You'll break if you see her like that, I don't know what I'll do if I end up losing you like we've lost my niece.” Mariella sobs, her tears heavier now.

My head instantly shakes, “I can't see her like that.”

“I'm sorry Thalia, you did everything you could but some things are out of your control.”

But she's wrong, I didn't do everything I could have. When I was held captive in that dark cell I was given the opportunity to call my baby's father and he would have come for us with an army but I wanted to prove I didn't need his protection. I wanted to prove I was strong, and in the process I ended my daughters life before it begun, this is all my fault. Baby Arabella doesn't deserve to have her killer holding her, or so much as burying her. I wouldn't want my child's killer anywhere near her so I won't be, I'll let her go with the peace she couldn't come into this world with. I hate myself, and I hope she never forgives me for not putting her first.

With every tear Mariella sheds on my shoulder, I wish she would have been Arabella's mother because then my darling angel would have been alive today. “Please cry, Thalia please. I want to let you grieve at your own pace but I can't, this is unhealthy.”

Is it? Maybe, but I've tried to cry. An hour ago I slit my wrists hoping to join my daughter or at least feel some sort of pain but nothing came from it. I'm numb, numb yet my soul aches and weeps for my daughter.

Mariella shakes me, my body waned. “Thalia please, cry!”

“I can't!” I snap back at her. “I can't cry Ella, I've tried so hard to cry but my daughter deserves better than to have her killer mourn her death. That little girl deserves better she needed a better mother, one that could keep her alive not me, she doesn't deserve me.”

“She's your daughter of course you can cry, please.”

The door swings open, the bang when it hits the other end startles Mariella but not me. Knox, my mate and daughter's father stands there.

I haven't seen Knox for two weeks, the last time I saw him was when we had a fight and I left him. Hurtful words were said, mostly by me and I highly regret them even though it's no use having regrets now.

Knox steps further into the room, watching me with revulsion and I know why. “What use it begging her to cry over my daughter when she didn't want my child in the first place?”

His child, not our child but his. Knox doted on me from the moment he found out I was pregnant with her and now that she's dead, he doesn't want to see my face. Even he knows it's my fault Arabella died, I couldn't give her life or protect her.

“Knox.” Mariella shifts, standing between him and I. I watch her her steady hand on his rising chest. “Not now, Thalia is not in her right mind she’s still shocked by what’s going on.”

“Of course she isn't, look at her! What idiot puts themselves at risk while pregnant and refuses to seek help? She did this to our daughter, and that too with no remorse. Look at her, silently waiting for the moment the rest of my world crumbles at her pleasure.” He snarls, his voice rising with each word. “Tell me Thalia, was it worth it? Was making my daughter fight for her life worth getting revenge on me?” he asks, trying to reach for me but Mariella stops him.

All self control, all that bitterness I've felt washes over me and I finally snap, pushing Mariella out of the way. “What?!” I snap at Knox. “What do you want me to say? That I don't care about our baby? That she's better off dead because then I don't have to deal with you and whatever slut you put in your bed? That I wish you would die along with her? Because I do, this might be my fault but you pushed me here so don't act so innocent and paint me out to be the bad guy because I'm not. I carried your daughter, I wanted nothing more than to hold that little girl in my arms but I can't.” I breathe, a tear finally leaving my eyes.

“Thalia.” Mariella warns, watching the wreck I caused, the pit of bitterness I'm drowning my mate and I in.

“I don't want you to be the bad guy, I want to believe that you love her even just a little bit.”

“How?” I cry out, unsure of what it is that I can do to prove I loved—love my daughter.

He takes my hand in his, “Come and see her.” he offers, but I drop my hand instantly.

“Knox you can't force..” Mariella's panicked voice fades out with Knox's growl of disapproval which is enough to silence us both.

Knox's hand wraps around my wrist, tugging me with him but I protest. “Please Thalia, come and see your daughter and hold her just once. After that, you can do as you desire but see her.”

“I can't look at her, I don't want to see her.” I shake my head, already picturing her blue and cold. I've imagined my daughter so many times and she was alive, I want to keep her alive in my memories even though I couldn't in existence.

“Why?” Knox snaps, “Are you so bitter that you're willing to let our daughter-”

“Stop.” Mariella comes between us, putting some distance between us. “Don't fight, you two love each other.”

My body turns cold at the memories of every hurtful word Knox has ever said to me, all the years he spent bullying me before pretending to love me just so he could sleep with me. “I don't love him, I hate him nearly as much as I do myself right now.”

Mariella cries, her pain reminding me how many hearts I've broken by failing my daughter. “No, do you really think this is the right time to fight?”

“I don't want to fight her, I don't care if she leaves me or kills me I just want her to see my daughter once, the doctor...”

“Thalia.” Mariella interrupts, “Go and see her. See your daughter even if it's the last time please go and hold that little girl.”

    Thalia.” Mariella interrupts, “Go and see her. See your daughter even if it's the last time please go and hold that little girl.” “No.” I shake my head, falling to the floor in tears. Mariella saw Arabella and hasn't stopped sobbing since, I can't see her. I want to but it's selfish to have her murderer hold her or prepare her for cremation. “Don't bring or let her near me. I can't look a her, please understand Knox. Leave me alone, you can bury her or cremate her but just don't—” Knox's face twists with contempt. “How could you even say that..” he trails off, for the first time since he heard I was pregnant, I see him cry. “You know what, Thalia? I wouldn't even dream of letting you anywhere near my daughter.” I nod, tears streaming down my face while I refuse to look at him. I can't decide what hurts more between losing my daughter or the way he looks ay me. “I prefer it that way.” “I can't believe I fell in love with you, you keep telling me I'm harsh but it's you that need

    KNOX The last few days have gone by fast, but not fast enough because I couldn't bring my daughter back home. My heart bleeds for her, I failed her as a parent by choosing Thalia as my life partner. I've always hated Thalia, long before I knew she was mate but ever since I fell prey to the mate bond and my wolf's need for her I've never seen anything she does as wrong. I was thinking with my dick and now she not only hurt me and my wolf but our daughter too. The cold eyes that stared at me telling me to bury or just cremate my daughter are far from what I fell for. My whole world started and ended with her, everyone knew it and she exploited that. I made one mistake, months ago and her thirst for vengeance has me drowning in a pit of anguish. Thalia did warn me she would get back at me, make sure to hit me where it hurts the most and she did exactly just that when she refused to see our daughter, refused to hold her like a mother should. “You're out of control, Knox. He didn'

    “Who is he?” “My mate.” she lowly whispers, “He said he wouldn't be available and is traveling in another country but he's here.” Thalia looks awfully comfortable with the foreign man, this isn't the depressed girl Mariella has been painting her out to be. If anything she looks happy, content with what she has done to my daughter and I. “I'll call him.” Mariella snarls, dailing his contact but I don't see her, I'm too busy watching Thalia with a building rage. The man leaves her and she grins politely as he steps away. “Baby.” he responds, out of view but Thalia's in sight. “Tell me you have a twin identical to you right now or I swear to God, Nate.” “Baby, what are you talking about?” Mariella huffs, “Why are you flirting with my best friend? I told you she's not in a good place right now and how the hell did you even find her?” “Thalia and I go way back and I wasn't flirting. Where are you? We need to talk, I came to talk about our relationship I can't go on lik

    A light tap on my door nearly startled me. “Umm, Eliza. I've got to go but send the schedule to Amara and I will handle the rest.” “But Thalia-” Eliza whines, right before I cut the call. Whoever it is on the other end of the door knocks again but his time I'm there to open it. My assistant stands on the other end, a tablet in hand and yellow roses in hand. “From Keir.” she grins, placing the flowers in my hand. Kier is my boyfriend, we met when I was college and had one night stand since then he has not left me alone. I didn't think I could get into a relationship after leaving Flame Valley but with Kier, I'm good its what I deserve. The only thing bigger than his dick is his ego but I can live with that. I take the flowers from her, and peek at the note in the flowers. 'Pretty flowers, for my pretty girl.' I read the card in his voice, a neverending apology. “Amara, do we have something planned this morning?” I frown, shocked to see her in my house so early. Surely Keir

    “Alpha.” she calls, and with that my stomach sinks. It's him, it's alpha Knox Winslow. My mate, my deceased daughters father, my villain, my hero and right beside him Ryan, his beta. I swallow the huge lump that forms in my throat when his eyes meet mine, glaring with the same animosity as the day I lost our daughter. Fighting hard to not recall every insult, taunt and atrocity he's uttered to me since four years ago I gulp once again. “Knox, this is Rose.” Cassidy's gaze shifts to me. “Rose, Alpha Knox, the best man.” Knox glares at me throughout Cassidy's introduction. I take my time to eye him, to appreciate the way he's visibly grown now. The moon goddess has favorites and trust me, Knox Winslow is number one through five on that list. The man is flawless, perfect even with his tremendous ego. Knox takes one step forward and out of habit, I take one back. “Run, Thalia.” “What?” Cassidy snorts. Ryan tugs at Knox's arm, his gaze pitiful when he looks at me. “Knox, not he

    “You let her win.” Ryan settles beside me, downing whats left of my drink. “Yeah.” I admit, swallowing past the bitter taste of my relinquished defeat. “Couldn't look at her face any longer.” Ryan laughs, “But you gave it a good five minute look huh?” I dismiss him, he never did get over her leaving me. “So, can I speak on her now that she's here?” “Go and talk to her instead of talking about her.” I snap, “My rule still stands, I never want to hear about her.” “Knox..” His lips stretch into a grin, am I amusing him? “I would talk to her but she seems busy.” He trails off, looking over my shoulder. I mirror his gaze to where Thalia is, laid up on the table with I shot glass on her tits. I don't reckon why or when I leave the bar, getting stopped by Victor, just in time before I flip the damn table Thalia is on. “Umm, Knox this means a lot. I know how you feel about the topic of her so Thanks for not killing her, man.” “Don't thank me yet.” I grunt, watching Thalia take a

    There's a knock on my window which startled us both. “All the time!” Thalia groans, her frown flipping upside down when she sees who is out there. “Cassie darling, hi.” “Come on, let's get you to bed.” “No, I want to stay here.” she pouts, her head laying against my chest. Cassidy taps the window, “There's cherries.” she grins, and that's enough to make Thalia slide off my lap and out the car. I follow right after, heading straight to my bedroom to jerk off to the feel of my fingers inside her. I make quick work freeing my cock and begin to gently caress the length with the two fingers I just had inside Thalia's pussy. I fist my sore cock to the fresh memory of her whimpers as I fingered her and for a moment, I feel her near me, I smell her. The memory of her makes me come quickly, leaving me spent, with my cum on the floor as I lean against the bedroom wall. My cock twitches in my hand just as the door swings open, then shut by the time I shove my cock into my jeans. “

    THALIAI awaken to the sound of echoes around me, not my usual bird sound alarm clock.I try to move but arms lay heavy on me, a familiar scent enveloping the entirety of me. One. Two. Three....fifteen. It takes me fifteen minutes before my eyes fly open at the realization of what—who that scent is associated to. Knox.With my heart pounding, I slowly veer beside me only to be met by the crook of his neck in my midsection. It's a dream right? It has to be, Knox can't be here with me, much less naked underneath the covers. I must have fallen asleep on the plane to Cassidy's bachelorette party...the party, no I already went. My memory seems to have hazed, with only the glares Knox shot at me emerging clear. I instantly lift his arm off me, careful not to wake him for obvious reasons. I notice my clothes are discarded near the bed with his at the door. "Run." His voice echoes my mind along with flashes of the entire night hitting me, worsening my headache.

    KNOXI'm a mess.My bond to Thalia is trying to overpower my hatred for her but unlike four years ago, I'm a rational man. I can't let her get to me, not after what she did to my daughter, it's not unheard of for some women to behave that way towards their pups but I didn't foresee that from Thalia. Even now, she plays nice with children, confusing me even more. I can't wreck my brain thinking why she did it because the last time I did, it nearly cost me my pack, and my people's lives. Thalia all that, my enemies knew I was weakened in a way, and every life that was lost while I was drinking and cussing her name weighs heavy on my conscience. There's something about the way she acts that makes me lose my sanity, all logic, it all gets blinded by something. It's like she's fragile, yes that's it, that's how she lures me in. Just like two nights ago at Ryan's birthday party, she appeals to my Alpha nature and I stupidly fall for it, I'm a sucker for the way I could effortlessly bring

    “Run?” I turn around to find Beta standing behind me. “Hi,” I nervously laugh. “Great party huh?” “It would be if you weren't running from me.” “I wasn't, you were busy and my job was done the second you were surprised.” He nods, watching me. “So you hang out with me because Nova asked?" “Yes and no.” “Help me understand Amara, I'm not too good at this type of thing.” Cute, he must be bluffing because he's very popular with the ladies. “I did it because I like hanging out with you.” “Why?” he asks, his lips twitching with a smile. My cheeks heat up as I find the courage to look him in the eye again. “You know why.” “Hmm, but I need you to say it, sweetheart.” Ugh, moon goddess, this man. You did your triple big one with him, there's no faults to him even his pushing me to admit my feelings is insanely attractive. “Because I like you, Ryan.” This time, he grins, his gaze searching mine and I can guess his next word before he speaks. “Why?” “Oh, you're maki

    My heart does this thing where I feel like I might die from too much excitement but it only makes me weak in the knees. She claimed me, she called me hers and I would love nothing more than for her to be serious about that statement. Nikolai frowns, “Come on, share the good guy.” “No. We are leaving before you infect him with loser. “I'll see you tomorrow night?” No, what's tomorrow night and why is he saying it with that wide smile? “Yes, I love you.” she smiles, going in for the hug he begged for earlier. My heart is shuttered, until he speaks, leaving me speechless. “Love you too lil sis.” His sister, that explains a lot—Not. If Niko has zero ops, then Amara must be dead and if he has a hundred then trust Amara recruited ninety-nine more. “Ryan, he reaches for my shoulder but Amara is quick to seat it away. “Don't touch him, Niko. You already got me one for three.” Nikolai smirks, “Ryan if you're being threatened to hang out with this menace, let me know. You're officiall

    RyanThis might just be one of my core memories, I initially planned to seek Amara out at the game but sitting next to her? Premium experience.Tearing up my tickets was the best thing Arabella Venus and Katie Rose have ever done for me, it not only provided me with a reasonable excuse to give my buddies, but it put me in the best seat in the house, right next to Amara.This town is the primary Vulture fan club, so that puts Amara in the 0.8 percentile of people who hate the club. Still, that didn't make her shy away from yelling, screaming, and bullying the Vultures each time they scored. Nikolai, the star of today's match was her biggest victim, she nagged, called his tricks sheer luck, and booed at his every score and honestly it was so hot to watch. Much to her dismay, my team beat hers by a whopping six points but it didn't affect her mood, she has been invariably cheerful.“Do you want to go ?” I nudge her, watching the way she peeks at the queue to the locker rooms.“No,” she

    MARIELLA Alpha has been ignoring my calls, and Arabella is restless, awaking every half hour if not an hour at best to ask if her daddy is home yet. This has made it hard for me to fall asleep either because she comes looking for me to ask again and again. Nobody knows where he is, and this isn't the first time this has happened so I sit in the dimly lit kitchen, scrolling through my phone with a cup of coffee in hand to reward myself for putting Bella to sleep for over an hour now. It's nearly four in the morning, maybe I can go back to sleep, but I can't risk being awakened by loud sobbing at my bedside. My lips stretch into a wide grin, my cheeks undoubtedly flushed from the dirty thoughts I get looking at a picture of Alpha Knox, shirtless. The creaking sound of the kitchen door opening wipes my smile away, my hand grips my mug tighter, ready to swing at the intruder but when I see him, my nerves calm immediately. He doesn't notice me, I watch him stagger as he enters the

    “Not particularly, I just meant that—” Ryan chuckles, winking at me, “I'm kidding.” “You know, the downside of this efficient work you've accomplished is you won't have anything to do for the next two months. Our schedule was cleared for at least seven months.” Amara reminds me, of a detail I missed when I was plotting to complete the project fast enough to get me away from Knox and my bitter-sweet memories attached to Flame Valley. “I guess I'm finally taking time off work.” I shrug, the idea itself sounds ludicrous. If I'm not in a courtroom or handling legal aspects of our pack negotiations, who am I? Amara laughs, ostensibly unconvinced. “Oh please, attorney T.R Laurel doesn't rest. You'd work in your sleep, let's face it, you're not normal.” “That's not true,” I frown. “I know how to be normal.” “Rose, you work on your off days.” she sighs, leaning back in her seat. “You're the prime definition of a workaholic.

Everyone from Flame Valley is in their seats when we arrive, but none of them expect to see me but Knox seems pissed at my presence and it's not because I'm nowhere dressed for the meeting. “Good afternoon, all.” Amara greets, settling down beside me. “Sorry, I'm late. Shall we start?” “Where's Alpha Ezra?” I don't look at him as I answer, “He had an emergency so I'll be substituting for him.” “An emergency?” he scoffs, “He should have communicated with me before resorting to—” “His wife is sick, you insensitive psycho.” I snap, my tone surprising even myself. He's not here because he didn't want to cancel yet again.” Ryan clears his throat, “I'll get the projector.” “Thank you, Ry.” I smile, my voice much softer and calmer as opposed to when I spoke to Knox.

I turn my attention to the Thalia lookalike. “Hello.” she grins, looking even more like Thalia.“Amara, this is Mariella, Knox's finance, his kid. My kid.” Nova tells me, gesturing to each individual.
