"Let's end this. It can't go on any longer." Those words left my lips just as my heart caved in. Tears dropped from her eyes. She pleaded with me. But my mind was made up. More like 'I had no choice.' She might be my mate. But there are a lot of things keeping us from being together. First, she's an Omega. And I'm an Alpha. A union between an Alpha and an Omega was forbidden. My family will never accept her either. Second, she's from Blueberry Pack. And my pack has been at war with her pack for decades. It's like a vendetta. So I can never be with a girl from her pack. But I loved her so much that I was willing to give it a try. See as long as it goes. Too bad our love story was very short-lived. I rejected her on the spot and we never saw each other again. Four years later, our paths crossed. This time, she looks more radiant than ever and has a son. And I never got over my feelings for her. Being away from her put me through hell. I drowned in regrets and missed her terribly. Now I'm ready to risk it all for her, but how do I make her fall in love with me again? How do I convince her that I can be a great mate to her and a great father to our son and that I'm ready to fight for our love? How do I convince her not to fall in love with another? How do I stop her from falling for the CEO Alpha trying relentlessly to win her heart?
View MoreThe phone rings again, and I see that he's still calling, so I let it go to voicemail. I am not in the mood to have this conversation with him, especially at this time of night. I was not cut out for this, so I let it ring. When he gets tired, he will stop calling, or so I thought.The calls didn't stop, so I picked it up with enough rage at being denied my sleep."Lucien, I'm going to say this once for your benefit: stop calling me. I want to go to bed, and please never call me again. I don't ever want to speak to you. You're the last person I would want to talk to, so please do me a favor, stop calling and delete my number. Thank you.""Please, Alexa, just hold on a moment and hear me out. Don't cut the call. I'm so sorry for ambushing you with the questions tonight...""And I don't care for your apology. I just want to go to bed, so leave me alone." I'm furious now and standing my ground."Alexa, I'm sorry..." his voice breaks, and for the first time, I can't hear the confidence in
Alexa's POV“Umm, Alexa. Next week will be great. Liaise with my receptionist at the front desk, she will give you days when I’ll be free next week...”I merely nod, not trusting myself to speak.“Remember, early detection will help with the cure,” he explains to me.I am far too deep in my head to speak, “Of course, thank you, Doctor.”“You take care of yourself, Miss Dawn,” he tells me.I manage a small smile, “I will.”As I walk out the door, a beautiful sight greets me. Drake is sitting on the waiting chair, with his head against the wall, fast asleep. On his thigh is Trevor, who’s asleep too. Drake has his hands protectively around him, like they were father and son.I’m moved to tears despite my predicament, they are too perfect. I watch them for a while, taking the image of them to memory. The possibilities are endless, what could be, only if I let it.I am cruel, too cruel for being unable to love him. Drake is everything that any woman could want, he is more than a father to
Letty’s POVI am on the call, listening silently to the conversation between Lucien and his mother. I have a very satisfied smile on my lips as I listen to her rant. I couldn’t lie, the woman loved me. There were very few people who would fiercely come to the defense of a stranger over their own child.“Are we really pregnant?” my wolf asks in a soft voice. “It doesn’t feel like we are. I...”“Let it go, Lyla. Let me handle it,” I say in an assuring voice. I was already making plans, huge plans already set in motion. I just need the opportunity. Lucien was a roller-coaster of emotions, he is bound to drink again. Now all I need is to wait patiently for him to let his guard down. An extra dose than required and intense lovemaking with a man who thinks he’s with his ex is sure to do the trick.“Do you remember the last time we did it? It was unsuccessful. We can’t lie...”“Well, Lyla, you know what they say about a woman with a dream. She will do anything to make it work, absolutely any
Alexa’s POVThe hallway of the hospital, although familiar because I’ve been here a lot of times before today, felt much bigger and colder. The smell of different drugs intoxicating the air made me feel nauseous, like the first time I walked through those doors. A little trip through memory lane, and I pull myself to the present as I just realized that I don’t know where the hell I’m going.“Alexa...” I hear my name from what sounds like a distance but is just right behind me, and I pull myself back to the moment. I turn around to peer at Drake, he has a look of worry on his face.“Alexa, are you okay?” he asks, peering at me. “It seems like we are going the wrong way, and we need to retrace our steps or maybe ask for directions because the drugs are messing up my sense of smell.” He glances around, his nose scrunches up in disgust.I nod, “Yeah, I think we should ask for directions. I can’t believe I got us lost in this place.”He suddenly pulls me close. I didn’t feel Drake besides
Lucien’s POVI freeze at first at her words, my mind digs through all my memories, but nothing comes up. Pregnant? It was absurd. “You’re lying, Letty. You’re not pregnant!” I say in a harsh tone.“I am pregnant, Lucien,” her voice is strong and unflinching. “I am carrying our child in my womb, Lucien.”I scoff, “I haven’t touched you in a long time, Letty. We’ve gone long months without sex. If you think you’re pregnant, you may want to think harder about who the father may be.”She grows quiet all of a sudden and then in a really small voice, “We made love to each other a month ago,” she confesses.I have no memory of it. Letty and I haven’t been intimate for a longer period of time than was normal for a couple living together.“It was really hot sex...” She chuckles as if stifling a blush, “You were like a stallion starved, you turned me in many ways than I could count. It was long, passionate all night...”“Stop it, Letty,” I interjected sharply. “That’s e...” and then I recalled
Lucien’s POVI watch with slouched shoulders and sad eyes as the car drives off, feeling an emptiness in my heart much bigger than when I set out. I wanted to be with her and her son, everything felt right about that. I stare off into the distance until the car disappears from sight. Then my phone buzzes in my pocket, pulling me from my thoughts.I pick it up, “Hello,” I say in a flat tone, a bored look in my eyes.“Lucien...”I sigh and massage my temples, “What is it, Letty?” It was bad enough that I had to deal with her every day at home, but having to endure her unnecessary attitude even when I was miles away was exhausting.“Lucien, I’ve been trying to call you all day. You weren’t picking up your phone,” she says in a whiny voice, which seemed especially whiny today, or maybe I was just irritable.“I was at a meeting, Letty. An important meeting I told you about before I left the house. The same one I explicitly told you I didn’t want to be bothered at...”“Babe, I can’t help bu
Alexa’s POVLucien grabs my arm. “We need to talk, Alexa...”I fling his arm off of mine. I’m about to say something in anger when I see Trevor walk in sleepily, his nanny not far behind. She looks at all of us curiously, as if sensing the tension in the room. She averts her gaze. “Um...hi. He just woke up, he was calling for you.” She retreats and shuts the door.“Mama,” he calls out to me in a groggy voice. I grab my purse and crouch, waiting for him to come into my arms.As he walks up to me, he spots Lucien standing in the corner. He walks up to him instead and hands him the candy in his hand.It's hard to conceal the disappointment on my face as I watch them.“Take this,” he outstretches his little hand towards him. Lucien crouches in front of him, and in that moment, I can't look past their similarities. Their black hair, bluish-grey eyes, boyish smile...Lucien takes it from him. “Thank you so much, Trevor. Why are you giving me candy, though? It’s not my birthday yet.”Trevor
The words hang in the air between us, and I can tell he's using his alpha tone. The tension in the air is thick, and I realize I'm holding my breath. I hate it, the nerve of him to bark out orders to me like I belong to him, or like I'm part of his Pack. The rejection stings even harder now that I think about it.I clear my throat dramatically, tucking my hair behind my ear. I glare at him, but his expression remains unchanged. I subtly hint at him to step away, but he doesn’t move an inch. He completely ignores me, staring down at me, his eyes never leaving mine.Drake looks between the both of us in confusion. I can see it in his eyes, and in that moment, I can’t help but wonder what he’s thinking. Of course, he's not dumb, he probably has noticed the tension in the air between us, not to leave out Lucien who is ogling me like I'm his favorite dessert.I know I have to salvage the situation. Drake is already suspicious, and I don’t want him to figure it all out. If he knows, that me
Lucien’s POVMy eyes are fixated on her as she walks across the length of the room. I am gawking at her full legs, her shapely curves accentuated by the snug-fitting dress she had on. She sticks her nose in the air, a stiff smile on her lips as she walks past me, carefully averting her gaze. I notice her slightly red eyes and nose, my heart breaks at the thought. The thought that I hurt her, the thought that I broke her heart, makes me feel a pang of guilt in my chest.All I want to do is gather her up in my arms and apologize. I want to feel her pressed up against me, being in the same room and not getting any single attention from her is maddening.“Alexa,” Drake calls out to her affectionately. “How is he?”She shrugs. “He had to listen, rephrase that I had to make him listen to my warnings. So there’s a fifty percent chance he won’t wander off on his own again.”Drake chuckles lightly. “That is Trevor all right. We need round-the-clock eyes on him.”“Right? I have safely tucked hi
Alexa's POV"Where is he?" I mutter worriedly, staring at the pathway. It's getting darker and that's because night is fast approaching. He promised to meet me here, at our usual spot today. I've been waiting since afternoon and now it's almost night. Still no sign of him. I stare sadly at the small red box in my hand. Hours ago, I was so thrilled to give this to him. I wanna see the happiness on his face when he opens it and sees that I got him a watch. Maybe not as classy as the ones he's used to. But yeah, a watch. Because he loves watches a lot. I bought it to congratulate him on graduating high school today. We don't go to the same school and I can't step a foot into his Pack for fear of getting beheaded. So I didn't attend his graduation after-party. So I thought…I thought we'd celebrate here…but right now, I doubt if he's still coming. It's been over hours. Waiting here is pretty stupid of me. But I just can't find the will to leave. I miss him so much and I badly wanna se...
