“Your daughter,” Stephanie said in disbelief. “You are joking right.” Mr Hanks shook his head, “I am not joking Stephanie, I know the whole thing sounds ridiculous and I don't blame you if you doubt me but, the first time I saw you I was sure you were my Annie, you have Maya's can'terism, height everything, you look just like her. Even her hair color, Maya's hair was red just like yours. I used to call her my little fox.” His voice cracked as he spoke, anyone listening could tell he loved his Maya.“I don't know.” Stephanie finally said after some minutes. “I was raised at the orphanage and the information I was given was that both my parents were dead and I have come to accept that all my life. After the fire incident at the orphanage, I was so young when it happened, we were sleeping one minute, and the next minute we heard screams and we were evacuated. The survivors among us were taken to different places and I was taken to a pack called Eclipse pack. The Alpha then was Alpha Kin
THREE YEARS LATERTime they say heals old wounds. Stephanie was a testament to that, as days turned to months she had been able to forget and forge ahead from the pains and torments she suffered from and survived. She believed she started to heal better after discovering that Mr. Hanks was her father. The DNA test had come out stating that they were indeed related, everyone in the room had cried especially Stephanie and her father. Mr. Hanks had apologized for not being in her life all those years. He was sorry for not being man enough to take care of his responsibilities which was her. He knew it was too late to go back to the past and make amendments, but he was ready to be in her life if she would allow him.Stephanie cried harder after he made the declaration, memories of what she had been made to go through years past flooded her mind. But she was willing and ready to heal and forge ahead with her life. It was the universe giving her a second chance, a new life with a father she
Stephanie was greeted by the welcoming faces of her father's workers, since joining her father's company, they had always shown her respect and love which she cherished a lot. On entering her father's office, he welcomed her with a big smile that covered his face.“Here comes the daughter with whom I am well pleased.” her father said with a wide grin, “You look exceptionally beautiful today my dearest.”Stephanie smiled loving every bit of her father in her life. “Thank you, Father, though I know you exaggerated sometimes.” Mr.Hanks gave a deep-throated laughter “No I don't.”Stephanie sneered “If you say so father. My secretary said you wanted to see me.”“Yes I do, I tried your number but it was out of reach.” “Sorry about that, I forgot to remove it from airplane mode after my meeting.” “Were you able to get the contract from our African client?”“Yes, I already signed and I believe my secretary would have scanned the copy over to them,” Stephanie replied, her voice showing her
Find your mate and live happily ever after they say.Catching sight of her mate, Alpha Damien, Stephanie felt her heart leap into her throat, and not for good reasons too.Truth be told, she cared about him probably more than she should, considering his horrendous ways with her... but he was her mate, and she was his Luna.He treated her like crap, a mere possession to use and discard as he pleased."Here you are; of what use are you to me" He barked on reaching herStephanie is taken aback by his words, his temper not so much. She would never do right by him no matter how hard she tried."Did you need something? What can I get you?" Stephanie asked in a low voice, pushing away the hurt creeping into her heartAlpha Damien hisses at her, his anger evident in the way he looks at her. He cursed softly at his father for insisting he get married to her. He had wanted another but his father and the moon goddess had other plans, now he had to settle for less.Without another word, he starte
Stephanie sprawled on the floor as soon as he left. She gave in to the pain that enveloped her, her quiet sobs rocking her small frame.It was moments like this that she wished Alpha Damien had rejected her, it would have been a better fate for her. She felt more alone than ever even though she was married to her mate. In her loneliness, she yearned for a child, an heir for Alpha Damien but it was evident that hedid not want to have a child with her because he pulled out of her each time they had sex, except for today.*************NEXT DAYStephanie wakes up to the smell of bacon and pancakes. It was her favorite meal and somehow she knew the cook was making it especially for her. He seemed to have an intuitive mind of when she was down and needed a mood lift.She tidied up and decided to wear makeup. The bags under her eyes needed to be masked, she had not slept well last night. For some time now she tossed and turned her heart heavy with pain.As soon as the chef saw her he gave
Sometimes your whole world turns upside down when you least expect it to. Even though I was officially mated and married to Alpha Damien, he continued having an affair with Ava, his girlfriend before we married.First, he kept it a secret after our marriage, But he later threw caution to the wind and showed off their relationship not minding how Stephanie felt. Stephanie being a soft-spoken and gentle-natured girl who wanted no trouble pretended as if she did not notice anything going on between them. The whole situation only made her yearn for a baby, with the hope that a child would bring them together and he might start to love and appreciate her more. But all efforts to get pregnant proved abortive and at worst Alpha Damien seemed not too keen to have a child with her.And now that his father was dead, she knew her fate was about to get worse unless there was a miracle.***************It had been two days since Mr. King died and no one in the pack had seen Alpha Damien, he had le
"Thank the goddess for Ava," Alpha Damien sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "I was foolishly blinded by your deceptive innocence, but she opened my eyes to the truth about you. You're nothing more than a gold-digging daughter of silver."Stephanie’s head shut up at Alpha Damien’s word, she should have known that Ava was behind this.Since her marriage to Alpha Damien, Ava has accused her of taking what belonged to her. But it was not Stephanie’s fault that the goddess chose her to be the mate to Alpha Damien and Luna of the Eclipse Pack. even though alpha Damien had prevented her from performing her duties as the Luna and instead appointed others to do tasks she could have easily done, she was still Luna although it was mostly by title.Stephanie wondered now if Ava was behind her not getting her full rights as Luna, if she was capable of making alpha Damien accuse her of killing his father then she must have done worse in the past.Stephanie could feel her fury building up,
Alpha Damien ran from his office to Stephanie's room. He wanted to ensure that he hurt her more. Disbelief at her acceptance of his rejection while also rejecting him was a big blow to his ego.When he reached her room, he barged in and met Stephanie packing her bags. A part of him was distraught, especially his wolf who was against his rejection of their mate but Alpha Damien was too furious to act on his vulnerable side, he went to her and yanked the clothes off her hand and carelessly flung it across the room.Stephanie was too sad to respond to his behavior, she equally was not expecting him to come to her after his rejection and now he was throwing tantrums. She sighed and asked him if she had done something wrong, only to be met with more nastiness from him."Alpha Damien," Stephanie said, her voice filled with sadness, "did I... do something wrong?""You? Wrong?" he scoffed, his tone dripping with disdain. "You've done everything wrong, Stephanie. You've dared to reject me, to
