Melissa (Gabriella’s Pov) I woke up to the sound of knocking. Claire was no longer sitting where she was before I fell asleep.“I’m coming!” I screamed as I dragged myself from the bed. My body still felt heavy after the tranq, but I felt lighter after the night’s rest.“I didn’t think you would sleep till that moment.”A smile crossed my face when I heard his voice, with the smell of coffee wafting through the door.“Shouldn’t you be with some prisoners by this time?” I asked as I opened the door. As usual, he stood with his blue eyes glinting in the morning, holding two cups of coffee in his hands. “Prisoners? I never knew I had prisoners,” he said as he placed the coffee in my hands. “Want to go for a walk or you would prefer to be in your room?”“I prefer the room today and I will not ask for any work today,” I said as I walked to my couch, moaning as I sat in the chair. He chuckled as he followed, sitting on the adjacent seat. “You said something about not having prisoners.”“T
Alfredo’s Pov I stood from the bed, watching the sunrise in the morning, casting its glow across the land. “Come to the bar.” The text message read before I sent it to the recipient I wanted. Two weeks had gone by and I had no reply from him concerning his findings. Dex was grumpy, the same as I as I did nothing but pace the room when I was alone.“Still awake?”I turned to see Sheila staring at me with her head propped up by her elbow. She performed her duties as a future Luna, but it wasn’t what I wanted at the moment. A little information about Melissa would do my soul some good.“What are you thinking about?” She asked as she crawled across the length of the bed to where I stood.“It’s nothing,” I lied as I stretched my hand to the table, grabbing the bottle of wine placed last night.“It is not nothing if you would resort to drinking by this time of the morning,” she said as she climbed up to me.“I never knew drinking had a timetable,” I said as I turned, taking her into my a
Alpha Farrell’s Pov I stood by her side as she danced in the grass. A smile on her face as she twirled around. “Is it always cool in this place?” She asked as she stretched her hands to the incoming wind. It blew her hair across the place with the sound of her laughter carried along with it. “You don’t want to meet with the winter,” I said as I followed behind her like her bodyguard. My hands behind my back; I listened for any sudden movement. I had taken the last time they found her as both strokes of fortune and misfortune for both men.“There is a heating system. It can’t be that bad,” she said as she walked to a hedge of flowers, plucking a sunflower from its stem.“You are right,” I answered with a little chuckle. Technology had grown so fast in the past twenty years that I felt like an old man in those terms. I grew from traditional heating systems to just pressing a button and everywhere would be in the right temperature for you.“Do I look pretty?”She turned to show me the
Alfredo’s Pov “Tomorrow and you’d be off to your pack and we haven’t gone for the boys’ night’s out,'' Alpha Brian said as he got closer to me, wrapping his arms around my neck.“Didn’t think you would remember it,” I said as I took a deep breath. It was unexpected with the way he came on strong.“There’s no way I can forget something like that,” he said as he pulled me away.“Where are the both of you going at this time?” His wife came down the stairs like she was eavesdropping on us.“We are going out for a little men's stuff,” Alpha Brian said as he patted my shoulder, throwing a wide smile at his wife.“Thought you had something to do?”“I did, but you see. I had promised him we would have a few moments together during his stay with us,” he answered, like a child who was trying to get something. “Does your wife know about this meeting, Alfredo?”I didn’t know why I felt like that, but it felt like it was my mum talking to me like I was a kid who wanted to go outside and play.“S
Sheila’s POV I woke up with Alfredo sitting on the bed, facing the window like he thought of something.“Still thinking of your night out with my father?" I asked as I pulled up on him, wrapping my hands around his neck with my hands while I crossed him with my legs.He smelled of cologne, sharp and distinct, added to his underlying ashy smell. “Not exactly that,” he said, still facing the horizon. The rising sun was a beautiful sight to behold as it stretched its lazy rays across the sky, painting the deep blue sky with stretches of orange and pink.“What are you thinking of?”“Nothing exactly. You know that moment when you get up from bed and you just zone out?” He asked.I nodded as he turned around, placing a kiss on my lips, teasing me as he locked my hands high above my head while he placed me on the bed.“But I have something to think about right now?” He said as he looked at me with a mischievous smirk.“And what is that?”“It’s more like a question,” he said as he raised hi
Alfredo’s POV“Alfie.”I woke up to Sheila muttering my name.“Go check who is at the door.”I let out a little groan as I pulled out from under her body, forcing blood to flow through the hand she placed pressure on when she laid on me.I stepped out in my underwear, trudging to the door to meet my beta standing at the door with a serious look on her face.“Isn’t it too early to be knocking on someone’s door?” I asked as I covered my mouth when I yawned.“It’s eight in the morning and I think you are forgetting something,” she said as she placed her hands on her waist, expecting me to remember something I clearly forgot. “Well, I do not remember it. Cut me some slack here and remind me what it is about.” I said as I leaned on the doorpost.“You have a meeting with your mother and Alpha Brian this morning,” she said as she brought out her phone, scrolling through it like she was searching for something.My eyes snapped open at that information. How could I have forgotten something l
Melissa (Gabriella’s Pov)“Ready for your evening walks?”I saw him stick his head through my door.“I might have well been naked,” I said as I pushed myself from the couch to meet him.“Well, you aren’t naked,” he let out a chuckle as he took hold of me.My enormous stomach had slowed my routine to barely walking, but it didn’t stop him from coming every morning with my cup of coffee and a smile on his face before he took me out into the woods.“How are the babies coming?” He asked as he took me on a walk. The walks have been in front of his place recently, as I could barely move around for long.“Lyra said they are alright and should be out soon,” I said, mirroring Lyra’s exactly as she had watched them more closely than I had.“I can’t wait for them to come,” he said as he stood in front of me with his hands on his waist. He looked innocent like he would never do anything bad.I let out a sigh as I walked next to him, watching the sun fade in the distance. He had refused to take me
Alpha Farrell’s Pov The sound of a beeping machine did no good as I paced around the room with my finger on my lips. I felt like I was thinking and at the same time, there was nothing coming to mind.“You’ve got to stop pacing about,” Ora said, even when the tension originated from him the most. “It’s just a baby.”“Two babies,” I corrected as I stared at the light of the labor room. It remained in red, with no serious movements coming from inside.Aiden stood at the side like he was not scared of anything that would happen. I had seen her face when the contraction started. She held tight to my shirt as I picked her into the car, not wanting to let go when I offered to drive the car and that was where Aiden had come into the picture.“Is everything alright?” I asked as I saw a nurse step out of the labor room, hurrying to get to somewhere that she ignored me altogether. I could see from the swinging door that she was in a lot of pain as she held tight to the bed. Beads of sweat form
Hello guys, so the last chapter was supposed to be an author's note. I'm not really familiar with the author's center interface, so please bear with me. So, guys, I understand that I haven't uploaded any chapters for over two months, and that's because of my health. I'm really really sorry about that, but my health is not entirely under my control. I had to rush the story even though I had a lot planned out(walking you guys through on how Claire was caught, and what happened with Alfredo and his family). I just had to wrap it up because I feel it's long overdue. I know many of you must have forgotten about one or two details regarding the story, but for every single one of you that sticked to the end, I'm super grateful 🙏🏽. This is actually my first story, and the love you guys showed me was immense. Thank you so very much, and God bless you all. I hope to see your support whenever I come up with a new story. Kindly leave your honest reviews and criticism, on the general comment
Alpha Farrell's POV Two Months Later. It's been two whole month since I found out that Gabriella and I were mates, and all the saga that led us to this moment. Alfredo has been stripped off his position as Alpha, and his family exiled from the Pack, they're basically rogues with nothing but scraps to feed on. Princess Sheila on the other hand, was given a more milde punishment. Lockhart was still under Nightshade's while she served as an omega in the Packhouse. This was the mildest punishment we could give her, since it was with her help I was able to locate Alfredo after he secretly changed the location where he held Gabriella and the boys. The first phone call I had received was from her. But Alfredo found out she was tipping me off, and used her to lure me into a trap. Where he used those rogues who attacked us to secretly inject us with wolfsbane, making us weak and powerless. Princess Sheila still came to the rescue, soon after Alfredo came to gloat while I was chained, and c
Melissa’s POV One month later.The gown in front of me was sparkling, casting glittering lights from its reflection as the helpers helped me don it.“It’s pretty, mummy,” Daemon said with his brother running behind him.The helpers stood at the door, stopping them from reaching me for fear of them ruining it.“Let them in,” I said, waiting for my boys to run into my arms.They came in haste, but mounting their distance, even as curiosity pushed at them to touch my gown.“My wife is going to wear one like this when I get married,” Damian said as he caressed the gown.I threw him a smile, bending as low as my gown would allow me to touch their heads. “Of course she would,” I said as I pinched his cheeks.“Are you ready?”I raised my head to meet Aiden as he stood in front of the room, dressed elegantly, for the matter. “I am.” The answer was no surprise for me as I straightened my gown while Aiden held out his arm for me.“You wouldn’t want to keep the groom waiting for too long,” he s
Gabriella’s POV I stood like a display doll in front of the entire Silverrose, as I listened to Alfredo give a glamorous speech to justify why he's an asshole.I can't wait for all this to be over so Alfredo can take me to see my voice. He has done all he can to break me, and since he wasn't succeeding, he stopped so low as using my boys, our kids to threaten me.‘I only want you Mel, we can make more babies,’ he said, holding a knife over Damian. My baby was so scared and called out to me for help but I couldn't do anything. Now in order to keep my kids alive, I'm subjecting myself to an eternity of hell on earth. But I can endure all that, as long as my boys are fine. The look on Farrell's face when I told him I wanted to be with Alfredo broke me every time I thought about it.Alfredo nudged me, which was his cue, telling me to smile. I forced a smile, as Alfredo took another gulp of wine.“You're mine forever now, Mel,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper as he brought out
Claire's POVToday makes it exactly four days since I saw Aiden and Alpha Farrell last. From what I was told, they suddenly got into their car and drove off. At first I was worried that maybe, somehow they'd figured out that Gabriella was in Silverrose Pack, but I called Alfredo and he confirmed that they never showed up at his Pack.I didn't take his words for it when he told me, but everywhere has been calm, and there's no way in hell that Alpha Farrell found Gabriella and Alfredo still have his head.“Don't get happy too quickly,” Anya said through the mindlink. “I’ve got a feeling that this is the calm before the storm.”“Yeah right,” I replied, rolling my eyes. “There's no storm coming. If there's one thing, the storm already happened and this is the calm after the storm.”“But–”“Not now, Anya!” I snapped. “Alfredo is going to mark and announce Gabriella as his Luna today, and we’re going to witness that alongside anybody,” I explained. “So, no matter what storms come after this
Alpha Farrell's PovHow we arrived at the location in the text was a total blur. The stone walls of the shrines were cracked and filled with overgrown vines.As we stepped towards the entrance of the shrine, the door to the shrine creaked open.“Ah, Alpha Farrell,” Alfredo called out gingerly, spreading his arms wide like he was seeing an old friend. “I must say, I'm disappointed you didn't send an official letter. I would have made your welcome, more… memorable,” he smirked.“Cut the crap, Alfredo!” I snarled, bringing out my claws, as I marched forward, Ora flashing in my eyes. “Where's Gabriella? Where are my boys?”“Your boys?” Alfredo chuckled darkly. “I think you're getting things wrong, Alpha Farrell,” he said, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “THEY ARE MY BOYS. And as for my MATE, I'm sure she doesn't want to see you.”“Alfredo!” I growled, charging towards him.“Farrell!” Aiden called out to me from behind.“What?!” I snapped irritatedly, turning sharply to face him
Alpha Farrell's POVIt's been three days since Aiden made me see things clearly, and honestly speaking, this has been the longest three days of my entire life. It actually felt like an eternity. I'm trying to do things Aiden's way but Ora isn't having it. He's beating himself up about not seeing through this and believing Gabriella won't just abandon us like that.The door to my study swung open and Aiden walked in."Any news from your guys?" I asked impatiently."Yes, they trace Alfredo to a secluded house at the outskirts of his Pack's territory," he explained. "One won't even guess something like that was there," he said. "They'll try and confirm if Gabriella and the boys are there tonight," he continued. "The place is heavily guarded, and if they're indeed there we wouldn't want to tip Alfredo off that we're on to him so we need to be careful and patient–""I don't have patience, Aiden," I said, my voice higher than usual. "I messed up, don't you get it?" I asked rhetorically. "I
Alpha Farrell's POVIt's been over two weeks and I felt like my life has been sucked out of me. The heavy stench of alcohol was the air I breathed in now, accompanied with the whimpering of my wolf, Ora. What was left of both of us was our brain refusing to accept that Gabriella was truly gone, she left us to be with that scumbag.I can't even tell what's happening physically and what's just a figment of my imaginations. For the first few nights Gabriella left, my nights were plagued with dreams of her returns, but for the rest of the night till now I couldn't tell the difference between day and night, I've been in a loophole of endless emotional torture. Why I feel this way, I had no idea. She wasn't my mate, I've never had one but I'm sure even wolf's that lost their mates didn't feel as empty as I'm feeling right now.Has Gabriella always been like this? Was I blinded by the soft spot Ora had towards her that I couldn't see the real her? All that filled my thoughts were countless q
Claire's POVIt's been two weeks since Melissa supposedly left Nightshades, and Alpha Farell has basically done nothing but locked himself up in his room, while the omega's dropped cartons of alcohol by his door. Most nights, we could hear him growling, it felt like a part of him left with that bitch. Well, I just need a chance to make him forget all about that bitch at the drop of a hat."Do you have everything that I asked for in there?" I overheard Aiden's voice, it was coming from the kitchen."Yes, Beta Aiden," an omega responded.Curiosity got the better of me, and since I was practically idle at the moment I decided to go find out what's happening."Hey Aiden, what's happening?" I asked ,as I saw trays of different foods lined up."Nothing, just want to take this food to Alpha Farell," he responded and got back to dishing out orders."Isn't this a bit too much?" I asked. "He hasn't eaten for two weeks now, the last thing he'll want is too much food.""I don't know," Aiden said
