Gabriella POVEverything was over as soon as it began. The room was silent, but I could feel the eyes of Aiden and Kirk as they waited for some sort of explanation.How could I have not known? How did I not see this coming? I pondered on my stupidity. Alfredo saw me during the last meeting, and even though I denied being Melissa, he saw through my act. He knew me so damn well to know when I wasn't telling the truth. So, there was no way in hell he wouldn't come looking for me by any means necessary.“Mummy. Who was that man?” Daemon asked, staring at me with puppy eyes that would make you not want to deny him of anything he would ask.What do I tell him? Do I tell him that this man was not only his biological father but also, through his actions I almost lost my life?“It’s nothing for you to worry about baby,” I assured him with a smile as I squatted down, and ran my fingers through his hair, gently massaging his scalp. I pulled them both closer, wrapping my hands protectively out of
Alpha Farrell’s Pov“Ughhh!!" I yelled out in frustration immediately Alpha Alfredo drove out, I smashed my hand into the steering wheel repeatedly.You’ll have to calm down,” Ora advised. "Let's just go home and hear what she has to say.""Home? It no longer felt like a home after what just happened,' I pointed out. "Gab…no Melissa," I corrected myself. Running my hands through my hair, I sighed deeply. Calling her Melissa felt like I was referring to a stranger. This whole situation is neither black nor white only gray in between, and the shades were never consistent.“What do you have me to do, Ora?” I asked, massaging my temples slowly as I was beginning to feel a slight headache.Ora sighed. I know this was harder on him than it ever was on me. He's always had a soft spot for Gabriella, and it somehow rubbed off on me.“The answer to your question is back home."“I already did, Ora," I said, frustration building up in my voice. "There was not a single day I didn't ask Gabriella
Alpha Alfredo’s Pov"Ahhhh!!!' I screamed in anger as I drove home, continuously hitting the steering wheel, and causing passersby to look at me like I was insane. I wasn't, but I was seething and brimming with so much anger that I didn't mind lashing out at the first person I came across.I was losing concentration as I drove, so I parked by the road. "This wasn't supposed to turn out this way," I growled as I stepped out of my car, and hit the tires continuously for about a minute.“Let’s get home and we can discuss our next course of action,” Dex said."Fuck!" I growled for the umpteenth time, ruffling my hair angrily as I got back into the car. "Whatever the next action turns out to be, it better get me, Melissa, and my boys!" I declared. "How dare Melissa make me look like a fool?! I'm going to make her pay, she and Alpha Farell!"The drive home was like a blur, even as I drove into my driveway.“You’re back,” Sarah said as she had seen me driving in, waiting for my car to reach
Claire’s POVI was just walking around the Pack house with nowhere in mind, when I suddenly saw Kirk coming out of his car and leading a man who's head was covered into the Pack house. This only meant one thing, something huge was about to go down, and it involved Alpha Farell.Asking Kirk would have been a good option, but Kirk was a mood dampener and I'm not ready to put up with that. So, I quietly followed him behind and hid in a corner as he went into Alpha Farrell's office.About three to five minutes later, my brother Aiden, Gabriella alongside her kids also walked into the study."Anya, what do you think is happening?" I asked."Something important, I'm sure of it," she replied.It was no use trying to eavesdrop on the conversation in the study, as it was soundproof, even for a werewolf.The urge to find out what's going on took the better of me and for the next 30 mins plus, I waited patiently.The study door opened, and Alpha Farrell walked out, carrying that same man Kirk ca
Alpha Alfredo’s Pov Slowly opening my eyes, they landed on Sheila who was sleeping peacefully beside me, her arms on my chest. “You'll pay for your humiliation, Alpha Farell," I muttered under my breath, as I gently pushed Sheila's arms away. "Alfie," Sheila stirred half awake, pulling me closer to her. “I need to clear my head,” I said, and got out of her arms and out of bed. Lightning struck in the sky, lightening the darkened house in the early hours of the morning, as I descended down the stairs. The moisture in the air was enough to tell that it was going to rain. Either way, it was a gloomy feeling for me as I found my way in the dim light towards my mother’s door. “I thought we were getting a drink to clear our heads?” Dex asked as he noticed the path I was taking. “We would clear our heads after we’ve talked to mother,” I said as I let my mind push me in her direction. The guard stood in front of me, not stopping me like before, instead opening the door for me. I nodde
Alpha Farrell’s Pov I let out a low groan as I pulled out to the passage. No one seemed to be home as I walked up the stairs leading to the rooftop. I needed all the time I could get to myself.“It looks like you’ve had so little time to think of your next line of action.”I turned just in time to see some standing in the shed. It felt like my father talking as the cane in his hand smacked against the floor as he stepped into the dim light of dawn.I looked down, ashamed to speak to the apparition of my father, who came out to give his fatherly advice. “The timing has nothing to do with this,” I said as I raised my head to look at him. But instead, I saw Aiden standing with a walking stick in his hand.A sigh of relief escaped my lips, for a second there I thought it was a sort of trance and I was talking with my Dad's ghost.“What would you have done if someone was to disgrace you in the manner you did Alpha Alfredo of Silverrose?" Aiden asked as he tapped his cane on the floor, but
Sheila’s POV My eyes shot open at the sound of thunder, making me wake up abruptly. Sitting upright, memories of the lovemaking with Alfredo flooded my thoughts, causing me to sigh, and stray tears ran down my cheeks. Last night love making was different, it felt like he was trying to pour out his frustration and I was just lying around waiting as the perfect prey.Wiping the tears with the back of my hand and stifling a yawn I got out of bed, with no idea of what to do for the day.I walked over to the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror as I blankly stared at my reflection. It reminded me of the same look I usually gave my mom whenever I needed attention. “Luna Aziza was right,” I mumbled under my breath as I bent over the faucet to wash my face. “I need an heir, that way my place in Alfredo's life and heart is secured” I continued my monologue, stretching my hand for a towel for me to wipe my face.I overheard the door to the room creaking open, and I could already tell wh
Claire’s POV “So, how are you going to do this?” Anya asked as I sat in my room thinking of ways I’d leave Nightshades without anyone noticing.Aiden rarely came by, and unless when necessary Aloha Farell doesn’t check on me which is quite sad honestly.“Are you even sure this plan of yours would work?” Anya probed further.“There’s only one way to find out, leave for Silverorse Pack’,” I responded, got up from the chair I was seated in, and headed to the bathroom.The thought of how everything is going to change for MY GOOD after I visit Silver Rose Pack made me giddy. After taking a quick shower, I quickly got dressed, grabbed my keys, and headed for my car, with one destination in mind; Silver Rose Pack.“Here goes nothing,” I whispered as I stepped out of the house, whirling the car keys on my finger. Aiden would be too busy planning with Alpha Farrell to know I was missing. Neither would the alpha know, as he had left Melissa in charge.The walk to my car was filled with antici
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
