Aiden's POV "How's she?" I asked, walking into the room with a worried expression spread all over my face. The doctor nodded, hanging the stethoscope around his neck. "She's getting better. Her temperature had drifted back to normal and please make sure to use the drugs being prescribed." He advised before I nodded. "Thank you." I said and he smiled, taking his leave the next minute. I strolled closer to the bed where Adeline was lying, looking all sick and pale. The bruises and deep cuts on her skin were visible, anyone who had done this to her must be so wicked and heartless. Torture is so inhumane. Why? Why had they done this? My fingers trailed down her bruised cheek, brushing past the spot that was wounded. So deep…. I saw her wince and quickly withdrew my hand. I shouldn't disturb her and just leave her to rest. I guess it was her sister who had done this to her. I might just have her change her school but everyone in the pack knows her to be an omega and I
Adeline's POV I didn't feel comfortable with Aiden leaving the house at midnight. I watched him through the window as he left and my instincts kept telling me there was trouble ahead.I gulped, a frown spreading across my face as I say on the bed. God, why do I have a feeling this wasn't going to end well.I squeaked the door open and stepped out of the room to get water. I had to ease the thirst I was feeling down my throat. As I walked past the hallway to get water, I heard Hudson's and uncle Thane's voice coming from the room. I wanted to ignore but I decided to eavesdrop as I heard Aiden's name being mentioned."He'll always be the stupid one, dad. A mere latter would lead him to his doom." Hudson mentioned amidst a loud laughter. I gasped my brows scrunched up in disbelief. Why would they want him dead? I asked myself.I had thought about this before now. These people aren't the least righteous."I have arranged some mad rogue werewolves to deal with him. In no time, he'll be
Adeline's POV I could hear thunderstorms and when I looked up at the cloudy sky, I realised it was about to rain.Aiden was still unconscious and I was damn worried.I couldn't control my tears, I really wanted Aiden to survive this.I kept shaking and hitting him but he didn't move; he just remained still, his eyes shut.It began to rain, and at first it started with drops but in no time, there was a heavy downpour.I looked around for refuge and then I saw a small abandoned hut. Quickly, I dragged Aiden along as I made my way there.I coughed as the smell of dust hit my nose. The hut was almost wrecked and I guess it had been deserted for years.I laid Aiden on the worn-out mat, still in tears. Was he going to leave me now?His wounds were deep and I doubted if they'd ever heal. "Aiden? Open your eyes. I'm here, everything's fine." I sobbed, my voice croaky. I wiped my tears as my eyes caught a knife, lying carelessly on the cracked floor. I picked it up, my fingers rubbing the e
Adeline's POV "Aiden, I don't think coming back to this house is a good idea." I frowned as we approached the mansion which was just ahead of us.I knew those relatives of his aren't gonna back down. They were going to make sure to bring Aiden to the ground even with the last drop of their blood.Aiden grinned, halting in his steps. "Yeah, we have to return." He said, turning to me. "I would have suggested we stay at one of my other houses but Uncle Thane now has everything." He sighed."Hell, no!" I widened my brow in shock. Why would he go that far? Well, I shouldn't be surprised. If he could try to kill his nephew then claiming his property was less a big deal."Oh yeah, yeah Del. They'd try to kill me again but I'll be careful this time." He nodded."Alright." I swallowed hard as we went on. Walking in, Nora was the first person we saw. She kept pacing through the room and when she noticed us in the room, she looked up."Ma'am, Mr Albert! Where have you been?" She asked, worry
Aiden's POV I grinned as I saw Adeline fidget beside me. It felt kinda good teasing her, why would I even choose that line.Honeymoon? I chuckled. I'm taking things too far. She looked kind of scared but hey ! I was joking. The whole house was steaming hot so I just wanted to have a good time with Adeline.'Love is a good thing.' Yeah, and I've made up my mind to try it out. It wouldn't hurt, would it?"Stay calm, Del." I patted her hair but she looked away. "Aiden, what are you doing?""It's not a crime to hold my wife, is it? I've always told you to stay away but now, I want you close, uh?" I placed her head on my chest.It's been two days since we got married but I felt like I've loved Adeline for years now. Unrequited love was one thing I'd never want and now I'm beginning to wonder if she would reciprocate my feelings.Does she loves me too?"Um Aiden, can we just do this honeymoon thing some other day?" Adeline gave me an awkward smile before trying to stand again but I grab
Aiden's POV Adeline wrapped her hands around herself defensively as she saw my eyes fixed on her seeds, oh shit! I meant to say chest, was it even her chest? Okay, I'll admit, I was staring at her boobs but it's still the same thing. Her boobs are on her chest, right? "What are you staring at?" She asked, raising a brow. "Y..you, why aren't you wearing a bra?" I splayed my palm across my mouth when I realised what I just said. I...I.. didn't mean to ask that! My God! "I..umm...the hooks just broke off yesterday and..and I can't wear it like that." She answered, sitting on the bed and turning her back just to prevent me from watching her more. Wow! Adeline's just so straightforward. "I'll add that to the list of things Nora would get at the boutique." "38." "Uh?" I wondered what she meant by that. "I mean, that's my bra size, you wouldn't want to get something that I wouldn't be able to wear." I felt a lump in my throat at the mention of her words. Why would she...oh Lor
I walked into the school, eyes looking around. There they were again, staring at me like I was some popular figure. Hey, I'm not Billie Ellish, not Drake, not Justin! Their gazes were nothing but intimidating but I refused to be afraid like before. I put on a smile as I moved on when though it was just a facade. My mind hasn't been at rest since yesterday. I kept wondering, why would Aiden have my photo with me? I took out the copy of the photo which was with me, staring at it closely. This was me. Little Adeline. How did it get into Aiden's photo album? I tried to erase the thought off my mind but I just couldn't. Was there something I did not know? I was carried away and couldn't even focus in class. "Adeline Wyatt!" The biology teacher suddenly called me, jolting me out of my thoughts. "Ma'am." I muttered, looking up and flashing her a smile. "Seems you're carried away. You're not here, are you?" She folded her arms, lifting up her boobs. Oh Mrs Sean , this is
Narrator's POV Six Years Ago "A weakling — that's what you'd ever be!" Gill's shrilled, his voice loud and clear. "You'd never be worthy, in fact I regret the day I mated with your mother." He continued, taunting Aiden the more.Zephyrine, his mother quickly held his hand which was about to land another deafening slap on Aiden's cheeks.Tears streamed down her face as she tried to cool down her husband's anger. "Gill, please spare him. He is your son." Gill scoffed, pushing her away. "Shut up, Zephyrine! He's only a bastard. If you don't cease to defend him, I'd only throw you both out of my house!""Go ahead, dad." Aiden spoke out, a sneer on his lips. He held his injured arm which was as a result of his father's torture, wincing in pain. "This place is nothing but hell with you always adding salt to injury. Life out there is sure more peaceful."Hardly had Aiden finished speaking when Gill punched him on the face, his chest heaving with so much anger burning within him.He grabb
Adeline's POV I opened my eyes to see pair of worry filled ones. I gazed at everyone — my sister, mom, Sienna and Ryker."God, you're awake!" Mom rushed to my side, kissing my cheek.I frowned, wondering what had happened. All I remember was having a conversation with Reyna, how did I get here?"You fainted after the energy transfusion, Adeline." Reyna mentioned, her tone etched with nervousness. "Are you okay now?""Good Lord, Adeline. I was almost scared to death." Sienna held her chest, sighing in relief. Ryker was the only one who wasn't saying anything and I noticed the tension between her and Reyna. "My baby." Mom wiped her tears off her eyes, staring at me tenderly. I felt mesmerised, this was the first time I'd be experiencing so much motherly love. I hope this last longer and forever."I'm fine, you all. You don't have to worry." I tried to assure everyone but they still seemed tensed. "You didn't read all the contents in the book, Adeline." The Pack doctor, Rose mentione
Adeline's POV I dashed into the Sacred room, flipping through the pages of one of the books neatly arranged in the bookshelf. I just needed answers to my curiosity, I wanted to know a way to keep Reyna alive; since the Pack Doctor had made me to understand that aborting the baby would be a big risk as my womb was still tender.I returned the book and picked another and on the front page, was body written, 'Moon-Twin bonding; rules and remedy.'A smile settled on my lips and I quickly hid the book, returning to my room. I shut the door and sat on the bed, carefully studying the contents in the book.The first chapter read 'Bonding Failure; remedy.' Yes, this was exactly what I needed. 'One, the other twin has to donate a vail of blood to keep the other alive if a problem arises'. I paused, closing the book. A vail of my blood? That shouldn't be something difficult.Finally! Reyna would live and after I'm delivered of my baby, we can just go ahead with the Bonding."Reyna!" I called
Narrator's POV Ryker began developing feelings for Adeline during her training at the academy.Even though everyone else in the Pack hated her, he has that one feeling that seemed to grow each passing day and he just couldn't control the urge to see her every moment.During the years when she left, his mind had always been with her and her disappearance from his life, left a deep void. Yet, he couldn't express his feelings to her as he felt it would seem improper.He was her teacher and she was just his student, she respected and maintained the formal relationship between them, but Ryker wanted something more.Worst case, he was way older than she was.His mind had drifted into confusion ever since the day he found out Reyna was his mate and it grew worse when he came to realise that she and Adeline were friends.And, there was even a possibility that they were siblings. He was their uncle and that had made everything more complicated. He ought not be involved in any love relations
Adeline's POV My heart ripped off in pieces the moment I beheld Reyna lying in pain in the bedroom."Reyna, p...please, stay for me. Stay for my sake." I said but even in her weak state, the strong walls of hatred she had built for me didn't crack a bit.They held firm. Even unto this day, I don't know the best way to lift her hopes. I didn't know how to tell her everything was going to be fine."You caused this, Adeline. If I die this way, I swear I won't be able to forgive you." She shook her head, her voice coming out like a whisper yet it was like a sharp needle, piercing through my heart.I really wanted to sacrifice everything to make Reyna live but I was unsure about getting rid of my baby. Even though the circumstances that surrounded how I got the pregnancy wasn't any good to tell, I just felt it would be cruel to go for abortion.But now, Reyna's life was on the line. What if I gave up my child and at the end Reyna and I aren't related? I just couldn't stop asking myself th
Aiden's POV I stepped out of my car, my assistant opening the car's door for me.Hardly had I alighted when the reporters swarmed around me. I've been used to their craziness ever since I took over my position as the CEO of Albert Corp. I had to patch up so many mistakes my uncle has made in the past months and trust me that man has done a lot; but with the family's secret fund he didn't know about and didn't get to touch, I was able to restore the company back to normal.I ignored their numerous questions, walking into the building. I didn't bother to return the greetings from my employees and went straight to my office."Mr Albert, here is your schedule for this week." My assistant, Layla said with a smile on her face. I had to replace everyone uncle had employed before and hire new ones.Hell, they weren't even up to the company's standard and all they do is take salary for nothing."Read out!" I ordered, my gaze fixed on my laptop. I listened to her speak and after she was done,
Adeline's POV I sighed, checking the calender. My birthday was fast approaching and they meant Reyna's death day was approaching too.I had to do something. I planned to get rid of this baby but wouldn't that mean taking risks?I don't feel endangering this innocent baby's life was a nice idea, still I imagined the disgrace I'd face when the whole Pack finds out that I was pregnant and didn't even know the father of my child."Breakfast is ready." Sienna announced, jolting me out of my thoughts. It's been two days now since I got to her place where she stays with her mother."I... don't think I'm hungry, Sienna." I shook my head though it was a lie. This baby had been making me consume so much food lately and I feel hungry every minute.Yesterday, I finished three bowls of rice and even wanted more. At midnight, I was hungry too. Aside from the baby shifting position every time, the baby whether a she or he was consuming more than enough.I had always dreamt of having a child with Ai
Adeline's POV "She's pregnant." The Pack doctor announced and immediately she said that, my heart sank. Pregnant? No, that can't be possible!"That's why the Moon-Twin bonding didn't work, the seed in her is stopping her wolf from reacting." She added.Tears streamed down my eyes freely, I can't believe this. "I said it, you're bad luck Adeline!" Reyna yelled, running her hands through her hair. "You want me to die, don't you?""I... I'm confused.." I stuttered, short of words. "M...aster." I turned to Master Ryker whose face was filled with a dark glint. "Who got you pregnant, Adeline?" He asked, his voice husky. I shook my head slowly, my words hanging in my throat. How can I answer his question? I've mated with two different men.Could it be Aiden or that stranger Eva made me hook up with?"She's definitely pregnant with that man's child. A one nightstand doesn't result into something good, does it?" Reyna hissed."What do I do?" I asked, my voice trembling. "Abort the baby,
Adeline's POV "Hey Adeline, you're back to the academy. It's really been a long time." Theresa said, beckoning on her other friends. I gulped, watching them giggle. "Yeah, I'm back. Do you have any problem?""I heard the MoonCrest Alpha rejected you, aren't you supposed to be sulking at home instead of pretending to be concerned about the soldiers?" One of her friends asked."Does she even have a home?" Theresa scoffed."No, she does Resa. She now stays at Master Ryker's place." Theresa widened her brows, moving closer to me. What's wrong now?"Why are you suddenly back now? You're here to steal him away again, aren't you? Master has always liked you, and he doesn't even act like I exist." She began to sob and I frowned, wondering what was wrong with her.How is that my fault? Besides, Master Ryker only sees me as his student and nothing else."You have to stop with this, Theresa. This is not the Adeline you used to know. If you're to bully me again, shoo little fly, get out of my
Adeline's POV I settled for the room beside Reyna's since she objected sharing a room with me when I asked.The reasons for her actions were still all confusing to me. She has suddenly changed form the jovial girl I knew and was now treating me like I was some stranger. "I don't think I can join you tonight, Master. I don't feel good. I seem to have lost my appetite to eat anything." I shook my head, staring at my feet. "You don't have an appetite or you're avoiding your sister?" He asked, folding his arms.I looked up, swallowing hard. How did he find out I was only lying? It was all true, I didn't want more of Reyna's tantrums tonight.I just wanted to sit solo and think my life through. Her sudden change was a shock to me and I wondered how she could change so quickly.Master Ryker pulled me out of the room, as we made our way to the living room. "I have something to say and it's important." He said as we reached the dining area."I didn't make dinner for three as I wasn't awa
