Luis Knight - POV

I saw her sweat while she began to fidget. “I…I…”

“Now, before you answer this question, let me warn you. If you lie to me, I will make sure you rot in our dungeon, never to see your daughter again. Do you understand, Dr. Abel?” I asked her in a sickly sweet voice when I saw her take a few gulps.

“I did come to your house that night to see my daughter.” she finally spoke.

“And you gave her the car so that she could escape?” I asked her.

“I couldn't see her life tarnish in front of my eyes, Gamma Luis. You accused her of a crime she did not commit, and she has been serving her sentence ever since. But as her mother, it was killing me to see her lifeless eyes every day.” she told me when I saw the tears roll down her cheek. If she expected me to forgive her because of her tears, then she is dead wrong. “I let her escape from a life that only brought her sorrow.” she finally confessed when I abruptly got up from my place.

    Emilia Abel - POV“That's enough,” Jasper said as he took the wine glass from my hand. I turned around and glared at him, but I was already a little too drunk, and I felt a little too tipsy as well. “One more drink, Jasper,” I whispered, but he shook his head as he wrapped his hand around my waist and led me away from the dark corner we had been in for the past hour. I almost squinted my eyes at the harsh light when I saw someone walk towards me. “What the fuck did you do to her?” I heard the familiar voice when sparks ignited on my upper arm. “She had a little too much to drink, Beta Rodriguez. I had to stop her before she passed out.” I heard Jasper explain the situation. “You can leave now,” Andres commanded when I felt Jasper’s hold on me loose before a firm and familiar hand gripped my waist. “How can you get so drunk, Emilia?” Andres hissed at me, but I wasn't thinking straight right now. “So, now it is a crime that I drank?” I asked him when I finally lifted my head to loo

    Emilia Abel - POVThe phone slipped from my hand and fell to the floor while the tears flowed down my cheeks as I bit my lips to prevent any sound. I knew I should go back to the Winter Moon pack, but then I remembered what my mother told me just before I left the pack that night. “I know Luis might eventually figure out that I was involved in your escape, and they might even imprison me and threaten you to come back. But under no circumstances, should you return. Do you understand Emilia?” she asked me as she held my hands in a strong grip. There was fear swirling in her eyes as she looked deep into my eyes. “How can I stay away when your life is at stake, Mom?” I asked her when I felt my eyes cloud with tears. “I can't risk you coming back, sweetheart. Even if I die, don't you ever come back to him? He would ruin you.” she said when my eyes widened in fear as I shook my head. “I will not let you die because of me, Mom. I have no one except you in my life and…” Before I could fin

    Emilia Abel - POVI threw the ruined tank top into the dustbin as I walked into the bathroom with the first aid kit. First, I wiped the wound clean using some spirits, and then I began to apply the cream. It was not easy with all the scars around my body, and once I was done, I wrapped a bandage around my belly and then walked back into the bedroom and fell onto the bed, instantly falling asleep. Beep beep.My face scrunched up in annoyance at the sound of my alarm while I tried to find my phone with my eyes closed, but after a few failed attempts, I had to open my eyes and look for it, ruining my sleep. I stretched my body and looked out through the window at the pleasant weather outside. It wasn't sunny, nor was it raining. It was just the perfect weather. I got up from my place and walked into the bathroom and slowly removed the bandage to see that most of the wound had healed, leaving a scar except for a few. I threw the used bandages into the rubbish bin, removed my clothes, an

    Emilia Abel - POV“Have you worked as a secretary before, or is this your first time?” I asked her when she began to fidget with her fingers. “I worked for Mrs. Rodriguez a few years ago, but when she wrongly accused me of stealing money from the funds, Alpha Sanders sent me away to live in the human town.” “And you are back here?” I asked her, sounding confused when she finally looked at me. “When Mrs. Rodriguez left this pack, everything came to light, and Alpha Sanders took me back inside the pack. I have been working as his junior assistant secretary since then, when he transferred me here, Miss. Abel.” “This Mrs. Rodriguez, is this Andres’s mother?” I asked her when she shook her head. “His first mate,” she told me when I nodded my head. I don't know why this woman was accused of such a thing, but her statement, only shows me that his ex-mate has done a lot of things that must have almost tarnished his name. “That's all right. So, do you have my schedule for today, Daisy?”

    Emilia Abel - POVDaisy and I walked out of the pack house towards the garden that I had never seen. It was a masterpiece with a variety of flowering plants arranged beautifully. As we walked down the stoned pathway, I saw that someone had already set a table for two, and the food was on the table with a vase of red roses. It felt like a romantic setup and this made me confused. “Who did all this?” I asked Daisy as we came to a stop in front of the table. She didn't answer right away when I turned around to see that she looked nervous. “I…it was me, Miss. Abel. But if you need anything changed, then I can get that done as well.” she told me. “That won't be necessary. I like it.” I told her as I took a seat when she stood behind the second chair. “Why are you standing there?” I asked her when I saw her eyes widen in fear again. “Oh, I am sorry. I will be at my office. You can call me if you need anything, Miss. Abel.” she mumbled, and just before she walked away, I called out her n

    Emilia Abel - POV“This is our latest collection, ma'am. Would you like to try this on?” the woman asked me as she picked out another expensive-looking suit but this one caught my eye. It was a simple white skirt with a pastel purple silk blouse. “This looks beautiful,” I told her when the smile on her face widened. “Then you should definitely try this on.” she insisted when I looked at Daisy. “I think you should, Miss. Abel.” Daisy said, and I nodded my head and took the suit as I made my way to the changing room. I placed my handbag on the floor and removed my clothes when I saw that the bandages that I had tied around me had loosened.I don't think I have the time to adjust this now. I removed my clothes and hung them next to me before I took the suit. Before wearing it, I took the price tag out, and the moment I saw the price, I felt like my heart exploded inside me. Nine hundred dollars just for this top? I only have a fifty-dollar note, how on earth am I going to afford this

    Emilia Abel - POVMy cheeks were still a fiery red from the insults that I faced at the boutique earlier, but what hurt me, even more, was that Beta Rodriguez didn't even do anything to stop them from speaking so low about me. I put that incident to the back of my mind and looked at the beautiful street lights that were coming alive around me. A soft smile formed on my face as I saw the bustling streets and the pack members enjoying the night. It has been ages since I last left Luis’s house, and I think I have missed all this. As I reached Beta Rodriguez’s house, I tried to open the front door, but it was locked when I almost face-palmed myself. I don't even have the key to go inside. I placed my shopping bags on the carpet and looked out at the empty road, hoping that he would come back soon. The minutes gradually turned to hours, and there was still no sight of Beta Rodriguez. The night air had dropped a few degrees, making me shiver as I rubbed myself to keep warm. My legs had al

    Beta Andres Rodriguez - POVIs she telling the truth? “There was honesty in her eyes.” Blake, my wolf, said.“Look who finally decided to talk.” I sarcastically told my wolf, which made him roll his eyes at me. “I will not help you until you accept our mate, Andres.” “How did you forget what happened the last time, Blake?” I asked him, sounding shocked that he had forgotten.“I didn't. But I can feel it, Andres. She is different.” he said, but I ignored him, placed my empty coffee mug inside the kitchen sink, and made my way to my office. I looked through all my contacts when I finally found the number of my tech guy and called him. “Hello, Beta Rosrighez. How can I help you today?” he answered the call on the fourth ring itself. “I want certain information about a person. Her bank account details, and how much money she has under her name. And other information.” I said.“Sure, Beta. Give me the name and I will get you the details,” he said.“Emilia Abel,” I told him when he hum

    Emilia Abel - POVI had my timer set for five minutes just to be on the safe side, and to be honest, this was the longest five minutes of my entire life as I paced back and forth in my bedroom. A million emotions were coursing through my veins right now but the prominent among them was fear. Fear of what the future would have for me and the uncertainty of my life. Ting ting. I nearly jumped out of my skin as my alarm went off when I quickly walked to the bed and turned it off. I took in a few deep breaths before I made it inside the bathroom. The pregnancy sticks were facing downwards as I gently turned them around with my eyes closed. You can do this, Emilia. Just have a positive thought. I whispered to myself as I opened my eyes and looked at the result. I felt like someone sucked the air from my lungs while I felt a numbing pain course through my veins. Tears pooled in the corner of my eyes as the pregnancy stick fell to the floor with a thud. This can't be true.I mumbled to

    Emilia Abel - POV“How can I help you, ma'am?” the nurse sitting at the reception asked me. “I have an appointment with the pack doctor,” I told her.“Your name, ma'am?” “Emilia Abel,” I told her when she typed something on her computer as she finally looked up at me. “Doctor Quinn would be seeing you in room number ten, Miss. Abel.” the nurse told me, so I thanked her and began walking in further. The hospital was barely busy during this hour except for a few women who had come for their daily check-ups. Three hallways were branching out, and I took the one to my right and continued walking when I saw a few women were sitting on waiting chairs in front of a closed door. As I got closer, I realized that it was Doctor Quinn’s room. I stood by the door when it opened a few minutes later as a nurse stepped outside. She called a woman inside and then closed the door and walked towards me. “You must be Miss. Abel?” she asked me as she looked down at her tablet. “Yes, um, is it possib

    Emilia Abel - POVI was so distracted with what happened in the kitchen earlier that I didn't even see where I was going as I bumped into something hard while my legs got tangled, and just as I was about to hit the floor, I felt a pair of strong arms hold me and pull me back up. “What is running through that pretty head of yours.” my eyes moved up when I saw Jasper with a smirk on his face. I quickly stepped away as a nervous smile formed on my face. “I am sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going,” I told him as he grabbed my handbag from the floor and gave it to me. “I can see that. You look distracted.” “Well, this is the first time I am working, so everything is a little overwhelming,” I told him when the smile on his face faded away. Jasper knew exactly how I lived with Luis and he had also witnessed how Luis punished me a few times too. It was when Jasper tried to save me from a beating that made Luis furious and made him falsely accuse Jasper and throw him out of the pack.

She looked a little pale and tired, and this vomiting didn't sit well with me. Once she had finished the tea I made, she placed it on the table and was about to get up, when I gently made her sit again. “You need to finish your breakfast,” I told her when she turned around to look at me.“I don't think I can eat anything, Beta Rodriguez.” she asserted when I shook my head, I pulled out the chair that was next to hers took a seat, and took her plate. “You haven't eaten anything since yesterday, and this only makes you feel weak,” I told her as I took some sausages and brought them close to her mouth.“I will eat something later then. I don't think I can eat anything now.” “Just eat the sausages, Emilia. And then you can leave.” I insisted when she had a pout on her face, but then she obliged and began eating her food. Once she

He placed them on the bed and moved towards the door. “I bought you some clothes,” he said in a monotone.“Why? Does my ten-dollar blouse look too cheap for your reputation?” I asked him when he stopped and turned around to face me. “No, but you are my mate, and it is my responsibility to take care of you till you are in this pack.” “I don't need your pity, Beta Rodriguez. I can take care of myself.” I said with sass when he took two large steps towards me till we were only a hairline space apart. My heartbeat began to race when I felt his hands rest on my waist. My breathing hitched as the sparks traveled through my body. “This is not pity, Emilia. I don't want people looking down on you,” he whispered. For a few seconds, I didn't know what I should say. My mind was in a jumble as I stared int
