NEXT DAYNathan was eating his breakfast. It was obvious that they planned to take Nathan along. Delilah was busy assigning the jobs to the omegas as she won't be there to monitor the day and Stephen was getting ready. Ashley was down serving breakfast to Jonathan and others had still not joined them at the breakfast table. Nathan was the only one sitting beside Jonathan and eating his bread toast.Nathan beamed with pride as he shared his accomplishment with Aunt Ashley."Nathan, Aunt Ash, you know I made a house from the building blocks yesterday."Ashley smiled, appreciating the innocence in Nathan's excitement, while Jonathan focused on his meal.Nathan, eager to share more, continued: "I've already planned which room to stay in. One for Mommy and Dad, and one for me and my future sister. I'll show you my house in the evening when I'm back."Ashley, curious, inquired: "One room for Mommy and Dad?"Nathan nodded confidently, sipping his health drink. Ashley, seizing the moment, dec
"Here is the proof, Stephen. I hope you believe these legal papers, at least," David declared, placing a stack of legal documents on the table before Stephen and Delilah. Stephen picked up the papers, his eyes scanning the contents.The room seemed to hold its breath as Stephen delved into the intricacies of the legal documents. The weight of the revelations within the pages was palpable. David continued, "The papers have your father's signature, Stephen. Your father's signatures wherein he has given his whole share of the property, the entire pack, to his long-lost son. Isn't that strange? The only loophole is that if you have an heir before him, he inherits everything."Delilah, sensing the gravity of the situation, also stood up and joined Stephen in reading the papers. Her brow furrowed in confusion and concern as she tried to make sense of the unfolding family saga.The ambiance in the room was tense, accentuated by the flickering light from the grand chandelier overhead. The air
Delilah gazed at Stephen, her eyes filled with curiosity.Delilah: "Why don't I know about your stepbrother?"Stephen sighed, reminiscing.Stephen: "He was a few years older than me, and when he left, you were hardly a year old, I guess."Delilah: "But why did he leave? Why did your father treat him as the maid's son then?"Stephen's expression shifted, revealing the complexity of the family history.Stephen: "From what I heard, Dad was trying to protect him. Being my father's first son, whose mother wasn't alive anymore, he was in a lot of danger, posing a threat to weaken my father. He was a stubborn kid, always throwing tantrums and running away, causing problems, getting jealous of my mother and me. He even got kidnapped a few times, almost getting my father killed. So, Dad decided to give him to the omega to raise him, which he didn't like, and he ran away. My father tried to find him a lot, but he was just…lost."Delilah furrowed her brows, absorbing the intricate details.Delil
ASHLEY - JONATHAN'S ROOMThe room was shrouded in darkness as Ashley entered, carrying her husband's tea. She flicked on the lights, revealing Jonathan resting on the couch."Hey, are you okay, Jonathan? You look tired. And why did you turn off the lights?" Ashley inquired, handing him the cup before settling beside him.Opening his eyes, Jonathan began, "Actually, princess, I was thinking something..."Before he could continue, the door was forcefully pushed open, and Delilah barged in. Both Jonathan and Ashley were taken aback as Delilah walked to the couch, took Ashley's hand, and made her stand."Delilah, behave yourself. What is all this?" Ashley demanded, puzzled.Delilah released her hand, a stern expression on her face. "You better behave, Ashley. How much evil are you planning for in this house? Do you even realize what you are doing to this family?"Jonathan, standing up, intervened, "Delilah, you have no right to talk to my wife like this." Delilah turned to him with eviden
It was 11:00 pm, and Stephen had yet to return home from work, leaving Delilah restless with worry. Nathan had already drifted into sleep, and the minutes dragged on as she anxiously awaited his arrival. Unable to contain her concern, she called Stephen, but he didn't answer, escalating her apprehension.When Stephen finally entered, weariness etched across his face, Delilah's relief mingled with frustration. Approaching him with a furrowed brow, she seized his laptop bag, demanding answers.Why didn't you pick up my call? Do you know how worried I was? And why so late today? Have you ever had dinner?" she fired off, her concern bubbling into anger.The room was bathed in a soft glow from the bedside lamp as Delilah fired off her questions, concerned about lacing her words. Stephen, wearied from a long day, loosened his tie, attempting to address her worries. "I'm not hungry," he replied wearily, signalling his exhaustion.As he headed to the bathroom, leaving Delilah in a state of pu
PACK MANSION - NEXT MORNINGStephen's mother smiled warmly, "I want the whole house to be decorated with the best flowers today. It's my son's and Delilah's anniversary. It's a special occasion for all of us."Jennifer nodded, "Yes, Luna, I've already informed the maids. They will handle the decorations. But where are Alpha Stephen and Delilah? Haven't they woken up yet?""It's hardly 7:00," Stephen's mother replied, "I'm sure they will come down soon. I've asked Omega to make their favorite breakfast. I'm planning to arrange a party for them tonight.""That's great," Jennifer said, "This day will be full of happiness then."Damon walked in, having overheard the conversation, "The day would be good if Ashley and Jonathan don't create a mess."Stephen's mother sighed, "I've warned Ashley. Hopefully, she'll remain quiet today."Jennifer added, "Let's not spoil our moods by thinking about them. Let's get back to work. We have so much to do."After Damon's remark, everyone dispersed and r
The living room, dimly lit, buzzed with tension as Stephen addressed the gathering, "Some days back, if you all remember, the Patrol leader was here suspecting Jonathan to be behind this, he began", his voice carrying the weight of accusation.Ashley, unable to contain herself, interrupted, "But then it was proven that he wasn't in the region when this kidnapping happened. He was in a different city, and the letters that he wrote me are already submitted."Stephen sighed, a subtle indication of his impatience. "I know. Would you mind if I finish my talk first? Let me point to the culprit first, and then let's start this question-answer round."The air thickened with anticipation as Stephen continued. It was like a slap for Ashley as his tone remained rigid and firm, a stark contrast to the tension in the room."The handwriting was confirmed, and the letters indeed had been written by Jonathan only. Which proves he was in a different city when Nathan was kidnapped," Stephen declared, hi
The Patrol leader's somber tone filled the room, "The matter is more complicated now. Even if Jonathan is not your step-brother, Alpha Stephen, it means there is really someone out there who is still safe from us. Someone who is still having enough time to plan for his escape. We have to be cautious. And that person is not Alpha Kevin as well. Our eyes are always on him."Stephen, his suspicion unwavering, asserted, "Whatever it is, even if he isn't my step-brother, I still have a doubt that he is the one supporting the man behind all this."Delilah, standing by Stephen's side, added, "Yes. I too can't believe he is a saint now. He is somewhere involved in the kidnapping."The Patrol leader, caught between suspicion and the need for concrete evidence, replied, "But based on these suspicions, we cannot arrest him, Luna Delilah. We need proper proofs."Stephen, frustrated but determined, proposed a course of action, "Fine. Let's keep some men behind Jonathan. I want him to be spied on e
