A FEW HOURS LATER"Careful!" Stephen shouted and scooped her in arms and hugged her tightly while pressing her closer to his heart. He was scared. As soon as Delilah felt she wasn't falling down, Stephen caught her at the end moment and saved her, she had kicked her ego for some time and hugged him tightly. She was scared. They both were in each other's embrace for a long time, relishing the moment that nothing bad happened while closing their eyes. Their breathing was uneven and their hearts were pounding crazily. It was after sometime that Delilah realized what happened and what she was doing, she froze. Was she dreaming or was Stephen really here and saved her at the end moment? She understood from the tight hug and crazy heartbeat of his that he was scared.Stephen couldn’t calm his heart down yet. Thanks to his stars, he agreed to Damon's word and thought to check up on her but he had never expected to find her in the lobby, struggling to walk. "You will never learn!" He grow
"Mommy! Mommy! Wake up! How long are you going to sleep for?! Mommy!" The familiar little hands shook Delilah, gently but persistently.She slowly started to come back to consciousness, her mind emerging from the depths of sleep. She let out a groan as she opened her eyes, blinking against the sudden intrusion of light, and gradually came back to her senses. Her head throbbed with a relentless ache, a reminder of the exhausting gala she had organized the night before."Nathan, baby, can you please keep it low? Mommy's head is aching," she said slowly and lovingly as she picked him up, her arms wrapping around her son. She placed him on her lap and kissed his soft cheek, eliciting a delighted giggle from the little boy. Despite her discomfort, she couldn't help but smile at his infectious joy. Nathan, with his curly hair and innocent blue eyes, was the center of her world.Nathan, understanding his mother's request, listened attentively and refrained from any further outbursts, althoug
A FEW HOURS LATER "Oh, my god! Noah!" Delilah exclaimed loudly and gave him a hug. "What are you doing here?!" She asked in total surprise. "Why? You are not happy to see me here?" Noah asked with a fake frown making Delilah chuckle at him. She gave his bicep a light punch."You will never change." She joked. "Of course, I am happy to see you here. I am seeing you after so long! You haven't changed a bit!" She said and gave him another hug. Totally forgot about a certain someone.Noah, Delilah's childhood friend. Stephen, Noah, Delilah, Damon, Jennifer, Ashley, they all grew up together till high school after which Noah shifted back to his father's pack who is an alpha as well. He is the current alpha of his pack. He was Delilah's childhood crush and we could say the same about Noah. Noah had proposed to her a lot of times in middle school when Delilah laughed it off thinking it off as some kind of joke and Noah also used to wave it off saying he was actually joking. They were alm
Stephen threw each and every thing that was placed firmly inside his office room on the ground in anger. His blood was boiling inside. He just wished to smash each and everything that would come up in his way. He was enraged. After what happened downstairs a few hours ago, he still couldn't come out of the anger. She was going to cook for him!Noah!The moment he remembered his name, he took the vase which was placed on the small cupboard in his office where he was standing and threw it at the glass wall from where the whole pack could be seen. It was intact till now but shattered into pieces the moment the vase collided with the mirror. The whole building shook at the effect. Thankfully the pack members weren't here now to witness this level of madness of their alpha. Not that it matters because they have faced his rage before though. He had asked everyone to empty his office building the moment he entered the building. Everyone left the office premises in less than ten minutes. The
Almost an hour had passed, Delilah had left for shopping and Jennifer was sitting beside Sleeping Nathan who wasn't feeling well suddenly. She was reading her magazine when Suddenly Nathan started crying. Jennifer placed the book aside and picked Nathan in her arms and started calming him down but she realized Nathan had little temperature."What's wrong with him suddenly? He was fine an hour back. How did he get a fever now?" Jennifer asked herself in confusion, unable to understand what she should do next.Jennifer continued patting Nathan taking her in her arms and then walked down to Stephen's mother. Nathan was still crying bitterly. Stephen's mother also tried to calm Nathan down but to no avail. Jennifer called the pack doctor meanwhile and the next thing she could do was calling Delilah on her number. But Delilah's number was not reachable. There was a low network at the market area where she had gone shopping and hence Jennifer was unable to inform her. She still messaged De
Ashley's anger flared as she said, "You have no right to misbehave with the son-in-law of this house."Delilah's response was swift and fiery, "And he has no right to misbehave with the Daughter-in-Law of this family. Instead of teaching me some good, why don't you waste this time on him? Who knows that may add some sense to his Tiny Brain?"Ashley's frustration reached a boiling point, and she vented her anger by forcefully pushing the Tray of Baby food from Delilah's hand, catching Jonathan off guard with the sudden burst of emotion. Even Delilah found herself taken aback by the intensity of Ashley's reaction."Did you forget you were thrown out of this house because My brother couldn't see you snatching my happiness?" Ashley's voice was laced with a veiled threat as she closed the distance between herself and Delilah, locking eyes with her in anger. "History can repeat again if you come in my way!"Delilah refused to back down, her resolve unshaken. "You can't scare me with your wo
Warning his sister and his family he pulled Delilah with him back to their room. Delilah's heart was aching seeing her husband like this. The moment they reached their room, he left her hand and then turned back to her.Stephen's directive was clear and resolute, "Delilah, just stay away from Ashley and Jonathan. I don't care what others think or feel about this. But I don't want you to even talk to them. Just ignore them as much as you can. Did you get that?"Delilah was rendered speechless. She couldn't comprehend the sudden shift in Stephen's stance. Just moments ago, he had fiercely defended her, and now he was instructing her to distance herself from his sister and Jonathan?Stephen, growing impatient with her silence, demanded, "Did you hear, Delilah, what I am asking you to do?"Delilah finally found her voice, a mix of disbelief and hurt in her response, "I can't believe you're asking me this. In fact, I just couldn't believe you raised your hand..." Her words trailed off, una
A FEW HOURS LATERNathan and Stephen were playing in the Stephen's room as Stephen promised him when suddenly a loud voice interrupted them. "Don't you dare to touch him!" Nathan gasped at the loud voice before hiding behind Stephen's back. He crouched down and turned himself into a small ball. He clutched Stephen's shirt tightly in his small fist. "Melissa? What the hell is this behavior?" Stephen demanded with a deep frown, his irritation palpable in his tone and the furrowed lines on his forehead. Melissa's sudden intrusion into his room, without his permission, had caught him off guard, and he was not pleased with the way she had raised her voice in front of him. Her attitude was, in his view, wholly unacceptable, and the presence of his son, Nathan, who was visibly frightened by Melissa's actions, only added to his anger."You think something is wrong with my behavior? What are you doing?" Melissa retorted, her own frown deepening as she defiantly entered the room uninvited. S
