A FEW HOURS LATERStephen had planned this getaway to the farmhouse as a way for the family to unwind after a challenging period. Delilah, in particular, welcomed the prospect of a change of scenery, hoping it would offer a much-needed break from the stresses she had been navigating.Amidst the hustle and bustle of packing, Nathan's excitement filled the air. The living room transformed into a makeshift runway as he raced around with his beloved fighter plane, his laughter echoing off the walls. The anticipation of the upcoming retreat fueled his youthful energy.The farmhouse, nestled in the peaceful outskirts of their quaint town, was the perfect escape just an hour's drive away. Its serene surroundings promised a reprieve from the daily grind, providing a canvas for the family to paint new memories.As Nathan's impatience bubbled to the surface, he couldn't contain his eagerness. "Mom," he exclaimed, "you both are taking so long! It's already 09:00. When shall we start?"Delilah, a
"But I want to see Nathan riding," Delilah expressed, torn between maternal curiosity and the cautionary concern for sun exposure."Just Nathan?" Stephen teased unexpectedly, injecting a mischievous tone that added a playful dimension to the unfolding scene. Delilah, momentarily taken aback, found herself caught in the whimsical dance of family dynamics, a lighthearted touch enhancing the tableau of their countryside escapade. He didn't wait for her to answer. He smirked at his baby, kissing her cheeks and Aashi started moving her head to the other side since her father's rough stubble did prick her. Delilah looked aside not wishing to see this cute session between the father and her baby, though she could hardly do so.He left with Nathan to ride the horse and Delilah sat on the chair in the shade of the balcony, watching them. Making Nathan sit on the Horse first, Stephen too joined him behind, holding the belt to ride the horse. The stableman was told to click a picture by Nathan
AFTER AN HOURStephen, Delilah and Nathan were out for a walk. Nathan too was excited. Stephen and Delilah walked side by side, maintaining their own distance between each other. But they were for a change talking to each other normally. They were talking about Stephen and his father's experience here.The soft murmur of distant conversations blended with the gentle rustling of leaves as Stephen's words hung in the air, creating an atmosphere steeped in nostalgia and regret. "Not every weekend, but yes, every month we did come here to spend some time. I used to love those weekends. Dad wasn't an alpha then. He was just my dad."Delilah's eyes, reflective pools of emotion, betrayed a hint of guilt as she absorbed his words. "You should have denied coming here then. This place has memories of him, and you lost him because of me."Stephen sighed, his features sculpted by a blend of understanding and pain. "Don't blame yourself for that, and I couldn't deny Nathan. There are very few time
Nathan was finally asleep and Stephen was sitting on the Recliner and watching a Movie on the TV, keeping the volume low. Delilah pulled the quilt on Nathan and then Kissed Nathan on his forehead which wasn't missed by her mate. He still made sure she doesnt know she has been noticed. He turned back to watch the movie and then finally she came to him."It's 11:00 pm. Won't you sleep?" Delilah came to him and asked while looking at his face. He didn't look at her. "Not sleepy." He replied without looking at her. She didn't say anything after that. Delilah sighed and then sat beside him on the recliner as this was big enough for both of them to share. She too watched the movie with him. It was a comedy movie and that too of her favourite actor. They laughed in comic scenes, they wished to change the channel in the romantic scenes but couldn't. They were truly enjoying this little time they got for themselves after handling their kid. Delilah herself didn't know when she started dozing
Nathan was busy showing everyone the Pics that he clicked from the Camera. Damon had connected the camera to the LCD and there they were seeing the pictures on the Big Screen.Ashley was surprised to see all these pics. Especially seeing Stephen enjoying the Horse Riding, Nathan's pictures, and last but not the least Stephen and Delilah posed together in a Coffee Shop. With each picture, he was describing what situation he clicked the pictures in.Ashley was only fuming from within.. She never felt her brother would start sharing that reserved space which was only for his mother and sister, so soon with Delilah too. He was really changing and that too rapidly. Jonathon was also shocked. Delilah and Stephen were really getting close these days which wasn't good for him. All the others were happy seeing this change in them. After all this is what they were waiting for. To patch up Stephen and Delilah and make them stay together forever. Stephen's mother could see Ashley's face and it cl
STEPHEN'S OFFICE - EVENINGThe Cabin Door knocked and Alpha Ron came inside taking the permission of Stephen. He was a man in late 40's and Stephen did have a client relationship with his pack before. He sat before Stephen and then gave him an invitation card."Alpha Stephen, my daughter's wedding," announced Alpha Ron with a proud smile."Congratulations," responded Stephen, offering a polite acknowledgement."No, Alpha Stephen. You cannot congratulate me here. You and your whole family are invited," Alpha Ron insisted, extending the invitation beyond mere pleasantries."Uhh!!" Stephen hesitated, contemplating the best way to navigate the situation, but Alpha Ron pressed on."Don't deny. It's an important day in my life. And I wish all my well-wishers are with me that day," Alpha Ron emphasised, a genuine desire for camaraderie evident in his words."Okay. Will come," Stephen conceded, recognizing the significance of the event in Alpha Ron's life."Thank you so much. I should leave no
PACK HOUSE Stephen's footsteps echoed through the empty rooms of his home, a haunting reminder of the absence that hung in the air. The familiar sights of family life were replaced with a void, leaving him with a gnawing desperation. It was this desperation that drove him to approach a nearby omega."Send your Luna Delilah upstairs," Stephen demanded, his voice carrying the weight of worry.The omega hesitated, uncertainty furrowing his brows. "Luna Delilah? But she and Nathan are not at home. Alpha Noah had come to take them."Frustration etched on Stephen's face, deepening the lines of concern. He swiftly dialed Delilah's number, each ring echoing the growing tension in his chest. Finally, she answered."Are you staying there tonight?" Stephen questioned, anger seeping into his words like cracks in a dam holding back emotions.Taken aback, Delilah responded, her voice carrying a mixture of surprise and trepidation, "No.""Then what time should I expect you back here?" Stephen press
A FEW YEARS AGODelilah's heart pounded as the weight of her father's actions unfolded before her. The dimly lit room held an air of tragedy, heightened by the somber backdrop of Stephen's lifeless father lying in a pool of crimson."Dad, why do you have blood on your hands?" Delilah's voice trembled with a mixture of fear and confusion.Her father's eyes darted around, searching for the right words. "Delilah, my princess..."The revelation struck like lightning when she noticed her father's claw embedded in Stephen's father's chest. Horror painted her face. "Dad, why is Stephen's dad in a pool of blood? What is your claw doing inside his chest?""Delilah, listen to me!" Her father's desperate plea echoed in the tense silence."Why isn't he moving, dad?" Delilah's eyes welled with tears as the harsh reality unfolded.Delilah's desperate pleas echoed through the dimly lit room, the weight of her father's actions pressing heavily on the fragile fabric of their relationship. The air hung

Anjali: Shyam changed Aarti's medicines chotte..!! And I.. I knew this..!!She closed her face and started crying bitterly.. That was such a shock to the entire family.. She let her husband chang Aarti's medicines? Purposely? Why? TO kill her? Sheetal wasnt able to believe this too.. Anjali can stoop so low? Only for getting her Chotte and his Son back to her? How could she? Sheetal wished to Slap Anjali for this deed but NK just held her hand and asked her to be calm. Khushi handed Aashi to Akash and rushed to her husband when she saw his feet trembling after knowing this truth.. She held him to support him while his eyes still glued on his Di.. His Di had done something so worst that no one from this family would ever be able to accept her after this.. His hand was surely shiverring and this much of tension and shock was not good for his health too..Nani: Anjali?? How could you even hide all this for so long? Such a cruel heart you have got ? You cannot be my Grand daughter.. So mu
Stephen walked to his sister's room to see her. Delilah followed him. He sat next to his sister on the bed and held her hand. His sister meant everything to him. After his father's death and his mother getting busy with the pack responsibility, she was the one in whom he always found the warmth of a mother. She may never have been able to shower the needed love on him until now, but he didn't care for that.All he wished was that she should be happy. He knew she was the one who destroyed his married life. Maybe she did this out of jealousy, thinking that Delilah would divert Stephen's heart towards her, and hence she would be ignored. The reason could be any, but he never thought of punishing her for that sin. He ignored it for her well-being, for her happiness.And today when he has come to know she is expecting a baby soon, how could he even think of hurting her? He would never be able to do that anytime. But that does not mean he will get that Jonathan outside bars. Never. He had do
PACK MANSIONAshley paced nervously in the living room, repeatedly calling her husband's number without success. Her mother, noticing Ashley's restlessness, approached with concern.Her mother asked, "Ashley, dear, what's wrong? Why are you so agitated?"Ashley replied anxiously, "Mom, I'm waiting for Jonathan to come home. He left suddenly, saying he had some work. I've been trying to reach him, but no response."Her mother, now a bit worried, inquired, "Even Jonathan isn't home yet?"Ashley questioned, "What do you mean, 'even him'? Who else isn't at home?"Nani hesitated before sharing, "Delilah and Nathan. They went to meet Noah, and they haven't returned. Stephen went to check on them."Surprised, Ashley contemplated if Jonathan was somehow connected to Delilah not being home. Without saying anything, she stormed back to her room, frustration evident in her movements.***********PATROL STATIONJonathan and Noah, both nursing their wounds, awaited their turn to give statements to
Noah coldly confirmed, "Yes, Delilah, you. And I needed someone for help because it was impossible for me to enter his pack and execute this plan. So, I hired someone. Someone from your family. Someone whose first and last priority was money. Only money."As Noah finished speaking, another voice cut through the heavy air, and Delilah turned to see the source."And that man was me."The revelation hung in the air, and Delilah faced the unexpected speaker, her eyes widening with a mix of disbelief and horror.Finding Jonathan walking towards them with a creepy smile on his face sent shivers down Delilah's spine. She had suspected his involvement, but the revelation that he was part of this sinister plan from the beginning left her horrified. Noah and Jonathan embraced tightly, their camaraderie intensifying Delilah's fear.Noah, resuming his confession, walked with Jonathan towards Delilah, the weight of their collusion bearing down on her.Smarat interjected, "Exactly. Jonathan, who wa
AFTER AN HOURRhea pleaded, "No ways, Delilah. How can I let you go alone? Let Bro come; he will drop you back. Please, let him come, and you can meet him too."Unable to deny, Delilah agreed, instructing Rhea to take care of Nathan. She seized the opportunity to slip into the guest room, expressing her need to retrieve something. Rhea nodded in agreement, focusing on Nathan while Delilah seized the chance to investigate Noah's room. She sought a clue linking Noah to Jonathan and the mysterious connection between them.Closing the door behind her, Delilah hurriedly searched Noah's room, hoping to find evidence of their association. Despite her efforts, the closet yielded only clothes and personal items. Frustrated but determined, she continued her search. Old albums fell, distracting her momentarily, but she had no time to inspect them.As she placed the albums back on the shelf, an old photo slipped out – a snapshot of Noah and Rhea playing on a beach, building sand castles. Noah, ju
PACK MANSION - AFTERNOONAshley, wearing an expression of determination, approached her mother who was engrossed in reading a Holy book. "Mom, we've thought about something," she declared, prompting her mother to pause and look up.Their mom, sensing a significant announcement, inquired, "What is it, Ashley?"With conviction in her voice, Ashley revealed, "My husband and I have seen enough here. We are planning to settle somewhere else forever."Their mom, while not surprised, listened attentively. "Your wish, love. Who am I to stop you?" she responded calmly.But Ashley had another request. "Before I leave, I need my share."The Holy book now rested on the table as their mom, taken aback, stood up. "Share? Which share? Didn't Stephen give you everything that belonged to you long ago? He assigned all the property that belonged to your mother to you without keeping a penny for himself. What else do you expect now?"Ashley clarified, "What he gave me long ago was my mother's share. I sh
