HAILEY

I woke up to a sweet sensation on my lower back as Carter absentmindedly drew circles on my back as he held me tightly.

"You're up," He said softly and pressed a kiss on my hair. His movements were soft as though it was a normal occurrence that he had gotten used to.

I nodded with a smile. "Good morning, did you sleep well?"

"Never had a better rest" He commented, earning a chuckle from me.

"What time is it?" I asked, when I realized that the sun was peeking through the thick curtains. It looked bright for it to be early, and I felt well rested for someone who happened to wake up early and being awake all night.

"It's just a few minutes past ten" He replied nonchalantly, stroking my hair gently.

Instantly alarmed, I tried to stand up but his hold around me tightened.

"Carter, we need to go to the company," I reminded just in case he had forgotten. Lateness wasn't tolerated in the company and we had both strictly adhered to it

"We can skip today" He said, pulling me closer

    CARTER"We're so late. We need to get ready immediately," Hailey said as she laid beside me but didn't make an attempt to stand up.I figured her orgasms had worn her out. With a light chuckle, I got out of bed and carried Hailey with me, princess style, to the bathroom.I then placed her under the shower and turned it on, making sure the that the temperature was right.I grabbed a shampoo from the shampoo niche, poured it into my hands and lathered it up."That's mine," Hailey commented, as she thought I was about to wash my hair.I ignored her and rubbed the shampoo on her hair but she shifted away and turned to face me immediately I touched her hair."I can do it myself," She stubbornly said."I know you can but I want to do it for you so can you please relax and let me?" I asked patiently.Hailey smiled and eventually turned her back to me. I took it as a cue and I poured the remaining shampoo and massaged her scalp.I could tell it felt good due to how her eyes fell closed and sh

    CARTERThe second I read the message, my whole world seemed to turn void. The only thing that ran through my mind was the fact that grandfather was dead.I wanted to doubt it and question the validity of the information but it was mother who sent it as in as much as she was annoying, she wouldn't like about a trivial matter like death, and grandfather at that."What's wrong?" Xavier asked when he noticed my reaction but I couldn't find it in me to come up with a reply. I just stared blankly at the wall.Xavier walked to my side and glanced at my phone to have a look at the message, "fuck," He muttered when he read the content, "Fuck. Fuck. Fuck" he cursed continuously.Hailey quickly wiped the traces of tears from her eyes and stood up, "what is the matter? You guys are getting me worried."Xavier glanced at me to relay the information to Hailey but when he realized that I wasn't ready to speak, he said to her, "Grandfather is dead!""What? How did it happen?" She asked, her eyes as w

    HAILEYI took no offense in Carter's mother's obvious disapproval for me, instead I walked out of the mansion and strolled towards the garden. They were all mourning, hence the rising anger among them all. The best thing to do was to provide them with space to clear their minds. I too needed the space to think.A lot of things had happened recently and I was beginning to think that the reason for my rebirth had to do with much more than Tristan and Maya's betrayal. Perhaps the moon goddess wanted to open my eyes to reality. "Look who we have here," I heard a voice say, taking me out of my daze and when I looked up, I came face to face with Justin, Carter's bratty brother."Yeah, look at me" I muttered nonchalantly as I tried to by pass him but he stood in my way. "What do you want? Aren't you supposed to be mourning and not trying to pick on me?" I asked, clearly not in the mood to banter words with him."Oh, I see what you're doing," He said like he had found a map of a treasure is

    CARTERI looked back at Xavier after I had pried open grandfather's mouth and discovered that his tongue was completely blue."Temmy warned us" Xavier said, looking disappointed in himself. "But we were too late""We just didn't know they'd strike immediately," I said, trying to downplay the fact that I was outsmarted by the enemies.Xavier nodded, not also willing to acknowledge that we messed up. "Since they have succeeded in killing Grandpa, it means that the next target is you." I grimaced. I knew quite alright that I was the next in line meaning that I had to act fast."We have to take care of them before it turns out of control, Carter" Xavier paused, watching me intently as he continued, "you do know that Hailey's father is involved, right?"Instead of giving him a reply, I stared at the wall behind him. I knew Hailey's father was involved and I didn't plan on being lenient with him.He came at me unprovoked and I was going to retaliate with full force. Hailey could hate me af

    HAILEYEver since the day at Grandpa's house where Carter blatantly asked me to chose between my father and him, with me giving him no answer, he had avoided me entirely.We were like two strangers living together. The only time I saw him was in the company but he doesn't even acknowledge me.All my work had been handled by Xavier, leaving me with no opportunity to speak with Carter.But Carter didn't understand me. It wasn't that easy to pick between my father and him.Carter was a good man, no doubt and he had treated me nicely but I loved my father, though I had just come to a realization that he wasn't the good man he presented himself as.But he was my father. He was all I had. He had been there for me since I was a child and we shared a deep bond.I didn't have time to think about it and in the heat of the moment, I was speechless. I hadn't expected Carter to react the way he did but I understood him perfectly.He had just lost his grandfather whom he cherished dearly and on top

    CARTERAfter my little banter with Hailey, I stormed off to my home study, frustrated.Actually, the reasons I sat in the living room was because I was waiting for Hailey to get back. She had taken quite a lot of time to return and that got me worried.But then, we she came back, I just wanted to rush up to her and pull her into my embrace. I had missed her so dearly but I refused to give in.I reminded myself of the fact that she still hadn't chosen to be with me.But as I sat in my study, trying to get some work done, I was unable to. Several times, I caught myself thinking about Hailey.How she was under the same roof as me but I couldn't talk to her or even hold her. It was extremely difficult to stay away from her.I had ignored her in order to make her realize that she truly needed me but it only proved a point. It made me realize how addicted I was to her.Because even when I claimed to ignore her and act like I didn't care, I occasionally snuck a peak at her in the company and

    CARTERI bent over her face, sucking her lower lip into my mouth, tasting her. I deepened the kiss as she lowered herself further on to me, swallowing the shallow gasp that escaped her mouth.I lowered my head and sucked her skin between my teeth and she winced out of pleasure, her walls involuntarily clenching around me, earning a loud groan from me.Fuck. "You're so incredible, Hailey" I told her as I grabbed her hips, "I can't be gentle with you right now. You don't know how much I've missed you."I held onto her tightly as I thrusted into her had from beneath and she moaned loudly. Her pussy had never felt better.It was as though anytime I took her, it felt like a whole new experience altogether.I threaded a hand through her hair and pulled her closer, my heart racing. I wanted to lose myself in her tonight. Fuck, I had never craved anyone as much as I craved her. It felt like something was constantly drawing me to her.Hailey leaned in and kissed me as she rotated her hips, her

    TEMMYEver since I eavesdropped on my father's conversation with Alpha Damian, I had been restless. Yes, I had informed Xavier of their plans but I couldn't help but think that it was late.My father always acted on his intrusive thoughts and he wasn't a man who wasted his time. Once he had decided to do something, he did it immediately. This got me worried as I had a feeling that my father had already done something bad.Being locked up in my room, I couldn't communicate with anybody and I had was unable to muster the energy to summon Xavier through a mirror. Because as punishment, father had instructed the maids to deprive me of food and water. I constantly paced around my room, looking for ways to escape but because I had previously put the guards to sleep in my attempt to escape, my father had tightened the security. Worry and guilt was clawing at me as I wondered how Xavier and his family were. I sincerely wished, even though I knew it was near impossible, that father wouldn't

    CARTER"She's really grumpy and demanding but I love every second of it," I said, knotting my tie."I'm sure you do." Xavier replied, "I'd even mistake you for the carrying the child because of how happy and healthy you look," Xavier's comment made me laugh. He was right as I had heard the comment several times. A lot of people said I was enjoying the process of fatherhood way to much and my reply was always the same,"Becoming a father to Hailey's and my child was the best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire years of existence." Though the pregnancy made Hailey act up and become easily irritated with everything including me, I didn't mind. I loved every single moment of it and because of that, I now had a journal where I document each day of her pregnancy. Her food cravings, her likes and dislikes and so much more.Another thing about Hailey was that the pregnancy made her conscious of her body. She'd stand in front of a mirror and comment on how fat and out of shape sh

    CARTERHailey's behaviour left me worried as this was the first time I had seen her this way. After she threw up, I couldn't help but notice how deathly pale she looked and the fact that she didn't touch her food made me scared.I found it difficult to concentrate as my mind thought of several reasons as to why she looked pale. Perhaps was she sick with a deadly, incurable disease? Due to how deep in thought I was, I didn't notice when Xavier walked in, until he placed a document on my table and muttered, "Earth to Carter.""Oh" I looked at him, "When did you come in?""Not long ago," He replied, taking a seat, "What's on your mind?""Hailey," I replied."What about her?" He asked curiously."I think she's sick.""Why do you have that thought?""Because for the first time ever, she threw up and she looks pale," I sighed, "and when I asked her, she said it's that time of the month. I think she's trying to hide something from me," I placed my elbow on the table and rested my head on it

    HAILEYMy relationship with Carter had improved considerable after the honeymoon proposal. We barely argued and we did everything together. He was the sweetest and the most perfect man for me. I had gotten used to his sweet side which he only used for me alone.Carter and I stood in the kitchen, which had become a regular witness to our intimate sessions. But that wasn't the point. We were baking a bread together for breakfast and we were waiting for it to be ready."Do you think it'll come out great?" I asked even though I already knew the answer. Carter was a great good and I envied him for that quality."Of course," He smiled, "Whatever I whisk up must come out delicious. Chefs kiss" He folded his fingers, brought it to his lips and kissed loudly.I rolled my eyes at him with a smile on his face, "Narcissist," I muttered."It'd be a waste to be this good and not show it off, you know that right?"I threw an ugly face at him and he laughed. "Don't tell me you're jealous?" He wrapped

    CARTERI stood and stared at the vast expanse of greeny before me.Xavier had told me before hand about Temmy asking me to lead her pack.I knew what she was worried about.Temmy was capable of ruling, but the fear of the Innocent people having to suffer if any mischief came up was the issue.I'd been thinking about it for a while and I decided to finally say it to Xavier.A combined honeymoon, Carter and Hailey, Temmy and I.However we'd have to leave that pack and although the peace was all settled, it'd still take a lot of arrangements to make for a trip like that. "Xavier,"I called from behind as he walked towards me."What are you doing here," I asked and shook my hands." Thank you for accepting Temmy's offer," he thanked and he gave a stoic response."I've something to suggest Xavier," I began and he turned to look at me Interestedly." What is it that you've in stock," he asked as I kept mute."A combined honeymoon," I said and he stood shocked before finally getting a grasp

    TEMMYI lay down on my bed, reminiscing about the relationship between Xavier and me.I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts to no avail, they consumed me whole.I'd been thinking about it the whole day, our relationship, my relationship with him.It felt even more different after the incident that happened last.When he told me that he loved me, I felt my heart thump rapidly but it thumped harder when I saw him losing consciousness in my arms.A Small part of me wanted to stop but I couldn't, I struggled harder to stop the rampage Inside of me.But despite all this, he didn't stop holding, despite the chances that it could be his last chance of survival.A thought clicked in my mind, I'd marked Xavier and he had as well, but I had no memories of doing so.Love was sweet and I ran my hands through the mate mark on my body, smiling like a Cheshire cat to myself.The small date, little Jabments of PDA when we both hadn't confessed our feelings to each other, the thrill that came wit

    HAILEYMy face burned bright red as I realized what I had just done. "Uhm," I coughed awkwardly, "I..I didn't mean it like that" I tried to come up with an excuse but it didn't seem like Carter bought it."There's no need to retract your words, Hailey." He chuckled deeply, a sound that shamelessly made me want to clench my legs together.I was short of words so I decided to keep mute. Since I met Carter, I have never felt as needy as I felt at that moment and the most surprising thing was that I wasn't under any kind of spell that made my senses become heightened."Do you want me to fuck you or not," Carter asked, staring deep into my eyes, "Tell me you don't crave me as much as I do and I'll turn around and walk away, pretending that this conversation didn't take place."I swallowed the bundle of nerves that had formed in my throat. Of course I wanted Carter. I wanted him to do all sorts of wicked things he could come up with to my body. I wanted him to fuck me until I wouldn't be a

    HAILEYI hadn't spoken to Carter since the fight. We just acted like we couldn't see ourselves, we just went about ignoring each other.I tossed around on the bed unable to fall asleep due to the pain of my injuries. I sighed for the umpteenth time as I sat up on the bed, thinking of a way to distract myself from everything.Finally, I decided that ice cream was the best option so I came down from bed and walked out of my room, heading downstairs.The living room was dark, only illuminated by the light coming from the kitchen. I contemplated going back to my room as I assumed Carter was in the kitchen but on a second thought, I walked further. The maids had probably forgotten to turn off the light.But I was wrong. A shirtless Carter stood by the kitchen counter, chugging down a bottle of water, his body on full display. I halted in my track, pondering on my next line of actions.I thought about heading back to upstairs to my room but just as I was about to drag my feet, Carter droppe

    XAVIERAfter the chaos, we finally made it home. I towered over Temmy, watching her closely as she slept.She looked incredibly peaceful, a huge contrast to her earlier behavior. But I didn't blame her for that. It wasn't her fault. I could only hope that she was back to normal.Speaking of the incident, I reached for my neck, the exact place where Temmy bit me and absentmindedly caressed it. I wasn't sure if she realized that she marked me which was a way to stake her claim on me.I felt giddy that she remembered me even while struggling with demons. She choose me even while she wasn't in her right frame of mind. I could only hope and pray that she doesn't regret it because then, I wouldn't know how to act.I was glad that no substantial harm was inflicted on anyone as it would have made matters worst. Thinking back, Hailey suddenly crossed my mind so I left to check up on her but not before placing a kiss on Temmy's forehead.In Hailey's room, while she sat on the bed, Carter stood
