TEMMY

"That's Carter's mate?" I turned to Xavier after they had gone.

"Yes," He nodded, staring into the portal.

"Then why is she here? Wasn't she supposed to be missing?" I asked again, confused by the whole situation.

"I have no idea," He sighed, "Let's just hope things go back to normal sooner than later" His eyes were still fixated on the portal, as if wondering if he should go in or not.

"We should probably stay here and watch from the outside. Just in case anything goes wrong." I advised and he nodded in response.

Xavier and I stood in silence as we both waited for the next line of action. A while passed but still, no one had come out from the portal. Perhaps, were they getting overpowered?

I had to help them.

But just as I was about making my way into the portal, father rushed out hurriedly with a distressed expression on his face.

"Where are they?" I asked as I stood on his part, hence stopping him from going forward.

Father turned to me sharply, clearly not expecting to see

    HAILEYOnce I was out from the portal, I wiped the tears on my face and blinked away the ones that threatened to spill. Crying was of no use, instead I should be happy for Carter that he found his long lost mate and my revenge plan was coming together.I didn't have the energy to ponder over it so I began walking towards the direction of the exit, but then, I spotted someone."Maya?" I called just to be sure, and for some reason, my voice came out harsher than intended causing her to jerk in fear."H.. Hailey," She stuttered, shaking vigorously "I...I'm sorry, it's not my fault. Really, I didn't mean to do it?"I furrowed my brow in confusion. What was she talking about.While still on the ground, she crawled towards me, not minding the rough surface of the floor, "I'll confess. I'll say the truth."'Why is she being like this?' Confused, I sought solace in my wolf.'The effect of the blood moon coupled with betrayal from Tristan has began telling on her' Layla replied."Oh," I mutter

    XAVIERI was glad that everything was over, all that needed to be taken care of was done.Abidemi, the mastermind had been killed and before we left the party, Temmy had caused Tristan and Malachi to continue fighting themselves until they both drop dead.But while we were relieved that we survived, Hailey felt sad and though she tried to downplay her feelings, it was very obvious.Carter was probably spending quality time with Alanna while Hailey was here sulking."Don't you need to go home to rest?" I turned to Hailey who was sprawled on the couch."I don't have a place to call home," She muttered with her eyes closed.I exchanged glances with Temmy and she gave me a look that told me she'd take care of Hailey while I go to Carter."I'm heading out. I'll be back in no time," I said out loud to their hearing, then I turned around but just as I was about taking a step forward, I heard Hailey call."Wait!" She said and I responded by turning around.She lowered her head and chewed on h

    TEMMYEver since the battle, everything had returned to normal. The weather was nice and I seemed more happy.My relationship with Xavier had progressed tremendously, so much so that we could barely stay apart from each other. We were like two pieces in a puzzle.However, amidst the happiness and joy, Hailey was a mess. She refrained from interacting with anyone and remained cooped up in her room.I was beginning to grow concerned. This wasn't the Hailey I was familiar with and I knew it had something to do with that night and Alanna's reappearance.I knew I had to do something to cheer her up, so I took a walk to her room and knocked softly on the oak door.As expected, there was no response from her end but my mind was made up and I had already decided that I'd spend time with her, so I slowly pushed the door, which was thankfully, open."I'm not hungry," Hailey's muffled murmur came from beneath the pillow where she buried her face."Fortunately, I'm not here with food" I replied w

    HAILEY"I learnt it from you," Temmy chuckled in return."I am no show off," I refuted the claim with a smile, wishing that I indeed had the confidence to show off like she said."Then what do we call this?" She said and almost immediately, threw several dagger-like bolts my way, causing my survival instincts to kick in and I skillfully dodged them all."It's called saving my butt from your assaults," I replied, my chest rising and falling rapidly as I tried to calm my loud breathing."Okay, then let's see how long you can keep it up," Temmy said, and without giving me a second to catch my breath, she waved her hands together and just like before, the dagger-like bolts came my way but this time, it was with so much intensity that I found it difficult to keep up."Okay. Okay. I give up!" Already exhausted, I called it quits and thankfully, Temmy made the dagger bolts disperse right on time before it hit my face."Just for today," She replied with a smile, indicating that this had becom

    CARTER"Did you ever look for me?" Alanna's voice echoed in the room, reminding me that I wasn't alone."Of course," I said, looking up from my laptop, "Why would you even ask me that?""Because, you know..." She drawled, a way of informing me that something was wrong."Why would you think such?" I pressed on, and this time, I shut my laptop, paying full attention to her."Because you're the Supreme Alpha," She replied, looking away, "And if you wanted to find me, it wouldn't have taken you a long time"I sighed deeply, standing up to go sit beside her, "It wasn't as easy as it seemed." I divulged, "There was no clue on how to find you. Everything led to a dead end. I was so frustrated that I had to seek help from an outsider.""Hailey?" Alanna asked, ignoring all the other words I had just said, "She was the one you asked for help right?"I swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat at the mention of Hailey's name, and then I forced myself to reply, "Yes,""You two seem to have

    CARTER"Something's wrong with Hailey," Xavier said from the other end, "She's not waking up. You have to come now, Carter."Even after Xavier dropped the call, I still held the phone to my ear, as shock overcame me."What's wrong?" Alanna furrowed her brows as she observed me closely."H.. Hailey, S.. she's," I tried to speak but I couldn't even form a proper sentence as the news made me disoriented."Calm down. Breath," Alanna said, and waited for me to do as she instructed, "Now tell me, what's wrong with Hailey?""X..Xavier called to say that she's not getting up. I..I don't know what to do. I'm so scared," I divulged."Relax, nothing will happen to her." Alanna comforted me and then I grabbed my keys and headed the garage."I'll come with you," She said, leaving no room for arguments. Not that I'd have argued anyway. The only thing that clouded my mind was Hailey.In no time, we got to Xavier's and just as he said, Hailey laid motionless on the bed."I..is she d..dead?" My lips q

    CARTERI walked into the mystical portal, and instantly, a chilling sensation ran through my mind as both Alanna's and Temmy's words kept ringing in my ear. I had to get back before the time was up.I slowly walked further, but the atmosphere was filled with thick fog, making it difficult to make out the surrounding.I knew quite well that I had embarked on a dangerous journey but I honestly didn't regret it. As long as it concerned Hailey, I'd do anything.Especially now that I had known that she loved me and the only thing holding us back from being together was the stupid flower.The more steps I took, the more the fogs cleared up, helping me take proper cognisance of the environment.The mystical realm of Diasceria was a place of breathtaking beauty. Towering mountains surrounded it with their peaks hidden in mist. The valleys below were filled with a different species of vibrant flowers, their colors were exotic and their scents invaded my senses.Delicate creatures scurried arou

    CARTER"Well. Well. Well. Look who we have here!" I heard Malachi's voice and I turned to face him, his eyes blazed with malice and his voice dripped venom."What are you doing here?" I asked, surprised by his sudden appearance. How did he get access to this realm? What was his purpose of his visit?"I'm here for you," Malachi replied, smiling sinisterly. There was something different about him. It wasn't the Malachi I knew. It was as though there was something speaking inside of him. Like something else had taken over his body."Malachi, I do not have time for your games. Hailey is dying, I need to save her," I said with all seriousness, with hopes that Malachi would postpone his stupidity till the next time I was available."Fortunately for you, I'm not Malachi," He declaredI sighed in frustration, "Get out of the way, Malachi. I have important things to attend""I am Abidemi," He said, and I cocked my head in confusion. What kind of sick joke was this? Wasn't he supposed to be de

    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
