HAILEY

After Carter had gone for the council meeting, leaving me alone and worried, I couldn't sit still as I felt restless. I needed someone to talk to about my dream, someone that could understand me and that someone was Temmy.

Immediately, I called for her and since it happened that Xavier was with Carter, we came to a decision to sit out and talk.

I hurriedly freshened up and got dressed, and without bothering to have breakfast, I set out.

On arrival at the cafe we agreed to meet at, I glanced around, searching for Temmy who I found sitting at the far end corner, engrossed in a book.

And at that same moment, she raised her head, glancing my way and when she saw me approaching, she smiled at me.

"I hope I didn't take long," I said after settling into the seat.

"No," She shook her head with a smile, "I just got here not too long ago."

Thank goodness I didn't keep her waiting because that would have been very wrong of me, especially with help I needed from her.

    TRISTANMaya and I sat in silence as we had dinner, and while she had a visible scowl on her face, I ignored her and centered my mind on the soon coming blood moon and how I was going to eliminate Carter for good and have Hailey for myself.But to my dismay, Maya spoke up, "I can't help but notice how you're actively avoiding me," She commented with a voice dripping of hurt.I rolled my eyes internally as I could barely contain my sigh but I tried my best to put on the usual facade I always used on her, "What do you mean babe? I can never avoid you."Maya was the most annoying creature on Earth but I knew I had to endure as it was only a short time left before I disposed her off.After the blood moon and I successfully eradicated Carter, she'll no longer be of use to me, not like she had much purpose at the moment."You're clearly avoiding me, Tristan. You act as though you can't stand me and the only time you need me is when you need sex," She poured out her heart but I couldn't care

    ABIDEMI"There's a lot in store for you after Carter dies, you know that right?" I asked Malachi who stood beside me with a serious expression on his face.As response to my question, he cocked his head, urging me to continue, "He limited you so much and now you're not just going to be Alpha, you'll be ghe Supreme Alpha. That's been your dream, isn't it?""Yes," He nodded."Then a big reason why you should put in your all in this plan." I said whilst closely observing him, careful not to miss any reaction, "So you should tell me everything I need to know about Carter and his family."Malachi looked at me in silence and feeling the need to further convince him, I said, "I really want to make sure that everyone gains from the alliance, especially you, Malachi. You're the smartest person I know and you shouldn't be hindered."My words finally got to him as he spoke, "I have shared all I know about Carter..."He said and I almost groaned in disappointment and frustration.

    CARTERThe long awaited day of the blood moon had finally arrived and with each passing second, my worry toppled over. I couldn't help but feel tensed but despite how much Hailey and Xavier had pleaded with me to stay back, I ignored their pleas and accepted the invitation.I knew that was a foolish move on my part because of how weak I felt, but for some reason, I was unable to refuse the invitation.It was as though something strong and powerful was drawing me to it, making me unable to deny.I glanced at my reflection on the mirror for the last time, fixed my tie and turned to look at Hailey who sat quietly on the bed.For the past few days, she had been acting strange. Her neediness had come to an abrupt end but asides that, she was unusually quiet and had come super hyper and alert.I took slow steps towards her and when I was finally in front of her, I held out my hand before her which she took willingly, without a second thought.We stood facing each other and then I pulled he

    HAILEY Over the past few days, I felt incredibly calm and poised despite the chaos that was brewing. But Carter on the other hand, was a worried mess although he tried so hard to mask but it was so obvious, especially with how he sought solace in my embrace, making me vow to do whatever it takes, at any cost to protect him. I didn't care how much it'd take out of me but something inside of me wanted to protect him with my life, and that'd do. While we sat in the vehicle with Xavier and Temmy, and Carter went over the plan, it felt like I was present and at the same time, I wasn't. It was as though I was floating in the realm of the spirit and eventually when we got to the destination, I felt a strong negative energy in the atmosphere and thankfully, Temmy confirmed it. Carter helped me out of the car and together, we walked in. By merely touching his hand, I could sense his fear that he tried so much to hide, and yet again, the feeling of wanting to protect him intensified. Once

    TEMMYCarter took Hailey into the party, leaving Xavier and I alone so we decided to stay in a secluded spot in order to be able to keep watch without appearing suspicious.While observing the scenery, I noticed something weird. Around Carter and Hailey's table, there were three figures who an invisibility spell had probably been casted on them but it was poorly done as I could see their silhouette.Anyways, these three figures stood beside them listening in on their conversation, causing me to instantly panic as I wrecked my brain, thinking of a way to pass the information to Hailey or Carter without being seen.Suddenly, something dawned on me and though I was skeptical about it, I decided to give it a try.I centered my attention on Hailey and then, I spoke, "Hailey?""Temmy?" Hailey replied, sounding confused.Yes, it worked! I had managed to get inside Hailey's head and that delighted me.I passed the information to her and advised her on what to do. Although she was doubtful abo

    HAILEYMy eyes darted around as I tried to find the familiar individual who was sending intense gazes my way."Didn't we both agree to relax?" Carter said, sensing how alert and uneasy I was, "You have put a barrier spell on us, so there's no need to be on alert.""The barrier spell does not block out the prying eyes," I commented, still searching for the culprit, "And how am I supposed to relax when someone is trying to stare a hole through the back of my head.""... Pick a partner and together, grace the dancefloor," I overheard the announcer say but I paid no heed to him."I'm bothered," I continued venting to Carter, "It's oddly familiar and when I look around, there's no one. I'm sure I'm not hallucinating."Carter didn't reply for a second or two as he relaxed into the chair, his facial expression contorting to a frown, "it's probably him," He said, looking behind me.But before I could get the chance to turn around to get a glimpse, Tristan came to stand by my side and with a s

    TRISTANFully dressed and ready for the party, I got into my car thinking of how I was going to be the Supreme Alpha in no time.After tonight, I was no longer going to be known as the beta of Deepwater Pack and instead, I'd be identified as Supreme Alpha Tristan, the Alpha of all Alpha's.The mere thought of it got me super excited and I reveled in it as it would soon become a reality.Once I got to the party destination, I entered inside the hall where I immediately spotted Alpha Damian who walked towards me."Tristan!" He called out excitedly, "Fine evening, isn't it?""Yeah," I muttered the response, wondering why he was unusually excited."You've been a good beta so not to worry, I won't forget you," He smiled, "Once I become Supreme Alpha, I'll make you my Supreme beta."I sneered inwardly but I forced a smile out. The old man still underestimated me and thought I'd settle for a position as demeaning as his beta. Not again. That era had passed. It was time for me to rule and by

    CARTERI kept a close eye on Hailey and Tristan while they danced and I noticed how he tried to get close to her. Seeing him rub his body on hers got me extremely mad but I forced myself to stay put as I didn't want to cause a scene which could put us in a tight corner.I watched Hailey closely and noticed how she was getting angrier by the second, and I could only hope and pray that she remained calm until the end of the dance.But my prayers were left unanswered as she suddenly pushed Tristan away from her and gave him a tight slap, causing me to jerk up immediately.In the space of few seconds, a lot of people had gathered around them and murmuring filled the air. It got me anxious and worried but on a second thought, I tried to down play it.They'd probably think Tristan tried to harass her, right? I told myself and it wasn't far from the truth so I relaxed a bit.But the next second, Hailey was squeezing the life out of Maya, making me instantly panic. There was no possible way 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
