Erica's POV"Miss Erica? Miss Erica, can you hear me?"The voice seemed to come from far off. What was going on?I opened my eyes just a little and I was immediately blitzed by a bright white light.I closed them instantly as the pain burned my irises."Get the light away from her. Back away."Through my eyelids, I could see the light dissipating. My heart rate dropped a little and I relaxed.I heard the shuffling of feet around me and finally opened my eyes again.The people around me were clad in white scrubs and had masks over their noses and mouths.“Where am I?” I asked softly, my eyes taking in the room around me.“You are in the hospital,” one of the nurses answered me. “How do you feel?”I tried to sit up but I was gently pushed back to lie down on the bed.I raised my hand but I felt something tug it back down to my side. My eyes caught a glimpse of the tubes and needles that were attached to my wrists as well as a pair of handcuffs that kept me chained to the bed.My eyes gr
Erica's POVElma popped her head in and I smiled weakly at her, urging her to come inside the room.Her smile widened, and she came in and was promptly followed by her brother and sister."Mom, are you alright?" Ethan asked as he stood by my side.I reached over and carried him and placed him on my lap.Side by side with Dante, looked just like him. The resemblance was staggering and it made my chest uncomfortable.Elma stood by my side and I saw that she wasn't smiling at me but rather at Dante.My anger burned."Hello," she said shyly, blushing slightly.Dante gave a slight chuckle and beckoned on her to come closer."Elma, no..."But it was too late. He had already hoisted her onto his lap.I pursed my lips angrily.Ethan turned to Dante and Elma and Dante gasped, seeing how alike they looked."I remember you," Ethan said loudly, "you are the man that nearly hit Elma."My eyes grew wide. He nearly hit Elma? When did this happen?"It's okay, Mom," Elsa reassured me. "It was just a m
Dante's POVI marched out of the room. My head was a flurry of emotions.I had nearly killed Lorenzo and that stupid assassin had nearly killed me.The weight in my heart began to increase.It was my fault. The truth was glaring, and I could no longer avoid it.It was my fault that Erica's father died. That stupid assassin tried to shoot me and must have misfired and killed Alpha Rowland instead.It was the only thing that made sense. The matching poison bullets were a big giveaway.Fuck! How could I be..."Sir?"I was yanked out of my thoughts by a soft tiny voice and a small pull on my trousers. I looked around and saw one of Erica's children, the one I presume to be the youngest, tugging at my ripped pants and smiling.Her eyes and hair matched mine so perfectly but something about her stood out from the rest of her siblings.She... She mirrored Erica so perfectly. I could... I could feel her energy inside of her."Hello again, little one."I stretched out my hand and she wrapped h
Erica: “You? Show up as my Luna? No way, I don’t want people identifying me as the Lycan King who got married and still has nothing to show.” Dante’s words pierced my heart so hard that they made tears build up in the corner of my eyes immediately. I held the shirt I was folding tightly. I fixed my eyes on Dante, my husband. He was seated on his work table in his room and he had a file in his hand.Dante is a very tall man and his looks were to die for, he looked like those huge tall basketballers, only he was bigger and a slap from him would probably kill me. I was the exact opposite of him, I was very tiny, and could barely stand for myself. While I was a useless Luna who couldn’t bear a child, Dante was a strong Lycan king, who wanted a child badly. “Dante.” I tried to speak but he shut me up immediately. He probably knew what I wanted to say, I wanted to tell him that his words had hurt me but he was tired of me saying that to him. “If you are tired of me telling you this,
DanteI hadn’t expected to see my room door fling open, the worst was when Erica stood in front of the door with her expression giving nothing else but shock. Her jaw dropped and her eyes were wide open.“Dante, you disgust me.” With just these words, she stormed out of the doorway.I wasn’t bothered about what she had seen and I didn’t want to give explains to someone that wasn’t worth it.Erica wasn't worth the waste of time and she knew that for a fact. I had only gotten married to her because I wanted my mate to give me children but here she was barren.Laura isn't my cousin, I wasn't a mad person to sleep with my cousin and Laura is the woman that I want. The woman who is stronger than the weakling I am married to and I would do anything for Laura.Laura didn't want Erica to attend the party because Erica always stole the show. After all, she is my Luna and a very pretty Luna at that and the only way to make her stay behind was punishing her for stealing the necklace. Erica didn
Erica:No, I had heard wrong, he did not just say he wanted a divorce.“Dante, you didn’t just say that. You’re not leaving me for Laura .” My thinking was disorganized like I was. I was trembling, he had hurt me a lot but this was too much. “I’m serious, Erica. I want you to leave my pack, I want you to leave me. Our marriage is over.” As he said this I held my chest tight, his words hit me hard like an arrow had pierced me straight at my heart and it was painful.“Dante..” hot tears streamed down my eyes.“There’s no need for you to be here, Erica. I had gotten married to you because I wanted a child from my mate, but you haven’t even given me a child, not even a miscarriage. You know you are not the type of woman I want. You are a pathetic worthless wolf, Erica. Leave. Sign the papers and leave.” He picked up the file he had left back on my Vanity table and handed it to me.“So you mean you are leaving your mate for someone you’ve been sleeping around with? Please, Dante, we can f
Erica:I wanted someone to pull me out of this hell. I wasn’t ready to lose myself, I wasn’t ready to die, not yet.My eyes flickered open, and white shining light penetrated my eyes, I was on a soft bed and my body didn’t hurt anymore. I looked around the room, the sun shining from outside the room penetrated the room. I was In the hospital room. I was saved? My head banged a little as I lay on the bed trying to understand how I had gotten here, the door of the room was pushed open and a man in a white coat walked in, it was the doctor.“Hello, I’m glad you're awake now.” As he said this he went ahead to touch me on my head, used his light on my eyes, and did some other tests.“How do you feel?” He asked and I tried to give a smile but I quivered and I broke down.“I don’t feel so hurt like I did before.” As I said this, I had flashbacks of events that had happened, the pain I felt in my chest, the one in my tummy, the one in my vagina. The baby I felt I was losing.“I’m glad to he
Erica:Six Years Later“Will you marry me, Erica?” Lorenzo was on his knees, stretching his hands, he showed me the little box that had the most beautiful ring in it.“I want to make you the happiest woman, Erica, give me the chance to make you mine.” “Will you marry me?” Why was I giving this a thought? I had agreed to get married to him, and I had told my parents I would get married to Alpha Lorenzo for the sake of my children so why was I finding it hard to say yes? I swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat and I nodded. It was just the both of us in the open field.“Yes Lorenzo, I will marry you.”’I smiled, I am happy that I am doing this for my children.“Thank you.” Lorenzo grinned from ear to ear, he put the ring on my finger then stood from his knelt position, and cupped my face gently.“Thank you for making me the happiest Alpha alive.” He kissed me on the lips and I kissed him back.“I’ll scream to the world and tell them that Erica is mine.” I laughed. It was all f
