YVONNE —"Alright, Mommy, but remember your promise," Kiara stated, and they started leaving reluctantly.As soon as they left, I let out a deep sigh of relief. I could not believe that I had just managed to avoid the question Kiara asked without them suspecting I did not want to answer the question."By the time you would be back, I believe Amanda would be at home, so she could continue with you guys. It is only if you guys see me by then that you will be requesting an answer concerning Kiara's question," I mumbled.I picked up my phone and dialed Dr. Naty's phone number. I need to call her and inquire about our deal because she has yet to call me.As I dialed the number, the phone rang for a few seconds, and it ended without being picked up by someone."Maybe she is still busy with work in the hospital," I mumbled, dropping my phone.I went to the kitchen to get lunch ready for my kids because I did not know exactly when Amanda would be back for me to depend on her to prepare lunch
YVONNE —Three days later, the DNA result was finally out, and I was really happy about it. This was because it proved positive. Conan is actually the father of the kid—he is the father of all my kids. This means I will be going back to the pack. At least he could see his baby for the first time.Although I had agreed with Mr. Thomas on his request to go back to Conan, but I am still sceptical about it.I was still in my room robbing some body cream and powder on my baby when Amanda walked in."You are still worried about this. I thought he made a promise to you about your career. Didn't he?" Amanda asked me as she walked.It seems she had been eavesdropping from the door for a long time before she walked. Of course, for her to notice I was worried, she must have heard the disturbing murmuring I had been having with myself here for almost thirty minutes."Not really, dear. I was just having a debate over something that had... ""A debate?""Whatever, Amanda. Please just let me be. By
Two Months Later SOPHIA — I was lying helplessly today on the corner of the gutter when a car ran across me, splashing me with dirty water from the potholes as usual. To my greatest surprise, the car halted and the driver alighted. It was a lady. I thought she was coming to scold me for not avoiding her car at first, but I was shocked to my bone marrow as I noticed it was Yvonne. "Oh my goodness! Sophia, is this you?" she screamed as she noticed I'm the person. She must be really happy. Tears streamed down my cheeks immediately because I concluded that she would make a joke of me, but the reverse was the case. She ran to me and helped me get up. "Yvonne, I'm really sorry for everything I have made you pass through in life," I apologized, crying. "It's okay, Sophia. That is not necessary right now. You need proper medical attention first. That is the most important thing," she said, opening the back door of the car for me to enter. "Get in the car so we can leave for the hospita
YVONNE – "I need you to moan my name as I'm punishing you, or else I won't forgive you. Moan, baby, moan my name." ___ My fists pounced on the punching bag for the hundredth times. Sweat coated my forehead, dripping down my neck, and my heart was raced faster due to the constant depletion of my strength. Suddenly, I felt a wave of nausea engulf me, and I sat on the floor. "What could this be?" I wondered. "It's still morning and I don't feel ill. So why am I nauseated?" I mumbled. Just then I felt something forcing its way up my throat to my mouth and I ran near the woods and threw up. I was so tired, but the anger within me forbade me from stopping the training. Conan, my alpha-mate of one year has suddenly changed. He doesn't look at me the way he used to. Instead, his admiration gaze has turned to someone else—Sophia. Sophia is the Princess of the Darkmoon Pack, a powerful werewolf pack that shares a border with my pack, the Moonstone Pack. Everything was all
YVONNE— Seeing my reaction and the stick, they ran back into the route they came from. I exhaled a breath of relaxation and started running back to the Alpha castle. Safety first! A few minutes later, I arrived at the Alpha's palace, and I noticed there was a gathering between Conan, Adolph, his father, Monica, his mother, and Sophia. However, Sophia was lying on the floor, and I noticed some injuries on her leg; however, the injuries looked fake. They all glared at me with suspicion, including Conan, while Sophia lay on the floor in a critical condition."Where are you returning from, Yvonne?" Conan asked. I glared at him with disdain and ignored his question, as the incident I witnessed earlier in his room was still fresh in my head. "She doesn't want to answer; can't you see? I told you this girl is more dangerous than you could imagine," Adolph remarked, staring at me with disgust. "Oh, you sneaked out to conspire with the rogue Lycans to attack my daughter-in-law after you h
YVONNE — "What the f*ck is wrong with you, Yvonne? You want to land me in trouble?" He growled, his eyes turning red. Fear gripped me because I knew what was about to happen: his wolf was about to attack, and there was nothing he could do about it because when he became aggressive, his wolf took control of his body. Before I could speak, Conan had pounced on me, and I fell on the tiled floor; his fangs pierced through my soft skin. "Ah!" I yelled as I saw my hand bleeding. "After conspiring with the rogue Lycans to injure her, you had the guts to come here to attack her again!" Conan growled. "It's okay, Conan; don't hurt her, please," Sophia said, pretending to have my interest in mind. Conan then left me on the floor with his eyes still fierce and his jaw clenching out of anger. "You want to kill my mate in my palace," he remarked, breathing heavily. After a few minutes of standing, he left the room. I lay on the floor, sobbing, as the pain of my wounded hand and leg was unb
SIX YEARS LATER On a huge island, in the middle of the ocean, stands a majestic building. Of course, this building belongs to none other than me, Yvonne. I sat on the couch in my garden, taking in the fresh morning breeze and sipping some liquor from the glass of wine I was holding with my legs crossed. I recalled how I got to the level I am now, and a smile crept onto my lips. At the same time, I felt sad about the sad memories, both the ones I experienced in Moonstone Pack and what I went through fending for myself and my babies while studying at a college. I would go to lectures during the day and use the night to work in a restaurant where I served as a waitress. It was not easy for me because I was depriving myself of sleep. I worked till midnight, when there would be no customers, before leaving for my apartment. My boss provided me with an apartment that was beside the restaurant, so I could easily walk home after work without the need to board a cab or trek at midnight.
CONAN — I was lying on my bed with a gloomy face, trying so hard to wave off the thoughts about what had befallen me, when Hakim, the beta, came in, and I quickly sat up. "My Alpha, the hospital had just responded, but they demanded that you sign a contract first before they would proceed to assign you the doctor who would take care of you," he stated. "What arrant nonsense! Who does that?" I responded, my face frowning worse than it had been. "What has my signature to do with healing me from this deadly disease?" "I'm sorry, my Alpha, but... "But what?" I interrupted him with such a stern gaze that made him keep quiet but stare at me as I reverberated. "Throughout my life, I haven't seen or been to a hospital that demands a contract be signed before treating the patient; what does this mean?" I was confused and surprised at the same time. "I don't know their motive either, my Alpha; maybe that's their rule," Hakim responded. "Rule? Or do they want me to sign off my life to the

I could not believe that I had just managed to avoid the question Kiara asked without them suspecting I did not want to answer the question."By the time you would be back, I believe Amanda would be at home, so she could continue with you guys.

YVONNE —One Week LaterI was just returning from the hospital, and the thought of my discussion with Mr. Thomas kept flashing through my mind as I was driving.I could not believe that I had just agreed to his request. Only if he knew that I did that out of pressure."Well, the DNA test will conclude," I muttered.I had managed to reach out to Sophia and requested that she get me Dr. Naty's contact information after she objected to doing the task, saying that she is avoiding Conan because he would kill her upon seeing her. It was then that I told her to get me Dr. Naty's phone number so she could do the job for me.At first, Dr. Naty argued about doing the job, but when I told her the reward for the project, she quickly hopped on it.She told me the job would take her a week because of the procedures she was to follow, so Conan would not suspect anything wrong.However, it has been one week since I gave her the job, so I am waiting for her feedback today."I hope this works out well
YVONNE —But how am I going to do that when none of the two men are with me here in New York City?I thought for some time but could not come up with a valid idea."No. I need to do something fast," I muttered and stood up to leave for my room.As I walked into my room, I remembered that I had spoken with Sophia a few days ago. I recalled how I ended the call with her, promising to call her back only not to call as I said."I think she is the person who can work this out for me since she is in the pack. Yes, she is cunning and could do all sorts of dirty jobs," I mumbled. I picked up my phone to dial her number, and immediately, I realized that she told me she did not have a phone anymore. She only called me that day through a call agent.I decided to secretly get the blood samples of Conan and his hair to do the DNA test in the city without going to the pack just so I could be sure he is truly the father of my baby."So how do I reach this girl, for goodness sake?" I wondered.A few
YVONNE —"Girl, I could not even believe you did this to me in the office," I said to Amanda as I walked out to the sitting room, where she was busy watching movies."I'm really sorry, dear. For real, I can't believe I did that. It was as if a spell was cast on me. I could not even raise my gaze anymore until the moment he asked for my contact," she stated."Oh, you both exchanged phone numbers as well?" I asked, chuckling.I never even knew all that happened in the office. It was the moment I left for my office to get Mr. Thomas what he requested I should get him that they did that. I had thought he really needed those files, unaware that he was just trying to send me out of the office to excuse them just so they could have their moment."Maybe that was the reason you insisted on going with me just so you could perch yourself on him," I remarked, feeling infuriated. How could she do that to me? How could she stoop so low just for a man?
SOPHIA —I could not tell exactly what was wrong with me. The past two days have been hectic for me because I have been sick. I could not afford to go to any medical centre, though, because I had no money with me.The last money I had was the one I used to call Yvonne yesterday, but she refused to speak with me, forcing me to end the call with a promise to call back, but since yesterday until now, she has not called back.I visited the call centre yesterday at exactly five o'clock, which I told her, and I waited till eight o'clock in the evening, yet the call centre agent did not receive a call from Yvonne.I lay on the floor, inside the bush, crying. This was the only place I could stay during the day because there was no shelter I had other than the kiosk where I sleep at night. However, during the day, it is always in service to the owner because that is a coffee shop.Meanwhile, today was the day I had promised both Alpha Conan and the Lycan king to get Yvonne for them. However, I
YVONNE — As we were walking to the elevator, which would take us through the last floor where Mr. Thomas' office is located, my pulse began racing faster. I waved at my colleagues, who were greeting me. Some were excited to see me again after one month of being absent from work. "Dr. Yvonne, welcome back!" one of them remarked, waving her hand at me with her face filled with joy. "Thank you, dear. Unfortunately, I have not resumed work. I still have one more week to go," I replied, walking to her and giving her a warm embrace. She was among the people who made me wish not to ever leave this hospital due to how nice she had been to me. A few minutes later, we managed to walk out of the hall where the staff were, and we headed to the place where the elevators were. "I hope I have the confidence to say what I think is best for me inside his office," I muttered. We entered the elevator, ascending to the last floor. Amanda turned her gaze on me with a smile. "Now I know the reason yo
YVONNE — "Yvonne, are you not yet ready?" Amanda's voice sounded from the sitting room. "A few minutes, please. I'm almost done," I responded, hurrying to apply body cream to my body. Today was finally the long-awaited day on which I had agreed to meet with Mr. Thomas and give him feedback on what I had concluded. However, Amanda had requested to escort me just in case it got to a point where I could not defend my opinion and freely say what I had concluded, then agree to what would not sit well with me out of pressure. A few minutes later, I was finally done dressing. I stared at myself in the wall mirror in my room, and behold, I was satisfied with the way I looked. A smile of satisfaction crept onto my lips. I picked up my baby, carried him in the baby carrier, and walked out of the room, heading to the sitting room to meet Amanda. "How do I look?" I asked her as I walked out. "Absolutely stunning!" she yelled, and I blushed a little. "Well, let's get going. It's al
