YVONNE —Upon arriving home that evening, I found out my children had already dozed off."Gosh, how do I wake them up to eat?" I mumbled to myself. I don't want to wake them up because once they slept off during the night and were disturbed, they'd hardly smell sleep throughout the rest of the night, especially Liam, who would end up disturbing me the whole night, which would result in me to be weak the next day and even unable to go to work or even go late.However, I wake them up because there's no way I'll let my kids sleep hungry.After eating, to my greatest surprise, they dozed off immediately without disturbing me."Wow, is this a sign of growth or what? First thing this has happened," I mumbled to myself.I went to my study space to do some research and study about medical cases, both the ones that happened many years ago and the recent ones, but my main motive for studying them was to gain more knowledge on how to handle different cases.A few minutes later, after binge-studyi
CONAN — "Alpha Conan, what are you even doing here? Have you come to do the unthinkable?" Yvonne lashed at me heavily. I could tell from her tone that she had a grudge against me, probably because of the last-night incident. Apparently, I was the reason her encounter with Brian did not end the way she thought it would. "Not at all, Yvonne. I just wanted to let you know about something," I responded. "Huh, you want to tell me something?" She questioned me; her brows arched as she stared at me. "Yes, Yvonne. I have something I want to let you know," I replied. "Okay, so what is it?" she asked. I was silent for a few seconds. "You don't want to say something anymore? Or is the thing you wanted to let me know hard to utter?" she asked. I stared directly into her eyes for a few seconds and let out a deep sigh, finally summoning the courage to speak. "I'm getting married soon," I declared. Yvonne jolted upon hearing that. She stared at me with a disappointed gaze, like someone who
Leaving for my room, I was indirectly staring at Yvonne with the corner of my eyes to know her reaction. I wanted to know if she was surprised that I left without clearing her curiosity, and I was satisfied with my observation.Yvonne stood there and gazed at me till I stepped on the veranda to enter my room before turning weakly to head to her room."That's it. She still loves me, and I believe I could still archive her even if she's truly married. I'll make her my first Luna and as soon as I get married to Zendaya, she'll become the second Luna. Yes, I'll marry Zendaya even if I archive Yvonne back because she's also a good lady," I muttered silently, happily entering my room with my face written with satisfaction."I'll be the one to start polygamy in this pack, after all, I'm the Alpha, no one dares," I boasted to myself. I banged the door closed and pressed my back against it, breathing heavily."What the hell am I saying? Would that even be possible?" I muttered lightly that if s
CONAN —Upon walking through the staircase, and heading to the visitor's room where Sophia was lodged, I began hearing some familiar voices coming out of the room. "I want you to have a test of what your Alpha once had. Fuck me hard, baby, oh, I think I'm cumin."I was speechless. That was Sophia's voice. Did she just bring a stranger into my house and sleep with him? Although I have nothing related to marriage or relationships to do with her anymore but I was offended by her action. When did my palace turn into a hotel to bring in men and have sex with them? Sophia is up there with a man, while I was out there looking for the perfect gift to please her."Does Mom really know the type of person this lady is, or is this also part of her plan because Mom is full of surprises?" I mumbled, thinking of what to do—whether to bump into the room and scold them or respectfully walk out with my gift and wait for them to finish.After standing on the staircase for a while, I left for my chamber.
CONAN —"It's okay, Conan. This has just proved that Sophia was not ready for peace, nor would she be in the future. I've learned a lesson," Mom stated.I did not respond but fixed my gaze downward and thought about what to do."Should I skin Hakim alive too for this?" I wondered. "For how long would it last? I'm sure he would not be the last Sophia would manipulate into doing something unimaginable?" I sighed, heaving my head in confusion."It's okay, Conan. Don't stress it. I'll look for another way to tackle this issue," she said, approaching closer to me as she tried to console me."Please get your hands off me, Mom. You won't stop causing trouble for me in disguise," I reverberated."How, Conan? How am I causing trouble for you?" She gasped, staring at my face with a sad expression."You would not understand because you had another intention in mind when doing them, but it always results in unpleasant outcomes," I responded. "You remembered the dinner party and how it ended?" I as
YVONNE —I quickly woke up from sleep, panting like someone who had been running from his predator. I held my chest, trying to calm down my temper, as my heart sank into my stomach and my pulse was racing faster than even a sports car. I just had the weirdest and scariest dream of my life.I dreamt of Liam being chased by vampires, and he was crying and running to me, but when I stretched my hand to grab him, a vampire ran across him and tried to bite off his head. It was then that I woke up.I sighed heavily upon realizing it was just a dream. I sighed in relief, and my pulse decreased to its normal ratio."Thankfully, this is just a dream," I mumbled, stretching out my hand to make sure my kids were all okay."Liam, are you okay?" I questioned as I could not feel him on the bed.I reached for the switch and turned on the light. Lo and behold, my Liam was nowhere to be seen in the room."Gosh, this boy had sleepwalked out of the room again," I whimpered, instantly jumping down from t
YVONNE —As we arrived at the hospital, Liam was admitted into a private ward, a VIP section.However, the nurses prevented me from entering the room. I sat in the waiting room, waiting for the doctor who led my child in so I could talk with him. There was no way my child would be treated in my absence because I knew what these local hospitals were capable of and what they were not.Just then, a female staff dressed in a white long suit emerged from the passageway, and I rushed over to her."Please, I need to see the doctor in charge of my son," I demanded."I'm sorry, ma'am, but he's busy in there, attending to your son," she responded."Please, I need to get in there. I want to be present while the treatment is going on," I stated, but she gazed at me with scrutiny."I'm sorry, ma'am, but that's not how it's been done here. Your son is in a private ward and being taken care of. You will see him when the treatment has been completed," she replied."There is no way that is going to hap
YVONNE —"I'm sorry, Conan. I'm so sorry for blaming you when I saw you with Liam," I replied, staring at him with a remorseful gaze."I was never angry about that, Yvonne. As a mother, it's expected that you act mad because you're losing your son," Conan responded."Yeah, but I was so careless. I did not do what I was supposed to do; I did not watch properly after him to leave the door open and go to bed. It's all my fault," I sobbed, my eyes draining with tears."You don't have to blame yourself, Yvonne. I understand that you did not do what was supposed to be done, but you're a human. Although we are shapeshifters, we also make mistakes like non-shapeshifters and would continue as long as we're not immortal beings," Conan stated, reaching out his hand to my eyes and starting to wipe away the tears from them."Don't blame yourself, okay? Perhaps you were so stressed after work that you went directly to bed as you returned home," he added.I tilted my head and looked at him with emoti
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 —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
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 —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
