"Would have sent her to her room, but I need to get to the bottom of the poisoning and what Monica told us," my father linked me, and I nodded. "I just wanted everyone to see her and know she is okay. The three of you can go and handle pack matters now. Time is of the essence." he said. I left wi
"What you say is valid, Tia, and I think three days is too long a time to do that. Also, there is no way I will let you come along. I said you could get involved with Military matters quite alright, but I meant as a consultant and strategist. There is no way you will be engaging in combat my darling
Tia. Caleb was surprised that I knew what he was trying to keep from me. I knew we had lost our might. I was counting on it, so I decided to put the money into procuring weaponry instead of funding the military. The region that had stayed with us had remained even though we did not give them money.
"Give them a day or two," I said, and she raised an eyebrow at me. "I can't believe you are this calm, Tia. Luke just got home." She pointed out, and I shrugged my shoulders. "I am getting used to it, Kim. Luke is an Alpha; I do not expect him to always be with me. That would be absurd and disturb
"Why did you not tell me?" Aesop asked her calmly, "why did you lie to me?" he said and ran his fingers through his hair. He was trying to handle his emotions and was doing a good job, too. "I married you, Stacy. I claimed you. Where is his mark?" he finally asked, and she looked like her life was
"Did you try to poison yourself?" I asked, and she looked at me, afraid to tell me the answer. "Please, Stacy. Stop keeping things from us. You graciously said goodbye to all of us and left notes for your children. We need to know because a staff member was poisoned too," I said, and tears began to
Luke. Caleb and I dropped Tia off at the mansion and proceeded to base. I noticed that Tia had developed thick skin because she wasn't looking bothered. It was very unlike her. Usually, I would need to convince her that I would return before she would let me leave. I guess my trip to Santa Braee ha
"What about the territories that are still under us?" Mike asked, and I shook my head. "As far as we are concerned, the only people we can trust are people from Woodclaw city. I will not want our newly procured weapons to fall into Luis's hands. They can desert us at any time. The last thing we wan
Grand aunty Ummul passed away a year ago, and we still miss her, especially Emma and Chloe. We had learned sign language because of her. We did not mourn too much because we knew she had gone to rest. Luke was glad we could care for her a little longer before she died. Aunty Amira was married with c
"You missed breakfast," Luke said, and she looked away. I noticed a hickey on her neck. She saw that I noticed and tried to cover it. "Come on, Luke, Aunty Amirah can come for breakfast whenever," I told him, and she smiled at me. Not wanting him to say anything else, I urged him to move on. "I ho
Tia SIX MONTHS LATER Luke and I woke up late, so we had to rush to prepare for breakfast. Chloe and James were peaceful babies, and even though they had nannies, we checked on them at night to ensure they were alright. They were a blessing. Paul was growing well too. Doctor Khalifa had said his he
"Stacy.." he managed with his deep voice., but it sounded weak and defeated. I looked up gradually, and his eyes were filled with tears. "I am sorry, Stacy. I was mean to you. I should have made more effort. I should have loved you harder. I take all the blame," he said, and I shook my head and sto
Stacy. I spent three months missing Aesop. It was hard. Sometimes I wished I didn't leave, but I needed time alone. All my life, I had been in someone's shadow. First, it was my parents, then Regan and then Aesop. I never had the time to discover myself and learn my weaknesses and strengths. I neve
"Every time you feel a contraction, I want you to push," She said, and I nodded. The first contraction came, and I pushed as instructed. ONE HOUR LATER I had delivered twins. A boy and a girl and the nurses had taken them to clean them up. I was anxious to see them. They had wheeled me back to the
"I know you didn't think your exit would affect him much, but it did. When he said he loved you, he meant it. When you were poisoned, he never left the hospital until the day he brought you home. He remained by your side. When he pushed you out of his room, he gave them an order at the gate not to l
"No, Luke. Let me see her first, then I will call you to bring him," I said and took out my phone to text him the address. "I am sending you her address right now," I said, and he looked a bit worried. "What is the matter, darling?" I asked him, and he sighed. "You are almost due, Tia. I would no
"Have you been able to reach Stacy?" He asked me, and I shook my head. I knew it wouldn't be easy since Caleb her son, had been unable to reach her. He travelled to Dome two months ago when she opened the foundation, and he did not meet her. She had been M.I.A. since then. It was as if she deliberat
