Next will be an epilogue.
Five years later! "Mwommy, can I go play outside?" Little Ava asked while tugging at April's dress and looking up at her mother with those big blue eyes. "Alright, honey but promise me you won't get your clothes dirty. Uncle Leon and Ethan are about to be here any time," April said while adding chicken gravy to the pan. "Okay mwommy," Ava beamed excitedly before dashing out of there. Jason had installed a number of playful things in the backyard of their house for the kids. They love to play there all the time. Two minutes later a little munchkin Jonathan hobbled over to his mommy. He grabbed her dress tugging at it lightly. "Mowmmy, Jon wants to plway too," The three-year-old Jonathan pleaded with those big blue eyes. April smiled at her baby as she picked him up in her arms. "Sweety, you'll get your clothes dirty. Uncle Ethan is coming with Evan. He's bringing sweets for you," April said while motioning for the maid to take over. "Bwut mowmmy, Ava is plwaying outside," The li
I watched as my best friend lived her dream, the most beautiful Luna ceremony with her beloved mate. I wished I would have a big Luna ceremony, but when I looked at my mate Liam aside from me, I was not sure when the ceremony would be.I smiled when I found Lily approaching us. I welcomed her with open arms as she hugged me. Her big pregnant belly stopped me from squeezing the life out of her because I was so happy. Liam chuckled at my enthusiasm as he gave Lily a side hug. “When do we get to meet the puppy?” I asked Lily.“The due date is in one week,”she said, smiling gently as she touched her belly.“Congratulations,” I chirped happily, my pearly whitw teeth on full display as Liam smiled at me. “April didn't sleep for a second last night because she was too excited to meet you today.” Liam told Lily, causing me to give him wide eyes to keep mum."April, I'm so happy you came," Lily said as she grasped my hands. “And I’m so happy for you,” I said genuinely.“Trust me, she is on c
Liam scrambled back to Stella who groggily opened her eyes and he helped her sit. Tears welled up in his eyes. It’s a sight I’ve never seen before. He hugged Stella who hugged him back as tears fell out of her eyes as well.I felt happy for them from the bottom of my heart. But as I watched them hug and talk about how much they cared for each other, somehow, I felt like a third wheel at the moment so I walked out leaving them alone.Getting a glass of water from the kitchen I headed back to Stella's room. I softly offered the glass but she only frowned at me. "Liam, what is she doing here? Did you marry her as dad asked?" Stella asked, panicking.I recalled how Alpha Jack once told Liam that he wanted him to marry me and this had upset Stella a lot whereas Liam didn't take it seriously. At that time I didn't know that I would be Liam's mate."Of course not. We are not married. She saved you. We’re…we’re good friends now." He said to Stella.I watched him stunned. Friends? Everyone kno
Liam carried her in his arms in bridal style. "Bring the car," He yelled to no one in particular. "I'll be fine," Stella said in a pained voice.I don't know why but I had a gut feeling Stella was lying but still, what if she was really in pain?"I will come too," I said as I hurried out of the packhouse as the car pulled over. I opened the door as Liam put Stella in the backseat. Liam asked the driver to get out as he took the driver's seat. I got into the backseat as I placed Stella's head on my lap and Liam put the car to drive."I'll be fine. Please, I don't need a doctor," Stella whined but continued to clutch her stomach."No, I can't take any risks regarding your health," Liam said.Within a few minutes, we reached the pack's best hospital as Liam pulled over."I think I'm fine now. I don't feel any pain," Stella said as she sat up properly on the seat and I watched her stunned. Just seconds ago she was writhing in pain and now she was fine?"I think there was some problem with
I cupped my cheek in absolute shock. My cheek throbbed in pain. Blood boiled in my veins as I charged forward ready to slap her when my wrist was grabbed mid-air.I whipped my head to look at him as he let go of my wrist. Grabbing Stella's hand he dragged her out of the room and I watched in grim silence from where they left.'April please calm down, baby. I'll have a serious word with Stella. How dare she hit you. Please relax, I will come back later,' Liam mind-linked me.I looked around the empty room, I could still smell the scent of the two of us mixed together, I could still feel his warmth and now I was left here alone and feeling cold with my cheek still aching. Tears brimmed at the back of my eyes but I refused to cry. I waited for him to show up, hoping that he would be scolding his sister but time passed agonizingly slowly and he didn't return.A tear escaped my eyes and then another and I started to sob. The ache in my heart was unbearable. 'He's a scum, even though he is
"Do you know whom you're talking to?" Liam hissed angrily.Jason gave him a cold look, then said impatiently, "If you really care about her, just put her down right now and let me check her out, since I’m the doctor of the pack.” Liam breathed in deeply as he put Stella on the chair, then he said to Jason in a reluctant voice, "Give her a good examination." Stella tried to refuse, but everyone ignored it.Jason checked her vitals. "She is fine. She just got excited," Jason said and Liam's brows furrowed. "What do you mean excited?" Liam asked."I heard Stella speaking to April," Jason said as he repeated what Stella said to me. Liam stiffened after hearing that."He's lying, Liam. I didn't say anything like that," Stella came to his side as she looked at Liam with tears.Liam wasn't looking at her. His eyes were regretful as he gazed at me."I know why this man is lying. April, it’s you, right?” Stella suddenly turned to me and shouted, “ you must have an affair with him, that’s wh
I was laying on the bed. The sounds of people laughing and enjoying themselves at Liam's birthday party down in the hall reached my ears. 'Liam is making me despise him more and more,' Frea said sadly.The fact that my wolf had started to hate Liam was something I have never thought would happen but I knew Frea wasn't wrong. 'I understand you,' I replied.'No, April. We should leave him. He doesn't deserve us.' Frea said and my heart agreed with her but I can't take action right now.I don't want my baby to grow up as a rogue amongst the wild as I had. Not to mention my child would be worse off than myself without a father. Our lives would be in danger every second as a rogue because no other pack would take the mate of the other pack's Alpha. I had to do something, I couldn't just wait and let them decide for me.I helped Liam revive the pack after Alpha Jack's death and I put in a lot of work and overcame all the odds to do it.I gave up my education and my dreams, I got A's in al
My heart was thumping in my ears as I opened the door with sparse breathing, it wasn't locked.My heart dropped down into the deepest tunnel of despair and my eyes widened in absolute horror.Stella was on the bed half naked with Liam hovering over her. His hands were all over her as he was kissing her.My stomach churned in disgust and anxiety as I felt like throwing up.Liam's head whipped in my direction and he peeled himself off of Stella as he hurried out of the bed and approached me.I was frozen on the spot. My heart jackhammering in my chest with such force I was sure it would burst out of my ribcage any second.Stella hurriedly wore her shirt as she got out of bed as well. Liam stood in front of me as he gently grabbed my arms, there was fear swarming in his brown hues."April, baby-"He was about to grab my hand when I slapped his hand away. "Don't touch me with your filthy hands," I hissed sharply as tears stung the back of my eyes but I refused to cry. “Listen, April, you

Leon walked into the house with squared shoulders. His chest puffed out as if he owned the place. Antonio was sitting on the sofa as he stood up to meet him. Leon shook his hand before he took the seat opposite him. "Let's not waste time. I've heard from my daughter that you both want to be together," Antonio said. "Yes, you heard right. She's my mate and I want to make her my Luna." Leon said confidently. "Are you forgetting she's my daughter first? She's allowed to do what I order her to do." Antonio gritted angrily but Leon remained calm. He hated how her father talked about her. "She's not only your daughter. She's Julie Antonio who has alpha blood in her veins and is very capable of taking her title as the alpha of this pack. She's my mate no matter what. I won't allow you to wed her off to someone else." Leon said calmly as he inhaled her scent. His eyes snapped to the door and he found her standing behind the wall trying to stay hidden but he knew she was there listeni
Leon inhaled deeply resting his forehead on the steering wheel as he waited patiently. She was taking too long to walk out of the university. It was already past her clock out. His head snapped up when he inhaled her scent. His eyes fell on her beautiful frame as she walked out of the front gate in all her elegance. It was too risky of him to be there knowing that Jason could see him and Ethan has also frequently picked up his mate from the university. He waited for her to get closer and before she could hail a cab. He pulled over and her eyes fell on him. "Come I'll drop you," Leon said but Julie lightly shook her head. "That's not needed." She declined politely and he frowned. She has been ignoring him a lot recently while he wanted things to work between them. "Julie-""It's okay, I'll take the cab. Thank you," She said not looking at him and his jaw ticked. "Get in the car, Julie unless you want me to haul you up on my shoulder and toss you in the back seat. Now don't eve
"Susan," Jason started but she was solely staring at Ethan in disbelief. Susan couldn't believe her ears. So this was Ethan's plan all along. She stomped inside as he called after her but she didn't stop. Susan hurried into her room walking past Blair and April as she got inside her room and locked herself in. Susan stepped into the restroom. Grabbing the basin she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Bitter tears gathered in her eyes. There was a loud knock on the door followed by Ethan's voice. "Susan, let me in." Susan blinked as a tear slid down her cheek. So it was his plan all along to woo her She knew about it from the start. She knew he was trying to woo her because he wanted to sleep with her. But then the moon goddess made them mates. Susan breathed in deeply. She heard their conversation. She heard what Jason said and she also heard what Ethan answered him later. It was obvious Jason knew Ethan couldn't woo her that was why he even offered him that f*cking hea
Susan was beaming to herself when someone came beside her startling the life out of her as she jumped in her place. "Did I scare you?" April asked sheepishly, earning a scowl from Susan. "You sure did. What if I had a cardiac arrest huh-" Susan just started arguing when April let out a loud gasp, jumping on her. "No way," She exaggerated, making Susan frown. "What?" She asked confused as April gaped at her. "You guys marked each other," April exclaimed in wonderment and Susan's cheeks flushed. She quickly pulled the collar up. She had properly hid the mark but April surely had keen eyes. She noticed so quickly. "Did you complete your pharmaceutical assignment?" Susan asked casually. April raised a perfect brow at her. "You can't change the subject, honey. Now are you spilling the beans or do you want me to extract it out of you or Ethan?" April asked seriously, causing Susan's eyes to widen as she grasped April's hand. She closed her locker and dragged April out of there because
Ethan was wide awake as he lay there with her in his arms. Last night was the best night of his life and there was no doubt about that. He never thought that a mate bond could feel so beautiful. That a mate could change his life, his way of thinking.Her words kept raking his head again and again. She had confessed that she loved him but did he deserve her love? He didn't know. She was a precious little woman which made him want to protect her from the whole damn world.Susan stirred in her sleep as she rubbed her cheek on his chest to get comfortable but whined when she couldn't get comfy.Her hand unconsciously raked over his chest before she placed it under her cheek but that wasn't cozy enough for her cause she moved away from him giving her back to him as she cuddled in herself.Ethan frowned before he snaked his arm under her and pulled her back on his chest as he caged her in his steel-like arms. She whined in her sleep and tried to get free but it was impossible.Her eyes slow
He stilled inside her. He could burst right then and there but he controlled the urge, the veins in his neck were popping out at the intense control. "Susan," He rasped gently as her body slowly fell back on the bed and a sob tore through her lips. "It hurts," she whimpered as her nails dug into the flesh of his shoulder. Of course, it was hurting her. She was so tiny and he was well... Susan only ever heard how amazing it felt. Though she was grossed out by such info at that time, now she wanted but nothing prepared her for this pain. Ughhh! "I'm sorry, it was the less painful way," He rasped as he kissed her forehead and then both of her eyes one by one. He kissed her cheeks before his lips caressed hers and he kissed her gently. She was tense as a board. "Relax, Susan." He whispered while giving feathery kisses all over her neck. His gums tingled as canines extended out. His eyes darkened even more as his wolf peeked out. He tried to control this insane urge to mark her and
Her bosoms were right at his face as he inched closer. He licked his lips as his eyes were solely fixed on hers. Susan gulped as he pecked the swell of her right bosom.His tongue darted out as he licked around her nipple in a circle making hot sensations engulf her.His hands were settled on her bottom as he squeezed her rear causing her chest to rub against his lips. His hot breath fanned the valley of her breasts.The way he licked his lips as if he was going to devour a meal, made her heart stutter in her chest.His tongue licked her bud and played with it as she watched him, her breathing sparse.She breathed heavily when his mouth opened wide and his lips wrapped around her bosom. His tongue fondled her bud as he sucked hard causing her back to arch.She tried to free her hands so she could grab his hair but her arms were restrained and she was at his mercy as he devoured her bosoms."Ethan," She gasped when he slightly bit her nipple and then suckled on it. The sensations that
Susan stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was donning a beautiful black dress that clung to her body like a second skin. Her hair was in loose waves as she gazed at herself. She was looking gorgeous. This was the first time she had dressed up sexy. Her lips were painted a seductive shade of red. And the thick coat of mascara looked beautiful in her eyes. A loud honk from outside had her eyes snapping at the clock and it was exactly 8. Susan quickly grabbed her purse and coat, she hurried out locking the door. Ethan's jaw slacked at her perfect ass and when she turned around he was gobsmacked by her beauty. She looked drop-dead stunning. Susan hurried over to him as she took the passenger seat and he was so engrossed in checking her out, he completely forgot that he was supposed to open the door for her. "Close your mouth," She said with a light smirk and he closed his mouth, clearing his throat. "You look stunning. I need a breather please excuse me," With that sa
