Lavina – POV"Your condition surprises me, Ms. Lavina," I looked at the doctor. "You were infertile, and it seems your health did a 360-degree turn, showing that you are now fertile.""How can this be? Could it be an error on your end?" I asked."No, Ms. Lavina. I am sure your health was not good enough to conceive. I will need to run a blood test," the doctor said. She took a blood sample from me and walked away. I rolled out of bed, my mind swirling with disbelief and confusion about this unexpected turn of events."It seems you and I will be doing a lot of baby shopping together," Alice said with a cheerful smile. I smiled at her enthusiasm. I longed to hear this news, and now it comes to me just when I started piecing my life together. I'm not unhappy, but somewhat worried about the child's father. Two men are potential candidates—one I hate to the core, and the other is already engaged. This news will only bring tension to Archer's life if he becomes the father."Thinking about w
Lavina - POVI couldn't sleep at all. I've been alert, waiting for the Stalker to reply, but no message arrived. Who could be this new nuisance trying to bother me? As I glanced at the clock and saw it was 6:00 AM, I decided to try to catch some sleep before getting ready for work, where I needed to review the budget for the recently signed film project.However, I woke up in a panic at 8:30 AM, realizing I was late. I quickly freshened up and dressed formally, hurrying out of my room to make it to the finance team meeting."Good morning," Grandpa's voice startled me as I was about to leave. He offered me a sandwich and juice, but I craved coffee."I need coffee to survive," I told him. Grandpa just gave me a stern look, clearly not approving. "No coffee for you, Lavi," Grandpa said firmly. "I spoke with Alice, and she mentioned the doctor's orders to stick to specific foods due to your health. Unfortunately, coffee isn't on the list." I sighed deeply, wondering how I'd survive the n
Archer– POVWalking into my new penthouse, I surveyed the space—minimalistic with barely any furniture, just a sofa, a TV, and a bed for sleeping. The phone rang, interrupting the silence, and I glanced at the caller ID to see it was my mom. I answered."Archer, where are you?" Mom asked her irritation with me palpable."You know where I am, Mom," I replied, her sigh of frustration audible on the other end. I had recently confessed to my parents that Lavina and I had been intimate, resulting in a possible pregnancy. This revelation was problematic since I was engaged to Eden. Given Eden's background—from a wealthy family and the influential Greennight Pack—this situation could have severe repercussions. My engagement with her was a matter of personal commitment and a strategic alliance between our packs. My pack, the Nightale Pack, sets other packs' standards and rules. However, upsetting the Greennight Pack could lead to political strife, something my father has always managed to avo
Lavina–POVGrandpa and I sat back, relaxing. I told my grandpa what was bothering me because I couldn't keep things from him, and I explained what had happened with our three new neighbors."Everything will be fine," Grandpa reassured me. I nodded and took a sip of my fruit juice."Grandpa, did you ever know my dad was a dragon?" I asked, breaking the silence that had surrounded my father for so long. Grandpa and my dad argued a lot, even when I was seven. Grandpa let out a heavy sigh, showing his discomfort with the topic."Well, I did know about your father being a Dragon shifter, not a human," Grandpa admitted. "Once I found out, I asked Roana to leave Gunther. I was even considering reporting it to the authorities, if you believe that. I tried to talk to your mother, Roana, about it, but she said she knew and chose to marry him. She apologized for keeping it from me.""No wonder you weren't so surprised when I told you I was a dragon shifter," I said. Grandpa let out another sigh.
Lavina – POV"Maybe she's been wrongly tested for her powers," Keenan suggested. I let out a heavy sigh."You're making this difficult, you know. You saw the report, and then you just left," Archer snapped, barely containing his anger to avoid striking Keenan again."Have you not caused enough trouble here?" Leo added, his tone light but his words sharp. Ella and Darcus remained calm, yet their eyes reflected a clear hostility as Keenan stormed out of the office, slamming the door behind him on his way out of my house."Thanks for stepping in, everyone. Though I could have handled Keenan myself," I said, trying to lighten the mood."Why don't we address the actual issue, Lavina?" Ella proposed, cutting through the tension."What do you mean?" I inquired, puzzled by her insinuation."It seems like there's something on your mind that you're reluctant to share," Ella pressed, her intuition sharp. I sighed deeply. "Perhaps if Alice were here, you'd be more inclined to open up." No sooner
Lavina – POV"Please, Archer, don't hit him yet," I urged, as Archer charged forward with lightning speed. It was too late; he landed a decisive blow on Keenan, sending him staggering backward. Keenan managed to block the next attack, narrowly avoiding another hit. James intervened, using his magic to pull Archer away and halt the assault.Archer was seething with anger. "Keenan is a deceitful bastard. He must have known what he was doing to Lavina," he spat out, furious. "And now, he's shifting the blame onto Veronica, his current wife, to save his skin.""Let's hear Keenan out before we make any judgments," James cautioned, trying to diffuse the situation. But Archer was not easily swayed, his anger palpable."Let me go, you jerk," Archer snapped at James, who was restraining him with magic. Reluctantly, James released him. Keenan rose to his feet, glaring at Archer. James quickly ensured that the confrontation didn't escalate further, but tensions were high, and it wasn't long befo
Leo–POVToday marks the day of the paternity test. Lavina appeared nervous; it's been a month of eerie silence after catching a stalker. This person wasn't a vampire, but a dragon shifter obsessed with Lavina. He kept a watchful eye on her until his arrest. My anger towards him was palpable; I wanted to punish him severely for his crimes. Archer, too, was furious, attacking the stalker viciously until Darcus intervened to prevent a murder."Leo, are you worried?" Lavina's gentle voice snapped me out of my thoughts."Not worried, exactly. I mean, I'd be thrilled to be a father, especially if it's with you," I responded. Lavina's eyes widened in surprise. I had let my guard down, revealing my emotions to her. I realized I needed to be cautious; showing too much emotion could push Lavina away, just like she distanced herself after our one-night stand. "What do you mean?" she asked, curiosity lacing her tone."I mean, I will handle whatever news comes my way," I replied with a calmness I
Lavina–POVDressed in my red dress accentuating my hourglass curves, I gently touched my belly, aware that my baby bump would soon be visible. I checked my makeup in the mirror, applying red lipstick and arranging my wavy hair into a bun. Slipping into black heels, I was ready for the evening. Just then, a knock on the door came precisely at eight. I admired Leo's punctuality as I made my way to answer it, but Grandpa got there first. Leo entered with a bouquet of red roses in hand."You're quite the gentleman, Leo," Grandpa said, offering him a warm smile. Leo returned the gesture."I try my best to keep that smile on her face," Leo replied. His words made me realize I was smiling, too. Was it a crush I had on Leo, or was I subconsciously diverting my feelings for Archer to him? I didn't want to delve into those thoughts now, especially not in Leo's presence. After all, he was the father of my child, and he deserved a chance to get to know me—as I did him."You look beautiful," Leo s
