DonaldI looked at the guard in front of me and sighed. For the first time since the wedding, I had finally settled enough to start work yet the pack elders refused to let me rest. I leaned back on my chair and slowly arranged the stuff I still needed to do, before slightly nodding at the guard who bowed and left. I couldn't help but wonder what the elders needed to talk to me for. However, there was no way to know except I went to meet them. For the first time in a while, they had occupied the living area of the pack house and I found that odd. It meant there was something important they wanted to say, but I couldn't imagine what. Also, someone living in the pack house needed to have called their attention to something, and right now, it was only I and my uncle remaining. I frowned slightly and wondered why he would have let them in, but if they wanted to speak to me here, there was nothing he could do. Besides, I had given these men peace, happiness and even an engaged mate, get t
GeraldineI rushed to the floor when Julie fell to the ground, but I wasn't able to catch her before she dropped. By the time I got to her, her eyes were closed in a painful expression and I knew she must be badly hurt by the news I brought to her. Once again, I was responsible of the pain she was currently feeling and I cursed myself inwardly. Maybe, I should have let her find out on her own.Perhaps if the Alpha had come to talk with her by himself, she wouldn't be in this situation right now. I looked at her closely, trying to see if there was any sign of her waking up soon. Sometimes, it could happen but something told me it wouldn't in this case. My fragile hands began to tremble as I touched a spot in her neck, feeling for her pulse. I sighed out in relief when I realized that she was still alive but just unconscious.I looked towards the back of her head and stomach to see if there were any bruisies, but I saw none. I thanked the Alpha and my wise thinking to cover the floor ar
DonaldI fumed in annoyance, trying to understand the real reason for this meeting. My uncle and the pack elders were infuriating me and testing my presence, but I wouldn't let them win. However, my blood was slowly boiling as I tried to block their words out. My papers were still lying on the desk in my office, calling and begging for my attention. The same papers that I had finally decided to work on after many days of struggle.I took in a deep breath and opened my eyes to face the men who were now directing their attention to my beta. I didn't want to lose patience with them and unleash the harsh side of me, but these men were constantly pushing me to the wall. I began to wonder if all these requests they had been making from me for a while were all part of a bigger plan. With them, it seemed like it was one issue after another.There was always a problem with my rule that they needed to tackle, and it was really annoying. They couldn't even consider the fact that everyone was sti
DONALD I couldn't help but stare at my uncle in amazement. Prior to this, I had always thought the man had my back. Even though we didn't have the best of relationships, we were cordial to each other. I had basically passed through my teenage and adult years in his presence, so I assumed that created a bond between the both of us. I vividly remembered the small, nice moments we shared in the last year. Becisee of that, it hurt and shocked me to see that he was constantly castigating me. In helplessness, I turned to Ray who was looking at him too with an annoyed expression. Meanwhile, my uncle just returned my stare with a question written on his face. If I didn't know better, o would have said he knew about the situation between Julie and I. However, that wasn't possible as he had never seen or heard about her in the house, apart from the regul
DONALD "Geraldine why are you still here? Julie will be alright, she can take care of herself," I resonded quickly, hoping the woman would get the message and leave me alone. I had bigger issues to deal with than Julie's fainting episodes. After all, it was a sign pregnant ladies often exhibited. "I'm not sure about that, Alpha. She hasn't been eating for a while, and she is always stressed. I think the pack doctor needs to check her, and know what's wrong. She's pregnant with yo…" "Don't finish that statement, Geraldine. I have other things to do instead of calling the poor man to come and check on Julie. Whatever happens to her should happen. I'm about to become very busy now, and I would not like to be disturbed," I said and made my hand to shoo the woman away, closing my eyes in annoynace.
DonaldI was turning to concentrate on the numerous papers and files on my desk when someone knocked. The first thing in my mind was to shout and order the person to leave, as I didn't want to be dustrubed by yet another meeting. But, I calmed myself and told whoever it was to come inside. It turned out to be a guard who only wanted to inform me that the Pack doctor had arrived. My breath hitched in my throat at that moment, and I quickly dismissed him with an order to tell her I was on my way.I still couldn't believer I had actually done this: calling the pack doctor because of Julie. This singular act could sabotage my rule in the pack, yet I went through with it. I blamed Geraldine and her manner of approach, the woman had always known how to get my weak spots. Even before the doctor arrived, she had come back to my office to inf
DONALDI shook my head and frowned at her immediately. Once again, I was trapped by her charms and I instantly turned to go. Yet, I found that I couldn't. Even though she was unconscious, Julie needed me. At that moment, she moved and placed her hand on her stomach as her eyes remained closed. At that, I turned away from her and shook my head. No matter how much I cared about her, she was carrying another man's child.Another man was responsible for the way she felt right now, not me. It annoyed me that this person wasn't here to see what she was passing through, and be by her side. Instead, she and whoever it was had relinquished the role to me, and I still foolishly took care of her. I sighed and walked towards where she lay, staring at her face for some seconds. Even with the stress she was going through, she remained beautiful.I couldn't resist the urge to touch her face, and I reached out a hand to her hair and smoothed it towards the back. Afterwards, I smiled softly and leaned
JULIE Now, I wondered if there would be any chance for reconciliation. Just as I was about to touch his hands and apologize for everything I had said, Donald cleared his throat and moved away from me. He ran his hands through his hair and began to pace along the length of the room, stopping once to stare at me before continuing his walk. It was distracting, and I knew he wouldn't be doing that unless he was feeling worried about something. I frowned slightly as he continued to move up and down, and after a moment of looking at him, I became queasy and held out a hand. "Donald, what's wrong? Why are you pacing back and forth? Is there a problem?" What he was doing was making me feel dizzy, but I didn't want to worry him further. Finally, he stopped and looked at me. There was a disturbing look in his eyes, and before he op
The air was fresh and scented like hope and promises of a very beautiful night. The warm breeze of that evening flowed through the curtains of the expensive restaurant they had picked for their vacation , outside the moon shined bright and full with it rays piercing through the cloudless sky. It was a perfect night for the two lovers who walked hand in hand illuminated by the lights of that beautiful night . Julie looked more beautiful than the night , adoring herself in a long floral violet dress . As they walked into the restaurant they searched around for their names on a table they had booked earlier for that occasion . The table where they both sat bore roses in a vintage vase and was covered with white beautiful french linen . A young couple aseated a stone throw from their table appeared to draw Donald attention and having noticed that he was far gone and lost in thought Julie was prompted to ask Donald what the reason was for his sudden distraction .
Epilogue ll*Donald* No matter how eventful that day went, it was finally over. Aurelia was dead finally, she was burnt and her remain had been emptied into the wind. She was dead and gone, gone for good, going from everyone's lives but will remain forever in our thoughts, we must admit. We all walked back home in tense awkward silence, I glanced over at Julie and when she caught me staring a while later she gave me an inquisitive gaze. Dinner that night was a well-made steak, we both took our time to cut each piece and enjoy the savoury taste of the best meal we've had in the last three days. After the meal, I helped Julie put the twins to bed they were growing pretty fast most especially Charlie who had howled for the first time that day, the twins were beautiful in their sleep and as we watched them Julie rested her head on my shoulder as we both smiled. " I will be in the pent room. " I whispered as I gave her a wink. After taking a cold long shower, I brou
Epilogue.Julie smiled as Donald's fingers curled her hand in his, the warmth was satisfying as ever. Everything was just in place, her little pumpkin was one year old. Feels as dreamy as ever, it wasn’t all perfect but they made it work. It had been all of a year. It was a beautiful evening, flakes of snow fell lightly. The party was as incredible as they plan, anything to make them happy. Julie watched Sharon play with the kids while Donald went on to have a chat with Ray.“Can’t believe it, they grow pretty fast?” Julie said to Sharon as she picked a glass of Wine.“I know right!” Sharon grinned and rubbed her belly, “ and this little one right here…""Yea that little nugget,” Julie said quickly before Sharon could finish. “Can’t wait to be its godmother.” They both giggled and hugged.“I can’t believe I’m having a baby too.”“Yea.. no worries sweetie, I'll be just right here through it all.” Julie gave a warm smile and cupped Sharon’s face."I know right,” Sharon squeezed her
*Donald* Aurelia was bounded in chains, and kept in a cage, while we traveled back to Villeyfield. She strained upon the chains, trying to cut them lose, but it was all to no avail . At times she would Cuss, and hoping to rouse pity, she would burst into tears, sadly no one paid attention. She kept quiet as the pack travelled in the woods. When I passed the cage later, she had reached for my shirt and begged for mercy ,deep down I felt pity for her; as she was once my wife, but after what she had just done I was quick to decide she needed no mercy. At least not mine. It took longer to get to Villeyfield, as many of those wounded in the park had to be cared for. Julie took her time going round and,offering help to who ever needed it , Sharon was of great help as well. Aurelia knew what was coming to her , she knew she would be put on a trial, and made to hang if found guilty. She was scared of this fate, but there was nothing she could do now to turn back the hands of time, it was
CHAPTER 125 *Donald* Everyone in the room had changed into their wolf form and st the signal from Aurelia they attacked. Julie ran toward her again and took a big leap in the air but was attacked mid air by one of Aurelia packs , I was distracted by that and didn't see when one her men hit me across the face with his fist , as I feel to the ground spitting out blood I looked up and came face to face with a man way taller and bigger than I was . He picked me off the ground like a piece of paper and started tossing me around then he tried strangling me ,just about the time I was about losing consciousness I saw Ray turning toward him from the corner of my eyes . Ray hit with his fist till he got distracted and I was able to free myself from his grips , Ray and myself took different turns him and tearing him with our claws , he caught Ray and fling him across the room and as he turned toward me I was able to blow out the dust in my palm into his eyes . That was enough di
*Aurelia*The twins had been a trouble to me since I kidnapped them, I laughed to myself again after remembering how easy it was the day I had abducted them, I thought about how I had deceived the whole of Valleyfield pack with the little fuss that night and made away with the twins while everyone was distracted and no one was looking, I had written the letter my self earlier that day and while I kidnapping the twins one my most trusted guards was at Donald home dropping the letter. It was a perfect plan well carried out. The fact one of the twins looked like Donald a lot made me angrier but no matter how crazy I was at their parents or how mad the twins made me each time they cried I could not bring myself to cause harm to them, all I wanted was their mother dead, then I would go back to Donald and wait for a while before coming with an idea to bring the twins back. I had not expected Donald or his pack to find me or know I was the one behind the kidnap, deep in my mind I w
*Donald*When I saw Julie with a letter I didn't know what to expect, as I held the thin paper in my hands."Could this be a clue?" I thought to myself."Could this be those that abducted my boys asking for a ransom?" A lot of questions were running through my mind as I read the letter with trembling fingers, As read through the letter word by word, reading through the threats and conditions I could swear something was familiar with the letter, the way it was written but I couldn't quite figure it out and so I read it again and again and again till..." That daughter of a bitch !" I cussed.I knew who it was with the way the letter "R " was curved at the edges here and there and the excessive use of uppercase letters, only one person could that and that was my ex-wife " Aurelia "." Why would she do something like this? ""What audacity! " I was raging Julie must have seen my reaction and I could see her eyes lit with a glitter of hope." Do you know who that is?" She asked."Do yo
*Julie* I could see his lips tremble, I had never seen Donald this scared, confused and uncoordinated in a long while, It was so intense that as he walked toward me I could sense every bit of emotions eating him up all summing up to fear, a deep dark fear. " Julie! " he murmured as his voice cracked. That was far as he could say before his voice was betrayed by all these penned emotions as he broke into a brief sob he tried so hard to mumble with his fists. "I am so sorry I could not protect them " Donald whispered As he cradled my head against his chest, I could hear his heart beating fast, I had meant to tell him it wasn't his fault the boys were kidnapped but I was overwhelmed by deep sorry also and could do nothing than drench his shirt with my tears. When the guards Ray had sent earlier came back with no single traces of the twins or their whereabouts Donald's mood switched immediately to one I was more familiar with. He was furious at himself and when there was not
*Donald* As I stood by my best friend Ray and two other men that must have belonged to the highly ranked family of the pack as both were dressed quite expensively, we all sipped a locally brewed wine chatting and laughing about the recent happenings and commenting on other things including women, initially I had turned down the offer of alcohol but remembering how angry Julie must have been right now about the party, I had to drink to take my mind off it and whatever might come up later at the same time I controlled what I drank because I was watching over the twins, one of the twins was awake as he chuckled and clasp my pinky finger, suckling at it.Ray mentioned that one of the twins looked a lot like me and the two men agreed and cheered aloud waking the other twin they were drunk, I shushed them as I rocked the Colt side to side trying to put them back to sleep, as my mind wandered back to the party.Truly, I never liked parties or social events being a private person but t
