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
DONALDIf only she had allowed me to explain myself properly, I could have told her that I didn't really plan to kill her people. Even though the rogues didn't mean much to me, I also didn't plan to hurt them. The pack elders had no right to tell me what to do, especially if I didn't have any plans of doing it.I ran my hands through my hair and sighed loudly. I couldn't even understand why I suddenly shouted about it to her. Like always, my anger had gotten the best of me and I said things I didn't mean. Now, she probably saw me as a mean person who didn't care about her. All I really meant to do was threaten her and not make her believe it was real.At the same time, it wasn't understandable to me why I was still defending her. I tried to be angry at her, and let her do whatever she wished, but my heart wouldn't let me. If I
DonaldIt was very obvious to myself and Ray that I didn't buy the idea of getting married to Aurelia. First, it was too sudden and secondly, I wasn't sure I still wanted to do it. Even though I had made a lot of mistakes in the past, getting married to the wrong person was not one I wanted to make. It would eventually spell bad luck for me, and getting out of a marriage was always easier than getting into one.However, there was no other option in my mind and my beta was aware of that. He focused his full attention on me as I sat thinking about it. If I didn't find a way to distract the pack elders, they would come for me and I wasn't so sure I could bear killing the rogues. No matter how much I denied, I couldn't decide between the fate of my mate's friends or my position in the pack.It made me feel foolish, but at the same time, I knew that was how the mate bond worked. It made people do crazy things, and here I was, contemplating a very risky
JulieI groaned in pain as the darkness began to fade away. My current situation seemed so familiar and I knew that it was because I had fainted again. I tried to sigh, but no sound came out as I slowly drifted back into consciousness. Internally, I began to wonder if fainting epsiodes would now be the new norm for me. It was not one I appreciated much, but considering that it was essential for my pup to remain healthy, I gladly welcomed it.Slowly, I opened my eyes, shivering from the sudden cold I felt. Instinctively, I touched my body and opened my eyes in shock when I felt myself touching bare skin. Where had my clothes gone? I asked myself as I tried to sit up and fumble for my clothes. I blinked my eyes again as my sight adjusted to the bright light in the room, and I realized that some of my clothes were still on my body, while others lay on the ground beside me.I was just about to complain when I noticed Geraldine sitting beside me. Immedi
DonaldI sighed and leaned back in my chair, slowly counting to ten as I stared at the workload at the top of my desk. The papers had significantly reduced, but there was still work to be done and I had resigned myself to staying in the office till everything was completed. I needed to finish this, do I could concentrate on the task on hand: getting married to Aurelia.Even hours after the pack elders and I had decided to do it first, it still seemed wrong to me. It felt like I was selling my freedom and sanity to those men over a couple of rogues that I cared nothing about. As I closed my eyes, I began to wonder how nice it could be if my mate was not a rogue, but just a regular girl. We could be living happily right now, and..."Donald? Your ten second break is over. Get back to work," I suddenly heard my beta say, and when I reluctantly opened my eyes, he was standing beside me with a frown on his face. I shook my head and muttered a thanks, as
JulieI looked away from my mate, staring out the window as I pretended not to be aware of his presence. Truthfully, I was delighted to see him, even a little more than the realization that I was now an official member of the Villeyfield Pack. I never expected that I would be in this position one day, and I couldn't help the feeling of guilt that overwhelmed me. I had nearly destroyed the pack of my family, and I wasn't sure I could look my mate in the face again.However, I was also happy that my position had been affirmed in the pack. It meant that none of them could execute me, because it appeared that I held a very high position in the pack. While I didn't know much about regular wolf packs, I had the idea that by virtue of my lineage, I was exempted from any punishment those elders had meted out for me.After some moments of more thinking, I looked over to Donald who had now mirrored my position and was staring out the window. He looked like h
Donald I stormed out of Julie's room with blood boiling in my veins and my head throbbing. I didn't know what else to do about the issues between my mate and I. While I was happy that she was soon going to be an official member of the pack, I couldn't help the pain that engulfed my bodyband heart. It was still hard to believe that Julie came into my house with another man's pup and she pretended to love me. I couldn't help but wonder if she was actually playing with my feelings. I was in so much pain, and in the middle of the hallway, I fisted my hands and punched the wall. It made a loud sound, but it wasn't hard enough to inflict any pain in me. Even if it did, it couldn't be compared to the internal pain I was feeling. Once again, Julie had dashed my hopes as I had believed she would tell me that the child was mine and she was just angry that day. I didn't expect her to stick to the claims that the child wasn't mine. I was torn between leaving her alone and taking her out of the
Donald I looked at Ray as the pack elders shook their heads again. Like the three other times I had informed them about Julie's status, they were disbelieving. They didn't want to hear that the leader of the rogues was actually the former Alpha daughter, however, it was important for me to deal with this and get them to see my point. Because of this, I straightened myself and used another means of approach to get through to them. "Elders, I assume that you all trust my word, especially on matters like this. Like I've said earlier, my beta and I have been able to prove that Julie is one of us. I believe that the law states that she should be forgiven for her crimes." I paused and gauged their reactions before I continued. "However, I know that this won't be easy to do, considering how much she had threatened the fate of our pack. That's why I ask for your mercy." Immediately I finished talking, Ray took over. "Elders, it was not easy to arrive at this decision as well, as we understa
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
