Sawyer:“You know, I used to think you would choose Carena over me,” Ashley giggled, dancing with her shoulders. I nodded my head, sighing while looking out the window. She was so happy to go on this honeymoon. Well, what can I do?This was supposed to happen.“But then I should have known that a fated mate is more precious than anything,” she continued to babble on without having any idea what a special honeymoon I have planned for her. But I guess a surprise would be good for her.And meanwhile, I began to dream about Carena. One day, she and I will be alone together. There will be no Ashley or anyone else to bother us.“Ahh!” I sighed and rubbed my face in my hands.I knew my dad would be safely kept in the basement, but I have to hide him sometimes. He cannot be seen.That asshole should not be seen.But then, who was I? I was still doing what he started. My head turned to Ashley, and a smirk played on my lips. I was glad she didn’t see it. She must not know why I brought her here
Carena:I had been gone for I don’t even know how long. But I could tell I was in the hospital because I would wake up for a few minutes and then pass out again. I lost track of the days too. But I guess I am finally up now.But whenever I closed my eyes, the scene from that night would pop up before my memory. Then, I remembered bits and pieces of what had happened before that. But mostly, I stayed asleep until today.I was feeling a weird burst of energy. Like I no longer wanted to stay sleeping.“She’s waking up,” I heard a woman’s unfamiliar voice announce. I noticed I was hooked up to a bunch of machines. My body was in pain too, but I could look at my hands and tell I had healed pretty well. Just the cannula in the back of my hand was irritating me.A bald man walked in wearing a stethoscope and started checking my body. In the meantime, Sawyer rushed in and shocked me. The minute my eyes landed on him, they got bigger, and he stopped. Soon, he faded away with the people coming
Carena: I had been crying for hours. Thankfully, nobody tested my patience, and Lady Jane had kicked her son out to let me rest. But I could no longer rest. My head was hurting so much, and I kept remembering what the other doctor from the Red Raven pack had told me.“I will never get pregnant again,” I muttered, ready to have another meltdown after a few hours.“Don’t say it like that,” Yamin reached for me and held my hand. Now it was just the two of us.“The doctors told me I shouldn’t be losing babies--” I didn’t even want to call it an abortion. It was a disaster that would now ruin my life for sure.“I had an abortion before, Yamin, and the fact that I was told I would never get pregnant. I still got pregnant, but now I lost my baby again. Can you imagine the damage that has been caused to me?” I was crying, and she was watching me with tears in her eyes.“Don’t say it. My mother has lost so many babies. We are werewolves, we heal again. Besides, just like you said, you were to
Carena: “I will bring you fruits in two hours,” Janine had been doing so much to take care of me. Not only her, but Payton and Lady Jane were all over me too.“I’m really full though,” I replied, but they were feeding me until I was so full that I couldn’t even move. It had only been three days, and I wanted to sit and go through the evidence again. My phone had been losing charge because I wasn’t charging it much. I was mostly resting.“Lady Jane ordered--” The minute Janine said her name, she walked in.“You can go. I will speak to her,” Lady Jane said, and Janine walked out, leaving the two of us behind.“Hi,” I sat up in the bed, keeping my phone under my pillow. Ever since I woke up, I’ve been worried about losing my phone. It had all the evidence against Sawyer; I wouldn’t want to lose it for anything.“I have been meaning to talk with you for a while,” she started, using a general tone. But her body language told me she was worried about something.“What is it?” Giving her a s
Carena:“What?” I already knew it, but to hear him say it to my face without any concern or fear of losing me was like a nail in the coffin.“You heard me. You heard me now and that night too. So why are you asking me all these questions now?” The coldness in his voice upset me deeply. One would think someone would at least be worried about how their mate would perceive them. But not him.He was too cocky to admit he was wrong.“Fine. Then I think you already know what I will do,” I said, and an expression formed on his face.I tried to get out of bed when he grabbed my hand to stop me.“Let me go,” I raised my voice, but he dropped me onto the bed, getting on top of me. He started to pin my hands to the side while I struggled to get him off me.“You are not leaving me,” he finally trapped me and brought his face down, demanding.“Huh! Why do you care? You don’t. You are so cold--you think what you’re doing is right? And you think I will not leave you?” I was on the verge of crying wh
Carena: I held Sawyer by the hand and led him to the bed myself. I know I had promised I wouldn't sleep with him, but my thoughts have changed now.Previously, I thought he was this cold-hearted beast who enjoyed watching people endure pain and that he was killing innocent people for the sake of mortality. But the reality turned out to be far darker than I had imagined.“Hush! I am with you,” I said to him, caressing his cheek and lying on top of him.He seemed like such a lost puppy lying under me. I had my arms folded over his chest, my chin resting on the back of my hands as I watched him stare at the ceiling.“Why didn't you come to me all these days?” I wondered why he didn’t stubbornly show up like he usually does.“I knew you were getting angry seeing me. I knew you wouldn't want to see my face since it was fear of me that made you run upstairs like that. So I was avoiding annoying you and hurting you with my presence. In fact, I even thought about--,” he suddenly stopped, but
Carena: It’s been two days, and things were finally getting better. I was helping Sawyer stay calm and doing everything I could to bring positivity into his life.I had high hopes. He would never back down from the promise he made to me. He was going to try and avoid killing people. I bet it was his father who had made him believe in that stupid ritual.Once he misses a few days, he will finally be over it. He’ll realize whatever his father said was a lie. And whoever is inside him isn’t his father, but rather a disease. I’ve convinced him that we should see a doctor, and after many refusals, he finally agreed.“Goodnight,” I told Lady Jane, waving my hand at her. I was heading to my room when I found Payton standing in the hallway with her phone in hand.“Carena! May I have a word with you?” she insisted, walking right behind me.“What happened?” I asked her, taking a stroll toward my room.“I’ve decided to let go of the past and not hold any grudges against anyone. I even spoke to
Carena:He threw me against the table, bending me over it and pulled my panties down. I was already so wet that I was going to get crazy when he slid inside me. My back arched as he positioned himself behind me and rubbed the head of his cock against my vagina.“Arhhhhh!” a moan escaped my lips, my neck stretched back when Sawyer grasped my hair in his fist.His first thrust slipped his dick in me, my wet pussy helped in the access. I groaned in pleasure as he started to fuck me mercilessly on the table.Every move in and out of me by him caused my eyes to roll back in my head. He made me lift my body just a little so that he could brutally pull my dress down and expose my breasts, cupping my breasts in his firm hands while he increased the speed inside me.I closed my eyes, feeling his hard dick inside.His hands massaged my breasts, pinching my nipples while speeding up more with every second.“AHHH SAWYER!” I let out a cry when his cock started to swell inside me. The pleasure alwa
Carena: “I have put them to bed; we’re all set,” Sawyer announced, his shirt disheveled before he quickly straightened it, though he didn’t roll down his sleeves.I gave him a smile and got up from my seat to welcome him. He took the main chair, and I sat down beside him, wearing a beautiful red dress.“You are the best father and husband,” I whispered, leaning over to kiss his cheek while the maid served us food.“You two need to get a room,” Ronan joked, making us smile and turn to him. He looked so happy with Yamin. The two had welcomed twins--a baby girl and a baby boy--last year.“And my brother is truly proving himself to be a good role model too,” Payton added proudly.Lady Jane smiled at her sons, delighted with their perfect lives.“And Payton is taking good care of business,” Louis grinned at her, giving her a wink. I knew something was brewing between the two, and they had recently opened up about it. They were set to get married in two months.I didn’t think there could b
Carena:“What do you mean?” My heart revived even more, my grip tightening around my child.“Kelly, don’t fucking make up stories,” Jack yelled, his fists clenched.“I am not. You fool. You really bought my lie about Carena being so powerful to get pregnant already and then giving birth in seven months. Carena didn’t have a proper sense of date and time because there were days she would sleep without waking up for two days. But you, you knew everything. Yet you didn’t question anything?” Kelly smirked at Jack, who was finally hit with the realization.That’s when my baby let out a little cry and opened his eyes. He had the same eyes as Sawyer.“He is my baby?” Sawyer rushed toward me, taking him from my hands and then smiling, “No wonder I felt such a strong connection.”“No! You did not betray me like that,” Jack yelled, rushing to wrap his hands around Kelly’s neck, but Martin raised his legs and kicked him, making Jack drop back like a pathetic weakling.“How dare you--,” it was as
Carena: After I beat him up, Sawyer handed me my baby while he tied the couple to a tree. I was curious about what he was planning to do.“I am so sorry I got you into this mess,” Kelly cried to Martin, the two tied side by side.“No! If I have to do that again, I will do it. All for you,” the guy was hopelessly in love with her but also an idiot for partaking in her crazy schemes.She was a doctor; if she had remained committed to her job, the two would be living a very good life by now.While the two cried and talked, I held my son and smiled with teary eyes. My baby was perfect. There was no way he was Jack’s child. How could such a beautiful baby belong to that monster?“My perfect child,” I cried happily, rocking my baby in my arms. All these months, not once did I hate my child. I had grown so much in love with my baby that I didn’t understand why and how."Why would you want us dead? You already have your baby and your mate by your side now. Don't you have everything already?"
Carena:He was watching me with so many emotions in his eyes. In that moment, Jack and the others decided to flee because they knew they couldn't fight Sawyer.Jack was so frightened that he didn't even wait to grab me. Instead, he just started running after seizing Kelly.“My son--!” I yelled, but before I could get up, I saw Sawyer gesture for me not to go after them.“They cannot escape the woods.”His confidence made me sit back. But what about my son? What if they hurt him?"Sawyer!" I uttered his name as he deepened his stare into my eyes, filled with nothing but love for me."My love!" He knelt down and instantly pulled me into a warm and comforting embrace."No! Don't touch me before you know my truth." It broke my heart that even after our reunion, I had to keep my distance from him.He needed to understand that I had given birth to Jack's child so he could decide whether he still wanted to be with me. It would shatter my heart if he didn't want to stay with me, but I could n
Sawyer:“Ronan, keep your eyes peeled at the border. Make sure your men remain hidden in dugouts around the portal,” I advised him as we marched away from the entrance. Tonight was the Wolf Moon, and after midnight, I knew Jack would arrive with Carena. Certainly, Jack would use Carena to try to lure us away so that he could cross the portal, but I would jump right in with them. That was the plan.“I have informed my guards not to stop them from enticing the bridge, but do let us know when they arrive,” Ronan confirmed. I didn't want to provoke Jack into attacking Carena out of anger. Of course, he would threaten us with her life when he was surrounded by the warriors.“Yamin is taking care of the roads--” Suddenly, Ronan's voice began to fade. My mind started to wander off, and I knew it wasn’t the first time this had happened. I had felt this before, only when someone stepped into my woods--the woods of which I was king.“They are here.”I closed my eyes, focusing on the whispers of
Carena:“AHHHHH!” My screams had deafened me at this point. The pain was unbearable, and being out in the wild was not helping at all. I was worried for my baby and how giving birth in the wilderness would negatively impact everything. Dr. Kelly had asked Jack and Martin to grab some supplies while she assisted me with the delivery.“Just keep going. I know you can do it,” she said, rubbing a damp cloth over my forehead in an attempt to comfort me, but I was far from comfortable. The open air and sky, combined with the fact that my mate was not with me, broke my heart.“Why can’t we go to a hospital?” I asked, letting out heavy breaths, but the pain kept intensifying.“Because Sawyer must have informed all the hospitals and packs about you and Jack,” she replied. “Besides, we are passing through Sawyer’s pack, so--” The minute she said that, goosebumps covered my body. I looked around and noticed the woods. What the hell!We were in the terrifying part of the woods? The crazy and poss
Carena: Jack was shocked to see the old man confronting him. It seemed like Jack had run out of words.“I don’t know what you are--talking about,” Jack tried to sound normal, but none of the words he uttered came out in a confident tone.His hesitation alone gave him a guilty appearance.I had stepped way back from them while Dr. Kelly ensured she stayed with me."I heard it all. You played me only so you could use my kin to escape the werewolf world--the world where you have messed up so much that you can’t even remain in it anymore,” Vincent finally seemed to have caught on to Jack’s scheme.It took him months and many wasted attempts to open his eyes. But what struck me as odd was that Jack steadily fixed his posture and approached him.For someone who had been caught in a lie by his only support, he was remarkably calm.“I think you’re taking this way too seriously. It’s not that grave of a matter,” he placed his hand on Vincent’s shoulder, but Vincent shrugged it off aggressivel
Carena:"What did you just say?" he asked, a harshness in his voice warning me not to say the wrong thing."Jack lied to you. He told me that if he told you the truth, you would kill me and my baby." I gulped, realizing it could be true. I was taking a risk here. If I wasn’t pregnant, I would have found a way to escape the chains and transition. But that was no longer an option."Huh!" He looked rightfully confused. "You are the reason my poor daughter is dead. Sawyer killed her because of you." Now that we were talking, he started revealing what he truly thought of me.The fact that he claimed Sawyer had killed Tabitha proved that Jack had lied to him about many things."That’s not true. Listen--" I took a deep breath, knowing I was about to admit who was really responsible for Tabitha’s death and the deaths of his other children.His expression grew even harsher as he continued to watch me, waiting for an explanation as to why I believed Jack had been lying."Tabitha did cheat on Ja
Carena:I was heavily pregnant and miserable, but I kept going for the sake of my baby and the hope of seeing Sawyer again one day. I just didn’t know how he would react to the fact that my child belonged to someone else.“You shouldn’t starve yourself,” the maid they had hired for me said, causing me to roll my eyes.I didn’t get along with any of these people.They were all enemies of both me and Sawyer, working for that despicable man.“I’m full,” I sighed. “Before you start lecturing me, I had breakfast less than two hours ago,” I scoffed, irritated.She rolled her eyes and left the hut. We had been on the run—or rather, they had kept me on the run—for months.Every time Sawyer got close, they would pack up and flee again. They’d managed to evade him many times by threatening my life, and of course, Sawyer always relented.“Hey,” Jack entered, having taken care of the food and other necessities for the night. He smiled at me.The mattress I sat on was uncomfortable, lacking the fa
