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: He called me several times after that, but I didn’t pick up. Then, I felt like I couldn’t just abandon him after giving him hope, so I answered his call again.“I can’t believe this. How could you back down from your plan?” he yelled, his voice breathy and angry.“Theo, calm down,” I uttered, worried about his health, but he shushed me.“Forget calming down. Do you think you could stay calm if I had backstabbed you like that?” he was taking it entirely the wrong way.“I’m not saying I’m going to help Sawyer kill more people. I just want to know a few things. Please give me some time. I’ll tell you everything I know. But I cannot let the council know about it yet. I cannot--give the evidence against Sawyer,” I closed my eyes, “I believe he’s misunderstood, and there’s more--”He cut me off with his statement, “More to kill? Because that’s what he does. If you’re waiting for him to kill more people and then you’ll open your eyes, then I must say, you’re selfish. He must have pr
Carena:“Please don’t hate me forever. I know I messed up. But I swear, I had no idea she would just lose the pet,” she said, turning to me and holding my hands to make me look at her."What?" I asked her, looking directly into her eyes, challenging her to repeat her statement."Carena, we were going to return Paco. We just wanted to mess with you a little. I swear, I don’t know how, but she somehow lost Paco, and he ran away," she explained, her eyes showing that she wasn’t lying. But that didn’t matter. How on earth did she let Ashley fool her so easily?I pulled my hands away and glared at her angrily. “She didn’t just lose that poor baby. She killed him, Payton. You two hated me so much for no reason that you threatened a poor pet’s life?” I stood up, raising my voice.“I know we messed up. But I swear I didn’t know she would kill him. She promised she would return the pet,” she said, looking shocked and probably telling the truth. But did it matter anymore?Why would she take par
Carena:"There’s no way. He’s not even in the pack," I laughed at myself while trying to reason with Theodore. He must be lying to me or trying to get a reaction out of me. He wanted those lists and videos, he could be using this lie to make me get emotional and hand him over the evidence."I don’t know. He and Ashley were on their honeymoon when she died in the woods. Do you still believe his words?" he hissed, and I could hear the warriors around him.“Yeah, but that doesn't mean—,” I felt my throat getting dry. Sawyer had told me he chose me over the ritual then why?Could it be true?"We have to take the body away," the warrior told Theo, just like in the old days, about removing the dead body from the scene."What happened? Why are you so silent? Or do you not care anymore because the people dying aren't your loved ones?" I clenched my fists at his mockery of me.I wasn’t a selfish person. I just didn’t want to go to the council and accuse someone who was only a small part of a b
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
