After that, Desmond made an arrangement to finally introduce Hazel's twins, Hezekiah and Harolyn to us.I saw how Desmond was still in denial that he was the twins' father. It was as if... he was denying them.I must speak to him. I knew that I couldn't trust him anymore but if the hesitation he was feeling was because of me, then he must halt it."Mama, Papa still loves me even if he has other kids from the woman he got pregnant, right?" Sander asked when he asked me to sleep beside him."Of course, Papa still loves you, Sander." I kissed his forehead. "You witness how he never failed to tend to your needs, right?" He was being hands-on when it came to Sander. Desmond was still the same, not faltering his father's duties to our son."Hmm..." Sander nodded before his eyes laid on my stomach. I was near my second-month pregnancy. "Papa looks more devastated than before but he only calms down when he is with us, Mama. Do you... notice it?" I didn't answer him. He placed his ear on my st
I felt Hazel's presence when she settled beside me after the morning meal. Our pups were playing in Luna's Garden while Desmond and Harvey had to settle in the northern borders. "They are looking great, right?" she said in a whisper. I didn't answer her when she looked at my stomach growing. "Congratulations, Luna." Her tone sounded like she really didn't want to congratulate me."Thanks." I sounded like I also didn't want to say that."You see..." I glanced at her. "You should have not returned. You ruined my plans for my twins. I have been trying so hard to coax Alpha Desmond to accept them but you ruined everything." She smiled bitterly.This bitch..."How did I ruin everything? Shouldn't you suppose to thank me because if I did not speak with Desmond, until now, you wouldn't even dare to meet your twins with him?" How dare this bitch accuse me of something that I did not do?Hazel snorted. "Alpha Desmond is better off with you.""Says who? You?" I smirked. "Desmond chose me, not y
I gasped at his command. Ah, shit. I was sure I was going to regret this tomorrow.I stood up and let my chemise fall to the floor. Desmond inhaled sharply as soon as he saw my naked body. His eyes sparkled with lust as he couldn't help himself cupping my breast, which irked me."Beautiful..." he said dreamily when his hand stayed on my stomach. I purred when he gently caressed it as his expression softened. "Come, seraphim," he said softly as he guided me to straddle him."Don't you feel disgusted seeing my stretch marks?" I couldn't help but ask when Desmond kept admiring my stomach.He creased his forehead. "Why would I?" His expression looked annoyed and at the same time aroused. "Did you ever see me feeling disgusted? I even worshipped you more." He held my face. "We may be divorced but you are still my mate, Seraphina. You are the mother of my pups and I will always love you even if you say you do not love me anymore."My heart had been swayed at his words. That included my wolf
"Marry you again?" I parroted, feeling my blood boil. I couldn't help standing up from this madness Desmond had thought again.He arched his eyebrow. "You said that you are prepared for the consequences. Then, this is it. You are going to marry me again." There was a condescending smile written on his lips.It was as if he already knew that I was going to initiate sex from him. He was well aware of my pregnancy hormones..."No," I said in a determined tone before I started picking up my clothes and dressed up."Seraphina, whether you like it or not, you are going to marry me again!" He roughly yanked my arm, meeting his darkened face.I scoffed. How dare... "In our agreement of divorcing our marriage, you promised that you are not going to scheme on me again, Desmond!" I clenched my hands. "What is this that you are forcing me to marry you again?" I yanked my arm back before I slapped his face. "You never change!""Seraphina, this is the only way that we can reconcile—"Before he coul
DesmondMy hands were fidgeting right now as Anderson had taken care of the unconscious Seraphina. I was forced to leave the room as I kept pacing back and forth.Seraphina... She was bleeding...This was my fault... This was my fault again..."If something happens to them, I am not going to forgive myself..." I cursed myself, clutching my hair in distress.I hurt her again... I hurt her again...How many times did I have to hurt her again? I... I had never done something to make her happy since she was here back in my pack.Damn it! Where did I go wrong?I clutched my chest, wondering where it all started. At that moment, I realized where it was.The time I slept with Hazel..."It's my fault..." I said mindlessly as I slowly slumped to the floor, feeling more guilty than ever."Papa! Papa! What happened to Mama?"I felt myself being shaken by someone. Glistening in tears, I looked up and sniffed the scent of my son."Sander..." I didn't wait for my son as I hugged him so tight. I cou
Desmond"My apologies, Alpha Desmond, but Lady Seraphina does not want to see you."My heart dropped upon hearing that from Anderson. "S-She doesn't want to see m-me?" I even pointed at myself.Anderson released a sigh. "Alpha, she is well aware that you are the triggering factor for her almost miscarriage. Please allow her to rest." I could tell that Seraphina had asked him a favor.'She... really hates me, right?' I asked him through mind-linked. Anderson hesitantly nodded.'I am sorry, Alpha. Also, it is really best for her not to see you know that you are the cause of why she is bleeding in the first place.' He smiled sadly at me. 'She said that you have never been good to her in the first place.'I could have sworn my heart fell out from my chest to hit the floor. Seraphina's words were truly heartbreaking. It was equally painful when she rejected our mate bond before she absconded.I was forced to smile. "I see... I shall try again to see her next time." My wolf was already howl
Desmond"What?" I couldn't believe that my son was negotiating with me by... staying away from his mother.Sander exhaled sharply and smiled emptily. "Papa, I am not naive to know that you are the one who caused Mama to bleed. Mama almost lost my baby sibling. The only plausible cause is you, Papa." His tone sounded cold. "This is not the only moment you have hurt Mama. This time, I am not going to turn a blind eye."The way my son spoke was the same as mine when I was going to turn the tables. It was frightening that Sander was really my son.Was this what Seraphina was getting frightened of? I had turned my son to be like this?"I have been patient with your actions, Papa, to be honest. I am hoping that you will have some character development however, in the end, Mama is still hurting by your actions. You are not good for her."I was silent, and couldn't defend myself from what my son proclaimed. It was as if what he was spouting right now were the things I needed to hear."That is
Desmond"I want to move to Elian."Seraphina didn't waste any time when she told me that she wished to speak with me in my renovated study room after a few days of recuperating in the infirmary.Also, I changed the location of my study room and made my previous room a storage room.Seraphina had been feeling uncomfortable going to my previous study room, so I decided to renovate it and make it a storage room. I knew that it reminded her of my infidelity years ago.Sander was right. Seraphina was going to tell me that she wanted to go to Elian... to the vacation house I built for her.My heart was constricted right now with what Seraphina said. And the way she was looking at me with pure coldness was enough to hurt my wolf right now."Is this... for certain?" I felt a huge lump in my throat right now, asking for that. How much more if I decided to agree with it?And I had to follow Sander's unilateral agreement. If I love my mate, I must let her go now. That was what Sander had been te
