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
Desmond"Are you not going to see them off, Alpha?"I raised my glance when Harvey asked. Oakley was taking care of seeing Seraphina and Sander right now.Today was the day my mate and my son would be going to Elian without me. I decided not to see them off."There is no need for me to see them off. I would be seeing them every Saturday. Plus, Sander would be staying here for four days," I answered him coldly.Honestly, I wanted to see them off. But I halted myself. If I see them off, I might not be able to halt myself once I ordered that they would stay in my pack without my permission.Seraphina would call me selfish and might have a miscarriage this time. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if that happens.Additionally, Sander would take some measures that would finally separate us. Knowing my son, he would do anything to protect his Mama.Oakley entered and informed me that they already dispatched the carriage. "Young Master Sander said that he would come back after three days.
DesmondJust as we talked about, I was staying in Verlice's vacation house to be my son's mentor while still doing my Alpha duties. Right now, I was sparring with Sander with the wooden sword."Is that the best you can do, Sander?" I mocked my son when he was attacking me by calculating my movements. "You are boasting that you can defeat me but I do not see a good result."Sander frowned, annoyed at my remarks. But he did not let himself be distracted by how I was ridiculing him. In fact, he was focusing more on how to counterattack me.Sander was excellent at dwelling on the wooden sword. It would be a matter of time before he would be holding a real sword soon.To finish this sparring, I made a dirty tactic by tripping him with my foot. Sander fell to the ground and glared at me. "That is so unfair, Papa!" He looked frustrated and was near to bursting tears.I chuckled and winced his hair. "This is not always about how well you can hold your sword, son. You must think on the battlef
DesmondAfter several days, Seraphina experienced contractions in the middle of the night. It was a good thing that Anderson had been staying here before last week."Why can't I go in? I want to be by Seraphina's side!" I demanded the servants to open the door for me while Seraphina was in labor. "Seraphina, please! Allow me to be with you!"I paced back and forth while Sander was looking at me, worried.I begged again, wanting to be by her side. I could hear Seraphina's groans in her chamber.I mustered up my courage when I heard her screams again. "Do let me in! I am the father of our second pup!" I ordered and growled at the servants who dared to halt me."Y-Yes, my lord.""Seraphina!" I scurried to be by her side as she was covered with sweat."Desmond..." She was panting when I held her hand. I squeezed it to tell her that I would always be by her side."I'm here, seraphim..." I said softly, caressing her wet hair. I kissed her forehead and looked at her with a gentle gaze. "Your
Desmond"Papa, Papa, look!"I snapped back to reality when Hezekiah tugged my hand and showed me that he earned a high score from studying. I winced at his hair. "That is good to know, Hezekiah. Wonderful..."Hezekiah beamed. "Thank you, Papa." With that, he went outside of my study room, jumping with joy.Before the door was closed, Hazel came in with a tray of snacks in her hands. "I have brought you something, Alpha."I grimaced. "Did I even tell you to come here, Hazel?" My voice boomed all over the manor as I slammed my desk.Hazel looked surprised and frightened before she chuckled nervously. "Come on... Just some snacks, no?" She even dared to place the tray on my desk. Then she went behind me and massaged my shoulders. "No one's going to take care of you, Alpha. I am here. I can handle the wife's chores."I secretly gritted my teeth when she whispered at me with a sensual tone. "Get your hands off me before I shall break them," I threatened her with a growl.Hazel scoffed, ste
DesmondShe nodded."You are lying," I growled, feeling insulted. "Seraphina has no relatives nor even has a sister. Her father is dead."Who was this woman? Really.Her aura screamed that she looked powerful and looked like from the highest military rank based on the medal of honor she had in her military uniform.She scoffed. "I am actually her half-sister from the mother's side. Her older sister actually. And I know that you were Sicilia's ex-husband and mate."I creased my forehead with the way she uttered Seraphina's name. "Sicilia? That is not her name. Her name is—""Seraphina Beryl, yes, I know that. Sicilia is just Seraphina's other name," she said in a beaming tone.That made me bewilderment. Sicilia... I didn't know why but that made me shiver down my spine. It felt like that name sounded... mystical for some reason."Where is she then? Why are you even here? And who are you really?" I hated repeating myself but it looked like she was diverting the topic."Love, I have take
DesmondI scoffed, not believing in her. "What the hell are you talking about? Only the Moon Goddess is what I considered the only deity that exists."She is the Goddess of the Universe and the Werewolves."Are you saying that Seraphina is half-human, half-deity? That's impossible! She's one of the daughters of the Moon Goddess? Don't kid me here!" I growled, annoyed that she was even uttering some useless shits. "Return them to me now!" I demanded."If this shall be a joke to you, why would your Alpha King be here as well?" That made me glance at Alpha King Azarius who was staying in the corner with him crossing his arms over his chest and leaning against the wall. "All the royal lycan family are well aware of the existence of the spirit goddesses. It is a prophecy that has been passed down through generations. As the Moon Goddess' daughters, we are called spirit goddesses whose mission is to witness the creation of our mother."She even said that Sicilia was Seraphina's deity name w
I finished dressing up Saoirse, smiling. "Look at my little Saoirse. Isn't she adorable?" I said as I put her down on the floor. I watched her walking on her own already while she was giggling."Mama! Mama!" The door busted open revealing Sander in his new clothes. "Papa sent a letter, Mama! Look! Look! The insignia of the House of Verlice!" he beamed. His face brightened when he walked toward me. "Auntie Rachelle bestowed it to me after I am done training with Cloudy."My heart leaped out of my ribcage upon hearing that. I took the letter from him and saw the crest of the House of Verlice. The crest was the shield and in the center of it were the three heads of the wolf with vines protecting the edge of the shield.The House of Verlice was one of the 'shields' of the de Carteret royal Lycan family of the Sowinski Kingdom. If one's noble household became one of the 'shields', it meant that you were bound to protect all the members of the royal lycan family.There were other noble hous
