Micheal sighed heavily and turned to his grandmother, who blinked a few times before making a fresh teapot. Bustling over to the cafe door, she stood by it momentarily before turning back to her grandson and shaking her head. “What is it?” Micheal eyed her curiously. “Micheal, you should have gone with her. She's not safe out there,” she told him. He rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. Slowly, he walked over to the counter and poured himself a cup of tea, trying to distract himself from the nagging feeling that he was making a mistake. His grandmother followed him, her eyes fixed on him with a concerned expression. "What's going on out there, Micheal? You know you're not telling me everything," she said, her voice firm but gentle. Micheal sipped his tea, feeling the warm liquid spread through his chest. He knew he couldn't lie to his grandmother, but he didn't want to tell her the truth. He had promised himself he would never get involved in th
“She is not as far away as you think.” Martha's words hung in the air, heavy with weight. Xavier's eyes narrowed, his grip on his jacket tightening. "What do you mean, Martha? You know where Della is?" Martha nodded, “She's been living in a small town at a cafe where she was working." Xavier's face darkened, his anger simmering just below the surface. "And what's she doing there?" Martha's gaze dropped, her voice barely above a whisper. "She's pregnant, Xavier." The air seemed to vibrate with the weight of Martha's words. Xavier's expression didn't change. "Pregnant?" Xavier repeated, his voice low and deadly. Martha nodded again. "Yes, Alpha. She's carrying your child." Xavier's eyes locked onto Martha, his gaze burning with intensity. "How did you know?" he growled. Martha swallowed hard. "I have my ways, Alpha. But I think you should know that Della is... happy. She's found a new home, one that loves and accepts her for who she is." Xavier's face twisted in a mixt
Della pulled into the hotel's parking lot, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. She had been driving for hours, and her body was starting to ache from the long journey. She had no idea how she would afford a room, but she knew she couldn't go back to the cafe. She had to keep moving for herself and her unborn child. Della stepped out of the car and into the pouring rain, shaking her head to clear the water from her eyes. She had been driving for hours, trying to get as far away from Xavier and the rest of her past as possible. She didn't care where she was going, just as long as it was far away. As she looked around, she realised that she was in the middle of nowhere. The only thing in sight was a small hotel, its neon sign reading "Welcome to the Rusty Nail" in bold letters. The building looked like it had been abandoned for years, but a faint light shone in the lobby window. She sighed and pulled her suitcase out of the car. She didn't care about the hotel's appearance
“Xavier? What is going on?” Anna stood with one hand on her hip and a frown as she watched Xavier suspiciously. “Anna, it's late, and I need to be alone. Please go away. We will talk in the morning.” Xavier demanded, and Anna huffily left him alone. He slammed the door behind to show her he was irritated by her presence. Stripping off and heading for the shower, Xavier paused to stare at his reflection. He shook his head sadly and thought about Della. How could she be pregnant and with someone else now? He knew that he had hurt her with his cheating ways, but he regretted it and wished Della could see that he missed her so much. Xavier stepped into the shower, feeling the warm water envelop his tired body. He closed his eyes, letting the steam wash away the stress and anxiety of the day. As he stood under the spray, he let his thoughts wander to Della, wondering what she was doing, who she was with, and if she was thinking about him. He scrubbed his skin clean,
Della had no idea where she was going, but she knew she had to keep moving. The dream still lingered in her mind, and she couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched. As she drove, she noticed that the road was becoming increasingly deserted. The trees grew closer together, casting long, ominous shadows on the ground. As she rounded a bend in the road, Della caught sight of a sign in the distance. It read "Welcome to Willow Creek" in bold letters. The words seemed to glow in the light, and Della felt a sense of relief wash over her. She pulled into the small town, her eyes scanning the quiet streets. Willow Creek was a small, sleepy town with old-fashioned shops and houses that seemed to have been plucked straight from a history book. As she turned into a parking lot, Della noticed a small diner on the corner. The sign above the door read "Sunny Side Up", and Della suddenly felt hungry. She got out of her car and walked towards the diner, her eyes scanning the menu boar
Ethan couldn't shake off the memory of Martha's words, and he spent the entire night tossing and turning. The thought of Della working in a city café seemed strange, but he knew that if he could see and talk to her, he could convince her to return to the pack and give Xavier another chance. As the night wore on, Ethan's frustration grew. He couldn't take much more of seeing Anna all over the alpha, and his anger boiled over when he saw them together in the kitchen area. He decided that he had had enough. Ethan pulled out his phone and dialed Jake's number, his heart racing with anticipation. After a few rings, Jake answered, his voice gruff but familiar. "Hey, man," Ethan said, trying to keep his tone casual. "I need a favour. I'm looking for a woman named Della. Can you find her for me?" Jake's tone turned sceptical. "What's the story behind this chick?" Ethan hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal. Finally, he said, "Just tell me if you can find her." Ja
Micheal finally pulled into the hospital parking lot; Della's eyes scanned the building, her mind still reeling from the events that had transpired. She could feel the weight of the unknown settling in, and she knew that she needed to get her and the baby checked out as soon as possible.Micheal got out of the car and went round to open the door for Della. He gently helped her out of the car, and his grandmother quickly rushed over to take Della's arm, guiding her towards the hospital entrance.“I got you, Della. Let's keep going.” Mrs Thompson encouraged Della when she kept stopping. Feeling sick, Della mustered a smile and nodded. Inside the hospital, Della was led to a private room, where a nurse took her vitals and began to examine her. Micheal and Mrs Thompson sat in the waiting area, anxiously waiting for news.After an eternity, the doctor emerged from the room, looking relieved. "Well, it looks like you and the baby are doing well," she said, smiling. "But I want to stress t
As Xavier and Anna pulled apart and she went to shower, he sat on the bed thinking about things. His mind felt fuzzy, and he couldn't understand why, but Anna returned to the room and stood in the doorway. Anna smiled when she realised her little plan to get Xavier to want her and forget Della was slowly working. She could not wait to be Luna, and although Xavier had refused to put her wish as his top priority, she was sure he would be up for it now. “Xavier. Do you remember how you wanted me as your Luna?” Xavier's eyes narrowed slightly as he processed Anna's words. He had almost forgotten about their previous conversation, but now that she mentioned it, he did recall the eagerness in her eyes when she asked him to make her his Luna. "Anna, I appreciate your concern, but I'm happy with how things are now. And even if I weren't, I wouldn't want to be manipulated into choosing," Xavier said firmly. Anna's smile returned, but this time it seemed more calculating. "Oh, Xa
One week later Della lingered in the doorway, a smile creeping onto her face as she watched her son sprawled on his playmat, gurgling happily to himself. He was a radiant beacon in her life, embodying her hopes for a joyful, healthy future. Yet, like shadows creeping across her mind, the scars of her past began to resurface. It had been a week since she'd stood on the grounds of the pack she once led alongside Xavier.“Is everything okay, my love?” Michael whispered as he slipped his arms around her, resting his chin on her shoulder. She nodded, though her gaze remained fixed on their child. Felix had inherited his father's smile and eyes—a striking resemblance that filled her with warmth and uncertainty. A nagging thought worried her: Would Xavier, if he had survived the fire, ever return for their son, his true heir? Would vengeance be his motive?“I was just thinking about how quickly Felix is growing up and what his future might hold,” Della said, a sigh escaping her lips as Mich
“That's right, Xavier. That child is not yours. Amma lied. But your true heir will never be tainted by this cursed pack.” Davison announced, and Xavier let out a roar. His chains rattled as he tried once again to free himself. Micheal and his father laughed and mocked the prisoners. “Your stupid wolves are weakened by the wolfsbane in those chains,” Micheal smiled. “I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but please give me a second chance.” Anna suddenly screamed, but Della could not stand to look at Anna; she hated her so much that she wanted to kill her, but she knew Anna was not worth her energy. Seeing Anna grovel and Xavier lose his alpha status felt good for her. The fact that Micheal was the son of the lycan himself was terrific, but nothing could have prepared her for the support she felt from Micheal and his family. Mrs Thompson had been kind when she thought she had nothing and nobody to turn to. All because Xavier slept with an omega because he believed that his own Luna could not become
Xavier squinted his eyes as the door opened, and two prominent figures stepped forward without a word. They pulled him up from the ground and unchained him. Xavier was shocked by this sudden change and did not recognise these two figures. They did not give Xavier any eye contact whatsoever. “Who are you, and what is going on here?” Xavier demanded, but the two figures still did not look at him. Instead, they just chuckled and dragged him out by his feet. Xavier started to yell, but he was no match for them. He was suddenly pulled into darkness when a blindfold was put over his eyes. “Get off of me, you stupid fools,” Xavier screamed, his voice echoing in the dimly lit corridor as they hauled him along. He kicked and thrashed, desperately trying to break free, but their grips were like iron. His protests faded into muffled grunts as they dragged him further from the musty room he'd been confined to for what felt like aeons. “Where are you taking me?” he shouted again, trying a diff
“Well, get talking. I am waiting.” Martha growled as she tapped her left foot impatiently and kept her eyes on Elsa. She wanted to hurt her, but she knew it wasn’t worth it. Elsa would have no choice but to tell her the truth.“I'm sorry, ok, Martha.” she started to cry, and I rolled my eyes. I had had enough of her pissing me about now. As Elsa continued to cry, Martha's grip on her throat relaxed slightly, but her eyes remained fierce and intense. "Get on with it," she growled, her voice low and menacing. “I've had enough now, and you better explain yourself now before I end your life once and for all.” Elsa sniffled and wiped her nose on her sleeve before continuing. "Ethan...he's been planning this. So, he uses Sage's magic to keep Xavier and the others captive, and then he convinces Anna to agree to become his mate.Martha's eyes narrowed. "And what about Sage? Where is she now?"Elsa swallowed hard. "Sage is...she's under Ethan's control. He used her magic to keep Xavier and t
Micheal's question hung in the air, filled with uncertainty and longing. Mrs. Thompson's expression softened, and she gently stroked his arm. "Oh, dear boy, you deserve to be happy," she said, her voice filled with warmth. "If you want to make amends with your father, I think it's worth a try. But you must do it for yourself, not anyone else's approval." "I think it's worth a try," Micheal said. "I've carried this weight around for so long. Maybe I can find a way to resolve things with my father and have a life with Della.” Mrs. Thompson smiled, her eyes shining with encouragement. "I think you can, dear boy. You're a strong and capable individual. Just remember to be true to yourself and communicate openly with both your father and Della." Della nodded a small smile on her face. "Okay," she said. "First thing tomorrow, we will leave to go see your father. It's been a long day, and I'm exhausted. So much has happened, and all I want to do is sleep. The baby will be awake for a
Anna stood proudly with her newborn baby girl in her arms and Ethan beside her. He put an arm around her shoulders and looked at the vast crowd gathered around them. “Members of Silver Moon, Our Alpha Xavier has abandoned his pack after he found his Luna with another man. His beta was too ashamed to come and face you all after hearing of his alpha’s terrible actions. So, as my chosen mate, Anna, holds the true heir to the alpha throne, it would only be right for me to take over as Alpha and make her Luna of Silver Moon.” Ethan announced to the astonished pack as they silently sat and listened to his words. “Tomorrow we will be Alpha and Luna ceremony,” he announced. Martha stood on the crowd's edge and listened carefully to Ethan’s words. None of it made sense. Xavier had done wrong, yes, but there was no way that he would pack up and abandon his pack in the night. She thought that something was going on there, and she didn't like it one bit. She decided to go and see Sage since sh
Xavier felt sick to the pit of his stomach as he walked back through the doors of his pack; he noticed how everyone moved out of his way and avoided eye contact with him. He realised that Ethan, Sage or Martha must have warned them all not to piss off the Alpha. He didn’t care about them as long as they left him alone. Xavier could not believe the nerve of Della rejecting him and moving on with a clown-like Micheal. He could not stand back and allow another man to steal his child as well. His thoughts suddenly wandered back to Anna and the child they had had. He sat down on the edge of his unmade bed and sighed loudly. He wondered if he should go and visit the child and see for himself if it were his. Xavier didn’t care about seeing Anna; she was not worth his time, and he would never make her his Luna. He had to think about the pack's future now, and without Della by his side, it wouldn’t be an easy ride for him. He lay on the bed and closed his eyes, willing sleep to take over,
“Della, I, alpha Xavier, accept your rejection, and I hope you are happy with your life, but mark my words, you will be back, and I won't let you keep me from my child!” Xavier grunted and turned on his heel. Della scoffed at his words. She was glad he finally saw the sense of accepting her rejection. It was time he moved on with his life with his precious omega. She didn't want to have anything to do with him any longer. “Now that wasn’t so difficult, now was it?” Micheal said sarcastically as Xavier carried on walking. “And don't think you will ever be an inch within my Della or our child again,” he yelled after him and then chuckled with amusement. Della watched as Xavier finally turned and left the mansion. She had never hated someone so much, and she felt nothing for him anymore. He didn’t deserve a minute of her time. Martha and Sage were no loyal friends to her either, and she knew that she didn’t want to have to deal with them again. She didn't need friends like that. “You’
Xavier's eyes widened in shock as Mrs. Thompson revealed the shocking truth. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Lycan Davison was the father of Della's new boyfriend. Della’s mouth fell open and her eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing the statement from Mrs Thompson. Xavier felt a wave of bitterness. Why had Della never told him? Why had she kept this secret from him? "You're lying," Xavier bellowed. "Della would never keep something like this from me." Mrs. Thompson smiled sweetly. "Oh, but she didn't know his true identity until now. And now you know why Michael is so determined to keep you away. Your entire pack is a disgrace. Do you think the council and the Lycan himself will be pleased to hear of your affairs and getting your pack to chase and frighten a pregnant female?” Michael stepped forward, his eyes flashing with warning. "You are not wanted here, nor are your little minions.” Micheal spat in disgust as he glared at Ethan, Sage and Martha. “Go back to
