“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

    As Ethan sat in his car, waiting for Della to return, he couldn't help but notice the sound of tyres screeching to a halt behind him. He turned to see a recovery truck adorned with flashing lights and a bright yellow logo pulling up to Della's car. Ethan's eyes narrowed as he watched the truck come to a stop, and a technician in a bright orange vest jumped out of the driver's side door. The technician, a tall, lanky man with a rugged face, walked around the recovery truck and approached Della's car. He examined the vehicle momentarily before nodding to himself and reaching for his toolbox. Ethan's curiosity improved, and he leaned forward in his seat, trying to understand better what was happening. The technician quickly got to work, using specialised equipment to lift and extract the damaged car from the parking lot. As he worked, Ethan watched with a mix of fascination and unease. He couldn't believe that Della had left her car here, in this condition, and now it seemed like s

    Anna's eyes felt dry and gritty as she stared at Martha, her mind reeling with the implications of what she had just said. "You're telling me that Ethan has been in love with me this whole time?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Martha nodded solemnly. "Yes, Anna. I've seen the way he looks at you, the way he talks about you. He's been pining for you for months, maybe even years." Anna felt a wave of nausea wash over her as she processed this information. She had been so oblivious to Ethan's feelings, and now it seemed like everyone else knew about it except for her. "Why didn't he say anything?" Anna asked, her anger and frustration simmering just below the surface. Martha shrugged. "I don't know, but I think he feared losing your friendship. He's been walking around with a broken heart for a long time, Anna." Anna felt a pang of guilt as she realised that she had been so focused on her problems that she hadn't even considered Ethan's feelings. She had always conside

    "Della, be reasonable now, please." Micheal sighed heavily as Della stomped off towards his car. He understood she was worried, but she had to take it easy like the doctor had told her. Micheal knew how stubborn Della could be, but he felt drawn to her since that day they had met in the petrol station. He refused to let her out of his sight again. "Take me back to my car, please, Micheal. Thank you for your concerns, but me and this baby will be just fine." She insisted, refusing to meet Micheal or Mrs Thompson's concerned faces. "Della, stop being so stubborn!" Mrs. Thompson exclaimed, her voice rising in concern. "You're not thinking about the baby's safety or your own. What if you get into an accident? What if something happens to the baby?" But Della was having none of it. She crossed her arms over her chest and glared at Micheal and Mrs Thompson, her eyes flashing with defiance. "I told you, we're fine. We don't need your help," she spat, her voice dripping with venom

    Della's eyes widened in surprise as Micheal's words hung in the air. She had never expected him to ask her to move in with him. "Michael, I don't know if that's a good idea," Della said hesitantly, trying to process her thoughts. Micheal's expression turned concerned. "Why not? You'll need a place to stay, and I have a spare room here. It's safe and secure, and I can provide you with the support you need.” he was determined to make Della realise she was better off saying yes because he wasn't about to take no for an answer. Della shook her head. "It's just...I don't know. My ex might try to find me. He's dangerous.” Micheal's face fell, but he didn't give up. "I understand that, but please, just consider it. I'll make sure you're comfortable and happy here. And I'll be here for you, no matter what. Della, believe me, you will be safe here, and nothing will get in the way of that.” Della felt a pang of guilt for rejecting him so quickly. She knew he was trying to help, b

    Della wrapped her arms around Felix, pulling him close, feeling the warmth of his small body against her as relief washed over her like a tide. "I was so scared, Felix. You have to promise me you won’t do that again. You have to let me know where you’re going, okay?” Felix nodded, his cheek pressed against her shoulder. “I just wanted to see the bunnies,” he mumbled, a slight tremor in his voice. “I thought I could find them by myself.” Della's heart ached at his childlike innocence, but she couldn’t shake the undercurrent of fear that still clung to her. “I know, sweetheart, but you can’t go out on your own. It’s dangerous. What if you got lost?” “Mommy, I didn’t get lost,” he protested, pulling back slightly to meet her gaze, his eyes wide and earnest. “I just went to look for them.” Michael appeared behind them, his face a mix of relief and anger. “Felix,” he said, kneeling down to the boy’s level, “You scared us half to death! You can’t go off like that. You don’t know

    The morning light seeped through the curtains, casting a golden hue across Della's bedroom. As she stirred awake, the comforting warmth of the blankets wrapped around her, she felt an inexplicable sense of peace. But as she turned to discover the space beside her empty, a wave of unease washed over her. "Felix?" she called, her voice muffled by the sheets. There was no reply. Just the chirping of birds outside and the quiet hum of the world waking up. Della swung her legs over the edge of the bed, the wooden floor cool beneath her feet. Panic began to bloom in her chest. She quickly pulled on a sweatshirt and rushed out of the room, the hallway stretching quiet. "Felix, come on!" she called again, a sense of urgency creeping into her tone. She dashed to his bedroom, flinging open the door, but the room was empty. The bed was unmade, toys scattered across the floor—a trail of evidence marking his previous presence—but he was nowhere to be found. Della's heart raced, each be

    Michael’s gaze shifted from the road to the porch, his previous lightheartedness vanishing in an instant. "Della, stay in the car," he whispered, but his voice was steady, grounded. His protective instincts kicked in as he surveyed the scene. Felix, oblivious to the tension gripping the adult hearts beside him, continued to chatter, "He looks funny! Is he a clown? Can I see him?" Della felt like she might drown in the chaos inside her mind. That face—she knew it. The storm of emotions crashing over her threatened to pull her under. The world outside, once decorated in hues of vanilla and strawberry, faded into worry-laden grays. “It’s… it’s nobody, sweetheart,” she said, her voice trembling despite her best effort to sound calm. Those two words echoed hollowly in her chest, the truth of the situation crashing against her like waves. “Della? What do you want to do?” Michael’s voice was a low rumble, a rock amidst the encroaching tide of unease. As fear clawed its way up

    As they stepped up to the counter, Della’s heart lightened further, drawn in by the kaleidoscope of colors and flavors that decorated the ice cream shop. The vibe was familial; patrons filled the tables, laughter and animated chatter ringing through the air. It was the kind of normalcy she craved, a temporary reprieve from the unease swirling inside her. Michael glanced over at Della while Felix pointed out various flavors, his small finger tapping excitedly against the glass case. “What are you thinking?” he asked, his voice low enough for only her to hear. “Maybe just something simple,” she replied, trying to dismiss the heavy remnants of anxiety that lingered at the back of her mind. “A scoop of vanilla could do.” Michael nodded, subtly encouraging her, and Della felt grateful for his unwavering support. Felix continued debating flavors, oblivious to the delicate dance of emotions unfolding between his parents. “Can I get sprinkles, Daddy?” Felix asked, his gaze wide

    Michael’s brow furrowed in surprise at Della’s abruptness. “Already? We just got here,” he said, glancing at Felix, who looked equally bewildered. “Yeah, Mummy!” Felix chimed in, his face falling. “I haven’t even caught a fish yet!” “I know, sweetie, but I just… I feel like we should head back. It’s getting late.” Della offered a weak smile, but she felt the mounting pressure of her unease gripping her again. Michael studied her closely, searching for signs of her discomfort. “Are you sure? We can stay for just a little while longer. I promise it’ll be worth it.” His tone wavered between concern and disappointment, looking between the two most important people in his life. Della hesitated, torn between wanting to appease Felix’s enthusiasm and the unsettling feeling that had returned, creeping in like tendrils of mist. “I… I really think we should go. Something just doesn’t feel right.” Felix huffed, crossing his arms. “But Mummy, what if we miss catching the biggest

    Della watched as Michael tossed Felix into the air, the boy’s laughter filling the kitchen like sunshine. It was a captivating sound that melted away the shadows of her dream and the specter of a past that seemed to linger. Yet, despite the warmth around her, a slight unease dimmed the glow. She stood and poured herself a cup of coffee, hoping the familiar aroma would steady her nerves. “Are you all packed for the fishing trip?” she called over her shoulder, trying to focus on the present. As she stirred in a splash of cream, she caught Michael's gaze. He was beaming at their son, but his eyes flickered to Della's for just an instant—an unspoken understanding passing between them. Felix was busy bouncing around the table, recounting his most recent fishing adventures, his vivid imagination transforming every catch into legendary tales. “And then, Mummy, the fish was as big as a whale!” he declared, eyes wide. “That sounds impressive, buddy,” Della replied, enjoying the innoc

    Della woke up with a start. Sweat ran down her face as she struggled to regain her breath, and her heart was thumping like crazy in her chest. She turned her head and saw that Michael was still fast asleep. It was dark outside, and the bedside clock on the cabinet told Della that it was a few minutes after five a.m. She sunk back into her pillow and looked up at the ceiling. She couldn’t shake the image of her ex from her mind, the fire and wondering if he had died in it. Xavier had been the love of her life for so long, or so she had thought. She guessed she should be grateful since if it weren’t for him; then she would never have met the man who was indeed for her. Reaching over to take a sip of water from her glass, she quenched her thirst and sat up. Sleep wouldn’t come for her anytime soon, and she knew it. With a sigh of frustration, she swung her legs over the bed and felt for her fluffy pink slippers; they were so comfortable, especially when it was as cold as it was.

    Prologue Five years had passed, and while Della struggled to rebuild her life, the specter of Xavier loomed, a shadow she could never quite shake. Felix was now a joyful, rambunctious boy, so full of life and innocence that it made Della’s heart swell with pride and joy, even as memories of the past occasionally clawed at her resolve. In their new home, a cozy cottage surrounded by the lush woods of a nearby reserve, Della worked tirelessly to create a sense of normalcy. The walls were painted soft colors, and sunlight streamed through windows adorned with cheerful curtains. Michael had dedicated himself to making their sanctuary a safe haven, but Della often felt like the weight of the world settled heavily upon her shoulders. “Mama! Look! I can catch a butterfly!” Felix shouted one sunny afternoon, darting across the grass like a streak of light. Della’s heart swelled at his unquenchable curiosity and explorative spirit. She watched warmly as he pranced around the vibrant

  • His Luna’s Rejection, Her Alpha’s Mistake   Epilogue

    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
