Ethan's eyes narrowed as he considered Sarah's proposal. He didn't like the idea of getting rid of Anna. Still, he was also worried about the pack's safety. Anna's behaviour had become increasingly erratic, and Ethan couldn't deny that she was a liability. But was he getting rid of her? That seemed drastic. Ethan thought about all the times Anna had been kind and caring, all the times she had helped the pack. Could he bring himself to do something so drastic? As he stood there, lost in thought, Sarah's voice cut through his reverie. "Well, Ethan? Are you in or out?" Ethan sighed, trying to make a decision. "I need some time to think," he said finally. Sarah's face fell, but she recovered quickly. "Fine," she said. "Take all the time you need. But remember, the longer you take, the more precarious Anna's position becomes." Ethan nodded, feeling a sense of unease. He knew Sarah was right – the longer he waited, the more danger Anna would face. He decided to g
As Michael's words washed over her, Della felt a warmth spread through her chest. She had been so caught up in her emotions and fears that she had almost forgotten what it was like to feel loved and desired. She looked up at Michael, her eyes locking onto his. She saw the sincerity and passion there, and her heart skipped a beat. "I want that too," she whispered, her voice barely audible. Michael's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled. "I knew you did," he said, his voice low and husky. He leaned in, his lips brushing against hers in a gentle kiss. Della felt her pulse race as she responded, her hands reaching up to wrap around his neck. As they kissed, Della felt lost in the sensation of being wanted and desired. It had been so long since she'd felt this way that she wasn't sure how to process it. But as Michael's hands began to explore her body, she forgot all about Ethan and Xavier and the pain of her past. All that mattered was this moment, this feeling of being
Della's heart sank at Michael's words. She didn't want to go back to the pack, not now, not ever. The memories of her time with Xavier still haunted her, and the thought of returning to that toxic environment was unbearable."No," she said, her voice firm. "I'm not going back there. I won't put myself through that again. He hurt me to the bones, and I loved every inch of that idiot. I never want to see his face again. I won't go back.” Michael's expression turned stern. "Della, you need to face whatever this is head-on. You can't keep running from your problems. Let's put him straight, please.” But Della shook her head. "I'm not running from my problems, Michael. I'm running from Xavier. And I'm not returning to that pac. Why should I face him and deal with the consequences of his actions?” Michael's eyes narrowed. "What consequences?"Della took a deep breath. "The baby," she said quietly. "He doesn't know I'm pregnant yet, and I don't want him to find out. I don't want him anywhe
As Anna sat beside Xavier, holding his hand and trying to convince him to wake up, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She gasped, doubling over as the contraction intensified. "Anna, what's wrong?" Ethan asked, rushing to her side. She shook her head, and tears streamed down her face as she could not say a word; the pain got worse. "I think...I think it's labour," Anna panted as she finally found the strength to speak. “Oh, goddess.” Ethan scooped her up and rushed her to another room down the hall, where a doctor rushed in to examine Anna “She is in labour.” the doctor confirmed. Anna screamed out in fright. “No. Not now. I need to be with Xavier. He needs me.” she was becoming hysterical, and Ethan hated to see her in such agony. He held her hand and assured her that everything would be alright. "Anna, I'm here for you," he said softly. "You're going to be okay." Anna nodded, biting her lip as another contraction hit. She felt like she was going to
“What are you doing here, Sage?” Anna gulped as she handed her newborn baby to her sister and sat up more. She hadn't expected to see Sage and didn't want her sister to know about her plot to trick Xavier into forgetting about Della completely. Sage's expression was grave as she approached Anna's bedside. "Anna, I have something important to tell you," she said, her voice low and urgent. Anna, still weak from her labour, looked up at Sage with a mix of exhaustion and curiosity. "What is it? Why are you here? Can't you see I've just given birth?” Sage's eyes locked onto Anna's. "It's about Xavier," she said, her voice firm but gentle. Anna's gaze narrowed. "What about him? Is he awake?” Sage took a deep breath. "I do have to warn you, he's not what he seems. He's involved with something dark and dangerous." Anna's face tightened in annoyance. "What are you talking about, Sage? Xavier is the father of my child, and if you hadn't noticed, he's in a coma."
Xavier's eyes fluttered open, and the beeping of machines surrounding him greeted him. He tried to remember what had happened, but his memories were hazy and fragmented. As he slowly sat up, a nurse rushed over to him, concern on her face."Whoa, easy does it, Alpha Xavier! You need to stay calm and rest," she said, helping him back onto the pillow. "You've been out of it for a while, and we're still trying to get you fully recovered. Unfortunately, you're not healing as quickly as expected, Alpha."Xavier's gaze scanned the room, trying to take in his surroundings. He was in a hospital room with white walls, beeping machines, and sterile white sheets. He could see the faint outlines of tubes and wires attached to his body, and a faint smell of antiseptic filled his nostrils.As he looked around, a face flashed into his mind - Della's face. He remembered their argument, how she stormed out of the room, and then... nothing. He tried to remember what happened next, but it was all blurry
Michael buttoned up his crisp white shirt, his eyes lingering on Della's radiant face as she sat perched on the edge of the bed, her hand resting on her growing baby bump. He couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration for the woman he loved, who seemed to glow with an inner light.Just then, his grandmother, Mrs. Thompson, popped her head through the door, a twinkle in her eye. She winked at Della, and Michael felt grateful for her presence. "Don't worry, dear," she said, addressing Michael, "I'll be here to watch her while you're away. You have nothing to worry about."Michael nodded, feeling a mix of relief and guilt wash over him. He hated leaving Della, especially when she was nearing the end of her pregnancy. But he had a meeting at the office that he couldn't reschedule."I'll be back as soon as possible," he promised, leaning over to kiss Della's forehead. She smiled up at him, her eyes sparkling with a tired but loving gaze."Be safe," she whispered, her hand touching his fa
Della's eyes widened in horror as she felt a warm liquid seep down her legs. She looked down to see that her water had broken. Her baby was coming, and she was alone, surrounded by the people who had helped destroy her life. "No...no...no..." she whispered, her mind reeling with panic. "Della, please, listen to us!" Sage begged, her voice hoarse from shouting. "We didn't mean to hurt you. We just wanted to make things right between you and Alpha Xavier." Della's eyes locked onto Sage's, her gaze cold and hard. "You want to make things right? Do you want to make me forget what you did? Forget how you betrayed me and my mate's bond with your stupid magic.”! Sage took a step forward, her hands outstretched. "Della, please, don't be like this. We can work through this. We can make it right." But Della was beyond reason. Her body was wracked with contractions, her mind racing with the pain and betrayal she felt. "Get away from me," she spat, her voice venomous.
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
