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
Xavier watched as Ethan walked away from Anna. He didn't move a muscle until Ethan was entirely out of sight. It was not the first time that he had caught Ethan around Anna, and he could not help but start to wonder if there was something more going on. Was she cheating on him with Ethan? Was the child she was carrying even his? A slight growl left his mouth as he decided to confront Anna once and for all. He had given up everything for that girl because she had fallen pregnant. He thought about Della and how much he missed her with all his heart. She had never betrayed him and the pack had adored Della, he knew how stupid he had been to mess all that up. Martha's words kept ringing in his mind about Della being pregnant. He had been unsure if he could allow himself to believe it. All that time of trying, he had never happened for them. Why now? He wanted to put things straight and let her know that he could not continue a future with her. He would ensure that she was well taken
Michael woke up early, feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep. He lay in bed momentarily, thinking about the previous day's events. He had been worried about Della's safety, and he was relieved that she was finally feeling a bit better. Exiting the bed, he reached for his phone to check the time. It was 6:00 AM. He smiled to himself, thinking that he had enough time to fit in a morning run before starting his day. He dressed and headed out the door, going to the park for his usual 5-mile run. The cool morning air invigorated him, and he felt his worries melting away as he pounded the pavement. When he finished his run, Michael returned home to shower and prepare for the day. As he was getting dressed, his phone rang. He picked it up to hear his friend Jacksons' voice on the other end. "Hey, man! I just recovered Della's car from the impound lot," Jackson said. "It was in great shape, by the way. You can pick it up whenever you're free." Michael felt a surge of relief
Michael excused himself and waited out the front for the Uber to take him to the garage. He wondered what her ex would do if he knew about Della having a baby and how Micheal felt about her. He didn't want Xavier anywhere near Della. He had promised her more than once that nobody would hurt her and she was safe with him. Having her move in with him meant that he could easily keep an eye on her and have her protected at all times. Micheal finally saw the Uber arrive, and he put his hand up to acknowledge the driver. “Good day, and how are you?” the driver asked politely as Micheal entered. Not feeling like being sociable, Michael just nodded and said. “Good, thank you. Please get me to my destination quickly.” “Certainly, Sir.” the driver seemed to get the hint. As they drove to the garage, Micheal couldn't shake off the unease in his stomach. He was worried about Della's safety, and the discovery of the tracking device only added to his concerns. When he arrived at the
“Get off of me now, you stupid idiot. How dare you touch me!” Anna yelled at Ethan, who gently placed her down. “You can't be there when the healer is helping our alpha. Anna, you were very rude to her. It's unnecessary.” he sighed, unsure how Anna could think her behaviour was acceptable. Anna scoffed and placed her arms over her chest, glaring at Ethan. “I do not care about her. Who is she to talk to me in that disrespectful manner? I'm carrying the child of an alpha. Everyone should be thinking of me, really.” she sulked, and Ethan wondered what she meant by that. Why would anyone need to thank Anna? Ethan's eyes narrowed as he looked at Anna. "You're carrying the child of an alpha, but that doesn't give you the right to be rude to others," he said firmly. "And who is 'everyone' supposed to be thanking you for? You're not doing anything special just because you're pregnant." Anna's face turned red with anger. "You don't understand," she hissed. "I'm carrying Xavier's ch
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
