Walking towards him, I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. He immediately wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me closer, deepening the kiss. Pulling apart I rested my head against his and whispered. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” He kissed my forehead and I smiled.

“Sometimes, you cannot undo certain things. And one of those is betrayal. I lost something very precious to me when I met him and I can never ever get it back. And with you I found pieces of me that I didn’t even know existed. I am not talking about choosing but it’s always you for me.” He smiled and hugged me tightly and I hugged him back discreetly wiping my tears. 

“Thank you for telling me that. That’s the sweetest thing ever.” He kissed me all over my face, making me giggle at the wet, ticklish feeling.

I escaped his grip and went back to the kitchen.

Xavier followed me and hugged me from behind, kissing me on my neck. He bit my skin there and I hissed. “Don’t leave a hickey. I can’t cover it in spots I can’t find.” 

“But I like these marks on you. They are proof that you are mine.”

“Isn’t this baby enough proof that I am yours and you are mine?” I was pregnant with his baby. We were yet to find out the gender but more than that we were so excited for this baby. After 3 years of dating and 10 months of our marriage, this was the best news ever. 

“It is, but sometimes, these temporary tattoos on your skin are also very pretty.”

“Yeah, yeah. I don’t understand this fantasy of men and their attempts to mark their women. It’s such an alpha thing.”

“Except that I am not an alpha.” Both of us laughed at that statement as he joined our lips.

“I want to ravish you right now.” His fingers expertly worked in unbuttoning my shirt while his lips worked down simultaneously in leaving kisses down my neck to my chest. He effortlessly lifted me up and placed me on the kitchen counter.

I moaned when he bit the spot between my chest and shivered when he took my nipple in his mouth. 

“Oh my god!” I panted hard when he bit my nipple gently, licking it again and again to soothe the pain.

“Scream louder baby, I can’t hear you.” He teased as he lowered himself down my body. He placed gentle kisses on my stomach as his fingers found the hem of my pants. Pulling them down in one swift go, he stared at my pussy with hooded eyes that I felt my cheeks becoming red.

“Don’t look at me like that.” I shyly whispered, but he didn’t have any of it. 

“You are so beautiful baby. Only I know how hard it is to control myself around you.” He pulled down his shorts and his semi erect cock sprang out. The tip was already red and with precum leaking out of it. He stroked himself a few times before he aligned the tip with my entrance.

“Let me know if it hurts.” I nodded. He thrust himself inside me and I let out a loud moan.

“Oh my god, Xavier. That feels so good.” I wrapped my legs around his waist, as he thrusted in and out of me.

“Yes baby, you feel so good.” He moaned. The expression on his face was a delight to see. His head was thrown back while his mouth was open. He thrusted in and out of me as he navigated through the euphoria that flooded us.

Ding.

The bell of the oven rang and I turned around to look at it. Xavier turned his head, stopping his movements.

“I need to turn that off.” I said and the expression on his face was hilarious. He looked sad like a kid whose candy was taken away from him. He pulled out from me and stepped aside. Helping me down from the counter, he sighed, running his hands through his hair. I bit my lips trying to hide my smile seeing him suffer so badly.

I turned off the oven and pulled the biscuits out and placed them back on the counter.

 Walking back to him, I giggled seeing his pout.

“Don’t laugh. No more sex while that thing is on.” He frowned and I laughed.

“Do you want to continue?” I asked, composing myself.

“Of course I want to. But not here.”

“Then where.”

“In our bedroom.” He lifted me off the floor and carried me to our bedroom until I became sore enough to move.

    I woke up to someone raining kisses on me. I tried to shield my face and sleep but I couldn’t. He was relentless. Sighing, I opened my eyes and there he was. Straddling me but without touching me. I pouted seeing him so energetic and active while I felt tired and sleepy.He kissed my pout and I pushed him away playfully.“I am sleepy. Let me sleep.”“Come on baby, you must be hungry. Let’s get you some food and then come back here.” I ignored his comment and pulled the comforter over and closed my eyes.“Are you tired?” I nodded without opening my eyes. “I am sorry for being so harsh last night.”I opened my eyes and looked at him. He was feeling bad and demeaning himself in his head.Caressing his face I spoke. “I loved what we did yesterday, but it’s probably this pregnancy that’s making me so tired and lazy.” He leaned into my touch and I smiled at his act of his.“Sleep for a little while. I shall grab our breakfasts and be back.” He kissed my forehead and pulled the comforter up

    “Can I come in?” He asked and I stepped aside from the doorway and let him in. “I got these for you. I didn’t know what flowers you like but I hope you like Tulips.”“Now just because you got me something, I must like it?” I snapped back, feeling a sense of frustration building up.“No. I am sorry, that’s not what I meant. I can take them back if you—”“No, it's fine.” Xavier cut him off and I glared at him. He glared back at me and I knew what he meant. He was asking me to remain composed. He picked the bouquet and walked to the kitchen to place them in a jug of water. I sat on the couch and he sat in front of me. Xavier came back with a bottle of water for me and kissed my head. Sitting beside me on the armrest, he wrapped his arm around me and I leaned into him. Lucas was clearly uncomfortable with the way he was fidgeting in his place seeing us. He tried to look here and there to hide his discomfort but he was doing a poor job at it.“I want to let you know that we are coming to C

    She is pregnant. She is —--preg–pregnant.Tears sprang in my eyes and I didn’t even understand why. I quickly walked to the hotel I was staying in and shut the door with a bang. Walking to the liquor cabinet, I pulled out a bottle of vodka and pulled the lid open. Throwing it away in some corner, I chugged the liquid without even caring to pour it into a glass. The strong flavour burned my throat but I could care less. All I felt was a void that hurt so hard. I had experienced the similar kind of pain when I rejected her, four years ago. But I was too arrogant to care about it. But today seeing her in someone else’s arms made my heart clench.Is that how she felt when she found another woman in my arms?Is that how it pained her to see me?The mere thought of her going through so much pain tore my insides. I was childish and clouded with pride. I wanted someone to match me and my vibe and hence I chose Sophia as my mate, rejecting Ariana. Three months into our relationship I realized

    I was feeling nervous. Very nervous. Something in my heart told me that I might be doing the right thing but something was also very wrong about it. I felt Xavier’s arm wrapping around my shoulder and hugging me to himself and I sank into him. I could feel Lucas’s eyes on me but I could care less.“Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Xavier’s soft voice calmed my nerves.“No. Just………feeling something.” He rubbed my arm in a soothing manner and I closed my eyes and tried to focus my attention on something else. Like my man and our baby.Yesterday, we had the chance to see our baby and we were more than overwhelmed. Xavier couldn’t stop crying and I couldn’t stop staring at the screen. She was perfect. Yes, she. I was 21 weeks along now and we found out that we were having a girl. How exciting was that? Xavier was so smug and happy about this that he couldn’t stop staring at the picture the technician printed us. He wanted a baby girl and we were going to have one soon.My hands went to my s

    I was correct when I decided that this was a wrong decision. The moment I stepped into the hall of the pack house, all the eyes were on me. Looking at me like I was some vampire who had been brought into the werewolf world.“That is Shane.” Lucas' voice brought my attention to the woman with afro hair and pink clothes, with beads and crystals on her neck. She looked like a woman who wanted to start a cult but couldn’t and then became a Occultist.“Hi.” I spoke meekly, not believing my voice.“Shane, this is my mate Ariana and –” Before he could finish his words, we heard a snort. Sophie. She was leaning against the entrance looking at us, no, sneering at me. I rolled my eyes at her, not caring about the people around and sat down on the couch before Shane.“I am not his mate. I never was and I never will.” I heard a growl but I knew whose it was. Xavier sat beside me and I instantly relaxed into the familiar warmth surrounding me.“I know dear. I am sorry for what happened to you. Yo

    My wife.Those were the only two words that kept ringing in my ears, as if there was an invisible tape recorder in my head. I shut my ears trying to avoid those words but they did not fade. I shook my head trying to collapse those words, but nothing worked.“Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.” I screamed, my voice so high and dense that I could hear the fluttering of the birds nearby. I was an alpha, by blood, which gave me strength and power more than any other werewolf, but all of that strength was useless now. I couldn’t forget her or lessen the pain in my heart.I walked back to the packhouse, my energy all drained.“Now that she is back, you shall go sniffing around her for a new pussy?” Sopfia’s shrill voice cut through my ears and I winced visibly. I was never a fan of her voice but today I was visibly annoyed. I glared at her but she didn’t cower. Instead she only advanced a step towards me.“Mind your words. Else I shall not hesitate to snap your neck into two.” I threatened h

    Both of our moods were glum. Xavier was lost in his thoughts, his hands furiously ripping the boxes apart to restack our things. My hands went to my almost six month bump, caressing it.“Baby.” I called out to him, but there was no response. It was as if he did not even hear me in this silent house. I walked towards him and placed my hand on his shoulder. As if he was snapped, he jolted and looked at me. His eyes automatically softened as they landed on me. Removing my hand from his shoulder, I extended it towards him. He held my hand and helped me sit down on the floor, beside him.“We shall be fine.” I murmured, my words sounding foreign to my own ears. I knew I was lying. I could feel it in my bones too.“Will we?” I was hesitant to answer his question. I looked down into my lap, as his hands absentmindedly caressed my stomach.“Shall we go back?” I asked and looked up at him. He looked down at me, thinking about an answer.“We shall. I don’t want us to be here anymore. These peopl

    Thump.The moment those words left her mouth, all I saw was red.How dare she?I looked at her, tears leaking out of my eyes as I tried to contain my fury. She tried to push my palm away but I was too strong for her. “Lucas leave her. You will kill her.” Her sweet voice filled my ears and I could feel myself calming down. I let go of her neck and she fell down to the floor. Arina bent down and tried to help her up, but Sofia jerked her hand away making Ariana tumble.Xavier caught her in time. Ariana’s eyes were still shut tightly as she cupped her stomach. “You are okay baby.” Xavier’s voice made her snap back to reality.She turned around and hugged him tightly, her sniffs prominent.“You asked why Lucas. This is why. I don’t know what that lady meant when she said she will lose a lot, but we certainly don’t want to lose our minds. Don’t you ever follow us or contact us.” Holding Ariana, his wife, carefully, he walked away to the taxi waiting for them.I ran my fingers through my h

    Chapter 40: ARIANAThe first thing I thought of when I woke up was the vampires.Their promise. Their demand. Their threat.The night before had been tense. I had been awake for hours, listening to Xavier breathe beside me, feeling the weight of uncertainty pressing against my chest. The vampires had come to the border with a bargain—a simple exchange. Xavier for the safety of the werewolves. It wasn’t just an offer. It was a warning.But Xavier had refused them. He had stood his ground, denying their claim over him, choosing us—choosing me and Aurora. He had promised.And yet… something felt wrong.I turned, reaching for him, expecting to feel the warmth of his body beneath my fingertips.Cold sheets.Empty space.My stomach twisted, a slow, creeping unease crawling up my spine. I patted the space beside me, frowning. It was too cold. If

    Kane and Jake stood outside my bedroom.Looks like sleep left me forever. I don’t even remember the last time I slept. No, I don’t even remember the last time I closed my eyes accidentally. Everytime I look back, all I see is the future coming faster, onto us.“What now?” Something looked funny. No, it smelled funny. But I couldn’t do anything. It could just be my wolf acting up. We did not shift for the longest time and that could have made him irritated.“The vampires are at the border. They want to talk to you. They claim to come in peace, but I don’t trust those bloody bastards one bit.”“We need to talk to them before we plan on killing them, Jake. We don't know how many there are. And we definitely don’t know what they are up to.” Shutting my bedroom door, I walked out, Jake and Kane following me.We decided to shift and reach the border. My wolf was ready to release itself and I let him take charge. Grabbing our dresses in our mouths, we raced to the border. The guards were stat

    “You are a vampire Xavier.” Shane’s voice cut through. Ariana sniffed beside me. “Hey, what happened? What’s wrong?” I asked cupping her face. She shook her head and forced a smile. I didn’t know what to do.“A vampire? How?” How could I be a vampire? And how did I not know about it all this time? No, she is lying. I am not a vampire. But everything came crashing. Again.The way I threw that guard across the room, the heightened sense of smell I had developed recently, the fear in Ariana’s eyes whenever she saw me. Everything came back to me.“Why?” I didn’t know what I was asking or whom I was asking, but yeah, I wanted to know. Know something about myself.I lifted my head and glanced around the room. My eyes found Lucas. He was standing there looking at us. I stood up, and Ariana followed suit. Walking towards him, my hands fell on the bundle in his arms.My daughter.No. Our daughter. I extended my hands towards him and he looked at Ariana. She nodded and Lucas handed my baby gir

    The night of the sacrifice felt like a distant memory, but I remembered every detail with chilling clarity.The flickering torches. The scent of blood in the air. The quiet murmurs of the Elders as they stood in a circle, their faces grave and knowing.I remembered standing there, my heart hammering as Ariana took the blood oath with Lucas. I should have been focused on her, on what it meant for us. But something else had been stirring inside me that night.A pull.A strange, invisible force winding itself around my ribs, tightening with every passing second. It was subtle at first—a whisper at the back of my mind, a shiver in my spine. But then came the sharp pain in my chest, a sensation so foreign, so suffocating, that I had to grip the edge of a wooden bench ju

    Xavier let out a blood curdling scream.“ARGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”I screamed and Aurora broke into screams and wails. The walls around us trembled and the ground shook. The windows and door broke into pieces.A body was thrown onto me and I screamed again. Aurora went still in my arms and I panicked.I quickly patted her cheeks and called her, but she didn’t respond. I shook her tiny chest, but no.No.No.No.Aurora noooooooooo.“Shhhh. She is fine. She is just unconscious.” That was

    There was a shift in the air, one I couldn’t ignore.Tension clung to the packhouse walls like an unseen force, thick and suffocating. The wolves around us moved cautiously, their voices hushed, their eyes flickering between Xavier and each other as if they were waiting for something—something inevitable, something they feared.And Xavier… he was silent.Not his usual composed, brooding silence. This was different.He sat stiffly at the edge of the couch, elbows resting on his knees, hands clasped so tightly his knuckles were white. His head was slightly bowed, dark hair falling over his forehead, hiding his face from view. But I didn’t need to see his eyes to know what was going on inside him.He was unraveling.Slowly.Silently.Aurora’s wails broke through the suffocating stillness.I shifted my grip on her, trying to soothe her, but she kept fussing, her tiny body squirming in my arms. No amount of rocking, humming, or whispered reassurances seemed to help. It wasn’t just discomfor

    The journey back had taken longer than expected.By the time I reached the pack’s territory, the night was thick around me, the air heavy with something unspoken. Something to watch. I had felt it for days now—that invisible force slithering beneath the surface, curling around my ribs like an omen.The Elders had confirmed it.Something old had awakened.And it was already here.I barely had the strength to walk as I made my way through the trees, my body aching from the sleepless nights, my mind still haunted by the voices I had heard in the temple. Whispers in a language I didn’t understand. Warnings etched into the stone, dripping with something more than just history.Blood.The Elders had been cryptic, as always, but their message had been clear enough. There is an enemy in your midst. An enemy hiding in plain sight.And I already knew who it was.Or at least, I thought I did.That’s why I had come straight to Ariana.I found her on the balcony of the packhouse, her arms wrapped a

    The change was subtle at first. Something that couldn’t be seen easily. Xavier had always been a man of quiet intensity, but today, something was… different.It started when we returned from the packhouse. He had been alert, calculating, his hand never leaving the small of my back as if expecting something to strike at any moment. But once we were home, his sharpness faded into something else—something quieter.Distant.He wasn’t pacing, wasn’t tense or outwardly agitated. Instead, he was still. Too still. I watched him from the corner of my eye as I rocked Aurora in my arms. Xavier sat on the edge of the bed, head bowed slightly, his hands resting loosely on his thighs. His breaths wer

    The feeling didn’t go away.Even as the morning stretched into daylight, even as I tried to brush it off as lingering fear from my nightmare—something inside me knew. Something was wrong.I moved through the motions of the morning, tending to Aurora, brushing my hair, washing my face, but nothing felt normal. My own reflection in the mirror looked pale, haunted. Maybe it was just the restless sleep. Maybe it was just the remnants of the dream still clinging to me like a cold mist.But deep down, I knew better.I found Xavier sitting at the edge of our bed, fastening his boots. His dark hair was still tousled from sleep, but his eyes were sharp, alert. He had felt it too, hadn’t he? The
