“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 Chicago to help your pack.” I let out everything in one go.

Lucas was shocked for a second but he quickly composed himself. “Thank you so much. When do you want to leave?” 

“Leave? First listen to my conditions.”

“Sure, tell me about them.” Why is he acting all caring and respectful?

“One. Xavier and I need complete protection from your pack and your mate. Any form of threat or attack, we shall immediately come back and you shall take responsibility for it. Two, I shall decide when the sacrifice shall happen. No one, I mean no one will put any kind of physical, emotional or mental pressure on me for it. Three, we shall live in our own place and nowhere close to the pack. You shall hire the necessary security and personal for our safety.  And on top of everything, if anything goes wrong, you shall take responsibility for the entire thing.” He nodded listening to me attentively.

“I shall ensure that both of you are safe and happy there. It shall be my duty to safely escort you back here.”

“I have already lost so much because of you. Don’t make me regret anything for making this decision.” 

“You have my promise. I shall protect you with everything in me. Afterall you are my—” He coughed trying to cover his words.

“Extend that honor and promise to Xavier too. I will not tolerate anything bad or wrong happening to him.”

“Come on. Don’t be so pessimistic.” Xavier spoke.

“You don’t know these guys honey. They know very well how to treat people. I am just making sure that we don’t regret this decision at any costs.” Sarcasm was evident in my tone.

“You won’t. I shall make sure of that. And before you even know, I shall safely escort you back here to San Francisco.” I nodded agreeing to him, but I couldn’t assure myself. There was a restless feeling inside me and I prayed hard wishing that it shouldn’t harm the three of us.

“Have you thought of a plan for this? When do we start?” He was impatient about this and I was going to give him a very bitter medicine.

“I will talk to my doctor and let you know.” 

“Do–doctor?” He stuttered.

“Yes. I am pregnant and until I have medical clearance I cannot fly.” I told him and his eyes went to my stomach.

“You are preg–pregnant.” His eyes were glossy. I was surprised to see him be so vulnerable. I looked up at Xavier who in turn was in a deep frown looking at Lucas. I nudged him with my elbow and he turned to look at me with a different emotion in his eyes.

Fear.

I shook my head and assured him with my eyes. He nodded and kissed my forehead, his lips lingering there for a while.

I kissed his cheek and he patted my hair.

“Is there a problem?” I asked Lucas and he snapped his attention back to my face.

“No. No, there is no problem. It's just that I–I” He chuckled mirthlessly and discreetly wiped his eyes. “This is my number. Let me know your plans. I shall get going.” He placed his card on the table in front of him and walked out of the door leaving me and Xavier confused.

What is happening?

    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.

    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

    “Xavier, honey, why is she crying?” I walked into the house, placing my keys and bag and looked around for my sweethearts.“Hey Ari.” Xavier came out of our bedroom with an exhausted face. Our daughter leaned towards me and I quickly scooped her into my arms. I showered her with kisses making her giggle slightly, her tears disappearing. I wiped her cheeks, drying her tears and looked at Xavier. He looked worn out.“Hey, what happened?” He sighed and walked into our room and sat on the bed.“I was about to grab a bite and she saw me. I fed her tiny pieces of the bread but she wanted a bite. I was afraid that she would choke and I didn;t feed her and she started crying.” He whispered in a broken tone.“I am so sorry honey. Have you been a bad girl, sweetie pie?” I asked our daughter who looked at me with her eyes. She had her left hand in her mouth and looked at me innocently. She made a sound of displeasure and I sighed. “Did you eat anything, Xav?” He shook his head in a no. “Go and f

I can’t wait to taste you.” I chuckled at his words.“Oh yeah? What about my turn?” I turned around and smirked. He was half hard by now, his dick trying to free from his pants.“Baby, you can always have your turn.” He dropped his pants and his cock sprung free, leaking with precum.I held his cock with my fingers and opened my tongue to taste him.
