Banishment. Abigail's POV.Having to resume my chores with my fresh bruises was a tad bit more difficult than before but I was determined to make the most out of it. Mandy the witch was always talking to me and I had no way to avoid her. I didn't want to talk to her about the topic that she was keen to tell me about. I knew what she was expecting but there was no way that I'd let that happen."You know that he's the one for you, why don't you just try to let him see what he's missing?" She broke into my thoughts when I was separating straws in the stable.I was getting used to her appearance and disappearance, so I looked up and rolled my eyes. My life was less miserable in the sense that Laurie didn't have my time as before but my chores were doubled. I could work with an aching back than victimization from her. "I'm tired of hearing this. Won't Laurie catch you one of these days? I'm sure that she'd have your head and I won't be sorry for you one bit." I told her. She grinned an
Abigail's POVCurious.“Abigail, the Alpha has requested to see you.” I jumped at the spin of Ella’s voice at the back of my head whilst gasping. I don't even know that my mind had wandered far off that I was startled just by someone's voice. What in the name of the goddess had I been thinking about?“I'm sorry if I startled you.” She started with heads bent low. I would have thought she was scared of me with the way she was jittering but I knew better. Maids had been trained to always keep their eyes low when they talked to anyone.“No apologies needed. What did you say earlier?” I asked just to be sure that I was just assuming things when I heard her the first time because there's no way that was what had come out of her mouth.“I said that the Alpha requested your presence.” That has to be a stupid fucking joke, a very bad joke at that. But her eyes were firm and there was absolutely nothing to deploy that she was joking so the smile that was on my face disappeared like it was neve
Abigail's POV.Reassurance Jake dismissed instantly that I was almost about to ask if he was once present. The sharp disappearance scared me and I felt like something else was wrong. I headed toward the door and heard a sharp growl, warning me not to take that bloody step. Well he had nothing to worry about since I was only trying to get out of his hair. I shot him a wry smile and stayed in my position. I knew that he was faster but if he tried to hurt me, I could still bolt. "What do you want to know about me?" He asked and I rolled my eyes at him. Well, obviously not at him but I made an irritated movement sideways. He was going to kill me if he knew but that didn't change anything. He was just a monster looking for the perfect way to get rid of me."I don't want to know anything about you, Alpha. I was just worried when Beta Jake called me." I replied coldly while keeping my head bowed. That helped to conceal the anger that I felt rushing through my bones. "Are you sure that'
Abigail's POV.Helping The Alpha."Are you sure?..." He stalled and I saw a certain emotion flicker in his eyes. I couldn't place my fingers on it. It was almost as if he was fighting something. "Are you sure that you're okay?" I asked him in turn and before I knew what was happening, my feet led me right back to him. My hands almost connected with his face and I went still. This wasn't what I was supposed to be doing at the moment. "Nothing is wrong with me." He refuted and I stared at him, he was trying to escape my questioning but I was faster than him. "You don't want to anger me." He replied. "I don't know what you want from me. Why are you hiding away from me? You say that you want me, don't you?" I asked him. It was a stupid risk but who was I not to take it?"Get away from me, Abigail." He said through gritted teeth, his brows drawing in annoyance but I didn't back off. "you're just a pest that needs to be wiped off. I don't know how you continue to be a pest. Do you even
Awaited Results.Daniel's POV.There were a lot of things that I knew that I couldn't do without, one of which was having good people around. As much as I wanted to deny this fact, I knew that Abigail was indeed a real one but permit me to say that I was damaged beyond the breaking point so everything right at that point seemed like an agenda to me and I was very skeptical about them. I didn't believe that someone could be so selfless in making sure that I didn't miss a thing. There just had to be something attached. "You're stalling again. What do you have to lose? You're the one in control." She urged but I didn't succumb to her words. One had to look beyond the face value and finally see what was happening right in their very eyes. "You can leave. Tell Jake never to call you again." I replied and disengaged from her hold. She must have seen that I was tired of her and that if she pushed me I could snap so she quickly retreated. My beast had a different idea and was berating me
Suspicions Run Deep. Author's POV."You're pregnant?" Daniel repeated to be sure that he had heard the news properly. This wasn't what he was expecting but this caught him completely off guard. It didn't make any sense to him that this was happening. "Yes, I'm pregnant. Why don't you sound happy about it?" Laurie replied in a hurt voice. "I don't know, it's just crazy that this is happening. We were told that you couldn't get pregnant. When did you notice this? I need to take you to a doctor." Daniel replied in a rush. He didn't know how to explain the fact that he wasn't completely happy that his heir was coming from her but was trying so hard to conceal it. He didn't want to fall into that trap. It was too great for gin at least right now. If something could be done about it so that it be transferred to...He shook his head to get rid of that poisonous thought. It was better that the kid was coming from his beloved concubine. Laurie wasn't a bad choice. That meant that he would
Confirmations Don't Hurt Either. Daniel's POV.I watched her become startled yet I didn't flinch with the ssy she was acting. I wasn't a fool who didn't understand what she was playing at. I was a lycan. I was supposed to hear the first sound of the pup if she was truly pregnant."Laurie, why aren't you saying anything?" I demanded and she jumped in shock. "I don't know why you're stressing yourself, I'm pregnant. You might not just be able to hear the sound yet, you know?" "No, I don't know. I'm supposed to hear that first heartbeat of the child. There wasn't anything pleasant with the way that she was acting. Something was off about her but I was going to play it cool so that she didn't suspect me one bit. The only thing that I was going to stop was the fact that she would not be able to do this kind of trash with me."Never mind. I think it's my inquisitive mind playing tricks on me." I told her and she smiled at me softly before hugging me. I patted her hair downward reassuri
Beckoning. Amidst the noise that was making a sound in the pack, I was mute. I refused to attend any celebration that was ongoing. I took that time to hide in the stables. I was inconsequential so no one was going to know that I had sneaked out of this place for a very long time which I was happy about. If there was a better way for me to escape I would.Well, why didn't I just seize this opportunity? Lamenting wouldn't solve my problems would it? Definitely not. I was supposed to take the opportunity and run with it sharply. It would help me better than anyone.I looked around and found that no one was watching me. I could just seize this opportunity to run away. If I didn't I would have myself to blame because that would make me lose out on many things which I should have been wiser about. How would I avoid the real punishment without even telling anyone? Rudy, who had been stopping by all these days, was only happy that I wanted to abscond but he didn't have the balls to give me
Abigail's POV. "Look how far we've come, from beginning a family to planning everything as they are. It's been wonderful," Daniel spoke as he walked through the porch. "Is this what I think it is?" I inquired.He hugged me from behind and planted a kiss on my neck. "We've been able to conquer every opposition on our way, and that makes it very worthwhile. When last did you speak to your pack?" He asked."I don't know, they should be fine." I spoke while rubbing my belly softly. "Do you want me to get close to the pack?" He looked at me slowly and shook his head, "I want you to be done with all of them." I smiled at him. "I was thinking about merging the packs together." I told him. "We can do that." She replied, and I looked at him.We walked towards the balcony and overlooked the Pack. Things were really picking up. "Mom!" Raine called and we turned. "Rachel is troubling me!" He ran towards us and I rolled my eyes at him. I didn't think this was possible anyway. "Oh really?"
Daniel's POV. "I can't find Raine!" Abigail's voice sounded with urgency that had me jumping up from bed and dashing towards the door before remembering that I had no clothes on. "He was here with Mace a few minutes ago but now she's telling me that he is nowhere to be found. I have searched everywhere but now my mind is going haywire. I don't know where he is." This was a mess. My eyes roamed across the room seeking an answer to my questions. "Call Macy, I need to speak with her." I replied and immediately switched to my mind link. This had to be done almost immediately. "Jake, tell me what I hear is not true. How the hell would my son disappear from the public eye when you were supposed to keep him safe?" I inquired angrily. "How far I am completely perplexed about the situation. Although I am already returning, I will send out some scouts so that we can get to the bottom of this issue right now." He reassured me. Something wasn't right, yet I couldn't place my finger on it. If
Collaboration. "Are you the person I was supposed to meet?" Laurie inquired from a dark figure that shoved his hands into his pockets with his head bowed so that no one could figure out who he was. "This is not a perfect place to meet. You are only going to land me in more trouble. One of the basic reasons I have been wasting my time so far with you is because I believe you have something good for me. If you know that this request to see me will not yield anything fruitful, then we should both part ways and act as though we have never met." Laurie spoke.Alpha Liam gazed right and left looking for the perfect way to broach his subject without her disturbing him. He had a plan that would be brought to fulfillments if she was sensible enough not to disturb him one bit. "You should be very careful with words as they could break or make you. We are here for a common purpose, the best thing you can do is to be calm about it. I've heard how frustrated you are that your husband or boyfrien
The Return. "Alpha, the pack is under fire." Jake told me and I turned towards him. "What do you mean by the pack being under fire?" I inquired from Jake who was staring at me like I had grown three heads.Jake probably thought that I was losing my mind with how calm I was instead of fidgeting at the way he was acting. "Abigail has arrived." He announced and looked at me warily as if expecting me to say something that he'd not like. This wasn't going to make any atom of sense to him whatsoever."Tell her to come in then, instead of just standing over there. I want to see my kid. Call Mace so that she doesn't miss this lovely opportunity." I instructed him. After discussing with him, he was still looking at me warily but I was less concerned about his stare. He was afraid of Laurie finding out that I had a kid but at this point too, I was also going to introduce her to the pack. My son wouldn't live as a fugitive and all that I want to discuss is finding a better way of dealing wit
Sore Loser.Alpha's Liam strode out of Abigail's apartment with a glare on his face. Who would have imagined that she would turn down his offer after everything that he has done for her? Providing shelter, food and even a job when she was nothing but a rogue, and now she had the audacity to say that she wasn't in the mood for any relationship. Abigail on the other hand tried to stop him but he wasn't having it. This was one of the issues she had with a lot of men who felt like being helped had to resort into exchanging sexual favors. Alpha Liam threw a bottle of Chamdor on the floor causing it to shatter into pieces. She was an ungrateful b**** that needed to be repaid in her coin. How the hell did she suddenly define her taste after getting everything she wanted from him. Now he was a fool and that caused him more pain than he had ever felt in his life. He would never have expected that he would fall victim to such a thing. 'You have been fooled, Liam. This is the height of your f
Back-and-forth.Abigail's POV."Raine... stop that." I called my toddler who was staring at me with a small smile on his face as though he knew what I was talking about. He was so intuitive and smart for his age that a lot of people were envious of him. "Are you sure this kid is almost a year old?" Daniel spoke over the phone when he had me calling him to stop moving his toys around. I nodded then realized that he couldn't see me. "Can't you switch to video calls so that you can see the extent of the mess he made and don't think that I am just making it up?" I inquired. A few seconds later I saw Daniel smiling at me. As though Raine knew that I wanted to video him, he stopped moving around and started smiling at me with a toothless grin."I think this boy is too smart. He knows that I wanted to show you what he was up to." Daniel's chuckle tickled my skin as I listened to his voice. "Are you serious? I was very mischievous when I was also little so I believe it is inherited. My mo
BetrayedAuthor's POV. "Where are you coming from?" Laurie demanded from Daniel as soon as he returned home afterward. "You know better than to leave me here for a while yet return like I'm a piece of furniture." She demanded from him. Daniel paused as soon as he pulled the door open. "Good evening to you too, Laurie." He replied.Laurie refused to take his mode of speech seriously. He was only trying to gaslight her. "Do you realize that there is something wrong with us, Daniel? You don't care,do you?" She accused him but he didn't speak to her. "I am talking to you, Daniel. You won't turn me into a mad fellow! I'm trying to ensure that there is a semblance of order in the Pack but you're going ahead to do whatever you like. How does that even make any sense?" She accused him. Daniel was wroth yet considered their closeness. It was stupid for him to act all angry when it was something that they could just resolve slowly. "You are angry that I neglected you, which I apologize for,
Heartfelt Apologies. Abigail's POV. Meanwhile on the other hand, I watched Daniel stroke Raine's head softly as he looked ahead to see what was happening. "Is something wrong with him? He's been sleeping too much." Daniel blurted in fear. "He's sleeping from the aftereffect of the medications." I answered him, chuckling softly as he was acting as though there was a problem with my son. "Are you scared?" He nodded, "Very. I can't allow any harm to come to him. This is very basic but I believe that we can still do something about it, you know?" "About what?" "Our situation. You can return home with me." He suggested. "Since when did your pack become my home? After I gave birth huh? You've not even ascertained if this kid is yours, assumptions kill you know?" I retorted. He had been acting all cool and kind to me since we met again but I knew how harsh this man could be so I wasn't buying it. Daniel ran a palm across his face tiredly. "Do you realize that I wouldn't be here if I
Lonely Home. Meanwhile Jedidiah had managed to return home but was panting mercilessly as she went ahead to have a discussion. It was crazy that someone would be so interested in rubbishing her when she wasn't one of those girls. It was crazy but she would not take this one bit. Thankfully, Daniel was not at home and he didn't make it mandatory for her to remain in the Pack. It sent the wrong signal to her anyway. What the hell was she thinking about? Didn't she know that he was cruel in the first place? She thought and shook her head.As soon as she crossed the threshold she felt that something was different yet refused to stall further, she headed into the house and was shocked to meet the love of her life smoking."James, what the hell are you doing?!" She fired at him but was greeted with a grin on his face. He had no single remorse whatsoever concerning what he was doing. For all he cared, she was only just acting out of point instead of doing what he should."Do you realize ho
