POV MALIAI wasn't exactly sure what to expect when I decided to look for clues about Paul and Dandara, but I knew I couldn't give up. Every minute without news of them was a blow to my hope. With my heart racing and determination strong, I found myself in front of a dirty bar, owned by a nearby pack. The place exuded an aura of decay, but I had no choice but to search there.I pushed open the heavy door and entered. The smell of alcohol and smoke was stomach-turning, and it took my eyes a few seconds to adjust to the darkness. Shadowy figures were scattered at the tables, some casting suspicious glances in my direction. Ignoring them, I walked up to the bar, where a burly bartender was wiping glasses with a dirty rag."I'm looking for someone," I began, trying to keep my voice steady. I took out my phone and a photo of Paul, turning it towards him. "Has he been here recently?"The bartender raised an eyebrow and gave me a calculating look. I continued, trying to explain the reason for
The walk to the restaurant was always the same, but today it felt heavier. When I arrived, I pushed the door open with a sense of déjà vu, entering the familiar atmosphere of occupied tables and the smell of fresh coffee. I put on my apron, ready to face the day, but something was different.That's when I saw them. Malia, Damon, and Jaden were there, sitting at one of the tables. My heart raced, and I felt the blood drain from my face. What were they doing here? I tried to pass by them, hoping they wouldn't notice me, but it was impossible."Serena," Malia called, standing up and blocking my path."Please, leave me alone," I whispered."Serena, please..." she begged."Go away, for the sake of-""We need to talk about Dandara."My body tensed, and my mind spun in a million directions. "How did you find me?" I asked, my voice trembling. I was scared and confused, their presence here was a total shock.Malia took a step forward, her expression serious but kind. "We spent two weeks looking
Malia's POVI was shocked. I couldn't believe he was actually doing this. I thought it could be anything else at first, but now... damn! He had admitted it. He was really with her and was willing to harm her.My heart beats hard in my chest and I bury my face in Jaden's chest, crying. "Jaden, my daughter," I sob."We'll find her, love, I promise," he kisses my forehead. "We'll bring our little girl home, I promise.""Ah, shit," Damon cursed, punching the wall with force. "How could he have the nerve? How are we going to deal with this?"As Jaden tried to comfort me, I knew we needed to act quickly. Paul was unpredictable and dangerous, and now that he had our daughter, we couldn't hesitate. I needed to find a way for us to join them without Paul knowing.----SERENAI was nervous as I drove to the location indicated by Paul. My heart was racing, filled with fear and anger mixed. How did things come to this? I just wanted to resolve everything, end this madness he had created.I parked
As we approached, we heard muffled sounds of Serena pleading and Paul's sinister laughter. My heart beat faster, but I couldn't let fear paralyze me. We had to be quick and precise.Damon was the first to act, kicking down the door with a powerful kick. Paul turned abruptly, his eyes shining with surprise and anger. He dropped Serena, who fell to the floor, sobbing."Enough, Paul," Jaden growled, moving towards him. "This ends now."Paul laughed, but the laughter was devoid of joy. "You really think you can stop me? I have powers you can't even imagine.""Well, you missed out on a few things by leaving too early," Jaden muttered, glaring at him angrily. He raised his hand, murmuring a spell, but before he could finish, Damon leaped onto him, knocking him to the ground. The fight began there, fierce and intense. Paul used his strength and newfound powers, while Jaden used his super strength and Damon fought with skill and determination.I ran over to Serena, helping her up. "Are you ok
I was so relieved to have found Dandara again. I mean, the feeling of having my daughter in my arms was so unique. The quadruplets were together, being well taken care of, happy - since they don't understand what's happening around us. But, Dandara is here with me. She was so cute sleeping in my arms, calmly.She must be tired. Paul had her for a whole week and I still fear the things he might have done to her. Her little arms are bruised, she has a purple mark on her left cheek and her wrists are hurt. Surely, he tied her up.I kiss her forehead and huddle closer, pulling her to me, leaning against the window with my eyes closed. I was so worried about her that I hadn't been sleeping well for several days. I needed some tranquility now, so I closed my eyes and allowed myself to relax on the bench.When I opened them again, I was no longer inside the car. I was in a beautiful and flowered garden. I knew this place. I looked around and saw Jaden for the first time. Is this where we foun
When we arrived at the pack, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. The first thing we did was call the doctor - even though it was nighttime - and we took her to the infirmary room - after letting Damon go and telling him he could go to sleep, since Jaden ended up feeling sick for the rest of the trip.It was me, Serena, and Jaden, anxious in the room while the doctor examined every bruise on my little one. The guards were furious to see Paul, and we ordered them to lock him up in a cell.As the doctor examined Dandara, I watched his every move with a mix of anxiety and hope. Serena sat beside me, crushing her own hands."Is she going to be okay?" I asked, my voice almost failing. Jaden stopped by my side and pulled me into a hug. We were all so worried about her.The doctor looked at me, his eyes showing understanding. "The purple marks are bruises. Fortunately, nothing seems to be broken. She needs rest and care, but she will recover."I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling tears run do
Completely different from what I thought would happen, Jaden rose again, moving away from between my legs and returning to my breasts. His firm hand held one, while he sucked and nibbled the other, making me moan and arch my back. My core pulsed and I gasped.I moaned, my whole body trembling with his touch, which felt so precise and unique. I placed my hands on his shoulders and threw my head back, feeling his tongue circle around my nipple. I bit my lips, trying not to scream, even though the sensation was so intense.Alternating between one breast and the other — sometimes with his hand, sometimes with his mouth — he teased me, playing with me, making every tiny part of my body suffer with a great electric charge. He teased, sucked, licked, and lightly nibbled my nipples until they were completely erect, making my core pulse as I wrapped my leg around his waist to grind against him.Jaden ran his hand all over my body, tracing every tiny part of me in a delightful way. He slid his h
Jaden was so good in bed, he knew exactly what to do, how to act. I held onto him, feeling lightheaded. My vision blurred, my mouth hung open, and I gasped, feeling a shiver run through my body.I just let him do whatever he wanted. I moaned, squeezing him tighter and tighter, scratching his wrists that held me firmly as he went deeper and deeper, taking everything from me for himself.He knew how to satisfy me. He knew everything. Jaden knew me like the back of his hand.A guttural moan escaped his throat as he thrust one last time, filling me completely with his seed.I felt him filling me with his warm liquid. I moaned and closed my eyes, savoring the sensation.Our chests heaved. I took a deep breath, pulling air into my lungs, and licked my lips.“My God, I love you so much,” Jaden murmured, leaning down to press his forehead against mine.Jaden stood up slowly, careful not to hurt me. He moved just enough to pick me up in his arms, holding me tenderly as he headed to the bathroom
20 YEARS LATER“Darling?” I called as I opened Jaden’s office door.“Beautiful.” He smiled warmly at me. “What do you need?”“Nothing,” I murmured, smiling back. “I just missed you.”“Well, lucky for you, I’m finishing up my work now,” he said, grumbling.“Well, even if you hadn’t finished, I would have insisted you stop.” I said, leaning over his office chair. His hands moved to my hips, pulling me closer.His lips met mine, and he drew me in, guiding my legs to either side of his hips. For the past 20 years, Jaden and I couldn’t keep our hands off each other. It was almost as if our bond was continually renewing itself, which was pretty incredible.Our kisses deepened, and he stood up from the chair with me still wrapped around him, placing me on top of his desk. Jaden's fingers traced every inch of my body.“Jaden, we’re running late,” I murmured, feeling him plant kisses all over my neck and chest.“No one will mind, Malia,” he whispered, as I dug my nails into his shoulders.Jade
Two months later…The pain overwhelmed me completely. It was early morning, and I groaned as I got up and placed my feet on the cold floor of my room.“It’s time, Malia,” Fawn said in my head.“Oh my God. Not again,” I groaned.“This time, with just one baby, we can have a natural birth,” Fawn said, excited.“Oh, no! It… it must hurt,” I whimpered.“Malia, we’re strong, dear,” she winked at me. “We’ll manage. We always do. Look at everything we’ve been through,” she sighed.I nodded as another wave of pain hit me, and I groaned while getting out of bed to try and go to the bathroom, only to find water running down my legs and dripping onto the floor.Jaden jumped up, startled, and turned on the bedside lamp. “W-what?” He seemed to be trying to process what was happening.“Dear, I’m in labor,” I said, biting my cheek.“We need to go to the hospital,” he said, jumping out of bed and searching for things I didn’t understand.“Call the doctor, Jaden,” I grumbled. “And your mother. Call bo
I frowned, my gaze shifting between the two women. Sophie’s eyes were downcast, her hands trembling slightly as she kept them clasped. I had never seen her like this before — so vulnerable, so frightened. A shiver ran down my spine.“What’s going on?” I asked, my tone now more serious. “Is something wrong?”Sophie finally raised her head, her eyes meeting mine. They were filled with so much emotion — fear, hope, regret. It was as if she was carrying a weight that was crushing her from within.“Jaden,” she whispered, her voice wavering. “There’s something you need to know… something I should have told you a long time ago.”My heart began to race. Malia squeezed my hand gently, a gesture of support, but I could see the concern in her eyes too. Okay, something was starting to feel very wrong here.“Just tell me,” I urged, trying to keep my voice steady. “What is it?”Sophie took a deep breath, her chest heaving as if she was about to dive into the deepest, darkest part of the ocean. “I…
I was determined. Today would be the day I would reveal everything to everyone. Finally, Jaden would know that Sophie was his biological mother, the one who had been prevented from raising him due to the cruelty of others.When Sophie entered the room to bring my breakfast, she looked as calm and composed as ever. She walked in with a tray and a smile on her face, but there was something in her eyes that made me feel it was the right moment."Good morning, Queen Malia," Sophie said, placing the tray on the table beside the bed. "As always, I prepared your coffee myself.""Good morning, Sophie," I replied, watching her closely. "Actually, I need to talk to you about something very important."Sophie raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised, and sat on the edge of the bed. "What happened? It sounds serious.""It is serious," I confirmed, looking at her firmly.I hesitated for a moment, trying to find the right words to express my discovery. Like it or not, it was something serious to share,
I woke up with the weak afternoon sun filtering through the curtains, feeling a restless sleep overtaking me. I barely noticed when I fell asleep. The time seemed to drag on throughout the afternoon, and every minute I waited for the results was a torment. I looked at Jaden, who was still sleeping peacefully beside me, and carefully got up to avoid waking him. I dressed quickly before anyone could appear and left my room, checking to make sure I was alone. I descended the castle’s corridors, my heart racing with each step toward the doctor’s office. Each footfall seemed to echo in my chest, reflecting the mix of anxiety and hope I felt. The need for confirmation and the fear of facing a painful truth was almost paralyzing. When I finally reached the doctor’s office door, I knocked softly and entered as soon as he gave a brief “come in.” He was sitting at his desk with a grave expression, which instantly sent a shiver down my spine. “Majesty, the results are ready,” he said, his
"Why do you want to know about my mother?" he asks, his eyes dropping to me with a gleam. "She died, as you know, and—" "No, dear. Your real mother. Didn't your father tell you about her?" I ask. "Oh, that..." He clears his throat and looks at the ceiling. "Dad didn’t give me any photos or descriptions. But he said her name was Sophie, that she lived in our pack, but they were forbidden to live their love after they turned eighteen, when they hadn’t discovered they were mates." He pauses slightly, my eyes widening with each new piece of information. "So, my grandfather took my mother away. They reunited sometime later and spent one night together, making love. The next day, my father found his true mate, and my mother completely disappeared again. Dad tried to move on with his bond, but a year later, when I was only three months old, my mother showed up at his door, begging him to raise me." "What do you mean?" I frown. "Why?" "My mother had a cruel mate, love." His fingers twi
Soph had a mother’s love. She took care of me with a tenderness I had only experienced in my childhood. Now, after my bath, I'm finishing my chicken sandwich while she brushes my hair in front of the mirror in my room.“You have beautiful hair,” she says, gently pulling it back to keep it from falling into my face.“Thank you,” I smile. “So, is the weather here always like this? Does it change so quickly?”“Ever since I got here, yes.” She nods.“So, you’re not from around here?” I ask, surprised.“No,” she laughs. “I’m from the other side.”“Where from?” I ask.“Well…” She clears her throat. “I think this is the only place I’ve really put down roots. I used to travel a lot,” she stammers a bit.“That must have been hard to do with a child,” I murmur.“Actually, no.” Her cheeks flush a little. “I did it alone. Reuniting with my son felt like receiving a gift from the goddess.”“That’s so touching,” my eyes sparkle. “Why did you leave him?”“Oh, I had a problem with my mate, who wasn’t
The days have been almost all the same. I think the pregnancy has made me slower and sleepier, so by the time I wake up, Jaden has already left to start his work as king.I know he's trying to protect me because of the baby, but I want to help while I still can since, during my postpartum recovery, it will be impossible to do much. Besides, we'll have a newborn to take care of.A week ago, we found out that I'm pregnant with a boy. He’s huge, a bit bigger than the twins were, since he doesn’t have to share the womb with anyone else. I can already imagine that he’ll be a big, strong man when he grows up.I sighed as I placed my feet on the cold floor of my room and shivered. A cold front had arrived in the city, and I couldn’t quite handle it. I discovered that the climate here is much milder than in my old pack — which is several miles away from here.I was wrapped in one of Jaden’s hoodies, which was several sizes too big and reached halfway down my thighs, along with a pair of my sw
I smiled widely when I saw Jaden. I walked over to him and gently threw myself into his arms. “Hi, dear. How was your day?”“Good,” I murmured. “But it's even better to be home.”The clock on the nightstand read 7:30 PM, which meant we had spent much more time out than we had planned. Anyway, today had been wonderful, and I felt more connected to the culture of the country.“And how was it here?” I asked, looking up at him.“Tiring,” he said, brushing a strand of my hair from my eyes.“You know you can always call on me for support,” I murmured. “I also have responsibilities in this pack.”“For now, you’re busy producing organs and tissues; I think you can take a break for a while,” he joked, and I laughed, rolling my eyes.“I still want to see the kids before dinner,” I said.“I stopped by earlier; they were in the bath, and I decided not to disturb them,” he murmured. “I was waiting for you.”I smiled at him, leaning in for a chaste kiss. As we embraced, I heard the children’s loud,
