GAIA

I stayed in the room while the doctors and the nurses did their thing. I couldn't bear to leave her again and from the tears in her eyes, she didn't want me to leave either.

“The results would be ready soon.”

I gave the doctor a small nod and thanked him as he walked out of the room.

“Hey.” I sat beside her and held her hand lightly “How are you? How do you feel?”

She didn't say anything. She just stared at me like I could see her thoughts, rather ready her thoughts. I wish I could though, so she won't have to speak. There were bruises on her lips and I don't even want to know how they got there.

“What is it? Talk to me, I can hear you.”

“I'm sorry. I should have known better.” Her quiet voice said.

Hearing that apology from her broke my heart and I had to turn my head away from her as the tears poured out of my eyes.

“Don’t say that. Don't say that, please. I should be the one saying that I should have known better. You told me, you warned me that he will come for you but

    LUCIANKira started working immediately on the information we had. Now, I knew that the only reason why River took Nathan was because he wanted his delusion of a family to be complete. Beneath the picture of River, Nathan had began drawing the picture of someone. The face wasn't complete, probably because he ran out of time but he wrote the word “spy” in very small letters. Kira was she knew who noticed it and showed it to me. I have such a smart boy. So now I know that he spy motion wasn't a goose chase.

    EVELYN KIra was right. I was pregnant..I also didn't believe it when the doctor told me..Id given birth to my daughter, Lana last week. She was the most beautiful thing to ever exist and I felt like I'd fallen in love all over again. She came out looking like Lucian which pissed me off so much. “According to my father, a girl has not been born into this family in ten centuries. But you, my Queen, gave me a daughter. You made me a special father and I love you for that.”“So you weren't a special father when you had us?” Nathan asked. Lucian barely turned around look at him. “Shoo, everyone has seen you. I'm speaking to my wife and my daughter.”I laughed..”She’s going to be so spoiled.”Lucian was very good at spoiling kids and that's why Lucian was going to be just as his father was. Spoilt. “You can say that again. She's going to be daddy's girl. My little princess.”She made me happy and she made all of us happy. She was a blessing. Lucian had to leave because a guard call

    Henry walked out of his office that afternoon, thinking about home. Actually, thinking about Elodie.She had been on his mind lately and he didn’t know if that was a good thing or not. His heart longed for her when she wasn’t near. His heart beat for her when he thought about her like a deer panting for the nearest source of water to quench the thirst he was feeling.But he didn’t want to accept it. How could he, when he had messed up badly and gotten some other woman pregnant and even had the guts to bring her into the house?Maybe that had been the biggest mistake of his life. But at some point, Sophia had been the love of his life as well. She was the one he’d love first and she was the one who had shown him what it meant to love. So he couldn’t push her aside when she showed up after all these years.He didn’t go home after work that day. His friends had called to meet at their usual spot and normally, he would have rejected the offer but with the things on his mind, he needed a

    Elodie made dinner. She'd spent the entire evening cooking after waking up. Her medication had knocked her out. She was bored and her entertainment for the evening had not arrived yet. Abigail was up in the room doing whatever witches do and she wanted to do something. Knowing that I very liked homemade food, she started cooking. His favorite food changed with the season and she'd heard his mother telling the maids that they should pick up some radishes from the market. That helped her know what to prepare. If he was going to call in love with her, he's going to fall so deep. Her back had been healing, she'd been going to the hospital for constant check ups and examinations so they could tell her if she was going to need another surgery because she couldn't even dress up in front of him. As much as it didn't want to hurt her, it did because she was basically having to cover up in front of him and it annoyed her. He'd noticed it at some point, when she was about to go shower. “Wh

    LUCIAN I had a raging headache that was about to burst through my head. I'd been in this seat for almost ten hours, from one meeting to another and I'd been talking and talking and it felt like it would never end. With the recent actions of the Argan Cult, I had no other choice but to start thinking of ways to protect my wolves. “So what are we going to do if we can't fight them with weapons?” “We have to ask for help from the witches, Alpha. We can't do this on our own."That was something I didn't want to hear. “Don’t even bring that up. Why can't we do it on our own? They're just men, aren't they?” I knew that they weren't just men but then I didn't want to ask for help from those people. “Alpha, I know you have reservations when it comes to the witches but then you have to think about how they could help us. I mean, we can't fight them on our own. What better way to fight people who have powers with their kind?” I knew that they were making sense but I didn't want to hear

    ALLY I woke up with a smile on my face the next morning. It was the best morning I've had in the last two months. I knew something good had happened and waking up in a bed next to my mother even made it better. I didn't want to leave her to sleep alone so I asked Alpha Dimitri for permission to stay next to her last night and he let me. As soon as he said yes, I didn't waste any time grabbing my things and running to the bed. We talked for a while about a couple of things and I'm so glad that she didn't ask me about my intimate relationship with him or my wedding night. It would have been so obvious that I was lying because I didn't know anything and she would have caught on to my lie. She always did. We talked, watched some TV, had some late-night snacks then went to bed a little after midnight. We never did this back home. My father didn't like happiness. He would have our heads if he ever saw that we were doing a thing like that. He wanted us to be sad and depressed every time

    EDEN I stood there as she made whatever incantations she knew. I had to undress while she marked my body in blood and danced around me, smearing the ground around me in white powder. Then she made a loud shout and then she fell to the ground. The sudden urge to throw up came up and I felt dizzy. It felt like I could feel something moving in me and I could feel like my legs were moving when they were not..The urge heightened and I finally wrenched and that was when I saw her again. She looked around like she was confused before she finally understood what was going on. This was the first time I was actually seeing her. Well, I had seen her before but that was the time I woke up in my car so I could barely remember her face or recall anything that happened. She looked nothing like I expected. She wore a red gown and her hair flowed down her back, she had a face full of makeup like she just came out of a salon. She was beautiful. So beautiful. I'd been expecting something less

    EDEN As she left the room, she turned back for a moment. “But remember, you must not see Belle until after the ritual. The whole point is for her to feel powerful, if you see her, it will defeat the entire purpose of everything.”I nodded and closed the door behind her. I picked up my phone and dialed Alicia's number immediately. She didn't pick even after the third ring and I figured that she could be busy. All I had to do was get the kids to Alicia's for now and then somehow, I would get Roman out of the house .Getting him out of the house was going to be the hard part because he was going to ask questions about what was going on and why I needed him to take Roman with him. After what happened, I doubt he would feel free with letting me be alone. But I would have to find a way to get him to leave me. My phone rang and I put it to my ear, knowing that it was Alicia calling back. “Hey sorry I missed your call. I was putting the twins to sleep. What's going on? Do you need any

    THIRD PERSON POVHe left Alpha Dimitri's house in anger, storming back to the car and getting in. He wasn't exactly angry that the Alpha didn't take his daughter as a wife. He had been hoping for it too because he knew the Alpha had a wife already and no responsible man would marry two women just months apart. So he was grateful for that at least. But he was still mad about the fact that his daughter was pregnant. Nothing could change that. But another thing that wouldn't change was the fact that his daughter was going to be the other woman and that child would never be the heir. That was something he couldn't allow. He had a reputation to uphold and he wouldn't let this situation mess that up. Since Alpha Dimitri couldn't marry his daughter, then he had to do something he didn't want to. He didn't believe in abortion and he didn't ever think that he would ask his princess to do a thing like this but right now, he didn't have a choice. He couldn't let such a thing happen and me

    EDEN I knew from the moment she came from the stairs that something was wrong. From the way she walked to the way she spoke to Roman, I could tell that something was different. Off. Then she looked at me as Roman walked away. Then I confirmed. “Why are you here?”She looked shocked that I had recognised her because her eyes widened.But she knew that there was no need to deny it. “Is it you or is it her?"“It’s me, she's having problems coming out. What are you doing here?" She seemed to relax when she figured out that it was me and she chuckled and fell back on the chair behind her. “So it's you. It's about time we had a discussion. Have a seat."“Don't act like we're friends all of a sudden. What are you doing in my house? And what are you doing in Quinn's body? Where is she?!” What the hell did she do with Quinn?“You might want to reduce your voice. We don't want any of the maids or guards hearing anything about this. Have a seat and then we can talk.” I let out a heavy

    LUCIAN At this point, I was being forced what I originally didn't want to. Find out who the mole is. There was no way I would know who told Golden Blade King that we were coming because basically everyone was there that night. All the guards, all the maid and the elders knew so how would I be able to single one person out? “A test.” I looked at Kira as she stood over me while I thought. “What did you say?”“A test, Lucian. You can spread some silly rumor and then watch who leaves the pack. Before, we didn't know that there was a spy but now that we do, we'll be on the look out.”That seemed like it would make sense. I should definitely try that. “What should I say?”“Let's do something outrageous. Let's say the prince has returned with some other kids and they're going to tell us what happened and even take us back to where they were being held.”That made sense and sounded like it would work. “Fine then, you can get on that. I don't know how you want to make it seem natural th

    EVELYN I watched her as she walked away, not knowing what exactly to say. My head cleared and I just stood there, replaying her words in my head. Had I heard right? She was behind the attack. Tears gathered in my eyes and I wondered if I should go after her and ask her to explain herself. Why did she have to go that far just to get back at me? Why did she have to do that? If she wanted to kill me, she could have just come up to me and done it without having to put Nathan's life at risk. What if something had happened to him? What if Lucian hadn't come there in time and I had no place to go? Tears fell from my eyes and I slowly made my way upstairs to my room. I wanted to be alone for now, training could wait.

    The sun was coming down when Wayne came out of the building. He'd had a long day and he couldn't wait to get home and lie in his bed. He just wanted to rest after the events of the past week. “Mr Wayne!”“Mr Wayne! Look here! Do you have anything to say concerning the rumors?!” “Are you truly married?"“What is your wife like?” There was a swarm of reporters outside his building and any sleep that Wayne was feeling before was long gone. They were bombarding him with questions and his bodyguards had to come to his aid by pushing them away from him so they wouldn't hurt him. “One question at a time. Calm down.” He finally managed to calm them down and listen to them. “Mr Wayne, what do you have to say about the rumors that you're married?” Wayne sighed. He knew it was going to come out sooner or later. He just wished it would have happened on a day when he wasn't so tired. “I’m happy to assure you that they're all rumors. I'm still a bachelor and I haven't ever been married in

    ROMANI didn't go anywhere today. I wanted to spend the day with my kids, just being with them and playing with them. School was back in session and it felt good that they came back home to me. Since it was just me for now, I didn't have a choice but to look after every aspect of their life even down to little details. Quinn says I should let the maids handle it but I can't.

My father didn't exactly give two shits when it came to me and I didn't want a life like that for my kids. I wanted them to know that their father thought about them and loved them.

    ALPHA DIMITRIShe had fallen asleep at some point during the night. After I'd pulled her closer to me, I could feel her body temsedd and even though I told her to relax, I could still hear her rapid breathing.I'd quietly gotten out of bed so as not to wake her up and to disappear before she did. Just as I was done dressing up, there was a knock on the door and I cursed underneath my breath, wondering who the hell that could be and what they could want. Luckily, Ally didn't wake up and I rushed to the door to stop the person from knocking again. “What?!” I spat. It was a maid and she moved back a bit at my tone. “Good morning, Alpha. My apologies for the disturbance but there's someone here to see you."“At this time?” It wasn't even eight in the morning “Who the hell could it be?" “It’s Princess Violet.”What? Violet?
