“Roman.”Roman ignores his father and keeps walking. Alpha Kai is literally stomping after him at this point but he doesn’t stop or slow his face. The older Alpha lets out a harsh bark, “Roman!”Roman ignores his father, walks into the room and slams the door. I place a hand on Alpha Kai’s shoulder and feel his annoyance make his body tense. He pulls in a shallow breath, lets out a huff of air, and turns to give me a nod before walking away.I stand at the door for a while after he’s gone, just feeling for Roman’s mood through the mate bond and trying to decide if I won't make the wrong decision if I also go in there.Hunter had a child all this while.The son he beat me up for not having. The son he violated me repeatedly for not having.Eight years. I spent eight years suffering for a son that had been born and was alive, but just hadn’t been born through me.I don’t know how that makes me feel. It makes me feel dizzy. I don’t know if i’m to laugh or cry or just straight up keep on
For the next three days I barely see anything of Elara or Axios. I know Alpha Kai has put them in rooms on the ground floor of the mansion because Fen tells me.I know Axios is very attached to his mother because Maya mentions it over lunch one time.I also know Elara has been seeking an audience with Roman but she has been denied.No one needs to tell me this. I read it from the letter she slipped under our door.I look at the pastel pink envelope and read the two words written boldly on it, “Please Roman.”The folded piece of paper that contains the letter itself reads, “I know I don’t have the words to apologize for what I've done Roman, and I know you want explanations, please give me the chance to offer them.I’m sorry.Yours, Elara.”Fey lets out a low growl in my head as I read that last line but I tell her to calm down. That’s just how people write letters. Elara was signing her name off, nothing else.“Luna Scarlett.”I throw the letter on the table like it’s hot coals and sn
I blink and stare at the doctor inquisitively, huffing lightly in slight confusion. “Why would I be worried? This isn’t the first time I’ve done this.”The doctor nods and reaches to pick up the test again. He smiles as he looks up and turns the test to face me. The plus sign is there and I roll my eyes though I’m smiling.“Congratulations once again Luna Scarlett.”I nod, grinning lightly, and fix the doctor with a mild stare, “Thank you. Now tell me why you asked if I was worried. You popped that question on me all of a sudden so don’t tell me it was nothing.”The doctor chuckles and something warm ripples through the air as he asks, “Well are you, worried I mean?”I feel the words batter against the shields I have put up. This is something I promised myself not to think of, but for some reason, I feel this is my sign to.I nod and feel panic make my eyes smart.“I am, worried I mean.”The warmth and excitement in the air seem to dissipate after that and the doctor stares at me wit
Hi readers. So I saw a comment today where a long-time reader indicated some confusion and displeasure at how the book is currently going. I’d like to clear some things out and also apologize to her and any other reader who has felt confused about some things so far, I’m really sorry. I didn’t plan on setting down some plot points and then abandoning them along the way. I also didn’t plan to give an abrupt ending the way I kind of did. The book wasn’t performing so well up until last month so I was asked to end it. Of course, I couldn't tell the readers that, and it really affected me too knowing that the book wasn’t doing too well according to the Goodnovel team and statistics. I planned to end the book, then read through and elongate it from within the already written chapters, clearing plot holes, fixing any confusion, making the whole story give a wholesome feeling. But last month, the book’s performance suddenly picked up, and I was asked to continue it, so I had to look for a
“The council has decided that it can no longer take a seating position on the current matters in the pack.”Roman’s father stares steadily at me as a member of the council addresses the room.“We need Alpha Roman to tell us what he plans to do with his mate who has just been rescued after eight years of her being abducted. The Alpha’s silence over this is uncharacteristic and uncalled for. Elara was a part of the Ironclaw pack before she was abducted on what had to be the worst night in recent Ironclaw history.Now, by a pure miracle of the moon goddesses' making, she has been found and brought back, but the Alpha is ignoring her!She was his mate! It’s…”“Uncalled for, unusual, not what he should do, not what you think he should do, not what you want him to do.”I avert my eyes from Alpha Kai and turn to face Councilwoman Greta. She replaced Myrtle after she left and now it seems she has made it her job to make me feel like shit whenever we sit at council meetings.I’m not always he
My body aches pleasantly by the time we’re done and Roman is kissing my neck in soft slow motions, circling the bite marks that send a thrum of pleasure to my core each time his tongue sweeps that area.I let out soft sounds, pleasant sounds that can’t be mistaken for what they are.I turn to face Roman and throw my legs over his unclad waist, literally bear-hugging him and letting the sound of his laughter ring in my ears and leave a smile on my face.“Did you miss me that much Mrs Collins?”Roman’s voice is a deep rumble that sets my body thrumming pleasantly again so I nod, burying myself into the warmth of his body and not caring about what I look like right now.Roman kisses me, his hands roaming my body as he turns to face me and his lips seal against mine. He makes me melt even more against him and blanks my mind out.I needed this.I needed this more than I knew I did.Roman’s gaze is warm and kind as he stares down at me, his ice-blue orbs glowing warmly, “All better now?”I
Hunter is pacing in the waiting room when I get there and I can't help the sneer that lines my face. He has some nerve! That’s one thing I'll give him. He actually has the nerve to come here and show his face to me again. I can feel the anger lining Hunter’s face, the annoyance bunching his shoulders, and the impatience in his prance. One sentence spills out my mouth when he turns and meets my eyes, “Who let you in?” Hunter scoffs and chuckles, running his hand through his hair, “I come to see you and the only thing you can ask is who let me in?” I nod, “Who, the fuck, let you in? And did I ask you to come see me, Hunter? I don’t want to see you, get out.” I can feel venom leaking from my tone and I had promised myself I wouldn't be this way. I promised myself I wouldn't act like I was angry or bitter about anything. I wouldn’t act like the sight of him annoyed me, like his presence made images flash behind my eyes. I promised myself that I wouldn't act in a way that showed him h
Scarlett bursts into the room with panic leaking off her face. She bypasses the council members, bypasses Fen and the one person I thought she’d be happy to see, and comes straight to me. She doesn’t have to lean down much to whisper into my ears yet the only thing she says is, “He knows.” I frown and look up at Scarlett but there’s a certainty in her eyes. Mixed with the slight signs of panic and breathlessness, there’s certainty in the eyes of my mate and I don't doubt her for a second. I still have to ask though, my voice a low whisper, “Knows what?” A flicker of mild amusement threatens to make Scarlett’s lips curl but she leans low again and answers, “Hunter, he knows. He’s just acting like he doesn’t.” An annoyed voice interrupts us, “Does the Luna plan to take any more of our time?” Greta’s comment makes Scarlett’s aura peak but I tilt my head to whisper into her ear, “Ignore her.” Scarlett nods and straightens up, facing the council, “I’m sorry for the disturbance. I ha
