“What? Are you kidding me? My mom, your mate? That is the greatest lie I've ever heard!”“Trust me, Laura, I'm not a man to joke around. No matter the powers I seek, I will never lie about my mate, or my child. ““Hold on a minute, I still don't think I understand anything of what you are saying. You say mom is your mate. Does this mean she is the woman you mentioned who ran away from you?”“Yes, she's the one.”No! There's no way this is real. It can't be. I shook my head violently. “Laura, I know I don't deserve you, but trust me, I will do anything to bring her back, and you too.”“What are you saying? What have my mother and I got to do with you? Maybe you didn't get your facts right. My mom is married to another man.”“I know, and I also heard he's about getting her divorced. He clearly doesn't deserve her.”I gasped in shock while staring at Alpha Dominique. “You are so unbelievable. Who made you a judge over my mother's marriage? You of all people have no reason to judge him!
I couldn't bear the words my so-called husband said about my daughter. I believed I had endured too much humiliation from him, and so I have finally decided I will never let him humiliate her even more. “Charles Newman, how dare you say that about my daughter? You and your daughter are the reason I never took good care of my daughter. My daughter hates my guts, and all of this was because of you? But now you have the guts to tell me my daughter should have been the one dead?”“Yes, she should have died. In reality, she's innocent, but we know how sly your daughter is under that pretence of being innocent.”“Mark my words, Charles, I will never forgive you for what you just said!” With that, I walked out of the room. I ran straight into the woods and shifted into my wolf form. I ran as far as my legs could take me. While I ran, I kept thinking about everything that happened way before I met Charles. I had a mate, a man I thought was everything I ever wanted in a man. It was all his
“Have you heard from Ciara yet?” “Not a word or even a trace from her,” my delta replied. “What about Chris?”“Ever since he escaped during the battle, we haven't heard from him, either.”Strange, Ciara had suddenly disappeared without a trace, Chris had also used the medium to escape. My mate is missing. Things have been getting hideous lately. But currently, I can't bring myself to bother about Chris or Ciara. I want to believe that they are safe wherever they were. I had searched for Ciara, but there's no news about where she may be. Amanda, who happened to be her assistant, is also missing. I would like to believe they escaped from the pack during the battle. Chris, though, gives me a little concern. I had no idea where he'd gone, and I couldn't tell if he was going to make a comeback as an enemy or if he was never going to come back to the pack. Right at this moment, my only priority is Laura. I need to head to Alpha Dominique's pack to get her. For some reason, I believed
I was caught in a flummoxed state as I watched Mrs Shiella yell at Alpha Dominique. What shocked me most was when I saw the Almighty Alpha Dominique, stay silent whole he was brimg6 screamed and yelled out. This can't be something ordinary. I can tell that there's more to what I was seeing. Could it be that they know each other somewhere? Buti doubt that was possible. "Shiela, you can blsne me and I accept. Everything is my fault, but I promise that I was never going to hurt our child."I blinked rapidly hearing this from Alpha Dominique. Their child? He had a child with Mrs Shiella. "Best the hell is going on here? Can someone please explain to me so I can understand what all of this is about?"I took a glance at Mrs Shiella, and then to Alpha Dominique, hoping one of them will be cool headed enough to telle what was really happening. "Xander?" I froze when I heard her call my name. This was the first time I actually felt the warmth from my mate. I slowly turned around towards h
“Shiela, I know I've hurt you terribly, and I'm not worthy of asking for your forgiveness now, but still, I want you to forgive me. I'm not saying that I'm perfect, but I need your forgiveness.”“There's nothing to forgive. But I think you need to explain to me why you killed my daughter!” I yelled at him with so much anger. “Your daughter? Do you mean Annabel? Is Annabel really your daughter? Dominique asked, wide-eyed. “No, she's not, but she was mine!” An angry growl came from behind me, and without having to guess, I could tell who it was. I quickly turned around and there stood Charles, bearing his fangs at Dominique. Dominique also, bared his fangs at him. Hearing the loud growls echoed in the hall thunderously, there's no doubt that there's going to be a fight. “You killed my daughter, and unfortunately, Laura turned out to be your daughter. You killed my poor child! Even if I had to die in the end, I would take my revenge on you,” Charles said in rage. “Your daughter dese
“Laura, Laura, please wait,” I didn't wait to hear from him but rather stormed out of the room and went straight to mine. I was angry, not just at him, but at everything that's happened to me. Just when I thought things would get better, it only got worse. I never would have expected that things would go much worse for me. I walked into my room and banged the door shut behind me. “Arrrgh!” I yelled out aloud. At that moment, tears gathered around my eyes. All the tears I had been holding back on came pouring out of my eyes. Whose fault was all this? Who am I to blame? If it were to be before, I would have blamed my mom and probably my dad Charles for everything that's happened, but as it stands. I can't blame anyone right now. My mom had difficulties. I wondered what I would have done if I were to be in her shoes. She had been holding it, not just with dad Charles, but with the man who was supposed to be her mate as well. I was no exception. I also have a mate who I want to be aw
“Where are you going?”“What do you mean, where am I going? I'm leaving this goddess' forsaken place. My daughter is dead. What else do you expect me to do here?”“I…I … Understand you, Charles, but-”“Don't say shit next to me. You think I don't know the games you play, huh? Bitch!” Charles roared in anger. Just then, the door flew open. “How dare you call her a bitch!” Dominique said aloud as he stormed into the room.“What are you doing here?” I asked as I rushed over to him. “To take you away from this ungrateful bastard, of course. How dare he call you a bitch after all you've done for him?”“That is not your call. This is between me and Charles, and you have no right to meddle in it.”“Sheila, you have no idea just how much I care about you. I understand you are still mad at me, but you deserve better than this bastard in front of me!”“Ah, I see. Seems you two are here to gang up on me, huh? Like I said, you are nothing but a bitch!” Instantly, Dominique brushed past me and
I woke up only to find myself wrapped in strong arms. I smiled, knowing it was him. I tried to get up from bed, but Xander quickly held me down. “Where are you going? Just stay with me a little, will you?” “But I can't stay in bed now, it's morning and I want to see my mom.” “Your mom's okay, Alpha Dominique is taking care of her.” “I still need to see her, especially when he's with her.” Xander had his eyes closed all the time he spoke, but he slowly opened his eyes at my last statement. “You still don't trust him, do you?” I sat up straight and curled my legs to my chest. “I don't know. I don't know the details of what really happened between them two, but one thing is for sure, and that is, I'm not sure my mom is ready to accept him yet. I mean, there's dad Charles, and they've been married for years. I think she will need time to heal from her divorce. “I understand your mom, but then, I do not trust Charles anyway. Let me rephrase, he's no good for your mom.” I don't
****Laura's POV***# A Year later It hasn't been easy, being a white wolf and Luna to the great Knighter's pack. The destruction caused by my disappearance was unimaginable, but then, I'm glad the pack is yet again stable.While I was in my room, preparing for my Luna duties, I suddenly heard a knock on the door. “Please come in, Sarah,” I said without having to look at the door to see who it was. Sarah walked into the room, looking quite panicked. I creased my brow in a frown, wondering why she was looking that way. “What's happening, Sarah?”“The Alpha requests your presence in the pack hall, as there's something you must see.”I raised an instant brow and wondered what it could be. Since the maid had already informed me, it was better to go and find out what it really was, myself. Without wasting time, I stood up from my chair and headed out of my room quickly. The moment I approached the pack hall where meetings were conducted, I couldn't help but feel something Familiar and
****Xander's POV***She stood right in front of me while peering down at me, like I was the slave and she the master. Of course, she's my master. I took my gaze downwards, but there was no sign of pregnancy. Silly me, what was I expecting? It's been years and I still don't expect her to be pregnant still, unless I'm expecting to see her carry another man's child. Alpha Dominique and the rest of the men had left, leaving just me and Laura. “Why are you here?” I heard her ask. I was so lost in her eyes that I didn't realize she was actually asking me a question. “Are you going to keep staring at me or will you answer my question?”“Laura, my love. I thought you died.”“What are you doing here?”I shut my eyes and took a deep breath. Where should I start from? I never expected that I would actually see her here. When I opened my eyes, I could see her staring at me curiously and obviously waiting for an answer. “I wanted to end it all. I thought I would never see you again, and so I
***Xander's POV***Having made up my mind to sacrifice myself for the safety of my pack I ventured to Alpha Dominique's pack with all determination. While I drove down to the pack, I made sure there were no weapons with me because I know Alpha Dominique, and that is the fact that he respects sincerity. I'm certain that when he sees my sincerity, he would surely grant me that which I seek. That is what I wish, and I hope he would actually grant me that which I truly seek from him. Just as I had expected, the moment I got to Alpha Dominique's pack, I was met by his men, but they dared not approach. I believe they thought that I had decided to come take my revenge. “Alpha Xander, you're far from your pack. Are you really here to launch an attack on us?”The man whom I recognized as Dominique's beta asked. “I'm not here for an attack, but rather, in here to see your Alpha.”They all looked at me skeptically. I could tell that they didn't believe my words. “You don't have to be scared
***Laura's POV***Since I didn't want to waste that much time, I know I should go straight to the point.“Honey, where have you been?”My mom asked, while my dad stared at me curiously. I heaved a long sigh and told them everything that had happened.“Oh no! That evil witch! I swear I'm going to have her killed for what she did to my daughter!” My mom lashed out. I was strongly baffled because this was my first time seeing my mom that mad. I've never seen her get mad at anyone before.“I knew it! This is why I would forever Blake Alpha Xander. It was all his fault. If only he hadn't involved himself with that witch, all of this wouldn't have happened.”“You're all right. Presently, there's no one who wants her dead like I do. I want her to pay for what she's done, not just to me, but for causing the packs to go to war.”My mom and dad both stared at me with a surprised expression.“What? You know what happened here?” My dad inquired, looking quite taken aback.“Well, both packs are wi
***Laura's POV***“Miss Laura, Are you sure you are ready for this“I've made up my mind, Alpha Darius. Don't you think that if I don't move, things will get even worse than now“You're right. That's why I think it's best that you really put an end to the battle. It has lingered for far too long“I know that's why I'm trying my best to put it to an end. I'm afraid that if this continues, both Alpha will end up killing one another. And I will never forgive myself if that happens“I understand you. You should take care of yourself and stay safe“I will. I'll be leaving Kaden with Mrs. Prisca,I'll come back for him the moment I have succeeded in what I'm going for“You don't have to worry. Kaden is safe with us. I have arranged some men to go with you, just in case you really need help. But still, you can inform me if you really need my help“Alpha Darius, you really didn't have to do this much for me. This is my fight, and I should be fighting it alone“You are fighting alone, that's wh
*****Alpha Xander's POV***“What do you mean, our men are all injured?”“Alpha, I don't think we can go on anymore. The soldiers are still healing from the lady battle,” my delta explained. I walked up to him with fury burning in my eyes. “What do you think would happen? If we can't protect the pack border? I'm not worried about myself, but what about the pack members? Do you think Alpha Dominique would care about the pack members? All he wants is his daughter!”“I know Alpha, why don't we come to an agreement with Alpha and try searching for Luna once more?”“You think I'm not searching for her? Alpha Dominique isn't giving me time to search for Luna.”“Fuck! This is all the faults of Miss Ciara. Why did she have to come up with such devious Plans?”“This isn't the time to think about what Ciara did. Tell me, have you heard about the men I asked you to send you to keep a track on her?”“Yes Alpha, but it seems Miss Ciara had gone into hiding.”“What? How the hell did she get away f
***Laura's POV***I instantly felt weak on my knees the moment Alpha Darius told me about the Battle between Xander and my dad. So, the fight has been because of me. I can't imagine what they must have lost during the process. This was all my fault. What should I do now? I should have told my parents I was safe earlier, and waited until Kaden was older. Just what was I thinking? How was I supposed to revolve the issue on ground? What am I going to do now? This is all my fault! Shit!“Uhm, Laura, I know how you must feel. But you have to be brave yourself. I think the best thing to do is if you do not want this war to continue, then it is time to put a stop to it. Immediately, I raised my head up and faced Darius. “Tell me, how do I bring this to a stop?”Darius stared into my eyes as if I had said something strange. “Did you really mean it when you said you want to bring a stop to this?”“Of course, I mean it. I can't let them continue on this bloodbath, or can I?”“This is good,
**Laura's POV**While at home, Mrs. Prisca and I made dinner together. Alpha Darius dropped by and since he didn't tell us beforehand, we didn't make preparations for his coming. “Darius, what's happening at the pack? You seem quite busy recently.”“I'm sorry mom, I know I should have come home at the time I promised. But yea, you're right. I've been quite busy dealing with pack matters that I could hardly even have time for myself.”“Oh, dear, they must have been really stressed. Just what exactly are you busy about? The business perhaps?”“Well, if it has anything to do with the business, that would be quite understandable. It's about the battle between two packs that is unending. So many things have been destroyed, and yet it doesn't seem like it will ever come to an end,” Darius explained. I paused at that moment, wondering why there are two packs in each other's throats for years and I couldn't help but wonder what they are truly fighting about and if it's worth fighting for an
*****Laura's POV****While I was in the clinic, trying to prepare for the day, Ms. Athena walked in. “Oh my goodness! You look so heavy, Miss Athena,” I said, looking cheerful at Athena's growing bump. “It's all thanks to you. If it weren't for your discerning eye, I'm sure I would have taken my life, some months ago, thinking I was barren and wouldn't be able to have my child.”“Oh, come on, it's not because of me at all. I just did what I could.”“Exactly. All you had to do was touch my stomach and make it known to me that I was actually with child, and to this very moment, I can't even begin to tell you just how happy I am that I didn't change my mind about you. Maybe things would have taken a different turn for me. Or better yet, perhaps I would have lost my child due to my ignorance.”“And I'm still thankful that you chose to trust me, and today we'll be celebrating your safe delivery any moment from now,” I said with a smile splattered on my face.”“Oh, thank you so much!”As
