"Are you serious?!" It was the excitement in his voice that made his parents break out in a smile, the Luna letting out a small giggle."Yes You're allowed to throw a party but no crazy things and Valerie is basically in charge." The Luna gave her conditions and I watched my best friend nod along like a little child.Rohan was finally turning 18 and heh had always wanted a birthday party, we came to plead our case and his parents finally said yes."Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Hr punched the hair with so much happy vigor, "I love you guys so much!" And went ahead to suffocate them with a bear hug. "Calm down, You're still a kiddo to us." His father straightened and Rohan only rolled his eyes, "We will be gone for a few days only, don't sell off the pack in a bet like you did the last time." He warned and I held back my laughter.There was a time he did sell off the pack to the son of the neighboring pack. Fortunately for all of us, both alphas were childhood friends and taught t
Chapter 2"This can't be true.""I'm Afraid it's true, you should talk to the Luna about it and the father too, something can be worked out so the child doesn't suffer." He scribbled something on a note and handed it to me, "Your next appointment is due in a few days. Take care of yourself okay?"He placed the note in my hands and my feet found the exit but I was practically soulless. What was I going to do? How was I going to handle being a mother? What was I going to tell Rohan?Days passed and things were never the same again, I did get better, I stopped feeling nauseous all the time but I couldn't look anyone straight in the eyes again. Especially Rohan. I did everything I could to avoid him and he was getting irritated due to my behavior.One day as I helped the Luna sort out some important records, I was alone in the dining room and he pressed his hand against the page as I was about to turn it."What is your problem exactly Val? Why do you keep avoiding me?!" He growled at me,
Chapter 3"This is not what I ordered!! Take it back immediately!"I was stuck in my spot, I was very sure this was what she had ordered, I never messed up orders, "but ma'am…" I tried to get her attention but her hard gaze sent me shivering."Are you deaf?! I said take it back!" And she threw her water at me, the ruckus caused my boss to run to the rescue."Val what is going on?!" He was panting, he was very out of shape."I told her that this isn't my order and she is here arguing with me! What happened to customers is always right?!""Val, take it back immediately!" He screamed at me and I scurried back into the kitchen. I sniffed back my tears and thought about it a lot, ever since I left, I was treated horribly, even worse by humans.Soon my boss came in to talk to me, "Never argue with the customers, give them whatever they want. It's almost closing, you should leave and get rest, do not repeat this mistake."He was right, soon it was 7 pm and I was the first to grab my things a
Chapter 4"I don't care what mom says! We deserve to know about dad, he could still be alive! Don't you think he misses us?""But she probably has a good reason for keeping us away from him, maybe he's a bad person?""It still doesn't matter, we deserve to know. Andreius is right. We have 4o find him some way."I could hear them from the other side of the door, it was 6am in the morning and they were never up this early. I was and their discussion pierced my heart.I never wanted them to be away from Rohan but if I didn't leave, they wouldn't even have been born. I do admit I overreacted last evening but what could I have done? I'm only doing my best.I moved away from the door, it was not proper to eavesdrop, I dragged my feet to the kitchen, I was soulless, just like the day Rohan rejected me and told me to terminate my pregnancy. Everything was blank, nothing had color anymore. Dawn greeted us and now the sun was shining brightly, the boys were already dressed for school and I had
Rohan's POV"The best way to keep the rogues out is by tightening border security, we will deal with the ones we've already caught." I was ready to call it a wrap and all the other alphas nodded in agreement, "it has been a pleasure hosting you all."It was dismissed and everyone was going back to their respective packs and I was exhausted. But seeing Alex come towards me, I knew my work was nowhere near done."Alpha Rohan." He took a quick bow and I raised him up with a hand gesture, "there is something important I wish to tell you.""You didn't even let me catch my breath, I just finished a meeting with the other pack alphas and You're here telling me you got something to talk about." I mimicked his voice as he had a deadpan expression pasted on his face, I let out a huge sigh, "let it out, I'm listening.""There have been complaints of your subjects, too many people have complained of their kids going missing."The latest development was able to freeze my brain and I sat up to list
Valerie's POVI slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. I was in a room I didn't recognize, with walls adorned with strange symbols and a large window that let in a flood of sunlight. My head pounded as I tried to remember how I got there. And then, like a tidal wave, memories came crashing back.My children, my precious babies, kidnapped. The pain and fear I felt was suffocating. I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over me, forcing me back onto the bed.As I lay there, fragments of my past began to resurface. Rohan, the man I once loved with all my heart. The man who told me to get rid of our unborn child, like it was nothing more than a disposable thing. The man who now held the power to help me find my stolen children.I felt a bitter taste in my mouth as I thought of him. How could I have ever loved someone so cruel? And yet, as I looked around the room, I knew I had no choice but to beg for his help.The door creaked open, and Rohan stood before m
As the beautiful woman with piercing green eyes walked into the room, her gaze swept across the space, locking onto Rohan with an affectionate smile. She hurried towards him, her movements graceful and confident. The warmth of their embrace was palpable, and I felt a pang of... something. Jealousy? Sadness? I couldn't quite put my finger on it.When she turned to face me, her eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Who's this?" she asked, her voice polite but probing.Rohan's expression softened as he looked at me, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. "This is Valerie. An old friend. Her children have been kidnapped, and I'm helping her find them."His mate's expression turned sympathetic, her eyes never leaving mine. "I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you find them soon." Her words were genuine, but I sensed a hint of wariness beneath the surface.As she turned to leave, I felt a pang of annoyance. Why was I feeling this way? I had no right to be jealous. Rohan had moved on, and I had too... or s
I sat at my desk, lost in thought, when I sensed a presence behind me. I knew it was Alex, my beta, without even looking up. He had a way of carrying himself that commanded attention."Alex," I said, my voice low and even.He didn't respond, but I could sense his eyes on me, awaiting an explanation. I sighed, knowing I couldn't avoid this conversation forever."You're not going to let this go, are you?" I asked, my eyes still fixed on the papers in front of me.Alex nodded, his expression unreadable. But I knew him well enough to sense the surprise and curiosity behind his eyes."I'm the father of her children," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.Alex's eyes widened, but he didn't pry. He simply nodded, his expression still surprised, but trying to cover it up."Does she know?" he asked, his voice low and even.I knew he was talking about Diana, my mate. I shook my head. "No, and she must never know."Alex nodded again, his eyes never leaving mine. "I'll keep your secret, Rohan.
