As Lycan Cross approached Illebaye, he saw Alpha Père emerging from the shadows, his eyes fixed on Illebaye with an unnerving intensity. Lycan Cross's instincts told him to stay and protect Illebaye, but he knew that confronting Alpha Père now would only lead to more trouble.With a heavy heart, Lycan Cross turned around and left the clearing, disappearing into the trees. He knew that Illebaye was strong enough to handle herself, but it still pained him to leave her alone with Alpha Père.As he walked away, he could feel Alpha Père's eyes on him, taunting him, daring him to come back. But Lycan Cross resisted the urge, knowing that he had to bide his time and wait for the right moment to strike.Illebaye, sensing Lycan Cross's departure, felt a pang of disappointment. She had been hoping to talk to him, to clear the air and maybe even rekindle what they had. But now, with Alpha Père closing in on her, she knew she had to focus on protecting herself.Illebaye stood tall, her eyes flash
Illebaye took a deep breath as she gathered her family in the living room. Her parents, brother, and son all looked at her with concern etched on their faces."What's going on, Illebaye?" her mother asked, her voice soft with worry.Illebaye hesitated, choosing her words carefully. "I've decided to forgive Alpha Père and give him a second chance," she said finally.The room fell silent, with her family members exchanging shocked glances."Are you sure that's a good idea, Illebaye?" her brother asked, his voice laced with skepticism.Illebaye nodded. "I know it won't be easy, but I think it's what's best for our son. He deserves to have a complete family, and I'm willing to try again for his sake."Her father frowned. "But what about Lycan Cross? You two have grown close, and he's been good to you and our grandson."Illebaye's heart ached at the mention of Lycan Cross's name. She knew she had feelings for him, but she also knew that she couldn't abandon her son's father without trying
Illebaye watched as Alpha Père and Ethan Jr. spent more time together, their bond growing stronger with each passing day. She saw the effort Alpha Père was putting into being a good father and mate, and it touched her heart.One evening, as they sat down for dinner together, Illebaye realized that she had been given a second chance at happiness. She looked at Alpha Père, really looked at him, and saw the sincerity in his eyes."Thank you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.Alpha Père looked at her, confused. "For what?""For trying," Illebaye replied. "For being here for us, for being a good father and mate. It means a lot to me."Alpha Père's face softened, and he reached out, taking Illebaye's hand in his. "I'll always be here for you and Ethan Jr.," he promised. "I love you both, and I won't let you down again."Illebaye felt a lump form in her throat as she looked at Alpha Père, really looked at him. She saw the love and devotion in his eyes, and she knew that she had ma

They had a secret relationship, one that they had to keep hidden from the rest of the world.As she entered the hotel lobby, she saw Marvin waiting for her by the elevator. He looked handsome and confident, and Tolani's heart skipped a beat as he smiled at her."Hey," he said, as she approached him. "I'm glad you could make it."Tolani smiled back, feeling a flutter in her chest. "I wouldn't have missed it for the world," she replied.Marvin took her hand, leading her to the elevator. They rode it to the top floor, where Marvin had booked a room. As they entered the room, Tolani felt a sense of excitement and nervousness.

Lycan Cross watched from afar how happy Illebaye was with Alpha Père by her side along side her son. And he couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy and regret for letting Illebaye slip away. With so much determination he decided to move on and accept Sophia, who was now carrying his child. he knew he can't do anything anymore since the woman he loves has now accepted his nephew.With so much regrets and acceptance of the situation, Lycan Cross got into his sleek, black sports car and started the engine. He pulled out of his driveway and onto the winding roads, his eyes fixed on the GPS as it guided him to Sophia's house. As he drove, he felt a mix of emotionsAfter a few minutes of driving, Lycan Cross arrived at Sophia's house, a cozy little bungalow with a well-manicured lawn. He pulled up in front of the house and parked his car, then took a deep breath to calm his nerves.He got out of the car and walked up the path to Sophia's front door, his footsteps crunching on the gravel
Lycan Cross help Sophia and they both walked into the mansion where he was greeted with the presence of his family members including Naomi his younger sister who is supposed to be at his mate pack. Lycan Cross introduced Sophia to his family, who were already gathered there. "Everyone, this is Sophia," he said, his voice confident. "My mate and the mother of my child."Sophia smiled, feeling a sense of familiarity as she greeted Lycan Cross's family. She had already met them before, and they welcomed her with warm smiles.Lycan Cross's father, the former Lycan, nodded at her, his expression stern but not unfriendly. Naomi, Lycan Cross's sister and the Luna of the Greenhouse pack, hugged her warmly.

I couldn't believe it had been a month since Alpha Pere and I started dating. It felt like just yesterday we were exchanging sweet glances and stolen moments. Now, we were inseparable, and I couldn't imagine my life without him.But amidst all the romance and bliss, I realized I had neglected my friendship with Uriel. We used to be inseparable, sharing every secret and laughter. But since I got back together with her brother, I hadn't made time for her.I felt a pang of guilt and decided to reach out to Uriel. I sent her a text, hoping she would forgive me for my absence."Hey, girl! I'm so sorry for abandoning you. Life got busy, but that's no excuse. Let's catch up soon?"I waited anxiously for her response, hoping she wouldn't be too mad at me.After a few minutes, my phone buzzed with an incoming text from Uriel."Hey, stranger! I've missed you so much! Yeah, let's catch up soon. But don't think you're off the hook that easily. I want all the deets about you and my bro"I breathed
I sat in the meeting with the chief and the other village elders, they spoke in hushed tones about the prophecy of the moon goddess. But my mind was elsewhere, still basking in the joy of being reunited with my mate, Illebaye. I couldn't help but smile, thinking about the way she laughed, the way her eyes sparkled in the sunlight.The chief noticed my smile and raised an eyebrow. "Alpha Pere, do you know something we don't?" he asked, his voice filled with curiosity.I simply shook my head, still smiling. "No, chief. I just... have a lot to be grateful for."The others looked at me quizzically, but I just leaned back in my chair, my heart full of love and contentment. I had Illebaye back by my side, and nothing else mattered. The prophecy, the meeting, the village's expectations - all of it faded into the background as I thought of her.I couldn't wait to return to her, to hold her in my arms and never let her go again. The moon goddess had brought us together once more, and I vowed
But with the hope that he was on his way home, as Alpha Père had said to her, Kimberly decided to wait a little bit longer. She sat in the darkness of the room, the only sound the ticking of the clock on the wall. The minutes ticked by, each one feeling like an eternity. She checked her watch for what felt like the hundredth time, the numbers blurring together as she tried to focus.As the hours dragged on, Kimberly's hope began to dwindle. She had been waiting for what felt like an eternity, and there was still no sign of Lycan Cross. The room was quiet and still, the only sound the creaking of the old wooden floorboards.It was 12 am in the evening when Kimberly finally gave up waiting. She stood up, her body stiff from sitting for so long. She walked upstairs to her room, the darkness seeming to swallow her whole. She felt a sense of emptiness and loneliness, the silence of the house echoing through her mind.As she lay in bed, Kimberly couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had
It was a long ride from Red Moon pack to his community, the winding roads stretching out before him like a serpent slithering through the darkness. The moon was high in the sky, casting a silver glow over the landscape, and Lycan Cross felt his heart stirring with a sense of restlessness. He didn't bother to turn on the radio, preferring the silence of the night to the constant chatter of the DJs. Instead, he let his thoughts drift, his mind wandering back to the events of the day.As he drove, the darkness seemed to press in around him, the shadows cast by the trees like skeletal fingers reaching out to snatch at his car. But Lycan Cross was undaunted, his eyes fixed on the road ahead as he navigated the twists and turns with ease.It was 10 pm in the evening when he finally arrived at his community, the familiar landmarks rising up out of the darkness like old friends. He turned onto the driveway, the wheels of his car crunching on the gravel as he made his way to his mansion.But t
It was 9 pm already, and the house was bathed in the warm, golden glow of the evening lights. Lycan Cross's phone, which had been silent for most of the evening, suddenly sprang to life, its ringing tone cutting through the quiet atmosphere of the room. He picked up the phone, his eyes scanning the screen to see who was calling. After seeing that the call was from Kimberly, he turned to Ethan, who was watching him with curious eyes, and said, "Buddy, I will be right back. Let me answer this call."Alright, uncle, Ethan said, looking up at Lycan Cross with a hint of curiosity in his bright, inquisitive eyes. His small face was still flushed with excitement from their earlier playtime, and his hair was mussed and tousled from all the roughhousing they had done.Lycan Cross got up from the floor, his tall, muscular frame unfolding from the cramped position he had been in. He walked to the corner of the room, answering the call as he moved away from Ethan's curious ears. "Hello!" Kimberly
Uncle, you promised to play with me after dinner. Come on, let's go play in my room. I have a lot of toys in my room, Ethan said excitedly.Ethan, Uncle can't play your toys with you. He is our Lycan and he can't be playing such games, Illebaye said in the best simple way she could.No, mom, uncle promised to play with me after dinner, Ethan said as he insisted on Lycan Cross to play with him.Sweetheart, come to dad, Alpha Père said to Ethan.Ethan walked towards his father, his eyes still fixed on Lycan Cross. Son! Lycan Cross is a busy man. And he has a lot of things to do. He was about to leave when I told him to wait for you to come out of the kitchen. So that you can tell him your goodbyes since you were the person who invited him over, Alpha Père said.But dad, he promised to play with me, Ethan said as tears straightened to follow down from his eyes.Buddy, come over to Uncle, Lycan Cross said to Ethan, who was crying non-stop on his father's lap.Ethan ran towards Lycan Cros
It seems like my nephew isn't happy to see me at his house, Lycan Cross said to Alpha Père, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes.Alpha Père's expression remained stern, his jaw clenched in annoyance. "It's not like I am not happy to see you, uncle," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Just that it's evening now, and you have a mate or should I say, you have a baby mama at home. Who is waiting for you?"Lycan Cross chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "You mean Kimberly?" he asked, his voice laced with humor. "Of course, or does my uncle have another baby mama? Don't be shy, uncle. I won't tell anyone; it will just be our little secret."Alpha Père's eyes narrowed, his expression darkening. "No, I don't," Lycan Cross said firmly, his voice brooking no argument.The tension at the table was palpable, the air thick with unspoken words. Illebaye, sensing the escalating tension, coughed delicately, bringing the two men back to their senses."There is a child among us," sh
After Vanni and his men followed Illebaye, they even saw when Lycan Cross dropped her off in front of her pack house. Before they both drove back to their pack.When he arrived in his pack, Vanni placed a call to Nicole."Is that all she went to today?" Nicole asked the moment Vanni called her."Yes, Nicole. And I even followed them and saw the Lycan dropping her in front of the Alpha of Red Moon pack's mansion," Vanni replied."So, what you are trying to tell me is that you saw the Lycan drop off Illebaye and her son in front of my Alpha Père mansion?" Nicole asked again, still not believing the fact that another man would drop Illebaye off in front of Père's mansion."Yes, Nicole. Why do you ask?" Vanni asked, still not understanding why Nicole would ask such a question."Nothing really, but if you don't mind me asking, was Alpha Père at home?" Nicole asked."I don't think so, because he never stepped out. I can't believe that guy will dump me to be with a girl who doesn't even hide
As Alpha Père entered his room, he couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. He knew that Illebaye was getting suspicious, and he needed to do something to distract her.He walked over to his desk and picked up his phone, dialing a number that he knew would get a quick response."Hey, what's up?" a voice answered on the other end."It's me," Alpha Père said, his voice low and serious. "I need you to do something for me.""What is it?" the voice asked, curiosity evident in its tone."I need you to keep an eye on Illebaye," Alpha Père said. "She's getting too close to the truth, and I need to know what she's up to.""Got it," the voice said. "I'll take care of it."Alpha Père nodded, even though the person on the other end of the line couldn't see him."Good," he said. "I'll be waiting to hear from you."With that, Alpha Père ended the call and set his phone down, his mind already turning to the next step in his plan.He knew that he had to keep Illebaye under control, and he was willin
"Hello, Tolani," Neo said, trying to keep his tone neutral."Hey, Neo. How are you?" Tolani asked, her voice sounding gentle."I'm fine, thanks. How about you?" Neo replied, wondering what Tolani wanted."I'm good. I just wanted to check in on you and see how your day is going," Tolani said.Neo raised an eyebrow, surprised by Tolani's sudden interest in his day."It's going well, thanks. Just busy with work," Neo said."Okay, good. Well, I won't keep you then. I just wanted to say hi and see how you're doing," Tolani said.Neo nodded, even though Tolani couldn't see him."Thanks, babe. Take care," Neo said.How is the baby doing? Neo asked immediately since he missed his baby. Pearl is fine..and mom is taken good care of her..Tolani said."You too, Neo. Bye," Tolani replied before hanging up.Neo set his phone down, feeling a bit confused by the conversation. Tolani's tone had been gentle and almost... affectionate. It was a side of her that Neo hadn't seen in a long time.He shook
30 minutes later Neo stopped and fell down on the bed breathing heavily. That was great. He said as he took Uriel's hand and placed a kiss on them. I really miss you and all of this Neo said while still holding Uriel's hand. I missed you too. Uriel said. What change? Neo asked. What do you mean? Uriel asked him back. I know that you feel hurt but I don't think it is the only reason why you let us do this. It's been five to six years since our break up and finding our separate mate and you have never kissed me talk more about allowing me to touch you. So what change? Neo asked and he was very serious. Why are you asking me such a question? Are you regretting your actions right now? Uriel asked him as she was ready to stand up. Come on now, you know I didn't mean to offend you. I was just asking a question. Neo said as he held her hands not ready to let her step out of the room talk more of getting up from the bedSeeing the sincerity and concern of Neo, Uriel was touched as sh
