Uriel smiled, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Illebaye. "Thank you so much for always getting my back. I really appreciate it. You know, in the past, I was the person who would always have your back, but right now, it seems like things have changed, and you are now stronger than me."Illebaye's expression turned warm and empathetic. "Uriel, we're in this together, always. I'm not stronger than you, we're just stronger together. We've been through ups and downs, and we've supported each other through thick and thin. That's what friends are for."Uriel nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. "I know, I just feel like I've been leaning on you so much lately. And I don't want to be a burden."Illebaye laughed, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "You're not a burden, Uriel. You're my friend, my sister. We're in this together, always. And besides, I'm happy to be there for you. You've been there for me so many times in the past."Uriel smiled, feeling a sense of gratitude towa
"How's Ethan Jnr doing?" Uriel asked, a warm smile on her face.Illebaye's expression turned proud. "He's doing great, thanks for asking. He's actually at school right now."Uriel's eyes lit up with interest. "That's wonderful! I'm sure he's growing up so fast. What grade is he in now?"Illebaye thought for a moment before responding. "He's in 7th grade now. Time really flies, doesn't it?"Uriel nodded in agreement. "It sure does. It feels like just yesterday he was a little boy running around, and now he's growing into a young man."Illebaye's smile grew wider. "I know, right? I'm so proud of him. He's such a smart and kind boy."Uriel's expression turned thoughtful. "I'm sure he is. And I'm sure he's going to do great things in life."Illebaye nodded, her eyes shining with pride. "I know he will. I just want to make sure he's safe and happy."Uriel's smile returned. "I'm sure he will be, Illebaye. We'll make sure of it.""You know one of the reasons why I forgave your brother and ac
"Mom!" a voice shouted from outside the mansion.Illebaye and Uriel exchanged a knowing glance."That must be Ethan Jnr," Uriel said with a smile. "He hasn't changed. He's still as energetic as ever."Illebaye chuckled. "He is indeed. And he's just like your brother, Alpha Père - always full of energy and life."Uriel's expression turned wry. "Well, I think he's more like Lycan Cross, to be honest. Always speaking his mind and standing up for what he believes in."Illebaye nodded in agreement. "Alright then. I'm sure he has something important to tell me, that's why he's screaming my name."Uriel nodded. "I know. Let's go see what he wants."Before they could say another word, they both turned and saw Ethan running towards his mother, his face flushed with excitement."Mom!" Ethan exclaimed, out of breath. "I need to tell you something!""What is it, sweetheart?" Illebaye asked, concern etched on her face."I overheard my classmates saying that the Lycan has chosen a new mate," Ethan
"I think he's genuinely trying to make amends and be a good father," Illebaye said, her voice filled with conviction. "Besides, Sophia is a good person. She deserves happiness."Uriel nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. "I'm sure she does. And who knows, maybe this is the start of something beautiful."Illebaye chuckled. "You're always so optimistic, Uriel. I love that about you."Just then, Ethan came bounding down the stairs, his face still flushed with excitement. "Mom, can I ask you something?"Illebaye smiled, putting down the napkin she was folding. "Of course, sweetie. What's on your mind?"Ethan took a deep breath before blurting out, "Do you think Lycan Cross will ever like me?"Illebaye's expression softened, and she opened her arms to her son. "Oh, Ethan, I'm sure he will. You're an amazing young man, and anyone would be lucky to have you in their life."Ethan smiled, looking relieved, and Uriel nodded in agreement. "Your mom is right, Ethan. You're special, and don'
As Uriel left, Illebaye returned to Ethan, who was still finishing his dessert. "All done, sweetie?" she asked, smiling.Ethan nodded, his face still flushed with excitement. "Yeah, Mom. Thanks for lunch. It was amazing."Illebaye smiled, hugging her son. "Anytime, sweetie. I'm glad you enjoyed it."Just then, Ethan's phone buzzed with a text from his friend. "Mom, I have to go. My friend is waiting for me."Illebaye nodded. "Okay, sweetie. Have fun. But don't forget to stay safe and be back home on time."Ethan grinned and hugged his mom before rushing out the door.Illebaye watched him go, feeling a mix of emotions. She was happy to see her son growing up and making friends, but she couldn't help but worry about his safety and well-being.As she turned to go back inside, she noticed a car pulling up outside her house. Her heart skipped a beat as she saw Lycan Cross getting out of the car, his eyes fixed intently on her."Illebaye," he said, his deep voice sending shivers down her sp
"What are you saying Illebaye?" Lycan Cross asked still in shock from what Illebaye just told him. "Yes. Lycan. That is the only way for us to find out who she is working with. Illebaye said." " What about me?" Lycan Cross asked Illebaye. " And what has happened to you?" Illebaye asked. " Can't you see?" How miserable I am without you in my life? Lycan Cross asked Illebaye. "I understand what you are saying Lycan." Illebaye tried to say to him. " No you don't. Because if you do you won't tell me to continue my fake relationship with that girl." Lycan Cross said angry. " Do you know how long I have begged the moon goddess to help me find out the truth about her pregnancy so I can clear everything in front of you?" Lycan Cross asked Illebaye. " I do. Because I too have been begging the moon goddess to make everything to be my imagination and not my reality." Illebaye said to him. I thought that.. "you know what I think?" Lycan Cross asked and Illebaye nodded her head negati
"Who are you?" Illebaye asked the unfamiliar man who was standing in front of the door. "I am Alpha Nicolas." The man said and you who are you and what are you doing here? Alpha Nicolas asked. "Honey, who is at the door?" Alpha Père asked wondering why Illebaye has taken so long to come back. After waiting for some time and he didn't get any response from her Alpha Pere got up from his seat and walked to the door. When he got to the door he froze behind Illebaye after seeing who was at the door."Alpha.. he called out." And he got the Alpha Nicolas and Illebaye's attention as they both turned and was facing him.Especially Alpha Nicolas who will turn to him then to Illebaye before looking at him. "Forgive the manners of my mate Alpha please come in." Alpha Pere said to Alpha Nicolas." Did you just say your Mate?" Alpha Nicolas asked." Yes. Alpha." Sorry I haven't don't the introduction yet. "Alpha Nicolas please meet my mate Illebaye and Illebaye please meet the Alpha of S
Kimberly stood there, shocked and hurt by Lycan Cross's behavior. She had never seen him this angry before."Lycan Cross!" Kimberly called out, but he didn't respond.She sighed and walked back to the living room, her mind racing with thoughts. What had she done wrong? Why was he so angry?As she sat down, she noticed a piece of paper on the coffee table. It was a receipt from a local jewelry store. Her eyes widened as she saw the date and time - yesterday."Was he planning to buy Illebaye a gift?" Kimberly thought to herself, her heart sinking.Just then, Lycan Cross's voice echoed from upstairs. "Kimberly, I need to talk to you."Kimberly's heart skipped a beat. What did he want to talk about?"Coming!" Kimberly replied, her voice trembling slightly.She walked upstairs, her mind filled with doubts and fears."Lycan Cross!" Kimberly called out, her voice laced with concern."Come in," Lycan Cross replied, his tone softening slightly.Kimberly entered his room, finding him sitting on
