#Chapter92'"Please hold onto me. Don't let go of us."'******I could tell you the second the energy round me changed and the exact moment I felt Harper standing on the other side of the door to my bedroom. Suddenly, I wanted to throw the door open and be embraced by him. So far, I had my instincts lead me and look where that got me. Fucking nowhere! I know he needed to talk because that's what always happened, didn't it?! He creates messes and apologises thereafter. Well, this time it wasn't any small mess we were talking about, this was pretty big and he had to understand it.I was tired, so damn tired. I shouldn't have to do this every step of the relationship. It felt as if I was crossing some sort of checkpoints and already waiting for the next one to come. There's only so much I can possibly take.I sat down on my bed and faced the door, not entirely ready to face the person I loved, not sure how I would be able to discuss with him how he had gotten my best
#Chapter93Harper's face softened when he caught me doing that but he made no move to touch me and I was glad he didn't. "They stood strong and kept trying for ten fucking years. They loved each other and tried the best they could.""Everything went downhill when one day my mom caught my dad sleeping with a widowed pack member." I gasped and I felt another tear slip down my cheeks."All their promises went down the drain after that because instead of confronting my father, like my mother should have, they started sleeping with other unmated wolves in the pack." I didn't know what to say but I didn't need to say anything because harper was the one doing all the talking."My mother had suffered through so many carriages but she easily conceived so many times when she mated with other pack males. The same with my dad." His expression morphed into one of disgust and I couldn't help but be saddened at the thought."A few years in, things got so bad that my mom moved out o
#Chapter94'Well, that's what the future alpha thinks about it anyway!'******For as long as I could remember, I have only seen my parents madly in love with each other. Sure, they had small outbursts and fights here and there, but on the whole, they were as loving as a couple could possibly be.I can't stress enough upon the fact how their compatibility affected me and my siblings. We had experienced love first hand in our home which immediately made the three of us believe in it. Just like how I feel up believing in love, maybe the same worked for Harper, but in a different way. It would be pretty easy for me to say that he should have learnt from their mistakes and a path of his own. For once, if I could put myself in his perspective I think I could understand where he was coming from. He didn't know any better, he never knew things could be any different than his parents or his grandparents.He was a misguided teen who had responsibilities of a whole pack thru
#Chapter95'"Well, Zara's the best thing that has happened to you, son. Take care of your mate".'******I cringed as the sound of my phone hitting the floor echoed in the room. I just hope that it wasn't broken. I don't think I could handle more stress at the moment.I gingerly looked up to find Eva smiling down at me. I nervously gulped while I was freaking out on the inside.Why the hell do these kind of things always happen to me?!"I'm, Hi, Mrs. Cain." I quickly picked up my phone and stood up from my seat to greet her.She crossed her arms and sighed mockingly. "Oh Zara, How many times have I told you to call me Eva?" I chuckled nervously and fiddled with the ends of my shirt.What are you even doing here?"Well, I'm here for my sonogram." She laughed while roaming her hand over her belly affectionately.Of course! Eva was pregnant so she was bound to go to a doctor's office. Pregnant women go for regular checkups. Stupid Zara!It was just my luc
#Chapter96'HIS HELPLESSNESS'******I had no idea why Zara acted surprised when I told her that me and Natalie decided to abort the baby if I turned out to be my child. And if it didn't turn out to be mine, then the decision to keep the baby will be solely Natalie's.I loved her, more than anything and she would be a fool if she thought I would let go of her that easily.Having a child with Natalie would mess up the situation on so many levels. Me and Natalie would be parents of a baby and where exactly would Zara fit in the picture? Zara was my mate and I would try as long as it takes to make her believe that I really was sorry about what I did. Having a child in the equation would make the situation unsalvageable.Sleeping with Natalie was a mistake and whatever reasons I come up for my actions could never redeem me. I was smart enough to know that. I had made shitty choices and now I was suffering through the consequences. My wolf had been constantly whining
#Chapter97'"What exactly do you plan to do, Sebastian?"'******No matter how many times I repeated the facts in my head, I couldn't get used to them. Simple facts laid out so indifferently by the woman they claimed was the moon goddess.Me and Harper are not meant to have children.The child in Natalie's womb is going to be the Alpha after Harper.If the moon goddess had planned it all along, then why the fuck she strung me along? Why the flying fuck did she introduce me to this new world, only to create situations where I could play no part in it. It just didn't make sense and I was already damn tired by trying to contemplate everything that was happening."What do you mean?" My head snapped up to meet the tearful eyes of Natalie. Why was she crying? Nevertheless, I meekly nodded.Her shoulders racked with sobs again and she determinedly shook her head. "No way." Sebastian's body had become tense since I had spoken and for good reason too. Despite his harsh
#Chapter98'Some things are best said face to face.'******Sebastian went against protocol and asked Natalie's parents to come into his office the day Natalie was hospitalized. He wanted to explain the situation to her parents before they heard it from a doctor or any outsider. As far as I know, they didn't exactly take the news very well. But they couldn't exactly do anything.I had no idea why but Eva always kept me in the loop with everything that had been going on. That was how I knew that Natalie's parents were informed before her pregnancy before the rest of the pack and that was how I had known that today was the day Sebastian was going to make the pack announcement.Seb was definitely taking everything seriously. It was only yesterday that I had found Natalie unconscious in the girl's washroom and today he was going to announce the pregnancy to the pack.For obvious reasons, I had no plans to attend the announcement. Today was a Saturday and I had full plans to
#Chapter99'The note meant nothing to me and I didn't have the strength to decipher it.'******Me, Sebastian and Dan (the pack member who had barged in the meeting room) left the room as soon as we overcame the shock of someone actually interrupting the meeting. We had left Eva siting in the armchair because she wouldn't be able to run during her pregnancy. After so many miscarriages and considering her age, it was the responsible choice.The three of us bound down the stairs, into the foyer and burst through the front door of the pack house. Before I could say anything, Dan shifted into his brown wolf and sprinted in the direction of the forest. Sebastian gave me an apologetic wolf, shifted into his massive white wolf and in the same direction that Dan had ran.I huffed angrily. Couldn't have Dan told that shifting was required?! I wouldn't have taken the trouble of running down the stairs then.If I had any more doubt that it was Samantha, it was cleared after I saw
