#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
#Chapter100'Well, fuck the bond.'******Being enveloped in Harper's arms had brought a feeling of peace in me. I had even felt the tingles that I didn't feel a few weeks ago. The fabled tingles that ran through your body, brought you to your knees and gave you a high dose of sheer pleasure. Being in your mate's arms definitely had some benefits.It had all felt right at the moment. But then as I laid in my bed that very day, it had never felt so wrong. The dynamics of our relationship weren't that simple and I didn't think it ever would be.I knew the bond between us would only work towards bringing the both of us back together and it's pretty needless to say that it would be a very unhealthy move.Moreover, I would be bruising myself respect and dare I say it, ego if I were to even think about getting back with him under these circumstances. I wouldn't have to think twice about it if the fucking bond hadn't messed up my mind and the realisation only made my resolve h
#Chapter101'HIS PLANS (Harper's POV)'******Having her in my arms after such a long time felt so amazing, so fulfilling. Granted, it has only been a few days but still, being away from your mate is a torture. A torture I had been deliberately inflicting on myself.As much as I knew my mate, I knew that she needed time alone to sort things out in the head. So I gave her exactly that. Time!It had been so fucking hard to stay away, though. It hasn't been long since I accepted her as my mate. As a result, the bond between us twists and forces us to be closer to each other and compete the mating process. My wolf had been restless for so long, all he could think about these few days, apart from the problems I caused, was the pleasure of marking our mate, of marking Zara.My wolf would lure me with vivid images of the mark she would proudly wear on her shoulder when my canines would finally pierce her soft skin. My wolf reminded me that I could then, hear her voice inside m
