“How dare he?” Caroline fumed in anger when she received a wedding card from her male best friend, Dylan.
“I always told you that he is just using you to get Alice,” Dylan said in an equally angry tone. He couldn’t believe Caroline’s best friend Alice Fonda from college days did this to Caroline. He barely knew about that girl, but god knows for what reason; he never liked that witch.
A tear rolled out of her eyes, still having a hard time believing that her boyfriend was marrying her best friend secretly.
“But why?” She asked, not able to understand that why Mark Johnson, her boyfriend did this to her.
“Do you still don’t get it, Caro? He was always after Alice’s money. He befriended you just to get near Alice because, in front of everyone, you’re just an Orphan, just a nobody except me, obviously.” Dylan said, shrugging his shoulder.
Both Caroline and Dylan had been friends since she first came to the Orphanage on her seventh birthday. She started pretending as nobody after high school because she hated how she was treated differently by everyone because her parents were billionaires and from the royal family, not to also mention because a lot of girls wanted to become her friends just because of her two super duper hot twins brothers so that she could play the role of cupid.
That was when she realized how fake the world was. So, she talked with her parents and asked them to hide every detail of her being the daughter of a Billionaire because she wanted to spend her life as a nobody. She wanted others to choose her for HER, not for the fact that she was rich.
And when she reached college as NOBODY in another city, her heart broke because no one wanted to be her friend because, in their eyes, Caroline was nothing but a student who got admission on scholarship, which was true as she was intelligent enough to get a scholarship. Not just that, she also pretended as poor.
“I should have told Mark about my identity. Then… then this won’t have happened.” Caroline muttered, wiping her tears.
“Are you even listening to your own words?” Dylan asked, looking at her in disbelief. “You should be grateful that asshole and that witch showed you the real colors before you have revealed your true self to them,” he added and wiped Caroline’s tear.
“Don’t you know that whatever happens, happens for good,” he said to cheer her mood, but it looked like at that moment, these words were not working on Caroline.
*
After an hour, Caroline’s phone rang, displaying her mom was calling her.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Dylan, who looked here and there.
“Did you… did you do anything?” She asked, sobbing.
“You were crying for an hour, so I informed her about it to Mrs. Haysbert,” Dylan admitted. Caroline didn’t receive the call because, at that moment, she wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone. After a while, a message popped on her phone from her mother. Caroline opened the message to read it.
“Be grateful that certain things didn’t work out. Sometimes you don’t even know what you’re being protected from or where you’re being guided to when you’re in the middle of chaos. That’s why you just have to trust that greater things are aligning for you. Let go gracefully.”
“Remember that neither your dad is my first love nor I’m your dad’s, first love. You can always find a better one.” The second message popped out.
“You can talk to me or anyone in the family, Princess. If you want space, then it’s fine; just take care of yourself. We love you!!” The third message popped out.
“I love you all,” Caroline replied and locked her phone. She wiped her tears and closed her eyes, thinking, what next?
She needed to do something to divert her mind from this heartbreak.
“I’m leaving for Spain.” She texted her hard-shell brother, Colton. So that her dad wouldn’t send a search team for her in case she went missing and also because she knew her secret would be safe with Colton because everyone could rest in peace if they would realize that one of the family members knew about her presence.
“See you soon, Dylan,” Caroline said, leaving his bed and shaking her shoulder, showing her big black wings, matching her black clothes and black hair. The blonde hair changed its color itself into black when she turned twenty-two, and also, the design of Talismans (pendant) changed into the shape of a key on the very same night.
Dylan was not at all surprised to see Caroline in this way; in fact, he felt lucky that Caroline trusted him with her truth. “I hope you’re not planning to go anywhere in this way as long as it is somewhere in the human world.” Dylan reminded. “Use human’s way, you know. I have watched Lucifer multiple times, and I don’t want something similar with you that happened with Rory’s wings.”
Caroline quickly hid her wings and hugged Dylan. “I love you, Dylan. You’re the most amazing friend that I have ever got.”
“Same here. Take care of yourself. And until and unless you find your right one, don’t, don’t share your identity with anyone.”
“I won’t. And this incident is a lesson for me.” Caroline responded, breaking the hug.
*
By night, Caroline was already in Madrid. Colton suggested taking at least fifteen days of tour packages to visit each and every place in Spain instead of sulking because of heartbreak.
That was why she didn’t order the food in the room in which she was staying and walked out of the room after getting ready like a goth wearing black from top to button and wearing dark makeup, which also suited her.
While having dinner, she didn’t miss how most of the people were there with their parents, and she was eating alone.
‘It’s okay, Caro. You’re just twenty-five. It's not too late to get the right man to love you.’ She said to herself while having dinner. After dinner, Caroline ordered around fifty burgers to distribute to homeless people that she would find on the roadside.
*
‘Enough, Mom. I’m here to enjoy Spain. And you started playing cupid by arranging girls for me just because I’m not able to find my mate.’ A young man mindlink his mother.
‘But…’
‘No, but and no if…. I don’t understand what is wrong with both you and dad. Dad was searching for some Caro for me for years until I found my mate. Now that she has left me, you started looking for another mate for me.’
‘Artemis…’
‘Bye, Mom.’ Saying this, Artemis closed the mindlink and looked at the driver, who halted the car all of a sudden. That was when he observed it was the red light. He angrily looked out of the car window, and his eyes landed on a woman in black, giving burgers to the people sitting on the roadside. He saw that old man speaking something, that’s why he concentrated on their conversation especially.
“Sorry!! I don’t understand Spanish because I don’t belong here.” That woman said that to that old man.
‘Her voice is sweet. But something is strange about her. I can’t smell her.’ His wolf muttered, listening to Caroline’s voice.
“Dios te bendiga” The old man said, touching Caroline’s head. This time Caroline had her phone in her hand, which translated into English, ‘God bless you.’
Caroline smiled at that him and kissed his hand; she stood on her feet to throw the paper bag in the dustbin because all the burgers had been finished, and that was when Artemis’s eyes landed on her face. He couldn’t understand the reason why looking at her; his wolf was on edge, and even though she wasn’t the most beautiful woman that he came across. He was attracted to her.
‘Don’t go on good looks. Remember what happened last time? At least, she has a heart of gold.’ His wolf reminded his human, who nodded his head and kept his eyes fixed on that woman in black.
‘By the way, have you noticed that her cheeks and nose were red and her eyes were puffed?’ His wolf asked, observing Caroline carefully. Soon. Artemis’s car started moving, leaving Caroline behind. A part of him wanted to hop out of the car and reach near her, but another part of him wasn’t sure that she was the ONE.

After Caroline checked into her room, she didn’t know what to do now because if she would stay in the room, then she would start crying again. She wanted to confront both Mark and Alice and ask them why they did do this to her. She was away from Grenoble and had gone home to Paris just for two weeks because her grandpa’s health wasn’t right, and he broke up with me with a text just two days after his wedding without giving any reason. She couldn’t run to him, leaving her family like an idiot, not when her grandfather had just started showing positive signs of recovery and also her younger sisters were going to shift for the first time on their eighteen birthday. So she shared about it with Dylan, and he found out the real reason when he landed at his place and met his parents as Mark’s friends, seeing all the arrangements for the wedding. And from there, he came to know that Mark and Alice had been in a relationship for more than a year now. ‘Is this why Mark never texted me first fr
A minute later, Artemis broke the kiss and looked at his mate in his arm and then at Gaby, who looked like she would kill his mate at any moment. He was glad that she was a human, or she would have lunged on his mate for sure until now. And the second best thing about this nightclub was that it belonged to a werewolf, so he made sure to build this place with the help of magic so that no werewolves or any creature couldn’t use his or her hearing powers to listen to someone else conversation or anyone’s whisper. “Can you dance?” He whispered in Caroline’s ear when he kissed her right ear. Caroline’s knees went weak when he did so. She couldn’t help but wonder. ‘Where does he do for a living? Acting?’ “Hmm” Hearing it, Artemis wasted no time and brought her to the dance floor. Caroline felt someone throwing tons of daggers at her head with her eyes, and to piss her a little more, she rested her head on Artemis’s chest, wrapping her hand around his frame, moving her body to the beat o
“So, how long you’re planning to stay here?” Artemis asked to know her plan as she was here on a break. “It’s a fifteen days tour package of the whole of Spain, covering major places.” caroline answered, drinking another glass of mojito. They returned from the dance floor after Caroline got tired from dancing. They didn’t even realize when Gaby left the nightclub after feeling humiliated.“Wow!! What a coincidence. Even I’m here with a plan to enjoy Spain at least for fifteen to fifteen days. The only difference is that I’m not here on some tour package.”“Well… there was a discount on the tour package, so I chose that. I try to save money as much as I can and then utilize that saved money by helping the poor people.” Caroline responded, shrugging her shoulder.‘Woah! It looks like she doesn’t give a damn about your money and about the fact of helping the poor; we have seen that with our own eyes!’ Bolt said in an impressive tone.“So, Artemis…” Bolt purred out of happiness hearing hi
The following day, Caroline opened her eyes to a continuous knock on her room’s door. She checked the time and saw it was just six in the morning.‘Who has a death wish?’ She muttered in a sleepy tone and left the bed to open the door and was really not surprised to see Artemis standing in front of her in a fresh sky blue casual shirt and black jeans. His grey eyes were hidden because of his goggles.“Good Morning, Regina.” He greeted her with a big smile on his lips. [Regina means Queen in Italian.]‘He looks good with that beautiful smile on his lips.’ She mentally thought before replying. “I’m not ready, Artemis, and I have to sleep for at least two hours more. You can come later.”“Don’t be that cruel. At least let me in. You agree to give me those fourteen days, remember?” Artemis pouted. Narrowing her eyes, Caroline let him enter her room and then locked the door behind her. Walking inside, Artemis looked around the room and found the room in which she was staying, an average ro
“Are you trying to know from where I belong?” Caroline asked, changing the topic. “If yes, then I stay in Grenoble, not Paris.” She said in such a way then Artemis won’t be able to sense her lie. My parents or say my family left me in an orphanage when I was bare of few hours.” She told him but didn’t tell the story that happened next, how she got adopted, and other things.“I… I’m sorry about that.” Artemis apologized. “Maybe they were not ready to become parents but don’t worry, my parents will be blessed to have a daughter they never had,” he said with a smile and pinched Caroline’s cheek to cheer her mood.“And I don’t give a damn to your background, Sarah. Even you’re a nobody and poor.”Caroline smiled at his words, and by that time, their breakfast was already served at their table. “Don’t get me to know, but how did you manage everything until now, then? I mean, what do you do for your living?”“Well, a generous and kind couple adopted and helped me with my studies till high s
“Also, see that leech that has been following me since the moment I had in Spain.” Artemis groaned in irritation, knowing Gaby had been keeping an eye on him and Caroline since morning.“God, what is wrong with this woman?” Caroline hissed, seeing Gaby, who just hid her face with the magazine.“She is from Spain, so I doubt that she is going to leave me alone till my stay in Spain. So please, Sarah, save your rè, just like you did last night after all my re·gì·na.” Artemis said in his Italian accent, acting like a helpless man, but Caroline very well knew that she was capable of saving his ass on his own. “Even if things won’t work between us, just help me to get rid of her.”“Okay! Okay! Now stop acting like you are some helpless man, even though you’re. I will help you.” Caroline agreed, ‘Help him or help myself?’Artemis leaned toward her and kissed her cheek before whispering in her ear, “There will surely be more than one room in my suit.” With this, he moved back to look at Caro
“So tell me about your family.” Artemis asked, munching the breakfast.“From where does that question comes all of a sudden?” Caroline asked because she was taken aback by that question of Artemis. She knew that she couldn’t lie to him because of his nose, which could smell lie anytime.“Now that I’m going to marry you. I should know about all your family members, shouldn’t I? So, tell me.” Artemis said, sensing the reluctance to answer his simple question. He narrowed his eyes and started waiting for her to speak. ‘What are you hiding, Sarah? Tell me. What is about you so mysterious?’ He mentally thought.“Don’t you think that you are taking everything too seriously?” Caroline gave him a weak smile by saying this, but Artemis eyed her suspiciously.“I’m taking everything seriously because I’m serious about you, Sarah. I won’t ask again if you don’t want to tell me.” He said with a poker face.“Umm.. my dad is a game programmer. And my mother… she sews and knits clothes for babies.” C
‘Come on, Artemis, if you want her to trust you with her truth, then you will also have to trust her and share everything about yourself.’ Bolt encouraged Artemis while having breakfast the following morning when they were having breakfast at an open restaurant near the Atlantic Ocean in San Sebastian.“I’m a werewolf,” Artemis said all of a sudden, shocking Caroline. And her eyes widened in surprise, not expecting Artemis to share such important information about him.As per werewolf law, they were allowed to disclose this fact with any human unless they were mates or too close to them. Well, to be honest, this rule wasn’t applied only to the werewolf community but also to the other community that was different from humans.“A werewolf is a man who can shift into a wolf. Some of them can shift at any moment as per their wish, while there are some who can just shift at night, some of them can shift only at full moon night, and many more. It depends on many reasons like their parents,
Five years later!!*“Am I late, Zordon?” Calvin asked his beta, Zordan Collin, who smiled and nodded his head. “Damn it! When will I learn to reach timely on my date?” He cursed and was ready for the punishment that the love of his life would give.He had forgotten her birthday first. That was why he promised a dinner date, and then he forgot about the date as well. He couldn’t imagine how pissed she would be.He signaled Zordan to leave when they reached the lawn where he was supposed to have candlelight dinner with her.“She is pissed,” Nelina warned who was standing outside the lawn.“I know.”“All the best.” Saying this, she left to give them privacy.He slowly walked toward the lawn and saw her tapping her red bellies on the floor with her hand wrapped around her chest. Her blue eyes were narrowed, throwing daggers from her eyes. Calvin quickly held his ears when he realized that all the candles had already been burned, and it looked like also the food was already cold. “I’m so
A woman in a baby pink summer dress was enjoying the party that her mate threw for revealing the gender of their newborn pup.“Alright! Alright!” Nathan Gayle stopped the party, showing his hand. “I think it’s time to reveal the gender of the pup,” he added, on which everyone cheered and howled in happiness.Grabbing a black balloon that was kept in the corner of the room, he walked toward his mate, Ethlyn Smith Gayle, with a big smile on his face.At the same time, other people hooted, and Ethlyn’s sister gave her a needle with which she was going to burst the balloon, and the color filled inside it would reveal the gender.“So, what do you think? Its pink inside or blue?” Ethlyn's mother asked the crowd.“Pink!!”“Blue!!”“Blue”“Pink!!”“It’s a girl, for sure.”“No, it’s a boy!! The future Alpha of the pack for sure!!”All the guests guessed the gender of the baby, judging the size of Ethlyn’s baby bump and her mood swings in the past two months.“Ready, love?” Nathan asked with a s

Five months later!!!“Aaahhhh!!!” Caroline cried in pain, making Artemis horrified. He knew that the delivery of a baby was tough but hearing his mate crying in pain was also scaring him. “Honey… honey!! I will die.” She screamed in pain.“Of course not, sweetheart!! Stop blabbering stupid things.” Artemis motivated her. “Just push it. Push it a little hard.”Caroline was feeling tired now, but the pup was not ready to come out on top; Artemis’s voice was irritating her. Without her knowledge, she slapped Artemis’s cheek.“What the hell do you think I’m doing?” She yelled. At first, he was taken aback, but somehow he calmed down, knowing that it was Caroline’s pregnancy mood swings and also the situation in which she was right now. “Urrrgghhhh”“Bae, absorb my power to handle the pain and push harder,” Artemis said, holding Caroline’s hand, who had forgotten about her powers at that moment.“Just a little more, Mrs. Gosling. The pup is almost out.”Caroline wanted to use the spell to
“Yeeeee… we’re here!!!” Both Artin and Xavier shouted in excitement, running to Calvin’s pack and running into the wide field.“Be careful, Xav, Artin!!” Caroline yelled behind them, but it looked like it was useless.“Yeeeee!! My pups are here.” Caroline heard an ear-piercing noise and shook her head, realizing that it was none other than her sister, Tiara, who behaved like a pup with pups.Artemis met everyone one by one; after all, he was meeting them after almost six-seven months. As usual, Tiara happily hugged him, while Liara just gave a side hug.“Congratulation, Man.” Artemis congratulated Calvin, who might have worn fresh cloth but was a dark circle under his eyes.“Thanks.”“It looks like your daughter is giving you a hard time.” He teased.“Well, what can I expect from here? She is my daughter.” Calvin smiled. “She sleeps in the day and makes me stay awake all night.” he joked.“Thanks to Mom and dad, who are helping me in managing her,” Calvin added.“I had never thought th
“She hits again.” Xavier cried happily, touching his mother’s baby bump. His mother smiled, caressing his hair.“May I feel the same?” Artin asked, wondering how exactly it felt.“Sure, Artin. You’re also her big brother. Come here.” She said on which Artin reached near her and touched her bump, and after a while, he too felt it.“She hits,” Artin exclaimed.“I.. I told you.” Xavier said. “Let me… let me call the dad.” Saying this, he ran away happily.“Xav, be careful, son.” His mother yelled behind him and then smiled at his excitement.“Why did you leave me but not him?” Artin questioned when he was alone with Xavier’s mother.“Sorry?” She looked at him in confusion. “When did I leave you, Artin?”“You left me when I was born,” Artin said clearly. In the past two months, Xavier and Artin were being taught not to stress or irritate her in any way. Also, to be careful around her in terms of running or playing any indoor games. That was why Artin was talking with her calmly, unlike his
On the other side!!Artin finally packed the gift on his own and mentally cheered at his achievement, but soon his smile vanished, recalling the words of the lady whom he met recently, especially from the time he came to stay in the pack. Otherwise, in Caroline's presents in the pack, no one approaches Artin for any unnecessary purpose.He tried to think of something else but couldn’t. His mind was replaying that lady’s words again and again.‘Hi, Artin!! How are you? And how is Caroline?’‘Sorry? Do I know you?’‘I’m your mother’s close friend.’Artin looked at her suspiciously, ‘Which friend? What’s your name?’‘Erica Fernandez. I just don’t know about your mother but also all your family members.’ Erica said to convince the little pup, who was giving him a suspicious look, but she was here all prepared. She wanted to use Artin to take revenge from both Santino, who had told her to make her his Luna, and also from Caroline, who made fun of her by defeating her in front of all the pa
Artin was trying to pack the gift that he had got for his sister on Christmas with concentration.“What.. is this?” Xavier asked, sitting beside him and looking at the work that Artin was doing.“I got a doll for Rose. I’m trying to pack it so that I can give it to her on Christmas.” Artin replied, recalling how his teacher told everyone Chrismas about exchanging gifts. Until last year, he always used to collect all the gifts for everyone. For the first time, he was going to gift something to someone else.“Noth.. nothing for me?” Xavier asked again.“I got you a gift for you and Rose both. Your gift is reading packed.” Artin assured his little brother, who was ready to cry at any moment.“And… and for my baby sister?”“She is still in Aunt’s stomach,” Artin responded in confusion.“But Mom says that she… she h..ears and sees every… everything thro her,” Xavier explained and saw his father. “Dad.. dad!!” He shouted and brought Santino near Artin. The moment Artin’s eyes landed on him,
"How Uncle Santino is going to become a father for the second time, and you didn't become a father even once?" Artin questioned."Who said that I didn't become a father even for a once?" Artemis asked this time. "You... You are my son, Artin. So, dare you say anything similar to this again." He added sternly, pulling him in his arms."Always remember that love is thicker than blood. We adopted you because we wanted to.""Sorry, Papa. I mean to say the father of a baby who comes from the stomach." Artin corrected himself. How Uncle Santino is going to become a father for the second time for tiny babies, and you didn't become a father even once?" He asked again.Breaking the hug, Artemis replied, "It depends on older couples. They can have a lot of babies, or they can have none. Your Mamma and I decided not to have a baby other than you.""Why?""Because you don't want siblings. So, we don't want to make you feel insecure with the thought of another baby taking your place or something."
