“I have a bad feeling about the new girl,” Arlo said, tapping his foot on the ground. “She acts too innocent, and it’s making me unsettled.”
I sighed. “I told you. I spoke to her when we were changing our clothes. She seems like a really good person.”
He clicked his tongue and tilted his head to the side. “I don’t know. She’s definitely hiding something. I can’t help but think that sending her to uncle Dalton’s house is a bad decision.”
River chuckled. “I think it’s a smart idea! You already have a lot on your plate, so making uncle Dalton handle this will lessen your burden. I mean...what’s the worst that can happen? Them falling in love and uncle Dalton joining forces with her to destroy the pack?” He laughed hysterically, slapping Devyn, who was by his side.
He was probably expecting us to laugh with him, but the atmosphere of the room sudd

Hera“Are both of you ready to go?” Emery asked while going over our luggage. When I asked Arlo to join me back to the village, he immediately agreed, so we asked for permission from his parents right away.“Yes, mom. You made us pack so many things. We’ll stay there for two weeks at most,” Arlo sighed, placing on his backpack and holding onto my mind.“I’m just making sure, you know? You never know when something might happen,” she said, still stuffing some clothes and medicine into our luggage.Arlo turned to his dad and whined. “Dad, please tell mom to stop fussing. We should get going by now.”Kairo raised his hands in surrender. “Your mom’s just worried about you. Just let her do her thing. She still thinks of you as her baby until now.”I stifled a laugh while Arlo threw his head back in embarrassment. “I’m 22, dad. You impregnated mom when you we

Ella“I told you that I can come alone,” I told Dalton, who was carrying my duffel bag. We were currently walking to the packhouse, and I was ecstatic when Dalton finally agreed to let me go. I told him that I could go by myself, yet here he was, walking me to the packhouse.“I can carry my own stuff,” I argued and tried to take my bag away from him. However, he placed it above his head so that I couldn’t reach it. I huffed in disappointment. I never thought that I was short. I’m 5’11, for god’s sake! But with him standing beside me, I felt so little. I clicked my tongue. Must be nice to be so tall.“I just can’t let you go all alone. What if you escape? Who knows what you’ll do if I let you go alone?”I sneered at him and walked faster. He attempted to talk with me while we were walking, but I ignored him all throughout the trip. I just realized this as we walked, but he’s such

Arlo“Wait, no!” I said, stopping Hera from ringing their doorbell. When Hera asked me to go back with her to her hometown, I unhesitatingly agreed. I knew that this was an important confrontation, and I wanted to be there for her during this time. I was actually quite excited to meet her parents, even if they were only her adoptive parents, but when she told me that she wasn’t able to inform them about my visit, I suddenly felt anxious.Hera chuckled. “What?” She asked, holding onto my clenched fists. “What are you so afraid of? I already told you that my parents wouldn’t mind you coming here.”I let out a deep breath and looked down on the ground. “But what if they don’t like me?”She gently flicked my forehead, making me look up to her. ”They’ll like you, I promise. And if they don’t, it doesn’t matter. What’s important is that I like you, okay?”

Norman“Fuck! Why isn’t she answering her phone?!” I exclaimed in anger, pushing my table down the ground. Its contents scattered on the floor, the glass that contained some whiskey breaking into pieces.My servant replacements, Grace and Hunter, stood frozen near the door with their heads bowed down and their arms behind their backs.“Now, can you tell me why Ella isn’t answering any of my calls?! It’s been almost a month since I sent her out, but how come she hasn’t reported back to me?!” I threw a random canister on the wall, and it almost hit Hunter square on the face. We haven’t been making any progress because of Ella. That’s why I’ve laid out my frustrations on these two useless servants.“Answer me!” I screamed.Grace wiped the sweat on her brow and said in a shaky voice. “I—I don’t know, commander. But the last time I spoke to

Ella“What was that?”I slammed the laptop shut and discretely wiped the tears from my eyes. I faced him with a calm demeanor and softly smiled. “Oh, I just finished. Thank you for letting me use your laptop.”He went closer to me. “No problem… " He paused for a while when he saw my face. "Are you okay?”I smiled, although it was forced. “Yeah, I’m okay,” I said, reassuring him.He held onto my face and observed my eyes. I tried to get away from him, but he only tightened his grip. His fingers trailed down my tear-stained cheeks, and his eyes held concern. “Tell me what’s wrong. I’m sensing that you’re not okay.”I don’t know if it was his concerned eyes or his comforting voice, but I felt tears flowing out of my eyes. I closed my eyes and tried to wipe my tears away, but he beat me to it.“Fuck. Why am I crying?” I choked out.

HeraI really shouldn’t have said that. I was afraid that my happiness would come with a price, but I wasn’t expecting that it’d be this soon.We were only a few minutes away from our borders when a group of wolves started chasing us. Arlo initially wanted to fight them off, but they outnumbered us by a lot.“Shit. How many are there?” He asked with his hands on the wheel.I counted the wolves and cursed under my breath. “There’s eleven of them.”“Fuck,” he said, driving faster than before.“We need to trail them off,” I said.“Got it.” He shifted the gear then stepped on the gas harder. He turned the steering wheel completely to the right, causing us to drift into the forest. I turned around to see the group of wolves stumble and trip against one another.“This is our chance! Let’s leave the car and shift into our wolves,” I s
My Rival, My Mate Chapter 47: The Faking
EllaI woke up with the sound of rustling clothes and light footsteps. I was expecting my body to ache, but it didn’t hurt as much as I imagined. Maybe it’s because Dalton took care of me very well during our intimate moment a while ago.I glanced at the wall clock and saw that it was already 10 PM in the evening. I glanced at Dalton, who was talking on the phone while putting on some clothes. He had a frown on his face, so I abruptly propped myself up with my elbows and looked at him curiously.“Where are you going?” I asked in a groggy voice.“Hera and Arlo are in trouble. I have to go fetch them,” he said quickly.“What?” My eyes widened in shock. “Where are they? Are they fine?”“Fortunately, they’re okay. I just don’t know where to find them. The call got cut off before they could tell me where they were. Do you want to join the search party?” He a

EllaI stayed in bed up until I didn’t hear any commotion from outside anymore. I didn’t think that I would be betraying them so early on. I quickly got up and changed into my clothes. I peeked outside the door to make sure that the coast was indeed clear. I walked with light steps towards their main office, glancing around from time to time.After much effort, I finally reached the office, only to find out that it was locked. Of course, I expected this, that's why I brought out the stolen key from my pocket.I turned the doorknob and was met with a clean office. I walked inside, suddenly feeling guilty for what I was about to do. I sat in front of the computer and cracked my knuckles. It was password-protected, and I had to think quickly if I wanted to get my objective done before somebody walked in. From what I know, this is Alpha Arlo’s current computer, so the password must be related to him.I wandered my eyes around, trying t

My Rival, My Mate Special Chapter: Another Baby?
Third Person’s Point of View It was another busy day in the Blood Shadow pack (what’s new), and everyone was running around, trying to do some last-minute touches before the commencement of Rivalee’s and Belluci’s first birthday party. In the midst of the bustling people, there stood two gentlemen on the stairway, observing a large portrait hung over the wall. “It’s up again, huh?” River asked. Dalton placed his hand under his chin. “Yes. How many times has it been? 12? 13 times since it has been replaced?” River nodded his head. “Yeah. I can’t believe Kairo always manages to hang it again after Arlo already destroyed each and every portrait.” “Well, that’s one thing about Kairo—he never gives up.” Ella, seeing the two idling idiots standing on the stairway, stomped over to where they were with crossed arms. “Stop looking at Kairo and Arlo’s ballet portrait and go to the front gate to greet the guests.

Third Person's Point of View"Dad, please. We haven't been on a date for like...ten months? Don't you think we deserve it?"Kairo merely glanced at his son before continuing to pack his back for the upcoming fishing trip that he was going to have with his friends."That's normal, son. When your mother and I had Laura, we didn't go on dates until she turned four.""That's a lie," Arlo retorted. "I clearly remember grandma Lily telling me that she'd often take care of Laura just so you and mom could go on dates."Kairo scratched the back of his head. "Well, can your date wait another month or so? I have fishing trips booked every weekend of the month."Arlo groaned. "We can't, dad! We'll be busy with Rivalee's and Belluci's joint birthday party by then! And you're going out fishing once again? Who are you even going with? Unce Dalton hasn't been fishing since Belluci's birth!""Well, it's his fault for having a baby so late. I'm g
My Rival, My Mate Special Chapter: The Baby Names
Third Person’s Point of ViewThey thought that there would only be peaceful days from now on—as Dalton and Arlo would be more focused on their children that they wouldn’t even have any time to ensue chaos. However, there was still one problem that they had to solve—the baby names.The two couples, along with River, Devyn, Emery, and Kairo, were seated on the living room couch, conversing about the topic of baby names.“I thought you’ve already decided on something during your term,” Emery said.“Yeah,” Ella said. “But Dalton thought that our little bean was going to be a girl and named him Princess.”“Then maybe you can just call him Prince,” Emery suggested.“That’s what I said!” Dalton exclaimed.“I feel like it’s too typical. And we’re not a kingdom, we’re a pack,” she defended.

The two women groaned in pain as they were carried down the stairs.The moment they got down to the living room, they saw their two husbands hugging each other."Thank you for saving my life, Arlo. Although, I would have totally won the competition if you just let me be."Arlo harshly patted his uncle's back, causing him to cough out. "I should have just let you choke to death."Devyn cleared his throat, causing the two men to look at them. Their eyes widened in surprise, and they rushed over to where they were when they saw their wives being carried by Devyn and River."Wh—What happened? Did you get hurt?" Arlo asked Hera."Love, did something happen?" Dalton asked his wife.Hera wanted to respond, but she was in too much pain that she couldn't even utter one word.Thankfully, Ella, who has
My Rival, My Mate Special Chapter: The Daddy Discourse pt.1
Third Person's Point of ViewThe Blood Shadow pack has never had a peaceful day after they discovered that both Ella and Hera are pregnant. Their husbands made it a pact to overdo each other in every aspect when taking care of their respective wives. From buying baby clothes to painting the nursery rooms and even down to the number of kicks that their babies have, the two men fought with pride.Even today, they were competing to see who could peel the most apples for their mates. Currently, they had a tower of sliced apples in front of them.Their wives, unbeknownst to the war happening in the kitchen, were happily conversing on the couch while watching a cartoon show."How far are you in the term right now?" Hera asked.Ella groaned. "I'm 42 weeks in right now. I'm already two weeks late to my delivery date, and by this time, I just want to give birth to this stubborn baby.""How about you?" she asked."

Third Person's Point of View"Do you think Hera's been acting weird these days?" Dalton asked, looking at the newly-wedded woman sitting on the couch and scarfing down on some lettuce.Not salad.Lettuce.Just plain lettuce.River clicked his tongue. "Well, my sister has been weird since birth, but I do agree that she's weirder these days.""Do you think it's because of Arlo? Has Hera finally lost her mind after marrying him? Maybe I should have warned her more about his weird mannerisms before their marriage," Devyn said.Dalton nodded his head in agreement."Are you badmouthing me behind my back?" a voice suddenly interrupted.The three men looked behind them and saw Arlo with his arms crossed, looking at them with raised eyebrows."You're weird. That's why your weirdness has rubbed off onto my sister," River blatantly said.Arlo frowned."There

Third Person's Point of ViewIt was a beautiful morning in the Blood Shadow pack—not a single sign of chaos ensuing. That is until a familiar scream was heard all around the house."WHAT?" Dalton shouted, turning off the television.Ella worriedly looked around the house, afraid that Dalton's scream would wake up the other pack members."Shh, why do you have to shout? I'm just asking you to be the chaperone for Lyra's field trip.""But why?" he whined. "I'm going fishing with Kairo and the boys."Ella clicked her tongue. "You went fishing three days ago, Dalton! Maria invited me out to the town, and it's been a long time since we hung out. Don't you think I also deserve to go out of the house?""Would that be okay, though? Won't you get tired considering that you're pregnant?"Ella sighed and crossed her arms together. "Are you assuming that pregnant women can't go out and have fun anymore?"His e
My Rival, My Mate Special Chapter: The Surprise Party
Third Person's View The Blood Shadow pack has had a busy year. From Dalton and Ella's marriage to Hera and Arlo's, and now it was the birthday of the pack's most treasured child—Lyra. Each member was assigned a certain task. Some were assigned to cook food, the others with decorating the interior of the house, while others were just idle onlookers waiting for a task to be assigned to them. Dalton, on the other hand, was given the most important task of all—distracting Lyra while all the preparations were still coming through. You might be wondering why the pack needs to distract an incoming five-year-old on her birthday party, but Lyra has become much smarter than they think—maybe even smarter than Dalton. She picks up on things very easily, and even on her last birthday, she found her birthday presents before people could give them to her. Before the preparations commenced, Dalton woke Lyra up. To his surprise, Lyra was already up, leanin

Third Person's Point of ViewNot even a month after Dalton and Ella’s marriage had passed when Arlo and Hera announced that they were planning on getting married. Emery, feeling a fiery passion in her heart, took the initiative to plan everything regarding the wedding. With her supernatural powers combined with her unwavering will, she was able to finish the preparations in just one month. And today, the most awaited event finally came.Hera and Arlo are currently separated in two rooms. They haven't seen each other for two days now because Emery planned a Bachelor and Bachelorette party for each of them. Arlo whined and groaned to his mother for arranging the party because he couldn't bear not seeing Hera on the days leading to their marriage.Arlo spent the entire night thinking of his mate and wishing that she was by his side. Hera, on the other hand, was having the time of her life. They went to an exclusive resort where they just drank and dance
