It's been three days since I’ve been stuck here, without any proper food or clean water. My throat is so parched that my voice had become huskier for the past few days. My mother and Maria aren’t in any better shape, though. However, at least, they were given one meal a day. I’ve only eaten what they threw in my cell since Norman decided to punish me by not giving me anything at all.
For the last three days, majority of my mind has been taken up by Dalton. It would be a lie if I said that I didn’t hope to see him again. But, this is for the better. It’s best that we live our separate lives. I don’t want to drag him into this shitty life I have. I don’t want him to face a vile being like Norman.
Speak of the devil—Norman came into the room with a bright smile on his face. He clapped his hands and went in front of my cell. I clicked my tongue and turned away from him. Seeing his face just fucking ruined my day.
“Oh, my dear Ella! Why are you in suc

Ella“Oh god,” my mother paced back and forth. “You haven’t been eating well for the past three days! The environment and ventilation are also horrible here. We must get you out of here as soon as possible to keep the baby safe,” she said in a hasty voice.I, on the other hand, stood frozen on my spot, not being able to believe what I had just heard. Did she just say what I think she said? I’m pregnant?Maria smiled in glee. She patted me on the back. “I’m so happy for you, Ella! You’ve always wanted to have a family. Now, we can have your child play with Eli once they grow up…I hope,” she said the last two words softly.I turned to my mom and held her hands. “Maybe you made a mistake, mom. It could just be because I haven’t been eating for the past few days that you’ve found some abnormalities in my stomach. Check again,” I urged her.She sighed and held ont

Arlo “Good job, my spy,” he said, looking behind me. I froze as I felt a presence behind my back. I bit my lips as I heard the familiar sound of his footsteps nearing where we were. Fuck. I could have never expected this. I turned around and saw him smugly walking over to where we were. He had his hands in his pocket, and no signs of remorse were shown on his face. My eyes narrowed as he stopped in front of us. “Anderson,” I muttered under my breath. He nonchalantly waved at me and smiled. “How’s it going, Alpha Arlo?” All of us stood frozen, shocked by his unexpected betrayal. He went next to Norman and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He looked at our shocked faces and smirked. “You never expected for this to happen, huh?” “How could you do this?” I asked, disappointment evident in my voice. He scoffed. “Don’t be so surprised, Arlo. You had this coming.” Devyn growled at my side. Since uncle Dalton, who was the

Dalton“Let me go! Hera! I need Hera!” Arlo lashed out while I held him back. His eyes are bloodshot, and it seems like he has lost his sanity. He was slowly escaping from my grip, so I called for the others to help me.“Fuck. A little bit of help,” I squeezed out as I tried holding him back with all of my strength. River and Ella quickly went to my side and restrained Arlo’s arms.“Arlo! Calm the fuck down!” I shouted at him, hoping that he would stop with all of this ruckus.I really thought that we would be facing our end just a couple of moments ago. When we were surrounded by about five hundred soldiers, I had already accepted our fate, but Hera came in to save us at the last moment. If it weren’t for her,

Hera“Welcome to paradise,” Norman said, guiding me towards his territory. I looked at the beat-up tents laid out on the ground and saw some very malnourished children playing among themselves in the dry gravel.They looked at me with curiosity as I walked down the path with Norman. I smiled at them, but their mothers quickly hid them away when they saw us approaching. I frowned as I looked at their fearful eyes.We went past them and arrived at a luxurious house. Compared to the other houses within the vicinity, this house stood out too much. Norman opened the door to the luxurious house and invited me to come in. What welcomed us was a number of young teenagers cleaning up the house.“Cook something up for my precious daughter. Bring it up to my

DaltonI looked up from my laptop then glanced at Kairo, who was in the same state as me. We didn’t get any sleep at all since we were so busy coming up with a new strategy. I laughed when I saw him dozing off in his seat. He glared at me when he heard me chuckling.“You look fucking awful,” I said.He sat up straight and raised one of his eyebrows up. “Do you think you’re any better? If I look awful, then you look straight out of a trash can.”“Hey!” I said in an offended voice. “I got way more girls than you during high school!”“It’s because you love attention. More people liked me back then, you loser. I just turned them down all,” he said with a smirk.I scoffed. “Really? Then do you remember that girl during our freshmen year? You said that you liked her, but she turned you down because she liked me better.”He rolled his eyes. &ldquo

Hera“I lo—,”Shit. I heard someone turning the doorknob, so I quickly put down the phone and sat back down on the couch. I pretended to read a book while leaning down on the couch. I tried calming down my breath to look as natural as possible.The door opened, and Norman came in. I greeted him with a wide smile, to which he responded with a raise of eyebrows. My heart started beating louder. He didn’t hear the phone call I made just now, right?I cleared my throat the moment he went in. “How’s it going, dad? Did you fix whatever it is that needs fixing?” I awkwardly asked.He paused for a while but eventually nodded his head. “Yeah...,” he trailed off. He fully closed the door and faced me. “I heard that there were some people who tried to escape from our pack, so I had to deal with them. I’m not very keen on betrayers. I mean, I gave them everything they needed for the past years,

HeraI scoffed as Anderson brought me my supper. “You really betrayed us to become Norman’s lackey? You gave up your respectable Beta position just to do this?” I asked, gesturing towards the plate of food in front of me.“Shut up, bitch. I’ll kill you if you don’t shut your mouth.”I laughed. “Stop bluffing. I know that you ain’t calling the shots here. At least in the Blood Shadow pack, you had your own autonomy. Now, you’re just moving according to Norman’s orders. Aren’t you ashamed?”He threw his head back and laughed like a maniac. “You don’t understand. I don’t want to be in the Blood Shadow pack. There are too many people stronger than me back there. At least here, I know that I have the upper hand. Of course, you can say those things. You just had to be mated to Arlo, didn't you? You’re so fucking lucky that you don’t even have to strive ha

Hera“Miss Hera! I think they’re here!” Nicolette said, barging into my room. I woke up and rubbed my eyes awake.“What time is it?” I croaked out.“It’s 3:30 AM in the morning!” She chirpily said.My eyes widened in surprise. Why the hell did Arlo decide to attack this early? I turn to Nicolette. “Why are you up so early?”“Nicolas and I were gathering some firewood in the forest when we came across more than a thousand people! I ran here to tell you that they might be your pack.”I brushed my hair back with my hand and finally stood up. I ruffled Nicolette’s hair and put on my jacket. “You guys did a great job. Make sure to stay here with your brother and your mom while I’m out. I’ll have someone get you after all of this is over, alright?”Her eyes sparkled in joy. “I will. Good luck!”I smiled at her as I carefu

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
