“I’m sorry, Dalton,” he said, looking down on the ground.
My strength finally faltered, and the tears that I’d been holding finally slipped down my weary face. I shook my head, feeling like a crazed lunatic.
“No...no. She can’t be—I can’t—,” I sobbed through labored breaths.
It had been a long time since I cried. I think the last time that I’ve cried was when Desiree died. Now, I once again failed to protect the woman I’ve come to love.
A tear also slipped from Dante’s face as he clenched his fists together. “I’m sorry that I couldn’t do anything about your child. I tried, I really did. But in the end, the sword had punctured her abdomen too deeply that I didn’t have any choice.”
I stopped mid sob and looked at him with wide eyes. “Then, is Ella okay?”
He nodded his head. “Yeah, she’s resting right

Hera“It isn’t your fault, baby. You should rest now,” Arlo muttered on my neck.I shifted on the bed and faced him with worried eyes. “But I can’t help but think that it is. If I were more careful, and if I turned around on time, then she didn’t have to save me at all. Now, she’s in the clinic because of me.”Arlo scooted closer to me and held onto my nape. He led my head to his neck, and I breathed in his scent to comfort me. “It’s not your fault. Like uncle Dalton said, it’s not anyone’s fault aside from Norman and Anderson. You need to forgive yourself, Hera. Ella, herself, doesn’t blame you for what had happened to her.”I let out a deep breath and eventually nodded my head. “You’re right.”He ruffled my hair. “And uncle Dante said that she’s alright. Moreover, everything’s fine now. We have already defeated Norman and his ar

Ella My initiation and Hera’s coronation had just finished, and I couldn’t be happier. Some people from the Blood Shadow pack came to congratulate me, and I didn’t even know why I was so scared to face them in the beginning. “Congrats, once again!” Maria said, patting my arm. “I’ll go see what Constantine and Eli are up to, so I’ll have to leave you at the moment.” “Yeah, go ahead.” “Will you be fine here by yourself?” I sighed. “Maria, I’m 33, not 3! I can handle myself quite well. Besides, Dalton is probably going to be back any second now.” She laughed. “Alright. I’ll head out now.” I nodded my head and waved goodbye. I grabbed my drink on the table and fiddled with the straw using my mouth. I was all alone at our table since Maria had already gone home with Constantine and Eli. Eli was getting sleepy, so Constantine had already put him to sleep. Dalton, on the other hand, saw some of his high school friends, and he

Dalton“So, Amara, huh?” Ella said, raising her eyebrows at me. The party just ended and we were now in our rooms. She just finished washing up while I was already lying down on the bed.I groaned and thrashed around the bed like a child. “Why do you have to remind me again? Ever since I met you, I didn’t even think about other people.”She smirked as if determined to tease me. “Why are you so defensive, huh? You must be quite excited to see her.”I straightened my back and looked at her with frightened eyes. “Do you hear yourself? You’re being ridiculous,” I whined. “I even forgot about meeting her. I just gave her a passing compliment and she mistook it for real feelings.”“So, you admit that you gave her attention?”“Ella,” I groaned out, wanting to change the topic.She chuckled and sat down on the bed, ruffling my hair. I loved the way

DaltonHer eyes widened in surprise when she saw me. She tried running away, but I held onto her wrist and pushed her inside the room before she could do so. I locked the door so she wouldn’t have a chance to escape.“Who is that?” Dante asked, looking at her curiously.Amara stood still with her head bowed down while I massaged the bridge of my nose.“It’s Amara,” I said.He frowned. “Amara? The daughter of Alpha Roger? What are you doing in our pack?”“Oh, my father tasked my older brother to take care of the collaborative project with your pack, so I decided to come with him.”I stopped massaging my nose bridge and looked at her with inquiry. “What do you mean by that?”She smiled. “I’ll be living here for the rest of the month.”I sighed deeply and bit my lip. “Arlo didn’t tell me this,” I whispered under my br

MATURE CONTENT AHEADIf you are a minor or if you are not comfortable with this type of content, please skip to Chapter 71.DaltonI’ve been hiding from Amara this past week, and I feel like I’m going insane. Ella has also been suspicious since I’ve barely wanted to go out of our room, but I just couldn’t tell her why I’m having this ordeal. I’m afraid of what her reaction is going to be when she finds out that she has become infertile. If I can prolong her happiness even longer, then I’d do anything.I held her in my arms, although I still had a lot in my mind. She must have noticed my uncertainty because she woke up and looked up at me with worried eyes.She shifted her position on the bed, so she was now facing me. “Is there something wrong? You’ve been off this past week. I’m getting worried.”

EllaI woke up to see that Dalton wasn’t by my side. I furrowed my eyebrows. That’s strange. He usually doesn’t go out early these days. More than that, we just made love yesterday, so how could he leave me all alone here?I sat up and felt a dull ache on my perineal area. I winced and prepared to feel something gush out of my body. However, I did not feel the usual wetness. I smiled. Dalton must have cleaned me up before he left. I glanced over to the bedside table and saw a sticky note stuck on the night lamp.“Sorry that I couldn’t be there when you woke up. I really wanted to, but Arlo had fallen sick, and he needs someone to take care of the project while he’s out. I’m sorry, love,” it read. It also had a bunch of drawn emojis on it, making it very cute.I smiled and placed it inside the drawer. It’s a good thing that he’s cute, or I’ll probably be sulking right now. I went to the bath

Ella“Love, what are you doing here?”I crossed my arms in front of my chest and presented them with a fake smile. “Why? Can’t I be here?”He vigorously shook his head. “No, no. That wasn’t what I was insinuating. I just didn’t expect you to show up here. I’m actually very happy that you found time to visit,” he said in a nervous voice. Sensing that I was becoming suspicious, he smiled sheepishly and kissed my hair.Jordan cleared his throat from behind us, causing all of us to look at him.“Ah, right. Jordan, this is Ella. Ella, this is Jordan, Alpha Roger’s son and the representative leader of the Moonlight pack in this project.I glanced at Jordan briefly. “Yeah, we’ve met.”Dalton furrowed his eyebrows. "Oh. How long have you been—“His statement was cut short when Amara held onto his arms and went closer to us. I could see

EllaAnother week has passed, but I feel like nothing has changed. I’ve been holding onto Dalton’s words of him “fixing everything,” but he still isn’t treating me the way he did before Amara came into our pack.I woke up to a cold bed once again without Dalton by my side. Great. I already feel like this day is going to be awful.I dragged my heavy body out of bed and walked to the bathroom to freshen up. I was quite slow with my movements since I had a lot on my mind.On the good side, my body started feeling better. I don’t feel the abdominal pain that has been bothering me for quite some time now. My mother had also stopped giving me the concoction that she used to give me every morning.Sensing that my mood wouldn’t get any better with me just sitting inside the room, I decided to go to the kitchen.To my surprise, Hera and Arlo were sitting down next to each other, sharing one bowl of fruit amon

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

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
