LENA.

The next day, we were to prepare the meal for the entire family. I did as instructed. I stayed in the kitchen while the other maids did the dishing of food. As much as Joana wanted me to go over there, I just couldn't bring myself to face Alexander. “Lena, what do you plan to do now that high school is over?” Joanna asked while I chopped the legumes she had passed to me.

We were now cooking for the workers including ourselves.

I paused for a second before I continued. “Well, nothing. What I have in mind I don't think that I can do it again.” I continued to chop.

“What?” She asked.

I smiled a bit.

“surgical oncologist.”

Ever since I lost one part of my breast, I had done many resseaches and I figured many women were battling with this issue of breast cancer. I know how hard it is seeing myself with one breast. I would like to stop it from happening to many other women. However, my result from high school couldn't do it.

“Really?” Joanna asked and I nodded.

    ALEXANDER.I knew my mother was lying that day and I had to find out the truth. Lena was waiting for me and I really needed to meet you with her. However, I knew that if I left my family and didn't solve this issue it could come back and hurt us. I had to find out everything she was hiding hence I left my woman and never went back to her. My mother whom I had thought was innocent turned out to be the nightmare. She Released Isaac’s mom cheating videos to the public making her to be hated by her pack members. Mom returned to my father and my dad accepted her back. When he saw her, he was almost moved to tears which didn't seem like what a man who had abandoned his mate would do. Why did Isaac’s mom cheat in the first place? There were so many secrets and I had to untie them little by little while leaving my love life out of it. Lena went back home disappointed, I watched her and I desperately wanted to pull her to myself. But if I did, I would leave this unsettled and eventually pu

    LENA. It has been six months since I left the pack house. Six months since I was sent out by Tina and lied against by Alexander. I've been in Daniel’s house, helping him with every little thing, and this way I was learning myself. To be an oncologist wasn't easy. Taking the exams was hard work as well. This was the only way I had been able to cope though. To forget my past and move on from the pain. Daniel had been quite official with me. He was always on his own, and he only called me whenever it was time to work. “How old are you?” He asked me when I was helping him with some research. Daniel had a job to do, a critical one that involved two women which was to be done on the same day. I watched him with so admiration. “I turn nineteen in two days,” I said. It would soon be one year since I found out Alexander was my mate. Since the love that was never going to be reciprocated began. “Good.” “Your exam is in two weeks as well, you need to study harder for the next two weeks

    ALEXANDER. Six months and all I had done was watch her from afar. It was all I could do, watch her from afar. Watch her handle projects. Talk about cancer and ways to prevent it. I saw his much she loved it so I made Daniel include her in it all - god, she was so pretty and intelligent. I knew she was always smart but her environment was restraining her. Her exam was in three days and once she passed the examination, she was moving to another country where her college was. I wouldn't be seeing her again. I feared that she would find another man and fall in love with him. She had not for once thought about me or spoken about me. Edward told me, the guy I sent to watch over her. He was also the one I used in delivering the locket with her mother’s photo. Hence I came up with a plan. As much as I couldn't be with her right now, she was still mine and I loved her so much. It was not a good plan, Tyrant hated it as well. “It could affect her studies!” Tyrant said. I knew. I knew

    LENA. “He just wants to be sure he can impregnante a woman. If you truly become pregnant then you can keep the child. He will always send child support,” Daniel explained. All I did was stare at him. I tried to talk but I was unable to. Daniel said that there was a man who had low sperm count. He had been on treatment for close to two years now and he finally wants to be sure he could inpregnant a woman now. Couldn't he just get a girl and impregnated her? I asked. “No, he needs a decent girl. You are the only decent girl I know. You need this support and connection to make it in this world. I suggest you take it for real because if you don't then you would have to go back to your pack.” He answered.I paused for some second, tears building in my eyes at the thought of going back to my back. I hated the reality of it. The idea of going back to my pack house. It seemed it was better for me to let myself be an incubator, a test experiment. I didn't have much choice, I had to do t

    ALEXANDER. With my baby in her belly. Raising the baby and receiving child support, no man would be able to snatch her away from me. She was going to be mine forever and I had nothing to fear. This was the only way I could make her completely mine, trap her for myself alone. No one except for me has the right to call her ‘mine’ except for me. I could never bear the thought of another man claiming her. I just know it would hurt like shit. It would hurt so much and I would never be able to bear it. This was the reason for this plan. I knew very well that it was wrong and it would hurt her if she found out later but then I am certain she would forgive me. Lena had a forgiving heart. I had told Daniel to feed her alcohol. Plus, I used a masking cream to mask my scent. This way she wouldn't know that it was me. I walked into the room, and the light in the hallway cast my shadow on the floor, next to the bed frame that she laid on. I shut the door very quickly before she would be able to

    LENA. The morning after was colder than I expected. My body ached in places I hadn’t felt before, and the unfamiliar scent of the strange man lingered in the sheets. It was a subtle, musky scent, one I couldn’t seem to shake, no matter how much I tried. It seemed famillair too, in a way that I couldn't shake off. I sat up slowly, my body protesting the motion, my body ached. The stranger was certainly a strong man who knew how to fuck a woman. He pushed his entire cock into me and god, it felt good. I wouldn't lie, I loved his hands on me. Perhaps it was because I got really drunk. I didn't know the difference between what I wanted and what I needed to survive. I blinked a few times, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep, as I was tired yet I couldn't shake off the thought of that man. The stranger. The night. The way he had looked at me with those piercing eyes, as though he could see through all my layers and right into the soul I kept hidden from the world. He had said nothi

    LENA. The warm water cascaded down my body, washing away the remnants of sleep and the soreness that lingered from the night before. As I stood under the spray, I let my mind wander. The stranger’s words from the letter replayed in my head, over and over again.“My future oncologist…”Why did that line make my chest feel tight? It was ridiculous. I shouldn’t be thinking about him like this — whoever he was. The only thing that mattered was the deal we made and what I stood to gain from it. Still, the way he had written those words… as if he saw something in me that even I struggled to believe.I shook my head, pushing the thoughts aside. No use getting caught up in fantasies. I had work to do.After drying off and slipping into a simple white top and jeans, I grabbed my bag and headed out. The library was quiet today, just the way I liked it. The smell of books and the soft hum of silence made it easy to forget the weight pressing on my shoulders. I found my usual corner by the windo

    LENAI shut the door to my room behind me, my heart heavy with emotions I couldn’t quite name. Daniel’s anger still lingered in the air, suffocating me even though he was nowhere near. What was he hiding? His reaction had been so extreme, so defensive. Why would he get that angry over me checking his laptop? The more I thought about it, the more unsettled I became. What was so big about the stranger that he didn't want me to know? I sighed and moved over to my window seat, the place where I often curled up with my books. It overlooked a small garden that belonged to the neighbors. The roses there were blooming, their soft pink petals swaying gently in the breeze. Usually, the sight calmed me, but today, my heart wouldn’t stop racing. I tried to get lost in the pages of my medical textbook, but the words blurred together. No matter how hard I tried to focus, my mind kept drifting.Daniel’s behavior was odd, but what was more confusing was the stranger. His letter had left an impressio

    LENAI ran as fast as my legs could carry me, escaping each corridor like I was stuck in a maze. My child. That was all that rang in my head. I just wanted to see my child. And if Alexander touched even one strand of her hair, I would fight him. That much I knew. Being a mother had taught me a greater love than anything else in this world.The elders behind me yelled at me for running too fast. They said their Alpha was dangerous, that I wasn’t meant to rush into the room—but I ignored them. I ran even faster.Finally, I shoved the door open and stepped inside. My eyes scanned the room quickly—and there she was. Isna, sitting between his legs, helping him with a bandage.I didn’t even notice the blood on the floor.I rushed to her, my feet barely touching the ground, and snatched Isna up into my arms. I didn’t even really look at Alexander. My mind was fixed entirely on her—my daughter. But the scent that radiated off him was… toxic. Heavy. Intimidating. It was the kind of scent that

    ALEXANDER. “Thunk!” “Thunk!” “Thunk!” I could still hear the sound of the needle forced into my skin, and the liquid spreading through my body. I could feel the hands of the matron I had trusted around me as she released the entire thing into me. Just before my eyes completely closed up. Just like that, it began. Day after day, she came and injected me with venoms that stung. Day after day, I began to lose my senses. My memories began to jam with each other. I saw faces and memories I wasn't sure belonged to me. Voices and thoughts that weren't mine. “But why do we keep injecting him?” One of them, she. Tina. I wasn't sure, my memory was quite hazy had asked. “To jumble his memory, to make him do as we say. He is going to be Alpha and he will be under my control.” The older woman sat next to me, her fingers crawled over my skin. I couldn't quite place her voice. It sounded familiar, like I knew her but then I didn't. I couldn't recollect her face. Her memory was there, in m

    LENA“And who are you?” I raised a brow at the young man who boarded the plane. He wore a Barcelona jersey and dirty, crazed blue jeans. He looked ridiculous—mostly because he hadn’t even bothered to comb his hair. It was wild and all over the place.Still… he was handsome.Sharp jawline. Tall. Muscles filling out the jersey.But I was irritated. Why was he dressed like that? And more importantly—why was he on this plane? It was a private jet the Black Moon Pack arranged for me. They didn’t want anyone knowing their Alpha was receiving therapy.I looked up from my tablet, clearly demanding an answer.He glanced over his shoulder like there might be someone else I was talking to.“Oh, Dr. Lena, what they say about you is true,” he said with a smile.I raised a brow, unimpressed.“Well, I’m Dr. Austin. I’m your partner!” he added.My eyes widened. Dr. Austin? The director? The expert in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy—known for handling extreme cases in the most unique ways?Why was he dre

    LENA. SEVEN YEARS LATER. “A transfer letter?” I asked, dropping the letter in front of my boss, Rodrigo. Doctor Rodrigo was the name I loved to call him. “Yes.” He sighed. “There is a critical patient I want you to take.” I chuckled. “But you couldn't inform me prior? You just want to send me back to the west pack, why? I don't want to go there.” It had been six years. Six years I had avoided that place that traumatized me. Now, I was leaving fine. I was now a doctor, a successful one. Although I couldn't be an oncologist like I wanted to be, I seemed to find peace in speaking with people and healing them with my knowledge. I have had countless cancer patients come in here. I have had many patients who needed me after their boobs were cut off. I could relate to them hence it was easy for me. Now I have a Bachelor’s in Psychology. I was also a doctor of psychology which earned me the title Dr. As well as a licensed professional counselor (LPC) All of these in six years. Jenna

    LENA. The hospital was extremely nice. I had never been in a private hospital my entire life with private nurses. Daniel said they were perks of the contract which absolutely sat right with me. Being with a father who hated me and a stepmother who hated to see me, I never got the luxury of being treated in a hospital. All the times I had been sick, I got drugs from the store. Nurse Giana was my private nurse, she was extremely nice and she told me to settle in while my test result came in. I rubbed my belly, hoping I would be pregnant. I had to be pregnant so I could continue to enjoy these perks. As much as it pained me that I had to leave Alexander, I couldn't let go of this opportunity. Here I was being pampered like a celebrity when I had gone through scorn my entire life. This was it, the moment that I so desperately prayed for all these past years. Jenna walked in after Nurse Giana left. Jenna had a look of panic on her face as she stepped in. Yet, she looked extremely gorg

    ALEXANDER. Not long Daniel texted me, she fainted. I was working with the matron to know what really happened to her mother. “If you find anything, tell me,” I said. With this, I ran out of her office and got to my car as soon as soon as possible. What could have happened? Why did she faint? These were the questions that I had in my head throughout the entire drive. My head was calculating. Perhaps she felt dizzy because of the pregnancy? She really could be pregnant. She could be carrying my child. The thought of it alone made me so excited.And I was super happy to get to the hospital.Just when I was about arriving at the hospital, the matron sent a message to me. “Alex, it is truly connected to your mom and wife. You have to come over right now!” I read the text and somehow I was not shocked. My mother and Tina had already done so much. It was my fault for believing every words that came out of my mom in the first place. I forgot that even blood related people could still

    LENA. It had been three weeks since I and the stranger had intercourse. Three weeks but I haven't felt anything. Daniel walked into my room and dropped some books for me to read for my upcoming exam. I haven't been speaking to him since the incident between us. “Thank you, “ I whispered. “Uhm…” He paused at the doorpost, his eyes were on me when I raised my head. “Have… do you feel anything recently?” He asked. I had also been watching myself lately but then I had felt nothing. Werewolf pregnancy was faster than humans and even humans should feel pregnancy symptoms at two weeks. “No,” I said. “Lena, you can't be tricky with this. You have to tell me everything.” His words were more like a warning. I said nothing.Did he think I would hide the fact that I am pregnant? “I used the pregnancy strip yesterday, it showed negative. I am not pregnant, yet,” I said reading through the lines of the medical textbook. Daniel nodded before he left. I sighed. I wonder why I haven't gotte

    ALEXANDER. Lena had to be the one giving me the ability to wake up every day. The thought of she carrying my baby in her belly gave me so much strength to go ahead with my life. To find the truth and make everything right. The other day, I had seen her at the library, sitting by the window, lost in a book. She always looked the most peaceful when she was reading. There was something about the way she tucked her hair behind her ear, the way her lips moved slightly as she read, completely absorbed in the world of words.I had wanted to go to her. To sit beside her, to hear her voice again. To touch her. To feel the warmth I had been missing. To tell her she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seenBut I didn’t. I couldn't. We needed this space to sort things out. Also because this—this life she was building—was what I had always wanted for her. A life where she was free, where she had friends, where she wasn’t bound to me and the chaos that came with our families. I would do them
