SAMANTHA'S POVI didn't know What to expect when I went to the hospital"How did you get a piece of the baby's hair?"he asked with a confused frown.I recalled the day that Maeve had come into our house unannounced. When I hadlifted the baby up to hand him over to Maeve,I had grew one of my claws and cut out some strands of hair.I knew that the only way to find out was to do it ourselves and asking maybe to come for a DNA test could cause problems.I bit my lip anxiously."What's the problem?" he asked."The problem is that I don't know how Maeve would outrightly lie about a baby for goodness sakes,it’s a baby and it's a very big deal"I responded.He wrapped an arms around me and pulled me closer on the waiting room chair as we waited for the lab scientist to hand us our results.We rose to our feet when he walked out through the steel doors of the laboratory.He shook his head."Look sir,Ma'am it appears that...let me just had over the results."He said.He handed a brown folder ove
MANUEL'S POV"Manuel please" She cried as I gripped her legs towards me in one swoop.She released her claws and dug into my arm but it didnt faze me.All I thought about was the pain I was feeling.The memory of her walking out of me.I couldn't imagingle her walking away from my life. Not because of the pack but for me."Manuel!"She shrieked as I felt my vision blur to a mask of soft blue.I had let my wolf out.My pain must have been intense for me to let him out so easily."Manuel please calm down." I jolted awake when I felt her hand on myI shook my head vehemently and retreated backwards as I snapped out of the daze."What were you thinking about?" She asked with concern etched unto her features."Samantha am so sorry.I dont know why I did that or what came over me.All I thought about was what I would do if your ever left me.I don't think I could handle it." He confessed."I know you must have felt that way but you have to trust that I wouldn't do anything to hurt you."She explain
SAMANTHA'S POV"How dare you come here not after throwing me out of your house?!Meave shrieked."Calm down Maeve, am only here to talk"I told her calmly.She threw back her head in a bitter laugh."I know what you both came to do but am telling you that this baby is his and am not going anywhere.No matter what you say or do I will be here to claim what rightfully belongs to my son.So the some you all get that through your thick skulls the better for all of us "she lamented.I Scoffed."What you just said didn't make any sense at all so let me come in and we can talk about all of this calmly like two adults "I told her.She hesitated but eventually left the way in order for me to walk into the room.The room was furnished with decorative pieces and it definitely spoke of one that had money to lazily spend. So why would she want to go to this extreme to blame Manuel for impregnating her.Its been over a year she had disappeared and not in any of the past months has she called to inform a
MANUEL'S POVThe drive back to Micheal's house was short probably because I was definitely going way past the speed limit. Once I was parked in his garage, I Stode into the house greeting his guard in passing."Okay Micheal, let what you have better be good."I told him as I plopped unto the couch.He sat beside me with his laptop in hand."Here Is something I found" He said sharing his screen with me.It was a picture of a document of some kind that.It was a birth certificate."It says here that you’re the father on the certificate. "he read aloud.Shaking his head vehemently,he spoke up."Man,I don't know what to believe anymore.it has all been so confusing ever since she stepped into the picture. "Micheal comfessed."I know I shouldn't have let that woman walk into our lives like that."I said as myhands fisted on my laps"Look Manuel I will believe and side with you any day and every day because I've known you for a very long time but what you should be considering right now is how
SAMANTHA'S POVAfter I had narrated everything to Manuel who had been patiently listening all this time I gauged his reaction and body language and all it gave out was a tense energy.For a brief minute he was quiet."How are you feeling about it?"he finally spoke."What do you mean?"I asked with a confused frown."What are you going to do about all that?"He asked again, this time he raised questioning eyes to me."After you've heard her story, do you believe her now?and What are you going to do about it then?" He explainedI let out a defeated sigh as I plopped unto the bed beside him."Honestly, i have no idea what to do next.All I do know is there would no reason for her to come here to pin a baby on you just like That.It seems that there is passion behind this whole plan.Thats if it's truly her plan "I told him.He nodded in agreement."It appears she couldnt have done it alone.She couldnt have done it alone.Thia is much bigger than anything she has ever planned .We just have to f
MANUEL'S POVI banged furiously at her door for a while before she has finally opened up."Who the hell is at the door?!Am coming! "he saidWhen she opened the door I strode past her and into the room."What the heck is wrong with you?To what lengths would you go to destroy marriage?"I bellowed fustrated."Manuel you have to calm down my baby is sleeping right now and it's a hassle putting him to bed.Hes quite restless and tenacious just like him.Do you know I just finished telling him tales of you and the I, the both of us and all the good times we had had before S..."she paused swallowing her next words as Manuel glared straight at her."Just cut that crap. Your story doesn't hold any water to me.I know you're lying""Anyway, what are you doing here?" She asked ignoring my statement."Look, all I want is for you to tell me why and how you got a video of me having sex with you and why did you show it to Samantha?" I asked.She gave me a bitter smile."She told you?.and here you are n
SAMANTHA'S POVI was still dumbfounded as I sat facing Manuel who had on a grim expression on his face. His cheat heaved up and down in anger as he regarded me with a bug from on his face.I tried reading his face but it revealed nothing.My forehead creased together in a frown"What is happening Manuel?Why are you like you?"I quizzed.He sat beside me turning his whole posture to face me.He pulled out something from his pockets and brought it to my line of vision. It appeared to be his cellphone.After a few fast clicks,a video popped up.It was the video that I had watched earlier on Maeve's phone.My eyes widened in disbelief."How how did you get this?" I asked incredulously.He shrugged putting the phone back into his pockets."Straight from the source. "He answered nk nonchalantly.I frowned in confusion. He must have sensed my misunderstanding and he let out a sigh of relief."No, whatever you're thinking, I don't know what it is but it's not.I got it from Maeve reluctantly if I
MANUEL'S POV"Alpha Manuel the pack wants to inform you that the rival pack at the borderline pack is not going to be giving is any problems anymore. "One of my assistants informed me as she walked instep beside me.I frowned on confusion."I thought that was resolved a while ago before my wedding"I questioned."It appears they weren't able to listen to our instructions so Beta Cris was sentto talk amicably to them.No one told you anything at the time because we didnt want to ruin your honeymoon "she answered.My lips widened in a smile."Thank you all for that. Please so let me know when cris returns"I told her as I rounded my desk to sit behind it.She nodded in acknowledgement after jotting down some things on paper."Thank you,you may go now"! instructed.She nodded and turned to walk out of the room but stopped halfway to the door.She retracted back and looked at him with a huge grin on her face.I stared blankly up her face.Congratulations to the both of you sir.Both you and
EPILOGUEOn the 24th of August,my beautiful daughter Ava was born.At the right time too."she's so lovely"Martha,my new mother said as tears welled up in her eyes."Isn't she?"Manuel said softly as he stretched out his hands to envelope the beautiful tiny creature in his hands."Daddy let me see,let me see!" Nora chirped jumping up and down just to get a good look of her baby sister."Yes!I finally have a sister. Thank you mummy!"she said excitedly.I laughed.Manuel planted a soft kiss on my forehead."You did great Samantha thank you for eveything. Thank you for coming into my life. "He said softly settling in the chair beside my bed with the baby in his arms."She's so tiny dad"Rey said in disbelief.I laughed."Yes she is darling. "He responded."Its amazing. Were we really this tiny too when we were little?" Finn added.My heart filled with joy looking at my family.Martha stood at Manuel's side with the baby in her arms and a warm smile on her face. While my kids surrounded Manu
SAMANTHA POVMy mind trailed back to all the seasons in our lives that seemed difficult that we never imagined we would scale through but we did. And I was eternally grateful to having the fate to meet Manuel in my life.He was indeed a blessing in my life.We had fought multiple times.***FLASHBACK***"There is no way that I will have a relationship in secret and I will never stand here and watch as other men sniff after what's mine" He told me grimly."I'm not an object!"I shouted.He arched a brow at me."No matter what you do now,you can't take it back. You're mine"he stated matter of factly."You're not saying that you love me but that I need to stay with you forever "I said."You're mated to me now.No man would be foolish enough to come close to you not when you belong to me now. "he said, pulling on his pants.I opened my mouth to speak but we were interrupted by the soft knock on the door."Mommy!"Nova's voice called out.I wrapped my robe tighter around my body. Walking over
MANUEL'S POVWe had come a long way. There was a lot of past behind us.I recalled all the moments I feared we wouldn't make it last.***FLASHBACK***How long will you keep up this act?"I asked."Am sorry, what act?" She asked feigning innocence.I groaned in frustration."You do not know what I went through there.They helped me and I couldn't just let your jealously get the best of you and have you laying baseless accusations against someone that had done absolutely nothing to you"I spoke.I watched as her expression changed with each word I spoke."Jealousy? Baseless accusations?" she repeated.I groaned out."You know that's not what I meant by that.I just...She turned to walk away. My hand snaked out to grip her arm."Manuel,let me go."She told me trying to struggle out of my grasp."Don't walk away from me when am talking to you."I warned holding her tighter."Manuel,let me go!" She cried.I saw tears pooled around her eyes as she struggled to break free.I dragged her into my of
SAMANTHA'S POVFive months later..."Why would you say that?"I heard his voice say in a hushed whisper."Is mummy sleeping?" Nora said."Look.Look.."Finn cried."Samantha?"Manuel spoke up"Doctor!she's awake!she's awake!"I heard him calling out.The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the intense glare of the overhead lightning.I raised my hand to cover my eyes until my eyes adjusted to the light.When the doctor were done with their tests and my vitals were checked, I watched the relief on all their faces.From Micheal and a beautiful female who was glued to his side.I couldn't hide the smile that crept up on my face which he returned with a boyish grin.My kids ran up to me.And with Manuel's help I was able to get them all on my bed.I was seated with my unbelievably huge belly inbetween my thighs.I had been told that I was asleep for over five months and that there had been any sort of hope of me recovering. And that it was a Miracle that I had survived evenafter loo
MANUEL'S POVOne second.Two seconds passed but still nothing.My heart pounding in my chest as I waited for the people to speak. The council looked smug on their table as they watched the tumult of emotions that passed through my face as I watched the crowd."Alpha Manuel!" Someone shouted from the crowd."Long live Alpha Manuel!" Another rose to cheer.And the rest stood chanting.Soon the room is filled with eruptions of cheers and claps as they chorused their answer."Long live Alpha Manuel!"They chanted in harmony."Order!order this minute! "The speaker rose shouting at the top of his lungs until the rook went silent again."You have all made your choice and we have all taken it into consideration. But until we have reached a final consensus, Alpha Manuel will be stripped of the Alpha Position and his Beta Rdyer will resume duties in his place until the trial is finalised."the man declared.The room erupted in an uproar of angry emotions."How dare you!"I shouted stilling the cr
MANUEL'S POV"What is this Manuel?" I cried."Where have you been?!" He said through gritted teeth."What is that supposed to mean?Are you monitoring my whereabouts now?"I asked in disbelief."Just tell me where you were Dammit!" He said.I jerked backwards at his raised voiceHe took steps backwards pacing away from me,running a hand through his hair."Why are you getting angry at me for?" She cried."You ...you've been having an affair all this while and I didnt know.How couldn't I have known. "I told her.Her mouth grew agape in feigned shock.I felt my blood boil mat the thought that she thought she could deceive me."Where is all this coming from Manuel?"She asked.I couldn't let her know that it was Maeve because it wasn't. All Maeve did was comform a suspicion that I've had for the longest time."That's not important. What's important is the fact that you've been secretive,absent and distant for a while now"'I told her.She raised her hand up in exasperation."That's because I
SAMANTHA'S POV"I don't think it would be easy to be able to find out the culprits" Steve said as he sat across from her sipping his coffee.We were seated in a coffee shop at the far end of town for a stakeout. We had found a recurring name in my mom's journal, Zain.My mom had described him as a nut-head that had wanted her mated to him.He had gone as far as going to her parents to get them arranged to be wed but she had blatantly turned him down stating that she loved my father who had appeared strategically in her life at the time.And after much difficulty they were wedded On their wedding day he had barged into her dressing room and threatened her to leave with him but she had refused. He had vowed that day that their marriage wouldn't last and that if It wasn't him that no-one would have her and that she should bid her time well and that the click had already began ticking.He had been dragged out because he had refused their offer of being escorted out.It did sound like th
MANUEL'S POV"Why the hell did you not take care of this Manuel?You didn't even tell me?!"cris scolded.I walked past him, pushing the door open to walk into my office as he trailed behind me."Everything that I did,I did for all of us. "I responded settling back in my cushioned chair."But still...Manuel what the hell were you thinking? Did you really think that you were going to keep this a secret forever?" He chastised leaning closer."I was hoping that nobody found out about it.That’s why I don’t understand how it was revealed and..."I explained...And you know that no matter what truce you may have called with the council, they were going to flick around this piece of information like vultures prey looking for their next dead meat"Cris finished. He slammed his fist on the desk with a bang. Unfazed I stared at the dent that he had made onmy furniture."Manuel it's not about you killing him. Everyone knew he deserved it but you had to know that eventually the truth would be reveal
SAMANTHA'S POV"Manuel Wait!Stop!"I said moving my lips away from his,moving my head to the side.His hand gripped my jaw stilling my movement."Samantha please let me.I love you. And I want to show you"he pleaded.I stared into his eyes watching his dark beautiful orbs glistening with desire.Desire for me.I nodded.He let out a sigh of relief,bringing his lips down towards my lips.Bringing his lips dangerously close to my lips,he nibbled on my lower lips waiting. The pain in my arm was forgotten as he pinned me closer to his body,bringing my belly closer to fill his need for me.I tried to side step him but wasn't successful, instead he lifted me up unto the desk, prying my thighs apart he slipped in between them wrapping my legs around his waist to cage me in.he growled impatiently slamming his lips unto mine.He rode my skirt higher up to reveal my red lace panties.His eyes lingered for a while before ripping them off."Manuel!"I exclaimed."I love the way you say my name"he said
