SHIRLEY HILTONWith the right shapewear, I snatched my waist and appeared flat in the tummy area, one could barely tell I was pregnant. I couldn't let gossip fly. I was no longer with Colton. I couldn't be in the pathetic category, not during the festival. Not appearing at the fountain that morning by Colton's side was only going to stir up reactions. "Can I at least remain by your side as you stir the sacred fountain?" I texted him and waited patiently in the backseat of my car for a reply. He left me on read. Perfect.I waited by the fountain in a wonderful white dress that flowed to my ankle but snatched my upper body. I dressed to fit the Luna position, I had a statement to make.Colton loved it better when I left little to the imagination, he was never going to look away from me, not when I was rocking his favorite look of me. A rat was feeding me all I needed to know about his confidential involvements. He informed me Colton had a meeting that morning with Hornsgate commande
ALLISON KEELERMy fingers remained crossed the goddess created the most perfect opportunity for Matt to meet Maeve. I had a few things of sentimental value back in the Darkmoon Pack that I wasn't given the chance to take along with me. Maeve knew me so well, he knew just how much the little box carved out of an oak tree meant so much to me. It couldn't be hard for Matt to stealthily bring it back here for me. I paced the room I was offered to stay in. I did nothing here other than to eat and wait for the days to go by. It was a lot easier now Faye was gone. It was more peaceful. I didn't get to meet Flynn and Faye's family. I didn't get to wander to the wing where they all stayed in the mansion. They were not curious enough to want to meet me until this evening. I was having dinner with them. They were willing to have me share tables with them. Or, did they not know I was an Omega? Maybe Faye had hidden that information from them which was quite unlikely.My stomach was larger
SHIRLEY HILTON"Colton!"I knocked on his bedroom door after the costume parade. After blessing the parade he had retired to his mansion. "The Alpha isn't back, yet!"I turned around to see Maeve behind me with her head slightly bowed."Where is he?" I demanded walking towards her. "My apologies, I have no idea, ma'am!""Lead Hornsgate's Luna to the bar I'll be waiting there." She bowed and turned away. I adjusted my dress and headed towards the bar.I settled on the high barstool, my mind dwelling on what I was going to say to Faye. First, I was going to find out what her relationship with Allison was like. If they befriended each other then it was going to be a great task getting into Faye's head. My eyes roamed the drinks nicely sitting on the shelves. My eyes settled on the tequila bottles and decided which to go for. You can't drink. The tiny voice in my head reminded me. Yes, I could drink. A baby wasn't going to stop me from having the time of my life. Just then, Maeve w
ALPHA GRIMSBY EVANS Karla disentangled her long limbs from mine as she slipped out from the warm and comfortable bed coverings. "Another meeting with the Darkmoon Pack Commanders? So much for the festivals." My eyes remained fixated on her perfectly sculpted body as she went for her deserted clothes on the floor. I fought the growing urge to pull her back to bed and make love to her all afternoon. But there was an important meeting with Colton in a few hours, a meeting I needed to be prepared for. Colton wanted his mate back. He wasn't the guy with perceptible emotions but I could see the desperation in his eyes. It was the utmost avenue I needed to exploit his weakness. If I could take advantage of this weakness, if I could get into his head then I could lay claims on his territories. If I could divert his wealth to my territories then I was said to become one of the wealthiest territories. His need to bring Allison back to his territory had hit me like a bolt from the
ALLISON KEELER I was eager to meet Matt. It had been about three weeks now since they returned from the Darkmoon Pack. A part of me knew he was unable to get the little oak box from Maeve, if he did, he would have given me a while ago. But I wanted to meet him because he was the only one I could talk freely to here. But it seemed he had returned to Hornsgate with Grimsby but how could he when Faye was his boss? Was he avoiding me? The latter seemed like the case. So much for promising to be around more often. I was heavily pregnant. It was my third month and I was certain I could give birth any day. The thought of having a baby felt so exhilarating, so frightening. I barely could move, I felt so heavy. My meals were brought up here which made me stay indoors, practically trapped in this room by the window all day. Finally, it was going to happen. I was going to have my baby. There was a knock on the door. I had people come around here only during mealtimes. Who could it
ALLISON KEELER "I think I'm having my baby!" I announced with my eyes searching Matt's eyes for an assurance I was going to be alright. Darlene, the girl who usually brings my meals, walked in further into the room and placed my lunch on the table. "I'll call the clinic to send in an ambulance. You're going to be fine!" Matt instantly took the amulet from my neck, slipping it in the pouch. I couldn't care about the amulet or why he was acting so sneaky, all I cared about was having my baby most healthily and safely. Darlene held my hand and remained by my side. "It's going to take forever before the ambulance gets here!" Darlene's panic was perceptible in her faltering tone. "Do you have any other options?" Matt sounded calm as though he had the situation under control. We didn't wait as long as I had imagined when I heard the ambulance. My water broke then I got to my feet. It really was happening. "Keep the box safe, please, it's all I have from my mother." I coun
ALLISON KEELERI was more than eager now to have my baby in my arms, the nurse was taking forever to bring him. This had me terribly scared. "Is everything alright with him?" Tears trickled down my face. "I saw him, looks healthy like a horse." Matt offered me an encouraging smile. "The most important thing now is that you're awake. I've watched you sleep for four days.""And Faye allowed that?""I resigned." He shrugged and smiled cheekily. I blinked rapidly at him. "I'm fine now, go back to your work!""I don't want to. My loyalty is now with you."I chuckled amusedly, "I thought for a second you were going to say your loyalty is with my son.""You and your son, that's where my loyalty lies.""We're not going to pay you, we don't have money." I lose interest in the conversation, "What is taking so long?""Want me to go check?" He got to his feet. And headed towards the door leaving me alone with my thoughts. If something has happened I never was going to forgive myself. I said
ALLISON KEELER Darlene was of great help to me, she assisted every time she could drop by. As an inexperienced mom, I went about taking care of my baby with maternal instincts. I had no one with experience to talk to, Darlene was equally as clueless as I was. I breastfed my son and rocked him in my arms singing sweet lullabies for him. My heart swelled each time he looked me in the eyes. There was a bond I believed nothing could break, a bond I was determined to strengthen for as long as I lived. The door flew open, startling not just me but my baby. Faye was by the door. Her face suggested she was not pleased to see my son. "Did I not say no to that thing in this mansion?" "He's my son. If I stay here then he'll stay. There's no one else to take care of him." I used the most soft tone I could so as not to rile her up. "You have options, he can put him up for adoption." She came closer to me, "You don't deserve that baby in your arms." "Yes I do, it's why the goddess
