Tabitha was awakened by her mother the next morning. She had been unable to sleep for the majority of the night, haunted by thoughts of what her family had done to her. The weight of the betrayal made it difficult for her to find peaceful rest.Tabitha's heart felt heavy. Despite the evidence laid before her eyes, she still couldn't fully believe that the people she had loved all her life were her enemies.Recalling the painful memory of catching Donald cheating on her with her selfish sister and how he took Bianca's side when confronted the night before, Tabitha's heart broke anew.Wailing, she revisited those distressing memories and cried even more as the reality of her family treating her like an object to be used however they pleased, sank in.They weren't her family all along, but did they have to mistreat her just because they weren't biologically related?The numerous hurtful thoughts that swirled in her head tormented her throughout the sleepless night.Tabitha only managed t
Tabitha wasn't surprised at what just happened. From the moment the spit landed on her mother's face, It didn’t take a genius to know, from her mother’s recent action, that she had it coming. What Tabitha hadn't expected was for the slap to be really painful. Her cheek stung, and she was almost close to wearing her emotions on her face again.As she had already vowed to herself to not shed any tears, Tabitha forcefully endured the pain she felt. If anything, the pain only fueled her anger and desire for revenge. This pain, she'll make them feel it too. All of them. She didn't know how, when, but should the opportunity arise, she would.Lucinda wasn't done yet. Just a single slap had done nothing to satisfy her. It was only the beginning of her retaliation. Or at least she saw her actions as retaliation when in actuality, Tabitha had done nothing wrong to her. Even the spit on her face was by accident. Not that Tabitha also had any plans of apologizing though.And an apology would al
Dressed for an unknown event she had no idea of, Tabitha left her room with the maids sent by her mother. As she started moving, she realized how weak she was; every step felt heavy. Her stomach growled continuously, and a slight dizziness overcame her.Tabitha knew why she felt this way. Setting aside the physical and mental exhaustion she had yet to recover from, the day-long deprivation of food further weakened her. Tabitha knew she needed sustenance for strength, but she was determined not to accept food from her enemies. All she could do was endure and prepare for whatever came next.Tabitha encountered her family in the living room, engaged in discussion. She had no idea about their topics, nor did she care.Standing weakly, struggling to keep her feet steady and avoid falling, Tabitha noticed one of the maids who had escorted her from her room approaching her mother. Though unaware of the maid's intentions, Tabitha was almost certain it concerned her.Informed by the maid t
A car pulled up in front of the hotel owned by Golda Corporation.At the hotel entrance, several men in black suits stood.While Silas had expected such an entrance, his attention was elsewhere.‘This smell…’Silas's nose twitched slightly for a while, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.It had the same fruity quality he remembered, reminiscent of peaches. Silas had only smelled something like this once. And that was when his mate was close. The moment Silas reached the hotel, he could vaguely feel the presence of his mate.Happier than he had been a while ago, Silas stepped out of the car after the door was opened by one of the black-suited men by the hotel entrance.Kelvin, his wolf, rejoiced within him as he stepped out of the car.Finally, after two torturous days of yearning, Silas felt the presence of his mate again. He already knew he hungered to be in the presence of his mate, but it was only after feeling her presence again that he realized just how desperate he had b
Upon hearing Bianca's words, Donald became angry. He hated seeing Bianca uncomfortable. Even during the times he played pretend with Tabitha, it was known to any observant person with way too much time on their hands to study others that he doted on her.To people ignorant of the true situation and knew he was engaged to Bianca's sister, most would believe Donald was just really fond of his future sister-in-law. Tabitha had thought the same, as it seemed like everyone in the family started to have unusually good chemistry with Donald.Perhaps if Tabitha hadn't been so blinded by love for her family and fiancé, she would have noticed some peculiar patterns and might have caught signs of Donald's cheating earlier. But, oh well, one couldn't really blame a woman who had been so wholeheartedly in love; it blinded her to not notice anything wrong."Where is she?" Donald asked with a cold expression on his face, still holding Bianca close to his body. He wanted to address the issue immedia
Silas raced up the stairs the moment the dreadful thought came to him. He wondered what business Tabitha had with the rooftop of a 25-floor hotel.Perhaps Silas's concern for his mate was starting to make him overthink, but with the current gloomy mood he felt from her that seemed to only deepen as the seconds passed, he was scared of what might be going on in Tabitha's mind.The thought that still dominated his mind, in the end, was that she wanted to jump off the hotel. When one thought of Tabitha's situation, it was a possible outcome, but Silas would not let his mate do a such thing if it were to be the case. He couldn't allow the woman he loved to die.Silas couldn't even imagine the image of her lifeless body. He'd go crazy if anything happened to his mate. She was his, and she had no right to harm herself.“I'm sorry for coming late, but I'm here now. I'm here! Please don't let it be what I'm thinking,” Silas said to himself. His heart pounded hard with every step he took up th
Tabitha blinked in surprise, shocked to the point of forgetting to breathe. His words left her doubting if she had heard correctly.Staring at him, she couldn’t help the images of that night resurfacing in her mind—the intimate moment, the sensations coursing through her body, the pleasant words he spoke. It all came flooding back.Beyond the pleasure she experienced, something undeniable, he made her feel alive when everything seemed dead.But what was he saying now? Could he be serious about what he said? That one of the reasons why he was here with her was because he couldn't get enough…No! Tabitha mentally blocked out his deep, melodic voice that continued to echo.Still stunned from the sudden encounter and now this, she continued to stare at him.All her pain was still buried deep in her heart, but she believed that for the second time she had spent with Silas, his presence seemed to be capable of washing it away when they were together.Silas, not receiving any solid reaction
Saddened, Silas stood motionless in the spot Tabitha left him.The words she spoke before leaving felt like sharp blades, each making its way into his soul and stabbing it. He was hurt and angry, not at Tabitha, but at the people who had killed her inside.The outcome of his conversation with Tabitha did not surprise him. He had expected it from the beginning, but expecting it to happen and it happening were two different things.Silas did not agree that the night they shared was a mistake, but could Tabitha be right that it should never have happened?This was why he had been hesitant to have his mate on the very first day. He knew that the outcome of that night might not be favorable to either him or Tabitha. His hesitation stemmed from the awareness that, even though she acted in such a seductive manner that drew him in, the reality was that she had only been that way because she was looking for an escape from her sudden misery. She was vulnerable and drunk.Silas turned his gaze f
I don't know how many times I've told him I love him. He is the most handsome man I've ever seen and I find myself falling in love with him over and over again. I am sitting in bed right now, completely naked, and waiting for my husband to return from his Alpha duties. I am the Luna but he insists on doing everything for me and it makes me love him even more. We have two children, my first child is a beautiful girl and my second child is a handsome smart boy. Five years ago, I was taken away from my husband for six months. His elder brother Micah took me away and poisoned my husband, Silas. I was treated in my brother-in-law's pack and I also found out that he wasn't a rogue, he just started a pack of his own. Micah found out that I was pregnant so he treated me with love and care. He wasn't as bad as I thought he was, he was just hurt by what he thought his family did to him. While I dwelled with my brother-in-law, my husband searched everywhere in the country for me, he wen
Tabitha had told her best friend about her wedding with Silas so when Tabitha returned from Ireland, Sarafina came to visit her with congratulations and gifts. Two weeks later, Tabitha and Silas moved to his family house, where Silas began to prepare himself for his post as an Alpha. Tabitha on the other hand made friends with people around and in two weeks, she began to adapt to the people around her. Before she left Silas's house in the city, her true identity about being the real daughter of Mr Jones and the right heir to her mother's properties was exposed. Silas settled everything and her rights were given back to her. However, Tabitha signed it over to Silas as his property. Mr Jones begged Tabitha to forgive his mistakes so did Bianca but Tabitha did just as her wolf said she should. She advised them to live a good life and move on. She had nothing to do with the Jones anymore because her surname was Graham and she was Silas's family already. Tabitha became the Pack’s do
Silas was sleeping beside Tabitha, resting his head on his elbow that was supported by the bed. He was watching his new wife sleep. She had been sleeping for hours. It was noon already and she wasn't awake yet. Silas wasn't surprised because he already made her a werewolf and he knew that when he checked the wound around her neck to see that it had healed with a mark on it. “When will my little wolf wake up? It's 4, I miss you so much, baby,” Silas touched her hair and stroked it for a while before kissing Tabitha's forehead. It felt as if she was hungry and longing for something but she was happy at the same time. Everything she saw was dark but it felt as if she was in the light. “What is going on?” This was Tabitha's thought. “Our mate is waiting for you to wake up,” Tabitha heard a tiny voice. At this moment, Silas's wolf was jumping and celebrating. It felt as if Silas was going to burst and let his wolf overcome his body but he still felt in control of what was happening.
“Do you like this?” Tabitha asked after seeing how real his expression was. “I love it!” He exclaimed and went closer to kiss her forehead. The next moment, Tabitha was in her wedding gown, standing beside Silas who was already wearing a wedding suit as well. “We look so ready for this,” Silas uttered as they stared at each other in the mirror. “It feels like a dream come true,” Tabitha remarked, enjoying the view of Silas and her ready for marriage. Silas grabbed Tabitha's waist, his facial expression so real. He was happy and couldn't even express it all. ***The door to the hall went open that morning and the bride walked in with her flowers. Tabitha was the bride, she never imagined that her real marriage would happen without the family she called her family all her life. She saw Silas waiting by the altar for her. Why was she so happy about this moment? Everything happened so fast but she was happy about it because, for some strange reason, she felt like marrying Silas w
‘But we've only known each other for a very short time,’ Tabitha's mind was now in chaos. So many thoughts were entering her head as she stared down at Silas who was looking up at her with hope. ‘But I always feel safe with him.’ ‘But that's not what marriage is all about.’‘He loves me and I want him so why should we waste time? We are getting old day by day.’ ‘Marriage isn't a play.’ ‘It isn't but I want him.’‘He’s so handsome. I cannot imagine my life without him.’ ‘I want him.’ ‘I want him.’ ‘I want him.’ Tabitha kept on saying this until she extended her hand to him. “I want to be with you,” she grinned. “I will marry you and spend the rest of my life with you,” she agreed with a nod. Silas felt this feeling rush through his body as if a demon that possessed him was leaving his body. He put the ring around her finger and stood up only to carry Tabitha around her waist and lift her to be above him as though she had no weight. He stared at her for a while and just simply
Duke saw where she was eating after he entered her house. He couldn't deny how comfortable her house looked when he glanced at it first. “I heard you also just moved in not quite long,” Duke turned around to face Sarafina. “Yes, Andrew helped me,” she answered but unknowingly, she twisted something in Duke's heart. His face suddenly turned cold and then he looked away. “Also?” Sarafina processed what Duke said and realized that he used the word.“Yes, I moved into that apartment, I want to explore. I do that most of the time,” he answered. “You mean you aren't with a woman?” Sarafina had let out her thoughts before she realized it. At this point, she wished the floor would swallow her. She bit her lower lip and faced the floor, scolding herself loudly inside her head. Duke walked close to her and touched her chin, lifting her face to face his. Sarafina was stuck but she couldn't do anything so she just gave in to whatever he wanted to say or do. She saw him smirking and studyi
It was already a few minutes past nine when Sarafina drove her car into the parking lot. She massaged her forehead after removing the key from her car and let out a sigh. “I was so happy about working but…” she sighed again. “What was I expecting? To sit in an office and do nothing? It's so exhausting,” she let out a sigh again and brought out the food she took with her after having dinner with Andrew at some fancy restaurant. She was going to heat the meal and eat it tonight before taking some painkillers and she planned to sleep afterward. Sarafina used the elevator to locate her apartment. Her eyes were looking tired and sleepy but she waved it off and tried to stay focused. With time, she reached the entrance to her apartment and realized that the apartment she saw in the morning making some arrangements was done and everything seemed clear except for the fact that there was a delivery in front of the apartment owner's door. Sarafina, at first just wanted to enter her room an
Andrew spent ten minutes removing the negative thoughts he had in his head about Tabitha getting missing and receiving his boss's anger. He was happy that nothing bad happened to Tabitha. He was, however, interested in who took Tabitha home, which was something he'd still look into after he dropped Sarafina home.Andrew drove his car to Sarafina's house and carried her gently to her room. He had decorated the house with her after she moved into the house. He helped her sleep comfortably in the bed and tucked her in the bedsheet. Afterward, he sat in the bed next to her and began to stare at her. “Why does it feel like I need you?” He asked aloud. “I find myself thinking about you all the time and sometimes I just smile like a fool when I remember how beautiful you are when you smile?” “It also hurts deep down when I look at you and see how you truly feel about me through your eyes.” “It's not your fault, we don't control our hearts and I don't hate myself for falling in love wit
Silas was in the living room trying his best to focus on his work but he was busy staring at Tabitha's photos. He went through her post and saw the videos she took of herself celebrating with her best friend. He was happy to see her happy. It felt as if it was the end because everything appeared right. He was relieved. Staring at her photo made him feel this sensation he couldn't understand and he kept looking at her, studying her face, eyes, and her lips. While he was busy staring at her, he heard the doorbell. Silas was surprised because Tabitha didn't inform him about coming back but now his doorbell was ringing. She didn't have to ring the bell; she literally had access to the house. The house was hers as well. However, Silas stood up and went to open the door. Perhaps the person wasn't his Tabitha. After opening the door, he found himself feeling very dissatisfied and angry. “Hi!” He heard from the man who had his arms around Tabitha's body as if she was his own. Silas
