"Are you certain this isn't a bit too much?" I'm worried about my kids these days."This much is just minimum requirements, believe me, I was doing worse at their age," Dexter tells me, however I'm finding it pretty difficult to agree with him.For a straight week it's been nothing but cruel training right after school and they're worn out by it.I glance over at the sleeping kids who've even started snoring a bit and turn to Dexter, this isn't how I wish they'd grow up, but I have to admit that this is necessary, however… they look tired."Don't worry too much," Dexter says, his arms wrapping around me as he squeezes in, "they have the blood of a fearless leader in them, believe me, there's no one who'd be strong enough to out best them."… I sure hope so.Rocking in his arms I sigh shortly as I give in to this unfamiliar training."Just, let them catch a break when they need to okay," I beg him."You have my word," he says.I feel relieved after hearing his words but still can't hel
"This… is Dexter?" Unbelievable!!!I'm shocked beyond words at the image before me. The grumpy *ss man I know who finds it difficult to smile and lacks the right words to compliment someone is a sweet and cheerful kid.The image of a twelve-year-old Dexter posing with his favorite toy, beaming brightly with a smile so wide and cheerful that it feels so contagious.Such a bright child, I'm bothered to ask what happened but I can't bring myself to ruin such a beautiful mood."Look at how cute he is, you have no idea what it took me to get him to wear this, he was going on and on about how it wouldn't suit him, but look at him now," she chuckles.Despite her laughter, she would repeatedly clean her tears while I stared.I wonder, is this how it's going to be for me too?One day I'll have to see my boys all grown up and ready to make decisions by themselves.Ash, Neo, I wonder how handsome they'll be, but I guess it'll probably be much more difficult letting them go.She turns the page an
Jasmine's POV"What do you mean Dexter's not home, it's almost 1 am," I yell at my husband."Why are you asking me that? Isn't taking care of our cub your responsibility?" He yells back at me.I bite my lower lip in frustration and crash onto the sofa. My eyes are red from crying out of worry, I'm both mentally and physically drained and this man isn't helping me.Bam!"Thank goodness," he says as one of our best trackers walks into the guest room right after shutting the door. "So where is he, James?"Walking in with a wet raincoat and boots, James stares at us, his eyes slowly lowering with his head as he stammers, "I… I… I couldn't find him," he says.At that very moment, I feel my heart sink as I throw myself into more despair, "what could have happened to my little boy," I cry."How could you not find a thing, you're our very best, and now you're saying you can't sniff down your future Alpha!!!"The mansion quakes from his anger but I know better that he can't do a thing."It's r
Vida's POV"Shall we," Jasmine says with a forced smile, she picks up the luncheon and heads towards the door.My mouth is wide open as I'm unable to process everything at the same time."How were you able to cope?" That is what I want to ask, but I rather not open any wounds, I think I've heard enough for one day.I watch as she smiles at everyone who greets her, wondering how she has such courage and strength in her despite all this. If something like this happens to either of my cubs, I'm not sure what I'll do.I can't even fathom, the shock she must have gotten seeing Dexter looking like a stranger, the tears she must have shed secretly while stretching out her arms towards him in welcome.Jasmine stops, turns around, and yells, "Aren't you coming dear!""In a minute, I'll just go change," I tell her.Working to beat the clock, I race towards the door to meet with her. The car arrives shortly and we both get in."Where to ma'am?" The driver asks."The training ground please."The
Thud!"Ugh! My head, what happened?" Just now, I thought I was going to die, but I didn't, how?My landing!At once I begin to feel the ground, it feels firm but not as solid as it should feel, it's not filled with gr*ss, and what's with this heavy heartbeat?It's calm and soothing, is this my heartbeat? How could I feel relaxed in this situation?As if answering me, I hear yet another heartbeat, almost as if it were matching with the first."It's good that you're safe," I hear his voice, his familiar arms as they tighten around me, I know this feeling too well.Gasp!I raise my head and find myself face to face with Dexter who's groaning from pain."Dexter! Are you okay?""Yes, I'm fine," he says gently getting up and helping me up."What just happened?""It's nothing you just slipped from a rock," he says with a sigh, but, I'm not so sure that's how things went. It almost felt as if I was pushed."I see, thank you for saving me.""It's nothing," he says.His eyes scan around me and
“This is Mr. Peterson, you don’t need to speak to him,” Dexter says as he places a photo of Peterson on the table.I’m a bit taken aback but nod my head in understanding, although a bit difficult I’ve been able to remember a few names since the last thing I want is to make Dexter a laughingstock.It’s been three days since Dexter’s abrupt confession, just remembering everything from that day feels my stomach with butterflies as I blush.A sudden invitation made its way to us yesterday, a rather abrupt invitation that made Dexter’s face rumble as he read the letter, all alphas were to attend a “connect,” in respect to getting to know the new and young Alphas who just got inaugurated.Dexter defined the situation as a chore, but I see it as a perfect opportunity to get acquainted with the new Alphas. I consider the possibility of befriending a few but the reality of their opinion about me baffles me greatly.Maybe, just maybe, things may be different this time, I sure hope it does.Flic
“Mama!” I hear Neo call from outside.As I fight my way out of Dexter’s arms who has no intention of letting go, I plead with him, “I need to see what the problem is,” I whisper to him.He raises a brow almost as if asking if he cares, I sigh, “We can continue this later, so let go,” I whisper twisting hard on his firm brick n*pple.Satisfied he releases me from his arms but not before whispering, “I’ll be waiting.”I can hear my heart explode as my cheeks flood, I stomp my way to the door to find Neo just about to knock once again.“Hey Neo, how are you, sweetie?”“I’m alright,” he says.His head slightly tilted as he peeps inside, his gaze scanning the entire office, I turn around, Dexter’s as confused as I am as he waves at Neo who refuses to respond.This is unlike Neo which leaves me with worry, Dexter drawing close as he questions, “Got any problems kiddo?”“It’s Ash,” he answers with a long face.We stare at each other and then at Neo, curious and yet anxious, I draw close and
Linda's POV"A human Luna?! Ha! Don't make me laugh," the wolf sitting by my side, Mable says.I roll my eyes, doing my best to feign ignorance of their words, but I cannot argue how irritated I am from hearing it.The others laugh, and I join in to play along.Thanks to that wretched woman and her cubs I haven't been invited to any social gatherings amongst the pack, but that didn't mean I couldn't host one of my own, especially if there are people who feel the way I do, people who also hate the thought of a human Luna being above us.With a simple invitation to my tea party, flocks of women come rushing down here, hoping to get juicy gossip, it's my way of keeping up with the trends as well."Oh darling please, our mates seem to think differently, she is beautiful yes, but I think that's just it, a human could never compare to a wolf and besides, she has zero experience being in charge of a pack so I wonder what Alpha Dexter is thinking to have her by his side," Tisha says.I grip t
