Giselle is Unbelievable!!!
Killian’s POVThe night air was cold and still, as I paced anxiously outside Giselle’s room. For months, she had been confined within those walls, never allowed to set foot outside until the time of her labour arrived. I could hear the commotion inside — the agonizing cries of Giselle as she fought to bring her child into the world filled the whole Packhouse. With every push she makes, she gives a painful cry. The Doctor had warned me beforehand that I should move Giselle to the hospital so she could have proper labour. However, I objected and told them to do the labour in her room instead. This made it difficult for all of them. I watched as the omegas rushed in and out of the room, carrying towels, basins of water, and all the manner of supplies the doctor would need. If we were at the hospital, everything would have been prepared for the labour. I took my words seriously when I said she would be confined in this room until she gave birth. My heart raced with each laboured br
Killian’s POVI stayed awake the whole night. I couldn’t sleep as the DNA results bothered my mind. Sleep had eluded me the entire night as my mind raced with worry and uncertainty, thinking about whether Giselle’s newborn child was truly mine or not. I sat in the hospital lobby, my head cradled in my weary hands. Until now, I didn’t know how to react once I found out the truth. I have no idea what will happen once the truth finally comes out. I’m not even sure which is better to find out if Giselle’s child is in mind or not. Whatever the result is, I’m still doomed. If Giselle’s child were mine, then things would go as they should. If not, then Giselle has to suffer the punishment of deceiving me. However, it still won’t undo all the mistakes that I’ve made in the past. It won’t undo things I have done. In the end, I will still have to live with regrets. After what felt like an eternity, I lifted my head when I heard footsteps approaching. My Adam’s apple bobbed up and
Killian’s POVI stood before Giselle’s bedroom door with guilt and remorse etched across my face. The DNA results had really hit me hard. I can’t continue my day without talking this through with Giselle. Even though I did not know where to start with all the bad things I had done, I rushed to Giselle’s room, determined to make amends with her. I couldn’t rest until I apologized for everything I had done to Giselle and sought her forgiveness. After collecting myself together, I’ve finally made up my mind. I brought our son with me to give him back to his mother.The door swung open, pulling me from my thoughts. I steeled myself, ready to face this head-on, only for the door to reveal Giselle’s attendant, who looked at me in surprise.Clearly, she wasn’t expecting to see me at the other side of the door. “I heard that Giselle has woken up,” I began, my voice laced with apprehension. “Tell her that I came to visit. I wish to talk to her, but it’s okay if she doesn’t want to talk to
Killian’s POVI couldn’t bring myself to look Giselle in the eye after confessing everything and apologizing for how I had treated her. Silence fell between us as soon as I finished my words. My heart constricted, and I felt suffocated by the thick tension in the air. I waited with bated breath for her response until, out of the corner of my eye, she suddenly moved. My eyes turned back to Giselle, wondering what she was about to do. I watched as Giselle slowly turned to her attendant standing behind her in wait. Carefully, she handed our son over to the attendant’s arms. Then, they all left, giving us privacy and taking the baby with them. My gaze connected with Giselle’s. Now that we were finally alone, I felt more dumbfounded, not knowing what to expect. Before going inside the room, I had braced myself, anticipating that she wouldn’t easily forgive me. I even imagined she would refuse to talk to me, more so, be left inside the room with me. But Giselle did none of those thin
Giselle’s POVAn evil smile played on my lips as I gloated at my victory. Killian’s words are exactly what I wanted to hear. Right now, he has completely lost his trust in Astrid. There’s no way he could ever doubt me again in the future. All I had to do was to bring up our child, and he would be reminded of this day of how he had doubted me and harmed his child. I suppressed an evil laugh that threatened to escape my lips. I finally have Killian wrapped around my fingers again. He has completely been bought by me. I have expected this to happen. I know that making him believe that the child is ours would make him realize that he had made mistakes. It will also make him lose any little bit of trust or even love that he has for Astrid. Now that we are bound by a child, I could finally be the Luna of the Silvermoon Pack, the position that I had worked hard to have. All I needed was a little nudge, and with the support of Killian’s mother, there was no way Killian could ever d
Damien’s POVA smile stretched my lips as I peered at my precious, beautiful daughter, who was silently asleep in my arms. I stared at her long lashes and her cute button nose. I know she will grow up to be a beautiful lady someday. She just came out into this world, but I couldn’t already deny her beauty. I can’t believe that Giselle would be so willing to murder such a pretty baby with an innocent and angelic face. I felt bad for my daughter that she had a cruel and cold-hearted mother. I’m so glad to finally hold her in my arms, away from her mother, who has been thinking of getting rid of her. I was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to make it. My daughter hasn’t been born yet, but Giselle has already been threatening me to kill her while she was still in her womb. To save my daughter, I willingly colluded with her and fulfilled all her conditions so I could take my daughter with me. It was I who provided for the son that she wanted, which would match Killian’s DNA. “Al
Damien’s POVI quickly pulled Vanessa inside the room out of anyone’s earshot before things could escalate between us. Knowing Vanessa, she might act hysterically once she finds out the truth. Her temper has always been quick to flare. Her constant outbursts were oftentimes rooted in her jealousy. I couldn’t imagine what her reaction would be if she found out that the child I had brought me wasn’t just any random child but a baby that I had from a different woman. Saying that she would be furious is even an understatement. It’s been years since Vanessa and I had married, but she had never been pregnant. It would be an insult for her to find out that her husband had his eldest child with a different woman while we have been married. Vanessa fell quiet when her gaze fell on the little innocent child sleeping inside a special crib in the middle of the room. She slowly took careful steps towards the sleeping infant, her eyes never leaving my daughter’s face. She had forgotten about
Alpha Theron’s POVI peered down at my precious daughter, who was sleeping peacefully on her bed. She doesn’t look as pale as she had before. Color had finally formed on her lips, and her cheeks were painted. Seeing her healthy, rosy complexion, I smiled and felt more relieved. Asha had told me that Astrid was getting better and better each day. Astrid is a fighter who refuses to succumb to her defeat; soon enough, she’s going to wake up soon, and I want to be the first thing she sees when she wakes up. Until now, I still have no idea how I will explain that she lost her wolf when she woke up. As a werewolf, losing your wolf does not mean becoming an average human. Our wolves and humans are one. When you lose your other half, it would literally feel like losing something that has been a considerable part of your life. It’s like half of your soul torn away from you, lost forever. A half of your life gone missing. Astrid had already gone through a lot of things. She lost her mate
Asha’s POVThe soft crunch of leaves beneath my boots was the only sound as I walked through the forest path.My mother’s grave is far from the Packhouse. She is buried in a secluded area, giving her peace. The cool air carried a solemn stillness that matched my mood. Visiting her grave was my sanctuary, a place where I could let my guard down and remember the woman who raised me.That’s when I saw him — Andros, my older brother, standing at the edge of the woods. The shadows from the trees seemed to engulf him, and his posture was rigid, alert. Was he here to visit Mother too? I wondered. My heart swelled at the thought. It wasn’t often that Andros and I shared these quiet moments. As the crowned Alpha he has too many responsibilities placed on his shoulder. He was always busy. I opened my mouth to call out to him but stopped short when another figure emerged from the shadows. My brows furrowed. The man wore a black hoodie that concealed most of his face, and his movements wer
Asha’s POVI staggered back, shaking my head in disbelief. “That’s not true. That can’t be true,” I mumbled as if I was just trying to convince myself.“I was left with no choice, Asha. Your mother—Luna Jamaica—was my brother’s mate. He was the rightful Alpha. But when he died, the Pack needed a leader. And I… I was the only option. I was forced to marry her to maintain stability. To keep this Pack from falling apart.”My father’s eyes turned red as he tried his best to hold back his tears. My heart wrenched as I feel for his pain. This is the first time I ever saw my father look so vulnerable. “I gave up everything. My mate. My happiness. My future. I gave it all away for this Pack, for a life I never wanted. And every day since, I have lived with that choice. With the weight of betraying my mate, of turning my back on the only woman I ever loved.”I stared at him, my body trembling as the truth settled over me like a suffocating blanket. Everything I had believed, everything I
Asha’s POVI squared my shoulders as I faced my father, my eyes narrowing at him in anger. I crossed my arms tightly over my chest, the weight of years of frustration and jealousy boiling to the surface. My father simply stood before me, his usual composed demeanor tinged with a rare expression of exasperation, but I didn’t care. Not anymore“She doesn’t even call you Father!” I spat, my voice trembling with anger. “Not once in her life has Astrid ever acknowledged you as her father. And yet, you treat her like she’s some prized treasure. Why, Father? Because you feel guilty for neglecting her? She’s just your illegitimate child! It’s best that she realize she’s not special!” I blurted out angrily.Alpha Theron’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t speak. That silence — his silence — was what always drove me mad. He would never defend himself, never justify his actions, as if I were the one being unreasonable. But I wasn’t.“She’s ungrateful!” I continued, pacing back and forth as my em
Astrid’s POVThe silence after the call ended was heavier than the words I hadn’t spoken.I remained frozen, clutching the phone as though its weight could tether me to the choices I had made. Each unspoken truth tightened like a vice around my chest, each lie stealing the air I so desperately needed.I wanted nothing more than to turn back, to run to Ryker and finally tell him who I really was. But how could I? How could I be so selfish, so reckless? I knew the truth about my condition — how dangerous and uncertain everything is. How could I let him get close to me, knowing how it will all end?The thought of Ryker loving me, only to lose me, was unbearable. I couldn’t let him go through that pain, the kind of pain that had already hollowed me out. I knew it too well — the ache of losing someone you’d give anything to keep. The searing, unrelenting agony of losing my husband, the devastation of outliving my child. I wouldn’t wish that torment on anyone, least of all Ryker.A shiv
Killian’s POVIt had been days since Ryker had last seen Giselle, and Ryker still hadn’t asked a single question about her mother. At first, I was afraid of what he’d say, dreading the moment he’d look me in the eye and ask, Where’s my mother? I couldn’t bring myself to tell him the truth, knowing how much it would break him. How could I possibly explain to him that Giselle is not her mother, and that she’s dead. In his whole life, Ryker believed that Giselle was his mother — she’d raised him, after all, and he’d known her as nothing else.I know it would be difficult for him to accept and process the whole truth, and I was trying my best to avoid the confrontation from him. But now… I’m no longer just worried about Ryker’s difficult questions now I wasn’t just avoiding the question. I am now worried wondering why he still haven’t asked me any question. In the days that had passed, he hadn’t asked even once. Not a word about Giselle. No concern, no curiosity. Just silence. And
Alpha Theron’s POVAndros scoffed, his disbelief clear as he tilted his head back. “You are choosing Astrid over me?” he spat out. “You’re going to make her the crowned Luna of this Pack? It’s only been three years since you met her, and you think she’s worthy of this title? What do you think Asha would say? Astrid isn’t even your legitimate child!”I met his gaze, my own expression resolute. “Astrid has proven herself capable. She’s been our acting Beta for three years and led as the Luna of the Silvermoon Pack for five years before that. She has the qualities, the skills, and the strength needed to lead. In terms of ability, Andros, she does her job far better than you.”Andros’s fists clenched, his expression darkening with insult and rage. “This is madness! The Pack won’t accept it! My mother is your true mate and the Luna of this Pack. Giving your position to someone who isn’t her child is an insult to her legacy and to this Pack!”I took a step forward, my voice unwavering.
Alpha Theron’s POVA long silence settled over the room after I asked the question, heavy and tense. I kept my gaze fixed on Andros, waiting, hoping for a sign of remorse or an explanation. But what I saw instead shook me to my core. Andros looked back at me, and in that gaze, I saw a stranger. The gentle son I thought I knew was gone, and in his place stood a man cold and unyielding.Then he spoke, his voice sharper and louder than I had ever heard it, filled with a defiance that sent a chill through me. “You want to know why I did it?” he snapped, his tone a mix of anger and something darker. “I did it for us, for this pack. I was doing you a favor by doing what you could never bring yourself to do.”His words stunned me. Andros had never raised his voice to me, not once in all the years I’d known him. Even when I was harsh or demanding — as I always was, he had always accepted it in silence, never challenging me. But now, he stood before me, speaking without restraint, and I
Alpha Theron’s POVAndros entered, his eyes darting between me and the book lying on the desk. He tried to mask his apprehension, but I caught the flicker of recognition in his gaze. I wasted no time.“Did Beta Alek give you this book?” I asked, my voice steady but taut.He blinked, feigning innocence. “I’ve seen the book before, yes. Beta Alek showed it to me and explained what it was.” His eyes held mine, the picture of calm. “Is there something wrong?”Besidehim, Beta Alek looked stricken but hopeful. He took a step forward, his voice shaking with urgency. “Andros, explain everything to your father and tell him that I’m being wronged. I gave you the book didn’t I? I even told you to burn the book for me,” Beta Alek spoke up, trusting that my son would prove his innocence. Andros raised his brows, feigning confusion. “What do you mean?” he asked, his tone soft and innocent.“That didn’t happen. You never gave me the book — I’ve never even touched it.”Beta Alek’s face went pale
Alpha Theron’s POVThe moment Astrid left my office, I reached through the Pack Link, calling for Beta Alek.My voice came out raw and unfiltered, the unmistaken anger pulsed through the link sending their wolves into submission. I could sense Beta Alek’s panic, could feel his wolf bristle at the force of my command. He knew I wasn’t pleased.Moments later, the door opened, and Alek entered, his face pale, but his steps were urgent.I didn’t give him a chance to speak before hurling the book at him. It hit him squarely in the face, making him stagger. As he caught the book, his face drained of color even further when recognition flared in his eyes.“Didn’t I tell you to burn that book?” My voice was low, lethal, and I didn’t miss the way he trembled at each word.Alek fell to his knees, the weight of his guilt bearing down on him. “Alpha,” he choked out, “I admit my irresponsibility. I failed you. I’m willing to accept any punishment for my insubordination,” he answered readily, pr
