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
Alpha Theron’s POVAstrid turned heavy as a log as her consciousness fully slipped away. Her face looked peaceful, her eyes were closed, and her arms were hanging to her sides as I held her up. I carefully eased Astrid back to her bed, my heart pounding in my chest. I couldn’t erase the memory of how scary she looked out of my mind. No matter how much I stared at her now innocent and relaxed face, I couldn’t forget the savage look that she had earlier. The way she gazed at me, she badly wanted to kill me just to shed blood. Doctor Smith would be here any moment. I hope he will have an explanation for this, and most importantly, I hope there will be a cure for Astrid’s condition. Doctor Smith just arrived on time, right after I tucked Astrid back into her bed. He is on full alert, ready to do his job. My son, Andros, followed soon after watching as Doctor Smith ran his tests on my daughter. “Andros, it’s best for you to wait outside,” I called his attention, making his con
Alpha Theron’s POV“You!—” I held out a finger and angrily pointed at him when I heard his words. No words left my mouth as it bobbed up and down like a fish. I was unable to oppose a word that he said because this wasn’t really his fault.“Astrid had always been strange when she arrived,” Doctor Smith spoke up for me. “We used the Lunar Elixir to save her, but it had no effect on recovering her wolf. When we used your blood to save her, although it didn’t match, it still mysteriously worked and saved her,” Doctor Smith paused; his words made me silent.“Who could ever explain Astrid’s condition? Even the most advanced Pack and the most knowledgeable Doctor in the world will never be able to find out what’s wrong with her. This is something that has never happened before,” Doctor Smith added with all honesty. I shifted my gaze on Astrid. I swallowed hard at the complexity of her condition. I don’t even know what kind of danger she’s in, which only adds to my fears.“I’m sorry, Alpha,
Drystan’s POVAs I finally stepped onto the familiar grounds of the Shadowfang Pack, a deep, bone-weary exhaustion settled over me. The long journey from the Nightsong Pack to here had taken its toll, both physically and mentally, but even as my body cried out for rest, my mind was consumed by a far greater concern — the wellbeing of Astrid. Two days ago, I received the news from the Shadowfang Pack that Astrid’s life was in danger. The moment I heard what happened, I instantly rushed out of the Pack, determined to be there beside Astrid as soon as I could. However, Beta Caden, our Pack’s Beta, stopped me before I could even take a step out of the Packhouse. He held me back and punched out my senses through his words. He made me realize that I have my own responsibilities as an Alpha, and I can’t forget all about them just for Astrid. I had no choice but to stay for two more days. My duties and responsibilities as an Alpha held me back, but there wasn’t a minute that I never thou
Drsystan’s POVAsha’s eyes turned wide when she saw my face. She was clearly surprised to see me, not expecting that I would suddenly turn up behind her back. “What took you so long to get here?” Asha asked as soon as she recognized my face. “I thought you wouldn’t be coming. I thought you didn’t care about Astrid as much as you did before now that she had finally served her purpose,” she commented disdainfully, trying to get on my nerves. Nova has been regularly updating me with their life in the Shadowfang Pack. Even though I was away, I still knew what was happening to them. Nova had once informed me that Asha had provoked Astrid into a fight before. Asha thinks that our purpose of coming here was to gain connections with her father and use their Pack to stabilize our failing Pack. Since the words she threw at me weren’t new anymore, I let it slide out of my mind. “What?” Asha snapped at her brother angrily when he suddenly discreetly held her back by the arm. “Is there anyth
