DARLENE'S POVA month had passed since we moved back home, and life haven't felt as peaceful.l as it feels now. I now enjoyed my daily routine—mornings filled with laughter, long days at work, and cozy evenings with my family. It was everything I had fought for, and I was thankful for it all.As I walked through the front door, tired from a long day, I felt the stress begin to melt away because I could hear the sounds of my kids laughing in the living room, which made me smile.“Mummy!” Aurora shouted, her little feet rushing toward me. I dropped my bag and knelt down, arms wide open to receive her.“Hey, my little sunshine!” I hugged her tightly. Drake and Blake soon joined us, their faces lit with excitement.“Did you bring us anything?” Blake asked, his big eyes sparkling.“Just this,” I said, ruffling his hair which made him giggle. Just then, Cullian appeared from the kitchen, a towel over his shoulder and a grin on his face.“Welcome home!” he said, his voice warm and invitin
DARLENE'S POV. The weight of Conri’s voice lingered in my mind as I stood frozen by the phone. Panic surged within me, but I couldn’t let fear take hold of me—not here, not now. I and Cullian had fought too hard for this peace. “Mommy?” Aurora’s voice broke through my thoughts. I turned to see her standing in the doorway, concern etched on her face. I couldn’t let her see my fear. “Just a minute, sweetie!” I called out, forcing a smile. I needed to focus on what mattered, my husband—my children, my family. Cullian walked out of the kitchen agaim, his brow furrowed with worry. “Darlene, what’s wrong?” “It was nothing, just a client,” I lied, pushing down the knot in my stomach. I didn’t want to ruin the evening with my fears. “Alright,” He nodded, but I could still see the concern in his eyes. As i made my way upstairs, my children ran around me, I tried to join in, but my thoughts kept drifting back to Conri. How could he still be alive? ——— We had dinner together, a
Although I was just a bullied, degraded and weak omega, the weakest in the entire pack, I had a mate that was an alpha.I often heard people telling me how lucky I was, for an Omega to have a mate at all was almost impossible and for an Omega who was as useless as me to have an alpha as a mate was just a direct blessing from the moon goddess.My father was a very strong and well respected man, I was a very big shame to him and his entire pack, all because I was born am omega, but things changed three years ago when Alpha Conri, the strongest alpha from the Crescent moon pack was revealed as my fated mate.He was everything I prayed to the moon goddess for, he was wealthy, strong, goodlooking and respected. Three years had passed and I was still the happiest wolf In the pack, not until Juliette arrived at our pack house a week ago. My life became a living hell in the blink of an eye. The moment Alpha Conri set his eyes on her, I became forgotten history.I thought it was a joke when
“No." I muttered in disbelief.The crowd cheered and clapped, I felt my stomach churning and it was too sudden and quick, I threw up.“Eww." Someone beside me said.I stood up and started running away in shame.The night was cold and I didn't have any soul left in me, it can't be possible, they couldn't get engaged after one week of meeting, I went back to my parents house. One step inside and my sister Tiffany started laughing.“She's back." My sister announced.They must have heard what happened from my aunt.“What a disgrace." My father said to me, I really thought that I could prove to him that I was capable of making him proud, but now shame befell upon me, as I was discarded by Conri. I climbed the staircase to my bedroom, when I shut the door, I sat and rested my back against it and cried.I found the strength to take a shower and I slept.***I woke up with a headache and nausea, I could not lift any of my limbs. I thought that maybe I had hurt myself from all the hard labou
I heard my stomach grumbling, then the churning, twisting sensation returned.It had been going on for the last two hours, I had forgotten to bring my credit card with me, not that anyone even gave me the chance to bring it, they had packed my bag for me and left me without a single penny. I did not care much about myself, it was the pup I was worried about. I exited the car and stared straight at the restaurant, I didn't have any money in my pocket.I walked into the restaurant, it looked fancier than other restaurants I had seen on the way, I stopped in front of the counter.“Can I get your order?." The lady asked me.I cleared my throat, shame washed through me for what I was about to do.“Hi, good day... I don't have any money with me but I'm very hungry... Please believe me, I'm not looking for free handouts, I can work for my food... I can do the dishes, serve some customers for a while, anything." I said trying my best to hold the tears at the corner of my eyes from falling.T
I cried out in pain. The plastic bag I was carrying had torn and the plate had cracked, the contents were spilled on the ground. My hope for breakfast was gone. I was angry and hurt, I wanted to teach this man a lesson. The man stood above me, smiling.“How rude to run away from a gentleman." He said, his voice was filled with sarcasms.It was times like this I wished I was a Luna. I growled at the man.He threw his head back in laughter.I tried standing up but he brought his foot to my face and pressed it against my cheek, the under of his shoes smelt like dirt, I tried my best to push his leg out of my face but in return he pressed it harder.I yelled and he kicked my face.“If I hear even a whimper from you... I'm gonna break you into two." He warned.I was quiet, his threats didn't seem like bluff to me, he lifted me from the ground and pulled me towards the alley.I fought him, kicked his leg and lunged towards him, he pushed me away from him, raised his hand in the air and th
Cullian's POVI feel someone's stare at me, when I turn to the door, the girl from yesterday is standing there, immediately she sees me, she scurries away from the door.I walk to where she's standing, her back is pressed to the wall as if she's the paint, her eyes are casted downwards. I tower over her, I like the way my shirt eat her up, I like the fact that I'm much more bigger than her, she's small in size compared to me.“How do you feel?." I asked her and her shoulders trembled at the sound of my voice, she looked up at me and I'm captivated by the ocean blue of her eyes.She looked down to her feet quickly, her fingers grabbing the edge of the shirt I had changed her into earlier, she looked sexy in my clothe, too sexy, I wanted to touch her.I cleared my throat and fisted my hands into my pockets at both sides of my trouser. “I'm fine... Thank you for saving me." She said, her voice was soft and sweet.She looked up at me again, gratitude in her eyes but it is quickly replace
“Wait what?!“ I asked him in shock, my mouth flew open. Was that even possible?. “What's wrong?“ he moved a step backwards, his calm face suddenly replaced with a frown. Of course everything was wrong, I was a rouge and soon to be a mother. All I wanted was to find a way to take care of I and my pup alone, not this!“Mr Cullian, I don't think that what you are asking would be possible, all I want right now is to leave, and i do appreciate your help last night,” I said facing downwards, I couldn't meet his eyes, those glowing amber eyes could make me change my mind.“Well, I'll give you some time to think about it then.” He said, I looked up at him in astonishment. Didn't he hear what I just said? He gave me a warm smile, before walking out.I became dumbfounded. My Alpha mate had just dumped me for a Luna who was more stronger, prettier, I mean everything than me, how then would a powerful,wealthy and charming Lycan king like Cullian ask me to marry him in just a few hours of meeting

CULLIAN'S POV.The room felt like a battleground, the air filled with the scent of sweat and blood. Every breath I took tasted metallic. Conri loomed before me. His eyes burned with a relentless rage.As we clashed again, pain shot through my body. Conri’s claws raked across my side, tearing through flesh and fur. I winced, feeling the warm trickle of blood pooling beneath my pelt. Each strike from him felt like a hammer against my bones, and I struggled to keep my footing. 'I can’t let him win. I can’t let him take them from me.'“Is this all you’ve got?” Conri mocked, his breath hot and foul. “You’re just prolonging the inevitable.” The taunt stung more than the wounds he inflicted.I lunged at him, desperation fueling my movements. I managed to catch his flank with my teeth, but he retaliated with a brutal snap of his jaws. His teeth sank into my shoulder, and I let out a growl of pain, the sharpness of his bite sending shockwaves through my body. 'How much longer can I endure this
Darlene's POVDarlene couldn't stop walking around room in Hawaii, her heart racing. They had flown here seeking safety and peace, but now a heavy weight of dread settled in her chest. Cullian had promised to protect them, and yet he hadn’t answered her calls. “Mummy, is Daddy coming back soon?” Blake’s small voice broke through her thoughts.Darlene knelt beside her son, forcing a smile. “Yes, sweetie. Daddy will be back soon. He just has some important things to take care of.” But inside, her anxiety grew. She had tried calling Cullian several times, each unanswered ring echoing in her mind.The air felt charged, as if a storm was brewing. Darlene’s instincts screamed that something was wrong. She could feel it deep in her bones. The thought of Cullian facing danger alone made her stomach twist. “Why won’t he answer?” she murmured, glancing at Blake, who seemed to sense her worry. “Is he okay?” Blake asked, his eyes wide with concern.“I hope so, honey. I really hope so.” Darlene
Cullian paced, his heart racing. He could sense something was off; the air was thick with tension. Suddenly, a loud crash broke in. Cullian rushed to the window, his instincts screaming at him. He saw figures moving in the darkness—his guards. They were fighting, but one by one, they fell, taken down swiftly by an unseen force. "Conri…" Cullian muttered under his breath. He knew him too well, and he knew this was no ordinary attack. Just as Cullian turned to grab his jacket, a loud bang echoed through the front door. It burst open, and there stood Conri, his presence dominating the room. He was alone, but his aura was enough to fill the space with dread. Cullian’s jaw clenched. “You shouldn’t have come here, Conri.”“I had to see you one last time before I end this,” Conri replied, a smirk on his lips. The two men faced each other, tension crackling in the air. Cullian stepped forward, fists clenched. “You think you can just walk in here and threaten my family?”Conri chuckled da
As I neared the exit, I knew I would do whatever it took to find her. Nothing would stand in my way.DARLENE'S POV.“Mummy! Daddy!” Drake and Blake shouted in unison as they raced toward us. My heart melted as they enveloped Cullian and me in a tight embrace, their warmth a stark contrast to the chilling events that had just unfolded.We had literally escaped death. It was heartbreaking to realize that, for a moment, I had feared we might never see our children again. The thought lingered painfully in my mind, a reminder of how fragile our lives could be.Cullian knelt down, gently ruffling Blake's and Drake's hair with a tender smile. “I missed you so much, buddy,” he said, his voice filled with relief.“But Dad, why did you leave us all day? We woke up and couldn’t find you. Where did you three go?” Drake asked, his brows furrowed in confusion and concern.“We were kidnapped,” Aurora mumbled softly, her voice trembling. “But Dad came to save us,” she added, her eyes shining with adm
Cullian’s POVThe footsteps grew louder, each step a reminder of the danger we were in. I felt the weight of responsibility pressing down on me—not just for Darlene and Aurora, but for my two sons back home, who must be worrying about us. Hours had passed since we left, and the thought of them waiting, anxious and alone, fueled my resolve.“Darlene, stay quiet,” I whispered, my eyes scanning the dim corridor for any sign of escape. I could feel Aurora trembling against me, her small hands gripping my shirt tightly. I needed to reassure them both, but I had to stay focused.The guard’s footsteps paused just outside the door, and I held my breath, praying he wouldn’t turn back. I could see the tension in Darlene’s shoulders, and I wished I could ease her fears. If we were caught now, we would all be lost—my family’s safety depended on this moment.Just then, a faint noise caught my attention—an alarm blaring somewhere in the distance. The guard’s head snapped toward the sound, his expr
“Darlene,” he whispered, leaning closer, “I think I have an idea.”My breath hitched as I met his eyes. “What is it?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. Cullian glanced back at the dead man sprawled on the ground a few feet away. “We can take his uniform. It’s a little tight, but it should work. I can sneak out past the guards if I look like one of them.”I nodded, understanding the urgency of our situation. “Okay, but be careful. We don’t know how many guards are out there.”He nodded, and I watched as he moved cautiously toward the body. I kept my eyes on the entrance, ready to alert him if anyone approached. The man lay still, the remnants of life extinguished in a single gunshot. I suppressed a shudder as I thought about how close we had come to a similar fate. Cullian knelt beside him, carefully unbuttoning the uniform jacket. “Here goes nothing,” he murmured, stripping off the jacket and shirt. I could see the muscles in his arms tense as he pulled the fabric over his he
The fight went on until...“Let my family go, you bastard!” Cullian yelled, pushing Conri out the window.“What’s going on? I heard noises,” Conri's mother rushed into the room, her gaze landing on Cullian.“Who the hell are you?! Guards!” Conri's mother yelled.“You shouldn’t worry about them. They’re all unconscious. I’m just here to get my wife and daughter,” Cullian said, breaking the chains from my hands and legs.Conri's mother didn’t know that her son had fallen out of the window. Cullian and I kept quiet because if she found out, we wouldn’t be leaving here.“Why, then, is the room a mess, and where is my son?” she asked, her gaze searching the room.Cullian ignored her, grabbing my hand. “Come on, Darlene, let’s go. We have to find Aurora,” he said. I nodded.“I think I know where she is,” I responded, getting down from the bed as we both walked out of the room, leaving Conri's mother dumbstruck.“Hey, I need to get my daughter back,” I said, approaching the maid. She looked
