“Darlene,” Conri walked out from the entrance door, he stood a few steps behind me.“You said you loved me, yet you left me for someone else, what's going to be different now? Tell me, what's the difference? And how sure Am i that you aren't going to leave me again?” I asked. I heard him release a heavy sigh.“Darlene please, don't say that, I swear, I will never think of losing you again, and, I know you're still mad at me, I know you still hurt over my foolishness, over my stupidity. But, that was six years ago. I have grown up as a man, and now I know what's better. You know, I thank the moon goddess for letting Juliet leave me, and that is because if she hadn't, I wouldn't realize I had lost a precious jewel like you. I really messed up, I got carried away, and I hurt you so much. And you have every right to be mad at me, but…but I love you, and that's all I know right now, that's all that matters to me right now,” Conri said his breath shaky, like he was about to cry, No! He wo
“Conri!“ Darlene called again. But yet Conri ignored, he was literally advancing towards me, with every step he took, I tried to figure out how to get out of here, how to avoid getting caught, Although I was in my wolf form, I could run faster, I could also kill him, I could attack him even before he thinks of shifting, I also could attack him now, even before he sees me. But his guards, they might harm the kids inside, they might also harm Darlene, I have to think of something right now. “Conri, you know what! I am done!” Conri paused on his track, he slowly turned around. “I am done with this whole bullshit!“ Darlene lamented. “He bag an advancing towards her.“I'm sorry, you know you can't do that,” I heard him say to her.“You're making me sick and tired of you already! I have barely spent a day with you, and you're making me complain about your insecurities, look, I have told you countless times, Cullian can never find us, your just paranoid over some forest animal, I made th
Conri took me to our room, this was the first time I have been to the room since I arrived. The kids were already fast asleep, so were the maid, and the Gammas. But Conri, Conri wasn't even looking sleepy at all, although I shouldn't be worried because he only drank the smoothie a few minutes ago, I should give him more time.“Babe, I want this night to be the best night of my life, not just my life, but our life, we're going to make memories my love,” Conri bent to kiss me. I took a step backwards, avoiding his kiss.“Uhmm! Conri, I need to go freshen up,” I said, he grunted, dragging me close to him.“Babe you can do that once we're done, I can't wait,” he groaned, kissing my neck, my shoulder, my forehead and then my lips. I pulled out of his grip again.“No Conri, you must have forgotten that I don't make love without having a shower, besides I didn't take my bath after the journey, just give me a few seconds, I'll be quick,” I said. Conri grunted again.“Fine, how about I join y
“Darlene, are you in there?“ I heard again.“Cullian,” I muttered. No it couldn't be Cullian, my head must have been fucking with me.“Darlene, are you in there?“ I quickly stood up, unlocking the door, I opened the door to see Cullian.“Cullian?“ I asked in bewilderment.“Is this really you?“ I asked, looking at him from his head to toe. I was surprised to see him in Conri's clothes. Why was he in Conri's clothes? How did he find us? How did he know we were here? Did he follow us? There were a lot of questions in my head, questions that I wanted to ask right away, but I couldn't because he drew me out of the bathroom. He Cupped my face with both his hands, pressing his lips against mine.I took his lips, kissing him slowly but he pulled out of our kiss sooner than I wanted, his thumb caressing my cheek.“I.. I didn't mean to leave, I—i didn't…”“Shhhhh,” he said, placing his forefinger on my lips.“I know, save that for later Darlene, where is the kids room, I'm here to get you all
(Soft Whimpering)A few hours after Darlene and Cullian left with the kids, Conri woke up with a sharp headache, he groaned in pain. He raised his head from the floor, looming around and wondering where he was. The place looked blurred and unfamiliar to him because he had never slept or woken up on the floor in the corridor.He groaned trying to figure out where it was, until he realized he was laying on the floor, in the corridor. It took him a few seconds after, before he could realize that he was naked. What? He quickly stood up, luckily everywhere was still dark so everyone would have still been asleep and no one could see him.Speaking of everyone, Conri stood up, he groaned because he felt another sharp headache.He walked back to the room but Darlene wasn't there. The last thing Conri could remember was Darlene going to take her bath. And that was it, how did he end up laying naked in the corridor.Conri opened the door to the bathroom.“Darlene?“ He called, he opened the bathr
“Yes, I'd like to hear it,” She said. Darlene watched Cullian sit by a branch. Aurora came to sit next to him, she rested her head on his shoulder while Blake and Drake stood beside Darlene. Cullian was about to speak when Blake tapped on his mother.“Mum, he's coming,” Darlene bent down, looking straight at Blake eyes that had turned golden, Blake had green eyes, Darlene had never seen his eyes turn golden before. She said nothing because she didn't want to scare him..“Who's coming baby?“ She asked, she looked at Cullian, then back at Blake.“Uncle Conri, he's about a thousand feet away,” Darlene covered her mouth with her palm. Cullian stood up, he carried Aurora as he advanced towards Darlene, Drake and Blake.Darlene looked up at Cullian to get his reaction. He looked a bit surprised, but mostly worried, why was he worried?“How do you know that?“ Darlene asked.“I don't know mum, I can hear him, and feel him,” Blake said. Darlene turned away, cleaning the tear drops from her
“Screams!““Clothes ripping apart”“Bones cracking,”We both asked the kids to turn around, not wanting to terrify them. It's been so long, so, so, long , yet somehow, with the help of my husband I was Blue to shift. It hurt so much at first, but then the pain began to subside as the power began to overtake me. Yes power, because. I have never felt so strong and powerful in my entire life. I grew up being this Omega, no one wanted to talk to, or be friend's with, my whole life has been of shame and weakness. Being constantly told by everyone that I was so weak and powerless. Even by my parents too.And for my parents. I haven't seen or heard from them since I walked away from the park. I do not care about their whereabouts because I would never believe they could watch me suffer and watch me leave the park without even making any attempt to find me.What if Cullian hadn't come for me? I and my three beautiful kids who were now staring at me nervously wouldn't have been alive by now.
“Dad, he's close, so close, I can feel him, I'm scared, Dad, is he here to take mum?” Blake said as Cullian and Darlene increased their pace.“No Buddy, he's not,”“Why then is he after us, why did he bring us here, I don't want to go back there, I don't like him, I like you better,” Blake mumbled.“Yes Dad, I don't like him too, I don't just like you better, I love you,” Drake added. Drake has been quiet since the whole incident. Drake used to be the bubbly, inquisitive, talkative, but lately, he's been so called. Which was getting Darlene worried.But right now, she could almost cry hearing her kids yell Cullian how much they love him.“I lol be you also dad,” Aurora said shyly. Cullian hasn't just been the best husband to Darlene. He has been a wonderful father to the kids as well.He could have just gone on with his life, Despite all the trouble Darlene had caused him. But no! He came here to fight for her, for his family. Even if he knew he could risk his life.“I love you all s
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
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
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
