Fredrick's POV

We were still in the office. It was as if time slowed down, and it was favoring me. I have waited for this day for so long. There was no space between us. Her lips were soft and tender.

She tried to hesitate but I didn't let her. Her hesitation stopped, and the kiss deepened into a passionate one. I pulled her closer and slid my hands around her waist. My fingers pierced into her skin as I didn't want to let go.

It was as if all the feelings I tried to hide were being let out in the form of a kiss. In that moment, nothing else mattered. I just didn't want this moment to end.

I had imagined this kiss for so long. I felt her weak hesitation but it was no match for me.

But, suddenly, she looked at me with anger in her eyes. I felt her hands on my chest, it wasn't a show of pleasure but she was trying to resist me.

She pushed me away with a surprising strength. Sure she was a werewolf, but I didn't expect her strength to compare to mine.

    Chapter 25Adrianna's POVI went back to my seat. I felt like going home because I wasn't in a good mood but I knew that wouldn't be a good idea.I was so angry at myself. I remember at some point, I relaxed while he was kissing me and I hated it. Why would he kiss me like that?I tried to focus on my work. I was already late, so I had a lot to do. A pile of papers stacked in front of me, on my table. I bent my head down on the table. I tried to go back to myself unless I couldn't focus on my work."Are you okay?" I heard someone ask.I stood up and it was Lyla. "Yeah, I guess, "I responded."What happened? How did it go?"She asked.How was I to answer her right now? Instead of Fredrick being angry at me for coming late, he kissed me instead."It…uhh.."I tried to explain but Lyla looked behind me and quickly went back to her position. She looked like she was scared.I turned to see who she saw, it was Fredrick. I prayed he wasn't coming to meet me. If he was, I could flip. He walked

    Chapter 26Adrianna's POV.The journey back to the school took a lot of time but it was better than a cab. If I decided to stay back and find a cab, I was certain I would still be there by now.If it was for my kids, I was ready to accept requests from Fredrick. Even if I hated him, I needed his help this time. I couldn't be stubborn at a time like this.We finally got to the school. The school compound was empty. There was no sign of anyone around. We arrived there almost five. I prayed the kids were safe. I was already freaking out.I ran into the school looking for them. No one was around. "Jackson! Hayley!"I called out to them."Hayley!!"I shouted.I heard the sound of a door unlocked behind me and I turned around. I saw them come out from a classroom with a lady with them. "Mom!"They both ran towards me."Oh, my babies," I said, hugging them. "I'm so sorry for coming late," I told them."Hi, I'm Mrs Smith. I'm their homeroom teacher."The Lady said stretching up her hands.She wa

    Chapter 27Fredrick's POVAfter dropping Adrianna and her kids home, I didn't go back to the office, instead, I went home. A lot was on my mind and I needed to think about it.I was feeling very restless after seeing Adrianna's children. I have never had that kind of connection with children before so I wouldn't know what it meant. But whatever it meant, I needed to find out why I was so drawn to them.I decided to make inquiries. I picked up my phone and decided to call someone who might be able to help me out. The phone rang for a while before he finally answered. "Fredrick," Steven called. "Hey, Steven." "Hey, why the sudden call?" He asked surprisingly. "Did Adrianna do something?" "Why? Is it a crime to call my future brother-in-law?" I said. "And Adrianna hasn't done anything, she's been working hard." I told him.She had been walking hard but the part where she hadn't done anything to offend me was a lie. I could begin to list them if I wanted her fires but this wasn't the

    Chapter 28Fredrick's POV,We didn't talk too long, and then Steven left. I sat at the counter, taking my third drink. I could hear music playing. But it wasn't the music everyone was dancing to before. It was changed to a kind of music that felt distant.It had been five years since that night, I buried it because I felt bad about the fact that I never got to see her face. But fate had a cruel way of bringing past mistakes back to the present. And today, it hit me hard when I found out Adrianna was the one.The girl who I took advantage of out of recklessness. The girl whose life I destroyed. And those kids she had now, were mine.I slammed the glass on the counter, the impact causing everyone to stare at me but I didn't care. The bartender glanced at me with concern all over his eyes but he didn't dare say anything.Maybe because he was scared and didn't want to get involved, or maybe he was just used to seeing broken men at the counter.The memory of Adrianna haunted me. I never th

    Chapter 29Adrianna's POVWhy Fredrick was acting strangely? I had no idea. Why he raised his voice at me when I was only being nice, I didn't know. I wondered what made him so angry this morning. He was all nice yesterday and suddenly he lashed out at me for no reason.I was only thanking him and being nice. This is what happens when you try to be nice to an arrogant wolf-like Fredrick. It was my mistake, one I would never make again."What did you do now?"Lyla asked.Lyla was one of the very few people I talked to at work. She assisted me with some of my work since she was also a secretary. Other than that, she tells me about the do's and don'ts of Fredrick. Things I should know to avoid being fired. She was the reason why I was still here. She reminded me to always apologize to Fredrick even if I didn't want to.Some mornings I see him walk into his office and feel like he can get his coffee himself.I don't say it out loud just in my thought. But she always tried to remind me eve

"I said softly.He just showed up out of nowhere.I turned to Fredrick and he was still there. "I told you to stop doing that. What do you want? Do you need anything?"I whispered. "Sir?"I added.I wondered if he heard my conversation with Shawn. He didn't have the right to eavesdrop on my conversation. "I'm sorry."He said, disrupting my thoughts. His eyes showed remorse in them. "What?""I'm sorry," he apologized."You're sorry?"I joked while smiling. "For what exactly?""For yelling at you. I was going through something when you came in. I didn't mean to respond to you like that. "He elaborated."You are sorry?"I asked him.It was surprising to see him apologize. Not that he hadn't done it before but today seemed different."Yes, I am. I am."He added."Suree. That isn't weird at all."I stated."I'm being serious right no

    Chapter 31Adrianna's POVSaturday finally came. Fredrick sent a text to me saying we would meet up by ten. I felt really good waking up without trying to rush and get to work early.I stayed on my bed for a while just meditating on the time I had left. I had nothing to do, all I had to do that day was just to take care of the kids. That was all, I did nothing at home.After meditation, I went to the kid's room and woke them up. They weren't ready to stand up yet. "Why do we need to wake up early?" Hayley cried."We're not even going to school. It's Saturday." Jackson said, sitting up."Don't you want to go out?" I asked them.Hayley quickly got up. "Where are we going to?" She asked."It's a surprise. You just have to get ready." I told them.I didn't know where we were going either. This was probably reckless but I had no idea why I agreed to this. "Okay okay," Jackson said.They both got up from their beds, ready to take their bath.I did all that needed to be done. We were read

The best option would have been to push him away while he kissed me and give him a slap like the first time, but I couldn't see myself doing it.The kids and I were building sand castles. I could feel his stares burning through me. I tried to avoid eye contact but whenever I turned around, I caught his eyes on me."Mom," Jackson broke off the stare."Yes, Baby," I answered."Do you like Uncle Fredrick?"The kid in front of me asked.I wasn't expecting that kind of question from him. Yeah, I knew they saw us kissing by chance but they wouldn't know the meaning. *Yeah, mom. You like him, right?"Hayley added."What do you know about liking someone? You're just five." I asked them."I know a lot. One of my friends from school says she has a crush on a boy in our class. I asked her why she liked him and she said because he was handsome.She explained."Is that so?"I

Instead, he just focused on the road with a neutral expression.He should have known that I would be jealous. Wasn't it obvious? Didn't I make it obvious enough?I decided to remain quiet too.

I tried to brush it off, telling myself that being jealous was ridiculous, but it didn't help.I looked away, trying to focus on the kids but my eyes kept going back to them.Her hands were on his waist for too long. She was hugging him tight. I might have been exaggerating, but I felt the hug was too clingy and intimate.Who was this woman? And why was Frederick doing nothing about her? All these questions swirled through my head.I had no idea if Frederick had a friend or not. He never talked about it. All I knew was that he went to work and dealt with his pack problems.I didn't know what was going on there. Frederick reciprocated the hug without any argument. His hands were around her, holding her close with a smile.I watched them, feeling my jealousy increase. I couldn't believe my eyes. Why was Fr

    Chapter 113Adrianna's POVI almost burst into laughter at the sight of my father asking for forgiveness. “You're asking for forgiveness? You? After everything you've done, you're asking me to forgive you?You aren't even capable of apologizing to someone, let alone me. All these are just a trick. A trick to try and manipulate me again, but this time it isn't going to work.”I took another step closer to him.” You do not get to apologize now, not after all these years. You don't get to act like you care about me all of a sudden or you see me as a person.You had decades to make everything right, but you did nothing. All you did was like and manipulate me, Dad.” I said, furiously.“I can't even call you that because you aren't even my real dad.You are not sorry; you're just sorry you were caught. You are only sorry because I found out the truth.If I didn't come here to say all these, you wouldn't think about apologizing to me.” I walked back to my mom. “Can you at least tell me why

I knew he wouldn't think about that first because we have been through a lot lately. So, I wasn't expecting him to put the fact that Hayley was kidnapped aside and look for the truth about my parents.“What do you mean? What exactly did she say?” He asked.“She said I wasn't her real sister. My father and mother aren't my parents either. I was suspicious about this from th

I assumed it was Frederick since he said he would be right back and that he needed to get something.But I was wondering why he knocked when he could have just walked in. “You can come in,” I said, waiting for him to step in.The door opened, and I was surprised, more like shocked, to see Shawn and not Frederick.My smile faltered and I felt a little disappointed that it wasn't Frederick. All the things Shawn had said to me started coming back all over again.“What brings you here?” I asked, trying not to sound too unpleasant.He looks around the room first before looking back at me. “I just wanted to check up on you, and see how you are doing,” he said.I felt uneasy for some reason.
