"What the hell do you want from me Kai! Haven't you caused enough damage already and how the hell did you even get my number!" She fumed."Please listen to me Astrid, I swear I have no idea that Kathryn was going to do something like this, but I promise to set things right.""How!?" She fired. "How the hell do you plan to set things right huh? Do you even have any idea the amount of damage you two have caused me? No you don't!" She seethed. "Look Kai, I do not want to speak to you, so don't ever call me again, just stay the hell away from me, anytime I see you, you're always causing me issues, get out of my life please!" She then hung up, not sparing him the chance to say anything else.Few seconds after she hung up, her phone started ringing again and it was still Kai who was calling her.Astrid literally groaned out loud, feeling a strong urge to just smash her phone, but she managed to refrain herself from doing so and ended the call instead. But then, Kai wouldn't relent as he ke
Kathryn was running through the woods, ignorant that she was being followed ever since she left the palace.She paused to catch her breath when a strong gust of wind hit her face hard, a man suddenly appeared before her, causing her to stumble backwards in fear.His outfit were all black and due the mask he had on, it was difficult to make out his identity."Who are you?" Kathryn questioned in a trembling voice as she slowly began to retreat, not taking her eyes off him."You'll need to come with me." He replied with a low growl and although she couldn't see his face, she could tell he was literally smirking at her.Kathryn had an eerie feeling about this and she actually did the first thing that came to her mind. Run!Due to how exhausted she was, she couldn't even get too far before he caught her and before she even had the chance to struggling or scream, she felt something sharp pierce into her neck.Her head began to spin and her vision became blurry, it was only a matter of a fe
Lucas sharply stood up, he also brought out his wolf, his eyes glowing red, he roared loudly before running to attack Kai.Both men began fighting viciously and Astrid frantically looked around as she thought of what to do.The guards on seeing what was happening wanted to attack Kai, but Dan immediately blocked their way, growling dangerously at them.Each wanting to protect their Alpha's, the guards roared loudly before attacking Dan and another battle ensured between them.When Astrid saw Dan and the guards fighting, she gasp. "Oh no, this is bad." She muttered, her eyes darting between both people."Kai! Lucas! Stop it right now!" She yelled, but they completely ignored her.Kai angrily slashed Lucas's chest, causing him to roar in pain. Lucas threw a punch at him, but he dodged and gave a counter attack.The whole commotion going on attracted the attention of everyone in the palace, Crystal ran downstairs and when she saw what was going on, she gasp in shock, even the triplets le
Lucas and Astrid both sat outside the operating theater waiting for Kayden's operation to be over. Astrid couldn't stop crying and although Lucas kept on trying his best to comfort her and assure her that everything will be okay, it wasn't working."My baby, my poor baby." She cried bitterly. Lucas gently placed her head on his shoulder. "Nothing's going to happen to him Astrid, I assure you, he's going to be fine." He said soothingly."He was bleeding Lucas, my little boy was bleeding, he's just a little boy." She sobbed.Lucas sighed deeply. "This is all my fault, I had caused this, I'm so sorry Astrid, it's all because of me." He apologized.Astrid raised her head to look at him. "It's not your fault Lucas, Kai is the one who caused this, he's the one who hurt my son." She said with gritted teeth.And that moment, the doctor walked out of the operating theater."Doctor Tory." Lucas called as they both stood up."H...how's my baby doctor? W..will he be alright? Please tell me he's
A couple of hours has gone by but Kayden is yet to wake up, Astrid couldn't stop worrying about him, she's even called the doctor countless of time to come and check up on him, but each time she tells her the same thing."He'll be fine Astrid, he'll be awake soon." She'll say.Even Lucas hasn't left their side since and he's also trying his best to put Astrid at ease.Currently, she sat at Kayden's side and hasn't let go of his hand, a lone tear slipped down her cheek as she looked at him, she was silently praying to the goddess for him to wake up and her prayers were finally answered.She felt Kayden give her hand a little squeeze and she moved even closer to him."Kayden, honey." She called excitedly. "Lucas come, I think he's waking up now." She said.Lucas hurriedly stood up from where he was sitting across the room and rushed to Kayden's side.Kayden's eyes slowly opened, but he shut them immediately due to brightness of the light, he waited a while for his eyes to adjust to it b
Astrid was just coming out of the bathroom with Kayden when Lucas arrived with his brother's."Kayden!" They both screamed as they ran to hug him."Alright there, you both be careful now, we don't want to hurt him." Astrid said, trying to contain her laughter."Ouch, this must hurt a lot." Braden said as he gently touched the bandage wrapped around his head."Does it hurt?" Jayden asked."Not really, I think I'm good." Braden replied with a smile."I'm glad to see you're getting better, you really are strong Kayden." Lucas praised."Just like you daddy." Kayden replied, causing Lucas to burst into laughter."That's right, just like me." He replied proudly."Err...Astrid, I'll leave you with the kids for now, there's something I need to see to.""Oh sure, there's no problem.""I'll be back as soon as I can." He said. Astrid smiled."You can take your time since it's important, I'll be with them don't worry." She replied reassuringly.Lucas gave her a bag containing some toys Jayden and
When Astrid has managed to calm down, Dan apologized once more for making her cry and bringing back memories that she only wanted to forget. He then suggest they changed the topic and Astrid was more than glad to do so."So you've got a wolf now." He said. Astrid smiled."Yeah, I have wolf now.""But how come? I mean everyone thought you were—""An omega." Astrid completed. "Even I thought so too, it took so so long for me to get her." She sighed. "I got my wolf few months after the birth of the triplets, it turns out that I was just a really really late bloomer.""Wow." Dan replied in amazement. "The kids really are a blessing.""I couldn't agree more.'' Astrid proudly replied."Will you be able to show me your wolf? It will amazing to meet her.""Err...I don't think you're ready for that," She smirked."How do you mean?" Dan asked, giving her a suspicious look.Astrid chuckled softly. "Nothing, I'm just saying you're going to be really surprised when you see her, she's magnificent."
Kai sat on the cushion in Kayden's ward watching Dan and Astrid play with the kids, he just couldn't stop admiring them, he then fixed his gaze on Astrid, with him she was so cold that she's like a whole new person entirely, but with the kids she's different, she smiled more, she laughs more and she's so free.Seeing her laugh and looking so beautiful only made his heart race.Astrid could literally feel his eyes on her, so she turned to look at him."What?" She mouthed, a frown on her face.Kai pointed at the door, signaling to her that he wanted to speak with her, then he stood up and went outside.Astrid sighed deeply, she looked at the kids and there were so focused on the game they were playing with Dan, so she quietly stood up and went outside."I hope those two won't get into a fight." Dan muttered.Astrid met Kai waiting right outside Kayden's ward."What do you want?" She asked rudely."Can we please go somewhere private to talk?" Kai asked."Whatever." Astrid replied before
A few days has passed and things seems to be more stable, Astrid was now living her best life in the shadow claw pack with her mate and kids. She already introduced Kai to the triplets and told them that he was their real father, not Lucas. Obviously, the kids had a lot of questions to ask, she and Kai did their best in explaining to their understanding, although the kids would never fully get the story until they are all grown up, but they loved Kai so much already and accepted him with open arms. Crystal and Kieran had also come to pay them a visit. The kids reaction on seeing Kieran was priceless, they mistook him for Lucas and everyone couldn't resist laughing that day, but then they made them understand that Kieran wasn't Lucas, but his identical twin brother, they also used them as an example, since they were also identical, and that cleared up their confusion. Currently, Astrid was in bed sleeping, but her sleep got interrupted when she perceived the aroma of the food Kai had
Astrid had just arrived at the location Kathryn sent to her, she got down from the car and looked around, but there was no sight of Kathryn or her kids anywhere. She was about calling her with the same phone from earlier when she finally saw her.Astrid didn't wait for Kathryn to get to her, she ran to her instead."Where are my kids Kathryn?'' She asked.Kathryn rolled her eyes at her. "First thing first, did you come alone?" She asked while looking around."Of course I did." Astrid replied with a straight face."Good, now come with me." Kathryn ordered."Where are my kids!?" Astrid impatiently asked."If you want to see them then you'll come with me." Kathryn replied with gritted teeth, already feeling extremely pissed.Astrid didn't say anything else after that, she quietly went with Kathryn. Kathryn took her to where the kids were."Mommy!!" The triplets screamed on seeing her.Astrid immediately ran to them and hugged them tightly. "Oh goodness, thank the goddess you three are al
Everyone is already back at the pack and Kai and Dan are back to their human form and now putting on clothes. Astrid wanted to see the triplets immediately before doing anything else, so the trio went upstairs to the room they had kept the triplets and a maid to watch over them.When they got to the room, the sight that met them was something they never expected.The maid they had left in charge of the triplets was lying dead on the floor, drowning in a pool of her own blood and the triplets were nowhere to be found."K...Kai." Astrid stuttered, staring at the dead maid in shock.There was a note lying beside the maid and she hurriedly went to pick it up, she opened it up and it was note written to her, telling her that the triplets were going to die if she didn't leave Kai alone.Astrid covered her mouth as hot tears streamed down her cheeks, she could clearly recognize the owner of that writing.Kai and Dan rushed to her side, he took the paper from her and when he read it, his face
When they arrived at the wild crest pack, it wasn't easy getting inside the palace since the guards wouldn't let them in, so they had to fight their way in, leading to so much death and bloodshed.When they've successful won over the guards and went inside, they searched everywhere for Astrid and Lucas, but they were nowhere to be found in the palace."Damn it!" Kai screamed in rage."Calm down Kai, we'll find her, that's for sure." Dan comforted."There's no time to waste, I should have known that damn man would switch locations." Kai spat."What do we do next?" Crystal asked.They all had blood stains on their clothes and face."I know Astrid scent so well, I can find her by tracking down her scent." Kai replied, then he ran outside while the others trailed behind him.They all dashed into the woods, following Kai's lead.Meanwhile, Lucas had successfully gotten Astrid to shift into her wolf form, she was a huge and lovely wolf with golden fur and silver streaks on her fur.He had a
Lucas went to grab a chair that was in the room, then he carried it to where Astrid was seated on the floor, he kept the chair in front of her before taking a seat."So, you want to know why I haven't gotten rid of you all these while and kept you close to me for many years?" "What the hell are you talking about!?" Astrid seethed, breathing heavily.Lucas chuckled softly. "You really have no idea of what you truly are and the kind of power you hold." He replied, causing a huge frown to appear on Astrid's face."Let me tell you about what you really are....''"I never knew you were a lucky wolf until the day you had your first shift and I saw the color of your fur, a wolf like you is truly rare Astrid and if words gets out about you, many people will come for you and it's not going to be for good." He started. "Have you ever wondered why your wolf's coat is golden and has silver streak?" He asked, but Astrid said nothing because she's never really thought about why her wolf's color wa
The next day, Astrid decides to confront Lucas, so when he returned from work, she went straight to his office at home to see him, but before going to Lucas, she had reached out to Crystal and informed her about everything, and against Crystal's warnings, Astrid still decides to go see Lucas. When she got to his office, she knocked on his door."Who's there?" Lucas questioned from inside."It's me Astrid, I need to speak to you." "I have nothing to say to you, so leave!""Well I have something to say and I'm coming in." She fiercely replied and without saying anything else, she opened the door and walked in.Lucas raised his head from the documents on his table, from the look on his face, one could tell he was annoyed."What do you want Astrid?" "What's with you Lucas? I don't understand you these days and it clearly looks to me like there's more than just me exacting revenge on Kai so tell me what it is?" Astrid questioned daringly.At first, Lucas had no expression on his face, bu
After that day and after having that conversation with Lucas, Astrid began noticing a lot of changes in him, even after a few days has passed, he became so cold towards her and yelled at for any slight mistakes. He hardly pays any attention to the triplets and they didn't fail to notice the change since he now scolds them a lot and this was something he never does before. Everything just changed and turned for the worse.Each time she tries to leave, even if it was to go get some groceries, Lucas would never agree to let her leave the house and even if he was going to let her go, she isn't allowed to leave the house alone and he'll make sure she goes with a guard or two and sometimes it's Beta Drake who goes with her, it's more like she's now a prisoner in the palace and her every move is being monitored.Everything was just so weird and she couldn't even understand anything that's happening, he's even stopped the triplets from going to school and when she confronted him about it, he
The triplets ran to hug Astrid, still holding some of the gifts Lucas bought for them, after excitedly telling their mother about the many gifts Lucas brought with him, they then went to hug Kai.Astrid looked at Lucas and from the look on his face, she could tell he was so upset to see her with Kai.Lucas didn't even bother saying anything because if he were to talk, then he's going to seriously loose it and he wouldn't want the triplets to see that side of him, so he simply went upstairs to his room, silently boiling with rage.Astrid sighed deeply, she's going to need to speak to him. She turned to Kai and saw him playing with the triplets who were so excited about their new toys, the beautiful sight before her brought so much joy to her heart and she couldn't even resist smiling as she watched them with so much love and admiration in her eyes. Soon, she's going to have to tell the kids about Kai being their real father, she can't continue keeping the truth from them, she couldn't
The guards escorted Kathryn out of the pack, while Dan took the Doctor away, everyone left, leaving just Astrid and Kai.Kai looked at Astrid, she only met his eyes for a second before looking away, it's so obvious that she must be feeling so bad right now and Kai wanted to use that to his advantage.He felt the strong urge to talk to her but he managed to control himself, he didn't say a single word to her but turned around to leave.When Astrid noticed he wanted to leave, she ran to stand in front of him and grabbed his hand."Kai wait!'' She said. Kai paused, then he turned his back to her, not wanting to look at her face."I...I'm so sorry for doubting you and saying those mean words to you, I know you're probably upset with me right now and maybe even hate me but—"Kai sharply turned around and placed his index finger on her lips to keep her from speaking."Upset, not really, but hate, how can you even say that? How can you even think for one second that I will hate you Astrid? T
