It was getting late already and Astrid figured it was time for her to leave, but Dan isn't there at the moment, it's just her and Kathryn.When Kathryn noticed how she kept on staring at her watch and looking towards the door, she rolled her eyes."You can leave you know, there's no need to wait for Dan to come back, I can take care of Kai myself." "Yeah right, rather than opening your mouth to say something, you could have just keep quiet." Astrid snapped."I'm not going to fight with you here Astrid, just leave already, your presence is suffocating me!" Kathryn fired.Astrid finally turned to look at her, she stared at her for sometime, thinking of what to say to her, but when she couldn't come up with anything, she let it be. No matter how long it's been, the fact that this lady in front of her, this lady she took as her own sister betrayed her still hurts deep down, once, Kathryn could do no wrong in her eyes, she saw her like an angel and blindly trusted her, but she turned out
"Why is she back here? I thought she left.'' Kathryn complained."I asked her to stay back Kathryn, it's too late already and it's not safe for her to go back home alone.""Not safe." Kathryn scoffed. "And who said she can't take care of herself, she has a wolf now Dan, she's no longer the old Astrid we know.'' She said sarcastically. ''She can do well on her own.""How did...." Dan trailed, he looked at Astrid and then at Kathryn, he can't tell how Kathryn knows about Astrid having a wolf now."I see you already know about that too." Kathryn said when she saw the look of surprise on Dan's face. "Don't be too shocked though, she was the one who finally revealed herself to me. Anyways Astrid, after the whole talk about you not being the old scared weak Astrid, I can't believe you can't take yourself home." She mocked. "You see Astrid, even though you have a wolf now, it doesn't change who you truly are and that's nothing but a weakling, you'll forever remain the same old Astrid no mat
Crystal moaned loudly as Lucas sucked on her boobs, a muffled groan escaped her lips, making Lucas member twitch with excitement.He removed his mouth from her breast to stare at her luscious body, he never thought he was going to have her in his bed again, but he really needed this and he couldn't resist her this time.As he continued to suck on her breast, Crystal shivered and he chuckled at her reaction."Oh Lucas." She moaned his name, pressing his head against her breast.He trailed wet kisses down her stomach until he got to her bellybutton. He let his tongue roll over her bellybutton, while his fingers toyed with her nipples.At this point, Crystal felt like she was going to explode from the amount of pleasure she's feeling at this moment. She's been waiting ages for this to happen and it finally did, after tonight, she was so sure things between her and Lucas are bound to change now.Lucas placed a wet kiss on her bellybutton before trailing kisses down to her pussy, he inhale
Kai's eyes fluttered open, but he closed them back immediately as he allowed his eyes to adjust to the light before opening them again.He looked at his side and he saw Dan sleeping soundly."Dan." He called in surprise and he instantly stood up. It wasn't his intention to wake Dan up, but his movement caused him to wake up.When Dan saw that he was awake, his face lit up with joy. "Kai! You're awake.""Forget about me, let's talk about you." Kai replied with a bright smile on his face."I woke up the day you got shot and there's no need to worry about me, I'm fine now.""You gave me a big scare Dan.""Look who's talking, you also scared me and look, Astrid is here too.'' He moved aside a little so Kai could get a good look at Astrid.When Dan saw the look of surprise on Kai's face, he chuckled. "She's been visiting every single day.""R...Really? W..Why would she do that? I find this so hard to believe." Kai replied, still staring at Astrid who was still fast asleep."She said she ow
Astrid instantly pushed Kai off and she slapped him hard across the face, then she left there immediately.When she got outside, she ran into Kathryn."Oh wow, look who's finally leaving, the bitch who was never invited here." Kathryn taunted. Astrid rolled her eyes at her."I have no time for your nonsense Kathryn and also, you're in luck today, since Kai's finally awake, you'll no longer be seeing me here, so you might as well go have a little celebration."Kathryn furrowed her brow. "Kai's awake?" She asked in surprise."I'm quite sure you're not deaf, you did hear me well the first time right." Astrid snapped, then she walked to her car, got in and zoomed off.A sly smirk appeared on Kathryn's lips. "I will have that celebration Astrid, but that's what I've finally gotten rid of you." She smiled before walking into the hospital.On her way back, Astrid couldn't stop thinking about the kiss and hating Kai for it, each time she remembers it, she'll angrily bang her fist on the car s
When Lucas couldn't get Astrid, he decides to go over to the shadow claw pack and bring her back home himself.He hurriedly got prepared and left the pack with Beta Drake.On their way to the shadow claw pack, they saw Astrid's car parked in the middle of the road and Beta Drake instantly stopped the car.They both rushed out of the car and ran to where Astrid's car was parked, the door to the drivers side was left open."This is Astrid's car, but where could she be?" Lucas asked, already panicking.He checked the car and her bag was there, he also saw her phone and her wallet, nothing was stolen, but Astrid was nowhere to be found."I think something has happened to her." Beta Drake said, looking around for any clue at all.Lucas now understood why she wasn't taking his call, it's because she wasn't with her phone all along, now there's no way to tell how long she's been gone."What do we do Alpha?" Beta Drake asked.At this moment, anger also added to his panic, he knew he shouldn't
Kayden looked at both his brothers and noticed they were about to cry, he then held their hands to comfort them."Don't listen to aunt Crystal, mommy is not dead, mommy will never leave us.""But why haven't we seen her and where did daddy go?" Braden asked in tears."What if she's telling the truth Kayden? What are we going to do? I don't want to live without mommy." Jayden cried."I want to see mommy Kayden, I want to see mommy and daddy." Braden added, sobbing even harder."Nothing's happened to mommy and they'll be back soon, you know aunt doesn't like us, she's just saying that to us, don't let her get to you." Kayden replied. He doesn't believe a single word Crystal said and he's feeling bad because his brothers think she's saying the truth."Mommy and daddy will be home soon, we just have to be patient and wait for them, do you two really think mommy will ever leave us?" He asked. "You already know how aunt is, so don't listen to a word she says and trust me, mommy will be home
Astrid groaned as she slowly opened her eyes, at first she was confused about everything until it all came rushing back to her. The man she almost hit with her car, how she had gone to check if he was okay and that same man injecting her with something that made her unconscious."Oh no." She muttered. She tried getting up, but that was when she realized she's been tied to a chair, she looked around the room she was in and the whole place was so empty and it reeks of alcohol and smoke."I have to get out of here." She panicked. She struggled to free herself, but it was useless and the more she struggled, the more pain she felt since the chain she's been tied with was silver and it was burning her pretty badly, struggling only made it worse."I have to get home, I have to get home to my kids." She cried. She looked down at herself and saw she was now putting on the singlet she had inside her shirt, her shirt was nowhere to be found.She couldn't tell who was behind this, but all she kno
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
