Beatrice's POVThe question of Laz is out of my control. I couldn't answer them. They just heaved a sigh and readied to sleep.I sighed even more. I caressed their cheeks and mumbled my apology. They didn't look at me and they just close their eyes.I bit my lower lip, suppressing my tears. I don't want to tell them the truth. Even if it means I hurt them with this. I don't want to hurt them anymore. They don't deserve it. They don't deserve him.I know Dylan knows the truth. I could sense it. I could feel it. The way he looked at me. The way he talked to me. I know, there's something he wants to ask me but he's suppressing himself."I... I'm sorry, Dylan! L-Let me explain—" he cut me off.Instead of getting angry, he hugged me like nothing happened. He hugged me tight. I know he could smell me. He could still smell the scent of Lucas but he didn't give a damn about it. He was just hugging me so I hug him back.I pressed my face into his chest even more. I want to feel his warm touch.
As Dylan answered the message of Beatrice, he heaved a deep sigh. When he was about to return his phone in his pocket, his phone rang and his mother's is under the caller ID. He shook his head and sigh again.He answered the call."Hello, mother?" he greeted."Oh, I am glad you answer it, son!" His mama replied. "I guess, you know already why I called you?"Dylan bit his lips."What is it, Mama?" he asked."I want you to go home. Your brother is getting married. And I don't want you to miss their marriage." His mother informed.A smile plastered on his lips. This time, he was so happy that he was able to go back in his pack again. To witness the wedding of his brother."Alright, mama!" he agreed. "I will surely be there. I'll go home." Dylan blurted with a smile on his lips.He knew that his half-brother will marry his ex-mate. He feels sad but happy too. Since it was already settled then, he won't interfere. He won't be a hindrance of the wedding of his half-brother."Will this be ok
Beatrice noticed the rage blazing in Lucas's eyes as she walked over to Dylan. His muscles tensed with repressed emotion, his jaw locked firmly. She sensed the pressure bouncing off him in waves, a tangible force that seemed ready to swallow them all.Even with all the chaos boiling beneath the surface, Lucas kept his composure as Beatrice got closer. His features were concealed by a stoic mask that revealed nothing of the internal storm.Beatrice, her heart heaving with anxiety, glanced warily in Lucas's direction as she arrived at Dylan's side. She was aware that he was upset with her for approaching Dylan when he was at his most vulnerable, in addition to with Dylan.But Lucas stuck to his guns despite the building hostility between them. He took a deep breath and forced himself to control the growing wave of emotion that was about to overwhelm him. With everything on the line, he could not afford to lose control at this time.With a silent nod, Lucas acknowledged Beatrice's presen
Back home, Beatrice carefully assisted Dylan in changing his medicine, her mind preoccupied with the events of the day. As she tended to his wounds, her eyes drifted to the claw marks on his skin, a stark reminder of the danger they had narrowly escaped.But as she examined the wounds more closely, a frown creased her brow. Something didn't quite add up. The claw marks on Dylan's body were different from the ones she had seen on the werewolves who had kidnapped the twins before.Her heart raced with a mixture of confusion and concern as she tried to make sense of the discrepancy. Could it be possible that there was another party involved, someone other than Lucas and his pack?With worried face, she tried to ask him about the scratch."What happened to this? It's just... they aren't the same with this," she said, tracing the scratch in his neck.Dylan shook his head. "Nothing, love." He replied.It was serious. His tone and even his expression.Beatrice's mind raced with possibilities
As emotions reached a fever pitch in the Blood Pack's domain, an unexpected savior arrived from the darkness. Andrew, Alpha Allen's son and Dylan's half-brother, entered the scene with a commanding presence that immediately calmed the chaos.His authoritative presence and firm reprimand quiet the ridiculing guards, allowing him to seize control of the situation. With a sense of duty and obligation, Andrew escorted Beatrice and Dylan to the palace, which housed the pack's power.As Andrew led the way forward, Beatrice couldn't help but feel a mixture of relief and anxiety. Although she appreciated his help, there was still a tension that she couldn't seem to get rid of, especially between Dylan and Andrew.Even though they were related by blood, Dylan's aloof response and Andrew's desire for closeness revealed the obvious distance between them.While strolling through the opulent corridors of the palace, Beatrice noticed Andrew's quiet attempts to close the distance between him and Dyl
As the atmosphere becomes intense. Jai, Dylan's ex-mate couldn't stop herself from asking him again about his decision."Dylan, what is this I hear about you getting married? Is this some sort of joke?" Jai's eyes narrowed upon him.Dylan was steadfast. "No, Jai. It's not a joke. Beatrice and I have made the decision to get married." He replied to her.His ex-mate swallowed hard. Dylan knows where she's coming from but he is determined right now. He will marry her. Beatrice Everdeen. He won't hesitate it. Right after what had happened before. He is persistent to seek his revenge.Nervously, Beatrice interrupts. "We understand if this comes as a shock, Jai. But we hope that in time, you'll see that our love is genuine."The three of them were shocked and at the same time look at each other most especially Jai and Dylan. They don't know why did she said that but in fact, Jai will get married soon. She just did that to smoothen the heavy atmosphere around them and not jump to a conclusio
In the midst of the unexpected development, Dylan's former partner, Jai, was experiencing a wave of emotions.She was furious that Alpha Allen had shown Beatrice and her twins such hospitality, and she found it difficult to remain calm in the face of such kindness.Even though she felt guilty about Beatrice and her kids being accepted by the pack, she was aware that it was inappropriate to openly challenge the Alpha's authority.With the majesty of Alpha Allen towering above the assembly, Jai experienced the burden of her own shortcomings bearing down on her.The possibility that Beatrice would be accepted as a valued member of the pack threatened to dominate her own position in the hierarchy.Knowing that she could not publicly disagree with the Alpha's choice without risking the tenuous power structure within the pack was a painful pill to take."You aren't going to defy me, Jai. You won't like it if you did," Alpha Allen blurted out without hesitation.As the room full of heavy ten
After that night of intimacy between Jai and Dylan. No one knows about it. It was a secret. A secret that cannot be revealed.And today, it was the wedding of Jai and Andrew. The wedding ceremony is grand. All are cheering for the newlyweds couple. Jai started to throw her bouquet of flower and Dylan was the one who catch it.Jai smiled but it fades when Dylan give it to Beatrice. She felt so annoyed and irritated. Right after they had sex, she thought that they will get back together even if she was married. But it was wrong. It was not the plot twist of having sex with him last night.She was jealous of her. She was jealous of Beatrice. She thinks that she should be the only one that Dylan treat her like that."Congratulations to the newlyweds!" The visitors cheered for them.Andrew, on the other hand is not happy while seeing your his bride watching his ex-mate. He crumpled his fists but he didn't complain. He was just observing Jai beside him. He could see jealousy in her eyes and
Lucas arrived to the palace, his heart still heavy from the recent battle, and found Beatrice waiting for him, her eyes beaming with relief and fear.Before she could say anything, Lucas' gaze fell on her, his senses sharpened by the overwhelming aura of strength that engulfed her.He couldn't explain what he feels right now. From the battle, he won, and even when he gets home, he still won because half of his heart is waiting for him to come home.Lucas went to his knees before Beatrice, softly caressing her abdomen as he felt the flutter of life within her womb. Tears welled up in his eyes as he glanced up at her, his voice shaking with emotion."Beatrice, my love," Lucas whispered, his heart overflowing with joy and wonder. "You're pregnant. We're going to have a child, our child."Beatrice's eyes welled with tears as she nodded, her palm reaching out to caress Lucas' cheek. "Yes, Lucas," she said softly, her voice engulfed with emotion. "Our love has created new life, a miracle we
The tension between the Moonstone Pack and the Coyolles Pack had been simmering for months, fueled by greed and ambition. Lucas, now fully aware of the threat the Coyolles posed to his soon-to-be family, knew that he had to take decisive action to protect his pack and avenge those who had been wronged.Lucas gathered his forces at night, a determined glint in his eyes as he prepared for the battle that would decide the fate of their territory. As the first light of morning illuminated the sky in rose and platinum, the Moonstone warriors stood poised at the edge of Coyolles land, ready to face their foes.Lucas squared off against Alpha Leomord, the leader of the Coyolles Pack, a fearsome opponent whose thirst for power had no bounds. With Samara, Lucas' ex-fiance, who had done something terrible to Beatrice and his twins, he squared his shoulders and prepared for a battle of wills."Alpha Leomord," Lucas's voice rang out across the clearing, steady and unwavering. "Your greed has brou
As the morning sun poured its warm shine over the palace, Lucas struggled with a flood of emotions. Fabian's words lingered in his memory, soaking him with both disbelief and happiness.Could it really be? Were the twins, whom he got to care passionately for, his own flesh and blood? The thought itself sent shivers down.Lucas felt a sense of anticipation building as he moved closer to his expected meet with Fabian. He wanted confirmation, yet worried the significance of the knowledge that awaited him.As he reached the room where Fabian was waiting, his heart hammered in his chest and his breath caught in his throat."Alpha Lucas," Fabian said, his voice filled with a remarkable intensity that hinted at the seriousness of the news he brought. "I have news regarding the samples we tested. It's nothing short of miraculous."Lucas' heart sped up as he focused on Fabian's every word, his senses sharpened with excitement. "What news do you bring, Fabian? Please, tell me."Fabian's lips fo
Beatrice's POVI was busy looking for some fabrics in town when I feel his aura near me. I secretly smiled at the thought that he already recognized me. That he could sense my presence and as well as me.I left the twins in the house since Leo was there to play with them and Katie too. Katie and I catch up all throughout the week after the scandalous incident happens in the palace last week.We talked some stuffs and also we talked about Dylan. Upon learning that I don't love him, that it was just an infatuation, I moved on. I never felt pain in my chest. But wherever he was, I am happy for him.I know for sure that he could handle things in his own since he was back in his origin. What I've been through out the years is just a lesson for me to learn. For me to be a better wolf.While picking some fabrics, I was bumped into someone and his scent lingers to my nostril. I gulped as ou eyes met. It was Lucas, wearing his black cloak."Hey, there..." he approached me.I blinked my eyes. I
As Lucas secretly approached the twins and got their hair to do a paternal test, his Beta found a new information about Beatrice. He was extremely in a rush to meet with his Beta and to give the samples to Fabian to take a check on it when Princess Samara caught his arms, making him stop."Let's talk, Lucas," she said, with an authoritative tone.Lucas knitted his forehead. "I don't want to waste time to your fucking explanation, Samara. Get off me!" He growled at her coldly."And you have time to talk with that bitch?!" Now, Samara burst out. "I am your fucking fiance! Why are you ignoring me?!"Lucas scoffed and faced her with his usual expression. Cold and dangerous."You are not my fiance anymore," he announced. "From the day you made another mistake again, from what you have done to Beatrice the other week, you don't fit to be my bride!" He added with so much conviction.Samara's forehead creased with so much irritation and she could feel the pain pang in her chest. She doesn't w
Upon Lucas was about to return in his chamber, he saw a built of a man not far away from him. There, in a secluded spot of the garden, he noticed Leo talking quietly with the Master, their heads close together as they exchanged whispered words.Lucas felt a flash of suspicion and tension as he observed them, his thoughts racing with questions. What were they talking about, and why did it feel so secretive? And why would Leo, a trusted friend and ally, have a desire to speak with the Master about training royal blood children?But Lucas wasn't convinced; his instincts told him to go deeper, to discover the truth behind their private conversation. And as he watched them exchange more words, an idea of doubt began in his mind, giving doubt on what he believed he knew about the twins and their real identities.With a sense of unease in his heart, Lucas determined to unravel the mystery around the twins, to discover the truth about their abilities and role in the royal family. He realized
Beatrice sat in her house, what happened of the previous day still fresh in her thoughts. She played with her twins, putting on a brave face for them, despite the fact that her heart ached from everything that had happened.She couldn't stop herself from telling them what had happened, hoping to protect them from the awful facts of the world for just a moment. As she nourished her twins, Beatrice couldn't help but appreciate Leo's quick response. She truly thanked him for his assistance, knowing that she owed him a debt of appreciation that could never be paid in full return.Leo had already treated her wounds, his expert hands working skillfully to treat her external conditions. But the mental wounds remained deeper, and Beatrice knew they would take much longer to heal.Her thoughts were interrupted by Lucas' abrupt entrance at her door, his expression ashamed and sorrowful. He sincerely apologized for what had happened and expressed his regret for inflicting her suffering. Beatrice
Beatrice was quietly walking through the town because she was looking for fabrics to use to make dresses when she was suddenly surrounded by royal guards.Messing around, he was nervous but his brow furrowed when he was pushed by a royal guard and when he saw the women he fought with yesterday coming with a smile on their lips."What are you doing? Why are you arresting me?" She demanded an answer."Because you stole the precious thing belonging to princess Samara!" Her ex-companion replied.The people gasps with disbelief."Oh, you stole her belongings in the palace! Guards! Seize her and bring her into the palace," the girl said.The guards pushed her on the ground. She crumpled her fists and she was struggling when they started to cuffed her. She was being dragged into the palace. She was sweating and panting.Her expressions darken when she looked at her wrist full of blood now because the cuff they used to her has thorns. She could feel the pain but it won't hindrance her to defe
Before Beatrice walked away, Lucas held her wrist and they suddenly disappeared. As Beatrice and Lucas stood in the palace's quiet garden, surrounded by beautiful plants and scented blooms, an anxious silent remained between them.Lucas's eyes bore into Beatrice with a mix of interest and distrust, while Beatrice straightened her shoulders, bracing herself for the inevitable clash."Why are you here, Beatrice?" Lucas asked, his voice low and tinged with a hint of accusation. "Why have you appeared before me again, after all this time?"Beatrice smirked. "Don't be delusional, Lucas. I am not here for you. I just attended your engagement and I don't have any other intentions." She replied to him, firmly.His eyes squinted."Really?" his voice sounded something interesting.Beatrice met Lucas's gaze head-on, her expression resolute despite the turmoil churning inside her. "I'm not here for you, Lucas," she replied firmly, her voice steady. "I have my own reasons for being here, reasons t
