WHITNEY'S POV I suddenly became anxious and took a deep breath as I tried to calm down. What sort of trouble could Martin be talking about? My mind drifted to Mom and Dad and fear gripped my heart. I hope nothing has happened to them. I must say that it was recently I gave Martin my phone number after refusing to give him all these years. I eventually gave him my phone number after so much pleas from him and my parents. That was why he was able to call me on the phone. "Martin, what do you mean by there is trouble? I hope Dad and Mom are okay," I said. "Yes, they are okay. It is not about them," he said as I heaved a sigh of relief. "If it's not about them, then, who is it about?" I asked. "It's about you," he said bluntly. "About me?" I asked with surprise. "Yes." "I have not been to Montgomery for over six years and I have been living in Nashville ever since then, so, how could anything happening there possibly concern me?" I asked with curiosity. "Before I answer
WHITNEY'S POV "Whiney, are you there?" Martin asked as I was trembling with rage. I took a deep breath as I tried to calm my nerves. "Yes, Martin," I replied. "Okay. I know you must be furious now but you brought this upon yourself cos if you had not divulged the secret to Janet, Luther and his family would have still not known that you didn't abort the pregnancy let alone know that you gave birth to Jason," Martin said with anger. "Martin, words can't describe the rage I feel right now. How could Janet betray me after promising me that she would keep the secret?" I said with eyes blazing in anger. "Whitney, to be honest, I don't blame Janet, it is you I blame. Janet was your best friend and I believe you know her character better than anyone. Everyone in the pack knows she is cunning, deceitful, treacherous, promiscuous and a liar. She had numerous vices. You knew all these as well, yet she is the one you chose as your best friend. Now she has revealed the secret you have su
WHITNEY'S POV After some seconds of fuming in anger, I took a deep breath as I tried to calm my nerves. I told Martin to stop talking about Luther and he changed the subject. He started telling me about the latest news in Shadow Pack and told me what is happening in the lives of some of my friends and people I know in the pack. "Martin, I must say that I really miss my old friends in Shadow Pack and all my colleagues we worked together for years in Luther's father's house. I can't believe it's been over six years since I last saw them," I said as I recall some of the moments I shared with them. "Your colleagues here in Luther's father's house always tell me how much they miss you as well as your old friends in the pack. They always tell me that they will like to see you and ask when you will come to Montgomery. I usually tell them I have no idea and that I will let them know as soon as you tell me," he said. "Wow...good to know they also miss me," I said cheerfully. "Whitney,
WHITNEY'S POV I gazed at Alpha Veron as he was trembling with rage. "My Luna, I can't believe that fucking Luther wants to come to Nashville to lay claim to my son after six years. I remember all that you told me that he and his family did to you and they were hell-bent that you must abort the pregnancy which made you run from Montgomery and come to Nashville. I recall how miserable and dejected you looked when I saw you sleeping under the tree in front of my house the first time I saw you," he paused to catch his breath. "Anything could have happened to you sleeping by the roadside. You could have been raped, abducted, or even killed. When I saw you that morning, I was shocked and quickly walked up to you. I was even more shocked when I realized that you were a teenager and after you told me your situation, I decided to help you and employed you as my maid..." he paused as I cut in. "I remember that day, it was just like yesterday. I will be forever grateful that you came to my
LUTHER'S POV The time was a quarter after six in the evening. I was sitting on my bed in my room and packing the suitcase I want to use to travel to Nashville tomorrow. The things I was taking with me were in a pile on the bed. They include some casual clothes, two shoes, a shaving kit, toiletries, a wallet containing cash and my credit card, two fully loaded pistols, and five cartridges. It is now two weeks since my mother and sister came to my room to tell me about their silly dreams thinking it would scare me and make me change my mind about going to Nashville to take my son from Whitney. As I was folding my clothes and putting the items in the suitcase, I paused as my mind drifted to what happened in the past couple of weeks. I had planned to stay in a hotel when I get to Nashville but Rico cajoled me to stay in his place and not waste my money on a hotel. Another reason he gave was that I need to stay in his place because I may not be able to take my son by myself withou
LUTHER'S POV "Henry, did you just say you will not leave my room?" I asked with disbelief. "Yes, you heard me right! I will only leave when I am done talking to you and you have to listen to me!" he bellowed. "How dare you talk to me like that? So you have the nerve to come to my room and tell me to my face that you will not leave?" I asked with an incredulous expression. "I repeat, I won't leave until you listen to me!" he said angrily. "That you are my brother doesn't give you the right to disobey me! I am your alpha and I can punish you for disobeying me!" I roared. "Yes, I know you have the power to punish me but only when I do something wrong. In this situation, I am not doing anything wrong. I just asked you if the news I heard about you traveling to Nashville is true and you flared up. All I want is a fucking answer from you!" he spat. I was silent for a moment as I glared at me. I found it hard to believe that my younger brother had the temerity to be asking me
WHITNEY'S POV Alpha Vicker gave me leave from work for two months the following week after the two of us planned what to do to protect our kids from Luther. It was the month of June and coincidentally, the kids who had just finished their exams were on a school break for ten weeks. I was happy cos now that the kids are at home and I'm on leave from work, I will be able to protect them better. The following morning after I started my leave, I was sleeping on the bed when Alpha Vicker woke me up and told me that he was going to the pack to have a meeting with his strongest warriors. He said he will select six among them that will come to the house to protect the kids. After kissing me lightly on the lips, he left the room. I felt so grateful to have him in my life. A smile spread across my face as I stared at the ceiling. I must say that many times when I'm alone, I sometimes imagine how my life would have been without him which always make me shudder in trepidation. It is
WHITNEY'S POV After I have had breakfast, I lay on the bed and was reading an entertainment magazine. I was wearing a yellow blouse and a flared skirt. Shortly after, Jason and Shawn came to my room carrying a box full of their numerous toys. They walked up to me and Jason asked if they could play in my room. I replied in the affirmative and he and Shawn yelled with excitement. They sat on the floor and started removing the toys from the box and putting them on the floor. After they had emptied the box, they started playing with the toys. From time to time, I raised my head from the magazine and looked at them and a warm smile would spread across my face. After a couple of hours, my kids told me that they are hungry. I glanced at the time. The time was 12:45 pm. I told them to put the toys in the box and go and meet their nanny to give them food. They quickly put the toys back in the box and left the room. I decided to go
