AliceEveryone stared at me like they had seen a ghost, and I could not help but furrow my brows in confusion. Zayn came closer, and took my hands in his as tears streamed down his face. It broke my heart to witness, and that is when he finally spoke up.“My love... You are carrying our baby. I do not want to lose you both due to you overworking yourself. Please my love... I need the both of you in my future, otherwise I do not know how I could keep going...” Salty tears streamed down his face, and I felt a slight pang in my heart. He looked so vulnerable, and that is when I offered him a reassuring smile.“I love you so much, and I promise that I will not overwork myself anymore. Had I known that I was pregnant, then I would not have pushed myself so far... I am so sorry baby.” I kissed his lips, and he eagerly responded, much to my liking.It was not until we heard someone clearing their throat, that I then realized there were still other people in the room with us. We broke the kis
ZaynThe day started off quite rough... After we finished the movies yesterday, we all went to our separate rooms and got ready for bed. This morning was quite rough for Alice, because she had morning sickness, and she practically ran to the bathroom still half asleep.Luckily, I woke up on time, and held her hair back as I rubbed her lower back to try and comfort her. We sat on that bathroom floor for a while before I picked her up and placed her back into the bed.“Do not worry my love, I will get you something to eat and drink. I will be right back, my love!” She nodded faintly, and it caused my heart to ache as I watched my mate contort in pain.I walked to the kitchen, and started preparing the usual breakfast that I always did, and I hoped that she would like it. I not only had to worry about my mate and Luna in our pack, but now I also had to worry about the little bundle of joy that was blooming inside of her.I would do anything for her, and I would do anything to keep both h
AliceRemember to always watch your back... Otherwise, what just happened to Ethan, might happen to you. I am talking about being grabbed from behind whilst trying to fight someone. Not only does it stop you dead in your tracks, but it also shifts your attention from one person to another, and the chances are that you are not going to win.Ethan was sparring against Wayne, and when he got cocky, Victor stepped up behind him. Ethan was now struggling against his grasp, and I have to say it is quite funny.“Hey, let me go! I have rights, you know!” I could not help but laugh at Ethan’s antics. He really knew how to put on a show, and I think that everyone would agree.“I told you to watch your back, furball. It is not my fault that you were too occupied and unaware to notice. Now we do it again!” Victor’s voice boomed as he yelled that last part out.We continued with our training, and it was starting to get late. Everyone was tired, and we were waiting for Ethan to finish up, then we c
AliceMy nerves were on edge after what had happened with Tristan, but I could not let that stop me from defeating him. He was arrogant and ignorant. He had no idea that we had been training to the best of our abilities, and we were going to defeat him.“I think we should take the fight to them. The trackers had picked up his scent, and it looked like he had gathered a few wolves to fight alongside him. So, I say we use the element of surprise to catch them off-guard.” Bryce stated his plan and everyone in the room looked at him with curiosity.“I think that is an excellent plan. If they have no idea that we are attacking them first, then we have the upper hand. They will not be expecting us, so we can take out most of them.” Zayn seemed to agree with Bryce, and I had to admit, it was a pretty good plan.“Where are they now? Do we have any idea where they might be hiding?” Kaitlyn stood up as she asked her question, and it seemed like she was nervous. Given her past, I was skeptical a
AliceWe made our way down towards the kitchen, and everyone seemed to be ready for the day. Had I known that they were making breakfast, then I would have been up earlier. It smelled amazing, and I could not wait to dig into it.The breakfast consisted of pancakes and syrup. There were also french-fries, and bacon, which made it even more delicious. I could tell that they had put a lot of effort into this, and they seemed just as proud of themselves as I was.“It looks amazing you guys! Thank you so much for the breakfast. What sparked the idea?” I smiled at them as I grabbed myself a plate.“Well... We decided we were hungry, and I was in the mood for some of the food here, so I decided we should just make some for everyone. I hope you enjoy it, because we have been here for the past two hours.” Haley let out a giggle, and I could tell that she did not mind cooking at all.It just occurred to me that we had a private chef, but we rarely even used him. I would eat Zayn’s cooking most
Tristan“Get me another glass of water!” The people in this camp were as good as useless. I can see why they were cast out of their packs. It did not matter to me what they had done, or what they had gone through to end up where they did. All that mattered to me at this point was the fact that I wanted that Alpha title, and I was not going to stop until I got what was rightfully mine.I was busy with planning an attack on my old pack that had forsaken me, when I noticed something strange. A lot of the wolves here were complaining about being sick, and not having enough food provided for them. I tried my best to meet their needs, but I gave up pretty quickly after realizing that if they were starving, then they would have gone hunting to get their own food.I cannot believe that Cole could leave the camp like he had. He left the camp that he built with his own hands, and he never came back. He ran off with my girl, and left me with the scraps that were left of his camp. I was going to m
Alice“This is what happens when you f*ck with me!” I was currently in the arms of Tristan, and he was holding a knife to my throat. How did we end up here, you might ask? Well...*A few hours earlier*“Hey guys, would you like to come live in our pack with us? I promise you will be way better off there, then you are here...” The guys looked at us curiously before agreeing, and hopping into the van.I think we are going to help a lot of these people today, and I could see how happy Zayn was to be helping them. So, I did what any good Luna would do for her Alpha, and I gave him a peck on the lips.“What was that for?” He gave me that sexy grin of his, and I could not help but smile back at him.“It is for being the best Alpha and mate that I could ever ask for.” His grin widened, and he picked me up before kissing me deeply, and slowly. He pulled away for a couple of seconds and gazed into my eyes.“Gosh you are perfect.” His smile never faded, and neither did mine. I blushed at his wo
Alice“You have no idea what you just did.” His words echoed in my mind, and I was tortured by that look on his face. I shot up from the comfort of my bed, and looked around the room as I broke out into a cold sweat. Oh... It was just a dream...“Are you alright, my love?” Zayn also sat up, and wiped the sleep from his eyes. He looked like he was still half asleep, and the sight of him calmed me down a bit.“I am fine my love... It was just a nightmare. There is no need to worry about little old me.” He raised a brow in confusion, before running his hands through my hair, and tucking a stray strand behind my ear.“Of course, I am always going to worry about you. You are my mate, and nothing is going to change that fact. I will always be worried about you, just like I will always protect you. Now come here, and let us get some sleep in, yeah?” He smirked as he opened up his arms, and I could not help but blush at his words.“Okay fine. You win this time, and thank you.” I gave him a ki
ZaynHours ticked by as we played the games and slowly got more intoxicated. Not much has changed in the last couple of years that have passed...I wish I could say that I had started to cope with the death of my mate, but I still missed her every day, and nothing was going to change that. With that being said, I found myself feeling a lot better than I had a couple of years ago, and Delilah has grown quite a bit.“Dadda! Look! Look!” She came running towards us with something enclosed in her hands, and I was nervous to discover what she was hiding.Children did not always come across the best of things, and once something catches their attention, they rarely let it go. She held out her little hands, and slowly opened them to reveal a white lunar moth. It sat still in her hands, and I was amazed by the intricate designs on its wings.It was truly a sight to behold, and she had grown up to look just like her mother did when we were all a little younger.“It looks very pretty sweetheart
Haley Everything does not always go according to plan, it seems, because here I was, taking care of the kids. Zayn had come in after spending the day with his little ray of sunshine, and he left her with me. All the guys went out to go and get a couple of stuff from the stores, whilst the rest of us stayed to babysit.It honestly sounded fair, and I could not exactly complain about the current circumstances, although I would have liked to spend just one evening relaxing. The kids have been keeping us up all night every night, and little Delilah keeps screaming for her bottle every ten minutes, so, I made sure that all of them tired themselves out, and were rushed to bed.Thankfully, they did not resist as I ushered them upstairs to their room. We walked in, and they immediately headed towards their beds, which I was even more thankful for. After tucking them in, I made my way to Delilah’s room, and placed her in the crib.“Good night little one.” I smiled as I whispered good night, a
HaleyPulling out weeds and trimming vines was tasking to say the least. I was dirty and sweaty, and I now knew why she spent so much time in here...With that being said, I finally finished after a couple of hours, and the garden looked almost barren in contrast to its original overgrown state. I found that poetic. I got up with a soft grunt, and made my way to the backdoor of the pack house. I looked back towards the garden to admire my work, and I knew that Alice would have been proud.I took off all the dirty gardening gear that I had on, and put it aside for now, whilst I made my way to the shower. I just could not stand feeling that dirty. I know, ironic, isn’t it? A werewolf that does not like to be dirty. What a joke.I got into the shower, and made sure to wash any and all pieces of dirt that had accumulated on my body throughout the day. After a few minutes of scrubbing, I finally turned off the water, and as soon as I stepped out of the shower, I instantly felt like a new p
ZaynI woke up to the sound of birds chirping, and I was met with a face full of sunlight blinding me through my closed eyelids. I think I drank too much last night, because all I can remember was how I started, and as things stood now, I did not even know where I was currently lying down, but I had to get up. So, I guess we were about to find out.I turned around, so the sunlight did not hit my face, and I slowly opened my eyes. I rubbed the sleep out of them, trying to recall last night’s events, because I had a massive headache pounding away at my skull, which probably meant that I was hungover. I forced myself to get up, and realized that I had passed out on the couch.Well... I suppose there are worse places that I could have woken up in, like the bathroom, or somewhere on the floor. I stretched, and the headache worsened, much to my dismay. I suppose I should go get coffee and start my morning. The walk to the kitchen was rather short, and I soon found myself facing the coffee m
ZaynI am not going to lie, this was a massive surprise, and I did not expect them to remember, or to even care about my birthday. It looks like they proved me wrong, because I did not even remember my own birthday, so to say I was surprised would be an understatement.With that being said, the place was beautifully decorated, and the appetizers were delicious. You can tell that they put a lot of work into all of this, and I was really grateful for everything that they had done for me so far. They were really great friends, and I appreciated every little thing that they did for me.We chatted, and enjoyed each other’s company for the rest of the night, and eventually the time came for us to open the presents. I smiled as Haley and Bryce handed me theirs, and I was very curious to see what they had gotten me. As I unwrapped the package, I could see that they had gotten me an album filled with photos of what I assumed were sentimental memories, as well as a new phone, and a couple of sw
HaleyKaitlyn and I were busy setting up the decorations while Cole was busy arranging the snacks, and Bryce was keeping Zayn busy. It was all starting to come together, and I was actually impressed by how everything had turned out so far.“I think it looks good, what about you?” Kaitlyn finished putting up some of the lights, as she hopped off of the ladder, and walked closer to where I was standing. She turned to face the lights, and inspect them as she slowly nodded to show her approval.“Yeah! I think it looks great. Let’s go see what Cole is up to, and how far he has come with the food preparations.” I nodded in response to her suggestion, and we made our way to the kitchen where we found Cole helping out with the plating of the food.He looked like he enjoyed it, and we decided to leave him to it whilst we made our way back to the living room. I suppose we have to check in with Bryce as well, seeing as we need to know how much time we have left. We were almost done anyway.“Hey
Bryce“Do you really think that he forgot about what today is?” I asked Haley, knowing that she would most likely be able to confirm our suspicions.“I believe so, I mean usually he would be excited, and he would force everyone to tell him happy birthday, but he seemed out of it today.” Haley explained, and just as I was about to answer her, Kaitlyn made her way into the kitchen.“What are we talking about so secretly?” She smiled softly. She looks a lot different than she had before the death of Alice. It could be that she has finally matured mentally. She could also be trying her best to stay afloat, and not get dragged down into the deep, dark hole known as depression.Whatever the case, her whole demeanour changed, and she acts like a completely new person because of it.“We were just discussing the fact that it is a certain someone’s birthday, and he seems that he has forgotten. Either that, or he willfully chose not to celebrate his birthday this year.” Kaitlyn nodded, before si
ZaynWe arrived at the pack, and I could not wait to get this over with. I was not looking forward to discussing a peace treaty, and I definitely was not in the mood to negotiate certain terms. These people couldn't care less about the fact that I had lost my Luna, and the funny thing is, that I know, once it happens to them, they will be seeking comfort in those they had no compassion for.With that being said, we were greeted by the guards of the pack, and we were escorted to meet with Jace, the Alpha of the Crimson Fangs. We were told to wait in what looked to be a dining room, and there were various foods prepared to eat, not that I was particularly interested in eating right now.“Welcome! I had no idea you guys were going to come this quickly. How have things been lately?” Jace knew exactly how I was doing, and I wanted to punch him in the face, but I refrained from doing so, seeing as that would not be a wise thing to do. We were in his territory after all.“Things have been go
ZaynAfter the funeral, everyone in the pack’s moods seemed to have dulled, and who could blame them? I mean... there’s not much you can do except mourn the person that has departed from your life. No longer having Alice here really did make that much of a difference, and the people missed her greatly.I wish there was more we could do, but it seems that we have done all that we can for now. Everyone went back to their respective homes and businesses, whilst I sat in front of her grave.I do not know how long I had spent trying to make sense of it all, and I do not know how long I sat at her grave, but it must have been a while, because nightfall was quickly approaching, and I was still sitting here. Motionless, empty, and for once in my life, I was at a loss for words.I sighed, and with a hole in my chest, I made my way back to the pack house, and made my way to bed. Today was tiring and emotionally draining, and I did not have the energy to fight with anyone. I also did not have th
