SKYLAR'S P.O.VI woke up, but felt heavy as I tried to sit up. I looked down to see Denver's head on my stomach. I thought he was sleeping, so I touched his face, calling his name.“Denver?” I was so pressed, so I wanted him to adjust so I could make use of the toilet before I pissed on the bed. But he shushed me.“Shh-shh.”So he wasn't even asleep?“What are you doing?” I asked.“I'm listening.” He whispered.What could he be listening to? I thought within myself. “Listening to what?” I chuckled, forcing my eyes as I looked down at him.“I'm listening to our baby.” he said with all seriousness in his voice.“What?”“He's talking to me. No, I mean we are talking.” I laughed. How is that even possible? “Keep quiet, Skylar, we aren't done yet.”Is that a joke? Or is he for real that he was talking with our child? Well, there's nothing impossible for wolves, it could be possible. Who knows?“How do you guys get to talk to each other? The last time I checked, babies don't talk inside t
SKYLAR'S P.O.VI couldn't stay in my room to act like nothing wasn't happening. I was at the point of leaving the room where the case was held when Beta Mark came to call me.“The Alpha King sent me to bring you.” he said and I followed him without wasting a second thought.“Will everything be alright?” I asked him, breaking the silence that hung between us.“We aren't sure yet, Miss Richardson. To be frank with you, I myself have no idea where this is going to go, but I believe in Denver's judgment. I trust what he can do.”We reached the meeting hall. From the outside I could hear their voices. The case wasn't a minor one as I thought. It was looking like Denver had no authority anymore. The way they queried him, asked him questions, it even got to a point he said nothing but watch them argue among themselves.“She is just a slave, and that is what we all know. There shouldn't be any change, after all we were convinced by the way His Majesty treated Miss Jennifer that they were goin
JENNIFER'S P.O.VI cursed under my breath as I paced to and fro my room. I couldn't believe Denver had changed to this extent, it was no longer a surprising thing but I still felt surprised.Whenever I imagine those moments we both shared, how he sweet tongued me that his heart belonged to no other woman but me. He even did things for me that gave me a million reasons to believe him.All of a sudden, that same man changed in a blink of an eye. I can't even tell how it all happened, I can't believe it happened because of Skylar drowning in that water or because of the fact that she was carrying his child.It was simply because they were fated mates that was why he couldn't let go even with the sweet tongue. It pained me to watch him show such love and care for her. Just when I was hoping this case would lead to the best part, Denver always knows how to die off cases so easily. Just the same way he dies off cases about Skylar whenever I complained to him about her.It's been obviously
SKYLAR'S POVWHAT IF Doctor James was right? What if I'm only overthinking? What if these are nothing but what my fears and anxiety wanted from me, what if this is what Jennifer and Mrs Kate wants?I need to get over with all these thoughts and focus on what lies ahead. I should be supportive of Denver and not grow doubts of our love for each other.He's been saying it over and over again that he loves and cherishes no one else but me. I think it's time I start trusting those words.It was quite difficult for me to wave the thoughts off, so I asked Roselle to take a walk with me. “I hope I'm not disturbing you?” I asked, knowing she hated it when I asked such questions.“Skylar, you know I wouldn't consider your attention as a disturbance. And besides, I'm not just your maid, I'm your friend, so it's my obligation to see that your needs are granted.”“I just feel like I'm trying to use my personal reasons to bother you.” I looked at her, “But it's alright, it's cool having a walk wit
SKYLAR'S P.O.VWE got to the pack house after a long and successful shopping trip with Roselle. I was exhausted, but I wanted to inform Denver that I was back.I went to meet him in his office, knowing that would be the only place he could be at the moment. I offered a knock on the door, “Come in.” He permitted.Slowly, I pushed the door open, my eyes widened in surprise to see Dimitri and his friend with Denver. I almost wanted to rush out of the room to avoid seeing Dimitri, staring at him alone did a lot in just a split second.“I'll just come back later.” I turned to leave when Denver's voice stopped me.“Why don't you say hello to my friends before you leave?”I mentally caused Denver to even think about that. Here I am, trying to avoid my heart from aching, and he was only making things worse than they should be.I forced myself to smile, shutting the door behind me. I went to greet them. Standing before Dimitri's friend, I stretched out my hand for a handshake.He looked at me,
JENNIFER'S P.O.VI couldn't wait any longer to accomplish my plan. I didn't tell aunt Kate of my agenda, I only told her that I wanted to have a moment alone, and probably think through everything that has happened.If I have to tell her a shit about it, then everything would be ruined. Aunt Kate and I might be the closest thing you can ever imagine, but in cases like this… I don't think the closeness matters.She felt sad for me though, acknowledging that I needed the moment so much. “I know things turned out unexpectedly, but there comes a time when we can't do anything about it. You need this more than anyone.”She hugged me. I forced myself not to cry, pushing back the tears that clouded my eyes. This I was about to do wasn't my intention, but I can't help it seeing Denver growing intimate with her every single day.I already called a friend who told me where I could meet this local doctor. He was more like a wizard, but used local drugs to cover up. I boarded a taxi which drove m
SKYLAR'S P.O.VI was bored of sitting on the bed, and I wanted to keep myself busy, so I started pacing to and fro the room, my fingers busily running through the screen of my phone.I was watching some Instagram reels that were actually making my day. I would smile at some videos, and probably frown at some. Suddenly, I felt pain on one side of my head. I paused for a moment, but the pain left as soon as it came. I continued watching the funny videos when the pain came again, but left almost immediately.I decided to ignore it even if it came again, but when it came, it was severe and I couldn't hold it back. The phone dropped to the ground, and I didn't mind if it broke or not.I was experiencing something worse and complicated, and I wasn't in the mood to care about anything else but my current situation. I groaned painfully, holding my head with both hands.“Fuck!” I cursed, dragging my legs to get myself to sit on the bed. My legs instantly grew weak, I could barely make a step.
SKYLAR'S P.O.VI decided to go to Jennifer's room which used to be Denver's room. I was going to confront her, I really need to talk to her. I need to warn her to stay away from Denver.Every second that passes by, I get more worried and bothered about my dream. For it to replay itself for the second time didn't feel like a dream but a warning to me.Thankfully, Denver wasn't in the room, nor was Roselle around to stop me from doing what I intended to do.I offered a knock on the door. The way she rushed to reply to my knock was as if she was already expecting someone. “Denver, is that you?”My heart flew, could it be…?When she opened the door, she looked disappointed to see me. She almost slammed the door on my face, but I wedged the door with my hand. “At least, you should let me in.” I said, and she rolled her eyes at me.“What do you want, Skylar? To laugh at me or what?” She queried.“I haven't come for any of that. I'm just here to say a few things to you.” I looked at both si
DENVER’S POVA year later…“What are you going to decide on?” Skylar asked as she laid in my arms. Twas the night before an official meeting with Jennifer and her lawyer. For days, I had been thinking about what to do and if I would leave the baby with Jennifer.“Do you think she is capable of taking care of a baby?” I asked with a disturbed look. Over the one year that had passed, I had come to grow fond of the baby and I was very concerned about her well-being.“Are you worried about Jennifer’s morals? You shouldn’t judge her with what happened in the past.” Skylar said with a meek tone, as she had also come to like the baby and she had no more problems with Jennifer at all.“I can’t help but be worried, Skylar. But then, it all depends on what she wants.” I replied, telling myself not to think too much about it. That night, I slept peacefully in my mate’s arms, knowing that Jennifer would finally leave us but then I wished she could leave without the baby.__“Welcome, Alpha!” The
DENVER’S POV“What did you say?” I asked with a look of disbelief. At first, I was shocked to hear what the doctor said but then, I thought I was hearing things. Maybe the doctor was mistaken instead.“I said, you have to bite her.” He repeated and this time, I was sure I heard him right. “I know this is absurd but then, this is the only way to save her else she is going to die. I know you wouldn’t want that.” The doctor continued to say but my mind was filled with different thoughts.What if she could really die? That would be a relief but then I would be faulted for not saving her when there was a way. However, biting someone of her kind was a bit risky. Things could go south and she could really die. Not all blood can accept a wolf’s bite and not just any wolf, an Alpha wolf at that.“We have little time left, Alpha.” The doctor reminded me and I sighed. This was a 50% chance thing and I wouldn’t want her lawyer raining lawsuits on me if she eventually dies.“Let’s do it.” I said,
DENVER’S POVNine months later…My head throbbed as I went through several paperwork. Being the Alpha came with several responsibilities and sometimes I would wish to push them toward my Beta or anyone else available to do the job.It had been nine months since Jennifer came into my home and I was glad that she didn’t cause any trouble with Skylar and me.“Alpha…” A voice called out from behind the door and I raised my brows in wonder at who it was. I had asked not to be disturbed and I was prepared to punish whoever was at the door.“Come in…” I said, ready to growl at the person. As soon as the person walked in, he turned out to be one of the guards and as I was about to chastise him, he spoke quickly.“Alpha! Lady Jennifer is in labor! We need to rush her to the hospital and there is no one available to do that.” The guard said quickly and immediately shot up to my feet in shock. It had been nine months but then I didn’t even know when was her due date. It definitely wasn’t like th
JENNIFER’S POVIt seemed my night had been going on for longer than I could imagine. My heart was heavy and as I sat upright on my bed, I looked like I had gone into a world war. After the meeting with Denver and Skylar, I had been so restless and I wondered what decision they would come to.I knew that Skylar would definitely not want me to come into her home and I kind of hated that fact. It sounded selfish to want to go into her home but I needed to think about myself before anything else.As I continued to mull over the issue, I heard my phone ring and immediately, I jolted out of my thoughts. Deep down, I hoped it was the call I wanted and as I picked up the phone and saw that it was the lawyer calling, I froze for a moment. My heartbeat sped up as I knew that Denver and Skylar had definitely concluded.What would it be? Would I be damned and neglected? I hope not! With shaky hands, I connected the call, breathing heavily, hoping for a piece of good news.“Hello, good morning, la
SKYLAR’S POV“And what if I want to let things slide? Are you going to force me to acknowledge her pregnancy?” Denver spoke immediately. He was obviously annoyed by the lawyer’s guts. His anger started to rise and before I knew what was happening, he was already exerting his Alpha’s energy on the fragile lawyer.“I… I…” The lawyer stuttered as a drop of sweat trickled down his face. Jennifer took a step back and hit behind the lawyer, seeing how angry and irritated Denver was. I stood back, torn between stopping Denver or just letting him continue to exert pressure on the lawyer and Jennifer.“I just want us to settle this amicably… you don’t have to harm us.” The lawyer was quick to say as Jennifer nudged him from behind to do something.“Then you should know your place!” Denver said with so much authority! As I looked at him, I knew that his Alpha wolf wouldn’t want anybody to stand up fiercely to him, especially not Jennifer and her lawyer.“That’s enough, Denver.” I mind-linked hi
SKYLAR’S POVWalking toward the garden hand in hand with Diego, my head was downcast as he played on the sidewalks. His countenance was a stark contrast to mine. My face looked pale and different thoughts went through my mind.Looking at Diego, who was growing up happily with his father, I started to think that I was doing something wrong toward an unborn child who deserved love.“Mummy, are you okay?” Diego suddenly stopped to look at me and I was a bit startled. However, I was quick to put a smile on my face.“Yes, I’m okay. Why do you ask?” I asked with raised brows. He looked really serious and I wondered if he knew what was going on, especially with what happened yesterday with Jennifer. He might have gotten wind of the brawl between me and Jennifer.“Nothing. You have just been moody. I just want you to be alright.” He replied and my smile broadened. I was blessed to have such a son but then I started to wonder if he would be like that without a father figure there to correct h
SKYLAR'S P.O.V I kept walking back and forth in the living room, I was just so upset, and I wouldn't mind strangling her neck right this moment. I just hated the fact that she was here in the first place. I hate that I am looking at her face, I hate that she was carrying my husband's child.What does she want? To take Denver away from me again? To claim herself as the next Luna or what? Or is she trying to share Denver with me in order to become his concubine?No. Fucking. Way! No fucking way am I going to sit and watch that happen. No one is taking my place, no one is taking Diego's place either."Now you listen to me," I said, pointing at her. "You don't have to meet with Denver, and for no reason will you meet with him. What happened between you two was a mistake, it was the past and not love. I won't let him change his mind about you."She shook her head, looking less concerned. "I can't do anything about it, Skylar. As long as Denver is responsible for the child...""No, you're
SKYLAR'S P.O.VI've tried forcing myself to sleep but nature was just so distant from me. I have never felt this distant from Denver before, and it was eating me, weighing me down that we had to go to bed without the normal nice night chat.I decided to bury my pride and wake him up. Surprisingly, he wasn't sleeping either. That makes us even. “Denver.” I called, but he ignored me. “Denver, I can't sleep and I know you can't sleep as well. Maybe, we should talk about it and…”He didn't let me finish, he cut in. “It's not necessary anymore.”“Well, it is to me. We can't keep acting like everything is fine.”“Of course everything is fine. Everything was perfectly fine until you decided to listen to her over me. I am your husband, Sky, your mate, so if there is anyone to trust the most then it is me.”“I know.” I said, regrets clouded me.“But what happened last night didn't show that you trust me. You let her words take over you. I don't know, but I can't help but wonder if you even lo
SKYLAR'S P.O.VIT was two days after the war between the Moon Night Pack and the Red Lotus. The atmosphere seemed normal as there was no one to threaten us, and for these two days I have been able to get a good night's sleep without the weird dreams and visions.Denver on the other hand, claimed the Red Lotus pack, renaming it to the White Wolf pack where he had shifted the white wolves to reside with the remnants of the Red Lotus. Then he merged both packs as one.Things have been going pretty good. With what happened, Denver was able to get recognition from the wolf authorities. Just yesterday, the Moon Night Pack was, however, regarded as one of the greatest wolf kingdoms.Today, Denver has decided to throw a feast in appreciation, inviting all wolves from various packs. Diego on the other hand, won't stop reminding me of the shopping I had promised him."Fine. We're going shopping today."He was so excited. I took his bath,then mine and we both dressed up, ready to go when Denver
