SKYLAR'S P.O.V I sat on the single couch with my legs crossed, I was engrossed in a book, when the door creaked open. Startled, I looked up to see Roselle entering her room."Skylar," she began, "Mrs. Kate has requested to see you. She is in the meeting hall."I furrowed my brows. "Why does she want to see me? Any idea?"She shook her head. "I have no clue. She's in the meeting hall with some elders, particularly those supporting Jennifer as the next Luna."Skylar sighed, not entirely surprised. "Of course, just when Denver's away on a trip, she is definitely going to stir things up. Alright," I said, closing the book I was holding. "Let's get going."I stood before Mrs. Kate and the elders, their disdainful stares sending shivers down my spine. Every glance seemed to speak volumes of their disappointment and disapproval. I swallowed my nerves."Is there something I have done?" I asked, attempting to know why the sudden call.Mrs. Kate's expression remained stern as she looked at me
DENVER'S P.O.VI sat in my office, diligently working on the pack's reports. The room was filled with the soft hum of the air conditioner and the faint rustling of papers. As I meticulously reviewed the numbers and data, a sudden thought struck me. "Jennifer." I muttered the name under my breath, my eyes darted around the room, like I was searching for her presence.Realizing I couldn't ignore the thought that had captivated my mind, I stood up from my desk. It was as if I had suddenly remembered an important task that needed my attention. More like the sudden that I had left something important at the store. Without hesitation, I made my way out of my office and toward Jennifer's room. As I approached her door, I gently knocked. I could hear her approaching footsteps with her voice which accompanied. "Who is there?" A smile crossed my face, as I could feel nothing but the sweet scent of her pawpaw cream and the intoxicating scent of her strawberry perfume. As she opened the door,
SKYLAR'S P.O.V I slowly opened my eyes, my body still heavy with sleep. The soft rays of the sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow to the room. I blinked away the remnants of dreams, just then, I realized I was alone in bed.Panic gripped me for a moment as I recalled waiting for Denver the previous night, only to end up sleeping in the process. I was so worried, could it be that he fell asleep in his office? Or did he wake up earlier than usual?I was deep in thought. I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and slipped into my slippers, determined to find him. Just then, Roselle walked in with a tray of food."Good morning, Your highness. I brought you breakfast," She greeted, setting the tray on the bedside table.I smiled, sensing how formal she wanted to be. "Come on, Rose, you don't expect me to tell you that that stuff doesn't work for me.""Oh please, M'lady, I'm only doing my job."I rolled my eyes playfully. "You're gonna get tired along the line, trust me.
SKYLAR'S P.O.VI barged into his office not minding knocking. He looked up at me from his laptop screen, an evil smirk creased on his face as he stared bluntly at me, feeling less guilty for what he's done.“Hey, Skylar, I wasn't expecting you to come.” He said, gently slamming his laptop close.“Was expecting to come here either. Where were you last night?” I know I shouldn't raise my voice at him, but I just couldn't help it.To know that he had spend the whole night fucking her was the most painful part of it all, not to talk of the fact that she proudly proclaimed already that she'd be carrying his child soon.I almost felt like slapping his face, but God knows I can't do that while he is sitting down. Even in my state of anger, he idiotically found it funny to laugh at.“What's funny, huh? I fucking asked you a question, Denver, you should give me a god-damn explanation!” I yelled.“An explanation, I see.” He nodded his head. “But before I give you your so-called explanation, I'd
SKYLAR'S P.O.V“Under a spell? How is that even possible?”“I have no idea,” I sighed again. “He was perfectly fine last night, all of a sudden he is acting differently.”“So, what do you want me to do?”“I don't know how busy you are, but if there is any way you can squeeze out time to come over, I'd be glad.”“You don't have to worry, Citrus and I will head over to Moon Night pack in an hour or two. Just hang on, and try not to do anything stupid. Okay?”I nodded. “Okay.” He ended the call.“What did he say?” Doctor James asked.“He'll be here soon.” I sighed in relief. “We just have to wait a little longer.”Suddenly, the door barged open. Roselle and Diva rushed in, they were breathing so heavily that it took them so much effort to talk.“We know we'd find you here.” Diva breathed.“Skylar. Doctor James. We have a big problem.” Roselle said with a force.“A very big one.” Diva added.“What's going on?” I asked, glaring at both of them. “Talk to me, what's going on?”“It's the Alph
SKYLAR'S P.O.V“Skylar, someone is here to see you.” Roselle informed.“Let him in.”She opened the door for them to come in. Bowing her head, she left us alone.“How was it?” I asked.Dimitri shook his head. “Denver's case isn't a minor one, I think the spell isn't just any spell–”“It's magic.” Citrus raised an eyebrow. “Just as I thought.”“I don't know what to do, guys, and I don't think I can stay the rest of the week without him.”Dimitri walked up to me, holding my hands. “You aren't alone in this, that's why you have us.” He reassured me.“I know, and I don't doubt that. I just –” I lowered my head. “I feel incomplete and hurt knowing that someone else was sharing my mate with me.” I cried.“I know Denver, he wouldn't have done this if he was in his rightful sense. He wouldn't have betrayed his love for you just for a woman. I see the way he looks at you, Skylar, Denver loves you so much.”“How about we kill her?” I suggested.He raised an eyebrow at me. “You aren't expecting
SKYLAR'S P.O.VAfter speaking with Dimitri last night, I couldn't get myself to sleep. I was curious, terrified and I couldn't explain my fears. What if I eventually tried it and then it didn't work out?Well that's not the most terrifying part, I feel like he's gonna slap the hell off my face if I try to kiss him.By the way, who the hell brought that idea? That definitely feels like a fantasy folktale movie.I laid on the bed. I was missing Denver's presence, how sensational his hands felt when he cuddled me to himself. I was also missing the late night conversations, and how dramatic he plays with our baby.Now, it's just me alone on this god-damn king-size bed, and I feel nothing but loneliness calling me. I sighed.I didn't realize when I drove off to sleep, but it didn't last though. My eyes opened, and just then sleep was far away from me. Maybe that's because even in my Dreamland, I couldn't get over the fact that Denver will be getting married to Jennifer today.I knew I had
DENVER'S P.O.VI was leaving for my office to spend the night there since I couldn't get over the shame I felt. It had been a long day discussing with Dimitri and Citrus. All thanks to them for sticking by my side, who knows how things would have ended up with me and Jennifer.I wasn't trying to avoid Skylar for any reason, I was only concerned that she'll definitely hate me after what happened. I can't tell what she feels right now, it was a lot difficult to read her mind and expression.Lately, I've been finding it quite impossible to read through her mind, everything seems a bit difficult to tell about her. When I thought I had penetrated in, I realized I only got an ice bug of what I had expected.Well, that's something I need to consider some other time. “Where are you going?” She asked sleepily. I didn't know she noticed I was leaving.“I just wanna check something in my office, I'll be back.” I lied.“Don't go. I don't want you to go.” She mumbled. “I want to feel you beside m
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
