SKYLAR'S P.O.V It was finally the day of the Ceremony. Spending the night alone had been harder than I'd expected. It was said that the groom can't see the bride before the day of their wedding. This was not a normal wedding, but it was likely the only one I would get. The trees were a perfect green and sparkled with leftover dew from that morning. A perfect June day. A song ran through my mind making me smile.Finally Denver has concluded to let aside procrastination, and take the chance to marry me before more of what happened two days ago would repeat itself. Though he would give me this thoughtful look, most times I ask myself why he was looking at me like that.That's by the way, it's my wedding day today. I shouldn't be thinking about anything else but standing with Denver before the crowd and saying our vows and promises. I smiled again.Of course, a genuine wedding was in order to show the people who their new Queen truly was, despite my nervousness to appear as their Queen
SKYLAR'S P.O.V“You shouldn't be here.” I fumed. “How the hell did you even know I am getting married?”“I invited him.” Denver said and I turned to look at him. “He deserves to see his daughter get married.”“He doesn't deserve to watch me get married, Denver. This man shouldn't even be considered as a father!” I yelled.“Skylar, you need to calm down. You don't have to ruin your day because of him.” Denver tried to calm me down.“Looking at his face has already ruined my day already. He shouldn't be here! You shouldn't have invited him to this place!”“Skylar…” Denver held me,“Skylar, sweetheart…” he tried to talk but I interrupted.“Don’t you ever call me that! How the fuck are you still breathing? After selling off your own daughter, now you expect I smile at you? Because I miss my loving father? Fuck you.” I gave him a middle finger.I walked out of his. I would only get more angry than I already am if I have to stay there any longer, and I wouldn't want anyone to ruin my day.I
SKYLAR'S P.O.VI awoke that morning, feeling a heavy weight of exhaustion settle over my body. Every limb seemed to protest against the idea of getting out of bed. However, amidst the weariness, I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of happiness that filled me. So many reasons contributed to my happiness. Firstly, the fact that I was no longer just Denver's fiancée, but his wife. The vows they had exchanged, the commitment to spend our lives together, filled my heart with an indescribable joy. Additionally, I was relieved that everyone had finally accepted me as the Luna, even though perhaps their acceptance was not entirely from the depth of their hearts.But above all, I was most excited about my improved relationship with my father. It had taken time and effort, but we had finally come to good terms, and that even made my night. Now that he is with me, I feel closer and more secure. A feeling that relished me as I laid on my bed, taking in the soft morning light filteri
SKYLAR'S P.O.V"You have to try and eat something." Denver persuaded me."Denver, I don't know but I don't feel hungry. I've lost the appetite to eat anything.""Did you eat anything this afternoon?" He asked and I shook my head. "Come on, Skylar, if not for anyone, but for the child. I don't want my child to look skinny.""Don't worry, I'll be fine. And besides, not eating this night won't make him grow thinner. But if I am hungry, I'll go to the kitchen and find something to eat. But for now, I don't think I feel like eating anything.""How about I buy you fruits to eat. It's healthy, you know?"I smiled weakly. I didn't want to refuse, if I have to refuse it would only make him worried and sad and that's what I am avoiding. So, I simply nodded my head. "That'll be great." I said.I knew my condition wasn't a minor one, and it was probably because I was close to delivery. "Denver, if you don't mind calling doctor James for me.""Okay. I'll give him a call then." Quickly, without was
BETA MARK'S P.O.VWhat kept surprising me is the fact that she has refused to say a shit about who ordered her to do what she did."I'm gonna ask you for the last time, young lady, who asked you to do this?" I questioned, staring angrily at her. She was taking longer to say the truth and it was beginning to piss me off."Answer me!" I yelled. "Who the fuck sent you to do this?""No one asked me to do it. I swear, no one did." Tears had already stained her face, but I wasn't going to let myself be moved by her tears."You're gonna keep lying, huh?"Despite the number of strokes given to her, she knew how to endure everything. "I already told you… I don't know anything. And no one asked me to do that." I landed a resounding slap on her cheeks."You still haven't learned, have you?""I am innocent. I only took the meal just as it was served to the Queen, I have no idea the food was poisoned.""If you're gonna keep lying, then you better find a better strategy to go on with that." I snarl
DENVER'S P.O.VI stormed into her room, only to meet her walking out of the bathroom. “Hey, Denver, nice to see you today.” She said excitedly, “I wasn't even –”I cut her short. “I'm not here for that, Jennifer.” “Okay. Why then are you here?” She crossed her arms. “To remind me that I ain't your Luna or what?”“To let you know that I already know your evil intention to kill my wife.”“What evil intention.” She kept a confused face. “What the fuck are you even talking about, Denver?”“Don't act like you don't know what I am talking about, Jennifer.”“Of course, I don't know what you are talking about. You just walked in here to accuse me of something I didn't do. How many times have you seen me leave this room since you stopped our wedding?”“That's another reason why you had to send the maid to do it herself.”“What maid?” She scoffed. “Seriously, Denver, is this why you came here? To say this nonsense to my face? Yes, Skylar and I haven't been on good terms doesn't mean I should i
DENVER'S P.O.VI forced myself not to sleep, and even when I eventually did, I couldn't sleep for long. My eyes have been opened since the previous night, trying to watch over both Skylar and the child. He's been asleep, and that's all thanks to the nurses. I was already wondering how I was going to go with making a baby sleep. Right now, all I could hope for is that he doesn't wake up to cause a noise.That was another part I was certain I couldn't do. Making a baby stop crying? That was more like making the Devil stop being evil.When morning fully came, I stood by the window, staring down at the street. The sound of Skylar's groan drew my attention, causing me to look in her direction.“Hey, you're awake.” I said, leaving the window to her side. “Good morning.”She was still trying to get over with the sleep in her eyes. "You stayed. You didn't leave.""I'll never leave your side, not now. Not ever."She forced a weak smile on her face. "Thank you." She glared around the room, bef
SKYLAR'S P.O.V (A Week Later...)~AT FLORIDA KEYS~I've been up since 3 am, tiredness would be an understatement if only I have to say that's exactly how I feel right now. I feel like dying already. Gosh! It's been a week now – a fucking one week and I haven't gotten a good night sleep.The first day, he slept for so long. Yes, I was so worried to know why he was sleeping for hours more than a normal adult, but now, I'm beginning to miss that long hour of sleep. Even the doctor confirmed it was normal for a child to remain asleep for that long, though I wasn't very relieved about that information...Now! I just feel more unrelieved with the consistent cries. Geez...With the heaviness of my eyes, I attempted to soothe him back to sleep. No matter what I tried, it seemed impossible to get him back to sleep. I had already breastfed him, changed his diapers, and rocked them for what felt like hours. I did everything I knew best, yet, the unfading cries continued. I was already growing
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
