DIMITRI'S P.O.VI could barely close my eyes as I anticipated a report from the spy. I couldn't count the number of times I tumbled from one end to the other on my bed.The beep sound of my phone caught my attention. Quickly, I picked my phone from the corner of my bed, staring at the screen of my phone to see two notifications. One was a message while the other was a photo.I clicked on the notification which instantly took me to the message inbox. Sender: She is held in the dungeon. Here is a photo of her. (With an emoji finger pointing downward)I looked at the photo, heartbroken to see her asleep helplessly on the bare floor. She squeezed her body from the cold, I could barely see her face because her hair covered every part of it.Me: Give her the phone, I need to speak with her.I waited for seconds, then a message dropped in. "It's me, Skylar."On seeing the message, I quickly called the number. She wasted no time to pick my call. "Skylar, can you hear me?""Dimitri?" Her voic
SKYLAR'S P.O.VI cuddled my legs to my chest, hoping Dimitri will be alright from where he is. I didn't want him feeling worried about me or something, I don't want him doing more than he should because of me.It would hurt me the most if he ever had to enter a fight or argument with Denver just because of this. Definitely, I was going to bear the consequences for being a burden to someone, and also being the reason why two best friends were in a heated quarrel.Within these few days, I had my meal once a day, or nothing at all. I wished for Diva or Roselle to show up but no one came. And it's been five fucking days now, and I'm yet to see any of them.I wouldn't conclude yet, maybe they've been deprived of coming which I wouldn't blame them for. My stomach kept making gurgling noises as I sat still, staring out of the window.The sound of the door echoed through the dungeon, two guards walked to my cell, looking furious which I didn't bother to care about. "Get up."I ignored them, a
DIMITRI'S P.O.V"I... I wasn't planning on seducing you." She said, But whether or not she was, her outfit was one which told how much she wanted my attention to herself."How sure am I, Lilian. After all, your dress is obviously clear you wanted my attention. Or, am I lying?""I... I..." She stammered. "I'll just change the clothes instead."I wouldn't mind granting her wish, but with Skylar in my mind, I couldn't give out the trail. Even if I had to, I know I'll definitely not rest from my conscience hunting me."It's alright. You can leave." I dismissed her immediately before my adrenaline rose out of control. I had to contact the spy who I asked to keep an eye on what was going on. Me: How is she?Him: Sir, we've got a problem.Me: What's that?Him: The Alpha King has gone to her cell.Me: Why?Him: Two guards went to report to him about something. I guess the young lady must have said something offensive.I chuckled, finding this very statement a bit funny. I ended up laughing,
SKYLAR'S P.O.V"Mrs Marie said you've been sneaking out lately at night. What are you up to these days?" I froze. How did Mrs Marie know about my going out? And for goddess's sake, I only left once Diva and Roselle said no one noticed I left the headquarters."Thinking of an excuse to give this time? Huh?" He said, bringing me out of my thoughts.“No, I didn't! I don't leave the headquarters except when I'm sent on an errand.” I tried to explain, but he suddenly gripped my chin, pushing it up and making my breathing stop and heart thud in my chest. “I wish I could believe you, Miss Richardson. I don't care what you are up to, but I won't reject you now, omega," his voice was low and threatening. "I might not want you, but my wolf needs you. I can't afford to become weak. You are to stay by my side until I fall in love with Jennifer and make her my Luna. Until my pack and my wolf accepts her. Then, I will gladly get rid of you." "Great. And I can't wait for that day to come.""Of co
SKYLAR'S P.O.VWe sat quietly as he drove us to the same garden where we had shared our first kiss. The atmosphere around us was quiet, I could feel his eyes on me every second and minute, like he was checking on me or something."Are you sure you don't want to talk about it?" He asked, staring at the road."No." I said calmly, diverting my eyes to the window."You don't look quite alright to me." He muttered."I'm fine, Dimitri." The atmosphere again grew calm, I was thankful he didn't go further asking. I wasn't ready to explain everything to him, I just want to be somewhere I don't have to think about anything.We got to the garden park. He stepped out of the car to open the door for me, but I already did so before he reached my side.From the look on his face, I could tell he wasn't quite happy about my mood. What can I do? What can I say? There's no explanation or happiness that can change what I am facing in that god-damn pack house.I walked ahead of him, heading to nowhere in
SKYLAR'S P.O.VMy bump was beginning to grow, my fears grew and I was greatly worried and scared at the same time. I was scared of Alpha Denver finding out, I was scared of Mrs Kate and Mrs Marie learning about this.I was also scared of Jennifer knowing I was carrying her boyfriend's child. Not forgetting Diva and Roselle, they'll hate me for hiding this deep secret from them.But that isn't the main reason of my fear, I was more scared of Dimitri finding out. He'll definitely hate me for not telling him sooner. He'll assume I was the secretive type and definitely don't need his help anymore.So, I had to run to the doctor's office to confront him. Thankfully, he was around. "Doctor…" I called.He looked at me, taking off his glasses like he wasn't seeing me clearly while having it on. "Miss Richardson, is there a problem this time?""Doctor, it's my child, it's growing.""Of course, Skylar, your child needs to grow.""You don't understand, doctor. How am I going to hide this for lon
SKYLAR'S P.O.VAs the door slowly opened, my eyes caught with Diva and Roselle as they knelt before Mrs Kate. I knew everything had gone downhill, and it's all because of me they are here."So, you finally decided to return." Mrs Kate fumed as she stared evil at me. "Where have you been?""I only went to take a walk." I replied. I have no idea what Diva and Roselle must have told her, but I knew they'd never cast my whereabouts since they were the most eager ones who wanted me to meet with Dimitri."A walk from noon until now? What exactly were you doing outside the pack house?" She questioned again, sound unconvinced with my response."I went for a walk." I insisted."Since the three of you don't want to say the actual place you are coming from, then I'll have to force the words out myself then."I turned my gaze to their side, feeling pitiful for involving them in such a situation like this. No one was at fault, so I don't need to blame anyone for what's happening right now.I stood
SKYLAR'S P.O.VI kept myself isolated for some reasons best known to me. For the very first time Alpha Denver felt tired of hurting me. I mean, he never does that for any damn reason.But today seemed different, to the extent it shocked both Mrs Kate and Jennifer at the same time.They were both expecting a reaction from him, but rather he waved it off like it wasn't even a serious matter.Jennifer grew more hateful of me as she wanted him to make a move but saw none coming. She had to confront him why he was being calm over the case, but he kept quiet on her, ignoring her like she wasn't saying a thing."What are you still standing there for?" She questioned, looking at me like she was going to kill me any sooner than now.As I turned to leave, his voice stopped me. "Wait in my office."I see, I do get unlucky whenever I assumed his simplicity."Sir, I…""I said, wait in my office!" He yelled angrily."Why in your office, Denver, why not talk to her here?" Jennifer asked out of jealo
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
