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 P.O.VI frowned. "That's if only you can be sensible for once, then there is definitely no reason why she has to suspect us. I shouldn't be here with you, I shouldn't even be looking at your face." I spat.A sly smirk played on her face. "That's because every little thing I do, gets the alpha's attention. You might hate me so much, but you just can't stop having me around you. And do you know why? That's because your wolf can't do without me."It was obviously clear that she found it quite funny about the whole thing, but I refused to act moved because she was actually telling the truth.As much as I want to act like everything is alright with or without her by my side, my wolf always has a way to act the opposite.It was so eager to have her, to claim her. I can tell how hard I have tried to hold the urges back each time she was near. Her scent was one my wolf couldn't do without, and no matter what I tell it, it gives it a thousand reasons to leave her the more.That's why
SKYLAR'S P.O.VWhen the maid said Mrs Kate was calling me, I thought I had entered into a big trouble. But the moment I saw Alpha Denver, Jennifer and her standing in the middle of the sitting room, I realized I was in bigger trouble.Her mentioning if I have something to do with Alpha Denver meant there must be a problem between the two lover birds.The atmosphere was suffocating, I thought she was going to strangle my neck but she didn't. I was praying earnestly that he would listen to them and walk me out for good.I was already sick and tired of the whole drama, and I wanted every means to leave this place for damn good.I sat quietly by the cabin, thinking out of space as I stared at nothing. I lost focus on what chef Vivian was making, the thought of the earlier incident still bothered me."Hey, what's on your mind?" Chef Vivian asked.I sighed, shaking my head. "It's nothing.""Come on, child, we both know it isn't nothing. Everyone knows what you face in this pack house, so yo
SKYLAR'S P.O.V"Why can't I read your mind?" She questioned, her face turned to a deep frown as she glared angrily at me.How is that even possible? And how am I supposed to know that she can't read my mind?"What are you hiding from me, you bastard?!" She yelled, tightening her grip on my face. "How am I supposed to know, Mrs Kate? I literally have no idea why." I defended myself, but she kept squeezing my cheeks so that I couldn't feel them anymore.I yelled in pain, trying to take her hands off me, but each attempt I made gave her reasons to do more."Don't you think of stopping me, you are so useless and wicked. All you ever want is for your own benefit, you don't care about other people around you.""Mrs Kate, I don't know what you are talking about.""You don't know anything I am talking about. You can never know because you don't care to know!"She was really taking this too personally than Alpha Denver would ever do. My body has really seen a lot these days, and none of these
SKYLAR'S P.O.V"No. No, I am not." That was the response I gave to him, but it seemed not to be convincing to anyone. Lately, I noticed the way he keeps looking at me like he had asked me to keep something secretive for him, and he was only trying to be sure I wasn't planning to steal it at the same time.That night was dinner, more of a reconciliation dinner between the both of them. I could feel their eyes on me, though they try to make it unnoticeable.But Alpha Denver wasn't being a pretender, as his was even more obviously clear to everyone."You may leave now." He dismissed me.I let myself not to be bothered by what had happened or what they might probably be talking about, I was much more concerned about why Mrs Kate was unable to read my mind.How is that even possible, even when my connection to my wolf was weak and I am yet to transform?It troubled me to no end. I have always believed it was a lot easier for the minds of a human to be read without any hindrance, but here
SKYLAR'S P.O.V"Who's that on the phone?" I flinched as the deep voice sounded through the quiet room."Who is that, Skylar?" I heard Dimitri ask, but I ignored his question, dropping the telephone back on its stand.Slowly, I turned to see who it was. I still had the fear in me even though it was Beta Mark standing before me. He was the alpha's Beta, so I had every right to feel scared.I wasn't sure if he was going to report me to the alpha, the look on his face was a bit terrifying if I may say."I… I was just speaking with my cousin." I lied, hoping it would be convincing enough for him not to find out that I was actually lying. "We've been sending letters lately, but then he said he was coming over to pay a visit, so I only wanted to let him know it wasn't the right time to.""You know, if it were to be the Alpha King here, he wouldn't believe you. The call seemed quite suspicious, especially you having it at such an hour of the night.""I know, and I am sorry. I didn't want him
DENVER'S P.O.VI knew something was wrong the moment I felt a bit uncomfortable. I didn't know why because I haven't felt this strange before. This was actually the first time I felt this weird, but where was it coming from?My body was reacting to the feeling, and so was my wolf. It was eager to find out, to know why I was feeling this way.I tried to ignore it, but it was taking things too seriously and I was becoming twice as uncomfortable with it, so I decided to go to my room to get some rest."We need to find out what's wrong, Denver. Something doesn't seem right." My wolf said for the second time."I will, but for now I think I need to get some rest first. We'll figure that out later." I tried to explain but then, it wouldn't listen to me."No, Denver," it refused. "We need to figure it out now or you get unrest for the rest of the day until we find out what the problem is."I groaned inwardly, finding my wolf a bit annoying at the moment. "Can we just let this go, at least for
DENVER'S P.O.VI couldn't sleep throughout the night as my mind wandered through countless thoughts. I hoped for morning to come already so I would take a drive out of this mansion.But my plan shattered as my guard came to inform me that doctor James needed my attention."Did something happen?" Jennifer asked."No, it's nothing." I said, "I'll be back in a minute."I wasn't rushing to find out why he wanted my attention, I was more than reluctant to go to his quarter. I knew he was calling because of Skylar, and I didn't want to act like I cared when I actually didn't.Stepping in, he bowed his head, then he said to me. "Sir, we have a problem." He announced."What problem?" I asked."It's the young Miss, her health has gone worse. She isn't responding to the medication.""What's that supposed to mean, doctor? You should know what to do, that's why I have you here.""Sir, I have tried my best to revive her. And if you can remember our conversation last night, I told you her health wa
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
