DIMITRI'S P.O.V"Dimitri!"I jerked up, breathing heavily. As I turned to my side, I felt disappointed upon seeing Lilian laying beside me. She's always the first thing I see each time I thought of Skylar, and it was annoying that it always has to be this way."Hey, is everything alright?" She whispered, her hands wrapped my waist. I could feel her breast against my back, her breath fanned the skin of my neck. "Had a bad dream?"I sighed. "I don't feel like sleeping." I mustered, standing to my feet.She frowned. "Is something troubling you? You know you can talk to me."I stood, looking at her. There's nothing to talk about. Thinking about Skylar, having her image always displaying in my head has nothing to do with her. Hearing her call my name from miles away is totally none of her business."It's nothing." I walked away, heading for the bathroom.I left the bathroom, walking towards my wardrobe, finding new clothes to wear."Did I do something wrong?" She asked. "You've been avoidi
SKYLAR'S P.O.VIt's no longer news when it's already everywhere that Jennifer would be celebrating on the 17th of this month which is next week.The way Alpha has been treating her, more like she was celebrating tomorrow. For three consecutive nights they've been going out for dinner.However, they were definitely going out tonight which wasn't a surprising thing to me anymore since Jennifer has been saying it more like a song. The way she keeps praising Alpha Denver, most times I wonder if he was Zeus himself. I went to inform the chef that the Alpha was hungry. Jennifer demanded I should also serve her as she was hungry too. I had to give her a second glance, I knew I had asked her a few minutes ago if she was hungry. All she said was no. Then suddenly, because the Alpha King was hungry, she had automatically grown hungry too.I took the tray of food to the Alpha's room to serve him his meal. I was about to leave when Jennifer yelled. "What's the meaning of this?"I turned to see
SKYLAR'S P.O.VChef Vivian watched me carefully as she stirred a pot of simmering soup. Then she wiped her hands on her apron, her eyes arched with concern. "Skylar," she began gently, "I can't help but wonder... does the Alpha King know about the child you're carrying?"I hesitated, my eyes darting around the kitchen. "No," I finally admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'm not planning on telling him. I know that if I did, Alpha Denver would ask me to... to abort the child."Her eyes widened in shock, but she quickly composed herself and reached out to gently touch my arm. "Skylar, you must understand that pregnancy can't be hidden forever. How do you plan to hide the bump?"I took a deep breath, my lips curled into a small smile. "Actually, the doctor assured me that everything will be fine. He's helped me come up with a plan to disguise the pregnancy for as long as possible."Chef Vivian nodded in relief, her face brightened with a small smile. "That's good to hear, Skylar.
DIMITRI'S P.O.VI couldn't tear my eyes away as she walked out of my office, her wet dress clinging to her body, revealing a hint of her exposed hip. I tried to push the thoughts aside, my efforts were in vain as I found myself unable to stop thinking about her physicality.In stark contrast, Jennifer had a slim, model-like figure—a shape that I found quite appealing. Yet, Skylar's body was the opposite, neither thin nor fat, yet she possessed an undeniable stature. Her curves and straight legs seemed to magnetize my attention, drawing my gaze longer than I intended.I paused. For a moment, I tried to recall the initial reasons that led me to summon her. I was certain to have a reason for calling her, but as I watched her leave, those reasons seemed to disappear into thin air. I left my desk to the window, sniffing in the cold air of the evening breeze. I couldn't explain myself each time she was looking at me, there was this different feeling I always felt each time I saw her.I was
SKYLAR'S P.O.VI thought I was dreaming when I started feeling pain in my chest. But I realized it wasn't a dream as the pain silently increased.I wondered why I was feeling this pain for no reason, and I could feel the pain on my cheek like someone had just punched my face.All the maids were eating at the dining. Not the royal dining room, don't get me wrong. We were all having a very fascinating conversation for the first time in weeks. I wasn't paying attention as I tried to subside the pain I was feeling.At first, I thought it was the fever rising again, but when the pain seemed to increase only in some parts, it was something else."Are you alright?" Roselle asked, touching my hand."Uhm... I'm not sure. I feel kinda strange inside." "Strange like?" I sighed. "I don't know.""You all have to hurry up, the Alpha King is on his way back home." Mrs Marie notified. Then she looked at me, "I'm specifically talking to you, Skylar."I ate my food, trying to ignore Roselle's concern
DENVER'S P.O.V"How did it all happen?" Dimitri asked, looking concerned."I think someone in the pack house has been sending them information." I answered, feeling less concerned."And you haven't done something about it?" Citrus asked."I will. I don't have to make it too obvious or the intruder will find chances to escape. But I've sent a few people to keep an eye on it, we're working on it."I noticed Dimitri look at my eyebrow, he was observing the bruise. Then he asked. "You should have healed by now.""It's complicated.""What's happening?" He asked again."I don't know.""Your wolf is dead or something?"I raised my eyebrow, giving him a questioning look. "That's the only way the healing powers seem to be slow."I rolled my eyes. "My wolf is perfectly fine, it's just been on bad vibes lately.""Then you need to get it back or the bruise will take time to heal."For some reason I didn't want the bruises to heal. I wanted to feel what it was like to be a human, how to endure pai
SKYLAR'S P.O.VIT'S another day of – not hope – misery.I blamed myself for showing how lost I was towards Dimitri, now Alpha Denver will never let me see him. Who knows what's going to happen between them? What if they end up having issues between them all because of me?I slapped my forehead in frustration, sighing heavily. "You're such an asshole." I cursed. I overheard chef Vivian making list of things that are needed to be bought, I saw this as an opportunity to grab I'll follow the maids out, then sneak to the telephone shop to make a call to Dimitri.But my hopes were shattered as Mrs Marie selected the maids to go. I was about to follow them but she dragged my collar, pulling me back."And where do you think you are going?""Nowhere. I just want to help them out with the foodstuffs.""There are five of them that can do it."My only hope of hearing his voice was gone. I thought of something else to do, but each suggestion I come up with ends up being one that would probably
SKYLAR'S P.O.V"I'm leaving, but it's only for two days. Don't even think of my absence as a chance to do however you want because no matter where I am, I will have my eyes on you." He threatened."Whatever you do, think or say, I'll always have a way to know everything about you. So, try not to misbehave, or you'll regret ever being born."Those were the words he said to me before leaving the pack house, that was about five hours ago. Here I am, thinking of a better way to sneak out of here without anyone knowing my whereabouts.I'm really stuck on what to do right now. If I eventually get caught sneaking out, it would definitely anger Alpha Denver and likewise put me in severe danger. On the other hand, staying in the pack house won't solve any problem either. It's so stifling and difficult for me.I have to meet with Dimitri, and I need to tell him the truth or he will find out the hard way. He needs to know that we aren't mates, plus the fact that I am carrying the Alpha's child w
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
