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
SKYLAR'S P.O.VFOR the first time I felt unmoved by her words. It felt more like she wasn't actually talking to me. I acted not to care because I felt it was none of my business whether or not Alpha Denver was going to get married to her.And she looked up in the heel as she said that. Perhaps she thinks I'd feel jealous of her. Cut the crap, Miss, I'm not interested.I never knew I'd find my breath until I left the room. Once again, I could feel life inside of me rather than suffocation. I left for my room, sitting beside my window since I wasn't feeling sleepy. I was thinking about Dimitri and how things would end up with me telling him the truth. I can imagine his face in my head. I know it will definitely hurt him to learn that I already have a mate. Worse still, my mate was his best friend.It will hurt him especially to know that I am carrying his best friend's child. I can't stop imagining the pain and sadness on his face. That beautiful face. It fucking hurts. Even without lo
DIMITRI'S P.O.V"Hey, do you mind if we meet at the beach?""Yeah. Yes, sure."I dropped my phone back on my desk, feeling a bit unease about the sudden call. Yes, Denver does call unexpectedly, requesting to see me without a reason. But this time, it felt so differently to hear his voice.Could it be because of what happened back in his mansion?I was drawn in by my thought that I couldn't even focus on what I was doing. My heart was filled with worries, not for my sake, but for Skylar's. However, I left what I was doing, heading for my room for a quick shower. Lilian wasn't here anymore, after our last argument, she left which I am grateful for. There was no one to bother me with my whereabouts.Meanwhile, I left the pack house at exactly eleven minutes past ten, arriving at the Moon Night Pack twenty minutes past twelve which was a two hour drive. I drove straight to the beach, Denver's car was already packed there.My eyes widened a bit upon seeing Skylar standing a few inches aw
DENVER'S P.O.VI sat alone in my office, deliberately isolating myself from any disturbances. But tried as I might, I couldn't shake the cloud of thoughts that kept roaming in my mind. The image of Skylar and Dimitri locking lips replayed in my head, taunting me relentlessly. I couldn't help but feel a tight knot of jealousy and envy as I watched them embrace each other.It pained me to witness their heartfelt confession of love, and their promises to stand by each other no matter what, regardless of the circumstances.It was an inexplicable feeling for me. I found myself struggling in between emotions, unable to fully comprehend why their moments together stirred such strong emotions within me. I couldn't deny that their connection felt genuine, their love for each other shining through every word they spoke and every action they made.I had so much tried to care less about her and everything she does. I thought their meeting was just a minor meeting like she had said, it didn't oc
SKYLAR'S P.O.VTHE D-Day has finally come, Jennifer will be celebrating her birthday today. Yeah, that has called for jubilation to almost everyone in the pack house, but definitely not to me.While the other maids were working the ceremonial hall where the celebration will be held, I was busily working my ass, helping Jennifer with her dressing and makeup.The whole preparation had started early in the morning and I had barely closed my eyes. The one minute I had thought I'd finally get a good night sleep, Mrs Marie had to wake me up.Urrgh!I helped her to do and undo her hair. She had picked a specific outfit, but then had to change her mind for some reasons best known to her.Now, we're working on her makeup, and I hope she doesn't scream from the little monstrous job I had done on her face. However, it turned out that I really did a good job on her face.Then she brought out a box from the wardrobe. She opened it, revealing a silver necklace in it. She picked it out, giving it to
DENVER'S P.O.VI was curious about Jennifer's whereabouts knowing it's been close to an hour since she had left my side. I wanted to be sure she was safe with the people around her.However, as soon as I got to the swimming pool side, I noticed a sudden gathering. The laughter of the crowd echoed, leaving me to wonder if something had actually gone wrong.I was concerned if Jennifer had gotten into trouble or something. I pushed my way into the crowd, then I heard someone say; "Isn't that the Alpha's maidservant?"I wanted to see for myself what was going on. And seeing I was coming, they made way for me. I saw her. She was struggling for life, fighting to get away from the water. And it was so disappointing that no one attempted to save her.I looked over at Jennifer's direction, she and her friends were laughing, making fun of her despite knowing the gravity of the situation. I dived in, swimming from behind her. Before I could reach her, she had given up, and her body slowly sank.
JENNIFER'S P.O.V"Arrgh!"I screamed."Why? Why does she always have to come into pictures each time I make a step ahead. One little step from her and she is on top!" I cried.Aunt Kate pulled me into her arms, cuddling me right but that wasn't enough to compare the fact that Denver had the guts to yell at me all because of that bitch.As if that wasn't enough, he had to dismiss my occasion, ending my fun in a blink of an eye. "She is just a devil that needs to be eliminated." I cursed, tears streaming down my cheeks. "Aunt Kate, we must do something. We have to. I won't let her take Denver away from me.""Calm down, darling. It seems you have forgotten who is standing with you. I am his aunt, and I stand as a mother to him. You don't have to worry, I will talk to him. And when I do, he will have no choice but to do as I say." She reassured me.I felt a bit relieved by her words. "Just make sure she is out of the picture at all costs.""You don't have to worry, sweetheart, Aunt Kate g
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
