Brynlee's POVI doubted his words. I doubted myself, that's because, deep down I never thought it was going to be so soon. I never thought I was going to be a mother so soon."Are you sure, Mave?" I asked, the umpteenth time. Right from the first day, Maverick had told me that all he wanted was me and nothing else. I wanted him all to myself too and I was happy he loved me that much but then there was my dream too.My dream of giving him what he would cherish all his life. What can only belong to the two of us in this life. I wanted to be a mother and the woman who gives him his unborn children.Still, I was still thrown off guard by the proclamation of the new life growing inside of me. The life I always wanted to give the man I love so much.Was I truly going to be a mother? Was my hidden dream coming through? I placed my hands on my belly, and in all sincerity, I couldn't tell if it was just myself, but I still couldn't feel anything moving inside of me. I thought I was supposed t
Third POVThe lady wouldn't hear any of the excuse made with a smile. How could such a sound not move a muscle within the other woman sitting like a statue but with a smile plastered on her face? "Seriously..! Tell me what's going on?" She asked again, staring at Ellen who still sat still despite having to hear the loud growling sound which made the entire pack shake and tremble.Brynlee was not going to listen to her half-baked words of everything is fine! Her husband just left the hospital barely thirty minutes ago and such a fearful growl was shattering the whole place? Was Maverick in danger? "Trust me.!" Ellen said with a smile and still placed her hand on Brynlee. But while she wore a smile on her face, Brynlee however didn't, still having the doubts boldly written as she stared at Ellen. This wasn't the time to be trusting blindly. She would be a mother soon and she hated that anything should happen to get mate! She was scared, damn scared of the fact that something might ha
Third POVCassy was one of such example. Her anger was justified because of what she thought that didn't come to fruition. She was feeling frustrated over the fact that the disappointment and jealousy she thought was the major reason why Brynlee had slumped was actually the symptoms of the birth of a new being growing inside of her. How could she be so sure? How could she think that the human pest was so vulnerable even if she was gullible?Cassy was angered, unable to eat and think clearly of what next to do. She felt the disappointment eating and getting the better part of her, laying on the bed with her face looking upwards, towards the ceiling where she just stared at the ceiling fan.She imagined herself walking to Maverick, and trying to stir up another conversation. But all the things she could see was just shame and failure. She couldn't even seduce the one man she wanted so badly. How could she let herself be caught? She finally understood that Maverick had come to the unde
Brynlee's POVIt's been two months yet the euphoria of giving birth to another being like me was still in me. It was amazing how this particular being was going to be the perfect mix of Maverick and I. Each morning that I wake up, I place my hands on my belly and gradually I realized that truly I was pregnant. At the initial point when I was told of it, I placed my hand on my belly and I could never feel anything. But as the time went on, as life continued, my belly began to protrude a little. Although it looked flat to others, I could feel it was expanding. It has become a reality what I thought was a lie. It felt so surreal, walking around with the evidence of what was done behind closed doors.But was becoming a mother soon something that could ever be regrettable? This question puzzled my mind each day I woke from the bed. It was as though I was a new being, as though I was just too special.True, I was a Luna, a commander of ten of thousands of armies as long as my mate gave th
Brynlee's POV"I want to protect you and my baby...""You are my life, buttercup. I can't live without you""I want you to be safe, always!" Those words of Maverick came rushing through me as I closed my eyes to embrace whatever it was that was to happen.If ever there was a moment where you start regretting a decision you made out of spite, then this very moment was the perfect example. I was as scared as I could be and my only thought was on the stomach.My baby... I needed to protect.My life? Yes... So Maverick could keep living. I can't afford to die, either. My eyes were shut tight, and my body froze in the same position I fell. My hands were placed right before me, intending to shied my face from what was going to drop on me while I turn my stomach away from possible hit.It's been two to three seconds yet the pain I had envisioned was not forthcoming instead, only my butt hurt a little from the impact of the fall earlier. Instead if anguish pain, there was a quiet, a very d
Cassy's POVI still laid on my bed with the tears rolling down my eyes, staring at the ceiling as I basked in the shame caused by the disappointment of loosing the first attempt of my recovery plan.At some point, the eyes which had tears rolling down were becoming weakened, and slowly closing as I laid on the bed. Soon, all I saw was just darkness and another world, which even though was my imagination and my mind, didn't still exempt me from the shame and torture which I faced in the real world.It was as though the reminisce of what had occured had continued in the dreaming, and haunting as well, as I continued to cry and wish that what had occured never had occurred.But a knock on the door saved me from this trauma. I could overhear it from the distant world I was in, and I turned round in my dream to trace the source of the sound, with a compelling force on me to awake and address the banging door.I jerked off the bed and walked with sleepy eyes and feet towards the door, and p
Cassy's POVBlood gushing out as she laid on the floor of the library while I watch her life draining slowly without any one coming to her aid....at least, that was what I envisioned as I pushed the shelf quietly.Yes. I was the cause of the shelf falling.I was sitting alone at the farthest end of the library, wishing that she could come in. I had tried several means to get in touch with her all to no avail.She was too guarded. Maverick made sure of it. Brynlee was damn impenetrable since the beginning of her pregnancy. Was he suspecting danger or was it just because of the rogues?Nevertheless, I was lucky the moon goddess granted my wish but as I envisioned her bloody state, I heard her scream and I jolted out of my wish.Then I saved her. That felt more than weird. On a regular day, I would have watched her lay down there and watch the shelf fall and smash her entire body to blood and bones. But there I was, risking my strength and dignity just because I had something I sought
Maverick's POVI wanted to end the meeting. They were becoming useless since none of these elders have anything new to say. It's always the old story of the rogues being different.Damnit! I know better than any of them. I was stabbed by their fucking blood! I need some other news and if we can't find a solution to get rid of them, it's not going to be safe for my people.I was starting to have an headache and I crave for Brynlee's touch. I looked around the gloomy conference room as the elders wore worn out expression on their faces.My eyes caught one of the elders, Elder Holster, casting contemplating glances at me. I knew he wanted to say something and if he was hesitating, it would only mean the issue wasn't related to the rogues.Or was it?"You got something to spill, Elder Holster?" I asked, giving him a piercing glare. He swallowed hard before nodding his head in answer."You want me to make you speechless? Or would you rather start talking and stop wasting my time by nodding
