HAILEE.I sat there in the meadow, tears streaming down my face, feeling utterly defeated. I raised my voice to the moon goddess, my words a desperate plea filled with pain and frustration. "Why, oh why, did you give me Sebastian as my mate? I never wanted him. I never wanted any of this!" The weight of my emotions hung heavy in the air as I poured out my heart, my words lost in the vastness of the night.I sat there, my heart still pounding with anger, frustration, and disbelief. The moon goddess had played a cruel trick on me, forcing Sebastian upon me as my mate. I never asked for this, never wanted him. I wanted someone else, someone who understood me, someone who could share my dreams and desires. But the moon goddess ignored my pleas, ignored my desires, and thrust Sebastian into my life.Why couldn't she have listened? Why couldn't she have seen the pain and the longing in my heart? I pleaded with her, begged her to give me a different mate, someone who would make me happy. But
SEBASTIAN. I was in my room for what felt like an eternity. Two days had passed, but it felt like a lifetime. I couldn't escape the overwhelming sense of turmoil that engulfed me, the whirlwind of emotions that raged within my soul.I couldn't help but mentally battle with the moon goddess herself. How could she have given me the one person I despised the most as my mate? It was a cruel twist of fate, a sick joke played on my heart. I had always been strong, unyielding, but now I found myself at odds with my own nature.Hailee, the girl I had hated with every fiber of my being, became a constant presence in my thoughts. It was unnerving, disorienting. I couldn't understand how this could have happened. The moon goddess must have been playing some twisted game with my heart.In the past few days, I noticed a change within myself. I became softer towards her, more forgiving. It was as if an invisible force was pushing me towards her, despite my every instinct telling me to resist. I co
HAILEE.For two days now, I've been wandering aimlessly through the woods, seeking solace in the embrace of nature. I had no destination in mind, no desire to go anywhere precisely. All I wanted was my space, my solitude, at all costs.With each step, I felt a burning need to be alone, to escape from the chaos that had consumed my life. The weight of unwanted responsibilities pressed upon me, threatening to suffocate my spirit. I couldn't bear it any longer.Anyone or anything that dared to disturb my peace, my sanctuary, paid the price. I unleashed my fury, my primal instincts taking over. I became a force to be reckoned with, a predator in the wilderness. My prey fell one by one, their lives snuffed out without mercy.Exhausted from the hunt, I sought respite on the forest floor. The damp earth became my bed, the rustling leaves my lullaby. Sleep enveloped me, and with it came a dream, a haunting vision from the depths of my subconscious.In the dream, my father appeared before me,
SEBASTIAN. I was sitting with Clara, trying to find solace in her company, when suddenly, a message pierced through the bond, jolting me out of my thoughts. It was Hailee. She needed help. Without a second thought, I left Clara behind, not bothering to provide any explanation. My sole focus was on finding Hailee, on ensuring her safety.Using the mate bond as my guide, I let it lead me through the wilderness, tracking her down with unwavering determination. Panic surged within me as I moved swiftly, the urgency to reach her growing with each passing second. I couldn't bear the thought of losing her, of being too late.And then, there she was, lying unconscious on the forest floor, a sight that struck fear deep into my heart. I rushed to her side, my hands trembling as I checked for any signs of life. She was so still, so pale, and my heart clenched at the sight.Summoning the strength within me, I lifted her gently, cradling her fragile form in my arms. I could feel the weight of her
SEBASTIAN .It had been two weeks, I thought, as I wiped the bead of sweat that was threatening to fall by itself. A very weary sigh left me as I looked around, groaning as my joints groaned back in unison. There was no denying that I had been undergoing a very hectic time. Two weeks felt like forever, it amazed me how much time had slipped since the horrible and unforgettable day Hailee fell unconscious. I had been so pained, so enraged about her condition in the first few days despite the pack doctor's instructions. I wondered who would have the guts to hurt her ns why they wanted to hurt her but there didn't seem to be any assault assault her Considering what the pack doctor had said. Till this moment I still wondered what had happened and how it could be resolved but the moment that thought came came my kind, I chased it out almost immediately because I knew there was no point in having those thoughts. It was as baseless and meaningless as it comes. There was nothing I hadn't tr
SEBASTIAN. Once I was done signing the last document that had prompted my coming to work today, I threw myself back on the chair with my eyes closed. A very heavy sigh escaped my nostrils while sitting back there. I took my time to look around me and there was barely anything I could focus on at the moment. I just hoped that when I left this place to somewhere part of the pack, maybe at the moat, at the physician's place to see Hailee or anywhere in the Packhouse, I would find a moment of respite, something that could ease my mind from the troubled state it was in. There was no denying the fact that my mind was a metaphorical storm that wouldn't stop. It was like a ship in the middle of a tempest and the more I tried to ease it off with other thoughts, the more it got worse, usually resulting in my head nagging with a pain that I hated so much. At the end of the day I would be left sulking with no remedy to any of my troubles. I just hoped that the end of the tunnel would be a lot
SEBASTIAN."There has been no change about the situation '' Ed, one of the guards offered, before clearing his throat. "But he asked me to pass a message to you. The physician. That's when I had gone to check on Hailee to know if everything was getting better. And he asked me to tell you to be calm and not think too much about it. He also said there are greater chances she would be coming back to consciousness." My shoulders sagged as I sighed. I just wondered when all this was over, she would come back to me once again. I didn't sign up for any of this, I thought as I stared right into nothingness. I also wondered how long the Pack doctor was going to keep assuring me that she was OK and that she would come back to life or rather her consciousness. I didn't ever think I was going to wait this long before she was back. There was nothing else I could do other than pray to the Goddess and hope that she brought her back to me anytime soon. I missed nearly everything about her save fo
SEBASTIAN. "Thank you Alpha , we will get right into work immediately. And we are sorry for any inconvenience this might cause you." He rasped, standing immediately and headed towards the door. The door opened immediately and he stepped out to the passageway which was flanked by a handful of warriors who were waiting for his command. The truth was that I was out of my mind. I was mad and didn't even give it a thought before declaring what I said. But I guess it was still the right thing to do. They needed to be taught a lesson none of them would ever forget and I guessed that would be now. This would be the time to have those rogues taught the proper way things should be done. I was still reeling from what had transpired the past minute, looking around me as my heart rate quickened. Things had escalated pretty quickly and there was no denying the fact that I was happy it did. I thought about it and wondered if this was the work of a stray rogue pack that was just attacking us out
HAILEE.A month went by,Hailee and Sebastian continued to feel the sorrow of not knowing where their baby was. Hailee was mentally as well as physically drained as a result of the restless nights and relentless crying. Sebastian was tortured by seeing her in anguish and felt unable to stop it.After another day of futile searching, Sebastian brought Hailee to their room one night. As she sobbed herself to sleep, he comforted her while holding her close. He resolved to do all in his power to locate his kid and bring him back safely after seeing her in such pain.Sebastian quietly slipped out of the room as Hailee slept to care to his responsibilities as the beta and keep the pack together during this trying time. The pack was feeling quite emotional since they had missed its alpha and beta. As Arlo's absence rumors and suspicions spread like wildfire, the pack members were tense and uneasy.Sebastian put forth a lot of effort, answering questions, providing assurances, and attempting to
HAILEE.Hailee and Sebastian sat across from one another at a gorgeously set table while the garden was bathed in the mellow glow of dusk. Arlo was sound asleep nearby. In sharp contrast to the turbulence they had both experienced, the environment was serene and tranquil.Sebastian wanted to make this dinner date ideal for Hailee, so he stared at her with a mixture of adoration and tenderness. He admitted, a faint smile teasing his lips, "I've missed occasions like these. "I always enjoyed being with you, despite the fact that we used to fight sometimes."His words warmed Hailee's heart, and she stretched across the table to grip his hand tenderly. She said, her voice quiet and honest, "I missed you too. Our time was so heavily consumed by the pack's duties, although.While nodding, Sebastian fixed his gaze on hers. He replied with a hesitant, "I'd like that," in his voice. And I want to express my regret one more for how I handled you when you first came to the pack. I made a mistake
After some weeks and few days had passed the hurt and rage Hailee felt didn't go away. She was aware that in order to solve the suffering she and the pack had through, she would have to face Dolph and Clara head-on. She summoned them over to the house and got ready for a challenging and emotional discussion.Hailee's eyes flashed with piety as Dolph and Clara approached her. She couldn't believe how blatantly they had broken her confidence.Hailee started by saying, "I trusted you both," her voice shaken from crying. "You were like a member of my family to me, and you betrayed my faith in the worst way ever."Dolph attempted to cut in, "Hailee, I-"Hailee interrupted him, "No, don't interrupt," her expression flashing with rage. "You are not entitled to an explanation. Nothing you say can make what you did acceptable.Hailee's heart briefly shook as Dolph asked for forgiveness, but she was aware that it wouldn't undo the harm they had caused.Dolph remarked with regret in his voice, "
HAILEE. Finally Hailee decided to tell Sebastian what she actually saw. Taking a deep breath to steady herself Hailee turn to face Sebastian as she said. "I saw Dolph making love to Clara your fiance".Sebastian His jaw clenched in rage as his expression darkened. He found it difficult to control the wave of feelings that overcame him, including betrayal, hurt, and protective inclinations toward Hailee.You saw them together, right? Sebastian questioned, his voice laced with skepticism, hoping there had been a miscommunication.Hailee nodded while her eyes started to cry up. She said, her voice shaking with pain and danger, "Yes, I saw them having an affair together."As Sebastian became aware of the severity of Hailee's suffering, his heart sunk. He comforted her by gently luring her into his arms where he held her close. He said softly, "I'm truly sorry you had to witness that," his voice full of regret.Hailee clutched to him as she sought comfort in his company. She cried out, "I
SEBASTIAN. Sebastian comforted the wailing infant by holding him in his arms. Hailee could hear her son crying from the other room even though she was busy doing pack job. She gave him and Arlo a quick glance as they came in and groaned with a mixture of weariness and worry.He has been crying nonstop. Hailee said, casting a weary smile towards Sebastian, "I guess he's hungry and tired.Sebastian agreed, realizing how difficult it may be to care for a cranky baby. He gently rocked Arlo in his arms and replied, "All right, I'll try to feed him."Hailee carried on with her responsibilities while Sebastian assumed over, certain that Arlo was in capable hands. But just as she focused on her job, she groaned in agony and cried out a little. "Ouch!"Sebastian gave her a worried glance. He was worried and said, "What happened?"Hailee said, massaging her tender breast. "He bit me," she said. "I believe he is hurting from teething,"Sebastian's expression alternated between astonishment and
SEBASTIAN Sebastian remained beneath the pouring rain with his head cocked back, feeling the icy droplets slide down his face. He didn't mind being wet because the rain appeared to reflect the anguish he was experiencing within. The burden of the most current details left him emotionally and physically weary and worn out.He was divided in his emotions, torn between his love for Hailee and the unresolved pain from their previous relationship. He couldn't fight the want to possess a child with her or the yearning to hold her by his side for the rest of his life. He had a strong feeling of desire for a family, with Hailee as his partner and a child to continue their history.He had no choice but to express his mind as he looked up at the moon. He said, a mixture of fury and emotion in his voice, "Moon goddess, you've made my life so difficult." "I want to be with her because I love her, but it's not that easy."Then he remembered his father, the previous Alpha, who had killed the secon
SEBASTIAN. An overwhelming sense of urgency overcame Sebastian as he left the hospital with the intention of returning later to check on Hailee.Raised shouts greeted him as soon as he entered the pack house. The atmosphere was tense as two maids engaged in a heated argument. Sebastian's gaze become averted, and his dominant tendencies emerged. His powerful presence attracted attention as he approached the situation.His voice boomed across the room, "Enough!" he yelled. "What does this mean?" you ask.The maids' argument abruptly came to an end as their terrified eyes widened. "Alpha, she started it!" one of them sputtered. She has been negligent and-"To stop her, Sebastian put out a hand. "Excuses are not what I desire to hear. This argumentation is inappropriate and ridiculous. I want everything to be in order since Hailee will be going back home. Get back to work right away to make sure it doesn't happen again.Sebastian's firm tone chastened the maids, who soon nodded. Knowing
HAILEE. Hailee's eyelids twitched open as the dawn light crept in from the hospital room curtain. She remembered the previous night's incidents, including the argument with Sebastian, the death of her child's father, and the falsehoods she had spoken to shield Dolph, and fear seized her heart.Always the calm alpha, Sebastian remained by her side as soon as he noticed how upset she was. With a soft yet strong voice, he told her, "Hailee, it's okay." "The baby is secure now, and you are too.Her gaze quickly landed on her stomach, but the bulge she had become familiar to was no longer there. She felt panicky until Sebastian assured her that the youngster was secure in his arms. As he laid their infant in her arms, Hailee's trepidation transformed into exhilarating relief as she cradled her kid for the very first time, tears flowing down her face.She was able to stutter "thank you," her voice strangled with emotion.Her face was kissed by Sebastian, who did so tenderly. "You and the
DOLPH The sun soon started to set and the sky was soon painted in a day glo. Dolph had just met with Clara and he was hurrying back to the Pack. He was very happy with the way that his mind had been cleared that evening after meeting with her. Everything all seemed so clear and he was so pleased with the way things had turned out ever since he had met Clara. She seemed to have the answers to all his problems. She was always there to support him in one way or another when he was feeling down or something like that. He was very happy that he had met her because each time he mindlinked her, telling her that they needed to meet, she left immediately and they would converge at their normal place where they talked about their problems, shared their feelings and ended up making love or making out. Dolph couldn't imagine a better way to live, coupled with the fact that she was his mate. Some other girl would have rejected him horribly and that would have been very bad but she had accepted h
