Jaselyn's POV “You got me a phone?” I ask incredulously because I really can't believe my eyes.“Yeah, it was long overdue. I only kept you locked up in the palace with no communication to the outside world in order to control you because I was scared you would find a way to escape from me but I'm not that person anymore.To this day, I'm deeply ashamed of myself and I truly regret all the things that I did to you. No amount of apologies can ever change what I did and I know there's no excuse that can justify my actions. I was acting out of my own insecurity and it made me hurt you so deeply.I never want to repeat that mistake again. Instead I want to change, Jaselyn. I want to become a better person, for you and for our child. I want to become the best father and a far greater mate to you. That's truly all I desire from life.I'm going to try to unlearn all my bad habits starting now. I'll do my best to make up for all the bad things I did to you, for betraying your trust and tramp
Jaselyn’s POV “Jas, Alpha Ezra and his entourage have arrived!” Nae alerts me and I stand up from my seat. “Where are they now?” “The Alpha has just received them, I think he’s taking them to the meeting room.” Nae informs me.“I wasn’t expecting them to arrive so early. I’ll change right away.” I speak as I drop my phone on the table. I had previously been playing a game on it. Today’s the day, it’s finally here…..And it makes my stomach tighten with anxiety.“Relax, it’s going to be alright. Zane will keep to his promise and everything will work out.” Nila attempts to invigorate me.“Except it’s not Zane I’m worried about. I just have this uneasy feeling, I’m afraid that Isla will do something.” “Considering the situation, it’s OK to be nervous but worrying yourself to death won’t help anyone. Don’t forget that you’re carrying our pup so you need to take it easy on yourself. Let’s get ready and go out there to support Zane!” Nila emboldened and I released a deep breath, strengt
Jaselyn’s POV“How generous of you but don’t get all cocky and forget I’m the daughter of an Alpha of a Pack much bigger than Black Moon. There’s no type of material wealth you could grant me that I don’t already have.In light of that, I do have one request. I’ll agree to the divorce and the severing of our bond under one condition.” Isla poses out.“What is it?” Zane persists and I can feel my heartbeat pick up.What could she possibly want?“I’ve lived in this Pack for so long now that I’ve come to see it as my home. Even though our relationship is about to end, I’ve made a lot of memories in this place, ones that are very close to my heart and as a result, I can’t bear to part with this place so suddenly. So I’m asking— No, demanding that you let me stay in this Palace for one year even after our divorce is finalized. I just need time to come to terms with everything that has happened and try to enjoy the time here I have left. I’ll have to part with everything I know and love an
Jaselyn's POVIt's been about seven months and a lot has happened.Hadrian did truly turn out to be Nae's mate. It was most unexpected and I feared that he might reject her but as usual, Hadrian took the unpredicted route and married her in a week.Yes, the mating ceremony was rushed and it was held in the palace by Isla. Nae’s farewell was bittersweet and marked with tears.She cried because she didn't want to leave me alone in the Palace and probably because she would miss her family while I cried because I would truly miss her. She really was my last source of consolation, given my two other friends are gone and now it's her turn.But that's the thing about life, change is constant and no matter how painful it feels at that moment, we have no choice but to accept it and move on.I'm happy for Nae, that she finally found her mate. She's honestly a wonderful person and I wish her all the happiness in the world. I hoped that Hadrian would be a great mate to her and he would treat her
Jaselyn's POV Moving on to another topic, Zane has gone with me for all my prenatal exams and checkups. He wants to be involved in the entire process and it's so sweet. He's always making sure I eat right and take all my vitamins. The doctor assigned me some exercises to do to relieve the back and pelvic pain I'm beginning to feel as the baby grows.After Nae's departure, I was assigned a new maid. Her name is Talia and she's the complete opposite of Nae. She's so quiet and reserved. She insists on remaining formal with me and won't joke around or engage in small talk with me. She's just too serious, it's almost frightening.Thanks to Selene that I have my phone to keep me busy or I would have been bored to death and missed Nae more than I already do.As soon as my first trimester ended, Zane stopped me from doing any work. I'm the defacto Luna of the Pack but Zane has other people handle all the work. The only thing I'm allowed to do is attend meetings and that's when it's really im
Isla's POVWith a final thrust, he spilled into the condom and got off me while I sat up, reaching for the cigarette packet on the nightstand. Blade took off the used condom, tied it and threw it in the trash while I lit a cigarette.He sat back on the bed, getting behind me and wrapping his arms around me, I slapped his hand away and glared.Taking a long drag of the cigarette, I exhaled before turning to him.“What did I say about touching me unnecessarily?” I asked sternly.He grinned sheepishly. “Sorry, I just really like to cuddle with you. You're the woman I love so it's only natural that I want to touch you as much as possible, especially since we're keeping our relationship under wraps.”“You should know your limits and stop giving me that love crap. Our relationship is purely sexual, I use you to scratch an itch, that's all it is.” I reminded him firmly and he pouted.I hate it when he sulks, it's so annoying.“You hurt my feelings when you say that, you know. You're more th
Jaselyn's POVThere was a knock on the door.“Come in.”The door opened and the person who walked in made me smile in pleasant surprise. I placed a hand on my abdomen, standing up gently.“No, please sit down. You're heavy, you really shouldn't stress yourself.” Jinu cautioned as he rushed towards me.He helped me sit back down on the bed and I took a good look at him. It was hard to believe that this was the same boy who had infiltrated our Pack seven months ago.He'd grown much taller in the last few months. If I recall correctly, he was about 5’1 when I first met him but he's now towering over me at 5’10. He's literally just two inches shorter than Zane who's about 6 feet. Rion is taller than both at 6 '2.He's also developed muscle mass by how well built he seems through his shirt. In comparison to the lanky teen that I had saved from Rion's wrath, this was such a great improvement. What have they been feeding him in that facility? He had also changed his hairstyle, getting an un
Jaselyn's POV My phone buzzed once more and it was also a message from Rion but this time, it said that he was at the door! This just keeps getting worse. What kind of situation is this?I stood up carefully, supporting myself before walking over to the door. These are one of the times I miss not being pregnant. If I wasn't feeling like an overinflated balloon, I would have sprinted to the kitchen and warned Jinu not to come out for the rest of the day.But what really is the point in hiding him? He's going to attend my baby shower and so is Rion, they'll definitely see each other at the party but at least there'll be a crowd to stop anything major from happening. Argh! This is too much.I walked as fast as I could towards the kitchen but was disappointed when Chef Illyia said that Jinu had just left with a bag of chips.I hoped with all my heart that he had gone to his room but I know that things never usually go as I plan so I head to the entrance of the palace instead and sure as
