Debby's POV: I stood outside the garage, debating whether to go in or not. My mate wasn't the cool kind of guy; rather, he was giving off the pathetic asshole vibe, which made me question whether I should reject him or not. "I know you're out there. How about you come in and we talk?" he said loudly. I looked at the tray in my hands, then slowly walked in. I was avoiding talking to him, but if I wanted him to eat something, then I had to serve him food. "Excuse me," I whispered, and then walked in. He looked at my face, and shifted his gaze to the tray in my hands. I slowly put it down on the ground, then stood upright, avoiding his gaze. "Is that my food?" he asked softly. I looked at him, and then scratched the side of my ear. "Well, yes. You have to eat something and stay healthy," I answered softly. "It's weird hearing it from someone who dared to imprison me. Is the food poisoned?" he asked, as I widened my eyes in disbelief. "What the hell, I never would!" I exclaime
Alec's POV: "Why am I in the office when you're the one who's supposed to be in here?" Damon asked seriously. I had a feeling he hadn't been working or looking at the files while I was away, but gosh! How could he just do nothing about his work? "Alpha, aren't you going to help out with work in any way?" I asked back. "No," he answered with a warm smile. "Is this my punishment for being your friend and Beta?" I asked playfully. "It's actually your blessing. Now, why am I here?" he asked. "I need a favor," I answered. "And what is it?" he asked. "I want you to call Lee over," I answered. "Is there a problem?" he asked seriously, concerned. "Not really, I just want him to help me out with something," I answered. He pressed his hands on the table and raised a brow. "I'm assuming you won't tell me what kind of help you need, and that's just so wrong," he muttered in a low tone, then stood up and pulled out his cell phone from his pocket. "Since when do you carry your phone e
Olivia's POV: "Olivia, it's me," Alec's voice came through the door. Micah quickly moved behind me to hide. "Please come in," I answered. He opened the door and walked in with his brother and another man. "How are you holding up?" His brother asked me once he stood a little further away from me. "I'm okay. Thank you so much for your care," I answered. "This here is Lee, our close family friend. He is a doctor and he came here to meet you. He was surprised that I had a lover and dared me to introduce him. He is also a lame magician," Alec said as Lee glared at him. "I'm not a lame magician. Magic is beautiful," he answered, then took a step closer and extended his hand to me. "Nice to meet you," he said as I quickly shook it. "I'm Olivia. Nice to meet you too," I answered softly. "And who is that little beauty hiding behind you?" He asked when he had pulled his hand away. "This is my niece, Micah," I answered. He knelt down on one knee, looking at her. "Micah, would you l
Debby's POV: I sighed for the second time while stirring the soup in the pot. I had been given money by Damon, yet I had no idea how to use it. By now, I was supposed to find someone who would help me deliver and, at the same time, find something for myself to do. My main fear was how people would react in the delivery room if, by chance, my wolf pulled through. They would run out in fear. I couldn't go back to Damon's pack or Johnson's, and I knew no one here who would help me. "I don't know what to do," I whispered to myself, then turned off the stove and walked out of the house, deep in thought, to get some fresh air. "Good to see you here," Jay's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I frowned as I looked around in shock. I had no idea how I found myself where he was when all I wanted was to think things through alone and get some fresh air. "How are you, beautiful?" he greeted. "Crap," I whispered, and then turned to walk away. "Debby, wait," he called loudly, stopping
Jay's POV: I was biting my nails, moving back and forth like a crazy maniac. My shirt was slightly bloody, and I couldn't stay calm no matter what. When Martinez walked out of the ICU, I rushed to his side. "Tell me now," I demanded. He rolled his eyes, then put his hand on my chest, pushing me back a little. "Brother, for a doctor, you act way too scary," he said as I angrily grabbed his coat. "Tell me, damn it," I yelled at the top of my voice. "I'm sorry," he whispered sadly, and tears instantly blinded my eyes. "I'm not a failure as a surgeon. That's why my private hospital is one of the best hospitals in the world. By now, you should know that," he said as I looked at him in shock and disbelief. "Does that mean... Does that?" I asked in a cracked voice. "Yes, both the mother and the child are alive. You did well to rush them here on time. If you had let them be like that for hours, they both would have been dead by now," he answered as I fell weakly to my knees, sobbin
Alec's POV: "Are you going to go in with mama to change?" Micah asked as she licked her candy. "No," I answered with a smile. We were waiting for Olivia to step out of the changing room so we could see the clothes she had chosen. "Aren't you going to sit down next to me?" She asked. "I will soon," I answered. My mind was going back to what Lee had said to me back at the pack. "I cleared most bad memories from her, but that's not how one should be or grow up. Bad memories are the ones that molds one into the adult they are or molds their decision to be better at something or who they are. That child's memories means a lot, that's why my wiping won't be permanent. When she reaches the age of sixteen, she will remember everything and she will be able to make her own decision if she wants to ever forgive you or not. I suggest you start being a perfect father figure for her, that way she would understand what you did that for," he said. "Alec, is this that bad?" Olivia asked in a
Debby's POV: I woke up with pain in my lower abdomen, and my throat was dry. "Ah," I moaned in discomfort while I looked at the ceiling with a frown. As the events played in my mind, I quickly sat upright and groaned loudly in pain. Jay rushed to my side and touched my shoulder. "Easy," he whispered. I moved my hands to my stomach in fear. "My baby?" I asked in a husky voice. "Look to your left," he whispered. I hesitantly turned and looked. A nurse was standing there, smiling at me with a baby in her arms wrapped in a beautiful pink blanket. "Is that my..." "Child, yes. The little princess is a warrior. She made it, just like you did," he said softly as I swallowed a lump in my throat and looked at him angrily. He slowly dropped his hand and sat down at the edge of the bed next to me. "Debby, I want to apologize for..." "I want to hold her," I said, cutting him off seriously. "Of course," the nurse answered and quickly moved closer, giving the pup to me. Once she was i
Olivia's POV: Alec drove in silence as I stole a few glances at him. The day quickly went by, and I was so happy that I even forgot about the incident that had happened in town. Micah was fast asleep in the back seat, and that was exactly what I needed because I wanted to talk to Alec in private. I looked at him, then cleared my throat to get his attention. He looked at me for a second, then focused on the road. "Speak," he ordered. "Who was she?" I asked without wasting any time. The atmosphere instantly got tense. "She was someone I fucked once in the past," he answered simply. I felt my heart ache badly at his confession. I shifted my gaze to the window and chose to keep quiet. "Would you have preferred me to lie to you?" he asked. I looked at him coldly, then sighed heavily. "No," I answered in a low tone. "I wouldn't have wanted that as well. That's why I told you the truth. Before I met you, I wasn't righteous in any way. I drank and fucked around. A few women came
