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
Alec's POV: I was awakened by a light knock at my door. I blinked a few times, then looked at Olivia, who was sleeping soundly next to me. Although she looked peaceful while asleep, there was a red shade below her eyes from crying. "Did we overdo it with her?" I silently asked Luther. "Yes, you took her savagely," he answered without hesitation. I groaned softly, then shifted to the side and sat upright at the edge of the bed. Who knew that our kiss could lead to sex and me marking her? All I wanted was to be closer to her than I already was. I had no idea she would encourage me to touch her more. I stood up and went to the wardrobe, pulling it open and grabbing a clean shirt and trousers. "I'm coming, Alpha," I mind-linked him while I dressed up. I could tell it was him by his scent. I walked to the door and lazily opened it. "You should have mind-linked me, Alpha, instead of coming here," I said once my gaze fixed on him. "You reek of sex," he pointed out the obvious. "T
Olivia's POV: For some reason, I believed his words even though I wanted to think of him as a liar. He had been lying to me for a while, but I couldn't bring myself to hate him or think of him in a bad way. "So, you're really a werewolf, and I'm what you call a mate?" I asked seriously. He sadly nodded, then tried to smile. "Yes, if you want, I can shift right here in front of you and show you," he answered. "No, that won't be necessary," I said seriously, as he looked at me in astonishment. "You believe me?" he asked, raising his voice. "Yes, I do," I answered softly, then looked at Micah, who was fast asleep in my arms. I stood up with her and walked to the side, carefully placing her on the bed and covering her. When I looked back at Alec, who was still kneeling, I sighed softly, then went to him and extended my hand. "You can't kneel forever. Stand up," I whispered. "Thank you," he answered, taking my hand and standing up. "Is it alright for me to take a walk? I want t
Debby's POV: "We're here," Jay said softly as he opened the door to an apartment. "Come on in," he said, then walked in with his hand still on the door to keep it open. I hesitated but entered with the pup in my arms. I still didn't understand why he refused to take me back to the beach house when it was my home. No matter what I said, his response was always the same: no. He shut the door behind us, then moved closer and wrapped his arm around my shoulder while I looked around with a smile. The place looked somewhat expensive yet very welcoming. The living room was like something out of a movie, and it made my heart beat rapidly. "Whose apartment is this?" I asked seriously. "Mine," he answered simply. I looked at him seriously, giving him a cold glare. I wasn't joking around with him. "I'm telling you the truth. This is my apartment, or should I say my building. When I was in college, I refused to go back and forth from home to class. My parents, who were very concerned ab
Debby's POV: I was woken up by loud noises and voices coming from the living room. I yawned and then sat upright to look at my pup. I spent most of my hours looking after her, making sure that she was resting well and being fed whenever she was about to cry. I even changed her diapers twice. It was early, yet I was getting used to taking care of her. "Leave!" Jay's voice came on. I quickly got out of bed and walked out of the room with a pounding heart. Who could upset him this morning? Was it his brother? I wondered. When I walked into the living room, I instantly regretted it. An elderly woman who stood in front of him looked at me with a glare on her face, while the elderly man gave me a bored look. "Oh, I see. Is it because of her?" she asked as I frowned. "She has nothing to do with anything, and didn't you hear me? Stop acting like a bitch and get the fuck out, mother!" he yelled, shocking me. Mother? Was he talking so disrespectfully to his own biological mother? I k
Jay's POV: "I'm sorry," I apologized softly. "Over what?" she asked simply. "My parents. Not only did they show up unannounced, but they also acted way too familiar around you. They must have made you feel uncomfortable," I answered. "What? No way. I was so happy to meet them. Also, they were so cheerful and friendly to me. To be honest, I would love to visit them someday, so they could meet Daisy," she said. "Really?" I asked softly, then moved closer and held her hands in mine. "Yes, really. If she wasn't sleeping, I would have brought her to the living room so they could meet her," she answered. I smiled and pulled her into my embrace. She was truly a living miracle in my life. Not only was I now on good terms with my parents because of her, but I was also happier. "I really don't know what I did to deserve you. You are just so good, honest, and loving," I whispered softly. She pulled back and looked me in the eyes with a sad expression on her face. "What's wrong?" I as
