" dang, i can't believe your family would do that" mecca said angrily
" Me neither" I said in tears. "You can stay with me for as long as you want." She paused for a while as if contemplating what to say next. "On a side note, how did you know where to find James and Liv anyways?" Mecca said curiously. " I got an anonymous message" I said absentmindedly " From who?" Mecca asked "I don't know and I don't care. What matters is that my sister is a bitch" I said angrily " Don't want to be that girl but.... I told ya" she said " That is not helping mecca" I said annoyed " Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to upset you" she said I layed on the bed and tried falling asleep but my mind was restless. The days I spent at Mecca's place we're horrible, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat and my tan skin was becoming like paper. My hormones was all over the place and I had missed my monthlies because of the stress. Mecca said it was a withdrawal syndrome, my body and mind had been so used to doing what my parents want that when I finally decided to leave and be myself, my body is having a hard time adjusting to the change. Mecca had no experience in psychology but somehow what she said made sense to me. "You can't keep living like this Claire" mecca said one morning "Go away mecca" I said under the duvet "Get your sexy ass up" mecca said while dragging the duvet "No!" I yelled while tugging the duvet with her Mecca finally won the tug of war and the duvet was off. I got up clearly upset and was about to say something when I felt yesterday's dinner coming back out. I rushed to the bathroom and threw up, once I was done, I brushed my teeth and washed my face with warm water. "Claire when was your last period" mecca asked when I got out of the bathroom "It was supposed to be last week but I guess the strain is taking a toll on me" I said "Claire?" Mecca said with a look on her face " No no no......it is definitely not what you're thinking. I missed my period all the time in highschool and college, I was always stressed" I said in defence " We're you and James you know.... Safe?" she asked unsure "James and I never had sex" I scoffed at how ridiculous her question was. "Oh right" she said in realization "I'm not pregnant mecca, it's just strain" I said "Then what about Mr. One night stand huh" she said My eyes widened in realization and my already pale face became paler. "Claire, did you use a condom with him" she asked slowly while looking at me with fear "I....I.... Don't know" I said "Claire! How could you be so irresponsible" mecca yelled "I was drunk mecca and I wasn't thinking about all that stuff in that moment" I argued back "Oh we are fucked" mecca said "I might not be pregnant, it could just be a false alarm right" I said "There's only one way to find out" mecca said Mecca had a pregnancy kit in her bathroom and made use of it. My blood became like ice when I saw the two lines on the stick, I placed my hand on my stomach and I had never felt so afraid. "You're gonna be okay Claire" mecca reassured me " What am I gonna do mecca" I said in tears. "You need to tell the father" mecca said " Tell him! I don't even know him" I whisper yelled "It's okay, if he ain't here then I am okay" mecca said Mecca held me in her arms as I cried my heart out. I used her curly black hair as a curtain to hide my face. " If you don't want it, we can always take it out" Mecca said "Take it out? It's not garbage mecca. This is a baby, a person" I said "Then do you want to keep it. What about your family and the press" mecca asked me worriedly "I don't give a fuck about what my family thinks. This is my baby and I am it's mother" I said "Okay. But you can't raise it here you know. The press are going to be all over your business when they find out you're pregnant and it's not for James." She said " Then I need to leave. I could go somewhere where no one knows me and live there for a while till everything dies down" I said " Yeah that's a good idea" mecca agreed " Then I'm leaving first thing tomorrow. I'm gonna book plane tickets" I said " So fast" mecca said surprised " Yeah I need to be fast. I do not want me nor my baby to be close to anything or anyone that is toxic and unhealthy. What do you think my parents are going to do once they find out about this" I said " Yeah you're right. You have awful parents Claire" mecca said " I know and that's why I need to be a better parent to my baby" I said while rubbing my stomach " You're going to make an amazing mother Claire. I just know you will" mecca said with a smile on her face " I hope so too coz I am terrified of this whole change" I said " You will do just fine Claire" mecca reassured I booked the plane tickets immediately and the next day I left. Mecca wanted to come with me but she couldn't quit her job, she had to stay. I was going to start afresh with my baby in a place where no one knew who I was. I wanted to keep my baby safe especially from my family. I rubbed my stomach unconsciously as the plane took off. " It's just me and you now my love. Just me and you" I saidI arrived in a town that barely had acess to the internet, there was more woods than there were people. Everyone knew everyone and they could tell immediately that I was an outsider.I got a two bedroom apartment and decided to get a job. I was wealthy and had enough money to last me for a lifetime but I still needed to do something to keep myself busy. I applied to work in a restaurant as their manager and they felt that I was overqualified but I didn't care. I did tell him that I was pregnant and he was okay with it.I got acquainted with some of the town folks and they seemed to like me genuinely.Months went by and I had already began to show.Surprisingly, I kept craving meat all the time and no matter how much I ate, I was never satisfied. Strange things kept happening to my body and I knew that some of them were not normal. women became tired while pregnant but I was the opposite, I always had more energy than most people and I started doing things I couldn't do before. I was
The drive was a very long and bumpy one. My son Kayden was at the back seat sound asleep, while I drove with no idea where I was going, there was only woods everywhere. I arrived at my destination and was surprised when I saw no one there, I almost thought I had been lied to, until five hefty men came out of the woods with nothing but shorts." Who are you?" They asked in a commanding voice" I'm Claire smith" I said eyeing all of them up and down suspiciously. The pepper spray was In my back pocket and my car door was locked with Kayden inside sound asleep." What business do you have here human?" Asked the ginger haired guyHuman? That means I'm at the right place." I need to speak with the alpha" I saidThey seemed surprised that I knew what an alpha was. " What do you need our alpha for?" They asked" I need help with my son. He is...uh" how was I going to say this without sounding stupid" What happened to your son" said the blonde one" can I just speak with the alpha....pleas
After alpha duncan had taken both my son and me in, we were later taken to a cottage very close to the pack house. Alpha Duncan said it was very dangerous for me to be living directly in the pack house considering the fact that wolves get angry easily and were very wild. The cottage wasn't grand but it was comfortable and cozy."This is our new home now" I said to my son with a smile on my face.***************FIVE YEARS LATER**"Kayden! Kayden!" I yelled at the top of my lungsI was starting to panic even though I knew that he was obviously fine. A few minutes ago I had left him with Martha, only to come back with him gone and eighty years old Martha asleep in a rocking chair. I had just needed to get some groceries but I didn't want to take Kayden with me because he always threw tantrums when we got to the toy section, even if we were just walking past it."Have you seen Kayden?" I asked Tracy the pack doctor and my closest friend. She was in the pack hospital with a patient who
I was already done making breakfast by the time Kayden woke up. He came out of his bedroom in his pyjamas while rubbing his eyes with his hands."Good morning mummy" he said while giving me a kiss"Good morning baby" I replied. "Are those pink pancakes" he said excitedly I smiled a knowing smile and wiggled my eyebrows, he squealed and ran to take one off the plate."Kayden!" I scolded "did you brush your teeth"He gave me the cutest smile ever and I felt my heart melt. Nope! Nope not gonna work this time."No pancakes until you brush your teeth okay Mr." I said with my hands on my hips.After breakfast, we decided to binge watch one of Kayden's favorite shows. By the time it was midday, Kayden was becoming restless, he wanted to go outside."Mommy it will only be for five minutes I promise" he said with large doe eyes "Baby I said no. Please listen to mummy" I said"But I'm not gonna go too far" he whinedI could understand how hard being cooped up in a house was for Kayden. Wolve
The unmated wolves were fangirling over him but I didn't care. My son was my uttermost priority.The hall became noisy again as they all tried to get his attention, I suddenly felt bad for Abigail, I had made her loose her opportunity but what else could I have done. I made a mental note to pay her back more than I should, as long it was about my son I would go to the ends of the world for him."I'll send the rest of paperwork to you" said an unfamiliar yet familiar voice. I felt a chill go through my spine at the sound of the voice"No problem your majesty." Said alpha DuncanYour majesty? Was this person royalty? No wonder the unmated wolves wanted a piece of him. I didn't know everything about the wolf world but I've stayed long enough to know that there is a system of hierarchy that is way more strict than the human world. The only set of wolves higher than an alpha is the royal family, they have lived for ages and unlike normal wolves, they do not age. The royal family are the
I stood still as if I had been dowsed with a bucket of cold water. Alpha Duncan, his beta and Jacobi were all in alpha Duncan's office, we had left the hall to his office for a more private discussion after the commotion we had caused earlier."This is very difficult to believe" alpha Duncan said in wonder " I always knew Kayden must be the son of a powerful wolf but I didn't expect......" He looked at Jacobi and then at me " this is just hard to believe""But it did so deal with it" Jacobi said"I'm sorry your majesty, I didn't mean to offend you in any way" alpha Duncan pleaded, bowing his head slightly. I had never seen him bow to anyone before, and this was quite shocking to see.Jacobi didn't even spare him a glance and just turned to me."Get your things, we're leaving immediately" he said in a tone that left no room for questions. But I wasn't a little dog that needed an owner, so I was gonna ask questions."What do you mean get your things?" I askedHe raised an eyebrow at m
My fingers trembled a little as I began to pack Kayden's clothes into his bag. What alpha Duncan had said about Jacobi had made me a little bit terrified of him."Mommy where are we going?" Kayden askedI knelt down in front of him and touched the ends of his black hair, thesame as Jacobi's."We're moving honey" I said"Are we leaving the pack?" He asked with tears in his eyes"Yes baby, but you can come visit whenever you want okay." I said and he nodded in response "Okay mommy " he said with a smile "but I'm still gonna miss everyone""Don't feel sad baby. Everything is okay" I said while wrapping him in my arms. I didn't want my son to feel so sad about leaving but we had to, this was the right thing to do I guess. Every child needs his father as much as he needs his mother."Kayden I need to tell you something really important" I said cautiously "What is it" he asked curiously I took a deep breath to brace myself for what I was about to tell him. Kayden had met Jacobi but he di
I furrowed my brows "what do you mean OUR room?" I asked"It's as simple as it is babygirl" he said"Okay I know I didn't say anything before we left the pack, but I need to make this clear to you. We are not sharing a room together" I said enunciating every word clearlyHe took a step closer to me like a predator, his enormous frame was caging me in, leaving no room for escape. My heart rate quickened and my throat went dry, a feeling of dread began to creep into me as I was a prey. His prey."Listen here babygirl" he whispered in my ear. I could feel his hot breath fanning my skin and a tiny part of me, a part that was buried deep within felt a sudden rush that tightened a knot in my stomach. Memories of that night began to resurface but I quickly dismissed them. "a lot of wolves, even the ones with mates would do anything to be in my bed. So you better do as you're told" he saidI was suddenly brought back to the present. What the heck! Who the fuck does he think he is? He might
Jacobi had made it clear earlier that there was no room for debate, but I couldn't deny the knot I felt in my stomach. I was afraid of how things would look like if it went badly, but I was trying not to think about that."Jacobi would keep both of us safe" I whispered to my reflection in the mirror. I couldn't explain why or how, but I somehow trust him. It was hard to place my finger on the feeling, but I knew in my gut that if he says I'm safe then I'm safe.There was an annual gathering for all pack leaders, Jacobi said I would make my introduction there. The party will be filled with high ranking wolves and I would be the only human.I heard a loud knock at the door and I quickly opened it."Come in" I said, moving to the side so that they could come in"I am ava, your artist" she said with a flair " and this is Jean, my assistant" she made a gesture to the blonde man by her side. He smiled shyly at me and pushed his glasses higher on his face.Ava layed several dresses on the be
I was In the kitchen making lunch for Kayden while Beatrice sat down on the kitchen stool with a scowl on her face. She had wanted to cook for us but I told her to sit down and let me do the cooking. She didn't like it because according to her ' she would be equivalent to a table' if I didn't let her help me, but I ignored her completely."Your majesty please let me help" Beatrice pleaded with a sad look on her face."Beatrice you need to relax, No one is going to kill you if you let me do this. Besides, I love cooking" I said with a wink"His royal majesty might kill me or worse fire me" she said with so much seriousness that I wanted to laugh at how ridiculous it seemed. Since when did getting fired become way worse than getting killed."That's just ridiculous bea" I said using her nickname.She pouted like a child and I laughed in amusement. Talk about being a workaholic.I finished making lunch and served it on the table. Kayden squealed happily as I gave him a huge plate of foo
I went to the bathroom to change and I opened the duffel bag to see a red floral dress and under wear.Did he pick these out himself? Even the under wear?. I put them on and they were all surprisingly my size. How did he know my size so well? "I'm ready" I announced as I walked out of the bathroom. The look I'm his eyes when he saw me, made me feel a certain way. He ran his eyes all over my body, stripping me naked with his eyes."You're so beautiful" he said almost breathlessly"Thank you" I blushed. I cleared my throat " let's go"It turns out the royal hospital was only five minutes away from Jacobi's mansion. We got to his house and I didn't even wait for him to get out of the car before I rushed into his mansion to see my son."Kayden!" I called out"Mommy!" He squealed happily as he ran to meet me. I carried him in my arms as I swung him around."My baby boy, God I've missed you so much" I said with so much joy ""I missed you more" he said"I'm here now okay and I'm not going
A feeling of relief washed over me the moment I heard his voice. Finally Kayden was safe, I didn't need to hold on anymore."Your majesty, this human snuck into your house and I'm getting rid of her." Liliana said with a victorious smile on her face, as if she had won the lottery.One minute he was standing by the door way, the next minute he was kneeling beside me. Kayden used his nose to push my head to the side and I tried to smile to reassure him that I was okay, everything was fine. He whimpered and I knew that was a wolves way of crying."Claire can you hear me?" Jacobi asked worriedly "I'm... I'm okay. You need to get....Kayden out of here" I said "Stop talking, I'm gonna take you to a doctor" he saidHe knelt down and picked me up in his arms, bridal style. Kayden then shifted into his human form and that was when I saw the tears that were streaming down his face."Mommy" he cried"Mommy's gonna be okay Kayden" Jacobi reassured him and I felt grateful that he said that."Bea
"who are you?" I asked back. She was shocked by my reply " you silly disgusting little human have some nerve don't you?" She spat angrily Did she seriously just say that? She just met me and she's already insulting me? Wow!"And you're a silly disgusting dog" I retorted. I'm the kind of person who was nice to only people who were nice to me. If you wanna be a bitch to me then two can play at that game.She looked at me in shock, it seemed as if this was the first time a human had talked back to her, much less insulted her. I ignored her completely and continued eating my breakfast like no one was there.She moved so fast that I didn't even notice her movement until she was right in front of me, snatching my plate and throwing it on the floor. It broke into a million pieces from the sheer force she had used."What the heck!" I gasped "Now you listen to me you irritating pest, I'm gonna give you three seconds to scurry out of this house before I fucking shred your body into pieces
I furrowed my brows "what do you mean OUR room?" I asked"It's as simple as it is babygirl" he said"Okay I know I didn't say anything before we left the pack, but I need to make this clear to you.
