Oma's POV.It's been a couple of days since the council meeting, a lot has been going on in the house. Mauris and Kylie avoided themselves like a plague and refused to talk about each other neither do they talk to each other. Alpha Theon seems to be using the opportunity to cook up something, Kylie's mandatory days off had not ended so I couldn't ask for his permission to investigate Alpha Theon without upsetting him so I patiently waited, counting the days eagerly. Maggie and Yara had developed an inseperably bond that even I couldn't break, they did a lot of things together, Maggie taught Yara how to ride and Yara, who surprisingly had many skills, taught Maggie how to go rabbit hunting in the woods nearby.No one saw Kylie these days, he moved around the house like a ghost and stuck to his room like glue except when he was heading out. I knew he is avoiding us on purpose and I didn't blame him for it but I am worried about him, the maids complained frequently that his temper was be
Oma's POV Continued.I turned around to look at snake with a smile on my face. His name hasn't always been snake, there was a time when he still worked for diamond pack and his name was Lucian, Lucian Greyhound. I had been so dumb to think that I could fool a mercenary like snake, he was well known for being so observant that nothing ever slipped past him unchecked or unknown. He was the favorite of the former Alpha and his Luna, Kylie's mother and father. After the incident happened, he refused to pledge his allegiance to Alpha Theon and was kicked out of the pack. "You're not surprised how I found you?" I asked, returning to my seat besides him."I shouldn't be, I taught you well." A small smile dancing on his lips. He had been when tutor when I was training for the army. At that time, he was the only person that could see through me that I wasn't joining the army out of a sense of duty or whatever other warriors joined for, he knew I was doing it for Kylie and he tried to talk me
Yara's POV.I watched Mauris wounds heal and his usual cheerful smile return. He spent almost every hour of his day with me, making sure I had enough to eat and that no one dared to challenge my right to stay in the house. The council wasn't planning of letting us off the hook, a few days after the last council meeting and the conversation with Alpha Theon, the council sent a message that Mauris and I were to appear before the disciplinary panel to sort out the issue at hand.Mauris didn't seem bothered about it at all, he simply went on his business trips and meeting. As for him and Kyle, their friendship had never been worse, they avoided themselves easily, I had never been more uneasy with myself, the fact that I didn't have to do what Alpha Theon asked but watching them do it for me and felt oddly at ease, made me feel horrible about myself."Babe!" A gentle voice said in my head. I knew who it was immediately, the link between our minds had grown stronger ever since the day he ma
Mauris POV.Earlier this morning, I woke up startled at the noise of my phone buzzing on the drawer besides the bed, I quickly picked it up to avoid waking Yara up, she slept so peacefully in my arms, the mind-blowing sex we had last night must have worn her out. I read the name of the screen, it was my Dad, I relaxed back into the bed as I answered the call, wondering why he would call me so early in the morning."Meet me in my office in a few minutes." His authoritative voice boomed out of the phone. He hung up immediately, not bothering to check if I had heard him or not. I slipped out of bed, without waking Yara up and got dressed. By the time I was done, it was a few minutes after seven. I snuck out of the room, closing the door gently behind me and made my way to the packing lot.A couple of minutes afterwards, I pulled up in front of the headquarters, tossed my keys to the valet and headed inside. The office was still very much empty, not all the employees had resumed their wor
Maggie's POV.Yara and I have spent so much time together that it now feels like she has been here all along. Oma on the other hand seems to be occupied with something even if she is on leave, she has been sneaking around and looking like she is up to something, I just decided to let her do whatever she wants to.I was on my way to Yara's room so that we could go shopping for the new bags that just came out this season when I bumped into Kyle just as I was about to round a corner, he looked like he had just returned from work and was on his way to his room."Oh! sorry about that." I said as I picked up his brief case and handed it back to him."It's fine." He took the brief case from me, all the while not taking his eyes from mine. "What are you up to?" He asked."Nothing much. Just on my way to see Yara." Looking at him now, he doesn't look so fine. His dark eyes now looks even more dark with a depth to it that didn't look nice. "Are you okay?" I asked touching his hand lightly. I f
Kyle's POV.After I bumped into Maggie at home, I returned to the office to get some papers that I had left behind since I needed to go through them. Arriving at the office, I saw a text from the council members that an emergency meeting has been arranged to hold this evening. I didn't know what they wanted to talk about and comfortable with the fact that it was just one of those meetings, I shrugged and headed to my office.I instructed my secretary not to let anyone in until it's time for the meeting. So, when the members had convened in the great hall, she slipped into my office to inform me. I tossed on my jacket and headed there immediately. Not all members were present when I arrived but Mauris and Uncle Theon were already there, I sat at the far side of the table, not wanting to seat any where close to Mauris and his father.The members began to file in one after the other, not long after all the council members were present and the meeting began. Alpha Theon gave the opening s
Oma's POV.Maggie, Yara and I waited patiently for the Kyle and Mauris to arrive. I asked the maids to show them to the game room when they arrived. The girls and I spent our time playing a game of chess, I could tell Yara wasn't with us but I could understand, a closed room filled with powerful men discussing about you can be very unnerving.I don't know how long we've waited in the room but it felt like hours, suddenly the doors flew open and Kyle stood at the entrance, his eyes dark and dangerous. Something must be wrong, his expression only showed that something bad must have happened at the meeting. We all jumped up, looking at his face expectantly. His eyes washed over me, Maggie and then when it rested on Yara, it grew darker. Yara must have noticed it because she moved back to hide behind me."I need to talk to you Oma, alone." He dragged his last word. I nodded and turned to the girls."You should wait here for Mauris." I said to them, they both nodded and Maggie helped Yara
Yara's POV."Why on Earth would you do that?" I yelled at Mauris. He came over to the game room, few minutes after Kyle and Oma left and requested to talk to me in private. I followed him to his room and he narrated all that happened at the council meeting to me."What were you thinking?" I said, pacing the room and nervously twisting my fingers."Relax Yara. It's not like I had a choice." He said, tapping at the side of the bed for me to sit down. I took in a deep breath and went to sit besides him on the bed. "He was going to send you out of the house if I didn't.""But this wasn't Kyle, your father tricked you into this. Oma said Kyle wouldn't try something like that and even Maggie said...""Enough Yara!" Mauris had never raised his voice at me before, so I was a bit startled. "I have had enough of hearing about Kyle and Oma. What were you expecting her to say about a man that she has loved all her life, that he did it?" I didn't know about Oma and Kyle, I have overheard Maggie ma
Mauris POV. The warm glow of the setting sun bathed our cozy cottage as Yara and I stepped through the front door, our hearts brimming with joy. We had just returned from witnessing the union of our beloved sister, Maggie, to the man she truly loved. The air was filled with an electric energy, a tangible reminder of the love and happiness that had enveloped the castle. It was surprising to see how Maggie has changed from the little woman that ran around the house, shoving her body into my face to this beautiful, talented and mature woman. She really blew my mind, especially when she handled the situation with her ex without causing any disturbances.Unable to contain our excitement, Yara took my hand and twirled gracefully around the living room, her laughter filling the air. We danced together, our bodies moving in perfect harmony, as if our souls were entwined in an eternal waltz. In that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the worries and troubles of the world melted away, lea
Maggie's POV.As the sun cast its warm golden glow upon the land, I stood outside the grand entrance of my brother Kyle's imposing castle, hand-in-hand with Derek. The weight of anticipation settled in the air around us, as we prepared to seek his blessings for our union. This meeting held the potential to shape the future, to bridge the gap between our families.With a deep breath, I stepped forward, the heavy wooden doors creaking open to reveal the opulence within. Kyle, the Alpha of our pack, stood tall and formidable, his piercing gaze fixed upon us. Memories of our tumultuous past threatened to resurface, reminding me of the long-standing feuds that had divided our families.Kyle's eyes flickered with a mix of apprehension and lingering resentment as he looked at Derek standing beside me. "I hope you understand, Derek, that this is not a decision I make lightly. The wounds of the past run deep, and I have a responsibility to protect my sister and our pack."Derek's voice remaine
Yara's POV.The morning sun gently filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the cozy cottage that had become our sanctuary. I held my baby close, his tiny hands grasping onto my finger as I soaked in the peacefulness of the moment. Little did I know that a letter, carried by fate's gentle breeze, would soon awaken a yearning within me, one that had long been dormant.As I opened the envelope, a surge of excitement coursed through me. It was a letter from Amelia, the maid who had served the Summerstone family during my childhood. Her words held a precious gift, a piece of my past that I had yearned to reclaim. She revealed the location where my biological parents were buried, a place that held the remnants of my lineage.With a heart filled with anticipation, I shared the news with Mauris, who embraced my desire to visit the gravesite. Together, we made our way to Oma's grand castle. The grandeur of the structure never failed to leave me in awe, a reminder of the desti
Oma's POV.As I held my newborn baby in my arms, a wave of indescribable joy washed over me. The tiny bundle nestled against my chest, his soft breaths creating a sweet melody that resonated deep within my soul. I marveled at the miracle of life, feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude for this precious gift bestowed upon me.In the castle's nursery, bathed in warm sunlight streaming through the window, I sat in a comfortable rocking chair, cradling my little one. The room was adorned with delicate mobiles and colorful toys, creating a whimsical atmosphere that captured the innocence and wonder of childhood. I gently rocked back and forth, lulling my baby into a peaceful slumber.As his eyelids fluttered closed, I studied his delicate features. His button nose, tiny rosebud lips, and wisps of fine hair were a testament to the beauty of new beginnings. Every movement, every sound he made was a testament to his vulnerability, reminding me of the immense responsibility and privilege o
Maggie's POV.A night before she came to the castle,As I drove through the night, the echoes of the heated argument with Simon still reverberated in my mind. The hurtful words and the tense atmosphere lingered, casting a shadow over my heart. Tears welled up in my eyes as I navigated the dark road, seeking solace in the familiarity of my elder brother's castle.When I arrived at Alpha Derek's castle, a mix of anticipation and anxiety washed over me. The sight of another woman by Derek's side, her presence unexpected, stirred an unsettling feeling within me. Lisa. Her name echoed in my mind as I observed their interaction, my heart sinking with a pang of jealousy.Suppressing my emotions, I chose to retreat to the solitude of my assigned room, seeking a moment to collect my thoughts and find some semblance of composure. The door closed behind me with a soft click, enveloping me in a cocoon of solitude and contemplation.As I entered my assigned room, a sense of unease still lingered w
Kyle's POV.As I stepped into our bedroom, a sense of awe and gratitude washed over me. The air seemed to hum with anticipation, and the room was filled with a soft, warm glow. Oma stood by the window, her hands cradling her burgeoning belly. The sight of her radiance filled my heart with joy and wonder."Kyle," she whispered, her voice filled with a mixture of excitement and vulnerability. "Can you believe how far we've come?"I crossed the room and wrapped my arms around her, pulling her close. "No, my love," I replied, my voice thick with emotion. "I still remember the day we met, the battles we've fought, and the love that has carried us through. And now, we are on the precipice of a new chapter in our lives—a child, our child."Tears glistened in Oma's eyes as she leaned her head against my chest. "I never thought I would find such happiness, such love," she whispered.The room seemed to hold its breath as we stood there, caught in a moment of profound connection. Our journey had
Yara's POV.I rushed through the door of our cottage, my heart filled with exhilaration. The baby, our precious little one, had been found, and Gerald was finally captured. The weight that had burdened my soul lifted, replaced by a surge of hope and relief. Oma, my trusted confidante and guardian, awaited me in the cozy living room, her eyes brimming with anticipation."Oma!" I exclaimed, unable to contain my excitement. "They found the baby! Gerald has been captured!"A wide smile graced Oma's weathered face as she enveloped me in a warm embrace. "Oh, dear child, this is wonderful news," she murmured, her voice filled with joy. "Tell me everything."I settled into a chair, cradling the baby in my arms, and recounted the events of the day. The rescue mission, the confrontation with Gerald, and the triumphant return with our little one. Oma listened intently, her eyes shining with pride and admiration.As we reveled in the joyous moment, a sudden commotion erupted outside. The sound of
Mauris POV.The weight of shock and disbelief settled heavily upon me as Yara's words echoed in my mind. Gerald, the long-lost son of my father, Alpha Theon, had emerged from the shadows of secrecy to exact revenge upon our family. It was inconceivable, a twist of fate that threatened to tear apart the fragile tapestry of our lives.I knew I had to act swiftly, to protect Yara and ensure the safe return of our precious baby. Fear and determination mingled within me as I made the decision to take Yara to the safety of Oma's castle. Oma, also known as Luna, had always been a pillar of strength and wisdom in our pack. I trusted her to provide shelter and guidance during this tumultuous time.As we arrived at the castle, I held Yara close, finding solace in the familiar walls that surrounded us. The warmth of Oma's presence enveloped us as she greeted us with open arms, her gaze filled with concern. I relayed the harrowing events that had unfolded, the betrayal that had shattered our live
Yara's POV.The house was filled with the tantalizing aroma of simmering stew as I moved around the kitchen, humming a tune under my breath. It had been a quiet day, and with Mauris away at the council meeting, I found solace in keeping myself busy. The rhythmic clatter of pots and pans accompanied my cheerful melody, filling the air with a sense of contentment.Every now and then, I would steal a glance at the living room where our baby peacefully slumbered in the cozy cot. The soft glow of the afternoon sun filtered through the window, casting a warm embrace over the room. I smiled, grateful for the tranquility that enveloped our little haven on the outskirts of town.As I bustled around the kitchen, preparing a meal for Mauris's return, I felt a sudden prickling sensation at the back of my neck, as if someone was watching me. Goosebumps erupted across my skin, and a cold shiver ran down my spine. I dismissed it as a figment of my imagination and continued my culinary endeavors, try
