Kylie's POV."Kylie!" Maggie cried out angrily when the doctor's head hit the wall, she struggled to get up from the bed, "What is wrong with you?" She looked me in the eye, glaring at me."You Whore!" I cursed at her. I regretted saying those words immediately I said it. She turned around to look at me, Maggie hated words like that and it must have hurt her that I would use words like that on her but I just couldn't control myself, I was angry at everyone and at everything. Even more angry at her for faking her illness.She stood up from the bed, clutching the blanket to her chest, oblivious or unconcerned about the fact that from her waist down, she is naked. She held the blanket tightly, pulling it out of the bed and onto the floor, it trailled behind her as she moved towards me quickly, before I could open my mouth to apologise for what I had said, she slapped me across my face.The doctor who had recovered and was busy poking at his jaw in pain, gasped when Maggie slapped me. I c
Oma's POV.Kylie's words hurt me more than I had expected, I wanted him to give me the permission to carry on with the mission. I wanted to be the one that would find his mate and bring her to him, I felt like a failure after the events of the day.I rushed out of the room, afraid of the tears that would rush down my face if I wanted any longer. I rushed to Yara's room, since Mauris and her were in mine, I would have to spend the night in hers to give them some privacy even though Mauris was still unconscious.I fell into her bed, my mind nagging at me for being such a failure and causing Kylie the Golden opportunity that appeared before him, the one clean shot he had at getting back his throne.I stuffed my face into my pillow, screaming out in frustration.My mind because filled with the image of Kylie's bare chest, how his large, strong arms wrapped around me when he lifted me up from my knees. His thick voice and his eyes all over me. It's been a while I had sex with anyone, other
Mauris POV.I opened my eyes to find myself in Oma's room, I had no idea what happened after my dad left me. I tried to turn but the pain in my sides wouldn't let me, the bandage on my chest had just been changed, I could feel it, it felt fresh and wasn't wet like last night. My throat burned, I am very thirsty. I looked beside me to check if Oma or the doctor or a maid had generously left a jug of water besides me, instead of just water, I found a whole breakfast set arranged in a tray. Pancakes with maple syrup, some fruits in a bowl and a glass of orange juice, a flower vase was carefully placed inside the tray along with the food. I sat up on the bed, resting my back against it, then I noticed Yara, fast asleep at the foot of the bed. She sat on a chair but her head, rested on the bed. I smiled at how relaxed and peaceful she looked right now. I pushed back the hair that had covered her face and tried not to make any noise as I ate my breakfast, she must have been here all night
Oma's POV.I walked down the stairs into the underground hideout of snake. I entered a poor lit pathway that smelt of sewage, the light bulbs flickered off and on as the insects around it buzzed. I kept walking straight, towards the end of the tunnel covered in a long, thick cloak that made it impossible to make out my stature, face, hair and complexion. Snake, a mercenary for hire had been one of my good friends while I trained to join the army, he created this underground channel to interact with his customers.He calls himself snake because of his ability to slitther in and out of places without being seen, just like a snake and the man did have the attributes of one, he was smart and dangerous. I knew he is the only one that could carry out this job efficiently but at the same time, I knew it would be very risky to trust him.I kept walking until I came out in front of a large metal door, a CCTV camera hung high above the door. I raised my middle finger at it and the door buzed op
Yara's POV.The next day, Mauris looked and sounded health enough to move around. I escorted him back to his room, after waking Oma up and thanking her profusely for all that she had done. I didn't think she was listening to us but I didn't read much into it. On our way to his room, he still leaned on me but didn't rest his weight entirely on my body, his other arm rested on the bandage as if he was trying to keep his guts from spilling out.Mauris made a joke about my fragile body and I laughed out loud, I looked up and found Kylie standing in front of us, the smile on my face vanished immediately even Mauris's smile disappeared. We stood there for a few seconds, looking at each other, hoping that Kylie would not decide to let himself loose right here. I felt Mauris body tighten against mine."Kylie." Mauris whispered, barely audible. He must be very surprised to see him just yet. Not like we were planning to avoid him for long but we had hoped that we would have a couple of hours to
Kylie's POV.This morning, I had an early morning with the farmers that had requested a re schedule since the hall we had choose for the meeting had issues before we could use it. I asked of my intels to look into it because it sounded suspicious that one of the best conference rooms in town would suddenly have technical issues just when I am supposed to have a meeting discussing the new decision of the Alpha to sell off agricultural produce to foreigners.The farmers had been more than happy to discuss the situation with me rather than my Uncle. My Intel returned with news, I was right, Uncle Theon had a hand in it. He had met with the owner of the place and requested that he didn't allow us us it, pictures were provided as evidence, including a tape of the owner confessing to it all. I had known that Uncle Theon wouldn't just stand by and let me do my thing but I wasn't about to back down now.I called my secretary and booked another meeting in another venue and ensured that the far
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
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
