~ Victoria/Anna ~I didn’t expect a miracle to happen overnight, yet it hurt to hear such a harsh rejection from Constantine’s father. I didn’t cower under the Alpha’s scrutiny with his sharp, cold eyes. Constantine has his father’s eyes too. Instead of trembling, I nodded and bowed my head a little. “I understand, Alpha Horace. I know you won’t believe nor value my love for Cameron, but I will prove to you I deserve to be with him.”Alpha Horace raised his chin. “Oh? How?” He sneered and shook his head. “You’re only bluffing. The easiest way to prove it is to leave him. It’s the best for everyone.”“I can’t do it, Alpha.”“Why? Because you are pregnant with his pup?”I was startled to hear that. Then, instinctively, I placed my hand on my stomach. “I ….”Alpha Horace sighed, then he said, “Follow me.” He glanced at Constantine. “You too.”Both of us followed Alpha Horace, leaving the Great Assembly and entering his house. It is a grand house with a black fence, white wall, and gray
Here is the list of werewolf ranks I use in this story and maybe in the upcoming stories too:1. Alpha (the pack leader). Usually, a pack has only one or two Alpha at maximum. If there are two Alpha, they are the leader and his mate (Luna). The Alpha is the strongest and most influential in the pack. Alpha makes sure all pack members are safe and fulfilled. 2. Beta (second-in-command). Beta is the vice leader of the pack. When Alpha is not present in the pack, the duty to take care of the pack falls on the Beta. Usually, the Beta is the one who is the most trusted by the Alpha. 3. Gamma (Elder). Gamma is usually the senior of the pack. The pack respects them because of their wisdom and special ability. Retired Alpha usually will serve as Gamma. 4. Delta (the messenger). Delta is the one who sends messages to other packs. Therefore, they have to build good relationships with other packs. Because of this role, the Delta can significantly influence other packs and be a threat to the p
I expected Kenneth, or what was his name now?—Michael, Michael Wolfie—would bang on the door, but nothing so far. I exhaled and threw myself on the bed. It was an exhausting day. Meeting with Constantine’s father was difficult. I knew he wouldn’t allow Constantine and me to be together. But it was a mild reaction. Did I still have a chance?I might be asleep for a few minutes. However, when the door opened. I sat immediately, worrying it might be Michael who barged in. It was dark already. Maybe it was night now. But as my eyes spotted my lover at the door, I smiled. “Hey, handsome.”Constantine grinned, threw himself on the bed, and grabbed my waist. Later, he kissed my lips. “Hey, beautiful. Miss me already?”“Not at all! I was asleep.”“Really?” He frowned. “Maybe you should go back to your room then.”I circled my hands to his neck. “Cranky.” Then I peppered kisses on his jaw and neck. “Rough day?”“Well, yes and no. Do you want to hear the good or bad news first?”“Bad news first
~ Constantine/Cameron ~ I kissed her forehead. Her scent made me crazy. I wanted to devour her badly, but then I stopped. “Constantine?” “You are no longer my mistress. If we did it here, my father wouldn’t believe you had been appointed as my housekeeper.” “So?” Victoria’s lovely eyebrows rose, creating a beautiful arc. I touched them with my fingers. “What?” “Nothing. Your eyebrows are beautiful.” “Only my eyebrows?” I chuckled. “My beautiful lady is longing for a compliment. Why didn’t you say so?” She rewarded me with a light punch on my chest. “If I should say it, it would be quite embarrassing.” I laughed again until she silenced me with her kiss. Her hand roamed everywhere and stopped at the lower part of my stomach. Then it went lower. “Victoria, it’s not a good idea.” “How can we give your father a grandpup if we can’t do it?” She moved away from me and hugged herself. “Victoria, that’s not what I meant. We’ll still do it, but not here.” “Oh?” Again, her pretty
~ Victoria/Anna ~“We should wait until Michael leaves,” he said.“What if he stays there until morning? Let’s get out of here. I can’t wait to see your house.”“Wrong!”“What do you mean? Don’t you want to show your house to me?”“It’s our house.” Constantine emphasized the word ‘our’. “It’s no longer only my house.” He kissed the tip of my nose. “I can’t wait to fill our house with our pups.”I blushed and rewarded him with a kiss on his lips. “How many pups do you want?”“At least two, a boy and a girl.”“Then we should hurry. Ignore Michael. Let’s pretend we don’t know he spies on us.” He held my waist with an arm. “Don’t search for him.”“Though I don’t mind if I must kick the jerk again.” I grinned as I caressed Constantine’s jaw.“You kicked him? What did he do to you?” He whispered in my ear.“He cornered me and wanted to kiss my lips.”“He wants his death. So I will beat him until he begs me to kill him.”I shook my head. “Don’t do that. I have killed him in the past. He is h
Finally, we arrived at Constantine’s house. It was a middle-size home with a wood fence and broken white wall. I smiled at him as I poked his waist. “What?” He asked while smiling back at me.“Your taste in choosing the colors is amazing. I feel I have been at home already.”Constantine circled his arms around my waist and whispered, “I’m glad you feel that way. Maybe instinctively, I know I’ll bring my mate here one day.”He showed me to a small garden first. It has some big trees, a swing, and various lovely flowers. It surprised me as I thought I would find primarily red roses as it was common for people to grow red roses in their garden. Instead, they are all white roses, lilies, orchids, daisies, and snowdrops. I blinked as it was indeed unexpected. When I lifted my head to stare at him, Constantine gazed at me too. “What?”“It’s unexpected as you have all white flowers here. Why?”“I have a frustrating dream about a mysterious woman wearing a white dress and the white petal fl
~ Constantine/Cameron ~ Home … every time I was with Victoria, I felt at home. I kissed her lips and exhaled her scent. I think I could die happy here and now. What else does a man need? Nothing else mattered when a beautiful, strong, loyal, courageous, and intelligent woman was beside him. But before I could do anything else, my father suddenly called me. ‘Cameron, come to my working room.’ ‘Yes, Father. I’ll be there in a half hour from now.’ Victoria tickled my ears, and I laughed. My father immediately snapped, ‘Now, Cameron. We need to discuss an urgent matter.’ ‘What is it, Father? About Lisa? We have discussed this, and Nate will be my replacement, right?’ ‘It’s not that. Come to my room quickly.’ I kissed Victoria’s forehead. “My father called me. It’s urgent. I must postpone the fun. But rest assured, I will return as quickly as possible.” “Okay, I understand. Now, go! I will warm your bed and wait for you to come home. But if you are late, I don’t promise I’ll still
I sighed and wondered if I had to tell my father the truth. But rebirth wasn’t a concept familiar to everyone. Would my father think I was crazy? Would he think I made up a story? But telling the truth was the best policy, even if he wouldn’t believe me. “Well? I’m waiting.” My father’s voice snapped me from my wandering mind. “What I want to tell you may be something you won’t think as rational, possible, or even real. But I swear to the Highest One; it’s the truth.” “Go on.” I took a deep breath. “Anna and I were couples in the past—past life, to be more accurate. We experienced a rebirth. I am reborn as Cameron Black, your son, and so is Anna. She is reborn as Anna Warren. I was Constantine Night in the past life, a royal werewolf, while Anna was Victoria Lewis. She was my mistress.” My father said nothing for a few minutes. He might suspect I lied. But after a while, he said, “Tell me more about your past life.” “I was rich and evil. I enjoyed Anna; she was pregnant with my
~ Lisa ~ Susanne entered my room in a rush. Her face was gloomy. “Miss Lisa, we must leave the pack immediately.” I raised my eyebrows. “Why? What’s wrong?” Susanne opened my cupboard, packed some of my clothes there. “Alpha Cameron came with his troop. It’s better for you to stay somewhere safe. If all have been calm, we can return here.” I let out a sigh. Susanne might be right. Rubbing my belly, going elsewhere would ensure my pup’s safety rather than staying here. So, I took my handbag, filling it with my jewelry and some gold plates I had. Then Susanne and I walked to the garden, and after passing the secret passage, we were already outside of our pack. We walked without conversing, as I was nervous. Hopefully, nothing bad would happen in our pack. We headed to the Dark Forest where my family had a small house there. Susanne unpacked the luggage and put my clothes in the cupboard there. I checked the table and the food buffet. The stock was full. I let out a sigh of relief
Cameron let out a heavy sigh again. “Yesterday, I killed Lisa and Bill’s father. I didn’t plan it, but he attacked me from the side. Bill saw his father die and attacked me too.” He put his chin on my head. “Did Bill … die too?” I asked, wondering if it’s the reason Nate was so gloomy lately.“No, I put him in the dungeon. I don’t want to kill him because it will add more heartache for Lisa. However, letting him alive will be dangerous.”“Why?” I clenched my hand. “He raped me a few times in the past life and turned me into a vampire. In the current life, he tried to rape me again, even he asked our former Elder to pay someone to kidnap me.” Shaking my head, I blew my breath. “If Michael sent me to Bill, for sure Bill would rape me again. He seems to have a distorted idea about love, as he thought loving me was a good reason to rape me. He said it was his expression of love.” Shuddering because of that, I hugged Cameron more tightly because it was too frightening to think how someon
Cameron brought me to our bedroom. There were white rose petals too on the bed. I glanced at my mate. Before I said anything, he kissed my lips. I giggled and caressed his hair. “You made me forget what I wanted to ask.”He grinned and kissed the tip of my nose. “Oh? Let me kiss you again. Maybe you will remember what you want to ask.” He bent his head and captured my lips in a deep kiss. This time, it wasn’t a short kiss as he didn’t stop the kiss. But he laid me on the bed, inserted his tongue in my mouth, and teased me until I moaned. “Now, do you remember what you wanted to ask?” Cameron grinned, rubbing my face with his thumb slowly. “If you keep kissing and touching me, how can I remember?” I giggled and pinched his hard and flat stomach. “Wait for a minute! I want to ask you something. Ah, the rose petals! Did you prepare them yourself?”He took a deep breath and shook his head. “Sadly, I didn’t do it. It was Mimi and Melanie’s initiative. Since they wanted to give us a rom
Then it was time for me to say my pledge. I held both of Cameron’s hands. He lifted my veil, then held my hands, and kissed the wrists. When he looked me in the eye, his stare was tender but intimate. I blushed, knowing it was a promise of a lifetime he gave me to be by my side. I took a deep breath as my heart was about to burst with so much happiness. He squeezed my hand, and I smiled, knowing that we would be together after I said my pledge. Then, closing my eyes, I finally smiled. “Cameron Black, from the first time I saw you, I had already known you would always have my heart. Though our journey wasn’t easy, it’s like a dream come true to stand beside you.” I looked around at our pack members. “Now, we are in the middle of our pack to say our commitment to each other.”Then I could hear the bawl of pups. Trying to find out who cried, I grinned to see Irene and Julianna carry my pups. “Then having our twins,” I shed my tears. Cameron immediately gave me his handkerchief. I wiped
After breastfeeding my pups, I patted their backs to burp them. Then I let Irene and Julianna bring them back to their room. Later, the Rhos came with my mild green dress. Mimi helped me to wear the dress. Then, another Rhos came with two boxes. The first was a white roses garland. The second was a set of white diamond necklace with white rose shape as its pendant, the matching diamond earrings, and bracelet.I gasped to see the jewelry. It was elegant and beautiful. A Rho smiled and said, “It’s from our Alpha, mistress. He hoped you would wear it today. Our Alpha has another set of heritage jewelry from his great grandmother to his grandmother and his mother, but he wanted you to wear a new jewelry set for today.”Taking my breath, I nodded. The jewelry was lovely. It fit for a Luna. After wearing the jewelry, I gasped again. “Is it something wrong, mistress?” A Rho asked. I shook my head. My tears damped my cheeks. “The jewelry … They fit with my dress.”“It’s because our Alpha as
As I requested, Cameron didn’t ask for me to mate with him. We even slept in different rooms tonight. It might be weird as we had done it so many times, even though we had already had our pups. However, I wanted to start our days as the official mates of a new thing regardless it was only an illusion. I still wanted to create a new beginning. My past life was filled with so many tragedies. The current life was a redemption. I didn’t know if I could be a good Luna for our pack, but with Cameron and our pups, I felt I could do anything. Also, I had Nate, Melanie, and Mimi who supported me too. I guessed the Rhos and Mus would help me too in doing my roles. I felt a strong connection with them when they helped prepare my big day. Ah, also, the Theta and Iotas. Wait, I forgot a few crucial people—my future father-in-law and Elder Tom. I let out a long sigh. Cameron’s father was a person who completely changed his mind toward me. It was drastic, from taking me in prison to accepting me a
~ Anna/Victoria ~After laying on the bed for a couple minutes, Cameron and I finally went to the next room. It was decorated in yellow, as I didn’t know if our pup would be a boy or a girl. What a surprise to know we had both. We must prepare another room soon so our pups could have their own rooms from now on. Cameron touched my cheek as I was deeply engrossed in my thoughts. “What are you thinking, love?”“We need to prepare another room so Gavin and Belle can have their own rooms. What do you think?”He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my neck. “It’s a good idea, but as they are still newborns, we will have more time until they are one or two years old.”I nodded. “I know, but decorating both rooms will be a new activity for me.”Cameron kissed my shoulder and bit it a little. “I have many activities for you, even for now, my darling.” His hand touched my breast to show what he meant. I only giggled, as mating with him was always fun, satisfying, and fulfilling. So, I
After Nate arrived at the Wild Wolves Pack, I introduced him to Elder Ralph and left Nate to get to manage the pack, as I couldn’t wait to hug and kiss Anna. I smiled as I wanted to see our pups too. The trip to go back to my pack seemed longer than I expected. When we passed a few shops, I asked the driver to stop. I headed to the flower shop first. Looking around there, I picked white roses for Anna. Waiting for the florist to wrap them in a pretty bouquet, I walked to a baby shop next to the flower shop. At first I wanted to buy dolls for my twins, but they were newborn. So, it would be useless. Finally, I picked up a set of pajamas, socks, shirts, and pants. I asked the shopkeeper to wrap them in a box. When I returned to the flower shop, the bouquet was ready. My driver helped me to bring the gift box to the car. Then I placed the bouquet on the box. Hopefully, Anna would like it. I was clueless why I didn’t choose the red roses. Probably it was because of my dreams. I didn’t
I looked around to ensure they listened to me. “I don’t want to make unnecessary conflict, especially as we have a peace treaty.” Shaking my head, I sighed. “I didn’t blame Lisa either, as she was the victim of this matter. However, if her father didn’t drug her, none of this would happen.”Then Elder Fred stepped forward and stood beside his son. He sneered at me and laughed. “Still trying to find a scapegoat, huh? It’s all started with you! If you didn’t agree to be my daughter’s mate, it wouldn’t happen. How dare you humiliate us twice?!”“I have explained everything. But you kept pushing your agenda.” Then I straightened my back and glanced at him. “The worst thing is you used your daughter as a tool for your own game. You didn’t think of her as your daughter or pack member.” I shook my head. “I pitied her to have a father like you, but the most regrettable is she has two alphas who did the same to her, regardless they are her family.”“Enough of this bullshit!” Elder Fred said. “
