ALICIA P.O.VDays passed swiftly and my womb grew faster, the pain got severe but following Helen’s instructions made it bearable. During these few days Helen told me a few about the cost and duration for having the child of a werewolf in someone’s womb.For both werewolf parents, the female werewolf was supposed to give birth after the end of three months but from her explanation, the cost of a human carrying a werewolf in the womb could go the wrong way. She said the human could die in the process and it could take even shorter than three months.I was seated alone on a long bench outside the temple. It was cool weather, the sky was moist and the wind blew softly. Luckily, I wasn’t in so much pain today like usual and that enabled me to think more straight.I remembered all my pleasant experiences with my friends during my stay outside the country. I knew that my mailbox would be full by now. I miss them so much. Even my poor father who is left in the shadows. I needed him by my sid
ALICIA P.O.V "Ahhh…" I screamed when my muscles cramped. My backbone ached terribly as I noticed a loose feeling In my joints. The pain was so severe that I couldn't take a step.Helen and Paul rushed me immediately. I didn’t know what was happening around except for the severe pain I was feeling. I felt someone lift me off the floor and just then the pain took over.The next time I realized myself, I was on the bed. I wailed out again in pain. I felt the baby in my womb but no matter how I tried to push, it would not come out.I could hear noises and chartering sounds. I wanted to speak but I couldn’t, I just could not voice the words."Alicia," The worn out voice resounded in my ears. "Alicia push," At the second sound of the voice I realized that it was Helen.I yelled aloud in pain at another attempt to push the baby out. I felt a painful contraction in my muscles again, all my attempts didn’t pay off so I gave up. I felt a hand rob softly on my belly still with the same words fo
ALICIA P.O.VEverything was dark, I didn’t know how long things would stay this way but taking my last breath didn’t seem pleasant. I knew that it was pain but at that instant I couldn’t feel it anymore. It was all blank, like I was about transiting to a different state.I couldn’t believe that this was how it would all end. Both pleasant and painful memories flashed before my face. Every time I cried, every time I messed up, every time I took the wrong steps. I saw them all. I watched it until the atmosphere changed and I found myself in a beautiful field.It was fair weather and the sky was bright. Wondering where I was I got up from the grass. I looked around and it was all endless fields. While looking around I spotted a lady who seemed my age staring from the distance. I didn’t get a clear image of what she looked like but all I needed was to talk to someone right now.“Hello,” I called but the young lady turned. As soon as she walked away I pursued after her. “Hold on,” I called
ALICIA P.O.VSome minutes later, I walked out of the temple with Marcus. We sat on a long bench outside the compound. The celebration was still going on inside the building and Helen was also with our child.“So… what did you want to talk to me about?” I asked.“I have something to tell you but firstly I need to apologize,” he said.“You have nothing to apologize for Marcus; I have already forgiven you…”“No, it’s not about what I did to Kelvin nor is it about calling Katherine a witch,” he interrupted me. “I want to apologize for calling our son a beast. I didn’t know how much that hurt you and I should not have said something like that considering your position at that time.”“I understand, you were scared that it would cost me my life,” I said to prevent him from continually blaming himself but he would not stop.“I am sorry for leaving you to do this alone…” he continued. Knowing no other way to stop him, I held his hand watching his eyes with understanding.“What you did was terr
MARCUS P.O.V It was hard to survive without my Father, Harold and the rest of my pack members. I also knew that becoming a true Alpha wasn't enough to ensure the safety of my child but I was not ready to return to Catalina Island. I was not ready to face my father after how badly he treated me.I am determined to raise my child without Harold's help but deep down I was also worried if he was wrong or if it was just my pride getting in my way.I could lie to everyone else, I could say that I wasn’t worried about my parents or my pack but I was wrong. I was worried about them, and in fact, those thoughts haunt me in my sleep every night. I couldn’t help but wonder what Luther had been up to during my absence. Has he gotten enough nerves to stand up against Harold, was Gaius still able to protect Harold and Lisa from that lunatic?Those were the things which troubled me but In the end even though I wanted to help, my hands were still tied because Harold would never want to set his eyes
MARCUS P.O.VIt was sunset in the evening and we had a few guests. They were familiar faces and thankfully everyone was aware that I was a werewolf.I knew it would please Alicia so I invited Katherine and Kelvin over but unfortunately Katherine was the only one who showed up. She said Kelvin couldn't make it because he was engaged.I knew it was more than an engagement. I knew he was upset that even despite his attempts to tear us apart we still ended up together.The few people that were present were Stiles, Katherine and Tyler. We were all seated together at the dining table while Emily served the dishes. While having fun we heard the sound of the doorbell."Are we expecting any other visitors?" Alicia asked."Let me check, perhaps it could be Kelvin," Katherine said. Getting on her feet she left for the door. I heard a male voice which sounded familiar and unfortunately when I looked I saw that it was Flynn and Rina.I knew that I had invited them but I didn't know they would make
MARCUS P.O.V This wasn’t good, I knew that Stiles knew about my kind but I was not sure if he knew as much as I thought he knew. The sudden burst of smile over Alicia’s face showed that she was enjoying it.If Stiles doesn't meet Flynn's standards he could feel unqualified to accept my proposal to stand by me as a part of my pack."First question," Flynn mused, staring at Stiles like he was searching for something he couldn't figure out. "How does mating start in werewolves?" "It starts when the werewolf finds and imprints on another werewolf," Stiles answered promptly."Nailed it!" Rina exclaimed and we all laughed."That was simple but I assure you that you won't like the second one.""Let's hear it," Stiles said."Okay. We both know that vampires and werewolves are dreadful enemies but I'd like to know how vampires and werewolves can interbreed?" "There is no mystery to it because you just gave the answer. Despite their differences they can both relate with each other. A hybrid
ALICIA'S P.O.V Throughout the ride I kept thinking about what it will feel like when the moon rises. Before now it all seemed like superhuman beings were a fantasy but at this moment I will not be witnessing one turn but I will be the one feeling those hurting twirls.I could feel the cool evening breeze creep on my skin while staring out through the open car window. The night sky was filled with countless stars. It was a perfect day after all.I am scared but at least it's better that this time I won't be dealing with death. It could be that shape-shifting has a more painful process but if that is what could guarantee the safety of my child then going through those hurting flames would not be as bad as I think.Lost in my thoughts I felt Marcus's warm palm around mine. I turned to meet his stare."Are you nervous?" "No, I'm frightened," I replied."I know, but It will pass," He said."I don't feel like I am strong enough to handle the pain," I said to him and he patted my hands ge
MARCUS P.O.V"You are already engaged?" Emily said in surprise."Yes, mom, but you have nothing to worry about. We have already fixed a date to come visit you in person," She said."That's great news," I said."What about you, Maxwell? Do you have any charming Princess you would like to tell us about?" Zoey asked."No, I haven't really thought about it lately," he replied."Hold on, are you…" "Don't even complete that statement," Maxwell interrupted Zoey. "I've been occupied with other things and I am sure the right time will come." The place was silent for a while. "I'm sorry, I almost forgot how hard it is when viewing the world from your eyes. It must have been dark," Zoey said."It was, but thanks to my parents who gleamed light on me," Maxwell replied. "We haven't told you yet but finding a partner for Maxwell isn't as easy as it is for you if not he would have found one by now," I said. "For humans they get to choose who they want to be with but for werewolves, there can be o
MARCUS P.O.VIt took us thirty minutes to arrive at the main city and as soon as we arrived at the hotel someone was already waiting for us by the door.“You must be Marcus Dominick,” the man said.“Yes I am,” I replied.“Mr. Lucas, is inside, he has been waiting for you, please come with me,” the man said and I followed him inside. Alicia, Maxwell and Stiles were also with me.We went upstairs as we walked through a fancy door which opened up to a large and furnished room. There was a large round table at the center of the room and an elderly man was seated on one of the chairs.“Mr. Lucas, your guests have arrived,” the man who brought us in announced.Lucas’ eyes lit the moment he saw us. “Oh, please take a seat,” he said with a cheerful smile on his face and we all did. “This must be your beautiful wife Alicia Lindsey.”“Yes, she is,” I replied then furrowed my eyebrows in uncertainty. “How did you know?” I asked.He lifts his eyebrows. “Well, news flies these days, especially giv
ALICIA P.O.VIt hurts so much to think I was wrong but it hurts even more to give up trying. I had always fought to have even if it was a moment with my son but now at the verge of losing everything I realized I had made a terrible mistake.I saw his deadly fangs above me; they were ready to rip off my bones. His claws were more painful than anything I had ever felt. I had lost him to the darkness. All these could have been avoided if not for my greed. If I had sacrificed him earlier, I would have been able to save everyone.I was about to take my last breath when I heard a clash. I opened my eyes and Maxwell was off me. I looked sideways to see Marcus struggling to hold him back from getting to me.‘No,’ I thought to myself as I transformed into a human. I struggled on my feet. If anyone had to die while trying to stop him then it would be me.“Maxwell, stop please,” I yelled but my voice ended in a whisper. While approaching, I watched Maxwell hit Marcus severally until he returned
MARCUS P.O.VFinally it’s time, the dark clouds had covered the sky and it was only thirty minutes before the blood moon rises. We were all in the woods, far deep into the island and as far away as possible from the main city.There were a lot of us. Alicia and I were only standing about ten feet away from Maxwell while Ronald, Wilfred and Flynn were chaining him to the trees. We found the best spot in the forest with the largest trees and we also used multiple large iron chains in hopes that they will be able to hold him until his transformation is complete.I could already see Maxwell’s beastly eyes as he kept glaring at us.“Ronald, hurry up,” I said.“It’s almost ready,” he answered and after a while they both returned to where I was standing.“Max, you have to stay calm, you can do this,” Alicia said.“No, I can’t,” Maxwell replied. “Save me, please… Mom,” he called out.I held her back when she was about to take a step. She looked at me and I wagged my head gently."Dad, why are
MARCUS P.O.VNo one has ever done this before and I won't be doing either if the matters at hand were not delicate. Thus time Aracely won't be the one coming to me, I would be meeting her myself."Aracely!" I called as soon as I arrived at her secret grounds."Marcus," I heard her voice behind and I turned to see her standing just three feet away. "What are you doing, you should not be here." "I need answers, Aracely. Enough of the preamble… tell me what I should expect tomorrow," I said."I have already told you everything you have to know. Tomorrow will crown his fate and the chance he will be good is slim, it might not work so you must be prepared," She replied."No, let me look at it myself," I said."That has never happened since the history of Alpha’s, you cannot use that sacred tool," She said.“It doesn’t matter now. If my son falls into the darkness he will destroy you and burn down this place and there will be nothing left…”“Enough! Marcus,” she interrupted me. “You have a
MARCUS P.O.V“Hi everyone, my name is Maxwell Dominick and I am only doing a reintroduction in case of those of you that might have heard of me but never seen me in person. As we all know today is my birthday and I am entirely grateful to all of you for being here but most especially to my awesome parents Mr and Mrs Dominick. They have always stood by me all through, most especially my mother Alicia Dominick…”I heaved a sigh as I closed my eyes in disappointment at the last sentence he made. I looked at Alicia and I could see the huge smile over her face. I could tell that she was enjoying it. I thought I was Maxwell’s favourite but it ended up being her.“Most especially your mother, huh,” I chuckled, then looked back at the stage.“I am grateful that despite the challenges she was tough enough to face it and determined to hold on to me until the end, even if it could have killed her. When everyone gave up on me she persisted. I love you so much mom and I will love you until the end
MARCUS P.O.VI walked inside the building while holding Alicia’s hand. The hall was filled up with both humans and werewolves as rock music filled the air. There was no strange pack present; I made sure that the sentinels never allowed any werewolf from another tribe to venture into the island.Everything was coordinated just like it should be and I trusted my pack to be great at blending in with the humans without causing any arousal, and that was all thanks to my late parents who taught them well.“Marcus, look who showed up,” Alicia said. I looked only to see that it was Katherine. I saw the excitement over Alicia’s face.“Will she be a burden to you?” I asked.“Are you kidding me,” Alicia said with a frown on her face.“Sorry, I was only joking, go on, go and have fun with your friend, I will keep an eye on things,” I said to her.“Okay, please watch Max but don’t spy on him,” she said.“Yes ma’am, but you know that they both mean the same thing…” I was yet to complete my statemen
ALICIA'S P.O.VSix years passed after we reconciled with Meredith and her son Daniel. Even after these six years Marcus had not retrieved the briefcase from Lucas. However, he Still assumed his position as the Alpha of his father's pack.He wasn't the only ruler of the pack since I was ruling beside him. To me it all seemed like a dream. And when speaking of a dream I am talking about the story of a feeble human who fell in love with a charming beast, a mortal chased and hunted by a pack for years was now ruling as Luna of the same pack that tried to kill her.Now the feeble mortal is known as the most revered Luna since the history of the Dominik's pack. And not just that, but far stronger than any Luna who had ever ruled beside the Alpha.Looking back from where I am I was grateful for everything that I had gone through. All my efforts were worth it and even my son, the one they say will doom the world had the most charms than anyone else.I was not only glad to have him but I am al
ALICIA’S P.O.VThe pain of losing a child was terrible and it wasn’t something a parent would wish for. I couldn’t understand the level of pain the old lady was going through but could only imagine it. Even right now I feel sorry and indebted to her.The dark cloud had already covered the sky when Meredith escorted us out of the house. She wrapped her blanket around her body to protect her from the cold breeze and by the time we arrived at our car she looked down at Maxwell. “Thank you for showing me what you showed me earlier. It felt good to see her face again,” she said to him.“You are welcome ma’am. I know you needed it,” Maxwell replied.Hearing that got me curious but I guessed it was best that I don’t ask. I was okay as long as whatever he showed Meredith made her see things differently.“Guys, I think we have company,” Ronald alarmed us. I looked to see who he was speaking of and from the distance I saw a young man approaching with a bottle of drink in his hand.“Daniel... Ma
