The next morning, the household bustled with activities. Valtira diligently double-checked her packing, ensuring nothing was left behind. Meanwhile, Alpha Kael headed to his office to address all pressing state matters that required his attention before his departure. Elsewhere, Annie spent the morning with Aurora, keeping her company and assisting with a soothing massage to ease her foot and body.After a fulfilling yet exhausting day, the group felt a sense of accomplishment. However, Kieran and Jackson couldn't help but notice Alpha Kael's subtle withdrawal and lingering worry, which had been evident throughout the day. Concerned for their friend and brother, they discreetly made plans to intervene and offer their support, hoping to help alleviate his burdens and restore his usual composure.As Jackson drove them home, Kieran and Jackson attempted to engage Alpha Kael in conversation, but he remained disinterested and withdrawn. Kieran pondered the reason behind Alpha Kael's sudden
As the sun rose the next morning, casting a warm glow over the landscape, the helpers engaged themselves loading Alpha Kael and Aurora's bags into the car. The family gathered downstairs, their faces filled with a mix of emotions, as they awaited the Alpha's departure. Meanwhile, Alpha Kael took a moment to speak with Valtira, their conversation hushed but intense. He had to sought her out, wanting to address the tension between them before he left. The air was thick with unspoken words as they stood together, their eyes locked in silence. Alpha Kael sat beside Valtira on the bed, his voice soft and gentle as he spoke. She lay facing away from him, her body tense with emotion. "Valtira, I'm sorry. I know this is hard for you, and I never intended for you to suffer. Please believe me, everything will fall into place soon. Just a little more patience, my love." He paused, hoping to reassure her. "To make it up to you, I'll return after a week and spend the other week with you. It do
After a restful morning, Alpha Kael woke up feeling refreshed and eager to spend the day with Aurora. He couldn't explain why, but he felt an inexplicable pull to be around her. He got dressed and made his way to her hotel room, excitement building up inside him.When he arrived, Aurora welcomed him with a warm smile and ushered him in. Alpha Kael's eyes roamed the room, taking in the cozy atmosphere, before settling back on Aurora. After exchanging greetings, Alpha kael then spoke "Would you like to dress up and explore the town with me? I'd love to show you around."Aurora's eyes sparkled with delight, and she nodded enthusiastically. "I'd love to," she said, already heading towards the closet to choose an outfit.As they strolled through the town, Aurora and Alpha Kael couldn't help but feel a spark of connection. They drove past charming buildings, admiring the architecture, and stopped at quaint restaurants to sample local delicacies. With each passing moment, their laughter and
Margaret rose with the sun, her warm smile and gentle hum filling the cozy cottage as she busied herself with the morning routine. She cleaned the house with a practiced ease, her hands moving with a comforting familiarity. The aroma of freshly baked bread and simmering coffee wafted through the air, mingling with the scent of sizzling bacon and eggs. She called out to Alpha Kael, her voice warm and inviting. "Breakfast is ready, dear! Come and join us!" Alpha Kael emerged from the guest room, his eyes still heavy with sleep, but his face lighting up with gratitude as he took in the spread before him. He was touched by the kindness of this elderly couple, who treated him with a warmth and generosity that belied their age. "Thank you," he said, his voice sincere. "This looks amazing. You didn't have to go to so much trouble." Margaret waved her hand dismissively. "Nonsense, dear! You're our guest. We want to make sure you feel at home." As they sat down to eat, Alpha Kael sav
Aurora lay in bed, her gaze fixed on Alpha Kael's peaceful form, a soft smile still plastered on her face. As she stared, her mind began to wander, consumed by thoughts that refused to be silenced. What was she doing, sharing a bed with the Alpha, creating memories that made her heart flutter with every recollection. She knew that their time together was fleeting, that Alpha Kael was destined to return to his preordained Luna, Valtira once they returned to the Moon Light pack.A pang of uncertainty struck her chest, threatening to shatter the fragile sense of belonging she had cultivated. What would become of her, of the love she had unwittingly gathered, when the contract was over. The weight of her emotions crushed her, and she felt herself tumbling into the abyss of heartache.With a jolt, Aurora snapped out of her reverie, her eyes fluttering closed as she attempted to shake off the treacherous feelings. She needed to convince herself that she didn't love him, that their connectio
Valtira stepped into her home, her mind resolute. She would become the green snake in the green grass of the Alpha's house - unseen, unheard, and deadly. With calculated precision, she would strike, leaving no trail or hint of her presence. Her gaze drifted to the living room, where the family members laughed and chatted, oblivious to the storm brewing within her. As she stared at them, basking in the warmth of the fireplace, enjoying each other's company, a cold smile spread across her face. Her lips sealed, she vowed to utter not a word against anyone, nor the Alpha's Union. But oh, she would make them pay, each and every one of them, for daring to challenge her and threatening her rightful place as Luna. With a bright, cheerful smile, Valtira greeted everyone, effortlessly blending into the warm atmosphere of the living room. Alpha Kael's mother, observant as ever, noted the subtle shift in Valtira's demeanor and nodded to herself in approval. A change of scenery had indeed been
As the minutes ticked by, the tension in the room grew. The family's anxiety was palpable, and the silence between them seemed to thicken like a fog. Kieran leaned against the wall, his eyes fixed on the door to the emergency ward, willing the doctors to emerge with news. His jaw clenched in frustration, he thought about the events leading up to this moment. Had they missed something? Or did Grandma hide her health issues from them? Suddenly, the door to the emergency ward swung open interrupting his thoughts, and a doctor emerged, his face somber... Dr. Lee's somber expression told them everything they needed to know. The family's hearts sank as he approached, his eyes filled with a mix of empathy and caution. "We're doing everything we can," he began, his voice measured and calm. "But I have to be honest with you, her condition is even more critical than the last time. We're running some tests, but...it's not looking good." Jackson's mind raced as he starred at his mother wh
The following morning, Alpha Kael and Aurora arrived at the airport, eager to reunite with their family. After a swift departure, they landed back in Moonlight Park, their minds focused on the loved ones they were about to meet. As they drove straight to the hospital, a mix of emotions swirled within them. They were relieved to be back, yet anxious about the reason for their sudden return. Upon their arrival at the hospital, Kael and Aurora were immediately enveloped in a flurry of inquiries from their family. However, Kael's primary concern remained his grandmother's well-being. With a firm yet anxious tone, he asked, "How is she?" His mother attempted to provide a detailed explanation, "We didn't anticipate her condition would deteriorate so rapidly. The doctors have been monitoring her closely, and—" But Kael's attention was already fixed on his grandmother's room, his heart racing with anticipation. He swiftly made his way towards the door, Aurora by his side. As Kael ga
As Aiden arrived at the house, the girls' eyes widened with excitement. They squealed and ran to him, hugging him tightly. Aiden laughed and hugged them back, happy to see them so enthusiastic. Sophia smiled and welcomed Aiden warmly. "Good morning, Aiden. Come on in. Please, join us for breakfast?" Aiden nodded, taking a seat at the table. Sophia bustled around, serving him a plate of pancakes and fresh fruit. The girls chattered excitedly, asking Aiden about the gown fitting and what they could expect. After breakfast, Aiden thanked Sophia and the family, then took a seat in the living room while the girls got ready. Sophia and the others scurried around, gathering their things and preparing for the outing. As they finished up, Sophia turned to Aiden and smiled. "We're all set. Let's get going." Aiden stood up, his eyes locking onto Sophia's. "Sounds good. I'll get the car." With that, they were off, ready to take on the day and find the perfect gowns for the girls. As
Allen sat behind his desk, his expression unreadable. Daphne stood before him, a hint of apprehension in her voice. "Am I in trouble, sir?" she asked. Allen didn't respond. Instead, he turned his computer screen towards Daphne, gesturing for her to take a seat. His silence spoke volumes, and Daphne's unease grew as she lowered herself into the chair. Daphne sat in front of Allen's desk, her eyes scanning the cake designs on the screen. Allen stood up from his seat, his movements fluid and confident. He walked around the desk and stood behind Daphne, leaning forward slightly. "Let's take a closer look," he said, his voice low and professional. His proximity to Daphne was subtle, yet unmistakable. He was her boss, and he was asserting his authority in a gentle, yet firm manner. As they leaned in together, their heads bent over the screen, Daphne felt a flutter in her chest. She tried to focus on the cake designs, but she couldn't help being aware of Allen's presence behind her
The following morning, Sophia woke up early and started her day by cleaning and preparing food. She was extremely excited because it was her dress fitting day, and the wedding was just around the corner. Aiden, his mother, and grandmother were scheduled to pick her up, and she didn't want to keep them waiting. While the rest of the family were still in bed, Sophia quietly and quickly cleaned the house and made breakfast, careful not to wake her sisters and the kids. With the kids already on holiday, Sophia packed lunch and baked some cookies for Daphne before heading back to her room to shower and get ready. Meanwhile, the rest of the family began to stir, waking up one by one. Thanks to Sophia's early start, Daphne had a relatively stress-free morning. After waking up, she had a leisurely bath and got ready for work. Just as she was about to leave, she popped in to check on Sophia. The door was slightly ajar, allowing Daphne to see Sophia sitting on her bed, staring at her
The next morning, the sun shone brightly, casting a warm glow over the room. Aiden and Sophia, still snuggled on the couch, slowly stirred. Sophia shifted slightly, adjusting her position on Aiden's shoulder. As they rubbed the sleep from their eyes, they were suddenly met with five pairs of curious eyes. The girls and Sophia's sisters stood before them, their faces filled with amusement. The sleep cleared from Aiden and Sophia's eyes in an instant, replaced by surprise and a touch of embarrassment. "Should we get you a soft pillow?" Ava asked, her voice laced with sarcasm. "You look like you could use a little more sleep, Mummy. Or perhaps a nice breakfast in bed... or on the couch, since that's where you both practically slept?" Aiden and Sophia bowed their heads, exchanging a sheepish glance from the corner of their eyes. They struggled to hide their amused expressions as they faced the mock scolding from their two little daughters, Mia and Ava, who were barely five and six yea
Daphne's face burned with embarrassment as she swiftly grabbed her phone, avoiding eye contact. 'Hi,' she muttered, her voice barely audible, her head still bowed in mortification. She stepped out, her eyes fixed on the ground, unable to face them. No sooner had Daphne stepped out of sight, the guys pounced on Allen, their teasing remarks flying thick and fast. 'So, Allen's got a secret crush!' Eric exclaimed, a sly grin spreading across his face "wow......." 'Or maybe he's already got a girlfriend and didn't tell us!' Eddy chimed in, his eyes sparkling with mischief. Aiden joined the chorus, 'I was pretty sure that He was hiding something from us!' The teasing continued, with the trio relentless in their joking. Allen, exhausted from trying to fend off their jabs, finally collapsed onto his bed, his face buried in his pillow. But even that didn't stop the teasing. With a surge of frustration, he suddenly sprang up from the bed and ushered his friends out of his room, shutt
With the first light of dawn creeping over the horizon Daphne slowly stretched out on the bed, she sat up, rubbing the remnants of sleep from her eyes. With a gentle touch, she gathered her tangled hair into a messy bun, still oblivious to the pair of eyes watching her. Allen's gaze had been fixed on her, but it wasn't until he purposely dropped his coffee cup onto the table that Daphne became aware of his presence. The sudden sound made her heart skip a beat, and she turned to face him, her eyes widening in surprise. With a swift motion, she pulled the blanket up to her chest, her cheeks flushing with a mix of embarrassment and vulnerability. "Are you a pervert or what?" Daphne exclaimed, her voice laced with indignation after pulling the blanket up to her chest. "There's something called privacy, you know," she continued, her tone dripping with annoyance. "Did you even bother to knock? Who creeps into a girl's room at the crack of dawn and watches her sleep? Are you a freak or a
Daphne did as she was directed. She walked down the street, her feet carrying her further and further away from her intended destination. She didn't stop, not until she got to the 15th building as directed, and was disappointed to find out that the house she was looking for was 13 buildings back up. "What the hell?" she fumed to herself, her anger and frustration simmering just below the surface. She couldn't believe she had been misled so badly. She thought back to the man who had directed her, Allen, her boss, and wondered if he had done it on purpose. She thanked the man who had given her the right direction. Daphne turned and began to walk back up the street, her feet carrying her towards the house she had been searching for all along. She was so upset, her mind racing with thoughts of how she had been misled. But what could she do? Allen was her boss, and any misbehavior could get her fired. So, she tried convincing herself not to be mad, telling herself that he probably
Time flies, and before long, Friday arrived. While Aiden and his friends tackled their office tasks, his mother and grandmother were busy at home, perfecting every detail for the sleepover. Meanwhile, Sophia's house was abuzz with excitement. The girls returned from school, beaming with anticipation, as they watched their aunt and mother pack bags and gifts for the big night. They couldn't wait to get started! Their mother reminded them to get changed, take their baths, and eat lunch. After refueling, they settled in to watch their favorite TV show, the hours ticking away. Earlier that morning, Daphne had gone for an interview at a prestigious restaurant in the city, where she had applied for a cooking position. As she walked, a speeding car suddenly swerved into a pothole, splashing dirty water all over her. Daphne let out a loud shriek, berating the driver as an animal and worse. The driver, taken aback by her outburst, slammed on the brakes and reversed back to where Daphne
As the parent-teacher meeting drew to a close, Mr. Snow hastened towards Aiden, his wife and daughter trailing behind him. His face was etched with shame and bitterness, a stark contrast to his earlier demeanor. After learning about his wife's actions, he was consumed by regret. With a heavy heart, Mr. Snow apologized profusely to Sophia and the girls, his voice laced with sincerity. He then turned to his wife and daughter, his eyes stern with disapproval. "Apologize," he instructed firmly, his tone brooking no argument. His wife and daughter exchanged nervous glances before offering hesitant apologies, their voices barely above a whisper. "Mr. Snow, I value the contributions you've made to my company over the years. You've been a loyal and dedicated employee, and I appreciate that. However, I must make it clear that I won't tolerate any behavior that compromises the well-being and safety of my family. Your wife's actions were unacceptable, and I'm holding her accountable. "As
