Edwina's POV...

Staring dolled-eyed at the newborn, I was beyond mesmerized at her sight. Sonia looked more smitten than I was, even as they took her to the bathroom to wash up. The look on her face was priceless. My sister is finally a mother.

"It's a baby girl!" The theta announced. But my ears weren't even working anymore; those beautiful eyes got me roped in.

"She looks so beautiful." Becca sniffed behind me.

It was obvious she had been crying. It turns out it wasn't just me. The theta placed the newborn cub in Sonia's hands as she rested on the bed after getting cleaned up.

"Come carry her, Edwina," Sonia called out to me.

I practically ran to her at the invitation. "You want me to?" I asked, sitting with caution next to her.

Sonia smiled brightly, handing the child over to me carefully. "Here you go."

She felt so light in my arms I was almost scared she would fall off my hands.

"What would you like to name her?" Sonia inquired next to me. I almost fell off the bed.

"Really?" I w

    Alexander's POV...I rubbed at my neck as I checked my wristwatch to realize that the time was barely past noon. What time exactly did I get to work? I could feel exhaustion reeking through every of my pores. For fucks sake, why the hell is the time so slow?A different form of hunger hit the pit of my belly. I could swallow a whole horse right now if given a chance to. Deciding to eat out an early lunch, I picked up the phone and dialled Ramona. The line hadn't rung when I heard a knock on the door. For the sake of my sanity, I really do hope whoever was at the door has a good enough reason to do so."Come in!" I didn't sound too enthusiastic about the invite.The door opened, giving way to Carlos and Jason, both of them holding some bag packs in hand. I almost wailed. I thought I had seen about enough of these guys today. Don't they get tired of seeing my face? I know I am good-looking, and all, but their constant visits might make the beauty fade.I would love to blurt out all this

    Alexander's POV...At Ramona's announcement, I wasn't too certain about how I was supposed to react to that. It took her time to catch the look on my face as she mouthed a hurried sorry and walked back out. Every one of the men tried looking at every other place to distract themselves from glancing at me.I hate how it seems like they are all working on eggshells around me. Maybe I wasn't supposed to look the way I did, but it was unintentional. Seems like my mind worked on its own.When Caleb decided to break the silence in the room, I couldn't be more grateful. "Let's continue with the talks, please."Carlos gulped hard before talking again. You would think he lost track of what he was to do. To my annoyance, he kept searching around for nothing in particular."What the hell, man!" Jason whispered at him.I turned away, the food I had eaten turned sour in my mouth. I wouldn't blame Carlos for looking so confused; we went from zero to a thousand a bit too quick.Clearing his throat,

    Authors POV...John grinned in satisfaction at the fear in Sonia's eyes. He could see her eyes searching the room for an escape or probably a tool to use against him.Athena had kept her promise to let him in after a bout of hot sex that made him shiver. She definitely had been yearning for him and didn't hesitate to let him feel it from the drip of her pussy. The mere thought of it had him licking his lips.Sonia stared in disgust and fear. She would have never thought the day would eventually come when her father, who had been tagged as dead after such a long while, would show his face. And today, of all days when she is meant to stay happy and grateful for the turnout of things."Hey, there, lovely daughter," John muttered, still holding up the cynical grin.A vicious scream bobbed in Sonia's throat as she heard his voice. She wanted to believe it was just her illusion, but he was standing right in front of her in the flesh. Trying hard to scream, it seemed like something had seize

    Authors POV...Athena wondered why John wasn't picking up her calls; he had only said he would use about twenty minutes or less. Her skin pricked at the thought of the sex they had just had before he left to see Sonia. It was the most intense sex she had ever had.She was practically screaming her lungs out, not caring that anyone around would hear her.She had let John in through the secret back door most maids use to sneak out of the packhouse. And as promised, he had brought the money and his dick along, fully prepared to make her feel good. The sex had been so wild that she couldn't resist the sleep that eluded her after her bath.All Athena could remember was John telling her he wouldn't take long to return. She thought that maybe she could make him stay for the rest of the night since everyone in the packhouse was busy with jubilation at the newborn's arrival.She woke up about twenty minutes later, it was a brief sleep but the best she had ever had. When she couldn't get throug

    Alexander's POV..."Edwina!" I yelled out the moment my Luna slumped against the hard floor.My whole body was still paralyzed with shock. I am still trying my hardest to wrap my head around it. Running towards Edwina, I barked out for the infirmary to be called.I asked Caleb to lift her up to the bed until my eyes caught sight of the maid carrying a hysteric-looking Star. It then dawned on me that some shit had really gone down."Stay with me, baby." I patted Edwina's cheek consciously, trying to revive her, even when I wasn't sure about what I was doing.In a few seconds, I bypassed the theta herself as she checked for a pulse, asking for Edwina to be taken out of the room first.I had heard some situations occur where the new mum might feel dizzy and lose so much blood, which could result in death. But it seemed uncertain in Sonia's case since the theta had been assured that she was just fine. And not to brag, but the night howlers pack has the best of hands in terms of medical ca

    Alexander's POV...Blood rushed through my ear as I tried hard to process the bombshell Caleb had just dropped. My voice seemed to fade for a brief second.I held on tightly to the tablet, trying to control the emotions flowing through me. With a steady breath, I opened my eyes as I watched the video. My eyes stung at the sight. It was a clear scene of John snuffing the life out of Sonia."How the hell did he get in? And where in the pit of hell did this bastard arise from?" I boomed, letting anger surge through every pore in my body.Caleb sat down on the edge of the bed, looking exhausted. "I'm just as confused as you are. But then the most surprising thing is how he came through the main door and locked it from inside." He said in reference to the video."Who was assigned to be Sonia's maid?" I inquired."Should be the lady who carried Star in her arms when we came in," Caleb responded."I need her right this minute."Standing up, I paced the room impatiently. This is the most conf

    Authors POV...Becca searched around the kitchen uncomfortably, trying not to meet Caleb's eyes. It was just as Ramona had said; he looked terrible. His eyes obviously were sleep deprived. She had been trying her best to avoid him all week, and it worked. Becca didn't get to see him, just as she had wished.Watching her every move, Caleb walked towards the kitchen island, taking Ramona's seat. He sighed in exhaustion."Until when would you keep doing this?" He asked, holding his head together with his hands.She gulped hard, toying with her fingers. "did you know about Ramona coming?""How was I supposed to know? I haven't spoken to her in weeks. I was surprised myself to see her here."Searching his eyes for any form of lie or pretence, Becca saw the naivety in his eyes. It was obvious Caleb had no idea of Ramona's coming. She inhaled and exhaled at the same time, trying to steady her breath.It wasn't worth brooding on too much; Becca herself was tired of being so far away from him.

    Authors POV...Ramona searched around the crowd, trying to see if she would get a hold of Becca, but she seemed to disappear at every chance she got to approach her. One thing about the gathering of night howlers is how merry they all become and how they know how to party till the day ends. Especially since the alpha had finally gotten back to his feet. Annoyed at how hard it was becoming, Ramona made her way towards the podium area to ask a guard where Becca was. The guard directed her to the kitchen.Her heels clattered against the hallways as she manoeuvred her way around the pack house. Getting into the kitchen, Becca was there as she had been told. Standing at the edge of the kitchen was Becca, who seemed so lost in her thoughts. Ramona bit her lip really hard; she felt so guilty.For the past three weeks, Ramona had forced her way into Caleb's home to have him bend to her wheel. Unfortunately, Caleb seems to be much more determined than she was to not give in to her advances.Ev

    Edwina's POV...For what seemed like a lifetime, he didn't say a word. I was getting bothered, and my standing didn't feel good, considering my position. I would like to think that Xander reads my mind. Almost in a split second, he had dusted a chair that sprouted out from among the piles of antiques in the space and had me seated on it.I gulped nervously, feeling bad for thinking ill of him. "Xander..."He held a hand up, "please let me finish." He pleaded."Okay." I let out in a whisper.Still standing, Xander had his back turned to me, obviously trying to hide the tears in his eyes. "over the years, as I grew, I leaned on Ben as he was the only person really close to me. I felt safe trusting him with all of me. Also, the idea of family grew within me so much. I couldn't wait to have a Luna. When I did come of age, I pleaded hard with the moon goddess to show me my desired mate. When she showed you to me, I was too greedy and thought I was doing it for the sake of the pack. Eventua

    Edwina's POV...I stomped my foot through the hallway in annoyance, indecisive as to why my emotions were spluttering all over the place. I could blame it on pregnancy, knowing quite well it wasn't just about that.Tears laced my eyes as I bounced off the walls. Seeing him stand in all of his glory, like the Greek god most books describe, was overwhelming. In all truth, Xander is a good-looking man. Every of his body structure, from the chiselled jawline to his legs, made my clit ache.I was wet beyond measure, and if he slipped right inside me this minute, I was sure to orgasm right on the spot. I feel angry at myself for having such thoughts, considering how much he had disregarded me. But what to do when I miss him so much? I ache for his touch every night, and my urges had mounted since I got pregnant.Probably, just maybe, I would have held back on my sexually consumed thoughts if he wasn't looking so much like a snack. It's been a month, and I must say every day is more than ten

    Alexander's POV...I shifted uncomfortably in the wheelchair, eager to stand up and not have to deal with the facade I had been living in anymore. Glancing to my side, I tried to keep eye contact with Edwina. It was obvious she was doing everything she could to avoid my ears. A week after she found out about my true disabled state, I tried to get on her good book, but she never paid me any mind.I had thought coming out to the pack members would be easy, as I had informed Caleb to arrange the process after a week when I might have gotten back with Edwina. To my disappointment, three weeks went by with myself and Caleb wallowing in self-pity and none of our women paying us any mind. For myself and Edwina, we have been going back and forth on her forgiving me.But she had been really adamant about not wanting to talk to me. The last time I tried to reach out to her, she had told me it would take her a very long time to accept the new me, as she had put it. Sounds frustrating, right? I m

    Edwina's POV...I rolled to the side of the bed, trying to find a comfortable side of the bed to rest in, but I couldn't. I had been awake since about seven am, but I couldn't find myself standing up from the bed. I just wanted to remain there, most especially to avoid seeing Xander. At the same time, I was aching badly for food and a nice cup of tea. My baby and I had awoken with a craving for food.Turning around to get a hold of my phone, I attempted to dial Becca when there came a knock on the door. As I got off the bed reluctantly to open it, I hoped it wouldn't be Xander. Nothing has prepared me for such a discussion this morning.Opening it, I found Becca by the door with a platter of food. "Oh my goodness, Becca! You are godsent." I muttered, opening the door widely.My eyes glazed at the sumptuous sight of the breakfast of bacon, toast, scrambled egg, sausage, some freshly made juice, and a cup of tea to cap it all."How in the world did you do this? Do you live in my mind?"

    Authors POV...Caleb scoffed in irritation as he threw daggers at Ramona with his eyes. It had been hard for him to get over how low she had stooped to get back at him. Having her appear in his home looking all relaxed made him boil terribly. He had just taken a pill to suppress the headache threatening to split his head. The moment his eyes landed on Ramona, it seemed to be coming back with full force."Answer the fucking question. Why are you here?" Caleb blurted again, his eyes catching sight of Xander wheeling himself towards his room.Ramona sat with gait, staring at Caleb with a straight face. She had no intention of backing away from fighting for his attention. She had known the kind of ruckus the video and document she had sent to Becca would cause. However, she was less bothered about it and couldn't care less about what anyone thought of her. She wants a home with Caleb and being Ramona, there is no way she would let it go that easily without a fight.Becca was way older tha

    Alexander's POV...Eyeballing his ass out, I turned my back to him, trying to wash up the used cups. One thing I loved to do was handle my chores. Before I got confined to the wheelchair, I used to swing by Ben's place to crash after a long day at work. We end up cooking and washing up ourselves. They were sweet memorable moments. I wanted to distract myself from responding to Caleb, or should I say, I was trying to gather my thoughts."Why aren't you saying anything?" He pressed on, raising his head fully now."Can you not." I inhaled deeply, scratching the back of my head. "I hope you haven't taken my advice of keeping something from your woman because I think that has cost me my small family."Caleb snorted, mumbling under his breath. "guess that's too late. But tell me, what happened?""Edwina saw me on my feet," I told him.He started with a perplexed look on his face, "Saw you on your feet? How did that happen?"I rolled my eyes, sitting my butt on a stool. I sighed, "so, yester

    Alexander's POV...Woke up to a cold side of the bed. The bags underneath my eyes were enough to act as an airbag during an accident. They were so heavy it felt like my eyes were under pressure.I had waited up for Edwina to return to the room, but it was obvious that wouldn't be happening. I was surprised to find out when I drifted off to sleep, though.My mind wobbled, and all I wanted was to stick to the bed and never have to come out of the room. Different emotions flowed through me. Now that Edwina knows my truth, I feel compelled to let the pack members know too. Truth is, judging by Edwina's reaction, I'm really scared the pack members, too, would be disappointed.I groaned inwardly while pulling at my hair. I can't believe this shit is happening right now; I thought everything was falling into place, and I would show myself to my woman at the right time. I can tell she hates me now and compares me to that fucking Ben. Now I have stooped so low to cursing the dead. I might go b
