Authors POV...Pulling the hoodie over his head, John moved as fast as his legs could carry him. He had no intention of stopping until he got anywhere that appeared safe for him to make a quick call."Don't you think he looks familiar?" A lady said behind him as he was about to step out. John panicked, thinking he had been discovered.Glancing behind, he relaxed a bit when he noticed she was only referring to something on her phone as she spoke to the red-headed guy standing next to her."I wonder why the alpha guards have ordered his arrest all of a sudden." The red-headed guy said.John stiffened as he took a sneak peek at the phone they had in hand. On the screen was his picture. Turning around, he quickened his pace even more trying to not get caught in his attempt to listen.He blamed himself for getting too carried away and not finding another means to kill Sonia. John had miscalculated his whole movement, but what he didn't seem to understand was how they got to know it was him
Authors POV...John yawned in exhaustion as he got into the sizzlers pack through the secret passage Ryan's man had made him pass through. It was long past midnight by the time he eventually got to the sizzlers pack. Ryan had been right about the sizzlers pack being under lockdown. Everywhere was extremely devoid of people.The person who had helped him out, whose name John had learnt was Damon, made him dress in one of the sizzler's pack warrior uniforms to avoid being noticed. They entered the military base and headed to an empty space."Sit here!" Damon pointed to a lone chair in the room for John to sit in. It didn't seem befitting, but John couldn't complain as his whole body was cramped. "As much as Ben is much loved by the alpha, he is strict on his rules. We have been instructed to not allow anyone to enter the pack; anyone found wanting would be severely prosecuted. I'm only doing this because I owe Ryan for coming to my rescue when I needed him the most. Try to stay as discr
Edwina's POV...I turned my head, trying to adjust to the darkness around me, my head swirled, and it felt like I was in a whirlpool. Turning on my side, I could sense that it was almost morning. As soon as the memories of what had happened the other day swept me over, the tears fell like an opened dam.It felt like a part of me had died. I shivered as the tears kept dropping on my pillow. All of a sudden, a pair of strong hands wrapped itself around me."Stop crying, Edwina. You would hurt yourself and the baby," Xander cooed behind me.I shifted in his arms, trying to figure out his sleeping stance. Looking back, his eyes were shut tightly. His talking about a baby surprised me. But then I remembered who he was talking about, Star.Wiggling my way out of his grip, I dropped down from the bed, and I felt dizzy. Getting a grip on myself, I walked out of the room. My throat was so dry I almost thought my voice had seized. I decided to go to the kitchen first. The packhouse was still is
Alexander's POV...Turning onto the other side of the bed, I felt it. Edwina wasn't there, and I could sense she had been away for quite a while. I panicked a bit, hoping she hadn't gone ahead to do something crazy. I was about to jump off the bed and get into the wheelchair when I heard footsteps behind the door.I would have really cussed the shit out of myself if I had carelessly acted and ended up being caught red-handed by Edwina. I have no strength to plunge myself into an explanation.She opened the door, looking exhausted and a bit calmer. By the little light seeping through the window, I could tell it was almost morning, but she looked like she was about to retire for the night."How are you?" I inquired the moment she climbed into bed.To my shock, she leaned into me, resting her head on my chest. Edwina has never been expressive outside of us having sex. Her getting so close to me feels perfect. I wrapped my hands around her, and she sighed."Where were you?" I asked again.
Alexander's POV...Now, I am getting really confused. I understand there is a lot of tension flying around, but shouldn't announcing to Edwina that we are soon-to-be parents be good news to her? I hope it isn't what I am thinking, probably she doesn't want to carry a child of mine, or probably it isn't mine.I was going to lose my mind at this point if she didn't clarify my assumptions with a solid reason as to why she reacted that way."I just said you are pregnant." This time I answered with a rigid stare.I saw what seemed like an uncomfortable movement in her throat. She stared wide-eyed at me. "I am pregnant?"She asked again, holding onto her belly. The look on my face was a tell-it-all; I was confused about what she meant."Xander, I am going to have a baby?" Her expression still wasn't clear enough. And her eyes were heavy with tears.Just when I expected her to say something more meaningful than her utterances, Edwina got off the bed and headed straight for the bathroom. To m
Edwina's POV...Looking around the room that had clearly been tagged as out of bounds, I sat by the door, hugging my legs to my chest. Thinking about Xander's announcement, I didn't know how exactly I was supposed to act. And maybe I shouldn't have acted unreasonably, walking out on him like that.But I was overwhelmed by the news, and my emotions weren't exactly clear. I should have suspected something was different about me, especially when I craved more sleep and felt some irritation in the mornings for the past week now.Tears flowed freely from my eyes.When Sonia was alive and pregnant with Star, I had wished to conceive, too, hoping Xander wouldn't have a problem with it. I hoped he would be pleased with the thought of it.Somehow, I feel like this doesn't seem like the right time. To think that I had sex with Xander this morning makes the guilt weigh more on my shoulders. I wish I had spent more time with Sonia while she was alive.I would never forgive our father for doing t
Ben's POV...I sat down with my back resting against the bed frame as one of the maids worked her mouth on my dick. It was just a movement that I didn't intend to take further beyond the blowjob; she didn't look attractive enough for me to fuck. Moreover, Malia had just sneaked out of the room early in the morning.But the tension I was feeling made me crave some release. Malia's company had made my mind a bit preoccupied. Now that she was gone, my mind returned to its spiralling mode.Fucking John Sinclair! That bastard just swivelled his way into my plans, making it all a bit messy. My mind has been on what my child would look like and how soon I could take him or her away.I moaned as the maid gave me a deep throat, letting out a moan herself. Seems like she is enjoying it more than I am. Tapping her head, she looked up, her pupils dilated. Nah, baby, I am so not fucking you. The image of her pussy dripping on the duvet amused me as I thought of it. But she wouldn't even last beyon
Alexander's POV...Dropping off the call from Edwina had put me in a frenzy. She sounded sad. I wish I could go to her now, but they were more important things to deal with at the moment. I don't mean to say consoling Edwina isn't important, but the attack on the sizzlers pack is a more pressing issue.I have been trying to figure out different techniques that can be adapted to incapacitate the sizzlers' army. It was almost noon, and the others were expected to return to me with their feedback. Aside that, I needed some good food.It's tiring to have to work all day with no such thing as a heavy meal inside of me. I plan on resigning from the alpha's seat after this. All I want to do is wake up to Edwina every day, have some deep sex, sleep and eat some good food. I know it's just my wishful thinking, but you can't blame me for wanting some nice soft life.There was a knock on the door, and then it came open. My three musketeers strolled in, looking like they had some victory moments
