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
Authors POV...The car moved further into the deepest part of the night howlers' pack. The road led to the expanse of unused land serving more as a large boundary between the night howlers and sizzlers pack. Caleb pressed on the car wheel, navigating the road like he had a GPS turning in his head. The car was extremely silent, which was unlike the both of them. Knowing how chatty Xander can be, it amused Caleb how quiet he had become since they left the office.Not wanting to intrude in his thoughts, he kept his mind on the road, keeping his wolf eyes on alert just in case the sizzlers might be lying in wait. The night howlers hardly make use of the road, and it's toured mainly by people making a silent escape out of the pack, which is very unlikely unless they are wanted criminals like John Sinclair.The road to an ordinary eye is only one way to the border gate separating the night howlers and the sizzlers pack. But the ones who are very familiar with the road know that just down th
Alexander's POV...Watching them march towards the tunnel as I told them to arrange themselves made me feel good at heart. It was obvious they didn't care about my deficiency; they would harken to every word that came out of my mouth. Their howls as they shifted, sent a thrill down my spine.I had decided that some groups should shift into their wolves, and the ones using weapons shouldn't shift just yet. Caleb, Carlos, Jason, and the rest of us assigned to the packhouse didn't shift either.To make the attacks easier, those who have shifted would subdue the sizzlers' army on the different angles of the pack. It would be too much work if they had to get there and shift. It's better for us when our enemies are caught off guard.I sighed deeply as I remembered this wasn't an ordinary move we were about to make."Halt, everyone!" I called out as some were about to step into the tunnel. They all turned around to look at me with eagerness in their eyes. They were truly ready to counter wha
Ben's POV...It had appeared as a dream when some armed warriors with the night howlers warrior uniform barged into the meeting room. Finally, Bethel had agreed to us acting fast before the night howlers woke up from their slumber.With me in attendance, he had invited his pack council members to strategize on a means to conquer the whole of the night howlers pack.According to Bethel, we would need to act discreetly, considering the fact that the sizzlers pack was still under a strict lockdown. I had John with me as my underdog after dressing him up in a whole lot of disguise. I wasn't ready to get in the bad books of Bethel yet, not until I got what I wanted.It was past midnight, and all of us had protective gear on even after having sanitized ourselves. Bethel had reminded me of the promises I made to him if he helped conquer the sizzlers pack as he insisted on him risking his members' lives for me.We hadn't spent thirty minutes into the meeting when the warriors burst in and sub
