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

    Alexander's POV...When I headed to the sizzlers pack, I thought my emotions might burst out of place when I saw Ben. But to my surprise, all that came to my mind was a calmness that I couldn't explain. I knew right there and then what I was to do right. The yells of the warriors clashing could be heard in the silent night.I pulled a chair and sat in front of Bethel. One thing I have learnt about the sizzlers pack alpha is that; he never does things irrationally. He indulges in actions that would benefit himself and the pack as a whole. Knowing his kind of person, I decided to toss him a bone."So, you can walk now!" He started with a scoff"Surprised you noticed." I retorted sarcastically."Never knew you had moves; I was about to catch you off guard." He sounded so boastful I wanted to knock some breath out of him."Should I have waited for you to take control of my birth home?"He shrugged, "I'm not interested in leading your birth home; all I wanted is a piece of your land.""Whi

    Alexander's POV...I had seen dead bodies countless times before, but I didn't think I would feel this blank with my one-time best friend lying lifeless in front of me. It had happened so fast that there was no way anyone could throw blames around. Ben clearly knew what he was doing when he attempted to fight the warriors. There was no way he would have been able to escape.Everyone stood startled, uncertain of what move to make next. Bethel seems like the only one unbothered among us all."I would ask for his body to be deposited somewhere far away or burnt. It would be a waste of land and time to bury him right." Bethel muttered, "thanks for the insight, alpha Alexander. Would do well to come for dinner at yours as soon as the sizzlers pack completes its lockdown. Now to avoid further distraction, I would like you and your men off my land."Not arguing because we clearly have nothing else to do there. It was almost morning by the time we all stepped outside. My entire army and I wal

    Authors POV...Caressing her neck slowly, Becca stood outside the hallway, trying to figure out why she was awake so early when it wasn't dawn yet. She had been experiencing some difficulty sleeping; all through the night, Edwina and Star kept her awake.Edwina had become a total wreck by the end of the day after Becca had done all she could to persuade her to cheer her up. Becca would like to think Edwina was also being affected by pregnancy hormones. Star obviously missed the breast she fed on while her mother was still alive, and the genesis of their current doom wasn't even up to seventy-two hours yet.Something else kept Becca on her toes; Caleb had texted her the day before that they would be making a surprise attack on the sizzlers pack, which scared her a whole lot. It felt heavy, carrying the weight of the thoughts. To make matters worse, she couldn't share with Edwina, considering how disoriented the young woman was.After running a shift between Edwina and Star as they fina

    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
