Alexander's POV...My entire mood felt giddy; I had woken up to see Carlos and Jason in the office waiting for our arrival. We had been quite late, too many reasons that involved certain people being ridden into oblivion.He has been in denial mode all morning, and I haven't decided how to deal with him yet. But seeing Carlos and Jason, I knew just what to do to him."It's been almost like forever since I last saw you both." I grinned at them"Have you been missing me when I'm only one call away," Carlos muttered in his usual cheerful state."Shut the hell up!" Mused Caleb, all of them settling into the chairs."I really haven't had the opportunity to thank you all for your hard work and dedication to the protection and safety of the pack," I said."Which is why we need to go to a nice place and have a good time out," Jason stated. He sounded quite chatty, which was unlike him. It's more of Carlos's thing."You sound elated, Jason," Caleb spoke my mind.Carlos shared a look with Caleb
Authors POV..."What the fuck, Ramona! Why the hell are you coming after me with so many messages and calls?" Caleb looked livid as he growled at Ramona. They stood a few feet from each other.For about a week, Ramona had been texting and calling consistently for a meet-up. Every location she picks is either her house or his. Caleb was trying his very best to avoid being in an enclosed space with her. Despite being able to define his feelings, a part of him still finds Ramona sexually appealing, and he really can't be certain of what he could be capable of.And it was obvious Ramona knew that weakness of his, the look in her eyes gave her out."Say something already! I left a gathering just because of you!" He growled in frustration.Ramona had sent him a message saying something along the line of committing suicide if he didn't show up. It was still working hours, implying their only meeting space would be his office. When he got back, she was seated comfortably in his chair. She was
Authors POV...Caleb blinked consistently, trying to adjust his brain to the mind-shattering news he just got from Ramona. His ear made a distinctive noise as his shaky hands scrolled through his phone screen to check his email. Ramona had meant it when she claimed the pregnancy test result had been sent to his email.The gynaecologist at the human-owned hospital she had gone to had his number written at the end of the test result. Refusing to get played by Ramona, he dialled the line.The other line came to life after the second ring, Caleb had been expecting to hear a man speak, but a mature ladylike voice was what he heard."Good day, Dr Derby here. What can I do for you?"Gulping hard, Caleb sat up, "I would like to ask about the pregnancy test result done by a lady at your hospital." Finding it hard to say the word, he muttered in horror. "I'm her fiance."He called out Ramona's name and her registration number written on the result. Dr Derby had been reluctant at first until she
Edwina's POV...Leaning into the fluffy armchair I sat on, I bobbed my head back and forth, letting the silence in the study seep into my thoughts. I smiled as the thought of Xander being such a tease last night flashed through my mind. He was really growing on me, and I didn't want it to end soon or forever. I rubbed at my belly, letting the proud smile spread out on my lips.Last night I had been worried I would be saddled with nightmares of my father. But I was surprised at how much sleep I had gotten. I slept peacefully like a baby. The torment of having to worry about my messed up family was finally over. All I want is to focus on being happy with Xander and my unborn cub.However, another fear has settled in the pit of my belly, and it's one thing I can affirm to it, giving me sleepless nights for as long as it lasts. I shifted in the chair, trying to focus on the book I had on hand.Becca had been quite busy all day. They were stocking groceries and other things up for the kitc
Alexander's POV...I stared at the two women wondering what the fuck I had just heard them saying. Due to Caleb's mood, we left the office a bit early. But we couldn't get into the packhouse together as he had received a call from Carlos to attend to something urgent as regards the omega clan. He had left with a promise to return.Heading to the room, I was surprised that I couldn't find Becca, who would have come to welcome me as her usual routine. I didn't see Edwina, either. When I asked the maids if they had both gone out. No one saw them leaving the house, which meant they were around somewhere. I wheeled myself down to the study, knowing Edwina spends most of her spare time in it.I was right as I neared the door, which appeared to be a bit open. The guards standing by the hallway bowed their heads. I nodded my head in response. The intention was to open the door and get in, but I got stopped by the voice of Becca when she mentioned something about my mother being an actual huma
Authors POV...Becca bit on her nails as she paced the room back and forth. If only she had known. She would have prevented her big mouth from spitting out the underlying truth of Xander's mum to Edwina in the first place. It would hurt her to be the main cause of their argument.When Xander stormed out of the room, Becca attempted to go after him. But Edwina had stopped her, saying she had nothing to worry about. Edwina had promised to talk to him, and it would be sorted. She believed her, knowing how much Xander respected Edwina's input.Checking her time, she noticed Caleb hadn't returned with Xander. She went to her room to check her phone, just in case he had left a message for her. Becca was right about the message; Caleb had called at first when she wasn't picking up, so he had dropped a text. It said he went on a quick errand but would check on her before heading to his home.She blushed at the text as memories of the night tickled her. Leaning deep into the bed, she went to t
Edwina's POV...My eyes blurred as I tried to stop the tears from coming. I felt foolish for letting Xander trample on my trust, just like every other person in my life that was gone now. How he thought I would be dumb enough to believe his pity story surpassed me.I had catered for his needs as inconvenient as it appeared due to the condition I thought he was in. Meanwhile, he had been lying through his teeth, all the while sleeping next to me.I had placed Xander above all, thinking he was different from every other person that had played with my emotions.How could he do that? How did he not deem it fit to tell it to me? A whole alpha who resulted in lying to not just his Luna but his entire pack as a whole. I feel disappointed being in acquittance with someone as selfish as that, who appears to be more concerned about guarding his heart than the numerous ones that would be pained.Every member of the night howlers had stayed back rather than run off when war seemed like the only t
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
