—Alpha Leo's POV— “Answer me!” I growl loudly and she flinches back. “I do not have to tell you anything.” She snaps back at me and I know this is like pouring water on stone, this is a losing fight, she's never going to tell me anything. “When did you become this person Scarlett? Or were you always like this and I was just to blind to see it?” I asked her hoping to get a genuine reaction from her but she just continues to stare at me. “Fine, you do whatever the hell it is you're doing but you better make sure that I don't find out what it is and stay away from that lab and from Lena.” I warn her. “Or what?” She asks me. “You don't want to know what I'll do to you Scarlett, you've seen what I do to people that disobey me or cross me, the only thing stopping me from doing that to you was my love for you and you've done well to take that away so there's nothing holding me back now, you've been warned Scarlett.” I tell her and for the first time, I se
Alpha Leo's POV. She slowly turned around to look at me and when I saw the fear in her eyes, that made the decision for me. I treated her badly, that's the truth and she's scared of me finding out about the kids, I don't know why, but she is. Am I angry that she's kept them away from me all these years? Hell yes I am but nothing good will come out of me confronting her. She could very easily just pack up the kids and leave and I won't be able to find her. I can't be selfish, I'm not the only one that will be affected if she leaves, I have my pack to think about, if she leaves the hope of finding a cure goes with her. If I keep my suspicions to myself then at least she and the kids will be here at the pack, and I'll have the time to gain her trust back and then bring up the topic of the kids or she'll even finally open up and tell me about them. But first I need to find out if she was lying about the man in her life because the only man meant to be in her life and
Lena's POV. Leo walks back with us to the house and then he says goodnight to the kids, I'm so confused, in fact I've been confused ever since he saw Luke and didn't say anything. My sweet shy Karla gives him a hug, Liam hig fives him and tells him to come back the next day and then finally Luke steps up and shakes his hand, he tells him goodnight and also tells him to come by soon. Then finally, it's my turn and in my head, I'm thinking, this is finally it, this is the moment he's been waiting for to ask me about the kids. But he doesn't say anything, he simply leans down and kisses me on the cheek and then he steps back. “Goodnight Lena, I'll see you tomorrow.” He says and then he waves to the kids and walks away. “Mummy, boss man is cool, I like him.” Liam tells me as she strolls into the house. “I like him too.” Karla tells me and my heart breaks at that point, my sweet baby girl who has a very hard time connecting to people, but she had bo problem co
Alpha Leo's POV. I get back home and from what I can hear, Scarlett isn't here, which fills me with a sense of relief rather than worry. I've been in denial for a very long time, maybe it was because I've loved her since I knew what love meant. But now it's like the covers have been removed from my eyes. When she left me the first time to get married to someone else, I should've let her go then, but I didn't. I still loved her, which was why when she came back I took her back with no questions asked. But that right there was the biggest mistake of my life,there's a saying that goes, ‘when someone shows you who they are, believe them.’ Scarlett showed me the type of person she was when she left me and I should've believed her. If I did then my life would've been completely different. Lena and I would still be together and we would be raising our kids together. But here I am, married and miserable without kids and a pack that is being decimated by some mysterious diseas
Alpha Leo's POV. “This is crazy. She must know that Luke looks like you. So what did she say when you saw him?” Zeo asked. “She looked so scared Zeo, I mean the look on her face. I was the reason she was scared, because she knew that I had put two and two together.” “I knew if I confronted her, there was a high chance that she would high tail it out of here. She would take the kids and leave and I would never see them again. They'll both be gone and also any chance of saving our pack will be gone with them. I couldn't confront her, I mean it was clear from her reaction that she didn't trust me and I don't blame her. When I saw that look on her face, I wondered why she would be scared and my mind went back to that day.” “What day?” He asked me. “That day back at the club, when she came to tell me she was pregnant and the way I dismissed her. I told her the baby wasn't mine, I basically made them bastards. What the hell was wrong with me?” I ask mostly myse
"You're two weeks pregnant Luna Selene."I arched my brows, utmostly surprised when I heard the pack doctor break the news to me. I had no idea whether to be happy or sad, but I wanted to show my happiness.A smile carved at the corners of my lips, and I rubbed the tears that brimmed the corners of my eyes clean because the news was worth it.I had been waiting to hear this for three years after I got married to my husband, Alpha Leo. My husband, Leo and I had been married for three years, but I wasn't able to conceive. I had one most important duty, and that was to bear him an heir for the future of the pack, and every day, the gossips about my inability to bear a child became so toxic. Last time, Leo silenced those rumors and gossips, but I knew that as a strong and famous Alpha, he needed an heir to carry on his legacy. The pack needed an heir to ensure his bloodline never ceases.3 years ago, on my eighteenth birthday and the first day the moon goddess would present a wolf to me,
Very early the next morning, I woke up feeling less pain from last night's incident, still unable to believe what had happened. I had no idea why Leo suddenly changed last night, and as he walked away, I could see a totally different man in him. The way he spoke to me last night made me feel like he had a deep hatred buried down there for me.I sighed deeply, and decided to think positively. We had a child to raise together now, and that was enough reason and encouragement I needed to resolve any misunderstandings between us and find out what I had done wrong.I rose to my feet and reached for my phone on the couch. Leo had blocked my line from calling him. Thinking thoroughly, I suddenly realized I had not even the slightest idea where he could be or where he had gone through. I was worried he could be in the hands of another woman, and only that would shatter me completely.Feeling so frustrated, I decided to call my best friend Zoey. She picked almost immediately after the first
I stood at my spot, transfixed at what I had just seen. I could tell she was just as surprised as I was seeing someone who looked just exactly like her and bore the same marks as her.I had always had to hide the mark on my shoulder because my parents made me believe it was an abomination, even though I was never told why I had such. I always thought I was the only one who had such a mark in the entire world, but today I was proved wrong. Again, I felt even more insulted and disgusted that Leo had cheated on me with a girl who looked like me.Zoey, clearly furious, walked up to the stage and snatched the microphone from the DJ's in order to get the attention she needed. "Zillion club doesn't support cheaters, you over there, how dare you kiss someone else's mate?"The entire venue immediately went silent, and murmurs from the crowds filled the air."Why is she here?", "Why do they look so much alike? Who's the real Selene here?"Hearing people murmur things like this, I realized that

—Alpha Leo's POV— “Answer me!” I growl loudly and she flinches back. “I do not have to tell you anything.” She snaps back at me and I know this is like pouring water on stone, this is a losing fight, she's never going to tell me anything. “When did you become this person Scarlett?

—Lena's POV— Shit, no, no, no. This can't be happening right now, what the hell is he doing here? There's no way the kids are going to agree to go back into the house, not when we're already outside and they've been looking forward to this walk. I currently have my back to Leo, so I slowly turn around to face him with both the kids hands still in mine but thankfully my body blocks Luke and because Karla hasn't seen Leo before she hides behind my leg but not Lian, he keeps staring at Leo. “Hi, what are you doing here?” I asked him and hoped I could get him to leave before Luke decides to make his presence known. “I wanted to talk about what happened back at the lab.” He tells me. “Oh, we don't need to talk about that, it's all good, water under the bridge.” I tell him and hope in my mind that he takesy word for it and leaves. “Mummy, who are you talking to?” Luke asks from behind me and then he walks to the front and stands by his sis
—Lena's POV— Zoey sounded very dangerous at that moment. “You need to calm down Zoey, remember you promised. Plus I'm fine, she didn't do anything to me, luckily Leo came in at that moment and even if he didn't I would've handled it myself. So please take a few deep breaths for me.” I tell her and after a few moments she takes a deep breath and retracts her claws. “I'm calm now, don't worry, I won't go off and rip off that bitch's head, at least not today.” She says with a smirk on her face. I don't say anything, because with Zoey that's as good as I'm going to get it. “So, what did Leo do?” Zoey asked. “He apologized to me and dragged her out of there, she didn't seem happy about it.” I told her. “I bet she wasn't, but what's the deal with the both of them. I thought they would be living la vida loca but it seems like something is wrong with their marriage.” Zoey finally voices out what I've been thinking. “Yeah, I think so too.” I t
—Lena's POV— The moment they left, I let out a huge sigh of relief and slumped down on my chair, I did my best to hold back my tears. How dare she? She knew how to hit me where it hurt, she knew just what screw to twist, yes I am now rich and successful, but I wasn't always like that. It's true what she said, my parents were poor farmers, but it never bothered me because we were comfortable just the three of us, we had food to eat and we were happy. It wasn't until I started attending school that's when it started to bother me, I was bullied every single day because of my status and it also didn't help that I was born an omega. That's why after all those years of constant bullying it came as a surprise to me when Leo asked me to marry him, I thought it was a joke or a prank at first but then he showed me how serious he was and after that, people stopped with the insults and talking behind my back. Even after Leo rejected me, I did my best to come up in this world
—Alpha Leo's POV— I couldn't sit still after my talk with Zeo, he left to go talk with Gabe and then I answered the emails that I had and signed some documents that Zeo left for me on my table. Since the whole disease he had taken over day to day running of our business in the city because all my focus had to be on the pack and finding a cure. After I was done with all of that, I still couldn't sit still, I had this feeling in my gut that something was wrong but I didn't know if I should trust it, it could just be me wanting an excuse to spend more time with Lena. I sat down for another ten minutes but I couldn't do it anymore, I got up and left the house. It had been about two hours since I last saw her and if I got there and nothing was wrong she would think that I'm stalking her so I better come up with a good explanation. I got to the entrance of the lab and her assistants car was gone but there was another scent that wasn't Lena's, a scent that I would rec
