"Vanessa Valtin" My principal called out my name when it was my turn to walk the stage.I heard the crowd clapping loudly for me as I walked across the stage.As I shook hands with my former principal, and received my diploma. I turned to the crowd and raised my diploma in the air, showing that I made it.I spotted Valerie in the crowd, clapping furiously for me. Then I saw Leo, Maria and Jace.They all came here to support my friends and I.I stepped down the stairs cautiously, my due date was suppose to be June 20th which was two days ago.My family and friends were acting like they were walking on eggshells around me.The doctor had told me to take it easy, my new doctor. Demetrius had gotten me a different doctor after things went down with Dr. Andrews and her daughter.The graduation was finally over and everyone scattered to meet with their loved ones* * * * * *"You did it!" Valerie exclaimed proudly, and then she engulfed me in a big sister hug."
It was the day of my birthday and I hadn't seen nor heard from Demetrius.Everyone had called and texted wishing me happy birthday, everyone except the person I wanted to.It wasnt that I wasnt grateful for the people who wished me happy birthday, I just want it from that special person.Walking downstairs I saw my bestfriends and Maria sitting in the living room."What're you guys doing here so early?" I questioned.At the same time Valerie came rushing out of the kitchen."Okay guys, we have appointments let's go" Valerie ordered."Wait appointments, for what?" Nobody answered me as we all piled in Valerie's car, me riding shot-gun of course.When we arrived to a spa place called 'Beauty Palace'."Hey, we came for the appointment for 10" Valerie was talking to the receptionist as I looked around.There were walls filled with nail and beauty products. The place had a cherry vibe to it as I took in the white and baby blue walls."Please follow me" A woman with bright red hair came to
"Vanessa you're totally glowing" Micah complimented me."Thank you" I told him sincerely.Looking in the mirror, I was shocked to day that I look somewhat presentable.My makeup was light, I had on a rose pink lipstick. My brown locks were wanded, but they layed down down below my shoulders in loose waves.I was already in my dress, I fell in love with it as soon as it touched my skin. Looking into the full body mirror that the make-up artists brought with them.I felt like a pregnant Cinderella, having on a light pink lace maxi dress that was off the shoulder. As the dress went down from my chest it gave me enough room for my huge belly, the rest of the dress pooled to the floor.One of the ladies came behind me and placed a flower crown on my head.I felt beautiful and proud, I didnt think that it would come out this well.Turning around I faced my sister, "How do I look?""Beautiful, naturally beautiful" Valerie said, she looked beautiful also wearing a long red ball gown."Thank
~FLASHBACK~I watched the butterfly flap its beautiful wings across the sky, it landed directly on my nose.Valerie and I were outside gazing at the sky, pointing at the animal shaped clouds.We had been playing with the pack children but soon enough I didn't want to play anymore."Valerie and Vanessa, it's time for lunch!" Mom shouted.I got up at the sound of Mom saying lunch, my stomach had been coaxing me to go inside.However, Valerie still lied down on the green grass, her eyes focused on the sky intently."Come on Val, its lunch time" My 7 year old self squeaked to my sister.I nudged at her, and when she still hadn't I pushed her over making her roll onto her face."I'm coming,Van" She groaned as she pulled herself up off the grass.She grabbed onto my small hand and carried me inside, at the pace she was moving my shoe had slipped off my foot.I tugged my hand out of hers and went back for it, I saw a man in the distance watching the house.Not trying to stay outside any lon
Demetrius POV 💲"Demetrius, where's that mate of yours?" Dad asked, walking in front of me."Her and Ben went outside for some air" I answered, shifting in my seat."Oh well, I wanted to have another dance with my daughter in law" He told me.Dad called one of the pack members over and sent them outside to fetch Vanessa and Bentley."She is truly something, son" Dad said, smiling sincerely."Yeah, she is" I smiled genuinely, my mind ran off to her making me even more happy."I can see you love her alot, do me a favor and never lose her" Dad said and looked me in my eyes."I won't""Sir, the Luna is lost" The pack member that Dad sent out came back in a panicked state.I could feel my heart dropping,"What do you mean lost?""As in can't find her, it means not found" I pushed passed the babbling idiot and ran outside.Her scent was nowhere to be found, I felt tears prick in my eyes."VANESSA!," I shouted aloud, rattling the forest.VANESSA'S POV 💋I felt water being splashed on my fa
VANESSA'S POV 💋"Ah-ah, don't think you could get away" Tyler wrapped his hand around my throat.I gripped the piece of glass tightly as he pressed his palm against my face.My movements were quick as I rammed the sharp object in his hand making him scream in agony, I then kicked him in his baby maker.He bent over groaning in pain, I saw the knife in his back pocket and quickly took hold of it."You talk to much" I spat kicking him once again, I turned around about to sprint out of the wooden shed when Tyler gripped my ankle.I kicked him in the face and he let my ankle go free, feeling the immediate pain after in my stomach I ran out of the shed.I saw Patrice walking towards me with Bentley, running to the side I turned my body so she couldn't see me."Hurry and pee, you dog" Patrice hissed at the young boy. I could see he was looking for a place to let it go, luckily he came right over where I was.He was about to pull out his wee-wee and do his business until he saw me. Bentley
Bentley's POV 🍫I took off running when mommy told me to.Trees and branches hit me in the face nonstop as I ran through the forest, it scrapped my arms and my legs but I couldnt stop running.Mommy looked as if she was in so much pain when that mean lady attacked her. That mean lady is my ex-mommy, she used to hurt me real bad.I gripped the cloth that was in my hand tighter as I saw lightning strike across the sky and I sped up."Daddy!" I shouted into the dark forest.My heart was pounding really fast as I called out my daddy's name.Suddenly I bumped into a tree with legs, but when I looked up I saw it was an unfamiliar man.He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder, I started to kick and scream as he carried me through the forest."NO!, Put me down. My mommy is in trouble!""Alpha we have found your son, but the Luna is yet to be found" I hear the man say.He set me down on the ground, I glared at the man."Bentley" I heard daddy's voice as arms wrapped around me."DADDY!" I
Quote: There was an ending before there was a beginning.VANESSA'S POV 💋I watched as Bentley played with his baby sister, he pointed at the glowing Christmas tree. She looked at them excitedly and she was smiling widely.Today was Christmas Day and Lila was already six months, making this her first Christmas.It felt as if it were just yesterday when I had her.Everyone was so sure I was going to have a boy, Martin was fairly upset when he found out he was wrong. But once he met her she was already his princess.After I had given birth, I blacked out from the overbearing pain in my body. I had to take certain medication for it.Demetrius had Patrice and Tyler locked up and he lost all his rights as Alpha, for now his Beta was in charge until Bentley was the right age to take over.Tyler was his father after all, but Bentley didn't acknowledge neither of his biological parents.Demetrius and I took full custody of Bentley so he no longer had Patrice' last name, we both took Demetrius'
Demetrius' POVI felt frozen in my own body as I watched my mate leave me, I could feel a hand on my shoulder as I saw her left. It felt as if my life was being taken away. The sky grew dark as I stared into the distance a while after she left. A pit of rage filled me and I stepped away from Patrice's hands.I stalked inside and went inside the living room, and an awful pain struck my head. There it was, the pain of glass being struck against me. I finally came to my senses and touched my face.When I pulled my hand away, there was blood on my fingertips. I didn't remember what happened before being hit. But I i know ill never forget the look on Vanessa's face.Hurt. Betrayal. Regret.I did that.And I felt stupid for it as I yearned for my family, Patrice watched me closely and came up to me placing herself between my legs. I looked up at her and pushed her away."You!""Me?" She said e
Demetrius and I haven't had a full conversation in weeks, mostly mornings and goodbyes. There was little to no affection. I partially felt bad but I couldn't help the way I felt. I didn't understand how he could put his crazy ex-wife over his loving wife and family. Yet there she was back into our life, slithering and making her moves. Taking my family away from me piece by piece. "I mean I understand it a little on his part, it's still Ben's mom," Lizzie said, taking a sip from her coffee and resting it back on the coaster. I had met up with my friends today, and instead of staying at home and talking I wanted some privacy so we left and went to a coffee shop about two towns away from the pack. Since Patrice moved in a few weeks ago, I haven't been able to have any privacy to myself, between dealing with the kids and avoiding Demetrius. Patrice is practically everywhere I turn now. "Yeah, but it isn't like he's Ben's real dad," Micah said pushing his glasses up further on his
Vanessa's POV My eyes had begun to close, sleep almost surrounding me, allowing me to forget that I was pregnant and a small child was in front of me. Ben snuggled up closer to me, I had just finished reading him a bedtime story and he was about to fall asleep. His small breaths became more rigid as he started to cry out for help. "Mommy, please don't leave me!" Tears started to fall his sleeping face, his small chubby face was filled with pain. He was scared I would leave him as his actual mother did. "Ben, baby I'm not going anywhere, I won't leave." I tried to calm him down the best way I could. I woke up to an empty bed, Demetrius' side was cold as if he never came home. But he did only he didn't sleep beside me. He sat in the chair across from our bed and watched me the whole night. That's how most of my night went. Both of us stared at each when he came in after three, I knew he had been to see her. He'd been spending all of his free time with her. I took off in the bathro
Vanessa’s POVI placed my hand on my chest, feeling for the necklace I had grown so fondly to love over the past few years. Demetrius gave it to me a few years ago. I’d never forget that day. It was a symbol of a family we had made together. The ringing sound from my timer startled me from my train of thought. A small smile formed on my face when I realized what it meant. The cookies I had been baking were finally done. Sighing in content, finally getting sometime to myself. Lila was at daycare, Bentley was at school, and Demetrius went to work. It was the first time in a while that I had time to myself.Ever since I moved in with Demetrius and we had the baby I barely had anytime to myself. It was family time all the time. Not that I was complaining. I loved my little family. Soon enough, it was time for them to come home. Waiting patiently, I allowed the cookies to cool on the cooling rack before placing them on a dish. “Mommy!, you baked cookies” I could hear the excitement
