''Sylvia.''
She didn't need to turn around to know that it was Brett who spoke. How he found her was something she didn't understand but she wasn't surprised because it wouldn't be that hard to find her considering that she was taking camp in her parents house.
With a deep sigh, she turned around, her hands soiled in manure. She had been doing some planting. Over time she had discovered that planting took her mind off several things and now, she could confidently call it her safe place.
''Brett.'' she murmured.
He looked so lean from the last time she had seen him and she had no idea what on earth happened to him. If he was looki
'I went to see Sylvia today.'' Brett said.It was the following day and another sad day in the Vetus pack mansion. It just seemed like when Sylvia left, she seeped out all of the happiness and goodness that was in the house. It was a very blue moment in the house, one that neither of them could quite wrap their heads around.Remus had taken to drinking and never in his life had Brett seen him this defeated before. Even all the battles he fought in never turned him to this. He just seemed to be a skeleton of his former self and he hated to think that this was how he was going to be till the end.''You need to snap out of it man!'' Brett snapped.
''Sylvia…'' Remus whispered.He wasn't sure if what he was seeing was real or it was only a figment of his imagination. He never expected to see Sylvia judging from what had happened but here she was, standing in front of him with an expressionless look.''Remus.'' she simply said.He didn't know if he could touch her, hug her and he decided to keep his hands to himself for fear of offending her anymore than he had already done.''Can i come in?'' she asked.Remus gave his face a mental slap as he ushered her in. He shouldn't have allowed a pregnant woman to keep on standing knowing the condition she was in. It wasn't fair on her and him as well. ''I'm sorry… I should have ushered you in since.'' he sighed.''It's fine.'' she smiled.Remus wasn't a fool and he knew that that smile was definitely not from her heart. As a matter of fact, there was a sad countenance on her face and he wasn't surprised about it because he had hurt her and hurt her badly. ''Sylvia… i can not begin to de
As promised, Remus served her a mouthwatering dish that left her salivating like a fish. Sylvia had never tasted something as delicious as the spaghetti Remus made for her. It just seemed like he knew what she wanted and he made it for her.''Man! I never knew you could cook this way.'' Brett laughed.''I like to hide my skills.'' Remus chuckled.''Too bad. I really don't know why you're hiding it, you're a pro.'' Sylvia grinned.She was happy and she could feel her baby happy too. It was all she ever wanted and she basked in the goodness of the feeling. Sylvia didn't know how to put it but she was happy, there was this joy and happiness in her that she couldn't quite describe. It was radiating through and off her like waves.Brett saw it too and smiled. He loved seeing her happy and he was quite glad he was witnessing it. He took the plates, placing them in the sink to wash. Remus sat beside her, tapping on his phone as he replied to a series of texts.Just then, Alpha Lowell walked
If Sylvia was surprised about this, she hid it well. Sooner or later, she knew that Daniella would come for her and now that she was here, she wasn't surprised. It was time for her to battle her and she would ensure she won with or without the condition she was in.''Alright, lead the way.'' she said.''What?! Are you crazy?'' Remus shouted, drawing her back.He couldn't believe that she was about to do something as risky as this. No one knew what Daniella came here for or what she had in mind but if there was one thing Remus knew, it was that she probably came here to kill. It had to be that or nothing. She wouldn't just come here like that just to battle Sylvia. She came here with the intent to kill and he couldn't allow that. Never ever.''No! I will not allow that.'' Remus shouted.He would rather die than allow her to battle Daniella. She was hiding a secret, a secret only she knew about and she was about to use it on Sylvia for her own selfish interest.''Remus! I have to do thi
''I'm alive.'' Sylvia grinned. That was the first thing she said as she woke up from a long nap. Remus chuckled, peppering her face with kisses. He was scared at a point when it was showing signs like she wasn't going to make it but at the end, she did and here she was, alive and well. ''Your wolf healed you faster.'' he grinned. Sylvia smiled, looking at him with love in her eyes. He had been there for her even when things weren't going smoothly and he was here, waiting for her, nursing her back to health. What more could she want than this kind hearted man. He gave her hope, gave her a sense of living and for that, she would be forever grateful to him and for his love. ''Thank you.'' Sylvia smiled. ''No, thank you. Thank you for being strong and for standing on your ground even when all hope seemed lost. Thank you for showing that bitch that you aren't a push over. Thank you for showing her that you are my wife, you are my love and you are the luna of the freaking Vetus pack. Th
A few hours later, Remus got back home with a small smile on his face. He knew that he offended Sylvia and all he was asking for in that moment was forgiveness but he knew it wouldn't come easy. Sylvia might not even listen to him and he was going to be content with that for now until he figured out a way to appease her.''Hey love.'' he smiled, walking into the room.Sylvia pretended that he didn't hear him as she continued chewing on her food. He had offended her and she wasn't about to let him off so easily.''Baby, I'm sorry for keeping you hanging.'' he sighed.He was tired and needed some rest but he wouldn't dare do that until he appeased the woman of his dreams. After the fight with Daniella, he grew more respect for her and he knew that he would never leave her no matter what happened.Sylvia gave him a look that could melt ice and in that moment, he knew that she was more than pissed. Livid even.''Remus, welcome.'' he clipped.''Remus? Really? No baby, honey or darling? Is
''You should sleep.'' Sylvia croaked.It was in the middle of the night and yet, Remus' eyes were still wide open. Sylvia couldn't deny the fact that he was still thinking and she had an inkling of what he might be thinking about. He would be thinking of how his own Commander, someone he had entrusted the Vetus pack to could betray him this way.''Sleep is far from me.'' he sighed, drawing her closer.Sylvia took comfort in knowing that he wanted her. She nuzzled his neck, breathing in his scent. It was calming and so very refreshing. All she needed him to stop doing now was to stop thinking, she was sure that everything would turn out fine. He just had to believe.''I know but you have to make an effort babe.'' she smiled.Remus knew she was right but still, he couldn't seem to do that. Every time he thought about it, he got more and more angry at what the asshole did which angered him all the more. He never expected him to do this but he realized that it was true what they said afte
''Are you ready?'' Brett asked Remus as soon as he came downstairs.Today was the day they would conduct the pregnancy test on Daniella and ever since, their minds were leaning on the fact that she was telling a blatant lie. Today would prove to them that she wasn't someone to be trusted. She was a liar, a thief and a destroyer of peace.''As ready as i'll ever be.'' Remus said.The outcome of today would determine if Sylvia would stay or not. She didn't say that but he had a feeling that she might leave. If she decided to do that, he wouldn't blame her at all because she had tried for him and the pack in general.''You look terrified and I've never seen you like this. Please, stop it.'' Brett said.Seeing his Alpha and best friend like this was enough to have him worried. He didn't want the issue with Daniella to weigh him down because he knew that she was telling a lie. It was very clear and he couldn't wait to prove it to all of them.''I honestly don't know what I'll do if the tes
''Daniella, I'm here. Where are you?'' Remus said as soon as he put his car to a stop.The men he had come with were already on the grounds, taking instructions from Brett and Alpha Lowel back at the mansion. The plan was for him not to engage in any conversation with anyone aside from Daniella so he wouldn't come off as suspicious.''I can see you, just walk straight down.'' she ordered.Remus began doing that, walking down with the phone still placed in his ear. He could hear movement from her end and he had a feeling that she was also trying to reach him.''Stop.'' she said.Remus did that promptly, looking around as he tried to see where she was. The darkness of the place didn't help matters as he was temporarily blind to everything that was around him. Just then, he felt a presence and he knew that Daniella was here.''Hello Remus.'' she said.Remus turned around and he got the shock of his life for two main reasons. For one, she was looking so haggard and unkempt she could be ea
''I have a secure location of where Daniella is.'' Brett said.They were at the dining table that morning when Brett made this announcement. The way he said it told Sylvia and Remus that he was very sure of what he was saying. There was a conviction in his eyes that couldn't be taken away and that could only be found in a person that was a hundred percent sure of himself.''Are you sure about this?'' Remus asked.Alpha Lowell graced them with his presence as they all had dinner together. Martha, who was supposed to be there, had to leave to go see her daughter who had just been put to bed and she wouldn;t be coming back anytime soon.''As sure as me beating you in a game of tennis,'' he said.Remus rolled his eyes, he knew that Brett would never allow him to hear the end of that argument, It was something that would be with both of them for as long as they lived. ''But seriously though, you know where she is?'' Sylvia asked.''Yes, i do.'' Brett said.''Then we need to clamp her down
''How are you doing ma'am?'' Sylvia asked.Since Remus wasn't going to be back on time, Sylvia had taken that opportunity to go see Jacinta's mother but under strict security details. Remus didn't know about this visit and if he knew, Sylvia knew that he would never have allowed her to go. Like he had said before, he wanted twenty four houses within the house.''I'm fine dear and you look so good.'' Jacinta's mother smiled.Sylvia was happy that she was glowing and she was looking relatively better compared to how she was the previous time she met her. There was a considerable improvement in her face which was something she was glad about. Sylvia had no doubts that Jacinta would be happy in her grave.''I could say the same for you.'' Sylvia smiled.''And don't tell me you're with a child?'' she said, looking at her stomach.How she knew was something Sylvia would never be able to understand. She realized that it was probably a mother's thing as a result of her being a mother.''Yes,
''Hello Dear.'' a voice said.Sylvia who was just waking up yawned, stretching her body as she stared at the direction from where the voice came from. She realized that it was Alpha Lowell who spoke. Immediately, Sylvia jumped on her feet, hugging the man whom she could confidently call a friend.''Alpha Lowell!'' Sylvia smiled.''Hello dear.'' he chuckled, hugging her.This was the first time she was seeing him since the attack. He had been like a comfort to her even in times when nothing was comfortable and for that, she was grateful to him.''I'm sorry about what happened?'' he sighed.''It wasn't your fault Alpha. None of it was, please don't blame yourself.'' Sylvia sighed.The last thing she wanted was for him to blame himself over something that wasn't his fault. Daniella and the commander were responsible and she was quite glad that there was one less evil in the city.''How are you feeling and how is my grandchild doing?'' he smiled.''I'm fine Alpha and your grandchild is do
''You suffered my wife, you made her starve knowing fully well that she's pregnant.'' Remus said, brandishing a whip.''I swear! I never knew she's pregnant.'' the commander croaked.He had been badly beaten and he could barely talk. The pain in his voice was evident and Remus wasn't quite done with him yet. He still had many more things under his sleeve that he wanted to dish out to him.''Oh but i'm sure Daniella must have told you right?'' Remus said.The commander grew quiet because he knew he had been caught in his lies. Remus never forgave and he knew these were his final moments on earth. ''Please.'' he begged, struggling with the binds on the chair.Remus walked towards him with venom in his eyes, holding the whip tighter. Without uttering another word, Remus whipped him, watching as it landed on his face.The commander screamed, holding his face in pure agony as the pain cut deep into his skin. He thrashed about but the binds holding him were very tight. There was possibly n
Sylvia whimpered, holding her stomach with a tight grip as she squeezed her eyes shut. The pain she was feeling in that moment couldn't be compared to anything at all. She was hungry, thirsty and she felt at that moment she could actually faint. She couldn't even feel her legs which made it all the more difficult for her to fight for survival.''Where am i?'' she whispered.Even her voice was cracked which wasn't helping matters even if she wanted to scream for help. Just then, the door leading to where she was kept opened with a bang. Sylvia jumped in fright just as she saw a familiar figure walk in. She didn't know if it was a figment of her imagination or if who she was seeing was really real but one thing she knew was that she knew who walked in.''I told you I would get you didn't i?'' the figure laughed.''Daniella? What is the meaning of this?'' Sylvia whimpered.Daniella laughed, walking closer to her like a predator about to catch its prey. The look in her eyes was one of no
''Where could she be?'' Remus asked.The call he got a few moments ago was to tell him that they knew Sylvia's whereabouts. All he had to do was come to a venue they were going to send to him alone. Remus knew this was a kidnapping scene and he knew he had to be very careful because he knew the condition his wife was in.He didn't want anything to happen to her because she was carrying his child and if anything happened to her, he would never forgive himself. Everything was all so strange to him. One minute she was here with him and the next minute, she was gone.When Remus asked for the location, he was told that it would be disclosed to him later. Everything was very suspicious to him and he knew he had to find a solution to it as soon as possible.''She's pregnant for god's sake!'' Remus seethed.He couldn't understand why anyone could be so wicked as to kidnap a pregnant woman, knowing fully well that she would be of no use to them. The only thing he could suspect about it all was
''You look so pretty.'' Remus gushed.Sylvia was sampling all the dresses he had got for her the previous day and Remus couldn't deny the fact that she was very beautiful in them. She looked like a queen at that moment and he knew he would love her for the rest of his life.''Thank you.'' she smiled, wiggling her butt.Remus knew she was tempting him but he wouldn't give in because he wanted her to rest. It just seemed like ever since she became pregnant, her sex drive had increased by a hundred fold. It was lovely to see but yet, he knew he had to control himself.''I know what you're doing Sylvia but it wouldn't work.'' he said.Sylvia pouted just as they heard a knock on the door. Remus knew it was Brett and he wasn't surprised when his Beta walked in. There was a look of unease in his eyes and Remus knew that something was wrong.''What's going on?'' Remus asked.He needed to know what had happened so he could be on track. It wasn't like Brett to be alarmed and now that he was, Re
The waitress on the other hand was shocked by how Sylvia responded to her and in embarrassment, she hurried away. Sylvia couldn't help but burst out laughing. She had dealt with the waitress real good and in her life she would never hit on another man ever again most especially a married man.''What is wrong with you?'' Remus laughed.He had never seen this side of his wife before, it was a daring side though but yet, he was happy she got to show this side of her.''I knew all along she was hitting on me but i wanted to see what you would do.'' Remus grinned.Sylvia chuckled, picking at her food before putting one forkful into her mouth. Ever since she got pregnant, she had been a very light eater but now, she had no idea where this food cravings came from. Maybe her child needed it and in that moment, Sylvia was happy to oblige.''Are you enjoying your food?'' Remus asked.Aside from the shitty waitress she had just dealt with, the food wasn't bad at all. In fact, it was the best las
