~Jake~The weather was perfect and I couldn't miss going for a run in my wolf form. I felt so invigorated. That was a good feeling for me. Running in my wolf form was exactly what I needed.It has been so long since I did that. Being an Alpha was certainly not easy, it was taking all of my whole time that I even forgot the way to get rid of stress from my body. I felt like taking a month-long holiday far away from Halfmoon Pack and far away from all these toxic companions that were sapping all the energy I had but I knew that if I did that, the Pack would be in chaos and shambles. There was no one else to lead it the way that I would.Aiden would do a good job but he might not perfect it because he has a short temper. I just wanted to avoid all Elders of the council. They are the ones who were giving me a migraine and I was not in the mood to entertain any of them.They called for a meeting but I was not going to attend. They could sort out their problem by themselves. I have other
~Jake~It felt exhilarating to see him bowing so deeply. It seems as if the moon goddess was humiliating my enemies one by one.Who would have thought that Councilman Martinez would ever beg for forgiveness from me? He was so full of himself and that is exactly how his son Jason behaved. He ran his mouth that he would leave the council if I didn't remove Aiden as my Beta, yet here he was, begging to be taken back.Did he think it would come easy? I don't know what made him apologize to me but I didn't have a good feeling about it, and from the look on Aiden's face, I can tell that he wasn't too thrilled about his apology.If it was up to him, he would tell the guards to throw him out of his sight. I wouldn't let my guard down where he was. I didn't trust him. There was something off about him, but I couldn't quite place my finger on it yet. His apology looked forced, as if someone was putting him up to it. The apology sounded so insincere that he must have rehearsed it and for a whil
~Xavier~It has been days since my fight with Jayden and Alianna's recovery. Everything seems to have returned to normal. At least Kira was spending enough time with me. She was no longer distant even when she was having her usual mood swings. It was really amazing that despite her being pregnant, Kira was not weak. The only thing that was evident was her protruding belly. Other than that, there was nothing out of the ordinary. She was glowing. I felt as if I was falling in love with Kira every single day of my life. I have never felt this way before, not even with my ex-mate. I didn't feel this level of attraction towards her. Jayden may call it obsession, but I call it love. At least I was not a coward like him who couldn't even tell the girl he likes how he felt.I knew he felt something for Kira, but I also knew he felt something for that little brat, Alianna, and had for a long time. It was so obvious that she was his mate. There was this unspeakable bond between them and when
~Kira~I don't know if I should hug Xavier or kiss him, but he finally granted me something I wanted even though I didn't say it outrightly. I never knew that he was observing everything that was going on. He knew that I was uncomfortable with Loren's presence. I never thought that he would kick her out of his house, but he finally did and I could breathe again because that girl was starting to suffocate me.She was making life unbearable for me, making me feel paranoid; and if Xavier hadn't kicked her out, who knew what she would have done to. She always had this jealous look whenever she stared at my protruding tummy even though it wasn't Xavier's baby. It was obvious she wished she was in my position so she did everything to bring me down, reminding me that I was not carrying Xavier's child as if I needed a constant reminder about that.Loren knew there was a hundred percent chance that I would have a baby with Xavier after I gave birth to this one I was carrying. That was Loren's
~Jake~"No signs of them. I am getting anxious just waiting for them to show up. I don't think they will come, this is ridiculous," I tapped my feet against the floor impatiently as I muttered under my breath.Looking around the grand ballroom, I took in the nice decorations. Even though it kills me to say this, Ella did a tremendous job with all the decorations. The guests were looking eye-catching, everyone tried to appear more sophisticated than the other. The men looked all arrogant with their high-collared, long jacket suits. Even though the clothes were tailored to perfection, they still couldn't resist having their hats on their head. Those who didn't have the complete attire were given judgemental looks as if they didn't belong there. The women gossiped amongst themselves, sizing each other up. I knew most of them forced their partners to spend so much money on them. Those who wore real diamonds and fancy-looking pearls, felt like they were on top of the world, forgetting th
~Xavier~"What did you do, Xavier? Do you have any idea what your actions would bring to us? Did you even think this through or did you just act on impulse just like how you always do?" Jayden asked, frustration dripping from his voice."Think what through? There is nothing to think through, Jayden. I have told you this always, it's either you sink or swim. Either you eat or you get eaten alive by ravenous wolves. I am not a prey, and I would be damned before I would become one. You are my beta, start acting like one. I am sick of you acting like a wimp. You are embarrassing me Jayden. This isn't you, grow a spine for once in your life." I shoved him back when he got in my personal space. He stilled at my glowing red eyes, my claws ready to attack if he made one wrong move. He may be my Beta but I am so over him trying to put me down in anything I was doing. I was not a child, I was his Alpha and it's time I stopped being too jovial with him. He is forgetting that I was his Alpha, n
~Kira~I inhaled and exhaled deeply, my feet tapping nervously against the floor. I was at the hospital for my final checkup because Doctor Emily advised it. My nervousness wasn't hidden at all. I was scared of everything. I was scared of childbirth. I exhaled again and threw my head back, looking to the ceiling. "Relax Kira,” Xavier said, holding my hand and giving me a big smile. “There is nothing to be nervous about. Everything is going to be fine. If you are scared, you can just hold onto my hand. I will never let you go. I am with you in this together. I will see it through with you. I will never abandon you."Somehow his words made me feel safe and nervous at the same time. Maybe it was the hormones that were making me this way."I know that I am not supposed to be fearful or nervous but I can't help it, Xavier. What if something goes wrong? What if the doctor tells me that my baby is no longer healthy? What if I am sick and I can't deliver this baby and then they have to save
~Ella~"I have never been so humiliated in my life, Luna Ella. You should have seen the way the Alpha looked at me, so arrogant. It was so obvious that he was happy that I was begging him. Alpha Jake is nothing but a fake. He lets people believe that he is modest when he is an arrogant man with too many trust issues." I glared at the idiot who seemingly wasn't thinking with any part of his brain.If he wasn't working for me, I would have slapped him so hard on his face that he would have felt the impact. Who the hell did you think he was to badmouth my husband like that? I don't even want to make myself annoyed but I had to humor him hence why I was in this hallway listening to this crap. The party was already in full bloom and I can say I did a good job judging from the compliments and even the turn-up."You lack patience and that is something that I dislike. If you want the Alpha to trust you a little bit, then you have to kiss his feet if possible. If he tells you to roll in a p
