~Jake~"You are certain that she went to meet him?”Aiden nodded in affirmation. I walked around my desk and sat down. My fingers curled into fists and I looked up at Aiden. “Why couldn't you get closer to find out what they were talking about?” I asked. “That would have helped us know what she was up to. What we have right now is just a baseless accusation. She can deny it. You know she is a pathological liar and a manipulator. We need something solid. We need to nail her to the ground and trap her like a rat. Do you think they're having an affair? Ella is smarter than you think, we are underestimating her and that is a big mistake." "They are not having an affair, Jake,” Aiden replied. “ There is something else going on. Ella looked more like the king while the councilman was like the underdog. She has a motive but I don't know what she was planning. She is getting too smart. I warned you but you didn't listen. I told you that Ella isn't who you think she was. She was deceiving y
~Xavier~When I saw that Kira wasn't moving, I panicked. I thought the worst had happened and that she died after the delivery. But when I felt her pulse, and found out that it was so weak, I got even more scared but the doctor reassured me that she was just sleeping. I didn't want to leave her side until she woke up. I was anxious. Whenever she made a noise, my breath hitched. I kept on looking at her making sure that she was still breathing. I didn't want a situation in which I left and came back and she was no longer alive. I was so scared that even when Alianna brought the baby near me, I couldn't glance at him. I was more focused on Kira and her well-being. I was relieved when she woke up and talked to me for a little while then went back to sleep. I guess the exhaustion must have gotten to her.I felt as if I could breathe very well again. I was scared over nothing. I have never been that emotional in my life. Although my hands are still numb, I am just glad that it is all o
~Kira~"Oh my goodness Kira, why are you crying? Don't tell me that you are feeling pain anywhere. What can I do to help you? You are really scaring me. I thought you said that you are okay. Should I get the Pack doctor to come back? Please say something." I chuckled slowly at the panicked voice of Alianna. "I'm not in pain, these are just tears of joy, Ali. You have no idea how scared I was. I thought that I wouldn't make it or maybe complications would arise. My nightmares tormented me every single day of my pregnancy and I was so sure that Xavier was going to choose me over the baby if things went haywire.""When the contraction hit me and the doctor wasn't around, I panicked. I thought that was going to be the end for me. I had no idea how I held on till the doctor got here. I am so happy that I got to hold my son in my arms. Just look at the way he is sleeping, so peacefully." Alianna smiled and touched my son's cheek.As soon as I woke up, the first thing I did was to ask of h
~Jake~"What?! Are you certain of what you just said right now or is this just another rumor that is going on in the Pack? You know we have a lot of those."I stood up, hastily walking towards the councilman."Yes, I am certain Alpha Jake. This isn't just a minor rumor. I am one hundred percent sure. I have people all around there and they are giving me the information that I need. The Luna of Crescent Pack has given birth. Alpha Xavier now has an heir who will take over the Pack when the time is right."I glanced at Aiden who was looking at the Councilman with obvious distaste on his face."And why do you have people in Crescent Pack? Why are you spying on Kira and Alpha Xavier? What exactly is your motive Councilman Martinez? There has to be a valuable reason why you took such drastic measures without telling your Alpha. Am I invincible or don't I have any authority anymore?" I growled lowly.He backed away in fear.The way he was darting his eyes around, I knew he was trying to com
~Kira~"How is my beautiful queen and my prince doing? I have always wanted to say that. I couldn't believe a day would come when I would utter that statement. This feels like a dream come true Kira. You don't know how excited I am to start a family with you. You can feel my heartbeat."I giggled at his words. Xavier tickled me a little bit, earning more laughter from me."Yes, I can actually.” I said “You seem more excited than me and I am happy about that. I just don't understand why you insist on throwing a party for me Xavier, it isn't a big deal. I just gave birth, it's not as if I gave birth to the moon goddess spokesman.""You're making a big deal out of this, I don't want to be the center of attention. I know a lot of people are not happy about my childbirth and the last thing I want to do is to have a party. This will give them room to belittle me more. Can't we just have a small gathering among the household? There is no need for the whole Pack to come or even those outside
~Kira~It has been a few days since the birth of my son. Everything seems to be going smoothly for me. It felt as if my life was finally taking shape. Somehow, I was no longer feeling downhearted but rather I felt victorious.When I remembered my conversation with Xavier a few days ago and how he was so adamant about throwing a party for Sawyer, my heart was filled with joy. There was no day that Xavier would not play with my son despite him being a little child and constantly sleeping, he didn't mind it.He would stare at him for hours, a very gentle smile on his face, one that could light up the entire room. I couldn't wait to give birth to his child. If he could treat another man's son like this, then I wonder how he would pamper his children.Just the thought of that made me all flustered inside which in turn was helping me in overcoming my insecurities little by little.A lot of people have come to visit me ever since I gave birth and not all of them had something nice to say. Ev
~Kira~I felt really sick. The urge to vomit was there. I can feel the bile building up in my throat.The last time I felt this way was when I was kidnapped and taken to Blood Moon Pack and had wolfsbane and silver injected into my system. I felt the same way I do now, but I think I will take back the torture to what I was seeing right now. This was just creepy and inhumane. Who will do something like this? I thought this only happened in the movies and in books that I have read at the library but I never thought that I would stumble upon something like this. No wonder the basement was off-limits. Did Xavier know what was in here or was it someone else who did this? How many years had they been left here? How couldn't anyone sense the awful smell that had been coming from the basement?I knew that the basement was offskirts from the main building but that does not mean that no one ever comes here. It doesn't look as if it has been cleaned for years, so dusty and moldy. There was no
~Xavier~"What is she still doing with you? You promised that after giving birth, you would discard her but what is she still doing here? Don't tell me that you are having second thoughts. Remember that you are doing this for your benefit and her safety."I ran my hands through my hair in frustration, glaring at the woman speaking to me."The more you grow selfish, the more people are bound to get hurt! How hard is that for you to understand, Alpha Xavier?"I looked away feeling angry with myself. I knew she would never have anything positive to say."What do you want me to do, kick her out?” I asked. “She just gave birth! How heartless can you be? Or don't tell me that you don't have a conscience. Where exactly is she supposed to go? I am meant to protect her, not push her away. We have to look for another way to solve this. I can't imagine life without Kira, you have to understand this. She is my mate. She is all I have.”She let out a humorless laugh. She was mocking me and I know
