SALLY'S POV It was finally morning and I was going to leave the house, I would leave with a very heavy heart after what happened the night before. I had cried myself to sleep, ignoring the constant plea from Ralia, Sarah, and my dad that I opened the door. I woke up early, with the mindset that I would be traveling that morning, and my drop would be at the pack house as early as possible. I walked straight to the shower to have my morning bath, after bathing and brushing my teeth, I walked back to the room and dressed up in a very simple black gown with sandals, I wanted to be comfortable during my travel. I picked up my handbag and a small box. I had intentionally carried a small box because I didn't want to travel with a lot of loads. Getting to the sitting room, Ralia, Sarah, and my dad were already seated there waiting for me. "I thought you were going to change your mind, Sally?" Ralia asked. It was more like she said it, and there was no need to answer the question, espec
SALLY'S POV It's been two days since we settled in our new house, and my fever seemed to be getting worse. "Sally, you can't continue like this. Every illness deserves to be treated instead of being ignored constantly. I know you think this is a minor issue, but you should go for a check-up at least, no matter how mediocre or small an illness seems, it should be properly taken care of before it escalates into something else", Ralia begged. She was seated in front of me with a hand towel, and she wiped my face with the wet towel, while I lay in bed my head resting on the pillow. My food was lying on the table, the pap would get cold and would end up in the trash bin. I couldn't eat because if I did I would throw up, and I was losing weight badly. "Sally, I would never forgive you if anything should happen to you, why not let's go to the hospital?" Ralia pleaded further. "I will be fine Ralia, taking me to the hospital wouldn't change a thing. After all, it's just a minor fever
SALLY'S POV I lay in my bed all week crying my eyes out. "You are seven weeks gone, so it would be risky and almost impossible to take the baby out", the doctor's voice wouldn't stop ringing in my head. I kept counting weeks back, and it kept rhyming to the last time I had sex with alpha Derek. "Why will you go down with him without protection if you didn't want to get pregnant for him?" Ralia asked me. "I_ I thought he was the perfect man for me. I was so in love with him, and since he was my mate, I was so sure that nothing would come between us", I replied. "But since all of these has already happened, the only solution right now is to move on with your life, else how long will you continue to sob? Plus, all of this is unhealthy for your baby", Ralia advised. I continued to sob while wiping my face and nose with my face wipe. How would I bring forth alpha Derek's seed to this earth? Anytime I look at his face I would see his father, I would remember the fact that the bl
ALPHA DEREK'S POV (FIVE YEARS LATER) Healing happens, it happens in different ways and at different times. Sometimes it takes time, sometimes it doesn't. As for me, I thought I was strong and tick-skinned, so my healing would happen immediately, but I was wrong. Losing Sally was my biggest regret ever. It was one thing that hurt me so much even more than the successful revenge. I always thought I hated my parents until I saw their lifeless bodies, then I thought it would be the most painful thing that would ever happen to me until I saw the woman, then that wasn't still the most painful part. It was when I saw Sally, and when I realized I was going to lose her forever, and it took me good five years, five whole years to completely heal from it all. My pack had been a mess after the whole issue, especially since I had to pick up another trusted beta after the death of Mike to run the pack house, alongside my weak self. Since I was fully recovered, I decided to take a vacation, awa
SALLY'S POV "Hello", I said immediately I picked up the call. I was seated on my bed working on a few stuff with my system when the call came in and I had to pick it up because it was from Ralia. "It's Diamond, Sally. I can't find him, he has started with his pranks again, and I do not know how to contact Stephen for his phones are both switched off", she nagged. She was almost crying, and it was evident from the sound of her voice. "Calm down Ralia, this isn't the first time Diamond would be acting this way if I'm not wrong", I said. "But_ but this time around it I'd taking longer to find him", she cried. "Have you asked his teachers? Ask the gatekeeper if they saw him walk out of the school premises", I suggested. "Sally, I'm_ I'm not sure anyone has seen him after classes today", she replied. She was sounding tense, and I was too calm for a mother whose son just hit missing. I believed he wasn't lost, and I was calm because I knew my son was safe. If I had a bad feeling
ALPHA DEREK'S POV "Diamond!" I called. "You have such a sweet name, your mom must love you so much", I complimented. "She does, and my daddy too", he replied. "Plus my second mommy", he added quickly. He didn't want her to be left out. "So, since your second mommy loves you so much why are you punishing her?" I asked him. I was still lowered to his level, and although my leg was beginning to hurt, I didn't mind it cause the kid was taking away my mind from the pain I was feeling in my knee. "Because she doesn't always listen to me. I want to show her how she makes me feel whenever she doesn't do as I requested", he replied. "Little kid, you already know how to take revenge", I teased. "I am not a kid, I am a man", he shouted at me and slapped my back. I immediately remembered myself as a kid, my parents would always insist I was a kid because I didn't want to join them, and I didn't want to take after their habit of killing almost everyone. I would always insist that I wasn't
SALLY'S POV "My baby!" I carried Diamond up and kissed him, then placed him back on the floor. "I heard you troubled your mom so well today why?" I asked him. "She didn't give me what she promised", he replied. "And what could that be?" I asked him. "She promised to come with Daddy but didn't fulfill her promise, is that fair?" Diamond asked me. "I apologize on her behalf honey, we are very sorry about that", I said. Ralia held his hand with her left hand, his bag was hung on her shoulder, with his lunch box held in her right hand. The three of us began walking towards his room, that was the first place we should go, so he would freshen up before eating. "You guys always have excuses whenever Daddy doesn't make it to my school, what is the excuse now?" Diamond queried. "Son, we are not trying to make up excuses for your daddy, he is busy today and had promised to pick you up tomorrow", I assured him. "That is what you will say, that is what you always say but he only shows
ALPHA DEREK'S POV After my encounter with Diamond, I could to think about him. It was a miracle that I escaped his mom the last time, but it wouldn't stop me from visiting him during his break period as I had promised. I planned out my day and scheduled the visit to Hilton school, by ten am the following day. I thought about him and my childhood life reflected in him. I wished things didn't go sour between Sally and me, we would have our baby by now. I badly wanted to be called daddy, and since the child was doing that for me, I would keep visiting him especially since I didn't have my child. Not only that I didn't have my kid, I wasn't sure if I would ever be able to carry my child, well except I would opt for an adoption. My heart wasn't ready to love yet, and I didn't see myself falling in love with any woman, anytime soon talk more of giving birth to a child. After Sally left, I promised myself that I was going to stay single, and I didn't mind if she was already married or n
