Xander walked out of the bathroom slowly, the towel he was using to rub his wet hair hung in the air as his pretty amber eyes gazed at Kaden who sat at the front of the couch, on the floor switching channels on the huge plasma television stamped in the luxurious living room." Kaden?" He called looking astonished.Kaden shot him a quick glance before he averted his gaze back to the television which was displaying a popular model walking down the aisle." You..." His didn't finish his words but still, he slowly walked towards Kaden." I thought you left." Xander said and dropped the towel in his hands on the chair." I didn't say I'd be going anytime soon neither did i leave. You started having delusions at this young age?" Kaden replied in a mutter relaxing his back on the couch.Xander made a face at him as he threw himself on the couch. " I thought I heard you saying you'd leave today, I mean, you said you'd leave after the party. Was I really having delusions?" " Maybe. You rea
" She's awake, Your highness." Silas spoke lowly." And she's been talking about telling everyone something, I've called the healer to the palace." He added slowly while Wymond continued gazing at him.Wymond eyes burned furious as he pushed Silas outside and ran past him, heading towards the door.Some guards shut their eyes tight and winced as Wymond shut the big, heavy doors with a loud bang." What are you waiting for? Follow him!" Silas yelled and the guards he faced hurriedly went after their Alpha, the reluctance on their face was clearly visible." You should have followed him instead, Silas." A guard spoke up showing his displeasure." What... did you say?" Silas turned to him with a scowl, his green eyes glinting angrily." I meant, you...you know how the Alpha could be when he's angered. We could all see how angry he is yet you sent those guards after him. There's a huge probability they won't come back complete or rather, alive." The guard expressed what he felt though he
Xander turned to look at her but he noticed her eyes were looking elsewhere, trailing her gaze, they fell on Kaden who was also watching them intensely as he leaned on a car." Xander." His serene voice called as he moved away from the car and started walking towards them slowly.Leilani's hands started shaking, she folded her hands beside her, biting her lips to control herself." Wasn't she just asking of him now? Why the sudden animosity?" She thought as his familiar scent started filling her sense of smell." He is..he is the one right?" She whispered, looking up at Xander and he nodded slowly.Leilani could see the questioning gaze in the other man's eyes as he seemed to hear the question she asked Xander.Xander shot a quick look at Leilani and he could see the way she looked as if she was holding in her breath as Kaden walked up to them.Shutting his eyes tightly for some seconds like he was summoning some kind of courage, he turned to look at Kaden who was returning the unfa
Tyron was still rummaging his brain on the reply he would give the Beta when he had an angry voice and a loud thud from outside the door.Tyron and Cole turned towards the door and almost immediately, the door pushed open revealing the angry face of Daria who was looking all red in fury.She was looking so scary at the same time beautiful with her deep red-coated lips and her usual scowling face, the maids behind her all had their heads bowed as they shivered, each praying they shouldn't be the next victim for her to pass her current aggression on." Hey!" She eyed the two men in the room. " Where's Kaden? Is he trying to make me mad or what? Doesn't_" " Hey? Me or him?" Cole snapped, cutting her off." Pardon?" She raised a brow but Cole only gave her a malicious look as he stood up, brushed past her and left the room.Daria mouth opened slightly, her hands folded tightly by her side like she couldn't believe what just happened.Letting out a low scoff and returning her usual haug
Leilani simply watched them as they exchanged words with confusion written boldly on her face.Walking slowly to the huge mirror in the room, she turned her back slowly to the mirror, her eyes cautiously looking at herself in the mirror.Without straining her neck much, her eyes caught it.Her eyes caught the line, the curves on her neck.Her blue orbs caught the silver, intricate lines and curves of a nautical star tattoo carved beautifully like an artwork on her neck." What..... what is this?" She removed her gaze from the mirror as she looked at the people in the room quizzically. Logan and Ivy who already had confusion written bodly on their faces looked more confused when they saw the quizzical look on her face." What does that look means?" Ivy asked, chewing her nails as she continuously squeezed something in her palm." Where... tattoo? What...I don't understand." Leilani stuttered with a disordered look and turned to take another look at the glamorous tattoo on her neck."
" Hello." Leilani muttered to someone over the phone as she glanced at herself in the mirror and she sighed when her eyes accidentally caught the artwork on her neck.Artwork! The word Logan had always been referring the mark on her neck as." It isn't a artwork for crying out loud." She would always protest but not like he would listen to her.And for some reason she didn't know, she hated when he calls it that or anytime he cast a displeased look at her neck.It just doesn't sit right with her."....not listening to me?" She heard someone ask in a fustrated voice and that's when she realized she was still on call." I'm sorry. Was lost thinking about some other stuffs. Any updates?" She added, pouring water from a jug into a cup." You don't pick my calls anymore and I don't understand why. Am I indirectly getting fired?" A feminine voice asked from the phone Leilani was holding." I thought I apologized earlier. I've been busy with a lot of things, didn't get time to catch up but
Umbrie was about to leave when she muttered a small 'oh' and turned to Leilani. " See that! I almost forgot, your neighbor said I should hand this over to you. Why's my body itching this much?" Umbrie pointed at a packaged box that she placed on the nearby table when she entered.Leilani's eyes dimmed as she saw the package that looked very familiar to the one in her room." Umbrie." Leilani called Umbrie who was already leaving the sitting room." Ahh! What is it? I told you my body's itching." Umbrie snapped, itching her body wildly." Who gave you this? Where did you get this from?" Leilani asked instead, ignoring her tantrums." I just said your neighbor gave me this to give to you. I even forgot the remaining things he told me." Umbrie said impatiently." Neighbor? He didn't say what the package was for? We just moved here some weeks back and if I were to check, I don't even know anyone around here. There are_" " Lani." Umbrie called. " You're also asking me like I know. And a
" I'll be leaving now, Umbrie. Please make sure to pick my baby up when it's time. Okay?" Leilani asked, fixing the wristwatch on her wrist properly." Sure, I will. But...you still haven't told me where you're going all dolled up? Did Logan ask you out on a date?" Umbrie lowered her voice when asking the last part.Leilani glared at her before letting out a small hiss." Your words can't get to me again. I know you too much already." Leilani shrugged as she checked her face in the mirror." You didn't answer me. That's not what I want to hear. Did Logan ask you out on a date?" Umbrie asked again, bulging her eyes out curiously." Leave me alone, Umbrie. If you know you need an answer urgently, you can just call Logan. Stop bugging me." Leilani snapped, thinking Umbrie would at least shut her mouth but she should have known the friend she has better." I'll call him when you leave. You know what? You look like an highschool most popular girl going on a date. Like hell! Who would guess
It's been years and so many things had happened, the good and the bad things. " I swear we didn't mean to at all. Things just happened all of a sudden but.....I don't regret any of it. I never did." That was Umbrie's words when Leilani got winds of things. The baffled Luna had only kept quiet as she stared at her sobbing friend. She looked up and stared at the Beta who nodded at her with a stubborn smile and she sighed. They had expected Lord Williams and the others to flip about Xander's sudden relationship with a human who wasn't even his mate but the man had gave a warm response and had welcomed his son and his new partner with a befitting smile on his face and it was finalized. Since Xander's father didn't have a problem with them then no one could either. Though, they had thought things would end there but no. Umbrie had gotten pregnant to not only Xander's surprise and happiness but to the others. Their wedding took place immediately and Umbrie became the Beta's arranged mate
" Dad, have you seen Erica since we came back?" Leilani asked, slightly worried as the maids and guards she had asked to find Erica were just coming to tell her she wasn't in the tower." No. She should be in her suite, she said she needed to take a nap." Pedro replied and Leilani gave a more deeper sigh. Erica isn't in her suite at all.She, Kaden, Erica and her father were just coming back from the prayers of Daria and her mother, Luna Ami. They had accompanied Kaden to his parents prayers too and Leilani did caught the slight guilt that appeared on her father's face but she didn't say a word and she wasn't going to.He was going to be fine, he wasn't an unfeeling pillar not to feel guilty on hearing about Kaden parents so he'd be fine. " She has a maid, doesn't she? Have you asked the maid?" Umbrie asked, she was holding Lucian and like the little man knew her since a long time ago, he wasn't getting all cranky." Aliya, right? Yes. Beryl, is Aliya around or is she also nowhere
Dane smiled as he stepped into the royal chambers where different suites of royal personalities like the Alpha, the Luna, the royal pups, Lord Duncan, the Beta and the others. Surely, he wasn't allowed to enter even though he had told the guards he just wanted to explore the area but Lord Duncan had given them the permission to allow him.He couldn't even believe it. From being an ordinary useless being in the evil hands of Wymond to being someone he was now. If he hadn't taken that courage to escape from Wymond's dungeon that day, he wouldn't have being what he was. For saving the Luna and most people lives by using his brother, Silas and by snitching on Pedro, Pedro had instead forgiven him and given him a noble title in the Ice stone pack. He was from the Blue moon pack but since no one wanted to rule on the evil seat of Wymond where he'd slain many innocent people, the Bluemoon pack had been converted into a very large market during the renovation that was still going on.He
Slowly and awkwardly, Umbrie looked away but just as she did, she locked gaze with Xander whose eyes glinted up immediately as he saw her. He looked kind of surprised too but Umbrie only bit her lips, whether he was surprised or not, it wasn't going to make any difference.The lady with him looked familiar that Umbrie's gaze lingered on her for a few minutes but suddenly she frowned. She seemed to have remembered who the lady was.That lady was the one who heartlessly pushed her off Xander that day and now she was hugging his arm? There wasn't much words to be told, she already knew who the lady might be to Xander.She stared at him again and this time, they stared at each other for a long time that seemed as if they were reading their souls but Xander broke the gaze as he raised his hand and waved but Umbrie only looked away while the Beta sighed at her behavior and unknown to him, Chantel had finished looking around and had saw the little interaction between him and Umbrie who alr
" I missed you too, my pretty girl." Umbrie replied, pecking Crystal's face all around while the girl let out short giggles like she was being tickled." Where's Uncle Logan, Aunt? Mum said he'd be coming with you." Crystal asked and Umbrie shook her head when she turned around and didn't see Logan." He was here not long ago, maybe he wandered off."" Okay." She paused but then, her face lit up. " Aunt, have you seen my brother? His name's Lucian and he's the most gorgeous baby brother ever. He looks exactly like my daddy." Crystal giggled excitedly. The pride and happiness were all over her face as she talked about her brother." Now you're increasing my urge and excitement to see him. Your mummy didn't get a replica this time." Umbrie laughed and the blonde lady only glared at her." Now Crystal, where's Eugenia? I remember telling you to show her around but you returned without her. Where's she?" Leilani turned to her daughter who let out a stressed sigh." That's it, Mum. I don
It was past the new year already and there was a small gathering but the Luna wasn't among them as she had given her pack a short visit just few days of prince Lucian's ceremony. According to Pedro, she needed to. It had been a long time the people had seen her and she needed to go see them, postponing the visit might mean she was never going to visit her pack again because the children might have grown by then and it'd be hard to leave them all one.The Luna had taken her daughter along too leaving only the frustrated but silent Alpha alone, she ought to be back before her birthday celebration which would be celebrated in the tower so Leilani didn't take long in the Ice stone pack.As for Chantel, Xander planned to speak a few words to her father during the Luna's birthday celebration, he wasn't invited but he'd surely tag along with the way he loved parties. He didn't come to the cross over celebration though and they seemed to know why, it wasn't a vicious celebration like a bir
Lucian's ceremony was a success and his mother was in her best smiles all through. He had received uncountable gifts from all the guests who had came from all over to see and greet him, the alpha and the Luna were more mesmerized by the Beta's gift.Xander had made a clean frame from that picture he had snapped in the hospital. He had made a photo of it but had given a sculptor to draw and frame it and had given them as a gift, Lucian especially. Leilani couldn't stop staring at it, it showed Lucian on his father's chest as he slept with Crystal crouching behind her father as she stared at her brother and with Leilani by the side, staring at them with a smile.The love in the drawing was everything and Xander had been applauded for that gift. The Alpha and the Luna had hung the picture in their chambers, it was a special gift and anyone would immediately see it when he or she enters the royal chambers.As a royal prince that he was, he was given many royal gifts but all that mostly
Lucian had a pair of gorgeous, hazel orbs that seemed to lighten up the room. He had completely taken his father's features, he had much hair despite been a new born and he also took his father's kind of hair. Curly black raven hair, his beautiful pair of hazel orbs, the lovely dimples when he opens his mouth to yawn, his cute nose and his small tiny lips, the Luna and the Alpha made a complete gorgeous baby." You owe me, Ped!" Lord Duncan yelled victoriously as he laughed while the Ice stone Alpha only grunted as he gently took his grandson.Everyone took time admiring the new born prince before the doctors had came and told them to give the Luna a little time to rest so everyone had left for the main time leaving only the Alpha and his little family.Leilani smiled as she carefully carried her baby from his sister's little laps where he laid without making any noise except staring all around and punching the air with his tiny fists. Crystal hadn't wanted him out of her sight at al
It hadn't been a long time since the prince and future Alpha of the Silvermoon pack was born but the joyful news had gone round like wildfire. The security had tripled because of the safety of the newborn as various people were coming into the pack and tower to pay their obeisance to the newborn and most of them were the people from the Ice stone pack and the people from the several borders of the Silvermoon pack.Alpha Pedro and Lord Duncan were all smiles at the joyful news and most especially was Alpha Kaden. Despite the many complications Leilani had faced at the earliest semester of her pregnancy, she had successfully delivered of their baby. " Thanks the goddess!" Pedro heaved. " My girl is the best, I didn't do any mistake taking her as my best child. I've always secretly wished for a male son which I didn't get but now, I was blessed with a grandchild instead." " It's obvious you do." Lord Duncan laughed. His mate, Lady Sally had also delivered a few months back and their
