Stacey’s POV
.
I picked out my black dress that accented my curves, bared my shoulders, and exposed my long perfect legs. I was going to tease Adam...with something he had lost. Something that he should have been having if he wouldn’t have cheated on me just because I couldn’t get him a baby.
I had left for the salon from the packhouse to color my hair. I tried a multi-colored hairstyle. Blonde, red, reddish-brown, dark brown, and a few black strands. When the hairdresser was finished, I thought I looked cool and my hair looked stylish. As a benefit, no one could tell what my natural hair color really was.
I remembered those times when I had got ready in this way.
To attend the same party, the only differenc
Stacey’s POV.“It will work, right?”, I asked nervously.He chuckled. He surprised me by pulling my hand and brushing his lips against my fingers.“Don’t worry. You are going to get the best revenge for your mate.”, He said. “But this is not going to work unless you relax. You seem very on edge.”, He added.‘Is he not usually the one that freaks out and gets nervous, not me? I have to give it to him that he is very observant.’, I thought.I nodded, putting the best smile on my face. He intertwined our fingers and it surprised me how relaxed he was. Like he’s known me for a long time.
Stacey’s POV.The three of us grabbed a drink, looking around for our table. I could see Adam watching our every move. I ignored him, keeping my attention on my father and Derek. I had planned to keep Derek close all the time but instead of me doing that, he himself kept me close since we walked in. I liked the feeling of someone doing that to me, even though it was pretending. I still felt wanted.“Stacey, you should go and greet all the Alpha. In this way, you will get to know a lot of things that are happening around you.”“Sure, dad.”After a while,“It’s good to see you moving on Stacey with someone who really treats you like queen.&
Stacey’s POV.Everything was dark and hazy. I opened my eyes and the first thing I felt was the severe pain in my head. I opened my eyes and saw light peeking through the curtains. I felt cold like I usually do when I wake up in the morning. Normally, an image of Adam popped up in my mind when I woke up, reminding me of my broken heart.This time it was different. This time, the first image that popped up in my head was that of a much more handsome guy. His hazel eyes and his raven black hair. He looked just like a Greek god. His face was perfect. His body...his abs were percent, his muscles were well-toned and his skin flawless.Hold on?‘How do I know so many things in detail?’, I asked myself.
Derek’ POV.I didn’t know why I said that but I needed to make that fact clear. I couldn’t name anything about the incident which happened between us last night but I didn’t want her to feel like I abandoned her.I quickly removed my hand from her cheeks and moved back.“So, this was the reason why you called me here?”, I asked, doubting her intention to call me this urgent.“I…”I chuckled and shook my head. “Your father is mad.”“Mad? But why?”“Well, I was playing with my daughter when I received the ne
Stacey’s POV.“Ace!!”, My best friend, Laila, shouted my name when she saw me entering the packhouse. "Acccceeeee!!", She literally jumped in my arms and hugged me tightly. "I'm so happy to see you after such a long time. I couldn't help myself and waited here to see you, after I came to know that you’re coming here.”, She added in one go without taking a breath.I smiled and hugged her a little tighter than before. Laila was an Omega and that’s the fact that irked Adams a lot whenever I used to hang out with her or she used to visit me. I never observed when all my friends of lower rank started getting apart because of Adams.I was really foolish to let my friends go.“I missed you, Laila”, I whisp
Derek's POV."Come on. All of the guys are there; they will be happy to see you.", Laila said, holding her hand in excitement."It will be good to see everyone.""Though you better watch Lucy around Derek because we all know how big flirt she is, and she won't miss a chance to try to do the same which she did with Adams.""To be frank, I won't mind if she does that because I trust my man.", She said, grabbing my arm with her other hand. I was not sure whether she was pretending or telling the truth because I felt like she meant those words. Or maybe she was an amazing actor. "But she will be getting warned to stay away from him.""Come on, Bet…I mean Derek. We men are going to have fun in that area.", John said in excitement, pulling me away from Stacey."Hey!" Stacey faked her glares for stealing me."Don't worry. We have not invited any strippers." John winked at her before taking me away from her."You haven't partied since our mate's death, isn't it?', Rex asked.'Yeah. I hope I
Stacey’s POV.“What was that?” Laila asked, raising her brow when I returned back to them, holding Lucy’s hand.“What?” I acted innocently, leaving Lucy’s hand and sitting in the place where I was sitting before. Lucy chuckled, wiping her hair. “I went to bring Lucy from there because I wanted to save your mate’s life from you guys; otherwise, you would have might kill them for staring at Lucy’s sexy figure.”, I explained.“Oh! Come on! At least don’t lie in front of us.”, Lucy said, throwing the wet towel at my face. I growled at her for disrespecting me. If she hadn’t been my friend, I would have kicked her ass.“What am I lying about, huh?” I asked, throwing the wet towel back at her.“That you are planning to choose him as your mate.”, Lucy said, shrugging her shoulder.“It’s not like that. Okay!” I muttered and looked at Derek, who was enjoying himself with my friends and my friend’s mate even though he had met them for the first time, unlike Adams, who used to boss around using
Derek's POV.I must admit that she was too good at whatever work she did. I meant the way she handled the smell of burnt food was recommendable; being a werewolf, our sense of smell was too good compared to humans, but whatever magic she did, even I couldn't say that food had been burnt even a little."Damn it! I will surely be going to gain a lot of calories after eating all this.", Lucy commented, eating the foods like a hungry woman."You can eat like a normal human instead of eating everything like an animal that you are.", Laila commented, on which she earned a smack from Stacey for teasing her."Seriously, Ace!! I'm eating this amazing food after decades. I love it.", Owen praised."Really? And what do you think I cook like?" Ruby, his mate, asked, raising her brow. "Were you eating shit until now? Huh?""No, baby. I..I…""You are going to cook at home from now onwards.", She said, pointing her spoon toward him."Please, baby!" he pleaded, but Ruby ignored her. Everyone broke o
Stacey’s POV.Eight years later.I watched Nolan and Brianna playing together. They are best friends forever from the moment they started realizing the things around them, and since then, they have been inseparable. I missed Scarlett whenever I looked at them, but somehow I kept my feelings to myself, knowing Scarlett enjoyed her new life a lot. Richard and Dory never miss sending her new videos or photos. And as per them, she was still too bright to even after her powers were locked.The witch had told us that she could bind her powers forever. Whenever something would happen in her life that would trigger her brain mentally or physically, her spell would be broken. About her memory, until and unless anyone would tell her the truth, it was not going to return, which Dory and Richard had decided to say to her on her 18th birthday.“Mommy!!” I jerked my head hearing that word and found Vanessa, Adams, and Megan’s, adopted daughter. She was the daughter of their pack’s beta, but this
Third Person's POV.'I wish we could just treat all the injured people at once or call help for more medical staff or something to help everyone.' Scarlett heard her mother speaking and thought of helping everyone with her powers. She knew that her mother would be mad at her after releasing that she used her power and also broke the promise, but at the time, she felt that was the right thing to do because there were so many injured people in the hospital and it hurts to see them in this state.She was mad at Aaron for being ruthless and cold-hearted.She was mad at herself for trusting that he wasn't as bad as her parents had told her.She quickly ran to the place where the central air conditioning was and sighed in relief, knowing what she had to do next. She opened her arms and closed her eyes to concentrate so that she could heal everyone by reaching my powers near everyone by fans and ductwork.At first, she didn't feel anything, but she started feeling weak after a minute or so.
Stacey’s POV.I was trying hard not to take stress just like everyone wanted, but I couldn’t help myself because, just like Derek had said, the beast would lose free, and he would end up destroying everything. The same was happening, and no one could do a thing.It was not that we couldn’t defeat him by uniting together, but the problem was that he couldn’t be killed.I didn’t know what kind of experiment was done on him, but this was not less than a curse for us. And because of all this situation, Derek was working an extra hour. I was not complaining that he wasn’t spending time with me; he was. It was just that he was rarely getting time to take a rest for himself.Even now. I was rolling on the bed from here and there. I groaned and grabbed the pillow which Derek had used last night. I took a deep breath of his smell and relaxed for a moment. Immediately I winced as I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen.“What happened, Baby? Are you all right?” I asked, rubbing my belly. I tried to
Derek’s POV.Six weeks later!!!.I started at my beautiful mate, who was sleeping peacefully. Just two to three weeks more, our pup and the next Alpha of the pack would be in our arms. But before that, she needed to rest as much as she could because, as per the doctor, she had complications in her pregnancy.And after learning that everyone in the family never failed to enlighten her mood and kept her away from the pack duties as much as we were trying our best not to take any stress because the problem of high blood pressure could create a lot of difficulties. In the doctor’s language, ‘high blood pressure is associated with a higher risk of many other complications, like preeclampsia. It puts you at a higher risk of having a baby well before your due date. It also increases your risk of having a small baby.’ This is called preterm delivery.She had waited for this moment for this long; if anything went wrong with the pup, I had no idea what would happen next. As per the pup, he wa
Derek's POV.After spending a week in Paris and another in Switzerland, both Stacey and I returned to our pack because there were tones of work waiting for us. Though I knew the thing going on in Stacey's pack but had no idea about the pack of which I had become the Alpha. It was not that I had no idea about the pack members or people staying here. Since I was born and brought up here, I knew everyone here but not the internal information and the details."How will we handle the things? Of course! We just can't jump from here to there" Stacey said the same thing I thought. Thankfully, she was now over her vomiting phase in these two weeks. Now, she keeps demanding food, not that I was complaining about that part.It was just that I was enjoying this phase, and I didn't want to miss all these moments with my mate because of work."Well, I guess both the packs needed to be merged again just like before in your father's reign or before your wedding with your ex-mate.""I would have unde
Derek’s POV.The last thing I remembered before I slept was I was holding my mate in my arms and Stacey snuggling closer to me, but in the middle of the night, she just not untangled herself but almost threw me away from the bed forcefully. It wasn’t that she was strong like a hulk, and I was weak as a kid. It was just that I was not prepared for that, and her attack was all of a sudden. Because I could have understood anything, Stacey ran toward the washroom, and the sound of her puking followed after that. I quickly recovered from my state and ran to check on her.Just like the other day, I saw her kneeling in front of the toilet, her face in the toilet bowl. I took a few steps more and kneeled by her side, and caressed her back, whispering soothing words in her ear.I knew this was not going to help, but at least it would make her feel good, knowing that someone was by her side. When she was done, I cleaned her up instead of letting her do it on her own. I couldn’t share the pain
Derek's POV.I observed the sleeping figure in my arms. I knew she was a hell of tired because of one after another thing. Instead of home, our car took the route of the airport.Little did we know that we were going on a honeymoon. Everything was planned by our parents already to surprise us. But no surprise could be equal to the news of Stacey's pregnancy.The best, in fact!I had already consulted with the doctor, and there was no issue in traveling as long as she took proper rest. And I promise to let her take rest as much as she wants to. I wasn't going to allow her to do anything and take any stress.I thought she would be awake after reaching the airport, but she didn't. Generally, werewolves never sleep in deep slumber like she was sleeping now. I believe the reason behind her peaceful sleep was that she was with me. I remembered her saying that she trusted herself with me. I picked her in my arms. She stirred a little but again hid her face against my chest.Jason, my new be
Stacey's POV."Do I look like a mini version of mommy now?" I heard my little daughter asking who had worn a little white dress with a crown on her head, made up of white flowers.Jr. Scarlett was going to become the flower girl, and Laila's son was going to be the ring bearer at our wedding. That's why his son, Xander, who was three years old, had worn a dress that was similar to Derek's."Yes! Absolutely.", Sr. Scarlett responded, and then she looked at me.I could never thank her enough for the happiness which came in my life as a Derek. She could have acted like bitch and would have got married to Derek, but for the sake of Derek's happiness, she let him go."You look beautiful.", She gave a compliment."Thank you.", I said wholeheartedly. She tried to hide her sadness behind her smile but failed miserably when I smelt her feelings. "And I'm sorry.""Sorry? Are you feeling sorry for falling in love with Derek?", She asked, arching her brow."No. Not because of that but for hurtin
Stacey's POV.I didn't know how to react to the news that the doctor had just broken.I was already in shock when I had hardly opened my eyes and Alicia started shouting 'MATE' in my mind.Mate? I didn't want any want, mate. I was not ready for any mate. Couldn't I stay single for a while without being mated to anyone? First, Adams, then Derek, and now this guy!! I was having an inner battle about everything when Alicia said.'It's Derek. He is our second chance mate. I know this scent. It's definitely him.', She howled happily, but I wasn't happy about it.We had Derek as our second chance, mate, only when…Did he reject his mate for me? How could he hurt his mate? That thought was making me sick again.'Just stop overthinking. I'm sure we will get to know about everything after talking to him about it.', Alicia said, and that's when the doctor said something, which again shocked me to the core!I was pregnant!I was pregnant!I didn't know how the hell was possible, but before enjo
