.
“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.I didn't know for how long I was awake and looking at the sleeping figure beside me. There were two reasons for staying awake.One, I didn't want him to leave me alone on the bed just like that.And second, the fact that this was the last time we came this close was haunting me.I didn't want this to be LAST.But then, what should it be? Dating?I didn't know whether I was sure that I might need to check my feelings for him. At the same time, did he want to be with me? I wouldn't have this doubt if I wouldn't have been barren. After all, I had everything a man could need."Stop staring, Stacey." I heard him speaking even though his eyes were closed.How couldn't I figure out that he was awake?'That's because you are too busy with your thoughts.', Alicia reminded.I observed him turning his body in another direction, showing me his back. I smiled when an idea came to my mind. I bit my lips as I let my eyes trail his body. I knew he was naked under the sheet. So, I slowl

Derek's POV.I sighed in relief when I finally told her about Scarlett's identity, and she didn't create a hype about it by yelling or screaming that why the hell I was taking care of a baby who has vampire blood in her veins. Well, her reaction was much better than my own parents, who were on the verge of disowning her just because they found out she was drinking blood like a vampire.I recalled everything that happened today from starting to end and smiled like an idiot. Finally, we admitted that we wanted each other. Though we didn't promise anything about the future, but there was a slight hope about it; otherwise, she wouldn't have said about releasing me from my duties as beta, but then I will challenge to which alpha for the duel?'Should I start working on that from now onwards?' I asked Rex, who rolled his eyes.'Don't act like a desperate. Sleep right now. Don't you want to go to the amusement park with Stacey and Scarlett?'"Yeah! I think I should focus my mind on sleeping

Stacey's POV.I felt someone touching my head, and I quickly opened my eyes to look at the person doing this. It was Mom, and she was looking at me with concern."I didn't know that you drink so much.", She said, counting the number of empty bottles which were lying all around me. Wow! I ended up finishing all my father's stock."Mom…I…" I didn't know how to explain this behavior of mine."Let me get you some medicine and a black coffee for your headache.", She said when she saw me lost. But instead of sitting there, I followed her like a lost pup and then sat on the kitchen stool. I sat there holding my head because of the headache and feeling sorry for myself. I knew I had hurt both Scarlett and Derek. Scarlett being a kid, spoke everything to my face giving me the reality check, but Derek didn't. Though I knew that no matter how much he denied it, he felt bad, I was there to spend time with them, not to flirt with someone else.What did I think when I gave my number to Jonas, one

Derek's POV . I guess nothing could go fine in my life, even for a day. I was having a hard time handling the happiness that Stacey shared the same feelings for me that I had for her. It was not a one-sided feeling, but all of a sudden, she fell sick. Though the term 'SICK' was a big question mark on the werewolf community because our immunity was way stronger than humans. After Stacey emptied all the liquid from her system twice, I brought her to the living room on the couch; if she still wouldn't feel good, then I could take her to the pack doctor. "What's wrong, sweetie?" Mom asked before I could when we saw her wrinkling her nose. "Please don't my words, Mrs. Randell, but can you just throw away the egg from the kitchen and plan something else for the breakfast because the smell of egg is making me feel like I would puke again." Was this a kind of smelling disease? Because I clearly remember that she didn't have anything like this problem before. Mom did exactly the same, ju

Stacey’s POV.I tried. I tried not to be sad after hearing those words from his mouth. But at the same time, I knew what was coming next; his mate was not an evil person because of which he would leave her for me. I just wished that he wouldn’t change his behavior toward me after this, or maybe he would. What was I expecting from him? To be with two women at the same time?I was hoping that things would begin to get better between us after our confession, but now it seemed like I was too early to hope something like that.“Sure. Come with me! I will take you to her.”, I responded. Wow! I couldn’t believe it myself; I was ruining my own happiness with my hand.****After an hour!!We reached the city hospital where his mate, Scarlett, was admitted. The Doctor recognized me immediately because I used to visit here at least twice a month to check on her.“It’s good to see you, Mrs. Brown,” Doctor greeted me. Well, I was kind of married to Adams until he rejected me last week after the p

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
The Luna's Pretended Love Interest Chapter 39
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
