Chapter 48

Larissa's POV

My heart was beating so fast it was all I could hear. Kaden had just announced that I was his mate, and I could hardly believe it. At first I wondered if my mind was just playing tricks on me, but the stunned faces in the crowd said otherwise. I stared at Kaden in disbelief. The last time we spoke about this, I had been convinced that he was ashamed of me. Little did I know that he was planning something this huge. The realisation that he threw this banquet for me brought tears to my eyes.

"Come.." Kaden said, extending his outstretched arm to me. I put my hand in his and let him lead me back to the podium. My heart had begun to do back flips now, seeing all the faces in the crowd. I wondered what was going through their minds. My biggest fear when it came to my relationship with Kaden was beginning to manifest, and I wondered if I was even worthy of standing with him. I was just an omega, after all. What if they didn't accept me?

    Chapter 49Larissa's POVI woke up to the soft sound of Kaden's breaths and his arms wrapped around my waist. Immediately, I sighed in relief. He was here. Kaden and I were laying naked in each other's arms, just like I remembered from last night. The knot in my chest unraveled as I observed my surroundings. This was real, all of it. As though seeking final confirmation, I raised my hand to look at my fingers, and there it was; the diamond engagement ring.The lightness in my chest made me want to jump up and scream for joy, but I did not want to leave the comfort of Kaden's arms. I snuggled closer to him and shut my eyes, sinking deep in the memories of last night; Kaden's apology, his proclamation of me as his mate, his proposal…it was perfect. And to crown it all, he had made love to me thrice in the last eight hours. A blush creeped up my cheeks at the memory, and I felt a familiar tingle in my core. Last night was mind-blowing. That was the accurate word to describe it. I had no

    Chapter 50Kaden's POV"Are you nervous?" Hunter asked as he helped me straighten out my tux. We were standing in front of the mirror and doing some final touches. "A little," I admitted. "But I'd be lying if I said I'm not fucking excited as well." I was getting married to the love of my life and the most amazing woman on earth, why wouldn't I be excited?Hunter laughed and handed me a bottle of perfume. "Alright then, you should finish up. The boys and I will be outside, waiting to escort you to the hall." He gave me a small smile and walked outside. I could not help but chuckle. Although I did not say it often, I loved and appreciated how much support they gave me; Hunter, Jackson and the Gemini. They stood by me, no questions asked, and as long as I was happy, they were too. They were my closest friends, and I couldn't have asked for more on the best day of my life. I turned back to the mirror with a smile. I couldn't wait to see my Issa. To be officially married to her and ope

    Chapter 51Larissa's POVThe world was giving way beneath my feet. I could sense the commotion in the hall, but all I could hear was the beating of my heart. It felt like I was in a trance as I watched the woman from Kaden's past walk through the doors and barge in on our wedding My wedding. "Kaden.." I was trembling. He did not respond, his gaze trained on the woman in disbelief. "This wedding cannot happen!" I heard her yell, storming forward purposefully. Before she could get any closer, Kaden's Beta and some other pack members rushed forward to shield us from her. The hall was becoming rowdy as whispers began to ring all over. Immediately, Gwen was by my side. She clutched my hand and pulled closer to me. "Are you okay? What on earth is going on?"I was too stunned to respond. I was trembling, my eyes not leaving the woman once. I did not understand what was happening. Why was she here? Why now? Was she deliberately trying to ruin our wedding? Again, tears formed in my eyes. S

    Chapter 52Larissa's POVIt had been forty eight hours since the best day of my life was ruined, and I was still clad in my wedding dress. Since the day I had been carried out of the hall a crying mess, I locked my chambers and curled into the bed, sobbing until my throat was dry and hoarse. I cried myself to exhaustion, and by the time I awakened, it was dawn. I wanted to get up and peel the dress of my body, but my limbs would not cooperate. So I lay there, my chest aching as I waited to get the strength. But I never did. I drifted in and out of consciousness as different voices sounded outside my chambers. I heard Gwen, knocking and asking if I was okay. I wanted to get up and open the door, but I was so weak, and I just wanted to be on my own. When I heard Kaden at the door, my heart broke. He had stood there, begging and asking me to open up. But I couldn't bring myself to get up. The tears streamed down my face and stained my pillow, but I did not move an inch. I didn't want t

    Chapter 53Larissa's POVThis was all a dream. This was nothing but a dream. I continued to repeat these words in my head as the image of my ex husband floated in front of me. Yes, that was it. I was hallucinating. It was only natural in a situation like this. I was so stressed out by Amaya's return and the stress of the wedding that my brain had begun to play cruel tricks by manifesting my deepest fears. It was not possible that Stefan was standing in front of me. This was all just in my head. Taking a sharp breath, I turned back to the guard who was by my side with a horrified look on his face. I must have startled him by nearly slipping down the stairs. I shook my head and told him I was fine as I turned to make my way back to my room. Perhaps the entire conversation I'd had with the guard was in my head too. I sighed. I really needed some rest so I could get my head back on straight. This whole thing was beginning to take a toll on me. "Larissa, please don't leave." A familiar v

    Chapter 54Larissa's POV"Letting you go was the biggest mistake I've ever made, and I regret it every single day. I love you, I've always loved you, Larissa. I know it may not seem like it, but I haven't been the same since you left. It's like you took a part of me with you, and I wished and prayed to the Moon Goddess to help me find you."My vision was blurred through my tears, but I watched as Stefan walked forward and got down on one knee. "I love you so much, Larissa. And I'll do anything to make you believe my intentions are true. Anything to make you forgive me and believe that I regret everything." He took my hand and slowly brought his lips to it in a soft kiss. "Come home with me. Tokenmoon misses you. I miss you. Let me love you, and I promise to make up for everything I did. We can be happy again, I know it."His eyes were glazed over when he finished, and the trembling of his lips he tried hard to hide was not lost on me. For a few moments, I said nothing. I just stared

    Chapter 55Stefan's POVThat fucking bastard. I was shaking with fury, my hands clenched into fists as I stood outside this tacky, godforsaken mansion. It was a sore sight to the eyes and the one I had built was every inch more luxurious. For a second I contemplated going back in there and teaching that son of a bitch a lesson. How dare he? He didn't know who the hell he was dealing with. I was Stefan fucking Tokenmoon, and no one in their right mind had ever dared cross me. Who the fuck did he think he was? Manhandling me like I was a nobody? And setting those foolish guards on me like a dog. I would not let him go scot-free. Never. I shut my eyes in anger as I stood, still thinking. I couldn't believe that everything I had done, all the things I had said to Larissa to gain her forgiveness had gone to utter waste! I already hated that I had to stoop as low as begging for her forgiveness. That alone was infuriating enough, and if it wasn't for the sake of my health, I would never be

    Chapter 56Larissa's POV"She's been here every single day this week. I can't keep turning her away, especially since she still has a legal right to visit him."I turned away from Kaden, shutting my eyes tightly in annoyance. Amaya had been a thorn in everyone's side with her relentless visits to the mansion and her demands to see her son. Every day Kaden turned her away, and on days where she proved adamant with the guards, Kaden had to go down there himself and throw her out. It always ended up in a sort of screaming match, and Amaya vowing to return the next day. It had been taking a toll on him, I could see it clearly. It was also taking a toll on me, it was taking a toll on the entire pack, Declan included. Because of her, a sort of gloom had descended over the pack, and everyone moved around, silent and listless. And it hurt me. I hated the screaming, the drama, every single thing. And I hated how it was affecting each and every one of us. Especially Declan. He was still so you

    Chapter 64Kaden's POVThe room was silent as Larissa and I stood hand in hand, watching Amaya sign the divorce papers in the corner of the study. Larissa's hand was placed over mine, caressing softly as we waited. Soon, Amaya flipped through the last page and then stood. She walked in our direction tentatively and then handed me the papers. When she looked up at me, an apologetic look was apparent in her eyes. I took the papers from her and looked through them to make sure. Everything was intact. Larissa smiled gently and rubbed my arm. It had been two weeks since the huge battle. Larissa had stayed by my side every day until the gunshot wound healed. A few days after that, Amaya came to see me. I was so mad that I had the guards send her away. But she kept coming anyway, begging for a chance. Larissa convinced me to see her finally and it turned out that she was here to sign the papers. I had insisted Larissa be here because it was an important moment for the both of us. "I'm sorr

    Chapter 63Kaden's POVI was right. Infiltrating the Tokenmoon hideout was as easy as we anticipated because they had indeed prepared to attack at dawn. The trip took us exactly forty minutes, being a little far from Griffinhowl mansion, but we got there in good time. The whole time I continued to repeat a prayer in my mind, pleading with the moon goddess to keep my son and Larissa safe. I prayed neither of them had been harmed in any way, and I tried to keep my faith strong no matter how helpless I felt. As soon as we arrived, I tossed aside all the doubt and fear in my mind and prepared for battle. This was not the time to lament and worry. It was the time to save my family and defeat that bastard once and for all.I turned to Hunter. "You know the plan. Scope through the building and destroy any weapons you can find so we can cut them off at the knees. Then meet us inside. We only have ten minutes tops before we are detected, so make it count."He gave a stiff bow and moved closer

    Chapter 62Kaden's POVI could not sleep. I was tossing around my bed restlessly, thoughts filling my head. How could I when I had no idea of the whereabouts of my son? My only son. I was going mad with worry, different scenarios of the condition he was in flashing through my head. I hated how powerless I felt in this situation. I had tried to follow his scent, but his kidnapper had taken care of that somehow and made it impossible. My best bet now was to find that bastard's hideout, but that too was proving difficult. I knew Stefan Tokenmoon had done it on purpose. He had intentionally made it difficult for me to find his hideout so that by the time I was close, he would take us by surprise and attack.Bloody coward. I would make sure he died a painful death by my hand. The thought filled me with so much hate and anger that I could not bear the thought of just lying down doing nothing. So I stood from my bed and made my way to the balcony. Everything that had happened in the past w

    Chapter 61Larissa's POVBile filled my mouth as the guards escorted me inside the mansion I had lived in for the worst years of my life. I never thought I would ever return to this place, and even if it crossed my mind once, I wouldn't have believed it'd be under circumstances like this. I tried not to look at the walls I still recognized. They held too many bitter memories. I tried to keep my head blank as I was led inside a room and offered a seat. The guards left as soon as I was seated and I let my eyes dart around. They had probably gone off to inform Stefan of my arrival. Again, my hand drifted to my stomach and a wave of sadness hit me again. I never wanted things to turn out the way they did, but I had to save Declan. Even if it meant sacrificing myself for it. I stopped myself before I could become emotional again. I was here for business and nothing else. I needed to clear my head. As I waited, I wondered where Declan was hidden in this mansion. It would be impossible to

    Chapter 60Larissa's POVThe ringing in my ears intensified as I struggled to open my eyes. I could not remember the last time I ever felt so weak and tired. I groaned painfully as I tried to sit up. My bones were also hurting and I felt like I was burning up. I was having a fever? But why? I tried again to open my eyes to no avail. They were just too heavy. I took a deep breath, noticing that it hurt my chest when I tried to. All I knew was that I was laying in a bed. The room was silent and I couldn't sense the presence of anyone else so I assumed I was alone. My fingers moved over the sheets I was laying on and I turned my head to the side to get a whiff of anything at all that would tell me where I was. As I sniffed the air, I immediately recognized the scent. I was in Kaden's room. I could smell him all over. I had spent enough nights in this room to remember what it felt like.I took another deep breath and I tried to relax, but the thought of Kaden had already set me into an o

    Chapter 59Kaden's POVI frowned. What bad news could they be talking about? "What is it?" I asked, preparing myself mentally for whatever it turned out to be. Again, they exchanged looks. "After a lot of spying and questioning, we finally found the mystery pack that has had it out for Griffinhowl for months now."My breath caught and I stared on in surprise. Why did they look so somber, then? This was good news. So much had been going on that I forgot about that completely. This was great news. I knew the amount of torment we had been receiving from that godforsaken pack, and the fact that we had finally uncovered them was a huge step to defeating them once and for all. "And?" I asked, excited for the first time in a while. My senses were whirring with adrenaline and I wanted to jump right off to the location and destroy the whole lot of them. "Unfortunately, we couldn't find out the exact location of their pack. The pack members are scattered in so many different places. We belie

    Chapter 58Larissa's POVI furiously swiped the tears out of my eyes as I hurried down the hall. My chest was tight and my heart was shattering into a million pieces. How could he do this to me? How could he betray me like this? Betrayal. It sounded so foreign when it was in relation with Kaden. It was not something I could associate him with. But after what I'd just seen, I realised it wasn't so far fetched after all. I ran. I ran like I could escape my reality if I got far enough. I wanted to stop. I wanted to scream. I wanted to fall to my knees and tear at my hair until I didn't feel this much pain anymore. But I couldn't. The image of Kaden and Amaya pressed together in a kiss continued to flash through my head no matter how many times I tried to block it out. Why would he do this to me? In a million years I would never have believed Kaden would willingly hurt me. It still felt like a dream. As I ran aimlessly, I instinctively pinched my own arm. Hard. I needed it to be a mista

    Chapter 57Kaden's POVI stood in the corner of the playroom, my eyes narrowed and alert as I watched Amaya squat beside Declan and pinch his cheeks lightly. It had been four days since I first let her see him, and she had been here every single day since then, but I still had not gotten used to seeing her by his side. Every time she touched him, I had the overwhelming urge to jump across the room and take him away from her. But my legs stayed rooted to the floor. I continued to watch as she tried to make conversation with Declan, offering him the gift box she had brought along with her today. When Declan showed no interest in even touching the box, she took it upon herself to unwrap it. As expected, it was filled with toys. I watched with bated breath as Declan turned his attention back to the box. "You like toys, don't you, Deccy?"I nearly rolled my eyes at her nickname for him. Declan nodded, but made no move to pick any of them up. Instead he moved away and sat in one of his ti
