Greyson’s POVIt was hard to believe anything and the entire situation was extremely messy, but one thing was for sure.Jessy was not lying.Call it a gift or natural instinct, but I just knew when a person was lying or being deceitful and that was why it was easy to believe Freya earlier in the morning and when Emilia had come with her conspiracy I had been able to see through it. There was one thing here though. The picture had left my room and someone had taken it. And I was determined to get to the bottom of it. Zoe’s face was a mask of pure innocence and surprise when Jessy kept her little fingers pointed at her. It was hard to believe the little girl that this person would have come into her room at night to plant something and threaten her alongside but she was adamant that Zoe was the ‘Mean lady.’ “Zoe?” I asked the three years old that currently had my two fingers in a death grip.She nodded her head not taking her eyes off the said woman. “Jessy? What’s the problem?” Zo
“I’m sure she’s alright.” Christie whispered to me for what felt like the the thirtieth time in the last half an hour. But just like the first time that she had said the comforting words to me, they had absolutely no effect on me. I was still a restless mess and the nerves that were bubbling in my stomach, threatened to create a hole within it. I took my bottom lips into my mouth and began worrying it. A bad habit I had when I was extremely nervous and even scared. Jessy had not been away from me for that long, but I couldn’t get myself to concentrate on anything else, except the fact that my baby was not by my side and anything could be happening to her right now. The entire situation that surrounded the missing picture was messy but I knew that something had happened to my baby while I was away the previous night and guilt ate at my stomach. Sighing heavily, I moved from the stool that I was currently perched on and proceeded to move out of the kitchen, ignoring Christie’s ques
Greyson’s POV:I continued to watch as Jessy colored at the other end of my office that was used for meetings and a small smile played at my lips the more her little face scrunched up in concentration. The little girl currently had her tongue sticking out the side of her mouth as she continued to draw.She had refused to leave the office with her mother, claiming that she had to stay with her best friend or the mean lady could come take him away, I didn’t understand the most of her gibberish but from Freya’s replies I was able to garner this much.Freya had been ready to drag her out of the room if that was what would take to get her daughter to leave but when Jessy had turned tears filled eyes with pouting, wobbling lips in my direction, I knew I didn’t stand a chance. I had assured Freya that Jessy would come down once the meeting was done and that she was in safe hands. The way that my personal maid had bit her lips in thought and hesitated before leaving the room had hurt me in
Cuddling with Jessy during bedtime was the only sort of bonding my daughter and I used to have, back at our former pack. I was usually so busy and tired during the day that it wasn’t until night came and we were set to go to bed that I had any sort of contact with my child. Now things were different. Jessy was able to spend enough time with me during the day, we could do more, and we were now definitely bonding over a lot of other things but it did not change the fact that cuddling at bedtime was still our favorite thing to do. And at the moment, I reveled in burying my nose in my child’s hair, breathing in her scent and allowing it to calm me down while I held her tight in my arms. Not having Jessy by my side for the rest of the evening had made me more anxious than I thought I would ever be. And this time it was a different kind of anxious that I felt. I wasn’t worried that the Alpha or his Beta would try to hurt my child. I was worried that my child was getting too close to the
“Freya, I think those vegetables are diced enough now, you don’t need to completely murder them.” Christie said and when I raised my eyes to hers there was an amused glint in her eyes that also made me smile. “I’m just making sure.” I replied. “Of course. Are you okay?”“Yes I am, why?” I asked“You just look a little distracted and you keep blushing at intervals.” At these words, I blushed. Of course, Christie and her observant eyes would catch on to everything that happens around her. “Yeah just like that.” She teased and I laughed.“I don’t know what you’re taking about Christie. I forgot to get some spring onions, I’ll be right back.” I said quickly, rushing towards the kitchen door with the basket in my hands to avoid hearing her response just in case it was a tease again. I could hear her laughter echo even after I exited the kitchen and the sound made me smile. The last couple of days have been so wonderful, I felt like I was on a high. From the night that I had gone to th
Greyson’s POV:‘I wanted to be sure that you were interested in attending the festival before I actually spoke to him about it, but I’m sure there will be no problem.’ I heard what seemed to be the last part of Smith’s conversation with Freya and that stopped me in my tracks and caused me to raise my brows in interest. I moved down the stairs again, wanting to confirm the obvious. The moment that I was further down the stairs, enough to see the occupants in the living area properly, I paused at the sight of Jessy in Smith’s arms eating what looked like a cookie and two very separate emotions rushed through me. Jessy looked cute and adorable as always but it didn’t look like she belonged in my Beta’s arms and the sight of her in it sent my stomach churning. I could also see how closely to each other Smith and Freya were standing and that upset me even more. Somehow it felt like I didn’t have the right to be upset about anything that was going on in front of me but I could feel bot
I walked slowly to the Alpha’s room, hoping to buy myself some more time. I knew that the only reason he was asking to see me was to address what he had witnessed between Smith and myself in the living area and although I wasn’t sure the exact thing that he had to say about it, I was still very wary because of the look that painted his face. The door had been left open and the moment I stepped into the room to find the Alpha standing in the middle of the space with his arms folded, looking as intimidating as ever, my breath seized in my throat and I did my best to avoid eye contact with him. An unsettling tension hung in the air and the silence that surrounded us made me uncomfortable. I could also feel his eyes boring into my head and for a second I was tempted to meet his eyes. “So you’re just going to accept an invitation by anyone to leave the mansion, after I explicitly told you from the very start that under no circumstances are you allowed to leave?” He asked, his tone comm
The warmth around me came with an intoxicating scent and the feeling of comfort that surrounded my mind as I stirred awake was blissful. The Alpha’s large arms were wrapped around my middle and I was press tight against his body. I enjoyed the way that our bodies molded together, fitting almost like the right puzzle pieces. “For someone so small, you’re actually really warm.” The Alpha whispered into my neck, from where his head was buried and I giggled at the tickling feeling.Turning around in his arms, I came face to face with dark hair, intense grey eyes and dark moustache. He also had a small smile playing on his lips and the sight made me smile too. “You fall asleep too quickly, how are we supposed to go multiple rounds if you’re knocked out after the first.” He teased lightly and I blushed to the tip of my toes which in turn made him chuckle.A sound that warmed me.“Well you could try not knocking me out after the first round.” I blurted out and immediately regretted it, bu

Go check out ‘Alpha Arthur’s Hated Mate.’ Add it to your library so you get the updates when they drop and leave me your comme
“Happy birthday daddy. It’s your birthday daddy! Wake up! I made you a drawing.” Jessy’s voice woke both Greyson and Freya with the latter turning around and going right back to sleep. Her due date was really close and the bigger the twins got the more tired she became and so it wasn’t unusual that even with Jessy’s little screaming voice, Freya would still be able to go back to sleep. “Thank you honey. Come here, let’s not wake mommy up okay. Is that for me?” Greyson asked his four years old and she nodded enthusiastically. “It’s so beautiful. Thank you baby.” The Alpha said running his fingers through the drawing of their little family. The image of Freya with a protruding stomach was comical and it made Greyson laugh quietly but he could also note how much his child had improved. Drawing always was something she enjoyed a lot and watching her get better and better with it was amazing. “That one looks nothing like me Jess.” Freya said with a small laugh and Jessy giggled along
The evening air was wonderful and was the perfect thing I needed. I came out earlier to sit in the garden and read a book and although I already lost interest in the book,i still sat outside and held the book open in front of me. I rubbed my stomach gently hoping to ease the pressure on my bladder. I was very comfortable where I was sat and the last thing I wanted was to have to move inside to pee and then come out again. I could feel myself get bigger and heavier by the day and although I loved being pregnant, I hated the fact that my body was changing a lot. Being pregnant with Jessy was very different from my current pregnancy. Maybe because I still had to work till the very day I pushed my child out, or maybe because I knew that the only person I had was myself and I had to constantly stand up for myself and be there for myself. It was a different story altogether now. I had the best life. I had Greyson, Smith, Clara, Christie, Michelle and even Jessy looking out for me now. I
Greyson’s POV: “What just happened?” Freya finally asked with a shaky voice and I raised my head to address my mate. Sighing in relief when the hate that had resided in my heart against her over the last couple of days was nowhere to be found. I beckoned Freya closer to me with a finger, still unable to use my voice due to the dryness that had settled in my throat. I could see the hesitation in her features and it hurt me more than anything in the world that she doubted if I meant it or not. “I’m sorry.” I said to her and I watched as her features softened, she looked at my face, before looking down at the body at her feet. Then going around it to reach me on the bed. Once she was within grasp, I reached forward to pull her into my arms in a hug, melting into it and taking a big sniff of her scent that I had missed very much. “I’m so sorry.” I said again“It was the only way, if I had not done it she would have only taken control of my mind faster.” “I have no idea what you’re
Greyson’s POV:The sigh that escaped from my lips was only proof of how heavenly Estel’s lips felt on mine. It was soft and she tasted very sweet causing me to melt into the kiss even more. If her lips felt this good and tasted this delicious then I badly wanted to know what the rest of her body tasted like, especially down there. I moved my fingers carefully and subtly towards the bottom half of her body, doing my best to not break the kiss. Just before I could reach her thighs, she held out her hand to stop me, breaking the kiss and letting out a chuckle. The sound was beautiful, just like I remembered it, but it had a mocking undertone to it, there was a slight sneer to it but I ignored it. “Honey, I hear your mind even before you do. I know your every move now, so don’t go thinking you can sneak up on me. Relax baby, I’ll take care of you.” Estel whispered to me and the drop of her tone as she said the last sentence made me shudder in delight. My head turned towards hers, eye
11:56pmAlmost midnight and still no signs of Greyson. I had heard him when he had come out of his office and had walked in the direction of the guest room but a very small part of me strongly believed that he would come back tonight. Three days of hopeless belief and he was yet to come back to bed with me. A tear slipped down my eyes and after that single tear came a lot more. I was pregnant and abandoned. Once again. Was my fate really so cruel for this to keep happening to me all the time? How much more could one person take? Why was love never simple? Why was it never enough? I sobbed hard into my pillow, feeling every bit miserable and pathetic. I had thought the auction was the worst thing that could have ever happened to me, the disgusting short man that had place one of the highest bid on me had irritated and annoyed me at the point but now I couldn’t help but wonder if maybe my life would have turned out differently, maybe a little happier with less drama if he had been
“I’m just saying that I think it might be rude if we invite certain Alphas and don’t invite certain. There could be a mini war for that in fact. It is after all the feast of Alphas, so all Alphas should be invited.” Smith said and I blinked at the end of his words. At this point, even screaming wouldn’t be enough to convey my frustrations and anger. I had woken up restless and tired and it felt like as the day went on, the more tired and restless I became.I couldn’t focus on anything. Not my work, or trying to make sense of what had happened the previous night, not even the meeting with Smith seemed to be able to get me to concentrate. “I’ve been trying to convince myself that somehow you’re listening to me but at this point I don’t think I can continue to do that successfully. It’s obvious you’re not listening to me and that your mind is filled with something else.” Smith said with a frustrated sigh in his words. I rubbed my temples, hoping to chase away the throb that had began
Honestly wish I could tell what had disturbed my sleep and woken me up prematurely but in the next five minutes after waking up, I still couldn’t figure it out and when I flipped my eyes open to find the room bright and all the lights still turned on, I squinted in confusion. There was something off this morning. I looked to the bedside clock on the nightstand opposite me and when the blinking red numbers flashed 5:13am, I gasped in surprise. I was never awake this early, but most importantly, Greyson was never awake this early too and from the feeling of the sheets in his side of the bed, I could tell that he had not even slept in bed with me at all the previous night. It was so shocking to me, I felt dazed, confused and pain from my bladder truly reminded me of why I had awoken in the first place. I needed to pee. I moved out of the bed, supporting my big and rounded stomach as I waddle towards the toilet. I let out a sigh of relief as my full bladder slowly emptied but my init
Greyson’s POV:I searched around in the crowd for Simon because I could see how Freya was starting to get unsettled from the absence of the boy. It looked like he was nowhere around and I was just about to move from my seat to properly search for him when a familiar mop of raven hair caught my attention. Emilia. And cuddled up in her arms was Simon. The two didn’t look like they were having any conversation. They just looked to be enjoying each others company. It was such a beautiful sight and I just stared at them for a full minute. The paranoia eased a little from my mind knowing the boy was safe. The last thing I wanted was for the tiniest thing to go wrong, I wanted this to go as easily and as smoothly as possible for all of us. It was the least we deserved.I take a sweep of the crowd once more with my heart pounding heavily in my chest, almost as if it knew that something was about to go wrong. There was nothing out of place. Everyone seemed to be in high, merry spirits and i
