The Pains of Guilt (WTAH series book 2) Chapter 29
Third-person POVWhen she woke up, she found herself already shifted and back at the cabin with tons of blankets and clothes on. She also noticed that the fireplace was lit and that she had been sleeping on the couch with her head on Trey’s lap. She knew that he was awake when he began caressing her behind her eyes, but she stayed like that and pretended that she was still sleeping. Mostly because she didn’t want to move and was more than happy to stay that way forever.But she then sneezed, and he stopped.“Well, I guess I’m busted,” She said.When she sat up, he pulled her into a tight embrace.“Goddess, I’m so glad you’re ok.”“What are you talking about?”“Long story short, I woke up to find you had shifted. When I brought you, the time told me that we were out for about an hour. But geez, you should’ve told me that you shift back in your sleep so I wouldn’t have let us sleep outside.”“Thing is, I don’t. It’s only the second time that’s it happened, and the first time was years a

Day 2…Third-person POVThe next morning, he wasn’t there when she woke up. She was a little disappointed but figured that he’d call.Later…“You have a hard head,” Twilight said. “I can still feel the bump from yesterday. No wonder pushing her was hard.”“I’m pretty sure she got it from you.”“Actually, wait here. I forgot to give you something.” She went to get it and came back a few moments later. “Here. It’s a copy of her photo album. You missed out on a year and a half of her life, and this is about as close as you can get to getting that time back.”“Oh, thanks.”“She first started teething when she was a week old. She said her first word when she was six months, and it was “Mammy”. That’s what she used to call me for about a month, and it was also around that time that she became obsessed with minions. Banana was her favourite word. Her first steps came a month after and so did the trouble. Frank was her birthday present.”“Sounds like she grew up fast.”“To be fair, she’s not

Third-person POVTrey’s nose caught the familiar scent of freshly baked sugar cookies, but he figured it was impossible and concluded that he'd finally lost it.“I thought I'd find you here. Stop flooding my phone with messages if I clearly won't answer back.”“Ams...whoa, what happened to your hair? Were you fighting with a curling iron or something? It looks like you lost.”“I don't own a curling iron. Anyway, my hair always gets frizzy whenever the air gets too humid or dry and I didn’t have a hair tie on me to... stop laughing. It's not funny.”“If it's not funny then why am I laughing?”“Because you're a dick.”“Or because it is funny. But you're right, it's not funny.”“Really?”“Yeah. It's hilarious.”“You're the dickiest dick of all time.”“I can’t even take your insult seriously.”She couldn't deny that his one dimpled smile was making it hard for her to stay mad. Until he pinched her arm.“What the fuck was that for?”“Just checking to see if you're real. Glad to know that I

Third-person POV“What exactly is your better idea?” He asked once they got to her pack.“You can have breakfast with Natsumi and me.”“Are you sure?”“If I say it’s fine then it’s fine. And she once said it herself that she doesn’t mind you being around. If it’s my dad you’re worried about, don’t be. He’ll probably chase you around the place but that’s the best-case scenario.”“Don’t you mean worst-case scenario?”“I wish. If you want a little more privacy, there’s a study next to the Throne Room.”She would’ve said her office, but it would’ve made her a little uncomfortable because she still had all the flowers from Alex.“Let’s do that then.”“Ok. Follow me.” She took him upstairs. “Wait in here.”After a few moments, she came back with Natsumi.“Hi, Uncle Twey.”“Hey, kiddo.”“Can you watch her while I get breakfast?” Twilight asked.“Sure.”“Thanks.” She said before leaving.“You like Mama?”“Why?”“Mama said you’we fwiend, so she like you.”“Oh ok. I like her too then.”“Ok.”“D

Later...Twilight POV“Which one of them was it?” Mitsu asked.“You know; you shouldn’t ask questions like that when you know I won’t know who or what you’re talking about.”“Which one of the Alphas in the secret husband? It was a little hard to pinpoint with so many scents in one room and he didn’t give himself away either. But at least it made the list of possibilities much shorter.”“And you think I’ll just fess up?”“Ok, you make a fair point, but will you at least tell me which ones are unmated?”“Not happening.”“I’ll find out one way or another. I have something else to ask.”“Sure.”“Well, tomorrow is Shin’s final verdict. Be honest with me. How do things look for him?”“Logically speaking, I’d say pretty good since he hasn’t done anything wrong as far as I know, and I doubt he’ll mess up after coming so far.”“Oh.” She breathed a sigh of relief. I get that she's worried about him, but I have a feeling that it's more to it than that.“Is there anything else you wanted to ask?”
The Pains of Guilt (WTAH series book 2) Chapter 34
The next day...Twilight POV“Please, he has to stay,” Mitsu begged. “I'm sorry I didn't say this earlier but...”What she said had me rushing to the Grand Hall. Good thing the pack wasn't here yet.“We can't make him leave no matter what.”“And why is that?” One of the pack elders asked.“Because she's pregnant.”To say that Takeshi saw red would be an understatement I even had to use Alpha command to stop him from murdering Shin, but he got a couple of hits in. As for Shin, he probably didn't even know what was going on around him because it looked like he was still processing what I just said.“So now that a pup is on the way, he has to stay? Don't you think you're being hypocritical?” Another one asked.“No, because this is an entirely different situation. She wants him here.”“You let a Rogue into your pack and expected us to welcome him with open arms. Previously, we had warned you about having a human mate, but you refused to see reason and look where that got you. So why shoul

A few days later…Third-person POV"Alpha, there's a situation at the border," Sosuke mind-linked."Another Rogue?""No. A wolf named Kai is here and said he needs to see you. He's also badly injured.""Let him through and take him to the hospital. I'll meet him there."“Alright.”Afterwards, she left Natsumi with her dad and got to the hospital as fast as possible. When she got there, Kai was in a worse state than she had imagined. The doctors told her that he had passed out and seemed to have alarming amounts of wolfsbane in his bloodstream. They also weren’t sure when or even if he’d wake, but they assured her they’d do everything they could to get him into a stable condition.She spent some time pacing around the hallway and tried a few times to call Trey’s office, but no one picked up. She contemplated going over there but thought it’d be better to know what was going on before going, and Kai was her only source of information.After a while, one of the doctors came out.“How is

The next day…Third-person POVTwilight got geared up and then took Natsumi to her room for her nap.“Tsumi, mama is going away for a little while.” She said while tucking her in.“You come back, wight?”“Yes. I promise,” She kissed her forehead.“Ok.”“I love you.”“Love you too, Mama,” She said while dozing off.“Ready to go?” Her dad asked.“About that, I have a favour to ask. I want you to stay.”“That’s out of the question. Takeshi and the previous council members were already asked to stay with their grandpups.”“Kaido doesn’t have any and he’s coming. I know I’m asking for a lot, but…”“I’m not going to stand by knowing that you’re throwing yourself to the wolves. The pun was unintended.”“I know, but Daichi still has some soldiers left in his pack. I’m not sure what plans he has for them and I’d rather Natsumi be with you in case anything happens while I’m gone.”“I understand that, but just as how she’s your only pup and you want to protect her at all costs, the same goes for

The Pains of Guilt (WTAH series book 2) Hidden Facts in Book 2
1. Book 2 was never planned. It’s literally based on me putting two brain cells together to come up with ideas cuz the first book exhausted the rest of my brain cells, and I obviously didn’t expect to be writing a book 3. I was going to write one, but now it’ll be book 4 (we’ll get to that another time). 2. Natsumi’s name was originally Hakumei because it translates to twilight. Then I changed it to Koharu (which means little sun) because of her blonde hair, but I decided to make it Natsumi because...I just liked it better ok. 3. Back to the second point, Natsumi was originally blonde like Takumi, but I changed her colour to black to make the genetics thing a little more realistic. 4. In the beginning, Twilight and Trey were already supposed to be together (as in during those three years, she and Trey made up), but I don’t know why I didn’t add it in. 5. Twilight wasn’t supposed to have two wolves, but I thought it would be cool, so I added that. 6. Twilight and Trey were suppose
The Pains of Guilt (WTAH series book 2) Book 3
This is where the second book ends (yay). I’m ending it here because I felt that the storyline was starting to get too long for one book. This means that there’ll be a third book, but (drumroll) it’ll be part 2 of this one. But I’m calling it Mates and Temptations because The Pains of Guilt Part 2 didn’t sound catchy. And as a special little something, I added a bonus chapter after this one and a little blurb about the third book. I don’t have an exact date for when I’ll release book 3 because when it comes to my writing, I hate deadlines (they make me rush things and it affects the quality of my writing). The only reason I had one for this book is that I already had a lot of chapters ready for release long before I finished the first book. Anyway, book 2 will be available for purchase from retailers around mid-January or the first week of February (there's a ton of editing I need to do while also working on book 3). Blurb: Twilight and Trey have finally reconciled and accepted each
The Pains of Guilt (WTAH series book 2) Epilogue
Twilight POV Crap. Busted. Wait, no, I haven't done anything yet, so I'm not busted. In fact, why am I acting guilty of doing something I didn't do when I should be pissed right now? “How many?” I asked. “Can you ask a normal question, so I know what you're talking about?” I showed him the wallpaper. “Oh. That.” Is he serious? “That's all you have to say?” I asked. “I was supposed to say more?” “Ok. Well, this is unbelievable.” “It's not as if I can deny it, and besides, it’s just a picture.” “Just a picture? Actually, I'm more surprised by the fact that you're even calling it a picture.” “C'mon, it's not that bad.” Not that bad? He's practically asking me to throttle him right here and now. “Besides, it's my favourite one,” He continued. “Favourite one? You mean there's more?” I'm having a flashback of all the not-so-graceful moments I've had while he was around. And they're a lot. “Yeah.” “Tell me you're joking.” “I'm not.” “I'm never getting comfortable around y

Third-person POVThe next day, Natsumi came into Twilight's room and jumped on her causing her to wake up.“Happy biwthday, Mama.”“Thank you, honey, but you don't have to wake up me like that.”“But excited.”“Sigh. I can't stay mad at that face.”“C'mon, Mama.” She dragged her out of bed. “See pwesent.”“Ok ok. I'm coming.”She was taken to her dad's room.“So, she actually woke you up. I tried to stop her, but she was already gone.”“Pop-pop, give Mama pwesent.”“Alright.”He gave her a gift bag. Inside was a simple, white summer dress with spaghetti straps and black butterflies at the hem.“You likes it, Mama?”“Of course, I do.”“I's best pwesentew.”She didn't want to burst Natsumi's bubble

A few weeks later…Third-person POV“Happy biwthday, Papa.”“Thank you, Nugget. But how did you know it was today?”“I told her, and happy birthday.”“Oh. Thanks.”“Got you pwesent, Papa.” She gave him a gift bag and inside was a watch. “Likes it?”“Yes, I do. So, I'm having dinner with my parents later and they asked me to ask you to come over. If you want to.”“Ok but will...”“Yeah, she'll be there.”“Then I'll have to bring Trey with me. I'm not trying to get even; he'll just be there to stop me from doing something I won’t regret.”“It's alright.”Later that night...“Are you sure you want to eat that much?” Matako asked. “Or are you aiming to pack more pounds than you already have?”

The next day...Third-person POV“What time is it?” She asked.“08:05”“Oh shit.”“What?”“I was supposed to pick up her dress over half an hour ago and bring it to her five minutes ago. And the wedding is at 9...”In her hurry, she tried to get out of bed, but almost ended up falling off and landing on her face before he caught her.“Not that I'm not taking you seriously, but I think you should slow down a little before you break a bone or two.”“My best friend's been waiting 25 years for this day, and I'm not about to screw it up for her. If I have to break a bone or two, then so be it.”“Alright, but don't attack me. I was just saying.”Half an hour later...She was about to exit the shop when she got an incoming call from Mitsuri. Deciding that she'd rather deal with

Twilight POVIt’s been almost two weeks since I last spoke to him. Everything is supposed to be fine now, or at least I thought it’d be. This whole thing is bothering me, and it’s not supposed to.I want to call him, but call him and say what? I could start by apologising for bringing up the two-mates thing out of nowhere. Then what? We go back to how things were in the beginning? Honestly, that’s how things should’ve stayed, and maybe, I wouldn’t be so conflicted.Trey POVShould I call her? I’ve been staring at my phone, with her contact on the screen, for who knows how long. I don’t even know if she wants to talk to me.“How long are you going to keep staring at her number?”Daisuke was sitting in front of me.“When did you get here?” I asked.“A while ago. You were so lost that you didn’t even

The next day…Third-person POV“Ams?” Trey came into her office.She got up and ran into his arms.“I thought you’d have at least wanted me to shower first,” He said.“You do stink, but I’m already used to it. What are you doing here though? You still have two weeks left.”“I was let out for good behaviour. That or they got tired of the noise I was making every time I beat the daylights out of Daichi.”“The latter sounds more believable. Are you going back to your pack now?”“What if I said later?”“I wouldn’t mind you staying a little longer. Come on,” She took him to her room.“You can use my shower and take a nap or sleep in here afterwards. I got a few things yesterday in case you wanted to stay here, but I forgot to get men’s shower gel. The closest thing I have is a lemon-scented one.”“That’s fine as long as I get to shower. I wouldn’t want my pack to see me in such a pathetic state.”“I’ll leave you to it then. Oh, and a few of your clothes are still in my closet,” She said be
The Pains of Guilt (WTAH series book 2) Chapter 39
The next night…Third-person POV“May I ask you something?” Trey asked.“You already are but sure.”“I’m curious to know what you do that makes you so tired most of the time. I get that you have a pack and pup to care of, but it doesn’t always add up.”“I have a job, but I do work from home most of the time. Other than that, I do other small things, like helping out in the kitchen whenever we have a pack dinner and the farms on Mondays and Wednesdays. I mostly got into all that after Natsumi’s dad and I split up to keep myself busy. I thought I’d stop after a while, but I guess enjoy it more than I thought I would.”“Would it make any difference if I suggested that you slow down?”“No. Your words would just go in one ear and out the other.”“I thought so,” He sighed."Anyway, you never told me about what you do for work. I remember you mentioning something about pups that one time."“I'm a certified child psychologist. I like working with them, and they feel the same.”“Ah, that's why
