I walked into the living room with Zelda and Zayn by my side, holding their hands dearly.
Zelda and Zayn liked the atmosphere around. I could tell it on their faces, but I didn't want them to. We sat on the same sofa, and they began to talk to each other, playing with each other's hands and fingers, and deciding which was longer.
They were adorable. I envied them. They were able to go through everything, without worries, while I was being bothered, waiting for Will to be done with his meeting.
Meetings like that always gave me an odd feeling of unease, and even though I didn't know what they were talking about, I felt uncomfortable.
Just then, Tristan walked into the living room, and I rose to my feet.
He made his way towards me, and I signalled to Zayn and Zelda that they could rema

NADIA’S POVI woke up the next day to see the morning rays, shining brightly, but warmly on my skin. The light had pierced into the room, through the glass windows. Usually, this sun could have accompanied a bright feeling, but here I was, feeling down, and gloomy.Things didn’t go as planned. Even if I wanted to stay back here in California, not as a breeder, a second choice to Will. Not to stay in the mansion that held the painful memories I had, starting way before I began to attend the art school.Even when I attended the art school, things went down, only to get worse. I reached my hand to my phone, and scrolled through my photos, absent-mindedly until my eyes fell on Penelope’s photo. She looked so pretty with her smiles, and one could tell she was really glad on this day.“If only you were here with me, this period, I know I wouldn’t feel so alone.” I uttere

NADIA’S POVMy mouth opened to express my shock as I was taken aback. I didn’t expect Will to come out with the truth, just like that. Even if he was going to come out with the truth, was it supposed to be without having a discussion with me?Both of us were meant to sit together, and talk about this, then we’ll put it to them. Now that he had revealed the truth to them, it would seem so much like I didn’t want them to know about it; like I didn’t want them to keep having the fun they were having, with him.Were my children going to hate me for keeping so many things from them? Children wouldn’t understand why things are, the way they are. They could look at it from their own perspective, which was making them live without a father, and having them all to myself.But then, I was taken aback when both Zayn and Zelda opened their arms wide, and embraced me deeply lik

ALPHA WILL’S POVToday was a really nice day, and I never expected it to be that fun, and wonderful with my kids. They were like the best kids one could ever ask from the moon goddess. They had their own way of making the people around them, laugh, smile and feel happiness within themselves.Knowing more about them was like opening an interesting box which had so many exciting things in it. They had made my day a relieving one from all the whole stress I had gone through at work, and every other thing I had involved myself in.Now that they are within my reach, I will do anything within my power to ensure that they get all that they desire, and need.I walked under the shower after noticing It was warm, and then the water began to drizzle down my body, making me feel even more relaxed, fresh and clean. This was just a sweet way to end the wonderful day I had, but there was still dinnertim

NADIA’S POVI sat, staring at the mini sized mirror that was attached to the wall, over my bedside desk, filled with lady-like things. I wouldn’t say life has been sweet, or bitter, ever since I got here, but during the one week which I had spent here, I noticed a few things which transpired between Will and I, each time we set eyes on each other.I couldn’t help but feel, deep inside of me, that Will desired me, but he was keeping his distance, like he was avoiding something that shouldn’t be.Well, if he was really bent on keeping his distance, even when his eyes were full of desire for me, then I guess there was no way in the world that we would ever go back to the way we once were. There’s just no way that could happen.It’s been years since I’ve known Will, and I’ve known him to be an upright and just man, so there was no way he would break the rul

WILL'S POV.I checked the time on my phone. It was sixteen minutes past the time for the start of the meeting. Where in the world was Titan?He was supposed to be there, before everyone got in; before I walked in…Did something urgent come up? No, he would have called.From the looks of the Alphas, who were already seated, I could see they were dissatisfied with Titan's tardiness.They grumbled, and began to shift in their chairs, showing their disagreement with his behavior.“If I may ask, who are we waiting for, Alpha Will?” An Alpha asked, even though they knew perfectly well, who we were waiting for.“Alpha Titan.” I replied, looking towards the door, and hoping he would walk in, but no such thing happened.“Alpha Titan….

Last Updated : 2024-03-12The Substitute Bride: Banished with the Alpha's babies Falling in love?
WILL'S POV.The jealousy I felt was quite baffling to me. It rose in waves like the ocean the more Nadia smiled at Titan.What made me overly jealous was because I could no longer claim her as mine. I could only claim her, as the mother of my kids, not as my mate.Titan, on the other hand, could win her heart and decide to pursue her. There would be nothing I would be able to do about that.With the jealousy still raging in my heart, I walked up to them, and Nadia's smile faded immediately.I hated that fade. It made it seem like I was intruding on the nice time she was having with Titan.“Titan.” I called, and he turned. Nadia took two steps backwards, and gave a little bow. I wished she didn't.I wished Titan thought we were close, and didn't need all that formality.

NADIA’S POVI was still dumbfounded and shocked about what had happened, back in the living room. I couldn’t believe what I had just encountered with Will. Never would I have imagined that he could bring me closer to him, and then envelope my lips with his.The most surprising of all was that he did that in the presence of another Alpha. Wasn’t he worried that anyone else could have seen us, and then the news would spread? Titan was a good friend of his, so I could feel calm that nothing was going to happen.We didn’t need to expect betrayal from him, so I guess that’s why Will was fine with doing that. But then, to me, it felt as if he was trying to mark his territory or sort. That thought gave me butterflies in my stomach as it seemed more like he was claiming as his woman, and that no one was meant to lay their hands on me, or even get close to me.I buried my head in

NADIA'S POV.I could feel the sincerity in his words, as he looked directly into my eyes.Was he one of those people, who could read a person's nature just by seeing them and spending some time with them?Because if I were him, I'd believe my friend had a good reason to ban the woman he loved.I would definitely believe my friend who I had known for a long time, over a lady I had known for hours. We hadn't even known each other for a day.Maybe he was just a good person, who gave others the benefit of the doubt. I smiled, and he returned it. He made me feel less alone in the city.“Thanks for those words. They're comforting.” I admitted, and his smile grew wider, as we continued walking.“So what does it feel like to be back?” Titan asked when we began to walk back

NADIA'S POV.I walked back to the restaurant, smiling and greeting anyone who made eye contact with me. My joy was over the top. I couldn't help but express my happiness.It was a burning cauldron inside of him.When I got back to the restaurant, Titan and Anna were still talking, and laughing. It felt like they'd known each other for some time.I walked into the restaurant, and made my way towards them."Jeez, Alpha Titan was just telling me a funny joke. If you hear it, you'll burst into laughter." Anna said, vibrating with laughter."Okay… what's it?" I asked."Now, listen well. A duck, and a frog…" he began, and I paid attention, but by the time he was done, I burst into a shrill laughter I had fueled myself instead of Titan's joke.Anna had definitely fallen for Tit

NADIA'S POV.The next day, I went to Anna's room, and saw her scrolling through her phone, while she lay on the bed, with her back turned upwards."Hey." I called, with a smile, closing her door, and going to join her on the bed."Hey hey." She replied cheerfully, turning over, so her back was on the bed."What are you so engrossed in?" I asked, snatching her phone, and saw she was staring at the photo of a handsome young man."Woah. He's cool." I said, and she chuckled."Are married women allowed to say that?" She asked, and I laughed."What's wrong with appreciating beauty? You were doing the same thing, too." I shot back, passing her phone back to her, and she grinned."You know… there's actually someone who's as handsome as this. Maybe more." She said, biting the nail on her thumb.
The Substitute Bride: Banished with the Alpha's babies Peace
NADIA’S POVThat night, I felt so good and relieved while I was on the bed with Will. To think that in the last few hours, I felt so depressed, and heartbroken. I didn’t know how I could live with the fact that Nina was going to die, and I wouldn’t see or hear of her anymore.No, it was best for her to be given the chance to atone for her sins, at least. And as her family member, I was the only one who could plead for her or make her freedom from death, happen. Will walked out of the bathroom, and cleaned his hair with his towel.“I hope you’re now satisfied, Nadia?” He asked, with a charming smile.I loved the atmosphere around. It was a light, and happy one. At least, our enemy was gone now, and we had given her a judgement that wouldn’t burden anyone. The only thing I hoped for was that she would learn her lessons, and turn a new leaf.

NADIA’S POV“Nadia, you need to stop brooding about this. It’s been two days now, and you aren’t eating as you ought to. All because of your half-sister who wouldn’t bat an eye if you were the one in that shoe?” Anna complained as she sat before me in the living room.She was right. Nina wouldn’t bat an eye if I were the one whose punishment was death. In fact, she would be happy that I was going to be killed, and therefore be out of this world, and her way of getting who she wanted, which was Will.But then, I wasn’t her. This is me, and I can’t bring myself to accept Will’s judgement. In fact, it was seeming more like Will had done something to ensure my calls wouldn’t get to him. Even Tristan wasn’t answering my calls, and it was certain it was on Will’s order, so I can’t blame him.I couldn’t even get angry
The Substitute Bride: Banished with the Alpha's babies Final
ALPHA WILL’S POVAs soon as we got to Los Angeles, I checked my wristwatch, and noticed I still had time, and I could even get to the hotel before the client I’m meant to see, arrives.I wasn’t meant to come out for anything regarding business because I had a lot going on which I had to settle, but this was really important.It was about a contract which we had once signed, but there was something that needed to be changed in some of the terms and conditions, and my presence and signature was needed before it could be processed.Well, it was also a good distraction to take my mind off the fact that I had ordered the guards to behead Nina. That was the most suitable punishment for her. In fact, if there was any other punishment worse than death, I would give it to her.She had made me feel a bit less of an Alpha because of the way she managed to play me, and made
The Substitute Bride: Banished with the Alpha's babies A yearning hope
NADIA’S POVIt had been two days since Will stayed in his study, thinking of the perfect punishment to give Nina. Although, he allowed me in whenever I wanted to check up on him, but he didn’t come to sleep in the room. He ate, drank and did everything in his study.He had said that it was until he thought of the perfect punishment that he would find himself worthy to sleep by my side, and do things with me. Although, I understood how bad he still felt when he found out that I was framed, and then he turned his back against me when the world did. It was more like he was beating himself up, and several times, I had told him I had forgiven him, and it was fine.Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to be with me.“Will, it’s time you stop beating yourself up on this. Her being in the dungeon is enough punishment for the atrocities she has caused.” I said to him as I looked
The Substitute Bride: Banished with the Alpha's babies Death?
NINA’S POVWho would have ever thought that I would end up in a dungeon, in my life? Worse, a dungeon in a place where I have ruled as a Luna. Where I have been respected, and revered. Much worse, my mom was also with me in this dungeon.I could imagine my father shaking his head in disappointment at us. I didn’t listen to him when he pleaded for me to let go of the grudge I had on Nadia. But then, why did Nadia always have to pose as a threat to whatever I desire, or have?It wasn’t my fault that I tried several times to eliminate her. She had always made me uncomfortable, and I can’t keep on living in discomfort every single time.The dungeon was cold, and I stuck so close to the wall, wrapping my arms around my crouched knees. It was a bit dark, and spooky, making it certain that there could be spiders and some creepy crawlies. The thought that things that I h
The Substitute Bride: Banished with the Alpha's babies Unbelievable
ALPHA WILL’S POVI couldn’t believe my ears. So, all this while, I was being played by Nina, and she had her way at each stage she planned. It was so unbelievable that she could outsmart me, myself. How could all these happen, and I had no suspicion about this?It was so embarrassing as the memory of the time when Nadia was brought out to the meeting hall and was being interrogated, but nothing worked in her favor- came to my mind. Nadia had pleaded for me to believe her; although, she had no proof, but then, I ought to have been lenient.So, I played Nina’s pawn, and made my lover suffer all for nothing, and alone, all by herself. Anger filled me up like when water fills up a bucket to the brim. I got so furious that if it were possible, fire was going to flare out of my head, showing how dangerously angry I was.I slammed my hand on the table as I rose to my feet with a frown on m
The Substitute Bride: Banished with the Alpha's babies Her end
NADIA’S POVSeeing as Nina was back, it was best to strike before she went out again. Judging from the past ways which Nina has worked, it was evident that she was the fast and smart type. Definitely, she was going to start planning something as she got home.So, it’s best for me to be faster and smarter, or I won’t know when all that I have planned would go down the drain, and she would again, win against me. As I woke the next morning, I immediately went to Will’s study as that must have been where he was, currently.If he was in his matrimonial bedroom, it would have been obvious. It’s either I hear him speaking out in anger to Nina, or he would barge out of the room. So, none of that happened for almost half an hour, last night.As I got to his study, I pushed open the door since it was slightly open, and I was met with his curious expression.&l
