Two Months Later...After my failed attempt to make my mate jealous, it back fired. I mean he was jealous yes, but the way I imagined it wasn't how it pan out in the end. After he sent his message about me being his in my head. He stormed off not giving me a second glance. Even Chazz was surprised. "Julian!" I yelled as I wiggled my way out of the handsome stranger grasp. "Julian!" I yelled again.He didn't stop. I was literally jogging behind him to keep up. His long strides were powerful and hard to keep up with. One step for him was normal compared to my two steps to keep up with him. "Julian!" I said again panting coming off my chest heavily.He stop abruptly, allowing me to crash in his back. I groan at the contact and rubbed my nose."Ouch." I groan. He stood tall and mighty with his back turned to me. He was silent. It was deafening. "Julian I'm----""Sorry." He inserted smoothly. "Like every other time too, right?" He inquired as he turned around to face me. I could see the
I was in deep sleep. Sleeping away my pain, my humiliation, my pride and my broken heart. I couldn't believe this. God, I messed up big time. No mate. No love. No nothing. My senses felt numb. My eyes sore due to the heavy flooding of tears I was shedding. "Come to bed Julian." That one line was on constant replay in my mind. Like a scratch record. My brain failed to erase it. It was a just a reminder of how badly I'd fucked up. "Scarlett!" I heard someone calling my name. I didn't pay it any mind. Didn't want to acknowledge it."Scarlett Ross!" The person sounded again."Wake up!" I groaned at this intruder who was breaking me from my slumber of thoughts. I didn't want my best friend to see me like this, vulnerable, pathetic and weak. But what could I do, he's my mate for christ sakes. But it was already too late, Nina had burst through my door fuming, I'd imagined."Oh my God, Scarlett..." She whispered as she came closer to my bed and looked at my current state. She sat down on
***Alpha Caine's PovMy wife and I sat in the canteen of the Watson's Memorial Hospital drinking a hot cup of steaming coffee. She held the coffee mug with both of her hands staring at it impassively."Katerina," I started off. She still stared at her mug in her hands. "Talk to me." I took my hands and grasp hers, giving her a tight squeeze for reassurance that I was here for her."How are you so calm about this, Caine?" She mumbled finally looking into my tired eyes. "I know my daughter. She's a fighter just like her mom." I gave her a small smile. She shakes her head. "I just want my little girl to be okay.""And what makes you think our little girl won't be okay?" I didn't like the fact that my wife was harboring doubts that Scarlett wasn't going to be okay. Is not like she had cancer, and she'll be losing the hair on her head anytime soon. God forbid man, she just fainted. For some strange reason I wasn't worried. Why? I didn't know."I'm just scared, okay!" She affirms. "Baby
We stood in Scarlett's room. She was still sleeping, she seem to have impove because color was returning to her skin.Couple seconds later, Dr. Jackson appeared in the room."Morning everyone." She acknowledges us. We quickly mumble the same greeting back to her."So we've run some tests, and Scarlett is fine and healthy." She informed all of us. Everyone was super relieve to hear the good news, especially my mother. "Oh thank God." My mother breathed as she place her hand over her chest."However, we did come across something else though." There was a deafening silence in the room."What is it doctor?" Dad spoke up for us."Well you see, Nina told us that she fainted as well as her skin tone was pale. Her blood count was low too. She hasn't been properly eating either, and she seem a bit stressed as well."Nobody spoke. We weren't really sure where she was going with this."We found out that Scarlett is pregnant." "Oh my God, doctor." My mother was once again relieved. "This is t

Seven Months Later with baby in tow...*** Scarlett's PovHit.My body convulsed at the wave of pain that woke me in the middle of night. I removed the covers and turn on the lamp that sat on top of the night stand. I look down on my bed where I was sitting, where a liquid substance was covering my legs and the sheets. Hit.I was breathing heavily right now. Sweat bedded my forehead, as it was run down the sides of my face. I scream out so loud that I think Julian could've heard it all the way in England. Ugh! Fucking England! After Julian's proposal on the boat, we decided it would be a good idea to get married before the baby was born. So we did. During our reception, Julian received an emergency call that he was needed immediately to take care of some pack issues in England. Something about rogues attacking the city and killing innocent civilians.Knowing my husband, he was quick to assist Uncle Thorn because he was the only father figure he knew. Which meant he respected him en
*** Julian's Pov I've been up since morn' making the necessary preparations for Scarlett's big surprise. Last night had a big one for me and Scarlett, I confessed that I slept with Elana. If I want this relationship to work, I have to be honest with her. I don't want her to look at me like I disappointment, a liar moreover a possible regret. I don't want her to regret that she's my mate. I have to come clean and hope whatever the outcome is, I will still have her in my life. But before I could do that, I have to ensure that I straighten things out with the members of the Ross's family. I know how family is a big thing for Scarlett so I wanted to ensure everything was good with them.I was currently in the living room of the Ross's household sitting opposite from her parents.."How can we trust that you won't hurt my daughter again Julian?" Mrs. Ross questioned me with a stern expression on her face. Her arms were folded across her chest."You have to trust me that nothing like that
I quickly turn away from his smoldering gaze because I didn't want him to see the truth in my eyes. I squeeze my eyes shut from keeping the tears from falling.He walked over to where I was standing and spin me around to face him. He captured my hands in a tight grip, holding them close to his chest. I looked up at him with my eyes filled with emotion. "Are you sleeping with him, Scarlett?" He asked softly. "What?" I whispered in shock. "You heard me. Now answer the question." He urged.His granite expression meant that he was serious. I snatched my hands out of his steel like grip and crack my hand against his cheek. "How dare you insult me the way you just did. I'm not sleeping with him you bastard, you and I are not in the same category Mr. Cesario. Furthermore, I'm pregnant you insensitive asshole!"I examined my bruised hand, looking at the purple faded scars that were now left there. I turned my back to him as I rubbed my hand to ease the pain."You're pregnant?" I didn't ans
***Julian's Pov It was minutes to eight when Chazz and I pulled up to the Ross's mansion. The parking lot was full with all sorts of expensive looking cars and limousines that were lined up neatly on the asphalt ground. Valets conglomerated outside the Ross's mansion entrance patiently awaiting the arrival of guests and celebrities to attend the gala of the century. I brought my vehicle at a stop at the entrance, where a valet was readily waiting upon our arrival. Chazz and myself, along with two other men, for security purposes, exited the car. I throw the young valet my keys and warned him not to let anything happen to my vehicle, or else he wouldn't like the consequences. The young lad paled at my comment, nodding his head that he understood what I was saying to him. I shake my head at the young man as he was clearly about to collapse under my strict gaze.Chazz came out the car along with the other two men. I went around to the passenger side and the valet went around the drive
***Scarlett's PovIt had been two hours since my mother decided to drag me out of my bed to look at the various dresses down in the living room for tonight's gala. I wasn't impressed with any of the choices that the stylist had picked. Albeit I was two months pregnant and going, I didn't want my baby bump to be showing to the public as yet. I mean, a pregnant Luna without her mate wasn't what I was going for. Believe it or not people love to talk. I just didn't want to be the main topic of their idle gossip tonight."Sweetheart," my mother called me from my thoughts. "You need to pick a dress." I was sitting on the couch in our living room. The stylist had about six different racks of beautiful dresses. Maybe if I'd actually paid attention I could actually pick something nice. But I didn't want to go for nice tonight. I wanted to go for jaw - dropping - I - don't - look - like - I'm - two - months - pregnant look. Or was that too much? Either way, I made my way over to the stainless
*** Friday Evening 6:02pm...I was tired. I'd just finish helping Nina and Pierce work on their choreography for tomorrow's gala in the studio of the pack house. I grab my bottle of water from beside the stero system and gulp it down generously. "Easy tiger." My brother teased.I flipped him my middle finger as I took the last gulp of my water and blech. "Oops, sorry bro." I quickly cover my mouth embarrassed at what I just did."Nasty." He made a face as he glared at me up and down. "Just nasty.""Shut up fool." I playfully slapped his arm and laughing."Okay, we're heading out Scar." Nina gave me a quick hug and peck my cheek. "Thanks again babe." "See you later sis." Pierce ruffled my hair."Asshole." I muttered. "Love you too." He chuckle as he walked out the studio door with Nina in tow.I sat on the chair that was in the room. Ever since last week till now, I've been taking care of myself. I don't worry about anything much right now. Every now and then, I think about him, and
