Romeo POV
We woke up as always wrapped around each other. She stirred and looked at me, she took a deep breath and her face changed, she stood up fast and ran towards the bathroom. By the time I arrived there, she was turning her stomach out into the toilet bowl. “Sweetheart, are you alright?” I softly asked.
She looked at me with watery eyes, extending her hand, for me to help her up the floor. She walked past me, opened the faucet, took a big gulp of water from the tap, and brushed her teeth. “Better now…” she sighed,
The whole time, I was tracing soothing circles on her back. “Sweetheart, we need to go and have breakfast… Maybe having something will help your stomach.” I proposed, but as soon as I mentioned food, she ran back to vomit. She finished and looked at me, “No food for me, just ask if someone can bring some chamomile tea…” I nodded and quic
Romeo POVThe whole morning, I was working with Nate and Elliot. Those two are unstoppable machines. The work that got behind the whole Paige Luna failure ceremony and finding Stella as my mate was completed one morning. Nate took care of training schedules, patrol rotations, supervisor appointments, and everything concerning pack security. Elliot managed to get further information on the areas where we found financial discrepancies, and personally reviewed the Omega's living facilities, finding out that they were below average and lived in precarious conditions. That was completely unacceptable.He managed to get in a construction and renovation crew within an hour of making calls and headed toward the areas in need of renovations to get an estimate on the job. Also, he and Nate, decided it would be a good idea
Romeo POVAs soon as I heard her repeat "Yes, honey, you are going to be a daddy" my heart pounded. My body was overwhelmed with emotions.I know the emotions one feels when getting big news like this are usually happiness, joy, and excitement, but in my case, I also felt fear, terror, and anguish.I know Stella must have been confused by my reaction and I honestly believe that I fucked up the blissful moment. I know it is not fair to her. She is becoming a mother. We had been together for a week and a half, it was too soon, but instead of panicking, she was relaxed, she accepted the fact that we would be parents very soon.I, on the other hand, was a mess. My mind was racing when she called my attention. "Honey, is everything OK?" Her soft voice pulled me back to reality. I kissed her forehead and whispered "Yes, sweetheart… Everything is alright."Unfortunately for me, m
Romeo POVI woke up with my mate wrapped around my arms, my hands gently placed over her belly. I was holding the most incredible treasure between my arms. She stirred in her sleep, and gently kissed her head. “Sweetheart, it is time to wake up. We need to go to training, and then I have a couple of meetings…” I whispered, and she nodded, but didn't move, and neither did she open her eyes. I kissed her lips and she smiled, letting out a sigh.She mumbled “I know…”She stood up and walked towards the bathroom only to exit wrapped around a robe and go to the walk-in closet to change into her training outfit. While she changed, I went to the bathroom and got ready. In the end, I wore sports shorts and usually trained shirtless.I took her hand in mine, and together, we walked towards the training field. I looked at her from the corner of my eye, and I couldn't believe how much of an asshole I had been y
Stella POVI was reading the fucking reports that Elliot and Nate did yesterday. Who does this kind of shit? Who has the heart to let our kids without school supplies? Or our orphans without clothing? This is fucked up. I don't want to say it out loud, but where the fuck was Alpha Remus or Luna Mariel?I can't believe that on the outside they seem decent leaders, but digging a little this just speaks loudly of neglect. I am livid, because I have been treated as an Omega for my last 4 years, and I know the struggle and the hard work they do. Most of them sacrifice a lot in order for their kids to have a good education and opportunities in the future. This is unacceptable, especially because the Royal Pack is an example of the rest of the packs. If we treat our elders, kids, and lower ranks poorly… everybody else will follow suit and do the same.“Honey, this is unacceptable, we need to get to the bottom of th
Mariel POVThis is worse than what I could have imagined. How does she know about Eulisses? How much does she know? I need to play it cool because maybe she is just firing away at me to make a mistake.“What are you talking about?” I huffed at her question, she shrugged her shoulders, I was livid about this whole shit, and now she is meddling in my affairs. She is going to end up ruining our plans, and if she keeps going with this, I will have to get rid of her despite Eulisses wanting her for him. While I was thinking about this, she stared at me, like trying to read me.“Like I said, I didn't want to take much of your time,“ She turned around and opened the door, looking my way, she shook her head and walked out, leaving me there, standing up confused and livid.Stella POVI saw her face transform, from the cool and collected woman that I knew to a ragin
Romeo POVMy father lowered his gaze. “Dad? What is going on?” I knew that we were in trouble as soon as my father seemed to have aged 10 years in one minute. He looked embarrassed and ashamed, while my curiosity spiked. I took Stella's hand and walked towards the couch and comfortably sat, waiting for my father to take a seat and start talking.Ashia walked towards the door and looked at the three of us, and announced “I am going to give you some privacy. Call me when you are finished.” I nodded at her and waited for the door to close behind her to look at my father.My father cleared his throat…"OK, son… I will tell you why Ashia believes your mother and my past is chasing you now,” As soon as I heard those words, I braced myself to get a blast from the past.Remus POVAshia put me on the spot, there was no turning back, and I needed
Romeo POVI walked out, I needed a run, my head was all over the place. My mother had to go through so much and endure something else. She had to pretend, to turn a blind eye to most everything. She pretended to be happy for my sake, she pretended that my father was a great Alpha, a loving husband, and a great father, when behind doors it was everything but. I wouldn't dare ask my father if he forced himself on her more times than he acknowledged.Stella's hand tightened on mine, and that made me stop and realize that I was dragging her and that she was trying her best to keep up with me. “I am sorry sweetheart… I think, I need a run, Max and I are super upset…” She stood on her tippy-toes and kissed my cheek.“I will meet you in our room, we still need to talk to Ashia.” She caressed my face and as soon as she removed her hand, I shifted and ran away.I ran as f
Eulisses POVIt's been a couple of days since my mother came back and talked to Paige. Paige and I have been having fun, but we have also been getting everything done for the Luna Ceremony. I was in the throne room when the doors burst open with a loud noise, and then my mother walked in with a furious demeanor.Bart and others were there briefing me on the status of our rogue army when my mother yelled “Leave us!” Everybody looked around in a questioning way and I waved my hand lazily dismissing everyone.“Hello, Mother…” I greeted her with a nonchalant tone. After all that, she rudely interrupted my activities.“She knows… I have no idea how, but she knows…” She gritted her teeth and was informing me about something I was supposed to understand with the little information she was providing.“Who knows what, mother?&
