Romeo POV
He is here, holding a white envelope. I struggled with accepting Stella's decision to invite them, and the fucker decided that he would show up. I was on high alert. Did he come alone? Or was there an army stationed outside the pack borders waiting for his command? I quickly mind-linked Nate to “Please, ask Morgan to check the security perimeter, to find out if this fucker came with others."
”On it Alpha,” was his response.
I pushed Stella to the back, shielding her with my body, but my stubborn Luna decided to play diplomacy with this bastard. She decided to step forward, and my blood boiled. What the hell is she doing?
I mind linked her, “Stella, stay behind me…”. My sassy mate complained,
“Hey… don't yell at me, I want to try something, bear with me.” What the fuck? Why is she trying something? We agreed on a pl
Romeo POVHis last remark threw me away. He had called me brother and, deep down within me, it felt nice. I am too proud to acknowledge that out loud, but it struck a chord I didn't know existed. The reality sank in faster than a lightning bolt. I have a brother.I know I found out about him about a week ago, but seeing him face to face, reading the expression in his eyes, which, by the way, are the same as mine and mom's, then when he approached close to me and called me brother, my reality revolved around the fact that it was as if a dream from my childhood had become true.My childhood was not an easy one, and I usually longed to have a sibling to share my time with. I didn't care if it was a boy or a girl, but, of course, being a hyperactive kid, I longed for a brother to do mischief with. That never happened. Instead, the issues between my parents increased, making me cage my feelings deep down. I was a lonely child
Stella POVI had no idea my father could emit that strong aura. I have always grown to believe that he was a very good Beta wolf from Silvercrown Pack. He is very well known for his effectiveness in combat and strategy. Now I am just confused about what is going on. My mother took my hand and I saw my father take control of the situation in an instant. I have always heard stories about him, but it is hard to believe that the man that before my 18th birthday showed me only softness, care and laughter was this strong person. Stronger to make two Supreme Alphas calm down.After a couple of words with Dad, Romeo walked towards me and mom. “Thanks Nadia… Let's go sweetheart.” he took my hand, and we walked out of the hall. I guess the party is over. As soon as we reached Romeo's car, I let out a sigh of relief. Finally, the day was over, and we managed to turn events around in such a way that, without altering the outcome, we m
Romeo POVThe next day, we woke up at noon. I smiled when I saw my beautiful vixen resting in my arms. I was satisfied that I fulfilled my promise to ravish and worship her until we passed out. I moved slowly, trying to untangle myself from her arms. Her eyes fluttered open, I guess I was not that subtle. “Hey, honey…” She mumbled.I tenderly kissed her forehead. “Morning, sleepy head… Well, Good Afternoon,” she smiled at me and stretched her body, the sheet covering her naked body slipped dangerously close to reveal her breasts. I growled and she giggled.“I guess we need to shower and get back to the pack,” she mumbled and I nodded.“Yes, I told Nate that we would be there in 2 more hours. I requested to see your father.” I stood up, kissing her forehead. After showering and dressing, we headed off to the pack house. As soon as we were i
Romeo POVI saw her bending over and taking her belly in her hands; something was wrong with her. “Romeo…” She yelped, and I quickly moved towards her, taking her in my arms and sitting her on the couch. “What is wrong, sweetheart?” Her tear-streak eyes looked at mine. “I don't know, I am just in so much pain…”Shit, I carried her bridal style and ran towards the pack hospital. I had a bad feeling about this. I quickly entered, and Marcy stood at the front desk and moved before me, “Alpha, follow me.” Being the Alpha and Luna of the pack helped me prioritize Stella over the rest of the patients.We walked towards an empty room, the smell of chlorine and disinfectant evident in the air. The doctor came rushing in, and Marcy quickly took Stella's vitals. She then took a couple of blood samples, and the doctor yelled, “Marcy, I need those done immediately.
Romeo POVI have been stuck at Stella's side since everything went down. According to Carmen and the doctor, the poison was laced with dark magic, making it harder for her body to recover. Fortunately, her Elemental powers protected the pups, and she suffered the most damage. My blood boiled every time I thought about someone trying to hurt my other half.She has been asleep since yesterday, and we hope she will wake up any minute now. My father has called me several times, but knowing that I am still upset about what went wrong with my mother, he has been in touch but keeping his distance. I appreciate it because I can't deal with any more shit for the moment.My mother has stopped by a couple of times to bring food for me, but I don't seem to be able to stomach anything. I want her. I have been restless. The more time passes, the more anxious I get about her recovery. Carmen and the doctor told me it was expected, but I don't care what they consider normal. I want to see her deep gre
Mariel POVI had to witness the whole Luna ceremony. I am livid, I can't believe that after all the hard work I have done, after all the sacrifices, she took my place. I also can't think that Romeo is accepting a lesser woman, and placing her in my spot.My whole plan is based on Eulisses to conquer the Royal Pack. I have spent so much time working on it, and I am almost there. Just a few more things to do and I will be back. In power again. I can't believe that my first child is so avid of love and companionship, that he is willing to do whatever I suggest. He wants his mom with him, and he listens. So it is easy for me to pull the strings in the background and still pass as the perfect mother to everybody else.I learned early on that love leads to betrayal. This time, instead of being crushed by it, I will use it to my advantage. Paige had been a little hiccup in my plan. She came in and got this horny dog's attention
Romeo POVI felt the bond break. Roberta was gone. A loud growl shook the walls of the hospital, and I felt like breaking everything around me. Stella's presence was the only thing keeping me together. She looked at me, her eyes showing adoration, mine showing pain and rage. We were fooled. That bastard tried to fool me and fool her. I would not allow it; he would definitely not go unpunished.“Romeo, please. There must be an explanation for Roberta's words,” Stella's weak voice pulled me out of my angry fit.“I need to run…” I mumbled and walked out of the room. As soon as I exited, I shifted to Max, not caring that my clothes would be ruined in the process.I ran at full speed. The scenery is a big blur in my eyes. “Why did they accept the treaty when he was planning to kill her? Why did he sound truthful when I questioned him, only to be guilty? I can't wrap my head around the information we received, and also, I can't wrap around the fact that something other than a regular seizure
Stella POV- An hour earlier -As soon as Luna Mariel left the room, I was dizzy. “Rose, are you sure Romeo is in a neighboring pack?” I asked her, and she nodded. “Well, Nate told me the same, why babe?. You sound distressed,” I couldn't hold back my tears. Rose hugged me,”Hey, everything is going to be OK. Care to tell me what is going on?” She patted my back. I just mustered to say,“It was her…” I mumbled,“Who was what?” Rose peeled herself from me and locked eyes with me.“Luna Mariel, she was the one to…” A low growl interrupted my sentence.“What are you saying, babe?” Corey said through gritted teeth. He sat next to Rose at the end of the bed.“Well, I sensed her energy to be off, and I opened my ability. And in
