Romeo POV
The 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
Stella POVI had to do something, his hand was approaching Eulisse's chest, when I found my own voice “Stop, don't do it!” I yelled. Romeo's hand froze inches away from Eulisse's chest. He turned around and looked at me, his eyes were wild with rage and anger.Everything stood still, his eyes locked with mine, and his demeanor softened immediately. It was scary seeing him that mad, but I knew that the only person able to get him back to his senses was me. I was not afraid of him, not even in that state. “What are you doing here?” His eyes roamed my body, walked towards me and tried to wrap his hands around me, but I stopped him. I saw hurt in his eyes, but he needs to understand that what he did is so wrong on so many levels that there is no way he would go free, at least from a good scolding.“Don't touch me,” I mumbled, then continued, “What the hell is wrong with you?” Anger flowed out of my body in trem
Romeo POVHer actions and words earlier devastated me. She knew that, but she kept pushing me away. Now that it was time to be face-to-face, she gave me an ultimatum. Either I accept her completely in my life and make decisions, or she goes away.I worship the ground she stands on. There is no way I would let her go or leave me like that. No, she is my mate, she is mine, and whatever I have done, I am already regretting it tenfold. I was hooked into her eyes, I couldn't stop looking at her, the emotions showing in both of us made me lose my words for a moment, but she brought me back. “So, are you going to say something?” She crossed her arms across her chest, pushing her breasts up, and of course, my mind went to the gutter. It was not the time, nor the moment, especially with a very pissed Stella staring back at me.“I am sorry, honey,” I managed to get that out of me.“What are you sorry for? Lyin
Stella POVLast night I was so tired that I passed out almost immediately after my head hit the pillow. It was an excruciating day. It was as if we were riding an emotional roller coaster over and over again. I was drained, and although I promised a second round of love making, my body protested and closed out without a warning.The last thing I recall is someone knocking on our door. And that was it. I felt Romeo wrap his arms around me, and the comfort of his warmth lulled me more to sleep; the longing, need, want, and lust were long gone. And as long as I was in his embrace, the rest didn't matter. I felt content, and I was complete, as long as we were together.The next day, I woke up rested, after being in the hospital for two days, without my mates´ touch, his closeness was doing weird things to me. I am going to blame it on the pregnancy hormones, because I was ready to jump over his bones, despite him being aslee
