Sorry for the late-ish update my loves. Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Wow, we didn't know Astrid's mother spoke to Rafael right? What do you think is going to happen next? Share your thoughts with me in the comments.
21. Taking HomeThird Person's POV: Rafael regretted speaking to Astrid in that manner. His well-laid plans were disrupted by the people around him and their thoughts, tarnishing his original intentions. He didn't want Astrid to know who bought her yet, which is why he told Bryan to do everything and take her home so she wouldn't be scared of him, but the damage had already been done. He kept his gaze down until they reached home, where he retreated to a corner to scold himself for his rash behavior, he should have been mature enough not to allow anything or anyone to influence his decision. Nevertheless, the harm was done, and Rafael decided to reprimand himself later. For now, he needed to address the situation and make everyone involved regret their actions. He first went to the Alpha's office, where Edward was making out with Charlotte; they didn't even have the decency to close the door. He cleared his throat to get their attention, and he was successful. "Oh... Mr Delmar, ple
22. Ashamed SelfThis Chapter is dedicated to MONA LOVE. Thank you for your support —a deity in human form.Unlike other werewolves or supernatural creatures, her skin was coated in a gorgeous tan. Her eyes were a magnificent dark brown, as huge as a gazelle, and her long lashes decorated her face nicely. Soft brown hair framed her features, and my gaze lingered on her lips, enticing and tempting to have a taste of them.I mentally shook my head, reminding myself not to scare her.She, too, was staring at me with innocent eyes that encompassed my entire universe. I have to stop myself; I need to gain her trust first, and for the rest, I have my life to live with her.She glanced away from me, then grabbed her dress strap and began taking it from her shoulder. I couldn't figure out why she suddenly began stripping down. Why was she doing this when she was clearly uncomfortable?"What are you up to?" I gri

24. Daddy Dearest Rafael's POV "Sir, where to?" Bryan inquired. "It's time that we have a talk with Daddy dearest" I answered. "Are we going to see Elliot Delmar?" he asked. "Bryan, stop asking silly questions and spoiling my mood." I said this while giving him a bored look. "Oh, okay," he said with a Cheshire cat grin. "Did you send Eva to Astrid's help?" I questioned him, almost forgetting that I had urged my sister to go and comfort Astrid. I still need to explain everything to Eva later; otherwise, she won't let me breathe. I already have a feeling she will have all the information from Astrid till I return since she is really good at starting conversations, and I think she and Astrid will get along pretty well and might wind up becoming friends. Yes, I spoke about Astrid to Eva; she, being the most beautiful sister she is, may have already begun her mission. "I can't believe Eva is your sister; she's so beautiful." Bryan commented. I jabbed him in the side with my elbow.

26. sister's bonding This chapter is dedicated to ORIANJUSTIN HOYALS .Thank you for your support Astrid's POV:"Hello, my name is Eva, and you're Astrid, right?" she said as she extended her hand to me.I was still clutching the quilt, unsure what would happen if I let it go. I kept staring at her, unsure whether to accept her hand or not. I didn't want to offend her; if she was close to him, harm might befall me. Eventually, I gripped the quilt with one hand and extended the other."Hey," I said, and she smiled back at me."Oh my god, you are so gorgeous; no surprise, my brother has been smitten with you since the first time he saw you." She hugged me."B-B- Brother?" I frowned."Yes, Rafael is my brother, the real one." I don't know much about vampires other than the fact that they are territorial and aggressive.She appeared to be kind and sweet. If she despised me, she would have started being mean to me by now, and if she intended to harm me, she could have easily done so by no

28. Patience and Understanding This chapter is dedicated to DIVIADIAMOND. Thank you for your support. Rafael's POV: I hurriedly moved away as she opened her eyes. She met my gaze, smiled, and turned away in her sleepy state. I returned to my place, rearranging myself uncomfortably on the couch. I'm willing to go to any extent for that smile, and sleeping on the sofa is nothing compared to the lengths I'm willing to go. I dozed off while glancing at her lovely face. I sat up again when I heard Astrid gasp. Sweating profusely, she moved around in her spot. "No... no," she said, taking a defensive stance. "Leave me alone; I don't want to go anywhere with you guys," she said, shaking. I dashed over to her. "Astrid... Astrid," I said, but she didn't answer. Unsure if I should shake her to wake her up, I hesitated. "Mom, leave me alone; I don't want to get into this." I realized what she was having a nightmare about. "Astr... Astrid, wake up; you are alright." I shook her and tugged

79. Forgiveness and Leaving BehindAstrid's POV:"I didn't do anything; it was them," Cindy remarked, pointing to my stomach as my family entered the room. "Oh," Cindy murmured, pulling her fingers back.I scowled and stared at them. "What exactly are they doing here?" I directed my question toward Rafael."Astrid, we really regret anything we did. We can't even express how horrible we feel." I signaled with my hand for them to come to a halt and asked Rafael again.""'What are they doing here, Rafael, and why aren't you doing anything?' I said." "You shouldn't have allowed them to come in here in the first place," I told him."Come with me, Little Dove." He took my hand and led me into a room next to ours. He shut the door to give us the solitude we required."I know you are mad at me, but you don't know a few things that I do. To be honest, I was the one who determined they didn't deserve to live, but you have to listen to me out, and I'll leave it up to you. We'll do whatever you t
