Chapter 102 A sweet soul MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSJovy groaned feeling some light pain in between her thighs and her belly. Adjusting her eyes to her surrounding, Jovy smiled weakly at the sight of Arlo and she beamed more when the person next to Arlo turned out to be Alice.“Alice…”"No…please don't do that." Alice cautioned when Jovy attempted to sit up."How did you know I was here?" Jovy inquired in a coarse voice.Alice smiled as she moved to the side of her bed to pour out water from a pitcher into the empty glass placed next to it. She handed it over to Jovy. Drinking to her satisfaction, Jovy felt a bit better. She had been awake for the past three days but had been slipping in and out of sleep. Arlo had been the one she kept seeing whenever she opened her eyes. Jovy couldn't thank him enough for standing by her despite how hard it might have been."Thank you both so much for being here." She said to them.Arlo grinned as he held her outstretched hand. "Thank you for sta
Chapter 103 I am rich! MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSAlice dropped down from the car with Linda and made their way towards the hospital. Linda had a big black shades on trying to keep herself away from familiar eyes. Deep within her, Alice hoped she is doing Jovy a favor by letting the strange woman know about her location. Calming her palpitating heart down as they got into the hospital premises, she texted Arlo in a hurry to know if he has arrived.Arlo was already with Jovy, handing her a cup of freshly made hot ginger tea to help her belly warm up faster. The moment Alice had called to inform him of her coming. Arlo had left everything he was doing and returned to the hospital. He had slept by her side all through the night but he needed to grab fresh clothes for Jovy."Are you nervous?" He asked Jovy.Jovy looked up at him. “I don't know how I am suppose to feel. But one thing is sure…my thoughts are jumbled at the moment."The door opened letting in Alice and Linda. Recognition d
Chapter 104 Alpha Cruelty MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSResting her butt on the couch in her room, Jovy groaned lightly and she pat her belly. It still feels unreal that her baby was no longer there. She had envisioned how beautiful her life would become with the child's presence. Tears sting the back of her eyes as she tried to sit up. Her heart felt heavy.Jovy had only returned from the hospital about an hour ago and her supposed husband, Logan, hasn't deem it fit to check on her. For the entire week she spent at the hospital, Alice and Arlo had been the only one to stay by her side. Especially Arlo, Jovy couldn't thank him enough for standing by her till the end of her ordeal.A light knock came from behind the door. "Come in." Jovy called out gently.Kyrian walked in with Arlo and a small smile appeared on her lips. "Hey there, Jovy." Kyrian said.Jovy bowed her head lightly. “Good day, Beta.""I am so sorry for not checking up on you all through the time you spent in the hospital.
Chapter 105 Green eyes and a latent wolf GOLD PACKNadia looked on in despair as her brother groaned in severe pain. She would have never thought his sickness would escalate to such extent. Marcel had always been a strong and persistent man but he submitted himself totally to the Moon Fever that has consumed him. It got him more as a result of the situation of things surrounding him. Ever since he got stuck to the sickbed, it had been hard for them to keep the pack moving while the Alpha lays lifeless.Xavier, Alpha Marcel’s adopted son walked in. “Hello, aunt." Xavier greeted Nadia as he went to her and kissed her cheek.Nadia wrapped her arms around his waist. "Hey Xavier, how are you doing?"Xavier rubbed at her back gently. “I am just great, aunt. How is dad doing?"Nadia let out a scoff and rolled er eyes. "What do you think? He keeps groaning all day and it is becoming a bother."Staring at the almost shrinking body of his father, Xavier took a deep breath and he released
Chapter 106 Epitome of strength MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSArlo watched Jovy giggle at her phone screen. Despite going through so much in the expanse of a month, she looked more relaxed and calm now. It had been really hard to bring her out of her shell. The death of her unborn child and having to deal with an uncaring husband must have taken a huge toll on her. However, Jovy proved that she was and would always be an epitome of strength. She had gone back to her cooking class and tried to be more chatty. Thankfully, Amelia and Alice made it a point of duty to reach out to her and indulge in long conversations with her and that had also aided her healing process faster than expected. Not minding the fact that Logan has chosen to not be any part of her life as Jovy seem to have finally come to terms with the reality of her marriage life."Check this out, Arlo." She said to him, pulling him out of his reverie.Arlo blinked rapidly and tried to smile brightly. “Are you sure this casse
Chapter 107 A dying wish GOLD PACKEvery member of the Brown family and Gold pack looked gloomy with their eyes darting sorrowfully. Nadia sniffed and nodded her head gently as Xavier gripped her hand tightly in consolation. It was barely five weeks ago when she had discussed with Marcel, the longest conversation they have had since he fell sick.Nadia knew he might never recover but she just never thought Marcel would die barely months into his sickness. It saddened her heart knowing her brother was no more. Even though they didn't have the best relationship, she loves him dearly.The burial process had been witnessed by half of the members of Gold Pack and those who couldn't come around watched the live broadcast on their mobiles and televisions. Gold pack isn't much of a large pack but the unity and progressiveness attached to it, is all due to the foundation laid by Marcel's forefathers and himself before his early death.The pack members couldn't resist paying their la
Chapter 108 He has a daughter GOLD PACKNadia sighed as she stuffed her clothes into a traveling bag. She hated packing. She would have called unto one of the maids to help with it but it would be too much of a hassle for her to start instructing whoever she calls on what and what not to pack. She huffed.Nadia sat back down in exhaustion, feeling the need to leave the pack house. She had scheduled a lunch meeting outside the pack to meet up with her daughter and grandchildren. It's the only thing she gets to do aside taking care of her brother who is now dead. It tired Nadia out that despite Marcel's death, she is still saddled with running errands on his behalf.Picking up her car keys, giving her scattered bag one last look and she headed out of the room. Nadia hoped that she would return with a different energy that would prompt her to do the needful. She almost bumped into Xavier on her way out."Aunt.” Xavier mumbled as he held her by the arm. "Are you okay? Where are
Chapter 109 The Slip Off MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSKyrian watched as Logan fussed over the documents on his table, mumbling incoherent words to himself. The moment Logan had arrived looking like a sour ball, Kyrian knew the day would only have to be saved by a miracle to not end up being disastrous."What exactly are you searching for?" He asked.Logan hissed out loud as he facepalmed himself. "I forgot the document for the contract deal we are to have with the Arabian company at home."Kyrian stared at his wristwatch instinctively. They have less than an hour to get the meeting started and one thing about these new partners of theirs; they don't take lateness or clumsiness lightly. Logan kept muttering profanities that weren't so colorful to the ears. Kyrian was surprised at how clumsy he had become all of a sudden."What do you intend to do now?" Kyrian asked."I can't have any of us go back home, knowing when they come around they would like to see the both of us on seat. So
Chapter 143 Epilogue NINE MONTHS LATER"She looks so much like you, Logan. This is so unfair!" Jovy whined as she stared at her newborn in the cot. Logan wasn't responding, the sight of his daughter had him so engrossed and he had zoned out completely.Kyrian snickered laughing. “He is smitten by her. You have gotten yourself a competition."Jovy giggled. She couldn't complain cause her miracle was lying cute in the cot. Due to her previous ectopic pregnancy history and the lack of a full wolf, it had been really hard to carry her new pregnancy and despite the suggestion of the doctors to probably abort the child and consider surrogacy later on she had refused. With the continuous support of her family and friends, adequate treatment and following the laid out rules, it had helped her pull through. Jovy gave birth to a healthy four pound baby girl. Keisha was the most beautiful soul she had ever set her eyes on.The door opened letting in Nadia and Anastasia. Nadia looked li
Chapter 142 Sincere apologies GOLD PACKLogan and Kyrian didn't arrive at the Gold Pack until noon the next day. Jovy was almost losing her mind as the day of the meeting drew nearer. It scared her that the Moon Stone and Xavier might never be found. Despite everyone assuring her that Logan would find the Moon Stone her mind was in turmoil. And when a maid came to inform her of their arrival, Jovy almost tripped on the stairs but had been held back by Arlo."Do you intend to kill your child?" He rebuked.Jovy smiled shyly. “No, I’ll be careful.”Logan's eyes shone brightly at the sight of Jovy. Logan almost couldn't hold back but he kept his cool."You found him?" Jovy inquired.Logan nodded, looking towards Kyrian who had Xavier dragged out of the car booth. He looked terrible. "Yes, he was found hiding at the Southside."Everyone gasped. Nadia had a disappointed look on her face. "Xavier! Isn't that the same place Marcel banned you from visiting? Why would you do this
Chapter 141 The Connecting Stone MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSKyrian and Logan had returned to the fortress house to pick up the connecting stone that every guardian assigned to the stone owns just incase something like theft occurs. Over centuries there has never been a cause to use it. However, due to unforeseen circumstances was why the Moon Goddess had provided an intending way out.As soon as Logan opened the sacred room where the connecting stone was kept, he coughed out loud alongside Kyrian. There was just about enough dust in the room. However the tiny stone sat pretty on the expensive shawl looking as neat as ever. Logan ran his hands through it with a small smile on his lips."How do we use this?" Kyrian asked out of curiosity."You see this transparent ball." Logan pointed at the rounded ball next to the stone. "The connecting stone would be placed on it. You would be surprised to find it standing just right. It would lead us to wherever the culprit is.""How does
Chapter 140 Baby Father GOLD PACKJovy couldn't believe the news of her pregnancy, all through the night she cried her eyes out and beat herself up for always getting caught in the middle of a burning furnace. She didn't get a hang of herself until two days after she had heard of her present condition. She would have stayed put in her room if her friends and cousin hadn't shown up to pull her out of her depressive state. Nadia was worried of what she might do to herself which was why she made the call."Why do you always act like it's an offense to make mistakes?" Alice rebuked looking displeased.Anastasia rubbed at her neck with guilt written all over her face. “This is all my fault. I should have told you what it was."Arlo shook his head. “You did right by not telling her. She was smitten by him and would have mentioned it along the line."Amelia heaved a sigh. “Don't think too much about it, Jovy. We can't condemn you cause none of us has ever been in your shoes."Jov
Chapter 139 The Guardian GOLD PACKJovy sat down staring into space and her heart ripped out with each passing second. She was sure the Moon Stone had been kept safely in there and she had been sure to not allow anyone know of the password except her. How then did it go missing?Beta Kyrian and Jovy returned to the living room as it appeared the study seemed suffocating. Harry hissed out loud. He had suspected something fishy was going on the moment his spy had called him. There was no doubt Xavier knows something which was why he didn't care about calling Nadia late in the night and he had ordered her to fly back to the pack by morning.The front door opened letting in Nadia with a flushed face. "What is going on?" She asked, rubbing at a dazed looking Jovy's back."Xavier has eloped with the Moon Stone." Harry blurted out.Jovy's head jolted up. “No, Xavier knows nothing about it. I am very sure. I never told him the password.""Why is his line not going through?" He asked
Chapter 138 It is gone GOLD PACK"Can you stop pacing, Xavier. You are making my head turn." Savannah mumbled, attempting to calm him down.Ever since the early hours of the morning that he had asked her to come around, she was worried someone might notice her since she only sneaks in at night. However, it turns out the Luna and his aunt weren't around. Xavier was fuming so hard, he couldn't still hold back the thought of Jovy playing him. All through the night he had been twisting and turning. He couldn't stop thinking of what to do to liberate himself and ensure the Alpha seat becomes his.Savannah stood up and made an attempt to massage his shoulder. "What's the matter, baby? Why are you so worked up?"He turned to face her. “She is seeing someone, Savannah. And now she has been avoiding me since the engagement.""Oh." Savannah mused as she returned to her sitting position. “I didn't know that was what had you bothered."Xavier scoffed. “Are you really reacting jealousl
Chapter 137 The Sound THREE WEEKS LATERNadia sipped her tea, dipping a cookie in her mouth as she flipped through the magazine in her hand. She had resorted to relaxing by one of the living room couches. Her side eye caught Xavier making his way to the door. He must have been engrossed in his thoughts to not have noticed her."Xavier!" She called out.Xavier cursed under his breath and he let out a low sound that showed that his wolf was grumpy. He was in no mood to have any pretentious conversation. But then, he couldn't be pissed at his aunt.Xavier faked a smile as he turned to her. "Good afternoon, aunt. I didn't see you there."Nadia snorted. She could tell he was in no mood to talk. However, she has been wondering if the complete members of the family still lived in the pack house. Aside her brief discussion with Jovy and Xavier the next day after their engagement, she hasn't seen much of the couples."Come here, let me talk to you for a second." She urged.Making his
Chapter 136 The Mark GOLD PACKJovy hissed to herself as she rolled in bed feeling uncomfortable, her emotions were mixed and she could not tell which exactly was at the forefront. Her insides tingled all the way through the entire night after Logan left. He had taken so much from her and she felt like world’s dumbest fool to let him make a fool of her.At the thought of him the mark on her neck tingled. She would have thought the sex was just one of her wild imagination but the mark reminded her of the awful moment that she wasn't suppose to let happen. Tears trailed down her eyes onto the pillow, her engagement with Xavier was today and her mood was in the ruin. She couldn't imagine looking Xavier in the eye after having sex with her ex-husband and there was no way she can mention his name after swearing her past into secrecy. It was more annoying to think of considering how to much she had enjoyed every bit of it. Jovy felt dirty.The constant ringing of her phone brought
Chapter 135 Alpha Logan’s Charm MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSLogan stared into space, perplexed as to what to do with the sudden change in his life. Jovy had made do with her promise to bring him down and he is practically left with nothing but it still won't shake him. However, staring at the tabloid in front of him that reads on Jovy's engagement to Xavier had him fuming hard. To think she wasn't yet totally free from him and she intends to move on with another man without considering him. He definitely wouldn't let that happen.Logan’s eyes glazed at the bold writing and their picture together of how happy they were. After their engagement, the two of them are to mate to become the Alpha and Luna of the Gold pack. A snort escaped Logan's lips. He still thinks Jovy is only joking and wouldn't dare to play around him like that. The anger he had subsided rose in full force when the slated date for the engagement was the next day.Logan stood up in a hurry and grabbed his car keys
