Chapter 96 The Delusion MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSThe entire journey back home was quiet, Jovy didn't know what to feel exactly and Arlo was shocked beyond words. He didn't know if he should be happy for Jovy or to cry for her cause pregnancy news for married couples are meant to be good news but hers is quite on the opposite.Jovy didn't wait for Arlo to come open the car door for her after he packed the car in front of the Fortress house before she got down and hurried towards the entrance."Jovy!" Arlo called out to her.Jovy stopped on track without turning to look at him. "I promise Arlo, I am fine. I just want to be alone."Arlo let out a sigh before nodding his head in agreement. He clearly understands how and what she was possibly feeling and thinking. “Sure. But please let me know if you need me." He said. Arlo got back into the car and drove out.When Jovy returned to the safety of her room, she looked through the test result in her hands again. Her hands instinctively r
Chapter 97 A beast and a saint MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSKyrian woke up feeling exhausted after receiving Jovy's call. He had been unable to sleep which prompted him to go for a run in the woods. Despite falling asleep the moment he got back to bed, he still felt like he had been beaten to pulp the night before."Someone looks like he needs to go back to bed." Arlo teased when Kyrian sat by the dining table looking disoriented. He downed the cup of coffee that had been placed in front of him.Kyrian sipped on the second cup before he decided to respond to his silly nephew. "I thought I trained you better. Is that how to greet your ever present uncle a good morning?"Arlo rolled his eyes, pushed back the chair and stood up. He raised both of his hands and he bowed alongside his entire upper body. "All hail your Majesty." He croaked.Kyrian knocked him on the head as he also tried to keep himself from laughing. "Why are you such a silly goose?”Arlo ended up laughing hard at his o
Chapter 98 His terms and conditions MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSJovy inhaled and exhaled as she tried to get up the stairs after stuffing herself with a full plate of food. The hunger got the best of her and it even prevented her from taking it to the room along with her. Ever since she got to know about her pregnant state, Jovy has been excessively hungry and has been eating every thing she lays her hands on.Opening the door to her room, she got there just in time to find her phone ringing out loud. She hurried her way towards it and a bright smile appeared on her face when the caller turned out to be Alice. She picked up the call only for her to breathed heavily into the receiver.‘Alice! What happened? I have been so worried about you?’ She cooed.Alice sighed into the receiver. ‘I'm so sorry, Jovy. I don't know if you would ever forgive me. I had no intention to stay away for so long. We have had the most craziest four weeks of our lives ever.’Jovy sat on the edge of the b
Chapter 99 Severe pains MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSJovy groaned in pain as she tried to stand up from the bed while trying to lift her shoulder. A sharp string of pain struck her shoulder blade and it almost made her fall back into the bed. For a week, she has been experiencing constant shoulder pains but however it practically relieves her in few seconds after the pain effect.Standing up with a cautious hand underneath her belly, Jovy made her way to the bathroom and she hissed at the sight of the light blood in her panties. Considering her pregnant state, there shouldn't be any form of bleeding and at the same time she couldn't be too sure. Also, there was no exact pain and that made her feel like it might be normal.Jovy hasn’t been to the infirmary ever since she found out about her pregnancy few weeks ago. Due to Logan's restriction, she can't leave the house without his permission and he is hardly home. They never get to see each other and it got worse since she fell pregnant
Chapter 100 It is dead MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSArlo jumped out the car after parking it haphazardly in front of the Fortress house. The guards stepped out of his way to let him into the house. When he searched around for Jovy and couldn't find her, he ran up the stairs to her room.He tried to open the door but it got stuck. Carefully, he looked down the door and his heart stopped at the sight of Jovy's pale face on the floor. “Jovy!” He pushed the door carefully to avoid hurting her. "Jovy?" He patted her cheek lightly. He tried to wake her up. "Jovy? Can you hear me?”Jovy parted her lips slightly as she tried to respond on a weak tone. Seeing it would be too much risk to still keep her without getting to the infirmary, Arlo lifted her up in one move and ran to the entrance with Jovy looking lifeless in his hands. Every member of the Fortress house had gathered in the living room at the sound of Arlo’s voice and some standing outside wondering what had gone wrong with the L
Chapter 101 The Irresponsible Alpha MYSTIC SHADOWS FORTRESSFor the second time in a day, Arlo missed the chance of getting a fine ticket for his rough driving. None of the men he had tried calling had picked his call. They seem to be exceptionally busy and it worried Arlo that he might not meet any of them at the office. Passing by Kyrian's office, Arlo made his way straight to Logan's office and when he attempted to barge in the secretary held him back."What is all of this about? Why are you preventing me from entering? Have you forgotten who I am?"The secretary swallowed hard. “Please, sir Arlo, the Alpha personally warned me to not let anyone in unless he gives the order.""Then tell him that I want to see him. It has to do with life and death. What in the world can he be doing that would prevent him from seeing anyone?" Arlo bickered. His eyes searched that of the secretary’s and his anger went on a burning rise. There was no need telling what might be going on behind
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 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
