Ella's POV Sitting alone in Jayden's room, I wait for him to return from work to tell him about it. I've mentally prepared myself and the earlier the better. I was lost in a whirlwind of thoughts and memories. His room brought back a flood of childhood memories, reminding me of the times we had spent together as carefree kids, before the weight of responsibilities and curses burdened our lives.My gaze wandered around from room to room as I entered a room he kept his childhood things, taking in the familiar objects that held significance in our shared history. The shelves lined with books we had devoured, the posters on the walls capturing our shared interests and dreams, and the well-worn chair where we would spend countless hours talking and laughing. Each item held a story, a fragment of our intertwined lives.I picked up an old photo album from Jayden's desk, carefully flipping through the pages. The faded photographs depicted a younger version of us, capturing moments of joy,
Jayden's POVI watched Ella as she nervously explained how she decided to keep the pregnancy a secret, so that she surprised Aiden. Her voice filled with a mixture of excitement and worry. Anger flared within me, and my wolf, Jo, stirred restlessly. How could she only think of him? Why always want to please him?She wanted to surprise him, to see the joy in his eyes when he learned he was going to be a father. She kept talking but inside, a storm raged within me, a tempest of anger, frustration, and longing."Does he deserve it?" I asked. "Is he even worth it? That you need to surprise him. He left you for more than two months now, and all you think of is how to surprise him? Does he even love?" I snapped, my words laced with a hint of venom. "He doesn't deserve to be surprised."Ella flinched at the intensity of my response, her eyes wide with surprise. I could see the hurt in her gaze, the confusion clouding her thoughts. But right now, I couldn't contain my emotions any longer.
Ella's POVMy eyes flicker open from the glistering rays coming in from the window, I blinked my eyes twice adjusting to the light. Grey curtains. Grey room.My eyes wander through the room, my brain adjusting to the surroundings.This is not my room. My eyes travel and land on a familiar handsome face near me. As memories of last night wash upon me and my cheeks turning red."How did I sleep here?" I whispered aside. Looking at the handsome face in front of me, I traced his chiselled jawline with my fingers smiling sheepishly. My hand went to his pointed nose, and drew lines around his thin pink lips staring at it. I brushed off his snow white hair on his face. Staring at his beauty mark above his brow. Wow. Just how can someone look so good early in the morning without any effort. I must look like a mess right. With all my puffy eyes from all the crying last night.I moved closer and placed a soft kiss on it. Making him growl and I move back quickly hiding my face in the duvet."L
Jayden's POV Standing in the centre of the training ground, my muscles tense and my mind consumed by a whirlwind of emotions. The events of yesterday morning replayed in my thoughts, each moment amplifying the anger that had simmered within me.Swinging my fists through the air, I channelled my frustration into the intensity of my training. Each punch, each kick, carried the weight of my pent-up emotions. The rhythm of my movements matched the rhythm of my racing thoughts.I landed a powerful strike on the training dummy, a surge of fury coursed through me. I don't know why Ella would still keep her pregnancy a surprise for Aiden, and using it as bait. Jo growled within me angrily. The thought burned in my mind, fueling the fire that burned in me."Did she even know how jealous we are to see that child is ours? Besides that she uses us as bait." He roared. "Just. Just to surprise the motherf**cker!""Jo! Language." I yelled at him." I've told you this. I know you are angry but don't

So, I decided to go greet my childhood friends.They two were always ignoring each other, what was wrong between them? After being childhood friends."Hear me out this once Kris, we need to talk. It's important," Caleb pleaded, with an earnest expression, a mixture of apprehension and determination. I overheard them with my wolf ears.She seemed to be preoccupied and uninteresting. She glanced at her watch and replied hastily, "Cale, I'm really busy right now. I have something important to take care of. Maybe later."Caleb looked disappointed, his brows etched across his face. "But Kris, this can't wait. It's been weighing on me for so long, and I thought now would be a good time t

The prospect of joining them on this adventure had consumed my thoughts for weeks, and now I couldn't contain my eagerness any longer."No, I'm just helping your mom tidy the cardboard." He denied. Making me quiet for a second and observing the situation."In a trolley? I asked pouting. " And I always saw you pack the van." I added."Okay, love you got me." He paused looking at me. Trying to come up with an excuse. "We are. But..." "No buts, dad. You promise me you'll go with me this time." I argued, trying my best for him to take me. Batting my eyes at him.
