-Angeline-It took a total of ten mind-shattering orgasms. Before I finally convinced Stefan that we needed to get out of our room to prepare for war. He insisted that he deserved one day off to be with me for all the years he spent alone with his hand not knowing how good it feels to be inside his mate. His mate…It was official now. I watched as Stefan pulled his shirt over his head as he grumbled, “Remind me again why we needed to get out of this room again?” He complains.“You know why,” I replied. He sighs, as he walks towards me.“Okay, I will follow what you say but you have to promise me that we will sleep together tonight,” He said as he wrapped his arms around my waist.“Let me think about it,” I say playfully. “Well, it doesn’t really matter because wherever you sleep I will be there,” he said pulling me closer as he kissed me. “Where are you going and what are you going to do today anyway?” He asked when he pulled away.“Since the secret is out already about who I am,
-Angeline-“You’ve been claimed,” Lina repeated as disbelief was printed on her face. “I don’t understand,” Lina whispered, confusion was eating her up.“There are so many things that happened between Stefan and I. And most of the things that pulled us away from each other were Claire, Clarisse, and their father. Honestly, if you remember the last mission we had when Rebecca came to visit? As you can all remember that was the last time you saw me too.”They all nodded. “That day, an accident happened when I killed one of her bodyguards,” I said, “What accident?” Martha asked and I told them everything that had happened to me. Including the way that Stefan found out who I really was, and how I kind of misled Ethan with my actions. “We didn’t know,” Lina said as she tried to absorb everything that I had said.“I know I should have told you guys the moment that I got my mind back, but there were so many things that were happening that I felt lost. Well, until now.” I stole a glance a
-Angeline- After an hour of training, and more hours playing and teasing. I was ready to call it a day. To my annoyance, my so-called Mate was still here, pretending to be doing something even though we both knew that he was just hanging around because of me. Although there are moments when I caught him teaching a warrior a thing or two. Like correcting their stance or posture. Or just the proper way to do a lethal blow that made his small fandom admire him more. Who would deny an opportunity to learn from the Alpha, whom they swore to protect and vice versa. Seeing that he kept on watching me, my every move, even my facial reactions and making comments about it, dirty comments about it, is enough to make me lose my focus and earning an additional teasing from my team. Still, I can't deny the fact that I enjoyed most of the attention that he gave me. A towel appeared in front of me, surprising me. "I know that this isn't going to be an easy battle," Martha admitted as s
-Angeline-The class was over and the sky was already showing a pinkish orange hue when Stefan and I reached the orphanage. After Stefan parked the truck, he went and around so quick to help me out of the truck. I know that I had been in this place before, but not really to be able to explore how big it had become. As we step in side, I was amazed at how Lia turned this school into something beautiful and safe. I know that Stefan had assisted on the process, as Lia explained to him all the plans I have for this school and it was one of the reasons why I believed in giving Stefan another chance. I remember what Mrs. Smith had told me before I made the final decision. ‘Angeline,’ I looked at the woman in front of me and I couldn’t hide the shock on my face the moment that I saw her.‘My sweet Angeline,’ she said almost as teary eyed as I was. ‘I’m sorry for failing you, for not being able to protect you. I’m so sorry love.’‘It’s not your fault,’ I replied. ‘None of it was your fau
-Angeline-A staring contest between Lia and I began as she tried to process what I just said. "Who the hell are you?" She asked once again, confusion was etched on her face."If I tell you, would you believe me?" She contemplated on my question. Unsure of how she would react to it. Because if I was in the same position as she was, I know I wouldn't trust me either. "Try me," she said arrogantly, trying to hide the feat and uncertainty that she was feeling."Okay," I say, smiling. Knowing very well how she would take what I have to say. "It's me, Angeline.""Seriously?" She scoffed. "You gotta do better than that," she added with a laugh, as she eyes my reaction, checking to see if her reaction hit something in me that would tell her that I was lying.But all she got from me was silence. She studied me once again, that it felt like I was an organism under a microscope. "Who the hell are you?" This week was the third time she asked me that, and the question almost made me laugh."
-Stefan-I gotta leave it to Lia for being the best person to give other people shit. I can still remember all the shit that she gave me when Angeline died. The way she treated me was enough for her to be thrown out of the pack for treason. Her name was brought up several times in pack meetings as Claire, Clarisse, and their stupid ass father repeatedly filed against her using my already broken image as their leverage. But her cases didn’t really push through because I never acknowledged any of the cases file as true using my common excuse which was, ' we have bigger problems than my image that's already tainted and no one really cared about it, even me' to shut the family out. I let Lia curse me, throw me out of the orphange, treat me like the trash that I was because I deserved it that time. Until one day, she changed. I received a report telling me that she heard about her cases and the way I dismissed it from a very realiable source that she had no choice but to trust me wit
-Angeline- I felt the rays of the sun before I saw the brightness of it regretting the instance I was blinded by its light. Whoever opens the curtains in my room has a death wish because whoever that person is will be dead the moment that I get my bearings back together. Until I hear a voice that makes me tremble. "Rise and shine, sweetheart," the voice said, waking up my whole body. My body jerked up in full alert that I had no choice but to sit up. O turned to find his silhouette in the shade of my curtains, but I'm not really sure if he was there as I raised my hand and squinted against the bright light. "Stefan?" I called my voice, I was hoarse and dry. I heard footsteps approaching but still couldn't see who it was. But I can feel his presence. "Drink," Stefan said, his voice softer this time. I followed his order as I hungrily finished the glass of water he handed me. "Can you be so kind as to close my curtain, I think I will melt with all of this sun around me," I sa
-Angeline-I know I have made a lot of mistakes in my life but I never made a drunken mistake. I always set my limits when I go out drinking because I never want to do something that I would regret. Until last night. Spending time with an old friend made me realize a lot of things. One of them is how my friendship survived even after I had betrayed them. I have no intention of doing that but angry and hurt people can do things that are way beyond their imagination. After everything between Stefan and I had cleared, and after the confessions that I had made with my friends, it was as if a heavy burden had been lifted from my shoulders. And I finally felt the feeling that I have longed to feel before. Free… And…Happy…Well, at least last night…“Please tell me I didn’t say that out loud?” I asked Stefan who was still smirking at me. “You want me to tell the truth? Or do you want me to lie?” He asked teasingly. I shook my head in disbelief as I tried to deny the image that came to
-Stefan-As the war erupted, I made sure I didn’t lose sight of Angeline. I watched how she fought on her own, without using our son’s power.The first wave of newborns came and as much as it pains me to see all the lives that had been lost, I know for a fact that killing them would give them the peace that they long for. Angeline continued her trek toward the source of all this bloodshed and none of the newborns dared touch her. It was as if she was wearing an invisible shield all around her. Unfortunately for the newborns, such a shield does not save them from her. She continued to slice everyone who comes to her even those who don’t directly do. She cut the heads of those trying to kill our people and kept as many of them as safe as she could. She was ruthless as she was passionate and I know that when the clock struck 12, I would lose the most important person in my life. ‘Don’t do this,’ once again I begged the love of my life to reconsider the decision she made. Her eyes went
-Angeline-I don’t know what happened or when it started. Or when Elias slipped out of the room as Stefan and I started to bicker about something I felt was already decided.After what seemed to be an hour of non-stop shouting because we thought it would make a difference or that what we were saying could be heard, we both looked at each other as we both slumped on the floor. “I can’t Angeline,” he said as his voice cracked and pain was painted on his face. “I just can’t lose you again.”“You won’t,” I replied but didn’t promise as I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to fulfill it. “You won’t know the outcome,” Stefan cried as he leaned his head back against the wall. “Baby we can’t just let them die,” I pointed out. “As leaders of this pack, we need to make sacrifices to make people safe.” Even if those sacrifices meant that we were destined to be together. “Haven’t we sacrificed enough?” Stefan asked. “This is too much.”“Stefan, this is our only hope, and I am not just doing this f
-Stefan-There was a way out of this mess and yet I don’t want it. Angeline, my son, and I already spoke over the phone regarding it but I couldn’t for the life of me agree with the plan. But what I hated more than the plan was being stuck in this cottage feeling powerless. I hated the fact that I was once again leaving my wife, my Luna, and my Mate in danger. I am the Alpha of this pack and yet I haven’t done anything good to her. The only time that I saved her, or I think I did was also the time that I brought her to face so many hardships and pain alone. Isn’t there a way that I would be the sacrifice instead of her?Goddess, why can’t it be me?A commotion outside of the room pulled me out of my negativity as I stood and opened the door to check on it. “What the hell is—,” I wasn’t able to finish my sentence as I saw the reason for the commotion standing in front of me. “Angeline,” I breathed, as I was taken aback by her beauty. It’s been a while since I saw her face, her or
-Angeline-As my son and I were trying to figure out what had happened, a person appeared before us, and it was the last person I expected to see. “Hello child,” she said in a voice so melodic, that it made me want to fall asleep. “Grandma?” My son asks, taking me by surprise once again. “You know her?” I asked, even though it was pretty obvious. But still, he replied to answer me. “Yeah,” he said, scratching the back of his neck, “She showed up the moment I found out that I was different.” “Does your father know?” I asked, not sure if I could handle another betrayal. But he shook his head no and I found some comfort in the fact that there are things that my son and I only share.“I know you have so many questions but we don’t have enough time,” she said in a hurry. “There is a chance for you to win this war with fewer casualties but there is a sacrifice needed to be made,” she said. “What sacrifice?” I asked and immediately added, “And don’t tell me that I would need to sacrifi
-Ethan-As I reach the border where Sebastian and his surviving people where I can’t help but be afraid. Stefan had warned me about what had happened to Claire and the reason why he was quarantined. “Ethan,” Sebastian said as he looked at me with tired eyes. “Apologies for the precaution that I’m taking,” I replied as we kept the gates closed.“I understand,” Sebastian replied. “What do I need to do to prove my loyalty to you?” He asked. “Tell me what happened,” I asked. “Honestly, I don’t know,” He replied running a hand through his messed-up hair. “We were all minding our business. I was at the back of the clan checking on our people who chose to live alone or far from the city when one of our guards called me about the attack and told me not to go to the city and save as many people as I could.” I nodded. “We didn’t stop running since then,” Sebastian said as he gestured to the people behind him. Ethan looked at Sebastian and he knew that the kid wouldn’t lie to him. He als
-Angeline-I gathered the black warriors, and as usual, we made sure we had warriors that would assist people in the safe place. We decided that Martha, Lina, and I would remain outside, while the rest would manage the people inside the safe place. I look at my son worriedly because as a mother I wanted him to be safe. But instead of doing that, he wanted to stay by my side. ‘Stop worrying, Mom,’ he said through a mind link. ‘Worse case scenario I will be protecting you.’It’s hard to shrug my worries away, but just as what my son and Stefan asked of me, I need to trust them both that we would be okay. With just the two of us, my son turned to face me as he asked, “Does my Aunt have any powers?”“Not that I remember,” I replied. “As far as I remember none of her children also have any powers. How did you know you have powers?”“Dad,” he replied. “He sensed and saw it. And when he realized that I could understand him already, he started making me play with Uncle Elias to learn some
-Angeline-I am nursing a very painful headache as I watch my son act like his age.After hearing his explanation, a part of me still can’t believe that it was true. He had been very patient with me as he watched his own mother get more and more confused about everything that he was trying to explain. “Ethan is here,” Mrs. Smith announced as she entered the room. “I will meet him at Stefan’s office,” I replied. My son turned and looked at me, reminding me of the plan that he and his father had come up with. “You want to come along with me?” I asked almost forgetting that I was supposed to talk to him like he was a child. “I don’t think that he should go,” Mrs. Smith said disapprovingly.I turned to her and said, “I don’t want him far away from me. And if god forbid something happens to Stefan we both know that he would be taking that place. As much as I want to protect him, war is coming and it is best that he learns a thing or two about it, even though all I wanted is for him to
-Angeline-I don’t know what surprised me more. The fact that Stefan was now quarantined because of the possibility that he might become a newborn, or the fact that my son was someone I never knew he was.“Talk,” I said to Stefan, unable to confirm what I felt towards him. I was mixed with anger, confusion, fear, betrayal, and on top of all of those things, I had so many questions. “Before you get angry, Angel please hear me out,” Stefan pleaded and by the sound of his voice I can guess that he was now walking back and forth from where he was. “You have one minute before I decide not to talk to you ever again,” I threatened. “Angel,” he said almost crying out. “50 seconds,” I replied. “I didn’t know that his mind grew faster than his body until he was three years old, which is why I was so overprotective of him. I always knew that our son was special, but I didn’t know that he was more than the word,” Stefan started to explain. “He aside from his matured mind, our son has the ab
-Angeline- “I’m afraid, that there’s a possibility that our time will once again be cut short,” Stefan started to say, “We are being quarantined because there might be a possibility, just a small one, that I might become a newborn.”My body shook as I heard what he just said. “Angel?” I heard Stefan’s panicked voice but I was lost for words. “Baby, breathe,” he said soothingly. “I can’t run to you right now and that frustrates me so much. Please, talk to me.” I could hear him begging but it felt like I was in limbo frozen from where I stood.“Momma?” The voice I loved so much called. “Why are you crying?” He asked. He was getting better with his words. And just like that my head turned and I saw the reason why I was still alive. The reason why I fought so hard. I kneeled in front of him and pulled him to me. How do I tell my son about his father? How do I say to him that once again his family might fall apart?“There you are—,” Mrs. Smith said finding my son but stopped the momen
