LARAMagnus and I were called to a council meeting, where the elders emphasized the importance of securing a future leader for the three united packs. They strongly advised us to have a baby, an heir who would inherit our legacy and ensure the stability of our community.Magnus and I had always been aware that having children would be a part of our future, but hearing the urgency in the elders' voices made it feel immediate and imperative. We left the meeting with heavy hearts, determined to start trying to have our child.Weeks turned into months, and despite our best efforts, there were no signs of pregnancy. Concerned, we decided to seek the advice of Dr. Smith, the same doctor who had helped us through so many challenges before. Her calm demeanor did little to soothe my growing anxiety as she ran a series of tests.I could not forget the day I received the results from Dr. Smith. As she sat us down in her office, her expression became gloomy. She took my hand in hers, her eyes fill
MAGNUSI stood on the porch of our villa, staring out at the sprawling landscape bathed in the warm glow of the afternoon sun. The weight of my thoughts felt heavier than usual. My mind was a tangled web of emotions, primarily revolving around Alina and the child she was carrying. I had never anticipated that this arrangement would lead to such turmoil within me. The plan was simple: ensure an heir for our pack, without any emotional entanglements. Yet, here I was, conflicted and confused.As the weeks turned into months, I found myself increasingly drawn to Alina. I couldn’t quite pinpoint when it began, but the connection between us had grown. She was strong, resilient, and carried our child with a grace that commanded my admiration. I spent more time with her than I had intended, initially out of duty, but now out of genuine concern and interest.I knew my growing feelings for Alina were a betrayal of Lara, the woman I had vowed to love and protect. Every time I was with Alina, I tr
LARAOver time, my concerns regarding Alina's intentions grew stronger, as I perceived her subtle flirtations with him. While Magnus may not have interpreted it in the same way, I sensed her efforts to seek his care and attention. It seemed like she was taking advantage of the situation of carrying our child. In my thoughts, who wouldn't be drawn to a dominant and alluring Alpha? However, I was determined not to let her come between us. Never!When Magnus had already left for the office with Alex, I saw Alina sitting on a balcony while gently rubbing her tummy."Alina, can I talk to you?" I said, as I saw her sitting on the balcony. Magnus has already left for the office with Alex."Yes, what is it, Luna?" she replied, her voice soft and gentle."I could sense you were getting Magnus' attention, and I don't like it anymore."I thought, there was no reason for me to be hesitant to tell her what I observed."I would like to remind you to set your boundaries. You are simply a surrogate mo
MAGNUS"Are you really sure you want Lara out of your life?" Alex inquired one morning in the office."This is what's best for both me and Lara," I replied with a deep sigh."You've known Lara for a long time, dude, but you just met Alina recently. Why would you believe her over Lara? Do you really think she could do that, when Alina was carrying your child?" Alex shared his thoughts."Perhaps out of jealousy. She might have been envious of my relationship with Alina," I suggested, trying to sound logical. "Plus, she's a vampire. Given her monstrous bloodline, it's possible she's capable of such actions.""You should definitely look into this matter thoroughly, dude." Alex suggested as he exited the office.As time went by, the villa, once a sanctuary, now seemed like a jail, its walls suffocating me with each ticking second. Lara always begging for a chance to explain. But I had made up my mind. She had to leave."Magnus, please, just listen to me," her voice echoed through the cold,
LARAThe full moon hung low in the sky, casting a silver glow over the villa. The celebration of the lunar cycle was in full swing, with laughter and music filling the air. Almost everyone in the banquet hall was enjoying the celebration except me and my family.Tears started to form at the corner of my eyes, and Alpha Callum, my brother, had always been my confidant, understanding the depth of my emotions. The comforting words from Dad and Mom encouraged me to stay strong and fight for my rights."Stay strong, sis. The truth will eventually come out, and Magnus will realize the biggest mistake in believing that woman over you," Alpha Callum reassured me as he rubbed my back."Your brother is right, sweetie, you need to be strong and don't allow that woman to take your place as the Luna of this town," Mom seconded as she pulled me into a hug."I've been eager to confront your husband, but your mom intervened. Losing control and acting inappropriately towards our leader goes against th
MAGNUSWhile enjoying Alina's company, I felt a deep connection to her. However, a part of my heart remained attached to Lara, possibly due to the eternal commitment I had made to her. After the divorce, I considered shifting my focus to building a future with Alina.After some time, I noticed Lara entering the banquet hall with a somber expression. I thought she would be joining her family, but she walked in my direction."Magnus, I need to speak with you," she said, her gaze fixed on me."I don't think there's anything to discuss, Lara," I replied brusquely."Wait a moment, Magnus. Please read this letter from our servant. She was on the verge of death when I reached her. But before she passed, she requested that I retrieve this letter hidden behind her pillow," Lara's voice trembled.The revelation crashed over me like a tidal wave, pulling me under into a sea of regret and resentment after I read Fiona's letter. I had believed Alina’s accusations, and let her words poison my mind
LARAI was shocked when Magnus revealed that he had confronted Savana alone and that he had defeated her. Tears of happiness welled up upon hearing this incredible news. At last, justice had been served for our child and for Fiona, who had both fallen victim to Savana's malevolent plots. The entire town celebrated this triumph, yet I sensed Magnus growing distant from me.The days following Savana's defeat were filled with a mix of relief and lingering tension. The town's celebration was a vibrant display of unity and joy, a testament to our resilience. Banners were hung, feasts were prepared, and laughter echoed through the streets. But amid the festivities, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss with Magnus.He was always by my side, yet he seemed miles away. His smiles were brief, and his laughter was forced. At night, I would catch him staring out the window, lost in thought. I knew he was wrestling with his own demons—the guilt and regret of having doubted me and o
MAGNUSThe dawn broke over the villa, casting a soft light on the garden where Lara and I had shared so many moments of hope and healing. But today, the tranquility was shattered by the weight of betrayal. Gamma Darwin, my most trusted Gamma guard, had betrayed us. I couldn't fathom how it had come to this. My mind reeled with questions and doubts as I gave the order to find him.I had always relied on Darwin, his loyalty and strength were the cornerstones of our pack. The thought of his betrayal gnawed at me, a persistent ache that refused to be ignored. I walked back and forth in my study, feeling uneasy in the familiar space. The thought of dark magic surfaced once more. Could someone have controlled Darwin like Savana did with Alina? Savana was gone, but her influence lingered.Days passed, each one more agonizing than the last. The search for Darwin stretched on, my anxiety growing with each sunrise. I couldn't shake the image of Lara clutching her stomach in pain, the result of t
