My son, Teddy.And hell no, I was not letting Nikolai find out about my Teddy!Not yet. I needed to protect my son away from him.Trying to push the strong Nikolai back was not an easy task. He did not want to let me go, nor did I if it was not caused by my handphone ringing continuously. I knew my son. He was not going to stop calling until I answer his call.It had been always the two of us. He grew up feeling the need to protect me even when he was just a little boy. Teddy did not like me travelling without him by my side. My little protective son of mine knew he was special. The strength in him was getting bigger.It was getting difficult to hide the truth of who his father was.If only he knew that his father was not just an ordinary man.

    (Nikolai’s POV).She may have forgotten that I was a Werewolf. I could hear her conversation with a man I heard she mentioned to be Teddy. Such a childish name of a man that I hoped not to be her lover.I would crush that Teddy. No one can have my Ashley. She was mine. Always.I tried to calm myself as my mind was trying to figure out who could this Teddy be.Was I jealous? Maybe, I was. Most likely.What has this Witch done to me?At the mentioned of the name Teddy, I felt strange in my heart. A feeling that I never felt for so long was forming. For the past five years, I thought I could never feel my Wolf Blake again.‘Blake?’ I called to him in my mind hoping that he would finally talk to me. I sensed his presence. I sensed he had finally woken up.“I’m tired” Ashley said to me with her eyes staring at a blank space. I turned to my side and looked at her, wondering why she was looking a little nervous.It was just a while ago that she was yelling at me. This woman could change her

Wearing another one of my gorgeous dress designs, it had accentuated my curves to look elegant and sexy. With a little spell, I put on colours to my face to make me look radiant and beautiful.Was it not good to be a Witch? Well, I guessed it had its benefits as well.Hearing my son’s voice in the morning had lift my spirits to be in such a good mood. My little Teddy wished me luck and hoped to hear from me soon with good news.How lucky I was to have such strong support group!As I got into Gina’s car, I sat down with a smile on my face.“You are looking weirdly happy today?

Her mind was trying to figure out who had sent her the message.It was not from Finley. She had checked with him.Both, Finley and Ashley, knew the risk now about exposing Teddy to the public as Tiana Winters’ son. That secret would need to be kept hidden for longer.They would need to even consider changing Teddy’s name for his safety.Before the meeting ended, they were given tasks to complete for the next level of the competition. Ashley sighed to the fact that she would need more time to complete it and longer time to be apart with her son.

She could not stand another minute breathing the same air with Helen Ross. Watching Helen graced herself like a celebrity was making her s

    (Ashley’s POV).“Why do you want that bracelet, Helen?” I walked towards Helen who was clinging on Philip’s arms like her life depended on it.I wondered why she wanted that bracelet which was supposed to be mine due to my birth right. I wondered why that bracelet was on sale. Did my mother hate me so much that she sold it off to someone?I hope the latter was not the case.“I don’t know. If you are not Ashley, why are you interested in that bracelet? Are you admitting you are Ashley now?” Helen asked and looked at Philip with a smile.Of course, she wanted to look smart in front of Philip. The truth was Helen was never the smart one. She was a slow learner in school and barely graduated with her grades not on the high side.I helped her to study most of the time.But, I wondered how she took everything away from me so easily. Now, who is the dumb one? Fingers seemed to point at me.“When is the auction, Helen? Don’t make me ask again” I said with gritted teeth with an angry tone.Ph

I could not believe Nikolai would do all that for me. A dream wedding it was.The wedding was held at the Palace of Averna, as what my parents wanted. I was introduced back to the society as Princess Ashley. The name Tiana Winters was only used for business, no longer my name.A garden themed wedding with live music sounded simple but turned out magical. Sparkles, so many of them. Teddy had some involvement in making it colourful. His obsession with shining objects and sparkles were an influence to the wedding theme.I loved every inch of it. In fact, my little boy had even helped me to design my white wedding dress in such short notice. Crystal had helped us too. A Princess like dress that matched with my little crown.I was indeed over the moon and at some point of time, I thought I was dr

I sat next to my son, Teddy, as we watched one by one of the contestants presented their design with their models on stage. Not bad looking I would say.In the past, I would have totally slept with those sexy looking models. They were some who would bed me after I shower them with money. No strings attached. Simple.Those days of my one-night stand sex with random women were totally gone. I had turned into a monogamist. My eyes and heart were only for my Ashley, my Luna, my wife.We got married through a Werewolf ceremony almost a month ago and my life had never been better. Having her by my side when I woke up every morning was all I had wished for since the first day I laid eyes on her pretty blue eyes.

    (Ashley’s POV).Fast forward three weeks later, I sat on a table as I looked at the dress that Cindy and I had worked on for days in preparing for the final stage of the most anticipated design competition in Paris. I sighed of relief seeing the masterpiece placed on the life size mannequin.“What do you think, Teddy?” I asked my son who sat on my executive work chair with his legs folded in a seating position. Holding his teddy bear Kiko, he looked up and smiled at me.“More sparkles, Mommy” he smiled showing his cute little teeth. Then, he placed his little chubby hands on his chin as he studied the dress again, “Are you going to wear that? I don’t think Daddy would like it, Mommy”I chuckled and pinched his cheeks, “Mommy will wear whatever she wants and Daddy will have no say in it”“Daddy will burn the dress to the ground if Mommy dares to go out parading that piece of cloth” I looked at the door seeing Nikolai walked in the studio, frowning while looking at the dress. He gave m

    (Nikolai’s POV).“Ashley, please don’t do this. I’m sorry” I kneeled down by her side while placing a hand on one of her hands. I then palmed her cheeks gently as I whispered my words to calm her sadness, “Honey, I’m sorry. I did not mean to say those words. I just could not lose you again and again. I can’t. I would rather die than living in this life without you. Please look at me”She opened her eyes and stared at me. I pecked her lips and pulled her body closer to mine, “I love you, Ashley. Please, this is enough. You need to rest. Loraine is finding a cure for our son. You must not use all the energy you have left in you. Save it for the babies”Loraine had accidentally slipped from her mouth that Ashley would be carrying twins. I was overjoyed with the news. But, after knowing how difficult her pregnancy would be with twins, I did not know how to react.I was not going to lose her. I needed to find a way to save her and our babies.But first, we needed to save my son.“I’m so s

    (Author’s POV).Red. Bodies. Death.It was everywhere around the warehouse, except for two little souls.One was standing in the middle of a puddle of blood, while the other blindfolded and tied to a pole. She heard noises. The kind of noise that was sending shivers down her spine.Not being able to see what was happening was making her anxious, “T-teddy.. w-where are you? What happened?”She whispered with her trembling voice. The sound she heard earlier was frightening to her.There were the sound of Wolves howling in pain. Cracking of bones in a painful and excruciating ways. Cries for help was heard followed by the sound of the doors and windows locked.“T-teddy, are you.. are you still there?” Crystal whispered her words being afraid on what was there around her.She could not see or move much. Despite trying to get free and hurt her hands more, it proved to be useless as the rope was far tighter around her wrist, “Help me. Someone please, help us”It was then Crystal heard the

    (Nikolai’s POV).“Oh, look. Your Wolf is here, Ashley. And he thinks he could save you” I saw this b*th named Helen turned to face me with that stupid smile plastered on her ugly face. I wanted so much to punch her but then she spoke something I did not quite understand the meaning of it, “You can’t stop what I’m doing next. Oh, you can kill me. I have nothing left in this world to live for. But, I will come back. Stronger and I will find you”“What are you?” I growled and was surprise Helen could understand my language. She smiled and suddenly revealed herself on what she was. A Demon.Her eyes turned pitch black, and I could see it hollow. The sound of the cries of pain was heard as I stared into her blacken eyeballs. It was probably those souls she had destroyed to make her stronger.Evil being she was. And I needed to be careful on what she would do next. Not fearing her, just careful.“You sold your soul to evil. Let Ashley go. Or suffer the consequences” I said as I moved close

    (Ashley’s POV).In the fast-moving car, I asked Frankie to turn the car to the left as what was shown on the locator map. “Hurry! Why are you driving so slow!”I took a glance at Frankie who had his eyes only on the road. His hands on the steering wheels were shaking. Was he afraid of me? He did not even look at me after I forced him to drive me to the point shown in the map.“Someone took my son, Frankie. Does Nikolai know about this?” I asked him as we entered what looked like a road going up the hill. “I was asked to come here alone. You can stay in the car. I’ll get there by foot from here”“No, Miss Winters. It is not safe there for you. I’ll watch over you from far. Whoever you are meeting would not notice my presence” he said as he parked the car at the signage stating, “Private property”“This is a dead end. Walking up there would only lead you to a cliff. This does not look good, Miss Winters. We better call Alpha Nikolai” he turned to look at me with a look full of concern.

I smiled and moved to my side thinking he would still be there next to me.But the bed was empty on the other side I sighed and pulled the warm and soft duvet to cover my body completely like being in a protective cocoon.I missed him already. Wished he would come back to me soon as he promised me earlier. Closing my eyes again, I rested my head on the pillow that still have his scent that I came to love.Love. Never thought I would fall in love again with another man, after what Philip did to me five years ago. But, Nikolai was different. Being with him was exciting and he made me feel special.As I drifted back to sleep, there was the sound of knocking on the window. It was disturbing my rest. Definitely annoying and had forced me to get up from my sleep.Nikolai had helped me to rest after our shower together. It was a quick one. It seemed tha

    (Author’s POV).In a room with only a small window allowing the dim light from the moon to shine its brightness, two children were heard sniffling their tears of fear and regret. Their small little hands were tied on their back with a tight rope as they rested their back on the wall. Eyes were blindfolded.. mouth taped.. it was terrifying to both of the little children.“Teddy, w-where are you?” little Crystal whispered as she managed to free her hands from the rope tied around her hand. Her brothers once taught her that skill. She sniffled a tear seeing the cut and graze around her wrist. It had hurt her a little too much.At that time of despair, she recalled her elder brothers told her to be strong. Being the only girl among her siblings of three strong boys, had set certain expectation for her to toughened up like them. Despite her age of eight years old, Crystal was stronger than her peers at the same age.She was also smarter than average kids in her school. And that was what l
