I felt I would die because of how my vision spun, giving me an impact of nausea as my heart skipped beating, anxiously making my body pause for a moment. However, the thought of the last man I had seen before I lost my consciousness made me hope it was truly King Edward. I couldn’t understand why I hoped he was the one who saved me that night, putting some excitement rose in my chest after I inhaled the scent of alcohol from the hospital as I opened my eyes. Unfortunately, I was alone in the room, gasping to breathe some air as my eyes roamed around every corner, but King Edward wasn’t with me. I might have been hallucinating before I fainted, but I was sure it was him. His intense, sparkling blue eyes and his pinkish lips were recognizable that night. My heart shrank as a pang in my chest struck before I stood up in a hurry, panicking, and felt the excitement rush through my veins as I rushed towards the door. “Ashianna!” Startled as I heard a loud voice coming behind the door, my

I cleared my throat when he looked at me with disbelief. Gunner seemed to be processing what I had told him and felt I was joking at him. The truth: I decided to know the truth because I wanted to know why I came into Alpha Rex’s pack. I remembered what Luna mentioned; they never knew I existed as his daughter because he always brought Ashra whenever he needed to. We were both victims who suffered at the hands of our enemies. I didn’t think Luna was lying because she was sweeter to me than I was. She never judged me as one of the mistresses of King Edward, and she might blame herself for knowing her loving, missing daughter became a concubine. “What makes you change your mind all of a sudden? Ashianna, perhaps you’re forcing yourself to know the truth. Take everything slowly; we don’t like to gamble on the babies safety.” Gunner coldly uttered but I shook my head. “I can’t move forward if I don’t know the truth, Gunner. No, my apologies, Alpha Gunner.” I heard how he laughed at me a

“What do you mean, Alpha?” I asked, especially when he mentioned what he had known was only limited. He was right, what he knew was only his point of view, and not his friend.“I don't know his reason but he's my best friend. I trust him so much that I can't accept the fact he betrayed my trust. All my life, I don't have anyone I could trust but he proved to me he was different. We're closed since we're a child yet he did it to me.” he replied. His eyes sparkled, making me realize how he was controlling to hide the sadness he felt. I was stunned, by seeing how he became emotional. I felt bad for my father because the only man, whom he thought he could trust betrayed him. He might still hurt but he didn't show it. As the Alpha King, he must always act dominantly, like he was a man who didn't feel hurt or pain.“A-Alpha...” I stammered because we both experienced the same occurrence in our lives. “Being away from my daughter is the most traumatic event I have experienced in my life es

“Are they fine?” Gunner sounded worried, so I waved my hand in front of his face and chuckled awkwardly. Seeing how he liked to act with anxiety and how he was uneasy about my babies made my heart clench once again.“I heard it's natural when the babies continue kicking in my stomach. Mom says they are a mixed breed of Lycans and an Alpha; I need to prepare myself to give birth all of a sudden.” I whispered those words. Gunner nodded his head, like he understood my situation. He pursed his lips before he stunned me as he caressed my big belly.I felt grateful that he was always with me. He was the one who helped me whenever I craved something and hushed me whenever I was emotional. He was the man who always stayed by my side, even though I didn't ask him to do it. However, I was scared that he might hope for something in return, and I wasn't prepared to settle down with him.Since I would become a mother, I felt like I was obligated to ensure the safety of my twins first before having

Luna flushed instantly as she figured out how Kairo heard my father complaining. Her eyes flickered and she smacked her forehead in shame, while my father's forehead creased with disbelief.Atticus gasped, he looked in my direction as if he understood why his grandmother overreacted. He plastered a grin on his lips, which made me realise he was about to tease Kairo again.“How did you hear them? Kairo, you're lying. Every room we have here in the pack house is soundproof, which means you can't listen to their conversation. You're making stories again.” Atticus playfully rebutted. Kairo groaned and coldly turned his attention to his twin brother before he waved the book in his hand. I could hardly breathe, concluding they were ready to fight again.“Grandma reacted like I was telling the truth. Atticus, I don't need to prove you because I'm already telling the facts. You're only jealous because you don't have the ability I have.” Kairo said, and Atticus' expression turned sour, like h
