CARLY WOODS POV My ears failed to pick up on the whooshing sound of wind whistling and blowing outside, the sound of leaves flapping violently over each other on trees, and the sound of wolves howling in from a distance in the thick darkness of the night.I sat motionless on the cold floor, my butt no longer responding to the biting pain for sitting on the rug all day.The room was dead in silence but I was haunted by the thoughts of what my son was likely going through in the hands of the vile beings.My heart was no longer racing because it had been shattered beyond repair and I hated the fact that I was too weak to defend my child from danger just as I was too weak to defend my family from the attack.They took my family, now they've taken my child. How long was I supposed to suffer before the Moon goddess decides to put an end to my long and never-ending list of misery?My bound hands clutched tightly against my chest in a freak attempt to make the pain go away. I hunched over, m
CARLY WOODS POV ...we can't until the last Gaia blood is spilled...The last Gaia blood is spilled...Last Gaia blood.Thankfully I was looking down so neither Darren nor any of his men could see the way my face lit up when I realized what that little hiccup was.If what I'm thinking is this hiccup then, it is more than a slight hiccup.I laughed mentally but scoffed at him in the open. "I will kill you before you lay a finger on my son," I growled at him but he just swatted his hand in the air as if swatting an annoying little pest."Ah, I'd love to see the kitten bite?" He chuckled, his men laughing alongside while I shook my shoulders against their restraining hands."I had everything planned out to get to that bastard mate of yours but imagine my surprise when I was told he was expecting a child from an Omega. An Omega?""A human omega." Liam butted in and I kicked my foot at him even though he was standing about ten feet away from where I was."A human omega. Then I found myself
CARLY WOODS POV A week had gone by since I was delivered of my little bundle of joy, and since then, Darren has been behaving a little strangely.His friend Liam has been dropping by a little more frequently and the attack on packs has even increased.I was worried about members of those packs because no matter how much I pleaded for him to stop he wouldn't.Allison has been of great help to me, and I also noticed how people kept sending me strange glances when I passed by the hallways. I brought this up to Alli one time and she told me it was just in my headI knew something was wrong somewhere but I couldn't put a finger on anything.Kyle was always up and doing, playing the big brother role. He comes to see Hunter during the day when the other kids go to school then he will drop by again in the evening to make sure I was doing just fine.The more the days went by, the more anxious I got because even though I was so far away from Brookside pack, I was still worried about them, the
CARLY WOODS POV My heart warmed when I was given a special treatment in the medical center. It wasn't a full blown hospital but it was enough to cater for the medical needs of the community.The moment we got there, Darren had rushed out, opened the door and picked me up from the backseat, Allison was sitting beside me, holding my hands while Kyle sat quietly in front of the car with Darren who would send worried glances at me every other minute and asking how I was doing.Outside the medical center stood Liam who had a blank look on his face and if I was not already busy groaning in pain, I would have had enough time to worry about him recognizing my scent from the stream.I was probably worried about nothing because, the man has traveled to different places and he has had the privilege to smell different scents, flavors and fragrance that I doubt he'd be able to remember mine from the one time I picked on my scent from the stream.A doctor was waiting outside with Liam with a nurse
CARLY WOODS POV "Are you sure you're alright?" Darren asked during breakfast and I nodded even though I was feeling anything but fine.I woke up this morning to sharp pains on my lower abdomen after every twenty minutes.Maybe it was nothing so I didn't want to bother him."You don't look too good Munchkin. tell me, what is wrong, how can I be of help?" The worry lines on his forehead deepened when I clutched the napkin in a deadly grip, the spoon I was holding fell off my hand and I squeezed my eyes shut."I'm fine." I muttered in a low whisper. My breathing was coming out in short pants while I glanced around the place trying to distract myself."This is not the face or breathing pattern of someone that is fine." I opened my eyes to meet his dark grey ones that held concern and support as he urged me to tell him what the problem was."I'm feeling some pains down here, it's nothing I can't handle, trust me. I've been through worse." I smiled painfully, and just like that, the pains
JACE BALDWIN'S POV It was embarrassing that I had to step in to separate a cat fight that my third in command orchestrated.Short video clips from when Ophelia attacked Addison were already flooding social media with so many views and reposts. I didn't bother going through the comments session because I knew how bad it would be. One way or the other, I was going to get dragged into it. After the caption on most of the videos pointed ghost fingers at me.After I commanded Ophelia to quieten down, I ordered everyone back to their homes except a few whom I ordered on what to do. The medics got in on time and took the two unconscious women away while the law enforcement authority took Ophelia in for questioning after I was done questioning her.I know she was wronged and betrayed by the ones she trusted most but the way she handled the situation was wrong, she had taken it a little too far and if Paula and Addison decided to press charges then that was up to them."Keep me posted on ev
