Draco's POV‘Yelena did not abandon me.She was sentenced to five years of solitary confinement.She died!She died in a custody duel with Evan!’Those words keep echoing in my head as I push Hades, my wolf, to run faster and faster. I don't let him stop, even as day gives way to night, and night gives way to another day. On and on he runs. I urge him forward, pushing him beyond his limit. I can feel his exhaustion in the way my heart pounds against my ribs, as if it's about to burst through my chest.I don't care. I want it to burst, if possible. For twenty-five years, I hated the name, Yelena Kuznetsov. I thought she didn't want me anymore. I thought she gave up on me. I thought she left me with Evan so she could get married and start a new family. I stopped thinking of her as my mother and allowed every memory we shared to be replaced by hatred.I was wrong. She did not abandon me. She was imprisoned. For five years, she was locked away in a dank, empty castle because of me. While

"Victoria! Come back here! Victoria!"She continues shouting, but I don't look back. I run down the stairs, through the living room, and burst out the door.‘Good,’ I think to myself when I see her car is still parked outside. One less obstacle blocking my car's path.I go straight to the garage and input the door code. The door slides up smoothly. I step inside and immediately notice that my Daddy's car isn't there. Maybe it hasn't been brought home from his office yet. My car is where it usually is, parked beside the family sedan.The tears I've been trying so hard to hold back spill freely when I see that the cover has been removed, I guess in readiness for my return. My daddy just never forgets. I wipe my tears with my fingers as I walk over to the key holder on the wall and retrieve mine.The sweet, fresh fragrance that greets me when I open the driver's door further confirms that the car has been recently vacuumed."Oh, Daddy..." I whisper. I lay my head against the steering whe

"No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!..."My two idiotic friends chant along with the rest of the people, their tightly clenched fists punching the air in aggression."No one deserves to die just because they met their mate!" Ben's voice booms above the noise. "Mates and mate bonds come from the Moon Goddess herself. She pairs us with whoever she believes is best suited for us.""Yeah!" Liam shouts his agreement. "Thor Quinn has committed a great sin, and he must atone for it with his life!"The Luna's eyes light up as she looks in our direction at Liam."Exactly!" she shouts, pointing at him. It's obvious he has said exactly what was on her mind. "This is America! No one is above the law, no matter how powerful they are. This bastard killed our Alpha and Beta. The only way he can atone for it is with his life! A life for a life! Thor Quinn must die!"Th people shout and cheer in agreement."Yessss!""Yeah!""Thor Quinn must die!""Thor Quinn must die!"They chant over and over. After a w

Right there in the kitchen, we cry on each other's shoulders until we have no tears left. Then we console and encourage each other with words of comfort.Mom leaves for patrol duty after finishing the dishes. She says she needs to occupy herself with work; otherwise, she'll go crazy. She is on her way there when she meets me outside.I return to the living room, where my luggage is still waiting unattended, and sigh. The maids would have taken everything upstairs and unpacked for me if they were still around. Now I'll have to take care of them myself.I take my holdall in one hand and hoist one large suitcase in the other, carrying them up the stairs. Thank Moon Goddess for super-wolf strength. How would I have managed otherwise?I drop the bags in front of my door and go back for another set. I still have four more large suitcases to carry upstairs."Ugh!"I groan when I remember I still have to unpack them."Fuck!"Boasting that I can survive without maids was stupid.Now I realize

"The Alpha himself set up the duel between them? Thor didn't request it!?" I ask Mom again, surprised.We're in the living room, where she's telling me everything she knows about Daddy and the Alpha's murder or kidnapping case."Yes. Four months ago, after the last rogue attack, he called an emergency executive meeting to inform us that he was no longer fit to rule. The winner between his two sons would become Silver Moon's new Alpha.""Then it doesn't make sense."She frowns."What doesn't make sense?""The Luna's suspicion doesn't make sense. Thor has no reason to harm Daddy and the Alpha."She chuckles, looking at me in disbelief."Did you hear the part where I said their bullet-ridden car was found on his land?""By whom? The Council police? I thought the case hadn't even been reported yet.""Not the Council police. The Gamma Chief and your colleagues. They took photos and–"My laughter cuts her short."How did they gain access to his land, a private property, when they're not law

In the car, I text Mom to let her know I'm on my way. Although my heart is heavy, I couldn't be more grateful that, back then, Daddy declined the Alpha's offer to live in Alpha's Mansion–a magnificent building built for the pack's Alpha and Beta to live in with their families. Today of all days, I have no desire to come in contact with our nasty Luna and her detestable son.Our house might not be as grand as Alpha's Mansion, but it is a home built with love. The split-level French-style house, with its European elegance, boasts a sloped roof, a stone-and-stucco façade, an elegant front-yard landscape, and a backyard that exudes village warmth while maintaining its city sophistication. A huge free-form swimming pool completes it. I wouldn't trade it for a hundred Alpha's mansions.As the car turns into our driveway, I'm not surprised to see there's no one waiting to welcome me home, not even one of the house staff. I wonder why the gate is wide open and the place looks this quiet thoug

"The Council Chairman!" I exclaim with surprise when I see a familiar white-haired old man walk out from beside the villa and towards the aisle. "The Council Chairman is the officiant!?"He grins"Surprise!" He says with a flourish "Now walk. And remember, your best man is closely behind."I happily smile and nod at our guests as I walk behind the old man hobbling on his walking stick.I can't believe that the Council Chairman himself is going to officiate our wedding!? He's already so old but still makes the time. Today sure is full of pleasant surprises. He arrives at the front and turns to face the guests."Council Chairman, what an honor this is," I say as I arrive before him, my back to the guests.He smiles "Giving the opportunity to join the Chosen ones of House War-Cloud and House Howell in matrimony is a great honor that I dare not pass to another."I nod and he also nods backEveryone arrive at the front and stand at their respective places as we had rehearsed. The moment

I look at my Patek Philippe Nautilus watch before getting up to start dressing up. Just as I put on my tuxedo jacket, someone knocks on my door."Come in," Eric answers Timothy enters, already dressed for the occasion."The guests have arrived. The ceremony will begin soon." He saysI nod and reply,"We're ready. We'll be out soon." He nods and leavesEric finishes buttoning his tux before turning to me. He looks at me critically as he brushes something off my satin lapel and straightens my bowtie."Hmm..." He says satisfactorily before taking a step back. "Hair– on point. Skin– flawless. Tux– immaculate. Shoes– nice pair, they really compliment your outfit. All in all, you look good, man. Your bride will fall in love with you all over again."I smile at his compliment."What about the ring? Do you have it?" I ask to be sure he hasn't forgotten."I have it right here." He replies with a nod, patting on the area it is resting inside his tux. I exhale and nod"Then shall we?" He

Instead of going back to sleep like I tell him, he groans and slumps back into bed."Ugh!... C'mon, don't be a bitch about this."I scoff, looking at him in disbelief."Who's the bitch here? You're obviously tired and need to rest. I'm allowing you to do that but you can't see my good intentions." I guess he thinks I was being sarcastic when I apologized for disturbing his sleep.He sighs and gets out of bed then go to the wet bar. There, he gets a bottle of water and gulps it down in one go. "Now I'm awake..." He says before asking me, "Water?""Yeah, sure," I replyHe hands me the water before going to sit on the sofa."Alright, tell me about your anxiety attack.""I can't sleep. I thought I mentioned that earlier." ''Why can't you sleep?""How the hell am I supposed to know? I just can't!" I know I sounded defensive right now. That's because I know this conversation would end up with him poking fun at me."I wouldn't have found sleep difficult if I was at Alpha's mansion. My m

Two weeks laterThor's POV 1:10 am! I glare in disbelief at the digital clock on my bedside drawer as if it's its fault that time chooses to be moving at a snail's pace today of all days. It was 12:49 the last time I checked, I can't believe that only nineteen minutes had gone by since then."Ugh!" I growl and slump back in bed as I recall all the advice I got yesterday from all the females around me. (that did not include my mate, mind you. I haven't spoken to her in two days because of some Howell's wedding tradition)"You should go to bed early, Alpha," Lily said as they were about to leave for Night Howlers Pack. (They are Ash's maids and matron of honor.)"Yes, you should." Carla chipped in, nodding, before I could ask Lily why she wanted me to go to bed early. "Poor sleep can lead to breakouts, you know?" "Breakouts?" I asked, looking at both of them with interest."Yes, breakout. Believe me, Alpha, you don't want that..." Clarita replied, looking appalled as she shook her he

I step out of the lobby's revolving door and frantically look around me. I don't see him anywhere but his essence is stronger. He's definitely here."Ma'am..." A voice questioningly calls and I turn around to see Jeremy, one of my security details that comes from my Dad. I wonder where he sprang from? "Have you seen the Alpha– I mean my mate?" I say, handing him my backpack."No, ma'am, I haven't." He replies, looking in the parking lot's direction."Yeah, maybe he's just arriving," I say and hurry towards the place. When the parking lot becomes visible, I smile when I see him leaning on his car reading a book. Immediately, he turned in my direction and grinned as if he knew I was coming. I know it's because he smells my essence.I run, speedily closing the gap between us, and then jump into his arms, tightly wrapping myself around him like a koala bear hugging a tree."Oh, hi, monkey." He says, chuckling.I laugh, slightly pulling away from him "Hello, monkey's husband," I say. "

Twelve weeks later"Prom is more than a dance, Miss Reynolds. It is also used to celebrate and honor students who excel in academics, athletics, and extracurricular activities..." Mrs Jones, my homeroom teacher, lectures me. "Even though you're only spending this term with us, your excellent performance has made you popular among the teachers. You're also loved by not just your peers but also your juniors. Even though you're a new student, they voted for you to be on the prom court, and with what I've been hearing on the grapevine about you, I'm sure they would vote for you to be this year's Prom Queen. Now, won't they be disappointed if they find out you don't want to be part of the event? It would be a shame if..."'Would it? Aren't you over-exaggerating?' I think as I continue to listen to her drone on and on. Contrary to what she's been saying. As far as I know and can see, no one truly cares about anyone amongst my peers in Apex Academy. Most of them are rich, pompous, opportu

Now, why would he buy her panties and bra for goodness's sake as if they were still dating? What would Luis say if he found out her ex-boyfriend who was also the father of her child bought her panties and bra, even under such circumstances? And why was he even acting like it was no big deal? As if men buying their ex-girlfriends panties and bras happens all the time!How did he even know her size? Yes, he bought those things for her in the past when they were dating. But how could he tell that her size has not increased because of childbirth?Cora knew Zach that he was not a man of many words who also didn't beat around the bush. Even at that, she still thinks something must be wrong with his brain when he told her..."Oh, and I took the liberty of getting you another set of underwear too. I thought you might want a fresh one for the night'Like what the hell Zach! Are you totally out of your mind!?' she thought to herself and managed to reply to him casually ''Yeah sure, thanks!''S

Isabella was excitedly telling her mother about her stuffed unicorn when Zach cleared his throat loudly making mother and child to look up from the unicorn they were both checking out and toward himZach raised an eyebrow at Isabella in question then. It seemed to Cora that the two of them had earlier discussed something while she was on the phone with Luis. She alternatingly looked from Zach to Isabella wondering what it was they both knew that she didn't know.Isabella also stared back at her dad for some seconds in confusion..."Ohh..." She suddenly said in realization when she remembered what it was her father was trying to tell her.Her face became sad and she turned to her mother with a very sorry expression on her face"I'm sorry mommy for my behavior earlier... Throwing tan- tan?- tan?-tarium?..." She sounded unsure while looking towards her dad for help since she had forgotten the actual word her dad used when he told her with his daddy's voice that she owed her mother an apo

Even though Zach didn't understand why the thought of Cora having a man was like a bitter pill in his mouth, he still told himself she has the right to have a man in her life. She has the right to fall in love, get married to the man she loves and give birth to Isabella's sister or brother. He agreed with himself that she has the right to be happy and if that is what would make her happy then so be it. After all it was not her fault they broke up, it's his and his family's fault He already made up his mind to spend the night with Cora and Isabella at the hospital so when he was done thinking about Cora and her boyfriend, he went to the mall to get some things they would be needing, everything he felt the three of them would need to have a comfortable night, he boughtAfter he was done shopping for the basic things, he went to the toy store and bought a stuffed unicorn toy exactly like the one Samantha couldn't sleep without at home. The only difference being Samantha's unicorn was p

'Corazon has a man in her life!?' There was a dreadful feeling inside Zach's heart as he asked himself that question over and over again. He became restless and immediately started pacing within the small space where his car was parked.After a while, he stopped pacing, closed his eyes, and pinched the bridge of his nose. A habit he knew always calmed him down whenever he was overwhelmed by any information he couldn't process.He's been pacing back and forth for the past ten minutes and he couldn't understand why. Why there's a hollow feeling deep inside his stomach. Why his thoughts were all jumbled up and Why the thoughts of Cora having a man in her life was such a big deal to him!"Dammit!" He suddenly swore out loud, startling awake a sick, cranky baby that the mother just managed to coax to sleep.The baby's cry rends through the parking lot also startling Zach out of his deep thoughts. He looked towards where the baby's cry was coming from and met head-on with the mother's death

Ryan Sheldon's parents were more of a parent to Zach than his own parents. When he was a kid, he spent more time with Ryan's mom who was more of a mother to him than his own mother. His mother would drop him and his sister off at the Sheldon's place and lie she had somewhere important she ought to be when they all know her definition of important was shopping and partying After Ryan left for his own house. Zach called Ryan's mom, Kelly, who Samantha was spending the night with. They spoke for a while about general things before Zach briefed her about Cora and Isabella. When they were done talking, the phone was passed over to Samantha."Daddy guess what?..." Samantha said excitedly as soon as the phone was given to her. She didn't wait for her father to answer before she went ahead to say what she wanted to say anyway"I'm baking your favorite chocolate cake!""Oh really?'' Zach as

Zach chuckled at Isabella's words and eagerness."Honey, let's concentrate on one thing at a time. How about we concentrate on getting better first before we talk about living together. How about that?" He asked and Isabella nodded happily in agreement"Great! Now why don't we call him right now and find out if you're much better." Zach said and reached out to press the bell beside Isabella's bed."Doctor, tell my dad I'm better now so he can take me on a ride in his helicopter" Isabella said as soon as the doctor walked in through the door."Wow, okay Missy." The doctor laughed. "Let's give you a check up then to find out how strong you are" The doctor checked her vital signs and saw everything was okay. She wasn't showing any adverse reactions."Actually dad, princess Isabella is perfectly okay" The doctor said to Zach. "The transfusion will be completed in an hour's time then we'll watch her for another twenty-four hours after which sh
