Ray asked, looking around me."Darling, see," I raised a positive test stripe right in front of Ray.Ray carried me straight up into the air, screaming."I am going to be a father, Oh my goddess, I am going to tell everyone now, I am going to be a father, father._"I am feeling dizzy, Ray, drop me down," I said.Ray dropped me back down onto the floor, looking right into my eyes. "Bae, thank you for making me a happy man, I love you so, so much, Words alone can't calculate how much I love you." Ray bent down, pressing his lips right against my belly.The next few months were magical, Ray washed my feet, rubbed my belly, and cooked every single meal I asked him."Ahhhh, Honey, my stomach, It hurts," I screamed, doubled over as I clutched my tummy.Ray rushed over in full speed, lifting me up into the air and carrying me straight out to the car, He slammed his foot on the gas,

Chapter: Chapter 27We walked toward the back of the palace, taking small steps down the stone path."Surprise," Kealven and Vanya shouted together as Dream and Rain rushed forward, grabbing my hands and dragging me straight into the center.The entire courtyard was decorated with colorful flower and bright balloons floating around."What is going on here?" I turned around, looking at everyone."We threw you a goodbye party," Vanya said, pulling me into a warm embrace."Thanks, guys, I really don't even know what to say right now," I said, wiping a tear from my cheek."Maya, we are going to miss you so much," Vanya said, hugging me tightly."I will miss you guys too, but I promise to visit more often.""Aunty, come sing with us," Dream yelled, tugging on my dress."Oh, okay," I laughed, letting her drag me toward the center We spent the entire night singing, dancing, and laughing together until everyone was completely exhausted."Aunty, are you really leaving?

Chapter: Chapter 26"I wrote my own vows," Ray said, holding my hands firmly as he looked right at me. "From the first day I set my eyes on you, I felt butterflies in my belly, I remember when I first got here, I was always running down to the river crying, You always brought me candy, even when I didn't speak a single word to you, I knew from that exact day that I would spend my entire life protecting you, and making sure you are happy, Maya, ever since you came into my life, I wanted to become better and better each day so I could be worthy of you, you aren't just beautiful like an angel, you are kindhearted, and your smile melts away all my sadness, You are my light, in the dark and I am so happy you are willing to light my wick, So Maya, will you take me as your mate? I promise to love and cherish you every day of my life, and even in death, I want to be your guide in heaven.""I am willing to be your mate for life," I said, tears streaming down my face.The officiating elder stepped forward, raisin

"Look who is here, this is your aunty Maya.""Wow, you are so pretty, Aunty Maya," Rain yelled, throwing her arms around my neck in a tight hug."Thanks, Rain," I said, lifting Dream up and setting her right on my lap. "You girls are just as pretty as your mummy."That night, I tossed and turned under unable to sleep."What's wrong, bae?" Ray asked, sliding his arm around my waist."I am just worried about Vanya," I said, letting out a long sigh. "Those elders are so troublesome, and I am trying to think of a way I can help her out.""Don't think too much, bae, We will figure everything out by morning when your brother comes back, go to sleep," Ray said, gently stroking my hair until I finally drifted to sleep."Brother," I yelled the very next morning, jumping straight into my brother's arms."

Elena cried out, her voice cracking as she pointed a shaking finger straight at me."Why is it always her? Alaric will not even look in my direction, he ignores every single thing I do, yet he is standing there ready to marry a divorced woman instead of me?"Alaric stepped in front of me immediately, putting himself between Elena and me."Elena, you need to leave right now," Alaric muttered."You have no right to come barging into Kimberly's suite and speak to her like that.""Why should I leave?" Elena sniffed, wiping her wet face with the sleeve of her dress."Because of her, my entire life is falling apart, my brother is exiling me, he is sending me away to live in another region all by myself just because I tried to secure my own future here, Kimberly stole everything from me, she stole my life and my happiness.""I did not steal anything from you, Elena," I said, gently stepping out from b

Chapter: CHAPTER 48"Wake up, sleepyhead," Janet said, shaking my shoulder gently.I groaned, pulling the blanket higher over my head, but the sweet scent of vanilla and sugar hit my nose, making me pause."What is that smell?" I asked, sitting up and rubbing my eyes."Just get out of bed and see for yourself," Janet mumbled, grabbing my hand and pulling me off the mattress.I stepped out into the main living space of our suite and froze in shock.The entire room was magically decorated with glowing fairy lights, sparkling ribbons, and colorful banners draped across the walls.Standing right in the middle of the room were Alaric and a large group of Obsidian pack members, holding a magnificent, glowing birthday cake covered in candles."Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Kimberly, happy birthday to you, everyone sang in unison."I stood there completely paralyzed, my hands flying up to cover my mouth as tears spilled over my cheeks."Oh my goodness," I muttered, shaking my

Because once I put my signature on this document, there is no going back.""I am completely sure, bring the ink right now," I said, leaning forward."There is no turning back, and I am not going to take you back no matter how much you beg and plead at my door," Daven said, acting as if he held all the power in the world."I said I am not coming back, stop this delusion of yours," I snapped, reaching across the table and grabbing the ink pad.I pressed my thumb firmly into the ink and stamped my print directly onto the signature line, then pushed the papers back toward him."I am done, it is your turn to sign."Daven picked up the pen, hovering it over the paper whi

Chapter: Chapter 125"Du willst wirklich wissen, warum ich das getan habe?", schrie Onkel Derek. Er schüttelte den Kopf und trat näher an meinen Vater heran."Ja, Derek. Sag es mir", erwiderte mein Vater. Seine Hände waren an den Seiten zu festen Fäusten geballt."Warum hast du dein eigenes Blut verraten?""Weil du dafür gesorgt hast, dass mein Junges nichts bekommt!", schrie Onkel Derek. Seine Stimme überschlug sich vor Wut."Ja, du hast mir den Titel des Alphas gegeben. Aber was passiert, wenn ich sterbe? Du hast bestimmt, dass Garrick oder Garricks männlicher Nachkomme der nächste Alpha wird, anstatt eines meiner eigenen Kinder. Meine Kinder werden einfach beiseitegeschoben wie wertloser Müll. Warum?"Ich starrte ihn an und runzelte verwirrt die Stirn."Warte mal ... Wovon redest du überhaupt? Deine Luna und deine Kinder leben doch im südlichen Territorium. Ich dachte immer, du liebst diese Gegend einfach und wolltest außerdem unsere Geschäfte dort ausbauen.""Was für ein Unsinn!", brüllte Onkel Derek

Chapter: Kapitel 124"Gib mir mein Junges zurück", schrie ich und trat einen Schritt nach vorn. Die beiden maskierten Gestalten standen regungslos unter den Ästen.Die größere der beiden, die die kleine Rain in den Armen hielt, hob eine Hand."Lasst mich zuerst meine Familie sehen. Sonst töte ich Rain auf der Stelle."Kaelven machte einen Satz nach vorn und riss die Hände hoch."Tu meinem Kind nichts! Wir haben deine Familie nicht in unserer Gewalt. Wir haben gelogen. Aber wir können das hier friedlich klären. Sag einfach, was du verlangst."Der maskierte Mann, der Rain festhielt, schüttelte den Kopf."Bevor ich dir dein Kind zurückgebe, musst du tun, was ich sage. Vanya, komm her. Geh langsam auf mich zu und halte die Hände hoch. Danach werde ich Rain zu Kaelven werfen."Ich erstarrte und starrte den Mann an, der Rain festhielt. Ein seltsamer Schauer lief mir über den Rücken.Diese Stimme ... Sie klang so unglaublich vertraut. Ich kannte sie doch irgendwoher, aber ich konnte sie einfach nicht zuordnen. A

Chapter: Chapter 123"Der Zauber heißt Dim", erklärte mein Vater und trat näher, während draußen die Menschenmenge weiterhin gegen das Tor hämmerte."Er kann aufdecken, wer hinter all dem steckt, indem er sich an der Person orientiert, die dieser Mensch am meisten liebt oder der er am meisten vertraut. So können wir denjenigen herauslocken, indem wir ihn glauben lassen, dass wir einen seiner geliebten Menschen in unserer Gewalt haben. Auf diese Weise können wir Rain sicher zurückbekommen und gleichzeitig dafür sorgen, dass sich der Schuldige selbst zeigt.""Wow, Vater, du bist ein Genie!", sagte ich und klatschte begeistert in die Hände."Es gibt allerdings ein Problem. Wir können ihnen keine Nachricht zukommen lassen."Garrick trat vor und verschränkte die Arme vor der Brust."Keine Sorge, Schwesterherz. Ich weiß, wie seine Leute vorgehen. Seine Spione sind überall in der Stadt. Wir schreiben einfach eine Nachricht auf ein Blatt Papier, stecken sie in einen Umschlag und legen ihn draußen in den Briefkast

Chapter: Kapitel 122Der Wachmann stolperte herein und drückte Kaelven einen versiegelten Umschlag direkt in die Hand.Kaelven riss das Wachssiegel auf und öffnete hastig den Brief. Seine Augen flogen über die Zeilen."Was steht darin?", fragte ich und packte ihn am Ärmel."Lies ihn laut vor."Kaelven nickte, ohne aufzusehen, und begann vorzulesen."Keine Sorge, eure Kleine ist bei uns in Sicherheit. Wir werden uns gut um sie kümmern. Wenn du sie wirklich zurückhaben willst, weißt du, was zu tun ist: Lege sofort deinen Titel als Lycan nieder und unterwirf dich dem nördlichen Lycan. Dann lasse ich deine kleine Rain und deine Mutter frei. Verschwende keine Zeit."Kaelven zerknüllte den Brief zu einer festen Kugel und schlug mit der Faust so heftig gegen eine steinerne Säule, dass es laut krachte."Ich werde diesen räudigen Hund finden, der es wagt, meine kleine Prinzessin zu entführen!", brüllte Kaelven und wirbelte herum."Bruder, was sollen wir jetzt tun?", fragte Maya und eilte ihm hinterher."Der Absend

Chapter: Kapitel 121"Und von wem redest du, Garrick?"Garrick schüttelte den Kopf, trat einen Schritt zurück und hob abwehrend die Hände."Das können sie nicht gewesen sein. Vielleicht hat jemand den Schlüssel gestohlen. Ich kann einfach nicht glauben, dass sie dahinterstecken.""Warum sagt ihr beide nichts?", schrie ich und ballte die Hände an meinen Seiten zu Fäusten.Kaelven stellte sich zwischen uns."Jetzt erinnere ich mich. Als mein Vater mir damals einen Schlüssel gab, sprach er von bestimmten Personen, die ebenfalls einen Schlüssel zum Bunker besaßen. Aber Garrick hat recht. Sie können es nicht gewesen sein. Jemand muss ihn gestohlen haben. Aber wer?""Hört beide auf, in Rätseln zu sprechen, und sagt mir endlich, wer diese Leute sind!", verlangte ich und sah abwechselnd von einem zum anderen."Frag mich nicht noch einmal danach", sagte Garrick und wandte sich abrupt ab."Na schön, dann eben nicht!

Die verschwommenen Bäume vor mir begannen sich zu drehen, bis ich sie endlich wieder erkennen konnte. Hastig richtete ich mich auf und krallte meine Hände ins Gras."Rain! Wo ist mein kleines Mädchen?", schrie ich und presste eine Hand an meine Brust."Rain, wo bist du? Mama hat Angst!""Beruhige dich, Vanya", sagte Kaelven und hielt mich an den Armen fest, damit ich nicht blindlings tiefer in den Wald davonstürmte."Sieh mich an, Vanya. Du bist gerade ohnmächtig geworden. Dieser Ort ist nicht sicher. Wir müssen sofort von hier verschwinden.""Ich gehe nicht!", schrie ich und stieß gegen seine Brust."Ich werde nirgendwo hingehen, bevor ich Rain zurückbekommen habe! Sie haben mein kleines Mädchen mitgenommen, Kaelven! Sie haben unsere geliebte Rain und deine Mutter entführt.

She is just a guest, we were just talking about the weather, that's all.""Oh, okay, Come, let's go home, the car is ready," Mr. Damon said, walking toward the vehicle with me following right behind him.The moment we got home, I rushed to my room, collapsed onto the bed, and drifted fast asleep.The next morning, I walked downstairs and instantly froze, Ivana was standing right there in the living room, smiling brightly with her young son beside her, As I turned around to tiptoe back upstairs, Mr. Damon spotted me."Bella, come, let's eat breakfast together."Please, God, let Ivana not recognize me as Luke's ex wife, If she does, I am completely finished, I panicked internally.I walked slowly down the stairs and took a seat at the dining table.

"Come make a wish, sir."He stared at the lit candle for a moment, closed his eyes, and blew out the flame."Thank you so much, Bella, this means alot to me, the last time I got a surprise like this was when my wife was alive, I wasn't as rich as now back then, but every single year on my birth

Oh no, I haven't saved up enough money yet to leave. "Bella, you don't seem to trust me, it's fine, I am still a stranger to you, but I promise I will protect you, from any danger, you just need to tell me." "It's not like that, I do trust you." "Since you do, why didn't you tell me your ex-husband asked you to come meet him in private? Why did you go alone, knowing full well he could hurt you?" "I didn't want to drag you into my mess, that's why I went alone, and as for Luke, I genuinely didn't know he could be that violent."
