Special shout outs readers with the names Pab, Debra LeBaron Mixer and Chanlin Davies! Y’all are the real MVPs who also almost made me cry whenever I didn’t update and I read your comments, lol. Although I understand that it all came from a place of love for my book and I am so grateful! Thank you so much for coming on this journey with Zahir and Serafina! Now, I know some commonly asked questions. Will there be bonus chapters? Well, I’m thinking about but chances are…I won’t, lol because it will be a huge spoiler for the next book.

Haha😅Well, writing the next book s

Chapter: 187-THE END? ZAHIR It was still dusk and the first morning light was yet to appear. The silence was deafening and I was sure that if I screamed, my voice was going to ring around the whole of Lycaronia. I was relieved. So relieved that everyone was able to escape. I had watched Serafina leave with King Zach and Dahlia in the carriage, not calming down until I got information that they were out of the boundaries. It was just me. Even Steven had left with the others. I had ridden him with the duty of taking care of everything until my return, if it ever happened. But I knew I had to end this once and for all so I stayed back and waited for the Prince to arrive. He was going to meet the shock of his life. I mounted my horse and rode to the eastern part of the boundary as King Zach instructed. According to him, he was going to be coming in through that direction. So I waited on my horse, rage boiling through me when I heard the sound of heavy hooves beating and drawing close to the b

Chapter: 186-ZAHIR ZAHIR. Several men were stationed in different parts of the border. In less than an hour, the human army had filled the whole place, coming with horses, chariots and carriages. They all helped in informing people. They went from house to house, warning the people about an impending attack while the others helped in the evacuation. Some families left with their vehicles while some were helped into carriages and transported to different Kingdoms. It was safer that way. This went on for several hours nonstop but this didn't eradicate the panic that filled my soul. I remained restless, making enquiries on how things were going on functional posts. I was assured not to worry by Steven. "Where are they being evacuated to though?" Steven asked when he returned from his inspector to give me details of what was happening. "They would have to stay in the Kingdoms for the main time. It's the only option we have because Aries is probably on his way here. We can't risk him finding

Chapter: 185–ZAHIRZAHIR. It had to be a dream of some sorts because I didn't believe it was King Zach standing before us. A bigger dream that Serafina was carrying my child. If anyone told me two surprises couldn't coexist, I could easily debunk their statement with these scenarios happening before me. As soon as he set eyes on Serafina, his lips trembled as tears filled his eyes. He moved towards her, his arms spread out to wrap her in a hug but I stretched out my hand, stopping him as he made a move. "How dare you?" I asked, my voice in a low rumble. "What are you doing here? How did you get into my Kingdom?" My eyes narrowed on him. He raised both of his hands in surrender, his expression giving nothing away. "I mean no harm. I am here with good intentions." "Then state it." I gritted out, ignoring Serafina who stood beside me, moving from one side to the other. "I am here to warn you about something," He continued, then his eyes darted towards Serafina. "I am sure she know

Chapter: 184-SERAFINASERAFINA. A gust of wind blew my hair forwards and I forced it back behind my ear before taking in my environment. I was standing on a pier. I recognised this immediately. Turning, I began to walk out of the pier towards the sandy beaches. I was finally back to my mother and this time, I wanted to remain here for good. I wanted to be with my mother. I was done going through all the pain and suffering and didn't want to go back anymore. Being here, right where my mother was, mattered the most to me and I was glad to finally make my way back here. I caught sight of her. She was still dressed in the same clothing. She was gathering sticks to make a fire and when she caught sight of me coming towards her, they dropped to the ground and she straightened. I stopped before her with a teary smile on my face and she pulled me into a hug. We remained in silence until she pulled away and wiped the tears off my cheek. "I want to remain here with you, mother. I don't want to go bac

Chapter: 183–ZAHIRZAHIR. For days, I stayed locked up in my room, drinking my life away and inflicting pain on her when I had the chance to. It was equivalent to inflicting pain on myself but I was unable to stop myself, unable to stop this pain in my chest. Hell, I was far more miserable than she was, beating myself up each time I inflicted pain on her. But there was nothing I could do about it. I was long gone. Things had gone awry in a space of a few days since finding her rummaging my things. I had sent her out in anger and so much hurt. Hell, I had expected her to say something to pacify me at least. Something she really meant and not some stupid fucking apology. Then I thought she had escaped from the palace, unable to take more from me. It had put me through so much panic. I knew how I had searched for her while beating myself up for putting her through a lot only for her to coke running back to me herself. My anger had returned, only intensifying when I caught a whiff of an all too famili

Ex-Husband's Regret: I'm sorry I loved You too late
“You murderer!” No
A resounding slap followed those words from Katrina’s Mother-in-law. The entire extended family gasped in shock but no one made a move to help. Not even Katrina’s husband, Damon Winchester.
He just stood there, watching lazily, like he always did while his mother berated her for every little thing.
But this wasn’t little, no.
This was more than the fine china dishes that were one of the family’s heirlooms which Katrina broke last thanksgiving and earned her harsh insults from her mother-in-law.
This was nothing like the family dinner she made last Christmas that caused half the kitchen to catch fire, needing a renovation.
This couldn't be compared to that afternoon in summer, when she knocked over an antique vase while dusting, freezing as it cracked clean down the middle and her mother-in-law murmured that Katrina’s touch spoiled anything of value.
No.
This was the death of the only woman who loved someone as unlovable as Katrina. The woman who raised her. The woman who constantly fought for Katrina’s place in the Winchester Family even when she didn’t belong.
Alana Winchester, Damon’s grandmother.
Like every other thing, it was all her fault. Everything Katrina touched turned to ashes.

Her little voice. The drawing she had proudly shown him. The tiny pink sticker still sitting carefully in his palm. And then the promise.Damon looked down at the sticker again.He had been given expensive gifts countless times in his life. Watches. Cars. Rare bottles of wine. Pieces of art worth more than most people would earn in a lifetime.None of them had ever meant anything like this. This was a tiny pink heart that an eight-year-old girl had given him because she thought he looked sad.His daughter. The words still felt strange. Beautiful. Terrifying.

For hours, he remained in his bedroom with the lights turned off, staring at the ceiling while the same thought returned again and again.Avery is my daughter.He had said it to Aiden. He had said it to himself. He had even stood in front of Sarah and referred to her as his daughter. Yet somehow, the words still felt unfamiliar. Not because he doubted the result. He didn't.The report had been clear. The probability was so high that there was no room for the kind of uncertainty he had once lived with when it came to Katelyn. This was different. This was science. This was fact.Avery was his child. And that was precisely what terrified him. Damon turned onto his side and looked at the clock. He had spent most of the night thinking about calling Katelyn. He had imagined what he would say.I know about Avery.No. Too abrupt.Why didn't you tell me?Too accusatory.I found out that Avery is my daughter.That sounded even

A home that belonged to her. A daughter who filled the rooms with laughter every morning.

Chapter: CHAPTER 171CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-ONESomewhere in the city was an eight-year-old girl who carried his blood. A little girl who had no idea. A little girl he had already met. Damon's chest tightened. He remembered Avery standing near the children at Bright Horizons.He remembered her voice. Her small hands. The way she had spoken to him without the slightest idea that he was someone she should have known. He remembered seeing her at the company excursion.He had looked at her. Spoken to her. Walked away. And never once imagined that he was looking at his own child. Sarah watched the emotions crossing his face.“You need to think carefully about what happens now.”Damon looked at her. “What happens now?”“She is your daughter.”“I know.”“You have rights.”Damon's expression hardened. “And you think I'm going to use those rights to take her from Katelyn?”“I think you need to make sure Katelyn understands that she cannot keep you away from your own child.”Damon stared at her in disbelie

Chasing My Secretary Wife
*********
“Did you really come all the way here to tell me you were with another woman you slept with and impregnated?”
“What?” Travis is the one who speaks, his voice echoing his shock as he looks from me to Kian. Kian’s usual blank look remains as if he is unaffected by my words and the pain he has caused me.
“Let’s not do this here, Leslie. You know I can’t just leave her.”
I scoff.
“I never stopped you. You know what? You should have never come here. You should have stayed with her since that is where your loyalties lie now and I am no longer in the picture.”
Kian frowns, moving closer and intimidating me just a little with his height and muscular frame, “What does that mean? You are my wife.”
“Ex-wife,” I say the words without even thinking. I didn’t think any of this through but I don’t care because my entire being seems to agree that this is what’s best for me,
“I want a divorce, Kian.”
His eyes grow wide, unable to contain the shock at my words and I am proud of myself that I finally got a reaction that isn’t anger or coldness from him.
“Both the divorce papers and my resignation will find their way to you soon.” I add before he can get over his shock and I don’t wait for him to reply as I turn to an equally stunned Travis.
“Take me home, Travis.”

Mate to One, Luna for Two
“These two men have claimed ownership but you are the only one who can tell us who the boy truly belongs to. Who is the father of you son, Luna Vanessa?”
I stood inbetween both men who still looked they were about to jump each other and then I took one look at my beautiful son, the one who truly mattered and I pointed to the Alpha standing on the left.
“The blood that runs through my son’s veins is his.”
******
Two Alphas.
One Luna.
And a baby in the mix.
It all started with a love so pure and true but ended with a rejection, a scar and a baby which Vanessa swore to keep away from the man who made loving him seem like a crime and wasted three good years of her life.
Four years later, she has managed to forget him and live a comfortable life, posing as the Luna for another Alpha. But then, he returns—Declan Thorne—desperate and hell-bent on taking back what belongs to him.
However, with a son that calls another man ‘father’, his mother who is now the Luna for another and Alpha who took Vanessa in and falls head over heels for her, Declan Thorne has a long way to go before he can win anyone back—his heir or her heart.

Chapter: EPILOGUEVanessa's POV"Vanessa! Come and play with us!""Yes please, we are tired of playing alone," the kids whined as I sat down on the swing and watched them play by themselves."No, we want to play hide and seek," one of the kids whined, and I smiled at them."We have been playing hide and seek all morning," I said, still panting, from running for a long time. "You should play another game or I will have everyone go back inside," I threatened them, but it didn't even look like they were listening to me."Let's play a video game. Whoever wins gets to decide what we do next," one of the kids suggested, and I couldn't help but smile about how they reminded me of Dame in every way. That trick was the same Tristan and Dame always used to get whatever they want, and watching the kids say the same thing made me smile.It was as if the kids knew about my past life. They always find a way to remind me of the past in every way.It's been three years since I left the southern pack. Three years of le

Chapter: 146. FORGET THE PASTVanessa's POVI have concluded that I would be leaving once I regained my strength, but I do not want what happened when I tried to leave the last time to repeat itself. I know Declan would probably be looking all over the place for me, and he might have stopped me from leaving again, so I thought of writing a letter to him instead.I knew going to see him and telling him whatever I had to say was the proper way to end everything, but I was afraid that I might change my mind if I saw his pained expression, or even melt at his words if he surprised me by begging me to stay or do something worse like lock me up in his house to prevent me from leaving. With Declan, one can never be too sure.I opened the drawer and saw everything the way I left it. It was as if Tristan was hoping that one day I would return back to him. I expected him to throw out all of my belongings and wipe out every single trace or reminder of me in his pack, but he didn't.I imagined the good life I could have had w

I spoke to the doctor and he said the side effects of the drug and injection he gave her were drowsiness and hallucination. Judging from how she left the hospital, I want to believe that she was sleepwalking and she is properly in some kind of danger right now.I had my men look everywhere for her, but she was nowhere to be found. We searched everywhere… every single road that led to the hospital. The streets nearby, we even went as far as searching through the people's houses, but there was no sign of Vanessa.I sat in my room, tapping on my table as I thought of where she might have gone. What if she had an accident? Then, the police would have said something. She doesn't have anywhere to go. She doesn't even have anything on her, where could she possibly go?Jenny…I rushed over to the kitchen where Jenny was busy cutt

Chapter: 144. Déjà VuVanessa's POVCrying for so long made me feel numb and it felt like there was no water left in my eyes to shed. The injection given to me made me drowsy and my head felt heavy. I know the smartest thing to do right now was to sleep or at least lay on the bed and get some rest, but I can't afford to be anywhere around Declan anymore and I just wanted to leave.Staying in the hospital reminds me of how I watched Dame's lifeless body on the bed without being able to do anything to revive him and I think it's best to just leave.My vision was blurry, and I felt so weak. I knew I had to leave, but I couldn't even think straight. With trembling hands, I reached for the tube in my arm, wincing as I pulled it out. The pain shot through me, but I gritted my teeth and kept going. Finally, I was able to pull it out, and I staggered out of the ward, barefoot and disoriented.Every step felt like a hassle as I made my way down the corridor. I have to get out of here.

Chapter: 143.HOW WE MOURN THE DEADDeclan's POVI stormed back home, feeling enraged, as my insides boiled with anger like a pot left unattended on a raging fire. Guilt weighed down on me at the reminder of Vanessa's accusations, and shame chewed me up inside. As much as I hated to admit it, she was right. Dame died because of me, I killed him.Even if that was true, it's not like I neglected them intentionally. She has equal blame in all of this. She ran away with my child and only showed up years later. If she hadn't left, or if she had ignored her pride and informed me about the pregnancy, none of this would have happened.Dame's death hasn't been easy on me too, heck, it hasn't been easy on anyone. Even the maids are grieving his death so what made her think she could get mad at me on this? I understand that she was mourning her child, but he was my son too.I could feel all sorts of emotions surge inside me; anger, irritation, hurt, and pain.The last time I felt this way was when I lost Ellena, and now, once agai

I cried every day and became a mess because he was all I lived for. But then Tristan came back to tell me he was alive, all of my pains vanished into the air. It felt like I was given a reason to live again. To work harder, to become a better mother.Just when I thought I had all the time in the world to be with my boy, I lost him to the cold hands of death. I wanted to scream, to yell out my frustration. I wanted to blame somebody so badly, and hate them for the rest of my life, but where do I begin?I haven't shed a single tear since we got back home from the hospital.
