Chapter: Hundred and Sixty nine HAILEYEPILOGUECarter has been the best father to our daughter, Amelia. From the day he found out about my pregnancy, he had been nothing but caring.Every weekend, we always went shopping for baby items, even without knowing the gender of our baby.And when our baby was finally born, Carter's joy knew no bounds. Whenever Amelia cried at night, he'd ask me to rest while he fed her the milk and rocked her to sleep.He even abandoned the company for Xavier in order to be with me and Amelia. He was ever present and I didn't have any complain whatsoever. My only fear was that she'd grow up to be a daddy's girl and forget me.Carter treated our daughter exactly how I wished to be treated by my father. Everyday, when I thought I'd seen the end, Carter would come up with new ways of loving Amelia. I wouldn't be surprised if her first word was his name.After my rebirth, I had never thought I'd find love again. I had given up on it and planned that after carrying out my revenge, I'd start a

Chapter: Hundred and Sixty Eight CARTER"She's really grumpy and demanding but I love every second of it," I said, knotting my tie."I'm sure you do." Xavier replied, "I'd even mistake you for the carrying the child because of how happy and healthy you look," Xavier's comment made me laugh. He was right as I had heard the comment several times. A lot of people said I was enjoying the process of fatherhood way to much and my reply was always the same,"Becoming a father to Hailey's and my child was the best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire years of existence." Though the pregnancy made Hailey act up and become easily irritated with everything including me, I didn't mind. I loved every single moment of it and because of that, I now had a journal where I document each day of her pregnancy. Her food cravings, her likes and dislikes and so much more.Another thing about Hailey was that the pregnancy made her conscious of her body. She'd stand in front of a mirror and comment on how fat and out of shape sh

Chapter: Hundred and Sixty Seven CARTERHailey's behaviour left me worried as this was the first time I had seen her this way. After she threw up, I couldn't help but notice how deathly pale she looked and the fact that she didn't touch her food made me scared.I found it difficult to concentrate as my mind thought of several reasons as to why she looked pale. Perhaps was she sick with a deadly, incurable disease? Due to how deep in thought I was, I didn't notice when Xavier walked in, until he placed a document on my table and muttered, "Earth to Carter.""Oh" I looked at him, "When did you come in?""Not long ago," He replied, taking a seat, "What's on your mind?""Hailey," I replied."What about her?" He asked curiously."I think she's sick.""Why do you have that thought?""Because for the first time ever, she threw up and she looks pale," I sighed, "and when I asked her, she said it's that time of the month. I think she's trying to hide something from me," I placed my elbow on the table and rested my head on it

Chapter: Hundred and Sixty SixHAILEYMy relationship with Carter had improved considerable after the honeymoon proposal. We barely argued and we did everything together. He was the sweetest and the most perfect man for me. I had gotten used to his sweet side which he only used for me alone.Carter and I stood in the kitchen, which had become a regular witness to our intimate sessions. But that wasn't the point. We were baking a bread together for breakfast and we were waiting for it to be ready."Do you think it'll come out great?" I asked even though I already knew the answer. Carter was a great good and I envied him for that quality."Of course," He smiled, "Whatever I whisk up must come out delicious. Chefs kiss" He folded his fingers, brought it to his lips and kissed loudly.I rolled my eyes at him with a smile on his face, "Narcissist," I muttered."It'd be a waste to be this good and not show it off, you know that right?"I threw an ugly face at him and he laughed. "Don't tell me you're jealous?" He wrapped

Chapter: Hundred and Sixty FiveCARTERI stood and stared at the vast expanse of greeny before me.Xavier had told me before hand about Temmy asking me to lead her pack.I knew what she was worried about.Temmy was capable of ruling, but the fear of the Innocent people having to suffer if any mischief came up was the issue.I'd been thinking about it for a while and I decided to finally say it to Xavier.A combined honeymoon, Carter and Hailey, Temmy and I.However we'd have to leave that pack and although the peace was all settled, it'd still take a lot of arrangements to make for a trip like that. "Xavier,"I called from behind as he walked towards me."What are you doing here," I asked and shook my hands." Thank you for accepting Temmy's offer," he thanked and he gave a stoic response."I've something to suggest Xavier," I began and he turned to look at me Interestedly." What is it that you've in stock," he asked as I kept mute."A combined honeymoon," I said and he stood shocked before finally getting a grasp

Chapter: Hundred and Sixty FourTEMMYI lay down on my bed, reminiscing about the relationship between Xavier and me.I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts to no avail, they consumed me whole.I'd been thinking about it the whole day, our relationship, my relationship with him.It felt even more different after the incident that happened last.When he told me that he loved me, I felt my heart thump rapidly but it thumped harder when I saw him losing consciousness in my arms.A Small part of me wanted to stop but I couldn't, I struggled harder to stop the rampage Inside of me.But despite all this, he didn't stop holding, despite the chances that it could be his last chance of survival.A thought clicked in my mind, I'd marked Xavier and he had as well, but I had no memories of doing so.Love was sweet and I ran my hands through the mate mark on my body, smiling like a Cheshire cat to myself.The small date, little Jabments of PDA when we both hadn't confessed our feelings to each other, the thrill that came wit

Chapter: Trusting her strength CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREEGRAHAMThe morning air smelled of damp earth and pine when I stepped outside. Dew clung to the grass, glittering under the weak sunlight. For a heartbeat, the pack grounds looked peaceful, warriors finishing their early patrols, maids carrying baskets of bread from the kitchen, children chasing each other across the courtyard.But I knew better. Quiet mornings could hide trouble.Ronald was waiting near the training field, arms crossed, eyes scanning the perimeter. He spotted me and came forward immediately.“Alpha,” he greeted with a short nod. “The patrols reported no breaches overnight, but there were faint tracks near the southern ridge. Could be hunters. Could be nothing.”“Nothing is still something,” I said. “Keep eyes on that ridge. Double the watch for the next few nights.”He nodded without hesitation. “Already done.”We started walking the field together. Warriors sparred in the distance, their shouts cutting through the crisp air. Norma

Chapter: Our babyCHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREEZoeyThe soft glow of morning spilled across the room, warm and golden. I blinked awake slowly, stretching against the sheets before realizing Graham wasn’t beside me. For a heartbeat my chest tightened, but then the faint smell of chamomile drifted across the room and I noticed the small tray on the table near the window.Steam rose from a cup of tea, delicate and fragrant, next to a plate of sliced fruit and warm bread. Graham. My heart softened. He must have slipped out quietly, leaving this behind so I’d have something to wake up to.I pushed myself up, wrapping a blanket around my shoulders as I crossed the room. A small folded note rested beside the cup.Stay in bed if you’re tired. I’ll be back soon. Drink the tea first. A smile tugged at my lips. Overprotective, sweet, infuriating Graham. I sat by the table and sipped the tea. The gentle warmth spread through me, easing the faint morning queasiness that had started to become familiar.The

Chapter: I believed himCHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWOZOEYThe room was quiet except for the soft crackle of the fire. I was curled on the bed, blanket tucked around me, one hand resting on my stomach out of habit. The nights had grown colder, and though the warmth of the flames was enough, I still found myself missing Graham’s steady body beside me.The door opened at last, hinges groaning in protest. Graham stepped inside, tall and steady as always, but there was something in his eyes, a shadow he couldn’t quite hide.“You’re late,” I said softly.“I know.” His voice was low, heavy. He closed the door behind him, hung his cloak on the peg, and for a moment just stood there. His shoulders were tight, his jaw set like stone.My stomach tightened. “Council?”He nodded once.I waited for more, but he didn’t move, didn’t speak. Just stood there as though trying to carry the weight of the entire world on his back.“Graham,” I said gently, pushing the blanket aside. “Come here.”He crossed the room slowly, a

Chapter: Vow to protect CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONEGRAHAMThe council chamber was colder than usual, though the fire blazed bright in the hearth. I could feel the weight of every pair of eyes on me as I walked in. The long wooden table stretched between us, carved with generations of names, but tonight it felt more like a battlefield.Miriam sat straight-backed, her thin lips pressed together, arms folded as though she had already won a silent argument. To her left, Elder Caine drummed his fingers on the table, thoughtful but watchful. The others sat in a half-circle of stern faces.I didn’t bother sitting.“Let’s not waste time,” I said, my voice carrying through the chamber. “I know what’s being whispered. I know why you’ve called me here.”Miriam’s chin lifted. “Then you know this is no whisper. It is truth. The Luna carries a child, and the timing is reckless.”I held her gaze, calm but firm. “The timing is what the Goddess has given us. That makes it sacred, not reckless.”Her nostrils flared. “

Chapter: You’re insaneCHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTYZOEYBy the time Graham left to meet with the council, my chest still felt tight. His words in the courtyard had been like fire, sharp, blazing, impossible to ignore. He had defended me without hesitation, and made it clear to everyone that I wasn’t alone.And yet, when the door closed behind him, the silence in our room was heavy.I couldn’t stop hearing Miriam’s voice in my head. Reckless.I pressed a hand to my stomach, a habit that was starting to form without me realizing it. I wanted to believe Graham’s strength could shield me from everything, but doubts crept in through the cracks.Before those thoughts swallowed me whole, I pushed myself up from the bed. My feet carried me almost on their own, down the hall, across the courtyard, until I reached Hannah’s quarters.The door was open.Inside, Hannah was bent over her herb table, grinding leaves into powder. Lily sat cross-legged on the rug, braiding thin threads of colored yarn together, humming t

Chapter: Fellow womenCHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN ZOEYThe morning air was cool when I walked into the courtyard. The sun had barely climbed above the trees, and yet the pack grounds were already alive with movement, warriors training, mothers calling after their children, and servants carrying trays of food to the hall.I was only halfway across the yard when I noticed it, the stares. Not the usual curious glances that came when I first arrived here, not even the warm smiles I had gotten after proving myself in little ways. These were different.Whispers.Eyes dropping to my stomach before flicking away. Hushed voices quickly muffled when I passed.At first, I thought I was imagining it. But when two older women near the well exchanged a look, then leaned closer to whisper again, my heart sank.They knew.Somehow, the secret wasn’t a secret anymore.I kept walking, holding my head high like nothing was wrong, but inside, my chest was tight. My hand itched to press against my stomach protectively, bu
