Chapter 52I'm Sorry.Elara Winterfell.Isabel was discharged two days later and looked as good as new. Her tummy was flat, and she looked exhausted. It made me wonder why she hadn't stayed in the hospital a bit longer."Elara…" She squeaked immediately her eyes met mine, and she started making her way towards me.She was limping slowly towards me, and all eyes were on us. Her family was also here; in fact, everyone who was around that night was here. They watched from the sidelines as she approached me, her eyes filling with tears."Elara…" She reached where I stood and took my hand in hers. Her hands were cold against mine. “I'm sorry, Elara. For all the trouble you are going through. I have asked Rowan to drop the charges. I know that whatever happened, you didn't mean to do it.”“What?” My eyebrows pulled together. What kind of rubbish acting was this? She was making herself look like the victim who had a big heart and would always save the villain, while I was the villain who was

Chapter 51What is coming?Natasha Reeds.I turned over the bed and couldn't find Rowan. A frown formed on my face, and I stood up, sliding into my flip-flop at the edge of the bed. The room was dark, and I flicked on the switch. My frown deepened when I saw the room door slightly ajar, and from the opening, I could see Elara's room open too.No. No. It couldn't be what I was thinking. No. Rowan wouldn't be doing that. But the way my heart raced told me something different. Flashes of all the warnings I had received from people concerning Elara began to surface."Rowan?” I called out and hurriedly made my way out of our room, rushing into Elara's room.I opened the door wider, and I spotted Rowan immediately. On the bed, Elara was fast asleep, and it looked as if someone had tucked her in because of the way the covers were. I let out an annoyed huff and looked towards Rowan, who was slowly rocking one of her children to sleep."Are you serious right now, Rowan?” My voice was loud and

Chapter 50.Which Child?Dean Tobago.It was already two days after Isabel's accident, and things seemed to calm down a bit. I took confident steps towards the expensive café at the corner of the street."Mr. Dean? Please come this way. Mr. Salvatore has been waiting for your arrival.” The waiter met me at the door and ushered me into the café.I saw him the moment I stepped into the café. His silver hair always made him stand out in any crowd. I made my way towards him after thanking the waiter before settling into his booth."Mr. Salvatore.” I nodded to him."Mr. Dean.” He nodded back."When I asked you to destroy the big three families, I didn't expect you to sleep with the wife of the lowest of them and get her pregnant.” He stated harshly, his eyes forming into narrow slits."It has been handled.” I told him. “Don't worry about that. How is my mother doing?” I asked him.He paused and gave me a long look before sighing and taking out his phone. “She is doing well. Responding to t

Chapter 49.A Week.Natasha Reeds.Everytime Elara! Everytime Elara! Why couldn't she just die already!!! This engagement dinner was supposed to be the highlight of the year! I invited all top magazine companies and media firms to come and fill this, but what happens…? Elara decides to try to kill Isabel and mess things up for me! And not only that, but my godson is gone too!"Let's step outside for a moment, Natasha.” My mother came to my side at the hospital wing; she still looked good as usual. All her hair and clothes were kept together, unlike me who looked…“Mother, not right now.” I tried to stop her. I knew what she was going to say, and I wasn't ready to hear it."I will meet you at the parking lot in the next ten minutes, Natasha. Be there.” She said as if she hadn't heard me and walked past me into the elevator."Don't piss your mother off, Natasha. Go and talk to her. She always wants what is best for you.” My father came behind me with a warm smile on his, his lips pursed

Chapter 48Coma.Daniel Russo.“Sir, you have a call from the hospital." Nadine, my secretary, pushed the door open and came in.I stared at her with tired eyes. “It's past 3 a.m. in the morning, Nadine. You should go back home already.”Her eyes softened as she entered the office and made her way towards me."Sir…" She began in a sultry voice as she hiked her dress a little high to her thighs to sit on my legs. “Let me take care of you for the night. You've been so stressed for the last few months, and you've barely had anything to—”My free hand found her throat, and I squeezed softly on it, using my other hand to pull her closer into me.She gasped when she felt my hardness against the crevice of her wet panties, directly against the entrance. And goosebumps erupted all over her skin when I brushed my nose against her neck and whispered into her ears."Not now, Nadine. Maybe some other time.” I pecked her neck softly, but she wasn't listening.She started rocking herself against my

Chapter 47 A Twin Elara Winterfell. The house was eerily quiet as I paced up and down the entire corners of Rowan's house. Anna was somewhere in her quarters, avoiding me. She actually believed that I caused the accident, even though I tried explaining things to her over and over again. What should I do? I was at a loss. No one seemed to believe me. My only savior could have been the evidence of security cameras, but why didn't Rowan even have a single one? I looked through the tall glass windows, and I could see policemen stationed everywhere to prevent my escape. But, even if I escaped, where in the world would I go? The doorbell rang, and my heart jumped to my throat as I ran for it. It could be Rowan or anyone else… I would try to plead my case with whoever was outside the door. I rushed to open the door, and could feel my entire body freeze instantly. "Dad?” I felt my hands slipping down the edges of the door as I stared at the man in front of me. He blinked, giving me a

Chapter 105A Long Standing Promise.Oliver."Did you bring them?" I asked Kelly in a hushed whisper, scared of being overheard by Wilder in the next room.Kelly eyed me warily and shook her head. "Bring what?""The corals? Shells? Seaweeds?"I asked her.She breathed out heavily. "I brought them on my own accord. I figured that I could convince Lilian to use it so she can save her life."Convince Lilian? I laughed inwardly at that thought. Lilian wouldn't hurt the child in her womb no matter what. I stared at the innocence on my sister's face. She really had not seen the world we lived in, if not, she would be smarter than this by now."She doesn't have to know." I whispered to Kelly and dipped my finger into the bag she held, bringing out the items from her bag. I welcomed the feeling of the hard but smooth corals against my palm. I missed the ocean. It had been more than twenty-five years since I last saw the ocean. Ever since that incident, I avoided anything that would bring me c

Chapter 104You Belong To MeLilian De Santus.The drive to the manor was silent, and it brought back memories of the first time we were headed there from the pack. The drive was long, just like it was now...it took several hours before we reached the manor. All I could do was try to sleep until we got there, but sleep wasn't coming. I tried distracting myself from the current turn of events and focusing on something else, but there was nothing that could relax my fraying nerves.When we got to the last turn, I breathed out a sigh of relief as the huge and looming manor came into view. It was a little after dawn and the building was quite visible. I stretched in my seat a little, waking Kelly up from her deep slumber."Are we there yet?" She asked groggily as she blinked, looking around her."Yes," I murmured to her and watched as the gates opened on their own for the car to pass through. It made me wonder how this was possible because it could have passed as magic, but something told

Chapter 103A BountyLilian De Santus."Kelly?" Oliver's incredulous voice reached my ears as she stared at her sister in awe. "I've been trying to reach you, but you kind of disappeared from the face of the earth." She sounded so relieved to see her sister which felt weird to me.I nodded towards Daemon who didn't spare me a glance as he stared at the car in front of us, obviously looking to see if Wilder would come out."Where is he?" He asked Oliver, gesturing to the car.Oliver rolled her eyes and shook her head. "We saw that Shape-shifter that looked like you, and he doesn't want to believe that you are you, and not a Shape-shifter." Then she shrugged. "Whatever that means..."Daemon sighed heavily and made his way to his car, and I stood by Kelly's car watching him retrieve Wilder."Lilian, hey..." I heard a calm voice beside me, and I recognized it instantly as Kelly's voice."Kelly, hey." I forced out a smile. "It has been a while. You left immediately after we came to the pa

Chapter 102May Not Be Him.Lilian De Santus."WILDER!!!" Oliver and I dashed forward to hold him from falling over."What is the matter, Wilder? You've been looking off these days. You're not—""He hasn't been feeding." Daemon said plainly and turned away from his friend, there was a faraway look in his eyes. "He made a stupid promise to someone not to feed, and look what is happening to him."His eyes flew over the living room where all the warriors and Alphas were calmly seated on the couches or the floor. Wilder had compelled them to do so before almost passing out. Oliver was behind him in a second and she pulled the sleeves of her shirt back and placed her wrists towards his mouth.Wilder turned away instantly as if disgusted and Daemon just shook his head and went up the stairs. I assumed he was going to pack. He hadn't spared me a single glance since everyone was on the ground, and I didn't know what to feel. I didn't know what he was thinking, and I didn't know why I even car

Chapter 101Time Is Up.Lilian De Santus.The temperature of the room dropped until you could feel the chills that came from one entity in the room. My heart dropped when Daemon turned to face Wilder and me, his irises were slowly changing colours to the pitch black eyes of his wolf."What. Did. You. Say?" The calmness in his voice was so unnerving that even the warriors felt it."Daemon! Daemon! I can explain..." I tried to pacify him, but he wasn't listening."Lilian, what do you think you're playing at?" Behind me, Wilder shook me in fear. He was scared of Daemon?"Look here... It doesn't matter if you are pregnant for the predator or the vampire, you simply can't and shouldn't birth a child!" Alpha Ryker continued after he tried to wave off the immense pressure that was building around Daemon's tall frame. "You have to come with us so we can take care of it."Take care of it? No, that didn't sound right. What was their plan?"She wouldn't be going anywhere, Ryker. None of them wil

Chapter 100For Wilder.Lilian De SantusIt was late in the middle of the night when I turned over due to some disturbances. I reached out to the bedside lamp and flicked it on, rubbing my eyes in the process. I listened closely to hear where the disturbance came from, and I realized it came from downstairs.There were muffled voices, and I couldn't pick up a particular scent down there."I swear to the goddess, if it is Oliver again…" I swore under my breath and padded out of my room towards the stairs."It's really late, Alpha Nowel. Whatever it is you have to say, I hope it's worth our while!” I heard my mate's annoyed voice, and I frowned slightly at the mention of the Alpha's name.What was going on? The night was really dark, and everywhere was quiet."I know.” Alpha Nowel answered. “But one of your people was being attacked this morning and is currently receiving treatment at the pack hospital.”“Oliver or Hailey?” My mate asked; the anger in his voice was toned down now."Hail
