Chapter: chapter 39Logan had left the hospital, to go get Christa her favorite ice cream, or at least that was what he told her. He just needed to get out of that hospital. He was tired of seeing to her needs, being at her beck and call, and he couldn't complain because everyone in the hospital looked at him as though he was responsible for her bruises, so he had to treat her well, so they'd quell such stupid thoughts. Hospitals annoyed him to no end. People who were beneath him thought they could order him around and tell him what to do. He pulled up to a fast food restaurant, eager to have some oily goodness in his body. He walked up to the counter. “Two large fries, a burger, and a cola.” He said to the kid at the counter. “Uh…” The boy stalled, his floppy hair leaking from his cap and blocking his view. He flipped his head repeatedly, trying to get his hair out of his eyes. “Would that be all, sir?” He spoke in the unhurried, monotone drawl that teenagers enjoyed talking with. It was like they

Chapter: chapter 38The funeral procession was over, and she remained seated where she was, her brother by her side. Her parents went into the crowd to thank the people who came. Some people walked up to Marybeth, patted her arm softly, and muttered gently, “So sorry for your loss. He was an amazing kid.” “Yes, he was. Thank you for coming.” she'd manage to mutter. Soon after everyone had left, they also left. In the limo, three pairs of eyes were watching her worriedly. All of them shared similar worries, was Marybeth going to be ok? The limo had not moved yet, it was still in the parking lot of the funeral home. “So, where to now?” Wayne asked Jael, who still had her eyes on Marybeth. “Where are we going now, Marybeth?” Jael asked her daughter gently. Marybeth, staring out the window the whole time, turned her head slowly to face them, “Huh? What do you mean?” “You haven’t told us what you want to do with your son’s ashes.” She explained, “Do you want to take it home with you or did you have som

Chapter: chapter 37The steady beeping of the monitor was the only sound that filled the room. Logan sat beside an unconscious Christa who lay on the bed, her head wrapped in a bandage and her right leg in a cast. There was a knock on the door and he turned around expectantly.“Doctor, good afternoon. So what’s the update?” He said in greeting to the doctor.“Good afternoon Mr Renfry. You’re the one who brought Miss Lance here?” The doctor asked, his tag read Sterling.“Yes, Doctor Sterling.”“I see, and how exactly did she get so hurt?” Sterling asked.“Well, sir, I had to leave for an event, but she didn’t want me to, so she rushed after me down the stairs, then slipped and fell,” Logan explained.“Really?” It was quite obvious that the doctor did not believe Logan’s version of events: “Well, we’ll wait for her to wake up, then we’ll see if her story collides with your story.”“Collaborates with my story? What happens if it doesn’t?” Logan asked, looking down his nose at the doctor.“We’d have to call

Chapter: chapter 36Wow, that dress fits you perfectly.” Jael commented.Marybeth was standing in front of a mirror staring at the black dress her mother had picked for her. She smoothed the dress with her hands. It was a formal ankle-length gown with lace long sleeves, with a hat with small netting that covered a portion of her face. Though the dress itself was something she would pick out for herself, the color would never make her look at it in a shop. Black was a color she despised. “That’s only because the person who chose it has an amazing fashion sense.” Was her reply.“Oh she does, does she?” Jael chuckled, “I remember when you were younger, a teenager to be exact, you refused to wear anything I picked out for you. I believe you called my sense of style ‘outdated’ and that ‘it made you want to jump off a bridge, into a river and drown’”“I said all that?” Jael nodded, “Wow, I most certainly was a dramatic kid then.” She let out a sad chuckle.“I know this is coming late but my dear Marybeth,” Ja

Chapter: chapter 35Over at the Renfrys, our dear Christa was plotting, again. Her mind raced with the possible ways she could delay Logan’s attending the ceremony. She wanted him to disappoint his wife and son because she was starting to feel he had forgotten his goal- to dumb that old maid wife of his and be with her. But that was why he had her, to remind him in the moments when he forgets that which he is meant to do.Dressed in an extremely short red gown, her hair falling in loose curls around her shoulders and her lips painted red and in a surly pout she set out to find him. She didn’t have to look far, for he was in the master bedroom trying to decide what he would wear.“Logan.” She called out to him softly, her body resting on the door, her figure posed in a seductive stance. But perhaps trying to pick a color was really taxing because it did not seem like he heard her.“Logan.” She tried again, this time a bit louder, yet still nothing. Frustrated but not discouraged, she padded closer to him

Chapter: chapter 34The house was just as magnificent as she remembered it. She pulled into the lot, and people were already waiting for her at the entrance. Her brother was one of them.“Bethy!” He called out, reaching to hug her as soon as she stepped out of the car.“Hi!” She greeted him as cheerfully as she could. But she was tired. She had been putting up a brave front back at the Renfrys’ and there was only so long she could be strong.“Now come in.” He ushered her inside, handing her keys over to one of the staff members, “Welcome sis, it has been a long time.”“Yes, it was about damn time you returned to your home.” A voice said at the entrance.It was a woman of average height, by her features, one could tell she was a beautiful woman, and not even age dampened said beauty; she had her face squeezed in a frown, arms akimbo as she stood at the entrance of the house.From the way everyone deferred to her, it was obvious she was the master of this home.“Mom,” Marybeth said in greeting, her voice f

I saw his eyes widen in shock, and I relaxed, perhaps he really didn't know anything about it after all. “She received a package of cookies from her ‘secret admirer’, but it was laced with wolfsbane.”“Is she alright?” He asked, and Bianca, still silent, rolled her eyes.“Yes, she is, thankfully I might add. Doc said if she'd eaten anymore it could have seriously harmed her.” I replied, my eyes trained on him as I watched Bianca from my peripheral vision.“Okay, so what do you want with me then?” He had a puzzled look on

I was so scared that we would be denied entry but he wasn’t. Jordan was a stable rock for me throughout our journey here.“You’re worrying again.” He said to me as he glanced at me.“I can't help it,” I muttered, my nails were under assault by my teeth and I couldn't stop.“You're going to run out of nails at this rate.” He said as he held my hands to stop me from biting them.“What if they don't let us in?” I finally asked the question that I knew was plaguing his mind as well.“That won't happen” He assured, “They never turn anyone away.”“Well, what if they've changed their policy or something?”“Well, if that happens, there's no need to worry, we j

Chapter: chapter 56The shower was divine and my bed was calling my name. How could I refuse? I collapsed onto the bed and sighed in satisfaction. “Aaaah,” I said out loud. I snuggled my head deeper into the pillow and got into a fetal position. Before long I was asleep. “She’s back already?” “That was quick. I wasn’t expecting her back till evening.” “You think she ran away? I mean I would. I hear their training is intense.” “Lilliana wouldn’t run away. So don’t say such nonsense.” “Why is she back then? That’s what I want to know.” “We’ll just ask her when she wakes up. Plus, can’t you see her knees are scraped? She definitely did something.” “Alright, fine. I’ll wait for her to wake up.” “It’s not like you have another choice.” They laughed. I drifted back to sleep. My eyes blinked awake, and I lay still on the bed. My body felt heavy like it was made of lead. “Lilliana?” Sarah asked, “Are you awake?” My mouth also felt heavy and dry, “Yeah. I’m awake.” My voice cracked, “Can you please

Sorry, I forgot I’m the only one who calls her that. Angelica.” He clarified. “Oh uh, yeah. That’s my name- Lilliana.” I nodded. “That’s too long.” He suddenly decided. “What? My name’s not too long.” I protested. “Yes, yes it is. It’s four syllables. I don’t have time to waste pronouncing a four-syllable name. You are Lil from now on.” He pointed at me. “Lil?” I was perplexed, “What on earth is Lil?” “You are, obviously.” “I am not answering to ‘Lil’.” “You act like you have a choice. Either you answer Lil or I keep calling you runt. But I am for sure not calling you Lilliana.” Confusion and horror were evident in my expression, I just knew it. “Oh, wipe that expression off your face, Lil,” He said dismissively, “You’ll get used to it.” “I don’t think I want to,” I responded. “We

Chapter: chapter 54I had been running for two hours. How? I had no freaking clue. I kept waiting for my body to just give up at any moment but it seemed we were still going strong. Pack warriors had started to come in for training, which meant it was 12 PM or probably past 12. I was having half a mind to just quit but then I saw Angelica and Dante, they were cheering for me on the side. The warriors had turned my running into a betting game. ‘How much longer would the runt last?’ That’s what they muttered to themselves as they placed bets. I was panting and sweaty, my legs were vibrating, and I was on the verge of giving up, but I didn’t want to give in, not yet. These people were judging me and making conclusions about me based on how well I could run. I did not want them to think I was weak. After a while, I could feel that my body could not take much longer. I tripped over a rock. How did that get there? And my body saw that as an invitation to just not do anything anymore. I tumbled to the floor,

Chapter: chapter 53I was the training grounds; it was a large open field with tall walls that set it apart from the rest of the pack. Off to one side was an official-looking building. I walked towards, still looking around me, hoping I would run into someone before I entered the said building, but sadly that wasn’t the case. The building looked much bigger now that I was closer to it. I knocked softly but there was no response. Steeling myself, I opened the door and was instantly greeted by the cold blast of air-conditioned air. The man seated at the reception hall looked up impatiently at me. “Training hours are at noon. No need for your fan-girling this early in the day.” Early? Dude, it was 10 AM, also fan-girling? What on earth was he talking about? I wasn’t here to be a fan-girl. “Oh, no, that’s not why I’m-” I began, “Listen, kid,” He said, frowning at me, “I don’t have time for whatever it is you’re trying to do today. As you can see, I am very busy. Now beat it.” He finished and made a ‘sho

I was pregnant with Dameon's kid.I took in a deep breath, walking out of the bathroom to where he sat on the bed,waiting in anticipation. He looked at me, eyes wide, searching for an answer within my expression.I teared up a bit, nodding, and within seconds he jumped up from the and crushed me against his chest. I hugged him back with all my strength, sniffling into his shirt as he kisses me all over my head,then my forehead, and then leaning down to my lips.I smiled as he pressed our foreheads together, his eyes wet and glistening with tears. "Really?" he asked softly.I nod. "You're going to be a father," i whispered softly to him, cupping his face in my hands.At my words, he buried his face in my neck, pulling me onto the bed.

He stepped closer, his hands on my waist, drawing me in slowly, giving me time to say no. But I didn’t want to. I never wanted anything more than this.He kissed me—deep, deliberate, and unhurried. His lips moved over mine like he had all the time in the world, like he was learning me all over again. I melted into him, fingers tangling in his hair, the heat between us blooming into something undeniable.He trailed kisses down my neck, each one slower than the last, until I was trembling in his arms.

It wasn’t rushed or careless; it was full of meaning, each movement deliberate, asking, Are you ready?And I was.We moved together to the bedroom, where he undressed me with a mix of awe and care. He took his time, like every inch of me was something precious. The cool air brushed my skin, but I was alre

I called his name around the house but there was no response. I started panicking wondering where he went. I rushed back to the bedroom to pick up my phone when I noticed a letter on the bed stand.

I read the content of the letter, he said he had a surprise waiting for me and that I should get ready as my friends were already on their way to the house to get me ready for the surprise.

What if she fell on his stomach, hurting the pup? So many horrible thoughts raced through my mind when suddenly a loud boom rang out. The omega and I were startled, both looking toward the door.
