Inside the delivery room, Lucy lay on the bed, a mix of fear and anticipation coursing through her veins. She clung to the hope that everything would be alright for both her and the baby. The medical team worked tirelessly, utilizing their expertise and skill to navigate the complications and ensure the best possible outcome.Lucy closed her eyes and took deep breaths, trying to remain as calm as possible amidst the whirlwind of emotions. She focused on the love she felt for her baby, sending positive thoughts and energy into the universe.As the moments turned into hours, Darren paced back and forth outside the delivery room, his worry refusing to subside. Each passing second felt like an eternity, and he yearned for any sign of good news.Finally, the door swung open, and the doctor stepped out, their face beaming with relief. Darren's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly approached the doctor, eager for an update."Darren, we have good news," the doctor said, their voice filled w
Two years had passed since the birth of their first child, and Darren found himself in the open fields with his young son. The little boy's name was Ethan, a name that held a special meaning to Darren and Lucy. It was a sunny day, with a gentle breeze rustling through the trees, as father and son embarked on a special lesson.Darren stood tall, his strong presence emanating confidence and love. He held a bow and arrow in his hands, patiently teaching Ethan the art of archery. With each step, Darren explained the importance of focus, discipline, and respect for the weapon they held.Ethan, his eyes filled with curiosity and excitement, eagerly listened to his father's guidance. He held a small bow, specially crafted for his size, and a quiver filled with harmless arrows. Darren's voice was gentle yet firm, as he demonstrated the proper stance and technique to his young apprentice."Remember, Ethan," Darren said, his voice filled with pride, "archery is not just about hitting the target
"Lina! Come back here, your father will not be happy to see you running around like this. Remember that you almost had an accident yesterday." Her mother shouted to her.Lina turned around and shouted back. "Common mother sheam not a kid anymore, for crying out loud sheam twenty and I can take care here of myself. Go back, I'll return as soon as the sun begins to set."Lucy would have loved to let her go but she was given strict rules by Darren to never let Lina out of her sight. She could not understand why Darren treated his daughter like a prisoner."Lina please for my sake just come back, else your father is going to be angry at you and I.""I am sorry mother but those words can not deceive me anymore. You are too old for Dad to scold you..She was still talking when she suddenly fell into a ditch.Lucy had no idea of what had happened to Lina because she was far away from her and she had a terrible eye problem.She shouted a few words to Lina but she did not get any reply from he
Alpha Darren's brows were knitted closely together as the car glided across the street. His face held the air of unpleasantness and it was obvious to every eyes that could see that their Alpha was not in a good mood, well, he never was in a good mood and that was why the people consistently clamored for a Luna. Yes, they loved their Alpha but being all strong and strict wasn't all they needed, they needed the soft touch of the Luna in the pack. Alpha Darren however did not care much about finding his mate because to him, he was doing well enough and if the moon goddess was unwilling to give his mate to him, he would just go for another woman and make her his Luna. But now he had just faced the elders of the pack and although none of them had dared to slam the issue in his face, it was clear that the people now desperately wanted their Luna.A leader belongs to his people and Alpha Darren was not exemption, if finding his mate so badly was what his people wanted, he was going to do t
"God" Lucy groaned. "I don't want to go to his party" She added and ran her hands down her dark voluminous hair.."Why are you like this? Every girl wants to go" Madeline, her best friend replied. "Then let every girl go over there. I can't turn out to be his mate anyways" she shrugged and settled onto the couch in the room. "You cannot say that, Lucy. You might just turn out lucky and..." Madeline stopped talking as she realized she had just referred to the forbidden situation as lucky."Lucky?" Lucy scoffed. Amongst the girls who drooled endlessly over their hot Alpha with the cold eyes, she was not among those girls, at least not anymore.Her own father had had his right middle finger chopped off by the Alpha a year ago because of a flimsy mistake that could have been overlooked. Just that single act done to her own family had ended all of her fantasies for the Alpha. Perhaps if this was two years ago, she would have been super excited to go to the party but not anymore, she h
Alpha Darren felt a part of him burn in excitement as he realized that he had finally found his mate. The moon goddess had probably gotten scared by his ultimatum and had decided to grant his wish as soon as possible or maybe it all would have worked out if he had held a party like this a long time ago. His gaze rested on the fiercely looking woman whose face slowly turned soft as she also realized that they had been made for each other, they were mates.The beta had let go of her and she was now standing on her own, her eyes also on him.Alpha Darren did not care if she was a strong wolf or as weak as an omega, he did not particularly need a strong mate, he had all the strength already, and though he wanted more, it was okay if it did not come from his mate. He just wanted her to be in the position of his Luna, to satisfy the people and further his goal of becoming the Alpha King in the nearest future. Their eyes had made contact and their eyes were locked on each other as none of
Time seemed to have frozen with the words that had come from Lucy's mouth. She had just done the unthinkable, she had just done what no one was expecting from her or from anyone else. She had plainly rejected the Alpha, a man that everyone wanted and she did not just reject him, she rejected him in public, in front of so many people. Many had their jaws wide open as they could not believe their eyes and ears. "Goodbye, Alpha Darren Stone" she bowed in front of him and ran off as fast as her legs could carry her. Darren was way too shocked to move. For the first time in long years, he seemed to have been completely shocked and caught off guard. How could he have been rejected by his mate?His gaze remained on her retreating figure as she ran her way through the sides of the mansion to get out as soon as possible. He was still speechless until she finally disappeared from his sight and the sight of the others in the mansion. Loud mumblings, mutterings and whisperings arose as soon
"There" Alpha Darren dropped his phone on the other sofa.He had his right leg crossed over his left. The anger on his face seemed to get even more with every single passing second. The fact that she had dared to even try running away after what she had done. His men had tried searching for her in her home which they had quickly figured out but it was discovered that she did not come back home. Yeah, Darren knew it would be stupid of her to go home but he was expecting her to be at least that stupid to make things easier for him. He could not wait to lay his hands on that woman. Lucy's father was in front of him, on his knees and Darren recognized him quite well. Her father was the head of a guard department until the last year when he had let his security be breached and Darren had been 'kind' enough to chop off just one of his fingers because Lucy's father had been working for him for long. "Your life is in the hands of your daughter now. Take a look at the clock. Once it's four
