로그인Author's POVHarper was in his late forties while Jessica was still in her early twenties. Even that night when he had slept with her, he had never pictured a life with a younger woman like her.He had believed it was only going to be for that night.Just that night.But now she was pregnant. And with that came a responsibility he had not prepared himself for. His wife had died without giving him an heir. He had spent so many years buried in building his pack that he never made time to fall in love or get married again.But now the opportunity was standing right at his door and he couldn't say he was entirely unhappy about it. Yet there were so many things he knew he had to consider carefully. She was the daughter of Alpha Aiden and that alone was a problem that was not going to disappear simply because he decided to accept the child.Alpha Aiden had attacked Nightwing pack. Every Alpha in this region knew that. And being seen standing beside his daughter at the Eclipse Festival was g
Celine's POVI slowly opened my eyes to the brightness shining through the curtains. Forcing my eyes open, I realized it was Anna standing at the window with a smile on her face."Good morning Luna," she greeted. I grunted and forced myself back into the bed with sheer exhaustion."The Alpha asked that you get ready. He is waiting for you downstairs.""Urgh. I am so exhausted. I want to sleep a little more.""I am afraid not Luna. He insists that you must come downstairs right now." She spoke politely. I shut my eyes and when I forced them open again, I knew that I couldn't escape what was waiting for me today."I have prepared your bathing water. You should go ahead and have your bath Luna."Just then the door swung open and Kalina walked in like it was her own room."You do realize that I am the Luna and you should show some respect!""Apologies. I was in a hurry to share the news with you.""News. What are you talking about?" All the exhaustion had faded away immediately. I sat upr
Kade's POVRowan placed the glass of cocktail back on the counter as he stared at me like he badly wanted to see through me, to know exactly what was going on in my mind."What is it Alpha?""You are sure that it was her blood that healed me, right?""Yes Alpha. And it was that same blood that was used to cure the curse on her. I still do not understand what is supposed to be lethal about it.""What if, just what if, there is more to it than we fully understand.""I don't understand. What are you talking about Alpha?""It's nothing. I just came up with the right plan." I patted his shoulder and rose to my feet. "Let us go back. Right now I think I will actually be able to get some sleep, knowing fully well that I will mark her and make her mine.""And do you care to share with me how you intend to do that?""The same way I always have. If she could cure me from something as lethal as the silver garden poison, then she should be able to cure me of this too."I told him as I started wal
Kade's POVAs I stepped out of the chamber, I went straight to the guest room. I wanted to have some rest there. That way I could be fully prepared for tomorrow. But how could I after what happened tonight.I stepped back out of the room and went straight to the bar. As soon as the bartender saw me, he quickly rushed to my side and lowered his head."Alpha." He called and bowed. "You need something?" Even when he asked, he didn't dare raise his head to look at me, like he already knew exactly what I was going through and didn't want to risk offending me."Pour me a glass of wine." I commanded. But as he stepped away from me, he didn't just pour the wine. He had gone ahead and dismissed every single person in the bar first.He didn't need to say it twice. My presence alone and the aura that came with my anger and confusion had made it very clear to all of them that I wanted to be alone.After he poured the first glass and I gulped it down, that was when I concluded in my mind that it w
Celine POV:I could not fathom what had happened just earlier, but I knew fully well that something did happen. And whatever it was, it had a clear effect on him.Yet I still had this urge. A very strong urge to protect this man like he was everything I was working for.I wrapped my arms around his neck and finally stared at him, my nipples still hard and pointing right at him. "We already talked about this before and I already promised you that once I find everything, I will let you know.""Find what exactly? What are you talking about?""I really do not have much knowledge about my identity, but I plan to find out more. And as soon as I do, I can assure you that I will tell you everything. Please just give me some time for now."I asked it of him, my body strongly pulling me to lean closer and kiss him. But I knew it was not right. Not now. Especially since I could not tell if he was fully himself right now.He stared at me for a long moment. Not with frustration. Not with impatienc
Kade POV:I had my fingers deep inside her, my entire body was rigid and I was having the best time of my life. But something had immediately happened to me.Something that I never thought could ever happen unfolded right at that moment. My heart slowly became heavy. I was consumed with a yearning for Celine.She was right here with me, but she had suddenly become a drug. A drug that I would never get tired of."Mate!" A voice suddenly spoke. It was my wolf. But how was that possible. My wolf had not spoken to me since the cruise. The beast had taken over and made it difficult to communicate with my wolf.I could not fathom what was happening. How my wolf could override the beast, and the fact that he had addressed Celine as my mate, knowing fully well that she was not my mate.But I did not even have time to think about that, because he had slowly begun to push forward, fighting very hard to take control.I was trying to stop him, but I could tell that my effort was useless. Soon he
Celine's pov:As Damien and I sat at the same table, Damien kept pecking glances at me, but his eyes were cold and filled with questions, yet I didn't care about any of it. My eyes kept flickering around, searching for Kade, but he was nowhere to be found. “Here, have some drinks?” I had been too
Celine's povThe rest of the day went very smoothly, I barely had one square meal which was practically nothing because father had given me the sketches to keep myself busy. “This is your own way of helping the pack that fed and clothed you for years even though you were nothing”He would always s
Kade's pov:“I will go and fetch her right now” Jessica lowered her head as he spoke, slowly she took a few steps and started walking towards the door. I didn't have the luxury of time to wait for her, so I followed right behind her.“Where are we going?” I asked, after we had walked a while and I
Celine's pov Once I was away from Alpha Kade's pack house, I let out a long breath. Even in my previous life, I had stories about his pack house; it was so scary that no girl ever wanted to mingle with him. But staring at it now. It didn't seem that scary; maybe the rumors aren't true, but there
