Tulip's POV. Tonight was when I would lose my virginity to Damian, my boyfriend, my mate. He had been patient enough to wait ever since our mating ceremony, and I made a secret deal that when I get the approval to be a Coach to Hockey Dreamers players, I shall be ready for sex. I applied the red lipstick on my lips, ensuring I was good to go in the mirror before exiting the dorm room. I was locking up when; "And where is the nerd going, dressed like this?" I heard the voice of Xavier Grey, my childhood bully and Damian's cousin who was also his greatest rival. Those two never saw eye to eye; otherwise, it would be war, and sadly, Xavier always won. We all went to the same college and are in our final year. Damian and I both made an application to Nevermore, Sports Academy. Damian wanted to join the Hockey Dreamers Team, while I wanted to be one of the Coaches. And as for Xavier? I had no idea what his plans after college were, perhaps to take over his father's pack? I waved the thought off my mind, afterall I didn't care to know. "What do you want Xavier?" I turned to ask him, noticing he had dyed his black hair red, and surprisingly, he looked hot. "Just answer me." He licked his lower pink lips and I noticed a piercing on it. 'Fuck!' I cursed within as I also noticed the tattoos sneaking up his arms. Did this dude have a makeover or what? I was a sucker for men with tattoos and piercings. Damian planned to get one once he got accepted into Nevermore. Since I had gotten my acceptance letter, he should have too, which was why I was going to his place, so we could celebrate together and end up in bed. “I almost can't wait.” My wolf, Leslie, whimpered in excitement. A smile crossed my lips at the thought of him finally thrusting in me. "Earth to Tulip." Xavier snapped his fingers in my face and I frowned at him. How dare he interrupt my thoughts? I just ignored him and made to walk past when he grabbed me by my arm, turning me to face him. A shiver ran down my spine as I stared into his red eyes. "You didn't answer my question." He reminded me as if I had forgotten. "Because it's none of your business." I snatched my arm away from him and adjusted my bag on my shoulders. "But if you must know, I am going to fuck my boyfriend," I told him and his jaw tightened. I was expecting his usual rude remarks about Damian and was ready to put him in his place yet again but to my surprise, he just turned around and left. I didn't linger for long and left the building too. I hired a cab to Damian's apartment and found the door locked. Thankfully, I had a spare key and could wait for him at home. Perhaps he was out, it was also my fault for not informing him before coming. My phone died, and I was just too excited to wait for it to charge. I wanted to see my baby right away, to share the news. I opened the lock and shut the door behind me. I noticed the lights were on and furrowed my brows in confusion. 'Did Damian step out in a hurry and forget to switch them off?' I pondered but then shrugged and proceeded to unzip my bag, to bring out the lingerie I had bought with my savings. I was about to unzip my dress to put it on when I heard a loud moan. I froze, then turned to look at the huge TV on the wall. It wasn't on, so where did that noise come from? I heard another one and my heart skipped a beat as I began moving towards the bedroom where the sound seemed to be coming from. Was a friend of Damian borrowing his apartment? I questioned myself but just then, I picked up his alluring scent and headed towards his room. The door was left wide open, so I peeked in, and what I saw made my hand tremble. The lingerie dropped to the floor, and my lips parted in shock. "Damian." I wanted to scream but I choked, my voice suddenly disappearing as I watched my man eating the pussy of Malia Moore, my competitor in school. Malia had her tongue all over Damian's dick, her hands cupping his balls as she gulped his entire length, saliva dripping from the corner of her mouth. They were in a 69 position, and Damian even spanked her ass, so she let out another moan, throwing her head backwards, and that was when our eyes crossed. At first, her eyes widened in shock, but it disappeared as soon as it came, the side of her lips curling up into a smirk. Damian must have noticed she wasn't paying attention to his dick any longer, for he opened his eyes and when he saw me, he threw Malia off him and jumped out of the bed. "Baby, w-what a-are you doing here?" He stuttered, trying to cover himself with the duvet that was stained with his cum. I couldn't answer; my mouth felt too heavy as my eyes welled up in tears, my heart tightening in pain. This guy was supposed to be my mate. I had been waiting for this night so he could claim me and when he finally takes over his father's pack, I could be his luna!!! Damian tried coming closer to me while Malia relaxed on the bed, chuckling as she gave me her middle finger and a wink. I knew what that meant. She had won the bet. She promised me last month to screw Damian, and I vouched for him, putting my trust, which was now broken, at stake. “Let me take care of this piece of shit!” My wolf, Leslie growled but I stopped her from transforming. There was no need for that. "B-babe, please I can explain." Damian tried touching me but I slapped him hard on the face. “Explain the fact you were screwing her?” I asked, tears threatening to roll down my burning cheeks. “You know what, save yourself the stress of explaining. I Tulip Whitmore reject you Damian Grey as my mate.” I spat. “Baby common, it's just sex.” He shrugged. "Go to hell." I screamed. I ran out of the room, grabbed my bag, and left his apartment for the woods. I cried, yelling as I felt my wolf struggling to take over. I let out a howl, letting her take over. As I transformed, my claws hit the ground as I picked up my pace. I ran through the woods till it was fully dark and then shifted back, got dressed, and hailed a cab. "Where to, miss?" The driver asked, stretching a tissue toward me. Apparently, tears were still rolling down my cheeks. "Thank you. Any club please." I replied as I wiped my tears, lips quivering. How could Damian do this to me? After everything we had been through and all the promises we made to one another? I was sure going to get my revenge. I don't know how yet but it would be in a way that would crush both Malia and Damian. The blaring music from the speaker made my head ache but I endured and just moved to the bar. "Ten shots of Vodka, please," I ordered, and the barmen proceeded to do as asked. Five shots down my throat in less than a minute and it felt like hell as my throat burned, my heart aching. "Damn! You are drinking now?" I heard a familiar voice and turned to see Xavier, looking at me with his jaw dropped and then it hit me, it was him. Xavier was not only Damian's greatest rival but also Malia's crush. The same bitch sabotaged her friends, just to have a date with him. I don't know what she sees about him but I am about to find out. I licked my fingers and motioned for Xavier to come closer with them. He blinked repeatedly at me, like he wasn't sure I was the one. "Does Tulip have a twin now?" He questioned as he walked closer to me. I smiled, grabbed him by the collar, and sealed our lips together.Tulip’s PovIt had been a year since I gave birth to my son, Duke. Life felt lighter. Freed from villains, rivals, and fear, all I had now was family, love, and a sense of peace I never thought I would experience so fully. Duke was still sleeping peacefully in his crib, his tiny chest rising and falling with such innocence that my heart swelled with love.“Hey, Tulips, I just prepared your favorite meal. Please come join us at the dining table,” Xavier’s aunt called warmly from downstairs.“I’ll be with you all shortly, Aunt,” I replied, smiling. I watched Duke for a moment longer, brushing a soft strand of hair from his forehead. I whispered a gentle “good morning” to him, and he let out a tiny yawn as if he understood.Xavier’s family had truly become my home. They had embraced me from the very beginning, treating me as one of their own. Their warmth, laughter, and support made every day feel like a blessing. I often found myself thinking, what more could I ask for? Aside from the
Xavier’s PovWhen I got back from Eli’s place, I didn’t see Tulips in the house. The silence felt strange. At first, I thought maybe she went to Clara’s house, but when I called, she wasn’t there. That was when uneasiness settled in.Her phone was ringing with no response until I noticed it lying on the couch. My heart skipped. Tulips never left her phone behind. I felt confused and scared at the same time.“Where could she be?” I muttered, my voice low and shaky.I picked up her phone and noticed that the recorder was on. She was probably recording something. My hands trembled slightly as I opened her phone using her password. We knew each other’s passwords, and for some reason, I felt compelled to listen to the recording.To my greatest disbelief, she had recorded conversations with Danzo.“Danzo was here?” I said out loud as I continued listening. My anger slowly turned into rage.I grew more infuriated when I heard the location he took her to, which he mentioned to some guys who
Tulip’s PovI stood behind Xavier as he spoke to Danzo, my fingers clutching the edge of his shirt. My heart was racing so fast I was sure he could feel it through his back.I was scared, deeply scared, but for reasons I could not explain, I refused to let it show. Fear had no right to win tonight.“What could he possibly be doing here?” I muttered to myself. “And how did he even know we were staying in this villa as a family?”The questions crowded my mind, each one louder than the last. Nothing about this made sense. Danzo had been locked away. We had moved on. We had rebuilt our lives piece by piece. Yet here he was, standing right in front of our door like a ghost that refused to stay buried.I wanted to ask him everything. How he found us. Why he was here. What he really wanted. But something deep inside me told me to remain silent and let Xavier handle it.“I know you two may be wondering how I got here and why I am here,” Danzo finally spoke.The air went still. Even my breath
Xavier’s PovOne year later.“After your marriage you’ve been so distant,” Oliver said over the phone.“So Tulips finally took you away from me?” he added, and we both laughed.I laughed before replying. “I haven’t been distant, Oliver,” I replied calmly. “I’ve just been busy taking good care of my wife. She’s pregnant, remember?”“Oh, that’s true,” he said, sounding amused.“How about Amira?” I asked. “How’s your marriage been?”“Well, it’s been great as usual,” he replied. “She’s pregnant too.”“What?” I exclaimed, sitting up straight. “No way. Are you serious?”“Yeah, you heard me right, Xav,” he said, laughing.I laughed too, genuinely surprised. “Congratulations, man. You never told me. I honestly didn’t expect to hear that.”“Just like I didn’t expect to hear that Tulips was pregnant either,” he replied, and we both laughed again.“So we’re both expecting babies,” I said, still trying to process it.“It’s what it is,” he replied simply.“We really need to have a family dinner t
Tulip’s PovOne week later.“My valedictorian has finally woken up,” Clara teased as I slowly opened my eyes.“Will you ever get tired of that name? It’s been a week already,” I mumbled, still half-asleep.“No, not today and not tomorrow,” she replied firmly. “You deserve to be called that name always because you worked for it, girl. You earned it with every ounce of effort you put in.”I smiled softly, feeling the warmth of her words. “Thanks, Clara,” I said quietly. “Anyway, I’m starving.”“I woke up early and made your favorite meal,” she said cheerfully, her eyes sparkling as if she knew exactly how to lift my mood.I swung my legs off the bed and stretched, heading toward the kitchen. “I will miss you so much when you and Idris finally get married. The way you treat people, the care, the attention—it’s just too sweet. I’ll miss all that good treatment.”Clara smiled, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. “You can always come to our house when we get married. I will prepare al
Xavier’s PovFour months later.The graduation day was finally here.I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my graduating garment carefully, making sure it sat perfectly on my shoulders. I stared at my reflection for a moment longer than necessary, letting the reality sink in. College was officially over. All the sleepless nights, the stress, the exams, the moments of doubt, and even the victories had led to this day.“The graduation day is finally here,” I mumbled to myself, straightening my collar.Before I could dwell further on my thoughts, a gentle knock sounded on the door and my aunt walked in with a warm smile on her face.“It’s certainly going to be a great day for you, Xavier,” she said, her eyes scanning me from head to toe. “You look so handsome.”“Thanks, aunt,” I replied with a small smile. “You bought these shoes and suit for me, so you deserve appreciation too. Thank you.”I walked closer and hugged her tightly. She had always been there for me, supporting me in w
