LOGINSilver:"Father,” I uttered in tears.I was panicking ever since I got to the hotel.Elgin turned out to be a true bastard.He simply kicked me out and humiliated me in front of everyone, in front of that loser, good-for-nothing woman, Kaylee.And it all happened because of me. Because I gave him so much power. I made him feel wanted even when he wasn't."What is it?" my father asked.We were sitting across from each other in the coffee chairs, staring out the window at the empty road.My daughters had cried themselves to sleep, and I didn't even know how to comfort them."If only I had been honest," I began, rubbing my hands together. "If only I had been a good person. If I had, I would have seen right through Elgin when he mistreated Madeline because of me."I paused and gulped, realizing the kind of pain I had wanted for Madeline for no fucking reason over a man who could never belong to anyone."This is to show you something, my daughter. This is a great lesson. Sometimes what we
Madeline:"I heard your saliva can cure poisons," I said.Standing close to her felt strange, if I was being honest.I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but something about her felt different. Strange, yet not in a bad way.Maybe I was reading too much into it.After all, I was leaving my best friend in her care."It only works on visible, fresh injuries. Stab wounds, cuts, anything that leaves an open gash," she replied in a calm tone.The similarity between her voice and mine immediately caught my attention.Why the fuck did we sound so alike?Maybe nobody else noticed it, but I certainly did.I nodded."Your tears are special," she added.This time, I nodded again."They are," I replied. "But only when it comes to children."An awkward silence lingered between us.Maybe it was because I was a fucking grey wolf and she knew what kind of monster I was.I also noticed she had recently showered. There wasn't a trace of her scent left for me to pick up."My tears only work on children
Livia:I was already carrying a lot of guilt, and after listening to my mother's story, I felt even more emotional.We cried together for nearly an hour before I finally sniffled and took her hand, shifting forward in my seat across from her."I have to confess something," I said, finally able to speak without hiccuping.My mother listened attentively."The two people Father brought here—"I paused, took a deep breath, and forced myself to say it."They're father and daughter."As soon as the words left my mouth, my mother closed her eyes and smiled, looking almost relieved that a family had been reunited."It makes sense now, Mother. That's why he brought the father here. Daddy must have realized Gina wasn't related to us and that she needed her father."I smiled through my tears as I finally understood why he had never attacked me."So no, I won't call him a monster. I'll call him a hero. The hero saved—"My voice broke, and I pressed both hands against my chest.My mother nodded al
Livia:"Mother," I asked in a soft voice, "I am afraid to ask you but—did they hurt you?"She looked at me and slowly shook her head."No. Your father protected me before they took him away. I had passed out during everything that happened, but he made sure I was safe before they came back for him."By the time I woke up, I found out what they had done to him."My mother rubbed both hands over her face, trying to wipe away her tears."What happened then?" I asked.For a brief moment, she fell silent. Then a small smile appeared on her lips."Then I got pregnant."She gently touched my cheek, and I smiled back."Was it me?" I asked, pointing at my chest and she nodded."You and your two sisters."The moment she said that, my smile vanished."What?" I asked, my voice turning flat."It was a triplet pregnancy."Once again, her smile faded, and an uneasy feeling settled in my stomach."My two sisters–" I hesitated. "What happened to them?"My mother shrugged."I don't know," she mumbled,
Livia:"Then where is he now? Did he leave you? Was he one of the bad guys?"I bombarded her with questions because this was the first time she had ever spoken to me about my father.Each question only seemed to make her cry harder."No," she whimpered. "He was one of the good guys. The best."She smiled through her tears."But his life was very sad. He was a rogue, just like me. But he protected me. We hid in one of the caves and stayed there until the others left. That's when we felt our mate bond,” she smiled briefly when recalling meeting her mate."We were so happy together. The first few months were amazing. He would go out, work hard, and bring me food. For a while, I thought that was what life would always be like."Her voice suddenly hardened as her gaze drifted to the window.“He was even building a cabin on the rooftop.” Her smile faded."Until what?" I asked, reaching for her hand.Her entire body trembled."Until that full moon night. People found out I was hiding in the
Livia:I felt guilty too, especially after Daniel said all those things to me.He had never treated me that way before, nor had he ever looked at me with such disrespect.I knew it was all my fault, but what was I supposed to do?For the first time in my life, I had fallen in love with someone.I knew I was wrong, yet I just couldn't stop myself.At the time, only one thought kept running through my mind.What if the woman he had married wasn't worthy of him?Otherwise, how could she lose him like that?And not just him, but even her own daughter.I don't know what came over me then, but I convinced myself that she couldn't be a good mother.Otherwise, she wouldn't have lost them. In my mind, she didn't deserve them if she couldn't hold on to them.I took Gina home with me.By then, one thing was certain.I couldn't let Gina and him meet each other.Otherwise, it would create a huge problem."You're home already? I thought you'd be out for hours."My mother was speaking cheerfully whe
Madeline:“I’m sorry, but you cannot meet her. Only an Alpha or higher up is allowed inside her mansion,” the warrior informed me, blocking the entrance to Yuvonne’s mansion.I had come to see her. I wanted to check on her.Ever since she helped me, I had thought about her often. I was worried abou
Graham:The next call I made was to none other than Elgin.“Hello? What is it?” His voice sounded off, strained in a way that immediately caught my attention.I checked the time on my wristwatch. “Dude, are you okay?”A short pause followed. “No. Just tell me what it is.”My foot began tapping agai
Madeline:It took effort to face him. I drew in a few deep breaths before turning back and nodding once.I was furious that he had been sent here again. That he was even allowed near me.I said nothing and sat on the bench, pulling the files out. I shuffled the pages with stiff hands.“You must hav
Yuvonne:Just when I thought I was one step ahead, my world collapsed. Graham played the audio call between my mother and Sherry, along with everything I had said that night.It was overwhelming. I had nothing better to do, so I had run my mouth for hours, admitting my guilt and my crimes, endangeri
