LOGINDad looked down at the glowing caller ID on the screen, then looked back up at me with a serious expression. I stared right back at him for a second, taking a deep breath before picking up the call and sliding the green icon to answer.“Tesia, I hope I am not interrupting anything important for you,” she said the exact moment the call connected.“Hi, Mother. No, you are good. How are you doing?”“You know, the same old things around here. I just really miss my granddaughter. Is she awake?”“I know you miss her, but Amie just fell asleep a few minutes ago.”“Alright. It was really her joyful little voice I wanted to hear today, but tell me, are you really coming back here?”“Before this week ends, Mother. I have a major business to manage over there—a family friend's business. My father's friend,” I lied, swallowing hard against the heavy lump that naturally formed in my throat every single time I had to make up these stories.“Well, I am so happy to hear that. At least Amie can finall
It was not that I was surprised to see the message. In fact, I had not slept in days just waiting for that exact text to come in, and now that it finally hit my screen, I only cared about finding the best way to make sure the entire plan worked out smoothly.I carefully got out of bed, holding my breath in the dark. The chances of William waking up and catching me were practically zero anyway, considering I had secretly knocked him out cold earlier.I succeeded in my move. I did not take a single thing from the room—not my bank cards, not my bag, and not even my identity documents. None of those human papers were needed for where I was going. Only my cellphone was in my hand.When I stepped outside into the chilly night air, the getaway car was already sitting there, idling and waiting for me. I got into the back seat without hesitation, and we drove off quickly into the darkness.Of course, we made a quick stop along the way to drop off the bloody clothes to set up the illusion, but
Two Years Later.Tesia.“Oh baby, so sorry, okay, here…”I softly gave Amie my breast just as she was about to let out a loud wail, and that simple motion instantly stopped her.She reached up with her small hands and held onto my breast tight, pulling herself close to me. She sucked so happily, and as I looked down at her small face, I saw a tiny, sweet smile form at the corners of her mouth.I reached out my hand and gently removed a tiny crust from the corner of her eye. When she closed her eyes, she looked so much like her father. The resemblance was uncanny, instantly reminding me of him. I truly, really did not want to think about him right now, especially not while holding my baby.“Tesia,” Dad called my name from the doorway, and I snapped right out of my deep thoughts.“Your gym instructor is here,” he told me, standing by the frame.I nodded at him, then looked back down at my Amie. She was fast asleep already. Even at two years old, she still fell asleep so fast the second
I am not losing my mind. I know I am definitely not losing my mind. Even back when Tesia and I were actually together, we never used to text back and forth like this. What on earth was all of this? Since when did the two of us suddenly become daily chat buddies?As I kept scrolling down through our text message history from last night, my thumb shaking slightly against the glass screen, it even showed that I was the one who texted her first.According to these messages, I asked her if she was truly going through with marrying William today. I told her in plain text that I was deeply hurt inside and that I could not be with her kind because my pack would never accept it. I wrote that the royal throne would simply never allow it.In other words, I basically told her straight up that I loved her, but the royal throne would not allow us to be together. Which was complete, absolute bullshit.We went back and forth chatting for hours. She replied telling me that she did not really want Will
What made William think those little powers of his could actually end an Alpha King?I was not just a regular werewolf. I was cooked to perfection in terms of strength and battle power, and the dark witch powers he possessed were literally placed inside of me. He could try to fight me with all the magic he wanted, and frankly, it would do absolutely no harm to me.“William, please, what on earth is going on?” Lily asked, her voice cracking as she panicked. She took a timid step toward her brother, holding her hands up. “Could you please just calm down and tell us what is going on?”“This bastard knows exactly what is going on, Lily!” William snapped back, his eyes fixed on me like a predator. “And he is going to tell me right now where my wife is.”“Y-your wife?” Lily repeated, her mouth hanging open in complete confusion. “You and Tesia got married?!”She was confused, and to be completely honest, I was too.Hearing that single word ‘wife’ kind of pierced straight through my chest li
Drake.It had been a few days since that completely failed dinner, and of course, I had made sure that the witch I visited paid dearly for not blocking William from seeing the truth.She was supposed to be a powerful witch, was she not? Was she not supposed to see things like this coming from a mile away instead of letting a guy walk right over us?Like, she easily could have stopped William from showing up at my house or something, instead of letting his newfound powers get ahead of him and ruin my entire plan.When I confronted her, that witch was just talking complete nonsense. She claimed that she could not stop William even if she had wanted to, because William’s magic was far stronger than hers. Hearing that made no sense to me at all.Either way, she was currently locked tight in my dungeon as we speak. No one gets away with fooling me and making a complete mockery of the Alpha King.That witch was genuinely powerful—she had her own dedicated temple, and she had even claimed to
