"Look..Look..."Finn cried."Samantha?"Manuel spoke up "Doctor!she's awake!she's awake!"I heard him calling out.The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the intense glare of the overhead lightning.I raised my hand to cover my eyes until my eyes adjusted to the light.When the doctor were done with their tests and my vitals were checked,I watched the relief on all their faces.From Micheal and a beautiful female who was glued to his side.I couldn't hide the smile that crept up on my face which he returned with a boyish grin.My kids ran up to me.And with Manuel's help I was able to get them all on my bed.I was seated with my unbelievably huge belly inbetween my thighs.I had been told that I was asleep for over five months and that there had been any sort of hope of me recovering. And that it was a Miracle that I had survived even
MANUEL'S POV We had come a long way.There was a lot of past behind us.I recalled all the moments I feared we wouldn't make it last. ***FLASHBACK*** How long will you keep up this act?"I asked. "Am sorry,what act?"She asked feigning innocence. I groaned in frustration. "You do not know what I went through there.They helped me and I couldn't just let your jealously get the best of you and have you laying baseless accusations against someone that had done absolutely nothing to you"I spoke. I watched as her expression changed with each word I spoke. "Jealousy? Baseless accusations?"she repeated. I groaned out. "You know that's not what I meant by that.I just..." She turned to walk away.My hand snaked out to grip her arm. "Manuel,let me go."She told me trying to struggle out of my grasp. "Don't walk away from me when am talking to you."I warned holding her tighter. "Manuel,let me go!"She cried. I saw tears pooled around her eyes as she struggled to break free. I dragged her
SAMANTHA POVMy mind trailed back to all the seasons in our lives that seemed difficult that we never imagined we would scale through but we did.And I was eternally grateful to having the fate to meet Manuel in my life.He was indeed a blessing in my life.We had fought multiple times.***FLASHBACK***"There is no way that I will have a relationship in secret and I will never stand here and watch as other men sniff after what's mine"He told me grimly ."I'm not an object!"I shouted.He arched a brow at me."No matter what you do now,you can't take it back.You're mine"he stated matter of factly."You're not saying that you love me but that I need to stay with you forever "I said."You're mated to me now.No man would be foolish enough to come close to you not when you belong to me now."he said,pulling on his pants.I opened my mouth to speak but we were interrupted by the soft knock on the door."Mommy!"Nova's voice called out.I wrapped my robe tighter around my body.Walking

"Yes she is darling."He responded."Its amazing. Were we really this tiny too when we were little?"Finn added. My heart filled with joy looking at my family.

SAMANTHA'S POVI groaned as the sun rays shone straight through the sheer fabric of my curtain.I got out of bed at the sound of my mother's voice."Samantha!"My mother called out again."coming!"I called back.I rushed into the bathroom to get ready for the day.Trudging down the stair case I met my mum who wore a stern expression on her face which meant that she was really angry now."What took you so long?"My mother asked as she pivoted down the stairs to the kitchen."I was getting ready"I responded.Walking into the kitchen,I saw my elder sister, Maeve chomping down a plate of steak and chugging down a glass of juice with it."Hi sis"I greeted.All I got in response was silence.Maeve ignored me and focused on the plate in front of her.My mum who was oblivious to the exchange between us,walked to the kitchen aisle pulling out pots and pans frantically searching for something. Shaking away the sad feeling, I proceeded to help my mother."Mum,what are you looking for?"I
MANUEL'S POV Shifting my weight onto my shoulder, I turned to see a beautiful mass of brunette hair splayed onto the pillow next to me. Abruptly, I shot up straight as I took notice of my surroundings. My vision blurred as the images of the night came flooding into my mind. Throwing off the duvet, I went around the room in search of my phone which I hoped would provide some answers as to why I had come here. It was a brothel for goodness sake. Locating my phone triumphantly I went through my call logs but was interrupted when the lady in my bed turned giving me a full view of her face without being shrouded in her hair.The memories came to me now. I had drunk my way into the brothel last night after I had discovered that there was a traitor in my pack. I was yet to find out who but the mere thought of my men betraying me had sent me spiraling. I had drunk myself into a stupor to forget and had gone against my inner inhibitions about a place like this and decided to have fun.I ha
SAMANTHA'S POVAs I tried to make sense of what had transpired all but a few moments ago, my thoughts wandered to Maeve. How could I have completely forgotten about her? Was I insane?Not only had I given my virginity to a strange yet sexy man but I had forgotten my sister. I asked myself If I was truly insane.was I?That remained up for verdict but I had to get out of this room. It felt so serene and cold that being alone in here felt eerie. Tossing the wad of cash that the stranger had arrogantly thrown to me like I was some prostitute onto the bedside table, I got into my jeans.The sharp pain between my legs reminded me of the numerous times he had rammed into me. He had been insatiable. Glancing around the room for an exit point, I headed to the bathroom to wash away all the grime and sweat that had stuck to my body.Looking at the mirror I noticed all the bite marks and scars where he had nibbled and held so tightly. Ashamed now, I hopped into the shower, willing the though
MANUEL'S POVThroughout last night, my thoughts had been filled with her. From my waking thoughts to my dreams, her soft moans, her beautiful hair, the way her body fit so perfectly with mine. I buried myself into work, it was all I could do to not go insane from thoughts of her.We had issues regarding the pack's security system and who better than to reach out to the pack's leading man in all things hacking, which was Micheal?He didn't hold a very high position in the pack but he was one loyal friend I could turn to whenever the situation got this bad. Glancing back at the stack of unopened folder files detailing the rivalry and the issues caused by the opposing pack, the Bloodhound pack, I let out a sigh as I signed off on it. Delegating the matter to the head of command, Jonathan. We were not close but we had a good working relationship.After much deliberation, I decided to go over to see Micheal. We had discussed matters over the phone but had been keen to leave vital de
