Thank you so much for your comments. don't worry, I won't just end this story first. I'll find a way to finish it properly and in the mean time, will work on starting a sequel. i haven't thought of an ending yet, so it won't happen in the near future probably. I skipped ahead, a bit. but just because I wanted to share Charlotte's struggle.
Charlotte’s pov “Eddie, please. Just come with us.” I asked, hoping my brother would join us for Kate’s first birthday party. He already skipped going to the pack three weeks ago, when my dad went to see Samira. It’s like he’s suddenly becoming a teenager, one of those teenagers that hates everything and only wants to be alone and stare at his phone. “It’s Ward now. Not Eddie. Eddie is a child’s name. I’m going to be eighteen in two years.” Eddie said annoyed. I rolled my eyes, “fine, ‘Ward.’ Just come with us. I know Lily misses you and you haven’t seen Alpha Osiris in more than a year.” Eddie shrugged. “You mean Ward shrugged.” Erica said. Whatever, Ward shrugged and didn’t answer me. He walked out, but not before giving Amelia a hug. Even if he was a bratty teenagers now and taller than me, he was still good with his favorite niece. It gave me hope to see he still treated my little girl the same. Eros would stay behind and I would go with Eddie and Amelia to the Iron River pa
Osiris’ pov “Could you do that thing you do? You know, that makes people talk?” Lily asked when we were getting ready to bed. “You mean torture them? I thought we stopped torturing people.” I replied. Lily started to laugh and put her hands over her forehead. “O my goddess. No Os. No.” She laughed so hard, she had to take a break before talking again. When she finally stopped and took a deep breath, she asked me what she had really meant. “O my Goddess. That was funny. So no, everyone at dinner was so awkward. Eddie or Ward was so weird and dad looked a bit depressed. Charlotte was sad too, but I already know why. Could you maybe talk to them or whatever you did last time? Anything to make them open up to you and be normal again.” I shrugged, “I can try. But I have no idea if Eddie even wants to talk to me.” Lily stood on her toes and gave me a kiss, “thank you. Maybe he feels better opening up to you. And dad too. Maybe something is going on with Samira?” “So now we’re playin
Osiris’ pov One down, one to go. Apparently I did have a way of making people talk. Without torture. “Don’t make a habit out of it,” Santos joked. "I like it better when we do torture people. all this talking is boring." I took Edward towards the farm with Wolf. I needed to see Cyrus anyway, because we had decided to combine Leia’s and Kate’s birthday into one big kid party. The drive over Edward was staring out of his window, sighing heavily. “So what is going on?” I asked, not a fan of beating around the bush. “Nothing, I’m fine, Osiris.” Alpha Edward answered. “No disrespect, but you and your son are very similar. Eddie said the same thing and was lying too.” Edward growled, “fine. I am not okay. But I will be. It’s just stuff with Samira.” I shrugged, “so tell me. I don’t mind.” Edward sighed, loudly. “it’s like we’re stuck in the same place. She doesn’t want to meet my family, she doesn’t want to come to my pack. It’s all coming from me and there is no effort on her part.
Charlotte’s pov I had spoken with Lily about the whole thing, but I still felt sad. No amount of talking would get rid of this feeling of failure. If there was something wrong with me, I’d rather just know and then I could accept that another child wasn’t possible. But this limbo, where the doctors thought everything was fine, yet I didn’t get pregnant. This was horrible. They always make jokes how much fun ‘trying’ for a baby is, but in reality it is insanely stressful. Lily had invited us all to watch a movie together, but I just wanted to sleep. I took Amelia up stairs after dinner and brought her to the kids room. Lily had put an extra mattress in the kids room, so Amelia could stay there with her cousins. It was like a slumber party. It took a while, but I finally got her to bed and I went to my room. “I’m sorry Charlotte.” Eros voice said through the mindlink. “Why are you sorry?” I asked. “For not realizing how much stress you are under. It can’t be easy trying for a baby.
Lily’s pov “Hey Eros, Mei!” I said surprised to see them. “I decided to surprise Charlotte,” Beta Eros said, reminding me how much I preferred him over Gabriel. “She is up stairs in her room. We are going to watch a movie. Mei, you want to join us?” Mei looked a bit nervous for some reason, but Tao nodded and called her to sit next to him. Eros went upstairs, while we were all waiting for Osiris and Eddie to come back with some popcorn and snacks. When they came back, Eddie seemed to blush when he saw Mei. Osiris gave me a look. “What did that look mean?” I mindlinked him. “I am sworn to secrecy. But just watch your brother closely.” I knew I could get Osiris to tell me the secret, whatever it was. But I found it really cute, that Eddie trusted Osiris. I didn’t mind not knowing everything. Osiris took a seat next to me and the only other seat left was next to Mei. Mei and Eddie both looked very uncomfortable and when Eddie sat down, he apologized softly. “There is something
Mei’s pov Eddie walked towards me and put his hands on my face, cupping my cheeks. “Hey beautiful,” he said and he kissed me. I didn’t push him away, instead I kissed him back. My tongue playing with his. Eddie lifted me up from the floor and I put my legs around him. Goddess, he felt so good. The way he kissed, the way he pressed himself against me. He pressed his bulge against me, letting me know he was feeling the same way I was. Why was my cheek wet? Was I crying? I woke up. Shit, I had a dream about Eddie. Shit, I was leaning against Eddie! And I had even drooled on him, because my cheek was wet and so was his shirt. Shit, shit, shit. I didn’t like Eddie. I couldn’t like Eddie. Not only was he family in a weird sort of way, he also was the next Alpha in line. I had no desire to be Luna of their pack. When I was eighteen I would go back to Singapore and I would start my life there. I had always planned on going back, although it was getting harder. At first I was angry at Ch
Ela’s pov “That smells so good that I don’t know whether to eat you or whatever you’re baking.” Easton said from the other room. Ariel looked at me mortified. “Ariel is here, Easton.” I mindlinked Easton, laughing loudly. Easton came out, apologizing to a very red Ariel. “I am so sorry. I didn’t hear you and that smell of whatever you’re baking was too strong for me to smell your scent. Sorry!” Ariel looked a bit shy, but I knew she and Troy were living together and doing probably the same things me and Easton were. She had really changed since living with Troy. She was more confident, she shared more and she looked happy. “It’s fine,” Ariel finally said, “I wanted to bring some cookies to Luna Lily anyway. You enjoy whatever you decide to eat.” I almost chocked on the cookie I was eating and laughed loudly, while Easton just stared in shock at the once timid Ariel. When Ariel left, Easton shook his head. “You have some weird friends, Sweets. Talia shares everything and now shy
Ariel’s pov I loved Ela’s enthusiasm, but I was in no hurry to open any business. I never thought I would be able to go to school, to live with my boyfriend and to have a normal life. I sometimes still felt like I didn’t deserve it, but Samantha was always there to tell me otherwise. “Hell yeah, I am. You deserve every good thing you’re getting and more, Cherry.” I pinched myself often, never in my wildest dreams would I have this life. My dad made me think I would die young and Beta Tyrion made me think I would only experience pain in this lifetime. But waking up next to Troy was the best feeling ever. I have never felt so loved before. “Okay enough with the summary of our lives. Let’s get back to what you were doing, Boo.” Samantha said. I had spoken to Luna Angelina at Kate and Leia’s party. I was really surprised to see her there and it reminded me of my time there. Of how I tried to help her and Alpha Jayden. But also how I helped Beta Tyrion while they were locked up. Those
