THe afternoon dinner was already ready and Delilah was now behind Nathan to feed his lunch the same way she used to feed him in their previous pack. He was on his cycle and roaming the whole living room and she was running behind him with the plate to feed one morsel. In their previous pack, he used to run around their small room. Nathan was enjoying this meal with his mother."Nathan. It's been 5 minutes, I am holding this morsel in my hand. Come back." Delilah said while running behind Nathan's cycle."Mommy.. Catch me if you can.." he said, clearly in a playful mood. "Nathan. Don't challenge me, ok? You know, Mommy can run faster than your cycle." She said in a playful tone as she.Nathan started giggling and continued riding his bicycle and Delilah was almost trying to stop him when she heard Stephen's voice."Nathan. What's going on here?" Delilah stopped and Nathan too stopped his cycle looking at his father. He had not met his dad after he came back from school today. He got
Stephen had searched Nathan the whole house and when he wasn't found, he asked his mother if they had seen Nathan. She told him that Delilah had Nathan with her in the garden. He saw his sister sitting with her husband and talking sweetly with him. He hated to see Jonathan once again getting close to his family and especially to his sister. But he had no choice. He should have made his sister divorce and rejected him long back. It's not like he didn't try but she didn't agree. She never felt like breaking this relation and bond of hers with Jonathan and hence today Stephen had to bear this same person in his house and pack. He walked to them and then asked Ashley formally."Ashley, I forgot to ask you," he began, looking at her intently. "What time is the Anniversary party of Alpha Ryan's?" Ryan was his partner pack and their neighbor.Ashley was delighted to see her brother engaging in conversation with her. Despite his formal appearance, she was relieved he was talking rather than
ALPHA RYAN'S PACKAT THE PARTY Alpha Ryan had invited some selected guests for the Anniversary Party. Alpha Ryan is Stephen's Business partner in several firms from the past many years and hence these two packs had a good tie up. The party wasn't just for the adults. Many of the Guests here had got their kids too who were busy running here and there in the venue.Ashley was enjoying her mocktails when Jennifer walked up to her."Ashley? Did you see Damon?" Jennifer asked while looking around to look for her mate. Ashley smiled at her and nodded her head."Yeah. He is outside waiting for Stephen to come." She answered and Jennifer smiled at her."Ohh, okay."The moment she told this, Damon came inside and he looked happy. He saw Jennifer with Ashley at a corner and he walked to her."What happened, love? Why do you look so happy?" Jennifer asked with a small smile. Ashley is curious to know as well."Hey, Jennifer. Do you now what? Stephen is getting Delilah and the Nathan along. Isn'
ON WAY BACK TO CRYSTAL MOON MYSTERY PACK Nathan was lying on Delilah's lap as he was feeling sleepy. Delilah was sitting with Jennifer, Nathan behind and Damon was at the front besides Stephen driving."The party was truly delightful," Jennifer remarked to Delilah, a smile gracing her lips.Delilah returned the smile, her attention divided between Jennifer and patting Nathan, who was engrossed in a video game taught to him by Damon.Jennifer nodded in agreement, her gaze drifting towards Nathan. "It's wonderful to see Nathan having such a great time. Damon seems to be quite the gaming mentor."Damon chimed in with a playful grin, "Indeed, Jennifer. Luna Delilah's presence has added an extra spark to the evening. I must admit, your company was becoming a tad dull before."Laughter filled the air as the group shared light-hearted banter, the atmosphere glowing with camaraderie and enjoyment.Stephen parked the car inside and Damon got down to run from Jennifer's anger. She too got down
NEXT DAY, MORNINGWhen Delilah opened her eyes from her peaceful sleep just to see Nathan hugging her and sleeping calmly. She smiled and kissed Nathan's forehead who was almost waking up. She smiled at him and extended her hand for him to hold. He smiled and moved to Delilah to hug her and wish her Good Morning. She kissed her son, wishing him as well."Mommy.. Would you come to drop me at the school today?" Nathan asked in a sweet tone, melting her immediately on the spot.She nodded a yes and then took him out of the bed holding his hand."Brush your teeth and I will fetch your school clothes till then." Delilah said with a small before turning around to look for these clothes.Nathan rushed inside the bathroom to brush and Delilah was off to search Nathan's clothes. But where was Stephen? she thought. He wasn't inside the room. She drew the french door curtains open only to see her mate at the poolside doing his push ups.She stayed there for a few seconds trying to understand if
"Stephen was leaning on the recliner and remembering only one sentence " A family who protected me, supported me, loved me, cared for me and most importantly believed me. Unlike you."He fisted his fingers in anger and punched on the hard glass table which literally broke the glass into pieces making a loud sound, loud enough for the other family members to hear it. Ashley rushed inside Stephen's room and saw his fists bleeding, Some glass pieces pierced his fingers and yet she could see no pain on his face. She rushed to him and then made him sit on the recliner again.Ashley's voice cut through the air like a bolt of lightning, charged with a mix of disbelief and concern. "Stephen! Oh my God!" Her words hung heavy, the weight of worry evident in her tone as her eyes fell upon the scene before her. Stephen, his face contorted in anger, stood amidst shattered fragments of what used to be a cherished possession, the remnants of a vase that had seen better days.The room seemed to hol
"Ashley?" His voice held a touch of hesitation, a bridge between his thoughts and the atmosphere in the room. The name hung in the air, a call that was both a question and a connection.In response, Ashley entered the room, her presence a gentle intrusion that brought with it a sense of warmth and familiarity. The food plate in her hands seemed almost symbolic, a tangible offering of care amidst the intangible currents of emotions."This is Delilah's meal," Ashley explained, her tone a blend of practicality and consideration. Her actions spoke volumes as she placed the plate aside, an unspoken gesture of offering.Her question was soft and hopeful. "Would you like to be here or down with us?" Her gaze settled on Stephen, seeking his preference but also acknowledging the layers of emotions that might be hidden beneath his choice."Ask Lina to get my plate here," Stephen's response was direct, a request that carried an air of detachment. His words seemed to leave Ashley dissatisfied wit
"Your silence gave me my answer Stephen.. Your silence gave me my answer.. You could never do this with them. Because you love them. That was the only difference between them and I.. They have your love and trust with them. And I was devoid of both.. If you were not ready to share that Love which you have for them, then you shouldn't have married or mated with me." She said in a blank tone.Stephen didn't know what he needed to reply.. Whatever she told him today was so right.. But did he ever know that there were such pure souls in this world who can even think like this?? Who can shower their motherly love without any relationship??? His eyes were filled with tears and he knew if he would wait for some more time there, before her, he would break down.."Anyways.. So now.. I am still your wife. Alpha Stephen's mate and this pack's Luna. Let me be clear to you Stephen.. I don't have the guts to stay in this house and pack once again , follow the same Duties and hear the same nonsense
