After being assigned to become a chaperone to younger entities of the dark by his alpha father, Cameron Thompson was determined to do exactly that to prove himself. Not wanting anything but to impress his parents his whole life, Cameron's life has always just been about doing whatever they want, even if it sometimes meant prioritizing them more than himself. Babysitting troubled witches and vampires can get quite hard. You have to deal with blood suckers and entitled brats who basically just make hexes around and cause trouble most of the time. But Cameron was a professional and everything was going smoothly until one young black witch was brought into the coven who was just purely trouble. Cameron did everything to do his job accordingly and keep his professionalism, but as time passed by he started falling for this creature who can't, and isn't, suppose to feel love.
Lihat lebih banyakLiela stares at the test result in disbelief, her ears ring as Amanda’s voice comes as if through water–
“Congratulations Luna, the heir to the Blood Oak pack is five weeks old. In PERFECT condition. You are going to be a Mom!”
The only thing going through Liela’s mind is: Thank God her gynaecologist also happens to be her best friend, otherwise she won’t even have a chance to keep this a secret.
She has to keep it a secret, at least until she can figure everything out.
How could she be pregnant? The Alpha doesn’t want one, and he has done all the precautions he could. So how could she be pregnant?!!! Liela can’t even pinpoint exactly which time went wrong because it happened many times more than usual recently. But that doesn’t matter now.
The question Liela needs to answer now is: what to tell Alpha Tarum.
Does she even tell him? If she just takes care of the abortion herself, then he doesn’t have to know.
After all, he is not in the pack right now. He is out there looking for HER, as always.
“You don’t look too happy,” Amanda cups Leila’s face worriedly, “are you alright?”
Is she alright? She hasn’t been, not a day since she married Tarum. More accurately, not a day since Carmela died for her. Carmela was supposed to be his Luna, not her. She was the one who the rogues took. If only she had died like fate wanted for her, but no, Carmela took her place, and her life has broken into pieces since that day.
She lost her best friend, the whole pack deems her stealing the Luna’s title from Carmela. And did she? The Alpha never believed that Carmela really died, and he spends all his spare time out there looking for Carmela.
Even if she stole, she stole only an empty title.
“I’m fine…” Leila forces a smile, “Too…exciting, the news is.”
“I totally understand!” Amanda squeezes Leila’s hand firmly, her eyes too genuine for Leila to look at, “You and the Alpha have been trying for over two years now! The whole pack was starting to worry! I know how much pressure you were under, I totally do.”
Yeah, Amanda doesn’t understand, at all.
Leila smiles faintly at her innocent friend. It’s the Alpha’s responsibility to bring an heir to the pack, so they have been putting up the image of trying hard at it. Otherwise the pressure would be on him.
What sarcasm! She not only carries a problem in her womb, but also has to accept people congratulating her for it with a smile.
“The Alpha’s joy is going to be over the roof when he gets the news. After two years, he finally has a scion, now he can feel like a true Alpha,” Amanda replies, already daydreaming about the seven day banquet, customary to celebrate the birth of a new Alpha.
“Hmm, about that,” Leila takes a deep breath and cuts in before Amanda dreams all the way to when the baby is born, “I want to bring Alpha the news myself, so before that…”
“I understand!” Amanda laughs, patting Leila’s hand, “Not a word out of my office until you brief your dear husband! Trust me!”
Amanda is THE gossip of the pack, but Leila has to trust her this time. As if she has any other option.
“Amanda, we have been waiting for this for too long, and I just want it to be perfect, can you understand?” Leila takes a deep breath, saying the smooth lie she has been practising for the past two years, “Not just to the Alpha, okay? Not a word, to ANYONE–”
“Who’s in there? She has been talking forever!” A woman’s sharp voice comes through the closed door, obviously loud on purpose for them to hear.
Leila glances at Amanda worriedly before she stands up. This should just be a “routine check-up”, people would get suspicious if they take too long.
“Don’t shush me! The Luna title doesn’t give her the right to be a bitch!” The woman continues her sassy comments, “If she could get pregnant, she would have in the past two years!”
“The rumour is that the moon goddess sealed her womb because the title doesn’t belong to her.”
“That serves her right! She stole the title from her friend! One that saved her damn life! I’d be too ashamed to live if I were her–”
Leila opens the door calmly and the hallway falls into an awkward silence. The sassy woman halts her words, too, but not before she shoots Leila a mean glare. Leila glares back, and the woman bares her neck under the pressure of her Luna’s aura.
Leila normally avoids conflicts like this. She deems all her suffering the way to redemption because she knows she can never repay Carmela. But these people don’t get a say when they have little idea what happened. Even if she doesn’t care about her own reputation, Leila can’t allow them to discuss the Alpha like this behind his back.
“You do not–” Leila doesn’t get to finish.
“What’s going on here?!” A cold, dominant voice rises before echoing the hallway, attracting everyone’s attention.
Leila shoots her head up, frozen at the man striding over. Alpha Tatum. The youngest Alpha to have taken the title in the history of their pack. The man with a face that breaks every girl’s heart, and the body of a Greek god.
Leila's heart skips a beat.
The sassy woman already melts on the seat, legs shaking as well as her lips. Leila frowns at her before she walks up to the Alpha.
“What are you doing here–”
Before Leila could even finish, Alpha Tarum already passed as if not even noticing her. His rough shout piercing the hallway: “Where the hell are all the damn doctors?! Get me a doctor, now!”
Leila has never seen the man being this hasty. He is always calm, the living symbol of reason. Nothing makes him lose his cool.
Following the Alpha are four men carrying a stretcher, and on there lies a woman with a sickly beauty on her face. She is soundly sleeping and doesn’t seem to be in any critical situation.
And Leila understands it now. With her head buzzing for what she just seen, she understands only one thing now:
Carmela is back. Finally, he found her.
Emptiness.A feeling that never left Cameron since his selfish father acted like a total sociopath and traded Selena for his child's sake.In the past 7 years, not a day goes by that he doesn't stop by in her old bedroom and cry.Even with her gone, her presence still remained in the room.The things that she left back at the academy were still there, and her old bedroom remained untouched and lifeless.The time that they've spent together may not be that long, but it left a great impact on him.Ever since she left, everything just hasn't been the same.He never got in trouble again, and that made him lonely even more.Glancing his puffy eyes around the dusty room, he landed on the old vanity mirror that his mother gave to Selena when she moved in.He can still hear her voice in his head when one of the staff helped Cameron carry the furniture to her bedroom and she crossed those cute little arms over her chest and said "What the hell am I going to do with this shit?"The thought of i
"When did they attacked?" Cameron asked his father as they all sat down at the dinner table."The second you and Selena left," Answered the alpha through gritted teeth."Assholes," Cursed Chaz making Selena slap him at the back of his head.The Thompson's day have already been ruined enough and they certainly don't need more problems.The family literally had 6 students abducted and they don't know what would they say to their parents.The coven was supposed to be a safe Haven for them.A place where they could grow and learn healthily.And the last thing that they're parents were probably expecting was having their kids kidnapped because by the Alpha's enemy."We have to get the kids somehow, Alpha," Joined Dominique, sitting next to the twins."Yes Dominique, we do," Said the alpha in the dullest tone. "I am aware of that but my problem is how we're going to take them back." He added trying his best not to throw a tantrum."What does the pagans want from us anyway?" Asked Selena as
"Selena," Said Cameron angrily as he touched his head that has a sore bump now. "What the fuck?" He added as he stepped away from the dark giving her a full view of him."Holly shit Cam," Gasped Selena. "Are you okay?" She added walking towards him.This wasn't the first time that she hurt him accidentally.There was this one time when she was cooking in the coven's kitchen at three in the morning and he went on to check on what's going on.Cameron was wearing a woman's sandal that time since he just got back from babysitting his cousin's daughter and as he walked to the kitchen, the heels clicking echoed.And Selena being the paranoid bitch that she is acted like Rapunzel and grabbed a cooking pan.The moment he walked in on the kitchen door, he was instantly hit hard on the face by the cooking equipment.And since that incident, he never walked in on the coven's kitchen at three A.M. again.Who knew what would she hit him with next time."My head hurts," He said reaching out to the
"You cannot tell anyone about this," Said Selena as she closed her eyes, enjoying the feeling of her hair being massaged.Who knew that going shopping isn't so bad at all?Well, not the mall entirely just the spa that was in it.Selena has never gone on a "Girls day" before but that sure is going to change now.Caitlyn might be way too old to be her best friend but if she keeps on bringing her on places like this? Then screw it.She would be more than happy to do all those girly things that Caitlyn wanted her to do if she could have this same treatment in exchange."The same thing goes to you sweetheart," Said the older woman as she herself enjoyed the treatment. "You know how those people think. They would say that I'm some lesbian pedo for taking you out or whatever." She added making Selena snort.Her use of words is just hilarious.Selena had never really heard her talk like this until now.And let's just say that she's glad she did.She's not sure if this is forever or temporary
"Sweetie, come on," urged Caitlyn for the millionth time. "It's going to be fun. I'll get you everything that you want." She added, hoping that the blonde would finally consider the idea.Selena mentally groaned at that.Well, who knew that for other people, birthdays were such a big deal?"Thank you, Ms. Thompson, but I'm just not feeling okay right now." She reasoned before adding a fake cough to the lie, making the older woman glare at her."Selena Dalton," said Caitlyn with a glare, wishing that it would finally intimidate her. "Get your lazy ass on my car right now." She demanded, pulling off the best tough voice that she uses when scolding her children.Just when Selena thought that Chaz and Cameron weren't total assholes, they were.They basically pushed her out of Cameron's house and brought her to the coven, giving her to Caitlyn Thompson to entertain.Cameron's mom doesn't really know about the fact that it's her birthday, but when she did, it was over for Selena.She did pr
Selena rubbed sleep from her eyes.It was a Sunday morning, but since she joined the activity, she had always gotten used to waking up early.Pulling the covers off her body, she tried to get up from the bed so she could get started with the day, but as she was about to sit back down, she was pulled back by a heavy force.And that's when the memories of last night came back to her.She's in Cameron's bed."You're not trying to leave me here, are you?" He asked in his raspy morning voice as he too sat on the bed. "It's too early to get up." He added with a groan as he rubbed his eyes.Selena sighed at that.This is what she hated the most.They almost made out last night, and he acts like nothing happened the next day.She does like the fact that he wasn't going too fast, but she doesn't like that he's not moving at all."Cameron," she said. "We need to talk." She added with a serious expression.She was never serious, and the fact that she's being serious right now makes him choke.Th
