Next will be an epilogue.
Five years later! "Mwommy, can I go play outside?" Little Ava asked while tugging at April's dress and looking up at her mother with those big blue eyes. "Alright, honey but promise me you won't get your clothes dirty. Uncle Leon and Ethan are about to be here any time," April said while adding chicken gravy to the pan. "Okay mwommy," Ava beamed excitedly before dashing out of there. Jason had installed a number of playful things in the backyard of their house for the kids. They love to play there all the time. Two minutes later a little munchkin Jonathan hobbled over to his mommy. He grabbed her dress tugging at it lightly. "Mowmmy, Jon wants to plway too," The three-year-old Jonathan pleaded with those big blue eyes. April smiled at her baby as she picked him up in her arms. "Sweety, you'll get your clothes dirty. Uncle Ethan is coming with Evan. He's bringing sweets for you," April said while motioning for the maid to take over. "Bwut mowmmy, Ava is plwaying outside," The li
I watched as my best friend lived her dream, the most beautiful Luna ceremony with her beloved mate. I wished I would have a big Luna ceremony, but when I looked at my mate Liam aside from me, I was not sure when the ceremony would be.I smiled when I found Lily approaching us. I welcomed her with open arms as she hugged me. Her big pregnant belly stopped me from squeezing the life out of her because I was so happy. Liam chuckled at my enthusiasm as he gave Lily a side hug. “When do we get to meet the puppy?” I asked Lily.“The due date is in one week,”she said, smiling gently as she touched her belly.“Congratulations,” I chirped happily, my pearly whitw teeth on full display as Liam smiled at me. “April didn't sleep for a second last night because she was too excited to meet you today.” Liam told Lily, causing me to give him wide eyes to keep mum."April, I'm so happy you came," Lily said as she grasped my hands. “And I’m so happy for you,” I said genuinely.“Trust me, she is on c
Liam scrambled back to Stella who groggily opened her eyes and he helped her sit. Tears welled up in his eyes. It’s a sight I’ve never seen before. He hugged Stella who hugged him back as tears fell out of her eyes as well.I felt happy for them from the bottom of my heart. But as I watched them hug and talk about how much they cared for each other, somehow, I felt like a third wheel at the moment so I walked out leaving them alone.Getting a glass of water from the kitchen I headed back to Stella's room. I softly offered the glass but she only frowned at me. "Liam, what is she doing here? Did you marry her as dad asked?" Stella asked, panicking.I recalled how Alpha Jack once told Liam that he wanted him to marry me and this had upset Stella a lot whereas Liam didn't take it seriously. At that time I didn't know that I would be Liam's mate."Of course not. We are not married. She saved you. We’re…we’re good friends now." He said to Stella.I watched him stunned. Friends? Everyone kno
Liam carried her in his arms in bridal style. "Bring the car," He yelled to no one in particular. "I'll be fine," Stella said in a pained voice.I don't know why but I had a gut feeling Stella was lying but still, what if she was really in pain?"I will come too," I said as I hurried out of the packhouse as the car pulled over. I opened the door as Liam put Stella in the backseat. Liam asked the driver to get out as he took the driver's seat. I got into the backseat as I placed Stella's head on my lap and Liam put the car to drive."I'll be fine. Please, I don't need a doctor," Stella whined but continued to clutch her stomach."No, I can't take any risks regarding your health," Liam said.Within a few minutes, we reached the pack's best hospital as Liam pulled over."I think I'm fine now. I don't feel any pain," Stella said as she sat up properly on the seat and I watched her stunned. Just seconds ago she was writhing in pain and now she was fine?"I think there was some problem with
I cupped my cheek in absolute shock. My cheek throbbed in pain. Blood boiled in my veins as I charged forward ready to slap her when my wrist was grabbed mid-air.I whipped my head to look at him as he let go of my wrist. Grabbing Stella's hand he dragged her out of the room and I watched in grim silence from where they left.'April please calm down, baby. I'll have a serious word with Stella. How dare she hit you. Please relax, I will come back later,' Liam mind-linked me.I looked around the empty room, I could still smell the scent of the two of us mixed together, I could still feel his warmth and now I was left here alone and feeling cold with my cheek still aching. Tears brimmed at the back of my eyes but I refused to cry. I waited for him to show up, hoping that he would be scolding his sister but time passed agonizingly slowly and he didn't return.A tear escaped my eyes and then another and I started to sob. The ache in my heart was unbearable. 'He's a scum, even though he is
"Do you know whom you're talking to?" Liam hissed angrily.Jason gave him a cold look, then said impatiently, "If you really care about her, just put her down right now and let me check her out, since I’m the doctor of the pack.” Liam breathed in deeply as he put Stella on the chair, then he said to Jason in a reluctant voice, "Give her a good examination." Stella tried to refuse, but everyone ignored it.Jason checked her vitals. "She is fine. She just got excited," Jason said and Liam's brows furrowed. "What do you mean excited?" Liam asked."I heard Stella speaking to April," Jason said as he repeated what Stella said to me. Liam stiffened after hearing that."He's lying, Liam. I didn't say anything like that," Stella came to his side as she looked at Liam with tears.Liam wasn't looking at her. His eyes were regretful as he gazed at me."I know why this man is lying. April, it’s you, right?” Stella suddenly turned to me and shouted, “ you must have an affair with him, that’s wh
I was laying on the bed. The sounds of people laughing and enjoying themselves at Liam's birthday party down in the hall reached my ears. 'Liam is making me despise him more and more,' Frea said sadly.The fact that my wolf had started to hate Liam was something I have never thought would happen but I knew Frea wasn't wrong. 'I understand you,' I replied.'No, April. We should leave him. He doesn't deserve us.' Frea said and my heart agreed with her but I can't take action right now.I don't want my baby to grow up as a rogue amongst the wild as I had. Not to mention my child would be worse off than myself without a father. Our lives would be in danger every second as a rogue because no other pack would take the mate of the other pack's Alpha. I had to do something, I couldn't just wait and let them decide for me.I helped Liam revive the pack after Alpha Jack's death and I put in a lot of work and overcame all the odds to do it.I gave up my education and my dreams, I got A's in al
My heart was thumping in my ears as I opened the door with sparse breathing, it wasn't locked.My heart dropped down into the deepest tunnel of despair and my eyes widened in absolute horror.Stella was on the bed half naked with Liam hovering over her. His hands were all over her as he was kissing her.My stomach churned in disgust and anxiety as I felt like throwing up.Liam's head whipped in my direction and he peeled himself off of Stella as he hurried out of the bed and approached me.I was frozen on the spot. My heart jackhammering in my chest with such force I was sure it would burst out of my ribcage any second.Stella hurriedly wore her shirt as she got out of bed as well. Liam stood in front of me as he gently grabbed my arms, there was fear swarming in his brown hues."April, baby-"He was about to grab my hand when I slapped his hand away. "Don't touch me with your filthy hands," I hissed sharply as tears stung the back of my eyes but I refused to cry. “Listen, April, you
