LEILA MILLER.Everything was a mess afterwards really.I could not quite remember how we got the other’s attention, but I know in the blink of an eye, the ambience had shifted and Jasper was by his mate’s side, mom on her other side and Sebastian by mine. It was a chorus of voices, reach trying to speak of what to do and how to go about it but at one point, everyone did collectively agree that it was best to take her to the hospital instantly.So, Jasper along with his parents took her to the pack hospital, which had already been informed and prepared to receive her, while Sebastian escorted me back to the pack house to pick up her maternity bag. It was in times like these that I was genuinely glad Maya was a thorough and organized person. She had already prepared everything and the bags and everything else was prepared.All we had to do was pick it up, and follow them to the hospital.But the hospital was a mess as well. Maya had been taken into the labor room, while Jasper was tryin
LEILA MILLER.The moment I had said that, I held my breath, my eyes settled on the pack that remained still—and I could barely tell what was going on in their mind. For a split second, I had wondered whether I had said the wrong thing given how quiet they were, and as an instant sense of comfort, I turned my head around, my eyes finding Sebastian’s.But his expression as much calmer than mine was. For he simply offered me an assuring smile, and once again, just as he had been doing the entire night, his hand gave mine another squeeze, and I squeezed it back.I tore my gaze from him and faced the pack again, my gaze finding his family’s, and Jasper then got on his feet, before he started clapping.Then, everyone did. And the cheers begin—it came with full force, all at once, so much so that I almost staggered back, taken aback and overwhelmed by the amount of instant love was thrown my way.“All hail Luna Leila!” They had all cheered together, their collective voices resonating around
LEILA MILLER.I could feel the air shift around me, as the place quietened down so much so that a single pin drop could be heard. Yet, I could hear my heart thundering behind my ribcage, and I feared they would be able to hear it too. Sebastian’s hand holding mine was the only thing keeping me steady and pinned to my position. And I found stability in looking him in the eyes, his warm smile soothing some of my worries.The elder’s voice came once again, this time around, he went on to start by calling our Mother, who is believed to be the origin of all wolves, Selene.“Selene, Mother of the night, we call upon you to witness this unity and bond of two souls you fated as one. We summon the spirits of the ancestors, of the former Alphas before Alpha Sebastian and all the Lunas before Leila, to look upon your descendants and bless them. Let the legacy of our bloodline flow through this union, blessing them and further generations to come, make this pack of ours stronger than ever.” His v
LEILA MILLER,I am a bundle of nerves, safe to say.I could not get Maya’s words out of my head in the slightest. And I know I was weighing on fifty fifty. There was a possibility that I could be not, because I have not been vomiting or anything. I mean, I did have some times that I felt nauseous, but not vomiting. And I did not have other symptoms of other pregnant women aside from the weight gain.But on the other hand, it would not be so surprising. Sebastian and I have been wrapped around each other so much that it would be surprising if I was not pregnant. Byut the thing is, I am not sure how to feel about this.I was scared of the possibility of it being real—of Sebastian’s reaction.As the event was about to start, I decided to take a pregnancy test afterwards. Maya said she has some test strips she could give me some to test on later. The event kick started shortly afterwards, and I was left alone.My palm rested on my belly, the same as it has always been, and I could not hel
LEILA MILLER.I have a confession. I overheard Sebastian and his family’s conversation prior to me entering the dinning room.Wolves have hyper hearing, so it is not like I did it intentionally. Sebastian’s family, though stayed at the pack house, had a side to them so others were not allowed in unless necessary, and then there was the exception of the maids as well.I heard right from the moment Clare was mentioned, and everything else that followed afterwards. I had almost caved in and agreed to his parent’s wishes, she is their daughter after all, I cannot make them keep her away just because of me.I tried to put myself in her shoes, and thought of Ma and Pa. I do not know how I would react if I was ever in a situation where they would not allow me to come home because eof a sister-in-law, though luckily for me, Gracie and I were always good friends.I thought she could come, but we do not have to cross paths right. She is not someone I genuinely want to meet, nor keep away from h
SEBASTIAN SALVATORE DE LUCA“I will speak to Leila about it.” I told my parents, instead of giving thema straight answer as I did earlier. I know if I just spoke from my perspective, they would keep pushing it. However, the moment I mentioned Leila, it was a good enough reason for them to immediately zip their lips shut.At least, for a moment, until my mother huffed out a breath. “Mathew however, do not allow him on our pack lands any time soon. He needs to learn his lesson.” She hissed, before she turned to face my father, one hand on his arm. “Matter of fact, should we just go to their pack? I do not think he truly understands how badly he had messed up. I would like to set his head straight.”I nearly chuckled, but I held myself back. Jasper did it in my stead however, because he had no issue expressing his true intentions—perks of being left to be the care free one in the family.“Trust me, mom, Seb has done enough I am certain.” He chuckled, shifting his gaze from her to me, a k
