Hayden's POV

(Five days ago)

“Abby,” I called, walking toward where I knew she was hiding. “Gotcha!”

I caught her and pulled her into my arms, spinning her around as laughter spilled from both of us.

“I don’t ever want to lose you again,” I murmured, pressing a soft kiss to her nose.

Giggling voices broke through the moment. I turned to see Amy and Asher racing through the house, their laughter filling the air, and a smaller baby crawling after them.

My chest fluttered with warmth.

I turned bac

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Not Fatherless

    Abby’s POV I turned my head toward her, my nose flaring.Elowen smirked. “Good. It pleases me that you at least know what you are.”Her eyes dragged over me slowly as she stepped closer. “A parasitic wolf.”Ever since she had incurred the wrath of a mother when she touched Amy at my restaurant the last time, she hadn’t set foot there again. And I hadn’t seen her around Derek’s pack since then either.I knew Ruby must have told Derek what happened, and he would have likely prohibited her from entering his pack.Her anger toward me might have been justified for making her fall out of favor with her crush… but not for calling me that.“I’ve warned you countless times,” I said coldly. “I am no parasite to anyone.”“You are,” she snapped, folding her arms. “To Alpha Derek, of course. He's so focused on fatherless children that aren’t even his…”“Excuse you?” Hayden’s voice cut in sharply from behind me.“Did you just call my children fatherless?” he asked, his tone dropping dangerously lo

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Parasitic Wolf

    Abby’s POV Ruby had to go to the hospital for a proper checkup after the purging kept coming and going.So, I took the kids to the restaurant instead.Derek didn’t come home last night. He only called to say he had things to handle and wouldn’t be back until later.I knew better. He didn’t need time for work. He needed space.Before leaving for the restaurant, I called Father to check on him. When we spoke the previous night, he complained that the twins had already fallen asleep before he could talk to them.So this morning, I let him speak to them before we left.His voice softened instantly the moment Amy and Asher started talking over each other through the phone.Amy kept trying to grab the phone from Asher just to scream louder into it.I couldn’t help smiling as he giggled over the phone listening to them.It reminded me of how he used to be with me before my eighteenth birthday changed everything between us.But I knew better now. We had both been hurting back then.I promise

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Always Between Them

    Abby’s POV Thankfully, the twins unknowingly salvaged the situation before the tension could grow worse.“Derek, see!” Amy said excitedly, lifting Molly proudly. “Hayden buy it for me!”“Bought, sweetheart,” I corrected automatically.“Hayden bought it for me,” she repeated obediently.Derek chuckled softly. “Can I see it properly?”Amy immediately wriggled toward him.Hayden hesitated for the briefest second before finally releasing her hand.Asher followed right behind her without thinking twice.Something unreadable crossed Hayden’s face before he looked away.Derek crouched slightly as Amy shoved the stuffed bunny into his face proudly.“Nice,” he praised seriously before pretending to inspect it closer. “But what if I get you one even bigger than this?”He spread his hands wider dramatically.Amy gasped softly. “Really?”“Mhm.”Asher immediately tugged Derek’s sleeve. “Mine too. A big car.”Derek laughed under his breath, ruffling his hair lightly. “Sure, my boy.”I heard Hayden

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Outnumbered

    Abby’s POV By the time the kids woke up, another course had already been served.After the meal, I decided it was time to go home.“I thought we agreed they were spending the whole day with me,” Hayden said, sounding almost disappointed.He was right, but I couldn’t stay anymore. I thought of something to say to escape but nothing came. “I already got tickets for them to an amusement park this evening,” Hayden finally said.My brow pulled. “Why again? They already had enough fun here.”“It’s what I arranged yesterday,” he replied simply.“Let it be tomorrow evening,” I said, a little too quickly. “They’ve had enough today.”He paused, then nodded. “…Alright.”It was only after he agreed that it hit me. I had just created another reason to be around him again tomorrow. My chest tightened faintly.Not so soon.Not after the kiss.I pressed a hand to my forehead.The memory still lingered stubbornly in my head. Worse… my lips tingled every time I thought about it, like it had happene

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Something Changed Anyway

    Hayden’s POV It took everything in me to stay still while she spoke about her trauma… knowing the root of it traced back to me.And seeing her cry that way–Something in me cracked irreparably.Her lips were still against mine, trembling slightly beneath the restraint I was barely holding together.Fear held me in place.I had crossed a boundary she set. I knew that much.I thought of pulling away before this became another mistake she would hate me for later.But then her fingers tightened faintly against my shirt.Not pushing me away.Holding on.Like she didn’t want me to leave.My restraint slipped before I could stop it.I deepened the kiss slightly.Her breath caught softly against my lips.The sound nearly broke what was left of my control.My hand moved to her back on instinct, pulling her in just enough that she fit against me again. Slower this time. Heavier. Like I was trying to convince myself this wasn’t something I was stealing.She tasted like salt and warmth and every

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Safe Enough to Break

    Abby’s POV I inhaled and rose to my feet, his height immediately overshadowing mine. I tilted my head slightly just to meet his eyes.Even when he tried to steady his expression, I could still see it… the struggle in him. The restraint he refused to let slip.My gaze dropped to his midsection beneath the shirt.“Your wound…” I started. “I want it to heal first.”His brow lifted slightly, as if he wasn’t sure he heard me right.I stepped closer, my fingers brushing lightly over his shirt where the wound was hidden beneath.“I’ll think about the bond later,” I said softly. “Right now… I want you to heal.”For a moment, he didn’t respond.His eyes stayed on me, unreadable in a way that made my chest tighten all over again.“You don’t have to worry about me… about my wound,” he said quietly. “It will heal with time.”My fingers slipped away from his shirt slowly.“I wish I could stop worrying about you…” The words slipped out before I could stop them.Silence followed.I swallowed, quick

    Hayden's POVA moment later, I stepped into the elevator and rode it down.When I reached the lobby, I spotted her standing at the front desk, speaking to one of the staff.I stayed back, watching from behind one of the pillars. A second later, she turned and walked back to the elevator, disappeari

    Hayden’s POV She hadn’t worn her mask, so I recognized her instantly.Jessica.She is an old business partner way back. Long before I ever wore the Alpha title. Back when I was still raw from Amara’s betrayal and building from the ground up. She was a female Alpha in a man’s world, bold, sharp, an

    Hayden's POV Even if I’d never met him in person, I’ve seen his face in enough damn pictures to recognize that bastard instantly. Derek.Why the hell did he stop Abby? I clenched my jaw. Sure, I didn’t exactly broadcast my wedding, but I’m damn sure someone like him would've done his homework pro
