GLORIA'S POV I don't plan to wait for Damian but yet I can't help but feel scared for some reason. I don't know why I still feel concerned for him eve after he'd shunned me that no feelings can survive between us. Nevertheless, I pace up and down the foot of the fountain waiting for Damian non stop. Why is he not yet back? I hold on to my small round belly, "Baby, your father is safe right?" I mutter slowly as if the baby inside of me was a location tracker. To my surprise, the baby kicked and I smiled softly. "Damian will be back soon I'm sure. He's promised to stay safe" But wait.... Why should I be concerned for him? Didn't he say everything between us is for the baby? 'Yes, I'm only concerned so my baby won't be fatherless' Another part of my mind corrected. Just then a servant came rushing to me, "Luna, you're phone is ringing" I snatch d the phone from her with haste. It could be Luca or Damian. But no, it was an unknown number which looks kinda familiar. "Hel
GLORIA'S POV Sooner, we arrived at the hospital where he said Luca was admitted at. He didn't support the idea of me going to meet whoever the grandpa is but Kyle was there to keep me in company. After I paid Luca a visit, Damian Moon made me wait for so we can go to do the antenatal later. Sitting on a bench beside Kyle in Luca's ward, several other werewolves would come and say a hello to Damian and Luca before starting a conversation. For a moment I donāt know what to do as I felt trapped amidst these bunch of Werewolves and the fear in my heart can't just stop as the thought of what would happen even if they suddenly jump on me. But on second thoughts, I considered what Damian said earlier. Yes! Werewolves murder my parents but not anyone of the people here right? I even wonder why everyone has to come visit Luca when he's just Damian's secretary. Little Kyle brought some popsicle for us to lick while we watch the guests go in and come out. Sooner enough, the man called
GLORIA'S POV 'Thump thump thump' "Ohhh the baby is bouncing just fine, but we can't detect it's gender yet" Dr Lucy echoed happily as she moved the mouse up and down my belly checking the baby. After we left the hospital where Kyle and Luca was, Damian brought me here immediately even though I had to force him. I can't help but be happy at this simple procedures. Has there ever been a more beautiful sound than my babyās heartbeat? I remembered I was just as happy when I was carrying Gabriel's child but the now, can't be compared to that one. If there has been any other sound more beautiful than this, then Iāve certainly never heard it. Damian was busy on his laptop typing away as if his life depends on it. He hasn't been at work for the past two days, he's bound to be busy. This is the first antenatal, I'm sure he must be as happy as I was even to he was not concentrating. "Alpha Damian, won't you listen to your child's heartbeat?" Dr Lucy took the initiative to ask him
GLORIA'S POV "What campaign dinner?" Damian sighed with exasperation, "These days has been nothing but hectic. Now a campaign dinner had come up and you must be there as my Luna" āWhat!ā I exclaim, unable to wrap my head around this explanation. Campaign dinner or not, how should can I go and appear in front of a bunch of Werewolves now? First it was his company's event and now a campaign whatever.... I sank back to the bed, "Being a leader is not easy indeed. You even have to go to places you don't want to be at. What a life" "It's not compulsory you must be there. It's just that... I'll be giving a speech to almost all the pack members, Brian and Grandpa will be there too" he looked down cast as he says this making me pity him. Grudgingly, I sighed, "Who says I won't go there? I'm expecting this much when I agreed to be your Luna" I cooed trying to lift his spirits, "But since you said it's tommorow, we don't have much time so we should leave to go make preparations l r
GLORIA'S POV This Damian.... Can he ever get tired if giving suspence like Bollywood movies? Immediately we leave the hospital, he didn't anywhere but to some far old Stony mansion in the pack where he said the everyone's grandpa stays. I don't really mind this because I feel it's normal to meet his close aides and supposedly family but what's happening? I suddenly have a deep fear in my heart for the man called Grandpa. When we got there, everyone bowed to us and of courses he strode into the house majestically while I walked behind him like a prisoner going to receive death sentence. Despite how Damian was making pases at me to make me cheer up, I only sat like a mummy and waited. Still perplexed, gentle footsteps came down from the stairs making me raise to my feet immediately. Even if I have a black record with Alpha Brian, I can't afford to have any with this man who seems to be the soul of the election. I looked at Damian who seems less interested in the person walking
GLORIA'S POV Its chaos after we left Gamma Tony's house. Damian was over the moon because the old man liked me. I don't know why, but I felt.i.have just accomplished a great task too. The day is drawing near the end but there's nothing we can do, we have to get ready for the campaign the following day. Arriving at a high end mall in the middle of Edinburgh, Damian offered to pay for anything I take. "Did you think we have to flaunt to much when the campaign is not about you?" I asked when we both walked through the women's clothing section. Damian smiled and explained what had transpired between him and Brian when he called. "So you man he didn't really invite you? You just want to use his campaign to shine?" I exclaimed. Damian pocketed his hand looking like the most handsome man, "I'm not going to be the Damian Moon he expected anymore. He wanted a weak Damian that will always loose to him despite my influence in the society, I can't give him that joy again" "As expecte
GLORIA'S POV I stood in daze and watch the man as he did this. I'm totally transfixed without doubts. When he had leaned away, I only look at him not knowing what to say and he seems to notice so he repeated himself, "In my world, you must belong to someone and now you're with me" "I.... Isn't this too much?" I finally found my voice to ask. He walked behind me and unzipped the dress, "Tomorrow's fare will mostly focus on you since they haven't seen you before, we can't afford any loopholes" I sighed and agreed obediently even though I don't know who I stand to benefit from this. After he unzipped it, "I'll go with the assistant to get another dress, you don't stress yourself I'll be be back" I smiled and sat on the sofa with a long sigh. Standing before the mirror can be so tiring I must say. Once heās gone I notice a pretty blue frock on one of the racks just outside the dressing room. "My type of dress" I giggled excitedly as and stood up to check it out. I move t
GLORIA'S POV We got back home within a jiffy and he quickly rushed to get me out of the car. He placed me on the sofa in the small living room as the servants brings in everything we bought. He knelt at my feet as though something had happened to me as his green eyes really looked very worrisome, "I'm sorry for making you go through all these Gloria" I smiled and patted his head, " If Iād been strong enough to slap her and even toss her into the air, and catapulted her to some corner" I confide, leaning into his warmth. Still on one knees, Damian let me into his embrace and I had the chance to draw in his scent. I don't know how, but I felt he was kinda sad despite that he's the one pacifying me, all my instincts are driving me to comfort him as if he was my child. āif you can't cry it out, then imagine how you wished it happened and you'll be feel alright" Damian looked up at me and smiled sadly, "You're the first to know when I'm sad and what I need to be happy. You don't
GLORIA'S POV "In the world where fairness dominates, Werewolves and humans blend together and get rid of malicious and wicked creatures like the Vampires and witches like me" Ulsan explained as we both sat at the veranda of the castle eating groundnut and maize.Despite my reluctance to accept my fate and recoil from this woman, several options and revelations stopped me from doing so as I have been told the reason why she loves alone in the forest. It's all thanks to Victoria who think she abducted me and threw me into the forest either to get killed or eaten by wolf animals, or how else would I have ever met a witch? She took care of me after I'd eaten, take care of my pregnancy and provide alot of recreational activities that keeps me from getting bored. However, what I find baffling is that Ulsan refused to tell me the reason why she said there'll be no election. It's very shocking a surprising that the election Damian and Brian were fighting or will never hold but who am I
DAMIAN'S POV The next day started in a blur. Brian was the first to leave the hospital for his house to go freshen up leaving me and Victoria. Throughout all that happened last night, she was asleep she didn't know anything only to be bothering me with questions. Sooner, she also left to go freshen up, but I can't leave this man here alone. He might want to talk to me again or perhaps something might happen to him. Elder Collins was the first to arrive with his wife. " Alpha Damian, don't you think you should go back to your office? Staying here with him dues nothing right?" He asked. I shot the old man a deadly glance, "Did I complain that my bussiness is going under? I'm fine thank you!" I hate hypocrites like this. He only came here to scorn me,I know that because he's clearly on Brian's side. When Gloria disappear last month to the Lycans Coven, this same Elder Collins was the one that supported Brian in turning the elders against me. What should I expect from someone
DAMIAN'S POV.Brian and Victoria were fast asleep beside me but I can't fall asleep, not while watching that man on the sick bed while clutching to his life. When the clock stuck 12, I shifted to my wolf form so I could stand and guard the door. Despite all that, disturbing thoughts plagiarized the peace of my mind leaving me with turmoil and unspoken invincible pains that I couldn't control. 'Can Gloria really cheat on me?' was the constant rhyme going on in my heart untill I shifted back to have some rest.I noticed the blanket covering Grandpa was slightly opened on the side, I thought of walking over to adjust it when I suddenly feel his strong arms grab mine.My eyes flew open, the sleep that was weighing me down disappeared to jeopardy in one minute. Isn't he the same man that the doctor said was in coma and won't wake up till further notice. "Grandpa are you awake?" I asked with bare whispers but no response. I shook his hand again, "Grandpa, should I call the doctor?" No
GLORIA'S POVUlsan give me a room which I stayed in. But I refused to wrap my head around the fact that I'll stay in this magical Castle with a witch as Ulsan. Fear gnawed at me each minute that I tried to reassure myself that it will be fine because nothing is ever fine. The transitions, the castle, the revelation that I was saved by a witch, everything keeps spinning in my brain dynamically and I was unable to process it. This went on from morning till night, all I did was to hug my small baby bump and think of good old days. Tears had stopped flowing from my eyes since I've been crying for what seems to be ages. Nevertheless, I would hold my stomach, and speak silently to my baby, "Don't worry Baby, mommy will be fine, just don't give me any problems, I'll make sure to get you out of this place and we'll be with daddy soon" Talking of Daddy, I wonder what Damian is doing right now. Was he looking for me? Or....Damn! I just want to get the fuck out of this mysterious place bu
DAMIAN'S POV'Nothing must happen. Nothing will happen Damian' Alaric keeps reassuring me but my human side didn't want to accede We all rushed after the doctors to the operating room with eagerness and frenzy. I can't help but say I'm really scared, very scared and frightful, what if something happens to him? I will never forgive myself if anything happens to Gamma Tony because he's the only father and guardian I have in this world.The lights of the operating ward came in to signify the start of the surgery or whatever they want to do.Brian's blue eyes was glowing with fear, even the talkative Victoria was speechless and the elders had their heads bowed with worry as no one said anything to each other. I don't want to think about Gloria, but I don't know why my mind is constantly thinking of her, 'Where can she be?''But I can never accept the fact that she ran away from us. She's not the type to ditch he people like this' Alaric comforted me when he noticed the doubts in my mi
DAMIAN'S POV I packed my bags hurriedly in an attempt to go back to Edinburgh since several calls has been flooding me right from the moment everything happened. 'Will you leave her behind?' Alaric interrupted my thoughts and I stopped. I don't see how it can give without leaving her behind at this rate. Gama Tony is I'm pains over there and I'm sure my name will be on the council's lips waiting for me to come over. āWhat should I do Alaric? I can't fuckin find her anywhere it's been two days now!ā I growled angrily and slumped back on the bed leaving the bags unpacked. For the last two days, Luca and the HR department has been running several location devices to find her location but none was successful. They managed to find her phone but where is she? The door was opened from outside and Victoria who was dressed gorgeously entered with her bags. āDamian, you haven't packed your bags? Time is running out we'll miss the flight" she yelled at me. I sat up on the bed and
AUTHOR'S POV Gloria's eyes snapped open immediately she felt cold water on her skin. At first, her eyes wasn't able to adapt to the bright light around her until someone stood on the doorpost where the sunlight flickered from allowing Gloria's eyes to adapt to the light. The environment reeked of damp soil and the air is so cold and uncomfortable but Gloria was able to adapt to the environment as though she's been there before. She stood up from the coffin where she was lying and saw a pair of old eyes looking at her like a doctor would look at specimen. The old woman poked her with a bucket, "Are you still alive or you're now a ghost?" Gloria opened her mouth to start talking but her breathing hitched and the baby in her belly kicked. She held her stomach and growled in pain. The old woman seem to notice her uneasiness and handed her a cup of water. "Take this" Gloria gulped the water hurriedly as if her life depends on it until she retched. "Thank you ma" Gloria breathed
DAMIANSā POVIts been close to five hours now and Gloria is not yet back from wherever she went to. And after the fruits was delivered and she called to taunt me, I realized that her phone is unreachable.Even though I wanted to call Luca to help look into her call logs but I decided against it. She can have her own freedom right?When itās afternoon and the sun is up and shining so bright in its majesty, I was expecting my breeder to be back but no, thereās no green-light of her and I was so worried to the core.I made conference calls from over the laptop, handle the files and sign some contracts, yet sheās not back and as much as I wanted to stop myself from worrying about her disappearance, the more I had a hard time concentrating on the things Iām doing.āDonāt you think its odd?ā Alaric questioned.āI think so too, but what kind of danger can she possibly be in, at this new environment?ā I waved the thought away and try forgetting it.When itās going to evening time and sheās
GLORIA'S POV My pulse raced as I regain my consciousness and met myself in some unknown cave, my eyes were covered, and a cloth was stuffed into my mouth which prevented me from screaming.Tears plunged my face and fear engulf me. Is this how I go through the same kidnapping situation? What more did this vile Alpha Brian wants to do? This is not even Regal pack or Edinburgh, this is Los Angeles where I know nowhere or nobody, how the fuck do I get out of here? "Alpha Brian you bastard!!ā I managed to yell and the gag on my mouth came off. What pathetic people they are, how can they call this gagging? āTell that blue eyed Alpha Brian that I will be the one to end him!!ā I find myself yelling again. Roughly, I heard some movements and someone came closer. I can now see my environment clearly but whereās Brian? āBring that bastard before me now Iāll make sure Damian tears all of you apart!ā I yelled again. The men backed off and encircled me making me look like I was a bean sprout
