Anna scowled at Martha and shook her head. "And do you believe you have a right to question me, the future Luna?" Martha scoffed, crossing her arms over her chest. "You're just an omega who got pregnant by the alpha behind our real Luna's back," Martha stated.Anna's eyes flashed with anger at Martha's words, her fists clenched at her sides. "I may be an omega, but I have just as much right to be here as anyone else. My past does not define who I am now," she retorted, her voice firm and unwavering.Martha's expression hardened at Anna's defiance, her lips curling into a sneer. "You may have deceived Xavier, but you will never be truly accepted in this pack. You're nothing but a lowly omega, forever beneath us," she spat, her words dripping with venom.But before Martha could continue, Ethan appeared, and he stepped forward, his gaze steely as he addressed both women. "That's enough. Despite our differences, we are all part of this pack. We must work together and show respect to each o
As they stepped back into the familiar surroundings of the café, Della felt a mix of emotions swirling within her. The news of her pregnancy had shaken her world, throwing her into a whirlwind of uncertainty and apprehension. She knew that she needed time to process this new reality, to come to terms with the weight of responsibility that now rested on her shoulders. But she wasn't sure if staying here was the right thing to do now. She knew that she could never risk Xavier finding her. “Oh, Della. Good to have you back. Let me make you a lovely drink.” Mrs Thompson bustled around them, her motherly instincts kicking in as she fussed over Della, ensuring she was comfortable and had everything she needed. Michael stood by quietly, his eyes filled with concern and support.Della sat down on a chair, feeling the weight of exhaustion settling in her bones. She appreciated the warmth and care surrounding her, but a part of her was already wrestling with the enormity of what lay ahead. How
As Anna stood alone in the dimly lit hallway, the echo of Xavier's departing footsteps reverberated in the silence. Her mind was a tumultuous whirlwind of emotions, a storm of uncertainty brewing within her. Alpha Xavier's doubts and suspicions hung heavy in the air, casting a shadow over their fragile relationship. She thought of how different he seemed since Della had departed the pack. She had believed that once Della was out of the way, her life of becoming Luna would be easier. She was carrying the heir, after all. Anna’s hand instinctively went to her swollen belly, a tender reminder of the life growing within her. Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Anna pushed herself away from the wall and returned to her quarters. The solitude of her room offered a temporary respite from the chaos of the pack, allowing her a moment of thinking to collect her thoughts.As she settled onto the edge of her bed, the evening events played out in her mind like a wild symphony. The confrontat
As Della pulled away from the kiss, a rush of guilt and confusion washed over her. She had let her emotions get the best of her, giving in to the moment without thinking about the consequences. "Michael, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let that happen," Della whispered, her voice tinged with regret and self-reproach. Michael, too, felt a mix of emotions swirling within him - a combination of longing, confusion, and a deep sense of caring for Della. He reached out to her, his expression gentle and understanding. "Della, I wanted that kiss from the moment I first saw you. There's something about you that drew me in, that made me want to be there for you, to protect you," Michael confessed, his voice filled with vulnerability and honesty. "I can't let you leave without knowing this, without knowing that I care about you more than words can express. I know we haven't known each other long, but there's a connection between us that I can't ignore." Della's heart swelled with
As the morning sun peeked through the curtains, Anna's eyes fluttered open, her mind immediately racing to the events of the previous night. Determination drove her as she quickly got out of bed, a sense of urgency propelling her forward. She needed to find Xavier and address the rift between them. Anna quickly dressed and made her way through the pack house, her steps purposeful as she sought out Xavier. The familiar sights and sounds of the waking pack surrounded her, but her focus remained solely on finding the Alpha. Anna's heart sank as she noticed the space where Xavier's bed should have been. A sinking feeling settled in her stomach as she realised he had already left for his morning run. His bed remained neatly made, untouched, a stark reminder of his absence. Anger and frustration flared within her, mixed emotions swirling as she clenched her fists. How could he leave without even a word? Did he not care enough to face the issues between them? Doubt crept in, whisperi
“Della, please! The pack is a mess without you. I don't even believe that Anna is carrying Xavier's child.” Martha was determined to get Della to see sense and return with her. She believed that bringing Della back would bring Anna down a few pegs, and Xavier would realise how stupid he had been to choose his omega mistress over the faithful Luna. Martha did not trust Anna, and she couldn't stand her. Della looked at her friend sadly and shook her head. “I can never forgive him for what he did to me, Martha. Anna is welcome to him, and he is welcome to her. I don't care about the Luna position. I'm sorry the pack is not coping, but I don't want to go back to someone who disrespected me like that. I loved him with all my heart and soul, but he destroyed that with his actions. Do you think I would return to a life like that?” she clenched her jaw as she spoke. Martha swallowed and shook her head. Lowering her gaze, she sighed and hugged her friend. “Della, I'm so sorry for everything h
Xavier could not understand why Anna was so pushy for the Luna title. Wasn't him leaving Della and risking everything good enough for her? He had never meant for things to go so far. The pressure he had been under to produce an heir for the pack was overwhelming, and he hadn't meant to end up feeling how he did. Anna was supposed to be an omega, but she was so sexy, and the way she undressed in front of him that first day he had slept with her in his office, he couldn't stop himself. He loved Della but the fact she hadn't produced a child for him caused him to panic and Anna had been a distraction. But now, as he looked into her fiery eyes demanding the Luna title, he couldn't help but feel trapped. He had made a big mistake, and now he didn't know how to undo it. Anna continued to push him, her voice intense and demanding. "You promised me the Luna title, Xavier. You promised me a future with power and respect. I won't settle for anything less." Xavier sighed, feeling the we
Ethan watched from a distance as Xavier and Anna argued. He couldn't help but feel sick to the pit of his stomach that Anna was even with Xavier, the alpha. He wished Anna wanted him instead; he knew that he could make her happy and be great to her. He didn't think that Xavier respected her at all. Now she was pregnant with his child, Ethan knew he had no chance of getting Anna for himself. Della should have never left, although he could not blame her since seeing Anna with Xavier was also painful for him. He was just a patrol officer, nobody important or special. But as he watched the argument escalate, his protective instincts kicked in. He couldn't stand by and watch Anna be treated poorly, especially now that she was carrying a child. Without thinking, he approached them and stood between them, facing Xavier bravely. "What do you think you're doing, Ethan?" Xavier growled, his alpha instincts kicking in. "Alpha Xavier, I'm sorry, but I can't let you harm Anna. I am m
