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
Xavier stood in front of Luna with a heavy heart, the words he had rehearsed over and over again now stuck in his throat. Luna looked up at him with hopeful eyes, searching for any sign that he still cared for her. But all Xavier could see was his mistress, Anna, waiting for him in the shadows. "Luna, I... I can't be with you," Xavier finally managed to say, his voice cracking with emotion. Luna's expression fell, her hand reaching out towards him as if to catch him before he fell. "Why?" she whispered, her voice barely above a whisper. Xavier hesitated, torn between his duty as a werewolf alpha and his feelings for Anna. He knew he had to choose one, and he knew that Luna deserved better than to be in a relationship with someone who couldn't give her his whole heart. "I... I have found someone else," Xavier admitted, his voice barely audible. Luna's eyes widened in shock, the realization of what Xavier was saying hitting her like a ton of bricks. "Who?" she asked, her voice tre
“Xavier, I love this dress. Today I will wear it. Perhaps we can shop for a beautiful dress for my upcoming Luna ceremony.” Anna gushed excitedly as she twirled around the bedroom, holding one of Dellas' most beautiful dresses against herself. Xavier glanced up and felt his wolf's dislike of the omega touching his exes' belongings. Xavier's stomach churned at the sight of Anna holding Luna Della's dress, a twinge of discomfort settling in his chest. The dress symbolised Luna, a reminder of the love they once shared, and seeing Anna covet it filled him with a sense of unease. "Anna, that dress belongs to Luna," Xavier said, his voice tinged with disapproval. "It's not yours to wear. And we haven't discussed anything about you becoming the Luna. You are merely carrying my child.” Anna's expression shifted, her smile faltering at Xavier's words. "But Xavier, I thought... I thought we were moving forward, starting a new chapter together," she said, a note of defensivenes
Della left the pack house and slid into her car without looking back. Her hands clenched the steering wheel as she turned the key, the engine roaring to life. The tyres screeched as she accelerated, leaving the dust of her old life behind. Her gaze was fixed straight ahead, a steely determination in her eyes. She refused to let a single tear fall, refusing to give Xavier the satisfaction of her pain. His betrayal, especially with an omega, was bad enough, but the news of the pregnancy had shattered any remaining hope she had for their future together. For years, they had tried to have their baby, and this was how he wanted to be. Della had given her life to a man who she thought was her one and only. They had sworn their love and promises under the moon and in front of their loved ones and pack members. She knew that Xavier was a fool to choose anyone over her, and the moon goddess would surely punish him for his terrible actions. The wind whipped through her hair as she sped d
