It was already after seven, but Hayden was not yet back for the dinner we had at seven thirty p.m. I decided to eat a little bit because I was getting hungry.So I grabbed two large pieces of cake, then some sweet wine, and grabbed my phone to text Hayden."Still working?"He saw the message in two minutes but did not answer."Is my stylist coming over?" I asked again, and he saw this one too, but there was no reply.I dropped the phone and concentrated on stuffing my face and watching the movie I turned on. I was still in my third bite when the door opened, and then he came in looking tired. I stood up and kissed him."How was your day?" He asked."Amazing, we went shopping, so we brought everything needed for school and at home. How was yours?""It was a day, just like others." He answered."What kind of answer is that, and how come you did not answer my texts when I texted you?""I was close to home, and I was too tired to start typing. Do you want me to message Crystal?""Nope, I
"Lily, hold still, or I will shave your hair off," I shouted, but Lily was still trying to hit Elijah, who snatched her bracelet off her hand while I was doing her hair."Elijah, stop playing and disturbing her; I am trying to do her hair," I scolded, but they continued laughing and screaming."Elijah, cut it out now," Hayden said, and he stopped immediately."Go get your bag from the room, like I heard your mother say a few minutes ago," he said. Elijah grumbled and stood there, refusing to go.Hayden lowered himself to his height and asked, "Did I not just tell you to go get your bag?"Elijah turned and ran into the room before Hayden could drag him in."Wow, you must have the patience of a saint to be able to handle both of our babies every day."I chuckled, "Meh, I got used to it, but I wonder who they got the temper from?"He saw the look on my face and shook his head. "It is not from me, so it must be from you."I shook my head. "I doubt that. Lily, go get your bag too.""Thank
My heart flew into my stomach, then the voice turned to a woman's voice, and she started laughing.Wait, I know that laugh."Hello, the new protected Luna?"Ann. She thought that this was a joke."Are you crazy?" I screamed, but she continued laughing.I pressed the record button because it was time to end all these stupid jokes."What kind of stupid joke is this threatening me with my children and using someone's voice to do that?""I don't know what you are talking about. I just called you to wish you a happy training," she said and started laughing again.I guess that she knew that I was recording her and decided to play dumb, but I was too mad to let it slide; this joke went too far. I rushed to the bathroom, opened the door, and then saw her smiling.I closed it, then came closer. "What kind of stupid joke is that? Was that funny for you? Is that how you behave now? You threaten little kids?""How dare you talk to me like that? Show respect, or I will carry out my threat," she sa
"Mommy, why are you hissing?" Lily asked me, and I got pulled back to reality."Nothing, baby; I just saw something I did not like. Now come, let's go eat," I said and extended my hand for her to take, but instead,She jumped and said, "The last person to the table is the loser."Elijah started running and passed her, then she ran after him."Be careful, you are going to fall," I screamed, but my phone started ringing.I looked at my screen and it was Hayden. I declined it, put it on silent, and concentrated back on my children. I chased them to the dining room, and they were already sitting down on the dining chair."Mom, you were last this time," Lily screamed."Yes, I was. Now be nice to me," I replied."Okay, mommy," she replied.I dished them some turkey sandwiches and orange juice, then placed some tomato and spinach on them. The servants made a grilled turkey sandwich, tomato and spinach, rice and chicken sauce, and even many juices. It was a whole lot, and we would not finish
I smiled, even though Hayden had a huge scowl on his face, and waved at him."Hi."Then I dropped the food and turned to the table. Peter, Lucien, had a lot of his high-ranking soldiers there, and they were looking at us like we were a movie that was about to unfold."Are you not going to introduce me?" I asked him, then turned to bow down and introduce myself, and he grabbed me and covered me with his shirt."I don't need it." I started to say, but the side-eye he gave me shot me up."Lucien Submit that data by the latest next week, and take my pack when I am gone. Peter get the data from Uncle Josiah; have it ready by tomorrow; you are all dismissed.".Some of them rushed out with a smile on their faces, but Lucien, Peter, and a boy whose face I could not place took their time standing up. His face looked familiar, and he would not be older than nineteen. Then the boy moved closer to Peter and whispered something that I did not catch."Get out now, the rest of you, and that includes
"Yes, though I don't like the extra vegetables in the sandwich. Only goats eat grass.""It's tomato and spinach, and you are similar to a goat anyway. You walk with four legs, and you are part animal too." I replied, then smiled because that response was very clever."Are you trying to be smart now, Mrs. Walker?" he said, and I smiled, then quickly caught myself."It's Miss Cage now; I broke our bond immediately. I left.""It's Mrs. Walker. We never got divorced, and the bonds could easily be mended by marking each other again. Anyway, who broke the bond for you?" He asked."A friend," I answered, refusing to say his name.Werewolves that were gifted by the moon goddess were many, but some gifts are very special and highly sought after. A wolf could break bonds is one of them, and so when one is found, they are paid, persuaded, or threatened to join a pack, but many do not like it. So they usually never use their powers where they can be discovered."Trying to keep him hidden, are you
Cecelia povI looked at my watch, wondering why Christina was not here yet.I recalled that she was desperate, so there would be no reason for her not to agree.I had met one of the maids who works directly for Hayden and Alex when I went to look around and cool my temper after that witch had made me so angry by groping Hayden, and he was letting her. My mother had been right; men are naturally weak and need to be put on the right track, and I will do so for himThe shouting at a shop attracted me, so I moved closer to see what was wrong and settle it, because this would be my pack soon when I finally drove that imposter out and took control. but that could only happen if I found their servants who would betray them as my mother suggested, and I will because there was no one for me but him.Then I saw the lady, and she was begging a woman to give her time so she could repay the debt."No, I won't. If you don't pay me back today, then I will report to Alpha t
"Alex, wake up," I heard a voice like Hayden say.I turned and pulled the cover over me because I was not ready to wake up yet. I wanted more time in this wonderful bed."Lex, wake up, or you will be late for your Claire's surgery."I woke up immediately, I heard her name, but due to the sudden movement, my head was pounding and my eyes were blurry. I blinked three times, then slowly opened my eyes.It was already morning because, although the draperies were still closed, I could see light seeping through. Hayden was standing and was fully dressed in a three-piece suit, ready for his meeting. He was so handsome, looked very imposing, and was different from the Hayden I saw back home. He had put on his mask for his stay here. He is holding a glass of water, which he handed to me. I drank the water in a go, then murmured."Thank you," I said truthfully because my body needed it.I extended my hand, and he dragged me out of bed. Then I remembered something and looked around.I was alre
