Edward's POV "You're not my mommy," Love said suddenly, and all eyes on the table turned to her and then Cali, I think? I didn't miss how her heartbeat hitched. She immediately stood up and went to Love's side, getting on one knee but my daughter didn't let her touch her and ran to me, I held her. "She's not Cali, daddy," She was more convinced than ever. I didn't doubt my daughter because everything has been off lately with 'Caliana,' My brothers were stunned. " Love whatever do you mean?" "Hey sweetheart, what do you mean? That's Cali," Marcus said, seeing how upset Love was. "But she's not MY Cali, my mommy,' She exclaimed, growling. All blood drained from Caliana's face and my Lycan stirred in my mind. He was snarling. I didn't move or say a word, I didn't know what to say. She was Caliana, and everything about her was my mate'But?' Ward asked. 'Her eyes, her laugh, Caliana's had a certain tone to it, it was short and low, the tingles,' I countered. What the fuck was goin
Edward's POV I was mortified. I was fucking ashamed that I lived with a woman for more than a month that wasn't my real luna. My heart constricted in my chest and all I wanted to do was scream in rage or breakdown into darkness, however, I couldn't right now so I did the best thing I could. I grabbed a bedside lamp and threw it against the wall and it broke into pieces. Soon, the other furniture followed. I sat in the dark room, cursing myself at what I did. My mate probably thinks the worst of me and she should, how can I ever face her after what I did? After the pain, I put her through. I buried my face into my hands, and all emotional strength left me by now. The door soon opened and my brother, Jamal, walked in. He sighed at the sight of my room and got on one knee in front of me. " It's not your fault, Edward," He assured me but I scoffed. " I was fooled, again, and I don't know where my mate is, I'm sure she thinks the worst of me. My Caliana hates me," " Candace planned this
Edward's POV"Alpha Edward, what brings you here so late at night?" The head patrol warriors asked. A few warriors now surrounded him, ready for anything. "I'm here for my mate," I said. Jamal cleared his throat and gestured for me to stay quiet, he knew I didn't have time to converse or linger. "Good evening gentlemen, as my brother said, we are here to see your new Alpha," My brother said. The warriors exchanged wary glances and Jamal spoke again,"As you may know, she is my brother's mate and they had a misunderstanding as all lovers do, he just wants to speak to her, we come in peace," He explained patiently. My brother had a thing for people no wonder we worked well together, while I was irrational, he was calm. His aura made people listen and trust him. The head of the patrol nodded in understanding. His eyes darkened, showing that he was mind-linking, someone, maybe Caliana. "I'm sorry Alphas, but we can't let you in," He said apologetically. I didn't have time for this. Befo
Edward's POVEvelyn said Caliana is in the Northern region, however, didn't say exactly which pack because they didn't tell them. The North has over eighty packs and my mate is in one of them. I was, we shall stay with my cousins, king Leondre and Arya in the Sapphire royal Lycan pack while there. I was anxious the whole way there and didn't know what to do. We got there in four hours and as soon as we landed, I let out a sigh and descended the stairs. Arya wrapped her arms around me and I hugged her before greeting my aunt, uncle, and king Leondre.We drove to the castle. An hour later. Soon, we are informed that lunch is ready.After lunch, I told my family what happened, while they gave me comforting stares, Leondre gave me the one that said, 'I told you this would happen,'"We'll find your mate if she is anywhere in this area, don't worry," My cousin said. I nodded at her.In the evening, Arya took me to her manor to meet her triplets, and seeing the kids giggle and play with her d
Edward's POV"Alpha Edward," A voice from the shadows called, and we turned to the voice. The man in the shadow was wearing a robe that covered his face and I could smell the stench of death all the way there. "Amacus, in the flesh," Anaiah muttered. "Of course, my dear, you have something of mine," He told her. What was going on? I opened my senses and that's when I sensed it, dark magic engulfed this whole area. The man he called Amacus had witches next to me and the rogues were being controlled by them. "You were too young to remember this but you mistakenly took my magic and the only way to get it back is... Draining it out of you," He chuckled. Anaiah was in pain as the dark magic was directed at her. I must admit that she was a strong one to even exchange words with this man. "I don't like the sound of that so... I'll pass," The Queen shrugged. "Alpha Edward, leave if you want to see your mate again," Amacus said and I was stunned by his word, how did he know about my mate?
Caliana's POVMy heart was thumping in my chest. Edward was here and he wanted to see me. However, I wasn't surprised that he was here, Blanco warned me that Edward attacked him at the king's party. I wasn't ready to see my mate but I needed to hear what he had to say. "I'm tired, I'll see him when I can," I said, leaving my best friend dumbfounded. Levy followed me upstairs and I narrowed my gaze at him. "He doesn't look like he'll leave anytime soon," He informed me. "I don't care, and please tell him that if he forces his way in like he did last time, he'll never see me again," I said coldly. I wasn't going to entertain him after what he did to me but it would be nice to see Love again. I missed everyone at the manor even though I resented them for not trying to get in contact with me. He fucked that bitch and caused me pain, yet, they did nothing. Levy left the room with a long sigh and muttered something incoherent. With the help of Pauline, I took a shower, my mind swaying to
Edward's POV A few days ago, I was invited to a party in the Sapphire royal lycan pack. It was a way for my family to see if I'm well because they knew not finding my mate tormented me. Reaching the party, my inner lycan kept stirring in my head. I inhaled, only to catch the sweet fragrance of my mate. I searched desperately for the owner but what I saw made me enraged. Caliana's scent was coming from alpha Blanco, the alpha of the Grey Lycan pack. I attacked him immediately without a care that people were terrified. From the looks of it, he knew exactly why I attacked him. We questioned him endlessly about my mate's whereabouts but the bastard refused to give us her location, even when the king threaten him. All he said is that Caliana stayed in his pack for some time but left not long ago, I knew he was lying because her scent on him was strong which only meant they spent a lot of time together. I attacked him over and over again until they had to inject me with wolfsbane to tame m
Caliana's POVMy heart was hammering in my chest as I stared at the man I hated, oh so thought I'd hate. His gaze held many emotions but I couldn't decipher them all. Edward's eyes swayed my body and settled on my stomach and a pain squeezed my heart. I swallowed and looked next to him, I smiled at the girl next to him. She grinned when I opened my arms and she ran into them. It was the most beautiful and longest hug I've been in. I kissed her several times. "How are you so big already?" I chuckled as I put her down. "I missed you so much, mommy," She said and my heart warmed with adoration for her. I missed her little voice. Love had not yet noticed my belly and when she did, she gasped and touched it. "A baby!" She squealed, touching my stomach fondly and looking back at her father. Edward's eyes bore into me and I shuddered, my knees wobbled at the intensity of his gaze and I felt so many eyes on me. Wherever did they come from? "Caliana," Edward said after what seemed like an e
