MasukDarius:~~~“Mistress, miscarriage?”Hearing Caroline's broken voice feels like being drenched in icy water; my heart skips so loud I'm sure the entire kingdom heard it.I wanted to explain things to her, but I lost my voice at the sheer hurt and betrayal in her eyes.How the hell do I even start to explain? So I did the craziest thing ever.I hung up on her.I only realized my mistake after I called her back several times, but she didn't answer.I call her office line, and then a man's voice answers after the third ring.“I want to speak to Caroline.”“Alpha Tre… King Darius. Did something happen?” he demands in an alert voice.“No, dammit! I only need to speak to her!” I yell into the phone, just as I reach for the folder on my desk and hurl it at Hunter.It's his fucking fault!“Get lost!”He hurries out without wasting time.After what felt like an eternity, the man's hesitant voice spoke.“I'm sorry; she refuses to speak to you.”“Tell her it's urgent,” I insist.“I'm sorry…” he
Three days ago…~~~“Let him go. I’m here for you, mate,” Caroline stiffens at the robotic voice, followed by the hands that grasp her shoulders.‘Mate?’ Her mind registers just as the face of the man in the wood comes to her mind; she immediately turns and comes face-to-face with the face she loves so much and his gray eyes.“You!” Caroline states defensively, jumping to her feet. “How dare you infiltrate my pack?”Drake smirks, looking at how Caroline is ready to fight him. He felt disappointed once again.How? Why doesn't she just accept him? Is it because he's a rogue?“Caroline. Why won't you accept me? Is it because I'm a rogue?” He demands in a soft voice that surprises Caroline, making her feel bad, but she remembers Dr. Sheila’s words.And at that moment, Caroline also came to the realization of why she was able to love Alpha Trevor, even when she knew he had killed her in the past: it's because Alpha Trevor never killed her.Now, faced with the real culprit from her past, sh
~~~The moment King Darius steps out of his car, he's enveloped in a tight hug.“Valerie,” he murmurs, not so surprised by her action; she does that whenever he returns from a trip.“Darius, I've missed you so much,” Valerie mumbles affectionately.“Me too,” King Darius replies steely, as he thought about letting Valerie know about Caroline.“How was your trip?” She questions, breaking the hug and looking King Darius in the eyes.“Great, how have you been?” King Darius asks, and she smiles heartily and answers.“I'm doing fine,” before demanding of him, “Guess what? I have good news for you…” Valerie beams with excitement, taking King Darius' hand.“I'm all ears.”“I'm pregnant,” she declares, positioning King Darius' hand on her flat stomach. “We are going to become parents,” she announces, her smile wide.“Who's the father?” King Darius asks, his jaws clenching as he withdraws his hand.Even if he never got intimate with her for the past seven months, he felt he at least deserved he
Author: ~~~ At the Crescent Moon pack, inside a dimly lit room, a blonde woman is sitting tied to a metal chair, her wrists bound to the arms of the chair stained with old and fresh blood. Suddenly, she lifts her head, waking up; her fangs elongate immediately, from her overwhelming emotions and starvation for days. “Cole…” she murmurs hoarsely, “Please… blood, I need blood. Just a little,” she begs him, her body trembling, her eyes glowing crimson as she looks at him with desperation this time. She believes maybe begging Cole might work this time since her attempt at seduction had failed. Yes, she tried to seduce him, but how humiliating—he wasn't moved by her in the least. It seems she's unattractive, and no man really desires her. After all, her mate, the man who's supposed to love and protect her, killed her. How lucky was she that she still has some vampire blood in her veins then? The painful thoughts cloud her senses that have become clear, sharpening her hunger and fera
Days later…~~~We arrived home from the Dark Claw pack hours ago.I know King Darius will want to leave for the lycan kingdom; after all, he's the king, but what I didn't expect is him insisting I come along.“You know how impossible that is. I'm the alpha, and I can't leave my pack to go and stay at some godforsaken lycan kingdom.”The moment those words escape my lips, my head shoots up to look at Darius' face.“I didn't mean to say it like that,” I murmur, taking his hand.It looks like he wants to stop me from touching him but decides against it.“I’ll give you time to think about it. It's clear there’s a reason you’re hesitant to come along, but I hope you’ll trust me enough to share it with me soon,” he gently removes my hand from his wrist and turns to walk away.And the fact that he's acting so calm jabs at my heartstrings.“Darius. I… I… just take care of yourself, and be cautious with your Beta. He hurt us once.”He nods, and then after some hesitation, he seals my lips, ki
Caroline:~~~So I asked him to show me his worst, and he did. I enjoyed every second, but I couldn't take more of the pleasure and passed out…How embarrassing.I don't know how long it has been since I fainted, but the sound of Sophia crying wakes me.I sit up, feeling drowsy and weak, and turn in the direction of the sound; that's when I notice them.Sophia wasn't crying; she and her brother were only making baby noises, and Darius, who was shirtless, was carrying them in his arms as he stood in front of the window, the moonlight seeping through.I admire the breathtaking sight, my eyes stinging. My family with Darius.He turns and looks at me on the bed.“You're awake.”I nod, getting up, but feeling dizzy. “Don't move.” He instructs, walking to the babies’ crib and putting them in gently.“Are you hungry?”I nod, and he approaches the telephone on the nightstand and makes a call.“I'm sorry,” he apologizes, sitting next to me and taking my hands after the phone call.“Why are you
“What? No!”The word bursts out of me as I yank my hands away from Dad’s. “No. You cannot send me away.”Dad nods slowly, like he already knew I would react like this.“You will be safe there. You will be away from all this. Away from trouble. Away from the rumors.”“No,” I choke out. “No. You cann
Angela:~~~The familiar scenery of home greets me the moment our car crosses the barrier, but it doesn’t bring comfort; it feels heavier, almost suffocating, and something inside me tightens.Maybe it’s the shift in air, or the familiar pack magic brushing over my skin… Or maybe it’s the weight of
The moment I cross the barrier, I dial Angel’s phone.It rings. And rings.No answer.A cold pressure tightens under my ribs.I try again. Then again.Nothing.I try our mother, then father.Still nothing.A pulse of dread thuds in my chest as I hit Jackson’s number. He answers on the first ring.“
