Stephanie POV

“I understand how you feel, I mean…” He halted only to continue almost immediately.

“Trust me, I won't be angry with any decision you take.” He shrugged. “If I was in your place, I would make the right decision…”

“And that is?” I halted him, staring deep into his eyes.

Shaking his head slowly, he began to struggle with his words as he kept darting his eyes about.

“You're going to find it hard to let go, right?” I didn't wait for his response before I began to go on and on with my words.

“Right now, I just can't. It's hard and… I really just can't.” I broke down in tears.

Using his thumb to wipe the tears rolling down my cheeks, he edged closer, “Then, let's do this, together.”

“I will make sure I protect you.” He added, his tone more stronger and firm than earlier.

Smiling at his soothing words, I nodded, slowly wrapping my hands around his neck, pulling him to myself. Ignoring th

  • Once Rejected, Twice Mated   Looking Like A Fool

    Stephanie’s POVGood gracious!What in heaven's name was going on. A while ago, I was expressing my displeasure about Gregory’s recent act, fast forward to now, I was the one being slammed with questions. Not just any questions but concerning my relationship with Davies. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting that question from him, not here and not now. Why would he even ask that in the first place? Pressing my lips into a thin line, I shot my gaze out of the window, trying desperately to bottle in all of my feelings. The more I thought of it, the more livid I became and I was practically losing my mind. “Since you are refusing to answer, I will take it that my assumption is true after all.” Gregory broke the silence in the car and immediately, I shifted my gaze at him. "What?” I gasped, my tone barely above a whisper. The sound of my doubled heartbeat was slamming against my eardrum furiously. “You heard me.” He replied, his voice calm as usual and for his gaze, it never left the ro

  • Once Rejected, Twice Mated   Nothing Going On Between Us

    Alpha Gregory’s POVAfter breakfast which was eaten in silence, I set out with Stephanie and the kids.It had been days since I left my pack and even though Frank had been holding out well in my absence, I still feel the need of returning.Most especially because I felt insecure with the presence of Davies. I didn't want anything that would make Stephanie leave me and cling to him. With that settled, we got into the car and then set off for our pack. The silence in the car was suffocating. The kids who should have made the atmosphere a bit lively were asleep. Last night, they had been up, giving Stephanie a hard time as she tried to keep them under control. Staring straight ahead, I gripped the steering wheel tighter than necessary. Though my eyes were on the road my thoughts were elsewhere. Even with Stephanie by my side, I still felt threatened. Their silent communication was driving me insane, they didn't need words to understand what the other was saying.The thought made me

  • Once Rejected, Twice Mated   End Up Losing My Sanity

    Stephanie’s POVSince I left Gregory’s side, I had resumed looking around the maze-like building for Davies but it was to no avail.At first, I didn't want to get the domestic staff involved but seeing I will not be able to find him without their help, I had no choice but to do so. Even at that, no one could tell me his whereabouts, leaving me even more frustrated.Rubbing my neck which was still aching slightly, I was retracing my steps when I saw him through the window. All the while I had been searching for him, he wasn't in the building. He was walking down the path that led to the main building with his head buried. Doubling my footsteps, I rushed towards the main door just when he was letting himself in. “You just disappeared after leaving the table.” I said in a breath, my hands folded in front of me, my voice quieter than I meant it to be.“Are you okay?" I asked, peering into his eyes. The fact tha

  • Once Rejected, Twice Mated   Need To Clear My Head

    Alpha Gregory’s POVI tried to act indifferent, like I wasn't bothered by anything. My expression was neutral, my voice steady and my steps even. But inside, I was burning. I was like a caged beast that was yearning for freedom. After leaving the dining room that morning, I went to the east end of the building where no one lived. . I wanted to be alone and also empty my heart which was heavy but I couldn't. With my hands tucked inside my pockets, I paced the length and breadth of the little space, my jaws tightened and fists clenched in my pockets. The old seeker's last smirk was still embedded in memory no matter how hard I tried to shake it off. The look on his face didn't look like that of a defeated man, instead, he wore the look of someone who knew something I didn't. And that scared the hell out of me each time I recalled the scene. All my life, I had always believed in transparency especi

  • Once Rejected, Twice Mated   You Did Nothing Wrong

    Stephanie’s POVThe following morning, I woke up to the sound of the kids babbling. They sounded excited and I got curious. Pulling myself up, I shifted my gaze to the cot only to see Gregory hovering over them. He was grinning widely as he played with the kids. He was acting in contrast to the way he had acted last night. Relieved that he had returned to normalcy, I threw my feet off the bed, waddling my way towards them. “Hey,” I said to get his attention. He only nodded but didn’t say anything to me. Shrugging off the thought making rounds in my head, I groped my way towards the bathroom to clean up. Soon it was breakfast and the maid came to fetch us. I was already heading out when I discovered Gregory wasn’t tagging along. He was standing behind the window now that the kids were asleep. “Aren’t you coming down for breakfast?” I asked, my tone mild so as not to tick him off. Whatever it is that’s the problem, I had to th

  • Once Rejected, Twice Mated   Happy For Her

    Davies’s POVAt the seekers' lair, the moment Stephanie stepped out with the kids, I wanted to rush to her side and give her a bear hug but somehow, I was able to hold back from doing so.And when she ran to Gregory immediately, my heart shredded into a million pieces.So as not to dwell on the scene playing right beside me, I busied myself watching the fire that was rising into the sky.To keep Stephanie close, I had offered to host them for the night and to my delight, he accepted without making a fuss.Even with her presence and the fire crackling in the fireplace of the bar, the house was cold.With my back turned on them, I kept my gaze out of the windows as my heart clenched against my chest. Stephanie tried all she could to lighten the mood but Gregory was distant and just the same way she was hurt with his attitude, so was I. Pushing my hand into my pockets, I swirled around. It was then I discovered Stephanie had left Gregory to himself and I was glad she did. Was I happy

  • Once Rejected, Twice Mated   When The Time Is Right

    Stephanie’s POVFinally, it was all over. The seekers had all gone to fight Gregory and the army but none of them returned to the dimly lit hall for me and my kids, not even the old seeker. Scooping my kids in my arms, I placed a tender kiss on their foreheads, holding them to my chest as relief watched through me.The thought of losing one of them had made me terrified as cold chills ran through my spines.After kicking off the bowl the old seeker had placed my son in readiness for the sacrifice, I turned around to leave. They were fast asleep, so they were oblivious of what was happening around them. “This way." One of Gregory's soldiers said, steering me down a path which led out of the Seekers lair.The moment I stepped out into the bright night, I saw them. Gregory was standing tall with blood dripping down one side of his face while Davies stood behind him. “Raze down the cave." Davies commanded and immediately, the night erupted into bright flames. Still clutching my kids

  • Once Rejected, Twice Mated   Secret

    Alpha Gregory’s POVFinally, it was the day of the ritual.Stephanie and the kids were finally going to return to me once more.All through the day, I was giddy with excitement that I couldn't sit still. The prospect of having my family back after several days was too good to be true that I couldn't think of anything else.“You should get some rest, it's going to be a long night." Davies had said to me countless times but I always shoved his words to the side. An hour before the ritual would begin, Davies and I went over our plans with our allies for the last time before we ventured into the dark night. The closer we got to the lair, the thicker the tension in the air. I bet I was the only one feeling this way because Davies and the others were unfazed. The Lycans moved in silence, their eyes glowing in the dark and their claws were extended and ready for the bloodshed to come. The Dragons towered above the

  • Once Rejected, Twice Mated   Abducted

    Stephanie's POVResting my back against the cold wall, I had my knees pulled up to my chin with my eyes all over the place. The only thing I could think about were my kids. Ever since we got abducted, I haven't been allowed to see them. Their incessant cries were the only thing that gave me hope that they were alive, nothing more. Holding my breath, I tried to pull myself to my feet but I couldn't as I was cramped. I have been confined to this little space and so I didn't have enough space to move my legs about. What should I do now? I was the seekers' target and not the kids. If anything happens to my innocent children, I will never be able to forgive myself.Suddenly, the sound of approaching footsteps in the hallway came to an end and almost immediately, the door creaked open and one of the seekers stepped in. Scrambling to my feet, I asked, “My kids, how are they? You said you were going to check with
