HAILEY'S POV.Kendall's scream cut off my sleep and I leaped out of my room looking half dead. “Are you alright, Kendall?” I said as soon as I entered her room and I was met with a sight I wasn't prepared for. Something was holding my daughter above her height and her legs were dangling free above the floor. Someone. I didn't need a sorceress to tell me it was Zac. “Stop with the reckless play, Zac.” I groaned. I needed to sleep and they are awake this early, playing. It's 6 o'clock in the morning! “I'd love to but that's not what her royal majesty wants so, I'm afraid I'd have to reject your offer now, ma'am” he didn't even spare me a glance as he continued his dangerous games with someone who loves dangerous activities. I used to wonder why she loved extremely dangerous activities and I beg to differ now. Her father is the original model of extreme sports and she's the copy model. “Mama, come join us!” She screamed just as Zac threw her up. What's funny? Why are they laughing?
CEDRIC'S POVI sat in my office, surrounded by my loyal right-hand men, Jason and Felix. We were discussing our plan to take down Zac and Hailey, and I could barely contain my excitement."Gentlemen, the time has come," I said, my voice low and calculated. "Matilda is getting more and more desperate by the day. She's blinded by her desire for power and revenge, and she doesn't even realize she's playing right into our hands."Jason and Felix exchanged a knowing glance. They had been with me since the beginning, and they knew exactly what I was capable of."So, what's the plan?" Jason asked, his voice eager."We'll let Matilda think she's in charge, of course," I said with a smirk. "She'll lead the charge against Zac and Hailey, and we'll be right behind her, pulling the strings. Once they're out of the way, we'll make our move and take the throne for ourselves."Felix nodded, his eyes gleaming with ambition. "And what about Matilda? She's not going to just hand over the throne to us,
ZAC'S POV. “Alright. I guess you won now, Princess.” I gave up as Kendall's willpower seemed a little stronger than mine. “Well I didn't ask for an easy win.” She grumbled. She wouldn't want something so easy and neither would I. Seemed like she's so similar to me. One would think I'm her biological father. “Hey Kennie, I want to ask you a quick question.” She nodded and I took that as my cue to ask her about her dad. “Where's your dad?” She looked at me for a while and let a small smile grace her lips. “I don't know but mama says he's closer to us than ever.”“Let's watch a movie together, Dad.”I was surprised when Kendall asked me to watch a movie with her, more surprised that she called me Dad. One would think I've gotten used to it but it still makes me feel so happy, like it's the first time. Hailey was out running errands, and I was hanging out at the house, feeling a bit restless. Kendall suggested we watch 'Frozen', and I agreed, thinking it would be a fun way to pass t
Alpha Greg sat in his office, his eyes fixed on the pack member standing before him. "What is it, Marcus?" he asked, his voice firm but curious."Alpha Greg, I have news about Hailey," Marcus replied, his voice cautious.Greg's expression turned intense. "What is it? Is she...?""She's alive, Alpha," Marcus said, relief washing over his face. "And she's living in Oklahoma with a child."Greg's eyes widened, shock and joy mixing on his face. "Oklahoma? With a child? Who is the father?"Marcus hesitated before responding, "Zac, Alpha. He's the one she's living with."Greg's expression transformed from joy to anger in an instant. "Zac? That traitor? Living with my daughter? Oh, he'd have himself to blame for sending her away and now moving in with her!”Without another word, Greg stormed out of the office, determination burning within him. He had to see Hailey, had to know she was safe and happy. And he would confront Zac, make him pay for daring to live with his daughter after sending h
I opened the door, my eyes guarded, and my expression hesitant. My father stood before me, his eyes filled with emotion, but I couldn't bring myself to feel the same way. He hadn't looked for me, hadn't tried to find me in all these years. And now, he was here, expecting me to welcome him with open arms?"Hailey…" he said, his voice cracking with emotion."Yes?" I replied, my voice firm but polite. I was so happy to see my big man but I won't give him the satisfaction. "Hailey, please, I just want to talk," he begged, his eyes pleading.But I remained firm, my arms crossed. "I don't want to talk, Father."Just then, Zac appeared, his eyes flashing with warning. "Who are you?" he asked, his voice firm.My father's anger flared, but I interrupted him before things could escalate. "Father, wait."Zac released my father's hand, and I led him to a nearby park. We sat on a bench, the silence between us thick with tension."Father, there's something you need to know," I began, my voice gent
Zac’s POV---I knocked on the door, hoping to catch Fisher at a good time. When he opened it, I was taken aback by the romantic atmosphere in the sitting room. Diana was snuggled up beside him on the couch, and they both looked like they were in their own little world."Ah, Zac! Sorry about the timing," Fisher said, clearing his throat. "Come on in."I felt a bit awkward, but I knew I needed his help. "Hey, no worries. I need some advice on how to surprise Hailey for her birthday."Diana smiled and patted the couch beside her. "Join us! We're happy to help."As I sat down, Fisher asked, "So, what've you got planned so far?"I explained my ideas, and Diana nodded enthusiastically. "We should call the girls! Natalie and Eliza would love to help plan this."Before I knew it, the two women were summoned, and we were all huddled in the sitting room, brainstorming ideas. Natalie pulled out her notebook and started jotting down notes."Okay, so we've got a picnic, a surprise party, and a sp
Hailey’s POV.I paced around the house restless. Zac wasn't home yet and it bothered me to no length. Fisher already called to verify if he came home already but I replied no. I haven't seen him since the time I left the hospital and it's pricking my heart. “Isn't Dad here yet?” Kendall yawned as she said this but she didn't let her yawn disturb her focus: Zac. She wanted to tell him how everything went at her picnic and her wish to have a little picnic with him and I. She was sleepy but she wouldn't sleep before he came home, or so I thought. Soon, she gave up trying to fight sleep and she let it take over her consciousness. The door slammed open and I thought for a second that it was Zac but it wasn't him: it was Natalie. She looked so worried. “Hi girl. Zac's passport and ID card is ready. I got everything done just in time and his bank account is already set but nobody has seen him.” She came towards me to hold my hands in hopes to calm me down but it wasn't working. I wasn't c
Hailey’s POV.“Cedric?” I stared at him for a while and it made me wonder if it was obvious that I was shocked to see him here. “In the flesh, M’lady.” He chuckled vibrantly. “Oh my goodness!” I screamed loudly and Cedric's chuckle went on. “How are you?” I asked with curiosity filling my eyes. I haven't seen this man in six years and he looked like he had not aged a day. Sweet. “I'm alright, hopefully you're doing well.” He responded with his famous grin. He looked like he was alright so, I knew he really was. “I am.” I said truthfully. I really was doing well, to an extent I was doing well. It was a truthful lie. I wasn't doing well. I missed Zac and it felt like half of my body disappeared. “You look glum. Is everything really okay?” He looked concerned. “Well, I…” “Is it his about Alpha Zac?” He interrupted me and what he had to say caught my interest already. Zac. “What?” “Well, he returned back to the pack yesterday after a long while. He's been out of the pack on a m
