~DAHLIA

Zayden was going to die.

I knew it the instant my eyes opened, the moment I woke up from the pain induced sleep. It was the only logical explanation as to why Derek was still keeping us here.

“He is not going to come. I know you are waiting for Zayden, but he is not going to come,” I said to Derek as we waited, trying to convince my former best friend that the father of my children does not care about us as much as he should.

It was a lie though, and Derek knew it too.

“Stop trying to act dumb, Dahlia. We both know that he is already out there looking for you guys. And sooner rather than later, he will find this place. And he will try to save you. What do you think will happen to him then?”

My heart had fallen into the bottomless abyss in my stomach then, and it had taken all of my willpower to remain composed then.

“You… you don’t have to kill anyone, Derek. You came here for me. You already have me. I’ll g

    ~DAHLIAWatching Edda's face turn pale with fear gave me immense satisfaction. Blood drained from her face, and she stared at me with her jaw hanging open. "You're kidding, right? You are not even the Alpha, and the guards don't submit to you. Is this another one of your ploys to make me believe you're more than you are?" she quipped, trying to sound brave. But I heard the underlying quiver of fear in her voice. I schooled my expression into one of neutrality as I stepped even closer to her."I am not trying to make you believe anything, Edda. You don't have to believe me," I deadpanned, and turned to face the guards. I was about to give the order on how to deal with her when she interrupted me. "Fine. Have me killed. That will make you happy, will it not? Just fucking kill me and be done with it. But when you're alone, Dahlia. When you have no one to put up a show for, I want you to think. I want you to remember ho

  • Pregnant With The Alpha Pup   The Luna's order

    ~EDDAZayden still hadn't woken up. I knew this because I sneaked into the hospital to check up on him, and for my greatest surprise, he was still unconscious. My heart was in tatters. I wanted to be with him, to stay at his side and hold his hand until he woke up. But I could not. Even getting into the hospital to spy on him was harder than I expected, and I almost got caught. I could not afford for that to happen. That didn't stop the bitterness I was feeling from spreading though. I hated seeing him like that, lifeless and unmoving. For a moment, I thought he was dead. But then I saw the machines hooked up to him, and I knew that he wasn't dead. He was alive. But only barely. My hands curled into fists as I walked away. It has been about a month now. What if he never woke up? What if one day, the doctors decided that he was taking up too much bedspace and switched off the machines?They wouldn

  • Pregnant With The Alpha Pup   The Mantle

    ~DAHLIAThree weeks, twenty one days, five hundred and four hours, thirty thousand, two hundred and forty minutes.That was how much Zayden had been unconscious for, and he wasn't awake yet. I spent all my days in the hospital, never moving from his side except to take my bath, or to eat. My kids stayed with my adoptive grandfather, and Leo brought them over every once in a few days. They were okay. But I was not. My heart was heavy. I took Zayden's hand in mine, and I hated how unmoving, how totally still he was. Tears filled my eyes, but I blinked them away."Hi, Zayden. I hope you can hear me. I miss you so much. I am sorry for whatever I might have done to you, but I just...I was trying to tell you not to come. That I would find a way to get out of Derek's madness. But the link wasn't working. I tried so hard to activate the mate bond, but nothing worked. And then you came, and I...I am so sorry. This i

  • Pregnant With The Alpha Pup   All my fault

    ~DAHLIA"I'm sorry, but we have done everything we can do for him. We can only hope and pray that he wakes up all by himself," the doctor stated, and even though I was standing right before him, it sounded as though I was underwater. His voice was very muffled to my ears, and even as I processed the words, it took me a while before I actually understood what he was saying. My stomach dropped.Zayden wasn't going to wake up. They had performed immediate surgery on him as soon as he was wheeled in a few days ago, but he had lost too much blood, they said. There was also a part where the doctor mentioned that because of the force from where he hit his head after he was shot, there was something internally wrong with his head. All in all, since I got here, all I had gotten was a lot of medical jargon that made no sense to me. What I cared about was the fact that Zayden was in a lot of pain, and despite how many surgerie

  • Pregnant With The Alpha Pup   The gunshot 2

    ~ZAYDENI had never given death a thought. I mean, everyone knew death was a given, but I had never actually though of dying. Not once. Not ever. But as Derek pressed the trigger, my heart lurched into a stop. The world stopped spinning, and for a brief moment, I felt as though I was suspended in time. Ava. Axel. Dahlia. Their names flashed across my mind, and I felt so proud of myself that even at gunpoint, they were the ones I thought about. No one else but them. My family. The people I owed everything to. During that brief moment, I wondered how our life might have turned out if there was no bad guys, like the one standing before me, in our lives. Then Derek's finger pressed down on the trigger, and the moment passed. I couldn't move as the bullet left the gun, and for a second, it looked as though the bullet wasn't going to hit me. But then it went through my arm, and the
