Chapter 136

Wendy's POV

I navigated the city streets in a daze, the soft whine of the engine the only break in the silence. My heart still stunned by shock at what George told me. "Because I still love you".

I held the steering wheel in white-knuckled fists. He had no business saying that. Not after all this.

My wolf, Whitney, growled uncomfortably under my skin. "He's not lying," she reminded me.

I laughed. "Don't mean he needs a second chance."

Maybe. You could see, though.

I drove into an empty park just outside of town and took deep breaths. There was nothing there anymore but some rotten benches and the occasional jogger who jogged straight-out. A cold wind buffeted my body as I leaned on one of the benches, eyes closed.

I was exhausted. Emotionally, physically—I ached from head to toe.

I had no idea which one scared me more. That George had this kind of power over me, or that I still desired him in spite of it.

My phone vibrated against my thigh. I extracted it and scowled at th

    Chapter 137George's POVWhat was I thinking when I said that?. I must have gathered all the courage I had.“I really hope she won't get mad at me. Uggg….that was so stupid,“ I wrapped my head in my palm.I watched as she climbed the stairs, turning to glance at me each step she took and me trying to hide that I was scared of what she'd be thinking.Well, the good thing is I shot my shot, and I really meant it. I crave her , I want her and I miss her so much. Spending a night with me might also make her decide to be with me forever. We will be happy forever and I won't ever leave her for any stupid reason.There's something in her eyes that shows how much she wants me too, something I can never miss - the way her eyelids blink whenever she talks and she only does that when she's nervous. Damn, I miss us.I went back to sit on the couch, all sort of thoughts threatening to swallow me. I wonder what she's thinking.Wendy's POV.“Why does he have to ask with such eyes,” I sighed as I t

    Chapter 138Wendy's POV.“Wendy you know you can't,” my inner wolf said. “Why? I avoided him perfectly well just now, so why can't I?.”It's true I almost fell, but I held it together just as it was about to escalate and I can do that for the rest of the day. It's not as hard as I think it is, but I want to eat right now. I've been suddenly feeling hungry.I should have ordered something, if I'm that determined to not go back on my words but today of all days , I am feeling creative. Like I'm about to cook a meal that will make history.I adjusted my hair in the mirror, slipped in a fluffy slide and went back to moisturize my lips, because they felt too dry before I finally went for the door.I practically tiptoed to the kitchen, because I had to make sure George wasn't anywhere around. I sighed in content when I didn't find him anywhere before I finally went inside the kitchen.“What to cook?,” I said, staring at the full fridge. The fridge was full, but I don't like the majority of

    George's POV.She pressed her lips to mine, tugging at my buttoned shirt like she was about to pull it off.I held her hands, stopping her from going further. She moved back a little and looked at me with a raised eyebrow.“What is it?,” her voice was raspy, like she was already in the moment.“You don't want to do this, I know,” I said and as if that was what she needed to hear, she broke into tears. I immediately brought my hands to her cheeks to wipe the tears away while I brought her close to my arms.“It's ok,* I tapped her back as she cried in my arms.She looked up, wiped her tears and coughed before she said, “I'm so sorry, but I don't know what I was thinking,” “I thought you stopped loving me, then I got so confused,” “I'm sorry,” she said, her head hung low that it made my chest tight.“Wendy, look at me,” I said, raising her face up with my finger . “I told you, didn't I?,” “I said you don't have to do it if you don't want to, but it seems like you want a reminder.”Sh

    George's POV.I read the letter again and it dawned on me that she had gotten herself into trouble. But how?.The letter stated that she had requested their funds receipt which is very rude to ask clients and they had to ask me directly before they would know the decision to make.Wendy would not do something like this but how come her name is written on the papers.Someone knocked again and before I could say anything,my secretary rushed in , terror lined in her face.“I made a huge mistake, Alpha George,” she trembled.I knew immediately what she was talking about.“Is it this?,”. I said, raising the letter and she nodded politely.“I'm really sorry,” she said again.I wasn't angry at her because that was not what mattered, all that mattered was….“Have you sent a copy of this to the clients?” I asked hoping she'd say no, but instead she nodded in the positive.I frustratingly wrapped my head in my palms, thinking of what I can do next to make sure Wendy isn't caught up in all the m

    Wendy's POV.I was in my office when my secretary came in, reporting the most unbelievable thing to me - that I've been caught up in a mistaken issue.I was lost in thought of what I was supposed to do before one of their letters came in that I should have a meeting with them.Never would I have thought George would be there too.The location was Grand Royale, an exotic place that I have marked a long time ago. I didn't know then I would be going there for this reason.As I walked into the second part of the big place, I saw a decent group of what looked like business men and I knew immediately by instinct they were the ones.I walked closer, only to find someone unexpected in their midst, trying so hard to prove a point, and all I could gather was “.......to do with Mrs Wendy Ashton,” before one of them saw me and offered me a seat with a gesture.I didn't feel secure because I have never had a deal with them, so I opted for the line seat beside George and I felt him shift.The one w

    George's POV.The next day being work day, I quit turning over the bed and actually stood up pushing the carton of the cheese I ordered yesterday from my way.I put my hand on my forehead when I felt my body burning and indeed it was burning, but I ignored it as it's not the first time I will be burning like this.After a cold bath, specifically for cooling the fever, I stood in front of the mirror, overlooking the mess I have become.Despite the hell I've been through, I still had my shine - my handsome features. Seriously.I wore a light blue buttoned - down shirt, tucked it smartly in my navy blue chinos before I wore a blazer on it to complement.My accessories enhanced it and I've never looked that good. It would be a waste if I didn't see a particular someone to show it off to.As I greeted my staff I caught a whiff of my cologne myself and I knew exactly why they always gossiped in admiration for me.I settled on my chair with a mind full of hope, that today will be exactly lik

    Wendy's POV.After I left George's office with the flimsy excuse that I came to repay him for his kindness, I went home.I had left home this morning with no intention of visiting him, but my body didn't resist the urge and somehow, I found myself in the large space of his rooftop watching serene views with him.Making my heart beat again, letting my heart fall again.I was whipped, I know that. And I'm fully aware that it's just a tiny push needed and I will be at the front of his house knocking to blurt out my very obvious feelings.“Ugh…..” I winced as I hit my toes on a woody surface.I annoyingly sat in the bed, causing a rise in the space that didn't dip inside as I sat. I looked around, the big bedroom danced around me like a jelly but it managed to point out my loneliness.But I've lived like that for many years, and I can do more than that, I know.I kicked my shoes to a direction, unbuttoned my shirt and completely removed my clothes before I walked in the warm tub.

    Chapter 144.Wendy's POV.I cut the line. I was about to be caught and that was not the intention.I realized suppressing them - my worry and my feelings - could cause me to do the unspeakable, so I had to let some out and that was it. It's not meant to get intense or serious like the question he asked.But heaven knows I'm at my limit - one more phone call and I will throw every reason I think I can't be with him away and…….. and?.Go for it?. I don't really know, but I know something has to change the sleepless nights and blank minds I have been feeling. I had been prompted to call him after I sent the message and I didn't see his reply for about an hour. I was dead worried, because I know how bad his fever gets and that there's no one to take care of him given he laid his house helps off because of the betrayals he was getting. I remember pacing in the room, getting my toes knocked off by the same woody stool that I made a mental note of taking away, but you know when you're real

My wife.The elders stood in front of her, their expressions a mixture of both respect and reverence. One of the elders Elder Marcus, cleared his throat. "Wendy Ashton, do you accept this position as Luna, to stand by Alpha George and lead the pack with wisdom and strength?"Her gaze shifted toward me for a brief second. That smile — soft, knowing — calmed something deep inside me."I accept," she said, her voice breaking but it remained a bit steady.A low ritualistic howl sounded across the pack as they welcomed their Luna, I walked closer to her, taking her hands in mine, they were so soft."You’re finally mine," I whispered to her.She smiled. "And you’re finally mine."I leaned down, brushing my lips slightly against hers. The hall erupted in cheers. But the celebration wasn’t just for Wendy’s coronation. The

    Chapter 163The courtyard was dangerously silent. It was the day the evil shall be rewarded. Gerald, Brittany, Rosina and Edward. They knelt side by side, their hands tied to their backs as they looked like criminals. They all had spiteful looks, befitting each other. Criminals, aren't they? That's what they were and they're taking their punishment.George wasn’t there. He didn’t need to be. Neither did Wendy. They had already won. What will they gain in watching the disgraceful sight?.Elder Mikhail stood there in front of them. His white hair cascading gorgeously on his shoulders. His robe's rope dangled just above the floor. He looked at them with disgust, before he started his judgement.“Gerald. Edward.” His voice was sharp, cutting through the silence like a knife cut through bread. “You have been found guilty of conspiracy against the… Alpha and the pack. You plotted to destabilize our leadership, and in doing so, you endangered not only the pack’s unity but its very survival.

    George's POV.After she had pecked me goodbye, I stood outside watching her sit back down on the couch, pulling the curtains as I told her to.I wanted to go, but my legs seemed to be stuck on the floor.I should leave.I hopped in my car, looking at the distant house in my front before I turned the car on.I already bid her goodnight, made sure she was safe.But why did I feel this tightness in my chest?I ran a hand through my hair, exhaling, shakily and…sharply. I could go back in. Stay the night. Make sure she’s safe. But I knew Wendy would call me paranoid. She’d tell me that it was over, that we could move on.Still, something not so comforting gnawed at me.Maybe I was imagining it — the feeling that someone was watching us, the unease burning in my gut. But the thought of leaving her alone tonight made my wolf shout inside uneasily.My phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out, seeing a message from Liam.“Everything’s secured. Gerald’s not getting out of this one.”I sighed.

    Chapter 161Wendy’s POVThe room felt colder after Ryan left the room. His words echoed in my head, tightening my chest until it hurt badly."Because Edward always wins."George stood still, his fists clenched beside him, his face was pale, tight with a quiet, almost dangerous rage.My hand touched his arm. “George?”His jaw is tight. “I should’ve known.”“You couldn’t have.”He shook his head. “Ryan’s been in this from the start. He’s been feeding Edward information this whole time.” His lips curled darkly. “And we trusted him.”I swallowed hard. “What do you think is going to happen?”George’s gaze was immediately darkened. “I will find Gerald before he makes his next move.”The door swung open. A guard stood at attention, breathless. “Sir—”“What?” George’s voice was sharp.“They got him.”My breath caught. “Gerald?”The guard nodded. “We just received word. He was tracked to a private airstrip. Our team tracked him before he could leave the country. He’s back in custody.”Relief

It left a weird kind of feeling in the deep part of my stomach.Wendy was in the kitchen, checking the fridge for what she could make. “Do you want eggs or pancakes?” she called.“Both.”She rolled her eyes, smiling. “Greedy.”I stretched out on the soft couch, my arms behind my head. “You love it.”Her lips curved. “Yeah. I guess I do.”My phone buzzed on the table. I ignored it. But it buzzed again. And again.Wendy shot me a look. “You gonna get that?”“Nope.”But it wouldn’t stop. Sighing, I grabbed it. Unknown number. Weird. I almost let it go to voicemail, but something made me answer.“Yeah?”“George.” A voice I hadn’t heard in years. Cold. Amused. Twisted.Edward.My whole body tensed. “What do you want?”“Just checking in,” he said lightly. “It’s been too quiet, don’t you think?”My jaw clenched. “Stay the hell away from us.”He laughed. “Oh, George.

    George's POVI woke up to sunlight stabbing me right in the eyes. Annoying as hell. I groaned then turned my head, but I immediately felt it , her soft skin under my arm, warm breath on my chest.Wendy.She curled into me, her face was pressed against my chest. Her hair was a mess, it was all over the pillow and my shoulder. I could feel her breath, it was soft and even, against my skin. My arm tightened around her waist.I wasn’t dreaming, right?My eyes opened the more, adjusting to the light. No, I'm not dreaming. She was real. And she's here.Her lashes fluttered, then her eyes opened — those brown eyes that always made my chest feel tight. She blinked but sleepily.“Mornin’,” I said, my voice was rough.She made a small noise, her face scrunching up like she was annoyed I even spoke.“Too early,” she mumbled. “It's…too…early.”I grinned. “It’s almost noon, ma'am,” “When do you plan to wake?”“Too early,” she repeated again, her hand slid up my chest and it rested there, her

    George's POVI walked out of Wendy’s apartment, my heart beating hard. Too hard. I could even hear the sound in my ears. For the first time since everything happened, I felt hope. Real hope.She didn’t say yes completely. But she didn’t say no too. That was enough for me.Her words kept coming back to me as I stepped into the night air. What if I really leave everything behind?I grinned, from ear to ear, shaking my head. I will wait. As long as there’s one small chance, I will wait.I entered my car and started driving. The road was quiet. Only the streetlights and the sound of the engine. My phone buzzed on the seat beside me. I reached for it, my eyes looking at the screen.It was my spy.I sighed and picked it up. "What?""There’s movement," the voice said. "Edward is restless. Something big is happening tonight."My jaw tightened. "Watch him. Let me know if anything changes."I ended the call and threw the phone down. Edward again. That bastard. He wasn’t going to ruin this. Not

I go on that trip that leads me to avoid George or I get back with him. But the hard part is, either of the options work well with me.But the second seems more bothering, now that I have his possession with me.I pressed a hand to my stomach. A life growing inside me. His life.My ringtone completely pulled me out of all my thoughts.I thought it was a call from George, but …It wasn’t.It was a call from an unknown number.I hesitated, then answered. "Hello?"Silence.A knock sounded at the door. It must be George, but can I take risks?.I stiffened. "Who is it?""It’s me," George’s voice came through.I hesitated, then stood and opened the door.I inhaled a soft breath, it was George."Can I come in?" he asked.I stepped aside, letting him pass. He walked inside the room, but his eyes were on me the whole time."You didn’t have to come ba

    Wendy's POVI sat on the edge of my bed, the pregnancy test still sitting on the bathroom counter. Two pink lines. Positive. The result kept flashing in my mind, over and over again, until it felt like it was carved into my skull.Pregnant.My hand drifted toward my stomach. A life—George’s child—growing inside me. I should have been freaking out more, panicking, but instead, I felt… numb.No part of me regretted it. Not really. But the weight of what this meant… that was the part I wasn’t ready to face yet.How was I supposed to tell George? Or was I even going to tell him at all?My phone buzzed beside me. I glanced at the screen. A message from George.George: Are you okay? Wendy, answer me.I sighed and tossed the phone aside. He wasn’t going to let this go. I know how relentless George can be especially when he suspects that something might be happening.I rested my head back on the bed, nothing was running through my mind. I stared at the ceiling, trying to know what to think f
