로그인Jenna woke up rubbing her eyes as she realized she was in an unfamiliar surrounding. Panicking, she got up from the bed with confusion.
She groaned as she felt pains between her legs. Pains that reminded her about last night. Her eyes widened in shock as she recalled what she had just done but she wasn't regretting her action this time.
It was painful but she enjoyed every bit of it and she was willing to take that pain rather than to be at the mercy of her supposed fiance.
She got off the bed, knowing she had to get back to her room before her family would start searching for her.
“Ouch!” she mumbled, holding the bed as she felt much pain. Walking towards the door she stopped, remembering her family should not know about this, she panicked in fear as she thought of how to make sure this stranger did not look for her.
She rushed over to the bedside table as her eyes fell on a jotter and pen. She picked it up to drop a note for the strange man but was confused about what to write.
Finally, she came up with something…. “Thank you so much for last night and please do not look for me, this never happened.”
She dropped the note, took a deep breath, and moved carefully so as not to be seen by anyone. She hurried over immediately and when she got to her room, Kaya was already waiting for her.
“Where the hell have you been all night?” She asked in a worried voice.
“I ended up in someone else’s room,” Jenna replied, explaining in detail but was cut short by the buzzing sound of her phone.
“You should answer your father’s call already, everyone has been calling you ever since Damien told them he wasn’t going ahead with this marriage.” Kaya sneered.
“I will meet them at home,” Jenna replied, quickly changing into a white shirt and blue pants.
Picking up her stuff she hurried over immediately after she was dressed and when she got home she tried to sneak in but her father, stepmother, and step-sister were already waiting for her in front of the main building.
She tried to walk past them but was held back by her father who looked furious.
“You do not walk past me!” He snarled in rage. “You should explain this madness,” he added.
“I do not have an explanation to give. Damien called off the marriage and not me, why do I have to explain his infidelity?”
“And where the hell were you last night?” Her dad shot back at her.
“Dad, did you ask him why he didn’t show up for my dress fitting?” I went to his room and found him having an affair, he said the wedding was off and I left for my room. What was I supposed to do?” Jenna responded, staring daggers at her stepsister, Coty.
“You should have spoken to me first before he made the damn announcement!”
“Dad, he doesn’t want me okay, you should be happy he likes your precious daughter, Coty. So let him have her!”
“You do not make the decisions, young lady. This alliance means so much to my pack and my company. Nobody, not even your step-sister will ruin this treaty.” Do you understand me? He snarled in rage causing her to frighten in fear.
Confused, she stared at her family. “Did you already know about Damien and Coty being in a relationship?” she asked, searching their eyes one after another.
None of them said a word, confirming her fears as she felt betrayal wash over her.
“Everyone knew except me?” Jenna questioned as tears formed in her eyes.
“That is not important. What is important is that you are going to get married to him and fix this mess!” her father sneered.
Jenna broke down in tears, kneeling before her father. “Please, father. Do not give me away to someone who doesn't love me. I'll work harder to make sure the company doesn't go bankrupt. I will do everything you tell me, I will marry someone else. Just… just not Damien!”
“You don't understand, Jenna! Our pack will be in danger, I will lose my status and the company will crumble! Her father scowled. “Do you want your family to suffer? Me? Your stepmother and stepsister?”
“I will not end up with a man who hates me and is having an affair with my sister, she sniffed as she stood up to walk out.”
“Come back here, Jenna! Don't you dare walk out on me, she heard her father's voice which was more like a threat. “I order you! Stay put! Heed your Alpha!”
Her body instantly recognized her father's alpha command and her knees gave up, weakening with every step.
“No! Please!” Jenna begged. Tears welled in her eyes, admitting she was just her father's pawn.
“You will marry Damien no matter what it takes even if you have to live with your sister, I do not care! And that is final.” I have concluded with his father and your marriage is rescheduled in three weeks, do not try anything funny!” He added and walked out of the room.
Tears filled her eyes as she stared at Coty and her stepmom, Chloe with disgust but they had no remorse on their faces. She had done everything till this day to please her family but they chose to treat her like a slave, what hurt her the most was her father did not understand her but was only after his achievements and he wasn't going to let Coty marry Damien first because Coty wasn't his blood even though he loved her most, she was still a child her stepmother, Chloe had with her ex-mate before getting married to him.
One last look at Coty she picked up her bags and walked to her room as she curled up in her bed letting out her tears before she fell asleep.
***
THREE WEEKS LATER
All the days that led to her wedding day were hell for Jenna as she was restricted from leaving the house by her family.
Jenna recalled that night as every single moment kept replaying in her mind and she couldn't get them out of her head. She didn't know who that man was but her heart subconsciously treasured that night as it was the only nice, recent memory she had.
Her stepsister, Coty had gotten even more bitter recently and she made things more complicated for her.
“You seem to be happy on your wedding day, huh?” she heard Coty snort behind her jolting her back to reality and causing her to turn immediately.
“Is there a reason not to be?” Jenna fired back, staring at Coty’s cruel face. She could barely believe she was the person who played and laughed with her while growing up.
“You shouldn't be too happy yet, everything you own will be mine soon,” Coty snarled in rage. “Mom will soon be here,” she added with a smirk.
Jenna tried saying something but felt dizzy just like she had been feeling quite a few times lately. She tried to ignore it as she always did but this time around the dizziness refused to be ignored.
She could see the world in circles and it wasn't long before her vision dimmed and the last thing she recalled was Coty’s evil smirk.
*
A few hours later she woke up to the smell of chemicals and on a hospital bed.
“Who is the father!?” Jenna heard Coty shout as soon as the door was pushed open.
She raised her brow not sure what she meant by her words.
“Father of who?” she replied with a question as Coty rushed over to her and wrapped her hand around her neck.
“Don’t play with me, Jenna. Don’t even think that I won’t let everyone know about this! She growled, drawing out her fangs.
“Wh… what do you mean?” Jenna stuttered gasping for air.
“Did you seduce Damien to get you pregnant, you bastard!?” Did you go back to him that night he rejected you? Is he the father of that bastard inside of you!?” She yelled at Jenna whose eyes widened in shock.
How could…. How could I be pregnant!? It was just one time and I don’t even know him. Jenna’s body froze as different thoughts ran through her mind.
“I… I am pregnant?”
“You tell me, who the f*ck is the father!? Coty groaned, sending a slap across her face.
Tears ran down her eyes as she thought of the humiliation this would cause her if her father and every other person found out.
“I am going to make sure that bastard inside of you dies!” Coty yelled, jolting her from her thoughts. She was about to hit her again when they heard fast-approaching footsteps.
Coty paused, her brows arching but Jenna was not worried about whoever that was. She was only worried about the pup inside of her.
What am I supposed to do? It was just a one-night stand, how would I have a pup!?
The door of the ward suddenly opened and a servant ran in hastily.
“What’s wrong?” Coty asked hurriedly.
“The guests have arrived!”
“Oh fuck, right there.” Jenna moaned as he thrusted into her rapidly whilst choking. “Urrgghhh, I'm about to cu…” she didn't finish her words as he claimed her lips and groaned as they both knotted at the same time.Now, only their breaths filled the silence that followed…uneven, slowing, finding rhythm again after everything they’d poured into each other.Jenna lay draped against Kaelion’s chest, her skin flushed, her hair messy, her heartbeat slowly steadying against his. His hand traced slow circles down her back, his touch both possessive and tender.“Do you realize,” he whispered against her forehead, voice low and rough, “you almost killed me tonight?”Jenna smiled sleepily, her lips curving. “You didn’t look like you were dying to me.”Kaelion gave a husky laugh, the sound vibrating through her. “Oh, I was dying… but what a way to go.”She giggled softly and hid her face against his chest, her cheeks warm. “You’re funny.”He tilted her chin up, his thumb brushing her lower lip.
ONE WEEK LATER A week passed in a blur of preparations, laughter, and quiet anticipation. The day had finally come.The morning sun poured golden light through the stained-glass windows of the chapel, casting soft colors across the marble floor. Jenna stood at the entrance, her hands trembling slightly as she adjusted the lace veil. Her heart thudded wildly, not out of fear, but the kind of awe that came with realizing every prayer, every tear, every heartbreak had led her here.Celeste fixed the final pin into her hair. “You’re radiant,” she whispered, blinking back tears.Mina nodded quickly. “The Alpha’s going to lose it when he sees you.”Jenna smiled faintly, glancing down at her daughters. Arielle and Alina stood proudly in matching dresses, clutching tiny bouquets of white roses. “Ready, my angels?”“Ready, Mommy,” they chorused.The music began…a soft piano that swelled into strings. The doors opened, and every head turned.Kaelion stood at the altar, in awe. The moment his g
Four days.Four long, sleepless days since Kaelion had fallen into that still, terrifying silence.He lay pale on the white sheets of the hospital’s VIP suite, and machines sounded softly beside him. Tubes ran across his arm, and the rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor was the only proof that he was still here… still fighting.Jenna hadn’t left his side once. Not to eat and also not to rest.Her hair hung limp, her eyes sunken, but her hand never left his.When the doctor entered that morning, he sighed quietly before speaking.“Luna,” he said gently, “you need rest. You’ve been here four days straight. Your body can’t take much more of this.”“I’m fine,” she whispered without looking up, stroking Kaelion’s hand softly. “He’s going to wake up soon. I’ll be here when he does.”The doctor hesitated, glancing at her weary face. “Someone else can stay for a while…”“No,” she said sharply, then softened her tone. “He would want me here.”The doctor studied her a moment longer before nodd
“Alpha,” Darren’s voice broke through the tense silence. “We found a signal.”Kaelion’s head snapped up instantly. “Where?”“Outskirts of the West Region,” Darren replied, his tone sharp and urgent. “An abandoned industrial site. The trackers blinked for a second before cutting again.”Jenna’s breath hitched. “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!”Kaelion turned to her. “No. You’re staying here.”Her eyes widened, disbelief flashing through her tears. “Stay? Kaelion, those are my children! I’m not sitting here while…”He gripped her shoulders. “Jenna, listen to me. It could be a trap.”She shook her head violently, shoving his hands off. “Then let it be! I don’t care if it’s a trap. I’m going.”For a long second, their eyes locked… fear, rage, love, all tangled in one devastating silence. Then Kaelion exhaled roughly, jaw clenched. “Fine. But you stay behind me. You do not move until I say.”Jenna nodded quickly, already wiping her tears. “Just get me to them.”————The convoy move
Jenna’s scream ripped through the hall. “No….no, please no!”Her knees hit the marble before she even realized she’d fallen. The crown that had once glittered proudly in her hair clattered across the floor, rolling uselessly.“Jenna!” Celeste dropped beside her, grabbing her shoulders. “Breathe…hey, look at me…breathe.”But Jenna couldn’t. Her chest heaved, sobs wracking through her. “They took them, Celeste. They…my babies…”Mina’s face was pale, her voice trembling. “They’ll find them, Jenna. Kaelion’s men are already…”“Don’t…” Jenna choked, tears streaking down her face. “Don’t tell me that if you don’t know for sure.”Kaelion was on the phone, pacing like a predator caught in a trap, every muscle in his jaw twitching. “No signal on the trackers. Whoever did this must have taken them to a place with no signal.”Jenna’s gaze snapped to him. “Then look for a signal! Do something!”He froze, eyes cutting to her, and for a heartbeat, she saw the fear behind the fury. The kind of fear
“Hold still, you little rebels,” Kaelion said, laughter rough in his throat as he crouched on the tiled floor, surrounded by tiny hands and squeaky toys.Aiden giggled, jumping onto his back. “I’m not a rebel, Daddy! I’m a warrior!”Kaelion chuckled, pretending to fall over while Arielle squealed, “Nooo, Daddy’s losing!”Alina just stood back, arms crossed, her eyes too sharp for a three-year-old. “You’re letting them win,” she said seriously.Kaelion’s gaze softened on her. “Maybe I like losing to them.”Jenna leaned against the doorframe, smiling faintly as she watched them. “You spoil them too much,” she teased.He glanced at her, that quiet smirk tugging at his lips. “They deserve it.”He reached into the small box beside him and lifted three little velvet cases. “Speaking of spoiling…”Aiden’s eyes widened. “More gifts?”“Last ones,” Kaelion said, opening the boxes to reveal three sleek wristwatches…silver bands, tiny screens glowing faint blue. “One for each of you. So I can alw
