"What's the problem?" Marcus came up beside me, gathering me in his arms and holding me close. "Is it your mother? I told you she would be fine. The doctors are saying it's stress and..."

I shook my head, the tears streaming down my eyes in torrents as I remembered his eyes when he squeezed my neck. "Her diary wasn't lying, Marcus. It wasn't. I'm not... I don't..." My chest tightened in pain, the words failing me. I hadn't told him my suspicions yet, but now that I had proof... M

  • Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Claimed By His Coach    Chapter 100– The Devil at the door

    Lori Steward*Three Months Later*"Well, Good news, Mrs. Dominic, you and your child are very much healthy and free to be discharged!" Dr. Israel said with a big smile on his face. "And this... This has been a miracle that even I couldn't believe was possible."My eyes were filled with tears of relief. At long last... After Renée had lied to us about the real location of the antidote, I thought my life was over. I had already given up and let the moon goddess decide my fate.The doctors called it a miracle. They used words like "remarkable" and "unprecedented" and "full recovery." They showed us scans of my liver, my kidneys, the baby growing strong and healthy in my womb. They smiled and shook their heads in wonder, as if they couldn't quite believe what they were seeing. I couldn't believe it either.The poison was gone. The antidote, whatever it contained, had neutralized every trace, repaired every damaged cell, and had given me a second chance at life. And the baby... our baby...

    Lori StewardThe prison was cold when I entered that I had to wrap my arms around myself to cover. And I realised it wasn't because of the air conditioning, but also because it was filled with metal bars and my footsteps echoed down the long corridor."Are you really sure you want to do this?" Dante asked for the umpteenth time, and I nodded in response."You've asked me already a thousand times." I told him. "Can you believe in me just this once? You've been the one stressing yourself and making most of the decisions, and putting yourself in harm's way just to keep the family safe. Allow me to do this, just this once...""But what if..." He sounded exasperated. "I don't just trust Renée, you know. She could do something. She could...""She will be in cuffs, Dante. What will she be able to do to me? Absolutely nothing. Everywhere is guarded. You're here and the prison wardens are everywhere. There's no way she would try something stupid."That seemed to make him relax, and he pressed

    Lori StewardLuca's temperature came down early in the morning, and I could finally take a deep breath. It has spiked at night, sending everyone into panic, but by the time the sun rose, the antibiotics that were administered finally did their work, and I was sitting beside him while waiting for the results of the new tests that had been run.Dante stood by my side, massaging my shoulders while admonishing me and telling me everything would be okay. Not long after, the door opened and the doctor walked in with a test result in hand. I breathed slowly in relief that the expression on her face wasn't grim."It was just a simple fever, Mr. and Mrs. Dominic." Her face softened with relief. "Nothing to do with the poison. His immune system is just slightly compromised from the stress of recent events. With good rest and medication, he'll be back to normal within a week."I felt my entire body sag with relief, and I was glad that Dante was here all along to slide his arm around my waist to

    JanieTheir first mistake was putting me in the hospital's holding cell while they prepared Silas for the surgery. They didn't want to risk having me escape on the way to the station, and they decided to keep me in here. I felt annoyed and irritated at the same time because what did they think they were doing? Who did they think I was? Had they forgotten I was still a werewolf and they left me with these humans? Humans so weak I could snap their head off if I tried a little hard. Didn't Silas remember that I was also one of the top warriors while Lori was playing house with him all in the name of being mated to him?What a joke! Fools. All of them.I tested the cuffs again, feeling the give in the chain that connected them to the chair. It was old, rusty and weak. And weakness meant I had a real opportunity.The guard outside my door was a young man, barely out of his teens. He had been assigned to watch me through the night, and he was already bored... I could hear him scrolling thr

    Silas CraneI sat with my face in my hands, my back pressed against the wall of the hospital."Well, fuck." Patrick slid down beside me, with his hands in his pocket. "There's just a lot going on in Lori's life. I wonder how she's faring..."Yeah... Lori was the one who took the biggest hit from all these, and it started from me, to not protecting her, and now... her daughter. When was this all going to stop? I thought more to the moon goddess than myself. What had she gotten wrong to deserve this kind of treatment?"She's so quiet and peaceful though... And she has your nose as well." Patrick whispered, and I lifted my head to watch my daughter who was currently sleeping peacefully in her city with a stuffed rabbit loosely clutched in her tiny fist.A warm smile spread across my face as I stared at my little bundle. "Yeah.. she does." I whispered back, wishing I could just carry her into my arms and hold her, but she had just gotten to sleep five minutes ago after fussing around unco

    JanieI ran until my lungs and my legs burned, but Silas still bounded behind me in wolf form. If it wasn't for the fact that I knew these trails like the back of my hand, I would have been caught by now.No. No. No.... This couldn't be it for me. I had everything planned out. I was just this close to winning. How could everything just change in a blink of an eye? Where did I go wrong? What gave me away? The phone was untraceable. So... What???"Janie!!!" Silas bellowed from the treeline. "Give up now and come with me.""So what? You'll kill me finally?" I shouted back, gasping for breath after my lungs stretched itself out. "Not if I can help it. I will kill you first and each and every one of you that has taken something from me!""No one has taken anything from you Janie. You're the one who is taking things from people, and you know it. You just like playing the victim when things don't go your way. You just derive joy in having a victim mentality! You think you can hide behind tha

    Lori's POV "You will be starting immediately as the team's medic. I will give you our training schedules." He paused and met my eyes from across the breakfast table. "I'm sure you're already well aware of it, but for formality sake." His cutlery barely made any noise on his plate. "Don't be late.

    Lori's POV "I'll need you to carefully read the terms and conditions of the contract before you sign it." He slipped the document on the hospital bed where I was having my breakfast. "I don't do second chances."His voice was hard and cold the same way it had been last night, and he towered over m

    Lori's POV "My children, oh my goodness. Are they... Are they...?" I sat up immediately, my hands moving around my belly, trying to see if I was feeling any pain there, if they were fine, if they were—"Your babies are fine, ma'am. Which is a miraculous thing after all your body has been through."
