The 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 maki

    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

    Dante DominicThe nursery had never felt so empty as I stood in the doorway staring at the two bare cribs. Lori's sobs were so loud in the corridor that she was inconsolable."What happened? Is it true? I came as fast as I got the call..." Silas appeared beside me in a flash. I had heard his car come in, but I didn't bother to step out to welcome him. He would come on his own because this was partly his fault for letting Janie go unchecked."Lori..." His voice softened when he saw her and he went towards her to hold her. It took everything in me to keep my rage down. How dare he try to touch her in front of me? But then again... This wasn't the time and place to lose my shit. Lori needed all the support in the world right now. She had been through so much already.Not long after, my mother and sisters and the Stewards came to the house."How did it happen?""Who Is this Janie?""Has her location been traced yet?""Is she looking for ransom? How much is it, I will pay for everything!"

    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."

    Lori's POV"Stone the whore! She defiled the Alpha's bed!"Someone from the crowd roared in anger, and everyone else follows until over a hundred thousand werewolves were changing it. I was still on my knees, clutching my chest in pain from the searing pain of Silas' rejection when the first rock h

    Lori's POV"I'm pregnant, Lori." Janie's voice was barely above a whisper, and I spun around in shock, my heart already swelling with joy for my best friend."Janie! Oh my goddess!" I rushed across the VIP suite and threw my arms around her, squeezing tight. "That's incredible! I'm so happy for you

    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.
