LOGINThird personYella Caswell stormed out of the alpha’s office, her fist clenched and her face twisted. Her steps hastened, and her breath came out faster than normal. The moment she got into her car, she finally drew in a long breath, then her mind swayed back to the words of the strange girl...Her hands slowly reached for her stomach, and her breath instantly caught. Thinking back, it had been a while since she expressed the monthly pains, and worst, she had been craving more and more unusual things. Yella didn’t want to think she was pregnant, but the more she tried pushing the thought away, the more it resurfaced with evidence of its existence.“You’re glowing, my lady,” Elise had said a few days ago.And she wasn’t the only one who had noticed changes. Even her mother had commented on her new eating habits. Things she could not stand in the past had suddenly become her favorite, and as if that wasn’t enough, she had noticeably gained weight.“What was I thinking?” Yella whispered.
Third personLiora walked into the office, and Kael was standing on the balcony, a glass of whiskey in one hand and the other in his pocket. He was so deep in thought that he had not heard Liora step in.Liora didn’t walk up to him immediately.“You can stay out,” she told Bianca, who quickly stepped out, giving the couple some privacy.Liora leaned on the frame and watched him for minutes, and still, he hadn’t noticed her. His back was still turned to her, and he looked so dashing.“You should be consoling him and not checking him out,” Ora whispered, and Liora couldn’t help the heat on her face. Her cheeks blushed, and her eyes squinted.“I can’t help it... he looks ravishing.”Ora nodded. Their mate had always looked good, and not only that, he was the kind of man who got others charmed by his looks and his charisma. Certainly, Liora couldn’t deny the charms, and with the hormones acting up, it was even more difficult to deny.She just watched him. Whatever was eating him up, she d
Third personKael remained on the floor of the control room long after the call had ended. He didn’t know how to digest the news. His breathing was uneven, his fists clenched, and his eyes darkened. For years, they had believed a lie. They had moved on and forgotten a part that should never have been buried with the past.Beside him, Varik was just as hurt. All these years, he had watched Kael wish for the impossible. Every anniversary, he would say the same words.“Why didn’t death take me and not Emade?”She was only a day old. So young, so full of life. Yes, the fire came and swallowed everything. The little perfection that lived within that place turned barren overnight.The monitor continued to show Emade’s baby pictures one after the other as she grew. The nuns had done a wonderful job. She looked so delicate, her skin soft, and her smile radiated behind every captured flash. But then the truth he was about to open her to wasn’t so bright. Growing up without parents is one thing
Third personThat morning, the first message Alpha Kael got was the sealed file transfer from Darius. The moment the data arrived, Kael’s phone glitched a little before resisting whatever software the files came with, but unlike other phones, his was custom-made. A phone is very difficult to trace or hack, and, most importantly, he could make calls without revealing his location.“Varik...” Kael quickly woke up Varik, who yawned a little and then straightened up.“Seal the front.”Varik didn’t ask questions. He did as he was told, and the front guards were all dismissed, leaving only shadowy eyes watching from dark, unseen corners. The moment he retired back inside, Kael held his phone and walked over to the bookshelf. There, he picked up a book, one with a clean back arranged with other files, and immediately the shelf moved, revealing an inner passage. Kael and Varik stepped in, and it closed behind them.Within the shelf was a hidden control room unknown to anyone but three people.
Third personThat night, no one seemed to get any sleep. Emade had freshened up and settled inside the room given to her. As instructed, it was directly opposite that of the alpha and Luna. She was given clothes, new clothes that Liora never got to wear because of her pregnancy, and she looked marvelous in every one of them. They weren’t just made from top-quality fabrics, but the designs and styles didn’t look common.Emade sat on the soft bed, her head leaning against the soft pillow, but sleep didn’t come despite her aching body. Somehow, her mind couldn’t forget Kael’s touch, the way he stared at her like she was some lost jewel, and how her body warmly reacted to his touch. But what even baffled her was how boldly she had stood up to him. It was something she would never have done.Not even at work, as her employer turned her into a slave and made her work double; still, she had never complained or raised her voice beyond the required volume. But a few hours ago, she had not onl
Third personThe convoy reached DarkMoon, and the moment they stepped past the border, Liora leaned forward and carefully handed a hoodie to Emade.“You wear this, and no one should know your name... we will call you Eda till the alpha figures out what’s happening.”Emade didn’t understand a word, but she nodded.When they pulled over inside the mansion, she was all covered up, and without delay, Bianca led her upstairs while Liora waited for Kael.Kael didn’t say a word. He walked over and held his wife’s hand. Mrs. Agatha Whitmore and the others quickly gathered to greet the alpha and luna. Liora gave a smile, but Kael didn’t even glance once. He reached for the hand of his luna. She was having a little hard time climbing the stairs, so he accompanied her, and as they got to their room, Emade was inside the bathroom with Bianca.Liora had earlier instructed them to make use of theirs since a room was still to be prepared for Emade.Not long after, she walked out with her blond hair
Third PersonAlpha Kael stood outside as Helene rushed out, her body visibly shaking, and the sight of him only made her tremble more.“Alpha,” she forced the words out.Unlike Bianca and Nora, who couldn’t hear anything, he had heard it all. So without another word, he told Helene, “You may leave.
Third PersonEveryone had been digging tunnels on land they didn’t own, and so did Luna of Darkmoon.Ever since the first kick, she had been nothing but restless. Her body had always responded to Kael’s presence, his touch, the echo of his voice, and even his scent, but never did the baby react.Th
Third PersonAway from the grounds of Darkmoon was the Frostfang envoy; they had just arrived. Frostfang and the guards welcomed them back. Karine, who was absent-minded all through the trip, stormed to her room without delay, but soon after, a guard came calling.“The alpha demands your presence,
Third PersonEverywhere was quiet, but the lights in the Alpha’s study were yet to go out. Varik watched Kael review one file after another with no sign of retiring for the night.“Alpha…” he called cautiously.“Yes,” Kael answered without taking his eyes off the file in his hand.“Won’t… won’t you
