Marcel’s P.O.V*** Baby Shower ***Strings of pink, white, and silver balloons floated gently in the sunlit garden. Tulips, daisies, and peonies decorated every corner while I stood amidst it all, staring around like a proud dad. I had canceled all my schedule just to participate in the decoration after inviting a team of event planners from Thailand. As a smile formed on my face, the only thought that coursed through my mind was how Elodie was going to love this.I could already picture the look that was going to be on her face when she stepped into the garden later in the evening. All of a sudden, I was jolted out of my thoughts when a maid stood before me and on getting my attention, she lowered her head. “Sir, the popular cake corner called concerning how the delivery was going to be late. They claimed that there was a mix-up with the cake decorations”“I would be going alongside the head servant to monitor the progress of the cake. We will ensure that it gets here before the b
Elodie’s P.O.VOh my. The necklace looked pretty on me. I trailed my fingers on the necklace and stared at my reflection in the mirror, that was when the reality hit me that Silver wasn’t back with my phone yet. He didn’t know where he dropped his phone tablet and pleaded with me to give him my phone so he could call his dad. “Could he be playing games on my phone?” I muttered to myself, standing up and that was when it dawned on me that even my hair stylist wasn’t back yet. I glanced at her empty cup of juice and darted my eyes back to mine which was still untouched. “What could she be taking downstairs?” I muttered to myself, opening the door to the room, and stepping out while calling for Silver’s name. But the only response I got was his name which returned as echoes in my ears. Something was wrong.What was going on? Walking down the hallway, relief flooded through me when I saw Aunt Nadia sleeping on the couch next to the vase of flowers. “Aunt Nadia, you should go into
Elodie’s P.O.VThe clouds darkened, thunder rumbling through the sky while I stood rooted to the same spot frozen. The rain first started like a gentle patter but in the next minute, the rain enveloped me totally, soaking my clothes as my hair clung to my face. I was too numb to speak. Too shocked to even wrap my head around what had happened. I could barely move my legs but I mustered the courage and dragged my feet towards the railings, staring down at Darius's lifeless body. His blood that soaked the metal spikes was being washed away by the rain that fell heavily. I should be relieved that he was dead…But the more I stared at his lifeless body, the more dread settled at the pit of my stomach and I saw myself on the metal spikes. My breath came in ragged gasps as I gripped the railings and that was when the images of Ezra spurting out blood flashed through my mind. My shoulders sagged and the more I gripped the railings, the more different emotions crashed over me. I crumbled
Epilogue **After One Year** The setting sun cast a golden glow over the ethereal surroundings as the sound of waves crashing in the distance echoed through my ears. My heart pounded against my chest in anxiety despite the excitement that bubbled deep within me. The air hung heavy with anticipation and on exchanging fleeting glances with the triplets who keep taking pictures of me with their cameras, I shot a wink at them. Silas gesticulated before he mouthed. “Daddy, don't overdo the smile. Smile, like this” I did just as he had said while the guests laughed at the silent conversation between Silas and me. I gave Silas a thumbs-up while Silver gave a gentle applause that was almost inaudible. Sage on the other hand sat next to Aunt Nadia, Leah, and Axel who carried both Elysia and Daisy in his arms while Sage made funny faces to them. Staring at the scene before me, I fiddled with my fingers in anticipation, carefully waiting for my bride. “She is here” Someone murmu
Chapter One Elodie’s P.O.VA scream tore from my lips piercing through the graveyard, tears cascading down my cheeks as I sank to my knees, clutching the dead rose. Raindrops began to fall, mingling with the tears while soaking my clothes that clung to my skin perfectly. Lightning flashed intermittently, casting brief, stark shadows and my lips wobbled, muttering. “Zack…..my son”It has been two years since I lost my first child and still, I never moved on from his death. In a marriage that was filled with nothing but turmoil and ill-treatment, Zack was the only thing that made sense.In a silent plea, I stared up at the sky. “Moon goddess, please wake him up. Please…..” I muttered in a choked whisper. Slowly as the rain tapered off, it soon hit me that I was the only one in the graveyard. Today was his death anniversary yet no one visited him. Not even his grandparents who victimized the urgent need for an heir and most importantly, not even Darius, my husband honored his anniver
Chapter TwoElodieMy heart shattered into innumerable irreparable pieces as Susan strutted off, her hips swaying by her side. The air thickened with tension and when I raised my head, the guests fixated on me, their gazes heavy with a mixture of disgust and contempt.They all hated me. They all despised me because I ended up being the one becoming the Luna and the fact they believed the narrative of me being the one trapping him with the pregnancy shattered my heart into pieces. They totally had no idea about what happened so how could they stare at me with so much disdain?Darius saved me on the night of a party when I was almost sexually assaulted by a drunkard. That was when I fell in love with him.One thing led to another and we had a one-night stand which led to my pregnancy. My father being an influential member and the head of the council wouldn’t allow me to conceive out of wedlock neither would Darius’s late grandfather.Then, Darius pleaded with me to abort the pregnanc
Chapter Three Elodie's P.O.V It was now evident that not only was the moon goddess against me but the whole universe. In the span of a week, I was divorced and thrown out of the pack house and to worsen it, my father passed away in a coma. Everything fell apart for me! My brothers coveted everything that my father had, leaving me with nothing! This was just too much for me and I didn’t deserve half of the pain that I received. I lost everything. My marriage, my position, my inheritance, and most importantly my father. Wiping off my tears with the back of my hands, Doctor Patel flashed me a faint smile as he sat before me. “Elodie, I am sorry for your loss….” I hung my head low in despair and the tears that I had been trying so hard to hide cascaded down my cheeks like a free fall. “You said that he was going to get better, Dr Patel” My voice was barely above a whisper as I clutched my chest. Doctor Patel leaned forward with his forearms on the table. “Believe me Elodie, h
Chapter Four Darius’s P.O.VAfter Eight Years Exchanging pleasantries with the other Alphas, a bright smile formed on my face as Alpha Damian complimented me. “Very soon, your daughter Amelia will become the top gymnast in the country. Not only is she smart for her age but she is so talented”A smile that depicted my pride crossed my face and I clinked glasses with him. “She takes after me and that is why she is so smart. I was really proud when she came home with a gold medal. She is just seven, yet she makes me so proud”Amelia, my beloved daughter. She was the evidence of the love that I shared with my mate, Susan. Amelia was the child that I had always wanted— Smart, competent, and talented.Alpha Liam, the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack snapped me out of my reverie as he fixed his gaze on me. “The auction would be starting in the next twenty minutes. I hope that you are prepared, Alpha Darius”Forcing out a smile, I moved closer to him, placing a hand on his shoulder while star
