Yes, at least it was an additional company and after its birth I could finally feel the life of what it means to have a family."Yayyy" I exhaled excitedly, my major source of excitement wasn't about going out with him, it all laid on the fact that I could feel the fresh breath of the outdoor, locked in since my arrival into his pack, I bet even the graveyard would be more lively than his highly acclaimed mansion with no hint of liveliness, even the paintings exp
KAEL’S POV Seven days, seven nights since I stepped into my own house, I didn’t regret I should have just been careful for the baby. It's all because of the baby. With the presence of the baby, I could secure my continuity, if nothing at all, my father's legacy. Love wasn't for me. Not in the lifetime I was and not even the next. The only people who deserve to love and be loved are those who know what love means and have felt it from family. No woman can carry my child, no woman even dared to breathe in the same space as I, except Selena and Ava. “Alpha,” Jayden’s voice came calm and steady with the usual sly smile he always had on. He stepped in. It had been a week since we both spoke like friends the way we used to, I buried myself in work, 2 hours of sleep per day and just black coffee. It was just like old times before she appeared in my life. The care and tenderness I had for her were all because of the baby. She didn’t really matter, but the baby had to be sound and s

As a novel addict, I was familiar with it all, sub...dom.Kael slammed the door shut behind me. My eyes went round to take in the contents of the room.Everything screamed torture.For a moment, I was terrified, while the other I anticipated."What was that with Jayden?" He took a step closer, and I took one backwards until my back hit the door."He was just being kind." I defended, rolling my eyes at him."He's my Beta, you're not allowed to flirt with him, you're mine." He warned, gripping my left arm with force."Flirt?" I scoffed. " He tucked my hair behind my ear because it was clouding my vision. Are you going to rip his arm off for a simple act of courtesy? You might be the Alpha King, but you don't own me, and you certainly do not dictate who I can speak or not speak to."His eyes blazed with fury, and he closed the distance between us, caging me w
AVA'S POVKael thought I only realized that I'm his mate through his conversation with Jayden.Unfortunately, no.I've always had my wolf with me; no one knows cause it's a fulfillment of my mother's last wish. I could still vividly remember how she pleaded with me to hide my wolf away from the eyes of many.My wolf didn't vanish; I restricted my ability to shift into my wolf form.That night, I wouldn't have given myself to Kael if he wasn't my mate, I was willing to give him my first night because he's my mate, but his sudden behavior wasn't what I expected, I didn't even imagine we could meet again.

AUTHOR'S POV “Kael,” Ava began, clearing her throat softly. “We… we need to talk about that night.” “That night? What about that night?” He smirked, “I thought we had talked about that night, Ava. Extensively. ” “No, we didn't,” she insisted. “Not that part of the night. Not the part where you… we… You know.” Her cheeks flushed in embarrassment. "Then what part?" Ava took a deep breath; this was the moment. “You were there,” she stated, “You were working. As a bartender." “Ava,” he finally said, his voice gentle, “I was not a bartender.” Her jaw dropped, "What? But… but you were! I saw you! You were wiping down the counter, pouring drinks for people, you even gave me a drink." Her cheeks heat up as the memory of her drunken state came back to her mind, and she stopped speaking. "You're right about that." His smile deepened.“But you are quite mistaken about my profession that night, little one.” “It is one of my many hideouts and often… a good place to gather informat
KAEL'S POV "Selena!" I exclaimed in frustration. I finally had time to talk things out with Ava, and she was here to ruin it all, the wonderful moment we could have had if she hadn't interrupted. Selena stood in front of the door, arms folded, back against the wall. " Selena, what?" She retorted, and I detached myself from Ava's embrace. " Leave Selena," I commanded, but I knew how adamant Selena could be, she wouldn't back down, at least not easily. " Leave? No, I should introduce myself to the new toy around." Selena commented while Ava just watched both of us exchange words. " I'm Selena, and I'm his chosen mate and future Luna of this pack. I'm also the strongest warrior in the pack, and we have been together since we were kids, which implies that we are childhood sweethearts." Selena introduced herself to Ava, and I stared at her with my mouth wide open. I never for once realized that I was childhood sweethearts with Selena, not until she said we were, and that's Se
