ANMELDENMABEL.ONE WEEK LATER. The minute I stepped into the banquet hall dressed in a red flowy gown, the entire hall stood up. My heart was pounding with excitement for this moment. The moment when I got everything that I deserved, with everyone I have ever loved close to me. Not to mention the people who swore that I wouldn't become a supreme Alpha. The ones who called me a mere woman, a favored woman, a nobody. Now, they all stood side by side, dressed in their most expensive dresses while welcoming me into the hall. I took one steady stride between them, walking on the red carpet while cameras flashed left to right, capturing the moment. The gold jewellery adorning my body jiggled with each movement, sparkling under the bright chandelier light above. I kept a straight face, my lips tugged up in a smile while I acknowledged the people who raised their glasses to me.My eyes fell on Ralph first. He came all the way to this place to honour me. Next to him was Carl, who was actively drin
KYRAN.Mabel was curled in my arms, breathing softly with her eyes closed. I couldn't take my eyes off her no matter how much I tried. This scene. This part where I get to keep her close to me. I have only imagined it. I only made it up in my head. I never actually thought we could be this close. “Mabel,” I whispered her name. She let out a croaked response, then stretched her body before slowly opening her eyes. She looked exhausted. Her hair was a scattered mess, with a few strands straying to her face. “Mhm?” She hummed. I reached to tuck a strand of her hair behind her ears. But my fingers paused mid-air. I was still finding this difficult to believe. Still wondering how she forgave me. This has only ever happened in my dreams, and each time, I always woke up feeling empty. I have always yearned for the day she would look at me, and whisper how much she loved me. But no matter how many times I imagined it, or how many times I dreamt of it, it just doesn't happen in real life
MABEL.His hands on my face burned hot, and I somewhat leaned into it. The next second, my arms wrapped around his neck. I couldn't feel the floor anymore. It was as if I was floating in the air, and before I knew it, my back pressed onto the soft mattress behind me. That was when I actually opened my eyes to see the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen.His wolf was on the surface; his eyes were as red as blood, but his dark pupils were present. That simply meant he was still in control of everything that was happening. His fingers traced my jawline. I could feel the hesitation with every trace. The restraint he showed as he stared at my lips while gulping. “Mabel,” he whispered. “Mhm,” I hummed in response. The room suddenly felt too small. It was like the only thing that mattered was just the two of us pressed against each other like this, with the tension thrumming between us. “Do you know how long I have waited to hear you say you love me?” He asked. I couldn't reply to that
MABEL.I didn't stay back to listen to whatever they had to say to Kyran. Instead, I returned to the car to further process everything that I just learnt today. Karl was responsible for everything, and he was punished for it. As for the part where everyone's memories were erased, it was done by elders of crescent Zenith. I believed it because I have actually seen ancient scrolls containing memory erasing incense. I just wasn't certain, or convinced of its potency. I let out a very deep breath, then leaned on the backrest with my eyes closed. Everything that has happened these past few days kept replaying in my head like a jumbled mess. I opened my eyes again, then glanced down at the envelope. I have been granted the supreme position, and it will be made official soon. So far, it was all perfect except for two things. I heard the door open, and I returned the envelope into my pocket. I adjusted just a bit as Kyran entered the car before shutting the door. “Drive,” he said to the
MABEL. Walking into the court and finding Zachary, Silas, and Beaumont all looking lifeless was honestly not in my list of things to expect. I can't feel any energy from them, nor can I see their desire to kill me or dominate me as usual.I exchanged glances with Kyran. The elders sat on the raised platform above everyone else, looking down at us as if we were tiny insects they could crush at will.I bowed to them, all for courtesy’s sake. “We got the invitation,” I said. “I wonder why?” Bane was the one to stand up. “Isn't it obvious?” he asked, then took one step forward “Apolgies, elder, but it's not,” I replied. My voice was a bit hard. I was trying to suppress something. Anger maybe. Anger at the fact that they knew everything that was about to happen, and locked themselves away, allowing it to happen. Lives were wasted, but to them, it probably was another test? “These three Alphas colluded to bring harm to your people, and to the people of Darknile's pack. As an elder, i
MABEL. Two days later …I just recovered from everything that happened. The shock of the fact that I would have lost my own kids. When Evie hugged me two days ago, I prepared myself for the bad news. And when I saw that the main door had been bolted, my chest tightened. I expected to hear Evie cry to me and ask for my forgiveness, but none of that came. Instead, she told me that Kyra had been crying till she fell asleep, and that Arlan was worried sick after his first transformation, which I didn't get to witness. I didn't know which to feel first. Sadness that I wasn't there for him when he needed me, or happiness that everyone was okay? Certainly the latter. The heaviness in my chest lightened from that news, and everything felt complete.Kyran survived. My children and my parents were okay. My assistant and beta survived as well. And it was also good to learn that Ralph and Carl weren't killed in the fight. I had promised to take care of them, but I was too absorbed in my own
Mabel’s POV The moment Kyran picked up the pen and signed those adoption papers for Gena's child, something inside me just died completely, and any tiny bit of hope I had left for this marriage was gone. I didn't even feel like crying anymore, just went totally cold as I watched him hand the docu
Mabel’s POVThe moment I heard those nurses mention a celebration at the pack house, something inside me snapped completely, and before I realized it, I was already grabbing my coat and rushing out of the hospital room.“Luna?” the nanny called after me in confusion.“Stay with her,” I said quickly
Mabel’s POV“Kyran, how could you do this to your own child?” I gritted out, my fingers tightening around the phone until my knuckles turned pale. But no matter how angry or heartbroken I felt right now, I refused to let his foolishness cost my daughter her life.The pack had always hated me since
Mabel’s POVMy child’s cry echoed in the hospital room, and she had been in this condition for the past six months, living between machines, injections, and restless nights that never seemed to end, with just one month left. The doctors said the only thing that could save her would be a heart surg
