The Alpha's Return A tale to tell our son
Arabella’s POVI couldn’t believe it... a boy. A baby boy! Despite always envisioning myself with a daughter, the overwhelming happiness of expecting a son filled me with joy.As the blue confetti settled on the ground, I sank to my knees, my hands immersed in the vibrant colour, feeling the excitement and love that surrounded me.“Congratulations.” Susie's voice came from behind me. “Sara wanted you to pop a balloon, but I convinced Leo this would be better. I hope you enjoyed it.”“I love it. Thank you so much,” I replied, turning to look up at her. Susie extended her hand, helping me to my feet.Placing a hand on my belly, I shared with Susie that this would surely be a tale to tell our son when he grew older. The unexpected joy of discovering the gender of our baby boy had created a memory that would be cherished and shared for years to come, a reminder of the love and excitement that surrounded his arrival.As the gender reveal came to an end, I was beyond worn out. My face achin
The Alpha's Return Waiting for the other shoe to drop
Leo’s POVOnce Arabella drifted off to sleep, I carefully extricated myself from her embrace and slipped on a pair of shorts. Walking towards the bedroom door, I paused and smiled as she whispered in her sleep.Today had surpassed all my expectations. Joel had agreed to our adoption proposal, the pack had a great time, and learning we were having a son was the cherry on top.Stepping out into the corridor, I closed the door gently behind me. A glass of warm milk was something I had developed a craving for, thanks to Arabella’s pregnancy and the bond we shared as mates, but I also wanted to check on Joel.Reaching his door, I tapped into Shadow's senses, listening through the wood that separated us. I could hear his soft snoring and steady heartbeat, indicating he was deep in sleep.Carefully turning the door handle, I pushed it open and stepped inside.‘My son,’ whispered Shadow as he peered out through my eyes.I crept towards his bed and just stood there quietly, listening to him br
The Alpha's Return It’s not like you were going to need that anymore
Arabella’s POVI could see the fear in his eyes as the pain radiated through him. But I didn’t care. All I cared about was making sure he felt the same fear he instilled into his son and wife, every time he raised a hand to them.Dropping the bone to the floor, I thought about what else I could do to him. Looking over at the table that sat to the side, I noticed some wolfsbane.Picking it up, it burned, but it would burn him more. Walking back to where the sorry excuse of a man sat, I forced the wolfsbane up and into his wound.As his screams became more desperate, Leo stepped behind him and placed his hands over his mouth to muffle out the noise.His eyes began to droop as the wolfsbane flowed through his bloodstream. But I wasn't about to let him fall unconscious.Taking a small knife from the interrogation tool kit, I placed the tip on his other thigh. I trailed it up gently, and just as his eyes were about to close, I plunged it into his scrotum. As the adrenaline kicked in, his e
The Alpha's Return Nobody will know it’s him
Arabella’s POV"What did you do with the body?" I asked as I took another breath."Arabella, you're in bloody labor. We'll talk about that later.""That's the point, you idiot! I want something to distract me." He looked at me with a puzzled expression."I've asked a guard to dump him away from here.""You really are stupid... Ahh!" I screamed as another contraction hit."Remember the other night when I told you that you were being a bitch? You're being one now. I'm trying to help you. You asked me a question, and I answered it.""Help me? You DID this to me. You impregnated me, and I am in OH so much pain because of YOU!” I grunted back."Nobody will know it's him. There is no way to identify him, so stop panicking," he reassured me, rubbing my back as he spoke.The next contraction was by far the worst. I clutched at the edge of the bed, my breaths turning into frantic gasps. Glancing over at the door, panic threatened to overtake me as I realised the doctor still wasn't here."Leo.
The Alpha's Return Motherly paranoia
Leo’s POVThe following morning, I awoke to a sight that brought a smile to my face. Arabella was leaning over the baby's basket, her finger hovering near his tiny nose as she checked for signs of life. The baby was sleeping peacefully, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm, his heart beating strong and steady.I couldn't help but chuckle at Arabella's motherly paranoia, her need to ensure our son's well-being even in his most peaceful moments. The love and protectiveness she felt for him were evident in every action, every gesture.My laughter caught her attention, and she turned around to find me watching her. In response, she playfully punched my shoulder. With a playful grin, I reached out and gently grabbed Arabella's shoulders, pulling her back towards me. As she turned in my arms, a smile lighting up her face, she snuggled close against me. I wrapped my arms around her, holding her tight, and feeling the steady beat of her heart against mine.“I suppose we should get
The Alpha's Return It’s ok to be scared
Arabella’s POVAs time flew by, Joel's sixteenth birthday was just around the corner. While for humans it might have been just another birthday, for our kind, it held far greater significance.His birthday coincided with a full moon, signifying that he would undergo his first shift. Leo had been preparing him for the transformation, emphasising the potential pain that accompanied it. However, we held onto hope that with Leo's Lycan blood coursing through his veins, Joel wouldn’t suffer too much.Despite our initial excitement about throwing a party to celebrate his birthday, he seemed to avoid the topic whenever it was brought up. It wasn't until we sat down as a family to discuss the idea that Joel finally opened up about his reluctance.He revealed that every party he had ever had in the past had been ruined by his father's drunken behaviour. My heart sank as I realised the pain and disappointment that Joel had carried with him from those past experiences.We understood his feelings
The Alpha's Return Happy birthday
Leo’s POV"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Joel, happy birthday to you!" We all sang in unison, our voices filling the room.Joel's face flushed with embarrassment as Kate dimmed the lights, and Arabella emerged, carrying a cake topped with a flickering candles."Make a wish!" Kate called out enthusiastically, but Joel responded with a playful glare. We all shared a laugh as Kate playfully raised her hands in surrender, knowing that the birthday boy was not one for making wishes.Arabella had reluctantly agreed to celebrate Joel's birthday at home, but she made no promises about not participating in the traditional singing over a cake.Cheers erupted as Joel blew out the candles on his birthday cake, a small smile gracing his face. I took the cake from Arabella's hands as Miles began to cry, allowing her to tend to him, but Joel beat her to it."I'll take him, and you go get yourself some cake," Arabella suggested, but Joel declined.“I'll get some in
The Alpha's Return Different
Arabella’s POVThe moment Joel's shift was complete, I sank to my knees. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I took in the sight before me.Joel’s wolf approached me, taking a few steps closer before gently laying down and placing his paw on my lap."Oh sweetheart, you're beautiful," I managed to choke out through my sobs, that were filled with nothing but love and pride for the magnificent creature he had become.I turned to Leo, who was standing behind me, and asked, "Doesn't he look amazing!" Leo nodded in agreement but then took a step forward. With his gaze fixed on Joel's wolf, he gently pulled me back."Can you sense it?" Leo asked, his words leaving me puzzled."Sense what? What are you talking about?" I questioned, rising to my feet."His wolf, its aura," Leo clarified. In that moment, I understood. I had felt a shift in Joel’s aura, but neither I nor my own wolf sensed any threat."Joel, it's time to shift back now, buddy," Leo's voice sounded tense as he called out to Joel.I
