Seriously, Giselle? A one-night stand?
[FLASHBACK]I was eight, and Gretta and Caden were thirteen.I didn't understand why my day felt so ruined every time I saw Caden Einsworth inside the house with my sister, Gretta. He was like a puppy that kept on following her wherever she went, and I hated it.I hated it so much.And I didn’t know why.“Stop being mean to him, Giselle! He is just trying to help me with my math, okay?” Gretta was so mad that she stormed into my room after she found out that I told his ‘puppy’ that she wasn’t home when he called for her. It was unfortunate for him that I was the person who got to answer the phone.I raised an eyebrow at her. I didn’t care that she was upset. She was always like that, so it wasn’t new to me anymore. “What? I told him the truth! You were not inside the house! What do you want me to do? ”“I was only in the garden!” She fumed at me as if I were not making sense to her. “You could’ve just told him to come over!”Frowning, I answered, “He was just here yesterday!” “So wha
“It should be next week or the third week of this month,” Dr. Miller uttered after she checked on me. Caden gazed at me with worry in his eyes, while Marissa seemed delighted by the news that she would finally meet her grandchild any time soon. Caden panicked when I told him my hips were killing me that morning, and so he called Dr. Miller, fearing that I was already in labor.“It happens.” Dr. Miller smiled at both of us. She seemed excited as well about the baby: “It’s called false labor. There will be pain until your body is ready to give birth, Giselle. But if anything happens, like heavy bleeding, you should call me right away.”“Thank you.” Caden smiled at Dr. Miller. Even though something was already going on between me and Caden, my insecure heart still couldn’t handle the jealousy when he smiled at other women in front of me. My wolf and I were that kind of possessive.Dr. Miller kindly smiled at me before she made her exit, and Marissa joined her. I wondered what the two ta
“What are you doing!? ”I found three maids inside the baby's room, taking all the yellow stuff outside. Emilia visited me this morning to check on me, and all I did was embrace her, thanking her for the warning she gave me. After all that, I decided to visit the baby room and was aghast when I saw that the maids had moved all the things that Caden had bought the first time we went outside together.“I am so sorry, Miss. The Regent Luna ordered us to get rid of all this stuff from the baby room. I think she hated the color,” one of the maids replied with an anxious face while carrying the yellow baby bathtub. “We are not even sure where to put all these things.”“You can’t—”“Just put them all in the garage.”My eyes widened as I turned around and saw Marissa behind me. She was tall, so I was forced to look up at her and ask, "Why are you doing this?” I was feeling so upset. “You can’t throw all these things away! Caden bought them for the baby!”“Oh, I am not going to throw them all
“No! You can’t force me to go back to that place!” I snarled at the sophisticated lady as she waved her long, sharp fingernails in front of me, like she was trying to intimidate me. Even Madz was wary of her, and I should follow my instinct to not go anywhere near the Regent Luna. My inner wolf told me she was a dangerous shifter, despite her age."How did you know Giselle was here!?" Madz snarled at the old lady.The uninvited visitor laughed, "Oh, that's too easy, darling! The receptionist! She informed me that this young lady entered the hotel. This is Einsworth's property, and you are within our territory, darling! Of course, I would know everything that happens here."It was clear what she wanted. Caden’s mother wanted me back when she gestured to her bodyguards to get me.“Oh, my son has a feisty one here!” She laughed tauntingly while giving me a disgusted look. “I know who you are in Caden’s life, and I can’t let the whole world know this horrible scandal you two made! You hav
I didn’t know what to do.Everything happened so fast.“Here, get in here, Miss,” Emilia whispered with a flustered face, glancing at the back door of the kitchen as if she were scared someone would catch us. “Please go somewhere where the Regent Luna can’t find you! You can’t let her know you are carrying the Alpha’s heir!"I frowned. I wanted to think that Emillia was just overreacting, but I could see the terror in her eyes. The woman she was referring to, who happened to be Caden's mother, was a terrible person. I never knew Caden’s mother, although my dad used to be friends with Caden's dad. She never attended any of my dad’s dinner invitations with the Einsworths. I remember that she disliked attending her husband's business meetings with the other packs. I didn’t know what kind of fate awaited me once she found out about my situation in this household. Will she recognize me as one of the daughters of the Alpha of the Greyfur Pack?And why was there a car outside the main kitc
“Caden! You can’t just cuddle with me whenever you want to.”“Why not? ”I bit my lower lip.He was behind me, cuddling me from the back. His arm gently wrapped around my waist as he caressed my baby bump. I felt my pup kicking inside me, like he or she could feel her dad from the inside. The feeling made me smile, though. It brought me some kind of happiness I had never felt before. I felt love in the way he rubbed his fingers on my belly like he couldn’t wait to see his pup. His heir.“Mmm, just let me stay here tonight. This whole day made me worn out, and I need to recharge.” He kissed my nape, which tickled me.I wanted to turn around and look him in the face. I wanted to see his amazing, soft green eyes, despite how exhausted he was. I wanted to stare at his pinkish lips. I wanted to claim them and feel him more, but I knew I couldn’t. It was good to wish for many things, but I knew I would only get hurt in the end.“Fine. Just tonight,” I whispered to him as I stared out the wi
