“Please don’t leave me.” He pleaded “I never felt this way before, not even about my mate. I…I know I shouldn’t say that but that’s what it is. I am telling the truth. Just give me a chance. I promise I won’t blow it up. I am sorry for earlier. I really am.” My heart was beating erratically. “I know you don’t believe me but you will. I know you will. You make me feel alive again, complete. Just…Please.” He begged.
I freed my hands from his. Hurt crossed his eyes. He hung his head. He looked defeated.
Shit! I didn’t mean to hurt him.
I hugged him without thinking twice, my hands around his neck but my belly came in the way so I was bent awkwardly. I heard him gasp in realization. His hands wound around me and he pulled me on his lap. He buried his nose in my hair.
I don’t know why I did this but it felt right. Maybe we are each other’s second chance or maybe n
I woke up to a sleeping Daniel spooning me. I pried his hands off of my body as slowly and gently as possible so he wouldn’t wake up. I pulled the duvet off and climbed of the fluffy cloud known as bed. I picked Daniel’s T-shirt from the floor, courtesy of our activities from last night and wore it. Can’t walk around naked in the house, can we? His T-shirt came almost to my knees so it’s more like a dress. What can I say? He is a giant compared to my short self. I went in the bathroom and freshened up. Hmm I need coffee. I got out of the bathroom and wore my shorts. I quietly padded out of our room and opened the kids’ room to find them sleeping soundly. Well it’s still early in the morning. They won’t be up for a while. I descended the stairs and entered the kitchen. I made my coffee and went in the porch to sit, enjoying the fresh air of the forest and the sunrise. The sun is just starting to peak. If six years ago anyone would
When the twins were almost two, I found out I was pregnant again. I was scared out of my mind to tell Daniel about it. I didn’t know how he would react. I eventually told him after Lizzy threatened me to shout it out in the training field. Well you don’t want to mess with a pregnant hyper hormonal Lizzy. She was two months pregnant at that time. Daniel was so happy, he had a huge grin plastered on his face for next few days and he looked utterly stupid. That did not mean he loved the twins any less. He was just happy to have another child. He did not let me do anything around the house for the entire seven months, which to tell the truth was utterly frustrating sometimes. What are you supposed to do all day to kill the time? I don't have enough patience to weave a sweater if I knew how to but I don't. There is a limit to the extent a person could eat and sleep but Daniel wouldn't budge. Xavi was ecstatic about the upcoming baby but Cece, she was upset that he
At five we were at the airport. Lizzy and Liam are also coming with us. I didn’t know Beta and Beta female also have to attend the ball. I am glad she is coming though. I would have been too overwhelmed with that many strangers in one room. I am not a people person at all. We are taking Aby with us as she is too young to be left behind alone or with a relative. Adrian and Peter are looking after the kids including Harper at our house. We settled in the plane with our luggage in place. The plane took off. Aby went back to sleep immediately. We reached there at five thirty in the morning. Aby slept through most of the journey so she won’t be fussing later. The Alphas and Betas which have packs far away are coming early and staying at the palace. I hope they have that many rooms available to host so many people. The palace is somewhere near the border of Asia and Europe. It’s an hour drive from the airport to the palace. We were shown to our rooms and I flopped right do
Someone tugged at my pants. I looked down to find the second youngest princess looking at me curiously. I smiled at her. She looked almost nine or ten. Then she sniffed me. I felt Daniel tense. “I like your scent. It’s different.” She said looking at me with big adorable eyes. I looked at Daniel awkwardly. I didn’t know what to say. Is it a good thing or bad thing? “Yeah I noticed that too.” The king interjected. “You have an unusual scent.” “I don’t know what you are talking about.” I murmured confused and a little scared. This is not how we thought the ball will be going. I hope my stupid scent won’t cause any problems. “You are a human right?” He asked. I nodded. “This scent usually belongs to the royals and their mates after they are marked by the royal. I don’t know why you carry this particular scent but it’s quite interesting. A human with the scent of a royal werewolf.” He said. The older two kids were also paying atten
“Do you think they suspected Aby of being an early shifter?” Lizzy asked breaking the tense silence. “The king suspected I think.” Daniel said sighing. Aby jumped on the bed and shifted back, oblivious to the tension the elders in the room were going through. She curled up on the bed and closed her eyes, going back to her nap. Eve seemed to be in some sort of trance. She was worried that her children would be taken away from her. How can these people expect her to give up her children when they are just toddlers? Daniel nudged Eve to get her attention. “Are you alright?” He asked with concern. “I am worried that they will take away our kids.” Eve said worried. “Do you think I will let them take away our pups? Even if our kids are mated to the royals, I won’t let them take our kids away till they are of age so don’t worry about it. I won’t let anyone break my family. We have an important party to attend in the evening. I hope everything
“Wow.” They both said at the same time looking at each other. “You are looking gorgeous.” Lizzy complemented. “Say that when you look in the mirror.” Eve gushed, grinning at Lizzy. They both started laughing. The door opened and in came Daniel and Liam. As soon as they saw their mates, their mouths fell open in admiration. Lizzy and Eve smirked at them but they too were eyeing their mates. “The ball is starting.” Liam said clearing his throat, his eyes not leaving Lizzy at all. “Shit I didn’t get Aby’s ready.” Eve said with wide shocked eyes. “I will give her a quick bath. Get her clothes out.” Daniel said removing his suit jacket, smirking at his mate’s expressions. Lizzy and Liam were busy laughing at their expense. Daniel woke Aby up and gave her a bath. Eve put her in her purple long dress which puffed out from the waist. Lizzy combed Aby’s hair and put a hairband with stones in her hair, her golden locks following down her
“I am sorry. I really am. Please forgive me.” Damien said stepping closer to Eve. Daniel growled in warning at him but Damien ignored him. He wanted his mate back at any cost, even if he had to kill anyone. She belonged to him. “I wasn’t thinking what I was doing at that time. I was foolish to treat you like that. Please come back to me. I missed you so much baby. I searched for you all these years. Your place is with me, by my side and ruling my pack with me. Come back with me.” At this point Damien was standing right in front of Evelyn. She kept looking at him with deep loathing clearly evident on her face. She couldn’t believe the audacity of the person standing in front of her. “I hate you. I am never coming back with you or to you. So stay away from me.” Eve said with all the hate she could muster. Daniel, Lizzy and Liam moved closer to Eve in a protective stance. None of them trusted the Alpha standing in front of them. “Alpha Damien” The
‘It should be me standing beside Evelyn and with our pups not that mutt’s.’ Damien thought. “Isn’t she adorable?” Caiden’s mate squealed looking at the pup in Daniel’s arms. “Can I hold her please?” She asked a bit reluctantly. “I am Cindy by the way. Caiden’s mate.” “Yeah sure.” Daniel replied smiling. He passed Aby to Cindy and she cooed to Aby making the little one giggle. Caiden smiled looking at his mate playing with the pup. He always wanted pups but didn’t had the luck so far of having one. “She is adorable.” Damien said through gritted teeth. This shocked everyone. He was smiling looking at Aby but on the inside he was seething with anger. ‘He is trying to change.’ Evelyn thought. The thought from earlier troubled Eve again. “Daniel I want to discuss something with you.” Eve said to Daniel “In private.” She added. Damien didn’t like it one bit that his mate and his brother were acting all couple together
