MasukKatherine’s POVI had rehearsed how to tell him about my pregnancy a thousand times in one day.In the mirror and even in my dreams. I had imagined he would smile after hearing it or he would maybe scoop me up in his arms and finally profess his love for me.But I finally realized I needed to wake up from my hallucinations, so this morning, I didn’t practice or smile or even try to imagine his response.I just carried the file that he badly wanted in my hand and walked toward his roomI was going to inform him about this pregnancy after giving him the file, even though excitement in me had already burned out. All that was left was ash and a trembling kind of hope. A hope that he would accept my child, even if not me. I went to his door and knocked twice but there was no answer.I waited, before knocking again but no response.Maybe he wasn’t inside. He never spent much time in his room during the day unless he was working from there and if he wasn’t working, then I knew where he woul
KATEFLASHBACK Four Years ago I skimmed through the last page of the proposal, my fingers brushing the edges of the document as I reached for a sticky note. This campaign needed to be extremely perfect, clean and persuasive enough to keep Rafael’s company on top of the minds of every pack alpha on the council. That was what he wanted and he demanded of me.My pen hovered over the notepad, ideas forming in quick waves, when my phone rang beside the keyboard.“Hello?” I answered quickly, pushing the files aside.“Mrs. Katherine,” came the familiar voice of Dr. Keiran, the pack’s medical officer. His tone was way too light to be routine. “Your results came in this morning.”My heart skipped. I had been feeling very weak and nauseous for the past few weeks and so I decided to go for a check up, hoping for a particular result.“And?” I asked, half-holding my breath.There was a pause from him.“You’re three weeks pregnant.”My eyes and mouth flew open.“What? Are you sure?”“You’re three
Corvin's POV "What are you here for?" she hissed."It seems I'm not welcomed.""Clearly you are not," she retorted."I will leave you too alone," Claw said, taking her leave."Well I have good news.""Have you found Jace and Juliet?" She asked, her eyes searching mind pleadingly."Sadly no." She hissed as she returned to the laid out map in front of her."We were able to trace the location of some locals within the outskirts of the Palace and with Avala's findings we have discovered an unmonitored carriage movement.""Too late. Avala told me already.""Did she also tell you that they mentioned were caught?""What?" I asked, turning towards me."Where are my kids?" I started, "I mean the children.""They weren't found with them. So it ked us to believe that they are more of them in town. My men are also searching the hideouts the spies gave, so be rest assured they would be found."She was preplexed and said nothing. "Nothing should happen to me kids Corvin," she says softer now."N
Lyra's povOn my 15th birthday, my family decided I was worthless. I was told to either get a job or get out of the pack. I had no choice but to comply. Who am I?The lowest of the low, The weakest wolf in the entire Crescent Moon pack,Everyone's favourite plaything.Lyra, the loser. Me.A half-moon necklace and broken dreams was all I could hold on to ever since I was labeled “the trash” of the Safe family. And now, 3 years later, I'm wiping down the dirty booth tables of a bar in the centre of town.“Tequila and lime for Table 13!” Jax echoed as he shoved me an empty tray.The wooden tray slammed into my stomach but I ignored the pain and beamed him a small smile.“Tequila and lime coming right up.” Those words came out in a wheeze and Jax laughed, slapping my ass as I walked away. What an asshole.Ophelia, at the counter, mixed the drinks and set them on a tray. Then she leaned over the counter and passed it to me. I received it with thanks and turned it in when she called
NARAYA I spent a lot of time contemplating this idea. But the look of Roger's face—how he was behaving? It all told me I was winning.“Melissa would you like to hear how she took her revenge?” I said, dipping another sliced meat into my mouth.“Uh-hmm,” she nodded, eyes glowing.“After seeing all his betrayal, she—”Roger jerked, causing me to pause. His seats sent crashing back.The spoon in Melissa’s hand froze mid-air near her mouth. Silas dropped his next and the kids? They looked like they didn't recognise the man standing before them. I pressed my lips to stop a chuckle from escaping.Roger’s silver eyes narrowed, his fingers coiled into a fist. “Naraya I need to speak with you!” I dropped the fork in my hand carefully as I dapped the corner of my lips with the table cloth.“But—”“Shut up!” He growled. “I wasn't speaking to you!”The fork from Melissa's hand clattered on the golden plates. Her green eyes shot out.“I'm… I—” Roger stammered.“Alright. Who wants to play—” hi
Nadia's POV“Ouch,” a soft wince escaped my lips as I clutched my side.“Are you sure you are okay?” Adrian inquired, rushing to my side.I nodded, ignoring his hand for support. “I’m fine.”His brows arched downward with a twisted frown on his face, but he said nothing.We walked for a while, and just then I decided. “You go home… I have to go to the office.”“But you haven’t—”“I have a company to run… I have been away for a long while. I can’t afford to laze around at home.” I exhaled sharply. “As you can see, I’m fine. Isn’t that why we were discharged?”“You need rest,” he deadpanned, still holding the door to his car open.“I will rest when I get home,” I said, walking past him into one of his other cars, ordering the driver to head to the office.***The drive to the office lasted a short while, and to be sincere, I felt I should have taken Adrian’s advice as the stabbing pain in my abdomen refused to subside.“We are here, ma’am,” Eric called to my attention.“Thank you,” I mu
NARAYA“Tell me you are joking, Raya.” Zilla's eyes widened behind her glasses. I lowered my gaze, suddenly picking interest in tracing the lines in my palm.“I’m not.”“Geez, Raya, you are twenty-three, not eighteen. How could you let that happen?”Neither of us spoke for a moment as we let the mu
NARAYAMost wolves reluctantly settle for the option of a chosen mate only when they have completely exhausted all hopes of finding their fated mate after decades of waiting. Or perhaps when their true fated mate passes from this world—that’s also after years of emptiness and loneliness.But those
NARAYA“Roger… where are you?” Melissa's voice drifted down the corridor. Her heels echoing closer.The aggressive heat in Roger's eyes melted into a cold panic. He dropped his hand from my shirt, stepping back just enough to break the intimate space between us.“Play along,” he whispered, his orbs
NARAYA“Daddy? Who is this woman?”A cold, unexplainable ache ripped through my chest as the little boy’s words echoed in my head for a few seconds.My Roger... Daddy?I stared at Roger, waiting for an explanation. A laugh. An indication that the pup was lying, joking, or even wrong.But his face w
