This is where the second book ends (yay). I’m ending it here because I felt that the storyline was starting to get too long for one book. This means that there’ll be a third book, but (drumroll) it’ll be part 2 of this one. But I’m calling it Mates and Temptations because The Pains of Guilt Part 2 didn’t sound catchy. And as a special little something, I added a bonus chapter after this one and a little blurb about the third book. I don’t have an exact date for when I’ll release book 3 because when it comes to my writing, I hate deadlines (they make me rush things and it affects the quality of my writing). The only reason I had one for this book is that I already had a lot of chapters ready for release long before I finished the first book. Anyway, book 2 will be available for purchase from retailers around mid-January or the first week of February (there's a ton of editing I need to do while also working on book 3). Blurb: Twilight and Trey have finally reconciled and accepted each
1. Book 2 was never planned. It’s literally based on me putting two brain cells together to come up with ideas cuz the first book exhausted the rest of my brain cells, and I obviously didn’t expect to be writing a book 3. I was going to write one, but now it’ll be book 4 (we’ll get to that another time). 2. Natsumi’s name was originally Hakumei because it translates to twilight. Then I changed it to Koharu (which means little sun) because of her blonde hair, but I decided to make it Natsumi because...I just liked it better ok. 3. Back to the second point, Natsumi was originally blonde like Takumi, but I changed her colour to black to make the genetics thing a little more realistic. 4. In the beginning, Twilight and Trey were already supposed to be together (as in during those three years, she and Trey made up), but I don’t know why I didn’t add it in. 5. Twilight wasn’t supposed to have two wolves, but I thought it would be cool, so I added that. 6. Twilight and Trey were suppose
Third-person POVThree years have passed since Twilight had last seen Takumi. It was bad enough that she was hurt by her mate. Again. But this time, someone decided that her life wasn't enough of a mess, and she was pregnant.In the end, she decided to keep it, which wasn't a bad thing per se because sooner or later, she’d need an heir, which saved her the trouble of IVF rounds. Plus, she highly doubted that she’d be blessed with a third mate to have pups with because things are supposed to work with the first or second mate. She also wasn't keen on being blessed with another one either. And as ridiculous as it sounds, Tis also gave up on the idea of a mate and she was inactive for a whole month. All the poor wolf wanted more than anything was a mate, not an arm and a leg.She didn't tell anyone the full story though. The only thing she said was that things between them didn't work out and that it just wasn't meant to be. The only person who knew was Mitsuri and she promised not to te
Twilight POVI was out visiting a faraway pack with Mitsu. Natsumi was restless, even with the minion plushie that she can’t live without, so I had to bring her along.On the way back, I stopped at a nearby gas station to stretch my legs and use the restroom.“Mitsu, can you grab some snacks with Natsumi? I don’t think the ones left will last her long. You can take my purse. There should be some cash in it, otherwise, feel free to use any one of the cards”“Got it.”Just as I was heading back to the car, I bumped face-first into someone and landed on my ass. I wish I had looked where I was going.“I’m sorry, miss. I didn’t see you there.” Someone said and helped me up.“It’s ok. I wasn’t looking where I was going.”As if embarrassing myself wasn’t enough, Tis kept ringing the words “mine” and “mate” in my ears. I did feel those little sparks during that brief moment of contact and his strangely familiar scent was drawing me in a little… hell no. Not today or ever. Seriously, who the h
Twilight POVSora and I met up at a park.“I can’t get over how precious she is. What’s her name?”“Natsumi. She’s turning two in August.”“She's even more precious now. You better watch out because I might kidnap her one day.” She joked.“Short Stuff, funny running into you here.” Seriously, who else, that I know, will pop up? I have nothing against Hansuke, but still.“Speaking of, since when did you start babysitting?” He asked Sora.“Technically, it's not babysitting if the mom is next to me.”“You mean...” He turned to me. “Since when? And how come no one thought to tell me?”“Actually, Takumi doesn’t know,” Sora explained. “I tried to tell her to change that though.”“I don't mean to be harsh but I'm with Sora on this one. I think he should know.”“See? I told you.”“Alright alright. I'll tell him if it means you two will stop whining about it. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to take her home. It's past her nap time and she gets very restless if she doesn't take her nap.” I got
Twilight POV“You made it,” Sora said.“I said I would, right?”“May I hold her?”“That’s honestly up to her.” I put her down. “I think hand-holding won’t be an issue, but again, it’s up to her.”When we walked in, a familiar scent hit my nose. It must be that guy I bumped into the other day. Great, just when I thought I’d never see him again.“Sora, do you have a guest or something?”“Yeah. I’ll be right back though.”She left with Natsumi. Weird. Just when I thought things couldn’t get worse, I could smell the scent getting closer. Why me? It’d be pretty pathetic to try and hide so that option’s off the table. It’s ok. Just ignore him, or at least try to.“Sora, what’s taking so…”You know those moments where you feel like screaming at the top of your lungs while pulling your hair out of its follicles? I’m having that moment. I also felt like an idiot because I should’ve known Sora would’ve brought her idiot brother too. Again, why me?“Uh… hey?”I wasn't going to stick around so I
Takumi POV“Who said I was?” She asked.“Then it's true.”“I didn't say that it is.”“And you didn't deny it either. So, which is it?”“Fine. It's true, I was pregnant. So what?”I honestly didn’t expect her to admit it right away but then again, she’s a terrible liar so I would’ve gotten the truth either way.“How did you know?” She asked.“Sora dropped a hint by asking me if anything unusual was going on with you before we split. I remembered all the weird things that were going on with you. I didn’t want to believe it because of the pills but I guess the effects wore off. And it made everything make sense. Why didn't you tell me when you found out?”“I told you that I'm not your problem anymore, so you don't have to bother yourself with me.”“Were you ever going to tell me?”“Obviously not. What part of “you're dead to me” was unclear?”I won’t lie, her words cut deep.“So, how's the baby?”“I don't think that it's any of your concern.”“Actually, because I'm the father, it is.”“F
Later…Twilight POV“Mama, me dweamed weiwd dweam.”“What was it about?” I asked while tucking her in.“I dweamed saw Papa yestewday. He looked lot like me or me looked lot like him. But he was vewy tall like a giant.”“Honey, that wasn't a dream. Your papa was here yesterday just before you fell asleep.”“Oh.”“Do you want to see him again?”“Maybe. Can I tomowwow?”Honestly, I'm disappointed with her answer.“Yes.”“Can I also get little bwothew or sissew?”“Honey, I'm sorry but you can't.”At least, not right now. I’m considering adopting one later on, but that’s all it is. A consideration.“Why?” She asked.“It's...well...”“Is it because you doesn't like Papa?”“What makes you say that?”“You not sad when he not here and he don't live with us too and me don't see a wing on it.”Wow. I guess this is one of the consequences of having a pup who takes after you.“Is Papa bad?”“Not really. We’re just not together. Anyway, enough of that; you need to get your sleep.”“Ok. Love you, Ma
