BLOOM’S POVWhen I woke up, I was in a hospital bed. How did I get here? I tried to look around. Moments ago, I was at Orion Pack delivering a message. That was all I remembered. I must have blacked out. But why?“Quite early, aren’t you?” I jumped at the interruption by a familiar voice and turned sideways to see Cecily with her signature sneer. Why the hell was she here? Fear caught in my throat as I tried to think of all the possible reasons she would be here.“Oh, you should thank your stars that I followed you, Bloom, or you would have died. Basically, I saved your life.” I kept silent, terror rising as I watched her pace back and forth with an amused expression. She chuckled a few times while sniffing the air, and then, the ball dropped. Sniff. “Is that a masculine scent I smell off you?” My heart jumped to my throat, and I started to quiver. Opening my mouth, I tried to speak, tried to say something to defend myself, but couldn’t. “Because I knew I heard sounds last night

BLOOM’S POVThe moon festival was fast approaching, and every person in the Pack had been tasked with doing something. It was two weeks after being tortured, and while I was allowed to move around the Pack, my hands and legs had been chained. That way, I wouldn’t be able to run away.Like a slave, I moved around bound, the clanging of my chains notifying everyone of my appearance and keeping them away from me. One of the significances of the chains was that I was a disgrace therefore, no mated or unmated male wolf was permitted to take more of a glance at me. It also meant I was ineligible for marriage because I tarnished mine and my father’s name.That wasn’t all. After the torture, my father had ordered the guards to drag me out, and in front of all the Pack members, disowned me as his daughter. For whoring myself to an unwanted male, I was no longer his daughter. Did it hurt when unmated males ignored me and walked past me like I was a plague? Yes, but that wasn’t the worst part. J

BLOOM’S POVAs the moon festival began, the Pack was illuminated by the moon. Celestial orbs cast their glowing beams upon the surroundings. Captivating sights shimmered and came alive under their ethereal touches. Lanterns floated gracefully, illuminating the darkness with their tender radiance. The stars sparkled and twinkled in harmony, and fireflies danced in the air, casting mesmerizing glows upon the atmosphere.I heard the howling of wolves, the music and the beating of drums, and the moving of feet to the beat. Tonight was my chance. I couldn’t stay here for another moment. I would finally say goodbye to the Pack that has shown me so much physical and emotional pain. Staying another moment longer would be the end of my life. Inside my room, I looked out the window, seeing that the entire Pack members had gathered. It was an unlawful thing for anyone to miss the moon ritual. I found myself on the edge of desperation. After all the years of torment and excruciation, my plan to

BLOOM’S POVThe sun peeked through the curtains, and my eyes fluttered open to find myself lying on a bed. It was comfortable and warm, which was unfamiliar to me. I smiled. For the first time in my life, I woke up comfortably. I didn’t wake up due to cold water splashed on my face or bullied out of my sleep to work for others. Everything was fine. Well, except that my hands and legs were tied.Looking further into the room, I was startled when I noticed a man standing by the window. His tall and commanding figure cast a shadow upon the floor. He wasn’t facing me, but his back possessed beauty and majesty, making it impossible for me to tear my eyes away.There was that connection again. I couldn’t explain it. The cosmic force that pulled two souls together in divine union. My mind screamed that he was the one I slept with that night. I didn’t think I would set my eyes on him again.I flinched a little when I felt aches in my body. I looked down at my body and saw my wounds had been t

BLOOM’S POVMy whole body shook as Rich walked out, and the tears I had held back fell. Of everything I had imagined would happen to my worthless life, I never thought I would have to deal with a baby. I felt light-headed. The fact that my intended mate hated me made things worse. I never felt so out of place. So unwanted. What did I do to deserve this kind of life? Was I paying for a grave sin I committed in my past life? He was right about one thing. I was the one in my right mind. Still, I didn’t bother to stop myself from urging him on. Maybe my father was right. I was nothing but a slut.“You know you’re not.” My wolf tried to comfort me, but her words didn’t do anything to stop my tears from falling. I heard the door opening and quickly wiped my cheeks. Then I jumped to my feet, gritting through the pain I felt all over my body.Rich had come back into the room. “Hey… Hey. You should rest. Your condition is still very fragile.” I didn’t answer him. How was I supposed to tell

GREY’S POVMy mate had been staying in the room next to mine for a few days, and I was more restless than I’d been in a long time. The fact that I could feel her emotions because of the mate bond drove me crazy. For the most part, she was jumpy, so I intentionally spent more time in the office to avoid her. It didn’t work. She took up my thoughts during my free time. I couldn’t help but be annoyed that she was messing up my plan. There were a lot of pressing issues at hand. I didn’t need some woman who appeared from who-knows-where taking up my time. My wolf had given me hell since our last encounter with her, more active than ever and messing with my head. He pestered me to check on her and look after her, but I ignored him. I hadn’t set my eyes on her for the past few days. There was a knock on my door, drawing me back from the thoughts of her. “Hey, what’s up?” Richmond asked as he walked into the office. I nodded and grunted a greeting in reply.Then he sat in the chair acro

BLOOM’S POVI couldn’t stop shaking as I realized what I had done. Looking at the broken pieces on the floor, I knew I would get punished. I just knew it. Back at my former Pack, I wouldn’t get away with something like this. It was either reported to my father, and I got whipped, or the witness picked up the broken piece and pierced it into my skin. Most of the time, it was Cecily. My mate was not standing so close to me, but I could feel the heat radiating off his body. I suddenly felt sweaty. The clothes I was wearing didn’t do anything to help matters. I had worn thick clothing because I didn’t want anyone to see the scars on my body. Most of the clothes I found in the wardrobe of the new room didn’t do anything to cover me. They either exposed my arms or weren’t long enough. I barely found some that were long enough.I bowed, knowing the first rule was not to make eye contact. I didn’t even have an explanation for what happened. I came to the kitchen to get food because I was s

GREY’S POVI didn’t like how she made me feel mad, frustrated even, and I hated that I wanted to get to know her, everything about her life, and what she went through. I loathed that I got worried when she hurt herself, despised that my wolf was mad at how I treated her, and that he wanted to be near her. At the same time, I hated myself for treating her badly.All these weren’t part of the plan. I didn’t want a mate, nor did I want a child. I didn’t think I could raise one without turning into my father. After growing up, all I could say about my father was that he was a bastard, but his blood flowed through my veins. I had walked the path of no redemption, so I was already like him, if not worse, but I couldn’t imagine having a child and treating them the way my father abused my brother and me. When I saw her the other day and went near her, the smell that radiated off her body was different. She had smelled more alluring. I knew for a fact that it was because of the baby. And th
