LOGINShe reached for the tray.“No, thank you.” I turned the tray to my left side. “It’s not as if I’m some kind of fragile princess who can’t carry a tray without breaking a nail.”“Yeah, that’s funny,” she chuckled. “But if anything happens, it’s us who will bear the blame, so let me.”She reached for the tray again and I turned it to my right side, “Oh, you don't have to worry about that. I doubt those old folks would give a single cent about this. After all, I’m just a conniving bitch trying to get everyone’s attention with my son.”Silence.An incredible, suffocating silence filled the kitchen as every pair of eyes turned toward me.I really didn't want to admit that I had heard them. I had planned to walk in, get the drinks, and leave as if none of their words had reached me.But…I just didn’t know how to hold things in.“Oh, I see you’ve been eavesdropping.” Ariana's smile slowly disappeared, only to be replaced by another one that somehow annoyed me even more. “But I think that’s.
But another part of me was happy he wasn't around to make things more complicated for me. At least I could breathe without having to deal with his presence every second.Although Leo had been asking about him.Jerk.He really had a way of making people think about him even when they were trying their best not to.My attention shifted back to Leo, and I noticed how much he was sweating from running around. Then I remembered that he had barely eaten anything this morning, just a bite or two before he rushed outside to play.Once Leo started playing, he seemed to forget everything else, including food. I wasn't sure if it was just him or if all children were like that.So I decided to get them something to eat and drink before they played themselves into exhaustion.I walked out of the bedroom we were staying in. It was the same room Cayden and I always stayed in whenever we came to visit his parents after they returned to the pack. But now… it seemed like they had hardly left the pack
AVA’S POV“So, you’re staying there now?”“Hell no, it’s just until…”“Hi, honey.” Clarissa’s face suddenly appeared on the screen, cutting into our conversation as she waved at me.I was a little shocked to see her.And I couldn’t help but thank goddess Gina and I hadn’t started talking about her husband, or what happened the last time I went to her pack because I told Gina I would gist her about everything today.“Hi, Clarissa. I didn’t know you were there.” “A second, please.” She said to Gina, taking the phone from her. Then turned to the screen back, “Yeah, I came this morning hoping to see you and my little cupcake’a face.” She tucked her hair behind her ear as she walked away from the others. “But I heard you two are back together now.”“Who and who?”“You and Cayden of course.”“What? Who told you that?”I glanced at Gina, who was already jumping and waving behind her as if she was desperately trying to tell me not to say anything. Which means she wasn’t the one and Clari
“Well, maybe if you had at least tried that on your son first, or any of your own family, then I might actually believe any of your bullshit. But you and my father turned me into a fucking lab rat, and you think I should be grateful to you? There is a fucking reason why it’s called ‘Dark Knight Secret Technques.’ It seems you are all missing the ‘dark’ part.”“It’s the name of your pack Dark Knigbt. So I don’t see anything wrong there.”“You filthy thing.”“Ok, you are here complaining. Then What do you expect your father to do?” he asked. “He was holding a dying boy. They searched everywhere, they couldn’t find a transplant within the short period of time they had. So what else do you want him to do? And do you even know what he…”He suddenly stopped, as if he had just wanted to slip out something he shouldn’t have.I cocked a brow as I looked at him.Yeah I know. He’s definitely keeping something and I would find it.But still.. part of what he said still lingered in my mind. About
After sitting there for a while, with whatever Margaret brought me helping to slow the bleeding a little, I finally threw the bloodied tissues away and made my way out of the house.I headed straight to the new facility that had been built in the downtown area of the pack.It had only been completed recently, after Dad repeatedly begged me to give him a place where George could be kept alive and monitored instead of being executed immediately. I had agreed, but only under my conditions. George was still a prisoner, and the facility had been built specifically to make sure he couldn't escape or cause any more trouble.The place was heavily guarded, with security stationed at every entrance and along the hallways. The moment I arrived, the guards bowed their heads respectfully, and one of them stepped forward to lead me inside.We walked through a long hallway illuminated by bright, translucent lights, the sound of our footsteps echoing against the walls as we made our way deeper into t
CAYDEN’S POVI watched her rush through the gate with such urgency, as If someone had given her a deadline and warned her that if she arrived late, she would lose whatever was waiting for her. I could already guess Mom must have informed her about Leo.I let out a heavy exhale.Only God knew what was going on in her head. Did she really think I was that heartless to lock my own child away somewhere?My own flesh and blood?My lips lifted into a faint smile as I watched her disappear completely through the gate, remembering everything that happened earlier. Some say child birth male woman lose her feminist or her body not getting that enticing again, but with everything I saw down there, it was just like when I first met her an I fucking took me my all to hide my arousal.Having her back here really felt so good, but the fact that she and our child were here at the same time made everything feel even more unreal to me.You know... part of it still felt like a dream.Finding out that I
The second I saw her face, something inside me broke. Fresh tears filled my eyes and without saying a word, I stepped forward and threw my arms around her. She didn’t ask what happened nor demand an explanation. She just wrapped her arms around me and held me as if all she knew all I needed right
I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out. I could only stare at him in shock and through the corner of my eyes, I caught this triumphant sneer on Natalie's face. “You…you can’t be serious, right? The one who should be leaving right now is..” “No, it’s you.” He turned to face me, after sl
***AVA’S POV***“Congratulations, you’re three weeks pregnant.” The doctor’s words rang in my ears as I stared at her.“Pardon?”“You heard me right, Luna Ava. You are three weeks along.”I blinked rapidly as I could not believe this. Five years of trying and now finally…I didn’t wait for anythin
I couldn’t find it. My eyes scanned the velvet-lined drawers again. Then again. But it’s still not there. Not just the ring but most of my jewelry are missing. My fingers began moving frantically through every compartment. But it wasn’t there. I didn’t care about the wedding ring or the res
