“Well, at least I have a great time with Stefan inside of me all night.”I felt the pain before I heard the sound of Clarisse's hand against my cheeks. It was so strong that my face turned sideways and even though I was in pain, I swallowed it and never made a sound, not even a whimper that would give her the satisfaction. “Stefan might have been inside you all night but that’s all it will ever be,” Clarisse's shaking voice said. “You will be nothing more than just someone he fucks. Someone he wanted to use when he wanted to release that itch. You will be nothing more than that. You will never become our Luna. Never.” The words cut deeper than any knife but I would never show her all the cuts and wounds that she had marked me over and over. So instead of showing the pain that I was feeling, I turned and faced her with the biggest smile I could come up with.“Well, it’s better than not having him inside of me at all,” I said in the most nonchalant way. “Unlike someone I know who wou
All of my life, I have been used to people treating me unfairly and to being hated. Which is why I never knew what it felt like to be treated like a princess. Stefan never really treated me badly until now, but the moment he heard that I was carrying his heir, something around us and between us changed.“What did you say?” he asked, his voice laced with disbelief. “I don’t think a baby would form just because we had sex last night.”“You know that we’ve done it a lot more before last night,” was my reply. He reluctantly looks at me. But I never gave any reason to doubt me. “I have never been with anyone but you, Stefan, and you know it. You can doubt me all you want but I know that now that you know, your wolf can sense it.”Stefan didn’t move. But he continues to stare at me. I felt the change in the air. Like it was no longer filled with rage, it was like it was softer. I watched as Stefan’s eyes changed from black to grey as it went back and forth like it was unable to decide w
Stefan didn’t show up after what had happened that night.Honestly, I am not sure if I should be relieved or not. But despite what had happened I just can’t get him off my head and my heart. I guess the growing life on my belly is giving me hope that we can still fix things between us. Even with his absence, I can still feel Stefan’s presence as he ensured that I was taken care of. He didn’t move me back to my old room. Instead, he moved me to the room closest to his. I am not sure why but the thought of having him close to us made me feel secure knowing that if anything happens to me and his child, he will be right there to make sure that we would be alright.Still, my loving heart can’t stop but hope that he will still someday see me as more than just a breeder. That I can be more than what his people think of me. That I can be more. “Luna,” Mrs. Smith shook me lightly as tried to get my attention. Seeing her made me smile. She was one of the kindest people in the pack and the o
-Stefan-Things were never easy for me.Nothing in my life was ever easy. But people around me always assume that I got everything the easy way. Like I never have to work hard for anything. Every person around me stays with me because they want something from me. Usually money and of course power. Everyone except Angeline. I can still remember the exact moment when I saved her. And the moment that our Mate Bond clicked. I knew at that moment that she was the one for me. But despite this knowledge, I still haven’t marked her, haven’t claimed her. And it’s not because I don’t want to because, god I do. I really do. The truth is that there are so many times when I almost did. When I almost claimed her. But thankfully I haven’t slipped yet. Because if I did, she wouldn’t be here bearing my heir, my child. Our child. There has always been a threat to my life ever since I proved to everyone else that no one else would be the rightful Alpha of our pack but me. But of course, not everyo
- Angeline -I still haven’t seen Stefan since that night. I’m unsure if it was because he was so angry at what I told him or because he hated me so much.But shouldn’t he be at least concerned about our baby’s state?“What are you thinking?” Mrs. Smith said as she entered my room. “Nothing,” I replied stuttering.“I have known you for a long time to know what each frown or smile on your face means,” she replied. “I didn’t know that my frowns and smiles have meaning,” I said as I took a sip from Mrs. Smith's tea.“Of course, they do, my dear,” she replied, smiling at me mischievously. “By the way, I heard on my way here that Stefan was busy taking care of a vampire threat in one of the allied packs. I believe that he was coordinating with Ethan regarding this matter as they try to close our borders to ensure our people’s safety.”“Vampires?” I asked in surprise. I have heard the stories but I never knew that they really existed. Wait let me correct that, it’s not that I don’t know b
- Stefan-I had been stuck to meetings after meetings with alliance packs and my own council that I didn’t notice that I hadn’t visited Angeline since our fight for almost a month.Although I know how she was through Nana’s reports. I have to admit that I miss her. The way she smiles whenever she sees me, the sound of her voice, and even the smell of her perfume whenever I am near her. “Stefan,” I hear someone calling my name but I am not sure if it is real or just part of my imagination.“Stefan!” My head turned as I recognized the voice that was calling my name, my Beta, Claire.“Yes?” I asked irritably, mainly because I felt embarrassed for being caught that I was not listening. Beta Claire cleared her throat before speaking once again, “The alliance wanted to ask for your opinion on the Black Rock Pack. They are asking your opinion on the survivors. On what we should do with them. Because it’s obvious that they can’t go back to their pack.”I look at all the Alphas around the ta
- Angeline-I removed Stefan from my mind even though my heart was still hopeful.I focus on keeping myself happy and healthy because there are more important things than my feelings towards Stefan. “I can tell you the gender if you want to know,” the healer of the pack said with a smile. But I shook my head, no. I wanted it to be a surprise. Because there was something else I was more concerned with, and that was to know if my baby was healthy. “But my baby is healthy right?” I asked as I pushed my fear behind me. “Yes,” the healer smiled. “The baby is very healthy. But you still need to be careful, no strenuous activity, and I still recommend for her to be on bed rest.” The healer added, saying it more to Mrs. Smith than me. “I will keep an eye on her, I promise,” Mrs. Smith replied. “I will tie her in that bed if needed.” “You know that I can hear the two of you, right?” I said with a chuckle. Mrs. Smith continued to make jokes but everyone became silent as we all felt the s
- Angeline-I was now nearing my due date and I could feel my child was getting excited with all the circling he keeps on doing inside my belly. Stefan’s visits have become more frequent than before and he takes more tasks at home and usually sends Beta Claire on his behalf.Having him around comforts me a lot, to know that he is making such an effort for our child that my stupid heart can’t stop but love him more because of it. “Good Morning,” Mrs. Smith greeted with a big smile on her face. “Good Morning,” I replied, raising an eyebrow to question her perkiness. “What is it?” “What do you mean?” She asks innocently.“You know exactly what I mean,” I replied. “I don’t know exactly what you mean,” she denies as she shakes her head. But I didn’t give up and stared at her until she finally gave in. “Okay, okay,” she replied in defeat as she raised her arms in surrender, making me laugh at how funny it was.“I was just happy at how civil you and Stefan had become,” Mrs. Smith repl
