SUNSHINE:Please don't turn me down, I pleaded inside my head as I waited for Knoxx's answer.If he did, he would seriously hurt my ego. “Knoxx?”I stopped and put myself in front of him. Then, a smile made its way on his lips which took my breath away while putting some strands of hair beside my ear. My heart quickened as he stared at me. “Why would you ask me when I can ask you myself?” he whispered. Using his palm, he brushed his fingers in my face and leaned in, our forehead touching each other. I could smell his breath fanning against mine with our hearts beating in synchronization. Helena poured in happiness at the mere touch.“Sunshine…I'm really sorry for fooling you and the rest. I strongly believe that disappearing is the best thing that I can do. I'm so sorry.”That feeling of being sorry again. I lifted my gaze and forced a smile. “You said you will be the one to ask me for a date? Why don't you start asking me?” I inquired.He was still grieving, I know. And if he

SUNSHINE: “Sunshine. I don't want you to regret it.”Me regretting having his child? Definitely not. That would Be my last memory of him. He was set on staying in this place forever and looked like nothing would change his mind. So…the best thing to do was bear his child. “Why would I regret it when I wanted this in the first place, Knoxx?”He heaved a sigh until I found myself that we already reached the surface and entered the tent. There were tiny droplets of water wetting the floor and for now, I did not care any of that. Without breaking any contact, gently, Knoxx put me down as if I was the most fragile thing of all.“Have you made up your mind?” I asked.The tent was too small for us, but if this meant being the closest to Knoxx like this, it wouldn't matter at all. I wanted this proximity between us.“About what?” Both of his hands fell on both of my sides and he lay still without doing anything at all which was kind of frustrating. I did not want to spend our night starin

SUNSHINE: Knoxx looked calmer compared to earlier. Maybe he did some thinking. I lifted my gaze and watched him.“What are you saying? It's already late, Knoxx. Having your child after everything? You think I am a fool?”“We can try again and give you my seed.” Knoxx was about to grab my hand, but I hid it behind my back. I was willing to forget my pride, but why could he not do the same? Why could he not let go of his guilt and choose me?'It's because it is not that easy, Sunshine,’ Helena declared inside my head.‘If it was not easy for him and he could not sacrifice for my sake, then he did not love me.’'Knoxx did not say he loved us. He only said we are important to him and he liked us.’I was brought back to the present when I felt someone shake me. “Sunshine? Please? Do you want me to mark you? I will do that. Let's go inside,” he cajoled. I was tempted to say yes, but he already hurt me. I also had my pride. I won't be going after him because I missed his dick. Besides, w

SUNSHINE:One month later….I was outside the pack’s flower garden when I had nothing left to do.A month had passed when I returned to Heartstone Pack. A month where Dante had also left and returned there at Rogue Town. A month when I should have been moving on, but I could not and felt like I was still stuck on my past.Memories of what happened that night and the next day I left Rogue Town for good kept on flashing in my mind.Knoxx…I was waiting for his return. That he would finally change his mind and choose me in the end, but he did not.Bite, my new pet Pomeranian dog stirred in its sleep and whimpered in its sleep.Consoling it, I brushed its neck and he moved towards my warmth. Knoxx.The pack had felt as if something was missing and I knew who that was—Knoxx. The people had not yet known he was alive and every day, I was tempted to tell them that the alpha was right.‘What would you get from telling them? You will only get his wrath,’ Helena declared...'I don't care if he

SUNSHINE:The heart hammered against my ribcage as I walked in the hallway while clenching my fist.How could the beta ask me what would happen to Knoxx if ever I married Jericho when the alpha specifically showed me that he had nothing to do with me? Men. Did they think women had all the time to wait for them? Like the heck!I should seriously consider if I want to marry Jericho or not so that this will stop.‘What will happen to our mate, then?’ Helena asked, whimpering. She had been silently crying in the corner of my mind.‘That is no longer my concern. Knoxx has chosen and it’s time for me to do the same.’“Sunshine. Wait!”I heard footsteps and I did not need to stop to know who it was. Cayden. The rational one among the brothers. And he was also the most sane person who never blamed me for what happened to the youngest brother. How unfortunate we were never given the chance to be closer as siblings. “Sunshine. Can we talk?”I stopped and faced him. Sweat coated his forehead f
