Ever since she joined Moonlight Pack, she has captured my heart, and I have tried to make my intentions known, but I was waiting for the right time. But since Ace showed up suddenly, she has been acting weird. She doesn’t pay me as much attention as before, suddenly withdrawing herself from me. I had even ignored it and blamed her busy schedule, but when I asked her to be mine officially, she asked for time to think about it.It has been days now, and I have heard nothing from her. I wanted to be patient, but I was slowly losing my patience. I wanted her so bad. Knowing that Ace showing up might make her

ACE’S POVDrake was bold enough to walk into my pack and warn me about staying away from Betty. His boldness and effrontery irritated me. I was infuriated that I did not stay till the end of the party. Luke had noticed my sudden disappearance, and he came to check my room. I was pacing around my room in anger.“Ace Ace!” He called.“How dare he? What guy does he have to walk in here and warn me?” I ranted.“Who? Who are you talking about, Ace?” He asked.“Drake! He was at the party, and he threatened me to stay away from Betty.” I said.He was shocked.“Drake? How did he get into the pack?” Luke had more hatred for Drake than me. It was obvious in his eyes that he was angry. He calmed me down and left to chase after Drake. Returning with news that Drake had gone back.Days after the festival, I stayed locked up in my study. Burying myself with pack duties. Luke tried to get me out of the house, but I channeled all my anger and hurt to work. It was quite productive. Projects left und

BETTY’S POVSlowly opening my eyes. My head ached. I turned and saw Drake by my side. He seemed happy that I was awake. I looked around as I tried to remember where I was.Tears flowed down my face as I remembered Margaret's call, the hospital, my son. Maxwell!“Max! Max! Where is Max?” I asked as I attempted to remove the drip from my hand.“His is fine. He’s resting now.” Drake said.I didn’t stop crying. The last thing I remembered was Drake telling me that Max would not make it out alive if he didn’t get an immediate blood transfusion.Maxwell had a rare blood type, and it would be very hard to just get his blood anywhere. I would have to tell Ace about it, but I didn’t want to.I listened as Margaret narrated how the incident happened. He had just returned from school and went out to play as usual while she trailed behind him, picking berries. She suddenly heard his scream and ran to him, only to see him severely wounded. He slipped down a hill and injured himself. The cut was de

ACE’S POV“Why didn’t you help her, Ace?” Luke asked.Betty’s visit to my pack was quite surprising.I didn’t believe Luke when he said she was asking to see me. I was glad to see her, but her reason for seeing me wasn’t what I expected.I had thought she was here to beg for ignoring me and humiliating me by going out with Drake.The news of her marriage to him broke me. Finally letting her go, I returned to Viking Hills only for her to come here.“She only came here for her son. She doesn’t care about me. She would definitely run into the arms of Drake even after I donate my blood for Maxwell,” I said.“But he is your son!” Luke yelled. He was shocked when I didn’t agree to help her.“We are not sure about that. She wouldn’t say anything about it every time I asked. You can’t just expect me to think he is my son because he needs a rare blood like mine,” I defended.He scoffed.We have argued about this non-stop since she came. Days after further persuading me to no result, she left,

DRAKE’S POVEverything had gone differently from how it was planned. The wedding was put on indefinite hold till whenever Max would be fine, and now Betty’s kidnap.It had been too much for me to process that Maxwell was Ace's son. Finding out has been hurting. Betty wasn’t even planning on telling me, even after I proposed. I was angry. Angry at Betty for keeping such a thing away from me and Angry at Ace. He always seemed to have his way eventually, but I vowed to do everything to make him fail.Betty had panicked the entire week about Max's condition and had even gone to Ace to beg, but the bastard didn’t even budge. Even though I was angry at the revelation about Max's paternity, I still wanted to be with her, but I needed to get Ace and Maxwell out of the way.I wanted to be with Betty alone without any reason for Ace to claim her, so I decided to kill Max. It was a very hard decision as Maxwell was a very sweet child, but I just had to do it.It wasn’t easy. Betty has stuck to h
