"What did you just call me?" I asked again, watching as Daniel visibly froze, his lips parting of their own accord. Realising what he had said, I felt his hands on my cheeks tense."What do you mean?" He asked, avoiding my gaze, as his hands fell from my face.There was no way I heard wrong; I might not have understood a part of what he said, but the pet name he used to address me was one I was familiar with and one I hadn’t heard in a long, long time."Pequeño pastel de calabaza." I stated, relaying the words he said back to him, making his jaw tense. His gaze was still avoiding mine, letting me know he knew very well what I was asking about.Why would he call me that, and why was he hesitating to explain himself?What was he hiding?"You must have heard wrongly." Daniel replied, scratching the back of his head in a nervous act.I don’t know if he thought I was going to fall for his display of ignorance or what silly excuse he was coming up with.I definitely didn’t hear wrongly, and

"Good morning," Orpheus breathed into my ear the next morning, bringing me out of my sleep.I turned over, letting out a yawn. "Good morning." I muttered, placing my head on his chest, trying to block out the sun streaming in through the window. "How long have you been awake?""For nearly an hour, I couldn’t resist the urge to watch you sleep. Especially when you look so beautiful and peaceful." He smiled.Orpheus’s arm lies over my shoulder, holding me close to his chest. His thumb moves down to my wrist and gently traces shapes over my bare skin, instantly raising goose bumps.I peek up at him, and he looks down at me. "What's the matter?" He asks, his blue eyes turning soft.Leaning away from him slightly and moving onto my forearm, I shake my head at him and smile softly."Nothing." I say. His hand reaches up to brush the hair from my face before he cups the bottom of my chin."Is it about the baby?" he questions, his eyes never leaving mine.It has only been a day since I found o

Orpheus and I had managed to check up on as many human houses as we could. We knew we still had a thousand miles to go, but what was more important was that they knew their needs would always be met, and they were free to visit the palace in case of any complaints.Right now, we were heading to our last stop for the day. Some of the human elders heard about our visit and decided to hold a get-together with a few other humans and wolves as a way of greeting Orpheus and me. Though I was a bit tired and it was a miracle that I hadn’t released half the contents of my stomach through our car ride, I didn’t want their effort to go to waste.Orpheus was also there to help me through the entire ride; his presence was calm and welcoming. He was always checking in on me every few seconds to see how I and the baby were doing.When we finally arrive at the pack house, as Orpheus called it, the black SUVs' tires crunch against a gravel drive, rolling up to an enormous manor. Orpheus had said this

"Happy Birthday, Micaela," Orpheus whispered into my ear after he woke me up, kissing me deeply. I was stunned. "How did you know? I don’t think I told you when my birthday was." I exclaimed. "I always make sure to know everything that concerns you." He says it with a smile. "Besides, your friends made sure I didn’t forget about it; they kept ringing it in my ears indirectly these past few days." I laughed, knowing fully well this was something Josiana and Godiva could do. I leaned forward, pecking his lips, and I cupped his cheek with my fingers as I caressed them softly. Orpheus held my hand, which was on his cheek, and said, "I want to take you out and spoil you rotten and get you whatever you need. You name it," before pecking my nose. "You don’t have to; I don’t think I have ever celebrated my birthday. To be honest, being with you is more than enough.” "which is a good enough reason why we need to celebrate this one. We are going to celebrate all the missed birthdays; y

Orpheus POV.I was beyond pissed when the door to the garden opened and a guard raced in. Wasn’t he told that there shouldn’t be any disturbance of any kind?This was Micaela's day, and I wanted it to go without a hitch and with no interference. Glaring at the guard, I watched as he made his way towards me, and as I got to my feet, a ferocious growl came out of my throat as I spoke. "You better have a good enough reason for walking in here when you know fully well not to interrupt today’s dinner."The face of the guard turned pale as he gulped. "Y—Your Majesty," he said, his voice warbling. "There is a body found at the entrance of the palace," he squeaked, sweat coating his face. A loud gasp filled the room, getting the undivided attention of everyone gathered, and my brows furrowed. "What do you mean a body was found?"The guard gulps again, nervously looking around the garden. "A body was found outside the grounds of the palace, facing towards yours and her majesty's bedroom."
