~Vixen~Kael tried to threaten me with his very own son.That was how pathetic and desperate he was.That was his only card left to use against me.He wasn't aware I was always prepared.Though I can't take Paul back with me, I had to ensure his safety.I rehired his previous nanny, putting her on my payroll.Every expense to be made about him would be handled by me.I couldn't entrust Paul entirely to Kael. It was a risk I wasn't willing to take.My head couldn't fathom why a sweet child would end up with two horrible people as parents.He couldn't choose his parents, but I would make sure I choose him, even if I did it indirectly.He wouldn't be left with nothing.He wouldn’t end up like… me.As the insults to Kael increased, Nathan came to my side.“Lady Vixen,” his eyes went to the bloodstained Kael, sitting on the banquet floor. “What happened? Are you okay?”I gestured to the kind guests in black suits that were behind me.“These nice guests protected me from that devil.”His ey

~Vixen~I needed Vaelor.But he was no longer by my side, rather standing between Kael and I.I couldn't care more about what they were saying, I just needed him with me.I held my temple, trying to steady myself.“Lady Vixen,” Nathan whispered beside me. “Please don't think of staggering at this moment. Alpha Vaelor can cut off my fingers for merely touching you.”I removed my hand from my temple, giving him a side glare.But he met my glare with a serious expression. “I'm not kidding. I'm just here to do my job, not to lose my life.”It's surprising to see Nathan finally scared of someone.That meant Vaelor was well… being Vaelor, threatening every soul in this banquet.Suddenly the devil himself came to hold my hand like it was a routine activity, temporarily leaving me dumbfounded.As much as I didn't want to admit it, I've missed this.Holding his hand.With our hands intertwined, it felt like the world started to make more sense.I held his hand tighter, and he gently caressed m

~Kael~“Gamma Lusen,” I followed him eagerly. “Gamma Lusen, please hear me out. It's not really over.”The Gamma stopped as he reached the threshold of the hall, turning to me.“Why are you suddenly pestering me? I watched you move from one circle to another, chatting and kissing up only the influential werewolves. You didn't even spare me a glance.”I shook my head. “It's a misunderstanding. There were too many guests to greet, I couldn't meet them all.”He squared his shoulder proudly with a smug expression I wanted to rip off.“Then go meet those Alphas. I won't be the idiot you involve in your downfall. I only came here to have an opportunity to speak with Lady Vixen.”Why was everybody saying the same thing?Nobody came here to enjoy the banquet or even to see me, they all came for Vixen.As Gamma Lusen was about to leave, I held him back, desperate for at least one alliance from this banquet.“Let me propose a business idea with our two packs. We'll split the profits 30/70. If y

~Vaelor~We.That word stuck with me like glue, the others falling on deaf ears.She was thinking of us together.“Vaelor, where do we go now?” She repeated, eyes on me.I didn't answer her question, the entire ride was filled with suspense.From my peripheral vision I could see her hesitating to draw my attention again, her hand fiddling with her dress.My hand remained on her lap, feigning ignorance at the tense air and unanswered questions.I drove out of Pure Moon Pack, entering Shadowcrest's border.Now in an environment I was more familiar with, I took a different route, heading towards a secluded mountain.Vie, unfamiliar with the serenity, stared out of the window, unbothered as the wind dishelved her hair.Moonlight and streetlamps took turns caressing her features, and I found myself thinking that perhaps love was this simple.Perhaps love meant being content to sit in silence and admire the person who made even ordinary moments feel beautiful.Tonight made me realize I coul

~Vaelor~The car ride from the mountain was silent.Not because we ran out of things to talk about.But because Vie was asleep.She was exhausted from the banquet and was awake almost all night.Plus she was pregnant.When she told me about our pup, I was deep in thoughts, contemplating if I should feign ignorance and act surprised, or tell her the truth.We've finally started on a clean slate.She finally trusts me.I couldn't start our new chapter with lies.She was worth more than that.I had to tell her the truth.I glanced at her sleepy frame from the rearview mirror as she laid at the back seat.She looked so peaceful.I made the right decision.As I drove into the cottage I've been using during my stay in Shadowcrest, I spotted West and other elite guards waiting for me.One shouldn't trust Ravan's definition of ‘cottage’, because this was clearly a gated two story building.I parked the car, stepping out and carrying Vie into my arms.As an elite guard rushed to take her from
