Chapter 41: My Decision

Silja POVI’m surprised by Gerard’s immediate reaction to this pregnancy and his decision to stay with me until I’m healthy. I know it’s for the pup’s sake more than mine, but still, I guess it’s nice not having to do this alone.I think my parents would help me, but it’s not the same as the father being present, I guess. There are no ‘what ifs’ in life, but I can’t help but wonder, what if we had met when we were both completely sober? What if we never met at all? He would be with Trina and I would be none the wiser, but then would I go the rest of my life without a mate, since he would have been with Trina?Last night was…comfortable until the unexpected happened. We had takeout, we talked and laughed. It was kind of like having a sleep over with Romy. I called her last night once I went to my room to sleep. I told her everything that happened and also about what Gerard said about Trina.“He literally used the word, ‘us’?” Romy asked.“Yeah. I mean, I’m not reading into lover. I thi

Chapter 42: The Line

Gerard POVI thought about last night. After everything I said, I was waiting for Silja to say something. Anything. Instead, she blushed and it made me smile inwardly. I think the mate bond is affecting her and I hope it is. I hope I’m not the only one it’s affecting.I meant every word I said. I was thinking back to our conversations over the last three weeks. At one point, she had her camera with her. I saw an old man sitting on a bench and she told me to take a picture. I looked through the lens, and I rhetorically said out loud, “He looks deep in thought. I wonder what an old man like him has seen through the years.”Silja smiled and took the camera from me to look at the picture. “I always see the world differently when I look through a lens too.”“Huh?”She looked at me gently, “People think about things differently when looking through a camera lens. Like you did just now. ‘I wonder what an old man like him has seen through the years.’ Any other day, you would have just walked b

Chapter 43: Viola

Trina POVThere is no way I am going to be bested by Silja. She is a nobody with a camera. Now that Gerard has broken things off with me for that bitch’s sake, I am calling his mother. She will help me and make things impossible for Silja and help Gerard see the errors of his ways.Then I will slip back in as the forgiving and loving woman he needs. I will even help raise their pup. The pup won’t be the saint of my devotion, but it will be clothed and fed. That’s as much as I will offer. Our pups together will have the best though.I dialed Viola’s number. On the second ring, she answers. “Trina, darling, how are you?”I let the tears flow. “Oh, Mrs. Sinnett. Gerard just broke things off with me for the photographer.”“WHAT?!” She said loudly. “I don’t believe it. He loves you so much.”“He did. That one-night stand resulted in her getting pregnant. Now she is carrying his heir and I’ve become expendable.” I cried. “I just wanted to call you and let you know that I won’t be coming back

Chapter 44: Secret

Viola POV “Viola, I said NO!” Nolan shouted at me. I scoffed, “Like you can stop me, Nolan. Trina will be staying with us for the foreseeable future.” “Woman, I have lost my patience with you. If you want to see her so bad, then go to her pack. She and her family are not allowed into Night Crown!” He bit back. “Oh, don’t you dare try to tell me who can and cannot visit me, Nolan Sinnett! You forget that I know exactly why you brought Jaul here. Why don’t you recognize him. Keep pushing my buttons and I will let this entire pack and all the elders know that my dear mate is a miserable bastard!” Nolan opened his mouth and then closed it. “I don’t want her here. Gerard and Silja are finally getting along. She is PREGNANT with our grandpup. The balance is very fragile, and you are trying to break them apart. They are FATED. Why are you so against his mate?!” “Because she is a nobody. Trina is a beta’s daughter and has connections. Connections she used to help our son when he first st

Chapter 45: Shock

Gerard POVGoddess her lips are sweet. At first, I felt her stiffen and I was worried she would break away from me, but then she put her hand on my chest slowly. I growled my approval. It was low because it didn’t want to startle her and this moment to end.I gently put my phone down and wrapped my free hand around her too. When she gasped, I didn’t think twice before exploring her mouth and tasting her flavor. I moved my fingers through her red hair and kissed her more urgently.I’m rewarded with a whimper and damn it; there is something very possessive coming over me. I want all of her whimpers, kisses, and everything else to belong only to me. I slowly move her and position her almost under me. I move my hand and feel her thighs. She’s wearing pajamas shorts and I’m inching my hand up and feeling her smooth legs and I hear her moan.I’m ready to explore more when my phone rings. I groaned as I broke our connection. A connection I was hoping I could explore more of and now I could st

Chapter 46: Tide Turning

Silja POV I feel like I am entering another universe right now. What is happening? I didn’t mean to fall on him or kiss him. I also couldn’t help myself when he started kissing me back and firming his grip around my waist. Pau didn’t care about my mind being everywhere when it first happened. She actually told me to shut up and enjoy the moment. Did that even count as a first kiss? I was very much awake and sober for this one. At first, I was going to break away, but something about the way his arms felt around my waist and his firm grip as he held me in place made me melt. I’m angry with myself for being that weak. Don’t even get me started on him, flipping me to my back and him feeling my thighs. I felt all kinds of electric jolts go up my legs. I thought I was going to lose myself completely when his phone rang. Thank the Goddess! It was his mother and she very clearly made her sentiments about me known. She made it clear she prefers Trina. I am grateful for the interruption be

Chapter 47: Honest Shot

Silja POV He admits he was wrong. That must be really hard as an Alpha to admit. He said it before, right? Alphas don’t like being told what to do. I don’t know any man honestly that would make himself this vulnerable for a woman, when he had another one waiting for him. ‘Because he isn’t lying, Sils.’ Pau said. ‘Terk says that Gerard could barely think when he saw you on the ground bleeding. He is doing everything he can to find out who is behind your kidnapping. He doesn’t believe it was only Donovan.’ I take that information and add it to every other confession of the last twenty-four hours. Then I remember one glaring detail. ‘He hasn’t said he loves me.’ ‘Sils, do you think a man who doesn’t love you would do all these things? He literally gave Trina the boot…in front of you. Told off his mother…in front of you. Give him an honest shot, and I bet he will say it soon. This isn’t just a confusing time for you. You aren’t even clear on your feelings for him, even though it’

Chapter 48: Alpha-hole

Gerard POVSilja walks into her bedroom and leaves me in shock. Take the win. Going from Alpha-hole to Alphy is a win?‘Yeah, it is! You were every bit of an ass to her and now she isn’t looking at you like a complete asshole now. She’s giving you a shot too. Pau is talking to me now. Don’t you dare fuck it up, Gerard or I will shift, run right into the forest and pull another shift right before I slam you into a fucking tree, so help me, Moon Goddess!’ Terk said and judging by his tone, he would do it.‘Chill out, I am trying not to fuck this up either.’He huffed and went to the back of my mind.Finally, some quiet. I run my hand over my face and start tidying up while Silja showers. I noticed she left her laptop open and out of curiosity, I looked at the article she was reading. It’s interesting and she read it intently. It gives me an idea.[Gerard: Hey, I need you to look into a graphic design and AI company. That’s what Silja was reading. Not a romance novel.][Erik: I assure you

Chapter 49: Desire and Ultrasounds

Silja POVDid he seriously get jealous of a book boyfriend? That kiss left me reeling and full of desire. Desire that is too soon to have. Who knew he had a jealous streak? I certainly didn’t think he would be over me.‘Girl, have you not been going on dates and talking to him for weeks now?’ Pau asked.I scoffed inwardly, ‘Yeah, but that was before I decided to give him a chance.’Pau laughed, ‘Girl, stop overcomplicating this. He is waking up. It’s about damn time too. But you are too smart to act so damn ignorant. You want that man or you wouldn’t be feeling desire. You want that man, or you wouldn’t be sharing your portfolio. Just admit it. You want that man.’I shut Pau down and I sighed frustrated. Gerard doesn’t miss it either. “Everything okay?”He looks at me like maybe he did something wrong. I shook my head. “No Pau is just being difficult.” I said.His eyebrow went up and he smirked. “Oh? What about?”“Nothing. Are we leaving?” I asked.“Yeah, but we are talking about this…

Chapter 50: Gender Reveal

Gerard POVThere is my pup. My pup with Silja. I hear that sweet little heartbeat, and I can see the outline of hands and a profile our or pups face. It’s so surreal and I can’t imagine life without this pup now.I heard Silja say my name and I snapped out of it. “Huh? Sorry, what was that?” I said.Silja smiled, “Do you want to know the gender of our pup?”“Yes!” I said immediately.The doctor chuckled and started looking at the image on the monitor. Then he gets a great view and it’s very clear we are having a boy. Like father, like son.“Congratulations, you are having a boy, Luna.” He said.Silja smiled, “A son. Your heir.” She said, softly.“Our heir.” I told her as I kissed the top of her head. This is a really beautiful moment and I’m enjoying it until the doctor starts talking again.“Okay. So, Luna, you are in time to fix the anemia, which I highly suggest, based on the measurements of your son.”“What’s wrong with the measurements?” she asked.“You are not quite five weeks, b
