《The Tales of a Pregnant Luna》


 Chapter One

    ¡°Colleen!¡± Lillian ran into me. I smiled at her as she looked like a crazed ape, making barbaric movements. Everyone stared at her for a moment, before going back to doing what they were doing.


    ¡°What is it? ¡± I questioned the crazed girl in front if me.


    ¡°Don¡¯t pretend as if you¡¯ve forgotten. I know you know.¡± she said smiling cunningly.


    I thought for a moment, but nothing came to mind. ¡°No, I don¡¯t.¡± I confirmed, opening my locker.


    ¡°Urghhhhhhhh¡± she groaned in annoyance. ¡°The day after tomorrow? Ring any bells?¡± she questioned, anxiously waiting for my answer.


    ¡°Would you just tell me, I suck at guessing as you can already tell.¡± I said honestly. Yes, I suck at guessing, because I find it very unnecessary, thank you.


    ¡°It¡¯s your BIRTHDAY!!!¡± she screamed loudly in excitement echoing in the hallways. Again everyone stopped and looked at her.


    My mouth hung open at her. How could someone be so loud. I shut my locker walking away from my best friend. Well I wouldn¡¯t stand there after that scene.


    ¡°Heyyy!¡± she came up to my side. ¡°Some friend you are.¡± she said clearly upset.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Lilly, but you know how much I hate attention. And you don¡¯t seem to understand that.¡± Iughed.


    She smiled at me, nodding. ¡°You need to get used to it! You¡¯re my best friend. To think you would be used to it already.¡± she started then continued to some sentence about food. Rambling on.


    We entered the math ss taking our seats. The teacher walked in and instantly began the work.


    ¡°What do you wish for your birthday?¡± she questioned me, clearly bored of the lesson.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. ¡± I said to her.


    Lilly gaped at me in horror. ¡°How can you not know what you want! That¡¯s an insult to my face¡± Iughed at her idiocy.


    ¡°Theres no time for me to think about birthdays. I need to work after school and not only that, I need to keep my grades up for the schrship I was givenst year.¡± I¡¯m not rich if you ask me. Not at all. I work hard to get what I want, and to do that I have no time for fun and games.


    ¡°Come on Colleen, for once in your life act interested. Please, for your best friend!¡± she nagged distracting me.


    ¡°Yeah, yeah¡± I flipped her off. She celebrated quietly and smiled giddly, all through the lesson, making me roll my eyes. Typical high-school idiot.


    When the day ended, I hurriedly grabbed my bag and rushed out the school gates to reach the bus stop. When I got there, I gave my ticket and walked to the back. The ride felt long and short at the same time.


    I stopped in front of the mansion belonging to the alpha and his sister. I rushed in through the doors and walked to the kitchen, where Mary, the cook, stirred a pot.


    ¡°Hello Mary.¡± I panted from the marathon I ran.


    ¡°Hello, Colleen dear. You¡¯re quite early, you can start with your chores now.¡± she said. I work as a maid to the alpha. To the werewolfmunity I am an omega, but to myself, I¡¯m a normal wolf. I grabbed the apron and broom and began sweeping.


    After 3 hours of cleaning the entire mansion from head to toe, it was time for me to head home. I grabbed my school bag from the kitchen and took off the apron hanging it. I walked out the kitchen into the living room, bumping into the alpha.


    ¡°Sorry Alpha, forgive me.¡± I apologized, and to be honest this is the first time I¡¯vee face to face with the alpha himself. I usually run into Helen, His sister, but never him.


    He simply ignored walking off. Ass. He may be my alpha but the attitude he is portraying is really rude and Jerky.


    I shook my head, running out of the mansion door to the bus stop. I got in through the apartment door.


    ¡°I¡¯m home, mom¡± I said, as I walked into her bedroom. My mother was bedridden, due to an illness we¡¯ve never seen before, and going to hospital was expensive and difficult. What about my father? Well he rejected my mom a few years ago, and left.


    Mom looked at me with dull eyes and a small smile.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    ¡°Wee back, baby girl¡± she croaked making me smile. Hearing that sentence everyday, is like me breathing, I can¡¯t live without it. My mom.


    I walked to My room after a short chat with my mother. I closed the door, dropping my bag in the floor. Feeling tired I lied down upon my bed.


    I look at the ceiling. My heart clenching.


    I¡¯m Not sure if I¡¯m depressed about what¡¯s happening with my life, I mean I¡¯m not sad, but not exactly happy either. I canugh, joke and smile during the day, but sometimes when I¡¯m alone, I forget how to feel. Why?

 Chapter Two

    A knock on my door had woken me up. I sat up, before sleepily saying a fainte in.


    ¡°Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you Colleen. Happy birthday to you. ¡± Lillian came in singing.


    I couldn¡¯t help but smile. Although my mom isn¡¯t well, she¡¯s always by my side. Through good and bad. She¡¯s my best friend.


    ¡°A, thank you.¡± I said to her, hugging her.


    ¡°You deserve it.¡± she smiled hugging me back. We sat there for a moment. ¡°Okay. Come on. We¡¯re going out. We have to get you ready for tonight.¡± she said confusing me.


    ¡°What¡¯s happening tonight?¡± I questioned her.


    ¡°Your birthday party of course. And you can¡¯t say no, because I¡¯ve been working on it for days now.¡± she said. ¡°And who knows, you¡¯ll probably find your mate!!¡± she screeched. I smiled.


    Finding my mate would be a dreame true. But I don¡¯t want to hope too much. You never know what kind of mate you could get. But hopefully my mate will love and cherish me, forever and always.


    ¡°Okay, we can go. But wait I need to shower and tend to mom.¡± I saidughing. I don¡¯t know why but I feel quite happy today.


    I got out of bed as Lillian said she had work to do. I jumped into the shower under the hot running water. When I was done showering and dressing, I walked into mom¡¯s room with a bowl of food, ready to feed her.


    I sat by her side as I shook her awake lightly. Her eyes fluttered open as she smiled towards me. ¡°Happy birthday, Angel.¡± she smiled. Those words had such an effect on me, that I myself couldn¡¯t help but cry all the time. No matter how bad things got with her, she always told me she loved me, wished me happy birthday and gave me pet names.


    ¡°Thank you mom.¡± I said gratefully. ¡°It¡¯s breakfast mom, you need to eat, please?¡± I said. I helped her to sit up and the I slowly blew on the food making it cool enough for her to eat.


    After I finished with mom. I gave her, her medicine and told her I was going out. She simply said be careful and have a nice party. I smiled walking out of her room.


    A knock echoed through the house as I collected my purse. I walked to the door, and Lillian stood outside anxiously and impatiently.


    ¡°Ready? okay let¡¯s go.¡± she pulled my arm not giving me a chance to answer. We got to her car and I buckled my seat belt. She drove off into the streets towards my worst enemy. The mall.


    It had been 2 hour since we got here and I had bought enough. My feet were aching and a headache wasing along. ¡°Can we go now?¡± I questioned my shop-aholic friend.


    ¡°Yes, yes were done now quit your whining..¡± we got to the car and we drove off to my house. Lillian pulled into the driveway.


    ¡°You Need to sleep enough and then in three hours get ready, I¡¯ll pick you up at six, how does that sound?¡± she asked me. I nodded on eptance and I walked inside my house, shutting the door behind me.


    I walked up to mom¡¯s room, and shook her awake, asking I¡¯d she needed anything. She simply asked for water and I had gave it to her. Once I was done there I headed to my bedroom. I dropped the shopping bags into the bedroom¡¯s wooden floor and dragged my feet to my bed flopping into it.


    Wow, I can¡¯t believe I¡¯m eighteen. I can find my mate, get a family and do things. Wow. I shifted a bit higher getting to my pillow and smiled.


    Looking at the ceiling I began to wonder. What if my mate rejects me because they think bad of my mom? No, I won¡¯t let that happen. I¡¯d choose my mom over my mate anyway, because she¡¯s been my life support. Even now, No matter how sick she is.


    I continued to think and think and think. And my questions were getting to no end. Slowly my eyes began to shut and open, not being able to keep them open, I finally fell asleep.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.

 Chapter Three

    ¡°¡­ leen, COLLEEN!¡± a voice screeched in my ear making me groan. I red at the culprit none other than Lilly.


    ¡°What?¡± I groaned feeling tired.


    ¡°We¡¯re Gonna bete wake up!¡± she made my eyes widen. I fell asleep? sighing in fatigue, I jumped out of bed and dragged my feet to the bathroom, I washed my face, fixed my make up a bit. My dress looked fine.


    I brushed my teeth and spayed my perfume. I walked out and Lilly wolf whistled at My appearance. ¡°I can tell you now, you look sexy! Whooo¡±  she cheered.


    I smiled and hooked my arm with hers. We walked out the door, after I said farewell to my mother. She wished me luck and hoped I had a great time. I smiled as I walked out the house, locking the door behind me.


    **10 minutester¡­**


    Well this is it! A party! Note my sarcasm.


    We looked at the hall that sted with music, I guess they started my own birthday party without me, what a pack. To be honest, not everyone liked me, they only pretended to like me because I was friends with Lilly.


    We walked in and everyone shouted surprise! Wow, at least they know whose birthday it is.


    I thanked them and Lilly brought a cake before me. I blew out the candles and smiled. I hope to find my mate soon. I just hope.


    And s my prayers were answered. A beautiful mouth watering scent cause my attention. Finally. It¡¯s him. My wolf kept stirring and howling in my head, and I just knew it was him.


    I walked through the crowded part and up the stairs of the venue. Into a dark room. A low lustful growl caught me by attention.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for you.¡± the voice said. I gasped in shock as I came face to face with my mate. He was none other than the alpha if our pack. My alpha.


    ¡°y-you can¡¯t be, how?¡± I questioned. I¡¯d rather be paired up with a rat than him. He is a yer and not only that he is not mate worthy.


    ¡°I guess the moon goddess paired us. Isn¡¯t that how?¡± he mocked me a little, chuckling to himself.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°I Refuse to be paired up with the likes of you¡± I spat. He grabbed my wrists and pinned me to the wall.


    ¡°Well you¡¯re not rejecting me either. ¡± he says forcefully. He¡¯s right though.


    Suddenly a burning went through my body, it can¡¯t be, it¡¯s not possible. His eyes turned dark for lust. It can¡¯t be. He pushed back trying to control himself.


    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± he questioned Why are you in heat all of a sudden?¡±


    Heat, A time when wolves are forced to mate with each other, involuntarily. It¡¯s a painful yet pleasurable period.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know! I¡¯d like to know myself.¡± suddenly his lips were on mine and I couldn¡¯t control myself. He pushed me against the wall unzipping the dress Lilly had given me.


    He then slipped it off and threw me on the bed. And climbed right on top of me, His hands roaming my body. Why was this happening? It was so wrong, yet so right, and the bad thing is I don¡¯t want to stop. And that is a mistake I feel I would regret.


    ***************


    Soon the sun woke me up as I stretched. I opened my eyes only to meet, His face. The alphas face. This can¡¯t be.


    I screamed so loudly, kicking him off the bed as well as kicking my self off. Wended with a thump on the ground.


    ¡°Shit!¡± he groaned. Looking at me. Soon his eyes overcame with horror. ¡°What the hell?! Last night shouldn¡¯t have happened.¡± he said.


    ¡°I know, but it can¡¯t be changed can it?¡± I said to him. He looked so pale, but shook it off.


    ¡°I can¡¯t changest night, but I¡¯ll change right now. ¡± my eyes snapped up. I looked at him in shock. He wouldn¡¯t. ¡°I Alpha Reese Gold, of the blue moon pack, reject you, Colleen Daniel as my mate.¡± I felt everything shatter, my heart, my hopes, my dreams and mostly my mate.


    ¡°why? why would you do that? ¡± I questioned him. ¡°You can¡¯t just sleep with someone then throw them aside like trash.¡± I yelled, but he smirked but it wasn¡¯t quite reaching his eyes.


    ¡°But my dear, I just did. I can¡¯t ept an omega, a maid as my mate and I won¡¯t except someone like you as my mate. Never. ¡± he concluded.


    I don¡¯t know why, but right then tears brimmed out of my eyes, and it was as if I could hear them fall onto the ground. Why was this happening? I know I didn¡¯t want him to be my mate, but I would have given it a try.


    Once a yer always a yer.¡± I grabbed a pillow and threw it directly at his face with force. Pathetic, I know, but nothing could exin the pain I was going through. I put my clothes on quickly and turned to him while tears fell out of my eyes.


    ¡°Just drop dead and die, I can¡¯t believe the moon goddess would pair me up with such a jerk. See if care anymore!¡± I talked turning out of the room, and down the street home.


    Life is very unfair. We never should have met. I should have never had a mate. I should have been given happiness in spite of pain. Why was all this misfortune happening to me? I regret ever having this birthday.

 Chapter Four

    I sat on my bed, as the clock ticked, the birds hummed and the sun glowed through my bedroom window.


    It feels like I haven¡¯t slept in days, when truly all of this shit happened now. I can¡¯t exin how I¡¯m feeling. Am I not capable of being a Luna?


    But that¡¯s not right, I wouldn¡¯t be paired up with an alpha unless I was fit enough, right? But still, I can¡¯t help but have a little doubt in myself.


    I groaned in frustration dropping onto the bed and my face into the pillow. Why? Why do all bad and painful things happen to me? Did I really do something wrong to deserve this?


    Not soon after, I began feeling a burning in my lower abdomen. Stupid piece of shit. He¡¯s already moving on. It felt as if someone was burning my skin and hitting me with whips while pricking needles into my skin.


    I closed my eyes and steadied my breath. I won¡¯t do what he¡¯s doing to me. I will actually not allow any male toe near me. All boys are the same, first my dad, then my ex boyfriend and now my mate. All boys are the same. Just people who y with  your heart and step on it the moment you are useless to them.


    I got up, limping to the shower, that¡¯s it! I¡¯m not going sit by with this anymore although it¡¯s been a few hours, I¡¯m going to confront him and ask him why he¡¯d do that? Was there something wrong with me?


    I slipped on a pair of dark jeans and a white shirt, tied my hair in a bun and walked out the house. I already checked in mom and she¡¯s sleeping soundlessly. I walked outside the house and ran down the road to my work ce. The alphas house.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    I barged into the house and the helper greeted me. I smiled at her and questioned where the alphas office was. She just told me the usual ce I clean. I ran up the stairs and barged in only to see pain.


    I shouldn¡¯t havee. They snapped their eyes to mine, and he let out a ferocious growl. Right now I wanted to cry and cry really badly. My best friend was getting down and dirty with my mate.


    ¡°Why are you doing this?¡± I questioned him. He looked angry but put on an innocent face.


    ¡°Doing what?¡± he questioned. That son of a cow!


    ¡°Colleen why are you here, you kind of interrupted my time with my mate.¡± she said.


    ¡°He¡¯s not your mate, he¡¯s mine!¡± I said to her, well notpletely. He did reject me, it just hurt to see the sight.


    ¡°No, he¡¯s not. Why would you say that Colleen? ¡± she asked. I looked at her with teary eyes.


    ¡°You¡¯ve gotta believe me Lilly, he is,st night he was the mate I was looking for, he was the one who took in, he took my virginity.¡± I said as tears rolled out my eyes.


    ¡°Is that true?¡± she questioned alpha.


    He looked at her with his baby blue eyes. ¡°I was drunk babe, and she seduced me. I didn¡¯t know what we were getting to until this morning, I swear.¡± Lying piece if shit.


    ¡°How dare you take an oath you lying piece if shit! Don¡¯t lie to her! Tell her the truth!¡± I yelled at him. Lilly looked so hurt she could break down and cry, she walked up to me with tears in her eyes and did the unexpected.


    My cheek stung, and my tears fell s.  This was what wasing. She had pped me, my own best friend did that. ¡°Why would you lie about my mate, your alpha! I treated you good and tried to make you happy and now you wish to separate us due to your selfish reasons? You are such a slut! You seduced my mate and slept with him¡± I shook my head.


    ¡°Why would you say all this? Why? Do you not trust me the friend you had for years, or would you trust the person you¡¯ve just met?¡± I asked her.


    ¡°I would never trust a selfish slut like you!. ¡± she yelled. I stepped back and smiled at her, as tears riled out of my eyes.


    ¡°That¡¯s it then? This is reality? I¡¯m d I learned about this. I¡¯m d I learned about everyone in our society. Their all the same. Judgemental. And never stand for the good. No matter how much they know they are. If this is what a friend is. I don¡¯t want it. If this is what a mate is. I don¡¯t want it. If this is how a rtionship is. I don¡¯t want it. Because now I realized, rtionships are like a book, it takes years to write them and seconds to burn and I don¡¯t want that. Not anymore. Thank you, Lilly, for everything. I apologize alpha, for calling you my mate, I¡¯m sorry pack for being a disgrace. I¡¯ll take my leave now.¡± I walked out the door and headed home.


    I don¡¯t want friends, they are just backstabbers. Now it¡¯s just going to be mom and me. And that¡¯s it. I don¡¯t need anyone else. I don¡¯t. And I will never.

 Chapter Five

    I walked down the road. It was raining heavily. I stopped, looking up to the dark grey skies. I Lost my path a while ago. Now I know not where I stand at the moment. Funny right?


    The rain fell upon my face, as it covered the tears rolling out of my eyes. But that doesn¡¯t mean I couldn¡¯t feel them. Every tear was painful.


    After a while, I caught my direction again and headed home, as shbacks from earlier came rushing back. Is this what pain feels like? Is this what it feels like to be rejected? I don¡¯t want it anymore.


    My keys jingled as I opened the door. I stepped in, soaking wet and cold. Shutting the door I heard mothers faint voice from the bedroom.


    I walked to her room, forcing a smile upon my Face. I wouldn¡¯t want my Mother to feel pain, because of me. But I couldn¡¯t keep up my facade, she had already seen right through it the moment I stepped in the room.


    ¡°Baby girl, what¡¯s wrong?¡± she questioned in her. Calm soothing voice.


    I smiled as tears rolled out my eyes. I didn¡¯t want to breakdown, but I couldn¡¯t hold it in. So that¡¯s what I did. I cried.


    I ced my face on herp as I cried into it. My muffled Cries, quieted down but the tears increased. Mom pat my head soothingly and hushed me. It fell nice, but I was in too much pain to realize.


    ¡°Honey, what¡¯s the matter?¡± she asked a glint of pain in her eyes.


    ¡°Momma, he Rejected me. He did it so badly¡± I began crying again at myst words.


    ¡°Who Rejected you honey? Why? ¡± she asked in hurt.


    A lump made its way to My throat and I was thirsty and my heart kept clenching in pain.


    ¡°My mate momma, he Rejected me and said I seduced him. I didn¡¯t know Lilly was mated to him at all, and he made it seem as if I did all this on purpose¡± I huped. ¡°And what¡¯s worse of all momma, he took it. He took it away from me.¡± I said and broke down again. ¡°Please don¡¯t be mad at me momma¡± I said as I took in her expression.


    ¡°Oh honey I¡¯m not mad just disappointed, and that¡¯s not it, I¡¯m angry at how such a person could ever exist. But no worries baby, we have each other. We don¡¯t need anyone else. ¡± she said and I agree. She¡¯s right. People are just the main cause of pain. The main cause of suffering.


    And I won¡¯t allow myself to suffer anymore.¡± Now, what are you going to do about it? ¡± she questioned me. I looked at her confused.


    ¡°About what?¡± I questioned in misunderstanding.


    ¡°What are you going to do about your pregnancy? ¡± she asked


    ¡°What pregnancy?¡± I questioned.


    ¡°Oh you don¡¯t know, you¡¯re pregnant, and I can hear the faint heart beat, can¡¯t you?¡± right then I heard it. How could I have missed it? How could have I not felt it?Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    ¡°Mom, I don¡¯t want him to know! I don¡¯t want my baby to go through the same thing I went trough.¡± I pleaded. Mom lifted her frail hands shakily and touched my face.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you can just cover it up with perfume, but it will be hard to hide it forever buy thest 2 months of your pregnancy I will send you away, and you wille back after the baby is born, then we¡¯ll keep her hidden. Away from your mate away from the bad people if this world.¡± Mom promised I nodded and we spoke a little more truing to make myself forget about today.


    After a few hours of talking mom fell asleep, and I, I went to my room, and lied down trying to get some rest. But all I could do was stare at the ceiling. I put my hand on my belly and let out a sigh. I thought about what would be if my baby and I, and rest assured I asleep listening to its faint and slow heartbeat, that brought me peace.

 Chapter Six

    I woke up with a little nausea today and to be honest it sucked big time. I brushed my teeth and took a quick shower. I walked downstairs and got going with breakfast. When I was done. I ced everything in a tray and took it to my mom¡¯s bedroom.


    Opening the door, I made eye contract with my mothers figure. there she Sat down looking out her window. I knocked getting her attention. She smiled and ushered me in.


    ¡°It¡¯s been a while. I miss the outside.¡± she sighed. I wish I could tell her she would one day go, but then again I¡¯d be making empty promises.


    ¡°we all do, but the best you can do now is admire it and imagine the day you can go outside again.¡± I said as poured the tea in the cup, handing it to her.


    She took it with a smile. ¡°thank you¡±  she said. ¡°you¡¯re right, the best I can do is admire it until my time is up.¡± she realized.


    ¡°mom, don¡¯t say that. Your time isn¡¯t anytime soon, you¡¯re alive and well and I hope you¡¯re alive and well for a very long time.¡± I hoped.


    ¡°I must be a burden on you, being bedridden and not being able to help you, it¡¯s okay to be mad at me, It is after all my fault you were forced to-¡± I cut her off.


    ¡°you¡¯ve said enough mother.¡± I said as I continued to fix her food on the te. I do t like talking about my past and I won¡¯t like it ever.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I shouldn¡¯t have started¡± she looked sad.


    ¡°mom, no matter what, don¡¯t ever think you being is sick is what made me make my decision. I made my decision because I wanted to. ¡± I said and smiled her. ¡°you mom, are the best thing I¡¯ve ever had, and I¡¯d never rece you, ever.¡± I said to her.


    ¡°you should go there once more¡± she requested.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go, but not now¡± I said to get honestly.


    ¡°okay¡± she dropped the topic as we sat together having breakfast.


    Slipping on my shoes I yelled out to my mom about my departure and headed out the door getting ready for work.


    I walked to the alphas mansion and took a deep breath before actually stepping in. I walked in smoothly. Earlier I had sprayed an entire bottle of perfume on myself to cover my baby¡¯s scent, as for the Heartbeat it¡¯s still Faint, and can only be heard when listening carefully, so I¡¯m safe for now.


    I began doing my work not saying a word to the other maids, not smiling a bit. I was upset and being here makes me sick. I went up to the alphas room. Knowing he was not there, I walked in and began doing my work, soon the door opened and the devil himself walked in. He red at me before Lilly trusted in after him.


    ¡°what is this, doing here?¡± she registered to me. My face held the same expression.


    ¡°I was just leaving.¡± I said monotonously. Honestly even to me my words were like ice, they held no emotion at all.


    ¡°You still have the guts to show yourself after your usation against my mate.¡± she red ¡°you really are shameful. No wonder why daddy left.¡± that just snapped me. I turned to her in an instant and I held her by the cor, choking her. i was going to full on start pulling at her hai as well.


    My eyes turned deadly and that¡¯s all to it really, there are three things I won¡¯t tolerate, one words against my mom, two my past and three my unborn child. and she knew them all. this backstabbing b*tch.


    ¡°you better watch what you say, for you will regret ever saying anything.¡± I said darkly. She shook in fear and nodded agreeing with me.


    I grabbed my broom and walked out the room, maybe I should¡¯ve smacked her with it. I looked towards alpha and noticed his unsettling expression, but I could not look long enough to make out what it was.


    Walking down the stairs I continued to finish all the work, then alphas youngest sister walked in groaning. I¡¯ve met her a few times and let me tell you she¡¯s another story, and probably the only person part of the alphas family who is quite open. And mostly speaks to me. But today was different. She cast me a nasty look and walked up the stairs. Well, I don¡¯t care. its not like the past few days were any better anyway.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    The day was nearing end and the people whom I thought I was close to, felt distant. Well that¡¯s reality. I walked out, saying goodbye and down the street. It began raining, but that didn¡¯t matter.


    I walked down the side walk and not looking anywhere . I tripped over the uneven ground and began falling over. But someone caught my arm, and to be honest I was grateful. I looked up to see golden eyes and a small smile.


    ¡°are you okay?¡± the man asked, and right in this moment I wanted to fall to my knees. how embarassing.


    his fe caught my attention and a sudden feeling flowed through me. This feeling, I feel like I¡¯ve seen him before, Who was he?

 Chapter Seven

    I stared the man before me. He was indeed beautiful. But where had I seen him before? I know I¡¯ve seen him somewhere.


    ¡°Are you sure you¡¯re okay?¡± he questioned. I nodded, as Iy my hand on my stomach. He wouldn¡¯t know though.


    He looked confused and lost, as well as tired. I looked at him once more and stared at his face expression.


    ¡°Is something the matter?¡± I questioned him. He tuned to me and smiled.


    ¡°No nothing, I hope to see you soon¡­ ¡°he slowed down.


    ¡± Colleen¡± I said. He nodded smiling.


    ¡°Yes, Colleen¡± he walked off waving goodbye, well that was it. I shook my head heading home. I got in the bus and rode in silence. My earphones plugged in my ears and the only sound my baby¡¯s heart beat, with no music, just the silence, of the little budum.


    The bus stopped and I walked the way home, getting home, I checked in on mother like always. There shey down a book In her hand. I took the book putting it on the side table, switching off themplight.


    I then walked to the kitchen preparing something to eat. I was starting and I can¡¯t exin how painful hunger feels. I quickly pulled out some ofst night¡¯s leftovers and heated it in the microwave.


    The microwaved beeped and I opened it taking out my hot and steamy te of food. I sat at the counter on one of the barstools and began eating. I don¡¯t know why but my mind kept drifting off to an earlier. I don¡¯t know why but I get the feeling I know him, which is very strange.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    I washed my dishes and headed straight for bed. Lying down on my right side, I listened carefully as my babies Heartbeat sounded in my ears. The sound was a melody in my ears. I began thinking about the future, about what ifs.


    What if alpha had not Rejected me, would I have been happy?


    Funny how I refer to him as alpha, cause I never called out his name casually, only once and I dont even want to remember. no one spoke much about him as muicgh in the pack, as one would excpect. He was just the alpha. But there were stories of him being cold hearted and cunning, him being bad and ruthless and mostly merciless. but no matter the rumours that circted around, he always stood and proud and he stayed as an alpha because he was known for his loyalty and love towards the pack. But the question that had always struck me was, why? why was he the weay he was? Why was he seen as such? well the questioned answered itself after that night. A man like him, one that stood as though eh had dignity was nothing but a yboy, that couoldnt differentuiate between right and wrong. my naive idea of


    I let my self think of an answer but nothing came to mind but slowly I was drifting off to sleep, and I was brought into a world of warmforting darkness.


    The next morning I hurried myself to get to work on time, I had woken upte due to my stupid half broken rm. I rushed out the door towards the bus, I lily I hot in there in time, I sat down and waited impatiently to get to work. The alphas house stood proudly, if there¡¯s a ce I would rather not be, it would be here, forever and always. I loathe anything that is rted to him.


    I got to work and began cleaning, I cleaned the kitchen first today since a few of our staff had gone on leave for a while. The a diffusing smell made its way through my senses, and I gagged, I had and urge to throw up, hurried I ran up the stairs and head to the nearest bathroom. I opened it and let my guts out and it wasn¡¯t stopping anytime soon. I felt a soothing touch on my back rubbing up and down but I couldn¡¯t and won¡¯t see who it was, but I recognized the voice anywhere.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± the deep voice asked, sending shivers down my spine, the voice belonging to none other than the alpha himself.


    I pushed back my hair and rinsed my mouth by the small sink near the toilet. I sat down, my back against the bathroom wall.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± I said breathlessly.


    ¡°Are you sure?¡± he questioned. Who the hell is he to act concerned.


    Hs face showed a worrrisome expression making me scoff at the scene before me. he looked as though Ihaddone something to rip his heart apart, meanwhile it was the other way around. this was truly something.


    ¡°I said I¡¯m fine!¡± I snapped irritated by his demeanore, ¡°so stop acting like you care all of a sudden. You rejected me, not the other way around. take a hint.¡± I said harshly, he flinched, before regaing hisposure, His eyes turned slightly ck in anger. Well, I got myself into this.


    ¡°Reese!¡± I heard his name being called out. Lillian made her way in the bathroom and looked at me in disgust, I shook my head at her and her childish behavior. was she honestoly someone i considered a friend? someone i cherished dearly? funny how people can change.


    ¡°Go home for today, I don¡¯t need you straining yourself, then ming me for any illness caused upon you¡± he said bluntly. Once a monster always a monster, once a villian always a viin, but once a mate always a mate. This man deserved to drown in ake, and by my two hands at that.


    But¡­ No matter how much i had insulted him, my pained heart stung longing for him. What a funny joke the moon goddess was ying on me.


    I looked away from him, gathering myself together. I don¡¯t need people like him in my life, I don¡¯t. I flushed the toilet leaving the bathroom not sparing a second nce.


    walking out of the house, the tears stung my eyes as i forced myself to hold them back. my precious tears did not neeed to be shed for people who did not deserve it. I walked to the bus stop, luckily a bus came minutester. I rode it to my street and got off, walking home I looked ahead smiling. i couldnt bring my gloomy self hime and worry mom.


    ¡°Come on Colleen, you are stronger than that!¡± I motivated myself.


    I put my keys into the keyhole, opening the door, and walked to my mother¡¯s bedroom only to see her with thepany, My eyes widened at the guest present. the man I had bumped into earlier was sitting across a tear-stained mother of mine. my heart dropped as I looked at her face.


    ¡°mom, what¡¯s going on?¡± I questioned, as they both looked towards me with serious epressions.

 Chapter Eight

    I looked between my mother and the man, confusion clouding my brain. They looked they had know each other for the longest time ever. its quiote baffling as i felt the same way.


    ¡°Colleen honey, wee home.¡± mom said wiping her face, smiling towards me, dodging my question.


    ¡°Thank you, but I had asked you a question mom, please answer me, are you hiding something from me?.¡± I asked her. She slouched a little shuffling ufortably.


    ¡°Colleen, honey take a seat. ¡± she said I sat on the other side of the bed, taking deep breaths. I looked at the man and then back at my mom.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°Please exin what is happening here.¡± I said calmly andposed.


    ¡°Well this is going to be difficult to say, but Colleen meet your brother, Daniel.¡± right then everything froze. Brother? I have a brother?


    I looked up to see him, and he smiled towards me. ¡°No he¡¯s not.¡± I said straight forward.


    ¡°Yes, he is.¡± mom persuade.


    ¡°If he was my brother, where was he when you got sick? Where was he when I needed someone most? Where was he when I was stuck in the hospital praying you make it out alive? Where was he? Someone who onlyesst minute cannot be regarded my family, and most of all my brother.¡± I said, now tears were threatening to fall out of my eyes.


    ¡°Colleen you have to understand that he couldn¡¯t have been there -¡± I cut mother off.


    ¡°No, he¡¯s going to do what dad did, he¡¯s going to hurt this family.¡± I said, remembering my pathetic father.


    ¡°Colleen that¡¯s enough! He is your brother and you will ept it whether you like it or not.¡± mom said loudly, I don¡¯t know why but in this moment I felt hate towards my so called brother.


    I let out a sigh and walked out the room. I could hear mother call out my name but I chose to ignore. I walked to my room, shutting the door behind me. He¡¯s going to betray us. All men are the same. That all use you when needed and leave you when wanted or when things get to difficult.


    I¡¯ve had enough and I¡¯m tired. But there¡¯s one thing I won¡¯t tolerate. Hurry me all you want but don¡¯t hurt my mother.


    A knock excited through my door and it doesn¡¯t take a genius to know who it is.


    ¡°Colleen, hey.¡± Daniel said softly. As he let out a sigh. ¡°I know you¡¯re mad at me for all these years but you have to know I did it to protect you and mom both. I¡¯ll be willing to talk whenever you¡¯re ready¡± he said.


    To protect? No! He¡¯s lying, he wouldn¡¯t, he won¡¯t, but I can¡¯t help but feel curious, I say silently in me bedroom as the clock ticked by. It was excruciating, having to think about what happened that night, call me crazy, but I seriously doubt remember, the only thing I actually remember is dad saying that we were worthless to him and he needed something more.


    Deciding, I walked out my bedroom to the living room where Daniel sit. he looked up and smiled about to say something. But I lifted my hand to stop him.


    ¡°I¡¯m not here for you, I¡¯m here because I want to know the truth, and our seems hope the only person who can tell me what happened that night. And you are going to tell me.¡± his series held disappointment and I looked away not being able to bare looking at  him.


    ¡°I understand, but I hope you can forgive me for making the decisions I made at that time.¡± he smiled this time round. I began fiddling with my fingers.


    ¡°Well, who am I to judge your choices after all you had a reason right?¡± I tried making him forget about his guilt. Sure I was still angry but I couldn¡¯t stand making people feel bad.


    ¡°Thanks for the reassurance,¡± he said smiling.


    ¡°Would you like anything, coffee? Tea? Water?¡± I offered. He shook his head no.


    ¡°no thank you, but have a seat I wish to tell you what happened back then  I¡¯m sure you don¡¯t remember since you were little but, to be honest, this was the cause of mom¡¯s sickness.¡± and that¡¯s what made me even more curious. But the things he told me next made me sick.

 Chapter Nine

    I lie in my bed as the words Daniel had reiterated floated around in my head. How could anyone think of such things? Let alone do. I couldn¡¯t exin the feeling that had burst their way into me. Father? i had no father.


    *¡±Our father was a man of many secrets and desires. being mated to mom just fueled his anger in doing what he wanted to do. though he tried keeping secret what he had thought would never be revealed, mom had slowly started finding out the man she had mated. A man with an abusive character, a man that made deals with the devil. A man that would sacrifice his family for his own benefit. That¡¯s who he Was. And he would do anything to achieve what he wanted.¡±*


    my breath hitched in my thoat. as his words continued to echo,


    *¡±Do you ever question why mom became the way she was? the reason why the dopctors cant do anything for her, yet she contiues to give you hope?¡±*


    *¡±Mom would never do that! shed tell me if it was hopeless, she would. wouldnt you mom?¡± I asked looking her way as she looked down.


    *¡±Colleen, He hurt her. He took her wolf away.¡± He said sshing the cold water of news directly at my face.*


    Honestly to think that such the image i had of my father, a loving family person, could turn to vile and non-human in a mere second, was absolutely sickening. Yes, I was angry at mom for not telling me about this, but I¡¯m more angry at myself for not noticing the most trivial things, like how she¡¯d never go out for a run with me, that all these years  she had been split in half, she wasn¡¯t her whole self. That she was¡­ lost.


    I rubbed my eyes as tears began rolling out if them, this was truly reality. Daniel had asked to mend our rtionship, but his excuses for saving our lives still made me angry at him for not telling me, why he had left the moment he chose to pack up and leave.


    *¡±why did you leave Daniel?¡± I questioned my brother, tears were threatening to fall out if my eyes.*


    *¡±I¡¯d never leave for no reason, you have understand the circumstance, Colleen. It was either you guys, or me. so how could i abandon the family i love so much? I would rater die, than make you guys a scape goat. his talent is to threaten. and its not a good thing if you take his thretast lightkly. so colleen, Pleasae undertand me?¡± He said with heaviness dripping in his tone.*


    My life was really messed up. First my mate rejected me then I find out I¡¯m pregnant, my brother shows up, turns out my father is a twisted man and my mom lost her wolf. Why is the moon goddess testing me so much? had i done something to deserve any of this? i couldnt understand if this was really the life i had to live. a life full of pain and rejection.


    I rolled onto my side as my mind continued to buzz with tears, soon my eyes felt droopy and I fell into a dark abyss of nothingness.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    *


    I woke up the next morning quite early and got ready for school, exhaustion held me back but I had to get going as today was thest day of my senior year. I guess things are gonna take a turn from here. I honestly didn¡¯t want to go to school, even though it really mattered that I did. I felt waves of tiredness roll into me as the thought of having to face the alpha and Lilly. why the alpha was gonna be there? GOD KNOWS, BUT Lilly. ha¡­ to think that my ¡°best friend¡± had really abandoned me as she had. all for the role of Luna. I cant vouch that i was a great friend, but honestly, id never does to her what she had done to me. funny.


    I got my school bag and headed to the kitchen preparing a small breakfast for myself. When I was fine, I walked to mom¡¯s room to set a te of toast and juice for her to eat while I was gone. Usually Lillian would knock on my door and we¡¯d head to school together, but now I was alone.


    I walked out the door locking it behind me and took my trip to school. I, personally am not ready. I walked through the school gates and straight to my locker. I was a few minutes early and luckily, only after  I had entered people starting piling up. I opened my locker begining to unpack my things. there was nop need to think about anything school rted for a couple months. now I needed to focus on the life growing up in me.


    Soon a bang on my locker got my attention. I looked up to see Lillian, I guess she¡¯s reced me with the school sluts. Good to know she¡¯s moved on. Sighing, I had no urge to pick a fight with this giirl. It just waas not worth it. Was tormenting people fun? didnt know she had that side to her.


    ¡°Whore What are you doing back at school?¡± I looked at her like she was a lunatic. Whore? me? I almost looked around to see who she was talking to.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know? why do peoplee to school on thest day?¡± I said in annoyed. She red at me before speaking up.


    ¡°You know I never knew what real friends were until I met Sasha and Alexandra they are true friends unlike people who have no standards and im others to be their mate,¡± she said cunningly as if those words would shut me down. But all I did was smile at her.


    ¡°Okay then, have fun with your friends,¡± I said mockingly and closed my locker walking away from her. I soon bumped into a hard chest, and the scent caught my nose.


    Can I FEEL ANY shittier than I felt in this moment? Probably not.

 Chapter Ten

    ¡°Sorry¡± I muttered under my breath. Yes, he¡¯s my ex-mate, but he is still my alpha.


    He kept silent and looked away from me. I quickly stepped aside only to trip over my own feet. Falling, I was waiting for the impact. But instead, I felt two arms wrap around my stomach and pulling me up. My nose caught his scent again.


    Shit, my stomach.


    I pulled away quickly as he growled towards me. I stepped away as he looked like a predator waiting to capture its prey.


    ¡°What is the matter with you?¡± He questioned, in all seriousness.


    I looked away from him, ¡°Nothing.¡± I answered bluntly.


    He stared at me a bit more, and now my palms grew sweaty. What if he had felt my baby¡¯s heartbeat?


    ¡°Colleen, What¡¯s wrong with your scent?.¡± he Questioned, as my breath hitched. Right now I feel like my lungs will explode.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing really,¡± I said thinking of an excuse. ¡°It¡¯s actually a new perfume I had bought, I thought I¡¯d try something new¡± Iied.


    He stared at me as I gulped. Yes, he deserves to know the truth, and yes I wanted to tell him. But I also have to think about myself. After all it is he who Rejected me, got me Pregnant and still had the nerve to lie and make me hated amongst everyone. this man was truly despicable.


    I looked away from him, as I remembered all the horrible things he¡¯d done. ¡°I need to getgoing.¡± I said harshly as I walked away from him.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    I had every right to be angry, every right to hate him. Every right to keep the truth hidden. He didnt deserve e, he didnt deserve to be with me.


    I entered the ssroom, and sat at the back. Soon the bell rand and everyone began fling the ssroom, one after the other. The teacher walked in and we began to do our work. imagibne thest day of senior year having actual preparotory work? what a school.


    Soon a wave of nausea hit my nerves. This was bad. I sprinted out of the ssroom, and my teacher had called out my name. Entering the girls bathroom, I opened one of the stalls and puked my guts out. It felt so sickening. was this what being a mother felt like? suffering with morning sickness.


    ¡°Heck if youre going to make me suffer, the least you can do is look more like me.¡¯ i thought to myself, looking down at my non-existent belly.


    Finishing, I rxed and my back hit the bathroom stall. I clutched my hair as I Sat down breathing. This really sucked. I began daydreaming, and soon I Walked back to the ssroom.


    ¡°Mrs. Daniel are you feeling alright, do you need to go to the nurses offices¡± he asked concerned. I would go to the nurses office, but she¡¯d tell Reese about it. And I definitely don¡¯t want him to know.


    ¡°No, it¡¯s okay. I¡¯m fine.¡± I lied. He nodded his head with a bit of worry in his eyes.


    I walked back to my seat and we continued to do our work. School was dragging and soon I felt tired. My back began hurting, and I felt dizzy. I walked down the hall, towards the library to read. I messaged mom, telling her I¡¯dete.


    I sat in the library as the words been to swivel and spin. I couldn¡¯t make out the words, but concentrated hard. Soon a Small migraine began taking effect. Someone else entered library, and did their work, soon my eyes felt droopy and tired. But like I said I wasn¡¯t going to sleep, but I was going to finish reading my book. And finish my homework. Today I have no duties at the alpha¡¯s house.


    Not being able to control myself I soon fell asleep on the library table and the book under my face. I let darkness take over and be weed in dreamnd.


    Soon I was shook awake and I came face to face with the old librarian.


    ¡°Colleen, are you feeling good?¡±


    She questioned me. ¡°you never full asleep like this, especially not in the library.¡± she said.


    I looked at her and smiled, shaking my head. ¡°I¡¯m fine thank you, if anything I¡¯m feeling great. It¡¯s just I sleptte so I felt tired.¡± I excused. She simply nodded.


    I packed the books that I was reading and I began heading home. Was I dropping hints? i froze in my spot.


    sighing in aggravation I picked a nearby bush. there was no way anyone would pick up from this right? i tried to coax myself. Knowing it was all futile, I sat down on the sidewalk pavement, pulling at my hair yet again. if I didn¡¯t rip anything out this time, I would say my hair was healthy as hell. annoyed by my situation I stood up taking a deep breath.


    looking at my stomach again, I couldn¡¯t help but poke it.


    ¡°It seems you want to make your presence known, isn¡¯t it?¡± I questioned quietly, as though the baby would hear me.


    God i must have lost my mind, due to all the stress i have been piling up the past week.

 Chapter Eleven

    I walked home, only to see the door unlocked. Panicking, I entered in a rush. Mom. That¡¯s the only thing that was running through my brain.


    trying to take deep breaths, i walked towards her room only for her sobs to scho through the hallway. i panicked slightly at hearing her quivering voice. Why was she crying? Soon I heard a voice. One I¡¯d never forget. One I¡¯d want to rather die than have seated in my home. rushing to the bedroom, I threw the door open, allowing it to m against the wall. my rage intensifying as our eyes locked. It made no sense for him to be here. He had no reason to be here at all.


    he sat near her bedside as moims eyes continued to water tears. just what had he done? was not tormenting me enough? did he have to torment my family too?


    ¡°What are you here?¡± I demanded. ¡°What!¡± I yelled, my heart thumping in my chest inn anger and i sadness. Mom, startled, jumped slightly, her eyes widening at my sudden outburst.


    ¡°I came to speak to your mother.¡± he exined non-chntly.


    ¡°Why would youe see her? as far as i knw there is nop business between you and i for you to pay my mother a visit.¡± My words dripping with venom.


    ¡°Indeed, There shouyldnt be a reason for me to visit, But you wouldnt believe me if i said i came to inquire about your well-being because you have been acting weird all day.¡± he said, his eyes shing an alien emotion.


    I instantly scowled at his words, who does he think he is? ¡°Forgive my behavior alpha,¡± I mocked, ¡°-but who are you toe into my house and speak of my well being, and that too especially with my mother? If you have a heart, you wouldnt be here right now.¡± I spat out.


    ¡°I am your alpha and i am your mate, so I do care, even if ive rejected you, the mate bond still exists. so i have no choice but to worry.¡± He spoke without a hint of emotion. Even though the words were not meant to have an effect on me at aoll, here i was, hurtby his words, hurt by his outward demeanor.


    ¡°Yes you are my alpha, but my mate? You lost the right to call me that the moment you uttered the words ¡®reject¡¯, or have you forgotten? and even if the mate bond is forcing your actions, wouldnt ignorimg it be in your best favour, alpha?¡± I asked him.


    He looked like he was hurting for a split second, but hurt and him, dod not belong in the same sentence. what ight did he have to feel ¡°Hurt¡±, he did not deserve that emotion. ¡°You seem fine, i guess i was worried for nothing.¡± he said as he stood up, his tall frame, a hand reach away.


    ¡°Then you may leave. being in your presence is sickening and i dont want to feel your phermones or your scent. Stay away from my family and Stay away from my mother. Get out of my Lif-¡± i froze i felt my nausea resurfacing. Why now? i wanted to kick something. unable to hold the urge, i ran, hitting my shoulder against the wall as a sharp pain made its way upo my arm, rushing out the door and making my way to the bathroom.


    I felt my breathing all as i emptied the contents of my stomach in the bathroom. breathing heavily, i felt my body weaken. This was the worst. A hand pulled my hair back bringing me back to reality. pushing away from him, I felt my back hit the bathtub. Ah, I was going to bruise today.


    ¡°Don¡¯t Touch me.¡± I spat out. as i tried steadying my breathing.


    feeling fine, i stood up and headed to the basin, rinsing my mouth. Turning around i came face to face with Reese¡¯s eyes. His body stood concerned as he watched my every movement. almost as though i was going fall and break at any given chance. my mind began to contemte telling him the truth. making him suffer and bringing him down. making him miserable in a rtionship tied to me. but¡­ I could noty do that. I couldn¡¯t do that to mysel and I couldnt do that to my child.


    ¡°I¡¯m-, Ihave been having food poisoning.¡± I blurted out. He stared at me for a moment to detect any motion of lies on my face.


    Not saying anything, he continued to observe my demeanor, before sighing and simply nodding as though seeing right through me.


    why did i feel as though i was about to cry? H e didnt deserve my tears. he didnt deserve my sympathy. he looked as though he hadn¡¯t slept in days, my heart clenching at the sight of his dishvelled appearance. shaking my head slightly, i refused to let myself fall victim to the mate bond. he had already broke my heart and lost my trust. He didnt deserve me, He didnt deserve¡­ Our child.


    He opened his mouth as though about to say something before holding back and closing his mouth. he put on a small smile, before speaking up, ¡°Well then, I¡¯ll be taking my leave now.¡± he said as he walked out of the bathroom.


    I heard the front door close as I bent down. *I hope I¡¯m doing the right thing*.


    Sighing, I walked out of the bathroom and into mom¡¯s room with a scowl on my face.


    ¡°How could you let him in?¡± I asked her, my heart aching.


    She smild sadly as she looked my way, her eyes holding a sorrowful look. He probablysaid something.


    ¡°Why are you smiling as though you¡¯re aboput to cry?¡± i queestioned with a tremble in my voice. ¡°What did he say mom?¡±


    She shook her head at me, ¡°I wish you¡¯d bpoth try to understand each other..¡± she said making meugh out at her words. ¡°Honey, know, he means well but is doing it in the wrong way, he just wants-¡± I cut her off.


    ¡°Understand? Mean well? Mom, he hurt me. He didnt even think twice before doing so. what more is there to understand? The least he couldve done if her wanted me to ¡°understand¡± was for him to talk to me, but what had he done? he humiliated me.¡± I said as the tears started rolling.


    Wiping away my pathetic stature and feelings, I simply turned to her, ¡°Mom, if you love me and you don¡¯t want me to suffer, don¡¯t ever see him again. Please.¡± I requested. ¡°I have work, ill see you soon.¡± I said making my way out of her bedroom, before she could answer.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    I got ready and walked out before saying goodbye to mom. I arrived at the house, my mind drifting slowly, only to be pushed down on the floor by one of Lillian¡¯s followers bringing me back to reality. Or should I say the ¡°Luna¡¯s¡± followers? This made no sense whatsoever.


    Soon a scream was heard. I swear if you were in Antarctica, you could hear it. Or even the ice three would Crack or better shatter into trillions of pieces.


    ¡°What have you done to my mate?!?¡± she screamed. Now I was very confused.

 Chapter Twelve

    I looked at her confusion. I seriously wanted to snort at her words, but he isn¡¯t my mate is he?


    ¡°What the heck do you think you are doing Lillian and what are you talking about?¡± I yelled at her in anger and confusion. All she did was re at me. Ha, she really was going crazy.


    ¡°Why would you hurt him? What are you trying to do!? Stop trying to ruin other people¡¯s rtionships. You¡¯re just like your father!¡± Her words made me snap my head towards her. Hurt him? Me? If anyone was hurt, it was me.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    I turned to face her angrily. Who did she think she was? ¡°What happens to your mate isn¡¯t my problem! It was him who came to my home in search for something or should I say my ¡°well-being¡±. So if something is going on with him don¡¯t ask me, ask I¡¯m directly and take it up with him!  And don¡¯t you ever bring my father into this. You know nothing, so don¡¯t try to act like you do. Stay out of my life and out of my way!¡± I said. It was people like her, backstabbing girls like her who infuriated me. Who was cowardly?


    Scoffing at my outburst, she felt speechless. Soon, she burst into tears, and I stared at her. That¡¯s all I could do, but at the same time Reese had walked in. What timing! God, she was such an actress!


    ¡°Lilly, what¡¯s the matter?¡± his tone of endearment stung. He questioned like a caring mate, and in honestly felt like a blow to my heart.


    Lillian cried harder as if it was the end of the world. I can¡¯t wait for the day she finds her actual mate. I seriously cannot wait. This Primadonna acting as though she had fallen in love with a man who was destined to be hers, meanwhile, she was well aware, he did not belong to her. Funny how power can make a person change.


    ¡°S-she hit me, insulted me, right in my own house, and what¡¯s worse is I didn¡¯t even do anything.¡± she lied through her teeth. No wonder why they want to be mates. A liar for a liar. Cheat for Cheat.


    Reese looked towards where her finger was pointing. Me. he seemed taken back at the sudden usation. me too man. His eyes searched for some truth in my eyes, but I looked away., sighing he felt confused as to how to handle the situation. why was he contemting? Whether he med me or not made no difference.


    ¡°Why would you do that, Colleen?¡± he questioned. All I had done was look him in the eyes.


    ¡°You tell me alpha, why would I do that, in fact what had I done indeed? I would also love to know how I had hurt our dear Luna.¡± I spat.


    He looked towards Lilly with questioning eyes, waiting for her excuse. ¡°Reese Fire her from this house! I can¡¯t live knowing the girl who insulted me is working right under our noses.¡± that just killed my vibe. Ban me? from this house? Was she serious? she made it look like kicking me out of the house was going to stop me from living. Lillian had officially be crazy.


    Loosing this job meant, loosing half of mom¡¯s medical fee. since she imed I pped her, she really deserved a p right now.


    ¡°You can¡¯t do that unless you can prove I had hurt you! I earn most of my livelihood working here, you can¡¯t just tell me to quit working. Stop being petty Just because the alpha had seemed down for a second.¡± I said. my eyes locked with Reese¡¯s; he wouldn¡¯t do something like Firing me would he?


    ¡°Brother, I think it¡¯s best to listen to what Lilly is saying.¡± his elder sister walked down the Stairs, ring at me. I wanted to kick something. Just What had I even done to her? What?


    ¡°Why should he do that? Why? Did I do something wrong? Did I Say something wrong? Did I break something? Steal something? Tell me! What?¡± I asked. All she did was look down at me. This whole family was crazy.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want you here. You¡¯re going to try and ruin my brother and Lillian¡¯s rtionship. Lillian told me about how jealous you are of her. She told me how you tried to sabotage her rtionship by iming an alpha was yours, an omega¡¯s, mate. She told me everything, from your friendship to your life, what you did to your father, how you hurt your mother. And mostly how you hate the brother who did nothing wrong to you.¡± she said.


    I couldn¡¯t help butugh.


    ¡°Funny How you got the information from some lunatic like her! What do you know about me?¡± I felt tears prickle my eyes, how embarrassing. but I couldn¡¯t allow me to cry. ¡°- No one has the right to tell me things that aren¡¯t true. That father you spoke of, he left me when I was still a child, that brother you said I hate, was threatened by my father with my mother and I¡¯s lives. And that mother you speak so confidently of, has lost so much, and can¡¯t even move, and has her only child looking after her. So don¡¯t speak as if you know anything. Because you honestly know nothing.¡± I Yelled.


    They all stood silently not uttering a word. ¡°You¡¯re right I should just quit. Working for a bunch of judging people, this isn¡¯t worth my life.¡± I then turned to Reese. ¡°you Rejected me, you took away my dignity, you hurt me, and now what more do you want from me? What more are you asking for? I left you in peace why can¡¯t you let me? Huh? What is it that you want from me? To die? To pray for the moment back and tell the Moon goddess I didn¡¯t want you? What? Tell me¡­. What do you want¡± I asked? Now I was in full-blown tears, crying, as I felt to my knees. Soon the olddy Caroline, who worked longer in this house than anyone and always took care of me, came to my side.


    ¡°I think it¡¯s best you leave Colleen; I think you should end your suffering. Please don¡¯t hurt yourself by crying, please don¡¯t hurt it.¡± I froze at her words. my eyes locked with hers as she looked at me with a smile. I felty my heartbeat increase. She knew. I tried pushing away from her, as I felt my shoulder twinge in pain.


    Finally managing to scurry away from her, I faced Reese who Looked at me as though trying not to believe what the old woman was implying. Scoffing, Reese stared at me in confusion, ¡°What is she talking about Colleen, hurt what or more Hurt who exactly?¡± he questioned.


    I kept silent as I walked back, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, she doesn¡¯t know what she¡¯s talking about.¡± I whispered.


    Stepping away from an upset Lillian, he walked Towards me as I took a step back. turning my back towards him, I made a run for it. about to grab me, he was pulled back, by his sister as his fit of rage grew.


    ¡°COLLEEN!¡± I heard him Growl, but it was toote. I wasn¡¯t stopping anytime soon.

 Chapter Thirteen

    my feet had carried me home non-stop. reaching the front door, my hands trembled as I tried turning the doorknob. seeding, I entered the house all the way up to mom¡¯s room, barging in, whilst throwing the door open. mom sat, with Daniel beside her.


    startled, they both froze at the sudden intrudance. Daniel seemed surprised as he put his hand on his heart as though he was about to die. calming down, he turned to face me, his eyes suddenly alert at my demeanour.


    ¡°Colleen, what¡¯s the matter?¡± he questioned.


    panting, I swallowed a lump in my throat which had made it hard for me to speak. what was I going to do? swallowing, I opened my mouth as my c=voice shook with every word.


    ¡°He knows mom¡­ and he¡¯s going toe.¡± I said with my heart pounding faster in my chest.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°Who ising?¡± Daniel questioned at the sudden exchange between mom and I. I couldn¡¯t bring myself to tell him what had happened.


    ¡°Calm down my love, pack up, you¡¯re going to France. there aren¡¯t any packs formed so you¡¯ll be just fine.¡± she said her eyes not meeting mine. what?


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? who ising? why are you leaving? you¡¯re not going anywhere if there¡¯s danger I¡¯m here.¡± he said as he looked at me sternly.


    ¡°Daniel, please¡­¡± I said not finding my courage.


    ¡°No Colleen, No.¡± he said not backing down.


    ¡°I GOT REJECTED!¡± I yelled in frustration as my heart clenched.


    ¡°¡­ What?¡±


    ¡°I pathetically fell in love with my mate and got rejected the same way. a man like him doesn¡¯t deserve us.¡± I said as his eyes widened.


    ¡°You¡¯re¡­ Pregnant?¡± he asked slowly as his eyes darkened.


    I looked down shamefully as I nodded at his question. Daniel growled as he turned around taking a breath. I couldn¡¯t face him. it was too embarrassing and it was too pathetic. to think, I thought finding my mate was going to be my blessing but turns out¡­ it was a punishment.


    ¡°Does he know? Daniel asked.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know, please Daniel, please. I need to get out of here I don¡¯t want him here, I don¡¯t want him near me. please Daniel.¡±


    Daniel growled looking pissed. ¡°What kind of idiot is he.!¡± he shouted banging the side table.


    Sighing he rubbed his temples, his head trying to process all this newfound information. everything was happening too fast. Daniel grabbed my hand dropping a credit card in, before pulling my wrist and dragging me to the car. was he upset? calling up a person, he put the phone down and began to drive away from the house.


    ¡°Where are we going?¡± I questioned


    ¡°I¡¯m getting you out of here.¡± he said monotonously.


    ¡°COLLEEN!¡± I could hear Reese¡¯s Growl.  But it was toote. I was not going to look back. he didn¡¯t deserve us.


    I felt a wet liquid on my hands, only for my vision to be blurry. why was I crying? I couldn¡¯t help but let the tears pour out, as my heart tightened in my chest. I couldn¡¯t let myself falter. he didn¡¯t deserve us. he didn¡¯t love us. he didn¡¯t need us.


    likewise¡­ I don¡¯t need him.


    **Reese¡¯s POV: (finally!!)**


    She was gone, and I couldn¡¯t chase her at the speed the car was going. this made no sense. I was meant to resolve everything, but I didn¡¯t think shed fall ill because of it all. if I had a choice, I wouldn¡¯t have dragged her into this.


    rushing into her house, I knocked on her mother¡¯s bedroom as she said a fainte in. she looked at me with a sad smile, before her expression turned pained. ¡°Edna¡­!¡± I rushed to her side.


    ¡°I¡¯m okay, it seems my body has gotten weaker than before.¡± she said sadly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry I couldn¡¯t stop her or change her mind.¡± she apologized as she stroked my hair. ¡°It seems our family has caused you a lot of trouble.¡± she smiled.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to apologize; I just wish shed stay for a moment longer so I could exin things to her better¡­. Edna, why did you let her go?¡± I couldn¡¯t help but let my conscious get the better of me.


    it felt as though my heart was being ripped apart knowing she wasn¡¯t present any longer. if hurting our rtionship meant shed be safe, I¡¯d do it a hundred times. but why was she so hasty? I couldn¡¯t understand her need to run away. I clenched my hand as I felt my myself draw blood. the moon goddess was ying tricks and it wasn¡¯t fun in any sense.


    ¡°Reese, you have to get her back! You have to exin things to her. she¡¯s young, she¡¯s fragile and she doesn¡¯t understand. you need to tell her.¡±


    ¡°How am I supposed to do that Edna without risking our lives? How am I supposed to find her? Would she believe me? we¡¯d get found out before I get to utter any words.¡± I said as I sighedbing my hand through my hair roughly.


    ¡°I sent her to France Reese, you¡¯ll both be fine there. since its more open, the chances of getting caught are slim. go to her Reese, you both don¡¯t deserve this. Exin things but show her your sincerity. she won¡¯t forgive you at first, but be patient with her, she¡¯s been through so much.¡± Edna Spoke out.


    ¡°Yes.¡± I said, I stood up, turning around the door mmed open, and before I could do anything I felt a fist connect with my jaw. My alpha instincts made me be fully aware and ready to counterattack.


    ¡°DANIEL!¡± Edna yelled as he punched me once again. I felt myself growl in anger, my pheromones making him fall back in dominance.


    ¡°HOW COULD YOU GET HER PREGNANT THEN REJECT HER! ¡± he choked out.


    my whole world froze. what?


    Pregnant?


    ¡°Pregnant? Colleen¡¯s pregnant?¡± I turned to Edna, only to see her guilty eyes. She looked away. My mate was pregnant and I didn¡¯t even realize it. She was carrying a part of me. So all the tiredness, all the puking, all the emotional breakdowns was because she was pregnant.


    And what hurts most is she was in pain, along with my child. I could¡¯ve hurt her. I could¡¯ve killed my own child. She was suppressing her feelings; she was breaking on the inside. But stood strong.


    ¡°Edna why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± I questioned her. She simply looked at me with tears eyes, but tears were already rolling out my eyes. I was going to be a father. And I didn¡¯t even know¡­.


    I banged my hand in the ground. ¡°That stupid mate of yours and his threats! If only I didn¡¯t, if didn¡¯t reject her, she¡¯d¡­¡± I said as a lump formed in my throat. haa, this was simply a joke. this whole thing was some kind of ploy. to think I hurt not only my mate but the child she was carrying.


    ¡°Reese, don¡¯t waste too much time! go to her.¡± Edna said.


    I had to get her back. I had to get them back.

 Chapter Fourteen

    I boarded on the ne, walking towards my seat. Sitting down I let myself look out the window. This was it. I was going to get out of here, away from the pain and sorrow that was following me around. I was going to get away from him, who had hurt me. I was going to live happily and I was going to live sessfully for both of us. My eyes brimmed with tears, as my heart clenched. A sense of guilt washed over me as the thought of taking away Reese¡¯s right to know of our child was eating me up. But thinking of what he had done to us, he didn¡¯t deserve to know. He didn¡¯t deserve us. Yes¡­


    This was a new start for me. A new life.


    Boarding off the ne, got off with nothing but Daniels card. Showing my passport I walked out of the airport, towards a nearby ATM, withdrawing some cash. For a moment I couldn¡¯t have felt happy taking some sort of French in high school. Hauling a taxi, I got in directing the driver towards a nearby hotel. Tomorrow I was going to go apartment hunting and we were going to settle and live well. Reaching the Hotel, I got off the Taxi, paying the driver.


    ¡°Bonne nuit (goodnight), madam¡± he said as he drove off.


    Soon I got to the reception and booked a bedroom. I entered the cold room. This was it for me. I was alone. No pack. No mom. No mate. Only me and my baby. Standing in the room I felt an emptiness consume me.


    Walking towards therge four poster bed, I sat down, my mind swarming with all the possibilities and impossibilities. I couldn¡¯t help but wonder what could have been if he had just epted me? If he had just loved us? He had just ¡­ wanted us. Tears brimmed my eyes as I let myselfy down the tears pouring out. I closed my eyes, allowing myself to hear the tiny badump of the baby¡¯s heartbeat. What had been done was already done and time couldn¡¯t be turned back. This was the reality¡­.


    I turned to my side as I silently sobbed. I felt weak and vulnerable. Could I really do this alone?  I wondered how he wasn¡¯t affected after the rejection, showing hisposure and his aura of being ¡°okay¡±. I allowed myself to hope that he would simply turn back and tell me he was sorry and he really did want me. I couldn¡¯t help but despise him for making me feel the way I was feeling, and I couldn¡¯t help but despise myself for allowing myself to feel so affected. I stood off the bed wiping my tears away and walking towards the dress mirror. I opened the side drawer, pulling out a pair of scissors,


    L-life giving


    U- useful and strong


    N-natural caretaker


    A- attractive


    I looked at myself in the mirror. I was neither of those, nor he didn¡¯t seem to see me fit any of the categories. My waist length hair had be shoulder length in a split second. I watched as my brown hair fall to the ground.


    Falling to my knees, I looked at myself in the mirror once again, as I cried into my hand. The continuous why¡¯s repeatedly echoing. Why wasn¡¯t it me? Why did he reject me? Why did I have to go through this pain? Why me? Why was I so weak? Why couldn¡¯t have been stronger to stand up better? Though its human nature to feel fragile, I wished I were simply stronger.


    cing my hand on my belly, I let myselfe to an eventual decision. I was not going to make my child feel rejected. My child was not going to be known as a rejected bastard. We were going to make it through and I was going to make it happen. Feeling slightly satisfied I felt a wave of nausea hit me.


    I stood up as I rushed to the toilet bowl puking yet again. I looked down at my belly chuckling slightly. From what I used to hear from the omegas on kitchen duty, a baby bump should form in about 2 weeks. I could do it. There was no time to feel weak. I walked to the sink, rinsing my mouth. And looking at my ugly tears stained face. Even a ghost would have run away. Washing my face, I skidded into the room, pulling the covers over me, I switched off themp light and lied down looking into the city through the window near the dressing mirror. Soon, my eyes began feeling droopy as I fell asleep.


    Everything was going to be okay.


    **Reese¡¯s POV:**


    I stood by the window as the evening slowly set in. My hearty felt as though it had frozen. She wasn¡¯t near me for me to feel if she was safe or not. I wanted to destroy everything and anything that stood in my way. I wanted her back and feeling weak and helpless I couldn¡¯t help but let her go because of a stupid threat. If I had realised earlier that her father is nothing without his stupid dark items, I would¡¯ve found a way to get rid of him earlier. Blinded by nothing but her safety, I couldn¡¯t help but follow what was said.


    How funny.


    ¡°Reese, honey let¡¯s go to bed.¡± Lillian¡¯s disgusting voice grazed my ears.


    Oh how difficult it felt to have to stand up looking okay every time she was near me.


    ¡°What are you doing here Lillian? We don¡¯t share a room.¡± I said monotonously.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be cold Reese. This is what mates are supposed to be doing. You¡¯ve been cold ever since you got back.¡± she asked. I said nothing making her sigh. ¡± Sometimes I question whether you love me or not, also, how long am I going to have to lie to everyone saying we¡¯ve mated, when in actual fact you¡¯ve been holding back. I can¡¯t keep wearing your cologne forever you know.¡± she spat bitterly.


    ¡°Lillian, there¡¯s no use rushing something as special as your first time. Who knows, maybe a better mate wille in my stead.¡± I said sarcastically, making her screech at my words.


    ¡°How could you say something so heartless. That¡¯s not going to happen. You are mine.¡± she said.


    It seemed he delusional her well enough for her not to make out who her mate actually was. Sighing, I couldn¡¯t help but feel my rage multiply. Sighing I tried to appease her.


    ¡°Lillian, please not now.¡± I said, trying to calm my nerves.¡± Let¡¯s talk about thister, please.¡± I said sweetly trying to persuade her. Her lovesick attitude allowed her to be swayed leaving me to my thoughts.


    Sighing I pulled at my hair. If anyone was going crazy it was me and honestly I just wanted things to go as smoothly as possible. My flight was scheduled for tomorrow, I was going to bring them back. I just hoped she was safe and continued to stay safe. I was going to exin everything and do whatever it took to gain her trust and love. She deserved my suffering at the very least, for what she¡¯s been through.

 Chapter Fifteen

    A week had gone by and continuously meeting with the real estate agent, I had finally found an apartment I felt was going to be it. I looked ahead of me, the wind blew towards me, my hair flying in different directions.  This was where I was going to stay for the next couple of years. The rent was decent and the ce had been ced a bit away from the suburbs. Sure it wasn¡¯t the quietest ces, but it should suffice if I needed to transport to and from. I touched the belly that was slowly beginning to show.


    My New life started here.


    Entering the apartment I headed to the bedroom, flopping myself on thefortable bed. I let out a sigh as I let my thoughts wander. It¡¯s just us now. Funny how lonely it sounded just thinking about it. Iid to my side, picking up my phone in hopes one of the ces I had applied for work to would call and let me know I had been epted. Getting away from Reese was one difficult thing but starting life a new in a ce unfamiliar and foreign was even more difficult. Sighing I stood up and made my way towards the door. I needed to get some fresh air. All of this was overwhelming. I smiled as the bright sun touched my skin.


    ¡°*Positive vibes, Collen!*¡± I said to myself trying to pick up my mood.


    Walking down the street I¡¯ve be familiar to for the past few days, I let out a deep breath. There was no fretting about what couldn¡¯t be changed. All the ¡°ifs¡± needed to be erased. I close my eyes for a moment, I suddenly felt myself bump into someone. Embarrassingly, it had enough impact to back me almost fall back. The person had caught my hand, helping me steady myself.


    ¡°Are you okay madam?¡± a deep voice questioned in a thick French ent. Shying away, i pulled away from him in embarrassment.


    ¡°I¡¯m perfectly fine, just a little clumsy and spaced out.¡± I smiled. I looked up only to be taken back slightly. He was quite good looking. Tall, with sandy blond hair and green eyes. He bent down studying my face for a second. I felt myself step back at how close this man was. Was there no definition of boundaries in this mand vocabry?


    ¡°You must be new around here, haven¡¯t seen a face like yours around this side of town.¡± he said hitting a nail. He must be acquainted with this ce. I nodded confirming his answer.


    ¡°We don¡¯t get a lot people moving in around here, they say it¡¯s infested with Vampires and Werewolves¡± he said making a wing effect with his hands.  ¡°-but that¡¯s not true, they¡¯re myths. The only thing you really need to be careful with is walking homete, cause then the only vampires and werewolves are those who harass everyone else.¡± he chuckled, I Laughed awkwardly along with his innocent gesture. If only he knew¡­


    ¡°I see¡± I said my eyes diverting.


    He looked at me and smiled, ¡°Forgive my manners, we have not even introduced ourselves and I was already bbering. I might seem like some weird man. Pardon, my name is Alex Montezuma. And who might you be?¡± he questioned.


    ¡°Colleen, Colleen Anderson.¡± I replied and he nodded


    ¡°I guess you¡¯re American, based on your ent?¡± he said.


    ¡°Yes, I guess the ent does give it away.¡± I smiled.


    ¡°You seem too young to be here on your own, are you here with your family?¡± he asked. I don¡¯t think we were close enough for him to ask that many questions.


    ¡°Ah, sorry, I seem to have made you ufortable.¡± he said realizing my difort. ¡°I guess that¡¯s too much of a personal question.¡± he smiled.


    He seemed to mean no harm. But it was still new ce that I was not familiar with. Nothing Better than being safe than sorry. His eyes drifted towards my belly a few times before clearing his throat, making meugh out loud at the curiosity that glimmered in his eyes.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry if this question is out of line but, are you pregnant Colleen, or are you like this.¡± he questioned pointing at the small baby bump.


    ¡®Always like this¡¯ that seemed a bit offensive. ¡°I happen to be pregnant, yes.¡± I replied a bit bitterly.


    ¡°Does he know? Your boyfriend or husband I mean, does he know you¡¯re carrying hid child?¡± he asked concerned. I shook my head. ¡°But don¡¯t you think that¡¯s bad considering, if he finds out he¡¯s going to take them away from you.¡± he said.


    ¡°he won¡¯t.¡± I said my mood dropping. If he did I wouldn¡¯t be here in this situation, now would I? He wasn¡¯t ever going to find me. Not like he was looking in the first ce.


    ¡°If I were your boyfriend and you kept this hidden from me, I¡¯d honestly hate you. But perhaps he did something for you to keep quiet.¡± I stared at him. This man was intrusive.


    ¡°Well, I don¡¯t think that s for you to judge, don¡¯t you think so Alex?¡±


    ¡°I guess I have crossed a line yet again. I¡¯m really sorry.¡±


    ¡°Well, I don¡¯t think that¡¯s any of your business. But even if there was a reason, I don¡¯t think I can ever forgive him.¡± I said my words prickling with thorns.


    He didn¡¯t deserve that kind of mercy. He didn¡¯t deserve that kind of forgiveness. He didn¡¯t deserve us.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    ¡°Colleen would you like to join me for dinner?¡± he asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think I should. Plus I need to head downtown, so I could check up for more avable work.¡± I smiled.


    ¡°Work?¡± he asked.


    ¡°Yeah, the food isn¡¯t going to put itself on the table and the rent isn¡¯t going to pay itself, you know.¡± he chuckled at my statement.


    ¡°Well, if its work you¡¯re looking for, I own the diner downtown, would you like to work there? We¡¯re a little short on hands, I could set an interview for you.¡± he asked with a bright smile.


    ¡°Really?¡± I asked.


    Was this the moon goddess¡¯s way of making things easier for me?


    ¡°Should we head there now?¡± he asked. I nodded eagerly. Something was finally going right in my life.


    **Reese¡¯s POV:** *(Sorry for the switches in POV, it will end soon!)*


    I had been here for a week, searching ce after ce. Being in a country where there aren¡¯t many packs, makes it difficult to track someone down. I hauled a cab after looking through a couple more hotels. Where could she have gone? Was she okay? Was the baby okay?


    Getting in the Taxi, I directed the driver to the hotel I had been staying at. The driver seemed to be in a good mood as he spoke about the trips he had been making to the airport and all the tips he had been given. Smiling along with him to appease him his next words had me frozen.


    ¡°There had also been that nice young girlst week who had tipped me generously.¡± he said.


    ¡°A young girl?¡± I asked furrowing my eyebrows.


    ¡°Yes, she looked American, well at least from the ent I had heard, seemed to be going through a lot at the time. I hope she¡¯s doing well.¡± he smiled.


    ¡°Do you know which hotel she stayed at?¡± I asked him.


    ¡°Hmm, I think it was Marine Gold, the one near the airport.¡± he said making me want to bang my head against the window.


    Of course shed stay there.


    ¡°Could you take me to that hotel then?¡± I asked as he nodded confused.


    I was going to find her, and I was going to find her now.

 Chapter Sixteen

    Reese¡¯s POV:


    Reaching the hotel, I paid the driver a great tip to wait for me as I enquired Colleen¡¯s whereabouts. Entering the decent hotel lobby, I walked toward the receptionist desk.


    ¡°Good evening, how may I help you?¡± thedy at the desk asked.


    ¡°Hi, um, I¡¯d like to enquire about a person. I think she¡¯s still staying here.¡± I said tapping my finger on the desk. .


    ¡°May I get a name so we can call them.¡±


    ¡°Colleen Anderson.¡± I said.


    Nodding at me the woman had pulled up her system looking though the clients. A few minutes had passed before she hade across anything.


    ¡°Ah, she had checked out yesterday.¡± she said, making my heart drop.


    I was a day toote. ¡°Is there any way to know where she had gone?¡± I questioned in worry.


    ¡°I apologize monsieur, that we have no information on, but she did ask for a real estate¡¯s number, so we rmended her to one. We only give you the contact number.¡± thedy said.


    I nodded epting any information they could provide. I needed to find her. I really needed to. The longer we were apart, the more the mate bond thinned. Thedy handed me a business card with an address. Looking at the operating hours, there was still an hour before they closed.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± I said gratefully as I rushed out, toward the taxi. Entering, I closed the door, giving the address to the driver. I tapped my foot impatiently as seconds turned into minutes. As the time neared I couldn¡¯t help but clench my hands into anticipation, until I caught sight of her.


    ¡°Stop the car.¡± I said to the driver.


    Stepping out of the car, I looked from the other side of the road.


    ¡°Colleen?¡± I said out loud


    She paused for a second, before turning around looking to see if anyone had called out to her. The moment our eyes locked, she took two steps back, as if she had just seen a ghost. From the way she was stepping back, my posture became more rmed. And in the next second, she took off.


    Colleen¡¯s POV:


    As our eyes locked I couldn¡¯t help but feel my blood run cold, as my heartbeat picked up. He found us¡­. He really found us. It made no sense why he was here and looking for us at that. Was hurting us once not enough?


    I felt a slight panic ovee me, so I did what I knew best, and ran.


    Running as fast as I could, I could hear his footsteps following after me. Picking up my pace, I caught sight of a park filled with trees. Turning quickly trying to lose him, he turned sharply, not missing my movements. Bloody alpha genes! He was hot at my feet as we continued to run as though ying a game of catch. Trying to lose him between the trees that enriched the park, the was a small stream blocking the pathway, to the other side.


    I paused for a second contemting, jumping in, and getting across or getting caught. Reese paused a distance away.


    ¡°Don¡¯t do it Colleen.¡± he said almost desperately.


    It was either now or never. Making my way closer I jumped in soaking myself to wet my scent in order to give me some time to escape. Reaching the other side, I ran deeper into the tree filled park. Reaching a distance away, I sat near a tree, sliding down, panting. It felt as though we were running for hours, when really it was only 10 minutes. Is this what pregnancy does to you?


    Calming myself, I couldn¡¯t help but feel anxious as to what was happening. He wasn¡¯t supposed to find me, he wasn¡¯t even supposed to know where we were, but here he was, chasing us. I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to even out my breathing. A sudden crack of a twig caught my attention, my wolf bing alert. I swiftly turned to scan the area, but there was nothing. Sighing I looked away.


    ¡°Maybe it was just my paranoia¡­¡± was what I thought until my eyes locked with red eyes.


    A¡­ Rogue? The scent so adamant, I quickly stood up on my two feet.  The distorted beast, made an appearance before me, slowlying toward me, as I took a step back. What are rogues doing in France? Mom had clearly said, there were not any packs, so it made no sense for a rogue to be present, the stench this wolf gave off was enough to say what it was. Lunging toward me, I tried dodging it only for my foot to give out, allowing it to pierce its teeth into my arm. Managing to kick it off, I took a step back as blood dripped from my arm, my vision became hazy and blurry. Taking this opportunity, it growled at me again, lunging forward, but this time I had no strength. Ready to feel the impact, I closed my eyes. Was I really gonna get beaten down by a rogue? The downsides of being an Omega.


    A few second passed and a grunt resonated in my ears. I looked to see none other than Reese. The rogue had been thrown aside, as Reese stood in his wolf form against it. Getting up, the rogue bared its fangs, as it circled us. Getting ready to lunge, Reese managed to dodge its vital attack, but his hind-Leg had gotten caught, making me wince. Kinking the rogue once more, he had managed to knock it into a tree brutally, and without a second to waste, he had caught a hold of its neck, biting into it, killing it slowly.


    Moving behind a bush, where I assume he left some clothes to wear, the crackling of bones snapping into ce rang in my ears, as he came out, wearing nothing but shorts. Making his way toward me, he scanned my body before his eyes locked with my arm.


    ¡°Colleen¡­!, Are you okay?¡± he asked as he tried to touch my face. I pped his hand away cowering away.


    ¡°What are you doing here?¡± I asked expressionlessly. Did he think after saving me, he could erase what he had done?  He kept silent as he looked into my eyes, not answering me. ¡°WHAT?!¡± I yelled out at him.


    Sighing he rubbed his face, before looking at me yet again. ¡°Colleen, you need to listen to me, there¡¯s a reason I-¡± He began to make excuses, but I had cut him off.


    ¡°I have nothing to listen to.¡± I said monotonously.  ¡°Can you be certain that everything that you¡¯re about to say is not an excuse? I¡¯m not stupid to trust someone whose already hurt me once.¡± I said, tuning away.


    Feeling his pheromones rise, I heard him growl in frustration before banging the tree beside him, making it shake. ¡°LISTEN TO ME!¡± he yelled.


    A short silence fell over us before he spoke out, after taking a deep breath to calm himself.


    ¡°Why did you do it? Why did you hide that you were pregnant, Colleen?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about.¡± I lied straight through my teeth. There¡¯s nothing that could give it away at this moment, my scent was still wet, the heartbeat was too faint and the little bump didn¡¯t attract any attention.


    He stared straight into my eyes before speaking again. ¡°Don¡¯t Lie straight to my face. I know you¡¯re carrying a part of me. That¡¯s why you ran away. But did it not cross your mind to tell me? WHY WOULD YOU DEPRIVE ME OF MY OWN CHILD? Yes I was a scumbag, a jerk, an asshole, say what you must, but did you not think about how important this would have been to me?¡± he asked.


    Wait.


    Hold up.


    Was he ming me? We wouldn¡¯t be in this mess if it weren¡¯t for him in the first ce. He yed with my heart, he yed with me, and shamefully I let him.


    ¡°Now why would I think of you in any situation Reese? Just why would I? As if hurting me wasn¡¯t enough, was I supposed to hurt myself trying to stay beside you? Let¡¯s get this right¡­ You. Hurt. Me. Not the other way around. You rejected me. Not the other way around. So why would I let us suffer? Is there a reason I should have stayed and let myself die with a hope that ceased to exist?¡± I questioned.


    I looked at him as he stayed quiet. As he looked away. Something was eating him up. He refused to look into my eyes and confess to his mistakes. ¡°I¡¯m trying to be happy here, so don¡¯t deprive me and my child of that happiness. Please just leave us alone. Besides, you have Lillian, there is no need for us anymore, you¡¯ll be happy-¡±Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°I did it for you!¡± his voice resonated cutting me off.


    ¡®What¡­?¡¯

 Chapter Seventeen

    ¡°I said, I did it for you.¡± I stared at him, I started at him through his eyes. There¡¯s no way, no reason. There can¡¯t be.


    ¡°Reese, please, you¡¯ve done so much harm, if you feel even slightly sorry for me, you will leave me alone and just stop.¡± I begged him.


    he seemed conflicted as the words I had said seemed to take a small effect. ¡°Colleen, Please, just let me exin.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°Please¡­¡± he pleaded.


    sighing I gave in. I guess there was no harm in listening to the excuses he made. but I was certain that I wasn¡¯t going to forgive him. all I needed to do was listen then chase him away.


    ¡°Fine but let¡¯s get back to my apartment so we can treat these wounds.¡± I said as I glimpsed at the dead rogue behind Reese. who was to say there weren¡¯t anymore?


    heading back, which was quite a distance, we entered the apartment as I headed towards the first aid kit. disinfecting and dressing our wounds we had attained, I made us some tea, handing him a cup and as I took a seat opposite him. a moment of silence overtook us as I cleared my throat getting his attention.


    sighing he looked me in my eyes a sense of shame, and a tinge of regret oveing him.


    ¡°Your father.¡± he said in simple words.


    feeling my hands tremble I put the cup down on the small coffee table.


    ¡°What?¡± I said with a shaky voice. I must¡¯ve misheard. ¡°What did you say?¡±


    ¡°I had met- no, I should say I had crossed paths with your father the night we¡¯d met.¡± he said looking down.


    ¡°W-why would hee back? it makes no sense. there isn¡¯t a reason for him to be here let alone meet you.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s what I had thought of at first, but Colleen, you have something he wants.¡± Reese said grimacing.


    ¡°What could I possibly have that would bring him here.¡±


    ¡°Colleen, are you aware that your father made a deal with the devil?¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°So you don¡¯t know.¡± Reese said with a sigh as he brought the teacup to his lips taking a sip. ¡°Well that night, our first time¡­ let¡¯s just say something unpleasant took ce.¡±

    **Reese¡¯s Pov (A birthday with regretting.)**


    ¡°Alpha, there¡¯s a Birthday party tonight being held tonight.¡± My aide, Derek spoke out.


    ¡°A birthday party?¡± I questioned as I continued looking at all the documents that seemed to continuously pile up day after day.


    ¡°one of the higher-ranking Beta¡¯s daughter is hosting it for a friend, and you ¡®re invited.¡±


    looking up towards him from behind the papers, I raised my eyebrow. ¡°You know I¡¯m not an event and party person.¡± I said shaking my head.


    ¡°This is a chance alpha! I can feel it! you may just find the mate you¡¯ve been waiting for.¡± he said trying to persuade me.


    ¡°There is another reason isn¡¯t there?¡± I questioned.


    ¡°Well, she¡¯s hosting it for her friend who is an omega, but she feels more people will attend if you¡¯re there.¡± he coaxed.


    so she was actually trying to attract attention and look for something? Lillian wasn¡¯t the type to go out of her way to throw a huge party for a friend, not with her character.  wasn¡¯t this too far-fetched for her, using a friend¡¯s birthday party as an excuse for a social gathering? I¡¯m sure people would attend even if I weren¡¯t there.


    ¡°Alpha, take a break and rx yourself! You¡¯re going to remain single for the rest of your life if you don¡¯t take  a leap to find your mate!¡± I ignored his rambles as I continued to look through the paperwork.


    throughout the afternoon he had pestered and bugged and bothered me, and it began hitting a nerve. goddess help me before I break his jaw. it was bad enough that we had an ample amount of patrolling to do, and meetings to attend. But it was even worse that we had to heed to the elders and their ridiculous suggestions and ns for the pack.


    ¡°This is thest time to request a favour like this. never again.¡±


    Feeling sessful he yelled out in joy, capturing the attention of the elders. ¡°You won¡¯t regret it!¡± he said as he sat down beside me again.


    little did I know how those words would bite back.


    *


    The so called ¡°birthday party¡± had already began and the birthday girl, might I add, wasn¡¯t even here. did they even know who the birthday was for? I felt irritated for some reason, and my wolf kept stirring, making be feel agitated and frustrated. I was already tired, but this was just too much. was this a punishment for neglecting my work to rx? that would be too much of a coincidence.


    this wasn¡¯t my type of atmosphere. but if it meant Derek would shut up I would take the chance. the door opened, revealing Lillian. I guess they were here. as soon as the person after stepped in a scent indescribable had tickled my nose.


    *Mate*


    haa¡­! so that¡¯s what it was. she was here! she had finallye to me. the mate I had been waiting for. my beloved. I began searching through the crowd of people, for her, for what was mine. I¡¯ve waited enough to get her, and I finally found her. the scent getting stronger, there she stood, her hair cascading down her back, her frame small enough to fit my embrace. sensing me she had turned around as my eyes locked with hers.


    ¡°Alpha.¡± and that voice I¡¯d know it anywhere. This voice belonged to none other than her. The girl everyone knew as an omega. the girl everyone would take a second nce at, but she was oblivious to her looks.


    Colleen Anderson


    ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for you.¡± I whispered in her ear, getting her to shiver to my voice. This was it. I had gotten my mate. I wanted her¡­ I needed her. only her. my Luna, my queen.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°y-you can¡¯t be, how? ¡± she questioned confused, her eyebrows furrowing cutely. she really was something.


    ¡°I guess the moon goddess paired us.¡± I mocked jokingly. She simply red at me for a moment.


    ¡°I refuse to be paired up with you.¡± she spat the words out like venom.


    was she ying hard to get? I don¡¯t know what image she has in her head of me, but that wouldn¡¯t be the reason she could get away from me. she was mine and mine alone.


    ¡°Well you¡¯re not rejecting me either.¡± I sated.


    Soon an arousing smell, trickled my nose. she shifted as her face flushed suddenly. my wolf was be more difficult to maintain. why now of all times?


    ¡°What¡¯s happening? Why are you in heat all of a sudden?¡± I questioned a bit panicked trying to maintain myposure.


    ¡°I¡¯d like to know too.¡± her eyes looked into mine dangerously.


    soon all the strings holding me sane snapped, as I pushed her against the wall, my mouth hovering hers. our kiss so passionate, I wouldn¡¯t trade it for anything in the world. pulling her into a spare room, I unzipped the dress the hugged her beautifully and finally mated with my love.

 Chapter Eighteen

    **Reese¡¯s POV: (Continued)**


    groaning from sleep I allowed myself to sit up. her scent washed over me in waves of sweetness and there was nothing more I wanted than to mark her as my Luna. my other Half¡­ My mate. she shuffled beside me before findingfort and snoring lightly again, making me chuckle at her cute behaviour.


    again, I really wanted to do it again, but not wanting to wake her up in the midst of her slumber I held myself back. Colleen Anderson. the omega of the pack. this felt like another alpha and omega tale that I¡¯ve heard countless times from those alphas considered rare. An alpha being paired with an omega was just as rare as an alpha being paired with and alpha. it was special.


    but.. just as much as it was rare it was also quite dangerous.


    sighing, I refused to let my negative thoughts get a hold of me. grabbing my boxers and pants that was misced on the floor I headed down to the quiet pack house. the party had ended a couple of hours ago, and what remained were drunk teenagers passed out on the floors of the pack house. they reeked of alcohol making me gag slightly. the one reason I hated attending gatherings like this.


    it was quite bizarre how the party continued for this long even without the person the party was being held for. I couldn¡¯t help but think over Dean¡¯s words of this being beneficial to the beta¡¯s daughter. taking my thoughts away from something that would just put me in a bad mood I grabbed a bottle of water and decided to make my way back upstairs towards colleen.


    ¡°I see you had a wonderful time.¡± a voice said catching my attention.


    I turned around toe face to face with a man I had never seen before, but his eyes. I¡¯d seen his eyes before. he sat in the dimly lit living room.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± I questioned.


    he simply chuckled at my question, my annoyance getting the best of me. I had no time for this. he stood up tilting his head towards me.


    ¡°The name¡¯s daddy of the girl you just slept with.¡± he¡¯s smile sinister and cunning.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    taken aback by his words I couldn¡¯t calm my urge to attack him. Colleen¡¯s father. the man that not only abandoned Edna but also her. Could I even call him her father?


    ¡°What do you want?¡± I asked as my hands clenched in anger. there was definitely something off about this man. ¡°I f you are worried I¡¯m going to hurt her, you can stop. she is my mate and I will love and cherish her.¡± I stated.


    ¡°Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. As expected of an alpha of a pack as powerful as this. but you see, Alpha,¡± he mocked. ¡°That¡¯s the problem, I don¡¯t approve of this rtionship and you¡¯re going to end it with her.¡± he smiled making me look at him as though he had grown two heads. give up my mate? was the reason he had left them because he was unstable?


    ¡°Rejection . and you¡¯re going to take another as your Luna.¡± he said. I stared at the man in disbelief. there was no other exnation. he had to be crazy.


    ¡°I refuse.¡± I stated firmly. Did he think I was an alpha for no reason? but I couldn¡¯t shake off the feeling that something was wrong with this man that stood Infront of. he looked weak, but the way he spoke made it seem as though he had something that I couldn¡¯t attack. not at the moment though.


    ¡°What if I tell you, that I can kill your mate in an instant, by just cutting a something she owns?.¡± he said silencing my thoughts.


    ¡°That¡¯s impossible.¡± I said darkly. ¡°You wouldn¡¯t be able to unless you-¡± he cut me off.


    ¡°it seems the alpha is aware of what I might have done to attain such a feat.¡± he chuckled. ¡°Well, what can I do if the dear old alpha doesn¡¯t believe me?  might as well prove it to you then.¡± he said as he walked to a random teenager  lying drunk on the ground. Pulling a strand of hair from the unaware teenager, he pulled out a pair of scissors and cut right in the middle. Walking up to the boy, his heartbeat began fading. What was happening? Why was this happening? soon after he started withering.


    he couldn¡¯t have¡­.


    ¡°It would hurt to know that your beloved Luna is next.¡± he said sickeningly.


    ¡°Why would you wish to hurt your own daughter?¡± I said as I red toward him.


    ¡°My daughter? she¡¯s nothing but my pawn to sess and her pain is my pleasure.¡± he said, as his eyes darkened.  ¡°It seems I¡¯m too lenient in negotiating, how about we put it to the test?¡± he said as he walked passed me up to the room upstairs in a speed. Running after him I pushed the door open only to see him running his hand through Colleen¡¯s hair.


    I took a step forwards as he pulled two stands of her hair as she slept soundless. ¡°now Alpha, what will it be?¡± he asked me seriously, his expression darkening.


    ¡°I will do as you say¡­. just stay away from her.¡± I said as heughed at my decision And just simply vanished into thin air.


    a deal with the devil. ha¡­. really and truly unexpected.


    I walked towards the bed, painfully as I slipped under the covers as I pulled her closer to me. I let my fingers run on her arms, and through her hair. she was going to get hurt, but if it meant finding a way to get rid of the pest that decided to turn our lives upside down, I¡¯d just hoped to the moon goddess she was strong enough to hold out.


    **End of shback**


    **Colleen¡¯s POV:**


    I stared at Reese in disbelief. My father. how funny.


    ¡°do you understand why I did it?¡± he asked desperately as I nodded.


    ¡°but why now, why tell Me now?¡± I asked him.


    ¡°I had to be sure that what I was dealing with was not going to hurt you in any way. and I know you may hate me for this, but I never felt as happy as I did making that decision, because not only would your life be in danger, but the life growing inside of you as well.¡± he said making my heart thump at his words.


    ¡°But how are you so sure that we are safe now? how are you so sure that we won¡¯t get hurt if we return to your side?¡± I questioned him.


    ¡°Like I had suspected there was something off about his power. and there was. just a couple hourster, the boy on which he had used an example woke up, alive and well.¡± he said making me sigh in relief.  ¡°but, whether within that time and now, if he¡¯s found a way to strengthen his power, I¡¯m not sure, but I am sure I can protect you. so Collen,e back to me?¡± he requested.


    ¡°I¡­ ¡±


    ¡°please?¡± he pleaded.


    ¡°Reese, I don¡¯t know, I don¡¯t know if I can trust you.¡± I said to him. Not that I trusted him before.


    ¡°Colleen, Please, let me protect you. let me love you. and let me work hard for the affection, trust, and forgiveness that I had lost. please¡­¡± he pleaded yet again.


    ¡°One chance, to be the mate I¡¯ve wanted, the mate I want to fall in love with. One chance, to prove you care and will cherish me. One chance¡± I said. A huge grin pped his face as he pulled me to his chest but froze as he felt my baby bump against his hard tummy.


    He bent down to my tummy level, lifting my shirt up a bit. He looked up at me for permission and I nodded, granting. He let his warm hand rub my tummy gently.


    ¡°Hi baby.¡± he whispered makingugh as my heart melted. Honestly, this is a moment I didn¡¯t think I¡¯d get to see. ¡°I¡¯m your daddy, and yes I know, I was being a bad man to mommy, but no worries, I¡¯ll make it up to her, in the best way possible and I promise to be here with you guys forever.¡± he smiled. He was being silly. I ruffled his hair making him re at me yfully.


    He stood up and walked behind me, as I pulled down my shirt, his arms wrapped around My waist. I finally had my mate back.


    ¡°Mon amour, Mon vie. Belle, merveilleuse, ¨¨blouissante, magnifique et toute ¨¤ moi. (my love, my life. Beautiful, amazing, stunning, gorgeous and all mine.)¡± He whispered in my ear. **(A/N, I¡¯m not good at French. so I¡¯m sorry if it¡¯s blegh)**


    A shiver ran through my body as he ced a kiss on my neck. It felt beyond, what I thought I would feel. I finally had my mate. And he was all mine. No one else¡¯s, mine alone.


    His hands rubbed my belly as he bent down continuing to kiss down my neck. I let my eyes close, at the pleasure I felt. He soon began sucking on the ce he would mark me, as I let out a loud moan.


    He turned me around as his lips captured mine. It was full blown passion, all though that¡¯s what I felt it was. He pulled me closer, but careful not to hurt the baby. My hands moved to the soft locks of hair on his beautiful head. His hands Then began to rub my sides as they slipped inside my shirt.


    I smiled into the kiss, as I thought, would this what it would be been like If nothing happened? If I hadn¡¯t gotten rejected?


    Feeling out of breath we pulled away from each other. Panting, might I add. He put his forehead on mine and looked into my eyes.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry I had to reject you, I¡¯m sorry we had to go through all this. I¡¯m sorry for all the pain I¡¯ve caused. I¡¯m sorry for all that you suffered for. I¡¯m sorry for not exining earlier, and I¡¯m definitely sorry for putting you through all this pain.¡± he smiled. ¡°if I could go back and change what had happened between us. If I could go back to that moment I rejected you. I would. But know I¡¯d do anything if meant protecting you and our baby.¡±


    My heart skipped a beat as he said, ¡®our baby¡¯, it sounded¡­ Nice. What was nicer was having him here, beside me.


    I shook my head and pushed him away. ¡°We¡¯ve had a long day, so I think I should hit the hay. I¡¯m tired right now. but.. I want to spend a bit of time here. Please?¡± I said to him.


    he looked reluctant at my request. ¡°I don¡¯t think that¡¯s a good idea Colleen, we just ran into a rogue.¡± he exined making. I put on a sad face making him groan and give in.


    ¡°How long do you wish to stay?¡± he asked me.


    ¡°Just a week or so, just to experience, quit my job for the fun of it, and visit some ces.¡± I smiled giddily.


    He looked at Me, ¡± 5 days. Remember, I have a pack to run and a Luna to introduce.¡± he negotiated.


    ¡°Deal!¡±


    My heart clenched happily. It was all a new feeling to me. Who knew I¡¯d give him a chance? The one I hate so much? Or should I say, have fallen in love with, even if he had hurt me so much? I know I must me a sadist, but you can¡¯t me me for loving the one made for me. Right? But a part of me hasn¡¯t forgiven him fully and can¡¯t trust him fully. But what¡¯s worse is, what happens with my father.


    ¡°what are we gonna do about my father?¡± I asked him as he tensed.


    ¡°I guess we¡¯ll have to deal with him on another way,¡± he said, his eyebrows furrowing.


    ¡°We¡¯ll get through this. there has to be a way.¡± I said encouraging him as he smiled.


    ¡°I hope¡± he whispered as he ced a kiss on my head.


    my mate. he was finally mine. and I was his.

 Chapter Nineteen

    the sun¡¯s rays shone through the curtain as the birds chirped continuously bringing me out of my slumber. a warm scent enveloped me as I turned away from the bright rays, only toe face to face with my fated pair. my mate. I couldn¡¯t help but let a warm smile ster its way across my face. I watched as his chest heaved up and down, his lips parted slightly as he breathed peacefully. His hair a frenzy all over the ce. he looked¡­ cute.


    instinctively I reached out my hand, brushing the hair that fell across his forehead and eyes. I couldn¡¯t believe this was actually happening. the events that had yed out thus far had made me sigh in annoyance. did I not deserve some sort of happiness? His arms wrapped tightly around me bringing me closer to him pulling me out of my thoughts. I chuckled at his actions . A groan left his lips as he opened his locking them with mine as they sparkled.


    ¡°Good morning.¡± I smiled.


    He pulled me closer into his chest as he kissed my forehead, holding me tightly, my bump, forming a small gap between us. it felt as though he was holding onto something that was going to disappear any second. almost like a child holding their favourite toy.


    ¡°Good morning.¡± he said huskily. As he smiled at me. ¡°Haa¡­¡± he sighed, ¡°I thought it was a dream.¡± he said making my heart flutter. I guess I wasn¡¯t the only one hoping all of this was real.


    I hit his bare chest as I tried pushing away from him, but all he did was pull me closer. ¡°Let me go, Reese, we have so much to do today!¡± I said as I finally pushed away from him. He let out a light chuckle as I walked to the bathroom. Freshening up, I finished with a light touch of makeup. Walking out of the bathroom, my mouth became dropped open at the sight before my innocent eyes. There, Reese stood in his half naked glory.


    ¡°Like what you see?¡± he asked winking, making me roll my eyes at his cliche line.


    ¡°Oh please, No, I¡¯ve seen so much better.¡± I lied to through my teeth trying to rile him up. I guess he didn¡¯t see thating, did he? I smiled to myself.


    He snorted at my response. ¡°Yeah, in your dreams.¡± was he challenging me?  I couldn¡¯t help but get flustered at his reply. he burst out into a full-blownughter at my reaction, hitting a nerve.


    I red at him from where I stood, before flipping my hair. Not that it went anywhere because of how short I had cut it. I tried regaining myposure as I scoffed at his words speechless. I walked away from him into the kitchen of the small apartment. A knock came I  through the door, as I began preparing breakfast. I walked towards the entrance opening the door slightly only toe face to face with a wide grinning Alex. I  couldn¡¯t maintain my surprise as to seeing him. did I tell him where I lived? Bringing me out of my wandering thoughts, He pulled me into a hug, and Growl echoed from behind me.


    Well¡­ this is¡­ bad?


    I turned around to see a stone-faced Reese. he held hisposure even though could feel the waves of anger rolling off him. Alex looked directly at Reese before smiling toward me confused.


    ¡°Colleen, who is he?¡± Alex questioned curiously.


    ¡°Her Husband. Who are you?¡± Reese said in a hard tone making me widen my eyes.


    *Husband?*


    ¡°You¡¯re married colleen?¡± Alex asked taken aback but the sudden news.


    ¡°No,¡± I said at the same time Reese yelled a yes, making us shoot daggers at each other.


    ¡°But what about your boyfriend?¡±


    ¡°This is my boyfriend, who supposedly became my husband overnight,¡± I said with a sigh.


    ¡°I though you guys were on a break.¡± he stated. Reese looked at me then at Alex.


    *Could this get any worse?*


    ¡°We were, now we¡¯re back. Can you get your hands off of her?¡±  Reese said demandingly as he stared holes into the hand Alex still had around my shoulder.


    Alex looked at his challengingly before removing his hand off my shoulder. something shed in his eyes for a mere second before he smiled towards Reese and me.


    ¡°Interesting.¡± he muttered, the words not escaping our ears.


    Reese stared his down in an authoritative way, and the more challengingly Alex looked at Reese the more Reese felt the urge to pounce on him and attack him. I couldn¡¯t allow that to take ce here. pping my hands I brought their attention back to me.


    ¡°Alex, this isn¡¯t a good time, We can hang outter, just give me a call. sorry that you had toe all the way here.¡± I said trying to usher him out of the apartment away from an angry Alpha. he looked at me with a worried expression.


    ¡°What if he hurts you and the baby, it¡¯s too risky.¡± he said, trying to make a tone concernce in his voice, making me raise my eyebrow at him.


    I let out a sigh, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he won¡¯t, he just hates other guys. I¡¯ll be okay.¡± I said to him. ¡°it was good having you here, bye.¡± I said I pushed him out the door and shutting it immediately.


    I blew out a tired breath as I slowly turned angrily towards Reese. ¡°Calm down he¡¯s gone!¡± I stated calmly.


    ¡°Who the hell is he?¡± Reese questioned in a cold demanding tone.


    ¡°he¡¯s a friend.¡± I defended.


    ¡°A friend?¡± Reese raised an eyebrow at me as though questioning my judgement. ¡°Colleen, Friends don¡¯t give off an iffy smell that you won¡¯t notice.¡± he said making me think he finally went crazy. ¡°I don¡¯t trust him Colleen, there¡¯s something off about him, and I don¡¯t like it.¡± he stated.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Are you hearing yourself? Sure I¡¯ve only known him for a short while but that does not give you a right to judge him. He¡¯s been nothing but nice to me¡± Which is honestly the truth.


    ¡°Coleen, can you listen to me for once. I¡¯m not saying this because of my jealousy, even I know how to control it. he doesn¡¯t seem right. I don¡¯t like him. either cut ties with him or I will make sure he does with you.¡±


    I red at him before looking away from him. ¡°oh moon goddess! why are you so infuriating? just because you came back into my life doesn¡¯t mean you can be controlling like the alpha you are!¡± I yelled.


    ¡°You know what? ¡­ I need some air.¡± he said as he walked out the apartment door.


    What the hell is going on with him? Something off with Alex? No Reese, there¡¯s something off with you. Ever since yesterday he hasn¡¯t been able to look directly into my eyes . there was something he was hiding.


    ¡°There is something you¡¯re not telling me. And I am going to know.

 Chapter Twenty

    It had already been an entire day since he had stormed out and time continued to pass as it slowly became dark outside. I waited patiently in the living room as my eyes kept ncing at the clock. I couldn¡¯t help but worry.


    I don¡¯t know what it is but something felt odd. From he¡¯s tantrum to his usation. My heart couldn¡¯t hold off. Yes, maybe I was still upset and yes, maybe the way things turned out wasn¡¯t his fault, but I couldn¡¯t help but me him a little. Sighing I leaned back on the couch as I closed my eyes in frustration.


    The door opened and closed in a bang startling me slightly as the sound echoed. Was he still mad? Sighing I heard his hurried footsteps as he made his way inside. Dishevelled, Reese looked like there was something after him. I furrowed my eyebrows at the sight before me. What was going on?


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you fight with someone?¡± I questioned him as my eyes made contact with the small cuts on his arms and face. He simply shook his head as he made his way to me.


    ¡°Colleen, we have to leave.¡± he said panting,pletely out of breath. I looked at him confused.


    ¡°why?¡± I questioned him.


    ¡°it¡¯s your father, he¡¯s here.¡± he said exhausted. That¡¯s when I saw the blood trickling down his face from his forehead. I gasped quite taken aback as I rushed to his side.


    ¡°Reese, you¡¯re bleeding.¡± I said getting up rummaging through the kitchen drawers for a cloth. He followed behind me and grabbed my hand Looking me dead in the eye inplete frustration.


    ¡°There¡¯s no time for that, Colleen, we have to get out of here. Pack what you need.¡± he rushed me. I nodded slowly and headed for the room.


    My heart thumped in my chest excessively as I grabbed a few items throwing them in a bag. Why couldn¡¯t a single day pass by without something of this sorting at us?!


    **Reese¡¯s POV:**


    *few hours earlier*


    I couldn¡¯t exin what was ticking me off. The Alex guy or Colleens so called ¡®friend¡¯ looked too familiar. I had seen him somewhere before; I know I did. But what had me almost ripping his throat out was the way he looked at her. He wanted her and that did not sit well with me. Just thinking about if I had been even a few days, not a mere few secondste she may have been snatched by the likes of him and that had my wolf agitated screaming for release.


    Sighing in frustration, I continued walking down the path we had used yesterday leading me back into the forested park. This ce was too much like our pack forest to be called a park, and it wasn¡¯t surprising, though packs didn¡¯t upy a certain ce, I didn¡¯t mean it was not impossible for rogues to. Last night¡¯s events just seemed to anger me even more. I walked deeper into the woods a stench blocked my nose.


    Laughter echoed through the forest, as I stood my ground trying to detect movement. The swishing of the trees indicated something was moving fast and it wasn¡¯t something I was not familiar with, but rather too familiar with. To think, I did not have to only deal with a crazy father but another maniac as well.


    ¡°It¡¯s funny how from the very first moment I saw you I didn¡¯t like you, turns out our natural born enemy can be sensed even if they try to hide their odorous scent. Show yourself.¡± I said as I felt my eyebrows furrow in frustration. I was already annoyed as it was and having to deal with this was more annoying.


    Two feet made their way before me, as my line of vision caught sight of him. Alex. Soon I felt a blow into my abdomen, I faltered back hitting a tree behind me.


    *stupid Vampire*


    ¡°What the hell are you doing?¡± I groaned out in pain¡­?


    Pain? It made no sense to feel pain for this long, I groaned as I fell to my knees, the only thing that would ever have me in this state was silver, turns out I underestimated him. I let out a small chuckle. I stood up before throwing a punch at him only for him to dodge it. My vision bing blurry as I tried to hold myself. I closed my eyes trying to heal myself slightly.


    ¡°I came to give you a message.¡± he smirked cunningly as he hit my leg from behind. ¡°Master says it isn¡¯t very smart of you to go against him, so now your dear Luna is going to pay.¡± he said making my eyes widen.


    ¡°I knew there was something off about you. You stinking Vampire!¡± I yelled angrily. My wolf was getting out of control, but I tried my hardest not to leash out. I could feel him surface to a point I felt I was going to give inpletely, I had so little control left.


    ¡°Oh, your Colleen wouldn¡¯t be happy to hear you speak to her friend like that, now would she? She won¡¯t forgive you.¡± he said smiling as he mocked.


    I couldn¡¯t help but furrow my eyebrows at his words. He speaks as though he knows her better than me. I growled in annoyance.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know who you think you are to her, but your funny ideas of trying to pursue her wont work. So I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re getting at.¡± I said as I tried keeping my breathing in check as I stood up. My wolf was getting closer and closer to the surface.


    He simply tsked at my words. ¡°Well I think I know i¡¯ll be more trusted than you.¡± He said.


    ¡°And what makes you think that?¡±


    ¡°Well, because I nted a seed of doubt!¡± he examined proudly.


    ¡°What¡­?¡±


    ¡°I nted a seed of doubt in her mind, so no matter how much she says she forgives you, how much she thinks you are right, how much she feels for you. There will always be a seed of doubt. A doubt that will tear you apart.¡± heughed. And that just ticked my wolf.


    I could start feeling my bones in pain. I was getting close to shifting. I can¡¯t give in now; I need to suck some information out of him. I need to know what he¡¯s getting to. Just a little more time.


    ¡°that will never work, a mate bond is stronger than anything. She will forgive me, believe when I say, that it WILL happen.¡± I said, believe myself for sure.


    Colleen wasn¡¯t weak. She didn¡¯t have a weak resolve. So no matter what tricks they yed shed get through it. That was who my mate was.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    He chuckled lightly. ¡°Oh Alpha, you do not know what you¡¯re getting yourself into. That girl is nothing but trouble. You¡¯re going to try so hard to get her to believe you and love you, but every time you do it will perish as if it never happened.¡± he said smoothly.


    ¡°The master or Colleen¡¯s father, won¡¯t hurt her right?¡± I asked carefully. Not wanting anything unnecessary to slip.


    ¡°Who knows? He is really a strange man. He can do strange things at strange times. But as for this? I think he¡¯ll allow it to y a little longer, just to watch to suffer. Just to watch you in pain. After all he does hate you.¡± that¡¯s what I needed. Colleens¡¯ dad¡¯s aim.


    I needed to know what and how he was doing the things he was doing. Only then could I take him down. He was nothing without that so-called power backing him up.


    ¡°We¡¯ve never even met prior to me meeting Colleen as my mate! He can¡¯t just hate me; we don¡¯t know each other!¡± I yed out. I just need a little more. Every time the idiot said her name or something  in regard to her that my wolf doesn¡¯t like, he kept pushing and pushing forward.


    ¡°No you¡¯ve never, but your father has. Something went around with your father and him, which he then learned to despise people and family, I guess that¡¯s what changed the master, but honestly I don¡¯t know why he too so much troubleing here, he¡¯s here only because he -¡± he cut himself short. I guess he¡¯s figured out my motives.


    He¡¯s here.


    That¡¯s what seemed to ring in my mind at the moment. Alexughed, venom in his tone.


    ¡°You are a very smart alpha. But not-¡± now I cut him short, as my canines shot out. I held him by his throat. Stopping the air passage. Just enough for him to pass out. I can¡¯t kill him. Not yet. Not until I can get more information. And I know he wille back to find me. He wille find us.


    Because he loves Colleen.


    And that seems to put me on aplete edge of contemtion, and there was nothing more I wanted to do than to kill him right there.

 Chapter Twenty One

    Reese sat agitated next to me in the taxi. My mind still confused about what was happening. We were leaving in such a rush. What happened? the sudden force he hade bursting in through the apartment door said it was not anything good. Just moments ago we had nned to stay for a bit and now this sudden change of events has taken a toll and he¡¯s dragging me with no exnation whatsoever. Here we were in an awkward silence. His fingers tapping his knee in impatience. His hands kept on going through his hair. His eyes focused on one spot as though burning a hole.


    What in the goddess¡¯s name was going on?


    ¡°Okay, that is it! What the hell is up with you?¡± I snapped. ¡°First you drag me with no exnation, then you tantly ignore my questions. just what is going on Reese?¡± I questioned.


    ¡°We have to leave, He¡¯s here.¡± he said. Yes, I know my father is here, but what more is there? What more is he hiding?


    ¡°Reese, you¡¯re not telling me something. Tell me exactly what¡¯s the matter. I know you¡¯re not only worried about my father, but you¡¯re worried about something else. Tell me.¡± I said softly as I held his face in my hands.


    his eyes locked with mine as he side, pulling away from me and looking out the window. He opened his mouth to say something but nothing wasing out. He looked speechless and baffled. He looked as if he were battling whatever was inside him.


    ¡°Nothing.¡± were his simple words. Did he not trust me? Or did he do something that he knows will hurt me? I couldn¡¯t help but let an anger spark in me, knowing he was treating me this way. I wasn¡¯t some kind of toy.


    ¡°Do you not trust me?¡± I asked. He kept quiet looking out his window.


    He didn¡¯t reply.


    He didn¡¯t even look at Me.


    Makes me wonder if it was the right choice to give him a chance.


    We reached the airport as Reese rushed out grabbing our small bags from the taxi¡¯s trunk. He grabbed my hand dragging me to the terminal. I pulled my hand out of his, ring at him. right now he had no right to touch me. if there was no trust there was no need to be in any physical contact. realizing my anger he sighed as we continued to walk.


    ¡°Yes, hello, I booked a ticket under Gold.¡± he said. The man looked at him and looked down to search for the ticket.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll print that out for now, you and you can head over there, till it is your turn to board.¡± the man said as he then handed our tickets and stood as they called row after row.


    when it was our turn, Reese ushered me forward as his eyes seemed to constantly wander around. who exactly was he looking for? my father? we boarded and found our seats as we sat down. the pricing atmosphere quite suffocating.


    ¡°Reese, please, tell me what¡¯s going on.¡± I pleaded with him. I seriously hate being kept in the dark.


    ¡°Look, right now, Colleen, all you have to know for now is, it¡¯s not safe. We have to keep look out. For all I know he¡¯s still looking for us. I don¡¯t want you stressing yourself or the baby.¡± he said.


    ¡°But wouldn¡¯t he just kill me if that was the case, since he has a strand of my hair with him?¡± I asked honestly.


    ¡°That would be what I would expect too, not that I would let him, but He won¡¯t do it. He¡¯s after something else and he needs you to achieve it. I just can¡¯t seem to pinpoint out what exactly it is he is aiming for.¡± he said bothered as his jaw ticked. I feel like a tool.


    ¡°Reese, You are hiding something else from and for some reason it¡¯s something you don¡¯t want to say, what did you do or more what did he say. did you meet him?¡± I asked him.


    ¡°No, I didn¡¯t.¡± he admitted.


    ¡°So how do you n=know he¡¯s after us? if he really did have a strand of my hair he would kill me, so why isn¡¯t he. how did you know he was there?¡± I questioned.


    ¡°I-¡°he cut himself ofContent ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°Were you lying to me?¡±


    He stared at me in disbelief. ¡°No, I wouldn¡¯t lie about something like that, why would you-¡± he cut himself short as if remembering something.


    ¡°Why would I what Reese? What is it you¡¯re not telling me?¡± I questioned him.


    He shook his head as he turned to me, looking me in the eyes. His face turning serious. ¡°Listen to me and listen to me good Colleen. You absolutely CANNOT afford to doubt anything I say. No matter how much you hate me or can¡¯t believe me, don¡¯t doubt me just trust me. Understand?¡± he said.


    I nodded simply. But deep down I know it can¡¯t be. I¡¯ve lost my will to trust him. I don¡¯t know why, but I can¡¯t. He can hurt me anytime; he can do anything. I don¡¯t know if what he told me was the truth, or why we¡¯re leaving do dangerous. I honestly want to trust and to forgive him, but a part of male refuses to. And I don¡¯t know why.


    I looked away from him with a sigh. He nodded and looked away as he made a phone call. My mind began to drift away.


    ¡°excuse me.¡± he excused himself. Soon he came back with a relieved face and  the flight began and we were off. All I seemed to think about was, why the hell all of this was happening.


    The flight was freaking 11 hours long with no stops and when we had finally reached I couldn¡¯t have been much happier. We got off and headed out of the airport. I guess I¡¯m back. I¡¯m home. Soon Reese grabbed my hand and walked in a total opposite direction.


    ¡°Reese, what are you-¡± he cut me off.


    ¡°keep your head low and keep close. He¡¯s right there.¡± I turned slightly only to see the man I hated and still hate and will forever hate. Standing with a smirk.


    My father.

 Chapter Twenty two

    I turned to look at him, and suddenly a smile etched it¡¯s way on his face. He nced my way, before he chuckled to himself. This man who had destroyed our lives and none the less abandoned us not soon after was there smiling. there was nothing more provoking or enraging than seeing him simply smile.


    ¡°Reese.¡± I whispered his name. He sideways nced at me before muttering a what. ¡°he can see us. He¡¯s watching us.¡± I said in a cold voice. Reese looked back and his eyes widened.


    He growled as he held me tighter and quickened his steps. ¡°walk with me and don¡¯t look back. Just follow me.¡± he said as he walked towards a bus stop. We boarded a bus and sat at the very back. Soon the bus began moving and I nced outside the window. There he was on the sidewalk with a sinister smile on his face.


    I shivered in fear and disgust. ¡°okay we¡¯re headed home, when we get home you¡¯re going to your mom, I¡¯m headed to my house.¡± he said, which hit a nerve. Why would he want us to separate at a time like this?


    ¡°Why can¡¯t Ie with you?¡± I snapped at him. ¡°Is it because you¡¯re going to be with your mistress?¡± I said. I don¡¯t know why but I did.


    Reese let out a sigh of frustration. ¡°I¡¯m not going to see any mistress Colleen; You are my mate. The only one. as for Lillian, I haven¡¯t even touched her.¡± he said expressionlessly.


    Liar! why would he lie as though what I had felt was a figment of my imagination?


    ¡°Liar! how could you look me in the eye and say you didn¡¯t when I had clearly felt it?¡± I said to him. How does he have the guts to lie through his teeth.


    ¡°Colleen,¡± he began but I curt him off.


    ¡°Was this what you were hiding from me the entire time so you could return to Lillian¡¯s side?¡± I snapped.


    ¡°Colleen, for goodness sakes, listen to me,¡±


    ¡°what is there to listen to? you¡¯re just hurting me again¡­¡±


    ¡°Can you listen to me Colleen! No, I¡¯m not lying, that burning sensation that you felt, that was just something your asshole of a father gave to drink, to make you think I mated with someone else and just as much as It hurt and burned you, it did the same to me. I would never do something so out of character. I thought we agreed that you wouldn¡¯t doubt a single thing I said,¡± he said assertively as his voice hardened.


    That actually shut me up. I groaned In stupidity. How can I doubt the person whose trying their hardest to protect me and our child?


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on with me,¡± I stated.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Just give it some time, it will slowly fade away,¡± he said making my eyebrows rise, what was he talking about?


    We rode the bus in silence. Neither of us speaking to each other. Reese kept a distance away from me, probably angry at my usation. But you can¡¯t me me, he broke my trust the first time didn¡¯t he? The bus came to a stop and we hopped off only toe face to face with the man we¡¯ve been running away from for that hour.


    ¡°Well, well, well¡± it sounded so not dramatic. ¡°Reese, I thought you were smarter than that.¡± my father spoke. ¡°Did you actually think you could outrun me?¡± he stated quite proudly.


    ¡°Outrun? That¡¯s not something I do, I just needed to see for myself.¡± he said.


    ¡°Oh my, aren¡¯t you a nosey one?¡± my father said as he let out augh.


    Reese kept his face quite neutral trying not to give anything away as his eyes simply kept locked with my father¡¯s his hand in front of me. ¡°What is it that you want from us exactly? make your intentions clear like you always have and will continue to do¡± he said, I watched as his eyes turned dark. As his wolf tried making an appearance.


    ¡°I always knew you were quite the cunning fool, like your father,¡± he said as Rees¡¯s hands fisted, his demeanour unchanging.


    ¡°Whatever bad blood that seemed to have risen between you and my father, is not something I¡¯m supposed to shoulder the burden of.¡±


    ¡°Oh but it is,¡±


    ¡°How so?¡± Reese was dragging out the conversation for some reason and I could tell.


    ¡°The moment you were decided to be mated by my daughter dearest; it became your burden. Reese, all his faults are yours now, it¡¯s all your fault now.¡± he said. ¡°I gave you simple instructions, rather you can¡¯t seem to follow, now I guess I¡¯ll have to think of something else. Such a hassle.¡± he said.


    He sounded¡­. Like a¡­. Child? A child looking for something fun to erase his boredom. but behind that boredom there was something else he was plotting.


    ¡°Why are you doing this?¡± this time it was I who spoke out. My voice shaky as the question came out.


    He turned to me, an insincere. smile taking over his face. ¡°Colleen baby girl! How are you, did you miss me? I know I did you.¡± he cooed as a wave of disgust washed over me.


    ¡°Answer the question.¡± I said to him.


    He huffed out a breath and turned to me. ¡°What¡¯s the use of being able to do anything and being bored. Now back to my new way.¡± he thought for a moment. ¡°aha! I¡¯ve got it.¡±  he smiled.


    Reese looked at me, and back at my father looking ready to pounce. But he held back for my sake.


    ¡°It¡¯s simple really, everyday you¡¯ll feel the sensation you felt the night after your rejection. Your precious mate needs to heal that pain and that means having to mate with you until it¡¯s gone. what better way to slowly kill you off, huh Reese? Oh but don¡¯t worry, my grandchild will be out of harm¡¯s way because I still need-¡±


    and suddenly Reese¡¯s eyes widened.


    ¡°Seems I have spouted too much,¡± he said before simply winking at me. A pain suddenly sparked through me as I fell to my knees, unable to handle it.


    Reese stopped and turned to me abruptly and in less than two seconds he was by my side.


    ¡°What¡¯s happening to her?!¡± he demanded from my father.


    ¡°Oh my, would you look at that, it has already begun!¡±.¡± he smiled cunningly.


    ¡°h-how do I make it stop, how do I make her pain stop. Tell me. Please!¡± Reese asked desperately. Almost helplessly.


    ¡°simple. MATING.¡± he said.


    ¡°Mating? I can¡¯t mate with her, she¡¯s pregnant!¡± Reese said flustered and confused but most of all angry


    ¡°Not necessarily physical mating. It¡¯s the simple task of a mating mark, did I not say my grandchild will be out of harm¡¯s way? She needs to mark you every night till dawn and of course you¡¯ll need time to rejuvenate, because she won¡¯t be simply marking you, she¡¯s going to be killing you.¡± he said.


    My insides felt like they were ripping apart. Reese pulled me closer to him until my face was right by his neck. ¡°bite me.¡± he said and that¡¯s exactly what I did.


    I bit him.

 Chapter Twenty Three

    Reese moaned in pain as I bit harder it was getting hard to control myself. After a couple of minutes I finally let him go. Panting heavily.


    Reese turned pale; his eyes lost its colour slightly. he helped me stand up as we turned to face my smiling father. Reese seemed quite weakened as he tried holding himself up though he looked he might copse at any given time.


    ¡°Well, that¡¯s not what I was expecting.¡± he said with a wide grin.


    Reese immediately growled towards him but his Growl sounded Faint, as he fell down to his knees. This must be the after effect if the bite.


    ¡°What¡¯s happened to him? Why is he feeling so weak?¡± I question in haste. My father looked my way with a smile.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already exined Colleen, your bite is going to slowly kill him, and If he doesn¡¯t get a good rest, he¡¯s going to damage because of bite marks, how fun.¡±


    ¡°Why are you doing all this? Why!¡± I shouted. ¡°There has to be a more reason to why you¡¯re hurting me and the people I love? What had I done wrong?¡± I questioned him, as tears rolled out of my eyes, no matter how hard I tried to keep them in, stupid hormones.


    ¡°aw don¡¯t shed those fake tears for nothing. Just like everyone has their own dark past, I have mine too. And that¡¯s for me to know and for you to never, ever find out.¡± he said, until a smile took over his face. ¡°unless you want to?¡± the wind blew into my face as I heard his words.


    ¡°I-I don¡¯t understand.¡± I said to him.


    ¡°I have a brilliant idea, if you find out the mystery about my dark past, the curse I have put up you will be lifted. But until then, suffer.¡± heughed childishly.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need for that,¡± Reese groaned.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± I questioned, was his life not important at the moment?


    ¡°At least give me a clue as to where I must search.¡± I pleaded with him. I don¡¯t want to be the reason Reese was going to die. I don¡¯t want to lose him just when everything was getting a little better.


    ¡°Colleen, don¡¯t, Don¡¯t you see what he¡¯s doing? he¡¯s distracting you¡­¡± Reese said weakly.


    ¡°Then so be it,¡± I said as I turned to my father, ¡°What am I supposed to do?¡± I questioned.


    ¡°Very well then, here¡¯s a clue. Deep withing the packs grounds, a journal lies, with an anonymous scribe. Seek it well and read it good, for the information withing will be unused.¡± he said. I looked at him utterly confused. ¡°You might want to get a room dot the night, cause it will be filled with bites.¡± he said as he vanished into the air.


    I helped Reese¡¯s weak form and helped him to my house, cing him on the couch. I walked further inside as I heard mom¡¯s Faint voice from her bedroom.


    ¡°Colleen?¡± she called out to me. It felt absolutely heart-warming to hear my name from her timid lips. I smiled, as I walked to moms¡¯ room.


    ¡°Mom¡± I said with tears at the corner of my eyes. She looked at me with soft eyes and a happy smile.


    ¡°Baby, you¡¯re back!¡± tears were rolling out of her eyes like the Victoria Falls. She pulled me into a warm embrace and held me so close as if her life depended on it. there was nothing more secure than being in her arms.


    ¡°I missed you.¡± I said to her honestly. She smiled at wiped the years from under her eyes. Soon footsteps thumped through the hallway. Mom¡¯s door opened and Daniel stood with a wide smile.


    ¡°You came back!¡± he yelled in joy. You¡¯d honestly think he was one of my girlfriends .


    ¡°Yeah I¡¯m back.¡± I reassured him. And honestly I hope that was for good. I mean with my psychotic father ying games I can¡¯t really say things are gonna get better from here on.


    A groan echoed from the living room. I chuckled to myself. But I can¡¯t really me him, he¡¯s going to suffer a lot from now. Especially since this so-called game has begun. Tonight is gonna be a long night. Tired, I yawned and turned to my side, closing my eyes.


    ¡°What¡¯s happened to Mr. Alpha downstairs,¡± Daniel asked quiet surprised.


    ¡°Mom, I met dad.¡± I said capturing both hers and Daniel¡¯s attention. She looked shocked, surprised but mostly worried.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°What¡­ did he do?¡± she asked in a shaky voice, sensing some difort in my tone.


    ¡°Well he¡¯s doing things almost inhumanely and wolfly possible, he¡¯s going to make me kill him¡­.¡± I said as my voice trembled with the realization that dawned upon me.


    ¡°Kill who, honey?¡± she said in a worried tone,


    ¡°Mom, I¡¯m going to hurt my own mate.¡± I said painfully as my hands trembled.


    she pulled me into a hug as she tried calming me down.


    ¡°Can you exin it a little more?¡± this time it was Daniel who spoke.


    Taking a deep create I exined the events that happened, mom looked like she was about to cry and Daniel¡­ More like he wanted to castrate my father.


    ¡°What are you going to do?¡± he questioned me.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. I guess I need to find more about what happened to him. I need to get some rest. I¡¯m feeling tired. I think I¡¯m gonna call it a night.¡± I answered them when it was actually midnight.


    They nodded as I retired to myfortable warm bed. I could hear Reese snore a little from the living room. Werewolf hearing. I smiled and turned to my side. But I couldn¡¯t help but wonder, if this became too much for him, would he abandon me? would he rather leave us and never look back? or would he rather stay and die at his own mates¡¯ hands¡­

 Chapter twenty Four

    *Reese¡¯s POV:*


    A scream woke me up. I suddenly fell off the couch I was sleeping on and hit the ground with a loud thump. my heart pounded in my chest as I made my way towards her. there was nothing more painful, then hearing her in pain.


    Another scream echoed through the house as my chest constricted and my heartstrings pulled. Colleen. Her name was the only thing that was going through my mind in the moment.


    I followed her scent to a shut door, I opened it in a rush and watched her hollow in pain. Sheid down in a crouching position as he scratched at herself.


    I tried making my way to her side as she held her hand up stopping me in my tracks, and in a pained and soft voice muttered firmly, ¡°No.¡±


    No? what did she mean ¡°No¡±. ignoring her words, I made my way to her side as she pushed me away as tears sprung into her yes. taking her face in my hand, I searched her eyes for a meaning behind her words but all she had done was repeat it again.


    my eyebrows furrowed at her words as I couldn¡¯t bring myself to understand what she was getting at. ¡°What t=do you mean by ¡°No¡± Colleen, whether you agree or not, it¡¯s going to happen,¡± I said with no trace of regret in my tone.


    She tried pushing me away, but I held her wrists bringing her to face my neck. ¡°You haven¡¯t rested, you haven¡¯t gotten back recovered from thest time, you¡¯re going to die. I won¡¯t do it.¡± she said her voice straight in as pain hit her. My heart clenched more, hurting. My mate was hurting but here she was worrying about someone other than herself.


    ¡°Listen to me Colleen, okay, I¡¯m fine see, I have recovered just fine my love, I feel great. Now please just do as your told and bite me.¡± I encouraged her with a lie. whether I felt okay or not was not the issue, we needed to sedate the pain and we needed to do it fast. I didn¡¯t have only her to think of, I had our child to think of as well.


    Stubbornly she pushed away, as tears began making their way out of her eyes. ¡°No.¡± she muttered yet again. ¡°your scent is fading.¡± she said bringing to my attention.


    ¡°Hey love, look, this is what he wants. he¡¯s manipting the way you feel. believe me, I¡¯m okay. Your father knows that by doing all of this, you would sacrifice yourself instead of him having to look for a way to sacrifice you. he needs you, so he won¡¯t hurt you, but by hurting yourself, you¡¯re giving him what he wants.¡± I exined, ¡°So please, just do it. I¡¯ll be fine. I¡¯m your mate and your alpha, I¡¯m pretty strong if I do say so myself,¡± I joked as she chuckled slightly. ¡°So please?¡± I begged.


    ¡°You promise You¡¯re okay?¡± she asked in a whisper as she sniffled.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°yes, yes, I promise, now please.¡± and she did, taking her pain away, a sigh of relieve washed over me.


    Her canines elongated itself in my neck, as I could feel myself get weaker, but that didn¡¯t matter at all, she was feeling okay and she wasn¡¯t in pain any longer. She bit harder as I groaned. my hands fisted as I held in my groans of pain. I felt myself loose some strength as holding myself became seemingly difficult. once she was sedated, she pulled away as I let out a sigh, smiling towards her. beads of sweat had now umted on  my forehead as breathing slightly became difficult, tying not to make anything visible I pulled away from her slightly.


    She looked me in the eyes looking for a sign of¡­ Something but found nothing and sighed in relief. She wiped the tears under her eyes and stared at me for a moment.


    ¡°please rest.¡± she whispered. And I smiled nodding at her. kissing her forehead, I stood up, my legs trembling slightly, as I walked out the door shutting it behind me. huffing out a breath, I stood against the wall, trying to gain some energy before making my way back to the living room and on the couch. I was going to have to rest and that was not even optional. I fell silent on the couch and my eyes automatically closed and darkness engulfed my weak, helpless, and defenseless body. And that truly scared me.

    **Colleen¡¯s POV**:


    I must do for it him. I must. I can feel him fading. His scent is fading. His breathing is shallow. My mate was dying, and I couldn¡¯t stomach the fact that it was I, who was taking him away from the world. I have to find anything and everything I can about my father, even if it meant risking my safety.


    standing near the window, I watched as the sunlight shone on the leaves of the trees making them slightly transparent. where was I going to have to start? if anything, I didn¡¯t even have the slightest idea of anything rted to my father¡¯s life and I never tried to find out. sighing I groaned in frustration.


    A kick in my stomach made me gasp in shock. Soon Reese was up again, with worry on his face.


    ¡°what¡¯s the matter, is it happening again.¡± a smile took over my face as I watched Reese¡¯s pale face furrow in confusion.


    ¡°they kicked.¡± I said to him. Even more confusion clouded his face.


    ¡°Who kicked? What is it colleen? Is something happening to you?¡± he questioned concernced in his voice.


    ¡°Reese! The baby kicked. I felt the baby kick.¡± Iughed in joy. A smile broke on his face.


    I gasped again as I felt him kick. I giggled and Reese looked so happy. ¡°Can I feel it?¡± he questioned. I nodded lifting my shirt and putting his hand over my tummy.


    He rubbed it slowly as a kick came in again. Reese smiled and continued to rub. ¡°I can¡¯t wait to see you; I can¡¯t wait to meet you. I can¡¯t wait to hold you. I can¡¯t wait to y with you. I can¡¯t wait to love you.¡± he said as he ced a kiss on my cheek.


    A tear rolled out my eye. I quickly wiped it away and put a smile on my face. ¡°and I¡¯m sure the baby can¡¯t wait to meet his or her father.¡± I whispered. And we sat in that position.


    I wish everything would be like this forever and always.

 Chapter twenty Five

    The suns rays shone in my face. I turned to face the other way only toe face to face with Reese¡¯s sleeping form.


    His chest heaved up lightly as he breathed slowly. His face was beginning to retain color and was not as pale as it wasst night.


    I let out a sigh and smiled as I lightly ran my fingers through his hair. He groaned pulling me closer and that¡¯s when the baby decided to do a flip in stomach. I gasped and smiled. I guess she¡¯s gonna be a gymnast.


    I got out of Reese¡¯s arms and made my way to the bathroom. I looked at my face in the mirror and let me tell you, I looked like I woke up from the dead. Sighing yet again, i brushed my teeth and took a hit shower. My body ached and my feet ached.


    My belly had grown a lot and it looked like I was almost 5 to 6 months pregnant. I wrapped a towel around myself and walked out the bathroom towards my closet. Reese sat cross legged on my bed as he rubbed his eyes. I guess he had just woken up.


    ¡°Good Morning.¡± I greeted. A wide smile took over his face as he some in his husky morning voice that sent shivers down my spine.


    ¡°Colleen, your mom booked an appointment to go see a doctor today,te in the afternoon.¡± he informed me. I smiled and nodded.


    ¡°Yeah, okay. I wonder what we¡¯re gonna have.¡± I said to him while biting my bottom lip. His eyebrows furrowed.


    ¡°Well in my opinion, I think it will be a girl.¡± he said. Typical answer. Iughed at his statement. ¡°Whatever you wish.¡± I said with a quiet ¡®hopefully in the end.


    He got up and strolled to the bathroom. I dressed once the bathroom door was closed and brushed my thick hair. Soon I walked down only to be attracted to the smell of eggs in the morning with a sweet aroma of toast and coffee.


    I came into view with the kitchen. There Daniel was standing as he prepared breakfast. Wow, my brother, a cook.


    ¡°morning¡± I said as I went to go grab a cup of coffee, only to be wacked with the spat my brother was using for the pancake batter. ¡°What?¡± I questioned him.


    He looked at me with a disappointed look. ¡°Don¡¯t you know pregnant women aren¡¯t allowed to drink caffeine?¡± he said. I shrugged my shoulder. ¡°Good thing mom made me go book an appointment.¡± he muttered as I rolled my eyes.


    ¡°Why the hell are you here anyways? I thought you were going to leave.¡± I asked him. He shook his head.


    ¡°Well you see, I was gonna leave after you had returned, but then I had caught a wiff my mate in this pack so I¡¯m looking for her. ¡± he said catching my attention.


    ¡°Daniel, you dog! How could you not tell me this?¡± I questioned the fool. He put his hand in his heart.


    ¡°Dog? Seriously? I know I am literally one, don¡¯t rub it in my face.¡± he said making meugh.


    Soon Reese came down a smile on his face. ¡°Why are youughing? did something happen? and why is yourbrothers expression¡­ quite¡­ twisted?¡± he asked making me smile widely. He kissed my cheek as a blush began taking over my face.


    ¡°Daniel thinks he had smelled his mate in the pack.¡± i said in excitement,


    ¡°Oh, really? Did you see them? if you managed to get a whiff, they were most likely in close proximity,¡± Reese exined,


    ¡°So you¡¯re telling me she was in close proximity and i didnt see her?¡±


    Reese hummed, ¡°Unless she was good at hiding that you couldnt see her, then you are going to have a force to deal with,¡± Reese said as he pat Daniel¡¯s shoulder.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    ¡°Why would she need to hide?¡± I asked as I creased my eyebrows,


    Reese rubbed my forehead as I swat his hand away. ¡°I don¡¯t need you getting creases on your face from all the seriousness.¡± he joked, I simply huffed.


    ¡°Everyone has their reason, but she¡¯lle out, its just a matter of time before her wolf continued to pester her as well.¡±


    ¡°Chin up buddy! its going to be okay,¡± i encouraged.


    Daniel smiled, ¡°Yeah, It is!,¡±

 Chapter Twenty Six

    The clock ticked, and the ce felt stuffy. Waiting in anticipation for the one person who could help. People passed by and people sat impatiently.


    ¡°Mr. and Mrs. Gold¡± I heard Reese¡¯s surname being called. Since when was I Mrs. Gold? even though the thought had rushed through my head, I couldn¡¯t help but let my heart feel giddy. We got up and headed towards the room.


    There in a chair sat a woman with a smile spread across her gentle face. ¡°Wee Mrs. Daniel¡¯s, Alpha. I¡¯m Dr. Caden and I will be your gynecologist for the rest of your pregnancy.¡±


    I smiled tightly and walked across the room. Reese say beside the bed as Dr. Caden instructed me to lie down. I rxedfortably on the ufortable bed as she lifted my shirt over my belly.


    Grabbing some cold gel, she squirmed it on my tummy before spreading the cold gel over my warm tummy. She then began an ultrasound.


    ¡°Oh look, there¡¯s your baby!¡± she squealed in excitement, I looked at the screen and to be honest my eyes filled with tears that was mine. That was my baby. The baby I was going to carry for the next 2 months. My baby.


    I grabbed onto Reese¡¯s shoulder as a smile took over his face. He was just as happy as I was.


    But soon, a serious expression overcame her face as she got closer to the screen. Wiping away her smile she turned to us clearing her throat. ¡°There seems to be a problem with this pregnancy.¡± she said.


    Reese¡¯s smile dropped as my hold on him got tighter. Nothing going to happen, nothing. I muttered in my mind.


    Reese nced towards me and then the doctor. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± he questioned; voice turned dark.


    ¡°This pregnancy is very risky to carry out alpha. If the Luna gives birth, there is a chance she could die or she could give birth to a still born child. On top of that her centa isn¡¯t sitting right,¡± she said. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± she added.


    ¡°I¡¯m sure there is something that can be done, right doctor?¡± I questioned, ¡°Right?¡± I asked again looking at Reese.


    Reese turned to the doctor expressionlessly, ¡°Doctor, there has to be some way,¡± he said.


    ¡°If you asked for my opinion, I would suggest a termination of this pregnancy, I¡¯m sorry,¡± She said.


    No ¡®sorry¡¯ could stop the tears from rolling out of my eyes. Why was this happening?


    ¡°Is there anything else? I mean, anything we can do to continue the pregnancy. I am sure there is a way,¡± Reese Said desperately.


    The doctor shook her head in denial ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but there is a small chance both mother and child will be fine.¡± she said. ¡°I¡¯ll leave you alone to decide.¡± she says as she stood up and walked off.


    I looked at Reese as he stated at the ground in a hard re. ¡°Reese-¡± I began but he cut me off.


    ¡°Not now Colleen. I¡¯m really not in the greatest of moods and don¡¯t you dare try and me yourself for something you can¡¯t control.¡± he said in a hard tone. ¡°Give the baby up.¡± he said making me freeze.


    ¡°What?¡± I whispered in shock. He didn¡¯t, he wouldn¡¯t.


    ¡°Terminate the pregnancy, Colleen¡± he said. I looked at him like he was insane.


    ¡°No.¡± I denied.


    ¡°Don¡¯t do this Colleen, don¡¯t carry it out, don¡¯t allow me to see our child Stillborn, please!¡± he yelled in anger.


    ¡°I refuse Reese! No! I don¡¯t want to give up that chance if my baby going to live. As risky as this pregnancy is,  I am not Going to Rob my child of that little chance of life.¡± I said as tears rolled out of my eyes.


    Reese walked up to me and carried my tears away. ¡°I know you want the baby, but please Colleen don¡¯t do this to me, don¡¯t do this to yourself, please, we can always try for another one, but please don¡¯t carry this out.¡±Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°what are you afraid of?¡± I questioned him with narrowed eyes.


    He kept silent and looked away. I grabbed his face and made him face me looking directly in my eyes. ¡°tell me Reese, what are you afraid of?¡± I asked yet again.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid You¡¯re going to break, Colleen. I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t make it, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re not going to get over the shock of losing a child, I¡¯m afraid¡­.¡± he pulled back. ¡°I need some air.¡± he said as he walked out.


    I couldn¡¯t answer of reply to what he had said before he left and even if he stayed, I wouldn¡¯t know what to say.


    I felt a kick on my tummy, and I smiled. I wasn¡¯t giving up my baby. I was to have it and he or she was going to get a chance if life, even if I wasn¡¯t going to be in it.

 Chapter Twenty Seven

    I sat patiently on the couch at home as I awaited Reese¡¯s arrival. I hadn¡¯t seen him since the news was directed to us. He seemed awfully disturbed. all he had told me was to go home before him, and he would see me when he returned.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    I felt my baby move, she or he seemed really energetic. I chuckled at the situation and got up walking towards the kitchen. Looking for my chocte. I looked high and low and let me tell It felt as if I was going to cry any moment. My beloved chocte.


    ¡°Mom!¡± I yelled from the kitchen.


    ¡°Yes honey?¡± She questioned a bit softly.


    ¡°Do you know where my bs of chocte are?¡± I questioned her in agitation.


    ¡°It¡¯s in the top cupboard, why?¡± she questioned. I smiled and opened the cupboard.


    ¡°Nothing really, just wondering.¡± wondering if I could grab a b or 2.


    I saw the chocte stacked up. Grinning like a fool I reached for it, only to notice my size. Why do I feel so short? was I always this short? I looked for the small stepdder we usually had in the kitchen, but it was nowhere in sight.


    Grabbing a bar stool, I climbed on it carefully getting my bnce, I reached for the chocte, only to feel the chair turn beneath me making me lose my bnce. This Colleen was the stupidest move you could have ever done. I made a sharp turn as I hit the ground falling on my back. The bar stool falling in the opposite direction.


    The pain in my back became unbearable as tears streamed down my face. not Soon after, Daniel came running into the kitchen, a horrified look on his face.


    ¡°Colleen, are you okay what happened?¡± he questioned, but I couldn¡¯t answer as only a throbbing pain lingered in my lower back.


    he lifted me up bridal style as he began walking towards the door of the house, grabbing the car keys.


    ¡°I¡¯m taking you to the hospital!¡± he said in a panicked tone.


    ¡°Daniel, I¡¯m fine really, I fell on my back, nothing¡¯s wrong, I¡¯m okay.¡± I reassured him as I wiped away my tears.


    ¡°Reese isn¡¯t going to like to know you fell, what the hell were you thinking!? You could have endangered yourself and the child.¡± he looked at me with angered eyes.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I just got caught up in the moment. But I didn¡¯t just fall, it felt as though someone slightly moved the chair me.¡± I tried to reason with him.


    He looked at me like I had grown insane. ¡°that fall Must have messed up your head. Come on Colleen! Was there some ghost or something.¡± soon the door opened and shut, and Reese¡¯s scent filled the room? I clutched onto Daniel¡¯s sleeve, and looked at him with a pleading look. ¡°please don¡¯t mention any of this to Reese.¡± I asked him.


    ¡°He deserves to know what happened-¡± I cut him off.


    ¡°please Daniel.¡± I said to him. He let out a sigh as Reese walked in the living room.


    ¡°hey¡­¡± I said sheepishly. He looked at me with a sorry look. Daniel walked away and Reese came close to me sitting right beside me.


    ¡°Hey, look Colleen, I know I wasn¡¯t the best at that moment, but just know I¡¯m sorry for the way I reacted at the doctor and I¡¯m ready for this, ready with for decision.¡±


    Right now, I wanted to cry. I looked him on the eye. And hugged him, my baby bump keeping a distance between us.


    I held his cheek as I kissed him passionately. I can¡¯t believe, the Reese Gold actually apologized. Iughed a little as I pulled away.


    ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go, I¡¯m sure you must be tired. Let¡¯s take a little nap.¡± he said with a silly grin, as he lifted me bridal style heading to my bedroom.


    ¡°You know it¡¯s going to start again tonight.¡± I reminded him. All he did was briefly nod. I smiled as I slept, and heid right beside me.


    ¡°Colleen why is your dress torn? Did something happen?¡± he questioned as he showed me the ripped part of the clothing with worry painting his face. The fall.


    ¡°it¡¯s nothing, I probably didn¡¯t see where I was walking and perhaps it got caught somewhere and ripped.¡± I made an excuse. Guilt wasted over me, knowing I practically lied to my mate about something that could be a danger to me and his child.


    Reese looked at me briefly, before nodding and he began rubbing my feet, to say it felt good was an understatement, it was amazing. I rxed briefly and closed my eyes, soon I felt tired and was beginning to pass out.


    I felt the bed dip beside me, as a kiss was ced on my forehead. ¡°I love you.¡± those were the words enough to make me freeze.


    Reese¡­. loved me?


    Unknown POV: (Character 1 mystery.)


    I watched carefully as the door opened, and he stepped out. My mate.


    ¡°Reese, I¡¯m headed out, I¡¯ll be back a bitter.¡± he said. I hid in the bush as I watched his beautiful body walk out onto the streets.


    Daniel¡­ was his name. So sweet, so nice, so¡­ Mine. He liked around for brief moment as he caught my scent. But slouched when he couldn¡¯t see me.


    I¡¯m afraid to show myself, I¡¯m afraid¡­.


    he¡¯ll reject me.

 Chapter Twenty Eight

    Iid down on the soft bed silently as Reese¡¯s words echoed through my head. I couldn¡¯t get a wink of sleep for my afternoon nap.


    ¡°I love you.¡±


    Did he really love me? His arms draped over my body pulling me closer to his warm chest. I was afraid of falling in love with him, of giving him my heart. What if I got hurt? Even though what led us to the entire rejection was my father, there was still a small part of me insecure and doubtful.


    I got up and moved away as he shuffled slightly and slowly fell back to sleep. I walked to the kitchen, pouring a ss of water. I knocked on mom¡¯s oak door as she said a sweet Faint e in¡¯, I walked in a smile on my face. She smiled happily towards me once we had locked eyes.


    ¡°How¡¯s my baby girl doing?¡± she questioned.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine mom.¡± she looked at me with furrowed eyebrows.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Come on, you can tell me.¡± she pushed, I let out a sigh, as u flopped down on the chair by her bedside.


    ¡°Mom, I¡¯m afraid.¡± I said to her. She looked at me confused.


    ¡°Afraid of what honey? My strong brave girl isn¡¯t afraid of anything, so hey afraid now?¡± She asked.


    ¡°Mom, Reese said he loved me, but¡­ I¡¯m scared. Scared of getting hurt, heartbroken if I let him in.¡± I exined. She shook her head as her small gentle smile to over her calm face.


    ¡°honey you¡¯re not afraid of falling in love, you¡¯re afraid of not being loved. You think he¡¯s not genuine, sincere, so you¡¯ve be extremely scared that what if he doesn¡¯t love you the way you want to be loved.¡± she exined.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    I kept quiet and still. I¡¯m not afraid of not being loved, am I?


    Daniel¡¯s P. O. V:


    I strolled down the streets as my mate¡¯s scent faded. I couldn¡¯t get my head around it. Why was my mate hiding from me?


    I let out a frustrated groan as I walked into the town diner. Sat at my usual spot in the back as I ordered my usual coke and double patty burger. Tines two. What? A werewolf has got to eat right?


    I felt someone prate holes through my head as I continued to eat. It felt weird butforting at the same time. I was still a bit Pissed at Colleen for not telling Reese about her fall, and I hope it doesn¡¯t bite her in the ass.


    I finished my meal paying and walking out the diner. I showed my hands in my pocket as I pulled out the letter.


    Come back or face the consequences.


    It was written in my father¡¯s terrible handwriting. I don¡¯t know if that man deserves to be called father after what he¡¯s done. He is a sick monster. Absolutely crooked and twisted and I font know how else to describe it.


    I felt someone following me, but honestly it was starting to irritate me. I wanted to be alone yet, no one seemed to get a hint. I¡¯m on edge about my mate, my sister, and my father. I did not need any more worries when I break the guy¡¯s nose.


    I continued to walk as the person continued to follow, the small footsteps echoing in my ears. I hid behind an alleyway, as the person passed by an inch. I grabbed them and pulled them into my chest as I said down.


    ¡°Make a peep and I¡¯ll hurt you.¡± I warned. The person shut their mouth and I looked to see them hidden under a ck raincoat. On a sunny?


    The person pulled back and sat opposite me against the other wall.


    ¡°Why are you following me?¡± I questioned in an aggravated tone. I was seriously on edge. And my wolf was wing toe out. ¡°I asked you a question!¡± I growled out as I pushed back the coat hat and ripped the coat.


    I turned to look at the culprit only to have my breath stuck in my throat. Here before me stood, the most beautiful girl I¡¯ve ever seen. Her caramel skin smooth, her light brown eyes looked like she could stare into your soul, her hair ck with light brown tips. She was¡­. Beautiful.


    And she was my mate.


    ¡°mine¡± I said possessively as I wrapped my arms around her body. ¡°Why were you hiding from me mate?¡± I questioned the small girl. She was perfect. Just perfect her strawberry and vani scent filled my nose as I pulled her closer to me.


    ¡°I wasn¡¯t hiding, I was just a bit shy¡­ to confront you.¡± she said in a whisper.


    ¡°my name is Daniel and what¡¯s yours?¡± I questioned her curiously.


    ¡°It¡¯s Brita.¡±


    ¡°Brita, that¡¯s really a beautiful name. My Brita, my mate.¡± I said as I learned down and let my lips im hers.

 Chapter Twenty Nine

    Reese walked into mom¡¯s bedroom, with worries eyes. As he looked at me, calmness washed over him, but his eyes still held worry.


    ¡°what¡¯s the matter?¡± I questioned.


    ¡°nothing, it¡¯s just I thought I felt something wrong with the pregnancy. I don¡¯t know what it is, but it doesn¡¯t want to go away.¡± he said making me freeze.


    ¡°y-Youre probably imaging things. Nothing happened, as you can see I¡¯m alive and well.¡± I said. He couldn¡¯t possibly know, right?


    ¡°yeah, you¡¯re probably right. Hey, do you wanna move to my house?¡± he questioned. My eyes widened at his suggestion.


    ¡°As in, Me and you, alone in our own home?¡± I questioned as he nodded. I looked towards mom who gave a slight nod. ¡°I guess, yeah.¡± I said with a small smile.


    ¡°Okay then.¡± a wide grind took over his face. ¡°We¡¯ll move today.¡± he said as I nodded. He walked out leaning mom and I.


    ¡°What happened that you haven¡¯t told Reese?¡± she questioned. I let my eyes fall in guilt.


    ¡°I may or may not have fell from a bar stool while trying to reach for chocte.¡± I said. Mom gasped and looked at me in shock.


    ¡°Colleen, you need to tell him, what If something happened to the baby? What if you made your pregnancy more riskier?¡± she interrogated.


    ¡°Mom I¡¯m fine the baby is moving fine, I can feel it. I know I¡¯m fine and


    Reese doesn¡¯t have to know, it would crush him to know I fell, so please mom, don¡¯t tell him.¡± I pleaded.


    ¡°Colleen this is going to be your downfall, if soon somethinges up and the doctor notices something wrong, he is going to find out, do tell him. The base of a rtionship is trust, if you base it on dishonesty and deception you will break anything and everything you guys have.¡± she said. I nodded.


    ¡°I Will tell him but not now.¡± I promised. I will, it¡¯s just a matter of time.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Very well then, go pack you¡¯re leaving soon.¡±mom said as she shooed Mr out of her room, a small chuckle left my lips as I walked out. I walked into my bedroom, packing bag after bag, shoe after shoe.


    Soon I was done and Reese had knocked on the door to see if I was ready. I nodded as he grabbed my bags. I bid farewell to mum one more time and Daniel was nowhere in sight so I could say bye.


    Reese¡¯s car was parked outside the door. He put my bags into the back and he helped me enter he car, soon we were driving down the tarred road. The car was silent as we sat not uttering a word.


    We neared the gigantic house I once cleaned, as Reese parked the car in the driveway. I hopped out as 2 people came to collect the bags. ¡°make sure to put them in my room.¡± he ordered. They nodded and off they went. Opening the door, Reese walked in with me falling close behind him. It¡¯s been some time since I hade to this house. I seriously missed it.


    Reese grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him, a small smile tugging his lips. ¡°Why are you smiling?¡± I questioned him in wonder.


    ¡°Nothing, it just feels good to have my mate in my house.¡± he said, sooning down the stairs was Helen with Lillian by her side. I rolled my eyes at the soon to be drama toe. Ugh.


    ¡°Reese, you¡¯re back?¡± Helen questioned. He nodded and kept a stoic face. ¡°Why is she here? Did she do something?!¡± she asked in disbelief as hate slurred with her words.


    ¡°No, I¡¯ve simply brought my mate home with me, and I don¡¯t know why Lillian is still here?¡± He questioned in frustration.


    ¡°Lillian Is here because she is my loyal friend, she is a very good person, but thismoner, low life is not someone you wee into your house. Mate? Reese are you serious? Is that supposed to be some kind of joke?¡± she questioned.


    ¡°You see Helen, I told you she¡¯d brainwash your brother now he doesn¡¯t even know who his mate is.¡± she said. Oh how I wanted to p the male up on her face.


    ¡°Why would you say that? What have I done for you to be this¡­ Bitch? What? Did I do something tell me Lillian, or are you jealous your mate isn¡¯t someone with a high ranking?¡± I questioned. Lillian soon burst into a stream of tears. Seriously? I haven¡¯t even said what was in my mind yet?


    Helen gasped at her ¡®friends¡¯ tears and looked at me with hatred. ¡°how dare you make her cry.!¡± she said as she raised her hand to p me, soon Reese¡¯s hand shot out and held it, his eyes turning dark and soon golden as he let out a Growl.


    ¡°Touch my mate and I will kill you, sister or not.¡± he furrowed loudly making even me flinch. Tears brimmed her eyes as she watched her big brother carefully. ¡°You.¡± he pointed at Lillian ¡°Leave immediately now!¡± he said as she walked out with pain. ¡°and you¡± he sneered at his sister. ¡°You will apologize to your Luna and my mate right this instant, I¡¯m so disappointed in you, I never thought my sister could do such a thing.¡± he said as he let her hand go and walked away full on rage.


    His words seemed to take a toll on her as her eyes filled with tears. She looked almost upset. Did she love Reese so much that even his words affected her? I turned to her as she looked at me in anger.


    ¡°See! Because of you my brother is now angry at me. I hate you so much! Lillian was right, your kind of people are the worst, you use people¡¯s money and power and then you leave them and I will hate you forever. And let me take an oath now, if you even dare to hurt my big brother, I will personally kill you. Without a doubt.¡± she said as tears rolled out if her eyes. She looked at me once more before walking away.


    Reese came back in and looked at me with sorry Hidden in them. ¡°Did she apologize? If she said something tell me now. I don¡¯t know what has gotten into her.¡± he said.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay Reese, she apologized, but she is really overprotective of you so don¡¯t get mad at her.¡± I reasoned. He nodded as a wife grin overcame his face.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go up to our room, yeah?¡± he asked a smile took over my face.


    ¡°Sure.¡±

 Chapter Thirty

    I smiled as Reese took my hand in his as we made our way up the stairs. We opened the door to his dark bedroom. Curtains draped, room dark, isted.


    I switched on the light only for my smile to falter. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± I questioned.


    Reese seemed to stiffen beside me as he came into view. ¡°Aren¡¯t I allowed to visit my beloved daughter?¡± he questioned with a sinister smile on his stupid face. Why can¡¯t he leave us alone?


    ¡°I repeat, why are you here?¡± I questioned him. He looked at means let out a yawn.


    ¡°I¡¯m bored Colleen, so I came to check up on my daughter and grandchild.¡± he said making me freezepletely.


    ¡°Were fine, now go away.¡± I said to him. He looked at me for a brief moment before shaking his head. ¡°No.¡± he said.


    ¡°What do you want from me?! From us?!¡± I yelled at him in frustration.


    ¡°like I said Colleen, I¡¯m bored. So I came to tell you something. The curse is gone now, it was boring from the start, I thought Reese would die by now, but I see he is an irritating pest.¡± he insulted with a sneer. ¡°So I came to tell you something that I think will quite capture your attention.¡± he said with a smile.


    I red at him. ¡°Nothing you say can be of any interest to me.¡± I finalized. Closing my eyes.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°Very well then, if your sisteres by, I won¡¯t guarantee her life.¡± he said. I snapped my eyes open, only to see he was gone.


    ¡°sister? Colleen you have a sister?¡± those words just rotated in my mind.


    Sister.


    Sister.


    Sister.


    I have a sister that I don¡¯t know about. And she¡¯sing to see me, but he wants to end her life? I won¡¯t let that happen.


    ¡°Reese I have a sister!¡± I jumped in joy. All I can do is hope he didn¡¯t harm her or say anything to break her.


    He let out a sigh and took my hand in his one more time, before lifting me up bridal style and walking us to the bed. He dropped me lightly on the soft mattress and hovered over me.


    He brought his face close to mine, his minty cool breath touched my warm face he then captured my lips with his. Involuntarily my hands moved to his neck pulling him closer. The kiss deepened quickly and it vegan feeling hot.


    His hands roamed down my body as the the kiss was heating up. I felt I was going to Faint. He pulled back and looked me in the eyes, brushing the strands of hair on my face to the side. ¡°I love you.¡± he whispered.


    My heart beat against my chest as if it were going to burst out. ¡°I love you so much, I¡¯d die before any harm came before you and our daughter. All I ask you is to never doubt my love for you. Do you promise?¡± he said catching me off gaurd. And daughter?


    A small smile etched it¡¯s way on my face. ¡°I promise.¡± I said to him. He grinned like and idiot and kissed my forehead.


    He got up off the bed. ¡°You can start getting settled in, I have some pack basss to attend to. So please make yourselffortable.¡± he said gently as he got up and walked out of the bedroom.


    Right then my face heated up as I remembered what we had just done. And the funny thing is, I don¡¯t regret it like I thought I would. Letting out a sigh, I got up and walked towards the bathroom. Soon a nice kick got me hard by my belly.


    I looked down with a scowl. ¡°you little devil, do you want your leg toe through my tummy?¡± I questioned as I felt a lighter kick. ¡°that¡¯s better.¡± I smiled as u got into the bathroom stripping and getting under the hot shower. My tummy was getting bigger by the week¡¯s and honestly it was really amazing. I smiled as I rubbed my tummy. ¡°Please don¡¯t leave me, please don¡¯t make Reese sad.¡± I pleaded lowly.

 Chapter Thirty One

    I woke up to an empty bed, no Reese next to me. It made me frown a bit knowing he wasn¡¯t there. Letting out a sigh, my feet plopped on the cold wooden floor as a shiver ran up my spine.


    Walking into the bathroom I looked at myself in the mirror, my hair all over the ce, my eyes puffy, my face looked¡­ Horrendous.


    Shaking my head I stripped naked my belly looking almost 8 months pregnant. I rolled my eyes at the Werewolf cycle. Stepping under the hot shower I let myself drown in the amazing feeling.


    Soon I was out and ready. A knock the door downstairs caught my attention. It sounded urgent, troublesome almost. My heart felt a bit heavy.


    The knock echoed hardly yet again as I hurried towards it. ing¡± I said. I opened the door only toe face to face with a girl younger than me. She looked fragile almost. Her hair had twins in them, her eyes looked dead. She smelt. Like A Rouge.


    ¡°Luna!¡± the gaurds yelled. ¡°Step away from the Rouge, she is going to hurt you!¡± the said as they neared. I watched as the girl clinged onto me.


    Soon they came and tried pulling her off me. ¡°please don¡¯t let them take me back.¡± she said catching my attention.


    ¡°guards! Leave her be, she is under my care.¡± I said.


    ¡°but Luna-¡± I cut them off.


    ¡°No. It¡¯s okay, please you may leave.¡± I said as I shut the door in their faces. Bringing the girl inside she was shaking in fear.


    ¡°thank you.¡± she said a small. Smile on her delicate face.


    ¡°it¡¯s no problem. Child tell Me, what is it you are doing on thisnd?¡± I sounded so motherly! Hah!


    ¡°My name is ir Rose I¡¯m. Looking for Colleen.¡± she said making me freeze.


    ¡°Why are you looking for her?¡± I questioned curiously. She opened her mouth to say something but quickly shut it.


    ¡°Forgive me Luna, but I¡¯ll only tell her.¡± she said promising. Making meugh to myself.


    ¡°Okay then tell me.¡± I said to her making her eyes widen.


    ¡°You¡¯re Colleen?¡± she asked and I nodded. A huge smile broke into her face. ¡°I never thought I¡¯d finally meet my sister!¡± she said making me smile.


    ¡°So you¡¯re the sister that insolent father told me about.¡± she was about to answer until the house door broke open almost breaking off its hinges.


    Reese walked looking ready to pounce. He looked angry. ¡°Get away from my mate Rouge!¡± he yelled acting tough. Idiot.


    I rolled my eyes before clearing my throat. ¡°That¡¯s my sister you¡¯re speaking to, don¡¯t even start.¡± I said making his eyes widen.


    ¡°You actually have a sister?¡± he asked like an idiot making meugh. ¡°Yeah¡± I rified. All he did was nod not uttering another word.


    ¡°Wait here guys, I¡¯m Going to fetch something.¡± I smiled as I headed up the stairs. Opening Reese and I¡¯s bedroom door, I searched for the pendant I had made just yesterday for the arrival of my sister. I know I¡¯m awesome.


    Cheerily I pped the smile on my face and headed to wards the steps only to hear a whisper. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have cone back.¡± the voice said before I felt a hand push me. I Lost my bnce loosing the first step.

    ¡°So tell me, why are you here exactly?¡± I questioned the petite girl in front of me.


    She looked scared of me for a moment before actually opening her mouth to speak. ¡°I ran away and I¡¯m here for my sister. And don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know what you did to her, I¡¯m not one to easily forgive.¡± she said catching me off gourd and making me Growl at her.


    I snorted at her words. ¡°and I¡¯m not one to easily ept rouges in my pack.¡± I said to her.


    ¡°Oh shame then, I¡¯m not leaving pup.¡± she said. Me? A.. P-pup? Who does this rogue think she is?


    ¡°you¡¯re one to talk you Runt.¡± that got her blood boiling.


    ¡°you can call me short, chubby, cute, ugly, I don¡¯t care but no one calls me a runt! You hear me you alpha! Just because you¡¯re my sisters mate, it doesn¡¯t mean I can¡¯t break your pretty doll face.¡± she insulted as I red at her. We red at each other for God knows how long. ¡°And I wonder how Colleen will feel knowing her mate is picking in her little sister?¡± sheughed in victory as I scowled.


    ¡°Listen here you little sly runt fox, if you want war I¡¯ll give it to you, but don¡¯te and cause problems for me and my mate. Yes I was a jerk before, but I¡¯m trying to make an amends for my foolish mistakes even though it wasn¡¯t my fault and your stupid father¡¯s-¡± I was cut short when I heard a scream that got my heart shattering.


    ¡°COLLEEN!¡±

 Chapter Thirty Two

    I turned to look at him, and suddenly a smile etched it¡¯s way on his face. He nced my way, before he chuckled to himself. This man who had destroyed our lives and none the less abandoned us not soon after was there smiling. there was nothing more provoking or enraging than seeing him simply smile.


    ¡°Reese.¡± I whispered his name. He sideways nced at me before muttering a what. ¡°he can see us. He¡¯s watching us.¡± I said in a cold voice. Reese looked back and his eyes widened.


    He growled as he held me tighter and quickened his steps. ¡°walk with me and don¡¯t look back. Just follow me.¡± he said as he walked towards a bus stop. We boarded a bus and sat at the very back. Soon the bus began moving and I nced outside the window. There he was on the sidewalk with a sinister smile on his face.


    I shivered in fear and disgust. ¡°okay we¡¯re headed home, when we get home you¡¯re going to your mom, I¡¯m headed to my house.¡± he said, which hit a nerve. Why would he want us to separate at a time like this?


    ¡°Why can¡¯t Ie with you?¡± I snapped at him. ¡°Is it because you¡¯re going to be with your mistress?¡± I said. I don¡¯t know why but I did.


    Reese let out a sigh of frustration. ¡°I¡¯m not going to see any mistress Colleen; You are my mate. The only one. as for Lillian, I haven¡¯t even touched her.¡± he said expressionlessly.


    Liar! why would he lie as though what I had felt was a figment of my imagination?


    ¡°Liar! how could you look me in the eye and say you didn¡¯t when I had clearly felt it?¡± I said to him. How does he have the guts to lie through his teeth.


    ¡°Colleen,¡± he began but I curt him off.


    ¡°Was this what you were hiding from me the entire time so you could return to Lillian¡¯s side?¡± I snapped.


    ¡°Colleen, for goodness sakes, listen to me,¡±


    ¡°what is there to listen to? you¡¯re just hurting me again¡­¡±


    ¡°Can you listen to me Colleen! No, I¡¯m not lying, that burning sensation that you felt, that was just something your asshole of a father gave to drink, to make you think I mated with someone else and just as much as It hurt and burned you, it did the same to me. I would never do something so out of character. I thought we agreed that you wouldn¡¯t doubt a single thing I said,¡± he said assertively as his voice hardened.


    That actually shut me up. I groaned In stupidity. How can I doubt the person whose trying their hardest to protect me and our child?


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on with me,¡± I stated.


    ¡°Just give it some time, it will slowly fade away,¡± he said making my eyebrows rise, what was he talking about?


    We rode the bus in silence. Neither of us speaking to each other. Reese kept a distance away from me, probably angry at my usation. But you can¡¯t me me, he broke my trust the first time didn¡¯t he? The bus came to a stop and we hopped off only toe face to face with the man we¡¯ve been running away from for that hour.


    ¡°Well, well, well¡± it sounded so not dramatic. ¡°Reese, I thought you were smarter than that.¡± my father spoke. ¡°Did you actually think you could outrun me?¡± he stated quite proudly.


    ¡°Outrun? That¡¯s not something I do, I just needed to see for myself.¡± he said.


    ¡°Oh my, aren¡¯t you a nosey one?¡± my father said as he let out augh.


    Reese kept his face quite neutral trying not to give anything away as his eyes simply kept locked with my father¡¯s his hand in front of me. ¡°What is it that you want from us exactly? make your intentions clear like you always have and will continue to do¡± he said, I watched as his eyes turned dark. As his wolf tried making an appearance.


    ¡°I always knew you were quite the cunning fool, like your father,¡± he said as Rees¡¯s hands fisted, his demeanour unchanging.


    ¡°Whatever bad blood that seemed to have risen between you and my father, is not something I¡¯m supposed to shoulder the burden of.¡±


    ¡°Oh but it is,¡±


    ¡°How so?¡± Reese was dragging out the conversation for some reason and I could tell.


    ¡°The moment you were decided to be mated by my daughter dearest; it became your burden. Reese, all his faults are yours now, it¡¯s all your fault now.¡± he said. ¡°I gave you simple instructions, rather you can¡¯t seem to follow, now I guess I¡¯ll have to think of something else. Such a hassle.¡± he said.


    He sounded¡­. Like a¡­. Child? A child looking for something fun to erase his boredom. but behind that boredom there was something else he was plotting.


    ¡°Why are you doing this?¡± this time it was I who spoke out. My voice shaky as the question came out.


    He turned to me, an insincere. smile taking over his face. ¡°Colleen baby girl! How are you, did you miss me? I know I did you.¡± he cooed as a wave of disgust washed over me.


    ¡°Answer the question.¡± I said to him.


    He huffed out a breath and turned to me. ¡°What¡¯s the use of being able to do anything and being bored. Now back to my new way.¡± he thought for a moment. ¡°aha! I¡¯ve got it.¡±  he smiled.


    Reese looked at me, and back at my father looking ready to pounce. But he held back for my sake.


    ¡°It¡¯s simple really, everyday you¡¯ll feel the sensation you felt the night after your rejection. Your precious mate needs to heal that pain and that means having to mate with you until it¡¯s gone. what better way to slowly kill you off, huh Reese? Oh but don¡¯t worry, my grandchild will be out of harm¡¯s way because I still need-¡±


    and suddenly Reese¡¯s eyes widened.


    ¡°Seems I have spouted too much,¡± he said before simply winking at me. A pain suddenly sparked through me as I fell to my knees, unable to handle it.


    Reese stopped and turned to me abruptly and in less than two seconds he was by my side.


    ¡°What¡¯s happening to her?!¡± he demanded from my father.


    ¡°Oh my, would you look at that, it has already begun!¡±.¡± he smiled cunningly.


    ¡°h-how do I make it stop, how do I make her pain stop. Tell me. Please!¡± Reese asked desperately. Almost helplessly.


    ¡°simple. MATING.¡± he said.


    ¡°Mating? I can¡¯t mate with her, she¡¯s pregnant!¡± Reese said flustered and confused but most of all angryOwned by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Not necessarily physical mating. It¡¯s the simple task of a mating mark, did I not say my grandchild will be out of harm¡¯s way? She needs to mark you every night till dawn and of course you¡¯ll need time to rejuvenate, because she won¡¯t be simply marking you, she¡¯s going to be killing you.¡± he said.


    My insides felt like they were ripping apart. Reese pulled me closer to him until my face was right by his neck. ¡°bite me.¡± he said and that¡¯s exactly what I did.


    I bit him.

 Chapter Thirty Three

    I stayed at the hospital for a couple of days along with Sydney and I couldn¡¯t be happier when we were discharged.


    To celebrate, Reese decided to take us out to a restaurant. The entire way through this, I couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Reese held Sydney a smile stered on his face. And I could tell he was beyond happy. Ecstatic. After all his daughter had finallye into the world after such a big scare.


    ¡°Say, Reese, have you ever wondered what would¡¯ve happened if the pregnancy went wrong?¡± I questioned quietly. He seemed to stop ying with Sydney as he looked at me.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what I would¡¯ve done. I don¡¯t know where we¡¯d be what we¡¯re doing, so I never thought of it. And you shouldn¡¯t too. After all, we don¡¯t need to. We finally got our little girl healthy and fine here in our arms making our atmosphere as happy as ever.¡± he expressed but I couldn¡¯t help but think.


    Soon we were out and heading towards my mother¡¯s house. I didn¡¯t get to tell her I went into. Labour with all the sudden events. I stood with trees and Sydney on the porch before ringing the bell.


    The door flew open and a girl stood there. I had never seen her before, but she Smelt like Daniel. ¡°May I help you?¡± she asked. Her voice was sweet as she twiddles with her fingers.


    ¡°Ummm yes, I¡¯m. Looking for Daniel.¡± I said making her heart beat rapidly. I wanted to smile. I¡¯m guessing she is the mate and she thinks I¡¯m the girlfriend or something.


    ¡°why would you need to see Daniel?¡± she questioned in a hurry looking at me in the eyes.


    ¡°I came to deliver his baby after all that manwhore at least deserves to take a glimpse of his child.¡± okay I know what I want doing was mean, but I couldn¡¯t help but do it.


    Soon Daniel came into view. ¡°Colleen?¡± he questioned making the girls eyes widen. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± he questioned.


    ¡°She came to give you your child.¡± Reese looked like he was about to burst intoughter. ¡°How could you Daniel? How could you do this to me.¡± she looked like she was about to let the tears spill.


    Daniel looked confused as hell. He looked at me and her, then me and her, then me and her again before it finally clicked.


    ¡°Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh! She¡¯s my sister. My sister baby.¡± he said calming her down. She turned to me with a confused look.


    ¡°What?¡±


    I burst outughing. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I couldn¡¯t help but do that. Payback is funny right Dani? Hi, I¡¯m Colleen, the super amazing sister of this idiot and this is Reese, my mate. You are?¡± I questioned her. I had never seen her before. But if Reese hasn¡¯t attacked it meant she¡¯s a part of the pack.


    ¡°Forgive me alpha and Luna, my names Britta, it¡¯s just I had only seen the alpha once so never really recognized him and I¡¯ve never met you before Luna. Come in.¡± she weed.


    I pped a smile on my face. My new sister-inw! Daniel wasn¡¯t kidding when he said he smelt her. We walked into the house but o walked directly to my mother¡¯s bedroom. Knocking, I heard a Fainte in.


    Walking in. She burst into tears. ¡°Colleen, baby it¡¯s you,¡± she said as I walked in a smile on my face I hugged her so tightly. I missed my mom.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Soon Sydney decided to cry catching moms attention. ¡°you already?¡± she questioned in shock. As I nodded slowly. Reese walked in Sydney in her hands.


    Handing her to my mom, my mom held her lightly and turned to us. ¡°You did well,¡± she said as she stroked my cheek. My mom was beyond anything. But her smile faded a slight moment. ¡°But keep your faith up,¡± she warned as we nodded simultaneously.


    As Daniel walked into the room he noticed Sydney, taking her from my mom¡¯s hands and yed with her making her smile.


    The night went on as such it was one to remember. And the house for once lit up. It lit up so brightly that not a single frown was etched on anyone¡¯s face.


    Soon it was time to leave as we bid our goodbyes. And I couldn¡¯t help but feel a bit sad that we had to leave. But while I was at the hospital for the couple days, someone gave me a hint of Reese fixing up Sydney¡¯s room and I couldn¡¯t wait to see it.


    We sat in the car as Reese turned in the radio singing along with it making meugh. And the screeching of the car along with a Smash of metals had us going. what we didn¡¯t see was the truck heading towards us that hit us from the side.


    everything instantly turned ck. And the only thing on my mind was Sydney.

 Chapter Thirty Four

    I groaned opening my eyes only to see darkness and simple light. I sat up looking around the ce, it was as if I was in a cell with bars. The floor felt cold, I lifted my hand to rub my eyes, only to see I was chained up.


    I looked around squinting. I saw Reese¡¯s form in the ground beside Me. But what got my heart beating rapidly as I couldn¡¯t see my daughter. My daughter wasn¡¯t with me.


    I turned to Reese and kicked him, trying to get to awake. I know he couldn¡¯t get out of the chains but we needed to find a way to get out of here. I kicked him harder making his eyes snap open, as he drastically sat up.


    He looked around confusion over his face. He looked at me relief taking over for moment only to not see his daughter. His smile dropped instantly as he looked into my blurry eyes. I was going to cry.


    ¡°Where are we?¡± he questioned. I stared at him in disbelief. He is such an idiot sometimes.


    ¡°How about I got check outside and see huh? I¡¯ll just magically break the hinges of these chains and go check.¡± he rolled his eyes at my sarcasm.


    ¡°Okay then let me rephrase that, who do you think brought us here, and where the hell is Sydney?¡± he questioned with a Growl, but something in his eyes sparked he looked scared.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± I questioned. He simply shook his head.


    ¡°Nothing,¡± he muttered soon the door opened.


    ¡°I see you didn¡¯t have enough of torturing me father, so you decided to take us and kill us didn¡¯t you? You make me sick! Sick and disgusted, I can¡¯t believe I once called you dad.¡± I said.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    But what I didn¡¯t expects wad to not see him, but rather Alex and Helen. What?


    ¡°I¡¯m not your father, I¡¯m just your enemy. And yes I did kidnap you to kill you, but not the both of you, just you and the child.¡± she smiled wickedly.


    Was this girl going insane or something? Cause I think she had a few screws loose. ¡°What had I done for you to hate me so much?¡± I questioned her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t ask me much, just wait for the boss to get here.¡± so there was someone above them.


    ¡°So my father is in on it. I knew that bastard wouldn¡¯t keep away.¡± I yelled in anger only to hear a groan.


    ¡°That isn¡¯t a nice thing to say to your father, after all if he wanted to be bad, he¡¯d tell you before doing it.¡± I turned to see my father chained up, just like Reese and I. What the hell was going on.


    ¡°Why are you chained up?¡± I questioned him.


    He rolled eyes and looked at me, ¡°The same reason you are?¡± he said, but I turned to ignore him.


    ¡°Then who¡¯s the boss? Who the hell is the boss?¡± soon Lillian walked through the door. ¡°Lilly you¡¯re the boss?¡± I asked as she shook her head. What the hell was happening?


    ¡°The boss won¡¯t be arriving any time soon so the boss said to watch them,¡± Lillian exined, I was getting frustrated, until I saw Sydney, alright and well, just a little bump.


    They dropped her into my legs carelessly as she began to cry, by heart broke knowing my baby was suffering. They soon chained my legs and released my hands as I took her into my arms. And cooed her.


    her cries refused to die down as Alex looked frustrated. ¡°Shut the damned thing up!¡± he yelled. Thing? I shook my head and looked at him.


    ¡°I would quiet her down but it seems she¡¯s hungry, so I would suggest you give me a shawl so I can breastfeed,¡± Reese growled in annoyance to my words.


    Letting out a groan Helen handed me a scarf that looked like she had just worn it once. I took it and covered myself, I pulled out my right beast and put Sydney under, she soontched and began suckling.


    Reese looked somewhat shocked as if something were wrong and he looked angry and frustrated. Something was definitely up.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± I whispered catching his attention. All he did was keep silent which meant something was wrong.


    Soon the door opened as everyone stood up immediately, well except for us. ¡°Boss,¡± they said simultaneously.


    My father looked somewhat shocked by the scent if the person. And it seemed awfully familiar. I turned to look at the door only to have my breath hitched up into my throat.


    ¡°Bailey?¡±

 Chapter Thirty Five

    I had this friend once long ago, but we considered ourselves cousins, sisters in fact. We were inseparable. But then¡­


    ¡°Don¡¯t do it bailey, Don¡¯t!¡± 14 year old me screamed at her.


    ¡°I¡¯m¡­ Tired Colleen, I¡¯m. Tired of being mistreated all the time, so I rather die and take you with me.¡± she said as she pointed a gun towards me.


    ¡°But I don¡¯t want to die, and I don¡¯t want to you die, we¡¯ll find a solution please?¡± I had pleaded with her.


    She shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m sorry Colleen.¡± her hands shaking, sweat dropping from her face.


    I slowly made my way to her, step by step, ¡°Bailey, listen, you don¡¯t have to do this, everything will be alright, we¡¯ll be alright, you can leave your house and stay with me forever, moms still sick, but she loves you a lot, don¡¯t please.¡± I said as I put my hand over hers.


    It seemed for a moment she would listen, but u wicked smile took over her face, this wasn¡¯t the Bailey I knew. ¡°I¡¯m all broken Colleen, they¡¯ve broken me,¡± she said as she lifted the gun, I snatched it in a hurry but she lost her bnce, and what I didn¡¯t know was We were on a cliff, and what we didn¡¯t know was she was going to fall off it. And she did.


    ¡­ Present.


    ¡°Bailey?¡± I questioned, this couldn¡¯t be, she was dead. She was gone. But here seems as in front of me. Alive.


    ¡°Well, Colleen it¡¯s good to see you. It¡¯s been a while hast it?¡± she smiled, but something felt off about her, something wasn¡¯t right.


    ¡°I-I thought you were dead, I mourned for you, and here you are, alive and well,¡± I said my tone Pissed.


    ¡°alive and dead Colleen.¡± I looked at her in confusion.


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand,¡± I said to her.


    ¡°It¡¯s simple really, I¡¯m alive, but I¡¯m still dead.¡± she yawned. Was she serious? Was she a¡­ Vampire?


    I turned to Reese, only to see him. Out of it. His whole body in a state of shock. It was like he went here himself. Half of him. We on some othernd.


    Sydney stirred in my arms as she rubbed her eyes showing her big beautiful hazel eyes. I turned to Reese once more as I looked at him.


    ¡°Reese?¡± I called out but he kept silent.


    Bailey¡¯sugh seemed to catch my attention since it was the most annoying thing about her. I turned to see her smirking as if she knew something. What had she done to him?


    ¡°Too bad the big bad alpha can¡¯t help you now.¡± she snickered. Lilly s eyes looked like she felt guilty about something and so did Helen. But what could they have possibly done to him?


    ¡°What have you done to him? Answer me dammit!¡± I yelled at her S she weed up to me looking in my eyes.


    ¡°I took his wolf away.¡± she smiled. I stared at her in shock. He lost a part of him. He felt iplete.


    ¡°Why would you do such a thing? Why?¡± I questioned as my eyes began to brim with tears.


    ¡°It¡¯s simple, whatever makes you happy, I¡¯ll take it all away. Because of you, I¡¯m like this, because of you I died! Because of you, I had to watch you be happy while I suffered amongst the dead. But like they say, just a tinge of magic can do a ton, isn¡¯t that right Lillian?¡± she questioned.


    How could she? And to think I was once her friend. Jealousy is a nasty thing. It rips people apart causing them to hurt.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    ¡°Well be back to take your Sydney, after all, I need her blood to recover fully and what better way than to do it in front of her helpless parents.?¡± she asked with a slight smirk.


    ¡°NO!¡± this time it was Reese to Growl, he began pulling on the chains trying to get out. ¡°Don¡¯t even think of touching our daughter!¡± he screwed towards her. All she did was flip Him Off and leave giving some orders to Alex.


    ¡°We meet again my love.¡± he smiled. What the hell? Were we ever going to get out?

 Chapter Thirty Six

    I stared at Alex for a moment, before turning away. Honestly all of this disgusts me. How can people be jealous, envy and hate so much that they have to inflict pain upon others.


    I pushed a distance away from Alex and towards Reese, rolling his eyes I put my hand on his pale face as I watched him feel empty.


    ¡°Reese?¡± I called out to him. He turned around looking at me, a sad smile on his face.


    ¡°I¡¯m okay.¡± he said but I shook my head.


    ¡°No you¡¯re not. You¡¯re empty, I¡¯m gonna get us out of here, and we¡¯re gonna find a way to get your wolf back, even if it means to sacrifice anything.¡± I promised him as he leaned into my hand.


    ¡°I¡¯m lucky to have you you know, I don¡¯t know why I was such a Coward to give you up. You gave me everything and more than I ever wished for. And for that I¡¯ll forever be Indebted to you.¡± he said as I shook my head.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ¡°No, that¡¯s just what mates do. After all a mate was created as your other half. So we¡¯re 2 halves of a whole. And whatever I do is because I love you.¡± I said. I finally mustered up the courage to tell him I loved him.


    His eyes softened as I leaned in putting my lips onto his. He leaned forward deepening the kiss, until I heard a sequel from Sydney in my arms. pulling away, I I looked down at the active baby in my arms.


    ¡°Look Sydney your daddy is a bad boy isn¡¯t he?¡± I questioned making her arms wiggle and her eyes sparkle. I can¡¯t believe she¡¯s in this mess with us.


    ¡°hey.¡± Reese said capturing my attention as my eyes began to brim with tears. ¡°hey, don¡¯t cry we¡¯re gonna get out of here safely, and Sydney wind remember a thing. Not a single thing.¡± he promised as I nodded.


    ¡°But how are we going to get out?¡± I whispered so Alex wouldn¡¯t hear. Sure he was not human and I don¡¯t know what he is, but from the way I¡¯m speaking it¡¯s simply a very silent whisper that Reese seemed to understand easily.


    ¡°I can help you.¡± I heard my dad say as I snorted. Me? Ask for help from him? Hah!


    ¡°No thank you.¡± I said bluntly.


    ¡°I¡¯m serious Leen, I can help you. I¡¯ll get you, Sydney and Reese out of here and return Reese¡¯s wolf, for something in return.¡± he said. Of course he wanted something in return.


    ¡°What do you want?¡± I asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing big really, in return of all of this, I want your wolf.¡± he said and that made my breath hitch. Reese raised his head and looked at my father.


    ¡°Not happening old man, I¡¯d rather find a way out than allow you to do all of this for a price. It not-¡± I cut him off.


    ¡°I will do it.¡± I said.


    Reese snapped his eyes to mine, narrowing his eyebrows. ¡°No you¡¯re not Colleen, you¡¯re not gonna do that to yourself. I won¡¯t allow it.¡± he said making me groan.


    ¡°what choice do I have Reese, you and Sydney matter most, if I loose my wolf it¡¯s fine as long as you guys are safe and you get your wolf back, I¡¯ll be okay.¡± I said as Reese¡¯s jaws clenched.


    ¡°I SAID NO COLLEEN! NO! I won¡¯t allow you to do this, not in a million years!¡± he yelled at me, making Alex he¡¯s gaze snap to us. I looked away from him.


    ¡°you¡¯re right, I¡¯m stupid. I shouldn¡¯t make each decisions like this.¡± I said letting out a sigh.


    He seemed content with my answer as he nodded rting with his chains. ¡°Good. Well find a way. Just rx.¡± he said as I nodded.


    But what he didn¡¯t know was, I had already made the deal and shook on it. All that¡¯s left is to wait.

 Chapter Thirty Seven

    As night began to fall in, a burning began to make itself present in my lower abdomen. I guess this was it. I was going to loose my wolf.


    I let our a soft groan of pain, as the burning became more intense. I had to keep it in. I have to do this.


    Soon hours passed and the burning began to cool off. I let out a sigh of relief as I settled down and everything felt normal .


    Dawn fell upon us and soon Bailey came in a dagger in her hand. Was she seriously going to take the life of my baby just for her selfish needs?


    ¡°It¡¯s time Colleen, so I suggest you let go of the child and I will make this less painful.¡± I looked towards Mt fatger, his eyes shut; did he just take my wolf not keeping his end of the DEAL? I felt like a fool.N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    That bastard! He is such an asshole. How could he had done this? Why was I so stupid?


    Soon Bailey headed towards me as she tried pulling Sydney our of my hand. Reese yelled at her, telling her to let go, but she was determined, determined to fulfill her selfish needs.


    As my hand slipped of my dear Sydney I watched as bailey turned her around by her feet, her sweet cry into that if fear. My heart shook and my heartstrings pulled. Was I really going to loose my child?


    Soon a banging on the door caught everyone¡¯s attention and soon the door was kicked over. My eyes filled with tears of relief as I watched My brother Daniel and a few pack warriors came to the rescue.


    I couldn¡¯t have been more relieved than in that moment. We were saved this was finally over. Sydney was soon ce into my hand and a wash of happiness overcame my body.


    ¡°My beloved Sydney.¡± I held her close. We¡¯ve been through so much. And yet were still here, being given the greatest blessings in life.


    Soon Reese was let out of the chains we were up and standing. I¡¯ve never been more grateful.


    ¡°Out deal isplete. And I¡¯ve gotten what I¡¯ve been after. So farewell dear daughter.¡± my dear father said before disappearing into thin air.


    I turned to Reese as he came to me, pulling me into a tight embrace. Our daughter between us. He ced a tender kiss on my forehead and pulled us close. Sydney let out a sequel of delight.


    Soon Reese¡¯s attention was on her. Cooing her and making her smile. Making her bug brown eyes sparkle in enjoyment.


    ¡°How are you feeling?¡± I questioned him. He looked at me a smile on his face.


    ¡°I got my wolf back, but at a price.¡± he said. Making my eyes widen. ¡°You didn¡¯t think I¡¯d find out? Colleen why would you do something like that? And right after I asked you not to!¡± he yelled making me flinch.


    ¡°I know what u did was wrong, but believe me Reese, there isn¡¯t anything in the world I wouldn¡¯t do for you. It broke me to see you like that, empty.¡± I said as my voice began cracking.


    ¡°How do you think I¡¯ll feel seeing you broken, did you think of my feelings?¡± he questioned as rears began to brim. My eyes.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯d rather see myself die than see you like that ever again.¡± I sad to him.


    ¡°But now you¡¯ve broken my trust. So is it better see me like this rather than seemed empty?¡± he asked as he walked off.


    Honestly I knew it was a bad idea from the start, but I just had to do it. I just had to make sure we were okay. I just had to make sure Reese was never going to feel that way. So what if he¡¯s angry? I would do it over and over again if it meant saving him a thousand times.


    After all I¡¯m in love with him.

 Chapter Thirty Eight

    I Flopped onto the bed, next to a sleeping Sydney. I had taken a shower and I¡¯ve never felt so good.


    But soon my smile dropped as my heart began aching, Reese was still mad at me. I can¡¯t me him, but can¡¯t he understand that I love him? That I¡¯d do anything for him.


    The door opened as Reese came into view not uttering a word. He didn¡¯t even look my way. Soon I felt the tears prickle and drip from my eyes.


    I stood up and walked towards the bathroom. Soon warn. Arms wrapped around my waist and his face muzzled in my neck.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± he whispered nting a kiss on my neck. He turned me around and pulled me into a tight embrace.


    ¡°Reese I¡¯m sorry I d-didn¡¯t meant to not consider your feelings, I mean I wanted to show you that I loved you and i-i-¡± he cut me off as he crashed his lips onto mine. Running out of breath he pulled away kissing the crook of my neck.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to mark you.¡± he whispered but my voice was to weak. He the licked the spot and bit down.


    The pain was truly excruciating but soon dissipated into nothing. I moaned in pleasure of the feeling. Soon he licked the mark and and pulled back.


    He pushed my hair to the side and stared at it. ¡°beautiful¡± he whispered. I smiled in happiness. He finally marked me.


    He let his hand run through my hair as I caught a glimpse of his busted knuckles.


    ¡°Your hands. Did you hurt them?¡± I questioned referring to our kidnappers.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Colleen, but no one messes with my family. I wouldn¡¯t have let them live but I thought about you for a moment.¡± he said.


    I was about to reply when Sydney Cries echoed through our bedroom. ¡°I got her.¡± Reese said as he picked her up.


    He cooed her and tried shushing her. He cried quieted down as she sniffled. Her fat tears rolled down her face as she tried keeping quiet.


    I lifted her into my arms as I headed towards the bed to beast feed her. Reese sat behind me as I fed her. Slowly her eyes began to close. When she finished she gurgled and giggled.


    My sweet Sydney.


    Reese¡¯s P. O. V :


    I watched as Colleen yed with our daughter. My daughter. I left the room after excusing myself and headed down towards the basement.


    ¡°are you ready to let me go yet?¡± he questioned.


    ¡°No, why would I?¡± I asked a sly smile on my face.


    ¡°You can¡¯t do this Reese, it¡¯s over, it¡¯s gone. I can¡¯t going it back!¡± he pleaded. I threw a punch in his face.


    ¡°Stop speaking shit! I know you know! You¡¯re the one that made the deal, you know why and where and how to get it back!¡± I yelled at him in anger.


    I began feeling my wolf rise. Blood dropped from his face and he looked tired, guilty, regretful.


    ¡°Even if I wanted to get my wife and my daughters wolves back, believe me I tried getting put of this deal, I tried to live, I tried to make up for all of this, but it¡¯s not working! It won¡¯t work! I made a deal and I can¡¯t break it!¡± he said promising.


    ¡°What did you make a deal with? What? What the he¡¯ll are you?¡± I questioned in disbelief. ¡°Where are their wolves.¡± I said as he looked away and said.


    ¡°I can¡¯t do that because I made a deal with the devil.¡±


    Colleen¡¯s POV:


    Sydney fell asleep again. My baby is so damnzy. I headed down the stairs to prepare dinner for us. The door opened and Reese returned with a smile on his face.


    ¡°What¡¯s got you so happy?¡± I questioned.


    He took in a breath and looked at me. before going down on his knees.


    ¡°Colleen, my love, my mate, my lifeline, because if you I¡¯m the happiest man alive, the strongest alpha existing and for that I have something to ask you, will you marry me?¡±


    A simple smile took over my face. ¡°I will!¡± I whispered barely audible, he stood up and span me in his arms.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for all we¡¯ve been through and I¡¯m sorry for all I¡¯ve put you through and I hope I¡¯ll make you the happiest woman alive.¡± he said. And right then I felt a stir.


    It felt odd.

 Chapter Thirty Nine

    We sat on the park bench with Sydney in the stroller, it¡¯s been a couple weeks since the kidnapping. Reese ced his hand in my thigh making my head snap to him.


    He gave me a warm smile, ¡°Colleen, There will be a day you¡¯ll understand the way I think, but promise you¡¯ll hear me out before getting angry and stubborn.¡± he said.


    Where was thising from. My eyebrows scrunched up in confusion. ¡°I promise not that I know why.¡± I said to him I¡¯m honesty, but he simply nodded and looked straight away into the beautiful view if the park.


    We then headed home his hand in my waist as I pushed Sydney stroller. My perfect family.


    We got to the house. Mary came out as she took Sydney out of the stroller and took her towards the kitchen as Reese grabbed my hand taking me up the stairs. When we got to the bedroom he shut the door with a loud bang and without wasting time he was lip locked with me.


    I stood in shock until I felt his hand roam roam down my body. I then returned his kiss with the sane passion and force. He then dropped me onto the bed. ¡°I¡¯ve missed you.¡± he said as he got to work.


    (A/N: I can¡¯t write stuff like this so mind me ? I¡¯m skipping)Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    I lied on his chest as he stroked my hair. ¡°I love you.¡± he whispered.


    ¡°I love you too.¡± I said to him. My heart is finally at peace.


    Daniel¡¯s P. O. V:


    ¡°Britta baby, where are you?¡± I yelled out. We were ying hide and seek in the house. With nothing to do we were bored like that.


    I heard her giggle as I saw her feet showing from under the table cloth. I pretended to not know where she was. ¡°Baby you¡¯re such a good hider, I¡¯m so ashamed.¡± I said as I heard her giggle.


    Herugh like a melody to my ears. I then walked pass her making it known, before lightly jumping in the dining table. She thought I left and looked out. I then said ¡®boo¡¯ and she screamed.


    Iughed at her as I pulled her out from under the table. ¡°You found me? But how?¡± she asked. ¡°I was certain you wouldn¡¯t find me this time.¡± she said with a pout on her luscious lips.


    ¡°I¡¯m just hood like that baby.¡± I whispered in her ear before nibbling on it lightly. She hit my chest lightly and moved away from my grasp.


    We then walked to the kitchen as I say behind the ind as she got to cooking. I don¡¯t know how it felt before having a mate and damn I don¡¯t want to remember. I love it like this. Perfect.


    I walked behind her and wrapped my arms around her petite waist. She spilled in surprise, before continuing to chop the vegetables.


    ¡°What would you have done, if you didn¡¯t find me Daniel?¡± she questioned me.


    ¡°I¡¯d kill myself.¡± I answered bluntly. Sheughed at my reply. If only she knew how true those words were. I smiled and span her around.


    Her face then scrunched up as she got out of my grip and towards the bathroom, letting out everything in her tummy. I guess I span her too much. I then held her hair back and rubbed her back.


    ¡°you okay.?¡± I asked as she hurled again. It felt strangely odd.


    ¡°shh .. And listen.¡± she said making my eyebrows scrunch in confusion.


    Then I heard it. The tiny heart beat. Was this a dream?


    ¡°Are you really? Are you sure?¡± I questioned. As she blushed and nodded.


    ¡°I¡¯m 2 weeks pregnant. Surprise daddy.¡± she said making a smile p its way on my face. I pulled her closer and kissed her face.


    ¡°I love you!¡± I expressed greatly. ¡°I¡¯m the happiest man alive because if you.¡± I said in honesty.


    ¡°I love you too.¡± I ten stood up helping her.


    ¡°We¡¯ve gotta tell mom.¡± I jumped onto my feet and ran to her bedroom, I then pushed the door open only for my eyes to widen at the sight.


    ¡°Mom?¡±

 Chapter Forty

    I woke up to the shower running in the bathroom. I sat up and yawned as I rubbed my eyes. Sydney Cries caught my attention.


    I got out from under the covers and walked to her little nursery. There Mary was trying to keep her silent. I walked up to them and took my little Sydney in my arms.


    I cooed her as I took her in my arms ready to breast feed. When shetched on, I pat her back as she had to her fill. When she was done, I made her burp and I then began ying with her. ¡°Colleen? Where¡¯s my blue shirt?¡± I heard Reese call out.


    Staring up, I took Sydney off the carpet and headed for our bedroom. Reese stood in front of the closet, a towel hanging low on his hips. He turned to look at me, a frown embedded on his face.


    ¡°It should be in the top shelf.¡± I said to him. He shuffled through there only to shake his head no. That¡¯s odd.


    Iid Sydney down and walked to the cupboard and looked through it. That¡¯s when I remembered, I put it in the washing. ¡°I got it, I had sent it to the dry cleaners to get cleaned, there was a stain I couldn¡¯t get off when I was washing it.¡± I said to him. He simply nodded and pulled out a ck shirt sleeved shirt. He slipped it on, as it clung to his body. It looked really good.


    Something felt off, weird. It didn¡¯t feel right. ¡°Reese, some things been bothering me?¡± I said to him as he snapped his gaze towards mine. ¡°do you, do you have something you want to tell me?¡± I asked him with curious eyes as I bounced Sydney on my hip.


    He shook his head. ¡°Colleen I told you, there¡¯s a reason why I do what I do and you¡¯ll understand soon.¡± he answered.


    But heart beat rapidly against my chest as I watched him, ¡°did you do something with Sydney?¡± I asked him. That¡¯s the first thought that ever crosses my mind.


    He kept silent and looked away, and my breath hitched. ¡°What did you do with our daughter? How could you do something with your own daughter?¡± I asked him my eyes never leaving his figure.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything with our daughter, it¡¯s just a lot say, I met someone important to her.¡± he said confusing the hell out of me.


    I was about to speak when the doorbell range catching me off guard. I stared at him as I walked down the stairs. I pushed open the door only for my mouth to hand open.


    ¡°mom?¡± here she was, standing fully healthy in front of me. Her face flowing. She was standing right in front of me.


    She smiled and nodded. ¡°What- how did this happen?¡± I asked her confused.


    ¡°Colleen, I¡¯m getting my wolf back and I don¡¯t know how, so I came to ask you if something was up with you too?¡± she said.


    ¡°I- I don¡¯t know, I¡¯ve just been feeling weirdtely.¡± I said to her.


    Soon Reese came down the stairs and my anger was pouring out. I was furious. What has he done?


    ¡°REESE!¡± I barked in anger making him stand firmly in his posture. ¡°what did you do?¡± I asked. I felt like I was going to cry.


    ¡°I told you. I haven¡¯t done anything. I just met someone important to Sydney.¡± he said. I watched as his eyes wanted, not looking directly at me.


    ¡°There¡¯s something you¡¯re not telling me.¡± I said to him.


    Right then a knock on the door made us snap our heads something felt off. I opened the door only to see a young man. Midnight ck hair, an immacte face. (A/N: imagine him however you like.)


    ¡°Who are you and what do you want?¡± I questioned. He let out a dark Aura.


    ¡°the name is Leondris and I¡¯m here to see my- ah Reese, where is she?¡± he questioned. Reese simply smiled and nodded to my arms.


    I moved back and away, ¡°Don¡¯t touch my daughter, I¡¯ll never hand her over, to you, you monster. Reese you pig!¡± I yelled over to him.


    Leondrisughed at me hard. I looked at the idiot. What was funny. ¡°I¡¯m not here to take your daughter, away. I¡¯m only here to see my mate.¡± he said. I looked around.


    ¡°I¡¯m not your mate so I think you got the wrong person.¡± I said to him. He simply shook his head at me.


    ¡°Not you, her, your daughter is my mate.¡± There is no way. He¡¯s not her mate.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°You can¡¯t be.¡± u said to him in a whisper.


    ¡°oh, but I am.¡± I knew something was off. He was letting out a dark Aura.


    ¡°What are you?¡± I questioned him. He simply smiled.


    ¡°a dark angel, also known as a Demon.¡± I turned to Reese.


    ¡°What the hell Is going on?¡± I asked him.


    He let out a sigh. ¡°It turns out your father was signed to a contract with him and he promised the first child of yours would be given to him as sacrifice. So I do a little finding and also found out your wolves were sent to him as gifts.¡± he said angrily. ¡°so I simply went to go visit the Demon himself. Made a deal and turns out our daughter was his mate, so instead of giving her up as sacrifice I made a deal with him saying he could meet his mate and when she became of age she would be allowed to be mated with him. In return of your wolves.¡± he said.


    My rage began to dissipate into thin air. I let out a sigh if relief. My mom looked lost in thought. Ugh! My stupid father! All he knows how to do is make people miserable and suffer! God!


    Sydney gurgle in my arms ad Leondris took her from me. She instantly Clung on him. I guess he is her mate. But I couldn¡¯t get my thoughts to stray.


    ¡°Why is it you¡¯re only finding your mate now?¡± I questioned him as he let out a strained smile.


    ¡°because, when you live without aging you want someone by your side. It¡¯s like if Reese were to die now, you¡¯d feel the pain of losing your mate, but for a demon it¡¯s different, if you don¡¯t find your mate, your everyday life would feel that way.¡± he smiled. ¡°I guess I finally found my mate.¡±


    Yeah. He Did.


    The end!
