Abby's POV

They pulled me toward the carousel entrance where Hayden was already standing, as if he had been waiting for this exact outcome.

“You didn’t have to send the kids to get me,” I said quietly.

He raised an eyebrow.

“Did I?”

I gave him a look but didn't bother arguing.

A faint huff of laughter escaped him.

The sound did something annoyingly strange to my stomach.

Oh, for Moon Goddess' sake.

I looked away before I could dwell on it and forced my attention back to the twins.

Together, Hay

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    I Didn't Feel Alone

    Abby’s POV The pilot's voice announcing that we'd be landing soon pulled me from my sleep.Hayden was beside me, buried in his tablet.Did this man ever rest?“I received a call from Silverclaw,” he said when he noticed I was awake. “Alpha Thorn has finally been able to talk.”The last trace of sleep vanished from my eyes. I sat upright instantly.“Why didn't you wake me?”A small smile touched his eyes.“It was good news. I didn't want to disturb your sleep,” he said. “They said he asked about you, and I told them to let him know we'd be there soon.”Thank goodness.I let out a slow breath, the tension in my body finally easing. The relief of Father's improvement, combined with the sleep my exhausted body had gotten, made me feel lighter.But I still needed to see him with my own eyes before I could truly feel at ease.When we stepped off the jet, night had already fallen. The cool air brushed against my skin as Hayden's men and cars waited for us nearby.Asher was awake, but Amy wa

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    They Were Right

    Abby’s POV The moment Amy and Asher saw the jet, they did exactly what I expected… they bombarded Hayden with questions.“Is this for you?”“See….it has biiig wing!”“Can I fly it?”“Can I press the button?”“Hayden, can this plane fly up to heaven?”“Does it sleep here?”“I'm not scared!”Oh, Goddess.They didn't stop talking for even a second, and Hayden didn't get tired of answering every single question either. He looked genuinely amused.I couldn't help smiling. This was their first time flying.Their endless chatter became a small comfort, easing the tightness in my chest.Still, the fear never truly disappeared. I'd called father's phone three times before we even reached the airport, desperate for updates. Each time, the answer from the maid remained the same.No improvement.Once we settled inside, the jet came alive.My fingers brushed against the armrest.Despite everything racing through my mind, I recognized this seat.Hayden and I had been tangled together here a few ye

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    The Emergency

    Abby’s POV One thing about father that I knew as well as the back of my hand was that no one dared touch his phone.Everyone in the house knows the rule."Where's my father?" I demanded, my grip tightening around the phone.“Miss Abby,” the maid said. “Alpha Thorn… he fell off the stairs…”“What?" My heart lurched. "How? When? Where is he?" I didn't give her a chance to answer before another question tumbled out.“He's in ICU…”"Oh, benevolent Goddess... have mercy," I whispered hoarsely."What's wrong?" I vaguely heard Hayden ask, but all I could do was nod and shake my head at the same time."I'm catching the next flight," I told the maid before ending the call.The moment the call ended, I moved without thinking, my hands trembling as I searched for my phone again.I needed a flight. I needed to get there.“Abby.” Hayden gently caught my shoulders, stopping me. “Calm down. Just breathe, okay?”I nodded and forced myself to do as he said."Father's badly injured," I managed once I

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    A Different Hayden

    Abby’s POV “Oh my!” the woman exclaimed, completely oblivious to the tension in the room. “I already thought you weren't coming to work today.” She paused, taking in Alex's appearance. “You never cease to sweep this old woman off her feet, young man,” she gushed. Then her gaze shifted past him to Hayden, and she sneered just like she had yesterday. Of course, Hayden. He must have done something to offend the old woman without even realizing it. Still holding Ruby's hand, she reached for Alex with the other and tugged them both toward the table in the corner. Alex and Ruby both glanced at me uneasily. I answered with a sweet, wicked smile. The panic on their faces deepened. Then I turned to Hayden, who stood rooted to the spot, looking like he wasn't sure whether to speak or run. “Abby,” he began. “Uh... it's not like that.” “Really?” I nodded slowly, dripping with sarcasm. “Alex working in my restaurant behind my back isn't like that? When did this even start? And for how

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    Caught Red-Handed

    Abby's POVI was at the restaurant the next day, attending to the few customers inside since it was still morning and the rush hadn’t begun.Ruby came along, saying she wasn’t feeling too well to go to her workplace. Besides, her leave hadn’t even ended yet.Honestly, I didn’t understand her illness pattern these days. The sick today, fine tomorrow she just started. The past two days it had been dysentery, and today again, a headache.When I saw her this morning, she looked like she hadn’t slept at all.Still, she insisted on coming with me. Now she was in my office, not sleeping, just sitting quietly like she was lost in thought.I’d asked if something was wrong, something she wasn’t telling me. But she insisted there wasn’t. So, I let her be. I knew the kids would get her out of that mood soon with their innocent little antics.“Buenas!”An old woman walked in.At second glance, I recognized her. The same old woman from yesterday, the one with the dialect who seemed to like Alex a l

  • Forsaken by the Moongoddess    A Silent Vow

    Hayden’s POV When I returned to the hotel, Alex was already waiting in the lobby.That was strange.I didn’t have the patience for him tonight, so I headed straight for my suite, but he followed anyway.“Any update?” I asked, kicking off my shoes as we got inside.He didn’t answer immediately.Instead, he just stared at me like I’d lost my mind.My brow furrowed.He stepped closer, studying me… then leaned in like he was actually sniffing me.I pushed him back lightly.“Finish whatever nonsense you have to say, Alex.”He leaned in again, this time running his hands over my face, shoulders, chest…I delivered a controlled punch to his shoulder.“Are you insane?”He scoffed loudly. “Good to have you back.”My frown deepened.“I was starting to wonder who was occupying that body earlier.”I paused.“…Excuse me?”“You’ve been acting weird. Smiling at nothing, humming, tapping things like you’re not aware of your own hands.”He tilted his head.“I was beginning to think another soul had t

    Hayden’s POV She hadn’t worn her mask, so I recognized her instantly.Jessica.She is an old business partner way back. Long before I ever wore the Alpha title. Back when I was still raw from Amara’s betrayal and building from the ground up. She was a female Alpha in a man’s world, bold, sharp, an

It took every ounce of discipline not to rip that bastard’s heart out. The only reason he was still standing was beca
