Devastated

Jenn’s POV I didn’t look up when the door opened again. I didn’t care what he was back saying. Was no longer interested in hearing his excuses. Was interested in hearing nothing from him. I wished he'd just give me the privacy to cry my heart out, but obviously that was impossible in a place like this. “Are you okay?” I startled at the voice, looking up to meet the worried gaze of the Alpha King. For a second, all I could do was stare at him. Alice and Alva had informed me of his presence, but not only had I not been expecting to see him so soon, I also didn’t expect the thoughts that flowed into my head at the sight of him. The stark contrast that my mind produced in comparison to Wade. The warmth I saw in his eyes, in contrast to the coldness that Wade now showed me. I couldn’t help but notice how very attractive he was. How alluring and inviting his blue eyes were. “Jenn?” he called again, startling me out of my thoughts. “Have you been crying?” I wiped my face immediately,

Good News

Jenn’s POV I didn’t think her smile could get any wider, but it did. Healer Bree’s smile widened to the extent that the corners of her lips almost brushed her ears. Even the Alpha King was becoming uncomfortable. “That’s because,” she said finally. “That growth is another life. You’re pregnant, Luna Jenn and your wolf is missing because after the fall, she had to momentarily abandon you to protect the life that is growing inside you.” The world tilted. The beeping machine beside me faded into a dull hum, like it was underwater. For a moment, I couldn’t hear anything else. Couldn’t feel anything else. Pregnant. “You’re pregnant,” Bree repeated, slower this time, as though she thought I hadn’t heard her the first time. “And after the fall, your wolf withdrew to protect the life growing inside you.” My lips parted, but no sound came out. Pregnant. That didn’t make sense. It couldn’t make sense. It was impossible. I couldn’t be – My thoughts stumbled over each other, tripping, c

The Brunt Of His Choices

Jenn’s POV I was pregnant! The news was still very hard to believe even after three days. Even after sitting through hours of testing and prodding which only confirmed the healer’s words. I woke up everyday feeling a bit more joy. Hope kindled in my heart slowly. It was still a waning flame, but I somehow understood that this was my second chance. An opportunity to rewrite my story that the Goddess had given me and I could not screw it up. In this new chapter, I could only choose myself. My happiness and not those of other people, no matter who they were. Now, I had a reason to fight. A reason to live. A reason to get rid of rubbish and I wasn’t going to let it go. My face lit into a smile as the door opened and healer Bree walked in smiling warmly at me. “Good day, Luna Jenn. I’m pleased to inform you that you’re now fit enough and ready to be discharged. Your injuries are yet to heal fully, but…” “I will take care of that,” I said, cutting in. “I’m an Alpha, remember?” and a

Don’t Test Me

Jenn’s POV With the way Wade was watching me, for a moment, I was scared he’d lose control of his wolf and attack me. He had that kind of look and I was sure I wouldn’t be able to defend myself. I may be Alpha, but without my wolf, there was nothing I could do against a man as powerful as Wade. If he should attack, even Alice would be useless against him. He’d probably tear her to pieces before she could throw herself in front of me. Fear rose in my heart but I suppressed it, meeting his stare with one of mine and a shrug. “Isn’t it obvious? I don’t have an appetite. Especially for something cooked by your fated mate. If I'm hungry, I’ll ask Alice to prepare something for me, after all, she’s the best chef in the realm.” He frowned, his brows creasing. “Didn’t I just tell you how much work Morgan put in to make that for you? In her condition, she still thinks about you and this is what you do? have you no conscience –” “Are you taking me home or not, Wade?” I cut in. “I’m exhaus

Never The Same

Jenn’s POV I went into my bedroom immediately, not waiting for either of them. I’d been in a good mood at the infirmary, but now it felt like that was ages ago. I wasn’t just feeling the pain of my slow healing, I was also exhausted from being caught in the middle of Morgan’s drama. I had showered and was laying on the bed trying to rest when Wade walked in. I didn’t need to open my eyes to know that it was him when the bed dipped beside me and I felt his hands on my skin. “Jenn,” he began, his voice low and hesitant. “I know I haven’t been much of a good husband to you lately. I know that, and I’m sorry. Trust me, all I’m trying to do is look out for my fated. After the rough past she's had, I wouldn’t feel good if I didn’t do right by her.” He heaved a sigh and continued. “I never wanted something like this to bring issues between us, but it seems that’s all that happens lately and I’m going to take all the blame. I’m really sorry. When I saw you lying there… Goddess knows how

You’re Invited

Jenn’s POV Surprisingly, I didn’t feel as angry as I thought I would be after he left. What I felt more was exhaustion and numbness. Even the bond didn’t hurt as much and I had to attribute that to the fact that my wolf was temporarily absent. I placed my hand on my stomach as my thoughts drifted to my pregnancy. It was still hard to believe that I was pregnant, but what struck me most was that Wade didn’t even seem to notice. Usually, pregnancy was one of the things that couldn’t be hidden since it was very easy to detect the child’s heartbeat, change in scents and aura with our heightened senses. Still, I guess it was a good thing he had no idea about it because I wanted to keep this hidden from him for as long as I could. Hopefully, Bree’s medication would help me mask the pregnancy temporarily until I found a more permanent solution. I was laying in bed, deep in thoughts when the door creaked open and Wade tip-toed into the bedroom. I quickly shut my eyes, feigning sleep, but

A Change Of Heart

Jenn’s POV I took a deep breath in. “As much as all you’ve said makes so much sense, I think I have to remind you that I’m not fine. Alva, I just survived falling off a cliff with no wolf to take the brunt of the fall. Again, I have no wolf to help me heal. I’m literally human at this point.” I sniffed, holding back the tears that threatened to fall. Now that I was listing out all of my problems, I realized how much it was. How… bad. “I don’t even look fit enough to attend a gathering,” I continued. “If I show up like this, all they’ll see is weakness. They’ll start asking the wrong questions.” “Which is why you have to control the narrative,” Alva replied. “Don’t you think it's high time you started taking the bull by the horn. You can’t keep letting Morgan get away with doing all of these, else you’ll lose everything.” “And what can I do?” I asked. “I can’t magically heal overnight, Alva. And I can’t summon my wolf even if it’s just to prove a point. Morgan has won, she’s still

A Summer Solstice: What Will You Do If You Met Your Fated Mate?

Jenn’s POV I woke up quite early the next day even though the party was around evening. As usual, Wade was not in bed beside me, but that was no longer surprising. I stayed in bed for a few more minutes, listening to the steady rhythm of my heartbeat. I’d just finish downing the last dose of my potion when a knock sounded on the door and Alva let herself in. She frowned at the look of surprise on my face and my hand which had quickly moved under my dress to hide the potion vial. “You scared me,” I said, heaving a sigh of relief. Her frown deepened as she slowly closed the door behind her. “What are you hiding? Goddess, please tell me what I smell is real… You made a potion?” I couldn’t stop the smile that curled the corners of my lips and I shrugged. “Well, I know someone who gives very good advice. She spoke to me yesterday and I thought, what’s there to lose? Besides, I have been keeping this part of me away for too long.” Alva squealed, engulfing me in an excited hug. Her

A Summer Solstice:The Party

Jenn’s POV I swallowed whatever response clawed at my throat and stepped back, giving them space. Morgan’s lips curved in a small, victorious smile as Wade rounded the car and got into the driver’s seat without another word. Not once did he look back at me. Fine. I opened the back door myself and slid in, smoothing my dress over my knees. The drive was quiet – for me at least. Morgan chatted softly from the front, her voice light, almost cheerful, and Wade responded in low murmurs. They sounded… comfortable. I stared out the window, letting the passing lights blur, refusing to let the tightness in my chest show on my face. If tonight was a test, then I would not fail it by breaking first. The party was already alive by the time we arrived. Music drifted through the air, warm and rhythmic, weaving through the laughter and chatter spilling from the great hall. Flames danced as pack members milled about in elegant attire, their scents mingling into something rich and heady. Wade pa

A Gruesome Mistake

Jenn’s POV The man standing before me chuckled, low and dry. This was Morgan’s father? The mad Alpha? He was standing right in front of me and I had no idea – no idea that I was smiling and talking to the man who killed my parents! The same man who was now after my life. Who may have planted his daughter in our family, to tear us apart and find whatever it was they were looking for. I gasped; my eyes widened as a sickening feeling rose like bile inside me. The man smiled at my reaction and leaned in. “I’m so sorry I got introduced like this,” his fingers grazed my cheek, making my skin crawl. “I would have gone for a better introduction, but trust Morgan to be excessively dramatic.” I opened my mouth and closed it like a fish out of water. The words were right there at the tip of my tongue, but for some reason, I couldn’t say it. Even though my legs refused to move, I was frozen in place by both fear and shock. He was here! He was right in front of me! Wade looked like he’d b
