IslaThe kids kept talking at once, and I suggested we go to the garden outside. They needed fresh air with the way they were using the one we managed to tell their daddy everything.But they paid me no attention, until Axel repeated what I had said, then they agreed gleefully, racing him to the garden while I waited behind to pack up the essentials they would need.I have seen Tessa excited many times, but never have I seen Tristan that excited since I gave birth to him. They spoke to him like they have known him for years, something that was weird for them to do to strangers. Tessa could offer a smile to a stranger, but Tristan avoided them completely. But seeing them do this, made me wonder if it was the bond between their father and them.Maybe it was stronger since they were all Alpha wolves.Whatever it was, I felt oddly protective. Maybe it was a bad idea giving in to their demands. How would things be when we have to return back home? Would they want to leave their dad especia
IslaFor the past few days, I have seen more of Axel than I ever imagined I would, and it bothered me for numerous reasons, none I could articulate clearly .Tessa looked completely healed whenever he was around, and Tristan was more outspoken as he communicated with his father on topics I had no idea a boy under ten could understand.I steered clear of him when he was with them, busying myself with my work. I was behind in many aspects, but my close friend and my manager had everything under control.The date for the surgery was approaching fast, which also meant the day of our departure and our wedding, but I couldn't bring myself to be too excited, since the kids were getting too attached to Axel.Sigh. I couldn't even talk to Dante about it. He already was upset that the kids didn't want to talk to him, so hearing that they wouldn't want to come home would be pushing it.Currently as I struggled to think of what to do, Tessa and Tristan were occupied with their daddy. I rolled my
IslaOn many occasions I've felt embarrassed in degrees I couldn't explain. Long before I was chased out of the room in nothing but a blanket, I've been embarrassed on many occasions.But this, this moment where the kids decided to ask the simple, innocent yet embarrassing question, it takes the cake.The kids I love so much decided to ask a question that caused me to peel my body off his with an alarming speed, then trip yet again, and land on my butt in the middle of the room, narrowly missing one of the lego toys that could have maimed my butt if i had landed on it.The laughter that ensued after my embarrassing fall echoed from the culprits, my kids and i could see the battle between Axel and himself as he watched me peel myself from the floor, the corner of his mouth refraining from turning up, but his eyes were a different story.“You okay?” he asked in mock sincerity and i shot him a glare, hoping he got the fuck you message i was sending with my eyes.“That was the funniest th
IslaThings have been, well, more stiff since my last talk with Axel as we prepared for the surgery which was already here, and the guilt I felt for telling him off ate me up from the inside.It gave me sleepless nights, as if he had not done more than worse in the past, and that annoyed me. Why was I, the victim of betrayal and mental abuse, guilty for telling the man who just wanted to know how I felt, off?And if that wasn't worse, the mutual agreement of peace we unconsciously had because of the kids seemed like it was cancelled, as Axel never said more than two words to me.Hey, without more than a stiff nod.Bye, with no nods at all.Even the kids noticed, but they had not said anything about it yet, but as their mother, I knew it was just a matter of time.And Dante, oh Dante.Words couldn't begin your describe how our relationship was. He still managed to call me everyday, but it wasn't the same as before. It felt stiff, unlike the times before he ruined it, and after that, he
IslaAxel's body felt like coals on my skin and he shivered, a clear sign that he was having a fever, just a day to the surgery.This was really bad.I had to do something.I tried to pull myself from Axel's hold, but he refused to let me go as he gripped onto my waist, his skin brushing mine scrambling my line of thoughts."Axel, you have to let me go. I need to help you with your fever." I tried to pry his grip off me, but it was impossible to pry."Axel I will be back,I just need to get you a wet blanket."He let out a breath of hair on my visible shoulder and I shuddered."Okay." He breathed out letting go of my shoulder.The clinic was miles away from here, and I would not be able to take Axel there myself, so I had to make sure I helped him until morning when he could go to the clinic.I got up on my feet, doing the first things first when someone had a fever.I quickly retrieved a cold, damp washcloth from the bathroom, and gently placed it on Axel's forehead. His skin was burn
IslaThe healers commended me for the first aid I delivered to Axel, and I felt a bit of pride as they said because of my help, Axel was going to get better quickly, but we were not sure if it would be in time for the surgery, which was tomorrow.Axel offered to do the surgery despite knowing survival for him might be slim because of his fever, but still, he didn't want to jeopardise the health of our baby girl any longer, and my heart swelled with a mix of emotions I wasn't ready to unpack, at least not until I knew what exactly was the way forward.The preparations for the surgery were in full force, and I was mentally preparing myself not to break down during the surgery and be strong for my baby girl.The healer administered a drug that was sure to give Tessa energy, which made Tessa drowsy. It was counterproductive, but the healer promised it was going to show during the surgery.The healers also advised that it would be better to have the surgery tonight. I vehemently refused b
LanaSleep was a luxury I couldn't afford. Night was the time I was tormented the most. The threats were getting worse than anything I had ever seen before and they weren't just empty threats.I learned the hard way.The evil In the actions were more than I thought Isla was capable of.Turns out I was right, because as I ran with Isla junior in my arms as fast as I could without waking her up, I knew there was no way in hell Isla would want me to kidnap her child.This was greater than anything I had ever witnessed. I shivered as I recalled yesterday, when I had decided that I had enough of the threats and the impossible missions. I packed my things, attempting to leave the pack for good, I was no one's dog.My dreams to be Luna were long dead. My life was on the line. If I stayed just one more day in the pack.But my hopes were trashed as I was ambushed on the way.No one could hear my screams for help as I was dragged in the woods, I thought that was it. I was going to die all becau
AxelMy heart rang in my head as Isla ran in, tears in her eyes as she told me Tessa had been taken.Rage clouded my vision, and I ripped myself off the bed. I could barely think of anything apart from ripping whoever took my daughter apart.My world came crashing down when I saw the nanny who was supposed to be watching her almost dead due to consumption of too many sleeping pills. She was drugged so she could be easily disposed of.The person who did this was definitely someone who knew the ins and out of this pack and the schedule of our surgery plans.I assigned a couple of guards to question the healers. They were definitely involved in the disappearance of my daughter.It could also be the last person who made them change the DNA test results. Could it really be the person in my mind?In that case, I might be too late."Spread out into every part of this pack! Houses, stores, anywhere that isn't locked and that is locked!" I barked at a large part of the guards. They all went to
