Lucas went to grab a chair that was in the room, then he carried it to where Astrid was seated on the floor, he kept the chair in front of her before taking a seat."So, you want to know why I haven't gotten rid of you all these while and kept you close to me for many years?" "What the hell are you talking about!?" Astrid seethed, breathing heavily.Lucas chuckled softly. "You really have no idea of what you truly are and the kind of power you hold." He replied, causing a huge frown to appear on Astrid's face."Let me tell you about what you really are....''"I never knew you were a lucky wolf until the day you had your first shift and I saw the color of your fur, a wolf like you is truly rare Astrid and if words gets out about you, many people will come for you and it's not going to be for good." He started. "Have you ever wondered why your wolf's coat is golden and has silver streak?" He asked, but Astrid said nothing because she's never really thought about why her wolf's color wa
When they arrived at the wild crest pack, it wasn't easy getting inside the palace since the guards wouldn't let them in, so they had to fight their way in, leading to so much death and bloodshed.When they've successful won over the guards and went inside, they searched everywhere for Astrid and Lucas, but they were nowhere to be found in the palace."Damn it!" Kai screamed in rage."Calm down Kai, we'll find her, that's for sure." Dan comforted."There's no time to waste, I should have known that damn man would switch locations." Kai spat."What do we do next?" Crystal asked.They all had blood stains on their clothes and face."I know Astrid scent so well, I can find her by tracking down her scent." Kai replied, then he ran outside while the others trailed behind him.They all dashed into the woods, following Kai's lead.Meanwhile, Lucas had successfully gotten Astrid to shift into her wolf form, she was a huge and lovely wolf with golden fur and silver streaks on her fur.He had a
Everyone is already back at the pack and Kai and Dan are back to their human form and now putting on clothes. Astrid wanted to see the triplets immediately before doing anything else, so the trio went upstairs to the room they had kept the triplets and a maid to watch over them.When they got to the room, the sight that met them was something they never expected.The maid they had left in charge of the triplets was lying dead on the floor, drowning in a pool of her own blood and the triplets were nowhere to be found."K...Kai." Astrid stuttered, staring at the dead maid in shock.There was a note lying beside the maid and she hurriedly went to pick it up, she opened it up and it was note written to her, telling her that the triplets were going to die if she didn't leave Kai alone.Astrid covered her mouth as hot tears streamed down her cheeks, she could clearly recognize the owner of that writing.Kai and Dan rushed to her side, he took the paper from her and when he read it, his face
Astrid had just arrived at the location Kathryn sent to her, she got down from the car and looked around, but there was no sight of Kathryn or her kids anywhere. She was about calling her with the same phone from earlier when she finally saw her.Astrid didn't wait for Kathryn to get to her, she ran to her instead."Where are my kids Kathryn?'' She asked.Kathryn rolled her eyes at her. "First thing first, did you come alone?" She asked while looking around."Of course I did." Astrid replied with a straight face."Good, now come with me." Kathryn ordered."Where are my kids!?" Astrid impatiently asked."If you want to see them then you'll come with me." Kathryn replied with gritted teeth, already feeling extremely pissed.Astrid didn't say anything else after that, she quietly went with Kathryn. Kathryn took her to where the kids were."Mommy!!" The triplets screamed on seeing her.Astrid immediately ran to them and hugged them tightly. "Oh goodness, thank the goddess you three are al
A few days has passed and things seems to be more stable, Astrid was now living her best life in the shadow claw pack with her mate and kids. She already introduced Kai to the triplets and told them that he was their real father, not Lucas. Obviously, the kids had a lot of questions to ask, she and Kai did their best in explaining to their understanding, although the kids would never fully get the story until they are all grown up, but they loved Kai so much already and accepted him with open arms. Crystal and Kieran had also come to pay them a visit. The kids reaction on seeing Kieran was priceless, they mistook him for Lucas and everyone couldn't resist laughing that day, but then they made them understand that Kieran wasn't Lucas, but his identical twin brother, they also used them as an example, since they were also identical, and that cleared up their confusion. Currently, Astrid was in bed sleeping, but her sleep got interrupted when she perceived the aroma of the food Kai had
*Astrid's POV*I sat on the edge of the bed, my heart pounding hard in my chest. Anxiety gnawed at me as I waited for the doctor to reveal the results of my tests. The scent of antiseptic hung heavily in the air, heightening my uneasiness.Dr. May entered the room with a warm smile. And from the look on her face, I bet she could sense my apprehension. Sitting down across from me, she clasped her hands together and spoke softly.“Congratulations Luna, you're one month pregnant!” “What!?” I yelled in shock as I stood up.I literally couldn't believe it, a great feeling of relief coursed through me. This all seemed like a dream to me, I've been trying to get pregnant for such a long time, I've literally lost all hope in ever getting to be pregnant and now this has happened.“Are you being serious, doctor? T.. this isn't a joke, right? Am I truly pregnant?” I questioned in tears.“Yes Luna, this isn't a joke or a dream, you're pregnant!” Doctor May replied with a huge smile on her face,
*Astrid's POV*“Kai.” I called in tears“H...how could you do this to me?''Words couldn't describe the kind of pain I'm feeling presently, my whole world literally came crumbling before my very own eyes and I didn't have the courage to tell the good news to Kai. How could I? He betrayed me, he rejected me and all for what reason? Just because he believes me to be barren and unable to give him an heir.Kathryn got off the bed, then she came to wrap her hands around Kai's waist.That little act alone felt like I was being stabbed countless times in my heart.“You heard what he said Astrid, you're no longer the Luna of this pack, you shouldn't even be standing here right now, go find something to do, the same things' people like you do. Slaves!” She spat, a victorious smirk plastered on her lips.“Kathryn, I never imagined that you would do this to me, I never imagined that you would betray me like this, I took you as my sister!” “Don't try fooling us with your crocodile tears Astrid, i
*Astrid's POV*“How's she? Isn't she supposed to be awake now? She's been out for two days.”“There's nothing for you to worry about Alpha, she's fine and besides, she wasn't in a good state when you brought her in, plus let's not forget the fact that she's with child too, she needs all the rest she can get and her reports states that everything is fine, and she's stable, so there's nothing for you to worry about.”“Why are you bothering yourself about someone you don't even know! And why bring a pregnant woman into this pack! I do not approve of this, Lucas.”“You have no say in this matter, Crystal. I am the Alpha and you have no right to tell me who I can help or not help. It'll be best if you leave, since your presence is not needed here.”This was the conversation I heard, and I slowly opened my eyes but closed them immediately due to the brightness of the light.I waited a while for my eyes to adjust to the lights before opening them again, I looked around to see myself in a hos
