RAVEN'S POV{Three Months Later…}I sat on my throne seat, listening as the elders made their report. My mind wasn't in what they were saying as I couldn't get myself to concentrate. It's been three months and yet, Sophia hasn't gotten pregnant.I was tired and devastated, and I wanted to leave this place. But it would be unwise of me to walk without a reason. Instead, I asked them to leave.“You all should leave, we'll have this conversation tonight.” “At what time, sir?” The chief elder asked.“I'll inform you when. For now, I want to be left alone.” “Alright, sir.” I watched them leave the room one after the other.I couldn't think straight sitting on my throne chair, I had to stand up, hoping it would help. This month just made it three fucking months, and I can't stand to be proud of myself before the people.And alpha king without an heir? This was one reason why I broke up with Olivia, because she couldn't conceive despite the countless times we've slept together.Now, I thou

RICK'S POVI was with the elders when Isaac, my bodyguard, walked in. “Alpha.” He called. There was a sudden silence as all eyes turned to look at him. “Yes, I'm listening.” I said, giving him a go ahead.“It's a message from our spy in the Dark Moon Pack.” He reported. On hearing the Dark Moon Pack, I felt interested to know.“Go ahead.”“Lately, he's been feeling depressed. The spy did say that for the first time he visited the hospital.”“Hospital?” I repeated to be sure. “What was he doing in the hospital?”“He didn't go alone, he was accompanied by his Luna. So, from what he overheard, Alpha Raven had gone to visit a consultant concerning the issue of not having a child yet.”I burst out laughing. I had no idea he wasn't a father yet, I mean… he did mocked me for not having a mate yet, so I was going to do the same to him.I know doing so would definitely get to him harder than it had gotten to me. I'm definitely going to show him what it means to stay out of other people's pers

OLIVIA'S POV "Alpha Rick, what—""Shh," he whispered, his voice low and commanding. "I prefer the room dark.”My mind raced as I tried to make sense of his words. Was there any way to ignore an Alpha's call? Would it be a crime if I have to? Because right now, I don't get why he'd request for me in his room and yet, prefers to talk in the dark.Still, I could feel the electricity that pulsed between us, the thrill of being so close to him in the dark."Okay," I whispered back, my voice barely audible over the pounding sound of my heartbeat.He released my wrist, and I took a cautious step away, my senses on high alert as I tried to navigate the darkness. I could feel his presence looming over me, his scent filling my senses. I don't know what was going on, but I figured out that my body was somehow betraying me.Suddenly, I felt his hand on my waist, pulling me toward himself until I was standing inches away from him. I could feel the heat of his body against mine, the tension betwee

OLIVIA'S POV“You're pregnant, aren't you?”I didn't say anything.“Who's the father?” He asked.Why does he care to know who the father is now?“It's not bad knowing, is it?” He shrugged his shoulders.Did he just read my mind?“The more you keep talking in your mind, the louder it becomes in my ears.”I muted every word in my mind and the ones yet to come out from my mouth. “You didn't turn dumb all of a sudden, did you?” “My ex.” I finally told him.“Raven?” He asked as if he didn't know who I was talking about. “Isn't this the main reason why he rejected you for her?”“How did you know?”“I didn't know, you just told me right now.” He smiled. That wasn't funny. I don't remember saying the reason why Raven rejected me to anyone. How the fuck does he know about it all?“Like I said, I never knew. I just guessed it, and your response proved I was right.” He made steps away from me. “If only he knew the reason why he had rejected you was the same thing he'd face with her.”I was con

RICK'S POV"Rick..." Anna called as she stormed after me. God. The heavens knew I was not ready for another argument with her. I hated having to yell at her to drive my point across to her so that she would leave me alone. She knew that and yet she pushed me. She pushed me to the edge of madness and back.It had been two days since I spoke to Olivia. I did say I'll wait for her response, and I was actually keeping to that. I had the patience in me, but my only hope was… she wouldn't turn me down after this long wait. I was very touchy and Anna was making all efforts to force me to snap at her. To be frank? She wasn't helping matters at the moment."Rick, come back here, I'm still talking," she screeched, her voice going up to such a pitch that I was worried that the glass part of the windows would shatter. They did not shatter, but my resolve to not yell at her did. And I snapped."What, Anna? What now?" I spun around to face her, cutting her steps off. Her eyes widened with surpri
