Aliyah
I was in my third month of pregnancy. If I were a normal human, my condition was only equivalent to the first trimester of the way through. But as a part-lycan, my pregnancy progressed much faster, and now my belly was already in the full-term stage. The babies inside me were growing rapidly, and I could feel their movements more and more each day.
Grandma Tasha said that I wouldn't be able to shift during the duration of my pregnancy, as it would be too risky for both me and the babies. And since she muted my seer and banshee energies, I felt more vulnerable than ever. The only comfort I had was knowing that my babies would soon be my new bundle of joy, and that I had a strong support system around me. Aside from Grandma Tasha and Ashton, Mother Grace and Father Desmund were so excited to welcome their grandchildren into the world.
Aliyah"I'm here to make sure you don't forget where you came from.""No…" I stepped back, dread was creeping up my spine. "You can't be him. You're not real."I didn't want to say his name, as I didn't even want to acknowledge the possibility that he could be standing in front of me. But deep down, I knew the truth—my past was catching up with me faster than I had anticipated. I knew he wasn't the type to be easily knocked off, not because he was strong, but because he was just an obsessive bastard."How did you get here?" I managed to choke. I turned around and spotted the medical staff who were getting water for me. She looked at me with concern, sensing my distress, so she hurriedly called the royal guards standing nearby.
King Ashton"Are you alright, Your Majesty?" my personal royal guard asked. We were already half an hour away from the first pack which I would be visiting, but my wolf kept on growling in agitation."No, actually," I muttered, shaking my head. I was used to riding in a limousine for business trips, but just after a couple of minutes, I suddenly felt nauseous. My heart was beating rapidly, and my head was spinning. "Something is wrong."Fishing my phone out of my pocket, I quickly dialed Aliyah's number, checking if she was feeling the same way. It took several rings before it was picked up. I immediately asked, "How are you doing, my love? Please tell me you're okay."There was only silence on the other line, causing my anxiety to spike even more. After a few moments of
AliyahI wanted to punch Brayden in the face as he carried me through the dark halls. However, all of my strength was gone, and all I could feel was pain, particularly in my pelvic area. Am I going to give birth here? My mind raced with fear as I asked Brayden. "W-where are you taking me?""Oh, babe. Just relax. We're in the hospital.""H-hospital?"I tried to look around with my hazy sight. It might look like a hospital, but it was an abandoned one. The walls were covered in mold, and the smell of decay lingered in the air. Brayden's smile made my belly cramp even more as he whispered, "You and your baby will be safe here.""This is the opposite of being safe!" I hissed, trying to push myself away from him. "P-put me down!"
King Ashton Queen Astrid's Hospital was an abandoned human hospital that stopped functioning years ago. It was due to a lack of funding and resources, leaving the building in a state of disrepair. I stood in front of the building as I looked up to the window on the top floor. My wolf was growling at the thought that my pregnant wife had been kept in such a decrepit place. "So she's up there?" Camilla asked as she stood behind me. "Wow, that Brayden must be so desperate to have your wife, huh? Will I rip his head now, so we can bring your mate back home?" I shook my head, still looking upward. "I've underestimated him before, I won't make that mistake again." I turned to her, who was looking around as though she felt a sense of danger lurking in the shadows. "I can't thank you enough, Camilla. I never thought I wo
AliyahI was running; my clothes were bloody and torn from the branches that scratched against my skin. The sound of footsteps behind me grew louder, and I knew I had to find a place to hide before it was too late. Why was I even out here alone in the woods at night, escaping from something I didn't understand?Suddenly, I stepped on a sharp rock, causing me to stumble and fall to the ground. I tried to stand up, but I couldn't."Aliyah…"I raised my head to see a figure emerging from the darkness, calling my name. "Who are you?""You must come back," the silky voice said."Come back, where?""To your family."
AliyahOnce, I was a slave who was insulted and belittled. Despite my horrible background, I never stop loving and believing. And Ashton, despite his rough exterior, proved that true love can heal even the darkest wounds. The love we shared helped us to survive and thrive, demonstrating that love truly conquers all as the years go by. Our path together was difficult, but it was worth every moment of struggle and hardship. Love truly has the power to transform lives and bring light to even the most dreary of places.“Are you sure they’ll be okay?” I asked Ashton as we watched the twins wave at us before sliding in the limo. From here in the castle, we will have the royal security personnel accompany them to the airport and take them to their flight.Ashton put his arm around me and said, “Trust them, love. Archer and Austin just turned twenty yesterday. They are old enough to manage the pack in Wyoming on their own. Plus, they have each other for support.”“And more than anything else,
Escape with the Alpha's Triplets HEATHER I thought I would wake up in Ivik's arms. But when I opened my eyes, the other side of the bed was empty. I put my back against the headboard and curled the blanket around my sore body. Outside, the sun was already shining and its rays were sneaking into the room through the thick curtain. Ivik Clayton, my childhood best friend, was the son of Alpha Gregor of the Crimson Groove Pack, the largest wolf shifter territory here in Wyoming. On the other hand, I was the daughter of Alpha Gregor's warrior, who was killed in a pack war when I was a baby. A few days from now, Ivik will be proclaimed the new alpha of our pack. That's why I'm so happy for him because he deserves it so much. I'll be the first one to applaud, and the world will know how much we love each other. Ivik stood by the window, his muscles defined by the morning sun. His back was broad, and his long hair was pulled back into a neat ponytail. He was wearing only boxer shorts, wi
HEATHER My heart beat wildly against my ribcage as I stared at myself in the mirror. Today was a momentous day, not because of the Alpha Ceremony, but because today I will be known to the world as Ivik's girl. Finally, Ivik and I will no longer sneak around and worry that someone might see the two of us together. We won't be hiding our love for each other any longer. I looked again in the mirror. Almost perfect. The bodycon red dress hugged my body perfectly. My chestnut hair was tied in a bun, while a few wavy strands ran wild. I couldn’t control them, though. They were as excited as I was. 'You're the most beautiful woman in the world, pumpkin.' Those were the words I expected to hear from his sexy mouth. Then he'll kiss me and take me again, just as we did a week ago. I missed the feel of his warmth as we lay side by side. I badly wanted to be with him. Ivik was like a drug. A sin that I should not commit, but as a sinner, I had already fallen to the temptation of it. We just
