“Thank you so much,” I responded to Vanessa, who kept praising me ever since she has joined us at the lunch.
“That is truly amazing how quickly Octavia has mastered everything. I was so surprised when she took over the office and pack’s matters in no time,” My father pitched in, making me blush a little.
“Your mother is very talented,” Vanessa told Hope, who had been silent this entire time.
“And I am really sorry for you,” I ignored everything and focused on Silas, “I mean, it must be really hard for you to lose from someone as new like me,” I didn’t want him to forget that he lost this deal, his dream project.
“It’s fine. I must have messed up and not worked hard,” he responded very calmly, trying to focus on his steak.
My father passed me a glance and shook his head, he had been asking me to not overdo anything. He even noticed that Silas was awfully silent
I had been outside the guest room where the doctor had been with Hope for an hour. I hadn’t stopped crying and blaming myself for everything that had happened.“It is not your fault, you were just going through stuff yourself,” Vanessa gently patted my arm, I know she was lying. Everybody knew I messed up today, my daughter’s condition was all my doing only.“It is my fault, I shouldn’t have dragged Hope into all this,” I was speaking to Vanessa when Silas came from the outside. He had gone outside to call some of the best doctors and make appointments for Hope.“It is your fault, you took it too far,” he pointed his finger at me, steadily stepping back when he found my father walking towards us.“You will not point your finger at my daughter here,” My father stood between us. He knew I needed his support and the way I recalled his controlling behavior today gave him a hint that I wasn&rsqu
Vanessa had helped me back my stuff while my father has decided to adjust the business settings. Since I would be in the Reckless Growlers Pack, I will be holding the online meetings most of the time. Thankfully, Vanessa was very helpful in business so I wouldn’t worry about the meetings and the deals.It was just an uneasy feeling that now I have to live with Silas once again. The doctor then went ahead and told Silas a few things to take care of when we are with Hope and one of them involved showing affection and a little intimacy towards each other.“Just remember you are a good mother and everything you are doing is for Hope,” Vanessa knew it would be so hard for me to live under the same roof as Silas now. She wanted to make sure that she knows I wouldn’t live with Silas under normal circumstances.“Thank you for always having my back,” I hugged her, feeling bad that I lost myself in revenge so much that I hurt almost eve
After Tessa admitted to having forced Roxanne into the car with Silas and kick me out, things got awkward for all of us.It was just an excuse that Tessa made, a very weak one. She couldn't really come up with anything better as there was no lie that could comfort Silas.He left the mansion angrily to calm down and I walked back to the room where all my luggage was kept."You think you can come back and crush my year's old hard work under your feet?" Roxanne slammed the door open, rushing towards the bed as she yelled at me."You really have no shame, right?" I rolled my eyes, speaking to her without any hesitation.“I should be the one asking you this question. You are stealing my mate a---,” she was truly unbelievable for thinking she could still look me in the eye a question me.“Your mate? Are you sure?” I smirked, getting on my feet and facing her, “Maybe you are forgetting that your mother confessed to for
Hope woke up normal in the morning but her sadness towards Silas and I was still there. Since the doctor has asked us to not act like something weird or strange was happening, we had to send her to the school as if nothing had changed. Obviously, she didn’t speak to any of us in fact, she relied on Roxanne one of the reasons Silas had not kicked her out.After Silas went for the office, I had to spend my day with the vicious Roxanne, who had been grunting every time she walked past me.“What is your problem?” Finally, after spending hours just grunting and passing me glares, she reached up to me and stomped her foot, asking me what my problem was when she was the one being very aggressive towards me.“What is it now Roxanne? Did you just remember one of your evil activities and decided to blame it on me?” I shook my head, watching the TV in the living room and trying my best to avoid her.“What did you say to him last n
The lunch was awkward because I had still no clue why I listened to Roxanne when I didn’t want Tessa back myself.“I know you two want me to bring her back but I will not. There is no place for a woman so cunning like her in my pack,” once he finished the lunch, he addressed the situation.I wanted to tell him that I don’t why I asked him to forgive her but I didn’t truly want her forgiven but then remained silent as he would think I was now changing my mind in front of Roxanne.“But she is my mother,” Roxanne said in a low tone.“I don’t care,” Silas argued, his eyes were watching Roxanne in disbelief for expecting him to forgive the one who lied so much to him.“Your mother is the reason I wasn’t there for my daughter and my----and my mate,” he stole eyes from me, “and then she lied, making up stories about Octavia being a bad mother. You still think I would invit
Silas’ POV:A Few Years Ago:I had been forced by my friends to attend this outing where they had brought their girlfriends to spend time with them. One of them had a birthday and I didn’t even pay attention to which one it was. I didn’t want to leave the house but since my friends had been complaining about me not giving them time, I decided to give it a try today.“Your friend is the alpha king, right?” I heard a girl talking to my friend Matt, she was probably his girlfriend’s friend.“Yeah! He is. Wait let me introduce you to him,” Matt offered her a moment before he gently tapped his fingers on my shoulders.“Silas, meet Roxanne Whitlock, she is the alpha of the Masked Pride Pack,” Matt introduced me to this cute-looking girl, who was constantly checking herself and then me.“Hey, I am Silas Charming,” I didn’t aim for a hands
Silas’ POV:A Few Years Ago:I felt like a pervert watching her nonstop until somebody pushed me as they made their way to the counter and I lost my posture. I had to struggle to maintain my body on my feet and not fall onto my face.“Eh!” I complained as I maintained my body on my feet.“Hey, hey there,” the same girl voiced to make sure I am doing fine once she acknowledged I didn’t bump into her on purpose. I raised my face and my eyes started shining once again. This weird feeling inside me wanted to know more about her.“Umm, who are you again?” I smiled as I focused on her face. Her beautiful face with fuller lips and then the little pout she made when tilting her face piqued my interest more in her. I have met many ladies due to my status but none of them have ever been able to make me feel the way this girl was making me feel.“I am a she-wolf,&rd
Silas’ POV:A Few Years Ago:I groaned as my body felt weirdly uncomfortable sleeping in the car. A groan escaped my lips when I tried moving my muscles.“Argh!” I sighed a scoff, stretching when I realized I have almost hit someone. I raised my face and suddenly it felt like I wasn’t sleeping alone.I looked down and that’s when I almost let out a gasp loudly enough to wake up the girl under me.“Shi*!” I cursed, swiftly getting away and then hitting my head, realizing I have been sleeping in the car. Thank goodness the car was parked somewhere far away and near the woods where nobody could see us or else it would have made a big headline that I slept with a girl in the car.I remember watching fake news about me all over the internet. I woke up to hearing to the Alpha King was seen going into an apartment and then leaving a different apartment, who did they think I
