CHRISTIAN POV"What? Why would you even make such a decision? Isn't it absurd that she takes over your place with little experience?" Talia bursted out staring at me coldly. I could see anger in her eyes as she spoke,"Emily isn't inexperienced. She carried out an operation alone even without a license months ago, and she has incredible skills. I think she's the best person for this position.""This isn't you, it's your feelings. It's very clear you're blindly in love with her and that's the reason for this decision." Talia fired back, but I wasn't going to scold her,"If you don't mind, I have to do something important." This was me indirectly asking her to leave my office since I was in no mood to scold her. "Christian,""It's Dr Christian, Talia," I responded, still holding myself from getting angry while she scoffed and rose to her feet. "I have no idea whatever spell she cast on you, but this isn't you. This isn't the man I always looked up to when I first met." She uttered and b
TYLER: NIGHT FALL."Can I come with you? What if something goes wrong, Tyler?" Karen kept asking questions as I was getting prepared to leave the pack for the secret hideout. I knew if I missed this opportunity, then another would never be able to come by so easily. I took her hand in mine and drew closer to her."No. I can't risk you getting exposed to danger." I uttered and kissed her forehead gently. It was because of the baby, but I didn't want to say that to her else Karen might end up sneaking out and coming with me."Are you certain you'll be fine? Please bring her to me safe and sound." She begged softly, and staring into her eyes, I saw fear. Was she worried about me getting hurt over there, or was she worried about the safety of her mom? "I promise, I'll bring her home to you." When she nodded her head, I let go of her head and cocked my head towards Zane.As soon as I nodded my head at him, he began walking away with some other wolves he had arranged earlier. I turned arou
CHRISTIAN:"The Voltori are here? What are they doing here? What do they want?" Shane questioned surprisingly. I had not wanted him to know earlier, but right now, I had bi choice because I needed all the help that I could get."Yes, they're here. They want me to become one of them or pledge my alliance to their pack, but I can't do that. They know my true identity, and I can't let anyone out there find out.""What about Mia? Isn't she...""Shane, I'm leaving Mia's safety to you. Mia can never find out exactly how powerful her wolf is or anyone in the world. If that happens, she'll be in grave danger and we might not be able to protect her."I watched Shane curl his hands, "What's wrong? Did something happen?" I was curious to know because he only does that whenever he is mad about something,"No, nothing. I'll protect Mia no matter what, Alpha. I won't let her out of my sight." The sound of Shane's voice made me know that he meant every single word he said and I was happy. I could ne
AUTHOR'S POVKaren stood at the entrance of the two big doors leading to the living room. She had her hands on her protruding stomach, rubbing it gently."Your dad is going to be home safe and sound right? Nothing's going to happen to him right? I don't have to be worried right?" Karen questioned, trying to calm herself down with these words even though it was clear that she felt uneasy. Tyler might be so harsh to her, hate her for everything, for destroying his marriage, and even love someone else, but the undeniable fact was that she loved him very much and this feeling was so hard to battle.She had tried too hard to hate him in return, but it all failed."Luna Karen, your meal is ready, and the doctor will be on his way to check up on you in less than an hour. The maids are also preparing a warm bath for you." Karen heard but didn't turn her gaze at the maid who had just announced all of this,"Luna...""I heard you the first time, but I'll eat when my Alpha returns to the pack. I
CHRISTIAN: "Hey...""Shhhhhhh, Lilith's asleep. I need to take her to her room right now." Emily cut me off and I nodded. I walked closer to the bed and saw Lilith asleep while Emily was gently trying to pick her up in her arms so she wouldn't wake up."Let me," I uttered, and Emily stepped aside. I had taken care of Lilith since she was a baby, and even though she hardly talked to me, I knew how to carry her in my arms in a comfortable manner. I pulled away my suit jacket, dropped it on the bed beside her, and pulled out my wristwatch."Here, hold on to this." As Emily collected it, I leaned closer to Lilith and placed my hands on her back. As I picked her in my arms, she made a little movement making Emily think she would wake, but she didn't,"Oh, thank goodness," Emily uttered, while I began to walk away with Lilith. As I got to her room, I placed her on the bed gently while Emily placed the duvet on her properly. I watched her lean closer and planted a soft kiss on Lilith's fore
AUTHOR'S POV:"Take her in immediately," Zane ordered the maid who had stepped out of the room with Karen."My Luna, please let's go...""Shut the hell up! Just shut up." Karen yelled at her. "How can you tell me to go in when my husband is in that condition? Are you mad? I should be by his side and nowhere else." Karen yelled at Zane and sniffled. "What are you waiting for? Take him in right now."Although Zane was surprised, he carried the alpha in while Karen followed behind him, trying as much as possible not to break down,"What about the pack doctor?""Someone has been sent. He'll be here in a few minutes." Zane responded, but Karen shook her head in negation, "We can't afford a few minutes. I know one or two about treatment and so I can help him till the pack doctor arrives." Karen tried to take a step closer to Tyler, but she was blocked by Zane who stood right in front,"I'm so sorry, Luna, but I can't let you do that. What I'd something goes wrong and you worsen his conditio
AUTHOR'S POV"Are you certain you? What if you go in there and she tries to hurt you? You're pregnant for the Alpha's child Karen.""I know. More than anyone, I care about this baby too, but she's my mother and if she recognizes me, she's never going to hurt me.""We really shouldn't take such a risk, at least till the Alpha wakes up and approves of this," Zane said holding the door knob. If anything happened to Karen, then Tyler would have his head on a plate because the baby would be gone too."Zane, nothing would happen to me. As long as you're with me, I promise nothing will happen. Stay close." He heaved deeply and opened the door as she had instructed. After Karen took a deep breath in, she walked into the room to meet a woman seated on a small bed.It was just like she remembered. Her mother had not changed even a bit. She was still the most beautiful woman that she remembered when she was still young,"Mother," Karen called out in a low whisper, but she was still seated starin
AUTHOR'S POVThe door was forced open, and at the same time, Zane rushed into the room when Tyler's mother had gotten in already. "What's wrong?" Zane questioned."Where is my son? You're my son's Beta and get you stay here and watch this witch almost kill my son? You should be killed right away for your incompetence."Zane arched his brows as he stared at her, trying as much as possible to hold back his anger. "She has to leave this pack. Baby or not, she isn't fit to be Luna of this pack.""That's for the Alpha to decide, and until he's awake, she's under my protection. I suggest you wait till the Alpha wakes up."Before Zane could utter another word, a resounding slap was dropped on his face, "How dare you talk to me in that manner? Are you crazy? I am the Alpha mother, and my words are also that of my son's so get this evil witch out of this mansion."Karen rose to her feet and walked towards them,"Mom, I suggest you...""Mom? Did you just call me mom? I'm not your mother and I
