Melissa (Gabriella’s Pov) I woke up without the familiar knocking from Alpha Farrell. “Is he tired of me already?” I said as I stood from my bed, walking to the bathroom to wash my face. Looks like nature had done its best to relieve me of my stress; I thought as I threw a smile at my reflection in the mirror.I was almost four months gone and could feel the movements in my stomach. Lyra had gone from worry to excitement, feeling another life, rather, two lives as she knew what dwelt inside me.“I’m coming,” I said excitedly as I heard a knock on my door. Although I knew he came every morning with a cup of coffee; it never dulled the feeling.I rushed to the door, tying my hair along the way. The door opened to show me another sight, with my excitement dying down like burning embers without wood.“Good morning, Gabriella.”I stopped, staring at Claire as she held a cup of steaming coffee in her hands.“Alpha Farrell asked me to bring you to the gardens,” she said as she stretched th
Alfredo’s Pov The bed felt uncomfortable to my body. I stood up walking to the window to stare at the sky. The sun was high in the sky, shedding its rays around me. Sheila slept peacefully, her soft snores caressing my ears at that moment, but it couldn’t lure me back to bed.“Where are you, Melissa?” I said as I looked outside; the wind rippling through the room and sending the curtains flailing to its touch. It’s been two weeks and I haven’t been able to leave the pack. A huge chunk of the reason was that I was Alpha now, and I was married, but most of the decision still laid on the shoulders of mother and Sheila’s father, yet they would not let me go out as I pleased.I gave a sigh as I relaxed on the windowsill, folding my hands across my chest.“We are not giving up our search for her, are we?” Dex asked. He must have sensed my troubled mind, but that was the most he could say, as we knew she hadn’t revoked the first bond, but the question remained. She only had to be in the sa
Sheila’s POV. I woke up, rubbing my hand across the bed to find it empty. I sat up with the speed of a chased hare, covering my eyes as the light phasing through the windows was blinding.“Where did he go?” I yawned as I rolled out of bed. I thought I would be tired after everything we’ve been through. I sighed as I walked to the bathroom. It still smelled of the soap he used to wash himself.“You’ve become obsessed with him,” Lisa said as I sniffed the air before turning on the shower to take my bath, regulating it to my desired temperature.“That’s what I can do,” I said with a smile, biting my lips as I took off my clothes. The water gave a sizzling feeling as it rained down my body. I moaned as delved into the pleasure of cleaning myself after another tiring day.I walked down the stairs to find Mom sitting with her face on the television. I knew she was watching a soap opera.“Where did they go to?”“Your father went for one of his meetings, and your mate went to stroll the pac
Alpha Farrell’s Pov. I sat on the tree top, watching as walked in the woods, twirling like she was a princess. No actions of hers showed she belonged to royalty, but I felt even if she didn’t. She had alpha blood running through her veins.Her protruding stomach wouldn’t let her move with the grace of a youthful body, but she moved gracefully, at least. I held my breath as she bent down to pick a flower, waiting to swoop in and save her if she made one wrong step.“That’s her.” The voices sounded close by. She must have heard it too, as she stopped to look around.“Who’s there?” She asked as she stood her ground. I sat still, watching and waiting as two men stepped on the grassy plain. Evil intent was written on their faces.“Wouldn’t you do something?” Ora asked as we watched the scene. He sounded hungry for action, as my routine had been around Gabriella lately.“They sounded like they knew her. We can only watch and see how much we can glean from them,” I answered him. The men we
Melissa (Gabriella’s Pov) I know someone carried me as I struggled in vain to break from the effect of the tranquilizer. It was okay I wasn’t dead, and I wanted to know who would send men after me. I forced my eyes open, but all I could see was static, feeling the thud of someone carry me away.“Is he going to know someone kidnapped me? What is he going to do if he finds out I’ve been kidnapped?” Those were the questions that ran through my mind with every step.I woke up gasping for air, feeling woozy from the tranq plus a slight headache from the light entering my eyes. My legs felt wobbly as I dropped them to the floor because I almost collapsed if I had not held onto something.“Who’s there?” I called out as I heard voices talking outside the door. I couldn’t tell where I was, blinded by both light and the haziness of the drug.“You should not be on your feet,” I heard a familiar voice as I almost fell once more.“Alpha Farrell.” I could almost feel a sob escaping my lips when I
Alpha Farrell’s Pov“Time to find out some truth,” I said as I walked out of Gabriella’s room. “What is the situation of things?”“They are in the dungeon,” Aiden said as he followed me, pushing the glass on his face back to his nose.“No information from any of them?” I asked as I strolled out of the house. I was going to walk to the dungeon instead of taking a car as I did with Gabriella when we first found her. The moon stood overhead us, slowly taking over from where the sun left.“They were shot with the tranquilizer they used on Gabriella and they should be awake at this moment as well.” He said as he followed me at my pace. I let out a groan as he should have told me this piece of information as well. I did not want to leave Gabriella alone or with his sister, but it did not matter at this moment as it was better to find some truth concerning her.“You should have told me it was speculation on your part,” I let out my thought. At least I was walking to the dungeon. It would t
Melissa (Gabriella’s Pov) I woke up to the sound of knocking. Claire was no longer sitting where she was before I fell asleep.“I’m coming!” I screamed as I dragged myself from the bed. My body still felt heavy after the tranq, but I felt lighter after the night’s rest.“I didn’t think you would sleep till that moment.”A smile crossed my face when I heard his voice, with the smell of coffee wafting through the door.“Shouldn’t you be with some prisoners by this time?” I asked as I opened the door. As usual, he stood with his blue eyes glinting in the morning, holding two cups of coffee in his hands. “Prisoners? I never knew I had prisoners,” he said as he placed the coffee in my hands. “Want to go for a walk or you would prefer to be in your room?”“I prefer the room today and I will not ask for any work today,” I said as I walked to my couch, moaning as I sat in the chair. He chuckled as he followed, sitting on the adjacent seat. “You said something about not having prisoners.”“T
Alfredo’s Pov I stood from the bed, watching the sunrise in the morning, casting its glow across the land. “Come to the bar.” The text message read before I sent it to the recipient I wanted. Two weeks had gone by and I had no reply from him concerning his findings. Dex was grumpy, the same as I as I did nothing but pace the room when I was alone.“Still awake?”I turned to see Sheila staring at me with her head propped up by her elbow. She performed her duties as a future Luna, but it wasn’t what I wanted at the moment. A little information about Melissa would do my soul some good.“What are you thinking about?” She asked as she crawled across the length of the bed to where I stood.“It’s nothing,” I lied as I stretched my hand to the table, grabbing the bottle of wine placed last night.“It is not nothing if you would resort to drinking by this time of the morning,” she said as she climbed up to me.“I never knew drinking had a timetable,” I said as I turned, taking her into my a
