CHAPTER 29
Melinda’s POV
One month later…
“What are you reading?” Kain asked as he walked over and sat beside me on the couch. “Let me guess, another novel where the woman sacrifices everything to save her lover and suffers endlessly?” He whisked the book out of my hand and put it out of my reach. “There were so many good books at the library. Why did you have to choose a book with a trope like that, Melinda?”
He spread out a few books in front of me as he continued; pointing to each one of them as he spoke, “You could have chosen a book loaded with humor to make you laugh; or science fiction story that explores the vastness of the universe; or, you could have chosen a book where the main leads live a long, happy life surrounded by loved one.” He threw up his hands in frustration. “But, NO. You had to choose a heart-breaking story that will shatter your soul and make you cry.”<

Melinda’s POV “Kramen,” his name left my lips in a shocked gasp. When he didn’t respond or make a move towards me, I directed my thoughts towards my wolf, “Corel, do you think I am hallucinating?’‘I don’t think so…’ her voice held equal parts of delight and anxiousness. ‘I can feel his presence too. He is really here.”‘Impossible.’ We had been searching for him crazily for the past two months and now he just appeared in front of me; dressed in a suit, flowers in hand. It seemed too good to be true.Walking over to him, I placed my palm against his cheek; gasping as my fingers came in contact with his smooth skin. I had almost expected him to vanish like a wisp of smoke. My lips parted and I sucked in my breath, “You are real.”“I am sorry, Melinda.” He bit his lip and lowered his gaze, “I am here to apologise to you, Melinda….” His eyes flashed with regret and guilt. “I know that I crossed the line that day. I don’t know what came over me…”His voice choked with emotions, and he lo

KEITH’S POV “Do you blame me for not telling Melinda anything, Mrs Spencer?” I asked with a slightly guilty expression; disconnecting the call. “Of course not!” Her lips curled into a smile. “I am so glad that you didn’t tell her anything. She already has too much on her plate without having to worry about this old hag.” Though she was trying to sound cheerful, it was hard to miss the tint of sadness in her voice.Melinda was the only family she had. So, it was natural for her to be upset. Drawing in a deep breath, I tried to explain, “If Melinda had found out that you were in a coma, it would have added to her worries. She might even have insisted on coming here. That would have put her in danger. That is why….”“You don’t have to explain so much, Keith…” She cut me off before I could finish speaking. “I know you did everything for Melinda and your unborn child.”She reached over and took my hand, clasping it firmly. “Melinda is lucky to have found a mate like you, Keith.

Melinda’s POV “Is it hurting again?” Kramen said in a concerned voice as I groaned, holding my abdomen. My eyebrows drew together, and I gasped in a breathless voice. “It is way worse than before, Kramen.” My fingers dug into my stomach as the piercing sensation intensified. “Please do something.” “Give me a moment, I will get the hot-water bag, quickly.” He said in a panicked voice as he rushed out of the room. Pulling myself into a fetal position, I wrapped my arms around my knees, but it did nothing to ease the stabbing sensation that was searing through my abdomen. By the time Kramen returned, I was whimpering like a wounded animal. He got onto the bed behind me and gathered me in his arms; pulling me into his lap. Resting my head and back against his broad chest, he placed the hot-water bag against my abdomen and held it there. “The heat should give you some relief.” “A bit lower….” I gritted out, trying my best to hold in my scream. The ache was worsening with every passing

Melinda’s POV Aster fussed about me cleaning up the blood, changing my clothes, taking my pulse while I stayed unmoving like a corpse. My baby, our baby was gone. I didn’t even get to hold him in my hands… I couldn’t even see him once. He was gone as if he had never existed.A strange numbness had come over me; as if someone had sucked the life out of me; leaving behind an empty hollow shell.“How are you feeling now, Melinda?” Aster asked in a concerned voice, pressing her hand to my forehead. “Why didn’t you call me earlier?” Her voice held equal parts of grief and regret. “If I had reached you a bit earlier, I could at least try….” Her voice got choked and her movements froze.“Why didn’t I come for an extra visit yesterday?” She tore her hair in frustration. “When you didn’t call me for an entire week, I thought that the symptoms had subsided. If only I knew…”Wait! What rubbish was she spewing? Kramen had been reporting her every day with my worsening symptoms. The shock of her

Keith’s POV“You are quite something, aren’t you? Keith.” Houston taunted as I walked into the hall. “You even dared to barge into my council meeting; that too alone.” His eyes lit up on seeing Veronika. “No, wait, you are not alone. Who is this beauty?”Rubbing his chin thoughtfully, he continued, “If you are here to beg me for mercy, I might consider giving you a small position in my pack.” Tossing his head in a proud gesture, he smirked, his lustful gaze raking over Veronika. “After all, you have brought a generous gift for me.”“Houston!” I roared, lunging towards him in rage. I would have literally ripped his throat out if Veronika hadn’t blocked my way. Cupping my face, she forced me to look at her, urging me wordlessly, “Keith, don’t act rashly.”Closing my eyes, I took deep breaths, forcing myself to ease my jaws and clam my

Keith’s POV “What in the fucking world is going on?” I exclaimed as I grabbed Veronika’s arm and pulled her just in time to avoid a zipping arrow from hitting her.Thundering footsteps resounded in the hall as a group of about a hundred guards armed with guns and bowstrings rushed inside. They spread out quickly and formed a tight circle around me and Veronika.I pulled Veronika behind me in a protective gesture and looked around; my mind reeling with ideas and strategies to get out of here. My eyebrows furrowed seeing the familiar weapons in the hands of the guards. “You don’t seem to be the guards from the Moonmist Pack… Who are you?”They didn’t reply to my question. However, the guards in front of me stepped to their side, making a narrow path. A few moments later, three men marched into view.My heart skipped a beat and my eyes widened in shock seeing when I r

Melinda’s POV “Melinda?” Kramen’s voice sounded as he walked into the study. “What are you doing here like this?” He crouched beside me and placed his hand on my shoulder, “I couldn’t find Aster at her clinic. So, I went and called Laura instead. She is waiting in the bedroom to examine you.”“You are finally here.” My lips curled into a wry smile as I raised my head to look at him with a tear-stained face. “I was waiting to congratulate you….”“Congratulate me?” His eyes flashed with concern, making the sting in my heart dig deeper. “Are you okay, Melinda… You look so pale and the way you are talking…” He pressed his palm against my forehead. “You don’t seem to have a temperature….”A long, suffering sigh left my lips. All this care, preparing meals for me, treating me with so much affection

KEITH’S POV “I knew I made the right choice.” Alpha Alexander stated, placing his hand on my shoulder. Startled, I raised my head and looked at him, my eyebrows set in a deep frown.“You have passed all my tests, Keith.” Holding my shoulders in a firm grip, he helped me to my feet. “You are clever, steadfast, loyal and a brilliant strategist.” I gaped at him with a bewildered expression as he continued, “What is more, you love Melinda with all your heart. You are willing to sacrifice everything for her happiness.” His lips curled in a bright smile. “No one in this world can match up to you.”“You mean to say, this entire thing was a part of some damn test?” I gasped, shaking my head in disbelief. “I don’t understand. Why in the fucking world would you go to such lengths to test me?”“I will explain everything in due time, but for now, let us get over with the formalities.” He said as he led me to the chair placed at a higher elevation than the rest. Making me sit on the chair, he si
