ChelseaThe next morning.I opened my eyes when I felt Dylan sit up, and found him checking himself and then looking around.I'd scattered empty wine bottles and wineglasses on the floor last night, so that I didn't have to explain anything if he asked. I must be a genius!“Morning, hunny.” I rolled towards Dylan's side and wrapped my arm around his waist.“Morning Chels. What did we do last night? Why am I having a sharp headache?” He asked, gripping his head.I pulled him back to bed and nuzzled on his chest.“What do you think could possibly happen between us, Dylan?” I asked rhetorically while my finger played with his chiseled chest.“W-We made love?” He asked with uncertainty.“Why do you sound surprised at that?” I asked, faking hurt in my voice.“N-No... I-I'm just confused. I remember nothing about last night,&rd
Chelsea The little girl looked up at Bert in confusion, as if she couldn't understand why she was not allowed to get close to her father. My jaw clenched. “Why the fuck did I have no idea that Dylan and Cherry had a child? And she is already seven years old?!” I whispered to myself. My insides were literally shaking in anger, but I needed to keep a cool facade. “Why didn't daddy answer me, Uncle Bert?” The little girl named Fern asked. “I have a daughter?” Dylan asked in disbelief. “You don't remember me, daddy? It's me, Fern, your little princess!” Fern stared back at Bert before he said anything. “Please take Fern upstairs, Maisy!” Bert called inside the room before a woman came over and took Fern away. I glanced at Dylan, who couldn't take his eyes off Fern when the child was dragged away from us, struggling. “Bert, is that little girl mine? She is my daughter...with Cherry? You sure this girl is not a bastard Cherry had with someone—” Bert could no longer stand
DylanI pulled the comforter on Fern's chest and kissed her forehead. She had fallen asleep crying after the truth slipped from Chelsea's lips earlier.I turned on the lampshade on her bed-side table and took one last glance before closing the door to her room.“Hi.” Chelsea greeted.I could hear the hint of nervousness in her voice.“How was Fern? I really didn't mean to hurt her. I'm sorry,” Chelsea said, sniffing for feeling guilty about what had happened.“It's okay. Cherry'll spend years in jail after convicted guilty. Fern would ask about her soon, and we'll have to tell her the truth eventually.” I opened my arm for Chelsea, and then pulled away from her, with a smile making its way to my lips.“Why are you looking at me that way, Dylan?” She asked in confusion.“I like your new lingerie. The red color is so alluring...” I mumbled in a deep, sexy v
CherryA week later at the hospital.I opened my eyes when slow, heavy footsteps sounded in my ward, only to find the poker face of the chief officer."Do you have to act in such a rush? Didn't the nurse tell you that I won't get discharged until late this afternoon?!" I spat at the thought of what had happened to me back in prison.“I'm not bringing you back to prison. Alpha Dylan dropped the charges against you.” She informed me coldly, tossing me my belongings.“He did?” I asked, totally surprised, “But why? I-I...mean what happened?”“Do I look like I have all the answers to your questions?” With that, the officer left.“Do you think Dylan finally got his memory back?" I asked my wolf with great expectations. "It could be, right? First he saved me from those thugs in prison, and now this?!”My feet took me out of the ward before I even knew it. I must go back to Lord Hills right now!“Taxi! Taxi!” I shouted at the top of my lungs, stomping my feet in annoyance as they all drove pa
Cherry Just as I was rushing out of the pack house, my nose picked up Fern's sweet scent at the gate. "A party tonight?" It was Fern! A weight was finally removed from my mind. "Yes! You look forward to it?" Pushing the gate open, I saw Fern chirpping with Bert as they walked towards the pack house. "Mo..." The smile on Fern's face froze the minute she saw me, and then she just walked past me, as if I was a total stranger. "Baby, it's me. I'm mommy..." My voice shook as I reached out for Fern, trying to take her into my arms. "No! Don't touch me!" Fern dodged my hands, leaving me heartbroken. "Fern! How could you say that to your mommy?" Berted was as shocked as me. "What happened?" Heather and Chris followed over to check on Dylan and me right at this moment. "M-Mommy Chelsea t-told me...that my daddy almost got killed by h-her..." Fern pointed at me, choking. Obviously, Chelsea was brainwashing my daughter. “That's not true, baby." Heather embraced Fern gently. "Your mom
BillThe night had deepened. It was way past my routine bed time.Yet here I was, wide awake, unable to take the maid shifter off my mind.Sipping the wine from the glass, I found myself smiling, reminiscing that special charm in her. I told that charm the minute my eyes landed on her shining eyes.Nuu-Chah seldom blessed her female she-wolves with that charm. But once she did, the lucky one would get special ability along with that charm.Breathing heavily, I tried to calm my wolf down. It had been this excited for long, and finally took control over me."I must get her!" Reaching out for my phone, I decided to give Dylan a call, making another offer that he wouldn't be able to say no to in exchange for that charming shifter.Just as I took up the phone, an unfamiliar number displayed on the screen.“Hi, is that Alpha Bill?”“It's me. Who's that calling?” My mind was still preoccupied with the shifter."You don't have to k
DylanLosing the last bit of sense, my wolf stormed into a thick forest, mumbling in anguish all along the way."How come I feel such huge pain when I'm supposed to be stronger after getting mated to my Luna?"YOUR WOLF LOST ITS TRUE MATE. Suddenly, Bill's words at the party sounded in my mind.“Could Bill be true? That Chelsea is not our true mate?” My wolf asked me.“That's ridiculous!” I snarled at it. "Chelsea saved my life!""That doesn't necessarily make her our mate. Believe it or not, I'm never myself when Chelsea's around.""Hey! Chelsea's willing to do whatever to protect..." I stopped when I recalled that vengeful stare she shot at Cherry at the party.It was understable that she was envious or hostile to Cherry. But vengeful? Wouldn't that be too much? If someone was supposed to be vengeful towards Cherry, wouldn't it be me?Was there something else that I missed?"Cherry! Go talk to Cherry." My wolf advised."Woul
Dylan“Dylan! I need you here. There's a commotion out here on the street. I can't handle it alone.” Bert sounded anxious.“Where is Chelsea?” My forehead knotted as the screams of angry shifters reached me via mind link.“I don't know. I can't find her.”“Try to calm them down. I'll be there right away.”Rants and shouts reached my ears before I even stepped foot on the territory of Lord Hills.“We're starving, waiting for your aid while here you do nothing but flaunt your wealth in your fancy suits and dresses!” Confronting the armed guards, a female shifter carrying a two-year-old baby in her arms shouted."Quiet! Every..." A mud landed on my chest before I barely caught my breath arriving at the scene."Dylan!" I heard Chelsea's voice and looked around for her, only to spot her hiding in a safe corner.“Take that man and kill him!” She then turned to shout at the guards before I even figured out where the mud came fr
