I was still deep in thought when I was startled when Xander entered the room. I looked at his concerned face and couldn’t bear the thought that somebody else would give him the news of his life before me.I needed to do that on my own.He deserved that.Actually, Xander deserved a lot of things, but I could try to give him things that were under my control and he deserved to know that his mate was pregnant."I'm pregnant," I blurted out with a mix of excitement and uncertainty.His expression brightened the moment I blurted out the news.His eyes widened in joy, and he pulled me into a tight embrace. "That's wonderful news, Gracie, I'm so happy. You make me the happiest man in this world. Oh, I have said that before, I should try something different this time. But maybe another time, because right now I am way too happy."I smiled and then, after a moment, my expression shifted to one of concern. "But, Xan, with everything going on, I'm not sure if now is a good time to be pregnant. T
“A pun,” Daisy snickered and added, “That’s what you have become Reynolds ‘A Pun’.” Daisy taunted him while I signaled the guards to leave us alone.“Things would have been easy for you Grace, if you would have stayed within your limits. You only had one job and that was to satisfy male wolves' desires, it shouldn’t have mattered how many there were, you should have been able to satisfy them. As a Luna, you should have kept our elders' bed warm, but no you had to pursue power. You had to ruin everything.” Reynolds sneered as he struggled in his binds, desperate to get out of the confines.My nose flared with anger, how could he say this to me, I am the Alpha of this pack, not a pushover. I let out a heavy growl that shook the whole cell. His eyes widened with panic, and my golden eyes gleamed in the darkness of the cell. He tried to put forward a strong hold on his body, but his hands were trembling.But Daisy’s laughter echoed in the room, stopping me from teaching him a lesson.“The
“I hope I haven’t scared you. I should have asked you first before announcing that you are my Beta. I really am sorry, but you and Xander are the only people I truly trust.” I apologized to Daisy, who was walking by my side, clearly indifferent to my plea.“You don’t have to apologize for anything, G. This could be the next thing I am interested in, I could hone my skills on traitors like Reynolds and it’s not like I have something else to do. I am flying solo you know,” Daisy chuckled.I smiled at her, I loved her take on situations. She was never afraid of the situations, she had this confidence that speaks volumes. Despite being mocked by the world, she didn’t lose her light and fought every day to prove her worth.Leaving the dungeon and Daisy behind, I headed back to my office, Alpha Kai and Xander were waiting for me. The grim expressions on their faces told me that something serious had happened. I took a deep breath and tried to prepare myself for whatever news they were about
The news that Reynolds's trial was happening today was not shocking. This was what I intended to do but I didn’t know that all the elders would be there.And now when Xander just left makes me think that the timing is not coincidental. There was more to the story, the one I am eager to know.Daisy nodded at me and flashed a smile at Michael. She winked at him and his face reddened. I chuckled under my breath, leaving it at Daisy for making things fun.Daisy and I entered the council hall followed by Michael, and as soon as the elders laid their eyes on Daisy, a collective protest erupted.“A half Witch,”“A Demon spawn,”“A hybrid,”“Shameless,”“How could you,”Their voices rose in vehement opposition, their arguments echoing through the hall.“Never, never like this ever happened in centuries. No lower wolf or other species are allowed to enter the elder’s meeting hall. This has never happened before. You are challenging the authority over here,” A loud voice boomed in the meeting h
“I am so tired,” I grumbled under my breath as I was sitting in my office, overseeing the reports of the latest attacks on my territory. I was looking for clues and I desperately needed something to figure out the way to get out of this problem.Xander was out in the field working against the rogues, helping the troops and I was here worrying about him. I should have just left after him.I took a deep breath to relax but with a loud bang, my door was wrenched open. I was startled by the noise, surprise flickered on my face.“Daisy,” I cried out in relief. I was afraid of what was about to happen to me. Lately, my life has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. And I wasn’t enjoying it."Grace, don't forget about your appointment with the obstetrician today. It's important to ensure everything is going well with the baby." She sing songed as she helped me up to take me out to the pack doctor.“But what was the need for this sudden intrusion? I was moments away from a heart attack. Do y
Daisy’s POVThe room was filled with the smell of disinfectant, the heavy smell was preventing me from falling asleep. The constant sound of the beeping of the machine connected to Grace provided me a little comfort.Grace’s face was pale and for the past week, she has been lying unconscious on the hospital bed. I was so worried about her, my heart turned cold when I heard her desperate voice in my head and when I saw her lying on the floor, something broke inside me.I had never been scared like this before.These past few days had been agonizing, filled with uncertainty and despair. I couldn't bear to leave her side, and so I stayed, watching over Grace as if my presence alone could bring her back to consciousness.She was the only constant in my life and I loved her so much. She was my family and I was hers.The doctor informed me that if it wasn’t for her Alpha bloodline, she would have been dead, and for the first time I was thankful that Daniel was her father.I recounted the ev
Xander’s PovI was helping the troops against the rogue attack when Daisy called me to tell me about what happened to Grace. All my blood turned cold. A torrent of grief and anger surged through me, my vision turned red thinking about the consequences and I couldn’t let my mind drift toward that point when I knew Grace needed me.I wanted to tear down the whole Blood Moon pack, rage coursed through my veins and all I could hear was the deafening sound of my own growl. I knew going to Blood Moon Pack was a bad idea from the start.My wolf howled in rage, despair, and pain and I wasn’t in good condition. I needed to see her, wanted to feel her. She was my heart and I wasn't letting a mere poison take her away from me.“Hold on, Gracie, I am coming,” I growled and shifted to run toward the hospital. I wasn’t going to wait for a car to come and take me.If it wasn’t a war earlier, it was d*mn well now. Now it was personal. Lizzie just count your day and I will shred you into pieces along
Grace’s POVXander and Daisy entered the room and when his eyes landed on me, he rushed toward and took me in his warm embrace and apologized.I was startled by the sheer intensity of his voice, his voice was trembling, and I had never seen him like this.‘Xan,” I whispered and urged him to look at me.“You were hurt because I wasn’t there.” he said, guilt danced in his eyes and that broke my heart. My emotions choked my voice but before I could say anything Daisy interrupted.“It’s not your fault Xander, it’s mine. She entrusted me with the pack so it was my duty to look after everything. Protect the Alpha of the pack, but I failed. I failed the person who gave me the job because of my skills, I failed you, Grace.” Daisy said.Her every word was like a hammer to my heart. These two people were thinking that this was their fault. I couldn’t imagine if something would have happened to me, what they would have done.They would have driven themselves to death.Oh, goddess.“You guys are
