Wilder woke up, the smell of antiseptic making his stomach burn and the white ceiling making his eyes turn. He stood up immediately and began removing the drip attached to his hand. The nurse rushed to him and he glared at her, making her step back. “Wilder, you…” Doctor Mary panicked hastily but he had removed it and was heading to Luna Gloria’s room. He rushed inside to see the maids trying to feed his mother who didn’t want to accept it and he pushed her aside, grabbing the flask from her hand. “Mom, please you need to eat so you can take your medications and live healthily” He pleaded and Gloria just smiled with her eyes shining. “I can’t Wilder, we both know the truth. There’s no point in hiding it. I’m only happy that I got to meet Olivia before I passed on. You’re in safe hands, please treat her well” Gloria replied and Wilder shook his head with tears streaming down his face. “No! Mom… You don’t have to die, wouldn’t it be nice to see me get married to her and see our gran
Wilder spent the evening with Gloria, he was smiling not because he was happy but because he didn’t want her to see him mourning. He wanted her last moment to be filled with smiles and happiness. It was sunset already and they had to return home. Wilder didn’t feel like leaving, he wished they could live there forever and forget about the world but Gloria urged him to pack up things. With his hand intertwined with hers, they both walked towards the car, silence descending as both got sucked into their thoughts. Wilder opened the car and Gloria got in, she placed his head on her lap. She began brushing his hair softly while singing the lullaby he loved when he was a kid. Tears were streaming down Wilder’s cheek as he closed his eyes and listened to her calm voice. She was the only woman he had genuinely before getting his mate. They arrived at the pack house and Wilder helped Gloria get out of the car. Ella rushed forward, trying to grab Gloria’s second hand but Gloria ignored her
Wilder stepped out, heading to his room. He pulled his shirt immediately, tossing it aside as he grabbed a lighter and lit up a cigarette while staring at the window. “You don’t have to worry about her too much. She’s a Luna, a very strong one at that, she has been scaling through tall these years and I’m sure she will again. You don’t have to worry” Ella muttered as she wrapped her hands around his waist, pressing her head on his back and he removed her hand gently, feeling very uncomfortable with her scent and touch. Her gaze, her sound and everything about her just didn’t feel right. “You don't understand Ella, you don’t have to worry, I’ll get someone to drop you off tomorrow. Next time, you shouldn’t come uninvited” Wilder moved back slightly and Ella shook her head, pressing forward. “No! You need someone to lean on at a time like this, I’m your friend Wilder and you can tell me anything. I can help you at a time like you… You really need someone by your side” Ella replied, he
“Olivia! Olivia!” Ella screamed, panicking at first and some maids rushed to her side, startled to see Olivia on the floor. They also hit and pinched Olivia, trying not to conclude but they began to grow nervous with each passing minute. “Is… is she dead?” Ella demanded and the maids nodded, shock coursing through their bodies. Jeremy saw the small gathering and rushed to their midst. He placed his head on Olivia’s chest and listened to her heartbeat. “She’s not dead” He muttered and Ella shook her head. “I think she is. I’ve slapped her several times and she isn’t moving, you should try hitting her” Ella suggested and Jeremy nodded, pinching her gently at first. He hit her when he saw no reaction and surprise flashed in his eyes as he tried to understand what was happening. How could a dead person still be breathing? “I… I’m confused” “So am I. I don’t think she’s alive, her breathing isn’t visible except if you listen carefully… I think she’s dead” Ella announced and Jeremy sigh
“We shouldn’t have saved her! Why did you!” Logan whispered heatedly and Leo just sighed. “There was no way I could have left her. We had to save her, I’m just doing a good deed and when she’s awake she can go her way” Leo replied and Logan sighed, pacing around. “She’s been unconscious throughout the night. Would she ever wake up? Her feet are swollen, she looks sick. I do not want to be bothered with anything” Logan complained with an aloof look and Leo sighed. “Look man, we’re just helping a lost kitten. Logan stop acting this way, try to be considerate for once. What’s so bad about helping just a single soul in one year?” Leo demanded. “Everything is bad. First I detest ladies, second I hate ladies who are weak and pass out on the road, third I have a bad feeling about her” Logan replied and Leo almost burst into laughter. “Man, you're funny. We saw her at her weakest point doesn't mean she's weak. She might be stronger than we think, who knows whether she's some billionaire i
WILDER I gulped down whiskey directly from the bottle, cleaning my mouth with my palm. The burning sensation in my truth wasn’t enough. It was minimal compared to what was in my heart. I felt broken, my body isn't functioning well and Wilson? Well, I just shut him out. I was tired of him whining about his mother and mate. I was also passing through a lot and facing it independently was best. He was combating his tears and howling and I was doing mine with alcohol. The alcohol didn’t seem to be working but at least it made me pass out after I reached my limit. I felt like a complete failure. Why the hell was I living when I’ve lost every fucking right to be alive. I should jump down a cliff, hang myself, stab myself. I should do one fucking thing! I angrily threw the bottle at the door and heard a gasp that didn’t bother me anyway. Nobody deserves to live when my mate and mother are dead. “Wi… Wilder…” I heard Ella stutter and I raised my eyes, glancing at her with disdain befo
Olivia I opened my eyes and sat up, panting very hard as I remembered the nightmare of me in a hospital with a doctor telling me that I was pregnant. I was covered with sweat and I glanced around, my spirits dampening as I realized it was true. It wasn’t a nightmare, I was really pregnant. My life felt useless as I was without direction. How would I cope with a child in the human world? How would I even survive alone not to talk about with a child? I began sobbing as I used my hand to remove the drip syringe. I stared at the window and decided to end my life as I was completely hopeless. Who the father of the child was was unknown, whether I could survive in the human world without revealing my identity was unknown. My life was just a very big and terrible mess, a miracle wouldn’t help much. I began walking towards the window with tears streaming down my cheeks. I raised it a little, staring at the group which seemed further than it actually was. I pushed my head outside with h
“Guys! You need to come down or I’ll be late for my meeting!” Olivia yelled and a girl giggled. She rushed down with another little boy chasing after her. She had a small toy in her hand as she giggled and ran around in circles. Olivia sighed before she went towards them and stopped them. “I know you wish to play but it’s too early and you’ve got school okay? You can have all the fun you want when you get back” Olivia suggested and they both nodded. “How unserious of them” A slightly taller version of the boy and girl walked down with his hair neatly combed back and his backpack slung over his shoulder. He looked so proper and mature that it brought tears to her eyes. Her little baby was all grown and he could do things himself. “Giovanni is all grown and wise. You’re neatly dressed and you even combed your hair, I’m so proud of you. If only I could say the same for you two” Olivia turned to Gerald and Ginny who giggled. Most times, whenever she was furious, she consoled herself
