RICKY'S POV “Abort the baby?” Ricky stood by the window, trying to make sense of the situation. He never imagined in his life that he would become a father at this stage of his life. The thought of having a baby with Laura gave him mixed feelings. He didn't know whether to be happy or angry about it. What if the baby belongs to Rhett? Both of them are in a relationship, aren't they?He groaned at the thought of Rhett taking Laura away from him. He had to clarify things. He had to know if the baby belonged to him or to Rhett. Perhaps a DNA test?Ricky made up his mind to leave for the hospital the following morning before Laura aborts the baby. ******Ricky entered the lobby and had a talk with the nurse, who directed him to Laura's ward. On getting there, he was shocked to see Rhett there already, holding Laura's hand. He wanted to go in there and punch his teeth out, but he decided to control his anger and listen to their conversation instead.“I have to go back to Europe now. I
MELO'S POV“Tell me it's a dream Qwen" Melo cried, leaning on her best friend. “Unfortunately, it's not” Qwen replied.“The same fate has befallen us” she added and Melo sniffed.All these years of waiting for Ricky to finally make her his Luna, all these years of dedicating her life, her heart, and her body to him… He chose a slave over her.She was heartbroken, bitter, and resentful. She would never forgive Ricky or that slave for humiliating her in the way that they did. Drying her tears, she looked up at Qwen.“I will not fold my arms and let everything I have worked hard for just disappear into thin air like this” she stated, filled with rage and envy.“What do you want to do? You can't go against Ricky” Qwen said.“You can decide to sit back and watch your man marry some slut, but I won't do that. Ricky is not allowed to be with another woman as his Luna” Melo sounded sinister. She got up and strode to the mirror. She wiped off the tears in her eyes and grinned at her reflecti
LAURA'S POV “You look so ridiculous” Laura said as she continued to laugh at Ricky. Coffee was all over the place, and the coffee mug rested on Ricky's head. He felt embarrassed, he got up and dropped the mug on his desk.“This is so sticky” he said, using his fingers to sweep the dripping coffee off his forehead and flinging it away. He looked at Laura, who was still laughing and smiled. She looked beautiful, it was the first time he ever saw her laugh like that.“You can stop laughing now” he said, and she struggled to seize her laughter. Their eyes met and she blushed.“You should take a bath and wash all that off” she said, walking to the closet. She pulled out a bucket and a mop. She entered the bathroom, filled the bucket with water, and came out to mop up the coffee.“Thanks for helping me clean. I'll take a shower quickly” Ricky said and entered the bathroom. Laura stared at him until he disappeared into the bathroom. She wondered what had come over Ricky all of a sudden.He
RICKY'S POV“What strange man?” Ricky asked with a raised eyebrow, and Melo panicked. She was scared and angry at Gova for opening her mouth after she had sternly warned her to keep it shut.“I saw her two weeks ago, after you proposed to her. She went to meet a man at your old warehouse near the mall. She gave the man money to keep her secret, and she also slept with him” Gova revealed, giving everyone present a big shock.Ricky turned to Melo and glared at her.First, what secret was she hiding from him?Secondly, he couldn't believe he almost got married to a woman who sleeps around.“Gova, do you mind explaining yourself?” Ricky asked, trying to remain calm in the situation. Nobody said anything, they were waiting for Melo to explain herself.“Ricky, how could you even believe this Omega? She's just delusional because she's worried about her friend” Melo sounded scared, it was visible in her voice. She blinked at Qwen in a bid to ask for backup, but Qwen didn't want to get involve
THIRD-PERSON POV “What are you talking about?” Melo blinked at Ricky, who smirked at her. With his hands behind him, he walked over to her, and stood directly over her, peering into her soul, through her eyes. She felt her heart sink into the stomach as she struggled to keep eye contact with him.“You know exactly what I'm talking about” Ricky said in a husky voice. Everyone was surprised and couldn't wait to find out what was happening.“Ricky, what is all this embarrassment for? Why are you doing this? First you call off our marking ceremony, now you're belittling me in front of everyone!” Melo screamed, trying to act like she didn't know what Ricky was talking about.Ricky chuckled and passed his fingers through his hair.“So… Do you want to stand here and lie to my face? I hope you haven't forgotten who I am and what I can do to you” he paused and lowered his head to her face, making sure she felt his breath on her.“I won't hesitate to have my gammas strip you and torture you un
THIRD-PERSON POV “She's lost a lot of blood, I'm not sure if she will survive. But let's keep hoping” the doctor said and shook his head. Ricky nodded and huffed.He had to rush her to the hospital when he saw that she was still breathing. He went with Andy and Buster. Qwen was petrified at the news and cried bitterly. Ricky had to force her to stay at home after she had insisted on coming to the hospital with them.A few minutes later, the doctor came out and informed Ricky that Melo wanted to see him. He followed her immediately to Melo's ward.She wasn't in a good condition at all. With an oxygen mask over her nose and the monitor reading her heartbeat, it wasn't stable at all. The doctor left to give them some privacy.“Melo” he called, standing over her bed. She smiled weakly and reached out for his hand, with her shivering hand. Ricky took her hand and gave it a little squeeze.“Thank you” she whispered, taking a deep breath.“No, save your breath” he uttered, and she blinked w
LAURA'S POV"Good morning my lady" Laura opened her eyes only to see two Omegas standing at the foot of her bed, each holding a tray filled with different lotions, perfumes and what looked like clothes.She was surprised because that has never happened before. She wondered what they wanted."Good morning" she rubbed her eyes and sat up on the bed, still covered with a blanket."My lady, it's time for your bath" one of them, the blonde one said. She looked around the room and back at the Omegas. Were they referring to her? As 'my lady?' "Why?" She asked."The Lycan King ordered us to" the dark haired one replied with a smile.Laura was surprised. Why would Ricky ask them to give her a bath? What's the special treatment all about?"Um.. okay then" she answered and reluctantly got out of the bed.The ladies led her into the bathroom where they had already run a warm bath. She got rid of her clothes and climbed into the bathtub. The ladies poured in some of the scented oils into the wa
RICKY'S POV "Be mine".Laura stared at him endlessly, surprised by the words that just came out of him.He just asked her to be his! She didn't know what to answer to that. What about Rhett? He told her that he'd be back for her. She didn't want to break his heart, for a man that tortured her."I.. I.. um" she stuttered, freeing herself from his strong grip. "We should get going. To the mall" she said and left for the car. Ricky sighed and went after her. He promised to do everything he could, to prove to her that he had changed, that he loved her. He knew it wasn't going to be easy, since Laura was just as stubborn as him, but he wasn't going to give up. For once in his life, he would do something, for the sake of love."Ready?" He asked, igniting the car. Laura nodded and they drove off to the mall.Ricky was ready to pay for anything that Laura chose and she managed to pick out quite a lot of things. It was her first time there, and the excitement was too much.After shopping,
