Caliana's POVMy heart was hammering in my chest as I stared at the man I hated, oh so thought I'd hate. His gaze held many emotions but I couldn't decipher them all. Edward's eyes swayed my body and settled on my stomach and a pain squeezed my heart. I swallowed and looked next to him, I smiled at the girl next to him. She grinned when I opened my arms and she ran into them. It was the most beautiful and longest hug I've been in. I kissed her several times. "How are you so big already?" I chuckled as I put her down. "I missed you so much, mommy," She said and my heart warmed with adoration for her. I missed her little voice. Love had not yet noticed my belly and when she did, she gasped and touched it. "A baby!" She squealed, touching my stomach fondly and looking back at her father. Edward's eyes bore into me and I shuddered, my knees wobbled at the intensity of his gaze and I felt so many eyes on me. Wherever did they come from? "Caliana," Edward said after what seemed like an e
"Cali, are you alright?" Asked Ellis, troubled. I smiled a yes to him and I instructed Vince where to go. We went straight to the stray's mansion, it was secluded from the rest because I didn't want to meet anyone from the pack. I smiled when we reached the long driveway, it was just as we left it. Kareen and Olivia were at the entrance, wanting to see who came. The car stopped and I stepped out, their faces showed confusion as they glanced at each other and then at me."Lu-Luna," Kareen smiled awkwardly. Yep, Edward was telling me the truth. I smiled at the ladies and they approached, bowing their heads low. "How are you?" We exchanged pleasantries and asked me to enter the house...I called Ellis over and he rushed to me. We went straight to the kitchen where we sat when I came here. A girl of Ellis' age appeared and took him away while I talked to the ladies. "How did this happen so suddenly?" Olivia asked, surprised. "When last did you see me?" I asked, smiling. I didn't know if
Caliana's POVI have been staying here for three days now. Edward was true to his word of not letting me leave. Vince and Evelyn left to their dismay, leaving me here with Ellis. He was most delighted to spend more time with Love. Edward was still pursuing me and sending me flowers every day but nothing he did impressed or warmed my heart. I wasn't ready to be with him all this was still fresh in my heart. I kept feeling like I needed to do something important, however, I didn't know what but I knew I'd feel better once I did. The door opened and Edward walked in with a breakfast tray in his hands. "Good morning," He greeted cheerily but I didn't smile back at him. "Hungry?" He asked, putting the food on the glass coffee table. He made the breakfast himself, I would know the shape of those pancakes anywhere. I was starving since I didn't go down for breakfast and ate early last night. I sat on the couch and slowly ate my food under his watchful gaze. I ate half of the food on the
Caliana's POVFive to six hours later the cry of a baby echoed throughout the room and I slanted back into bed. I was exhausted."Congratulations, Alpha, Luna, it's a healthy baby boy," The doctor announced with a smile. I smiled too, looking at Edward's face, it was priceless and like me, his heart was already full of love for our son.The doctor brought the baby to me and I kissed his perfect little face before laying him on my chest."He's perfect," Edward whispered. Indeed my baby was perfect. He caressed my cheek and stared deeply into my eyes,"Thank you for this, Caliana Meyers," He said and kissed my forehead."You're welcome, Edward Chasia," He took the baby and kissed him too before the nurse came to get him."Do you have a name?" The doctor asked and I glanced at Edward, we didn't discuss it but he mentioned once long ago a name he'd named his first son but he didn't speak. He was waiting for me to name the baby. His first male son, usually it's their fathers who do it,"Aer
Caliana's POV Five good years of happiness, love, and passion but above all, five years of euphoria with my family and friends. Today is Aerys fifth birthday and all his little friends and cousins are here. The king and Queen of Lycans are here too, still can't keep their hands off each other. "Hey!" Queen Anaiah smiled at me as she walked into the kitchen, and all the staff bowed low to her. "Do you need help, Cali?" She asked. "We are done here... Let's take these to the buffet table," I said, handing her a bowl and I carried the other. We placed them on the table and turned to the men who were drinking while barbecuing. Michael joined us too since his son is Aerys' friend as well. "Where's Love?" Anaiah asked. "She went to her grandmother's place after camp," I informed her. Dean was supposed to bring her today but something came up so she's coming tomorrow. Anaiah glanced down at my stomach and I eyed her questioningly. She smiled and caressed her belly fondly. "No way, rea
MarcusI was staring at the priestess as she tended to my injury, my inner Lycan would have healed it but he liked the way she was treating it."Marcus, what were you doing in these areas again, you know it's not your territory, right?" She frowned in a way that made her so cute and I purred. I FUCKING purred. I was embarrassed. Selena laughed and again, the sound of her laughter made my heart flutter with unfamiliar feelings. It had been two years since I saw her last at my pack when she came to help out with my brother's issue. I recently ran into her in the city and ever since that day, my inner Lycan has been wanting to see her. Selena was still scrutinizing me, waiting for an answer. "Um, I was hunting and I just found myself here," I came up with the dumbest excuse. I was watching her practice with her swords and when she sensed me, she lost her focus and grazed my leg. "You are very good with these," I said, getting to my feet and almost stumbled but she caught me, our eyes l
Marcus I couldn't stand Halle's words of love any longer. Shifting into my Lycan form and running through the forest. My Lycan howled to the sky before continuing the run and by the time we came back, I was feeling slightly better. I stood in the garden, watching my brother and his mate. Caliana was sitting on his lap comfortably while they talked lovingly and drank wine. Those two have been through a lot of shit but they pulled through stronger and are happier than ever. Caliana is the kindest person and the best mother I know. I watched them play a while longer on the veranda and it was my two-year-old nephew, Aerys who saw me. "Uncle Marcus!" He shouted, running on his little legs to the big Lycan. He looked so tiny so I got on my belly and licked his face, he giggled, liking that. He tried to climb on my back as he liked but the attempts were futile. He got on my back after too many failed attempts. "Hiyaaa!" He shouted, kicking my side like I was a horse and I started to walk.
MarcusParting with Selena felt like it was the end of a beautiful relationship I'd developed but I didn't complain, after all, if we love someone we set them free, and let them be happy. I willed myself to not go to her. I distracted myself with so much work. Halle had been trying her advances toward me but I rejected her, I couldn't be with her. That's how much I'd fallen for the priestess. After work, my cousin, Garret and I went to a club. Soon, Marcos joined us and with him came many ladies, I couldn't even stand them touching me at this moment. "You need to lighten up now, I get it, the witch was hot but as you said, you can't be together," Marcos said, he seemed to be enjoying himself and I wish I could as well but my heart was still in pain. "Here," Garret gave me a shot. I took it and forced myself to laugh and enjoy with them, my fingers casually touching the neck chain around my neck. After finishing my evening training, I was watching the moon when I felt the urge to go
