Elena's POV.Life at greenwoods pack keeps getting better each day. I was treated with so much care and everyone contributed in any way they could to make sure that I remained healthy even when Darius was out for meetings. Over the short time I've stayed here, I could tell one unique thing about them, they cared for each other greatly, and that I cherished so much. It is something Crescent Star Pack clearly lacks, if they actually looked out for each other, I wouldn't be in this mess. A loud rumbling of my stomach snapped me back to reality. I was starving. It was late in the night and the chefs, including the rest of the house workers have retired for the night, I actually ate to a pulp before they left but being a pregnant woman involves getting hungry the next minute after you've eaten. Was this what my mother went through to give birth to me? I would have treated her with much more love than I ever did, if she was here. This is not a manageable journey. I slowly climbed down t
Elena's POV."Look who's growing a big tummy," Darius teased as he walked into my room, beaming all smiles. I pouted dramatically, rolling my eyes at him. "I'm offended." Despite how hard I tried to put a smile on my face, there was a tiny voice at the back of my head reminding me of how soon everything would be out, Darius would discover that the child I was carrying belonged to Alpha Killian; the man that he despised with everything; the man that he was planning his death with utmost tempo.What becomes of me when he discovers the truth? I couldn't stop thinking.What if the discovery turns him into a monster and he harms my child and I? The thoughts kept eating me up as each day flew by. I knew damn well that war was brewing. "Elena!" I quickly snapped out of my chain of thoughts as I felt him tap me on the shoulder."Are you okay? I've been talking but you weren't responding," he pouted. I quickly fixed a smile on my face, trying to cover up my miserable state. "Oh uhm, I'm o
Elena's POV. I paced to and fro the room, my heart beating hard in my chest. My fear intensified each second as the thought of Killian finding me and having me hanged ran through my head sending chills down my bones. I couldn't stop thinking, could it be that something worse happened that incurred more of his anger and now he's out for my life? Why would it be now that I found happiness again? As seconds ticked by, my heartbeat increased drastically, every footstep outside the room sent chills down my body, I couldn't take it anymore. My knees weakened completely making me collapse on the floor, my hands clutching onto my stomach. With trembling lips, I whimpered. "Moon deity, I do not want to die, please,""Do not let me lose my child,"With the last strength left in me, I crawled towards the bathroom, there I laid, breathing heavily until darkness washed over me.*I opened my eyes to find myself in the pack's clinic, I could feel a pair of strong hands wrap safely around mine
Elena's POV. "Do you really have to go?" I pouted as I walked with him out of the chambers, as we approached his warriors.He had gotten a message last night from a nearby pack pleading for his presence in a meeting and I haven't stopped groaning since then.Darius has been my strongest companion over the past few months, he made sure I ate healthily, took long walks, rest a lot, and visited the clinic appropriately. He was the reason my child and I are in good condition. "C'mon babydoll, I'll be back before you know it," he tried to cheer me up."Promise?"He busted into laughter, shaking his head amusedly. "I promise," I did a little jump in happiness. "Now, in turn, you have to promise to eat all the fruits I dropped off for you before I return," he said."I will.""Good girl." He reached out to stroke my cheeks gently. "Helen will be coming over to keep you company, are you okay with that?"One charming thing about Darius, he will always ask for my permission whenever he's ma
Elena please, for the sake of your child and your life as well, I need you to push!" She screamed."I'm trying Helen, I can't do more than this," I cried.I could see the sadness in her eyes, she was giving up, and so was I. I never expected things to turn out this way, I had prayed fervently for easy delivery. "Elena please..." She was beginning to whimper now, tears welling up in her eyes.I felt my breath fade with each passing second. Suddenly, the door flew wide open and Darius ran in.My eyes snapped open as a sudden rush of energy surged through me."Elena!" He screamed rushing towards me."Darius? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in a meeting?" I breathed heavily."I suddenly had a bad feeling and I ran home immediately, the house workers informed me that you were brought here," he held onto my hands tightly. "What's going on?" He turned towards Helen and asked. "She's in labor, but she doesn't seem to have enough power to push for the baby to come out."
Killian's POV.It's been a few months since Aria claimed to be pregnant for me. And she has moved into the house as well. That didn't in any way imply that I chose her as my second chance mate or mark her as my Luna either.I allowed her move in so that she and the child would be taken care of, and after that, a place would be prepared, where she and the child would live far away from me. And thank goodness, her delivery date is close by.I had no plans of getting married to her, it is no concern of mine if she doesn't find a mate for her lifetime due to her condition, she never thought of that while sneaking into my bed, did she?Rumors were already flying around but I paid deaf ears to them, I am the Alpha, and no one dictates decisions for me. There's only one mate for me and that is Elena, and since she's gone, no one has the right to that. I was determined to stay mateless till the day I take my last breath. It was my punishment for what I did to her.My hatred for Aria grew wi
Killian's POV.I walked back to the training ground, anger simmering inside me.I couldn't exactly understand how I felt, but my whole body was literally trembling. I wasn't ready for this, not with Aria. How do I have a child with a woman that I despise so much? How do I father a child that I absolutely do not want? "Alpha!" I quickly turned around as I heard someone call. It was one of my guards."Aria has put to bed, Alpha," my heart skipped as his words hit me hard.The baby has arrived? What do I do now? How do I react? What am I supposed to do next?I was totally confused. This would have been a lot easier if it was Elena. "Alpha?" the guard's voice snapped me out of my trance. He was still standing and watching my confused state."It's alright, you can go ahead, I'll be at the clinic shortly," I stuttered. He bowed slightly and left. I exhaled a deep breath and headed towards the clinic, every step I took, my heartbeat increased rapidly. I stood outside the door, breath
Elena's POV."Hero, you are letting your sister take the lead purposely!" I yelled from where I sat, watching them play so lovingly. Hero, who has seen his sister's countenance change as he continued winning her, now purposely fell back and let her take the lead. He loved her that much.I can't believe it's been two years already, watching them all grown now brought tears to my eyes. Now, I barely remember the pain from my terrible past because my beautiful set of twins has a way of wiping those ugly memories away, the sight of them alone filled my heart with so much joy. How time really flies. Darius and I had jointly come up with their names. Hero and Athena. Hero loves his sister so much, that he will protect her with everything and the same goes with Athena. That was possible because they were raised in love and compassion and it gladdened my heart to see them grow with the morals that Darius and I instilled in them.Darius has been the absolute best, he provided the kids with e
