Raynaâs POV:Right after the surgery, I was taken inside where his lifeless body was lying on the bed. His chest was wrapped in bandages, and he was kept alive by all those beeping machines.I raised my hands and there was no itching or any hue there.âWhatâs the matter?â I whispered to myself.âMaâam,â a nurse spoke to me, âif you need anything then please press this button,â when she left the room, I sat on the edge of his bed instead of taking the nearby seat.âI donât need any switches. I want nothing but you,â I said to him, without knowing if he could hear me or not.âI donât have anyone in this world. My mother died. Father never thought of me as his own. My best friend broke up with me yesterdayâŚâ I held his hand gently, âLola was a nutcase. Liam and Grace do love me, but they are too little to understand me. All I have got is you⌠and this little life growing inside me.âI slowly laid his hand on my belly, âHere. Your child, Alexander. Our child. Just when it was time to spoi
Orionâs POV:âThe baby is safe,â the moment the doctor announced it, a loud cheer erupted in the hospital corridor. Till a few minutes back, everyone was concerned for Rayna and the babyâs health but now all of us were beaming with joy.âOrion,â I heard Nora behind me, âWhy is Mom not coming to visit Alexander? Donât you think she is behaving a lot weirdly, lately?âThe same question kept disturbing me for the past few days. Why was Mom not paying him any visit? She always took him as her son to the point that I felt jealous. And now when I had made peace with it, she had started acting strange.My security department had arrested several people from the palace, but our investigation faced a dead end.According to the guards who were on duty, only Mom was the one who visited Alexander so that meant only one thing.Whoever this murderer was, didnât use the main entrance.Nobody forced Mom to see Alexander in the hospital because with age she wasnât handling a few things quite well.We
Raynaâs POV:My eyes fluttered and I felt like I was waking up from a deep sleep. With a frown, I opened my eyes and found Alexanderâs face leaning on me.âWelcome back!â I felt his lips on my forehead. âAlexander!â I raised my hand to trail my fingers on his face, âYâŚyou ⌠you are alive!â He turned his face to kiss my palm, âVery much. Just get well soon, so that I can punish you for what you did,â He murmured and kissed my cheek.âPunish?â my hand quickly flew to my belly when saw tears in his eyes.âHe is safe, sunshine. Donât worry. He is my son and he made it.âHis image blurred when my eyes well up with tears, and he started wiping my face, âWhatever you did was quite risky, Rayna.ââI was fighting the Moon Goddess, Alex. Whatâs the use of these hands and the healing power when I canât bring you back.âHe leaned his cheek against my face, and I felt his tears falling on my face, âIf I tell you,â He spoke, âthat Iâm done with taking care of this kingdom and no more want this th
Raynaâs POV:âWhat is my wife thinking!â I gasped and then smiled when his arms wrapped around my waist kissing the nape of my neck.âI was missing my husband,â I leaned back my head to his chest, forgetting all my worries knowing full well he was there to take care of everything.I trusted him and was sure he would be a great father to our child.âHow is our son doing?â his hand slid under my top and I laughed hard when it settled on my bo*ob. âThe baby doesnât reside here, mister,â I gestured using my eyes towards his hand that was under my clothes. âUmm hmm. I know. His food is. I was just checking if there is enough to fill his tummy,â I felt his nose getting in my hair. âAhan! His food or your food?ââBoth!â he chuckled when felt my shoulders shaking with mirth.âYou keep saying his, him, he⌠what if itâs a daughter?ââLycans of royal lineage usually have sons as their firstborn,â he informed me huskily, âAnd we donât prefer ultrasounds too unless itâs an emergency.âIn werew
Zaraâs POV:(Trigger warning for physical abuse and rape, but not too graphic)There wasnât a moment I didnât miss my friend. As Omegas, all of us always had great respect for her. None of us could tell her that. She was always so strong-headed and knew how to stand and speak up for her rights. Nothing about her was odd. Do you know, why?Because she was the firstborn of the beta of the pack. As powerful and as strong-willed as a beta should be. Her father, her stepmom, his mates, Violet⌠all of them tried to take away something she deserved.And then didnât like it when she took a stand for herself and protested. Eric must have realized what a gem he lost.But the shitty-headed man didnât want to accept it with an open heart. Apparently, a man is someone who knows how to suppress a woman and finds it insulting to apologize for his mistakes.His ego is bigger than his di*ck.That day when Rayna went to take a shower because she was too excited about her upcoming date with King Alexan
(NOTE:Itâs a free chapter for my dearest readers as it was too short to post. Love you all!)Lolaâs POV:Sigh! I was back in the cell and was trying to decide if this time I should seduce the guards or the strong man who usually brought meals for me.This time I was chained but there was almost no physical abuse. Orion passed the order of my arrest because someone told him that I attempted to kill Alexander.And why would I do that? I love him!I kept screaming at the top of my lungs that I was innocent and thenâŚThen someone told me that Liam heard me talking to the witch.My own flesh and blood were the ones who spoke against me. When I kept doing all those evil things, nobody could even harm a hair on my body.But this time when I was really innocent, I was thrown into the dungeons. I didnât say a word after that. Trust me.The person who loves you most can give you the worst pain. In my case, it was Liam. Every bad thing I was doing to others was because of him.I wanted the thro
(Two years later)âYour Highness. There is a woman who wants to meet you,â I closed the book, I was reading in my library, and looked at the little bundle of joy sleeping peacefully in my arms.I mind linked the governess to come and get the baby and wait for me here. âKeep her here. No need to come out,â I instructed her after kissing the small forehead and went to the guest area. I knew who my visitor was.That was the reason I passed some special instructions to my servants.When I reached there, I found a red-colored, huge, georgette cloth hanging in the middle. The woman was sitting on the other side of the cloth wrapped in a black shawl hiding more than half of her face.The shawl belonged to only one woman.No servants or maids were accompanying her. She was not wearing any fancy gown but a simple cotton skirt with a mismatched blouse.I took my seat on this side and waited for her to speak. I had somewhat guessed that she would come to meet me one day.âAlexander⌠I⌠Iâm here
Rayna Bennettâs pov:I must have been fourteen when a witch once told me that whoever would be my mate, would worship the ground I would walk on.I guess she was right. Just look at me.I am all dressed up in a white gown, like a bride, waiting for my Luna ceremony that is about to take place just in a few minutes.Within a few minutes, I will be the Luna of this pack. The same pack who abused me, tortured me, and made fun of me. They still canât seem to believe that an omegaâŚA weak omega, like me, will be ruling them alongside her three mates. Yup.The Moon Goddess assigned me three matesâthe popular alpha triplets of my pack.Eric, Derek, and Cedric.In the past, my gorgeous mates used to join the crowd when I used to get tortured by the pack members. But not anymore.Just two weeks back, on my eighteenth birthday, I found that I was mated to not one, not two but three alpha male heirs of my pack. They seemed equally shocked when they found me staring at them in awe. After tha
