Alone with Donna in the dimly lit room, my mind raced with desperation. I knew I had to find a way to stop my deranged uncle and save my children before it was too late. The pain in my thigh and arm was a constant reminder of the threat I faced, but I refused to give in to despair.I decided to speak to Donna once more, hoping that I could somehow appeal to her greed or sense of self-preservation. As I began to speak, my voice was laced with urgency, "Donna, please, I'll give you anything you want. Money, power, anything. Just help me save my kids."Donna turned to me with a cold expression, her eyes devoid of any sympathy. "You think I'm that easily bought, Lin? You and your family treated me like trash, and now you expect me to help you? Not a chance in hell. You very clearly knew all these years what exactly it was I wanted and yet you just led me on, only to drop me for that whore Meghan."My heart sank, realizing that Donna was too deeply entrenched in her own self-made bitternes

Vincent stepped into the chamber minutes later, a greasy smile on his lips. I barely caught Meghan's mother whisper something along the lines of: "I am way too old for this shit"He focused on Meghan's mother, disregarding my presence in the room as though he had expected it. He went to the woman and they both began to speak in hushed whispers.My heart pounded in my chest as I lay there, paralyzed and helpless once again. I strained my ears to catch every word of the heated argument between the witch, Meghan's mother, and my uncle Vincent. I didn't need to, as it turned out. Their voices were soon echoing through the chamber, filled with tension and desperation."I'm telling you, Vincent, we don't need the children anymore," Meghan's mother insisted. "We can use Lin as the sacrifice instead. He's the Alpha, and his blood will grant us even greater power."Vincent's scarred face contorted into a sneer. "The twins are powerful vessels," he growled, his voice low and menacing. "I won't

I shifted quickly into my wolf form, a surge of power and adrenaline coursed through my veins, fueling my determination to protect my children at all costs. My bruised and battered body from the previous encounters with my uncle made me feel weaker than I had ever felt before, and I struggled to match the strength of Vincent's lycan form.With a fierce growl, I lunged at my uncle wolf, its disfigured form not stopping it from snapping and clawing at me. I knew better than to allow my neck get caught under his canine as we fought for supremacy.Vincent's wolf was larger and more muscular, and he used his size advantage to overpower me, landing vicious stab with his sharp claws and snapping jaws. I tried to evade the attacks, but I was slower and less agile due to my injuries, and each strike sent waves of pain through my body.As the fight continued, my vision blurred with pain and exhaustion. I could feel my energy draining with every passing moment, and my hope of winning this fight

Meghan's POV.It’s been a month since I got discharged from the pack’s clinic and things were starting to return back to normal again. I have my kids with me and I was lying next to the man who has proven himself over and over again that he was exactly the man he says he was.After all we went through with Zack and that horrible man that turned out to be his uncle, Lin has been super protective about I and the kids, never letting us out of his sight without the lingering presence of a guard.Rachel has become my shadow as far as I know and I can’t even dare to complain, not with how much she had helped cared for mw and the kids. My mother had practically disappeared into thin air even though sometimes I see her making hasty appearances in my dreams with a sham of apology after trying to kill my mate and kids.I heard Lin muttered in his asleep and caress his arms soothingly before I felt him release with his chest rising and falling steadily. I couldn’t sleep, not with the nagging voi

After the ceremony, I was only able to pack very little things, mainly my make up and some lingerie Rachel had gotten for me at the last minute.While Leon and Rachel promised to watch over our kids and pack while we are away, I was still worried but Lin was certain everything will turn out great under their care.Lin had made reservation for us to spend our honeymoon away in Hawaii. I was filled with dread and anticipation as we drove through the beautiful island, the sky was fairly warm by this time of the year.Clear blue cloudless sky with the sun shinning brightly on my face as I leaned back against the headrest of my seat. The air smells of coconut with a hint of Jasmine.My heart swells with so much love as I gaze at Lin's face. He looked especially handsome today with the wind blowing his hair. As though he could feel my gaze on him, he turned to smile at me, his eyes glistering as he grab my hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.“We are almost there, love”I nodded, returning hi
