Cynthia Dion:Ever since we have welcomed Zeon into our lives again, he was acting super weird. He would not talk too much to anyone and keep it to himself for most parts of it. He was also very silent whenever it came to Maleeka wishing a baby shower. Atticus and I have decided to throw the baby shower for Maleeka ourselves since Zeon wasn't expressing too much excitement."Can I speak to you for a moment?" I saw Maleeka strolling in the garden and approached her. Her mood has been pretty better except for worrying about Zeon. He didn’t seem to find pleasure in anything, nothing intrigued him."Sure," she stopped in her steps and passed me a weak smile. We had been through a lot and finally she was talking to me again."So, Atticus and I have been thinking about arranging a baby shower and gender reveal party for you," I told her about the discussions Atticus and I had been having regarding the baby shower. She deserved this after losing her baby so many times."Really? That's so swe

Cynthia Dion:I have been super excited about the party I have planned. Maleeka was going to be very happy. The very day we arranged the party, Maleeka decided to go and grab the surprise popsicles with the baby gender surprise.I asked her if she wanted me to come with her, but Zeon didn’t like me around her. Atticus and I had decided not to piss off Zeon for now.Ever since I found out about my status, I was also very excited to start working on my fallen pack and make it grow. Once Maleeka gives birth, we will see how he can escape us. The moment Maleeka has a baby in her arms, she will not care about anyone in the world but about her baby."You look great," Atticus wrapped his arms around me from the back. I was getting ready for the gender reveal party, which was in a few hours. I have worn a white dress that could reach only to the midsection of my thighs, but I could tell it was making Atticus hard."Thank you," I mumbled, feeling him plant a kiss or two over my shoulder."So!"

Cynthia Dion:She hadn't spoken to anyone and stayed in her room after learning about my pregnancy news. Atticus tried to talk to her but returned upset."Are you alright?" I sat down with Atticus after he came back from his sister's room."I don't know--I don't know how to cheer her up, Cynthia," Atticus uttered, taking deep breaths and trying to shield his eyes from me."I think we should take a decisive step now," I mumbled as I straightened my back and gripped my phone tightly."I wish we had taken action when we had the chance. Now, my sister is completely shattered," he hid his face in his hands, but I grabbed his wrist and made him uncover his face."Atticus! It's crucial now. I know if we had already apprehended him, he would be behind bars, and Maleeka would have had to eventually let go. Look at what happened! Even when we had the opportunity, she couldn't survive the unfortunate event," I was annoyed by the fact that Maleeka was so deeply in love with Zeon that she allowed

Years Ago:Author’s POV:He rushed through the crowd to reach school on time. Punctuality was becoming nearly impossible, almost every day now.As a Beta, soon to be Royal, the pack had high expectations for him. Zeon Holt, an orphan, didn’t stand a chance of becoming the Royal Beta until he learned to fight and had already defeated the other betas. At this moment, he considered himself more deserving, but nobody knew what would happen when little Atticus became the Alpha King and selected somebody else.That didn’t bother Zeon at all. He was only 16, and there were barely a few things on his mind except completing his education with a good score. He reached the school and stopped near the main gate to catch his breath when he heard a voice from beside him that stole his attention.Somebody was sniffling away their tears very softly, as if they were trying to be sneaky. Zeon straightened his back and turned to the side to see a girl squatting down and collecting her books from the gro

Author’s POV:It wasn't easy for Eva to hide the mate bond and her feelings for Zeon, especially with Maleeka, the mean girl, clinging to him all the time."Sure! Who else is coming?" Zeon didn’t want to be alone with Maleeka at home. He felt it would be unfair to Eva that he was spending time with his girl best friend alone."Millie and others," Maleeka stated, and Zeon nodded his head.Later that evening, everybody gathered at Maleeka’s huge mansion, where they usually partied and had fun since she was the richest among them. They had everything--food, games, and luxuries, though no alcohol.Zeon had walked out of the gathering, feeling like he couldn't stop thinking about Eva. His mind was elsewhere, and even Maleeka noticed it. He never looked so bored among them. Usually, he loved the attention and luxuries Maleeka would provide, but something had changed in him now.He kept staring at his selfie with Eva from their first date night. There was a smile on his lips while staring at
