CHAPTER 21: TESSA’S BLANKIE
IslaThings have been, well, more stiff since my last talk with Axel as we prepared for the surgery which was already here, and the guilt I felt for telling him off ate me up from the inside.It gave me sleepless nights, as if he had not done more than worse in the past, and that annoyed me. Why was I, the victim of betrayal and mental abuse, guilty for telling the man who just wanted to know how I felt, off?And if that wasn't worse, the mutual agreement of peace we unconsciously had because of the kids seemed like it was cancelled, as Axel never said more than two words to me.Hey, without more than a stiff nod.Bye, with no nods at all.Even the kids noticed, but they had not said anything about it yet, but as their mother, I knew it was just a matter of time.And Dante, oh Dante.Words couldn't begin your describe how our relationship was. He still managed to call me everyday, but it wasn't the same as before. It felt stiff, unlike the times before he ruined it, and after that, he

CHAPTER 22: FLIRTING ALPHA?
IslaAxel's body felt like coals on my skin and he shivered, a clear sign that he was having a fever, just a day to the surgery.This was really bad.I had to do something.I tried to pull myself from Axel's hold, but he refused to let me go as he gripped onto my waist, his skin brushing mine scrambling my line of thoughts."Axel, you have to let me go. I need to help you with your fever." I tried to pry his grip off me, but it was impossible to pry."Axel I will be back,I just need to get you a wet blanket."He let out a breath of hair on my visible shoulder and I shuddered."Okay." He breathed out letting go of my shoulder.The clinic was miles away from here, and I would not be able to take Axel there myself, so I had to make sure I helped him until morning when he could go to the clinic.I got up on my feet, doing the first things first when someone had a fever.I quickly retrieved a cold, damp washcloth from the bathroom, and gently placed it on Axel's forehead. His skin was burn

CHAPTER 23: WHERE IS TESSA?
IslaThe healers commended me for the first aid I delivered to Axel, and I felt a bit of pride as they said because of my help, Axel was going to get better quickly, but we were not sure if it would be in time for the surgery, which was tomorrow.Axel offered to do the surgery despite knowing survival for him might be slim because of his fever, but still, he didn't want to jeopardise the health of our baby girl any longer, and my heart swelled with a mix of emotions I wasn't ready to unpack, at least not until I knew what exactly was the way forward.The preparations for the surgery were in full force, and I was mentally preparing myself not to break down during the surgery and be strong for my baby girl.The healer administered a drug that was sure to give Tessa energy, which made Tessa drowsy. It was counterproductive, but the healer promised it was going to show during the surgery.The healers also advised that it would be better to have the surgery tonight. I vehemently refused b

CHAPTER 24: FAILED MISSION
LanaSleep was a luxury I couldn't afford. Night was the time I was tormented the most. The threats were getting worse than anything I had ever seen before and they weren't just empty threats.I learned the hard way.The evil In the actions were more than I thought Isla was capable of.Turns out I was right, because as I ran with Isla junior in my arms as fast as I could without waking her up, I knew there was no way in hell Isla would want me to kidnap her child.This was greater than anything I had ever witnessed. I shivered as I recalled yesterday, when I had decided that I had enough of the threats and the impossible missions. I packed my things, attempting to leave the pack for good, I was no one's dog.My dreams to be Luna were long dead. My life was on the line. If I stayed just one more day in the pack.But my hopes were trashed as I was ambushed on the way.No one could hear my screams for help as I was dragged in the woods, I thought that was it. I was going to die all becau

CHAPTER 25: ANYTHING FOR FAMILY
AxelMy heart rang in my head as Isla ran in, tears in her eyes as she told me Tessa had been taken.Rage clouded my vision, and I ripped myself off the bed. I could barely think of anything apart from ripping whoever took my daughter apart.My world came crashing down when I saw the nanny who was supposed to be watching her almost dead due to consumption of too many sleeping pills. She was drugged so she could be easily disposed of.The person who did this was definitely someone who knew the ins and out of this pack and the schedule of our surgery plans.I assigned a couple of guards to question the healers. They were definitely involved in the disappearance of my daughter.It could also be the last person who made them change the DNA test results. Could it really be the person in my mind?In that case, I might be too late."Spread out into every part of this pack! Houses, stores, anywhere that isn't locked and that is locked!" I barked at a large part of the guards. They all went to

CHAPTER 26: LOSING BOTH
IslaAxel laid on the bed beside Tessa, and the last thing I saw before I was ushered out of the room was the slight twitch of his fingers."We would do everything we can to make sure everything goes well ma'am." One of the healers helped me to the reception where Tristan sat with Cindy, both looking solem, especially Tristan.His glassy eyes met mine as soon as I walked in, his legs carrying him as fast as they could until he jumped into my arms, his little arms gripping onto me like I was his life line. I held him tightly, and for some minutes we just stayed in that position, while I tried to to tear up again in his presence.Cindy offered me a warm smile from where she was seated, but I wasn't able to return it. I wasn't exactly feeling warm.Tristan pulled away a bit to look me in the eye, a lone tear falling from his eye. "Is Tessa going to be okay mummy? I don't want her to leave me behind."I held Tristan close, wiping away his tears with my thumb. "We're going to hope for the

CHAPTER 27: A FIGHT FOR LIFE
IslaA little hand tugged on mine, causing my eyes to flutter open. Light flooded into my senses, compounding to the headache already throbbing at the side of my temple."Mummy," a familiar voice called, but I was still in the interval of consciousness and unconsciousness."Mummy, " the voice called again, more urgently this time around.Tristan. Surgery, Tessa, Axel.As the memories poured in, my eyes widened, and I sat up straight so fast, I almost fell unconscious because of the speed."Careful Isla." Cindy's soft voice reached me, and her hands held me up.Tristan sat at the side of my bed, watching me expectantly. We were now in a room in the clinic, the last thing I remembered was the healer saying…"So it wasn't a dream?" I whispered, my heart aching as I studied both their faces.Cindy gave a warm smile. "You didn't wait for the healer to finish, Isla.""Tessa is awake!" Tristan beamed, and since I woke up from my unconscious state, I just noticed the smile on his face.My Tes

CHAPTER 28: THE KIDS AND THEIR FATHERS
IslaThe healers said both Axel and Tessa would need monitoring for a few days. Axel had Internal bleeding, but survived despite the odds, bit he was weak, terribly so.He was going to need help to do basic tasks. And with the unstable security in the pack, I was the only one trusted to care for him.Yes, yes, Axel is the person I'm most grateful for in the world as it is, but that didn't mean I am happy to care for him.Things were weird between us, and after he woke up miraculously and I registered my hold in his hand, things were back to being incredibly awkward as the healers flocked around him, while his gaze met mine from time to time.Tessa and Tristan couldn't wait to see their dad. Although Tessa was weak, she could still get around with a wheelchair. Seeing my baby okay again, brought tears to my eyes.She couldn't understand why we were all fawning over her, the only thing that she wanted was to see her father, who the healers were still attending to.I was the only one all

CHAPTER 29: CHECKMATE

Beautiful but just as cold. If she was a weather, she would be that one day that rarely happens in the winter, where brutal hail rained just as it snowed. Even death dreaded her.

CHAPTER 30: FIANCÉ, NOT HUSBAND
Isla"Dante, listen–""You can't really tell me to listen, Isla. It's been a month. I miss my family." Dante's agitated voice came from the other side of the line as I stood in the lobby, trying to explain why plans changed and why we wouldn't be able to come as early as we planned.Funny how that was the major problem for him and .ot the fact that Axel risked his life for Tessa's or how Tessa almost didn't make it.Or how Tessa was kidnapped.No, the problem was us staying back just a little longer, to ensure the man who saved our baby girl was okay.That wasn't the only reason. Even the doctors need a few days to ensure they are no complications.But fiancé of the year doesn't want to see that.I doubt if— ah, no maybe its my lack of sleep and adrenaline causing me to think like this. Dante is a sweet person normally. He wasn't the selfish guy I was currently talking to."This feels so wrong. Are you even sure that man actually has issues from the treatment he did, or all that is a
