WINTER"Sit, honey. Look, I made your favorite, avocado toast."I looked down at the plate in front of me as Alaric forced me to sit at the table. This was a routine since the day I woke up to find him staring at me. He was rather sweet and caring, but no matter what he did, I couldn't remember him nor recall ever getting married."Don't worry. The doctor said you will remember once you are completely healed. You still have a nerve injury, but it's going to be just fine," Alaric had explained a few days ago.According to him, I was in a freak accident that should have taken my life. The wounds on my body had healed completely, but the one in my head was taking its time. He also told me not to beat up myself when I said that I didn't remember being married to him and that he needed to stay away from me.He did stay away from me. But after I saw all that he did to make me comfortable, I felt bad for being mean to him. To feel less guilty, I decided to have breakfast and dinner with him

SEVENSettling back in my house was tougher than I had imagined. Although I had yet to inform members of Blood Crest Pack about how they had been deceived for years, I knew I could only put it off for so long.There were two reasons why I couldn't do that; first, Winter was still missing. Second, I was yet to trace the real enemy. After that text from a strange number and the call I had taken on Kai's phone, I was so sure that the battle hadn't ended.I wanted to leave a drama-free life with Winter and our daughter. But I couldn't go about chasing some hidden enemy when she was out somewhere. The Moon Goddess knows how much I would pay to see Winter now and hold her.More so, I had run out of excuses to give Dawn. She and I were beginning to get pensive. Earlier tonight as I was lulling her to sleep, she asked me if Winter would never come back. It had taken me a great deal of effort to convince her that I would make sure Winter came home. How? I didn't know, but I was sparing no cost

BECKYLot's wife had nothing on me as I froze on the spot. What was happening? Was I seeing things now? Was all the crying I did for days finally catching up with me? How in the world was I seeing Seven now? It was him, wasn't it? Or was it that impostor? But how did the impostor know my name? I had never met him!Someone please tell me what the hell going on before I lose it!"Becky?" the man called out again as he got out of the car. He walked over to me with an unreadable expression on his face.Strangely, the soldiers let go of me. I looked at them and asked, "Are you seeing this? Are you guys really seeing this man?"They gave me looks that clearly said their minds; is this woman crazy?"Becky Williamson, you look like you have seen a ghost."Once the man spoke again, I shuddered. I also felt butterflies in my belly the same way I felt whenever Seven called my full name."Seven! Is it really you?" I took a step towards him.He nodded. "Yeah.""Oh, my God! I thought you were dead.

SEVENTo say that I was both confused and impatient would just be putting it lightly. Nothing Tyrone was saying made sense. I just wanted him to get on with it and tell me where the hell Winter was.That's if he even knew..."I know you must think that I betrayed you--"I roared, "I don't think, that's exactly what you did. You ghosted me when I needed you the most. Now, you show up here to tell me about a real enemy. You kidnapped Winter, didn't you?""I didn't!" Tyrone denied with his face twisted with hurt. "If you didn't mention it now, I wouldn't even have known she was kidnapped. And I didn't betray you, Alpha. I never would!"For some reason, his words made me hesitate. There was no trace of insincerity on his face. It was almost as if he was offended that I would accuse him. I took a deep breath. "If you don't know anything about it, what's this talk about a real enemy? Were you the one who sent me that text from a strange number a few days ago?"Tyrone nodded. "I know you mus

SEVENWinter let go of her head. When she looked up at me, I realized that she had lost so much weight. She wasn't this thin when I saw her at Dawn's birthday party. More so, it seemed she had been crying a lot.What happened to her?I was just about to say something when Winter pulled away from me and ran over to Alaric. She squatted beside him as the soldiers pressed him to the floor. "Honey, please tell me that guy is saying nonsense?""He is!" Alaric declared without skipping a beat. "He's a bad man. In fact, he was the one who caused your car crash.""What!" Winter and I exclaimed at the same time.I saw her look at me. Rage sparked in her eyes. I sensed her blood boiling at the same time. Suddenly, she pointed at me and cried, "So, it was you! You almost killed me. You caused the accident that took my precious daughter away from me!"For a second, I was speechless. What crash were they talking about? Winter's only bad encounter with a car recently was from the abduction which ha
