I believed that nothing could sabotage my happiness. I was going to be Alpha Caiden's future Luna, and he would be pleased to hear the news I have been keeping for a while.I went to meet Caiden after getting ready. I inhaled deeply, then gave him the sweetest smile. I was terrified of the odd way Caiden was staring at me. My wolf began to stir inside me, growling."Caiden," I exclaimed with excitement before giving him a cozy hug.However, he didn't react or give me a hug in return as he used to. I gradually withdrew, hoping to make sense of what was going on.I said, "I have something to tell you," but Caiden's face remained expressionless. "Plus, it's our anniversary—three years ago on this day, we were mated and it's my birthday.""I am aware of all that, Kamara. Let's hold off on the good news until later." I knew there was a problem because of the arid and detached tone in which he spoke. "Today you seem different from your usual self. Is there anything I should be aware of?" I

PRESENTLYI thought he loved me, but I was wrong. Mates were known to love each other and are unable to live without each other. Why was my case different? With a broken heart and a child growing inside of me, I ran hopelessly. I was sprinting down the path that would take me directly into the human realm.I vowed to myself that I would take care of myself and be a good mother, all the while keeping Caiden in the dark about the existence of our child.I was at a loss over what to do the next day. How do I get help, and who should I ask? The pain in my chest made me feel miserable and I was hungry.Everything in the human realm appeared to be different. I felt chilly and powerless as the light rain soaked my clothes. I sought cover under an old building structure, but she was unable to fall asleep. My inner wolf, awake and restless. I believed that humans were more cunning and dangerous than werewolves.Few days later, I was sharing space with gigantic rats. I was looking for food in

A growl rumbled in Caiden's chest, and I felt my heart beat increase as I walked towards him. Every muscle in my body tensing with every step. The Alpha got to his feet. Compared to seven years ago, Caiden had grown stronger and more attractive. He seemed more aggressive and brutal, though.I eventually overcame my fear and tried to cover up the old wounds that were still bleeding in my chest. "We need to talk, Caiden," I said.Caiden took a step forward, surprise evident on his face.“Hello, Kamara. Didn't occur to me that you're in fact still alive.” hearing his voice after so long, pronouncing my name, made me feel like I was in the past.But I didn’t want to dwell on the past. I didn't have time for that.Caiden's suspicions were heightened by the unsettling emptiness in my expression."I want to talk to you, ask your men to leave," I said, raising my voice above Caiden's."You have no right to make requests of me." Even though I was afraid by the harshness in his tone, I didn't b

After giving it some thought, Jessie headed straight to the beta's wing, trying to stay as far away from various areas of the house as she could in case she ran into anyone, particularly Kamara. She was unable to endure putting on a sympathetic expression and meeting that woman's gaze once more. Jessie detested her. She desired for her to be dead and out of her way. Jessie had always thought Kamara was too weak, too wretched, too worthless, and so incapable of keeping a man. That was how she felt when Caiden rejected Kamara as his mate to be with her. She thought she had won that war, but then Kamara returned, bringing the past with her and destroying whatever hopes she had for their future together. Strolling through the pack house, she vowed to herself that she would destroy Kamara Steele and she would never come near Caiden again.Enzo was told to wait in his room till she returned, so she hurried to where he was waiting. She peered into his eyes and walked furiously towards him

He didn't mince words when he demanded for a response. Louis drew a long breath and continued "They were taken by humans." Louis uttered those words, and he believed he wouldn't be able to carry on as Caiden grabbed him by the collar, preparing to throw him against the wall."I'm aware of that already." He said.He blurted, "They were hired by werewolves who are definitely your enemies and they're close to you."Caiden released him. "I find this story quite strange and you're not helping in any way," he said, appearing more irritated now. "Except for Kamara, no one knew the quadruplets were my children.""Kamara was also supposed to be killed, so you would never find out about the boys, and some people knew."The Alpha King's eyes widened in amazement as the worry from his face vanished in an instant. His expectations were pressing.Fearing that he would do something stupid, Kamara ran to Caiden when he yelled, "I want names."Louis's eyes widened in shock and terror as Caiden choked
