As Carlyle and I reveled in the intimacy of our private moment, the world outside faded away, reced
by the warmth of our connection. But as the fervor of our passion reached its peak, a persistent
knocking shattered the tranquility of the room.
“Ignore it,” I murmured, unwilling to let anything disrupt our moment together.
But the knocking persisted, growing louder and more insistent with each passing moment. Reluctantly,
we disentangled ourselves, casting each other a shared look of frustration before moving towards the
door.
“I’ll go get that.” Carlyle said, pulling on a robe to cover his body with.
With a heavy sigh, I straightened up, attempting topose myself as Carlyle approached the door.
Pulling the door open, a flood of cool air and unwee interruption swept into the room.
“Who dares to disturb us at such an hour?” Carlyle’s voice sounded as he looked out into the hallway,
searching
for the source of the disturbance.
“It’s me, Alpha.” A guard stepped forward, delivering the message he was there for to Carlyle. “Pardon
my intrusion, Alpha, but there is urgent news from the Luna’s chambers.”
Carlyle gestured for the guard to continue. “What news do you bring?”
“It is young Alpha Mason, sir. The maid reported that he couldn’t sleep and has been in tears.”
“How long has this been going on?” Carlyle asked in a hushed tone.
I could tell from his words that his mind was racing with worry already.
“The maid hase bearing the same report several times within the span of an hour, sir.” The guard
answered.
Carlyle nodded in understanding.
“Thank you for bringing this to our attention. You can return to your duties.”
With a nod of acknowledgment, the guard retreated, leaving Carlyle to ponder the weight of the news
he had just received. With a heavy heart, he made his way back inside, his steps echoing as he
approached the room.
Approaching me, his demeanor was solemn yet resolute.
“It’s Mason.” He broke the silence with furrowed brows. “Your maid reported that he’s been throwing
tantrums again.”
“I heard, Carlyle.” I heaved a sigh.
“Since you heard, you know we need to go see him right?”
“Can’t we just focus on us? On our moments together? At least tonight?” For a moment, I wanted to be
selfish. It wanted to revel in the bond between Carlyle and I.
Carlyle’s gaze softened, understanding my desire for intimacy amidst all. However, his sense of
responsibility as a parentpelled him to prioritize our son’s well-being.
“My love, I understand your wish, but we’ve neglected Mason all day. You and I know that we’ve been
consumed by the wedding preparations. We didn’t have much time for him.”
“I know, Carlyle. But why don’t we finish what we started? I want us to have this moment together
without any interruptions.”
Carlyle’s lips curled into a gentle smile, his love for me evident in his eyes. He reached out to gently
cup my face, his touch tender yet firm, as he tried to convey how he felt about what I said.
Softly, he persuaded me.
“I promise, Donnie, we’ll have all the time in the world toplete what we started. But right now,
Mason needs
us.”
He leaned in closer, his voice filled with reassurance and determination, as he continued to persuade
me to see reason with a searching and pleading look in his eyes.
“Let us go see him together. I’ll make it up to you in ways you can’t even imagine. Trust me.” He kissed
my forehead while holding my hand.
I hesitated for a moment, torn between my desire for intimacy and my maternal instincts. Finally, with a
resigned nod, I relented, acknowledging the importance of our parental duty. Right then, Mason came
first.
“Alright, Carlyle. Let’s go see our son.”

As we exchanged a nce filled with understanding and resolve, we set off together, leaving behind
the warmth of the chambers.
Dressed in a light attire, Carlyle and I walked through the grand corridors of the Alpha’s residence, our
footsteps echoing in the silence of the night. Holding each other’s hand, we enjoyed the feeling that
came with the night.
Suddenly, wee to a halt as we seemed spotted a dark-clothed figure blocking our path, sending a
shiver down my spine.
“Feels like someone is there.” I said, through the mind link.
“I guess so.” He tried getting who was there with his senses, but couldn’t. “Who is there?”
The figure remained silent, its presence casting an eerie shadow in the dimly lit environment. Carlyle
and i exchanged wary nces, our senses on high alert, as we cautiously approached the mysterious
intruder.
“Carlyle, do you see that?” My voice was barely a whisper.
Before Carlyle could respond, the figure vanished into thin air, leaving behind a palpable sense of
unease. Carlyle and I exchange bewildered looks as our minds raced with questions and doubts.
“Did you see that, Sidonnie?” Carlyle voiced in disbelief.
“I…I’m not sure. It could have been a trick of the light, or perhaps our minds ying tricks on us.” I was
a bit shaken, but I tried to maintain myposure, nevertheless.
“Perhaps all these is our hallucination.”
Despite my attempt to rationalize the encounter, Carlyle remained unconvinced, his instincts telling him
that something was amiss.
“No, Sidonnie. I felt a presence, a tangible presence. It wasn’t a hallucination. Carlyle insisted.
“But if there was someone there, why did he or she disappear?”
Carlyle’s brow furrowsy with concern, his mind racing with possibilities. With a heavy sigh, he
reluctantly conceded, realizing that we must proceed with caution.
“Let’s continue towards your quarters. We didn’t see anyone, but I can’t shake this feeling of unease.”
With a shared nce filled with uncertainty, Carlyle and I resumed our journey, the shadows of doubt
lingering in our wake.
We haven’t walked far away after the hidden figure incident when I abruptly halted as I copsed to my
knees, clutching my abdomen in agony. Carlyle rushed to my side, concern etched deeply on his face
as he knelt beside me, his hands reaching out to offerfort and support.
“Donnie, what’s happening? Are you alright?” He asked with urgency.
My groans of pain drew out Carlyle’s questions as I struggled to endure the sudden onught of agony.
My movements became erratic as I pushed Carlyle’s hands away, my screams reverberating around.

“Sidonnie, please, tell me what’s wrong! What can I do to help you?” Carlyle asked frantically, a bit
scared. He tried hiding g his fears, but who wouldn’t be in such a situation?
“Ahhh,” I held my head my ears, my eyes closed tightly.
As Carlyle bombarded me with questions, his desperation mirroring my escting distress, a voice
from above interrupted our frantic exchange, its tone filled with an eerie calm.
“It’s time. It’s the full moon today, she’s ascending.
Carlyle’s gaze shots upwards, searching for the source of the mysterious voice, but found nothing but
darkness looming overhead. The weight of the words sank in, sending a chill down his spine as he
realized the gravity of
the situation.
“Ascending? What do you mean?” His voice trembled.
But the voice offered no further exnation, leaving Carlyle to grapple with his confusion and fear as
he watched helplessly over me, his heart heavy with dread for what the full moon may bring as the
voice had mentioned.
