The Red moon pack had never been so peaceful, Alpha Coast stayed in his room with Bella laying silently on him.
"Coast" she called.
"Hmm" he replied.
"Have you ever thought of having children?" She asked,
The past few days Alpha Coast had been so close to Luther that it was easy to forget he had once bullied him making him scared of him.
The closeness between them could be mistaken for a father and son relationship and Bella loved how well they moved along.
"Do you remember you were pregnant before?" He reminded her of their toxic past. At first he was against having a kid when he found out that she was pregnant but when he talked to Lucian, he realized his that being a father wasn't a bad thing afterall much more when it was the child of his mate. He became eager to have his child into the world despite the hatred Bella had for him.
He thought the child would bring them together but if it didn't then he had someone to remind him of her when she was gone.
"Ah, how can I forget that?" She said, being pregnant with his child brought Bella to one of the unstable moment of her life. On one hand she wanted to be with her child and cater for her child but it also meant that she had to be with Alpha Coast and at that moment she hated such idea because she hated him too for murdering her family as she believed.
On the other hand, she thought about abandoning the child so that she wouldn't be bound to Alpha Coast but what kind of mother would leave their child like that and not care about the consequences, she couldn't act so cruel towards her own blood.
"Honestly I panicked at first, I thought I won't make a good father because of the way my father acted with me. I thought my past would catch up with me and I would be so cold but then I believed that I could be much different from him if I wanted to.
It was because of the child that I began growing soft, I slowly thought myself how to love you so that I could be nothing like my father and never harm you, it wasn't hard to fall in love with you because you were my mate.
You may have hated me and all but I just couldn't do without you in my life, so I accepted the child and you too into my life" he explained and she smiled.
"I was just wondering what kind of father you would be, each time I see you with Luther I get jealous, I do wish that our child had lived and I could actually get to see how much of a loving father you could be but there is no doubt that you would be over protective because of the way you are to me" she stated and he laughed.
Days had passed after Bella committed the big offense of trying to stall and attack, Alpha Coast had never let her out of the Castle without his permission, he made sure that he knew exactly where she was and she didn't mind about it because it made him feel safe.
"I also would have love to know what type of father I would be but before then I am trying to be a perfect mate for you.
I know I am overprotective but if I let you be then you might pierce an arrow through your heart thinking it won't kill you.
I can't afford to lose you and that's why I will always keep you safe with me.
You might call it being overprotective but I call it being protective over the one you love" he stated and she blushed hiding her face. His words made her smile and her heart flutter.
"We can have kids if you want, just because you lost a child doesn't mean you can't have another" he added.
She raised her head to him,
"How many kids do you want?" She asked eager to hear his answer.
"Let's see,
One" he blurted out after thinking a bit.
"One!" She exclaimed in shock.
"Yeah, just one.
I can't afford to have many kids taking your attention away from me, one child is enough and I also know I would be jealous of my child because the child would be with you all the time for the first few years of its life" He answered sincerely.
Alpha Coast had always wanted to be the one Bella sees, he never wanted her to stare at someone else but he knew one day, her love would be divided and he would have to struggle for it.
"How can you be jealous of your own child" She asked laughing at him but when she saw that he was dead serious, she looked at him with confusion.
"Let's not have children now.
I haven't had enough your love for me to share you with my child" he stated with firmness.
"You realize that each time we make love, you stand a chance of getting me pregnant" she said and he raised in lips in a query, he had never thought of it that way because he always thought he was deeply expressing his love to her.
"Then I won't touch you again, I know it might be hard but I will try my best" he said.
"Is that so, she crawled up his body and kissed his neck just on his mark" Bella knew he would lose control so she tempted him.
"Bella you can't do this to me" he said trying to stop her.
She was now defying his decision to not make love to her, the kiss on his mark made him want more and a moan almost escaped his lips.
"You can't escape it Coast, you know you can't resist me" she whispered into his ears.
"You are making it hard for me" he answered.
"I'm all yours" she said kissing his lips, he could feel a bulging underneath his trousers and his desires to have her and risen. He wanted to kiss her and worship her body and she was drawing in him.
"Fuck it" he kissed her back ravaging her body.

Elaine was cooking in the kitchen when she heard the door being locked, she turned to see who it was and was terrified to see Alpha James.
"Are you shocked to see me" he said bearing his arms out.
Elaine was so startled that she let go of the plate in her hand smashing it to the ground.
"What, you thought you had killed me. I told you that we are meant to be with each which means if I die then you die along with me" he said moving closer to her.
"No, it's not true.
You are dead" she replied moving away from him, she was so scared of him that she didn't care about the broken glass she stepped on, Elaine suddenly crashed on the wall with no where else to run to.
"I am more alive than I could ever be, you can never get rid of me" he said laughing hysterically.
Elaine had thought it was all over when she killed him, she thought she would never see him again so why then was he in front of her.
"This is not real" she closed her eyes for a second and then when she opened them he was directly in front of her.
"I told you I can never let you go, you are the only woman who make me go crazy just by a touch. Do you think it is that easy to let such a woman go, never" he whispered to her and she had goosebumps all over her body.
He grabbed both her hands to keep her still and he kissed her cheeks,
"Does this feel real to you?" He asked in a smirk, Elaine couldn't believe it.
At first she thought she was seeing a ghost or that she was dreaming but his kiss in her cheeks felt real, she found actually feel it.
"Let me go"
She struggled with him but his grip on her was very tight.
"Why would I do that, it's just you and I here which means I can have my way with you" he stated.
Elaine became scared of what he might actually do to her, she knew he was going to force herself on her.
"Please let me go" she pleaded and he scoffed.
"You are my woman" he echoed.
"Please let me go" she began pleading with him but he wouldn't, he tried kissing her but she wouldn't let him.
"Don't cross the line Elaine" he warned her to be still.
"Arthur, if you can hear me please save me" she yelled as hard as she could. The door suddenly began banging,
"Who the fuck is that again" James grunted from the disturbance.
The door kept banging until it was forced opened.
A strong hand pulled Elaine and she opened her eyes.
"It's a dream" Arthur held her close to him, while she was sleeping he couldn't help but nothing her shaking and muttering some words, he knew she was having a nightmare until she called his name to save her.
He immediately grabbed her walking her up from the nightmare.
"He was there" she cried on him, she was so scared that Alpha James was going to molest her that she began crying.
"It's just a dream, it's not real" he coaxed her, he knew she was referring to Alpha James and it would be odd if she didn't have nightmares about because he had haunted her and made her life miserable.
"I thought his death would give me peace, why is he still haunting me in my dream" she said worried.
"Forgive me for not telling you this but taking revenge doesn't give you peace but it does give you closure and freedom but that would be much later.
I knew you would have nightmares and it might last for a while but it would soon go away and you can be truly free but I promise to be here with you to get you out of each nightmare" he said assuring her.
"I really thought he was real, he tried to kiss me" she stated.
"That bastard is obsessed with you even in dreams, you surely do leave a mark on men" he teased.
Elaine slapped his back furious,
"Now is not the time to joke" she muttered.
"I am just saying that you are attractive enough to make a man want more of you, if I have to kill another Alpha for you then I would gladly do it" he stated.
A smile crept on her face and he felt glad about it,
"Now that you are awake, can you help me with the this" he passed a file to her that he had been working on.
"Sure".
