Ronin’s POVI watched the whole wedding, I see her stand there alone and I know for the most part of our marriage it will be that way; She’d have to get used to being alone fast.Andrea leaves the wedding and I know for certain she is pissed and embarrassed but I can’t be bothered to attend the wedding. This is how our marriage will be a marriage on paper that is what I want, that is what’s best. I walk down the hall to her room when I hear her hiss angrily. She's clearly upset. "How convenient for him to come back after the wedding. Only a useless man would come for his wedding night but not the wedding itself. They value the intimacy that would happen but not taking the sacred vows," she says and it stings my ears.I step inside and she turns to me "What did you just say?" I ask as I walk toward her, my heart pounding and my wolf jumping. She looks up at me, her eyes still clouded with anger."Well, I was wondering what sort of Alpha your pack has that can't show up to his own wed
Wife..Half my existence I had longed to be addressed with this word by a man who cherished me and whom I cherish in return, not some alpha who had married me because of certain unfortunate circumstances.As he walked away leaving me with the papers of the contract I felt myself fall deeper into the claws of the depression threatening to take me downwards into the world of sorrow.“Dear heavens,” I sighed looking at the papers in my hands again and up to the roof. “I hate how much of a mess my life has become.” I declaredI let my eyes fall shut and the tears that had been stinging my eyeballs fell freely as I had nothing else to do and no one else to run to for comfort.I felt another presence before the voice graced me.“Your highness,” her voice was soft and sounded very pitiful. I opened my eyes and looked down at her.Her expression slowly morphed into that of horror before she casted her gaze downwards immediately to the floor and began to struggle with her words.I could only im
Andrea~Before then, I had never truly understood what people meant when they said dreams were an escape from reality. Back home, I had never needed an escape from my reality, hell I always wanted to be in my reality at all times because that was where I had dad and Anna. They were sources of joy for me but as I felt myself regain total control of my mind and body I just wanted to claw myself to death.The bed did not feel very weird, it was pretty similar in size and texture to the one back at home, but it’s familiarity had not put me at ease. I knew if my eyes were to open up, I would be in a room in the house of my husband alpha ronin.“Husband,” I let the words fall from my lips. I was supposed to address some other man with that word. But the other man didn’t even deserve it, why was every man in my life an asswipe? Before I could even muster up the strength to think of the answer to the question I had asked myself, a knock infiltrated my peace and quiet. Who was I deceiving, pret
Ronin~ My life had always been very planned out. I was expected to be up at certain times, sparring at certain times, eating at certain times as well but now all that had changed.I could bring myself to wake up before the sun did because I’d been too caught up in a dream where Andrea and I had been getting intimate. Her skin mashed against mine as we both moaned out each other’s name and she cried out in ecstasy.I had spilled out my seeds both physically and in my dreams before I had woken up and to crown the event I had woken up with her name on my lips.‘Andrea’Fuck! I felt like I’d been pussy whipped even though I technically hadn’t even had her yet.I changed into running clothes wanting to get some fresh air as always because today I was desperate for it. My new wife was everywhere, my head, my house, inside my nostrils, I desperately needed a break. My wolf wasn’t even helping matters, it’s longing for her had began to make it ignore me at times demanding her presence. I slip
Andrea~ Contrary to what a lot of people believed, fighting was actually a good source of stress relief for me. Had always been since the day I had learnt to throw a punch.As I looked at the servant curled into a ball on the floor my heart thudded, adrenaline coursing through my veins and making me feel super good.“My lady, are you alright?” Shirley asked as she ran to me with a towel in her hand.“I am very fine actually,” I replied and took the towel from her. It was warm and damp and felt absolutely soothing against my knuckles, they felt bruised from use.“Thank you for this,” I said once again and flipped the towel to the other side and used it to dry off the bead of sweat forming around my eyebrows and dripping down my face.“Could you head up and run me another bath? A hot one I can soak off in for a while,” I asked her and she nodded moving quickly to get the order carried out.As I stood there with the towel in my hand, I looked around to see the servants standing around st
Alpha Ronin~From a tender age, I’d been groomed to think before acting. My now late father had made sure to instill the attribute in me through dozens of tests and trails.My entire life I’ve always lived by the principle but ever since Andrea came into my world, the opposite has been the case. First of, I hadn’t thought ahead about the consequences of leaving her at the alter on her own and now I hadn’t even thought about what bursting into her room and invading her privacy would lead to. Our relationship was already strained by the situation we found ourselves in and the circumstances that drew us into the situation in the first place.I was doing a lot of wrong things when it came to her and I couldn’t even help it.The only wrong thing that I would never regret doing is walking in on her still getting changed.I was to angry initially to care about what she was putting on but the moment I did I couldn’t even deny the reactions it had elicited from my body.The moon goddess just ha
Andrea~*Months ago...Karen and I took a walk in the woods, holding a pic in basket in our hands. We wanted to spend the entire evening together, it was something we hadn’t done in a long time and after now we weren’t certain when next we’d be able to do it again.“I love the evening breeze,” I said as waves of cold breeze washed over me. Karen turned to look at me and smiled.“I love it too,” she said.We walked till we reached a clearing, the same clearing we had been having our picnics from when we were little girls.I helped her spread open the picnic mat over the open ground and placed the basket on it.We both settled down on the mat and I opened the basket to bring out the fruits and foods that we had packed specially for the occasion.“Do you love Jackson?” She had asked me. It was a personal question that no one had asked yet. I knew it was quite evident to the people around that both of us had something strong going on even though we hadn’t confirmed that we were meant to b
Andrea~Have you ever experienced those moments where you clearly just heard a statement but disbelief makes you question the clarity of your hearing.“Come again?”As the words left my lips, he stared at me like I had grown two heads in addition to the one he was used to seeing me with.“Let’s start from the top,” he said instead and I nodded, we could start from anywhere as long as it helped cleared this air of confusion hovering above my head.My nightmares were finally coming true, I’d be a breeding dog for the alpha and the elders of this pack. Technically I’d be breeding for the alpha only but that didn’t make things sound any better.“Here is this pack, violence at the alpha’s home is prohibited,” he began and I frowned. I wasn’t aware of those rules and Shirley, the gods help Shirley for not telling me about them.“I did not even know such rules existed Alpha Ronin,” he glared at me but I could care less.“It’s a things of common sense my lady, why would you be battling your s
-CHAPTER 39-VALERIE.The ripple of shock that ran through me when he had said that froze me for a moment. I couldn't understand what was happening. I was more than shocked as he deflected my plea and came up with the same old bullshit of making sure that he doubled the security and made sure that they guarded me at all times. What had the security he had employed to guard done when I had gone out there in the woods and faked it all without any of them seeing me or stopping me before I did it. I watched as he made his promise of going to look for whoever had done this time and tracking them down. He had no idea that he was being sent into a wild goose chase. I was happy that he would come back with no single proof or track as to who had done it. He would come back tired and frustrated. And that was exactly the same way he looked when he came back the next morning to talk to me and see how I was doing. He was tired and he looked quite frustrated like the whole thin
-CHAPTER 38-RONIN.Shocked was too weak a word to describe the way I felt the moment I laid my eyes on Valerie who was sprawled on the ground. Her form painted a clear picture of vulnerability and it hit me like a freight train. I was so confused and shocked as it began to sink in that she had been attacked. But how? By who? How was that even possible and what was she doing in this part of the woods away from the Packhouse? I guess she came around to have some fresh air and reconnect with nature. It wasn't far from the Packhouse so I shouldn't be so concerned. My protective instincts immediately surged to the forefront and I cared immediately while giving orders to the guards who were beside me now. I couldn't stand the sight of her lying down there, asking the guards to move away from her. "What happened to you?" I asked, moving close to her but I berated myself immediately for asking her the question. It was clear that she was hurt and wouldn't be able to answer the question.
-CHAPTER 37-VALERIE Anticipating his visit tomorrow made me so excited and I could not stop wondering how my planned spectacles would change basically everything about us. But first I had to make sure that I planned everything meticulously and there was not a single chance that anything fishy would be detected. I set up for many hours that night thinking about what I was going to do to make him know that the Threat was real and I could fall in danger even when it seemed impossible. Unfortunately I had to sleep off that night with nothing planned because I was so excited that I found it hard coming up with a very good plan that would help me facilitate my mission.I eagerly continued to await his arrival while consequencing what the impact of my carefully crafted performance would do between the both of us and also his relationship with that bitch. I simply could not wait. My maid had already taken care of everything when I got up the next morning, just as he had p
CHAPTER 36-RONIN.I started for her immediately, but I also had it in mind to keep my space and not approach her too much. I stood behind her, watching her every move as she began walking around. "I don't think i have all day, Valerie." I said to her, wanting to leave this place. I could no longer weather the way I felt right now. I just wanted to leave and have some moment of rest, away from the troubles that plagued me right now. I just wanted to go, but she was making sure that those feelings got more intense. As soon as I had said the word to her, she turned around immediately with a sly smile on her lips and began to approach me. She didn't say anything, which only made me more angry. Did she think I was here to make jokes with her or play games? I didn't want to voice out my anger at this moment because she would have enough reason to rant that I was not caring enough or that I was desperate to kick her out of my life, which wasn't what I wanted to hear. It was horrible when
RONINValerie's room felt a bit suffocating as I made my way through the door. I had no idea if it was because of the work I had been involved with all day or if it was because of the emotions that choked me the moment I remembered that I had made a terrible mistake and she was capitalising on it.I couldn't let her down, so I had to play by her rules now and see where this would take me. Her eyes brightened as she looked up at me, instantly acknowledging my presence. "Hey, you came!" She said excitedly with a radiant smile which was a sharp contrast to what I felt inside. I also knew that the way she presented herself now might not be the way she truly felt inside, sometimes I felt it was just one of her weak attempts to manipulate me into actually caring. I nodded before flashing her a very weak smile. "Yes." I said, releasing a weak sigh before walking to the bed where she was sitting. She got up from the bed and gave me a hug which I forcefully and awkwardly gave her back befo
CHAPTER 34-RONIN."Tell me you're going to do something about this." She said, looking me in the eye as she spoke to me. I returned her gaze, not wanting to lie to her that I was going to do something about it when it was clear that she wasn't saying what I wanted to hear. It might not be true what had happened, so I wasn't going to do anything unless I had found out if she was telling the truth or not. By the way, doing something about it didn't mean punishing Andrea to her taste. I nodded and flashed her a small smile before brushing back her hair behind her nape. She gave me a sweet smile before I said. "I will, you don't have to feel sorry for yourself about it. I want you to take care of the baby and visit the hospital often so they can update you on things you need to do. I'll be here to offer any sort of assistance if you need me to." I finished and watched as she nodded her head, smiling happily from my promise. The most important thing was that she was happy. It didn't l
CHAPTER 33-RONINI stood at the spot, rooted in shock for a moment or two before I turned back slowly, hoping that I had misheard her. I could hear my heart beginning to race a bit fast now, which was unlike me. I steaded my emotions immediately and kept my expression stoic, but it was a different story altogether deep down. I couldn't grapple with what she had just said, but just to confirm if that had been a cruel joke or something of that sort, I asked. "I don't understand what you mean? I think I misheard you." I said, unable to hide the worry in my voice. She rolled her eyes before giving me a knowing look. "You heard me right. I wasn't joking and neither did I have water in my mouth when I said that. But in incase you want me to repeat it again, here you go. "I am pregnant with our child." She said, rolling her eyes a second time as her words echoed, reverberating through my mind as I thought about it. How was that even possible? I asked myself, filled with shock and surpri
-CHAPTER 32-RONIN"You still haven't told me what I wanna hear, Valerie. I'd suggest you stop being cryptic and tell me what you mean. Or else you're just trying to cover up for the stupid mistake you just made. You think I am stupid? Is that what you think of me?" I asked, looking her deep in the eye. But it didn't seem to affect her at all, she instead seemed to be amused by the way i spoke to her. .I wished she would just stop with her attitude and tell me what I needed to hear. "I don't think you deserve to know anything about it now. Maybe you should wait, and when you find it out yourself, you will be happy that I kept it from you all this while." She said, before she walked up to me and began to trail her finger across my buttons. I was choking back the anger that was trying to eat me up right now. Did she take me for a child, or a serf that can be manipulated emotionally anyhow she wanted. And that had me wondering if what she wanted right now was for me to beg her to tell
-CHAPTER 31-RONIN"I am going to ask you for the second time, answer my question and stop changing the damn topic." At this point I was doing everything to get out of the shitty situation that I had just found myself in. But how was this even possible? How could she have known it? Had the guards said something to her, or was there a secret informant that could be feeding her with some information. Her maid? The thoughts kept running in and out of my mind as I desperately tried to go back to the other topic.There was no way I could lie now, and that was because Alphas never did, and it would hit my reputation like a ton of bricks, and that was something I didn't want. "I never knew you were this evil! I trusted you, but I never knew you were different. So you mean go tell me that you sleep well and you are not even bothered after what you have done to me? The promises that you made to me. They were all empty lies and empty promises that were meant to just keep me elated and happy
