I silently winced in pain. It felt like my whole body was stuffed into a grinder and ground into jelly.My body was in pain except for my eyes, which flickered open. My vision was blurry at first, but everything slowly became clear. It was a densely lit room with a black and white interior. Everywhere in the room exuded luxury. I was confused; I was glad that it wasn't Agnar's room, that backstabbing son of a bitch handed me over to Celine. But that wasn't the problem at hand as I had no idea what had happened or where I was.I tried getting up from the bed, but I couldn't, as I felt pain all over my body. I felt frustrated trying to get my body to do my bidding, I have always been a fighter all my life and the idea of getting stuck on this bed was damn too scary for me to handle. I was still fighting with my body to get off the bed when images of how I got here in the first place flashed through my eyes. I instantly became nervous when I suddenly realized the last place I drove
It has been over 2 weeks now, and I have been stuck in this bloody room, he said I was shot with a silver bullet, but had asked him a couple of times how I recovered so quickly, but didn't give me a response. I haven't left the room for a day, neither have I seen anyone. He comes by once in a while to see me, and we just sit in the room, silently munching our dinner. And the days he doesn't show up, someone just drops the food off at the door. I have never actually seen the person who drops the food I just hear a knock on the door; The knock was constant reminder that food is here. I had asked him a couple of times to let me out of the room, but he just turned a deaf ear to my words. I need to plan my escape, and I definitely can't plan it stuck in this room. I need to get my revenge on Celine and her cohorts. He doesn't trust me, even though I am his mate. I don't blame him; he must have tons of questions going through his mind. It was a cool winter evening, and the weather w
I was granted freedom to go anywhere I wanted to go; it's not like I could run away or something. I guess the shining protection was put in place recently to keep me here.It seems he could read the shit out of me; he knew that the spell was the only fucking weapon that could stop me from escaping.I have been moving freely around the castle, and it has assigned me a maid, whom I found out was a wolf, and a Lycan bodyguard to be with me at all times. I gladly accepted the maid. I needed someone to teach me stuff about this place, and if possible, someone who knows the spell or knows someone who knows the spell. But I kicked against the bodyguard, but that donkey head won't let me have it my way.I found it odd to be around the Lycans, but what I found weirder was his refusal to reject me; it's been a week since my request to reject me.I only saw him later at night when he assigned a guard and a maid to me, saying he had a meeting to attend.I have toured this fucking palace more tim
My eyes were heavy, and I couldn't keep them open no matter how hard I tried, but one thing was certain: I was hanging upside down, and it felt like someone was carrying me. My hands were dangling side by side, and someone was carrying me, the person stopped abruptly and I heard a deep voice whispering ss and after a few a while, we started moving again, and I groaned. I sighed when the person gently laid me down on the bed. "Sleep, little pup." I heard a whisper in my ears and snuggled and dozed off. * * * * * * * * * *I woke up to the clattering sound. I looked around wondering where I was, when my adventure outside the palace hit me. I sat up on the bed, clutching my head, only to realize I was back in his room. "What happened?" I asked myself, rubbing my head. "Sorry Luna, I bumped into something," I heard Sarah say as she was busy clearing the mess she made on the floor. "Sarah!" I called out to her, surprised that she was also here, but what shocked me more was that she
I rested my head on the window as the driver sped off. Hayden was seated next to me with his head against the car seat while his eyes were closed. I was happy I was leaving that prison of a palace, but then I realized I wasn't leaving it on my terms. I was still stuck with him; the mate bond was messing with my head and making me have a series of wet fantasies. I had slept next to Agnar for a couple of months, and I hadn't felt the way I felt with him. I have no idea why, but I don't think I would hold up against him for too long. I inhaled, trying to ease my tension. I had no idea what to expect from where we headed, but I was hopeful he would just give me some freedom. I wasn't going to run from him anymore; I just had to stay for a while and plan my revenge before executing it. "You might want to sleep; we have a long way to travel." I heard his voice, and I turned around, shocked. I thought he had slept off, but since he was awake, I decided to stop thinking about anything
"You!" he growled. Before he could say another word, Hayden moved over with the speed of lightning, grabbed him by the neck, and suspended him on the wall. Darius groaned, making incoherent noises as Hayden applied pressure on his neck.I just stood there bewildered at first but soon started, enjoying the view and the drama unfolding. "You dare not disrespect my mate," he barked at Darius was already raising both hands in submission since his neck was of no use at the moment. Hayden growled and let him fall to the ground when he was satisfied with the damage he had done to him. Darius scampered to the corner of the room, coughing hard with fear written all over him. It was fun seeing him like that. For someone who has done a lot of atrocities, I was disappointed that he would be scared so easily, but it is what it is. I know if we let him go, he would run back to Agnar and Celine. I thought I was going to rest a little while before I dived into the ocean one more time, but, I was
I woke up the next morning to find out I was snuggling with Hayden, locked together in each other's embrace like Siamese twins, snoring away. He was still asleep, or so I assumed. The mating bond was messing with my head, and I had a thousand imaginations going through my head, but then one thing hit me: I wasn't having visions anymore, even when he had been touching me for a long time. I had been careful since I started staying with Hayden; I didn't want anyone to find out about my vision, coupled with the fact that I had never read a lycan before. The very thought of sneaking around a Lycan's head sends fear to my heart. They are wild beasts that can't be tamed; I have no idea what to expect, so till then, my hand remains with me. "But then, if we have been holding hands for so long, why aren't I seeing anything? Shit, he reads my mind: "I scolded myself. My gaze rested on his lips. He might be all muscled up and hard, but his lips looked soft, and the last time we kissed, it w
I was in the back seat of the black SUV with Tessa sitting beside me. One of his men was sitting in the passenger seat at the front of the car while the driver kept speeding off. Hayden had promised to take me shopping today but suddenly called a few minutes ago to tell me he wouldn't make it, saying I should either cancel today or go to the mall alone.I hated shopping, but I had been looking forward to leaving this house to get some fresh air, and there he was talking about canceling. I quickly told him that I didn't mind going alone, nothing surprises me anymore, I wasn't expecting much from him anymore. I was preparing to leave when I remembered Tessa. We told her about the mate thing but skipped the part where I was being hunted. She was glad we found each other but I could sense there was more to it but quickly waved it off. She jumped on the offer the moment I asked her and within a few seconds, she was already ready. I was lost in my world, looking out the car window, w
I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw him walk through that door, looking so lethal. Sheila tried escaping, but I quickly shot her in the leg, while Hayden and his men devoured every last one of them except Zack."You keep destroying my stuff, Hayden. I'm going to make you pay," he barked, looking at the damage done to the property."I'm counting on it, Zack; you should have stayed gone when you ran, but you dare show your stupid face here," he barked at him."That throne is mine," Zack yelled at him."Says the illegitimate son; go blame your mother if you need someone to blame," Hayden yelled back at him."How dare you!" Zack barked. I heard from a reliable source that Zack was the first son of the former Lycan king, but it was just meant to be a fling. Zack's mom seduced the then-Lycan king, who wasn't married at the time, and he slept with her.The Fling lasted for a while, but the Lycan king found his mate and kicked Zack's mom out of the palace, but she was pregnant at the momen
It had been a week after the whole drama, and things were finally getting back to normal. Tessa had a hard time adjusting, but she is fine now. My real parents moved in with us, and we have been bonding well. I'm in my last trimester and it could happen any time now, honestly, I'm kind of scared. Hayden went after Sheila and Zack, but that sneaky bastard got wind of it and escaped the country. As satisfying as it would have been to watch him die, all the same, he is out of our lives now till he shows his ugly head again. The only problem is that Hayden increased our security again; each time there is an attack on any of us, he ends up getting more security. It's frustrating watching the whole property filled with more security than actual occupants. I was allowed to go out before now, but these days I'm just stuck in here like I'm in prison. Hayden wasn't at home, and I was getting tired of staying home already. I picked up my phone, wore the necklace he got me, and stashed some
I held Tessa in my arms as she continued crying, holding onto me so tightly. "Hush now, honey, it's fine now," I said to her, gently patting her hair. Hayden's men shot the bastard a couple of times just to make sure he was dead. I took Tess back into the house and to her room. She laid down on her bed, and I turned to leave, but she grabbed my hands. "Tess, honey, you should take a rest," I said to her. "I don't want to be alone," she whispered while holding onto my hand. I sat back on her bed, brushing the hair off her face. "I will kill every single one of them before they lay a finger on you," I said, holding her gaze. "Kay," she whispered as tears formed in her eyes, gently trickling down on the bed. "I will be right outside if you need me," I whispered into her eyes, and she nodded, smiling at me. I smiled back and made my way out of the room. I went into the room, dropping my bag in the room. I took off the 2-inch heel I was putting on. I was about to pull out the gun;
AGNARS POVI have been troubled ever since I saw Kay. I don't know what troubles me more—the fact that my jealousy made me want to kill her or the fact that she is pregnant.I was a fool for kicking her out. I guess karma is indeed a bitch. There has never been a dull moment in this bloody pack. "What am I doing? I don't have time for regrets," I scolded myself.I shouldn't have seen her; seeing her has triggered something deep within me, and I can't seem to quench it. My head keeps going on a rollercoaster, and it's becoming exhausting."I need to keep myself busy," I quickly said, getting off my chair. I picked up my phone and made my way out of my office, heading towards my quarters. I wanted to get my keys from my room and probably go for a ride.It's the best way to get your mind off things. I got into my room and picked up the key from the counter, then headed out of the room.I made my way out of the room and was heading towards the parking lot when my phone began ringing.I f
When I woke up the next morning, I was feeling a little feverish and had severe pain in my tummy. I was scared at first that maybe the dream I had yesterday wasn't just any dream but a premonition, but I have never been the superstitious type, so I waved it off."It's just stress," I told myself several times. "Hey, sweetie, you are awake. How is my baby?" Hayden said the moment he stepped out of the bathroom. "I don't know," I snapped at him and made to get off the bed. "Come on, baby," he said, grabbing me from behind. "I know I have been terrible to you these past few days; I promise, I will make it up to you," he said, kissing my neck. "Promise?" I said I don't know but I couldn't stay mad at him for long. "Sure baby" "Well, you can start by dropping me off at the hospital," I said, disappearing into the bathroom before he could respond. I grabbed my toothbrush and paste, then set to work. When I was done, I quickly freshened up. I came out of the bathroom to see him dres
I was bored at home, but didn't know what else to do, I have strolled the house a couple of times, more than I could count; nothing was appealing to watch on television, and Hayden wasn't home yet. I tried calling a couple of times, and it went straight to voicemail. It was like the forces of the universe were working against me today. I tried calling Ben to find out what happened, and that was when he said something about some stupid meetings he had. I asked when the meeting would be over but he said it might run till midnight. I immediately hung up as it wasn't what I wanted to hear. I have no idea if it was my pregnancy hormones that were working, but I'm kind of tired of sitting around. I don't care where but I should go do something fun, and it's not in this damn house.I stormed into the house to go upstairs only to find Mom lying down on the couch, looking downcast."Mom, are you okay?" I asked her, wondering why her face looked like that. The last I checked I knew she didn't
AGNARS POVI, Cole, and a few of my men trailed carefully behind him; the last thing we wanted was to make a mistake, and he would notice that he had been followed. Thank goodness he is in pain, so he would be so concentrated on it that he wouldn't even bother picking up our scent. At some point, we were scared he might decide to go treat himself at the hospital first before anything because honestly, he is in a pretty bad shape. It was a damn long walk, in the woods but seeing him in front of a big mansion made it all worth it. We stood there in hiding, waiting for someone to open the gates for him, as he continued ringing the bell. When he felt like no one was coming, he banged on the gate a couple of times, he stood at the gates for a few minutes. Then gate flew open, but I heard the intruder whimpering in pain. He was clearly scared, He slowly moved back while a man wearing a black cap and putting on a black suit came out of the gate with three men standing behind him. I c
HAYDEN'S POVI had a meeting with some of our stakeholders this afternoon. I hurried up as I dressed up to leave the house. Kay was fast asleep, and I didn't want to wake her up. Lately, she has been having a difficult time with the pregnancy and I intend to make things as easy as possible. I raided one of their makeshift bases, and I didn't find out much from there, but my guys are onto something big; it's only a matter of time before it blows up. I was hurrying out of the house that morning when I noticed Kay's mom was on the phone talking to whomever. I wasn't paying attention to what she was saying until she said, I can't wait to have him fuck her silly. Thank goodness Lycans have super-hearing abilities. I stood there wondering what the fuck I just heard, but what made me uncomfortable was when Kay's dad was in the same room talking to a child he kept referring to as his baby. "My Prince, we need to leave now if we are to meet up," Ben said to me, waking me up to reality.
AGNAR'S POVI heard a crashing sound from the floor I was lying down on. I turned around, and the car that just drove into the fuel station ran into my car.I got off the floor, only to discover that some of my men were wounded and that my car was bashed in more places than I can count.I became pissed, wondering what piece of shit ran into my car. I went over to the car that hit us, and there was only one person in the car, but the person was already dead.I don't know if what happened now was huge enough to kill him; there were patches of bruises all over his body, but on closer inspection, the wounds didn't look fresh.My gaze turned to his legs, and it was tied up. This isn't what I was thinking, right? I looked around, hoping to see who set this up, but I didn't see anyone."The game is on Tomas," I whispered to myself."Clear this out," I ordered my men. * * * * * * * * * * * *I fell on the bed the minute I entered the room, and I was exhausted thanks to the bastard that pull
