Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 75: Stolen Memories
I can tell many hours have gone by. I'm in a dark room, but I can't see anything else except the void. Jai-Blynn tied me to a chair with silver chains. I'm dressed in a tank top and shorts, sans my coat. The chilly weather is biting. There's blood all over my wrist and ankles. His traps are too tight. There's also wolf's bane is in my system. I can feel it. After meeting him at the hospital, I can't remember how I got here.There's someone in the room with me, though. My sense of smell is poor because of the effect of the Wolf's bane, but I can feel a presence in here. Where am I? I shut my eyes, trying to force the memories back, but I get nothing. It frustrates me.The door to the room opens. It disturbs the silence as it scrapes on the tiles beneath it. Someone flips the switch and light pours into the room. It's Jai-Blynn. He's still dressed in that all-black suit I saw him in. I scan the space. We are in a warehouse, but there are no windows in here. I glimpse the view outside the

ZEKE Earlier... A fucking day! She's been gone the entire day and I can't find her. I knew this was a terrible idea, but then, it was the only way to take her suffering away. I rake a hand through my hair, pacing in my study, one end to another end. "Zeke." Drusila placates me with her voice. She's the only who can come this close to me when I'm this furious and won't get harmed. "Calm yourself. Jai-Blynn won't harm Marelyn. I have faith that he won't. Kyra and Aiden are look—" "Faith!" I toss a few papers on my desk to the floor, letting it rain them. "How does faith guarantee her safety, huh? Can your faith vouch that she's still alive?" I never let my anger get the best of me, but it's feeding off me in waves and I can't stop the fire. Marelyn knows how to call for me. She will do that. I know she will, but the wait is killing me. I can't sit here idling away while Jai-Blynn decides on killing Isolde and Marelyn behind my back. There's an ominous feeling in the pit of my stomac
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 77: The Things We Do
Two years ago...She's in the kitchen. She's cooking something that smells heavenly on the stove. I sneak up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist. She giggles, smiling hard at me. I can't get over the gleam in her eyes. I've missed this. She snuggles into my hold, turning to face me. I kiss her lips slowly, like we have all the time in the world to do this. "How's my gorgeous pregnant wife doing?" She can't stop smiling even if she tries. "Shh. Someone might hear you."We found out we were pregnant yesterday and kept the news a secret. Scarlett won't tell her family, and I won't tell Drusila. No one except the two of us knows what's coming. Our baby."I'm on top of the world, Letty. You did that." I lie while planting another kiss on her lips. She can't know what my real thoughts on this matter are, or she'll never forgive me. I will try my hardest to make her smile last. I might even discover how to make it permanent. Who knows?"I'm happy, too. There's so much I want to do
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 78: It Stays Between Us
I get down from her car and follow her up a short stairs leading to the entrance door of a town house lined with flowers. Alexis doesn't respond. She turns the key in the lock and the door opens. I follow her in. Her house is warm and neat. I expect to feel like I'm in a witch's home, but there are no cauldrons and potions lying around."You play baseball?" I ask, picking up the bat at the corner next to the bookshelf. There's a signed ball locked away in a see-through box in between the books in the middle row.She breezes in and out of the kitchen, and passes me in the living room with a reply. "Why? You think witches only fuck with brooms and spells? I have a life, you know?"I drop the bat, rubbing a hand over the back of my neck. She's right. Apart from being a wolf, I have a perfectly built life in this city as well. It's the same for everyone else. Deserters, and even those back in Carodia. There's more to life than what we are.I turn to the only framed photo on the wall. It's
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 79: Running To You
A few minutes later..."Don't even think about lying, Alexis." I stand, moving closer. "Marelyn's not dead. She can't be dead, right?"Alexis taunts me with her silence. She can see it's eating me away on the inside, but she doesn't think I deserve to be put out of my misery so easily."Say something, for crying out loud. This wasn't the plan!""I'll answer you in a few. I just want to understand other things first," she says.My hand rakes through my hair as I pace in small circles. I need to know if Marelyn is alright. I can't possibly imagine the other option being the case."What kind of game are you playing, huh?" I grab the nape of her dress and tug her towards me. She's glowering at me and breathing hard. This isn't how partners should treat themselves, but she gave me no choice.Alexis struggles to pull my hand away. "Let go of me!""Tell me. Now!"She flares her nostrils, hesitating for moments. "What if I told you there's a slight chance Scarlett Burns is still alive?"I free
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 80: One Dead Witch
He's gone. The space carries an eerie silence for minutes. I don't stand from my place against the chair because I'm staring at Isolde's dead body, wondering if I did the right thing. I should have stopped him from finding the Celtic Isle. Even after everything, my heart wanted to show him mercy, but Jai-Blynn will come back stronger. When he does, I can only hope Zeke and I will be strong enough to destroy him. I hold my stomach, also hoping I haven't put our unborn baby in harm's way by letting him off scot free. I have another worry. Jai-Blynn is not a pure blood. Carodia was never his home. He will come for the land the moon goddess built for her werewolves. A land he has no ties with. I know greed drives him, but the reason he's willing to go this far still beats me. Jai-Blynn said he wants revenge against Zeke because of me, but what about everything else? I exhale. It's over, but it's not really over. I pull myself up and walk to where Isolde is lying lifeless. Her eyes are s

"If they haven't already learnt their lesson, I'll be waiting for round two. Take care of this, Aiden."Zeke surprises me by locking our fingers in one fluid motion and tugging my hand after him. He doesn't stop and I don't ask him to, but that thought still lingers in my mind. The end of the woods comes closer. Aiden takes the car on his mission, so we go our separate ways. Zeke and I hitch a ride on the lonely road and head into the city while it's still snowing.It's an old truck transporting chickens in its covered cargo bed. The elderly man in the driver's seat is less concerned about us. He's the only person I've seen who does not recognise the popstar, Zeke, at first sight.I turn to Zeke, glancing at where our hands are still joined. "Can we talk?""After I snap the necks of these chickens behind us, sure, why not?" The rakish smile he spares takes my breath away. I'm hypnotised. It widens as he raises our locked hands and kisses the back of my palm. "I'm just kidding, but I wi
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 82: Christmas Eve
**********************ZEKEShe's still taking a shower, but the news reports have just said the roads are no longer usable because of the heavy amounts of snow falling over the city. We will need to improvise and find another way to make this night special. I have an idea, but first, I must extract Marelyn from the suite as fast as possible.I place the bags from the thrift store across the street on the bed. Marelyn comes out wearing a robe. It's hard to just watch. My body's not thinking about anything else except touching her and feeling her softness where I'm hard."Hey.""Step out for a bit. Let me change." Marelyn places her hand on my chest, aiming to guide me out of the room, but that plan fails in epic proportions.I tug slightly on the robe's adjustable belt. We are standing so close now, after I took advantage of the moment. Thighs against Thighs. The only thing keeping me from her curvy body is this goddamned fabric. She can tell jus

Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 158: Epilogue
I'm standing at the window edge of a hallway in the fortress. Everyone that passes greets their Alpha with a bow. Today is the exertion of the verdict I passed over all those involved in my mother's death. I took her skull down from where it was hung and finally gave her a befitting burial. Chantria Van Acker, after being tried for my mother's death and King Nikolai's death, was sentenced to death. Her execution is today, and Zane doesn't try to stop it. I knew he went to see her one last time at the dungeons last night, but she's his mother. Will that ever be enough? Hours later, Aiden hands me a platter. I open it and find Chantrias head. The last thing I can do for my mother is to replace her skull with that of the person who put her there. I tell him where to leave the human head until it decomposes, and only a skull is left. My brother stops by to see me in my chambers that evening. He doesn't seem angry that I had given the order for her death. She had killed Father, too. It
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 157: Who Will Be King?
ZEKE Again, fire and water will stand against each other. I don't know what the outcome of this fight will be. In my head, I know what I want, but I can't tell exactly what my brother is thinking. It was his idea to do this. I'm not so sure why I even agreed. Revenge doesn't matter anymore. Once I looked into my daughter's eyes, all the pain I felt melted away. I healed. Mare couldn't let go of me all through the night. She was stuck to me like glue because she feared this moment. She feared losing me. My life is finally coming together. I fear losing it, too. The arena roars wild. The entire wolf lands are watching King Nikolai's sons make history. I'm already a record breaker, and he's their king. This fight will have them all at the edge of their seats. The gong goes off and shirtless as we are, dressed in nothing but shorts we fight to the death. I cast an illusion of a cloud over his head, and constant rain falls on only him in the arena. Zane is furious that I'm drenching
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 156: Love Is Pain—Kyra and Zane
KYRA I'm storming into his chambers in Moon Wood's fortress. I just learnt the news of a battle between legacies. There are only two legacies I know apart from evil Jai-Blynn. All of Carodia believes the king has gone mad for wanting to fight his brother, who took down an entire pack and turned them to dust. Zeke Van Acker has gained a name for himself in the city, but that is still far from my point. How could he do this to me? We talked the second our boat arrived at the harbour. Actually, we did less talking and more physical activities for the first few hours after meeting again. I was so sure Marelyn and I made the right choice after spending time with him again. My wolf couldn't stop pining for him, but it seems I'm the only one who felt that way. How could he do this us? Zane says after I barge in, "I know you are angry. Kyra, calm down—I can't believe they just let you walk through easily." "It's not news to anyone, including your other mates, that we are together, Zane.

"That child and I can't exist at the same time on this earth, Mare." "Why, Jai?" I frown, calculating the distance with my eyes. I make a jump for it and shield Kinna from his attack with my body. Summoning my powers, I struggle to get a hold of his mind, but the calibre of power coming out of him is not to be underestimated. Now I realise he wasn't kidding back then in that warehouse. "Your little bloodline powers won't work on me. But Mare, you are no longer my concern. Give me your champion, and you can walk away from this alive." I'm shocked that he's willing to bargain. There's something he knows that none of us do. Something that makes this moment more important to him than ever. I scream hard. "Never!" The force of my voice hits him, but he only staggers back by a step, and I had really mustered up strength with that move. How powerful is he really? "Angering me will only make the terms worse, Marelyn!" "You can kill me, but not my child, Jai. I will never let you touc

ZEKE A Day Earlier... I'm standing in front of the mirror, feeling for my now thick beards. It's a new look I've been sporting. Just yesterday, the action series I starred in aired, and the viewing ratings were through the roof. It's a hit. I've always had blockbusters where I starred as the villain, but never have I been portrayed from a protagonist's point of view in one of them. It's unreal. What's also unreal is what tomorrow is. I know Marelyn is due tomorrow. My chest tightens like every other time I've stared at the date or thought about it. I've been distant. I never showed up for our daughter, but it all got to a point where I considered myself unworthy of being in their lives. She may be happy in Carodia with her date from before. Maybe it fleshed into something more. I can't tell, but it's been bugging me at the back of my mind for months. Scarlett helped me understand what those random slip-ups meant over time. Everything is clear to me now. I stare at my reflection

I don't realise that the doorknob has come off. I stare at the piece in my hand. It broke off, but my mind is fixed on their conversation. She's dating now. It's been just two weeks, and she promised that wasn't goodbye. My jaw clenches impossibly in anger. Finding a new path. Bullshit! I block out their voices and lock myself in my study. I throw my head back over the headrest of the desk chair, blowing out my cheeks. So far, the day has been terrible. I'm nervous. I want to storm into Carodia the next second and restructure the idiot fling's face. She's mine. She's fucking mine! The broken doorknob sits on my desk because I don't know what to do with it yet. Suddenly, my mind is made up. I stand on my feet and head to my bedroom. I open my suitcase on my bed, swiping clothes off the rack in the walk-in closet and dropping them inside it. It's easy not to overthink it. But soon, there's a knock on the open door, calling my attention. Scarlett is holding the broken doorknob, eyein
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 152: Finding A New Path
I've been showing up for appointments with the pack doctor at Blue Silver for the past two weeks since I arrived. He's not who I used to know, and his name is Xavier Scythe. When Ava refused to take me in because of our last encounter, Xavier showed Kyra and I a roof over our head. He is also the next catch as Kyra put it. She wants me to take on his advances and use him to forget all about Zeke. I try. I actually put in effort. He knocks at my door and I open it with a bright smile on my face. "Xavier, how are you?" His hands are locked behind him as he says, "I'm good. How are you?" Xavier runs a nervous hand over his sleeked back long black hair. It's tied up because of how impressively long his hair is. Xavier is a real catch. He's tall and looks hard all over, like a man should, but I don't get that spark from looking at him or anyone else that's not Zeke. Maybe Kyra is right. My world does revolve around only him. "The Blue Silver carnival is coming up. Would you like a p

MARE I see how worried he is. I'm not saying he shouldn't be, but it's another cold truth. She's his forever. I'm the intruder, and I have no place here. We are at the hospital. Scarlett lost her wolf. She's like a human, so I guess that's why we are all concerned because she can't heal. Kyra says, "How can she do this? Overdosing because she wants attention. Jeez." "We don't know that." Drusila chips in from across the waiting room. We are the only ones here at the moment, but it's a hospital people can arrive at any time. Unfortunately, Kyra seems pissed about spending her night here. Zeke is with the doctor. "I'm going to grab a snack." I stand on my feet without glancing at any of them. They still remember how I just cried my eyes out because Zeke made his choice. Now I'm sitting here watching him care for someone else like I wish was only just for me. It's still pure torture. Kyra joins me at the vending machine. I get a chocolate bar while she gets a bag of cheetos. At
Addicted To The Legacy Alpha Chapter 150: Breaking Point
************************** My eyes crack open. Daylight shines into my room, but I'm still stuck in last night's pack gathering. Zeke wanted a son who would challenge Zane's throne. A female Alpha will never be accepted to lead Carodia. I'm sad for other reasons than Scarlett. My happy ending keeps drifting far and far away. I wonder if he's angry with me. If this will change everything. Maybe he will finally realise that he won't gain anything from me because I can't even give him a proper heir. I will love our daughter with everything in me because she's a product of our great love. I take a shower, anxious about joining the rest downstairs. Will they see me as a failure? I couldn't protect the first heir, and now I've given them a child they can't accept. A while later, I cross Kyra and Aiden in the hallway, just above the stairs. She spares a broad smile, looking over her shoulder at me. "Hey, Mare! I can't wait to meet our princess."
