Lucy Kayden and Lexi are seated across from mum and I in the kitchen. It’s quiet for some reason as no one says a word yet. Lexi manages to glare at me every passing second while her hand is clasping onto Kaydens that’s on the island table. I wanna get upset and glare back but mum's words ring in my head. LET HIM GO. I begin to chant the words like a mantra hoping it summons some kind of spirit to help me let him go and watch him be happy with another woman. The words don't sit right with me even as I chant them every passing second. My mood is only turning sour so I change the words to... YOU DONT DESERVE, HIM HE DESERVES BETTER. That mantra only makes me want to grab something and break it. ‘Break Lexi’s face’ Mara urges, her tone is so lethal I almost shiver. ‘No!’ I shout back, ‘remember mum's words, we have to let him go, we dont deserve a man like him.’ I say them more to myself than my wolf. The words sound absurd and taste sour on my lips. I can'
Lucy My eyes were wide open I couldn't believe who was standing right in front of me. I never once believed I would see her again. Not after what Kayden told me. Stacy's are solemnly focused on me, she watches me stand up from my bed and walk closer to her. The scent of a rouge coats the room, it hangs in the air. It's hard to miss it. If it was anyone else I would have shifted and attacked but the person standing right in front of me is my best friend. I move closer to her while she remains standing. The closer I get the more I observe how different she looks. She doesn't look like the soft Stacy that would practically break anymore. She looks strong like she has always been a fighter. “Stacy..” I speak breathlessly. She regards me with a wild look dashed with hate. I refrain from getting closer, she is a rouge after all and rouges are unpredictable. “ Lucy.” My name sounds like an insult coming from her lips. I flinch not expecting it. I am at a loss for words
Lucy A whole week has passed since everything. I have tried to lay as low as possible, not much has happened except the fact I have gotten quite close to the guy I met at the dinner the night that Kayden announced his new mate. The full moon is in three weeks and I don't wanna think about what Kayden said too much. Not after the promise I made to mum. Lexi is good for him not me. “ Lost in thought once more?” Ace asks. I am startled for a second as I snap out of whatever trance I was in. “Huh?” He smiles, his smile lighting up his honey-brown eyes. I can help but be in awe. “ I wonder what goes on through that mind of yours.” Ace comments. I shrug, I ain't sure what answer to give him. I don't even think he wants to know what answer is on my mind. We are the only two in the living room of the pack house. Which is surprising cause the pack house is always busy, and I steer clear of busy places. “Trust me you don't wanna know,” I reply after being silent f
Lucy Kayden is angry as he drags me out of the pack house. The scene slowly begins to grab the attention of pack members. The attention I don't want. I don't even know what he will do to me as he drags me along. His grip on my arm is tight and it sends delicious shocks throughout my body. I gasp, he notices but chooses to ignore my reaction completely. Being this close to him is messing with my mind. How can I think straight when the strong manly musk scent engulfs my whole body like a cacoon? I try to be defiant and fight his hold on me but he exerts his powerful aura and his grip tightens. “ W..what will you do to me?” The panic in my voice is thick. My eyes are wide as they dart to the pack members who have seized whatever they were doing to watch the scene in front of me. He stops suddenly and I go crushing into him before he pushes me away like I am some kind of plague. A powerful growl escapes his lips. He acts as though me close to him burnt him. How lo
Kayden My wolf Jax is angry with me. He has a softer heart than mine. I don't blame him not when he still feels the sparks every time we touch her. I find myself wanting reasons to touch her just to feel the sparks that I will never feel with Lexi. Why do I do it? Even I don't know sometimes it's easier to blame it on Jax like at the hospital it was partially my fault too but in the office, it was all mine. I couldn't even blame Jax even if I wanted to. It's been a day since she has been at the poll on the leash. Each hour Jax begs me to let her out but I shut him out each time. He refuses to acknowledge her as our ex-mate to him she is still our mate. The concept of rejection just doesn't sit right with him. ‘Please Kayden remove her from there our mate is suffering.’ Jax begs in my head once more. ‘She ain't our mate!’ I snap back at him. At least not anymore. ‘ You have to accept that she rejected us she didn't want us.’ ‘ How sure are you she doesn't want us now?’
Lucy Everything is going okey until I hear the sound of thunder and the clouds suddenly shift, it’s suddenly darker than it was before. The weather here is somewhat unpredictable sometimes. This day couldn't get any worse. As if chained to a pole ain't enough it had to rain and I doubt that bitch Lexi will let anyone let me out of here. I can’t even count on Kayden either not when he is wrapped around Lexi’s finger. Which reminds me of the words she last said to me. She thought she could just threaten me like that and get away with it. It ain't happening. But when did she find out or maybe she just said that to see my reaction? Mara begins to whimper, she has never been a fan of water let alone cold rainwater. The water slowly begins to wet our fur and it's slowly making me feel how cold it really is. The weather slowly picks up and the more it rains the hard it is for me to see. I really want to get out of here. I want to be somewhere warm or else if it continues like t
Lucy Xavier and I spent some time chatting it felt nicer, and more carefree than it was when we were in a position, back then we only ever talked about things that concerned the pack but now it's just random stuff. I feel like this is the quality time I missed out on. My heart hurts a little when I realize that I haven't spent much quality time with dad in such a long time. Spending time with my former alpha has made me see things from a different perspective. I am happy that Kayden brought me here. Rain continues to pour and I begin to wonder if I will spend the night here too cause it's slowly getting dark. I face-palm myself when I remember that I am supposed to assure mum, at least she deserves to know that I am okey for tonight. I open my mind and instantly reach out to her. “ Mum!” “Lucy! Lucy! ...why do you always have to shut us out. I have been worried sick when your dad tried to come set free you away with Ace, but you were not there. Where are you?!”
Lucy I am the at pole again tied up and it's sunny today. It's been two days now and it hasn't been easy. The meal I had with Xavier saved me a great deal of hunger. But my stomach is making summersaults of its own. Mara is restless and she keeps pacing around walking as far as the leash can allow. She doesn't like being tired down, she would rather be running in the forest. ‘Why is mate doing this to us?’ She asks. She sounds sad way too sad she can't comprehend what is happening, why it's even happening. ‘ It's not mate it's Lexi.’ ‘No Lucy it's mate!! He is the one that put us back here not her.’ She is heartbroken, how do I even explain it to her to make her understand? She watches everything that happens and to her, it's Kayden hurting her. Her restlessness is beginning to make me feel even more stressed than I should be. But how can you be okey if your other half isn't? It breaks me that for the first time I don't know what to say to calm her down. It's
Good, this fight is very much needed she thinks she can torment everyone I love simply because she can't have everything she has desired for in this life. I am tired of everyone having a say over my life. It's always me doing what is great for everyone else and never myself. I also deserve some happiness. Stacy glares at me harshly and her glare does nothing to scare me away. “ You really think you can take me down, Lucy.” She taunts me with the largest annoying smirk on her lips.Carefree I reply, “Easy peasy lemon squeezy.” That sure infruates her more when she passes me another nasty glare. Raymond is still passed out on the ground and doesn't look like he will be waking up any time soon. “ Do I need to stick around?” Kayden asks me. “ Not necessary, just finish off Raymond.” I command and passes me a curt node. Stacy growls at my words and she tries to make a dash for it to save Raymond. She fast but I am faster. I grab the collar of her shirt and throw her away from Raymon
Kayden Hours before reaching the pack. The tunnels are dark but with my sharp eyesight. I find it easy to navigate through. I follow Aiden’s lead; he seems to know these tunnels well. The only sound in the tunnels is the sound of our footsteps. The warriors follow right behind as we run at an incredible speed. Soon the darkness fades into light as we make it out of the dark tunnels only to find ourselves near Lucy’s house. Talk about it being Weird, it makes more sense and adds up to how Stacy was able to come and go in the pack as well as Ace. My biggest mistake was not finding out how they did it. I just blamed the patrol team. The chaos in the pack pumps me to shift and everyone follows. Jumping into the action, I give Jax all the control. He runs in a blur as he takes down most of the affected pack members who have turned into ugly monsters. ‘Don't kill everyone, most of them are our pack members. And I don't want to lose any of us. If you can manage to sniff them out. I know
Raymond stands between Xavier and I. Xavier is still on the ground recovering from the fierce blow. He coughs up blood and my heart shatters. There is only one way this will work. “ I can take care of him, Xavier!” I shout to him and he shakes his head. He is one stubborn cone to crack. Raymond growls fiercely at me when I try to take a step forward. “ Let Xavier and the others go. I will fight you.” I demand confidently. Raymond sneers, “ I will let them go but that doesn't guarantee their safety in the future.” It won't guarantee if I don't win this fight and the only way in doing so is by winning. “ I know but let them go. You have already done enough to them. Xavier is back on his feet though he limps as he moves to the truck. ‘ I will send some warriors to help you.’ He mind links me and I simply shake my head. ‘ I have taken down men bigger than him.’ I reply and he gives me a confident small smile. Like promised he makes it to the truck and the engine comes to life.
Lucy What to do? What to do? Our footsteps echo in the tunnels as we go to see just how bad the situation is. We make it to the room and everyone is passed out. Everything here is made out of metal and our footsteps are easily heard. We pace around as we think of what step to take next. Each time we waste things get even more fatal. “ Is everyone who was taken here?” I immediately ask Aiden. “ No, I believe the others have been turned into those monsters. She probably used the others blood to poison the rest while Raymonds blood was the main of it all.” He explains and we nod in understanding. Besides, it's the only explanation that seems to make sense at this point. Stacy is really a freak, when did she change to become this bad. All for what power? “ What are we going to do?” Our eyes go wide like saucers as we all stare at Kayden, not believing the words that left his mouth. “ Are you asking us what to do?” Aiden questions with enthusiasm. Kayden nods his head and our jaws
Everyone has my support well everyone except the most important person needed to give me and Maya the go ahead. This is a crucial moment and I know it. There is a possibility that Barbra won't accept what we want to do. It's her life’s son on the line. And every second we waste his condition worsens. “ We have to go ahead and find the others.” Kayden commands me. He hasn't taken into account that Barbra is a concern for me too. “ I can't go ahead as you say, not until the mothers’ boy is here. She has to agree too.” I inform him. Dad nods his head but Kayden doesn't. I don’t think this is a decision we will both agree on. “ I am sure she will understand. I am the Alpha after all. My word is law, and I say we go ahead and save the others. I will leave the antidote behind and when everyone is found the boy can be given.” “ That still isn't fair to the mother, Kayden. Yes, your word is law but as Luna this is where I come in and advocate for everyone else.” As we bicker back and f
Lucy I pull away from Kayden and he growls. “ Oh sorry!” Dad shouts and rushes right out. I must be mad but I continue until my mate gets his release, spilling his seed right in mouth.i swallow it all down and wipe away what is left on the side of my mouth. I sit on the floor and laugh, I have never been so embarrassed before out of everyone it had to be dad. Kayden laughs with me as he tucks in his dick. He lifts me off the floor and places me on his laps. “ I want to taste you right now but your dad is waiting for us.” He chuckles while he talks and I can't help but do the same. He places a kiss on my forehead and he stands up with me in his arms. “ Put me down!” I whine. He shakes his head, “ But I enjoy carrying my mate.” “ I ain't a pup Kayden.” He hums and ignores me altogether. He opens the door with his free hand and dad stands there waiting for us. He looks anywhere but at us. This has put all of us in an uncomfortable position. The atmosphere slowly grows tense.
The run back home was much better than getting here. It took us two days this time to get there than when going. We may not have gotten all the solutions but it was enough to give us a starting point. “ What's the status update?” I ask dad who remained in the pack to make sure everyone else was safe. “ Aiden and Xavier have not found the missing children.” Dad says with distress in his voice. I can understand him, being without his mate for days is taking its tow on him. The missing people have taken a tow on everyone and to make matters worse each person gets released every day into their monster form. Each day spent without finding Stacy is a day we turn an innocent child into a monster. “ Have you heard from Xavier?” Kayden asks dad and I wait for his response. “ No, I haven't heard anything from him.” Kayden and I sigh at the same time and we look at each other smirking and then shaking our heads. “ What info did you get from Megan?” We explain everything that Megan told u
“ What do you mean you don't have the answers we seek?” I ask after being quiet for such a long time. The shock wears off, my mind has been running wild, seeing Justin and mum in that state will be the end of me for sure. It all doesn't just make sense, Stacy has too many advantages over us and I begin to doubt if at all we will win this battle. Megan was my only hope and hearing her say these words doesn't sit well with me. “ I mean just that, Lucy. I don't have the answers you are looking for.” She states more firmly this time. She holds my gaze with her pale blue eyes, they look so pale I almost thought they were white. “ But we came all this way and travelled for three day without food and you tell us, you don't have any answers.” My voice comes out calmly even though a storm is raging inside me. “ But there is nothing I can do.” She doesn't waver with her answers. It's like everything I said just breezed through her. “ NO!” I spit, “ there is something you can but you don'
Lucy’s eyes go wide when she answers the phone. All of us in the room stall. It's so quiet you could hear a pin drop. “ Fuck you Stacy. This is between you and me. There is no need to involve innocent pack members.” Lucy sneers into the phone. I can't help but hold back a growl. Stacy and her mate need to be taught a lesson. The rest of us remain quiet as we listen to the conversation. “ You must be so naive if you think I am doing this because of you. What are you?” Stacy chuckles darkly. Lucy takes in a deep breath before asking. “ Then why are you doing this?” “ Let me just say for the same reason you once rejected your mate. I want the power that I once hard back but I don't need those pathetic park members when I can rule over great things.” Stacy states with a wicked laugher that's has me wanting to scratch my face. Lucy is now standing no longer laying on the sofa like she was some minutes ago. I try my best to stay calm, I can't ruin this maybe this might give is a clu
