LucyPain that's the first thing I can register. Pain all over my body and mostly on my neck. My eyes shift around behind my closed lids as I fight to open them. I need to wake up but it seems so impossible to do. I shift in and out of unconsciousness till my eyelids finally flatter open. The bright light blinds me making me squint my eyes shut. “ Wake up baby.” His voice cools. I feel his large hand holding my smaller and the sparks that ignite tell me exactly who it is. I groan and finally open them. My gaze shifts around the room and I instantly know I am in the hospital. To say I am surprised is an understatement. “ Ho..” the pain in my neck was so intense that instantly stop talking. Maya winces inside of me she too feels this pain and it hurts her that she can't heal from it. I close my eyes and I feel my tears drop on the sides of my face. “ Hey, it's going to be okey. It's going to be okey.” Kayden comforts me his voice so soft that my heart instantly melts. A sob escap
LucyThere is commotion inside the pack house and it has caused so much noise most pack members just want to see what is going. It's the kind of noise or gossip that even if you knew how to mind your own business you would still get swayed and rocked into this boat. Kayden lets out a deep powerful growl. Pack members move away instantly. He is like a ticking bomb and any time it's going to explode. He sets me down gently even though his whole body is shaking. I put my hand on his back to calm him down. ‘ This is my fight, let me take care of this.’ I tell him. If I don't Lexi will always pick on me. ‘ No it was never your fight to begin with. I am the one who brought Lexi in my life and I should be the one to solve this. I don't care. I thought being close to her would have let me know what kind of poison they used on my mate as she seems to have a lot of information but I was wrong so wrong.’ He reasons. Kayden sets his hard gaze on Lexi and she squirms under the intensity of the
Can you give me time to think about it?’ He nods, his shoulders sag but doesn't say anything. ‘ I don't want you doing this simply because you want to save me or something like that.’ I add. . He tilts his head as he looks at me like really look at me. He scoffs, “ You would seriously think like that. What do you take me for?” He sounds more hurt than anything. I continue to play with his hair, ‘ I am sorry, I just..’ I can't even complete the sentence cause now I know just how absurd I had sounded. “ Never think that I only want to mark you because I want to save you. I have always wanted to do so but our relationship has been up and down. I think this is a perfect time.” I simply nod, ‘ let me think about it then.’ He groans, “ Damn I see what you are doing?” He says. His lips are turned up in a small smile. The smile is too contagious. I smile too, only mine is devious. ‘ What am I doing?’ I wiggle my eyebrows at him.“ Oh, I know, playing hard to get.” He bends over and
“ Are you sure about this? Cause once I mark you, you are mine forever.” He asks his breath fanning my neck.‘ I am sure, mark me, Kayden Grey, I am ready to be yours forever.’ I reply softly. He growls the sound only making me go into overdrive. He suddenly stands up and steps out of the bathtub. I look at him questioningly. He simply shrugs and doesn't say anything else. He scoops me out of the water carrying me into his strong muscular arms. He effortlessly walks back to the bedroom. He makes it seem like I weigh nothing. He chuckles which lets me know he heard my thoughts. I scowl at him and then roll my eyes. “ You really don't weigh anything.” He says with a sly smirk on his sexy lips. I huff, and he gently lays me on the bed. I sit up and look at him expectantly. We are both still very much naked. “ If I have to do this I have to do it right. It wouldn't have been safe for me to mark you in the bathtub.” He explains finally. Which is very much reasonable. He snakes near
Lucy It's Sunday afternoon when I knock on Mandy’s door. She answer the door all to quickly squealing she hugs me, the hug isn't right as her belly restricts her. “ The pup has really grown.” I comment looking at her belly. “ When are you due?” “ Three to four weeks. Come in.” I enter her home and it's as cosy as it was the last time I was here. It feel like such a long time has passes due to the many events that had happened over the past days. “ I can see that your voice is back!” She squeals once more. I laugh my lips turning up in a soft smile. “ Yeah…” my reply is short. My cheeks warm up when I remember exactly what transpired when my voice returned. “ I can see that you even look and smell different. This is huge, you are our Luna officially. Kayden has finally marked you!” Her eyes are wide as she stares at me. I groan, “ Well I guess it was time.” She rushes to give me another hug embracing once again. “ I am so happy for you!” Her smile lights up her beautiful face
Lucy Tell me where you are? I text back. I don't know why I felt compelled to ask that question and I more than anything want to see her answer. Hidden in the underground tunnel built at my old pack. I gotta go, some is coming. Just like that I can't text her anymore and if I text her I might put her in danger. But why the sudden change Lexi has always hated me but now she texts me like we have always been friends. “ So tell what that witch has said?” Megan demands immediately. I hand over my phone and she reads the texts. “ This bitch is the biggest lair, there are no tunnels at Darkmist.” “ But what if they are there but hidden?” She shakes her head dismissing the issue. “ Trust me there is nothing down there. I know Darkmist like the back of my hand there is nothing.” “ Which park was Lexi from originally? Has she always been a Darkmist member?” I choose to change my line of questioning. “ All I know is that she was part of Darkmist if there is any other pack then I woul
A date!” He frowns, “ Yes a date. Why are you surprised?” I roll my eyes and his eyes narrow with a warning, “ It's just you have never asked me on a date before.” “ That's why I am asking now. So will you go?” I glance at his chest, his heart beats wildly as he waits for my answer. He has me cocking my head and staring into his captivating eyes. Why would he be nervous when they are already marked and mated? “ Of course I will go.” He heaves out, a sigh of relief. An amused smile dances on my lips, “ did you think I would refuse?” “ Of course, because I am doing this after we are together. Instead of doing it before.” “ Who says there is an order to this?” “ The universe I guess.” is his cocky reply. I chuckle until my breath hitches when I feel his lips capturing me mine. He pulls away quickly. “ I needed to steal one at least.” His ears hit up again and I giggle at his reaction. This is a side of Kayden that I never got to experience and that I am, it's just the best
The band plays in front of us and we watch them play. I don't know what band it is but their music is captivating, it has all of us entertained. “ They are so good, what band is this?” I ask Kayden who is standing beside him. I look ahead listening to the blend of beautiful melodies. “I also don't know. I can't even remember the last time I attended this festival.” “ They are still beautiful, the lead singer is so hot.” Kayden growls right beside him. It's low but loud enough for me to hear it. I smile holding back a chuckle. “ What, you don't think he is hot?” He simply rolls his eyes. “ I know what you are playing at Lucy.” He simply says. This time I chuckle. “Jealousy much,” I comment. My lips turn up into a smirk. We both glance at each other. His look is murderous, making me chuckle once more. I take his hand in mine. “ You look cute when you are jealous.” He frowns, “Men ain't even cute. They are handsome. So I am cute while he gets to be the hot one. I am touched.”
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
