Lucy “ What do you mean trouble in paradise?” I sigh, I am still in shock from what happened in my room a few minutes ago. I reach for the food that Ace left behind for me. If I am going to have this conversation with mum then I will need all the energy I can get. I begin to munch on the food, and mums still have some pieces of the meat that are in the packet. I glare at her and she simply shrugs her shoulders. “ Ace is the troubled mum!” I whine. She chuckles, “ I miss those days when your dad used to trouble me a lot. It was hard for him to get me to like him but when we did gosh it was everything.” She has dreamy look in her eyes and I roll mine. “ Mum we are talking about me here!” I scold her. “ Oh sorry, back you, my love.” I smile, “ that's more like it.” “ You were right about Ace,” I say. She squeals happily and when she sees that she is the only one squealing she stops instantly. “ Well, ain't you happy he likes you?” She asks as she observ
Kayden I don't know why but I enjoy teasing Lucy. Seeing her face scowl gives me a certain type of joy I can't explain. Her reactions make me want to tease her more its why I can't stay away from her even if I want to. There is just something about her. And then there is Lexi. She is a good woman, a good she-wolf. She is a wonderful mate too but teasing her isn't as fun as it is with Lucy. “Stay away from my mate!” Her claim and command didn't sit very well with me. Maybe if she telling some other girl I wouldn't have minded but the fact that she was telling Lucy. I felt uneasy. I shifted from one foot to the other. I waited I needed to hear what Lucy’s answer would be, I was dying to hear it. Will she fight back or not? “Gladly.” She stated as she continued to walk away. I sigh, this is... I don't know even know how to describe it. “ Babe!” “ Shut the fuck up. You don't have any right to tell pack members to say away from me like that. What if she has a p
Lucy Breakfast is awkward, the atmosphere is too tense you could cut through it with a knife. “ The meal is good isn't it?” Xavier asks breaking the silence that sat among us. “ Yeah, it's very good,” I say my turning into a nervous smile. Kaydens continues to eat quietly not bothering to engage in conversation with us. He looks distracted. “ So Kayden, how did you sleep?” Xavier asks casually. He lifts his cup and takes a sip of his hot coffee. He closes his eyes briefly as he savors the wonderful taste. He enjoys coffee, no doubt. “ I slept fine until your voices woke me up.” He answers, his voice is edgy. Looks like something crawled up his man pants and now he is in a bad mood. I continue to eat, the last thing I want is to engage in conversation with him. Besides Lexi told me to stay away from him and that is what I will do STAY AWAY. Note the sarcasm. “ Sorry about that. My friend Lucy came to tell me about private issues.” Xavier defends. I
Lucy “ How come you always look depressed after talking to Alpha Kayden?” I stop in my tracks as I think about Xavier's words. He does have a point it's sad I never noticed it myself. “ I guess he is just a depressing person.” Xavier shakes his head, “ I don't agree, I have spent so much time with Kayden as well. He isn't a bad man.” I remain silent, this makes things a bit different. I know he didn't say those words simply because Kayden is the alpha but rather because he has just observed him. “ Well, he is depressing to me.” I defend. Xavier shakes his head once more his shoulder-length black locs bouncing with each shake. “ It's just a sign.” He states. I raise my brows, “ what sign?” “ That you need another man who won't be making you depressed every time you talk to him.” My mouth hangs open. I am so tired of everyone telling me what I need and don't need. It's moments like these that I wish Stacy was here so I could vent to her but my last mem
Kayden Lucy’s words linger on my mind. I don’t know what to believe anymore. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Lexi is cheating. I haven't touched her since we got here and every time I try, an image of the woman I dislike in this pack appears. “ Max you can't attack someone like that do it right this time!” I scold one of my warriors. “ Yes, alpha.” He continues to attack and my mind strays once more. Can Lexi really be cheating? Or doesn't Lucy just want to destroy my relationship with Lexi simply because the mating ceremony is in a few days? I can't trust Lucy’s words anyway. I know she may only want to say something that will benefit her in the future. I continue to walk around as I observe the warriors. Watching them one by one assessing those who have improved and those who haven't. Even as I move I can feel her eyes on me. I know she watching me and my body feels like fire where ever her eyes touch. I groan, it's hard to pretend like I don't feel it when
Lucy Sometimes you would wonder if hardships are tailor-made for you. Not that I have any right to complain when most of the hardships are the consequences of my bad decisions. Days have been rushing, probably rushing to the mating ceremony. Only two days are left and the whole pack is running wild. It feels weird to me that I am not the only one organizing anything. I was so used to being the seer of such events and now I am not. Yet again it's better this way. What is worse is organizing your ex mates new mating ceremony when you want him to. Sparing me both the trouble and heartache. “ Lucy!” My young bro Justin call and I focus my gaze on him. “Yes.” I say as I tuck in one my wild love behind my ear. “ Were you even listening to me?” He asks, he looks concerned. “ Yeah Justin I am.” I lie. I didn't hear anything. “ So what do you think?” He asks as he gives me an expectant look and a warm smile. My eyes shift around as I don't even know what to say. He got me here, what d
Lucy “ What rumors?” I ask just to be sure. It seems like there are a lot of stories circulating about me that even I am not aware of. “ That you are working with rouges.” He presses. I roll my eyes, “ don't roll your eyes at me!” He snaps as he fists his large palm. “ Okey alpha,” I drag out his name deliberately. He narrows his eyes into slits and I give him a nervous smile. “ I ain't working with any rouges besides I told you the reason why I was visited by one the last time,” I say quietly. The memory still hurts, Stacy is the best friend I will ever have and now she hates and blames me for how life turned upside down. He runs his fingers through his hair. It seems to have grown out from the way he usually keeps it. Even so, he still manages to pull off a sexy look. He repeats the action yet again and I can't help but check him out. I wish I has a camera to freeze this moment in a picture. I bite my lips and he groans as he looks away. I roll my
Lucy The big day is finally here and I am shivering like no man's business. It ain't even my big day but seeing that the man I wanted to reconcile with is mating with another is heartbreaking. I think it's high time I listened to the advice that mum and Xavier have been trying to tell me but am too stubborn to get the memo. I breathe in some air as I try to fix my hair it's not even my day why do I have to look nice for this? I am adorned in a simple flared black polka dot dress and some sandals. Overall I can say I look very nice but I feel weird as I am used to my usual t-shirt and jeans style or at least shorts. My long thick black hair is perfectly styled and I made sure to apply some makeup. Too much effort if you ask me on a day that surely ain't mine neither do I want to attend it but it's not like I have a choice. The ceremony is going to be held at Grand Square the first thing that will take place is the joining of two packs together and the next is the mating ceremony so
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
