Luka's POV“Are you going somewhere, Sir?” Alfred asked me after I told him to get the car ready.“I don't see why my movement is any of your business Alfred,” I said, taking a sip from the coffee cup inhis hand. He had made it for me before he left. He knew I liked it black and bitter. “I am sorry Your Majesty,” he said, sounding more than a little guilty. “Please allow me to driveyou wherever you are going, if you would like.”“You are the last person who should be asking,” I told him bluntly.He shrugged and took a deep breath, “Fair enough” he said. “But may I ask just where you plan on going? It is not far from here toyour castle. The weather forecast predicts heavy rain for later this evening.” He looked down at his watch and then back up at me. His eyes were filled with concern. I didn't want to make him sad. He was only trying to help me.He had been of most help to me since Emily.But I didn't want him to know that I was going to see Elena.I took the car and as usua
Luka’s POV“What do you mean by that?” I asked her, trying to keep the panic I felt from showing on my face. Was he okay? What could happen to him? And more importantly, what would I do?She looked at me “If I were you I would go home now King Luka. We can have this conversation some other time” she said standing up from her seat “It looks like that rain won't hold long anyway”She took another sip from her wine glass before putting it on the table next to her chair before walking towards the door. She just dismissed me like she was talking to a child but that wasn't my concern at that moment.I don't know what crazy game this woman was playing with me but I sure knew that I had to go back and see what was happening in the castle and if everything was fine, then I would come back here and give her some serious tongue-lash- no heavens and the goddess knew I would definitely give her more than that, there was no way I was going to let go scour free from playing games with me- no frea
Luke’s “Were you dancing?” I tried not to sound too amused as stared at her in the kitchen.Her eyes darted everywhere around as if she was searching for an escape route from me, before settling on the sink as she quickly ran water over a sponge and started wiping it down with another one. She seemed nervous as hell about this whole situation but didn’t seem inclined to tell me anything. I would never understand how people managed to go a whole day without talking.“I didn't mean to trespass, I just wanted to eat something and I didn't want your maids to be mad at me”Her voice was quiet.That was definitely something that hadn't happened before, so that's when my curiosity got the better of me. “My maids? why will they be mad?” I took a seat across from her at the small round table near the kitchen door and put my elbows on it, resting my chin on top.She looked back at me before looking away again like the idea of actually facing me made her uncomfortable somehow. I sighed, trying
Unknown POVJust like the people who were paying us asked, I I still watched them waiting patiently for when to hatch my plan on them but no time seemed perfect enough, they were fighting and making up immediately and it happened too fast for me to do anything.So I focused on chaos- creating chaos.I needed to work with the distraction so I attacked those unsuspecting children in the next pack, leaving them dead in the woods.The werewolves wouldn’t see what was coming for them.I saw what their death did to the leader of that pack, I watched how overworked they were about it. They searched all areas and looked for all signs but all I did was laugh.I could only laugh, there was no way they were going to find me, no way.I could tell how infuriated their King was and the people had this permanent look of fear in their eyes, they were unsure of so many things and it gladened my heart.Father should see this right now, he ought to and maybe just maybe he would be proud of me.After leav
Luka’s POVMy Wolf growled and groaned in my head too many times that I didn't need a fortune teller to let me know that something was off.Something was terribly wrong and Alfred wasn’t back.Where was he? Was there an accident on his way back? Had he gotten lost at somewhere? He had never been away from the castle for this long before but today seemed to go on forever. “Your Majesty!” When of the guards ran towards me.I could see fear dancing in his eyes . “What’s going on? What is it?”I nodded to the servant who quickly fell on his knees in front of me.“Someone brought in Sir Alfred, he is covered in blood” The young man gasped out between pants.Blood? He shook his head, “He is unconscious, but he we are trying to get him awake but…” His voice dropped. “Where is he? call the doctors! call the healers right now” I yelled out.One of the guards rushed towards the door and called for someone. It would have been better if they were more specific, because it felt like I was ru
Luka’s POVI didn't know how to feel in the midst of all of this.It was strange, very strange to see him lying almost lifelessly on that bed, his once glorious skin looking very pale in comparison with the rest of the dark, bloodied sheets. His once silver hair was now a matted mess, stuck to his temples, and even when I took care of some of it, most of his hair fell out again right away. It was even worse to see the older woman who had raised me tremble as she cried beside him, her shoulders shook violently as if she couldn't hold herself together anymore.She looked absolutely terrified. The thought of it alone had me wanting to burst into tears as well. My throat constricted uncontrollably at the sight, my eyes filling up with tears too. How could things have turned out like this? How could he be lying here on that bed, so still, without making a single movement? Was he still alive?What was going on with us?Where was he going when it happened?“Do you think she's going to b
Unknown’s POVYou know how it feels when you win a trophy after coming first place? That was how I felt after taking out the old man. I spent the most of my time reminiscing about it and wishing that it was King Luka himself. I wanted to make his life more miserable than it already was.No matter how much he had refused to admit, his life was miserable. Everyone knew after the disappearance of his mate, he had fallen into a great state of depression and I was so proud of how much this was going to throw him off.We all knew how strong he was, all we needed for him was to loose focus and then we will sneak in and pounce on them. I wish I was the one who took his mate, I would have brought her head on a platter of gold and left it at his gate.I would have given anything to see the horror on his face, anything.It was an old news to my ears when the whole town knew about what had happened.Walking through it, I could hear the whisperings and the murmurings. They seemed even more afraid
Emily’s POV“I want to take part in the training lessons” I blurted out to Luke as we stood afar watching some of the men train together on an indoor track. He looked at me with his eyebrows raised and a quizzical expression that could only mean one thing. “You do? Why?” I blushed, looking away from him and down at my feet while fidgeting with my hands. “I don’t know… I just wanted to be trained and be able to protect myself” I mumbled quietly. Luke reached up and patted me gently on the shoulder with his hand before taking a step back, looking up into the air as if contemplating something. After several seconds he spoke. “Alright then, I suppose it won’t hurt too much to let you in for now, will it? But we will stop once it gets too intense, especially with your situation” His tone changed when he said the word ‘situation’. “Thanks, Luke” I smiled at him gratefully. We both knew exactly what he meant about me being in ‘a precarious position’. From afar I noticed the red-haired
Emily’s POV The King’s body was brought back and he was badly stabbed. The seer was trying her best to bring him back to consciousness and I just sat there crying. What if he died? And he never gets to see his child? Why did I lie that the child wasn't his? Currently sitting beside him on the bed, the seer said it was left for him to respond to the antidote or not. I needed more than that, I had been a crying mess for a while and all I wanted was for her to console me, I needed her to tell me that her antidote was going to work and not keep me in suspense. I took his hands into mine “Hey, I need you to wake up please, I am so sorry that I ran away, sorry I said that the child wasn't yours. Maybe when you wake up we will talk this over, because right now, we don’t have time. You need to tell me what to do. Please, wake up!” I cried, as tears poured down my cheeks again. His skin felt cool under my fingers. I felt guilty for hurting him. I should be the one waking up with a broken ar
Luka's POV I know the child was mine, it didn't make sense why Emily would want to hurt me so bad, was it payback? I couldn't tell. “They plan on attacking us tonight” the seer's voice broke through my thoughts. They are the group of Lycans led by their King and they conceal themselves with masks and dark magic but luckily for you, I have made antidotes that would help against their infected bites. You King Luka will get your allies from the outside world and my people and soldiers will get ready. We will move our women and children to the cave at the mountain top and the women who can fight will volunteer as soldiers as well” she continued, her calm and soothing tone calming the anger boiling in the pit of my stomach. “This new army that we have formed is strong enough to defeat them.” I nodded at her words, knowing she knew what I was thinking. Her eyes were sad but not apologetic or regretful, just sadder, tired. The whole town was thrown into total chaos, children and adults ali
Emily’s POV “You thought we were fools this whole time? you planned on what? keep using my brother? Do you know how much he cared about you? All you did was lie to us Sara!” Carolyn scoffed! “Your name is not even Sara” tears streamed down my face as I sobbed uncontrollably into my pillow. What had I done wrong to deserve the anger of these amazing people? Why do I always mess up good things? Why was Luka here? What brought him hear? “I am sorry, I panicked and got scared. I am sorry Carolyn. I didn't think I was ever going to see him again and I wasn't using anyone please” I pleaded. My voice was shaking from crying so hard. I don't know if I will be able to get out any words from my mouth now without crying. I heard a sigh come from the couch before she spoke again “Sara, I mean Emily, I understand why you panicked, but that doesn't excuse everything else” My heart stopped at the sound of her voice. “Right now you have two men out there to face and the last thing they want
Luka’s POV“They were a young couple and they got married and they started a generation of a new kind, the type that was special. Soon like generations, more came, and more left. We honestly thought they had gone into extinct until now. They can't be working alone, not after all this time. They had to be working with someone”Even after I had gone back to home from Lancha, those words kept replaying in my head, and I had nothing to say about them.I needed to find out who these special people were working with and why they were doing what they kept doing to our kind.Was there a previous problem before now? I needed to know.Now my sexual life has been suffering since I got back from Lancha. The thoughts of Emily filled my dreams and they were dreams of us having sex and I ended up masturbating more than I should.For example, last night I dreamt of thrusting into Emily aggressively until I could feel her body trembling beneath me. My cock felt like it was about to burst through my sk
Luka’s POV “I apologize for my people's stare, they are not used to seeing people from the outside world” Alpha Luke's voice broke through my thoughts as we were returning back to his home. He wasn't lying, the people's stare bore holes into my back and I could tell that I was not welcome there. They didn't appreciate my presence and they didn't fail to show it. “When was the last time you had someone from the outside?” I randomly asked. I didn't know why I did it and I probably would have regretted it if he noticed but something compelled me to ask. He paused in his trek before answering me “Months, we found a woman in the woods around our land, she was homeless so we gave her a place. “Didn't you think she was a spy or something?” I couldn't help but point out. It felt weird that they allowed some stranger on their land like that. Wasn't I also a stranger? “You should have seen her eyes, she looked too vulnerable. You'll get to meet her today at dinner. I've never seen anyone
Luka’s POV I was standing on the balcony when I saw a figure pass by immediately. I don't know what was crazier. The fact that this person had blonde hair or the fact that her smell had just hit me caused me to go through a wave of. Could it be? No! it couldn't right? I didn't realize when I started following the figure but the closer I got the more the smile persisted but there was no sign of any blonde hair anywhere. “Going somewhere?” A female voice called out and I came face-to-face with Princess Carolyn. She had a suspicious look on her face as she eyed me up and down. “Yes,” I answered in a small voice before I turned away. This was my fault for not checking who was around first! But I was so curious, I couldn't help myself. What if I really did find something interesting? Well, maybe. Maybe it's nothing at all. But I know what I had perceived. It had to be Emily. “I mean no, I… I just thought I saw someone there” I managed to answer as I quickly tried my best to regain
Luka’s POVEverything after the meeting was off. I could barely eat the food that was served.Something was going on and my Wolf felt it, it was howling and fighting inside of me, clawing its way out to take over. The wolf wanted a piece of this, a human would do as well. It was an urge that I tried to ignore. The wolf had always been there when I needed it, but it was only ever there if my life were in danger. But the more I thought about it, the more desperate I became for answers. My wolf was still there, but it wasn’t fighting anymore. It was just sitting there, waiting for me to make the next move. I knew what I had to do. It didn't help that I could smell her everywhere. Her scent lingered driving me more insane than ever before. I took in deep, deep breaths to try to get her scent out of my nose. But every time, all I smelled was her. She was so familiar, yet I hadn’t been able to find a trace of her since it happened. Not a scent nor a memory. Only her presence remained.The
Luke’s POV“Her blood pressure is very high, she hasn't been resting , her stress level is elevated and she will still be in danger if she continues” the doctor explained. “I don't know what it is but it's obvious she's struggling with the trauma from something in the past and postpartum depression isn’t helping either. It just seems like her mental health isn't getting any better either. I think we should put her on an antidepressant. Maybe a sedative too." The Doctor suggested.“For her long?” I insisted.“Just for today, so she gets to rest and heal. She needs it right now. She'll be fine tomorrow,” The doctor assured me as he walked out of the room and I took his place at the head of my bedside. I stroked her hair gently as tears rolled down her cheeks. She didn't respond but tears fell down her cheek.Who was this woman? What battles was she fighting? What trauma did she hide from us? Why was she afraid? Why didn't she trust us enough to talk about it?The door suddenly opened an
Emily's POVMy Wolf was restless. I don't know what was wrong but I knew something was going on. Something I couldn't place my hands on, right from the moment Luke came into my room to call Carolyn.My curiosity was driving me up a wall, so I left baby Luka in his crib for a few hours and ventured out of my room and stared at the stairs where I could smell a strange scent wafting across the room. It was sweet like honey or maybe lemon juice, and it smelled… How was that even possible? it wasn't possible. There was no way it was possible. Maybe it was just a coincidence but I wouldn't lie, a pang of nostalgia drove me into the past where I didn't want to go but needed too much information at once. And if my Wolf was uneasy, who could blame her?I returned to my room and pushed Luka’s crib back and forth gently. The scent got stronger and I had an urge to take a deep breath, a need I didn't want to feel so bad about.I finally decided to go down to the kitchen but the heat from when
