ELLA’S POV

“Take her away!” I ordered, watching one of Alpha Leo’s men, pick up what was left of Lyra’s body, heaping her over his shoulder. Her weak hands flung side to side as they disappeared into the trees. I bent over picking up her cell phone. Jake was calling.

I felt a pang of jealousy in my chest causing me to slam her phone hard on the coal tar. “To hell with the both of you!” I spat, my chest heaving in anger as I stomped several times on her cell phone before sending it flying in the opposite direction the men had gone.

I sat by a huge tree trunk, trying to catch my breath. The sun had set and in no time everyone would be on the lookout for the both of us. What was I going to do? I hadn’t thought of an excuse. Why did she have to call Lisa? I grunted.

If Lisa hadn’t known I was with Lyra, it would have been easy to deny her whereabouts, now I have to think of something to take me off the suspect radar. I slammed my palm into my forehead in frustration. “Think Ella, think!”

  • BLOODLINE OF THE MOON    CHAPTER 64

    JAKE'S POVI could hear my heartbeat roaring in my ears as I walked out of the room, banging the door close behind me. Who could have wanted Lyra? Why would anyone think of kidnapping her? Selene had warned of someone or a force after her but the news of who she was had barely left the walls of the pack house. Somehow, something deep inside me pointed to Ella. She had begun to feel threatened by the discovery of Lyra's true identity. What if? “No! Ella wouldn't dare to hurt her.” I involuntarily muttered aloud. I mean, she can't match up to Lyra's strength. I shook my head as different thoughts clashed in my head. I marched to my room, picking up my cell phone from the bed where I had dropped it after the maid broke the news of Lyra's disappearance."Siri, call Damon," I instructed my virtual assistant. Time was of the essence at this point and we cannot afford to waste not even a second. My eyes involuntarily moved to my vintage wall clock hanging over my bed frame. "6pm," I mutte

    ELLA’S POVI winced in pain as I dabbed the open cut on my arm with cotton wool soaked with methylated spirit. The distant howl of the trackers echoed through the night making my chest beat faster. I had been looking out through the window all night, fear gripping me. What if they find something? Though I had instructed Leo's men to apply mint so as to mask their scent but either ways my heart still skipped.“Do you mind explaining to me why your scent is all over Lyra’s phone?” Alpha Jake barked, his voice thundering as he crashed through my door."What?" I muttered under my breath, my eyes shifting to the broken cellphone he held in his hands. It was at this point I knew I was in trouble. How could I be this careless? His face darkened in anger as his bloodshot eyes glued on me, I feared he was going to smack me right in the face.My hands tightened around the cotton wool as I stared down at his hand with my lips slightly apart. “What—” I managed to say, my voice shaky, buying myse

    AEMOND'S POV“Good morning sir,” Two voices chorused behind me in unison.I turned to the direction of the voices, It was Grayson and Waller; two of the men I had sent to capture Alpha Jake’s Luna. They leaned in a bow, but I couldn’t help but notice the cuts on their skin. My expression changed to that of disgust as I stared at them from head to toe. “Why do you both look like you were involved in a fight with a bear?,” I asked, my tone etched with distaste.“Arrh…” Grayson stammered, both glaring at themselves in embarrassment, making them rather tense.“Hold on!” I said, my voice low and calculating. “Do not tell me you and the others messed up the mission,” I growled, anger slowly creeping into my tone.Alpha Leo had made it clear he didn’t want to hear stories and I wasn’t ready to go tell him one. “You both start talking or else, you would have wished you got torn apart by whatever it is that gave you these bruises,” I hissed at them, my chest already rising and falling in ang

  • BLOODLINE OF THE MOON    CHAPTER 67

    LYRA'S POVThe squeaky sound of the rusty iron gate followed by approaching footsteps pulled me up from my slumber. I slowly peeled my eyes open trying to figure out where I was, but my vision was still foggy. A load of sharp pain shot throughout my body from the back of my head. I tried to massage my neck region where the pain aches more when I heard the rattling of the chain and my hand couldn’t reach it, that was when I realized I was chained. Too weak to struggle, I fell back to the floor, my hair covering my face.“Turn the nozzle on!” I faintly heard a man's order, followed by another affirming the instruction. In an instant, the power of the running water hit my head, shifting me from the spot I laid. I struggled to breathe as the water continually splashed against my face and chest, choking me with every breath I took.“Please!” I begged, throwing my arm across my face to protect my already burning eyes from the impact of the water. I tried to shout for help but almost got ch

    LYRA'S POV“What the hell just happened.” I queried, turning my head to see where I was.Sitting up from the soft bed I laid on, pain throbbed at the back of my skull making me groan. “Where is it?” I muttered almost inaudibly. I felt something different about my body. It wasn't reeking with sweat and dirt anymore, it felt somehow refreshed. I looked down and my heart twisted. How…How did I get into this outfit? I pondered in my mind. The last thing I remembered was three men standing with me in my cell, I tried to escape only to be knocked out cold. “Did they? No no no,” I held my hand over my chest in embarrassment. I couldn't wait to set my eyes on them so I could smack them right in the face. “Get her! The Alpha would be in his court in no time. We don't want him to be there before us,” a deep voice came from the passage outside the room. Seconds after, the door pushed open.I could never forget his face! The guard who seized me as I tried to escape. “You perv! How dare you?” I

    ALPHA LEO’S POV“Something about today feels a little bit different, I don’t know what it is but the pull is that strong,” I spoke to Zeus, my wolf through our mindlink as I stood in front of my mirror getting ready for the day.“I thought it was me being in heat, I had been restless since the moment your Beta informed you about the capture of the captive,” Zeus responded with a soft growl.I finally have the opportunity today to meet with the captive. Aemon had informed me earlier she was being cleaned up by the maids. I can’t wait to drag Alpha Jake by his balls and watch him plead for mercy when I have my pistol pointed to her skull.I was about to wear my Oud cologne when Zeus interrupted my thought with a weird question. “What if she is your mate,” Zeus asked, freezing my finger mid-air from pressing down on the spray nozzle.Mate? That’s ridiculous. The word ‘Mate’ had never been a watchword in my dictionary until after I got my heart broken by a woman I cherished a lot while gr

    LYRA’S POVThe cold feeling of the ultrasound gel brought me nothing but joy as the blonde doctor gently applied it on the lower part of my belly. She rolled the transducer softly over the gel, revealing my fetus on the screen hanging by my right. I felt a prickle of tear drop from the corner of my eyes.“Isn’t it beautiful?” I asked, sniffing a loose mucus about to drip out from my nostril. The doctor nodded in affirmation with a smile on her face. “Of course, it is! Just like you,” we both laughed at her comment. “That is very kind of you,” I mentioned. “How long will it take to determine the sex of my baby?” I asked, curiosity etched in my tone.“Well, it is quite early to tell, ma’am. You are just eight weeks gone,” She responded, still rolling the knob over the gel. Suddenly, her brows knitted together, as though she spotted something wrong. My heart immediately skipped a beat. “Is everything alright?” I asked, trying to sit up. My brows furrowed and my tone was low and laced

    LYRA'S POVThe driver killed the engine at the end of the driveway in front of the pack house. I picked up my belongings still looking at Leo unsure what he had up his sleeves. “You know I hate suspense. Tell me already! What is this surprise?” I pouted playfully pushing the door open. “The last time I remember, you cherished the word surprise more than your name,” Leo teased, slamming the door shut. He returned my side glance with a smirk before shifting his gaze from me.“Welcome Miss Lyra, kindly walk with me this way,” a middle-aged lady greeted me with a bow before freeing me of the items I held in my hand. One would think she was a younger lady given her striking physical appearance. The wavy brown hair, a pair of beautiful green eyes, and a well-toned body. Most of all, a dazzling smile. I flashed a soft smile back at her responding to her greetings.I pointed to a group of men standing at the far end of the driveway, their eyes shaded by oversized sunglasses, puffing Cuban

  • BLOODLINE OF THE MOON    CHAPTER 89

    LEO’S POVI stood in front of the mirror checking out my abs after an intense two-hour session of cardio and muscle toning exercises. Beads of sweat ran down my temples, dripping from my chin and from my neck lining the contours of my abs and disappearing into the waistline of my thick pants. I wiped at it absently with the back of my hand, only for more ripples to form from my pores. I pulled down my singlet which stuck to my body, soaked with sweat from the intense session I just finished. My muscles ached, throbbing from the weight lifts, yet I embraced the discomfort. The pain and weariness served as reminders I was still in control—of my body and choices.I reached for the towel on the side table and dragged it across my face and neck, then snatched up the bottle of energy drink, gulping it down in three swallows. The citrus sting hit the back of my throat and I exhaled, wiping my mouth with my forearm.That’s when the door creaked open.“Your Grace.” Aemond’s voice sliced thr

    JAKE'S POVI was going through the business plans, flipping through pages and marking important notes when Caspian’s phone buzzed in my hand. My gaze instinctively fell on the name displayed above the document I was checking out.“Lyra?”The name on his screen shot through me like a lightning bolt, making my entire body jolt. I held tighter on the phone, my heart pounding in my chest as I stared at the name glowing on the screen like some twisted joke.I batted my eyelid once, twice and the third time hoping my senses were playing tricks on me but It didn’t go away. Every fibre in me pulled hard inside me urging me to minimize and find out who this Lyra is.The name has haunted my every breath, every waking hour since the day she vanished. I had searched every possible realm, spoken to the Moon Seers, even interrogated rogues in the dungeons—and yet nothing. And here it was, her name… lighting up another man’s phone.What are the odds she was who I was looking for? What if it’s a diff

    CASPIAN'S POVPeople often assume the worst monsters are beasts with claws and teeth while the sweetest of souls come bearing flowers with wide smiles on their faces. But, they’re wrong.Monsters wear tailored suits. They speak gently. They smile as they chain you, Just like I do.My name is Durello Caspian popularly known as Caspian Reed; a bastard son of Reed Durello, former CEO of Reed mining firm. Former, right? Well, I killed him and his son to assume the position of CEO of Reed’s mining firm.Left to fend for myself at a very young age after the death of my mother, I grew up in the pits of Draymoor, where boys were taught to survive, not dream, till I met my savior, a popular Mafia billionaire Carlito Santo-Maria.Carlito owned the largest human trafficking shipment in Draymoor. At sixteen, I had already trafficked my first girl across the border, smuggled inside a wine barrel. By eighteen, I was managing shipments of humans like livestock.

    JAKE'S POV The oak desk trembled under the weight of my clenched fists. Papers—maps, reports, meaningless pages of failed updates—scattered onto the floor as I slammed them away. The silence in the room was heavy, but not nearly as heavy as the storm brewing inside me. Damon stood at a distance, tense, his jaw set like stone."How the hell did you lose her? She was right there, all you had to do was, walk in and find her!" I spat, my voice sharp and cracking with frustration.Damon didn’t flinch. He rarely did. But I saw the flicker of regret in his eyes. "Jake," he started, his voice low and calm. “We have combed through the entire city, but we can't seem to find her.”“Do not give me that crap, Damon!” I blurted out in frustration, veins bulging my forehead and neck. "What do you mean you can't find her?” I asked. “Rio is not that much of a big city! Check every damn street, every village, estate, and whatever there is!” my tone laced with frustration as I yelled.“But Alpha, I alr

    AEMOND'S POV“Finally, it is gradually coming through! You think of me as a fool! A sheep destined to be led all through life. I have worked my ass off, my sweat, my blood, yet you keep taking credit for all! No acknowledgement! Wait till I take everything from you and have you stripped on the street,” I spat venom at Leo in my head, still maintaining a submissive look. I nodded with my gaze fixed on him, with a forced smile, while I tightened my fist away from his view.“I am happy you're beginning to see reasons with me, your Grace. I'd reach out immediately to Zephyr. I am certain he would be able to give me more insight about the pendant,” my voice rang with so much excitement as I stood up to exit the bar.My phone buzzed in my pocket, I reached out to see it was Ella. I took a sharp glance at Leo. Luckily his face was buried in his phone. Clicking on the message icon, I realized it was Ella.I AM YET TO GET AN UPDATE ON THAT BITCH. WHY IS SHE STILL BREATHING?

    LEO’ S POVWhy are younger siblings so difficult to handle? I thought, tearing through rogues coming at me from the front gate. I had no idea who they were and why they were attacking. All that mattered to me at this point was to hurry off and get Lyra out of this before she got hurt or worst of all, taken.I disabled the last rogue coming at me before racing off to find Lyra. “Lyra!” I called out, darting through the woods with branches and leaves, slapping and tearing my chest as I ran. All I heard was the sound of dry leaves crushing under my feet as I raced till I heard a scream, my heart stopped. “Lyra!” I whispered, my eyes popped out in fear. “No no no,” I growled, changing my direction towards the east wing.What my eyes saw made me halt in my tracks. I lost my breath for a minute. Bodies littered all over the place. “What the hell happened?” I whispered to myself, my eyes darting from left to right when I spotted Tara, standing on a hill.Her thick white fur was stained with

    LYRA’S POV“Tara! Tara! Stop!” I yelled, my heart racing. I couldn’t control her, all she wanted to do was to tear out of me and attack. As the protector of the pendant and the bearer, Tara would never take any chances with anyone who posed a threat to me, even if it was my brother.YOU NEED TO STAY BACK AND LEARN HOW TO CONTROL YOUR WOLF AND YOUR ABILITIESMy mind reeled back to what Selene had told me back in ShadowClaw. Maybe I should have listened. Ever since Tara returned, she was no longer the sweet little pup I used to know. Though she was still sweet, but, a lot of chances had taken place. Changes I couldn’t control.“What are you doing, Lyra?” Leo asked, his voice trembling as his gaze faltered. “I don’t know Leo, just drop the damn pendant!” I yelled again, this time I felt Tara connecting to the Pendant. “Wha…What are you doing?” I muttered inaudibly. Tara’s body began to heat up inside of me. I knew what she was doing. “Arrh! Leo’s voice echoed into the night with a loud

    LEO'S POV“Easy!” I winced in pain as the nurse gently wrapped medicated gauze around my palm.“Sorry sir,” the nurse responded to my reaction.I hadn't spoken to nor seen Lyra since the incident last night. “How bad is the burn?” I asked.“It is just a first-degree burn sir, you should be fine in a couple of weeks, with proper dressing, some analgesic, and antibiotics,” she responded, clipping the loose edge of the bandage.“Good morning sir,” Aemond greeted, walking in on me and the nurse. His gaze shifted to my hand in shock. “What the hell happened to you, sir?” He queried, examining my wrapped arm.“It’s nothing, I got burnt but it's just a mild scratch,” I responded casually, hoping it would stop him from asking further questions but Aemond was one inquisitive individual. “You may leave us now, Nurse Zoey,” I shifted my gaze to the nurse, who nodded, packing up her first aid box. Aemond and I just stared at each other for the period she was putting her things in order.“These a

    JAKE'S POVI pushed through the entrance of the jewelry store, racing outside. “She couldn't have run that far!” I heaved deep breaths as I looked from left to right and right to left. “ Fucking hell!” I screamed, my nerves pushing against my skin around my neck.“Jake! Stop! You are embarrassing yourself! You are embarrassing me!” Ella scolded as she ran towards me, struggling to keep herself balanced on her heels.I spun around, my face contoured into a non friendly form. I stormed towards her as though I was going to take out my frustration on her. “Don't fucking tell me to stop! I knew what I saw!” I yelled at her face, saliva spreading into the air. “She was right there! I saw her! And thanks to your bullshit, I'm sure she saw me too! Gosh!” I clawed my finger into my head, holding it tightly. “If you hadn't insisted I accompany you to get some jewelry, I wouldn't be in this compromising situation.“I’m sure she'd be thinking we are likely getting married.
