" Linda?" The three of them called at the same time, shock apparent on their faces. They didn't expect to see me here, much less catch them talking about me."Tell me Alex, how long have you known about this or did you know all along and played me for a fool all this time? You never brought me here because we are mates but because you were planning to use me all along. You just wanted to use me to bait my mother? How could you do that? " I accused him unscrupulously, the pain in my chest multiplied tenfold.Now I even doubt that Rosabella's return is his plan too." Leave us!" Alex ordered and both Valeria and Leo nodded before walking away.Valeria gave me a glance, shaking her head at me but I was too drowned in anger to even decipher the meaning of her actions .Have you ever felt your world tearing apart because everything you knew about yourself was all a lie ? That was what I was feeling at that moment. Broken and shattered, used and discarded and trust me, that has got to be th
" Linda, can you stop being unreasonable? I know you are hurt but can't you put yourself in Alex's shoes?" Valeria questioned, her tone disapproving."Unreasonable huh? How am I being unreasonable Valeria?""Linda, can't you see that you are only pushing him away by refusing to talk to him? And yes, you are being unreasonable. Have you ever considered the fact that perhaps Alex knew nothing about the existence of that woman and her son?''Valeria asked, trying to make me see reason."How can he not know? That's impossible!" He's the father, how can he not know that he got someone pregnant."Believe It or not, that's the truth. It wasn't until yesterday that Alex knew that the woman he thought was dead was still alive and that with a son she claimed to be his." Valeria explained."So what you are trying to say is that he didn't know about the boy." I asked for confirmation, trying to process what I was hearing."That's exactly what I am trying to say. Rosabella was believed to be dead y
" Something else?" Valeria asked and I nodded." Yes, I seem to feel something pulsating inside me. I felt it when those vampires tried escaping. I did not attack them, but something else did. Something emanating from my body." I explained and Valeria seemed deep in thought. " What are you thinking about?"" The way you are describing the situation sounds like how unsealed power reveals itself ." She said, " Abilities are usually related to the race of a being. But they can evolve or change when something major happens, such as the user reaching a certain level alternatively, it could be because your power was sealed and it was forced out because of a circumstance. In your case, the second option seems more feasible. " Valeria explained." But Melody said nothing about it. I can feel it, she's clueless about the whole thing. " I muttered loud enough for Valeria to hear." That's because she's clueless. That's not her power. It's another power hidden inside you." She explained, making
" Linda, you've been ignorant all your life." Kaiser said, sighing heavily. That to admit, I have always been carefree and ignorant Since I was a child. That's how my parents trained me Since I was young. Apart from them being strict with me to take my training seriously, I could play around all day long without any worries.I had the most doting brother as I grew up and knew that my family would shield me from any danger." A White Wolf is very different from all other wolves. It's special. It's Said that after every century, a White Wolf is born, a gift from the Moon goddess. The White wolf will bring about a blessing to its pack." Kaiser explained and I frowned." Is that true? But why is it different from other wolves? It is only born once in a hundred years. Why is it not the same for the rest of the wolves?" I questioned." That's because the White Wolf has the ability to perform miracles. It can bring back a dead Wolf but for each choice against the nature it makes, it has to s
Our gazes locked and nobody said a word.I didn't know what to say. I was afraid that I would run into his arms, forgetting about everything.Even though I agreed to talk to him, that didn't mean I simply forgave him.No way. He has to prove his sincerity to me. He has to show me that the arrival of a third party wouldn't change anything between us." I figured out that you would not have taken anything so I brought you some porridge." Alex finally said, breaking the silence between us. He had been staring at me since he had entered my room." I did not ask you to come," I answered, breaking eye contact with him." You're right, I'm just trying to do the right thing. Please Linda, don't push me away. " He pleaded. I could feel the helplessness in his voice." Just leave, please." I turned my back on him, unable to withstand his gaze. He did not move from his position." I would not be able to rest peacefully knowing that you are angry at me. I know that I have hurt you, but you should
I woke up to the sound of running water from the bathroom. Memories of what transpired between Alex and I flooded my mind and I could not help but blush.Last night, Alex made love to me passionately. I didn't have any doubts that he loved me. Even with that woman coming back to wreak havoc, nothing has changed between us. I can't believe I at some point wanted to give up on him.Just as Valeria said, I should fight to keep my man My battle won't be physical with that woman but I will do everything to keep my man by my side. He is mine. Why should I allow another woman to take him away? The sound of the water creates a seductive picture in my mind. I could not help but imagine the water sliding down from his head, down to his muscles and then further to that delicious cock.The thought alone was enough to make me moan out loud.The creaking of the door pulled me from my thoughts.Alex emerged from the bathroom, a towel tied loosely around his thin waist and leaving the rest of his b
Alex's POVI decided to bring my mate for the council meeting today because I am sure with Rosabella coming back, the elders will try to push me to take her as the Lycan Queen considering that she has my son, a son I haven't met yet.It's not like I don't want to meet him, it's just that Seeing him would remind me of the pain I have caused my mate.For some reasons, I'd rather keep Linda happy than meet that so-called son.Crazy right? But that's how crazy I am for my Mate. At some point, I even thought of leaving everything behind and be with her as she asked." You don't have to worry so much about her,your highness, she is strong. Nothing can put her down." Leo comforted me as we headed to the meeting room but that did not make me feel any better. If anything, it made me feel even more guilty. I promised to protect her. Is thistle how I keep my word? By dragging her to a den of vultures ready to devour her." I have failed her Leo, I have disappointed her. It hurts so much." I repl
I stepped inside the meeting hall with confidence reeking in me.The Mistress should be given a chance to prove herself yet I am Alex's Mate and I don't deserve that? How audacious!My eyes collided with Alex's and he gave me a smile but I looked away.I could not afford to have him distract me at this point.I will deal with this matter once and for all." And who the hell do you think you are yo step inside this hall without permission?" The man I identified as lord Callaso questioned, hostility evident on his face and voice.I walked towards him before whispering to him." I am your nemesis. Watch out, you messed with the wrong person."I watched with satisfaction as his eyes widened in horror then anger overtook his old face.Are you sure you want me to answer that question?" I asked out loud before he could say anything else.Turning to face the crown, I greeted Alex with respect." Come darling, sit by my side." Alex motioned me, making me fight the urge to roll my eyes at him.
Crawling to her, I shifted back to my human form. Clutching her into my arms, I watched as she took her last breath. Turning to look at Alex, he was slowly drawing closer to the claws of death. Letting out a loud growl, something snapped inside me and I felt a sudden rush of adrenaline rushing through me as something crawled under my skin. It was sweet, dark, eerie and sadistic.A sense of dread overtook me as a new power surged in my veins, burning and searing my flesh as it rushed to the surface. A shining beam of light surrounded me as I felt a strange coldness settling deep in the marrows of my bones then I exploded, letting everything go. The ground underneath me started to quake, the air inside the four walls turned thick, my skin felt as if it was on fire, but instead of burning me it felt like it was peeling off.Groans and grunts filled the room, a sudden tsunami surrounding me, lifting me up and driving in circles. Beams of pure light hit the enemy, a single blow sendin
The more Lucian ranted the more I pitied him. Pathetic right? But as a child, he didn't deserve to be treated that way. Just like he said, I was raised in wealth but what more was I offered. Just like him, I was a caged bird, caged by the walls and rules of the kingdom yet what I went through as a child didn't influence what I am now. " That's no excuse to harm innocent people. " I started calmly.I could feel my body burning, no, scorching would be the perfect explanation. The heat was so much that I just wanted to claw at my skin. " Innocent people? " Lucian sneered. " How innocent could they be? Thanks to those so-called innocent people, I was branded dangerous, a traitor. And that stupid fortune teller, claiming that I would bring downfall to the whole land. Her useless words added to that pathetic man's hatred towards me and I was kicked away in the middle of the night, just like the dirty secret I was in his hands. Now, I just want to fulfil her words, bring the world under
Linda's povThe fight between Rosabella and I was getting intense. She was like a cornered beast, fighting it's way for freedom.Her attacks were ferocious and unforgiving, not giving me time to breath as she unleashed her full force upon me. One thing I realised, her magic wss weak, meaning her witch side Wasn't that strong. She was relying on her vampire and lycan powers to fight."I don't want to do this Rosabella" I told her as I tried to disarm her without hurting her. "You should have thought about that before you betrayed your people and join that man to cause ruckus. Rosabella sneered. " And you think you are Qualified to tell me what and what not to do? " I shook my head. At this point, she could already tell that she was clearly not strong enough to rival me yet she was insisting on fighting to the death? " Even if you don't care about yourself, at least think about your son. He is young and needs you. He needs a mother to care and love him. " I said in an attempt to c
Alex povWe set off after Linda's mother and I had a little chat.While I was away, I instructed Fiona to take charge of the kingdom and if something happens to me, she would take over as the Next lycan king.As for Linda, she would chose whether to stick around or leave the kingdom and continue with her life.I know she loves her profesion so I did the only thing I thought was good for her, setting her free.With me gone, i don't think she will be comfortable living with the lycans. Not like my people won't accept her, it's just that staying back would only give her pain." We still need you, she needs you. " Leo mindlinked me as we approached the prison where the battle would be held.I smiled, albeit bitterlyI didn't want this for myself, for my kingdom and most especially for my mate but some things are inevitable.This battle will only end with my death.I nodded at him.Leo looked away. I could see the pain in his eyes yet he remained strong." Change of plans. Your mate will t
Linda's povMorning came and as promised, Aurora sneaked into my prison cell. " Ready? " She asked and I nodded. Muttering a few words, I was freed from the chains making my eyes widen in surprise. " How did you do that? " I asked and she smiled. "The cuffs are something my family created so I can control them, " She replied, shrugging her shoulders. She then casted a spell on herself, looking exactly like me. Looking at her, I could hardly tell the difference, even her scent matched mine. " Go now! You can't waste more time. " She urged me. Nodding, I turned around and left. I found myself Following the path like I knew the place and ended up Aurora's room. Sitting on her bed, I prayed to the goddess to let her see the end of the day. My skin felt dirty from all the days I had stayed without a bath. Stripping, I headed to the bathroom.I washed away the dirt and the grime that had collected itself on my skin.After I finished, I stepped out of the bathroom feeling refresh
Linda's POVShe was right.Whether Alex stayed back at the kingdom or came to this damn forsaken place, a confrontation between them was inevitable. From what I saw about that man, his hatred for Alex ran deep and there's nothing that could stop him from taking his revenge on Alex.It's funny or should I say it's twisted how that man thinks?After being discarded by his father, he blames Alex for his misfortunes?I nodded." Do you have a plan?" I asked, taking x deep breath and embracing the fact that it was time for war.Macbeth grinned, " Now that's More like it."I smiled, amazed at how even her expressions and vigor matched Valeria's." Lucian plans to attack the castle but we will do it Instead. Tomorrow before noon, seduce him, make him let his guard down. We will invade this place, eliminate all the rogues and goddess knows what fate will be served to that bastard because I won't let him breathe past tomorrow." Macbeth said, her words filled with determination." Alright, then
Macbeth povComing here was something that I would probably get a Scolding from my father but at this point, I didn't care. I needed to do this for my sister.For so many years, I had tried to convince my father to bring her back to the deep sea where her family is but he never agreed." She is a witch, Macbeth. She can't survive here. " That would always be his reply.He was right yet every time I heard his answer, I would not help but be angry.Angry that he never found a way to bring her to us.I would sneak occasionally to the dry land and sneak a peek at her yet every time I saw her, I left more heartbroken than the previous time.Her life among the lycans wasn't as bad. She was respected and valued here. Nobody treated her badly. At Least that would comfort me everytime.She had someone who adored her to the moon and back. Sometimes, I even envied her. Her life was fun, nothing like the mundane life I lived under water." Are you even listening to me? " I heard Kaiser's voice as
Looking at the scene unravelling before me made me sick to the stomach. Turns out that the reason that child looked like me was because he was my brother's son, a brother I never knew about." So now, do you still want to deny it? " Macbeth asked and I sucked in cold breath." There's nothing to deny but the fact still remains, I never knew that I had a brother somewhere. " I replied in all honesty." I can't believe this! " Leo murmured, looking all shaken." You really didn't know? " Macbeth pressed but I was getting fed up with her." How many times must I say that I never knew!? " I raised my voice as I spoke." If you really want your help then the first step you take is trust us. Why would I lie about something so serious? If I ever knew about having a brother, do you believe i'll want to be the lycan king? I have never loved being tied down to the throne. " I added and she nodded, looking away." I think Alex is telling the truth. He would not let someone take Jos mate away and
The lady turned to look at Leo with an hostile look painting her face. " You know nothing about my family so I suggest you stop making wild guesses." She warned. I shook my head at Leo , stopping him from arguing with her. At this point , we were supposed to stick together to face the enemy and not fight amongst ourselves. As for their differences, although I doubt there's any , they will solve them later. " Show me to my sister's room and bring something that belongs to your mate." The lady instructed and I nodded. " Leo , can you show her to valeria's room? " I requested but he growled at me, obviously dissatisfied. "'Why should I take her? " He asked. " Forget it . I'll head there myself. I'll just follow her scent. Macbeth replied before turning away and heading in the direction of valeria's room.I sighed and Leo frowned. He then glared at me. " What? " I asked, feigning innocence. " Why would you allow her to enter valeria's room? " He asked and this time, it's Kaiser
