Lugard's PovI hear the telephone ring, I snap, raising my body a little, and I feel a strange heaviness. Memories of last night bounce in my head, and instantly, l shoot my eyes open. And for the first time in my life, I woke up to the rising sun, and come to think of it, I didn't have a nightmare, this was the best night I have ever had. I look on my side and find her pretending to be deep asleep. I shake my head and then smile as I look around my room. Clothes scattered everywhere, my suit, shirt, her pants etcetera etcetera. "Wake up, Anna, get up and return the chair to its position. I know you are wide awake. Come on." She does not smile or flinch, is she really asleep? I call her twice and she opens her eyes slightly. She stares around and she yells. "What am I doing here in your room and…and in…your bed?" Her voice trembles as she speaks. I shake my head, looking at her while she checks herself beneath the sheet. "Oh shit, no…" Her expression is hor
Lyanna's Pov "Do you believe in supernaturals? Well, I don't but these days I think I might be forced to. Drake, I don't know if you will understand this, it's hard for me to assimilate it. I am not usually like this…" I pause as I don't get the right words to explain my feelings. Still, I maintain my gaze on his chest. After yesterday, I am having difficulty locking eyes with him. "Drake, there's this force that pulls you to me, I want to understand it. Do you feel the same way?" He inhales then pulls back as if he is irritated. "I am sorry if I asked you this, it's like the alcohol is still working inside me. I wonder about the kind of things I said yesterday. Why didn't you stop me from drinking?" "I said several things but you wouldn't listen, you are so tenacious and silly. You can't infer things I learned about you yesterday. You were fun and feisty, I kind of liked it. But if you were my girlfriend, I… forget it, I will show you the kitchen and you w
Alpha Lugard' Pov From what this girl said to me this morning, I don't think she knows she's a werewolf or even anything about it. Well, I know she is but I can't tell if she's a full-blooded wolf or not. I think I will have to find out for myself. I will just have someone force her into a fight.There are mysteries behind the current parents of Lyanna though. And I must find out who they are. One of them must know who Lyanna really is and one of them must be one of us. Who can that be? Her Mom or her Dad? I will find out tonight.Memories of yesterday replay in my head again. Her bright shuddering skin beneath me, softest lips, and the warmest mouth in my possession. The taste of wine mixed with her blood and the taste of her insides was so delicious, I could eat her all day long as she pleased. But I was so surprised to learn she's still a virgin. I mean, how? At her age? Did the moon goddess arrange everything in my favor? What else can I say? She knows an Alpha should mate a Vir
Chapter 26Alpha lugard's PovI pay for a private room for the poor woman and in a few minutes, Bella arrives here, panting as if she came by running. "Holy shit, I thought something happened to you, why did you call me here?" She asks in a disjointed breath. "It's not me, I need you to help me, I will pay you fairly well. Just treat her for me, is that fine?" She narrows her brows and then stares for a while. "It's been a long time since I did this, I am not sure if, well, I can help you, I am sorry." "Yes you can, it's not as if you are going to operate on her, she's just bruised, come and fix her." I pull her by the arm and send her inside where the woman lay almost unconscious. I close the door and lean against the wall with my arms crossed over my chest, while watching every single move. "Please, can I have one nurse here, I will need someone to help me with the tools and medications if necessary?" Bella commands, hurriedly putting
Chapter 27Lyanna's PovI open to find Roger staring at me with a smile on his face. Well, I fake one, how will I smile when someone I almost slept with yesterday just made me feel as though I never existed? And there was my father, telling him how excited I was because he was coming over. Was that necessary? "Hey, what happened to your dress?" He asks, extending his hand to give me a rose bouquet. "I don't know what's wrong with everyone tonight, Mom mistakenly hit my hand and the wine poured on me. Anyway, it's been a long since I last saw you and I need to talk." "That's why I am here, can I come in, Lyanna." I turn around and remember Drake is also inside. Good, perfect, now we will see who will ignore whom. "Yeah, why not, please come inside and make yourself at home." I step aside and he walks inside. "We are eating, mind to join us?" "Honestly, I am hungry and I want to taste how good your cooking is." Immediately we get to the ta
Alpha Lord Lugard's PovMrs. Coblah stares at me, I stare back and this time, there's something about her that's so different, her eyes, how they loudly resonate the fear inside her. I know it's for one thing when I said there was silver in the wine. But how will silver manage to be in an unopened bottle? "I am sorry, I didn't know you were busy, I…you can continue and I will just leave, continue…yeah," she says then fakes a smile, her eyes never leaving mine. For sure, I know she might be the mother wolf. And if it's so then she's hiding her real personality from her husband and Lyanna. Oh okay, now the puzzle is clear, she must have kidnapped the girl, gone far away, and gotten married to this human husband of hers. "Lyanna, does your mother allow you to take in chocolate?" She frowns, narrowing her eyes. "Personally, if I eat chocolate, I sometimes feel weak within, I don't know how to explain it, why do you ask?" "You didn't answer my ques
Alpha lugard's PovI wake abruptly from sleep, the sheets attached to my body like a second skin. I am drenched in sweat, from the same nightmare. Lyanna isn't here, and again, It happens I can't sleep.I check the alarm and it's quarter past 2 am. I scoot out of bed to wash my face and then exercise. I return to find my phone vibrating, getting it, I find a text from Lyanna. "Hey you, are you asleep?" "I just woke up, I am having nightmares. "I also had this terrifying nightmare and I am here thinking about you, wanting to be kissed again." She replies with two love emojis. "Do you want me to come over?" I tap send, and a few seconds later, she replies, changing the subject. "What did you talk about with my Mom?" "It's not important, tell me what your nightmare was about, what's disturbing your beautiful sleep?" "Why don't you talk to me about your tattoo first, Drake and we will talk about me." "If you say so, Lyan
Chapter 30Alpha Lord Lugard'sI part my lips to say Mom but I do not, will that be necessary? I shake hands with her and we take our seats together. "You look so gorgeous, so different from how you were earlier yesterday," Alicia comments, leaving a trace of a smile across her lips. "I looked into the mirror and thought I was a different person. What can I say and how can I thank this gentleman for his kindness?" She says and looks at me, genuineness in her coffee-brown eyes. "You didn't deserve such treatment, I only did what a sane person would do, ma'am, do not thank me," I say and she nods briefly. "Well, I did my introduction at the hospital, eh, let me introduce this beautiful lady beside me to you." "I suppose she's your wife or girlfriend—" The woman cut in, making me smirk. "She isn't ma'am, she's my secretary and sometimes my sister." "Sometimes your sister? What does that mean, Son?" She calls again and I feel lik
