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
Lyanna's PovI hurriedly run out of the living room as I hear a knock. What took him so long though? "Mom! Take care." I say loudly and then open the door. My smile fades, all the excitement I felt drifting away like a stream. "Good morning, Ma'am, Drake Shelton asked me to come to fetch you." I nod. "Anyway, what's wrong with him? Won't he come to school?" "He will but he's taking care of something important, right? And it won't take long so he will come. Please can we get going!" "Yeah, sure we can." We sit and he drives off to school. The call pulls over at the car park, immediately I get down, I see Drake walking to take the elevator. I take my bag, "thank you," I wave at his driver and run following Drake. The elevator door is just about to close and I block it with my hand. He stares down at me when I get in panting for breath. This man walks so damn fast! He does not stop watching me, there is no humor on his face either. We both
Alpha lugard's PovThis feeling isn't right, it's not supposed to be like that. Why am I feeling sympathetic towards her? Because of her, I experienced the worst torture. And I should be happy she's going through this but I can't. Why can't I?Sitting here beside her and watching her sleep peacefully is so calm. I can watch her all day long without getting tired. I am so sorry, Bambini. So sorry, I am the cause of this but what can I do?How long will this drug take to stop taking effect, it's getting to an hour. I sigh and continue watching her until I see her shift and moan. She bats her lashes, closes them, and finally opens her eyes. "Drake…" she calls softly but says nothing. I put my hand in her hair and played with it. "How are you feeling, Lyanna? I am sorry I brought you here, I didn't know this would cause you to imagine you are seeing an animal who wants to eat you." "Where am I?" She says, scanning the dim cave which contains nothing but
Alpha Lugard's PovShe pulls back, stops stroking me then smiles like an innocent child who does not know what it means to be immoral. "I thought you were supposed to teach me self-control, Drake. It seems here I am the one teaching you." "This is inappropriate, Lyanna. Why have you stopped what you have started? I don't play these kinds of games." I narrow my brows, and dive into the water, averting my anger to it. "Are you not teaching me to swim anymore? This is not fair, Drake." "You don't play fair either, Miss Lyanna. Teach yourself to swim, I have no interest whatsoever." "Who will be held responsible if I drown? You brought me here, remember?" "Now you are threatening me, Lyanna. And I think the devil wears Mary Kay, you are dragging me to hell and I don't seem to have control. I will teach you only on one condition, you are not seducing me again." "I give you my word, Drake, no seduction." She replies
