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
Lyanna's Pov "What's with you, don't you have your phone to let us know you won't be coming home early? Your Dad came to the school and didn't find you, where did you go?" My Mom says loudly, a line appears in between her brows, making its way up her head to show her anger. "Mom, I am sorry, I didn't know we would take long and when I got there, the signal was weak, that's why I didn't call. Please can we talk about this tomorrow?" "We are not, sit on the sofa and wait for me, we are getting to the bottom of this and you are going to promise me not to do that ever again." She says and starts walking to the kitchen. "Mom, I don't want to talk." "No, you will, I insist. Sit down and wait for me, young lady." She shouts from the kitchen and I am compelled to sit. Does anyone care about me at all? "Dad?" I see him coming to the living room and I run to hug him. He's always so understanding and loving, unlike my mom who can someti
Alpha Lugard's PovWe gather at the table as the family we have now become. For my part of the deal, I am to buy them a new house here, well, for at least three weeks until I finish whatever it is I need to finish.Speaking of which, I know Lyanna might be making stupid decisions. Who knows what she's doing with Roger at the moment? And he's also so happy because he thinks Lyanna is being sincere with him. Meanwhile, she can't love anyone but me, just me. "So do I get to call you brother?" Lucy asks and the food chokes me. Calling me brother when Alicia already told Lyanna we are only two? "You could call me something else, like, darling." Will it be a great idea to send her to school? I mean, since Lyanna is already mad at me, we can make her go wild. "Bella, please could you come around for a few seconds?" She walks hurriedly and stands beside me with her gaze fixed on the ground. "I have to attend class and Alicia has to be at the office. Sam
Chapter 36Lyanna's Pov "Do not make me hate, do not get in my way, Drake. I know you have heard me." I shout back then follow him into the class. I reach the entrance and then suddenly stop in my tracks, are we expecting Mr. Adams to be in class today? Definitely not, what's he doing here? I sigh and then breathe in a lot of courage to walk inside. He's starting to be a nuisance, I am so certain he will call me.I may be wrong, I walk to sit down but he doesn't call me. What happened? Oh, probably Drake has saved my ass by telling them everything that happened yesterday. Ouch! "Lyanna." Mr. Adams calls and I sit up, giving him all of my attention. "Since you were not in class yesterday, and did not bother to be here at noon for the next class, you might be lagging. Fortunately for you, you move with a genius. I just realized Drake understands the theory so ask him to teach you. I didn't say the two of you should end up kissing." He stops for the class to gig
Alpha Lugard's PovI have traveled around the world, met a lot of princesses, ones which bathed in Rose water and applied the most refined skin oils to look as shimmering as glass. Met the ones with the most shiny Golden hair but none of them can compare to Lyanna. She has her beauty given straight from the moon goddess. Actually, others could even say she's the moon goddess. Seeing her tonight was like being to a place where I've desired to be all the days of my life. Even now, sitting with my back facing her, hearing her breathe makes me feel so alive. She belongs to me and I belong to her, and tonight, she's coming with me whether she likes it or not. I wait for her to close the door and get inside. "I know you can sense my presence, you are not wrong, anyway. Turn on the light, wife." "Drake…" she calls, her voice trembling. I get up and instead of turning the light on, I surround my hands around her waist. "I saw the way you danced with the men at th
Lyanna's PovIt's the third day of being in my father's house and having to live with the fact of carrying Drake's child. My father, Alpha Clinmim has been buried and well, Roger together with my parents are also doing their best to make me happy. For Roger, I have still not told him anything about not wanting to have something to do with him. I plan to tell him after I finish taking my bath. I humm, hoping he would take this lightly. I stop looking at my belly in the mirror, I enter the shower and return a few minutes later with a towel around me. "There you are." Roger says, sitting on my bed. "I brought you chocolate tea, are you going somewhere?" "Ah yes, yes! I want to take a walk in the city. Oh don't worry, I will manage on my own. And thanks for the tea, you know I like it." "How are you doing? The baby also, are the both of you okay?" He asks concernedly. "I am fine and she, I guess is also fine." I smile briefly, he nods twice.
Chapter 105 Lyanna's PovHis eyes are bright even in the dark and he keeps looking at me, I look back. "Are you alright, Lyanna?" "Yeah, I should be, did you hear me say something?" "No, you were only moaning softly, does Lugard have something to do with it? It's not that I am being jealous or something, you have to understand that if you keep thinking about him so much, there's no way you are gonna forget about him. Are you with me?" Everyone keeps saying the same thing, but do they know how hard that is? How can I possibly stop thinking about Drake of all people? I thought. "Shall we go back to sleep?" I noticed him sigh. "It's you who needs to sleep, Lyanna. How long have you been thinking about you?" "Let's not talk about him, please?" He comes closer to me and then puts my head on his chest. I feel uncomfortable but don't not complain. Sun rushes in through the thin curtains, falling directly on me. I moan, open
Lyanna's PovDuring the night, I hardly slept as I felt horny beside Roger. If only he was Drake, I would have climbed on top of him. Trail kisses on his face, his collarbone down his chest and then his abdomen and stop when he flinches, waking with a huge smile on his face when he's like; "Are you having trouble sleeping, sweetheart?" I would nod my head and he would shake his head, pouting like a child. "And what has that got to do with me? Why won't you let me sleep?" I would frown, still sitting astride his thighs. "I want you, please, I am all wet." He would elevate his brows, look into my eyes and with his piercing eyes. "Well, wipe yourself dry, Miss, I want to continue my lovely sleep." "Don't do that, my love." I will say pleadingly, in a very soft tone under the dim light in the middle of a lonely silent night. I will then give up trying, and then put my head on his chest while I listen to the rhythm of his heart beat.
Lyanna's PovWhat did I just do! Why did I allow myself to be kissed by him? I know I used to like him but not now? How could I ever think of kissing another man aside Drake? He doesn't deserve this, I shouldn't do this to him. "You told me you no longer think of him, what are you doing in the kitchen leaning against the wall looking all lost?" I turn to my Dad and I hug him tightly. "I can't believe I just kissed Roger? Why did I do that?" "You used him to know if you still had feelings for Lugard. You wanted to know if you can do that with another man, daughter." "I did, and so now what? Why am I feeling bad for doing it? It's as if I have cheated on him and it's like I want to keep myself for just him, Dad. Am I running insane?" "Don't be silly, Lyanna. This will not help you if you really want to move on. You can't be like this forever, you can't convince people and deceive yourself you hate him when you don't. Why don't y
Roger's PovI bump into the blonde, she smiles and my expression changes. "There you are, Sir. How was the meeting with him, did he want to swallow you wholly?" I laugh, shaking my head. "I was too huge for him to swallow, we shall meet again, Selena. Your words are as warm as you are." She bows, "I hope we meet again, Sir." He bows and I go leave. As I drove on the road, I decided to pass by Denver City college and perhaps gather a little information about Lyanna. It may help me find where she is fast. "You are welcome, Drake, it's been a long time." The security say as I pull over. I get down from the car. "You know what it means to be a business person, you are never at one place. Anyway, is the president around? I want to have a word with him." "I have been off duty until a few minutes ago. Why don't you go in and check?" I nod a and then hurries into his office. "Have a seat, Roger, how have you been doing?" He says immediately he sees me come through the door. "I am
Roger's PovIt's been a few days since I got to Denver and everything is just the same except I have not seen Lyanna to brighten it up a little bit. I have been doing my normal things, from work to looking everywhere for her, but I have no good results. I lean back into the chair, sipping the wine as I think of where I could find Lyanna as soon as possible for the funeral of her father. School? Should I go to the school and ask for Lyanna's number or Drake's number? Wouldn't it be better if I met Drake himself at his oil company? I assume, still on my wine. After a long deliberation, I swayed to the shower, returned in suit and then took the key to my black BMW. The drive to my oil company was quick as there was no traffic jam. "You are welcome, Sir." My assistant says as she follows me into my office. "It's been a long time sir, how are you doing?" "Fine,can I get a glass of water? The weather is quite harsh today. It's too hot in here, what happened to the air-conditioner?"
Present**** Lyanna's Pov. Sitting for almost God knows how many hours but I felt as though I had been sitting for a minute. I looked over at my mom, she was weeping. "Mom, I am sorry, I've opened up your wound." She nodded, wiping her eyes with her hands. "What went wrong? What was your only choice?" "Well, the coffee mistakenly poured and I didn't want another person suffering the consequences of cleaning. The only choice I had was to clean the area myself, and well, I did." "Mm hmm…meaning you never had the chance to get justice for your friend's lives?" "I did, Lyanna but not immediately. I made her drink it a few years later when I was ready to escape with you. I wanted the depression of losing you together with the poison kill her quickly." "Did she live?" "I don't think she could live, if doctor's found out something, it would probably be too late. I killed her, I believe it and I am proud. M
Flashback******Mrs Coblah's PovI was still hiding, my hand tightly covering my mouth so I wouldn't scream. "You are hurting me," the doctor's hand was on the Alpha's as she said. "You are smart and you should know fairly enough that I don't intend to be pleasurable. This is to make you feel pain and die, Doctor." He said, tightening the grip. He looked into her eyes and suddenly, he freed her. "Why the fuck do I keep seeing Anna's face instead of you, huh? Why can't I kill you?" She cleared her throat, constantly rubbing the reddened neck. "Perhaps she's the one you've truly loved. Perhaps you never really loved your wife, you are still with her because she's the only one who likes to be around you knowing fairly well you are a monster.". "Why don't you shut up for just a minute, he might spare your life, you fool. Stop getting on his nerves." I said silently to myself, wishing she would hear me. "You might be right, Doctor."
