Lyanna's PovDrake get up and I quickly start removing the sheet, disregarding what I have just heard. Perhaps that's how they communicate in this house. Still, I didn't sense friendliness in her voice, is she faking her love for me? I mean why would she have to do that? I have absolutely nothing I can offer such a rich girl. I will understand if she wants to marry her brother but even that one, it's totally unacceptable for you to behave in this way. "Alicia, Lyanna is not conversant with your style of talking. She might think you are serious when you are joking." She comes closer, holds me by both shoulders and looks into my face with plastic concerns. "Hey, don't tell me you didn't take that as a joke. I am sorry honey, so sorry." She says then pulls me tightly into her arms. It's not like I can do anything, I am in her brother's house, after all. I also wrap my hand around her, tapping her gently on the back. "Shall we leave already, Lyanna? Breakfast is ready and it might ge
Chapter 47Alpha Lugard's PovWhat's wrong with Alicia? She will have Lyanna having doubts. She's my family but she can't be entering my room whenever she pleases, I will talk this nonsense out of her. "Alicia, I don't appreciate the fact that you are coming and leaving my bedroom like it's your office. I know you like Lyanna but please, we want to have some time together." "It's okay, seriously, let her be, it's normal. If you grew up without a sister or a brother or anyone you can talk to you would have understood her better." Lyanna says then smiles, she has no idea what she's talking about. "I guess you are saying that because you never had one. Alright, permission granted Alicia, you can disturb her as much as you want. Lyanna you can go with her so she talks to you. Or would you rather I left?" "No, it's okay, seriously, Lyanna you can say anything you have to say." Alicia looks at me, faking a very huge smile. "I know who that girl is, I have finally realized it. Look,
Lyanna's Pov The whole congregation rises in unison as I enter the Church, walking arm in arm down the aisle with my father as the bridal procession song plays in the background. I have never felt this happy, marrying Drake is so overwhelming, I still can't believe it even though I am seeing the bigger picture. I wear an A-line no-hand ivory-white wedding gown, more flowery than a ball gown. It has fitted bodices through the waist and cascades long out to the ground. My hair is tied in a bun, giving my long neck and back a perfect exposure. He doesn't like it when my hair is tied but he will have to manage for today, for just a few hours and I will style into whichever style he prefers. I wear no necklace apart from a chandelier earring and a radiant snow-white bracelet. I begin to feel nervous, perspiration starting to form on my forehead. Ha! I exhale, tightening the grip around my father.We get to the altar and my father plants a placid kiss on my forehead then walks to take his
Chapter 49Lugard's PovThis girl is not just any wolf, she might be a hybrid. I think her mother's biological mother is a witch, that's why she's been having revelations through her dreams. I don't understand, should I visit the witch, yeah, I will, after I have dropped her off home. "I think we should get going, Bambini, the office is calling. Will you be free this evening, let me take you out for dinner, please do not say no." She leaves my arms then starts walking into the bedroom. She's not fine, she's still living in the dream and it's eating into her head. She's finding it difficult to interpret the dream because Alicia is my sister, I think so. I exhale, pass my hand savagely through my hair then go to the bedroom, she's sitting in a chair. "Miss Lyanna, I am having the feeling that you are ignoring me. What have I done to deserve such treatment? If you want me to wipe that dream out of your head then tell me, I will do exactly that, ma'am." "Take me home, Drake." I put
"A Risky Ruse"~ALPHA LORD LUGARD~Pacing around my room, I groan in frustration when I realize that still, Lyanna has not gotten the hint that I want her to quickly say yes to me and tie the knot with me.I mean, how can she be so stupid as to not tell that I want her to get married to me? Does she think I am some Saint, hero, or whatever that would keep helping and acting very nice to her without wanting something in return? Hell no!I am not a saint, and definitely not a hero! I was a villain, and unless Lyanna was brain dead, she should be able to see that. But she never does... meaning that she is, in fact, brain dead.It's infuriating how after all the previous schemes, she has still not agreed to marry me. I can not pour out this much effort, and then she would see it fit as to render my efforts useless.I have been posing as her best friend, drawing her closer, trying to be the one she turned to in times of need. It is a delicate dance of deception and manipulation, and I was g
__•The Next Day•__~ALPHA LORD LUGARD~'Now let's see, Lyanna, how you will be able to refuse me again after I play hero again tomorrow.' I mutter to myself, a creepy smirk crawling up my lips.It is infuriating how after all the previous schemes, she has still not agreed to marry me. I can not pour out this much effort, and she would be rendering my efforts useless.I have been posing as her best friend, drawing her closer, trying to be the one she turned to in times of need. It is a delicate dance of deception and manipulation, and I am growing weary of it.But now, this was my chance– a very good chance to make her see me as a hero.The next day in school, Lyanna comes crying to me about her abducted Dad and I take her outside class, away from the rest of our schoolmates. As we sit under the old oak tree during lunch, her eyes are red rimmed from crying. I laugh inside, already knowing why she was crying without being told. Her poor, poor, dad had been kidnapped and hidden away...
Lyanna's Pov I stand far from my house, watching as the house burns into flames. What do I do because my parents are still inside, and who's going to care for me when they are no more? My hand is trembling but I do not regard it, I swiftly remove my phone from my pocket, and as I dial his number, I pause.Hasn't he done enough for me? And has he not been in enough danger for me? I shake my head, my eyes hurting from the tears I have shared over the past days and hours. God please show me the way, I pray, staring at the broken phone in my headWell, if I don't call my parents they are going to definitely die, I wouldn't prefer that, never. I tap on the call button, and it goes through but he does not answer. I try again then finally, his voice comes in, as easygoing as a stream. "Hey there, are you alright?" He asks, exhibiting tenderness all the time. I remain silent as I don't know how to explain my misery. Who could be doing this? What does the person want fro
Alpha Lugard's PovShe breaks the kiss, remains silent to catch her breath and then speaks. "Aren't you going to talk to your parents?" "That's the last thing I wanna do now, Lyanna. I think you are right, I should let them know they shouldn't bother my guests, I mean, your parents with their anthem of getting me married." I get off her then extend my hand which she takes and we walk out of the door. "Here comes Mr. and Mrs. Shelton, the best parents of our century. May I ask what brings you here? Well, anyway, let's not waste time, I know you are either here to abuse me or force me into marriage. Look around, it's not a good time, would you go and come back another day? My guests are trying to figure out what to do next, excuse them, my caring parents."None of them reply and it's so unlike my Mom, what happened? Have they decided to end the plan or something or is this their own way? "Actually Son, we are here to say goodbye, we are living on the very first
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."
