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
Lyanna's PovI wake up with a huge smile, everyone would if the next day is their wedding day. If you know you are going to be with the person you love for the rest of your life. I wash my face, wipe it, and when I am satisfied with my looks, I get out of my room, meeting my new family downstairs. Well, actually, for the past few weeks, my parents and I have been with Drake's parents in their Mansion. And after the wedding, my parents will be flying out of the country to live a good life while I enjoy being here with my husband. That's what Drake said… "Hey there, daughter in law, how are you feeling this morning?" "I feel Terrific, ma'am, tomorrow is my wedding." I get to the breakfast table and hug my kind mother in law. I know I am in really good hands. "Father in law, seriously, I have told you to stop reading the newspapers at the table. It can ruin your appetite." I say as I sit on my chair beside him. He grins and then hands over the papers.
Lugard's PovShe shouldn't think what she's thinking, it's not like we had something to do, we kissed yeah, but I didn't give in when Alicia wanted to go further. She just insisted on sleeping here naked beside me, that's all. "Brother's wife is here, we were just talking about you and can you join us. Actually, no need to feel confused whatsoever. We do this very often, I am naked, he's without a shirt, nothing wrong with it, right? We are blood after all. Anyway, since you are here, I will change and leave to my parents, I still have unfinished business before tomorrow." Alicia says normally and then walks naked in front of the two of us to her closet. "Hey there, wife, what a pleasant surprise? You are missing me, isn't it?" I walk shirtless to her, surrounding my hand around her. "Is she not shy about being naked beside you in bed?" "If she were, you wouldn't have found us together. She insisted she wanted us to be like this, like when we w
