Chapter 60Lyanna's Pov… I sink on the bed, tearing apart inside but refusing to cry. I mean, I had enough already yesterday and my head still aches from that. My eyes are also hurting like bad. Anyway, where's my phone? I need to reach my parents and ask them if they have landed successfully. Well now, part of me does not trust Drake. I don't even know if he's thrown them into an ocean, oh Heavens no, please keep my parents safe.I hurriedly go to the adjoining room, open my bag and then start searching for my phone. I am sure I placed it in one of these bags, but why can't I find it? I ask myself as I finish searching all my three suitcases. This is also the doing of Drake, he has my phone, he fucken has my phone. What's wrong with him? My gaze diverts to the bed and I feel disgusted instantly. This is where he made love to someone else when I slept alone on that huge cold bed in my gown. I wish I were dreaming, at least I will wake up to a normal world, everyone acting so love
Alpha Lugard's Pov "You never do listen, Lyanna, I told you not to come out but I guess you want to find out what I can do, don't you?" I come into the clearing where she sees me. "Where have you sent my parents, Drake." "This should be the last time you call me that, do you understand me? I say, my voice threatening a bit but she does not appear to be afraid. What will I do with you, Lyanna? "Where have you sent my parents is the question I asked you. Tell me or I will run and you will never find me ever again." "You are very funny, do you know that? This forest is being secured by long walls and at the gate are so many men. Do you think I am stupid, you little child? Do not try to play games with me, now, come with me." I turn, but turn again when I see her still standing. "Will you mark me if I go with you, Alpha?" She calls, a smile splays on my face, I would love to hear that again, it sounds so different she says it.
Chapter 62 Lyanna's PovI take my bath alone and he also does it alone. Well, no matter the things he's been doing to me these days, I still find it impossible to hate him even though I am trying my very best. I wanted to take a bath with him but he rejected me. Now I am in his closet dressing up for dinner. I feel very hungry, you know, how long have I been starving myself? "I want you to excuse me while I get dressed up." I look up at him, his wet hair, beautiful and the way the hairs on his chest lay humbly makes me think of nothing other than kissing him all over. The only thing that's stopping me is that I fear he might painfully reject me, that's his current doing, anyway. "Stop looking at me, didn't you hear what I said?" I bend my head, my gaze lands on his abdomen where the towel rested. I swallow the invisible saliva in my throat then look up at him again. "Can my husband kiss me? Or can I kiss my husband?" His eyes soften but he doesn't say
Drake's PovI miss you more than you can even imagine. And with you doing this, it makes me remember the very first time you came here. The kiss, the dance, her seduction and everything, I want to fucken make love to her now. "Go and shower, come back and sleep, I am going to the club and I won't return until tomorrow, don't do anything stupid." She frees me and the next minute, she's standing in front of me. "Are you leaving me again? You didn't even answer my question. Why are you doing this, Drake, I can't sleep in here alone. It's okay, I will ask Sam to satisfy me then spend the night with me, you are free to go." Without waiting for me to say anything, she runs out of the room. I pace up and down, thinking of what's going on at this moment. The door finally opens and she comes in with Sam, my Beta. "Sam, my husband said he's going out to the club, I don't know for what and I don't think I care. Can you keep me company, please?" She smiles
Lyanna's PovI get home, take my bath and join them at the breakfast table. I couldn't stop thinking about yesterday, trying to remember how sweet he was , but the harder I try, I feel my head ache really bad. "Bella, I will have some sleep and have my breakfast later, thanks." "For the meantime is there anything I can get you? Probably tea or coffee?" "No, thank you, last night I barely had any sleep. So…" I pause, the horrifying look Alicia has is so satisfying. "All I want to do now is to sleep and gather enough energy for tonight. You know what I mean?" I smile, she smiles then winks at me. "Alpha, may I leave my room to have some rest?" I bow my head, hoping he would have mercy on me to give me permission to go. Damn all these rules! "Yes, you can leave." I walk to his seat, kiss him on the cheek before going up to my room. I am going to make Alicia see she's being used and maybe, just maybe, she might come to her
Lugard's PovI can't hate myself less, nor can I forgive myself for nearly killing Lyanna. I can explain if she would give me the chance, okay? I was on drugs and I wasn't thinking clearly. Fuck! I told her not to disturb me, and I thought she was gonna listen. I pour myself a glass of coffee and go out of the kitchen. It's still in the night, I have not been able to face her after seeing the two of us together. I was mean to her, so mean and now she hates me, I believe it because I have never heard her speak in such a tone of voice. Congrats, now what is it that I want? Now that she really hates me, what will I do? Will I continue to punish her for her parents' wickedness? I go into my study, finish the coffee and then lean into my chair with my eyes closed. "I am sorry, my Bambini, I am so sorry, forgive me. It wasn't part of the plan to hurt you. Well, at least not this kind of hurt." I repeat in my head several times, finding it difficult to sleep.This ends tomorrow m
Lyanna's PovI sigh, after looking out of the window. Bella stares for a long while then shrugs before sitting beside me on the bed, patting me gently on the shoulder. "You can't hide in my room forever, my queen, you have come out of here eventually." I shake my head then get up and leaning my back against the wall. "I don't want to see him, I don't want to see his face. I think you don't understand, do you? He's sick, he needs to see a doctor." "I am not a…well, a very good doctor. You know what I mean, right? But I can tell when someone is sick, and Drake, he isn't, he's just doing that to himself. He's made himself addicted to Drugs. You are the only person who can do something about him." "You are so wrong, Bella, there's nothing to be done. I have tried being everything good for a man but he wouldn't just change." "Uhm, let's analyse something, before the wedding when you guys had your thing. You sometimes visit him, right? And di
Bella's Pov "Are sure he's the one, it might be his driver, I just saw him on the tv, Sam. Please drive, I am still unconscious, you know?" He looks at me through the mirror and then smiles. Each and everyday, he gives me a reason for me to love him more and more. Today, he has to betray his boss for me, wow, does it mean he likes me? No, I mean love me? Or is it too early to be thinking that? Perhaps let me not uhm, let me not expect too much, men are men. And besides, I don't even know if he has a girlfriend or not. I guess he's good to everyone, Lyanna's story might have touched him. "You can stop being unconscious, Bella, we are on the road now." I hear him laugh out loud, I sit up and hit him from the back on his shoulder. "What's funny? Oh, you should stop at a place so that Lyanna comes to join us here, she might be very uncomfortable there." "She will have to manage, sweetheart, until we are able to reach our destination. Speaking of which, w
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."
