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
Bella's PovThe car comes to a stop in front of my apartment, I slot the key and it opens the door. Lyanna is sitting with the television turned on. Any person would think she's watching it but a very observant person would notice she's not even present in this roomShe must be thinking about her husband, well, she can deceive anyone else but definitely not me. I know very well she has feelings for him, she's only trying to hate him. "Hey there guys, you are back." I nod, faking a huge smile. "Actually we've been here for a while now, it seems you were lost in another world. Can I sit by you, please?" She nods and I hand over the things to Sam to send into the kitchen. "Can I tell you something, please?" And again, she nods, I start. "Lyanna, you can't be doing this to yourself, you will be depressed and from depression is death. You can't kill yourself over him, I know you love him, yeah, I can also attest to the fact he's so charming. I mean, you k
