Lugard's PovI sit across my desk, my mind heated and my body shuddering somehow. I stare at the glass of whiskey I had in hand for a very long time and then sigh, pouring it down my throat. "I can't remember the exact number but I know it's plenty and I will ask you again, very calmly. What the fuck happened in my absence, Sam?" He's staring down, these days that's not what he normally does unless he doesn't want to tell me something I need to know. "The thing is, Alpha, we were in the living room not long after you left, Bella complained of feeling the world spinning around her. We all thought it was a joke until she collapsed. I quickly sent her to the hospital, commanding the guards to watch over your wife. I don't understand how this happened and it's amazing, you are the only one who has the keys to your bedroom. How could it transpire that she would escape?" "Unless you are not telling me the true story. Don't worry, Sam, I don't normally trust
Lyanna's PovI open the door and as usual, the two love birds come visiting and checking up on me. I couldn't be more grateful for their deeds. "You are welcome the two of you, come in and make yourself at home." I step aside and they enter, smiles on their faces. "It's your third day here, how are you? Still missing your husband?" Bella ask, disappearing into the kitchen and returning with two glasses of water. "One for you, Sam." She hands it over, kisses him then sit beside him. "How are the two of you getting along? Everything cool?" "We are great, very fine. Don't think you can skip the question, Lyanna. Tell me, get it out of your system." Sam's phone rings, saving me for the second time and maybe the last. "Alpha wants to talk to me, I think I should leave you, honey. Call me when you are done and I will come get you. Love you." He kisses Bella, kiss me on the cheek then goes out. "Yep, talk to me, what's going on wit
Alpha Lord Lugard's PovI hear my door open. I remained leaned into the chair, my eyes still closed and thinking where Lyanna could be. I hold her hand immediately, stopping her from going further to my abdomen. "I ask you not to come here, again, Alicia? Why would you choose to disobey me?" "I want to, you can't even imagine how much. I want to stay away from you but I can't, I am attached to you, Alpha. Open your eyes and look into mine, you will realize what I feel for you and you will know it's not fake." "Alicia, leave my presence with immediate effect. I want to be alone and think, is that hard to understand?" "I will help you find Lyanna if that's what you want, but please, I really need you in my life." I slowly open my eyes, glare at her then stand from my chair, walking to stand by the window. "This is the last thing I want to hear from you, Alicia. The last time you were here you made me think you knew where she was and when
Lyanna's PovBella walks to take a seat beside me, drops the bottle of wine and two the glasses. "The evening is going to be long, we will drink along as I tell you everything from the beginning. So, are you ready?" "I am very very ready." I say and then lean into my chair with absolute readiness. "This is the life story of Alpha Lord Lugard, what he told me himself." *********FLASHBACK*******It was just a normal day, the sun bright in the East, fresh air everywhere, birds singing to soothe the people of the West. Young Lugard and his Dad were on their usual expedition into the forest. In the afternoon, they returned to find their Mom busily making lunch. She was beautiful, tall, huge curves and edges, you can't imagine. Her eyes were as blue and piecing as her son's and her voice was like that of a goddess, peaceful and calming. "Good morning, husband and son." She raises her son in the air, shakes him until little Lugard giggled happily.
Bella's PovWithout saying a word, Alpha Clinmim strolled to the queen, dragged the little boy aside and started to touch the woman at places deemed inappropriate. When the Alpha tried to stop him, he took the dagger from the giant man and beheaded him in front of young Lugard. He played with his mother and then stabbed her in the belly. "We can now Leave, I guess but what should we do with the little boy? The giant asked, staring uncomfortable at Lugard. "Drag him along, he's going to be our slave, I will train him so that in the future, my Pack is going to have the strongest man who's ever lived after me." With that, he goes out , followed by the big man. Lugard was so overwhelmed to say anything, God knows if he was ever going to live a life of a normal boy. In the truck where they were packed, he looked around but did not find his friends, were they also killed? They didn't deserve to die, well, neither did his parents, right? What could they have done
Bella's PovI stop talking as Lyanna's tears become uncontrollable. What? Didn't she want to hear the truth, the past of Lugard that has influenced his current behavior? "I don't appreciate it that you are crying, your head will ache for Christ's sake. Fine, I will cease talking so that you won't have to cry like that." I go to the counter and return with a box of tissue. "Here you go, please wipe your eyes, okay? And maybe, let's go to bed, yes, I think you will need a lot of sleep." She shakes her head, wipes her eyes and then sits straight in the chair. "What? Are you not going to bed? Do you want to hear it, everything to the end?" She nods, her eyes still red. "Yes, I am just emotional because I made him lose his best friend. I lied, that boy never hit me, he just placed his hand around my neck like you said. Why did I tell my father he didn't, why? And why can't I remember anything, I am trying so hard to, Bella." "Well, I guess it'
Lyanna's PovIt's hard to just sit here and listen to what Lugard really went through because of my family. Oh, actually, I was also part of the whole issue, and seriously no matter how I try not to feel guilty, it's the exact feeling I am ending up with. I stare at Bella, she doesn't seem to have interest in continuing. She expects me to take all these lightly but that is not me, I can't. I just can't. "I guess we should go to bed, Lyanna. I promise to continue this another time, alright?" She gets up, I also do the same and we go into the bedroom.Suddenly, my mood changes, evening is here again, I am coming to sleep and definitely, I am going to miss him so badly. When will I be cured of this Drake-Lugard disease? When will I fucken stop imagining he's here beside me? He doesn't even care, I know that for a fact because if he really cared for me he would have looked everywhere for me and found me. He doesn't love me, plus, he sees me as his minion, how will he miss me?Bel
Lyanna's Pov "Drake you can't do that, but I thought…" "That's your problem, you are always assuming and I really hate that about you. Can you for once not believe someone?" I part my lips, staring at him as tears drop down my eyes. "Drake, I love you and you are my husband, am I not supposed to believe you? Do I have to have second thoughts on what you tell me or how you act?" "Stop using love and marriage as an alibi, you know I feel absolutely nothing for you." "Oh really? If so then why are you threatening to kill my friends if I don't come with you? Or do you find pleasure in seeing the person you hate each and every time?" "For you, yes, just because I love torturing you." He smirks and I shake my head slowly. "I had no idea I fell in love with a sadist. You are a sadist and you need help, maybe go see a therapist. And I am not going anywhere with you, you raped me, nearly killed me and you broke my heart by letting
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."
