Alpha Lugard's Pov.Someway, somehow, I managed to get Lyanna stay with me until I saw Roger drive out. Today is a success but I wonder if I am going to be doing this everyday. "You've trying to ignore the thing that had me come with you. Who do you think is good for me, Mr. Shelton?" A black outdated Mercedes stops beside us, "oh that's my Dad, gotta go but remember you will still have to answer me tomorrow."She jumps playfully into her father's car and I head for my office. There are still a lot of things to be taken care of before we get really close. "Good afternoon, Alpha Lord Lugard." "Come to my office and let's talk, Alicia." When she entered, I gestured to a seat and she settled in. Today, she had her make up limited and her lips weren't painted red, the pink is better. "How's it going about what I asked you to do earlier, Alicia?" She gets up and walks to the door to lock it. Next minute, she was behind me with her hand massaging my nec
Lyanna's PovDad's car pulls over at the car park, I get down then wave him a goodbye and he drives off. He's always in so early, what happened today, I don't see his car around. I thought to myself while looking around for Drake. "Are you looking for me?" I startle, jump a little then turn around involuntarily. "Hey there, Roger, you scared the hell out of me." I massage my temples as I catch my breath. "Uhm, anyway, how are you?" "I feel terrific, actually, anybody would if they first encountered an angel before they got on with their daily activities." I swallow hard and remain silent for some moment, deliberating on the right choices of words. "I…I don't know what to say, Roger. Or do you think just thanks will do?" "I guess accepting going out to dinner tonight will do. Miss Lyanna, what do you say?" He looks at me intently, his smiles never fading away unlike Drake. Oh, Drake? He barely smiles and when he does, he looks so beautiful,
Alpha Lugard's PovI try to maintain my posture as usual but it doesn't work. What she just said got me trembling inside like never before. It's been such a very long time since I experienced this kind of fear. So now what, is she going to leave Denver so I will never find her? I look into her eyes, and I feel her light brightening the darkest core of my being. Now that she knows, is she going to run away and leave me empty? Am I never going to have that pleasure of taking my revenge? Carefully, I stand, walk closer and hold her by both shoulders. I noticed her cheek burning, her heart pounding hard enough that I could hear it. Well, perhaps I have the same effect on her as she has on me. "Tell me everything you know, Lyanna." She raises her eyebrows and smiles. I release her and take a few steps back. With this demeanor I think it's not what I am thinking. "Well, I know you like Vicky and it's too late not to be because she likes you too. It's so visible
Lyanna's Pov "Lyanna, are you still having dinner with the friend you talked about?" My mom asks, I wash my hands, turn around and sit on the kitchen counter. Why are parents like this sometimes? I asked myself as I look at my mom. Come to think of it, I look nothing like her, I have emerald green eyes and she has deep brown eyes. She's brunette and I am blonde, what more? She talks too much about the smallest thing. Is that even a trait? I smile at my question. "Is it a date or just dinner?" She asks again, and I slouch with unenthusiasm. "I think it's just dinner, Mom, don't over think things, please. There's nothing going on between the two of us." She removes her gloves and comes closer to me. She creases her brows, her eyes narrows as a result. Next second, her warn hands palms either side of my face. I elevate my head slightly and looks into her face, returning the internal affection. "Honey, I think it's high time you got over your ex. He messed
Alpha Lugard's PovI look straight into her eyes and something about her wasn't right. She kept flinching and batting her eyes uncomfortably. And anyway, what is she doing here? Just then, the answer hit me, she's probably here with Roger. And why did he leave her at the bar, staring at the glass of water she had. "Where is he?" "Behind you." She replies then fakes a smile as though she's cozy with it. "Hey buddy, I almost thought you weren't coming." "Listen to me, Roger, I have told you this and I will say it again. We aren't friends and we will never be, is that clear with you? And, leave Lyanna alone." I spit out angrily and pulled Lyanna by the arm with me. "Where are we going?" She asks, and disregarding her question, I continue pulling her with me until we reach my private suite. "What's wrong with you, why are you doing this?" She questions angrily as her face scrunches together. "Why didn't you tell me
Roger's PovI was tired from looking around for Lyanna, I called her, she answered but I could hardly hear what she said. And now, no one seems to know where she could be. What the hell was I going to tell her parents when I get home? Mr. and Mrs. I left your girl at the bar all by herself. I returned and found her with a classmate and all of a sudden, boom, they disappeared into thin air. Oh shit, that's so stupid and…I turn around anxiously, the people are damn so much, how do I find her in this crowd? I began to grow afraid, sweat forming in my underarm and on my forehead. Should I call the police or something? No, I don't think that will be helpful. I stand still for a while and quickly run to the bartender. Perhaps she could give me the address of Drake, didn't he say he's the owner of the place? "Hey, Lucy." She smiles then pays attention to me. "For the first time in your life, you are calling me by my name." Her expression changes, and seems sympathetic. "
Alpha Lord Lugard's PovThere's a loud silence in the place, I fear but I don't show because if I do, Roger would find something suspicious. I tried all my possible best to get through Alfred's head but I couldn't. Sure, he is a human but isn't there a way to penetrate into his head?Alfred was still silent because he didn't want to offend me. Well, of course, first knew the consequences and knew it would be better if he kept mute and stared into Roger's face like a stupid person. "Alfred, I must not wait forever, it's late and both of us need to get home now, I guess you have plans tomorrow." Roger presses hard and Alfred parts his lips to speak. "I call him Shelton, or sometimes Alpha because he acts like one." Alfred reveals and I sigh, the heaviness in my chest suddenly disappearing.I smirk, look at Roger who looks like a fool in a circus. "There you have it, did you hear me tell him something? I know it, you are insane, and please, next time do not
Lyanna's PovI know it was so faulty of me to leave Roge without a hasta la vista, however, it felt so nice leaving with Drake, as if we were running away from the world. I sigh, this morning I managed to get out of the house without having to explain anything to them—my parents. I told them I wanted to prepare myself and mind for school, nothing else. And my Dad, he wouldn't stop telling my mom how proud he was of me because I had two handsome successful men at my disposal. Meanwhile, I had explained to them I didn't know what they do for a living. "Hey there," Vicky calls and runs to the park to catch up with me. "I've been wanting to talk to you about something…" I raise my brows as I knew what she was about to say. "You mean about Drake, right?" She nods quickly with a smile. "I want you to help me to convince him so that he honors his promise." "Oh, promise? What did he promise you, Vicky?" I asked surprisingly, I didn't think Drake could
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."
