Chapter 88Alpha Lugard's PovI pace the room in frustration, now even drugs couldn't have an effect on me. I am just tired of hearing Lyanna everywhere, even in my dreams. She should pray I never find her because if I do, she's going to find me very very different. She might even decide to end her life. The door opens, Sam enters. "Any news, just anything?" "I am sorry, Alpha, we didn't find her and there's no clue as to where we can find her." "Sam, are you tired of your work, your responsibility? Don't be afraid, if you are just tell me and we will know what to do." "I am not tired of my responsibilities, Alpha." "Well, it seems to me that you are tired. If not then why are you taking so long to find her? Do you expect me to leave my Alpha responsibilities and take over yours? What will be the use of you, then? All of you are just useless, get out of here." "Excuse me, I was knocking and…" "It's okay, Bella, just talk.
Chapter 89Lyanna's PovThough I was anxious to find out what really happened, we had to take a break to eat something before my mom continued. And right now, seriously, I can't wait to finish the food on my plate so I can hear the rest of the story. "Mom, come on, eat fast, I have to listen to everything before we get out of here, I am just sure something is not right." "It takes about 20 minutes for your system to realize it's full, allow your mother to eat slowly. And you should also relax before you get choked." "Father…" he raised his brows and I frowned. It took some time but it didn't take forever. When we finished, I packed and cleaned the table, joining my parents in the living room. "Huh! I am here, tell me, did the Queen find you? Or wait, was it the Beta?" "It wasn't the Beta and it wasn't the Queen, it was just some random guard." My words. I sigh, lean into the chair and whisper, thank God. "I will continue from
Mrs Coblah's Pov*****Flashback…The city was vivacious, stars dominating the skies, shining bright as though they were joining in the celebration. The whole Palace was noisy, smiles and giggles everywhere.If you were not happy then it means you've never liked the Queen or the King. Otherwise, you'd be happy, it was great news that finally, the Pack was going to have its heir to the throne.One thing was just off, deep within Queen herself, she didn't seem so happy, she knew she was being celebrated for an achievement that's not hers. She's no where close to ever having a baby, hadn't the doctor made that clear? In the garden, she stood in the middle lonely, tears of sadness pouring from her left eyes. Only if she was really pregnant would she be so glad. She stared up, and then later placed her hand on her belly, massaging carefully. Was there a sin she ever committed in her youthful age that has made her unable to bear a child? Did she once speak ill about a witch or the moon god
Mrs Coblah's Pov FlashbackThe following morning, there was noise inside the Palace. Prestigious men and women everywhere are now falling in from different parts of the universe to celebrate their friend's good news. In no time, the hall for receiving visitors was full. It was going to be such a busy day for everybody in the Palace. The king woke up to his wife's call. "Darling, your friends are here, you shouldn't be sleeping." He opened his eyes and a few seconds later, he sat down energetically. For any other person, he would have felt weak, probably having a hangover but no, it was as though the alcohol rather made him strong. His eyes were fervent when they looked at the Queen, a smile running in later. "You feel particularly alive today, his majesty." The Queen managed a feverish smile. "Is there any reason in the universe to hinder me from finally feeling like living? We are about to have a baby, the doctor confirmed that yesterday." With tha
Mrs Coblah's Pov ******FlashbackDays ran into weeks and weeks into months, and there were new faces everyday, coming to visit and wish the Queen and the King well.And everyday, there was another reason to make the Queen angry, disappointed and sad. Her husband has now grown distant, but visits the maid every now and then. And whenever she wanted to talk to him, it was this reason or the other. If it wasn't for work then it was probably the Pack's affairs or sometimes something absurd as a business meeting.For all his wife knew, his husband never liked to attend meetings. It was his brother who was almost around for him. Well, these days, that was his current alibi to avoid her.She sat on the bed, waiting for him to arrive whenever he went. The clock kept ticking, minutes went by, hours followed, and there was no sign of him. Depression set in, she laid in bed, wrapping her body in the comforter and sobbing like a little child. She finally heard the door open, she wiped her eyes
Chapter 93 It had been about 30 minutes since the King had arrived. Anna was getting no better, and they had not reached a decision as to what to do. "Husband, her situation is getting worse, she has to visit a hospital immediately, please. I am just afraid something will happen to her and what? We are going to be a laughing stock to our Pack and our friends." "You should know better, Wife. I hate interruptions when I am thinking. Have you thought of the consequences of sending her out? Someone might see her, don't be coy." He scratched his beard, resuming his deep thinking. Then, why don't we call the physician? You know definitely she would be the one to aid in the delivery of the child. Yeah, I know it would be risky but then again, I believe you will be able to shut her up." Alpha Clinmim looked at his wife for a while and as if agreeing, he nodded. "Stay here, I will have a guard call her inside here." He quickly went out, summoning a guard to get
Mrs Coblah's PovFlashback…. "Alpha Clinmim, the sky is getting clear. We should get home before everyone wakes up." The Doctor said to the Alpha, he disregarded the Doctor. Minutes later, he spoke. "I am giving her time to try to escape, I know that's what she's doing. She's just a fool, why would you think you can escape in my own private hospital? I know every entrance and exit of this building." "How do you know she's trying to escape, Alpha?" "It's simple, I am not as stupid as you are. You never try to put yourself in other's shoes, do you? Well, if I were her, I would try to escape, that's why she's not coming out. I gave her 5 minutes but it's 20 minutes past time. Come with me." They take the stairs down, take another path then reach a smaller gate. About a few minutes later, Anna opens the door, panting for breath. "Nice try, Anna but next time try harder." The king smirked, dragging Anna with him by the arm. "Let's go
Mrs Coblah's Pov Flashback****In the 8th month, Anna had become friends with the doctor. She told her everything and then made her pass information to me. It was another morning and she was happy the Doctor would be coming to visit. The door opened, she anxiously got it, the physician came in. "I brought the peanut butter you've been requesting for, Anna." She closed the door behind her and then sat beside Anna on the bed. "What have you been telling the queen to let you in here?" "Nothing really, she thinks you need medical attention every second. So when I just tell her I am here to see you she nods." "Great!" Anna turned properly and then held the doctor's hand in hers. "During these few past months, you've been such a great friend to me and I appreciate it. I have learned to trust you because I sense your loyalty, I want to tell you something to tell my friend. I do not think I am going to live to watch my daughter grow."
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."
