Alana's POVWe talked for not too long because he was being careful not to get caught while talking to me. The gates creeped open again, and the sticky vomit they called food was served and this time I decided to eat it with my eyes shut, I can’t bear looking at it while eating. The man had told me that is the only kind of food they serve in their cellI woke up the next day with pains all over my body as the stress from the previous day was not something I was ever used to nor do I think I will ever get used to, the pain coming from my wrist was so unbearable as the chains were still till to them. I slowly rose from where I laid and stretched my body so much I thought I was going to break into two. I twisted and turned every part of my body to ease the pain a bit. By the time I was done the guard who comes to pick us for work was at the gate again, and steadily we all marched out for the day’s work. As soon as I stepped out I felt something I have only felt once in my life and wonder
Alana's POVI looked around, ony to see Titan lost in thought while staring at me. He touched my shoulders and rubbed them down to my wrist, he then took my hands and caressed my palm. He searched through my eyes and kept his eyes locked in mine. In embarrassment, I took my eyes off and bowed, he raised it back up and gave me a tight hug. I felt like I was going to faint, I felt like the world has come to an end, I felt like I was dreaming, I was feeling so many things at once and before I could think of anything he placed a kiss on my lips, he sucked my lips so hard and instantly I knew he’s never kissed anyone in his entire lifetime. His lips were so sweet and soft. I was still, and didn’t know what to do, he kept sucking my lips like he got a contract to do so. I couldn’t respond, I remembered how much Lucian hated me and couldn’t kiss me without me begging for it, this feeling Titan was giving me was new so I was transfixed to a spot. He eventually let go after few seconds."You
TITAN'S POVThe Head guard of the slave quarters came and informed me that her name is Alana and that she is from the Crimson Moon’s pack, and that that was the only information he could get from her.I decided to allow my wolf take over as I didn’t want to deny myself of the mate I’ve been waiting for all these while.I strategically planned how I was going to meet her and really hoped she was going to accept me.'I wouldn’t want a rejection after waiting all these while for her’ - I thought within myself.On the next day, I prepared myself and dressed in one of my favorite clothes. I summoned the assistant head of the guards to bring her to me in my reading room. I also instructed one of the maids to prepare dresses and a bath for her and place everything she might be needing in a room opposite mine and told her to come pick her as soon as she’s done. “You’ll be assigned to her from today on, you’ll be assisting her with whatever she needs” I stated. The maid bowed and left.I went
LUCIAN'S POVWe got to the hospital, and after proper examination, the doctor announced that we lost the baby. Our baby, my Baby...... I was so devastated, I felt like I’ve lost everything, like the world has come to an end right before my eyes, I felt like I was not a complete man. Caleb tried consoling me and asked that I try to be strong, at least for Diana, who would be in a rather worse situation. I wiped my tears and went in to see Diana, I noticed she was asleep, the doctor had put a sleeping dose into one of her injections as she was almost out of her mind and was about losing it. I sat beside her and held her hands while she was asleep, I squeezed her hands gently and wiped off the little teardrop that was left on her face. I was very hurt and so was she. But I had to be strong for her, because she was going though pains, the pain of losing a child and the pain she was experiencing in her body at the moment. The aches, the pain from needles, as well as many others. I just ha
DIANA’S POVAll through these hard times, Lucian was more loving and caring to me so he was ready to do just anything to make me happy.Even though I noticed that he was not happy himself, he was still doing his best to make me happy and this just made me fall so much in love with him.Although, I don't really love him as he loves me, but his kind heart and the way he is generous with his love makes me feel comfortable with staying with him.No wonder Alana wanted to be with him alone and have him all for herself.Selfish bitch! I spat out with pain combined with all I was feeling already, I just hated her so much.How would she even be his mate when she knew we were in love with each other?Why would she still go for him? That was a bad and selfish thing to do.What did she expect me to do then? Just watch her be with the man I love? No! That's impossible!She even tried to act like the good one by allowing me to live with them so I won't feel more terrible.Thank the mood goddess f
DIANA'S POVI love him too and I want my dreams of being the mother of his children to come to pass one day, this would make me feel complete.So, I won't care about anything the Shamma has to say and I'll do all in my power to make babies for him, even though it is the hardest way ever.Even though it means me going for help at places I should not go to at all.LUCIAN'S POVI can't imagine that this would happen to me at all, it is still like a bad dream and I can't wait to finally wake up from how terrible it makes me feel.I don't know what Diana expects me to do in this situation now because I cannot continue like this.I had always thought our love was enough but the Shamma only laughed when I said it and I felt like tearing the walls around the house apart.I even try to wonder what will happen to us if we continue like this and they don't throw us out of the pack.Because at this stage that we are, people would no longer respect us or see the need to be under us again.Why was
TITAN'S POVI have started to do all I said I would do for my mate but I don't just get what the problem is with Alana.Only if I knew the problem, maybe I would be able to solve it and make her feel happy and special again.She had this dull look almost always in her eyes and even my wolf scented how cold she was most of the time.Other times, when I did something special for her to be happy, she would suddenly be lit up and joyful but the next second everything would go back to the way it was.I know something was wrong and up with her and the fact that I couldn't even decipher it was way worse and made it so SD for me. The one time we tried to make love, she was feeling the moment but suddenly her mood changed and she went so silent that I had to stop and cuddle her to sleep.I knew she was thinking about something that hurt her that night and I tried to talk to her but she wouldn't say a word.Time is running so fast and I might have to take extra measures into getting her back t
ALANA'S POVGetting Titan to come to my room today again was a great miracle that I did not even believe I deserved myself.I knew that if it was Lucian I did half of how I did to him, I would have been long forgotten and even labeled as dead.But Titan showed how much he loves me by coming back despite the cold attitude I was giving him and the way I was treating him.It was just a night ago that we were making love and I suddenly went stiff with so many thoughts flowing through my head.He noticed that I was no longer responding and decided to take it easy with me and he even stopped riding me just to cuddle me.I wanted to tell him to continue but words failed me and I was so confused as to why my body was behaving this way.It felt as though I was already too used to being beaten and suffered that I could not accept the good that was happening to me.It was hard to believe that someone would adore me and love me this much even though it was all I ever prayed for.But with Lucian,
Titans POVI stared at the open field in front of me. Vultures screeched above me and some poured down to the field to devour the deer carcass that laid there.Kargo and Jacob stood by my right side, staring at me and speaking in whispers. I did not mind. They could say whatever they wanted. My mind was pretty occupied at the moment.We had moved from the valley of death to the open field a little bit far off north from our pack compound. Jacob and Kargo had pleaded for me to go to the pack compound with them but I refused it. I decided it best to sit here in the pouring rain and think everything that was happening through.What the shaman had said to us still stuck in my head, unable to leave. No matter how hard I had tried to wipe it off my mind, it still stayed. I wanted so much to not believe what he had said but I didn't find a reason not to no matter how hard I tried.I had wanted to ask him who the wolf prints that we had seen belonged to but he disappeared just as fast as he h
Lucian's POVWe marched into the pack compound, waving at the people who had gathered at the gate. The elders too had gathered and they bowed down as I passed by, having the knowing look in their eyes. I knew they were mad at me for my behavior recently. Now that I didn't have any reason to go after Alana again, I made a mental note to speak with the elders later and apologize to them for my behavior. But first, I had to meet with Diana."Where's Diana?" I asked one of the guards that was standing beside my horse. I immediately recognized who I was talking to and rephrased my question. "Where is your Luna?""I do not know, Alpha, Lucian," the guard responded as he bowed down slightly. I tapped his shoulders and gave him the reins of my horse before walking away to look for Diana. I walked over to the infirmary to search for her, thinking that's where she would be since Flora was taking care of her and the baby but I didn't find her there. The whole place was empty. It was then that I
Diana's POVI sat on my bed as hot tears poured from my eyes. Lucian's actions now we're beginning to hurt more than before. I didn't know why he couldn't acknowledge the fact that my daughter and I were more than enough for him. Whenever I asked him why he could not do that, he would always denied it and tell me that he did know that I and his daughter were enough for him. But then if I asked him why he was still going after Alana, he would keep mute.His behavior was beginning to sicken and annoy but it was also beginning to worry me. I didn't know what would happen if he wins Titan in the fight and brings Alana home. If she does get pregnant, Lucian would begin to prioritize her over I and his daughter. She might even give birth to a son which would make matters worse."Arrrrgh," I mumbled as I pulled at my hair. Thinking about everything was draining my energy but I still had not come to any conclusion that would be of help to me. I knew if Alana came back to the pack, she would d
Lucians POV"We went after her but we didn't see her," Titan replied me. "All that we saw were wolf paw prints where she had landed.""I do not fucking believe you, Titan," I said with a growl. I could not believe Titans word. There was no way he did not have Alana with him."I give you my word, Lucian, I am notlyinge," Titan said with a frown. "I am most definitely not with Alana." As Titan said those words, I felt a cold rush over my body. If Alana was not with Titan, where then was she? Had she gone missing? Was she killed? And the wolves paw prints that Titan had seen where she had landed, did that mean that a rival pack had taken her? Or had she been killed by wild wolves? There was no way she could have been killed by wolves as she was a Luna and was powerful enough to bring any wolf to their knees. And if she had been captured by other packs, either I or Titan would have been alerted. If she was not killed and was not taken hostage by other packs, where then was she? As if r
Titans POVI walked into the weapons room and wents straight to the inner room. I picked my battle armor that I had hung on the wall and put it on. I then took Alana's cloth piece and tied it around my sword handle. With a loud sigh, I sheathed my sword and marched outside.Jacob and the twenty warriors were already on their horses and standing by the compound gate, waiting for me. As I walked towards them, I turned to my side and saw Clara and Charlotte standing and watching me as I walked by. I could see the pain in their eyes as they put their gaze on me."What conclusion did you come to after meeting them?" I asked Jacob as I walked up to him."Meeting who?" he asked, handing the reins of my horse to me."Clara and Charlotte," I replied, grabbing the reins. I put my legs on the saddle and pulled myself until the horse with a groan."They blamed themselves for what Nixie did," he said with a croak. "I told them not to. Nixie is a smart grown woman so she knows and understands the c
Alana's POVI stepped out of Johnson's car with my son in my arms and stared at the huge mansion in front of me. The building was so huge and I was confused as to why a man would live in it alone.As if reading my thoughts, Johnson said, "I, my wife, my daughter and my two sons used to live here until they died in an accident.""I'm so sorry," I said as I noticed his sad face.He shrugged and said, "that was four years ago so I'm over it. Still hurts but it's best one takes their mind off somethings because continuously thinking about it can cause more damage than the first pain." As he spoke, I could hear the pain in his voice. He immediately suppressed it and wore a huge smile on his face. "They asked for me to sell the house after they died but I could not," he continued as he closed his car door and locked it with his key. "Couldn't let go of it so I refused to. Now I live in a house with five rooms all alone. Well, at least today will be different," Johnson said, giving me a wa
Lucian's POVI had no trust in Titan and I knew that he would be coming with his army. That was why I decided to come with mine.I walked into my weapons room and began to select my weapons that I would use for the war. I picked up a sword and spear before heading into the armor room.I picked up my armor and stared at the scratches that were on it. I remembered the battle of yesterday and how close I had missed a spear that had been thrown to me. The spear had just missed my side by a hairs breadth but had scratched my armor, giving it a mean mark.I ran my hand over the engraved mark and sighed. I was going to battle again in just under twelve hours. I sighed and placed the worn out armor back on the wall.I then walked over to another that laid on the table and picked it up. It had my packs insignia engraved on it's chest plate and had claw marking by the side.I wore the armor, fully dressed and grabbed my weapons from the table where I had kept them. I then walked over to my helm
Titans POVI sighed as I watched the crow fly away, my letter tied to its feet. I have heard Kargos advice to me but I took the other. He had explained to me why I should let Alana go but I knew not to do that. There was no way I could let Lucian have her after all the evil that he had done to her. There just was no way.His other idea of proposing an Alpha to Alpha battle was good and I decided to go with it. If I was to win, I would have Alana to myself and Lucian would not have any reason to interfere in either I or her affair again. I sighed and stood in front of my room door. The cold wind blew against my face and from the dark clouds that were beginning to gather, I knew that a heavy storm was coming. I looked up at the sky, waiting for Lucian's reply. I knew that there was no way Lucian would deny my request as his pride was too high for that."Has he replied your request?" Jacob asked as he walked up to me. I looked to my side and saw him walking towards me with a small dagg
Alana's POVI woke up to the sound of a beeping monitor. I opened my eyes slowly and looked to my side. I saw a long tube running from a bag hung up on, just like before, a pole was passing the liquid from the bag down into my wrist. I tried to remove it again but my bandaged hand could not do anything.Suddenly, I heard a slight noise.I turned to my side and saw a small stroller standing beside my bed. The stroller shook and a small crying was coming from within. I raised my head slowly and looked inside. A small baby laid within, tossing and turning as it cried.The baby suddenly stopped crying, as if noticing my presence and began to coo happily. I stared at the baby and I didn't know why I felt so inclined towards the baby. I raised my injured hand and touched the side of the baby cheeks. Feeling their skin against mine gave me some kind of peace that I had never felt."You look so beautiful," I said with a smile as I rubbed the baby's cheeks. The baby cooed happily and gave me
