Emma’s POV“Oh! You must be in a good mood this late morning” Mike said and I chuckled. “Do you think so? And why do you think so, I am always in a good mood” I replied, raising my gown made of linen. “You never asked about my night before,” Mike said, and I sighed, wiping away a speck of sweat from my forehead “We never really talked” I answered and started walking away from him, I need to get to work before I make Lady Josephine furious“You seem to be in a haste, I can help you with whatever you want to do,” Mike said, and I looked at him skeptically, his slouch hat slightly bends on his head“Are you not supposed to be on duty?” I asked him.“No” he replied, and I raised my brow at him, he wouldn’t be in his uniform if he was off-duty “I mean yes, but right now, it’s my break period, let me help you Emma” Mike said, and I looked into his eyes, he seems determined and doesn’t look like he will be leaving me alone anytime soon“Okay, I could make use of your arms, follow me,” I s
Lana’s POV A few hours before the incident.I was busy looking at my newly tailored gown, my hands were on the silk feeling the texture, I chuckled as silly thoughts invaded me. I intended to wear this to the visit Alpha Lucas, the neckline was as low as I wanted it and after wearing it with the corset, my breasts are going to pop out the way I want. My thoughts were halted by a knock on the door, I furrowed my brows immediately walking away from the dress before clearing my throat“Come in,” I said, and the door was pushed open, I saw a slave entering my room with his head bowed in respect. “what brings you here?!” I asked.“Your father seeks your presence,” the slave said, and my eyes widened, I was not expecting to see him any time soon“Where is he?” I asked.“He is at the west wing of the pack manor” the slave replied“You can leave,” I said and he scurries away. I looked around excitedly, I had been hoping to see my dad, and he came before I could send an invitation, I wasn’t
Lana’s POVAfter taking a calming bath, I came out of my room to receive the early morning sun when I saw Naomi walking hastily towards me, I looked around immediately because I didn’t want anyone to see us conversing together “Lady Lana,” she said, showing some courtesy“What brought you to my chamber?” I asked. “It is about Mike and Emma,” Naomi said, and I looked around, gesturing her to come closer “Lady Josephine caught them last night at the abandoned cottage in the west wing of the manor,” Naomi said, and I smiled, I know alpha Lucas will never forgive something like that“What position did she catch them in?” I wanted to be certain it was something bawdy.“In a very ribald state, Emma was almost naked and Mike was caught on top of her” Naomi whispered, and I couldn’t help, but my face broke into a huge smile “You can leave, I am so sure the alpha will take it from there. They should be both in the dungeon” I said, feeling proud of myself.“No, Mike is in the dungeon, but Em
Lana’s POVI felt restless, and I could hardly sit down still, I spaced around my room thinking about how foolish Mike could be and end up putting me in a big problem. I was contemplating on what to do, I thought about poisoning him to death inside the dungeon, but I thought against it, I am not convinced that’s going to work much. I left my room, strolling close to my quarters thinking about what to do when I suddenly heard a rich chuckle, I looked up and saw Lady Arya chuckling at whatever her personal slave was telling her about. She always acts poise and kind. A new surge of anger flow through me as I remembered she once slept with Aloha Lucas.My face suddenly broke into a smile when I thought about how I can hit two birds with one stone, I heard my gown up immediately in a poise position and walked up to meet her, her smile died down turning over to look at me, she held her skirt up and show some courtesy “Lady Lana,” she said and I smiled“You seem to be in a good mood this a
Emma's POVI breathe of relief escaped my mouth when Alpha Lucas pronounced his sentence, and it was immediately replaced by worries when I heard the wailing of Lady Arya, she looks scared to death and she cried so hard“I didn't do it! I swear I will never do something like that!” she screamed and cried hoping the alpha will hear her cries, but it only fell on deaf ears. Mike was silent, and he looked as if he had already given up and accepted his fate.The guards came and removed the cuffs on my hands and I staggered to stand up, I fell down again feeling weak, and I saw Grace running from the crowd towards me to help me, she fell on the floor beside me and burst into tears“I was scared, I thought something bad was going to happen to you,” she said in between her tears and I could hardly form a good sentence, she held me up and the guards dragged Mike and Lady Arya. They were dragged to the execution dock, Mike was pushed and roughly placed on the guillotine, his knees were on the
Lana’s POVMy eyes trailed on her back as she scurries away and anger traveled through me, I clenched my hands tightly and my knuckles were as white as a paper, I barge into Alpha Lucas's room without showing the courtesy of knocking.He raised his head to see me and I saw his tailcoat on the floor and his gothic vest unbuttoned, I sniffed the air and I could smell sex, I bit my lips to control the anger I was feeling and looked into his eyes, he raised his brow giving me a skeptical look, maybe it was because of the way I barge into his room without knocking, but I don’t care.“What is your business with that slave?” I asked in a demeaning way, I tried so hard not to scream in his face and pull his hair out in an unladylike manner. “And what’s your business in what I have with her?” he asked calmly, removing his gothic vest, my eyes swept over his body and the fact that that thing got to taste what I have and what I want for me alone makes the vein on my neck bulge in anger “Why ar
Alpha Lucas’ POVI look at myself in the giant mirror in my room and I feel satisfied with how I looked in my new tailored clothes, the dark blue tailcoat suited perfectly, and I move away from the mirror.I suddenly heard a knock on the door and grumbled ‘Come in’ The door opened revealing Emma, my eyes softened when she entered the room “You called for me,” Emma said and I nodded“Yes, come here,” she said while I was struggling with my buttons, she moved closer to me and gave me a wary look before helping me with the buttons, I let her do it “Why did you call for me?” she asked“I will be leaving the pack soon to attend some meeting,” I said, and she paused what she was doing before she returned to buttoning my sleeve, “you won’t say a thing?” I asked.“Be careful and come back safely” she said, looking into my eyes and I smiled faintly “I will,” I said, and she nodded, and she took a step away from me when she was done buttoning the shirt. “I will call for you when I am back,”
Emma’s POV I decided to go back to my room immediately after I left Alpha Lucas's chamber, he had called me so early in the morning to see me, and weirdly, I wanted to see him too, my heart had raced just from hearing his name and I had found my legs moving on its own accord to see him. I chuckled at my silly thought and pulled the door open, I went inside the room and saw Grace dressing up for her daily chores. “you are just about leaving?” I asked. “No, I had to change my clothes, let’s go,” Grace said and I nodded. We both walked out of the room, heading to the kitchen. I met Lady Lana busy having a deep conversation with Lady Josephine, they stopped what they were talking about when they noticed our presence, Lady Josephine gave me a demeaning look and walked over to meet me.I was shocked when she landed a heavy slap across my face, my eyes widened, and I placed my left hand on my sore face, tears stings my eyes immediately, and I wondered what I did to deserve such humiliati
Author’s POV A YEAR LATERThe manor was bustling with physicians moving in and out of the Luna’s chamber. Alpha Lucas was standing close to the door, too scared to go inside as he heard the screaming of his wife Luna Emma, his hands were sweaty, and he had prayed to everything that exists to keep his wife and unborn child healthy. He couldn’t bare the agonizing scream coming out of Emma’s mouth, he wanted to run inside and hold her, but his council members held him down. He suddenly heard another scream from Emma and tried to burst the door open, but they held him down, and he snarled at them. “Do you love how your head is still part of your body? Anyone who holds me again won’t live to see the next sunrise” Alpha Lucas threatened, and they all stepped away at once, he went inside the room and saw Emma sweating profusely. “You are here?” Emma groaned and he quickly rushed to hold her hand. “You are not meant to be here, alpha Lucas,” one of the maidens said, and alpha Lucas snarl
Alpha Lucas’s POV “You look perfect,” Emma said and I smiled tilting my head to look at her. I was looking at myself in the huge mirror ready to have a council meeting with my council members. I wanted to talk to them about my mating ceremony with Emma, I can’t waste any more time and I want it done immediately “Thank you, you are my eyes,” I said and Emma chuckled standing before me, I bend my head and kissed her before walking out of the room. Ever since Emma and I decided to tie the knot, I felt so much joy that is unexplainable. I feel so lucky to be part of her. I hardly smile but now I smile so often that people around the pack notice, I stopped in front of the grand door and the guard opened the door for me, I went inside and everyone stood up until I walked to my throne and they sat down “I have gathered you here today to inform you about my mating ceremony with Emma, we will start the preparation immediately,” I said and I heard murmurs between the council members “We do
Alpha’s Lucas POVThe happiness I felt knew no bound as Emma finally agreed to marry me, I couldn’t wait to make her my wife and become part of each other forever, there is nothing that will bring me more joy but to hold our children and grow old together “Thank you so much, Emma! Thank you! I can’t explain how much what you said means to me!”I said and Emma chuckled wrapping her hand around my neck “You mean so much to me too, I wouldn’t want to spend the rest of my life another way around” Emma replied and wrapped her hands around my neck, I carried her up and she squealed“I am so sorry for everything I did, I am sorry for not believing you and allowing them to treat you unjustly, I am sorry for taking you in as a slave from your people, I could have done better, sorry for the countless time I slept with you without your consent, sorry for…”Emma placed her index finger on my lips stopping me from saying anything further. She had a seductive smile on her face and slowly pull away
Alpha Lucas’s POV"Spare my life this once, Alpha Lucas! I don’t want to die!" Lady Lana screamed in tears, and it’s so funny how people who want to kill other people don’t want to die. I cackled and moved closer to her. I was going to make sure every one of them pay for what they had done and what they could have cost me. I don’t know what I would have done if I had lost Emma for good."You are going to pay for everything you have done, Lady Lana; every atrocity you have planned and committed won’t be left out, and I am going to parade you around the pack for everyone to see," I said, and she kept on shaking her head, trying to free herself from the chains, but her efforts proved futile when she couldn’t move an inch."Chain her to the horse and drag her around the pack, so that everyone can see the kind of an evil woman she is, she has never been what she proved to be and it is time people know that, "I said and Lady Lana wailed louder and the guards approached her "You can’t do th
Alpha Lucas’s POVIt was another morning. I stood up from the bed to hear the first roaster crow. I took a quick bath and dressed up. I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed.A lot of things are going through my head at once, and the thought of what I was going to do regarding Lady Lana kept me awake for most of the night. It’s so shocking what people could do just to satisfy their greed. It would have been much better if my mother wasn’t involved, but now she is, and she is going to face my wrath.I stepped out of my chambers, and the guards quickly moved over to stand five feet behind me. I looked at the sky, and the sun was just rising from the horizon. The slaves were busy chattering, and they held their gowns up as they were busy going on with their daily chores.I walked swiftly to the dungeon where every one of them is. The guards paved way for me when I arrived at the dungeon, and I went inside. I sighed and stepped into the darkness.I saw Lady Lana clutched to the iron b
Alpha Lucas's POVI heard shuffling in my bed and opened my eyes. Emma was sleeping peacefully beside me, and I smiled. I slowly bent my head and kissed her forehead before standing up from the bed. I groaned and stretched my body before making my way to the bathroom.I had a hard time sleeping the previous night as I thought about what Lady Lana and my mom must have done. I know they must have committed a lot of atrocities, and I felt so disappointed in them, but Emma's safety comes first.I quickly showered and came out of the bathroom. I saw Emma stretching her body as she sat down on her bed. Her eyes locked with mine, and she smiled. "Good morning, Alpha Lucas, she said, and I moved closer to her."How was your night?" I asked"It was fine; you seem to be busy this morning, Emma said as her eyes swept across me."I need to go to the grand hall to continue the interrogation. I promise you, Emma, that I will make the pack safe for you to live in. No one will dare try to hurt you ag
Alpha Lucas’s POVI fisted my hand angrily, waiting for the so-called Naomi to join me in the grand hall. I had called for an emergency council meeting, and we were all seated waiting for the guards to drag Naomi to join us.My patience was thinning out, and I wanted to stand up from my throne and go to the slave chambers and drag her out myself. My thoughts were suddenly halted when the grand door opened and Naomi was dragged inside.The guards dragged her to the middle of the hall, and I saw fear lingering in her eyes. Her eyes darted across everyone in the grand hall and finally rested on mine. I hit my fist on my throne to garner everyone’s attention, and all the murmuring seized"Some men tried to kill Emma yesterday night, and luckily I was there to save her on time. The guards dragged them to the dungeon, and they confessed to their crimes; they said you were the one who asked them to kill Emma." I said, and Naomi’s eyes went wider. She placed her hand on her chest, shaking her
Alpha Lucas’s POVI smiled and buried my face in my pillow after Emma left my room. We had a nice time together, just cuddling and talking about everything and nothing.I stood up from the bed, wanting to grab a cup of water, when I noticed Emma’s necklace was on the floor. I had given the necklace to her when she came back to the pack. I took the necklace from the floor. I knew Emma hadn’t gone far, and I could leave it until morning, but I wanted to see her again.I smiled at the thought of never having her out of my sight. I miss her when she leaves, even for just a minute. I quickly dashed out of my room and walked out of my chambers. I hastened my steps because I didn’t want to reach the slave chambers before I could catch up with her.I looked at the moon, and it was almost full. The thought of sitting under the moon with her crossed my mind, and I smiled wider. My smile suddenly died when I saw Emma on her knees with a knife pointed at her neck. I furrowed my brows immediately
Lana’s POVThe sound of the chirping bird on the tree close to the window of my room is annoying. I stood up and tried shooing them away. I am livid, and I am trying to control how angry I feel. Alpha Lucas can’t just bring Emma back to the pack after banishing her. I don’t even want to lay my eyes on her.I stood up from my seat because I had had enough. I wanted to talk to Alpha Lucas for the last time before I made a decision that I wouldn’t back down from. I walked swiftly from my room and went to Alpha Lucas's chambers.I gently knocked on the door, and I heard his faint come in before I pushed the door open and went inside his room. He slowly lifted his head to see me, and the smile on his face vanished immediately. He doesn’t look happy to see me at all."What has brought you here?" he asked, and I fisted my hand angrily beside me, trying to control the anger I felt deep inside."We should get married, Alpha Lucas! You can’t make me your fiancée all these years and only decide
