Alpha Lucas POVI couldn’t believe how fearless some people are and could try to attack me. While I am here blaming myself for sending Emma away, seeking her, and wanting her forgiveness, her people decided to wage war against me by sending bandits. I was seething, but I also had a second thought about whether Emma was involved or not.I was still in the pack clinic, and the physician said I would be moved over to my chambers tomorrow. I was almost dozing off when I suddenly heard a knock on the door."Come in," I grumbled, and a guard came inside the room. He bowed his head before moving closer to me."Alpha"he called"Speak!" I ordered, and he knelt before me."My lord, we have traced where the slave Emma could be currently," he said, and I sat up quickly, piquing my interest."Where could that be?" I asked impatiently."She was traced to have gone back to her pack," he replied, and I fisted my hands angrily."You can leave," I said, and he stood up, leaving the room for me.It was
Emma's POVI was shocked when Alpha Kingsley asked me to marry him. My stance staggered, and I looked at him bewildered. I looked into his eyes, hoping he was joking, but he wasn't. He looked serious, and my heart dropped."I can't marry you, Alpha Kingsley," I said, and he furrowed his brows."Why? Why can't you marry me?" He asked, and I licked my trembling lips."You promised to stay away from me, Alpha Kingsley, so what changed?" I asked and stood up from the floor; even though my legs were trembling, I tried to maintain my stance."I only promised to stay away from you so that you can have time to yourself and heal; I didn't mean I would stay away from you completely," Alpha Kingsley said, and I cackled. I blink several times, trying to control the threatening tears from rolling down my cheeks. I hold my gown tightly, seeping my fingers into my palm covered with my dress."That doesn't mean you should ask such a ridiculous question! Just because I need your help, you can't just a
Lana’s POVMy heart kept beating wildly against my ribcage while I spaced around my room. I have lied and said it was all Emma’s fault, hoping he would stop searching for her and hate her, but no! He wants to wage war on her people and probably bring her back to the pack.Tears welled up in my eyes as the thought of how alpha Lucas was under Emma’s spell baffled me. My plans always ended up backfiring, and now he wants to go to her pack again. What if Emma is truly there, and that means I have lost once again to her?I couldn’t keep calm with my agitating feelings; I need to talk to someone, and I don’t know who is the perfect person to convey everything I am going through. I sighed heavily when I suddenly heard a knock on my door.I furrowed my brows, raising my skirt a bit before walking to the door. I attempted to open the door, but the door opened before I could place my hands on it, which got me riled up with my already agitated state.I was about to lashed out at the person who
Alpha Lucas’s POV"What is going on here?! What is this commotion!"I heard King Edward say as we successfully made it to the pack manor, I raised my hand up to stop my men from fighting any further, but they were standing in attention, waiting for any wrong move, and they will definitely strike again."King Edward," I called, and he moved closer to me. His eyes darted across my men, and I saw fear lingering in the depths of his eyes. Our eyes suddenly locked, and he cleared his throat, looking away immediately."What is going on here, Alpha Lucas? Why will you just attack my people?" he asked, and I cackled at the stupid question he was asking me.Packs from different borders must have heard about me waging war against the dark crescent pack, and now the alpha of the pack wasn’t expecting my men to troupe into his manor and destroying whatever we came across."Don’t ask me any stupid questions after you send your men to attack me in the wild!" I roared, and his brows furrowed in confu
Alpha Lucas’s POVMy eyes darted across everyone, I was shocked to see Emma with alpha Kingsley.“Emma” I called again and her brows creased, tears threatening to fall from her eyes “What are you doing alpha, Lucas? Why are you attacking my people?!”Emma yelled at me and I was baffled, she have never raised her voice at me like that, I saw how Alpha Kingsley held her protectively and that angered me “Come with me, Emma! Come with me and I promise you this war will end right now” I said with pleading eyes, she shook her head fervently moving away from me, her eyes were blurred with tears and she sniffed “No I can’t” she cried out and I saw King Edward step forward “It’s all your fault, Emma! This pack has been in peace for several months after I offered you as a truce but you choose to leave his pack and now he has attacked us again!”King Edward screamed “He banished me from his kingdom, he never believed me and I had no choice but to leave his pack,” Emma said and I felt bad, I c
Emma’s POVI burst into laughter when Alpha Lucas suggested I go back to him. It always baffles me how he commands at every given opportunity and it felt like he wasn’t serious. Was he joking?He doesn’t look remorseful for everything he has done, I saw alpha Kingsley stand up from the floor and spit out blood, he stands beside king Edward and his eyes landed on me, I know he was waiting for me to reply and I am not the type to go back on my promises.“No! That won’t happen” I replied and I saw Alpha Kingsley smirk, it seems he suddenly had a new profound energy and his stance got balanced than the way it was before“What do you mean no?”Alpha Lucas asked his eyes slightly widened with shock, he definitely didn’t expect me to say no to him. I saw him fist his hand into a ball and he hardly cared about his injuries, blood was pouring out of his knees and I have to take my eyes away from them if not I would run over to meet him and take care of him. “I won’t cancel the engagement alph
Alpha Lucas’s POV The pain of coming back to the pack without Emma is indescribable, I have tried my best to lure her back but she blatantly refused and wants to go with alpha Kingsley. The thought of alpha Kingsley did nothing but angered me, I had no choice but to let him be for now without taking any drastic measures.I don’t want to do anything that will make Emma go further away from me, the sun shines its light on my room and I angrily dragged my curtain down, that is not my cause of concern right now. I suddenly heard a knock on my door which angered me, everything act gets me annoyed. The knocking continues and I angrily went over to open the door. “Who is it?”I roared, my furrowed brows suddenly calmed down when I saw my mother standing before me, she gave me a scrutinizing gaze and sigh “Alpha Lucas?” she called but I ignored her and went back to my room, I sat down and she came closer to me. Her mouth was sealed probably calculating the words she wants to say to me. “W
Emma’s POVMy heart feels so heavy and I could barely eat, I pretend to feed when I am with alpha Kingsley so that he won’t get to know what is going wrong with me, I sat down by the window side of my room looking at nature and I tried to find peace within myself which I haven’t been able to find.As each day passes and it gets closer to the wedding ceremony, my heart gets heavier and I wondered if people around me can’t feel it, they are so happy and busy preparing for the grand wedding while the bride to be us withering in pain because I wasn’t with the person I want to be with. I suddenly held a knock on my door jolting me from my reverie, I sluggishly stood up from the stool I was sitting on inside my room, I held my skirt up while I went for the door, I held the doorknob and pushed the door open, I saw one of the servants standing before me.“Good evening lady Emma, Alpha Kingsley seeks your presence in his chambers,” she said and I furrowed my brows immediately, I have always a
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
