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
Lana’s POV I guess I might be collapsing soon with the state my heart is in. I could not place name on the way I feel with what alpha Lucas said, he wasn’t going to push through the wedding anymore and that meant everything I ever worked so hard for was all going to be in vain I can’t allow that to happen, not after everything I have sacrificed to get to this point, tears clouded my eyes at the thought of why Alpha Lucas can’t accept me the way I am, I sniffed and stepped out of my room, I can’t sit down and let everything I worked for crumble before me.I suddenly heard a knock on my door and I wiped my tears away with the back of my hand, I sniffed and went over to get the door, I met Naomi standing and I quickly arch my back“I’m sorry for interrupting you lady Lana, the council members are all gathered waiting for you,” Naomi said and I nodded I had called for Naomi earlier and asked her to help me gather the council members, I had a skeptical feeling that they won’t honor my i
Emma’s POVI woke quite late today, even the roaster crow wasn’t enough to wake me up and I feel extremely tired, I have spent the previous night thinking about Alpha Lucas and Alpha Kingsley, I don’t know what might happen since Alpha Kingsley decided to visit his pack and give him the wedding invitation card personally And I know the kind of person alpha Lucas is, he will definitely not take it lightly and that might escalate into a war after I manage to end the previous one, the thought of both men has left me completely drained.I stood up from the bed yawning loudly, I took my bath and wore a simple gown, I wanted to stay indoors throughout the day and patiently wait for Alpha Kingsley to return back to the pack. I grabbed the comb on top of my drawer and decided to comb my hairI stood in front of the mirror combing my hair and I suddenly gasped, I noticed some of my hair have changed into white and I was shocked at what happened to the color of my hair, I look frantically arou
Alpha Lucas’s POV Emma smiled and moved closer to me, I was shocked I was really seeing her. I couldn’t imagine in years she will come over to see me, she sat on the bed as her eyes swept over me. “It wasn’t easy to sneak, into the pack. You should tighten your security” Emma said and chuckled lightly while I was still awestruck, trying to grasp the idea, the cause of my joy and misery is sitting beside me and she is merely an inch away from me. “Emma…” my voice trailed again and she furrowed her brows in worries, she saw the state I was in and I am sure she wasn’t happy about it. “Why are you in this state? You look bad and your health has deteriorated badly” Emma said and I suddenly felt ashamed of myself, I tilted my head away from her. I didn’t want her to see me in this state of despair, like the loser that I am. “I refuse to get treated, I refused any medical attention” I confessed and she sighed frustratedly “Why will you do that? Do you want to die? It will be dangerou
Alpha Lucas pov: Suddenly I watched as the smile slowly faded from her eyes. Then she turned her back to me. "Emma?" I called, but she didn't reply me. I felt fear spring up in my chest as she stood from the bed and wrapped the bed covers around her bare chest. Then she turned to face me."This was a mistake," she murmured, and I felt my world crashing around my ears. I stood from our shared bed and moved towards her."What do you mean?" I asked. "This is the best day I've had in a long time. Seeing you again has—"She flinched as I raised my hand to caress her cheek, and my hope plummeted."No, Lucas." She whispered. "I shouldn't have come here. I'm betrothed to another, and—""Please don't mention his name." I cut her off, my voice rough even to my own ears. "Hearing about your betrothal and marriage to another man was the last straw that broke me. What was worse was the fact that he...Kingsley, had delivered the invitation letter personally. It was like rubbing salt on an already
Emma’s POVI looked at the pack manor before me and sighed. The guards bowed their heads as they let me through the massive gate, and my heart beat wildly against my ribcage with the thought of seeing Alpha Kingsley again.I have done something I shouldn’t have, even if I craved for it, even if every fiber that existed in me wanted it because I was already betrothed to another. The thought of letting Alpha Lucas touch me didn’t bring any shame to me; the more I try to regret it, the more I feel contented with what happened, and it left me despising my behavior.My steps were slowed as my thoughts ran wild. I couldn’t bring myself to walk with eagerness, and the thought of how I would face Alpha Kingsley overwhelmed me. I am happy I was able to heal Alpha Lucas, and now that he is back on his feet, everything will be fine.Alph Kingsley welcomed me with open arms when Alpha Lucas sent me away; he made me a normal pack member, and I don’t have to get exhausted as I work as a slave, and
Emma’s POVI tried calming my raging heart, but I can’t. I kept having terrible dreams and each didn’t end well. It was morning instead of going downstairs to get my breakfast, I am stuck in my room thinking about how I should go with everything that have happened.I could hardly see Alpha Kingsley in the face without feeling guilty and I feel like confessing everything to him, I sigh and sat down on my bed thinking about what I was going to do.After several thoughts and for the sake of my sanity, I decided to talk to alpha Kingsley, I should confess to him and maybe everything might get better or get worst but I can’t keep quiet anymore for the sake of my mental health.After making that resolution I stood up from my bed and went to the bathroom to have a quick bath, when I was done I quickly wore my gown and I wore my bonnet to cover my hair, I wasn’t ready to explain two things at once, sorting out my feelings about Alpha Lucas to alpha Kingsley is the most important thing.I exha
Emma’s POVI said my final goodbyes to Maya and the pack entirely, I stepped out of my room with my little bag, Maya took it from me and we walked down the steps together. I haven’t set my eyes on Alpha Kingsley since he made the decision to let me go. I wanted to say my goodbyes to him and also thank him for everything he had done for me but I have decided to let him be and not disturb him since he doesn’t want to see me. I hugged Maya for the last time and took my bag from her.“Thank you so much, Maya, I will forever be grateful to you,” I said and she wipe a tear away“I am going to miss you, you are the best lady I ever met,” Maya said and I struggled to keep my tears away, I sniffed and waved her for the last time before I stepped out of the pack’s gate.The guards locked the gate before me and I look at the enormous gate, this place has served as a home for me when I had non and I will forever be grateful for that. I started walking with the hope of finding my way into the mo
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
