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 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 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 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

Thank you!

She had a seductive smile on her face and slowly pull away
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.

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
Emma pov "Alpha Lucas will see you now." The guard at the entrance to his room said.My heart jumped in fear as I realised he was talking to us. The beta grabbed me by the arm and dragged me forward to the door. The guard, whose face was grim and steely, looked away as we approached him. I looked up at him with desperate eyes, but he didn't meet my eyes. He wasn't ready to help me. Nobody would. I was stuck in this, all by myself.The beta opened the door and pulled me inside, and for a moment I forgot my troubles. The room he dragged me into was nothing short of grand.

But from the little my eyes could garner, I knew that I'd stepped into the room belonging to someone powerful.The several windows that punctuated the walls had been closed and the curtains drawn, giving the room a more gloomy look. I could see a four-poster bed in the far right: its curtains had been drawn too. Plush chairs
