Alpha Lucas pov. "My lord! The war is fast approaching, but I like to address the issues of last time. " Elder Ryker said. " I don't think that's necessary for now Elder Ryker, we have to discuss more important issues. " I replied, I knew what he wanted to talk about but I wasn't ready to listen to whatever he had to say. " But my lord, " Elder Ryker interrupted. " Elder Ryker, I hope you know the discussion about the kings can have you beheaded. It's forbidden for anyone to talk or even have carnal knowledge of them. So I will advise you to forget about this discussion and let's focus more on the war at hand. In the meantime, this meeting is over. I walked out of the throne room, my mind seemed to be far away, ever since I fell with her, everything in me misses her body. I walked through the hallway lost in thoughts then two slaves walked up to me and then bowed their heads. " My Lord! " I snapped out of my thoughts and then spun towards them. For a moment I thought
Alpha Lucas pov : When Lana sauntered in on us, I knew everything was messed up. Right now, I couldn't justify my actions so I signaled them to vacate the room. " How dare you, Lucas? Why do you always have to make a mockery of my feelings for you? " Lana Asked. She had known that I have always been like this from the first day. but now it seems I had scattered her hope. " I'm sorry Lana, but they are something that can't change. I know you want the best for me and I know you want me all to yourself, but you just are not enough for me. I can't give myself all to you, it's like suffering and dying in silence. " I replied. My words smashed through her heart. I could see the pain visible in her eyes. She grinned at me and then walked closer to me. closing the void between us. " Lucas, I love you and that's all that matters. I believe that as soon as you make me your Luna everything is going to change for good. Then you will get rid of these slaves you are messing around with.
Emma pov. I knew Noami and her friends were responsible for my injury. But how could I have defended myself? " I kept muttering to myself, but suddenly I felt a strong wave of pain in my dislocated ankle. " You should take care of yourself, miss, you were very lucky that it was only a minor injury," the physician said, as he continued to apply ointment to the wounds. I flicked at his touch and then tried to resuscitate my leg but then he smiled at me and continued. " You don't have to retrieve your leg, don't worry everything will be fine. " he got up from the bed and then started packing up his bags. " Am done, make sure to always apply more ointment on your wounds. Am sure in no time, everything is going to be fine. He beamed at me one last time before departing the chamber. Suddenly the door burst open, and then Grace scurried in panicking. " Oh my, Emma what happened to you, how did you get injured? " She asked, as she kept pacing to and fro in the room. " It's n
Alpha Lucas pov: I walked out of my chambers heading straight to the dungeon with the young slave trailing behind me. But then I changed my mind and headed toward my mother's chambers to ask her some questions. When I walked into her chambers, I meant her trying to console Lana. Lana was crying in her arms, as she continued dabbing her shoulders. " Why did you do it, Mother? " I asked blatantly. I wasn't ready to have a long dialogue with them, right now all I needed was answers, nothing more. My mother spun towards me and then narrowed her eyes at me "What are you talking about Lucas, you just sauntered into my room, and the next thing you had to ask me was why I made Lana cry? " she asked " You are very good at playing the victim's mother, but I am not going to ask you again. I want the truth and nothing but the truth. Why did you ask them to latch up the slave in the dungeon? " I asked again, but this time, she noticed a hint of anger in my voice. " I don't know w
I watched as my beta almost went to pieces with fear in front of me. Silly, cowardly man, all mouth and no actions. Sometimes I wonder why I picked him as my beta, but then some choices are beyond lamenting over.I watched as he swallowed obviously, his eyes darting every which way. "I'm sorry if I did or said anything that angered you in any way, alpha. I take back my words: they were stupid and uncalled for. Such will never repeat itself again."All words, again. Just empty words that I know fully well he would forget soon. I grimaced and turned away from him in disgust, walking towards a couple of guards standing in a corner of the corridor. They all stood at attention as I came closer and gave deep bows, all murmuring greetings. They all feared me: even the guards. They all feared me but didn't respect me. They were scared of what I could do in an angered state, but didn't respect me enought to refrain from doing what could anger me.It made me feel a sudden hatred for everyone I
Slowly the throne room emptied out till it was just the remaining guards, Lana and I. She turned to me, arms folded, and I braced myself for what was coming."I have so many questions." She started."Of course, you do." I muttered under my breath, then stood up from my throne. I came down from the pedestal, then walked towards the door of the throne room. I wasn't ready for the drama I knew she'd cook up again.She held my arm as I walked by her and I stiffened, mildly surprised. I never let anyone touch me unless I wanted them to: she was obviously bridging personal space.I raised my eyebrows at her hand on my arm. "Do you mind?" I asked.She didn't let go. Instead, she held even tighter and tried to turn me to face her, but I wasn't willing to. I shrugged her hand off my arm and continued walking towards the door, bristling slightly when I saw that she was following me."I want to talk to you, Lucas." She called out to me and I stopped, turning to face her."That's Alpha Lucas to
Emma pov. A Few days passed by after my incident at the dungeon, and I avoided whatever could cause problems for me including Noami and her friends. Lana, Alpha Lucas's mistress, wasn't happy with me, I could tell by the way she kept staring at me. I also noticed that I was being watched where I go in the manor. Grace and I spend most of the time together, washing or attending to Luna Victoria's needs. Unexpectedly a guard walked into Luna Victoria's chambers, to inform me that Alpha Lucas wanted me at his chambers. I hesitated for a while, but then I decided to go with him. When we arrived at a huge door, the guard opened it, and requested me to go in, which I did without asking questions. The last thing I needed right now was to be the cause of another death in the manor.I sat patiently waiting for hours, but there was no trace of Alpha Lucas. I was on the verge of leaving when suddenly I sensed his presence even before he walked into my room. I was sitting on the bed, wai
Emma POVI suddenly felt a tap on my body, I fluttered my eyes open and saw Grace kneeling beside me, I squinted my eyes closed groaning before opening them again. I sluggishly sat up, stretching my body like a wild cat.“Good morning Emma,” Grace said and I smiled“Good morning,” I said and stood up from the bed we sleep on, I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. When I was done, I came back outside to meet Grace, we left the room and proceeded with our daily chores. I was busy cleaning the windows while Grace was mopping the floor, we made jokes and laughed at our silly jokes. It helps us work faster and forget about stressful the work can be. Our smile died down when I saw the manor lady keeper Josephine walking towards us with two bodyguards, I know something good hardly comes out of her when she works in such serious steps. She halted her step in front of us, and I turned to look at Grace, who looked at me too. “Good morning ma’am” we both greeted her, and
