Chapter 4
Louis’ POVI could barely sleep with each passing night that passed by. My wolf Lexi wouldn't stop whimpering and calling for the mate I rejected. Dark circles have surrounded my eyes and I look like the shadow of the night.Even when I tried to act normal, the people around me could still notice how miserable It looked.I could barely sleep and when I eventually do, all I dreamt about was that girl Nora. Her innocent smile, intoxicating scent and how her body feels against mine wouldn't leave my memory. I yearn for her just as my wolf yearned for her.I could barely fight because my wolf refused to cooperate with me. We now look like enemies and I hope this would end soon because I miss my sleep and the old me.I climbed down from bed after another sleepless night waiting for the sun to rise again and I can't wait to be in the midst of my people, dictating for them to regain my sanity for just an hour. I went to the bathroom and sprinkled water on my face, which burnt my eyes. I brushed my teeth and took my bath before coming out of the bathroom.I dressed in an elegant robe and came out of my room to have my breakfast. My beta joined me at the table and I raised my head to look at him, I wasn’t in the mood to be with anyone.“Alpha! I have been wanting to ask you, you don’t look too well are you sick?” he asked, and I furrowed my brows, I knew the answer to that question, but I wasn’t ready to answer it and indulge in sort.I suddenly lost my appetite and stood up abruptly from the table. His eyes widened and he stood up as well. “Did I say anything to offend you?” He asked, and I squeezed my eyes shut. He doesn’t just know when to keep quiet.I walked away from the dining room trying to keep my anger at bay because I just want to yell. I sighed and looked at the sky when I came out of the pack house, it was half-moon.“Nora” my wolf whimpered, and I held my head tightly.Lexi have been screaming her name in my head nonstop and I could barely control myself from going insane. He yearned for our mate, and so do I, and I wondered what made me do what I do.Guilt filled deeply into my soul and I wondered where she might be. I really can't think about anything without her invading it. I went back inside and met my beta standing in the corridor.“Send women to my chambers,” I said and walked away before he could reply. Maybe the reason I can’t get her out of my head is that I haven’t been with another woman since our encounter.I walked back to my chambers and a few minutes later I heard a light knock on the door.“Come in” I grumbled, the door creaked open, and I saw my Beta coming inside the room. He came in with two ladies and I smiled“The woman you requested for an alpha,” he said, and I nodded. He bowed his head in respect before walking out of the room and leaving the two women with me.“Come here,” I gestured and they chuckled, wrapping their arms around me. I kissed each of them slowly and they moaned.“strip!” I growled and they took off their clothes.My eyes darted around their bodies greedily, and I smiled. I had the blonde one closer to me and kissed her neck. She moaned loudly while the other one had her hands all over me.I pushed the blonde one onto the bed and slowly nibbled on her breast, she arched her head back and gave me the perfect position that I needed.I stopped nibbling her breast and turned to kiss the brunette one, she chuckled, and I made her lay on the bed.The blonde one went down on her knees and took my cock in her hand; she massaged it carefully and I tilt my head back with a hiss.she kissed the tip and I grabbed her hair with my hands, pushing my cock deep inside her throat.I kissed the brunette one, my hands slowly massaging her breasts and they both moaned loudly in my ears. I turned the brunette one, she was on all fours. Her hand pillowed her head while she raised her ass in the air.The blonde one stood up and stopped bopping when I was on the verge of ecstasy. I positioned myself and slowly entered the brunette, I heard her gasp and I started moving rapidly, she moaned louder, and I had my eyes shut.The image of Nora of I and Nora making love invaded my head and I snapped my eyes open. My heart thumped in my chest.I remembered how she quivered and moaned my name in that same position. I pulled out all of a sudden and the girls were shocked by my action." Go away," I said huskily and they shared a look before turning their gaze back to me." I said leave!" I hollered and they scurried out of the room, wrapping their arms around their breast.“Nora, what have you done to me!" I yelled and threw the dressing mirror on the floor.I grabbed a wad of hair and paced down the room. Even being with another woman can't even control my yearning for her. She f*cking hypnotized me with her body. She made me obsessed with her for no reason." Nora!" Lexi growled and I fell to the ground, holding my head tightly in my hand.I balled my hand into a fist and punched the floor furiously. I had done something I shouldn't have done. I should have rejected her without sleeping with her. Now, I share a bond with her. The damn mate bond and it's driving me crazy.I have caused great pain to myself and Lexi. A pain only Nora could take away.I stood up from the floor, a surge of determination passing through every nook of the veins that existed in my body.I am going to find my mate and make her forgive me. I share an irreplaceable bond with her. A bond that I am not ready to let go of.Chapter 5Nora’s POV I woke up feeling great about myself, I stood up from my bed and opened my window, letting fresh air enter the room, today is a big day for me and finally the mating ceremony between and Austin is happening today.“You are awake” I heard Eleanor’s voice and I moved away from the window, I turned to look at her, and I had a wide smile on my face “Yea I am, good morning” I greeted, and she smiled, her hands clasped together. “I will have the maids over to dress you up for your big day,” she said and I smiled “Thank you so much, Eleanor, I am grateful for everything you have done for me,” I said, and she smiled warily, taking a step closer to me. She held my hand delicately and looked into my eyes.“Are you sure about this? Are you sure you want to go on with the mating ceremony?” Eleanor asked, and I slowly pulled my hands away from her with a kind smile on my face. “Yes I am, Austin has been nothing but kind to me, he has treated me right, and I have wiped my
Nora's POVI stood behind Austin as I watched Louis approach the stage. He still hasn't changed a bit but why is my heart racing, why do I feel this panic gripping me?Going back to Louis was the last thing I planned to do. How did he find my location?How did he know today is my mating ceremony? Has he been spying on me?The thought of Louis stalking me send cold shivers down my spine. Cold sweats formed on my forehead and I could feel my make-up washing off by my sweats." Who are you?" Austin roared, but the wicked smile on Louis's face never left my mind. Why was he smiling that way? I couldn't help but wonder." Louis Rusev" Louis answered and the audience gasped. At this moment, the priest had disappeared and everyone was holding their breath." The alpha of lake pack?" Austin asked again to be sure the person standing before him wasn't an imposter. I didn't tell Austin the identity of my ex-mate, I only told him what happened between us." Bravo, you know me well" Louis applaud
Nora's POV contI sat on the couch with my jaw resting on my elbows. It's a good thing that Louis left earlier of his own free will. I thought I will be back in Lake's pack by now but thank goodness, something got into him and he left.I watched as the pack doctor administer analgesics to Austin. Eleanor was sitting by his side and the discomfort on his face was enough to tell me that Louis must have broken his bones.There were bruises in his arms and his lips were swollen. My heart clenched inside of me and I suddenly hated myself.I caused this, I brought this upon Austin. Maybe I should leave." He will recover soon, he just needs to rest," The pack doctor said and I twitched out of my thoughts.I rubbed my hands together nervously and looked at Eleanor, my heart skipped when I saw her gaze piercing into my soul. She glared at me and left the room. I wonder why the sweet Eleanor gave me such a deadly glare. I got up from my seat and went to sit beside Austin. Drips were connecte
" Eleanor" I opened the door and ushered her in." Why didn't you tell me that Austin was your second chance mate? " Eleanor asked, her hands on her hips and her eyes blazing with fury. Wasn't she the one protecting me earlier at the mating ceremony? Why does she sound so different now?" I'm sorry Eleanor, I only told Austin" I apologized and she scoffed. I should have told her about it, and I shouldn't have kept it away from her." Fine," she said and waved her hand at me." Tell me, do you still love him?" She asked " I don't get it" I replied and she arched her brow at me." That dude from the lake," she said and I knew she was talking about Louis." I don't love him anymore" I replied and sat on the bed." Eleanor, it will be best if you don't bring him up anymore. Austin is now my new mate and I don't want to lose him. I don't want anything to come between us" " But your ex-mate came between you two today. He even ruined your mating ceremony" Eleanor reacted and I held my hea
N O R A I came back to my room after spending most of the evening by Austin's side. He's recovering quite fast and I'm grateful for that. His wounds aren't that deep like I have indicated before, he got a broken arm and some scratches which were almost healed. He's busy attending to some pack matters right now even when I asked him to take a break.I tossed my slippers aside and climbed on the bed. After a stressful day, I deserve a good night's sleep. I drew the blanket to my neck and closed my eyes to sleep. Deep into the night, I felt a cold breeze blow in through the window, but I was too exhausted to care. Something like cold fingers touched my neck sending shivers down my spine and squinted my eyes tight at the effect it made on my body. " Nora " I heard a male voice call in my sleep, calm but intoxicating. My body heats up under his cold touch and I felt his breath fanning my face.My lashes flickered as I forced my eyes open. His blue eyes were staring deep into my soul a
" What bond?" I asked and he drew me closer to himself. " Mate Bond" he whispered in my ear and my eyes popped out of their sockets. " What? A mate Bond?" I exclaimed, I couldn't believe what I just heard. How is that even possible? He's just looking for an excuse to win me over." That's a lie! You rejected me " I yelled and hit him hard on his chest but then I remembered it was midnight and someone might hear us. I quickly placed my palms over my mouth and took a step backward." We did it remember? We mated Nora" he said more like a whisper and I shook my head, my eyes burning with tears. It can't be true!" You're lying, we don't share any bond. You rejected me" I blubbered and the tears fell from my eyes." Nora, are you okay?" I heard Austin's voice from outside the door, his footsteps were getting closer and my heart leaped into my chest. What will I do if he finds Louis here? What will I tell him?I quickly returned my attention to Louis and looked at him pleadingly. His fac
N O R AAfter arguing all night with Tiana, I end up sleeping late. The sound of the maids preparing my bath woke me up from my peaceful sleep. I rubbed my eyes with my knuckles and opened them slowly and saw two maids standing by my bedside." Good morning my lady" They greeted and bowed their head in respect." Morning" I answered and pulled the blanket off my body. I'm already used to them calling me their lady. At first, it kind of feel weird being called lady because I will prefer to be called Nora." Your bath is ready my lady," Leah said and bowed her head. I just hope the water is super hot because I don't want to get out of this bed just to go bathe a lukewarm water.They led me into the bathroom and as usual, I was stripped of my clothes. I consciously wrapped my arms around my chest in a bid to cover my boobs. I still feel weird standing naked before them even after doing it for the past two weeks. You can't blame me because I'm not homosexual.I dipped one of my legs into
walked towards Austin's chamber with heavy footsteps, so many thoughts going on in my mind. I really can't think of any good reason why Austin would summon me to his chamber. I stopped at the doorstep and placed my palm on my chest. I couldn't bring myself to knock on the door, I wanted to go back, go back to my room, and run away through the garden but why? Was it because Louis showed up yesterday?What does he want to talk about?I breathe in, breathe out, and hit my knuckle on the door." Come inside Nora" I heard Austin's voice from inside, his voice was calm and I felt my anxiety disappearing. Austin will not hurt me, that's one thing I believe. He wouldn't do anything to hurt me because he loves me very much.I turned the doorknob and walked inside the chamber. I was awed by the interior of the chamber, it was more beautiful than what I had imagined. He has a fifteen inches LED TV hanging on the wall and the sofa's arranged neatly. This should be the sitting room. My eyes dart
I felt nostalgic as we flew in the sky. So many emotions surged through me and for the first time, I don't know exactly how to feel. Sitting beside, Louis, Christian and that bitch Nisha. I felt like I was in a tight corner and going back home after several months, I couldn't help but feel scared. Even as much as I want Louis to touch me, I couldn't let him because a part of me still detest him. The memory of him cheating on me is still fresh. Silence loomed over us as we flew down to lake. As we alight, I held Aurora tightly in my arms. I left with pregnancy and came back with a baby. I wonder what awaits me. Alpha Rusev, my father and especially Sonya. I wonder if I'm going to live in the same room or I'll be given a chance to make my decisions. Immediately we walked into the packhouse, a gush of wind came and Louis leaned over to protect me and Aurora. After the dust dissipated, I opened my eyes and saw a woman in red cloak standing before us. Someone that I recognized to
He fell to the ground and my hand trembled. The gun fell from my hand and red liquid flowed in my direction.I just shot someone. I took a man down!My body trembled and I held Aurora tightly in my arms. Her cries were echoing all over the room but it was the last thing I could hear.The resounding of the gun and the thumping of my heart against my chest was enough to make someone deaf.I moved my feet slowly and tiptoed to where he laid in the pool of blood on the floor.If the cops get here, will I be accused of murderer? Will I go to prison and leave my daughter behind? I heard the footsteps getting closer and i quickened my footsteps. I halt when a groan came from Austin.Gosh! My heart stopped beating for a minute. He is not dead!" You fucking shot me." He groaned as he struggled to sit up.what will happen now? I couldn't help but ask myself silently with my heart in my throat.what will happen if Austin successfully sit up? will I still be able to escape.somehow, I felt sca
N O R AI kept pacing back and forth in the room, waiting for Austin to return with my daughter. I expected the cops to be here early since I called them about an hour ago.Now, I don't want them to come early, I want to have Aurora with me first. I don't want to leave her behind.I turned to the direction of the door, as every sound I hear sounds like footsteps.My belly churned but I have no appetite for food. I just want to get out of this place with my daughter alive. After, we can leave far away and start a new life. I heard the sound of key being inserted into the keyhole and my heart raced in my chest. Is that Austin? Does he have Aurora with him?I couldn't help but feel anxious and scared at the same time. I held my breath as the knob twist slowly. I placed my palms over my mouth as the door gets pushed open and Austin walked in with a toy, no, a baby wrapped in grey blanket wrapped in his arms. I stood there and watched in awe. Unable to move or utter any words. Is that
~~~~ LAKE PACK~~~~LOUIS'S POVAfter having a long conversation with Alpha ICE, I walked him out of my study and down the stairs. Silence loomed over us as we both had different thoughts in our minds.Mine is to find Nora as soon as possible with this photo. I don't know what's on ICE's mind. He is too secretive and cold for my liking.We took the last stair and approached the entrance door which also serves as the exit door.The guards opened it and we walked out. The sun has risen from its horizon and I believe it will be noon any time soon.His phone rang, thereby, breaking the silence between us. He quickly picked and placed it on his ear." Hello, Jason," he said and I stood by the side and excused him to answer his phone call but deep down I was eavesdropping." What?" He exclaimed and I became more curious to know why he exclaimed." How is that possible?" He asked again." Send me the address and we will be there immediately." He said and hung up. He turned to face me and I ar
N O R A " Austin?" The words left my mouth. I couldn't believe my eyes. Austin, standing right before me? Gosh! This is unbelievable. It hits me hard. The man in the SUV that left the club some nights ago and the sickling feeling. Austin has been stalking me all along.If Austin has been stalking me then he is up to nothing good. His fight with Louis is all over the media. He wants me for something and I won't let that happen. He's too dangerous." Nora," he called and I couldn't tell if he was surprised to see the gun in my hand or scared." Oh my goodness!" I screamed and threw the gun on the floor. I covered my mouth with my palms and whimpered into it.I ran forward wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tightly. He stiffened for a while and then his strong arms wrapped around my waist slowly." Where have you been? Why didn't you come for me earlier? " I asked why sobbing and I heard him gulp.I pulled back and wiped the tears on my face with the back of my hands. I stared d
Louis stretched his hand forward and picked the photo up. He looked at the face of the smiling woman in it and his eyes trailed down to the baby, wrapped in pink wrapper in her arms. He raised his head and looked at alpha ice with his mouth agape." This is Nora," the words left his mouth, barely as a whisper and alpha ice stroked his chin." Yes, her name is Nora," ICE and stood up from his seat in preparation to leave." Where did you get this from? " Louis asked curiously while holding the photo tightly in his hand." My daughter took it." He answered casually with a shrug and Louis squint his eyes at him." Does that mean, that your daughter know where Nora and my child is? " Louis couldn't help but ask.If alpha ICE daughter took the photo, then she has probably met Nora and even be friends with her." No. She doesn't." ICE answered sincerely and Louis frowned." But she took this photo" he argued. He believes ice daughter knew where his wife and mate is." She took it when she
The last thing nora heard was rest in pieces" accompanied by the deafening sound of a gun. Her eyes opened slowly but her eyelids were too heavy for her. Regardless, she forced them opened and looked around the smoky room.Her lips trembled as she couldn't neither Nisha or her daughter around. Then, she remembered the piercing cry of a child and a warm tear slipped down her face. " Aurora," the word left her mouth, barely as a whisper." Aurora!" She screamed, her voice echoing through the room." I will hunt you Nisha!" She screamed to the extent that her vocal cords started hurting." Aurora," she mumbled, her heart contracting so bad in her chest. The thing she feared most has happened to her.She closed her eyes and leaned back on the chair. She kept numbering incoherent words until she felt the presence of someone hovering her.Her chair was pushed up, before she could open her eyes and she felt a sense of freedom on her wrist as the ropes fall to the ground. " You're safe. Do
Nora bite on her lip and fought back the tears in her eyes. There was no way she was going to let this woman make her cry. She really don't know why it hurts so much. She has promised herself not to go back to Louis ever again but another woman appearing and asking her to stay away stirs the emotions in her. The emotion she has locked away in a secret chamber of her heart." I'm already out of his life." She said and Nisha exhaled." No, you're not." Nisha said with gritted teeth and stood from her chair." He still wants you back. He is on the look for you." She gritted with her teeth clashing against each other and the tears streamed down Nora's face." Louis want me back?" She asked, barely as a whisper and Nisha shot a glare at her. The one that could kill if only glare can kill " But I won't let that happen because he is mine now." Nisha spat with blazing eyes and Nora gulped. She couldn't help but wonder what Nisha plan to do with her because she looks bitter." Give me my daug
" Where's my daughter?" The words left my mouth, barely as a whisper and the woman just stood there gazing at me." She is fine." That sounds like my voice. This is weird.Why do I have a woman who looks exactly like me standing before me?" I want to see my child." I said in disdain and she snapped her hands. I heard footsteps coming in our direction and I watch her stretch her hands forward and the next thing I saw made my hand inch and my heart race." Aurora," tears streamed down my voice as the woman held Aurora in her arms like she is her child. At this juncture, I don't care to know who she is. I just want to make sure that my daughter is alright.All through my existence, I've always known one person that looks like me and that is my reflection on the mirror. " Your daughter is so cute," she smile sweetly at aura who giggled at her but I don't find it sweet at all.That giggle gave me the assurance that my child wasn't hurt but still, I want to take her away from that woman
