Alessia realizes that forcing marriage with the only man she loved was her greatest mistake when Thompson, her husband, returns with his fated mate. Even after bearing his child, Thompson's indifference remained. He uses Alessia solely to maintain his reputation. Fate decides to cast a faint hue of light into Alessia’s bleak existence as she's unconsciously drawn to Lycan Cyril, the enigmatic Lycan king whose deadly aura awakens dormant existence. But is this really fate granting her salvation or the other way around? Especially when Lycan Cyril's obsession ignites upon discovering Alessia possessed the rare feature he searched his whole life for? And when Thompson becomes resistant to relinquishing his hold on Alessia?
View MoreChapter 59Thompson's povI stormed to the balcony for some air, tightening my fists on the railings. I saw Regal's car drive in and he stepped out to meet my gaze.I nodded at him to come on upstairs.“Greetings, Alpha.’’ He walked in.‘‘Is there a problem?’’ I didn't care much about the coldness in my tone, not bothering to spare a glance at him.“The lycans came.’’ He blurted out.I turned immediately to face him, my anger melting away for a moment.“I think they were on a visit, but we didn't allow them entry.’’ He stated reassuringly.Was that supposed to be reassuring news?“You blocked them?’’ I asked, amused and a bit apprehensive.I understood that I asked them to do it, but I realised I wasn't cut out for reality.“We blocked the borders like you instructed and strictly prevented them from coming in. They returned home following the orders of the lycan king.’’“Their king was with then?’’ I asked again in amusement, a strong stroke crossing down my abdomen.‘‘Yes, Alpha. Is
Chapter 58Thompson's povI listened calmly as the line rang, holding my fingers in a fist. I was starting to believe what Annalise claimed now that Emelda was refusing to take my calls.“How dare that bloody old witch!’’ I gritted, bringing the phone to my face after another unsuccessful attempt to get her on the line.A message popped up on the screen, and my heart skipped a beat when I saw Cyril’s name on top. I hated that he managed to steal a skip from my heart.I strolled down to the cellar for a drink, aware of the implications Cyril’s message could likely bring about.Settling down before the table with my index and middle fingers caging the tiny bottom of my wine glass, I tapped on my message box. I read through with a straight face, he demanded a reason for my absence at his anniversary ceremony as well as an intended visit to Silverstone pack this evening.A chuckle fell off my lips.Was he dumb? Couldn't he read the writings on the wall?Without much thought, I dialed his
Chapter 57Alessia's pov Tears blinded my vision, I couldn't recognise the routes he took until he tugged me down the stairs to the basement. I heard him punch some codes on the only door that uses a code down here. The dungeon. “No!’’ I grabbed his hand as he pulled my face up. “No please, don't do this Thompson.’’I couldn't contain the coldness of his face. It forced me into believing he had his mind made up and indeed he did. He flung me into the darkness ignoring my pleads, and slammed the door shut before I even landed on the floor. Dust wafted into my nostrils. Smelly dusts that dug deep coughs from my throat. I staggered to my feets and rushed back to the door. “Let me out.’’ I banged, horribly terrified by the consuming darkness. I couldn't even see my own hands. “Thompson let me out of here, please!!’’ I screamed, my heart thrashing with horror at the scary silence that responded to my voice.Did he leave already? He was really leaving me in here?“Thomp….’’ I trailed
Chapter 56Thompson's povI stopped abruptly on my track, Alessia's unmissable scent thick in the air. There was no doubt she was close by. I marched into the living room, eye-searching thoroughly for her without any success. Rolling my eyes, I proceeded into the masters bedroom and there was Annalise seated on the bed. She stood immediately upon my entrance. “Hey. Are you okay?’’ She approached me slowly. “Did you do it?’’ I had it tied on my tongue tip all night, waiting impatiently to spit it to her. The least I wanted was to hear a lie from her. She threw her gaze downwards, shaking her head in something like disbelief. “Why do y'all ask me that? I could contain it when Alessia threw it at me but you too?’’“Give me a yes or no, Annalise.’’ I snapped, totally out of mood for sick dramas. “Of course I didn't do it. You of all people should know what I'm capable of, we've lived together for four years now.’’ A tear slipped off her eye. I hated the feeling. That I could clea
Chapter 55Alessia's pov “W–what?’’ I crouched, my throat running unnaturally dry. “You heard me right. Get your adulterous ass up and return with him now.’’ Thompson glared, uncared with the manner he addressed me despite Regal's presence. I lost my demeanor, fixing my shameful gaze on the tiled floor. “I-I can't…” I mumbled out. “Will you rather I teach you a goddamned lesson right here?’’ Thompson fizzled, rushing to get me.“Not here, Alpha, please.’’ Regal caught him just in time while I'd sprawled on my feets, alarmed. “Get out of this place immediately, smelly dirty thing.’’ Thompson barked. I bolted out instantly, my heart heavy against my chest with tears blinding my vision.I bumped into a few people but couldn't care less until I got to the car. I crouched down by the darker side which faced away from the lights of the hospital, weeping my heart out. “That's enough, Luna. Please.’’ Regal said for the upteemth time, running his palm gently on my back.I couldn't cont
Chapter 54Alessia's povI helped Regal in offloading our stuff and throlled mine to my bedroom. Stepping into the bedroom, I noticed someone on the floor and immediately recognised it to be Adrian. He didn't look like he was in a good shape, the awkward position he laid sent my body hairs poking out on my skin. “Adrian?’’ I called out to him repeatedly, but he wouldn't bulge. I forced my heels down to where he laid, and all light left my vision when I saw froth flowing from his mouth. I screamed madly, my heart bursting against my chest, leaving me nauseated at the sight. “Adrian! Adrian!!’’ I shook him, and he let out a breathless gag. I swung him up in my arms, dashed out of the room and ran down the stairs like a crazy woman. No, I'd actually gone crazy!“Regal!!’’ I screamed my lungs out. “What is it?’’ Thompson yelled into the haze, rushing out to check on the situation. Regal appeared simultaneously. All I cared about right now was getting Adrian to the hospital as soon
Chapter 53Thompson's povMy blood boiled. My veins flamed with smokes, burning my insides. I badly want to shove a claw into the Lycan's idiotic face. It didn't faze me so much to hear Alessia address him by his first name. So many times she had attempted it in my presence. I wasn't so shocked. I knew something like this was on between them. I only tried to believe it was Alessia throwing herself on the Lycan. Call it selfish or whatever, I couldn't afford to bear a grudge towards the Lycan king considering the great advantages I earned from him. If he had remained quiet and just let me take Alessia away, we'd have been fine. Everything would have been okay even though I saw him kiss her back with so much enthusiasm. And it wasn't too late either. He could stop the fuss and not test my patience any further. But Alessia was definitely dying tonight. “Ain't you curious, Thompson?’’ He creased a brow, tilting his head as if to get a clearer access to read me. Why did my heart drea
Chapter 52CYRIL’S POVShe froze. Staring at me like she had just encountered a night ghost. The cold night wind brushed a few strands of hair on her face continously. “Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?’’ I creased a brow, tilting my head to watch her more intensely. “Cause I've probably just seen one.’’ She spoke, breathing out, and folding her arms. Her face changed to a serious expression. “You should be in bed now.’’ I stepped forward, but she stepped back, causing me to stop. I guess my gaze were questioning enough. “Why are you talking to me now, have I been invisible to you all these while?’’ She proffered rather defiantly. “Just ignore me like you have been doing all day.’’“Alessia,’’ I called calmly after a moment of silence, but she bursted. “Come to think of it, we're not even anything. Haven't I been so cheap, giving myself to you so many times out of my stupidity? Let's just end it here. Stop what you're doing and I'll be fine with time.’’ She paused to ta
Chapter 51Alessia's pov “Where are you coming from?’’ Thompson demanded before I even shut the door after myself. I stood before the door, my heart confiscating a bit as my rehearsed lie rolled on my tongue. “I asked a question.’’ He fumed, his eyes gleaming with anger and resentment almost made me flop.“I slept out.’’ I swallowed, almost choking on my words. ”Out where?’’ Thompson advanced. “Didn't you need space? I gave you the space you desired.’’ I fired, my back hitting the door as I tried to stylishly step out. I forgot I'd shut the door after coming in earlier. Thompson grabbed my neck in a strong grip, causing my breath to cease in my nose pipes. “Where did you spend the night? Don't you dare lie to me.’’ His breath burnt against my skin. “There are a thousand other bedrooms in this mansion. I could choose to sleep in any if them like you did the first time we visited here.’’ I used his very own actions against him. My killer counter-attack point. His fingers tighte
Chapter OneALESSIA'S POV"Do you imagine I'm happy tagging this hog along every time?" Thompson cocked his chin in my direction like I was some stomp in the pasture. "That doesn't change the fact that Alessia gets to attend these functions as your wife while I stay home all night waiting for you to come back." A sly smile twitched on my lips, Annalise and my husband had their row about the grand marriage anniversary of the southern territories Alpha and his Luna. Annalise was Thompson's mate while I was his wife. "What the hell is funny?" Thompson took giant strides to where I stood by the refrigerator.The smiles on my face instantly faded. I knew how this always went. Thompson came awkwardly closer to me, towering before me, trapping me against the refrigerator and his rigid chest. His large palm cupped my chin tilting my head up so our gazes could fuse. "Let me make this clear to you, just because I have to stick to the goddamn law and have you attend these functions with me ...
