The bitch dared to repeat her words, and without a second thought, my shoe went flying across the room hitting her squarely on her face,“Ouch! You little whore!” She yelled before rushing towards me. I didn't wait for her to get to me before I attacked her as well. I knew I was late for work but I was upset as it was. All the anger I had been holding in because of what her father did to me came rushing in.How dare those motherfuckers try to sell me to some old hag? “You crazy bitch! You're the whore!” Literally, I had seen her several times in the club with men old enough to be her father. Useless thing pretending to be a saint in front of her parents. She held my hair like the bitch that she was and pulled it hard causing me to whine. My hand grabbed her by the neck and forced her on her knees. Her hands let go of my hair as I jumped on her and gave her a dirty slap. Our screams alerted the rest of them at home, causing them to run out, including Anna. I didn't want her seeing me
“Red temptress,” Boss Austin called in surprise when he saw me in his office. I wasn't supposed to be here on a Saturday night. My working days are only Wednesdays and Fridays. “Hey boss” my voice was low as I looked at him with sorrowful eyes. I made sure he saw the bruises on my face.“What the fuck happened to you?” He asked and I began to explain.“I was going out last night back home when some men came attacking me. They did this to me. They were customers from the club” “Shit!” He cussed. I could see the pain mixed with anger in his eyes. “Fuck, I'm sorry” he breathed out after a while.“Yeah, they took all my money,” I added and I saw how his eyes moved left and right. I wasn't going to ask him to pay because they were his customers but the guilt here, this was meant to happen for other things to take place. Like this…“I really needed that money, boss. I don't know if you can—”“Listen, Red, I didn't send those people. You know that, right?” “Of course, I know that. I neve
I tried to ignore his gaze filled with rage that I could clearly feel from where I was. I took another bottle of alcohol and poured it on my skin. The scream almost deafened my ears, hands reached out to touch me and I could feel the gaze of Mr Lance more intense, like he was coming for a kill. He asked me earlier not to come to the club but I was very good at doing the opposite of what people wanted. I wasn't going to listen, he wasn't putting food on my table so he wasn't going to tell me to stop my work. He doesn't own me. These are words I kept telling myself as I danced, trying so hard to ignore his gaze. I hated the fact that he was not staring at me with the lustful look like yesterday. And as if enchanted, I stepped down from the bar and swayed my hips left and right, I made my way to his table with a bottle of drink in my hand. His eyes followed me till I stopped right in front of him, a smirk appeared on my lips, “Care for some?” I asked him but he didn't respond. I po
Till I left the bar, I didn't know what I was doing, my legs were like jelly, and I didn't know how I made my way to the dressing room. I rushed into the bathroom with the bundles of cash and locked myself in it. Taking off my tight pants, my fingers dipped into my wet core and I moaned. “Goddamn it! Fuck you, Mr. Lance!” That man made me do what I never wanted to do with anyone. Not only did I do it, I did it publicly. I tried my best not to give any customer a private dance but I had given Mr. Lance a private dance publicly twice. We had even gone farther than that. I was short of words, I didn't know what that man did to me to make me accept his invitation. The money wasn't bad though. I have never received such a pay before “So much for keeping to myself. I'll have to tell that man to stop coming to the club else I might one day fall into his trap” Sighing in frustration, I wore my tight, ready to go out when I heard the heavy slam of the door“And Boss wouldn't warn her!” “
Lance's POVI stood outside the club waiting for her. I won't have her going home so late on her own again. This girl whom the moon goddess had given to me as a mate was just too stubborn. The very first time I noticed this was at the club yesterday, the sweet smell made me snap my head from the dancer I was watching earlier to the girl who came a bit late for her own Performance. My mouth almost hung in shock, how could the moon goddess give me a stripper as a mate? That wasn't what pissed me off, in fact, it was how she danced sexily for other men for money. My mate! I almost ran mad. I thought yesterday was worse until I met her today. That stubborn she-goat! How dare she do that with other hungry-looking men! How do I stop her from doing this with people?I knew all of a sudden that I had to protect her, I knew I couldn't leave Pennsylvania without taking her with me. She was my mate after all. It happened so quickly that I wondered why she hadn't noticed that I was her mate u
“Hello Mister,” She came to stand in front of me, her hand on her hips as she looked at me with seductive eyes that made me almost roll mine. “I know you must be upset at Red Temptress for not going all the way with you” she began, her hands moved to my chest as she began to play with my buttons, “The rest of us aren't that way. Red pretends to be innocent and clever when she's just a little slu—”I flung her hands away before placing an order, “Take her out of my sight!” “What!” Her eyes went wide, “You can't be serious, right? I'm saying I can give you a good fuck. Ask the ladies, I'm the best at giving blowjobs! Hey, don't touch me!” She yelled when one of the Beckers tried to pull her away. The frown on my face remained even after the whore was out of my sight, along with her scream caused me to cringe. Very annoying whore. Not only did she have the guts to touch me, but she thought she could insult my mate, how despicable. My eyes moved to check on my wristwatch, it was lat
Maria J POV My mind could not stop wandering as I thought of the words they had said to me. They were the ones who told the old man about me and also gave out my identity. I knew there was no way they could have known, not when I was always in disguise. I knew they hated me, but was it enough for them to sell me out like that? I'll never do that to them. I thought we were partners. How could they do something so horrible?Crying right there wasn't because I was hurt by them, although they had thrown me to the ground when they caught me, I wasn't so hurt to have shed tears. I cried because I never expected that people I worked with would go to that extent to hurt me. They were monsters, wicked beasts! They sent the old man at me. I was so lost in thought, that I didn't know that I had gotten home. My fingers were clenched on my thighs, my eyes looking ahead of me when I heard him say, “See why you need to stop going there? It's not safe. You need to quit working there” Slowly, my
Morning came faster than every other day, the frown on my face clearly made everyone stay away from me including Aunty and the nuisance she calls children. I had slept for only three hours and that wasn't enough for me at all. It was true that I had come home late from the club but if I had slept at exactly 1 am when I had stepped into the house, it wouldn't have been a problem. The problem was that the bastard had sent that text message that made me lose my sleep. My eyes refused to catch any sleep, I stayed awake thinking of him till 4 am! It was enough for me to be pissed. And I had to leave early today because I had gone late to work the previous day which angered my boss so much. I didn't want to take that risk today. Anna was still sleeping when I left the house. When I got out of the house, the frown on my face only deepened. There was a car in front of my house. No wonder Aunty and her children looked at me with keen eyes when I was leaving just now. I had totally forgott
Lance POVAfter our honey moon which was the best moments I've ever had in my entire existence, even the one spent with my parents wasn't half of what I had with J. I had taken my time to enjoy every moment with her because I would want to remind and reminisce on the good old days and also relay to my children.We came back to the park to meet everything in order, Justin had a good job managing the palace alongside the elders till my arrival, Anna and my sister are also in good health.So all business kicked back, solving palace issue as well as the other world which you all know, J remains in the palace and I try as much as possible to be available due to her heavy state, I wouldn't want to be missing during my baby or babies arrival to the world.

J's POV I ran down the wet beach chased hotly by lance, the wind blew my hair making me not keep up with the run. He's closing up on me when I turned back to check him, and I ran faster although my heavy protruded stomach won't let me.The wetness of the beach water against the sole of my foot warmed me up, sending sweet and tantalizing shivers down my spine. The air is sweet and smell like a perfume.When I looked back. Lance was at that same pace and metre he was and I'm obvious of what he's doing. He wants me to have the run to my satisfaction and enjoyment before filling the gap with his long legs and grabbed me to himself.I slowed down tired of running. You can call me lazy, that I'm happy with. In fact I would tell you I'm one. Do you think its easy carrying a baby and running at the same time? What sory of punishment is that? Isn't it torture of the highest order?Lance hands wrapped around my waist as he pulled me back to his body, he lowered his head and kissed my cheek, t
J's POVIt was finally the day of our mating ceremony. According to what Lance told me, this was a common ritual practiced in the pack and it had to be done officially to declare us both as husband and wife.It still feels like a dream sometimes when I think about all that has happened in the past so far. After all we'd gone through, the challenges and the issues that we had to both fight to get here. This was an answer to all of our prayers."You look so beautiful ma'am." The maid who had helped me get ready for the mating ceremony said to me the moment I was all set and ready to leave for the event."Thank you." I muttered, smiling as I looked at myself in the mirror. The dress on me looked so beautiful and this time, my stomach was bulging out of it too. I was six months gone already.Anna and Daphne came to check on me too. I couldn't be happier. Today was a very great day. The entire pack and council of elders who had once been against Lance's relationship with me had finally acc
J’s POVThe moment I walked into the throne room, my eyes scanned through the old men who seemed busy with their meeting, the moment Lance gazed rested me, he looked quite perplexed. He stood up from where he sat in a hurry and ran at me at a fast pace“J!”Lance pulled me into a hug and kissed me deeply ignoring everyone. I also reciprocated the kiss ignoring the old man's gazes. I mean I miss Lance, if I had the chance I would have preferred pulling him into a room with me and putting an end to all my cravings. We finally stopped kissing and Lance looked at my face with a little worry on his face“Are you okay? Do you feel more better?” He asked hurriedlyI smiled brightly seeing how Lance was concerned about me“I’m fine, Lance.” I mouthed“I’m glad you are okay. I thought I was going to lose you.” Lance added and sighed“I’m not leaving you behind when you have a lot of bitch around you.” I sneered and my eyes went over to Wendy who was on her knees with my other criminal family
Lance POVThe throne room was in chaos, I sat on the throne with a little stain of anger on my face, and before me were Wendy, Uncle Jimmy, Melissa, Aunty Claire, and Melinda. They had their head bowed in shame and begged for forgiveness under their breath but I ignored that.My anger increased even more at the thought of J who was unconscious because of their mistakes, and their greediness. I clenched my fist tightly, if anything goes wrong with J or my cubs they will end up regretting why they were born.They were all on their knees waiting for Judgment to be passed on them. Uncle Jimmy tried to struggle with the shackles but no matter how he tried he would never break through, no matter how he tried to release himself it wasn’t working out.After so many attempts, he was already getting weak, I watched him relax his muscles with regrets in his eyes, but I wanted to see more of that. I wanted him to regrets been born. I wanted to revenge trying to hurt me and my mate. “You caused e
J’s POVThe ray of the sun emitting from the window blind managed to jolt me back to consciousness. My lashes trembled and my eyes quietly opened up, the whole room was quiet as a graveyard and the only thing I could see was the white curtains, for a minute I thought I was dead and was in Heaven but when my eyes caught the sight of the chandelier in my room and I heaved a sigh of relief.My eyes opened up widely and it began to scan through the familiar room that I instantly guessed was mine. The memory of everything that had happened flashed back into my head in a flash, how I met Melinda and Melissa and how they had sprayed me and Tina and we till we lost consciousness, I panicked slightly at the thought of Tina and I wondered if she was okay.I ignored my head hurt badly and sat up on the bed instantly on my bed, My eyes continued scanning through the room which was perfectly arranged with no traces of any intrusion.The last thing I saw was Lance before I lost consciousness. My
Lance POVI raced down the pathway towards the pack, I'm beginning to accustom myself to the unbearable pains. At some point, I felt like giving up but I now I have J to save and my little baby sitting perfectly in her womb.As soon as I got to the pack, I rushed towards the hospital not far from the mansion."Doctor?" I yelled carrying J in my arms to an available ward."Doctor, Damn you, where are you?" I yelled again this time louder.A door directly opposite to where I'm standing opened and he came out looking weirdly."So you were here all this while and you hear me call you, you decided to keep quiet and play dumb?" I asked rage pumping through my veins."What's it Alpha?, you've any idea this is an hospital and patients are in the ward receiving treatment and sleeping. What is it?" He asked."Are you asking me? If you seriously wanted to know, why didn't you answer me the first time I called you?" "Stop behaving like a child and talk to me. What's it?" His voice betrayed no em
Lance POVPains , sweet pains I've never known watched through me, down my spine to my organs filling my lungs and almost choking me out of breath and dissipating me out of this world. My hands wrapped around my head as I fight a sudden nostalgia, I don't even know exactly what its, why the pains are bitter in most cases, some are sweet and enticing. I buried my heads downward trying to control my system to be in motion with the whatever it's I'm facing."You see?" Uncle Jimmy's mockery voice rose above my head, drowning my pains and fears."You see?" He repeated again. "Look at where it has landed you, remember how you were behaving? All so powerful and knowing? You crushes those guards with your bare hands, you felt like the most strongest man but look at you,lying down on the floor,groaning in pains. Screaming and mumbling words like a little baby." His voice continued non stop as he bickered and spewed rubbish.Half I listened, half I let pass through my eardrums and out the oth
Lance POV From beyond, my nose picked up J’s unmistakable scent, my heart pounding with a mix of hope and dread. I picked up my pace, but came to a halt when my nose picked up another scent, mine. Wary once more, I picked up my pace, quieter this time, and looked towards the source. Beyond the trees was what looked like a cave. I had no doubt J was there. I glanced behind him and beside the cave, but I couldn’t pick up any scent apart from ours. This wasn’t going to work. J could be at risk currently while I was waiting on a ghost. I left the comfort of the trees and dashed into the cave. There she was, lying motionless on the ground…“J?” I shouted, my heart dropping when she didn’t respond.I rushed to her side and growled in fury when I noticed that her hands and legs had been tied to the stone. Desperately, I placed a finger under her nose and on her wrist and finally breathed again when I noticed that she was still breathing. Her pulse also sounded strong. Just unconscious then
