J's POVThe moment I was done giving a strong warning to the lady who followed Lance and I into the office, I felt satisfied and let out a relieved sigh, while I made to return to Lance's office with a victorious smirk curled up my face.She deserved everything that I give to her. Afterall, she had tried to mess with my man and I was not going to sit back and watch that happen.No one flirts with my man and leave just like that without hearing a piece from me."Weldone!" I greeted the receptionist with excitement clearly obvious in my voice. She was busy scribbling on a paper on the table when she saw me pass by with a wide smile on my face.She looked rather stunned because I had greeted her before and I was doing that again."Welcome ma'am." She muttered as she watched me push the door to Lance's office open. She must think that her boss's woman seemed to be in a good mood today.I peeked my head in to see Lance sitting comfortably on his chair. He was smiling at me the moment I wal
J's POVAfter packing from his office, Lance led me straight to his car parked outside the building. I wasn't sure if I saw Stella or if it was a figure of hers that I felt glaring at me as we both passed the company's lounge, I was certain that she must have seen us.I was not so sure because I was totally carried away lurking hands with Lance. I could not tell if Stella was the one looking at us as we walked out of the company. There were many staffs hanging around.All eyes were totally on us and for a moment I was quite nervous but soon shifted all of the feelings behind me. They can stare all they want. What matters is that Lance loves me and I love him in return.I watched him gently release his hands from mine so he could help me with the door, the moment we got outside the building."Come on in, babe." Lance said smiling. His face beared that warm smile of his that melts my heart every single time."Where's your driver?" I asked, getting into the passenger's seat beside the
Lance's POVJ kept looking around the entire restaurant. She felt excited and over the moon at the way I was able to plan everything within that short period.She must be thinking about how I was able to arrange the date at one of the very expensive restaurants so fast after I had made no sign of going out in the first place."You amaze me Lance." She told me while wearing a bright, huge smile on her face.I took it as a cue when everywhere fell silent again, i cleared my throat. She looked up from her food, then raised a brow when she saw me staring at her. “What? Do you want to taste my food?” She asked, and I don't blame her for that. I had literally dropped my spoon to stare. “No, not that,” I replied. I looked around and finally said it,“Be my girlfriend, J” I know she is not a regular girl, she's different. A stripper, she must have seen and come in contact with so many men but I was trusting the mate bond to help me in this situation. What if she doesn't—“Wait! What?” She
Lance's POVI arrived the pack house quite late that night after driving out of the restaurant.J was currently sleeping and I had to help her up. She seemed to be a messy drunk. After downing that amount of wine, this was expected anyways.I helped her out of the vehicle and told one of the guards standing outside the mansion to park the car properly. Carrying her in princess style, I took her up to her room. Walking down the hallway quietly, I didn't want to make any noise. Who knows, Anna and Daphne might be awake.Getting to my room's doorstep, I pushed the door open with my feet and walked in. The room was exactly how I'd left it.The bed was well laid and had not been slept in. The bed was going to welcome J's body on it. So, I dropped her gently on the bed and she muttered some incoherent words while turning and tossing. I smiled watching her sleep. Her face looked so peaceful and innocent.Her unparalleled beauty still glaring even from the scarce light that shone from the
J's POVI woke up feeling a bang on my head. It felt as though a mallet was being hit continuously on my head. I groaned as I slowly sat up on the bed. A deep frown contoured my face as I stared at my surroundings. This is definitely not my room, why was I here? Before I could ask myself further, my eyes caught sight of a portrait of Lance. He was standing with Daphne in the picture. Although Lance had a straight face, Daphne was smiling all wide, with beautiful dimples at both sides of her cheeks. My heart flushed and my eyes moved back to Lance in the picture. I quickly recalled what happened last night at the restaurant. Finally! Lance had asked me out. I'm his girl now… the girl of a mafia don and a werewolf. What luckI was still in deep thought with my eyes on the photo when the door to the room opened and Lance strolled in. He was still in the shirt he wore yesterday, making me wonder why. “Hey baby,” he murmured and I blushed. His eyes traced every part of my face. “Hi”
Lance's POVI left my bedroom in a haste to reach the hallway that led to the throne room. If I could have my way, I'd prefer not to leave the room with J all alone, but duty calls and I have to join the men.Strolling down the hallway, my mind traveled back to J. I smiled, remembering how she had gotten shocked about seeing herself on my bed. I swear I would have marked her and made her mine right there and then, but Justin had to really knock door at that crucial time.Immediately I got to the large door that led to the throne room, I took a deep breath and pushed the door open.Walking into the room, the elders were already seated and awaiting my presence in the room. I wondered if I kept them waiting for too long.With the looks on their faces, I could tell that they had something serious to discuss with me. I hope I won't get pissed today."Welcome Alpha!" All of them greeted as I walked towards my seat located in the centre of the room."Good morning elders!" I responded with
Lance’s POVI really cannot tell why my heart is palpitating so fast as I searched for J. The thought of J hearing those words said by the elders remains stuck in my head. What if… I swear I’ll kill those Elders and I would do so in a way that no one would suspect that I was the one who killed them. “J!” I knocked on the door to her room before pushing it open but she wasn’t there. Where had she gone? I thought she would be here. Taking my jacket off in frustration, I asked the guard standing close by,“Where is J?”“Sir?” he asked confused and I yelled,“Where is your Luna?” “Sir, she went to your room,” the man answered trembling. I walked past him and made my way to J’s room. I stood outside the door nervous, I wasn’t ready to deal with a crying J, I wasn’t at all.Finally, I pushed the door open to see her on the bed, she was reading a book. She raises her eyes from the book to look up at me, “Ah, you’re back,” she smiled at me. She was calm, she was smiling too. Did she… she d
J's POV“Mark me?” I asked confused. Who marks someone? How? What does he mean by that? “Yes” Lance's grip on me grew tighter as I asked, “What do you mean by that? Is it some kinda werewolf thing?” I asked and he nodded. “It means I'll have sex with you, with your permission of course, and claim you as mine” he explained, making me more confused. I looked at Justin who had turned his face away like he didn't hear what his friend just said “Huh… and why does Justin have to know that?” I asked. I cocked my head and asked again,“And how would that help the old men from not doing what's on their mind? Anyone can sleep with anyone, Lance” I was waiting for a reply but instead, he flicked my forehead with his thumb and index finger “That's why I said you won't know. I'll explain everything to you but can I speak to Justin first?” So I kept quiet and waited for them to speak and conclude but my e
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. I want to be first person to welcome them to the world alongside my wife, J.I make sure to watch her every movements though I know all form of attacks has been abolished and our enemies fully destroyed and eliminated, but still for future
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
