J's POVThe elders weren't the only ones shocked, I was too. Because I didn't want to show it, I turned to Lance and asked, “Really?” My eyes were teary, as I wanted Alora to get choked with PDA. I held Lance close, my back facing them as my hand roamed around his chest.“Of course, baby” he replied and I smiled,“I love you,” I claimed in his lips with mine in a kiss that he intensified, grabbing my butt and causing me to moan in his mouth. “Wow,” I heard a lady's voice but knew it wasn't Alora but the other lady. When we finally broke the kiss, I turned to the crowd and grinned, “My husband-to-be” “Congratulations,” the lady stood up and came to shake hands with me. “I wish you a happy married life” “Elena!” I heard an elder calling in anger and she turned to face the man innocently. “Father”“What do you mean by wishing them a happy married life? That's your husband-to-be!” “You mean one of them’s husband. Don't forget my daughter is also here,” Elder Julius said and I sho
Jo’s POVI heard Lance instruct the person in and I instantly looked in the direction with curiosity.A few minutes passed yet no one was coming inI focused back on my meal and continued to savor it.“J, what happened to your neck?” I heard Anna's voiceI subconsciously touched my wound and my face flushed that instant. It was the same mark Lance gave me, but what was I going to say to Anna and Daphne who also looked curiousI looked over at Lance for help.“It’s something special and it’s meant to be a secret,” Lance whispered to her. I watched Anna's face filled with more curiosity.“Something special and a secret?” Her eyes widened a little.I watched her drop her spoon and lean closer to me.“Are you dying soon?” She had a frown etched on her face and I burst out laughing“Why would you think of something abrupt,” I added in between laughter.I also heard Lance chuckle over his mealAnna's brows snapped together tightly and she opened her mouth again to say something, but she wa
Lance POVJ ordered the Beckers for the release of Elena’s boyfriend. I watched the Beckers march to the underground dungeon that I never knew existed in Elder Christopher's house. Not like I had come here to survey the area before though.“Don’t worry, you will get your boyfriend back,” J assured Elena who was already crying. I don’t know if it was because of her boyfriend or the fact that the Becker beat the old man up. “Are you okay?” I moved closer to J trying to see if she wasn’t hurt in any ways“I’m fine.” She smiled brightly at meJust then some footsteps were heard behind us. We looked in the direction where we saw the Beckers, along with an unfamiliar figure, he seemed to be slightly injured. No doubt, it was Elena’s boyfriend I watched J’s expression change, she clenched her fist tightly in anger and turned angrily at Elder Christopher who was still recovering from the slap he received earlier from one of the Beckers. Seeing the danger in J's eyes he instantly scampered a
Lance’s pov It’s been two weeks since the event with Elder Christopher, and J has begun to follow me to the office daily. I didn’t find anything wrong with that since she doesn’t get bored and I love to see her in front of me always. She has been learning a lot about not only the pack but the mafia clan too. I didn’t know she was a book person until I gave her permission to do whatever she liked in the office. She wasn’t reading any business books even when I had dozens of them, instead, she picked the mafia-related ones. Having her with me was breath and remembering how my days had been with her since she came into my life has been incredibly awesome. It was from one beautiful moment with her to the other. As for the elders, they had been silent ever since the last meeting we had. News also kept coming that the elders were upset because I had permitted J to deal with Elder Christopher. I pretend not to know or hear anything until someone comes to say it directly in front of me which
Author's POVJ and Wendy opposite each other shooting daggers at themselves. Lance didn't know what prompt this but he could already tell with the thickness of the air in the office that the two doesn't like each other.“Did you just call me a dummy?” Wendy asked with narrowed eyes. J didn't flinch instead she asked back, “Do you want me to say it in Indian?” Lance looked at both women before him and began to think of what to do to help the situation since they both looked like they are ready to kill each other. He let out a nervous laugh, “J, my love, why don't you continue reading your book and Wendy, maybe you should go home and freshen up. You just landed right?” Although he was trying to make the situation better, the girls weren't pleased as they looked at him with gaze that caused him to gulp in fear. He doesn't care what Wendy thinks but J, he dare not upset her. “Lance, looks like you didn't tell your human girlfriend that I am a werewolf and can easily do to her human

Wendy chuckled, throwing some part of her hair backward,“You know I will never forget you! Why would I ask for you to come here if I really did forget you!” Wendy answered. They sat down on the swing in the garden.“How is India? How have you been?” Alora asked.“Very well, India is lovely,” Wendy quickly said before going straight to the point, “I heard about Lance getting a girlfriend. What has been going on in the pack?” Wendy asked, going straight to why she asked Alora to see her.“Oh that” Alora sighed. As much as she wanted to go into a gossip mood, she didn’t want Wendy to be suspicious of anything,“We woke up one morning to hear that the Alpha brought a lady to the pack, clai

How could he not see that Wendy likes him? After all that happened back at the office?!“I still think Wendy likes you, I saw the look in her eyes when she hugged you, she saw me in the office as well yet she didn't even notice my presence. You can't tell me that's how friends behave towards each other”, I think she has deep feelings for you” I said to Lance, his eyes were looking at Daphne.“Oh J, you're just seeing things, that's not true.

Wendy was just a friend, why can’t she see that.'What a coincidence?' I thought, watching Wendy come closer to where I was standing with J beside me."What are you doing here Wendy?" I asked because I wasn't expecting her."Lance!" Wendy called excitedly, wearing a bright smile on her face. And instead of answering my question, she walked closer to me and encircled me in a hug, a very tight hug. My eyes quickly went to J whose eyes were clearly on the girl hugging me. She didn’t announce that she was upset but her silence spoke volumes. But I’m innocent as I wasn’t expecting Wendy this soon.Yes, she had said she was going to see me some other time, I didn't expect her visit to be so quick."I just wanted to see you again, dear friend. Is it so bad to visit? After all, it's been very long we saw ourselves," Sh

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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
