Lance POVI had left the house very early in the morning after receiving a call from Justin.I felt bad about leaving without informing J, but I didn’t want to disturb her beauty sleep.I got into the car with Justin, we sat in the backseat while one of the Beckers was in the first seat beside the driver’s seat.“Drive!” I instructed the driver who sped off instantly.Justin had informed me that he had found the hideout of my parent’s killer.“I heard they lived at the house for years.” He gave me more informationMy eyes scanned through the picture of the old house and my anger increased even more.“Move more faster!” I instructed the driver in anger.I couldn’t wait to arrive at the house and leave them in cold blood. I don’t care how old they might have grown, I was still going to shred them into pieces “They were couples, I learned they lived in Pennsylvania before coming here to become werewolf hunters.” Justin gave me more information but I ignored that, my thoughts were all on
Author’s POV.J was in the car with Anna, she was holding her close to her body in a bit to protect her in case Lance or any of his guards shot out of nowhere and she had also vowed to protect them both. Anna was already wiggling, she knew the danger ahead and she was not ready to die, though she knew that J was not giving her up, but was still scared for the both of them.A mall came into view as Zack drove on, and, "This is our only means of escape." J thought."Stop at the mall," She told Zack."What?" He didn't seem to hear her."Stop at the mall, I need us to go and get some girls' stuff." J declared.Zack stared at her through the rearview mirror as she was sitting in the backseat with Anna, he could tell that she was not her usual self, he opened his mouth to talk, but he said nothing, and he relented. "Okay, Luna."He drove the car into the mall and packed the car in the mall's packing space. He got out of the car to open the door for the ladies, but they were out before him.
Lance’s POV.I got home to see Daphne in tears. I rushed over to her and held her in my arms, "What happened to you? Who the hell made you cry?!" I was combust. After the death of our parents, she had been the only one who could lead out the beast in me and anyone who hurt her must be ready to go through me as I was not ready to lose her too, I will give everything in the world to keep her happy."L....Lance." She called softly. I froze. Did she just talk? I mean Daphne talked, right? I thought, battling within me as my eyes were on her."Daphne, you spoke." I made my surprise obvious, "Oh my! You spoke!" I was almost jubilant, but with the situation on the ground, I didn't, though I was really happy.She ignored all my happiness, "Lance, where is Anna?" She questioned me. She spoke for the first time since we lost our parents, and all she could ask was to know where Anna was. How sweet. I thought ironically and almost rowed my eyes."Lance, where is Anna? I want to see her now, I wa
Lance's POVI paced about the hallway, awaiting Zack's return. It had been hours since I ordered him to go to the mall, and still, there was no sign of him or any phone call with news. I couldn't help but wonder if something bad had happened to J and Anna before I could get to them, or if he had actually been able to locate them.What was I thinking, pinning those pictures in my study room, knowing she frequents the area like water? But it wasn't my fault; if I had known in time, I would have removed it and hidden it far from her reach.And besides, why would she think I would hurt her for her parents' deeds? That little brain of hers didn't tell her she's untouchable, even if I'm concerned?I palmed my face and breathed in, my fingers raking through my hair, disheveling it further.Just then, the door burst open, and Zack walked in with a sullen face, his eyes sunken deep in their sockets, and his forehead wrinkled in tiny lines. His expression was sad, and I couldn't see a hint of
J's POVWe both stood looking down at our parents' grave, unbelievably. Discovering our parents were werewolf hunters during their lifetime, and that it had been their top-secret job, was amazing.Then, finding out I'm mated to the son of the couple they murdered is unbelievable.I bent low on my knees and caressed my mother's tomb, dusting the sand from the top to properly read her name. This news is shocking to us, and to be sincere, I haven't recovered from what I felt when I saw the pictures nailed with a knife on the wall in Lance's study room. I stood rooted to the spot for seconds, trying to process the results of this heinous act caused by my dead parents. The only words my mind registered at that moment were 'RUN.'Even though I knew Lance wouldn't harm us, I wouldn't want to take chances staying back, trying to explain things to him, to make him see reasons and insight into all these, something I knew would literally fall on deaf ears. I didn't want to buy into the idea of
Lance's POVWhen the news reached me that Daphne had refused to eat for hours since Maria, J, and Anna's disappearance, my world came crashing down. I ordered the maids to coerce her into eating, but she refused, making signs that if Anna didn't come back to her, she would never eat again.Besides Daphne's weak threats, I miss J terribly and long to be in her arms, cuddling and comforting each other. But I'm powerless since I can't scent her.My mind whirled with different thoughts: What if she's not in Pennsylvania? What if I get there and can't find her? What if she refuses to follow me back because she feels I would punish her for her parents' deeds? What if... "What if she's in trouble?" Justin chimed in quietly. His face was calm, and his voice was in contrast to my turmoil.I frowned deeply, my forehead lines visible. "Were you intruding on my privacy?" I growled at him.A smile curved out on his lips, and he mechanically raised his hands in defeat. "I wasn't intruding..." He
Lance POVJ struggled with me as soon as I carried her, she wanted me to drop her so she could check if I really pardoned the boy. I chuckled, my hands wrapped around her waist possessively while I kissed her forehead, then moved to her face. Still, she fought and struggled with me to put her down."Put me down now. I have legs, I can walk." She hissed, wriggling her legs around like a snake."I want to carry you, sweetheart. You've been walking on these legs; let's pity them." I grinned, tightening my hold around her.J is a strong being, and that's one of the things I admire about her. No matter how strong you are, she'll find a way to at least try to free herself. I was really impressed by the kind of fight she put up with her ex-bf."Lance, I'm warning you for the last time. If you don't put me down and let me walk myself, I'm going to bite you." She nodded, as if in support of what she said.I laughed quietly; she even went as far as threatening me. At my signal, a Becker carried
J's POV"Leave the young ones to themselves, we both have issues to resolve upstairs." His lips curled into his usual sweetest smile, which always put my mind at ease, but now I'm not even sure if I should be assured by it.For all I care, he might mean the opposite while still portraying an innocent face."In our room." He smirked deeply. Well, now I'm confused. Just a few minutes ago, his words seemed hard and dangerous to me, but now his words and tone are light and inviting. Oh, save me Lord! My heart is beating recklessly, and I'm certain Lance could hear it.His hold on my wrist is firm, and the way he pulls me, with his rigid posture, says it all; I dare not argue or fight him. I'm powerless and helpless at this stage. "Lance!" I muffled, pinning my feet to the ground and drawing back, but he glared hard at me, killing the remaining resistance in me. All the courage and boldness I had mustered grew wings and flew out of my being, leaving me to concede to my fate - the fate m
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
