Lance“Alpha, you have to stop all these?” I heard Allen continue to complain here and there about how it wasn't the right way to handle certain things“So are you going to send me to jail, Officer Allen?” I asked with raised brows. I was actually expecting J’s call and not his. I wonder why he had called when he could have just dealt with the situation without calling me. “I'm still trying to clean your name, Alpha Lance” “No, Allen. I did a perfectly clean job. You're the only one who knows that I am behind it. So what are you clearing? Do you have proof? Evidence?” I asked. He doesn't, my Becker wouldn't leave even a fingerprint so where the hell did he want to get proof? The only proof he has is knowing that I am in town and that of itself is not proof until I say something that would add to that proof. “Those were kids, Alpha Lance” he sighed and I could hear it over the phone. “Okay… Kids that kidnapped my mate and wanted to rape her. Since when did Kids start behaving so
Maria J In anger, I had ended Lance's call. I didn't bother to go home to get changed or take a bath since I was already late for work. I went straight to the club thinking of how to start avoiding Lance. This was getting worse because how could he beat someone so badly without mercy and also chop off his fingers? James was unrecognizable, he looked like someone who was beaten by a whole army. Again, I ask myself where this set of men learned their skills from. Stepping down from the car, I paid the taxi driver and went inside the club through the back door. I stepped into the dressing room to see the other ladies arrange themselves quickly, causing me to raise my brows at them. What was it they were doing before I stepped in? I wasn't in the mood to respond to them so I ignored them and went to my locker. A frown formed on my face when I noticed that my locker had been tampered with. The lock was broken. Slowly I opened it and couldn't find my costume inside. “Hmm” Now I see w
“Bitch, sorry to burst your bubbles but I was with him all through last night!”This got everyone staring at me like I had said something really strange. I would rather they think I was sleeping with Lance than Hailey and I don't know why. I was too angry to even question my decision. “Boss Austin, it's either she leaves or I do. Make your choice now” I said before I marched away from them and went back into the club, one thing is for sure, they had ruined my mood. I was going back home. “Red! Red!” I heard Boss Austin called but I snubbed him. When I got into the room, I went to take my bag ready to leave when the ladies along with Boss Austin came in to stop me. “I have to leave, Boss. You got a replacement for me, didn't you?” “Red, you know no one can replace you. I didn't even know she was doing that” I glared at Boss Austin as I yelled at him, pointing my finger at him,“But she clearly said you saw her wear my clothes yesterday. And who the fuck did she use my name to sle
Lance's finger gestured for me to come to him. He was sitting at his usual spot close to the end of the club. I think he chose that spot so he could leave whenever he wanted without much attention. There was always attention though. I narrowed my eyes on him, I just came up on stage and he wanted me to come to him, I won't do that. I needed to entertain everyone first.Twisting my waist seductively, my eyes were fixed on him but I didn't dare to close. The crowd continued to scream as I danced. I raised one of my legs stretching it up for my hand to touch while it was still in the air. Turning around after dropping my legs, I began to twerk, the crowd threw money at me. Going down on my knees, I moved in steady motion as if I was fucking a lady on the ground. This caused the crowd to scream, turning the entire club upside down. I was about to get up from my position when someone pulled me by my panties, “My boss promised to pay triple to have you on his bed. How much? State your p
“I don't know but I knew I had to tell her something since she wasn't really with you all night” I smiled at him and he cocked his head,“Really? What does that get to do with you whether she was with me or not” I froze, my hands around his neck stiffened and my movement on his body paused. He wanted me to stay words I didn't want to from my lips. I knew he wasn't with her last night because he was with me. “Lance, I know she wasn't with you” “Yeah, she wasn't” he confirmed before saying, “But what if she was? What does it have to do with you?” I stared into Lance's eyes for a while before standing to my feet. His dark eyes continued to stare at me but he didn't say a word. “I'd be taking these,” I said to him, taking all the bundles of cash from the table. He didn't bother to stop me, instead, he spanked my butt with his palm. I stiffened as he did that. Not wanting anything distracting me, he did it again and again causing my panties to get wet with every hit of his. Not want
I was dropped down in front of Lance, I ignored him and turned to the Becker,“Don't ever in your fucking life do that with me again. Do I make myself clear? How dare you?” I yelled and the man bowed in respect. I rolled my eyes at him before turning to Lance, who caused my breath to hitch when I met his eyes. He wasn't looking so good, he looked upset. No, not upset, he was angry, filled with rage. His eyes were dark, his lips set in a straight line, he had a cigarette in between his lips, his hand inside his pocket. “Lance…” I called when I noticed he wasn't going to say anything. He was just going to stare and it's been more than five minutes of staring. “Mmm Red?” He answered“I want to go back inside” “Why?” He asked back. As he questioned, he began to move closer to me while I forced myself to take steps back. “Mr Lance….”“It's Lance” he corrected and I nodded. “So you want your cousin to die?” He asked me with raised brows. I was going to respond to him when we heard a
I nodded at him as he spoke, he was right but looking at his shirt, I didn't know what to do. If I had just listened the first time and entered the car, maybe all these wouldn't have happened. And to think that that bullet was coming for me. Lance saved me again. I am tired of counting. I burst into tears,“I'm sorry, I'm so sorry,” I tried to reach for his shirt and try to do something even though deep down I knew there was nothing I could do, “I should have listened to you and just entered the car when you asked me to. I didn't know it was serious. I didn't know he had a gun with him.” “Shush, shush, Hey hey” he held my hands, stopping me from touching the spot where he was shot. He dropped my hands down and reached for my cheek then he held it gently, “You are my priority, I must protect you. If I don't, then I've failed. I am relieved knowing that I was the one hit and not you. I don't know what I would have done” This only caused me to cry some more, why would he protect me?
Lance's POV “Arghhhh!” I roared so loudly as I inserted my claws into my already closed skin to tear it back open again. Because I had spent too much time, the bullet wound had closed up leaving me with a fresh smooth skin, only I know would cause complications if I don't take the bullet out. I didn't have to drive a long distance before I parked the car to get the bullet out yet the wound was already closed up. “Arghhhh!” I groaned as I searched for the bullet inside my shoulder with my left fingers. I felt the small mental and finally pulled it out, causing a gush of blood to follow. A sigh escaped my lips before throwing the bullet out of the window. It's a good thing it wasn't a bullet with wolfsbane, it would have spread greatly by now. Reversing the car, I drove back to her house to check up on her. My mate was fond of causing trouble. There is absolutely a day filled with peace when it comes to her. It was trouble from home to work at the restaurant and then to the club.
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
