Lance held my shoes in his hands, I was tired of walking with them and I wanted us to walk. He didn't mind that I was walking barefoot and also continued to speak with me. Speaking with the man, I realized how mature and calm he was towards me. He is not as bad as I thought. Because of the event that happened with Dean, I had totally forgotten to speak about Catherine again. He was the one who asked, “About Catherine, should I kill her?” “No!” I almost screamed. Killing her was nothing to him but I still see Jessica in my dreams. I do not want to add someone else to that. “She knows too much to allow her to walk a free girl in Pennsylvania, J” “And whose fault is that?” I snapped. I hated that he talked like he wasn't involved when he was the mastermind of the whole thing. From the onset, I never asked him to kill anymore but he did anyway. “It isn't mine. You are just a magnet of trouble. Anywhere you are, you attract trouble so you can't blame me for always coming when you cal
“Please, I swear, I would not say a word to anybody. I would remain mute till I die. I won't say a word,” I heard Catherine's cry even before I got into the room where she was kept. When I got in, she was sitting on a chair, her hands or legs weren't tied but she was guarded by two Beckers. “Maria J, help me. Help me” she cried. I looked from her to Lance who walked over to where she sat. He took one of the seats there in the room and sat. “I want to kill you but—-”“Please, please, I beg you. Don't kill me” “Shut up, Catherine” Lance glared at her and she pressed her lips together. I could see the beads of sweat on her forehead. Her cheeks stained with tears and she gulped from time to time. “I'll ask you only two questions, your answer will determine whether I release you or not. Actually, I can't kill you because I had promised my darling that I wouldn't,” he turned to look at me. I didn't know why I was flushed but I scoffed at him before turning my face away. I hope he didn
Catherine and I came out of the building holding hands, she was shaking and couldn't stop even when she wanted to. “Hey, Hey, everything is going to be alright. Lance is a good man, he would not hurt you” “Don't let her get things into your head, I'm only so calm when it comes to her. I'll kill you even” Lance stated in a straightforward manner. How does he keep hearing things even if I speak with a low voice or If we are far away? Rolling my eyes at Lance, I pulled Catherine with me and opened the door for her to get into the car. We both sat in the back seat. I didn't care who was driving and where Lance planned to sit.“There is something you need to promise me, Cat” I held both her hands which were still trembling. “What?” Her voice cracked.“You would not tell anybody about this. I know Lance threatened you or tried to scare you. Do not worry about him, I can handle him. I'm asking you not to tell anybody”Catherine only nodded in understanding, Lance had really scared her to
Lance's POVI was in the shower when my body began to react differently. My wolf was in desperate need of my mate and that was something I knew could not happen just yet. Even after telling her that I would be leaving today, she still didn't want to leave. There is absolutely nothing here in Pennsylvania for her. Not even family. All she had was her younger sister, Anna. No friends, no one else. Under the shower, I began to rethink my decision. If I eventually left her here in Pennsylvania, she would be gone in two days' time. There were people after her and unless I eliminate them, they will keep coming until they get their revenge.An example of someone like this was Dean, the new enemy but an old one remains James who I noticed has been the one sending those men who we eliminate before they even dare to get close to her. Since James landed in the hospital, we've stopped three. Thanks to my Beckers who is now J's shadow bodyguard. He was vigilant enough to stop them before they c
LanceI continued to follow the scent of my mate. I knew she would have called Becker if she was alright but she wasn't. What have they done to her?“Alpha, have you seen her?” Justin mind linked“Fuck, no, Justin. What did they do to her? Her scent is everywhere, I can't focus enough to know exactly where she is!” I roared. I wasn't gone yet and this was happening, I am definitely taking her out of Pennsylvania. Her enemies were more than her allies. “You should calm down and concentrate. I think you're just upset” “That's supposed to heighten my senses, Justin. Getting angry is supposed to make me find her quickly. They did something to her!” Not bothering about the people's privacy, I began to barge into every door since her scent was practically everywhere. They were complaining, yelling, and shouting but I didn't care. I am here for my mate. I pushed another door, ready to go in but the door refused to open. I knocked on the door but no one responded. I knocked and knocked b
“I got her, Justin” I mindlinked Justin the moment I got into the car. I heard him sighed in relief,“Thank the moon goddess, Alpha. How is she? Is she okay?” “She was drugged. She was fucking drugged!” I slapped the steering in anger “You have to calm down. She needs you right now. Not your anger but your care” “I will talk to you later, Justin. I need to get a doctor for her. And also get this fucking bullets off my skin” I was in pains but I tried to hold it in for J. I could literally feel the place healing already and I haven't taken the bullet off yet. “We will talk when you're chance. Daphne asked about you” “Let her I'll be coming today” “Yes boss” I turned to J and saw her sitting on the chair with her eyes closed. I didn't know what else to do so I had to make her fall unconscious. Yes, I could have easily slept with her but I know she wouldn't want that. J would kill me if I make that mistake. Stepping on the accelerator, I made a call to a doctor to come and check
Maria JMy hands were wrapped around a tiny warmth, I pushed myself further into the warmth. I felt movement so I slowly opened my eyes. I was greeted by the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. Or was it because of the reflection of the sun?“Good morning,” the handsome god smiled at me and I returned it awkwardly before letting go of his neck. “Good morning, Lance” I turned away slightly mainly to check if I was still dressed. I was dressed. I sighed in relief. “How do you feel?” Lance asked with a serious expression on his face. His forehead covered with lines, he was worried. What happened? “I… I'm fine” I stuttered as I sat upright. I looked around the place. It was a lovely room, his, I presume. I began to think of what must have happened for me to be here in his room. Yesterday, I was sure he dropped me off at home and I recalled all that happened before then. Getting home, I met with the family who….“Shit!” I cussed loudly as I slapped my forehead. “What happened?” I a
LanceAfter ordering one of the Beckers to go and get Anna, Maria J's younger sister, I made my way to the hospital to pay a visit to a little someone. I have had enough of these people thinking I cannot do anything because I am holding myself back. Lucky them that this wasn't my pack, else they wouldn't live to see the next morning. Walking majestically into the hospital, I went right to the elevator as I hummed in excitement. One good thing about being a Lycan is my healing speed. I was completely healed from yesterday's shooting. This was the reason J didn't bother to ask about it. She must have believed that I wasn't the one that was shot. Her eyes this morning when she recalled all that happened, I was glad I didn't fuck her yesterday. It took all the self control I had ever summoned to resist her. Walking temptation. A Temptress indeed. The ding from the elevator brought me back to reality, I made my way out of the elevator smiling. According to my spy, who was of course, o
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
