Sitting in an iron chair, my legs on both sides of the chair, I puffed out the smoke from my mouth. The two men before me were on their knees, their eyes tied with a cloth and their hands also tied. Blood streaming down their faces but I didn't care. “Take off the blindfold,” I ordered and two of my Beckers took the clothes off their faces. I noticed there wasn't a need for their eyes to be covered, their eyes were so swollen, I should give my Beckers thumbs up for making them really good-looking.“Do you know me?” I asked them but they didn't respond. Instead, their eyes were fixed on the ground. They were looking at me. I shook my head, a small smirk appearing on my face. If they know how upset I am…“Trust me, you wouldn't want to slow your death. We can quickly just do the question and answer and let this matter go. Either way, you will die but there is a way to make the work a little slow and that's why you keeping silent” They still kept shut,“Who sent you?” I asked again
“Boss” “You idiot!” I threw a punch at the man that had caused J to remain lifeless in that bed. The Becker that I had assigned to watch over her. I don't know why all of them kept doing a bad job or it was just J who was really just annoying and a magnet to trouble“Boss, I didn't know that she left the penthouse. No one saw her leave” he tried to explain and I know that yet I threw another punch at him. I continued to punch him until he fell on the ground, spitting out blood. “Take J and make sure she gets to the pack doctor. Tell him all that the doctor said. I'll be there soon” I announced after I was satisfied with how long I had punched him. I worked on my suit before stepping out of the garage. The doctor and I had an argument concerning her transfer but I know J isn't safe there. I'll take her to where I know I am in control and that's my pack. I had also warned the doctor letting him know that if it happens that I find out that the nurse works at this hospital then he co
J's POVI sat there in the bed staring at the rest of them in the room. While some were whispering amongst themselves, Anna was staring at me with a wide smile on her face, her chin rested on both her palms, “What?” I asked her, a bit pissed. Why was she staring at me like I was once dead and now back to life? “Nothing, I'm just happy you are awake, Lance would be so happy about it” “And where the fuck is Lance?” I directed my question to the men who kept murmuring as they spoke. For a few minutes there, I saw how they suddenly looked at me with fear. “He… he is on his way. I have called him and told him you are awake. Like we said earlier, he went for some business”“That's like three hours ago. Can he come here already?” The minute those words left my lips, Lance stepped into the room. Everyone rushed to meet him including Anna who hugged him.Even though he hugged Anna and the men were speaking to him, his gaze and attention were on me. I tried to keep my gaze at him as well bu
J's POVI gulped down nothing in particular, my eyes twitched watching Lance staring at me not taking his gaze away. What do I tell him to make him leave me alone? He wasn't going to let it slide, he must be upset that he couldn't take care of me like he promised to. “Lance…” My hand moved to his jaw and I caressed his well-shaved jaw. I noticed how the frown on his face slowly disappeared.“I'm sorry I made you worried. I didn't mean to… how have you been? Hope you've slept since then?” Moving my face towards him, I gave him a peck on the cheek before adding,“I promise it won't happen again” “It won't, J” he replied, “It won't now tell me where you had gone so early that morning,” I bit my tongue, and my plan didn't work like I expected. Rolling my eyes I went to sit on the bed, folding my arms under my breast,“If you don't tell me where you go, I'll kill him” his words caused me to turn my head from before me to look at him.I raised a brow at him,“Who's that?” I asked in fea
Lance's POVIn the car, I kept staring at J from time to time through the rearview mirror. She thinks I'm mad at her but I wasn't. In fact, I was happy she told me. Jonathan might not be dead now, but I had killed him completely in my head. That bastard wants to blow my cover before I do. Finally, she was discharged and was allowed to go home after Dr Jude ran some tests and confirmed that she was good to go. As for me, I was more relieved that she could walk again with her legs. I knew only Dr Jude could help us with that. For the umpteenth time today, I caught her staring at me again but she threw her gaze away immediately as if caught. I acted like I saw nothing. All these while, Anna was staring at her, she also noticed how her sister was stealing glances. The car was quiet, I refused to play any music or raise a conversation. I wanted guilt to eat her all up so she wouldn't do what she did ever again.For a moment there I began to regret why the moon goddess would give me a hu
J's POVI sat there like an obedient child as Dr. Jude checked up on me for the upteeth time today. Lance stood beside him with a serious expression on his face. His eyes fixed on what Dr. Jude was doing,“She's completely well, Alpha” the doctor said and I looked behind Lance to see if there was someone named Alpha around. Lance nodded before helping me sit up,“Although she still needs to monitor how she moves, she is not expected to walk too much. Her legs still need to rest. It's amazing how only one bone was able to revive the rest of the bones,” Dr Jude said with a smile that got me thinking. My eyes moved from Lance who was helping me up to Dr. Jude who was smiling wide, “What happened to my legs?” I asked and I literally saw the man gulp. I turned my head to the side to see Lance quickly moved his gaze to me, he offered me a smile but I knew better. His gaze must have scared the poor doctor. I turned back to the doctor to get my answer only to meet an empty spot. The man
“I thought I had made it clear to you before, baby?” He stroked my blonde, making me tilt my head to rest on his hand. “How's that possible when mafia don't have hearts?” I asked in a whispered back and he said to me,“You shouldn't trust everything you see on TV, some of us have a heart,” he whispered. My eyes continued to stare at his curiosity burning in my heart. His scent intensified and I gulped. We were both staring at each other until his lips hovered in front of mine. My lips unintentionally pried out of my mouth and wet my lips, my toes curled, eyes closed then I heard him say,“I'm going to kiss you, J.” His hot breath fanned my face causing my fingers to clenched around his body, holding onto his shirt tightly.“Are you seeking permission?” I opened my eyes to ask because that didn’t sound like a question but it was supposed to be. “No, it's for you to be prepared for me,” he whispered against my lips and a smile appeared on my lips. “I was ready a few minutes ago, I
Lance's POV“I didn't know you had started bringing your flings to the pack house” Elder Julius mentioned when he noticed that J was out of sight. “There are a lot of things you don't know that I do,” I replied. Somewhere in the back of my head, I was pissed at him for coming to distract us from our moment. None of the guards even came to inform me of his coming. And calling J a fling was a great No. I wouldn't talk about it now because I am more than eager to get him out of my sight. “This is something that concerns us as pack members. If you have seen a Luna, we deserve to know,” I didn't bother looking at his face because I knew better. Elder Julius is one of the old folks that I would have deleted from the pack if I had the chance.“I thought you just referred to her as a fling. Why would I gather my great pack elders only to tell them that I have a fling?” I asked him with a concerned look. He cleared his throat before nodding, “That's alright. I thought she was more than t
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
