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
J's POVI sat on the bed, strolled around the room, and picked up some of the things around the room to glance at them. Everything was beautiful but one thing I hated was sitting idle. I began searching for what to do here. Maybe I should find a clubStaring at the window, my eyes caught Lance and the old man. The man was giving me the vibes that made me sure that he hated it. I'm still going to ask Lance who he is. A girl wearing a blue gown ran to them, she hugged the old man first before hugging Lance. Who was she? I watched how they discussed, I couldn't hear what they were saying, neither could I read their lips. I watched till I saw Lance turn to look at the window, I docked. Did he know that I have been watching?Lance finally left the meeting and walked away. My heart began to beat faster than usual. I made my way to the bed and sat in it. In less than three minutes, the door opened, “Hello, ma'am,” “Hi” I smiled at the lady who had stepped into the room“Dinner is ready,”
J’s POVTwo weeks in the Dark Red pack according to Anna, I still haven't understood anything that's going on here. I knew I was in New Jersey but Dark Red pack… was it like some cult? Along with the Beckers, I realized that there were so many people who weren't Beckers, they were soldiers guarding the place. I remember waking up one morning to explore the building only to find a place on the second floor. When I got there at first, I was dumbfounded at how long the passage was, in it were so many soldiers guiding the place. Sometimes, I am with Lance and they refer to him as Alpha. This has happened time and time again in my presence. People come around to seek his help and as he had said when I first met him, he is a busy man. How was he able to always be with me back in Pennsylvania? Anna and Daphne have resumed school so many times, I'm home alone thinking of what to do and what not. These past few days, I only see Lance during dinner which I am not so pleased with. Is he avoidi
Lance's POVGrabbing her by the waist and pulling her so close to me was a mistake. This is something I should run away from if I am trying to tame my wolf. We've not been close to each other for a while and that was because I was trying to avoid her till I would be courageous enough to tell her who I really am. I had bragged by saying I loved her, I'd care for her, and many other things but to tell her that I was a werewolf? That's the scariest thing to do. Because until now, I have been scared of her reaction to the new revelation. She had called me scary, she had called me scary when she saw the picture of my wolf. J has never seen a werewolf before, she'll freak out if she finds out that I am one. She is still trying to adjust to the news of being a mafia Lord. “What? Why do I see fear in your eyes?” She teased as she pointed at my eyes. “Don't try it, J. Do not dare think of going to get a job at the club or even think of going to a male stripper's club”Her smirk only grew w
Lance's POV“The boldness of her to speak that way to my Alpha,” Justin said looking towards the direction J had disappeared into. “She's your Luna,” I reminded him, in case he had forgotten. He slowly turned his head back to me, “That I noticed,” there was a pause, we were both deep in our own thoughts when he finally said, “You cannot hide who you are from her. She's your mate because of your wolf, I cannot even imagine how he would be feeling for always hiding him from someone the goddess chose for him.” I sighed, there were so many times my wolf didn't speak to me for a long time because of this. The time I had wanted to mark her and back away was one of those times. “You can hide being the mafia don, which is also difficult but this. This is you. I still don't know what the goddess was thinking to select a human who knows absolutely nothing about the werewolf to you, an Alpha” I had also asked the goddess that question the first day it hit me back at the club but I realized
J's POVPacing around the room, I just didn't know what to do. I felt choked up, the anger within me caused tears to swell up in my eyes but I refused to let those tears run down. I can't believe I allowed myself to be fooled by him. What did he really want? How dare he bring me here only to abandon me, treat me like someone without worth? I shouldn't have allowed this. The day I found out in the hospital that I was in New Jersey, I should have left immediately. I should have taken Anna and walked away without even seeking an explanation from him. Men… Men can be totally wicked and complete liars. A professional liar is what Lance is. After all the promises he made, he can no longer kiss me without feeling guilty. After sniffing, I realized that the tears I didn't want to roll down my cheeks as already done so. “Damn!” I cussed loudly, throwing the pillows off the bed to the ground. I have told myself I won't cry for no man after what Dean did to me. I am the one who breaks their
J’s POVWho says power is evil? Power is life. Power is powerful! Tara had gone to quickly add it to the schedule in a book. It was so funny that she had gotten a book specially for me. I wonder if that was how all Lance's guests have a big book for schedules or if it was just me. After adding it, she went out with me to the soldiers before showing the schedule to the soldiers who looked at me suspiciously for about a few seconds before finally letting me pass. A man came to me and bowed to me before escorting me. I didn't know why he was doing so until a black Mercedes parked in front of us. He moved from my side to go get the back door and bowed to me. I looked from him to the door and blinked in surprise. Wow! I was given special treatment. If this was how it happens every day, then I wish to go out every day. “Thank you,” I smiled at him before stepping into the car, he shut the door and walked over to sit in the front passenger's seat.“Where to, ma'am?” “The male stripper's
Lance's POV“Thank you, Mr. Thomas, we'll continue some other time,” I shook hands with the man I was supposed to have a very important meeting with but had to cancel. He still looked confused, and although he stretched his hands towards me to return the handshake, I still saw the confusion on his face. He said, “Alpha Lance, we can still talk about this, I didn't back out. Did someone tell you something about me?”Letting out a chuckle, I shook my head, “Oh no, Mr. Thomas, You're a great man. It would be an injustice to rip you off of what's yours just because I heard something that's not business-related about you. I'm strictly in for business,” I reminded him and saw him nod his head. “Then, why are you ending a meeting that hasn't even started?” He asked and I could understand his fears. We were supposed to have this meeting in a restaurant but I changed plans last minute and asked him to come over to my office instead. He came only for me to postpone the meeting. Definitely,
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
