Chapter 9 - Homecoming
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It was too late to run. I looked at the approaching monsters as the first one stopped right in from of me. The doors opened, and I was engulfed in Rick's familiar scent.
"Alice! Thank God you are safe." Rick said from above my head, I was pressed to his chest in a relieving hug. I was quickly huddled into the SUV, sitting alongside Rick."Now, tell me what happened?" Rick asked, softly.I did not even know where to start. I told him everything, how I was drugged and kidnapped by the rogues and being rescued by Lucian Blake.Rick's face hardened. He was furious, I could tell. Rick, my only brother, was eight years older than me. When my father died in that inter-were fight, he was just 17. He used to be away for several training, high school, and other things while I was growing up. I spent most of my time with Emma and Bobby, who were near to my age.After taking over the pack, he had worked relentlessly. Due to our age gap and my being sent away, we did not get the o

Emma stared at me with a blank expression. "Wow!"She suddenly stood up and started pacing, then sat down again."Wow! This is so....so...""Fucked up?" I asked helpfully."No, romantic. This is so romantic." She said with a bemused expression."What? " I was sure she was going crazy."Well, you both are from enemy camps, who fall in love. Now you need to overcome the differences to be together. It's like Romeo and Juliet!" Emma said with a goofy smile."You and Lucian are like Romeo and Juliet of werewolves, it's all so Shakespearean." She said wistfully."Are you suggesting we both die in the end?" I asked.Emma was always kind of goofy, but this was madness even by her standards. I could barely hold my laugh."Of course not! What I mean is, this is fated. The goddess has matched you. It must mean something." I rolled my eyes," well, what do I do now? I have a fiancée in London, who is sweet, caring, and smart. Likewise, I had everything planned, but suddenly, I bumped into my craz
His reluctant Luna Chapter 11 - Losing control
Alice's (POV) - Rick stared at me with an unreadable expression while I was being torn by several emotions. A mating bond is the most sacred bond for wolves. Once wolves find their mates. The male marks the female, it is followed by wild sex. After which the female marks the male.It can even happen together during the consummation. Once the mating is done, the bond is complete. They are bound for life. They share their life, feelings, mind everything. Finding your true mate is a gift or a trap, depending on how you take it. No one is allowed to interfere in the mate bond. It is against the law. The male can claim the female, even if she is from his dreaded enemy's camp."Well? Now can I claim my mate?" Lucian said impatiently.Rick held up his hand to stop him."You are in my territory. I will decide what happens, even if she is your mate, you cannot take her away without my approval."Lucian's green eyes flashed with anger. M

Alice's (POV) - I was sitting opposite the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. His green eyes stared intently at me. He had folded back his black shirt up to his elbows and I could not stop admiring his hands which were covered with taut muscles."Well, if you are done admiring me, can we proceed with 'the talk'?" He smirked, making a quotation symbol with his hand.I blushed. I do not think I have ever blushed in my life. We were seated in Rick's library/study. I had managed to convince Lucian to discuss our little 'arrangement'. Rick's study was soundproof, which would prevent our conversation from leaking out.Rick was quite apprehensive to leave me alone with Lucian. But he would never hurt me, I knew. Mates did not hurt each other."I wasn't admiring you!" I glared at him.His lips twitched, and he leaned closer and said softly," I can smell your arousal. Do not deny it."I blushed a shade deeper and cleared my throat."Let's sti

Alice "I have one more condition," I said, finally feeling a tiny bit bolder.He sighed again. "What is that?"I sucked in a breath, "I want to spend Christmas and New year with my family. I have been doing so every year. Therefore, I am here."I should have stayed in London, I thought."Hmm, is it important for you?""Yes, very significant," I said eagerly."As a Luna, your presence will be needed at the celebrations back in my place."My face fell."But I will make sure that you spend time with your family as well.""Thank you," I started breathing again.He bent down again and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, "you don't need to thank me, I just want you to be happy. I want to take care of all your needs"'As if I can't take care of mine,' I thought.Then, to my utter surprise, he kissed me on my cheek. It was not sensual, just a chaste kiss one would give to a friend or someone close. But it was en

Alice "Wow!"My anger, resentment, and escape plans were on the back burner. I was busy staring at the tall, lush green trees. There were miles and miles of trees, much more than Jade moon territory."You like it?" Lucian asked, his green eyes reflecting the greenery below."You have a river!" I exclaimed excitedly as I looked down at the Blue Ribbon of water snaking through the deep green. It was beautiful.Then I spotted the buildings. At first, they just appeared like a mass of grey and whites. There was a huge central courtyard, garden, whatever you might call it. The size of a football field. It was surrounded by buildings, several of them. The helicopter landed in this lush grassy courtyard.Avoiding the loud noise and the wind lashing around us, Lucian helped me climb out of the helicopter. The ride had been short, about 45 minutes. I guessed his minions would be arriving by road. The copter flew off. I bet Lucian had a

Savannah bowed to me and said," Pleased to meet you, Madam Luna."I greeted both Katherine and Savannah, they seemed nice. I could hear voices from the inside, but I did not see anyone. I climbed the staircase, following Savannah, who guided me to an ornate set of double doors on the third floor. A large man stood beside the doors, looking imposing. He had short black hair, cut military style; he cocked his eye at me before politely bowing his head. Savannah nodded to the man as he opened the door. I did not have time to say anything because I was soon ushered inside...The room was warm and inviting, with a cosy fireplace in the sitting area. There were several comfortable looking chairs near the fire. A large flat-screen TV sat in front of a full-sized leather couch. Numerous paintings and antiques decorated the area tastefully."These are Alpha Blake's private quarters. The bedroom and bathroom are through there. I will have food and clothing sent up for you. There

I could barely believe I was almost cordial with him, a few hours ago, thanks to the thrilling helicopter ride, and then him carrying me so romantically. I tried to bury such thoughts away. I mean what was I thinking? We would be living together, naturally, he would expect.... Certain things. I was so obsessed with avoiding getting marked, I forgot about this.Us being intimate.My wolf was excited, being the pervert she was. I hated that a part of me was also turned on by the prospect. I was dripping wet already. Last time when he had.... well....done things. The throbbing arousal that he had evoked despite my reluctance...... I bit my lip, trying not to linger on the thought."You know you look very sexy when you do that."He said silkily, his eyes glued to my lips. Seriously, what is this obsession with lip biting? I never got it."Aren't you being a bit dramatic? Can we just call For a truce and forget it?" I tried to reason with him as I felt his hand slowly snaking

Alice (POV) - I don't know what got into me. I stripped off my tee, followed by my sweatpants. Fumbling with the clasp of my bra. I released my breasts. His eyes widened; I have a slim body, but I am top-heavy. It is surprising for others when they find unexpected curves under my dress. My nipples tightened to attention in the chilled air of the room. My panties followed. I could sense his breathing getting heavy. I could not help smiling slightly. I stood silent and straight before him, nervous, the flush of my sudden nudity tinting my skin.Lucian finally moved from his position, but he did not approach me. Instead, he walked towards a dresser and picked up something.A whip? Some degrading sex toys?I had no idea what kind of sick person he was, but if he hurt me, I was not staying, no matter what. He returned carrying God knows what. His eyes fell on me again. I blushed under that heated gaze."My God! How lovely you are," he said a

Six years later - Alice ********************** Emma and I were sitting outside in the garden watching our little ones tussle. We often visited each other. "How you keep up with the three of them, I'll never know. I'm having a hard enough time with Arya." She said. "It's difficult sometimes, but it's also fun," I said looking at my 6-year-old Aiden and 2 -year-old twins. Rose and Leo. It was a pleasant surprise when I discovered I was carrying twins, few years after we had Aiden. The kids looked up at us and yelped, they were cute little pups. Both Aiden and Rose had inherited Lucian's green eyes and dark hair. Leo was more like me with his hazel eyes and brown hair. Arya had caught Aiden by the ear while Rose and Leo tussled in the mud. "Aiden, sweetie, Mama's not going to come to your rescue every time the girls pick on you." I laughed. "I can't believe he lets her get away with that. He outweighs her by quite a bit." Emma said. "He is a little gentleman, he just plays along"
His reluctant Luna Chapter 44 - Good end of things
AliceAs I walked towards the circle to join the pack, our guests, and friends. I couldn't help admiring the decor, the fairy lights and the most tempting smell of roasted meat. Katherine had outdone herself. The entire circle had been decorated with twinkle lights and colourful roses. There was soft music being played by a live band. It sounded old and enchanting. The guests were all smiling and joking. Lucian joined me soon, and I found myself in his arms. He smiled at me intensely, then kissed me. His tongue ran over my lips and I opened her mouth to let him taste her. My hands danced his shirt buttons, I wished I were back in our room."I wish the same, dear," he said, giving a sly smile."Maybe later," I winked at him."Mate!" A shout broke the magic, and we looked at the commotion.Eliza was clinging to Max, who looked dazed."I found my mate, hi, I am Eliza and I like you." She flushed while talking to Max."You like me? But you are so beautiful, you are way out of my league."

AliceI knew about Doppler monitors, which are used to hear the fetal heartbeat. The idea both thrilled and terrified me."Just lie back," Dr Armand said, lifting my gown to reveal my bare belly. He squirted some liquid on my skin. "Just a bit of gel. It'll help pick up the sound."A crackling sound like an old transistor radio broke out in the room. Lucian looked at me, bewildered."We'll hear the baby's heartbeat?" I asked.The doctor nodded, moving the instrument over my stomach."The heart forms and starts beating from a very early stage."More static came from the small speaker the doctor held in his hand. A rapid, watery sound rang out, like waves at the beach on fast-forward.Whoosh whoosh whoosh.A smile spread across Dr Armand's face. "There's your baby."I held my breath. Whoosh whoosh whoosh.Lucian's face was like a mask. I had never seen him so shocked and happy, both at the same time. The miracle of the moment began to sink in. We had created a life. The baby we had creat

Alice *************'Alice, I love you, babe. Now listen carefully. When I say run, just run !' Lucian spoke in my mind.'But Max...''We'll save him too, don't worry. They don't know we are here as the wind is in another direction, but they will soon know. So just do as I say, babe, please.''I will dear.' I replied.Jordan gave me a suspicious look, I ignored him and kept my head down. I wasn't certain if I could shift, pregnant wolves can't. But my wolf assured me that she could take over anytime.'Run' Lucian said in my mind. My wolf took over. Breaking the restraints, I ran into the forest. The sound of gunshots rang through the forest. I looked up to see Lucian's choppers hovering over the trees. They were shooting at Stuart and his men. I stopped running, Max could get caught in the crossfire. I returned towards the group I had just escaped.**********************Lucian -I felt Alice's pain run through me, the rest of the pack felt the same. I immediately turned and started

Olivia -I woke up screaming from the nightmare I just had."Olivia! Are you alright?" Zaiden was holding my shaking body."I saw her...... I saw Madam Luna, she was in a cave, not a lab. Take me to the Alpha, please." I pleaded. The vision was so vivid. It was almost like I was there."Sure, get dressed." He threw me a pair of a tracksuit.It was late night or early morning. Whatever one might refer to 3 am when we reached the Alpha's office. The hustle and bustle of betas and the trackers ascertained the fact that nobody had slept for hours. Alpha was trying everything possible to trace Alice. The row of SUVs in the driveway ensured that they were either going or returning from a raid."I must talk to the Alpha now! " I pleaded to the guard standing at the door."Alpha is busy in a meeting, you can't see him now." He replied gruffly."I must see him, I had a vision. I saw Madam Luna."Before the guard could react. The door burst open."You had a vision of Alice? What did you see?" A

I tried to keep my eyes open, as Stuart droned on and on about his scientific advancements. I had lost track of what he had been rambling long back, but just nodded and smiled at certain intervals to look interested.'Come on, Lucian,' I said into the void."So, these human women failed to get pregnant, it's not because my experiment failed. They were just weak. Weak and useless. Even my army of men was not the breakthrough I had been hoping for. So, I started seeking alternatives. The best approach was to go natural. Create my hybrid children. " He crossed his legs and folded his hands, placing his chin on his knuckles."So, that's why you attacked the mated Alpha females?""Yeah, lost quite a few of my men. I don't care about them, though. They were lab rats.....totally disposable." He shrugged."And I am your next big experiment?" I was feeling squeamish."You are special, Alice." I winced, my name rolling off his tongue made me sick."I am sorry, I need to use the bathroom." I su

Lucian 'This is crazy! I should have never listened to her.' I chided myself, but it was of no use. She was gone. "Alpha, we lost the chopper," Damon said somberly. I could feel my nails digging into my palms, I was gripping my hands so tightly. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "Do whatever you can. Follow all the clues and find her." I managed to mutter. "Alpha, we have a request." I raised my head to find Kyle and the guards bowing their heads in submission. My wolf growled. He wanted to rip their heads off, for failing to protect my mate. "What is it?" I asked impatiently. "We....we....don't deserve to live. Please forfeit our lives." Kyle fumbled.I wanted to do that, but these were some of the best betas and warriors. Killing them now would achieve nothing."I don't have time for dramatics. Get out!""Alpha..." They whimpered."GET OUT! " I yelled, that sent them running out of my office.My wolf went into a rage and destroyed the table in seconds. I then went

Olivia I was heading for the trees before I realized what was happening. 'No, turn back,' I thought to myself, and then realized I wasn't in charge. The wolf was in charge.My wolf was showing herself. I could feel her stretching out as I ran. Trees sped by me in a blur, and I sucked in a lung-full of fresh air. I felt powerful.The rational human part of me still panicked and tried to get through to the wolf. I ran for miles, trying to check out my territory.I looked down at my feet, and they were still human, with a small spattering of white wolf fur. I had claws on my hands, but they still looked mostly human. It struck me that I was partially shifted into the hybrid wolf woman. And it felt great. I couldn't wait to turn fully.'Olivia,' Zaiden's voice boomed in my head. My mate was close on my heels, and suddenly, I was overwhelmed by an intense desire. He was supposed to claim me. Why was he late?Without further delay, my face started to change, and a snout started to grow. It

Alice -"How long is she going to be out?" Zaiden asked anxiously.We had all settled down to eat when he had appeared carrying Olivia. She seemed to be sleeping blissfully, a contented smile adorned her face."She is changing. She will wake up in a few days. How long did rain sleep when you had turned her ?" I asked Damon."A week," he sighed. "Though later I came to know she had woken up hours ago, but she was just enjoying the attention, hence pretended to be asleep."I stifled a laugh while Rain gave him a look."What was I supposed to do, you bit me so hard !" She retorted.I shook my head at their banter."She will wake up in about 24 hours. Might be quicker, as she is genetically tampered already." Lucian said while checking on Olivia."Too bad she'll miss the celebrations," Rain said sympathetically."Is she ok? Did I bite too hard? She will wake up, right?" Zaiden asked anxiously."Don't worry, you did well. You can return to the packhouse if you wish. Keep her comfortable. I
