IANNA I listened to brother and sister talking and clearing things out. I wanted to get up and show them that u was awake but I thought I against it. They needed to talk, Aegen needed his siblings and Christina needed him too.It hurt to hear how she felt about the whole thing. She was really afraid of losing her home and everything she knew. Fighting and the anger was her crying for help. I was glad Aegen assured her that everything was going to be fine.But, I was suffocating under the blankets and I couldn't take it anymore. I threw the blankets off me then stretched my limps yawning. Aegen got up and came to me. He kissed me on the forehead and smiled. "Hey little mate, how are you feeling?" He sat next to me. I purposefully glanced at the space next to me. "OH, my sister woke up a while ago, she is in the kitchen." I knew that. I just didn't want to seem like I was listening to their conversation. "When did you come in here?" I knew he didn't leave. "I didn't leave. I was on th
AEGENWhen her mother asked what was wrong with her. I turned to see what she was talking about. I was ready to defend my mate no matter what she wanted to do. I was expecting to see her in her fighting stance. Ready to kick their butts!But instead, she was bending holding her stomach. Beads of sweat covered her forehead and she was frowning. I could tell she was in pain. Without thinking, I rushed to her asking if she was alright. She answered me with an excruciating scream falling on her knees.I was so shocked that by the time my mind started working again, she was already passed out on the ground. "Ianna!" Jeyden and I yelled her name at the same time reaching for her at the same time. "Fuck off!" I bellowed pushing him away. I picked up my mate and rushed passed everyone. Her father appeared in front of me. His eyes widened when he saw Ianna in my arms."Attend to them!" I pointed at his
Christina I could see how hurt my brother was, I could see the tears shining in his eyes. I could see the pain behind the brave face he was putting on for everyone. I could see everything and I felt sorry for him. But I was not willing to assist him.Ianna has to die for our own good. He might be sad and hurt now. But he will thank me later. Her father looked like a lost puppy while her mother and sister looked like they couldn't careless about what was happening.The sister was clinging on the young alpha while the mother stuck on the father's side who couldn't careless about her presence. It was sad to watch and it hurt that things had to happen this way. I loved Ianna, she was a good person but I had to protect my family even if it mean hurting my friend. "Is there something we can do to help?" Her father asked the doctor with his voice breaking. The doctor shook his head. "The only thing to do now is wait for the results from the lab. I will let you know once we have them." He s
Michael I didn't know what to do or what to believe but I knew for a fact that the girl was hiding something. One of my powers was knowing when someone was not being truthful to me and that girl was not. I didn't act or saying anything because I was waiting for the doctor to tell us about the test results then I was planning on locking that girl in a room until she tells me what she was hiding.I warned Ianna about her but she did not listen. She might have been good to her when she was a nobody but things changed when she found out who Ianna was. Right now, the girl was looking out for number 1. Herself. Getting my daughter out of the way was just the beginning. "Don't worry too much Michael, that girl is stronger than you think. Trust me, I know." I turned to Lupe and glared at her. "Of course I trust you on that, you of all people would know how strong she is. You have abused her for years after all." She lowered her head in shame. How dare she speak about her like that? "What a
AEGEN By the God's! Christina what that hell have you done! I was shocked for a minute there when Ianna's father dragged my sister kicking and screaming. When I came to, I rushed after them yelling. "Sir! Alpha please wait!" I didn't even know what I was saying. My mother caught up with me and grabbed my arm stopping me in my tracks. I looked at her confused. "If you want your mate to live, you are going to let that man do what he has to do, to get the truth out of that girl!" My mother scolded me like a damn child."Now I know you Aegen and I know that girl. I raised you both and your brother but I paid special attention to her because she was a girl. Adolph is not the only cunning sibling you have. I saw how she looked when I asked what you did to investigate this." She shook her head pacing then stopped and looked at me."Christina is hiding something and you don't have to have powers to see that. But you can't see that because you always had a soft spot for her since childhood.
Michael When the doctor told us that they didn't know which poison was used on my daughter. I lost it. I grabbed that girl and dragged her away. I found the first open room and shoved her inside then locked the door. "What the fuck are you hiding?" She trembled moving away from me towards the wall. I took slow steps towards her as if I was stalking my prey. "I am not in the business of repeating myself. Tell me what the fuck you are hiding" My voice was dangerously low and threatening."That I knew about my brother being crowned that night. He told me before hand but there was nothing I could do to stop him. I didn't want to stop him either, you want to take everything from us. This is our home!" She cried hysterically. She was telling the truth about what she said."I know all that but you know very well this has nothing to do with that. Keep wasting my time little girl and you will not leave this room alive." I threatened. I didn't want to kill her or cause her any harm. She was g
Adolph I was in my study reading through some documents when one of my warriors came rushing in. I sent a glare his way and he bowed his head. "Am sorry my king, but I have urgent news." I stood with my eyebrowa furrowed. What the hell could have happened now? Was the fairy King back? "Speak already!" I had no patience for such foolishness. "It's the princess..." I jumped up and headed to the door. "Follow me and tell me what is going on, what happened to my sister?" The warrior quickly stood and followed me."She was hurt, my king" hurt, who hurt her. "Could you stop telling me half the story!" I snapped. With what my sister did I could not rest. If she was hurt then it could only be our brother. Maybe he found out what she did and tried to kill her. "I don't know the whole story but she is hurt my king and no one is caring for her." If that was the case then it could only be one person, Aegenwulf! "Where is she?" I asked with my hands bailed into fists. "This way, my king." He le
Aegen The audacity of Adolph trying to make me feel guilty for what he and Christina did. Yes, they were my siblings and yes, I was supposed to be there for them. But how was I supposed to be there for them when they distanced themselves from me. When Christina went and poisoned my mate even after I told her that I could take care of us. That we wouldn't suffer, that our standard would not decrease because I had the money to have the same kind of life we had except the titles. Why did she have to go and do that?We spoke nicely and it looked like she understood when we spoke, what changed? I assured her that everything was going to be fine. Yet, she went and did that, why? I hated the position she and Adolph put me in."You see the predicament you put yourself through?" I shook my head disappointed. He called himself a king, a leader of our people and yet he did things like these. What were the people he was supposed to be leading going to think?"We did what we thought was right fo
AEGENThe guard went looking for Ianna’s phone in all the places she went to toady, but he could not find it. I tried calling it again, but it kept ringing with no answer. I didn’t think much of it when I asked my head of security to track it.But I started to worry when she told me that she tracked it to the woods close to our spot. Our spot was between the palace and the deep-water pack. There were only three people who knew about that spot and one of them was dead.Me, Ianna, and my dead sister. Also, I knew that Ianna would not have gone to that spot without me. We promised we would find time to go there together. Plus, the guard said she never left the palace grounds since I left.That only meant one thing, that her phone was stolen, and the culprit was someone who worked in the palace. I wouldn’t have cared about finding the phone if it wasn’t for the serial killer we had in our hands.I could not take any chances and there were no coincidences with these kinds of things. So, I
IannaI studied until noon then I went and got lunch for myself. I was starting to feel dizzy, and I knew it was because I didn’t eat breakfast. Aegen would have been angry with me if he knew I didn’t eat breakfast.He would have accused me of starving his child. Not knowing that I didn’t have appetite this morning. After eating, I felt sleepy, and I decided to go and take a nap for a while before going back to my studies.The week has ended and there were still no new leads on the serial killer. Aegen was getting frustrated by all of it. I could hear it in his voice very time we spoke on the phone. But there was nothing either of us could do about it.This person has to be stopped. One way or the other he has to be found. I told my guard I was going to take a nap for a while and that he should not let anyone disturb me. I missed having a friend in the palace.Now that Aegen was not here, I didn’t have anyone to talk to. It was lonely. The omega bless their souls try to talk to me and
AEGENLeaving the palace was difficult, not it was not but leaving Ianna was. Especially now, knowing that she might be in danger. We didn’t know who this was, we didn’t know where he was. He could be at the palace for all we knew and yet. I was leaving her behind.My heart was not at ease, but I had to go. She wanted me to be the best warrior in the kingdom and not her mate and father of her unborn child. She trusted me to get this person and put this matter to rest.It has been a week since I left her, and three more people have been killed so far. A she-wolf from the silver moon pack and a close guard to the young alpha of the deep-water pack. Jeyden. He too was killed the same way as the others.Another was the young alpha from the Golden Moon pack and this one was a friend of Jeyden. Now I believed that the person who was doing all the killings was after Jeyden, but we still didn’t know why.We were now back at the Deep-Water pack to question the kid. I want thinking this person
IANNAI sat there listening to Damon explain about this serial killer and I didn’t know what to do. Aegen and I have just taken over as leaders of the kingdom and yet the very first challenge we had on our hands had nothing to do with finances.Resolving pack disputes, no, our problem was bigger than anyone else’s. we had a serial killer in our hands, and we had no idea what to do or how to stop the person. I hear Damon saying they are trying to figure out what this person wanted, and I couldn’t care less about that.I wanted the person can be found. The only way to know what the person wanted was to find them and question them. “Tell me Damon, since you and my father have discovered what this person’s Amo is, have you not discovered what he wants already?”I mean, his actions and the scorpion should give them an idea what he wants. “It’s not that simple with this person. The Amo is the same, but that doesn’t give us anything at all. Just some killings done by the same person nothing
AEGENI watched from the window as my mother and Ianna’s father got into the car and left. She has been trying to talk to me since the coronation, but I would not hear any of it. She did something wrong and she needed to know that and learn.This is how Christina started her evil ways and because I forgave her when she did that. She continued to a point that she ended up almost killing my mate. Mother needs to know that we don’t do things like that I was not going to allow her to start now.What she did was vindictive for no reason because Ianna’s father chose her. Why did she have to go the extra mile rubbing it. That is one thing I will never understand.Ianna came and stood behind me. “You should have said goodbye to her.” I scoffed. “She is not dying but leaving the kingdom.” She came and stood in front of me. “You are going to miss her.”I took her into my arms inhaling her scent. “Of course. I will miss her; she is my mother after all and I love her. But, not enough to encourage
MICHAELIt was so good to see how well she was received by the kingdom. I knew they would be like that as soon as they knew who she really was. She too looked happy, I didn’t know if it was because of the crown or the pregnancy. But it didn’t matter.What mattered was that she was happy. But I wouldn’t say the same about Aegen, he looked bothered before going to be crowned. I asked his mother to go and talk to him. I didn’t want him taking the crown if he didn’t want to.My daughter deserved more than that, though I didn’t think being with her was the problem. I was sure it had something to do with his family. That was why I asked his mother to talk to him.“Penny for your thoughts?” I snapped out of it. “I was just thinking about Aegen and what could be bothering him on a day like this. Doesn’t he want the child?” I asked his mother. I didn’t know what to think and I didn’t want to leave Ianna if things were not right with them.“No, it’s not that, he is looking forward to being a fa
AEGEN I didn’t know what to say when she told me that she was pregnant. Of course, I was happy but damn it. Did she have to tell me in front of all those people. How I had to restrain myself and not act cry in front of them.I was going to be their king after all. I pulled her gently close to me and whispered. “You are a very cruel queen and you have not even been crowned yet.” She chuckled. “Why would my kind say something like that on such a day.”I gave her a playful glare. “You told me this here on purpose knowing very well I can’t do what I want to do to you. How could you do that if you were not cruel?” she laughed. “Well, Malraux kingdom, I think we should crown them now before they show us things we are not prepared to see.”That fucking elder said making the crow laugh at our expense. “This is not over, not by a long shot my dear queen.” I whispered to her, and she blushed. I could not believe she was carrying my child.No wonder she was adamant on finishing her studies ear
IANNATwo months have passed, and it was the day of the coronation. Today Aegen and I are going to be crowned king and queen of the kingdom then my father will leave with Aegen’s mother to lead the fairies. I still can’t believe those two. But they were happy and there was nothing I could do about it.I was happy for them. Aegen and I have been happy, and we are expecting. But I have not told him about that yet. I plan to tell him after the coronation. To surprise him, am sure he is going to be happy about it.Damon also took the girl from the deep-water pack as his mate, and I believe she had made him soft if I dare say. “I can’t believe this is happening, it is packed out there that it got me scared a little.” He said coming in.I turned to look at him and fixed his tie. “Well, you better get rid of that fear because it is happening. We didn’t want to go to the fairy kingdom, and this is what we got.” He sighed pouting. I kissed him.“Don’t stop, why are you stopping?” I chuckled mo
LUPEI felt sorry for my daughter, the Goddess knows I do but I could not take it anymore. It was too much. The only thing she has been doing through all of this is complain, call me stupid and asking me why I didn’t kill my other daughter.I was tired of it, we have done enough and the reason we were now going to live with the humans, it was because of us. We did this to ourselves, and we had no one else to blame but ourselves. Me especially, I am her mother, and I should have taught her right from wrong.But I didn’t and now it was too late to do anything. “Lissa, go get your bags so we can leave.” She scoffed. “Didn’t you hear what I said mom, I want them to pay for what they did to me. You have to do something.”This child is driving me insane and if she continues this way. I am going to lose my mind and I don’t know what she will do then when I am cray. “You will get me in the car and if you are not there in the next twenty minutes. I am going to leave without you.”I told her th
