LIONEL

“Sir Lionel…”

“Stay with me, Frank!” I whispered to him. What was the best thing to do? Stay by his side until he died or run to get help?

“Frank, you have to give me some time. I need to go get help.” I assured him. He suddenly held on to my suit jacket, as more blood came through his mouth.

“No… no, stay with me. Please. Please don’t leave!’ He begged, holding onto me more tightly than ever. I had never felt my entire emotions swell so terribly that it hit my chest so hard, I bent over in pain.

This was the pain of guilt; and that was what I was feeling. It was consuming me. Is this how I was going to live on forever, carrying the blood of Frankenstein in my hands.

I felt something else, another emotion that was not guilt – anger, speedily rising within me, an energy from within. As a wolf, whatever energy we gave off had to have a source, and somehow, I thought I could feel one being provided from me from the depths of

    LIONEL“What? I don’t understand.” I replied. What the hell was Lucius trying to say? What had he meant by “I had no energy source anymore?”“Everything that has to do with us – shapeshifter, lycans, werewolves, whatever – it has to do with a circle of time – fate and destiny altogether. You heard your grandpa – with time, you will uncover the gift. You didn’t listen, and now we both have to pay the price.”I was becoming more furious the longer we were having this conversation. “You saw what was happening, Lucius. He was going to die!”“Then leave him be. You’ve always been a ferocious heartless alpha. What is happening now, then? This is who we are – vicious!”“And I have not changed!” I growled.“So why put us both in danger to save a man you never even cared about?”“Isn’t it my energy to draw? I do with my energy whatever I please!” I shot back at him.“Well, here’s what has happened, Lionel Williams.

    LIONELI felt stronger, my arms felt solid and though my legs were wobbly, I could actually walk. Grandpa had excused me some minutes earlier to get some packaged meal for both I and Ryker. I was famished.My next stop was to go to see my beta, but someone else had dropped by in my ward before I could step out. It was Frankenstein.I didn’t know exactly how to feel on setting my eyes on him.He looked like someone that had definitely suffered the height of what he had suffered – poisoning that would have surely ended his life, especially for a human like him.“Thank you, sir.” He muttered quietly. I could hear the sincere gratitude in his voice. I just wasn’t in the mood to say anything to him – not now. I was still trying to understand my own troubles, and what he had landed me in the moment he somehow chose to come to my office at the right time when the poison would kick in. Why the hell had he not just stayed at the party where everyo

    REGINAIt was not easy navigating the paths with so much running, but the full moon was helping. Still, I couldn’t tell how far I had come. What if he was right behind?My phone!I remembered just then as I stopped to catch my breath. Think… think…I had dropped it behind. I had dropped it when I used it to attack him. There was no way to call Gwen or father now and tell them of the danger I was in.He’s close. I sense him. Ruby warned.I heard the leaves rustle just then and pulled on the entire strength I could, picking up with the race through the woods. Where was I? I was lost. How would I find my way? What mattered though was to keep going.Then I thought I spotted him – a figure of a man dove through the bushes, crashing against some twigs, running parallel to me. There was no way I would overpower that. I had to hide.I stopped instantly and slid underneath and hedge of bushes, waiting patiently, trying n

    LIONEL Nope, I wasn’t going to have this conversation with Gwen. “I’ve had a long day; Gwen and I’m only surprised I’m out here with you so how about we just give it a pass?” I looked away, trying to be at my nicest possible. “No, Lionel… How about we finish what you started? You tried to put it on me so let’s talk about it!” Gwen roared back. Everything was playing on my nerves so badly; I could lash right out at her and tear her into bits. If, of course, I was in my best strength. “Believe me, I am extremely pissed with you and Regina; you both don’t know just how bad you’ve made things become for yourselves for interfering in a matter that was yours to stay away from.” Gwen laughed dryly. “You really don’t see your faults, do you?” I wasn’t going to let anything she said get to me. “Read me clearly.” I growled as I drew closer to her. “Stay away from Ryker… You are not permitt

    REGINA“There’s a belief that werewolves have gifts… that’s spirit beings like us.” I stated, deep in thoughts, my mind racing as it sought ways to take us out of this situation.We don’t want to be getting into that topic yet, Regina. Ruby replied. We are yet to find ways to heal from the rejection that is slowing down our abilities. The last thing we need is to search for an energy source from our broken selves which will eventually cause more damage if not kill us.I had heard of those stories when I was just a child – of certain wolves gifted with superhuman abilities that accompanied their powers of being a werewolf. I had always dreamt of having one myself.“Do we have one, Ruby? Do we have a gift?”I thought I heard Ruby sigh. Not every werewolf out there has the werewolf gifts and abilities – that’s the first thing you should note. Secondly, I can’t tell if we’re among the lucky gifted werewolves. It’s not something you train or p

    LIONELIf I was going to get married, I needed to have a clear head, whether I was down for the marriage or not. That’s why I did take the rest as necessary.I and Ryker left the hospital the next day by dawn. It was a cold morning.Grandpa was being the best and somehow, his presence was more noticeable than what it used to be. He was around all the time, catering to both I and Ryker. I wasn’t sure how things would have looked like without him.The wedding was tomorrow and the activities in the house had tripled. I could already picture what it would be like tomorrow night and the goddess up there knew I anticipated none of it. Sometimes, I wondered what Regina would be thinking… What was she up to?The last time I had seen her, she had got that creepy piece of paper from a delivery guy. I had gotten nothing about the letter, thanks to Frankenstein who had done such great job at coming in the way just in time.There was still a

    LIONEL Our alpha-beta time together was almost looking like a funeral gathering already. Ryker followed me quietly as we strolled into the woods, not saying a word but looking upon the ground with his head bowed and a slight frown on his face.I had been telling him something about a myth I had read up when I realized he wasn’t truly listening to me.“Hey?” I called out his attention. “Are you even listening to me?”He steered back just then. “I am.” He replied uncertainly. “What did you say?”“Is there something we should talk about?”I could see the uneasy switch in his expression just then and knew that indeed, there was something to talk about.“Had you listened to I and Gwen’s conversation?”I was very bad at pretending. He must have had his suspicions from the moment he returned to the sitting room.“Yes.” I replied. His shoulder slumped tiredly. “Look… you both were simply talking okay? It’s not

    LIONEL “Here comes the groom – Lionel Williams of the Silver Moon pack.” Was that necessary? I growled within me as my eyes scanned the area. Everything seemed so in place. The guests were already going by and by, through one another, exchanging pleasantries. It was as if the whole world had come together under my roof. Did Grandpa really have these many people to invite? On hearing the announcement, they all paused now and turned towards me raising their glasses holding all types of drinks. “To the groom!” One of the people in the audience announced. He was a familiar face, but I couldn’t quite place it. I wasn’t thinking straight enough to place it. “To the groom!” They all chorused as they drank. What the hell was I supposed to do? I could still feel the many eyes on me like they were anticipating I’d say or do something. I felt Ryker nudge me from behind. “Just appreciate them…” The whisper came in a

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    Where I Belong

    REGINA I made my way to Marcy’s room shortly after seeing Lionel. She looked so small lying there, her face pale but serene. Her hands rested on her swollen belly protectively, even in her sleep. My heart clenched at the sight of her. The sister I had thought I’d lost forever was here again, and despite everything we had endured, there was hope. Then I thought of the tragedy that had befallen her—of Silas and everything else. Victor had indeed taken more than we could imagine. “Marcy,” I whispered as I approached her bed. Her eyes fluttered open, groggy but quickly filling with recognition. “Regina?” she murmured, her voice hoarse. I nodded, tears already welling up. “It’s me.” She eased into a smile. “I just knew you could do it. I just knew you could. You’ve always been just too strong.” I laughed as I planted a kiss on her forehead. “How’s the b

    LIONEL The first thing I noticed was the sterile smell of antiseptic. My body felt heavy, but the softness of the hospital bed was comforting. Slowly, I blinked my eyes open. Regina’s face came into focus. Her hair was slightly disheveled, dark circles shadowed her eyes, but she was the most beautiful sight I’d ever seen. Her hand rested on mine, her touch grounding me. “Lionel,” she whispered, her voice filled with relief and tenderness. Tears welled up in her eyes as she leaned closer. “You’re awake.” I managed a weak smile. “Hey…” Before I could say more, Grandpa appeared by her side, his face a mixture of concern and relief. Ryker and Gwen were there too, their expressions lighter than I’d seen in days. “You gave us quite the scare, kid,” Grandpa said, his gruff tone unable to mask the emotion in his voice. “Victor?” I rasped, the memories of the fight f

    REGINA “No,” I whispered, cradling Lionel closer. His breathing was shallow, his usually vibrant eyes clouded with pain. Victor stood a few paces away, lowering his weapon with a chilling casualness. “You should've just cooperated with the plan, Regina.” He chuckled disdainfully. “You and that pathetic excuse of an alpha.” “Don’t you dare!” Marcy’s voice cut through the tension, and I turned just in time to see her charging at Victor. “Marcy, no!” I screamed, but it was too late. Victor swatted her away like she was nothing, sending her flying into the side of the truck. She hit the metal with a sickening thud, collapsing in a heap. My mouth dropped open, my scream coming uncontrollably. “Stay down, girl,” Victor sneered, turning his attention back to me. I froze, my arms tightening protectively around Lionel. Every instinct screamed at me to fight, but my b

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    Let’s End This

    REGINA I and Marcy had been together in the room, waiting, when we heard the sounds of the war going on outside the building. Lionel was here. At first, a feeling of joy and assurance rushed to me, but almost immediately, a certain panic rushed through me when we had waited for quite long enough and Lionel was yet to show up. “Are you sure he’s still okay?” Marcy asked, the fear in her voice evident. “He is okay.” I replied with all certainty. “Nothing could happen to Lionel!” Then the men suddenly stormed in, barking orders. Marcy and I rose hastily and followed the men down the corridors, all the way to the back of the warehouse. Soon, we were out in the dark and there was nothing but the dim lights of the moon to guide us through. I could still hear the faint buzz of war on the other far end of the building. Axel led the group of Victor’s men, his expression unreadable, but

    LIONEL His taunting words drove me mad, but I refused to give him the satisfaction of seeing me fall apart. I clenched my jaw, focusing on my breathing as I adjusted my stance, preparing for the next round. But Victor wasn’t done. He was playing with me, like a predator toying with its prey. He danced just out of reach, circling me, his every movement calculated, precise. “You know, Lionel,” he began. “I’ve always admired your strength. But strength doesn’t mean anything when it’s built on lies. Your so-called ‘perfect love’ with Regina? It’s a joke. You’re both weak, just like your parents were. Too sentimental. Too tied down by your pathetic little bond.” His words struck harder than any blow he could throw, reminding me of all the mistakes I’d made, of all the things I’d failed to protect. The past kept clawing at me, refusing to let go. I roared in fury, charging toward him once more, but this time, I cou

    LIONEL All I needed was a location and just that, Arturo had provided. Another site, another holding of Victor’s. Even if it meant going to a hundred locations this same night, as long as I was not dead, I was going to set my eyes on Regina and there was nothing that could be done to change that. As we drew closer to the warehouse where Regina was supposedly held, we knew better than to just storm our way in. We needed to maintain a low profile. The warehouse loomed ahead, its corrugated metal walls dull and rusted under the dim glow of the moonlight. A faint chill ran down my spine as I scanned the perimeter. This was the place. I could feel it in my gut. Regina was inside, and I wasn’t leaving without her. Ryker crouched beside me, his face set in grim determination. Arturo and his men from the Eric Circle pack fanned out behind us, their movements silent and purposeful. Each of them carried

    REGINA “You already know how it started,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “I refused to marry Lionel. I couldn’t. Not when my heart belonged to Silas.” I nodded, memories of that time flashing through my mind. Marcy had always been the rebellious one, the sister who defied tradition and sought her own path. “When I ran away with Silas, we thought we’d left everything behind,” she continued, her voice growing steadier. “We crossed borders, traveling from pack to pack, always looking over our shoulders. But eventually, we found a place where we could be safe, a small pack in a distant country. It was nothing like home, but it was ours. We built a life there, Regina. A happy life.” Her lips quivered, and I could see the love she still held for Silas shining in her eyes, even through her grief. “We planned to come back one day,” she said, her voice cracking. “To face

    REGINA I awoke slowly. “Regina?” The voice echoed in my head, but the familiarity could not be mistaken. I knew I was captured again; alone, with no one to protect me, my heart aching in ways I couldn't even put into words. This time, not just for my own mistakes, but for my sister’s life as well. “Marcy…” I cried quietly. How? I lay on the cold, unforgiving floor of the dimly lit room, the rough stone scraping against my skin. The chains around my wrists felt heavier than ever, and my heart felt heavier still. It wasn’t just the physical pain that gnawed at me—it was the emotional torment of seeing my sister’s frightened eyes, the same eyes I remembered from our childhood, filled with so much terror. "Regina?" Marcy’s voice broke through the silence. Her voice was hoarse, trembling, as though she too couldn’t find the words to express th

    REGINA I could feel the cold metal of the handcuffs biting into my skin as the car jolted over uneven terrain. Victor’s grip on my life—on everything I cared about—was suffocating, his constant presence a reminder of just how trapped I truly was. Axel was beside me, silent, but I could feel his gaze flicking over me like a hawk, calculating and waiting for any sign of weakness. But I wasn’t about to give him the satisfaction of seeing me break. Victor had been playing a game with Lionel. Each move designed to frustrate, each location a new dead end. I could tell it was wearing on him. His anger had become more pronounced, his impatience clearer. But it wasn’t just about the hunt anymore—it was about power, and I was the key to it all. The car slowed as we turned onto a dirt road, the thud of the tires against the gravel echoing in the small space. The lights outside flickered and then dimmed. I didn’t know where we were going this time,
