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

    REGINA“Richie?” I gasped.He stood surprised for a while and then, in the most psychotic manner, he dropped his arms weakly and sighed heavily.“You’ve just complicated everything, Regina. This shouldn’t be the plan, you know that, right? You are not supposed to see my face.”“Well, then I’ve seen your face now what? What the hell is this? Why are you doing this?”I and Richie had no actual business apart from the fact that he was just some regular street guy that always tried to bully me and Marcy every now and then, especially when we were younger. No wonder he was able to convince me Marcy had written the letter that led me straight here.“Now that you’ve seen my face, I’m going to have to make you forget you ever saw me in some way.” He replied.“I don’t understand.” I honestly didn’t. “Some way like what? What are you going to do, Richie?”“We’d think about that later.”“Richie, you have to let me go! What the hell is the motive behind this goddamn stress? Let me go! You do know

    LIONEL I was in a world where I was just having a little fun and both women fell dead right before me while I barely escaped an attacker that could clean up a murder scene in seconds. I was in a world where everything was uncertain. What if I just found Regina to be dead? How would I explain it all to Grandpa? How would Grandpa ever forgive me when I wouldn’t even be able to forgive myself? Forgive myself? I gave it a thought. Had I done something wrong? Well, I had been careless with her. I should never have let her out of my sight, no matter how much I despised her. I should have ensured she was always there. Staying in a different room was a bad idea. Now, there was only one way to right all these wrongs. I needed to goddamn move! There was also the detective, though. Nicholas had called the night before and I had never reached out to him again. Perhaps this was also a good time to talk to h

    LIONEL “No, Lucius. I think something is beginning to make sense. This cars speaks about healing... restoration of energy... ” Lucius waited, almost like he was beginning to see what I was seeing as well. “Do you remember the night at the wedding, Lucius? The moment when I and Regina were to heal from the blood bonding... We were not healing because our energy core was broken, but then Regina was not healing either.” Are you saying Regina has an issue with her energies as well? “I can’t conclude for sure, but it was most likely that somehow, Regina also had the problem with her energies. You said it yourself that the fact that we were broken did not in any way affect her own healing process, and yet she wasn’t healing fast enough. So what if she had come here…” To find healing? Lucius completed. Oh, dear goddess. I ran my fingers through my hair in realization. It was like an ima

    REGINA It was so dark anyone could have stumbled and fallen but I could easily glide through thanks to my night vision. “Ray, come this way. Hold my hand and let’s go together.” I could hear Ray’s discomfort, stumbling over the rocky grounds as he tried to keep up. I held his arm now and continued through the cave. I could still spot the wolf ahead, gliding through gracefully, checking every now and then to see if we were still following. Then suddenly, the wolf vanished from sight. I was still so busy running as fast as I could that I didn’t even notice that the wolf was already out of sight. When I took notice, however, I came to a stop. Ray stopped beside me, holding his knees as he coughed uncontrollably. Neither of us said a word because we were too busy struggling with our breaths. But I was also too busy trying to find the wolf. I couldn’t see anything. Even with my night vision, this felt darker th

    LIONEL They would only find their casualties and of course, they should be wiser next time. I heard them from inside and then they were out in the dark again, by the shores of the beach with their guns poised as they scouted the dark, searching for something that may point towards me. Then they started advancing towards the forest, splitting up. The next instinct in my mind now was to play their game, of course. All I needed to do was follow them into the forest—my domain and territory—and there I would kill them one after the other. But then I remembered the casualties in my room. Not only were two men dead—two men whose colleagues had taken their bodies out just before me and most definitely cleared out the evidence of them ever being there. There were also the two ladies I was just having a good time with lying death in my room, both shot in the head. Why was it that anytime I decided to have a little bi

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    Lionel is Attacked

    LIONEL What harm could be in a little moment of sex, just a little time to enjoy myself and forgetting the shit of a wife I married? That was what I was experiencing now. I was Lionel Williams. I had my way with whatever I wanted. Imagine having two girls go head over heels to have this moment with me, and yet, there was a wife I had who dared to leave me sight and go out fucking another man. Fuck you, Regina! The good thing is there was something to put all that anger on now. As I cursed at Regina, I squeezed Lydia’s boobs and spanked Jemma’s butts. Both women were already sliding out of their dresses, both stark naked as they moaned and panted, struggling for who could kiss me first. I was still in my clothes even though Lydia’s hand slipped underneath my shirt and rubbed my breasts till it hardened. Jemma was faster. She instantly slid her palm over the bulge of my pants, struggling to grab my crotch as

    REGINA After a good while, all we found was nothing but large mountains, a couple of trees sticking out around cooler areas and endless piles of dusty stones. “We can’t be sure we’re making any headway.” Ray stated now beneath one of the shades we found with trees around. “Neither can we be sure we’re safe, right?” I mentioned. Ray gave me an inquisitive glance. “You feel it could be dangerous finding the Mountain Men?” I shrugged. “Well, we can’t exactly tell what is going on yet, can we?” “So what is your plan B? What would happen if we found these Mountain Men and we couldn’t seem to find our way back?” “Lionel would definitely come to look for us.” I replied. Ray seemed panicked. “Look, I need us to get this straight. You said Lionel would not be here to find us.” “Yes, that’s if, of course, I make it back in a day plus and not more than that

    REGINA “Such is life. I need help here, Ray, and from your knowledge, only you can help me in this desperate time.” I convinced him further. He nodded now, apparently more energized and ready for the trip. “Alright, are we going to walk there or take a vehicle?” “I don’t want us drawing attention. It’s a tourist center so eyes could be on us. I think we should walk the way.” Ray made a face but shrugged nevertheless. “Alright, we move then.” He replied. I headed for the door slowly and hesitated when I felt his arm on my shoulder. “Regina, are you sure about this?” He asked. I smiled. “Believe me, no sane person wants to embark on this journey. If it wasn’t that important, I wouldn’t be doing this.” He nodded. “Then let’s do what had to be done.’ I left the room, happy to have met someone as helpful and supportive as Ray. As we made our way out of the room, I locke

    REGINA “Don’t worry, Ray. There’s nothing you should worry about.” “Regina, your husband was a werewolf and you didn’t even, at least, warn me that he was something of such, not to talk about even telling me about this. In all, I should have just stayed away from you!” “To hell with that, Ray!” I shot back. “Whatever Lionel is cannot stop me from living my life the way I want!” He shook his head. “Regina… Regina… You’re not listening. Your so-called husband could have killed me. That easy, Regina!” “He wouldn’t hurt you. He could threaten you but he wouldn’t hurt you.” “What is wrong with you? I mean, you sound so sure of something so abnormal.” I shrugged. “What can I say? He’s my husband.” Ray suddenly paused and I could see a new curiosity on his face. It was like he had read another new discovery in my words. “Regina… if you could marry the werewolf. Are you al

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    What Happened With Regina

    REGINA I was alive, I was safe, and I was just wondering whether Lionel was even thinking about me. It began with the night of the accident when the car had slid down the hill and Lionel had come just in time to rescue me. That same night, I had struck a new deal with him and saved myself from having to be blackmailed each time I set my eyes upon him—I was not going to bother Grandpa with news of the accident and he was not going to ever bring it up as me being indebted to him. It had gone perfectly well with him in his room, and at this point, all I wanted to do was return to my room and allow myself to fall deeply asleep. It was just after I had a shower that I got a knock. The first idea I had was that Lionel was back again with something to rule out my little threat against him. On the contrary, it was my good new friend. It was Ray. “Hey, Ray.” I made to shake him as I extended my hand to him. He shrugg
