REGINA

I made it out of the house unnoticed successfully and now I could only hope that somehow, when I got to Lionel’s house, they would still all be waiting for them.

The best way to make this work without causing panic was to act like it was all my idea to surprise everyone just so that the wedding can immediately take place before the blood moon passed. Afterwards, there would be so much explaining to do.

I used a ride inside, which I applied makeup to my face. Thanks to Gwen, it wasn’t so difficult to work up an emergency brush up for makeup. In no time, I was looking like I was present for the wedding indeed.

It was when I drew closer to the Williams mansion that the reality that this was my wedding and not some movie shoot hit me really hard. I could see the lights from within and could see that somehow, their roof had opened up for the blood moon to shine into the actual hall. That was beautiful. Too bad, the marriage itself wasn’t going t

    LIONELI stared at the priest for long now as he stared right at me, and then to Regina, and then to me again as if he were searching for answers on our faces, except there was nothing there. Regina remained silent as well and I knew she was not looking at me, just as I wasn’t turning my head to even get a glimpse of her, wishing she was completely invisible.“Have you two done anything that may have affected a bond between you two?” he asked now. I was already tired of it. Was it necessary to go into our history?“Is any of this necessary?” I shot at him now.“You both don’t know how marriage works, do you? Werewolf marriage, at least?” He asked.I just wanted the entire conversation to be over. “Grandpa has been filling me in.” I replied dryly, even though all Grandpa had actually said was that all marriage was unique to itself. Was this the process that made my own marriage unique because it was wearing me out?“Firstly, you n

    REGINAThe moment the priest led us out, I already knew something was wrong. He had pinched at my lifeline vein on my arm with a claw and had read right into us. I instantly had my speculations.Ruby, do you think this has to do with something about you being wounded? I asked within myself.Ruby stirred. It has everything to do with it, but it’s more complex than that.It was quite difficult listening to my thoughts and maintaining focus on the uncomfortable priest and Lionel Williams, who was doing everything in his power to distract the priest from the truth. Explain complex, Ruby. I whispered in my thoughts.He is even yet to identify that I am wounded. To get married as wolves, it requires energy from both parties. We’ve not even gotten to that phase. He simply read in and figured he was your mate earlier.I cursed under my breath. Lionel Williams would never be my mate. To hell with him for the pain he caused in me

    LIONELLucius, I don’t think this marriage was going to work after all.Like, it’s not entirely your fault.Enough playing the game of blame. I made my decision based on what was best for me and you.You cannot choose what’s best for me. Lucius growled within me.We are having nothing to do with a Donovan and that was my final decision—it still is. I am only doing this because we’ve come this far and there was no other way to convince grandpa everything was going to be fine. For now, the best thing to do was to keep playing the priest. We needed to keep him sniffing around until Regina gave in and said something that ended the marriage or, of course, until we got married. It was one of those two options. The last thing that would happen was to have the whole world think I was the one who made the efforts to end the marriage. I needed to save my pack the embarrassment and keep Grandpa in check. If Regina finally broke and did wha

  • Loving the Cold-Hearted Alpha Lionel    No One is Healing

    REGINAI was thankful the most difficult phase had passed. At least the ball was out of my court. I had done my job just right in making the priest believe I wanted this marriage to take place. Lionel didn’t seem to be giving up either. He was either going to let me be the one to break out and end the marriage or he would let the marriage happen.Now it was time to get married.I felt my heart racing within my chest. I was scared; there was no lie to that. How would I live the rest of my life with the most dangerous alpha there was? How could I avoid this lot? Something in me kept praying Lionel would be the one to flop it all.Then the priest was talking about our energies.No way!What? I was in another mes. Just when I thought the most difficult phase was over. How in the world was I going to finish this marriage ritual with Ruby broken within me?Ruby, what are we going to do? We would be needing to draw on energies

    LIONELThis could only get worse.How was I to channel energy when my energy core was broken? Why do we feel this way? I asked Lucius. Why do I feel so dizzy and drained?You cannot force the healing of the marriage bond, Lionel. Lucius replied. There must be something pulling you both together for the bond to heal and for this marriage to be sealed. You are only trying to heal the wound and pulling on all the energy we’ve got when our energy core is broken and we are yet to heal. It doesn’t work this way, Lionel. There’s nothing that can be done about it.My entire body tensed. How would we get over this level? In no time, Regina was going to heal and it would all be pointed out to me that for some reason, the great alpha Lionel had damage within him that stopped him from healing.How are we supposed to face that?“You’re both not healing!” The priest had cried.Wait a minute... Are we being serious right now?

    REGINAI knew Lionel was brash. I knew he was desperate. I knew he could do whatever it took to get what he wanted. What I did not know he could do was let it get to this extent.It took some time before I could wrap my mind around the fact that Lionel had kissed me—he was kissing me.The moment he laid his lips on mine, everything went blank. It was difficult to breathe; it was difficult to think. I just knew I existed, but I couldn’t get to think about anything else for the next few seconds.Then I remembered that this wasn’t real. This was just part of the game. This was just part of his playing his part to heal and leave me behind. Even as he kissed me, my brain was able to process that much.I kissed him back. He was desperate, yes. I wanted to show him that I wasn’t the type that could be joked with either. With my lips, I held to his firm, sturdy lips, filling myself with him, returning the favor.Then he ended t

    REGINA I could see the shock traced all over Gwen’s face. “You don’t mean what you just said, Regina.” Just thinking about it brought a saddening weakness on me. I remembered my struggle escaping from Richie and the men. It was just a lot of story. “Oh, Gwen… how much more deadly could this get. What have I signed up for?” “How did he do it? How did he kidnap you and have the guts to be right here in our midst, pretending to be searching for you?” “He had Richie do it.” “What?” “Yes, Richie. That street tout we ran into every now and then. He paid Richie to kidnap me alongside some other men. They used Marcy as bait, Gwen..." I couldn’t hold back the tears anymore. “Can you believe that? They sent me a letter that supposedly came from my own sister, asking her to meet her quietly and then they held me captive for days.” Gwen hugged me to calm me as we danced and th

    LIONELIf we could call the wedding off already and skip the extra activities that came with it, I’d have gladly agreed. But then we were to hold hands and dance together for everyone to watch. Seriously? It’s not like I didn’t know married couples did such. This was just different. The fake act was getting to its brim. It was weird—having to come so close to her, to hold her hand and let her as she placed the other against my shoulder and of course, she wasn’t looking right into my eyes because there was nothing to see in them. This was horrible. I had a sickening feeling that the pretence was beginning to show on our faces because we were both totally tired of the whole thing. It only took a while of swerving around the room before some other people began to join us—Ryker and Gwen and a couple others. Soon, the dance began to climax and we began switching partners to my greatest relief. It was then that I spotted Beatrice.

    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

    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
