MANIPULATING THE ELUSIVE ALPHA Chapter Twenty-five: Tristan or King Lucien?
EMILY'S POV “Please don't do this, please. I didn't do anything to you please stop please.” I begged, tears flowing freely out of my eyes but she was completely deaf to my pleas, scooping up more sand and pouring into the hole, I struggled to my feet attempting to run to one or the ends of the whole and climb out but each time I tried, she rushed to me and hit my hand. Eventually, I got too sore to even lift them. My legs are too weak to carry me. The sand was filling the hole and she was laughing maniacally at me. All I could do was cry.I looked up at the moon's goodness and I prayed silently. “Please Lucien help me. Lucien… Tristan.” Was the last name that left my mouth before the sand covered my head.I was suffocating. I was sure I was going to die. I hoped Lucien would take care of the children and I still wanted to say something to Tristan. I almost went cold when someone grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the sand.I felt my body jerk out and fall into someone's arm
MANIPULATING THE ELUSIVE ALPHA Chapter Twenty-six: Appeasing Lucien
LUCIEN'S POV “Tristan, I am only being patient with you because we have a history together. And am only letting you go because you have been loyal. However, You coveted my wife and that is not something I find funny at all. Whether I am nonchalant about the affairs of my family or not, is none of your business, Tristan. For the sake of friendship, you are suspended from your duties as a chief of my guard. Until I say so, you can not return.” I gulped down the lump in my throat. The expressionless gaze he kept on the kneeling Tristan was chilling my bones and slowly bringing me to understand that I was being selfish. Trying to keep two men under my wings; one I loved and the other that I was sexually attracted to. I knew then that Lucien was the one I lived with but I had never been tenderly touched the way Tristan had touched me. I should have just stayed with Lucien inside gently instead of following that disguised maid outside. I felt a sore feeling in my stomach, a fe
MANIPULATING THE ELUSIVE ALPHA Chapter Twenty-seven: Nathaniel Kane
LUCIEN'S POV I walked up to my throne and sat down, rubbing the sore on my mouth. Emily bit down so hard last night that it left a wound. What a naughty girl!Well, at least she wasn't running away from me anymore and the boys are becoming harder to control. I was not this big of a headache when I was growing up.While I was lost in my thoughts, General Thorson stepped into the room and his heavy footsteps brought me back to reality. I looked up to him as he bowed before me. “I had everything ready, my king. Soldiers stationed In all streets to make sure nothing happens.” He reported.“Alright.” I stood up immediately and the two of us headed outside. Today, I decided to go on an inspection around the capital city. A strange rumor had been in the air for a while and I wanted to see for myself, the man who was boldly spreading them. Tristan was still suspended and so I was going with the general. We had disguised ourselves in ordinary clothes and left the palace through the
MANIPULATING THE ELUSIVE ALPHA Chapter Twenty-Eight: News of a Voice in the Wilderness.
LUCIEN'S POV “What?! What are you doing? What are you trying to do?” Nathaniel yelled at Thorson and his men as they lifted him to take him into an inner room in the uncompleted building, to carry out the instruction I gave.He screamed louder and louder, demanding to know why I was doing this. That he could help me take down the useless king if that's what I want. He still taught me to be someone else.I raised a hand, halting the boys. They put the screaming man down, I walked to him and stood in front of him.“You have a lot of information, Mr Nathaniel and that is why you have to die.” His eyes grew wide.“But what did I ever do to you? I have only spoken of that king and nothing about you,” he retired. “You have said a lot of things about me man, especially since I am the useless king you keep talking about.” His eyes grew wide. I took off the mask over my mouth and he saw it for himself. I expected him to reach to his knees and beg for forgiveness for what he did but
MANIPULATING THE ELUSIVE ALPHA Chapter Twenty-nine: Teaming up with Malcolm
NATHANIEL'S POV They jerked my body off the cart and it fell into the hole. I was still breathing but barely clinging to life. But it wasn't the Wounds and the pain that hurt me but the fact that I had been, just like my family, killed by a man who was no pure-blooded Werewolf. I heard the soldiers say a few things mockingly, and then they spat on my slightly open eyes and walked away. I lay there, awaiting my death but then I began to hear her talking again, it’s coming closer and I could sense the power approaching even though I was dying. The wolf stopped beside the hole I was thrown into and I heard him say to someone to bring me out of the hole. Soon, I felt my body moving and falling on firm shoulders. They brought me out of the hole and continued. I was losing consciousness, the last thing I could remember was some saying.“Fix him. We need him to…” and the husky masculine voice fell into the dark. …… My eyes opened slowly. I turned to the side and immediately, a
MANIPULATING THE ELUSIVE ALPHA Chapter Thirty: The Raid
NATHANIEL'S POV “We are under attack. We are under attack!” Malcolm's voice blazes like a horn, it grows louder hitting the atmosphere and everyone dreads out of their tents, positioning themselves immediately. It's part of their rules that whatever you're doing and you hear the master voice like that, you must leave whatever you're doing and spring to action. Everyone already knows their roles and where to station. They were battle-ready. I quickly took my trousers from the floor and pulled them up.“What's going on?” I asked her“That foolish King must have sent his men here… he is courting death, our lord Malcolm never loses”. She looked at me, her face full of hate.She burnt some stuff out of a silver diagram and gave it to me.“You are wounded, you can't fight plus you need to stay alive, so stay here and protect yourself. I have to go out and help others”. She moved closer to me, her nose almost touching mine, she cracked into a mysterious smile, and at the sam

NATHANIEL POVWe moved further into the forest but from behind me, I could perceive the smile of dying wolves blazing filled my nose, I could not shake It off ... everything just felt like it was repeating itself like the nights my family was massacred. It seemed so much like it was happening again although I was moving forward, with Nadia trees cutting my flesh and ripping my trousers and the bandages over my chest.Fear still found its way on my skin, like cold chills, my legs getting weaker slowly as the flashback filled my mind, I could remember the sounds behind me that day, how they faded and all I could hear was little wolves weeping and my mother shouting at me to run for my life.The trauma kicked in and I clenched my fist, my heart beating fast, tears building up in my eyes, my pace slowed and Nadia too was too weak. We were carried away with our peculiar situation at the moment and this gave the enemy a chance, a gray wolf appeared from nowhere behind us and I didn't noti
MANIPULATING THE ELUSIVE ALPHA Chapter Thirty-two: Who is Malcolm?
EMILY'S POV I put the boys to sleep and I went out of the room, locking the door with a key then I went into our room. He was there, in his nightwear, lying on the bed, awake and thinking. He didn't even hear me come in. Then I shut the door and the sound drew his attention. He sat up, allowing me to climb into the bed and his arms.“You are so distracted lately. Have things gotten so bad?” I asked him, with a soft tone.“You don't have to worry. Just focus on yourself and the children.” He tried to wave the topic.“I am, which is why I am asking. I have eaten, you have not, which is unlike you, and you know what I heard everything. I heard the councilmen talking about rogue wolves outside the city. Then I saw Thorson mobilizing men. Later I saw him return with many wounded men and wolves in caves. What is going on?” I gave him a serious stare.“I told you it's nothing” I rose from the bed, pulling out of his embrace.“I saw Tristan come in, maybe I should ask him.” He glares

Liam took it.“What is happening? It's been a long time since the family was completely like this. It's been a while since I saw Liam.”He breathed. "We are going to try something. We hope and pray it works.”“What?” "Just watch and see. Be calm.”I stepped aside, Liam let go of his hand and we moved away from him. Lucas closed his eyes and held his father's hand.His essence began to glow in his heart and split in half. We watched with groped hearts and pensive spirits as Lucas shared his essence with Lucien. Immediately it was complete, Lucas slumped on the ground, his skin paled out a little, and his hair turned grey.I ran to him, touching him to see if he was still warm. He was and I breathed in great relief.Liam touched me.“Attend to father. I can handle him.” I nodded and stood u

Remember this before you meet the creature you must not harbor any secret in your heart.”She looked at the bag of weapons Dion was carrying.“You should know that you are not supposed to take that in with you.”Dion smiled and spoke for the first time in hours.“We can't take chances. If there is no need to use it then we will not use it.”“If you say so. Be careful though. I will wait here.”I looked at her. “You are not coming in with us?”“Yes.

EMILY'S POVHeartbroken I pulled out of Dion's arm and yelled out into the forest.“How dare you ask me to come here without having the solution to my problem. I believed you existed like you have said and I followed the map. I came here. How can you tell me what isn't true? Does it amuse you to play with the heart of the wounded? Guess you deserve all that has happened to you and your people then ”My tears wet my clothes and My head ached because of anger. Amid my yelling, I heard a chuckle of an old voice.“So you came? I am impressed, Luna. I have never seen someone as desperate as you are. You must love this husband of yours so much."I looked toward the voice, and Dion looked too. An old Woman emerged from the burnt forest. “I am the One who sent you the letter. Honestly, I simply replicated the letter indeed to those I told that I had the cure to the problem. No one had ever honored my invite before and then the city was still in full bloom. I certainly did not expect that t

SOME MONTHS AFTER.EMILY'S POV I carried the baby down and Lucas took him from my hand. He cuddled the little pup and he giggled loudly.“At this rate, we will all be heard," someone spoke behind me, it was Liam, dressed in the robe of his father.Lucas stuck his tongue out at him, “Stop whining about your brother mini-Alpha Liam.”Liam glared at him. And Lucas laughed his ass off as usual." Asshole come along you know we have a patrol this evening and I cannot do it alone.” Liam beckoned on his brother. Lucas excused himself to keep the child inside.Liam looked at me. Who was silently watching them?“Are you going out again?" He asked his voice sober."Yes apparently... I have news that a man in one of the kingdoms in the east has some information that might help me.”He heaved. “Another assumption.”I gave him an accusing look."Mother please get me right, am trying to say I want my father to be healed too, it's just that… it's been roughly a year and a half since he got t

I didn't see any sign, there was no sign at all.” Shock is written all over me.Lucien kissed my cheek. “My warrior wife was too busy to notice."Seriously I could not comprehend how I was with child the whole time. And still did not know despite all the stress I went through. So many thoughts were going through my head at the same time. Lucien's came to my rescue.“Stop thinking. You just woke up, nothing is going to make sense for now but by tomorrow morning, you will be more fine. Okay? “I breathed, my nerves still not calm maybe it was because I was very confused or maybe it was because I was sitting in between Lucien's legs and he was staring at me with his cold ecstatic eyes filled with passion.“I missed you so much.” He muttered and my heart fluttered. He kissed me, going deeper. I missed him more and I got carried away, pressing him on the bed for

EMILY'S POV . “Lucien” his name escaped from my mouth the moment I realized he was the one behind me. He smiled heartily. Holding me firmly so I would not fall. “When did you get here? How come you are here?".I asked weakly. 'Let's finish things first we will talk about this later.” He said to me. His voice reassuring. I decided to follow his decision. We both went to find the boys.The forbidden rooms were extra large., We could not get through all of it by ourselves, soldiers were disbursed to search all areas. I tried connecting to them through the mind link but they were not linking back with me.Lucien's tried to sniff them out but nothing was working. I began to doubt that they were in that room at all. The thought left my heart beating fast on my chest. I tried to calm myself but the feeling persisted.

The three slept through the entire film.When the movie was over they picked up their tired selves and left the Cinema.“Did You get to watch some part of the movie?” Lucas asked Kalife who was stretching herself outside."Nope. The movie was boring as hell."Lucas chuckled nervously. This plan was a waste. What else can he do now?“Whose hungry? I know a place."“Well I think we should head back," she answered.“Come on, Kalife don't you want to explore the city? Let's take a small road trip and then stop to eat at the restaurant owned by a beta called Max Meyers” Lucas nudged her shoulder a little. “Well, I do like a good adventure ” she smiled a little."Alright, let's go" Lucas slipped his hand into Kalife's finger, interlocking them.

(SIDE STORY)LIAM'S POV I looked away. Kalife was the traveling type but I honestly did not know she had never been to the cinema. If I did, I would have taken her there one of these days now. Lucas was now the one asking her to go with him.‘Well, it's good, it's not a big deal.’ I tried convincing myself, although I had mixed feelings about the whole thing. As much as I tried to distract myself with the trainers and the games that they were preparing for, I could not help but keep thinking about the idea of Lucas and Kalife going to the cinema together, so I wasn't paying attention to what they were saying again.I remember Kalife turned down Lucas’ request because he told her I wouldn't need to be there.Before they left I took a side glance at them. My eyes spotted their hands interlocking and Lucas pulling her away.I looked sharply at them but they were already running out of the training ground before I could do anything.'Liam calm down. He just wanted to drag her out, it's
