ONE MONTH LATER.........
**************************************************
AXEL'S POV............
It's been a month since Sydney left,a month of no loss,a month of no trouble and a month of no Sydney,I could never be more happy.The others thought it called for a celebration so they threw a glamorous party. Usually a week wouldn't pass by without some sort of trouble but now a whole month had gone by with nothing to be worried about so it really called for celebration.The party was superb,there was a lot of booze and women, there was a lot of music and women, there was also a lot of food,drinks and did I mention women,yeah! there were practically everywhere,all thanks to Cary that slut. I walked up to meet Alia and Cary who were sitting at the bar and discussing.
"It's been a month now,how is your stomach not big".
She choked even though there was nothing in her mouth and narrowed her eyes at Cary,letting me know that he was listening to our conversation.
Cary grinned "Come on Alia,I already knew you were pregnant".
She glared at me and I raised my arms in defence "I didn't tell him,really".
"No one told me,I kind of figured it out myself".
She shrugged "Okay then,the reason my stomach is not big yet is because I got Sue to cast a spell on me to keep the pregnancy hidden".
Cary raised his brow "But won't that like affect the baby and why do you need to keep the pregnancy a secret,is everyone not already aware of it?".
I shook my head "Not everyone,Hunter is not aware"
"And Jude" Alia quickly added "Hunter and Jude are not aware of my pregnancy".
I smirked "Ohh...I wouldn't say that".
She raised her brows "What do you mean?".
Just then Sue put a glass of wine on the table directly in front of Cary,Julia put one in front of me and Hunter gave one to Alia while Sia decided to make the toast "Let's all make a toast to a whole month of freedom and happiness".
We made our toast but just then Jude quickly removed Alia's glass of wine and replaced it with a glass of water "You know you are not supposes to be taking wine" he scolded.
Alia glared at me again,seriously! why am the only one she suspects for telling the others about her pregnancy "I did not tell him either" I mouthed to her and she nodded still looking unconvinced.
"Why can't she drink any wine, the last time I remember Alia loved wine" Hunter suddenly asked.
('Oh...oh....you all are in big trouble now') Sabastien suddenly stated.
"Well I noticed I take too much wine and am already getting addicted to it,I don't wanna have to end up going to the rehab center so I decided to put a stop to it for the meantime" Alia explained.
('What the f****,she just lied through her teeth like it was nothing'.)
**************************************************
NOTE:ANY SENTENCE THAT STARTS AND END WITH THIS '............', IS THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN AXEL AND HIS SPIRIT WOLF SABASTIEN AND ALSO SABASTIEN WORDS ARE IN BRACKETS.
**************************************************
Hunter shrugged "Okay then if you say so". I really hated lying to Hunter,he was my best friend and best friends don't keep things from each other.
('And yet you accused Selena of keeping things from you'),.
'I thought we have forgotten about that issue Sabastien, it's a been a month'.
('Whether it's been a month or a year I really don't care Axel,it's true what they always say that the correcter must always be the worst').
'Just shut up already Sabastien'.
'(Even if you shut me up it won't hide the truth,if Hunter finds out that you and Selena lied to him,his gonna be very mad and the last time he was mad at you,you almost killed yourself)'.
'That's enough now Sabas,you better not forget that am your master and you don't have the right to speak to me in that manner'
'(A master that is incapable of doing the right thing)'.
Cary suddenly took Sia's hands and rose her up "Come with me".
She dropped her glass on the table "And where are you taking me to?".
"Am tired of watching you waste your youthful life so I paid a male stripper just for you,if you decide you want him to go with you then I have already covered up the expenses so don't worry".
"Cary......
He stopped in his tracks and faced Sia again "But if you decide you wanna keep him then be ready to open your pocket lady" and they left.
Just then a female stripper came to sit beside Jude and started rubbing his shoulders lightly "Hello handsome".
I grinned "Looks like Cary also found a stripper for you Jude".
The stripper shook her head "No one paid me,I came here on my own accord".
Jude forced a smile and removed her hands from his shoulder "Look dear,am not really in that mood".
She suddenly kissed him,Jude struggled for a while but then he gave in and I saw Julia clench her fists and bit her lips. The stripper stopped kissing him and smiled widely "You were saying".
Jude held her hands and smirked "Wanna leave here and go somewhere else?"
"Sure". She got up and they left together.
I raised my brows confused "That's strange,I thought Jude just said he was not in the mood".
Sabastien chuckled '(yeah,but am sure that kiss turned his circuit)
SYDNEY'S POV............ It's been month,a whole month without Axel,he didn't even bother to check on me,the only people who remembered me in that house and bothered to check one were Julia,Alia and Queen Selena. No one else cared about me. "Sydney are you listening" my father suddenly asked. We were sitted in his study room and he was saying something I wasn't paying attention to. I snapped out of my thoughts and faced him "yes dad,you were saying....". "I said you know I won't live forever". I frowned " Don't say such nonsense father,you are still very agile". "Just listen to me......,when am gone,you will be the one in charge of the affairs in this community, you will be the one to rule the vampire kingdom because I don't have any other children but you can't rule this kingdom alone". "And what exactly do you mean by that?". "Our kingdom is not happy with the fact that after my death,a lady will be one to take over.
JULIA'S POV(yeah,it's really me)..........I couldn't stop thinking of the conversation we had with Sydney,maybe it would be better if she got married and start afresh with her life, besides she deserved someone who would love and care for her. Someone completely different from Axel, so asking Sydney to not get married and wait for Axel will only end up hurting her. We were all patiently awaiting the arrival of Jude,he hasn't come home since yesterday when he left with that stripper and I was starting to get very worried."Am home guys" Jude suddenly announced coming in with the same stripper of yesterday and he was even holding hands with her,what the hell!.Cary stood up scowling "What is the meaning of this nonsense bro,do you think it's funny?".Jude rose his brows confused "What in the world are you talking about?"."We were all sick and worried about you all through last night till this morning because you did not come home meanwhile we weren
SYDNEY'S POV........All day,I had been looking for a chance to discuss with Beck but he was either busy with this...or busy with that..... but today,luck decided to pay me a visit as Beck knocked on my door.I was glad that he finally decided to speak with me but angry that he made me wait for him so I frowned at him when I opened the door "Are you aware that I've been wanting to talk to you?".He raised his brows at me "So you are not even gonna greet me or say anything nice?" He walked into my house and sat on my couch "Look am sorry Sydney,but its just that I've been busy lately with the wedding preparations coming up and all so....what is it you wanted to discuss with me?".I said beside him and faced him "Don't you think it's a little too early to get married?".He knitted his brows "What do you mean,we have been dating for years haven't we".I nodded "Yes we have but......He suddenly stood up and stared at me "Are you in love
SYDNEY'S POV............CONTINUATION......."Am getting married".Hunter raised his brows "What do you mean by you are getting married?"."Well Hunter....am getting married to my long time boyfriend who I never broke up with before I got abducted and was announced as Axel's mate".Cary shook his head abruptly"You can't get married".I frowned "Why not......because you care so much about Axel?".Hunter sighed "We care about you too Sydney and you know that"."You care about me Hunter and you also treat me like your sister,I know that and for all that am genuinely grateful but...there will always be a big difference in the way you treat Axel and the way you treat me, and do you know why.....because Axel is your childhood best friend and am just one pest of a girl that came into your lives and took the space of your previous Luna"."Sydney............."Its fine Hunter,really....but do you think it's w
AXEL'S POV..........'(DON'T TELL ME A CRAZY BITCH IS IN THIS HOUSE,WHO IS CLEARLY YOUR ENEMY AND YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH IT)?'.'And what makes you think that am comfortable with it Sabastien?, am thinking of a way to get rid of her without hurting Jude in the process".Sabastien chuckled '(THINKING?....WE ARE BOTH AWARE OF THE FACT THAT YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF THINKING)'.I frowned 'Ha...Ha....Ha, very funny'.'(WELL IT IS, YOU ACT WITHOUT THINKING AXEL, IT'S NOT THAT YOU CAN'T THINK, YOU JUST FOOLISHLY CHOOSE NOT TO)'.'You know what Sabastien..... I think from now on, I'll ignore whatever you say to me'.'(YOU WOULDN'T DARE)'.'Yes I would, you have never said anything nice to me since the day I met you'.'(THAT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO MERIT IT, YOU ARE TOO STUPID FOR MY LIKING)'.'There you go again Sabastien'.'(LOOK AXEL, I DON'T FIND PLEASURE IN RAINING ABUSES ON YOU, I
CONTINUATION......Axel's Pov..................I kept my cool and gritted my teeth "Why them?".She grinned "Well to be sincere, I thought about experimenting it with all of you but then I thought........if I did, then how would you and Hunter suffer so much, so I made my choice. I picked Sia and Alia because I can't risk having healers here, I also choosed the moon goddess and Cary because they are both big threats to me.....but Julia was getting on my nerves so I decided to teach her a lesson"."Why are you doing this to us,we don't even know you".She cocked her head and chuckled at Hunter's words "You're right when you say you don't know me but you see....I know you very well infact,am on a mission to destroy your life Hunter".Sia raised her brows "Mission?...that means you have a boss,who is he?".Circe grinned "Ohh but you know him or don't you Hunter,....'no matter how much he tries,a chick can never run away from the eyes of
Sydney's pov..........I kept having this strange premonition that something terrible was happening back in Axel's home. But if something was really wrong,then Hunter would have definitely told me when he last visited...... Maybe I was just overthinking things or I was just missing them. Just then,I heard a knock on my door and I rushed to open it."Hunter....." But my smile faded when I realized that it wasn't Hunter at the door.A very familiar figure stood in front of me and frowned at me "Why does it seem like you are not happy to see us?"."Seems like she was not expecting us but someone else" The male added coming in view from behind the feminine figure.I grabbed the both of my wonderful twin cousins Kia and Kiera on their neck for a big hug "Don't be so silly the both of you....am overjoyed to see you".Kai raised his brows uncertain "Well then....I guess we were wrong" And they fully entered the house.Now for a formal introd
Continuation.........Sydney's pov.......Hunter scrubbed his face with his palm "That's the problem,we can't kill her because she has Jude on some kind of spell that she call the Bond kiss".My eyes widened "Wait! did you just say the Bond Kiss".Hunter nodded "Yes do you happen to know anything that can help in breaking the spell".I bowed my head and shook my head "No I don't".Kiera grinned " I happen to know how to break a bond kiss".I beamed happily "Really...how".She raised her head in a proud manner "Well.....You have to kill the person who cast the spell".I slapped my forehead with my palm "Were you even listening...Circe can't be killed,if we kill her then Jude will die too"."That's not what I meant dummy,we will kill her but first we have to suspend the bond".Sia shook her head "You are speaking glibberish girl".She groaned "You guys don't understand anything do you......we need a Ji
Axel's pov........ I was happy, like this was the happiest I've ever been. For the first time in my life, I finally felt complete.('YOU WOULD HAVE FELT THIS WAY A LONG TIME AGO IF YOU HAD JUST LISTENED TO ME').'You're right and am sorry about it buddy. You are the best spirit wolf an Alpha Lord could ever ask for Sabastien and that's a fact, am one lucky Alpha to have you in my life, thanks for all you do' And there was complete silence 'Sabastien?'.A Sniff ('I WASN'T EXPECTING SUCH OUTBURST FROM YOU AXEL').Wait! Was Sabastien crying.('NO IDIOT! I NEVER CRY') Ohh Yeah, he was crying alright.I smirked 'You really love me don't you buddy?'.('DON'T BET ON IT'). I stared at Sydney as she walked forward ready to give a speech, all attention on her, she was oozing the authorities of a true Luna.She cleared her throat "Excuse me everyone, I have something to say, I know we have gone through a lot but the storm is over for now. Am not saying we are going to be living a peaceful life
Sydney's pov............"So you guys are a thing now?" Sue asked and my cheeks flushed red "Yeah"."And it's going to last this time around right?"."SUE?" Sia scolded and Sue shrugged "Just asking, their relationship has been off and on for a while now so i think it's about time they settled down for real".Julia nodded "Yeah we all think the same, but I think it's permanent this time around, Axel did confess to her".I cocked my head at her "And how do you know this?" And she shrugged, sipped from her tea "Just a hunch" It was not a hunch alright and I knew it."Make up sex really is the best right Sydney" and I choked on my spit. I was right, she really was eavesdropping. "Yeah but it's more steamy and passionate when no one is secretly eavesdropping on you".She shook her head "I have no idea what you are talking about".Sue smirked "Ohh but yours was steamy enough alright, your cry of passion is prove enough"."SUE" Sia scolded her again and she frowned "What? you know her room
Axel's pov......... I slumped on the floor immediately I entered my room, my head in my laps.('I TOLD YOU SILVAR WAS UP TO NO GOOD').'Please Sabastien, not right now, am not in the mood'.('OHH COME ON AXEL, CHEER UP').'Cheer up? Do you not understand what just happened?'('OF COURSE I DO AND I KNOW SILVAR'S BETRAYAL LEFT YOU SHATTERED. I KNEW SHE WAS UP TO NO GOOD BUT I NEVER KNEW SHE WAS THIS EVIL, I MEAN I WAS SHOCKED WITH HER CONFESSION AND THAT'S AN EMOTION I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED').'Good for you'. I couldn't believe the woman I loved for so many years was a traitor, I couldn't believe that the person I waged a war for on a whole nation was sitting in the background eating some popcorn and enjoying the show. I had accused the Vampires for murdering a person who was very well alive, someone who had faked her own death. I maltreated the daughter of the Vampire King as payback for killing Silvar, I deprived her of a good life all because I wanted to quench the burning rage in
Sydney's pov.......... My eyes traced Axel as he walked upstairs."You go after him" Kai said walking up me."What?".Then his expression softened "Am really sorry Sydney, for ever doubting you" and I broke down in tears as I hugged him "Am the one who should be apologising for the nasty things I said to you and Kiera".Kiera walked up to us "It's fine, you had a very good reason for saying such things but you still should have told us, we would have helped".I shook my head "I didn't tell you because I did not want to bother the both of you".Julia stood up from where she was consoling Jude and starting heading my way. When she got to where I stood, she attempted to kneel but I stopped her "Don't Julia, you're pregnant".She sniffed as her face turned red "Where do I start from Sydney?".I shook my head "You don't have to say anything, I was the one who acted selfish and took advantage of the fact that you always supported me irrespective of my shortcomings"."That's the problem, I
Sydney's pov............. I knew Silvar was the traitor but I didn't expect the story would be this deep, if I was feeling this way then I couldn't imagine how Axel felt, he must be shattered knowing that the woman he fought for all his life was nothing more than a traitor, that everything that happened was all her doing.She stood up and sniffed "But you know what, it's fine, I forgive all of you, let's let sleeping dogs lie so we can go back to the way we were before, one big family" Then she put her hands on her chin "But that can only work if Sydney is out of the picture so you know what, I would do the pleasure of getting rid of her" and she started walking towards me."STOP!" Hunter suddenly commanded and she froze in her spot.He walked up to her "I think we have heard enough from you Silvar and know it's about time you hear from us".She glared at him "Release me and I'll let you off the hook Hunter"."She needs to punished for her crimes" Cary butted in.Sia nodded "She need
Axel's pov........... I don't think I could take any more of this confession, I was gradually falling apart with every second that passed.('I SUSPECTED SILVAR WAS BAD BUT I DIDN'T THINK HER OFFENSE WOULD BE THIS GRAVE, I'LL HAVE TO ADMIT, AM SHOCKED').She picked a vase and stared at it "I faked my own death to see Sydney punished for the crimes her father committed but then Axel had to go fall in love with her. I got pissed okay, I mean why wouldn't I, How was my revenge going to work out now? How was I going to make Sydney pay for her father crimes? So I decide to start operating from the background" She sighed "I succeeded in making Axel murder Sydney's father but still she didn't despise him, I then decided it was high time I came back to the house and put a end to everything".('THIS GIRL IS THE REAL DEFINITION OF EVIL')."I should have suspected something was off the minute Sydney left the house on her own" Then she glared at Hunter "I should have known someone was behind it"
Axel's pov.............SILVAR WAS THE TRAITOR? Was I dreaming or what.('THIS IS REAL LIFE AXEL SO YOU HAD BETTER FACE IT').Jude stumbled forward, failing to hide the shock on his face "What are you saying sister?".Silvar smiled at him "Ohh my dear sweet Jude, this sister of yours is the mastermind of everything that has happened in this park".Sue frowned "What do you mean by 'everything'?"."Do I really have to spell it out for you" She put her hands on her chin "Okay then but where do I start from, you remember Circe right? well she was my puppet and Draken.........." She said facing Hunter "They both answered to me, they were simply doing what I asked them to".Sia put her hands over her mouth in shock "That means you....you....She faced Sia and clicked her tongue "Mark was just a sample to show you all what we were capable of, more like a scapegoat". Rex placed Sia's head on his shoulder as she wept "You are a monster?".She bowed "Well thank you for the nice compliment".Hun
Axel's pov..................... Hunter had called everyone to the main room and I knew why, it must be to expose the traitor.('FINALLY, I WAS STARTING TO HAVE CRAMPS FROM WAITING TOO LONG').'Is the great 'Sabastien' actually nervous?'.('NEVER, I JUST SAID THAT IT WAS CRAMPS') Yeah right! Like I didn't know better.('NO, YOU DON'T').I walked downstairs to meet the others already waiting, I sat down on my couch, crossing my arms "Yes?".Hunter walked forward holding hands with Sydney and I felt a sting.('IS THAT JEALOUSY I SMELL').I shook my head 'I could'nt care any less'.('YEAH, YEAH, WHATEVER YOU SAY...............AXEL').He helped Sydney sit like she was some kind of person that needed to be pampered.('YOU BET SHE IS').Then he cleared his throat "I know you are all wondering why I called you here".Julia frowned "Duhh!! of course we are so you had better not waste our time".Jude shook her head "Please don't mind her attitude"."Yeah don't mind me, it's pregnancy hormones,
Axel's pov.............. I couldn't get yesterday's discussion with Hunter out of my head, he promised that he was going to expose the traitor today but I couldn't wait, more like I was confused and torn on who the traitor could be.'Sabastien, are you there'.('HUH?').'You know, you could help me out here right'.('I THOUGHT YOU SAID I SHOULDN'T BUTT IN').'You know I didn't mean that, I was annoyed at that moment'.No Response.......I rolled my eyes 'Okay, am sorry... Satisfied?'.('YES SO WHY DON'T WE GO OVER ALL THE MEMBERS OF YOUR PARK AND SEE WHO IS LIKELY TO BETRAY YOU').That was a nice idea, i might even find the traitor before Hunter exposed him/her 'Okay, but how are we sure that the traitor is a person?'.('CAUSE WHEN YOU ASKED IF THE PERSON WAS STILL IN THE MANSION, HUNTER ANSWERED YES CONFIRMING THAT THE TRAITOR WAS A PERSON, ONE PERSON, DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW').'Yeah, good point'.('OKAY AND.........DRUMS ROLL............OUR FIRST CONTESTANT IS SILVAR').I frowned
