LUCIO I had always known my way in and out of anywhere I desired in the pack, more especially the palace.No one knows me there, and no one can tell if a new face enters the palace unless the intruder dares his stars by going deeper than is necessary.I had agreed with Aden the other time that we would meet once a week to discuss our progress when I successfully planted him in the Luna’s chamber as my agent, for the sole purpose of using him against his mistress.I chose a seat in the palace canteen and waited patiently for him to show without waiting for me to send him text or call him on phone to do as we discussed.Clad in my usual gloomy attire, I am sure that only Aden could tell whom I am when he enters the canteen.The rest would see me as a regular old man who had come to ask for free food.I did not place an order, though I knew that food in the palace canteen is free for old people, supposedly like me.I didn’t come to benefit from a system that was put in place by an enemy
QWEN“What do you think about a fifteen minutes pasta and grilled steak?” My thin driver was busy with the driving as usual, while I was busy with the talking at the passenger’s seat where I had nestled behind him.“Yummy with a touch of broccoli.” He said with his hands busy with the steering wheel.The thing man has a knack for good food, but though I had always made sure he fed well, he had never wished to relinquish his thing body for something good.“Broccoli? Don’t make me throw up, you.” I said and snapped a finger to indicate disgust.Well, pasta with broccoli like he said wasn’t a disgusting combo, but trust me, I must confess that I’m not in good terms with such combo.“But I don’t mind taking it that way if you cook it that way, ma’am.”I saw his smile, it was a weak wry smile, more like a silly giggle from a malnourished high school kid.“Did you just said you don’t mind doing what?” I posed with a wink.He scuffed as though he was choked by a stuff in his thin throat.I
QWEN“Kiss?”I raised my eyebrows as my mind wandered in thoughts of when exactly I made such promise that I was not able to remember.We, most of my words to him were triggered by joy or lust for another man, but he seemed to have taken the promise to heart and was thus wishing I hurry up with the mission in the palace and return home to kiss him.Hmm!Maybe he is yet to understand how disgusting it would be for me to have him kiss my lips with his thin mouth.Damn! He is just crazy, and probably dreaming.I might have promised to kiss him, but that doesn’t mean I would definitely kiss him. I had been flattering for years, and I see nothing bad in flattering with him the way I do to others.I relaxed on my seat, ignoring the fact that we had reached our destination and what’s expected of me was alighting from the car and setting into the food store to pick the stuffs I need for a delicious pasta for the damn Luna.I thought of rebuking him with words, but I remembered how important t
QWEN “Hello, Cassey.”She was the first person I met after I was dropped in the palace by my thin driver, and seeing her meant nothing but a quick change of plan.I had initially planned to cook the pastas myself and invite the queen to the upper room, where the nobles dine, and have her feel the power of good meal, but seeing Cassey meant a collaboration.“Qwen.”Her smile seemed to be a feature stuck on her face, such that she could not keep it off her face even if she wanted to.I gave her the same kind of broad smile she offered, and came closer to her with the basket of foodstuffs.I had intentionally gone for a basket, rather than a paper of plastic back, because I wanted everyone around to see me, and know for sure that I intend to host the new wave of ex low lives who luckily got inducted among the nobles.“How are you, Cassey?” I wasn’t sure that was the right question to ask, but all I wanted was to spark up a conversation, and get her into the Indian pasta talk like my dr
QWEN“Here we go, Qwen.”Cassey, I guess was better in the kitchen than I ever was.Making pasta as though I was up with the game of satisfying the craving of my thin, abnormal driver was the wrong way of making pasta.She was innovative enough to make a combo that could be talked of when the dinner kicks off, while I assisted her with my proud ‘the kitchen is mine’ helping hands that she nearly rendered useless by doing nearly everything alone.She got stuffs that would make the pasta delicious enough to be tagged Indian, though we both know that not everything that is Asian is Indian, because Indians are quite unique from there Asian counterparts.She got periwinkles and some sea stuffs, and some weird vegies that were all cooked and placed in different plates, making us a pretty combo of meals in different plates, while the pasta was left white and unseasoned in a big bowl.“Maybe we should take shots of what we made.” I was rather too excited to have the first good thing I ever ma
QWENThe first guests for the night were Cassey and her man, Andy.They're with two bottles of Sula, and Indian wine brand.Maybe Andy made it two because both I and Cassey asked for a bottle of Indian wine, and he must have done that without telling her that I met him and I asked for one, maybe because he thought I don’t know Cassey was his woman.“Hey, Qwen.” The bloody chummy smiling daft thing wanted a hug, and I was choiceless. I had to grant her a warm hug, and even a peck, because it really mattered just tonight.“Cassey, you are here.”I took time to admire her dinner gown after the hug.Maybe she sought the advice of a fashionist who must have chosen the pretty red gown she was cladded in.It was such a wonderful dress turned by a body that does not deserve it, but I blame myself for telling her to look her best to my night’s dinner and show.Well, her gown was good, but mine was awesome.I had chosen a red combo though, but I just said combo because it was braced with preci
QWEN“And with the Luna in our midst, I believe the dinner should commence.”I knew there was no need making such announcement as I just made, because we are living creatures and we knew what the living does when the living sees food, but I had to make myself as crazy as was necessary to make them drop their little manners and be free with the table.“We are not complete.” Cassey said as soon as my words left my lips.She seemed to have been waiting patiently for me to make my little announcement before speaking her mind.My eyebrows went up.All I wanted was a table with Andy, Cassey, and Laura. I had no plan of accommodating any other person in my table.“And who do you have next?” Laura posed as though she was dying to open the plates and pounce on what it bore in its space.“I invited my brother. You know he likes gatherings like this.” The chubby thing had a smile that caused me irritation, because that was the most unnecessary smile I ever saw in my life.Why would she invite R
QWEN“Something deferent?” I could tell Rhett so much wanted to control the dinner with his words. And, I had known from my teenage days that men get noisy and desire so much charge when they have their crush sitting around them.So, who exactly is the big boys crush?I shot Laura a glance and saw her nervous hands. She was cutting and pulling her meal to her lips in silence though, but her hands gave ger panic away to me.What exactly does she have with Rhett?Ladies tend to behave the way she was behaving at the moment when they come in contact with a man that made out with them and left them in bed for no just reason, dumping them and leaving them no other choice but to curse and hate him.No wonder, Aden tried stopping him, and Laura had to ditch out an order for him to let Rhett pass, maybe because she was the one who asked Aden to keep Rhett away from her.“Yeah, Indian pasta, instead of the regular French pastas we’ve always had.” Cassey seemed to be so interested in her broth
Laura watched all her enemies being put in their place, it was a long journey she had to fight and seated at the large balcony with a good view of the entire pack, she could not help but reminisce on how it all started. First she had to go through pains in the hands of Uncle Lucio after the brutal death of her parents which fate played an ill luck on her. Going to college was not an easy one but Laura thought that all this was finally going to be over when she found out that the Mighty Lycan king feared by everyone was her mate. But just when everything was about falling into place at the marking ceremony, he rejected her before everyone and left her there alone as he fled the pack, Laura felt her heart shattered into tiny pieces that moment, all hope was lost, she loved this man to the moon and back, she thought that this was the moon goddess way of compensating her for all the pain that she had to go through and yet it was just another series of pain. Some glared at her with mock
LAURA Once the doctor left my chamber, I summoned for Elliot who came at once. “My Luna, you sent for me?”“Yes Elliot, were you able to find Gwen?”“Yes we did just as she was trying to escape from the pack through an unknown dungeon, she is now in the cell but there is something else that I think you should know”He spoke and I immediately sat upright, my eyes filled with curiosity. “What happened, is the king alright?”“Yes Luna, he is fine, it is about your maid servant Rosette who is pregnant”“I asked that she remain locked up in her room but have access to everything that her baby might need which included foods and good medication, I am sorry Elliot but I can only release her when I am certain that she won't cause problem for us, did she do anything wrong?”“She was served her meal early this morning and with the cutlery, she committed suicide!”“What!! Why would she kill herself, was she that desperate for power?”“I am sorry Luna, but it is not your fault, you did everythin
LAURAI sat there with all the strains of my bones so weak while I watched Ricky exhaust the last energy in him, he had been tortured by Killian when he first arrived at the riverside and I knew that it was only a matter of time before he finally exhausted his energy. Killian seeing that the rogues were all down and Ricky was contending with the last opponent, immediately rushed over to my side. “Hello Laura, I guess this is where we finally say our goodbye, it was beautiful having you as my Luna and having to relish your body at all times, but this is where it all ends”His words came as a whisper as he tried not to be heard by Ricky, he stretch forth his hand to grab my neck but I bite his hand so hard with the last strain of energy I had in me. “Ahhh!!! You witch!! ” He slam me hard on the face as I fell down, blood dripping from my mouth due to how weak I was, but as he lift his hand to hit me again, Ricky arrives just in time and with one kick, Killian fell off the ground but
RICKY Slowly they came down the hills and was only a few miles away from where I stood with my claws lightly piercing at Killian. My eyes drifted down to her thighs and my Lycan was filled with rage that it was so difficult to control him. Laura's thighs were covered in bruises, it was no doubt that she had been tortured beyond the way anyone could endure. “Why did you had to torture her to this extent, was it necessary, your feud was with me, Laura had no involvement in it”“That is so low even from you, you kept having sex with her knowing that she was my wife, mine and not yours because she stopped being yours the moment you left her so she is involve in every rage that I feel, every pain that I feel is because of the both of you so I am going to keep torturing her until there is nothing left of her”“You were the reason why I had to leave the woman that I love and yet you went ahead to take her as your Luna just so you can spite me, that is how low you can stoop Killian, so for
RICKYAfter waiting for a while and listening to Killian taunting me, there still wasn't sign of Laura, she was the reason I came and I had to act as soon as possible. For Killian, he was Certain that those chains could hold me captive for as long as he wanted, but I was the Lycan and wouldn't remain under his captive. I shifted to my Lycan form and stride towards him, the fear filled his eyes and despite how strong he use to be, the fear could not let him react. The more I came forward, the more he was drifting backward, trying to get away, but my mighty arm clasped onto his neck, I held on him tightly as he gasp unable to breath properly. “You are not going to kill me, you do not have the balls” A disdainful smile filled his expression admit the pain he was feeling from my grip. “I see… Then let's give a try and see if I am going to murder you this time around or not!” My deep voice echoed through the woods like a ranging torrent, my griped on him became more fierce and the fear
KILLIANWe arrived at the river side and spent the night there in the car, but the next day, we were woken by the sound of movement around the woods, slowly I unfurl my eyes to the sight of Ricky walking over to the river side. Although he was still afar, but no doubt it was him. “Gwen! Ricky is here, go and scan around the environment” I called onto her and she immediately stepped out of the car and hurried into the woods. “Looks like he still got some regards for you after all, here I was thinking that he has bailed on you” I teased but as she drifted her eyes over to the woods, a deep frown spread across her face. “Now I am going to enjoy you watch how I end his life, he survived my attack the first time and the toxic, do you think that he is going to be able to survive this time around, I am sorry but the moon goddess won't be on his side this time around”“Killian please, you have me, just go ahead and murder me or do whatever you want, torture me as long as you want, I am rea
LAURA Gwen and Melo was such close friends when Melo was alive, they dreamt so much of the day Melo will becomes the Luna, but I came into the picture and took that dream away her. “Although I know it doesn't count or matter to you right now, but I just thought that I should say it, I am sorry Gwen that my feelings for Ricky had to interfere with everything you girls had planned out for life, but he was my mate, there was so much bound between us and there was nothing that I could do, even if I were to start again, I would fall in love with Ricky again and again and never regret a moment of if”“Doesn't it hurt you that he killed your parents, they were innocent and yet he murdered them in cold blood”“At first I was angry, but after thinking about it for a while, I realize that although he might be the all powerful Lycan king that was feared by everyone within Zion pack, but he was still permitted to make mistakes, he isn't perfect but his love for me is something that I can't den
RICKY I could barely close my eyes for the rest of the night, my eyes filled with worry while I waited for the guards to come back hoping for some positive news, but there was nothing from him the entire night and everywhere felt cold and shallow without Laura by my side. At dawn, I was woken by the servants knocking on the door, they stepped in once I opened the door for them, a new collection of outfit set out for me on the bed. “My king, please pick an outfit of your choice from all of this!”“Are the guards that left the palace yesterday back?” I inquired with my gaze fixed at the window, I had no intention whatsoever in whatever outfit that was set before me, all that mattered to me was Laura. “No Sire, there hasn't been a word from them” The servant girl replied with her head lowered as she did not dare look up while I was speaking. “Leave the clothes on the bed, you all can leave now” Just as they scurried out of the room, another knock came through as Eliot rushed in. “H
RICKYAfter the argument that I had with Laura, I waited for a while but there was no sign of her so I thought that it was only right to give her some space. Until it was time for dinner and I was summoned by the servants that dinner was ready, I scurried to the dining table hop to sort this out with Laura, but she was there. “Where is the Luna?” I asked the servants that stood there with my eyes scanning around. “She is not here my King! ”“What do you imply by she is not here, have you informed her that dinner has been served?”“We tried, but she is not in her room, we haven't seen since earlier today when she left the palace”“What!! ” I felt every strain my hair stand, my heart skipped with fear that this was more than just Laura finding space away from me. “She hasn't returned since she left earlier today and why wasn't I informed of it?”“I am sorry My King, we thought that you were aware when she left and considering that she is the Luna, we can't restrict her movement”“Sen
