THIRD-PERSON POVRhett was the first to rush to Laura, he placed her head on his lap and gasped at her bleeding arm. Thankfully, Ricky did not shoot her in the chest.“Don't worry, you're going to be fine” he said, and she nodded, in a lot of pain. Ricky just stood there in awe, regretting what he did. He wasn't able to move, he hated himself for hurting her, the one person whom he found solace in.“Look what you did, all because of your useless feud” Andy whispered to him, increasing the guilt he was already feeling.“I've called the ambulance. Don't worry Laura, you'll be fine” Andy said, walking over to Rhett's side. Rhett glared at him.“Don't pretend like you care. You and your boss are in this together… So get away from us!” Rhett growled at him and Andy sighed.The ambulance came soon and Laura was rushed to the hospital, again! She was admitted, and the doctors began surgery to get out the bullet and save her life.Everyone was at the hospital, and they were all worried about
PAULINA'S POV“Laura” Paulina called, sitting by the bed with tears in her eyes.“I'm so sorry… It was my fault, I didn't take care of you the way I was supposed to. I didn't give you the right medication… You wouldn't have fallen pregnant” Paulina complained, pained that such a young girl would soon become a mother.“Ma, please stop” Laura sighed, clutching the old woman's hand to her stomach.Laura winced a little, adjusting her bandaged arm to a more comfortable position.“Don't blame yourself for anything. It was Ricky that put me in a family way” Laura sniffed back her tears.“Besides, it's over a month now” she added, Paulina's eyes widened in shock at the statement.“Wait, you knew about it before now?” She asked.“Yes, the day I was rushed to the hospital after collapsing on Ricky's bed. I told the doctor not to tell anyone about it. I was scared and sad. I decided to keep it to myself until I decide whether to get rid of it or not” Laura explained as tears raced down her chee
RICKY'S POV “Abort the baby?” Ricky stood by the window, trying to make sense of the situation. He never imagined in his life that he would become a father at this stage of his life. The thought of having a baby with Laura gave him mixed feelings. He didn't know whether to be happy or angry about it. What if the baby belongs to Rhett? Both of them are in a relationship, aren't they?He groaned at the thought of Rhett taking Laura away from him. He had to clarify things. He had to know if the baby belonged to him or to Rhett. Perhaps a DNA test?Ricky made up his mind to leave for the hospital the following morning before Laura aborts the baby. ******Ricky entered the lobby and had a talk with the nurse, who directed him to Laura's ward. On getting there, he was shocked to see Rhett there already, holding Laura's hand. He wanted to go in there and punch his teeth out, but he decided to control his anger and listen to their conversation instead.“I have to go back to Europe now. I
MELO'S POV“Tell me it's a dream Qwen" Melo cried, leaning on her best friend. “Unfortunately, it's not” Qwen replied.“The same fate has befallen us” she added and Melo sniffed.All these years of waiting for Ricky to finally make her his Luna, all these years of dedicating her life, her heart, and her body to him… He chose a slave over her.She was heartbroken, bitter, and resentful. She would never forgive Ricky or that slave for humiliating her in the way that they did. Drying her tears, she looked up at Qwen.“I will not fold my arms and let everything I have worked hard for just disappear into thin air like this” she stated, filled with rage and envy.“What do you want to do? You can't go against Ricky” Qwen said.“You can decide to sit back and watch your man marry some slut, but I won't do that. Ricky is not allowed to be with another woman as his Luna” Melo sounded sinister. She got up and strode to the mirror. She wiped off the tears in her eyes and grinned at her reflecti
LAURA'S POV “You look so ridiculous” Laura said as she continued to laugh at Ricky. Coffee was all over the place, and the coffee mug rested on Ricky's head. He felt embarrassed, he got up and dropped the mug on his desk.“This is so sticky” he said, using his fingers to sweep the dripping coffee off his forehead and flinging it away. He looked at Laura, who was still laughing and smiled. She looked beautiful, it was the first time he ever saw her laugh like that.“You can stop laughing now” he said, and she struggled to seize her laughter. Their eyes met and she blushed.“You should take a bath and wash all that off” she said, walking to the closet. She pulled out a bucket and a mop. She entered the bathroom, filled the bucket with water, and came out to mop up the coffee.“Thanks for helping me clean. I'll take a shower quickly” Ricky said and entered the bathroom. Laura stared at him until he disappeared into the bathroom. She wondered what had come over Ricky all of a sudden.He
RICKY'S POV“What strange man?” Ricky asked with a raised eyebrow, and Melo panicked. She was scared and angry at Gova for opening her mouth after she had sternly warned her to keep it shut.“I saw her two weeks ago, after you proposed to her. She went to meet a man at your old warehouse near the mall. She gave the man money to keep her secret, and she also slept with him” Gova revealed, giving everyone present a big shock.Ricky turned to Melo and glared at her.First, what secret was she hiding from him?Secondly, he couldn't believe he almost got married to a woman who sleeps around.“Gova, do you mind explaining yourself?” Ricky asked, trying to remain calm in the situation. Nobody said anything, they were waiting for Melo to explain herself.“Ricky, how could you even believe this Omega? She's just delusional because she's worried about her friend” Melo sounded scared, it was visible in her voice. She blinked at Qwen in a bid to ask for backup, but Qwen didn't want to get involve
THIRD-PERSON POV “What are you talking about?” Melo blinked at Ricky, who smirked at her. With his hands behind him, he walked over to her, and stood directly over her, peering into her soul, through her eyes. She felt her heart sink into the stomach as she struggled to keep eye contact with him.“You know exactly what I'm talking about” Ricky said in a husky voice. Everyone was surprised and couldn't wait to find out what was happening.“Ricky, what is all this embarrassment for? Why are you doing this? First you call off our marking ceremony, now you're belittling me in front of everyone!” Melo screamed, trying to act like she didn't know what Ricky was talking about.Ricky chuckled and passed his fingers through his hair.“So… Do you want to stand here and lie to my face? I hope you haven't forgotten who I am and what I can do to you” he paused and lowered his head to her face, making sure she felt his breath on her.“I won't hesitate to have my gammas strip you and torture you un
THIRD-PERSON POV “She's lost a lot of blood, I'm not sure if she will survive. But let's keep hoping” the doctor said and shook his head. Ricky nodded and huffed.He had to rush her to the hospital when he saw that she was still breathing. He went with Andy and Buster. Qwen was petrified at the news and cried bitterly. Ricky had to force her to stay at home after she had insisted on coming to the hospital with them.A few minutes later, the doctor came out and informed Ricky that Melo wanted to see him. He followed her immediately to Melo's ward.She wasn't in a good condition at all. With an oxygen mask over her nose and the monitor reading her heartbeat, it wasn't stable at all. The doctor left to give them some privacy.“Melo” he called, standing over her bed. She smiled weakly and reached out for his hand, with her shivering hand. Ricky took her hand and gave it a little squeeze.“Thank you” she whispered, taking a deep breath.“No, save your breath” he uttered, and she blinked w
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
