RHETT’S POV“Those people stole our show.” I muttered in my breath, not minding that a servant was with us. He was leading us to a room in the fort, where we would stay throughout the ceremony.“They didn’t, we can’t just barge into the hall and start talking about marriage.” Gova said. She had always been the opposite of me in everything.She likes what I hate, and often hates what I like, but we were good that way because I was taking advantage of that trait of hers.The servant stopped before a plush metal door and swiped his card on the pass card device attached to the door, opening the door at that instant, and leading us into the room.“No one noticed us, just because a crazy Beta of the so-called Lycan king was cerebrating his mistress’ pregnancy. Is that not madness?” I headed straight to the massive bed in the room and sat on it, leaving Gova to the servant who had led us in.“That was your little sister.” Gova mumbled.I looked around the room as though I had never been to i
LAURA'S POV“Laura, I’ve always known you as gorgeous, but in this gown of yours, you look perfect in beauty.” Gova was standing behind me. She had offered to help me fit into the gown I chose for my marking ceremony.“Really?” I smiled and faced the mirror. My brown eyes, as I could see in the mirror, was as bright as an emerald under the bright light of the sun, and my red hair was quite alluring.“You know what, maybe we should fix a rose to your red hair, it would add to your unfading beauty.” She came closer and touched my hair. It was smooth, so her hands had no trouble threading down its long tail.It’s my day, and the world had gathered outside the fort to cerebrate me, but they were still being entertained by poets and the most lily melodies from the best psalmist of Rainbow Crest pack.“Get a fresh rose, let’s fix it to her hair and gird it tight with a hair pin.” Gova said, turning to the maids in the room.One of the Omega's bowed her head and went off to pluck a rose fro
RICKY'S POV“Have your suit, My lord.” Andy said, handing my suit to me from behind.I had been thoughtfully staring out of the window since day break, knowing fully well that it was the day the world hoped for, the day I, too, had been dreaming of, but that was until I saw the video clip.“Thank you, Andy.” I said and took the suit from him. He knew better than any other person in the pack that I liked wearing my suit by myself. I don’t like being helped with that.“How is your pregnant lady, Cassy?” I asked, hoping a word with him would ease me of the self-guilt and the panic the video clip had caused me.He smiled the way every responsible person does. Had he been a rogue, he would have denied the pregnancy and caused pain and gossip.“She’s fine. I checked on her this morning, and found her busy in the kitchen, as usual.” He said, his smiling unfading.“She still cares to stress herself in the kitchen.” I raised my eyebrows. I guess he had time to smile and sound happy because he
ANDY’S POV“Hey, Matie.” I said, gripping the plump shoulders of the fat merchant, sitting round a large table in the hall with other father merchants in the hall.He turned to me, and his fat face broke into a smile.“Andrew, come join us.” He said, excitedly.“Can we talk over there?” I said, pointing at the empty space near the hall’s staircase.He paused and stared thoughtfully at me. He was the merchant who imported Swedish champagne, and asked me to help him get the pretty drink to the Lycan king, hoping he would secure a contract to supply his goods for the marking ceremony.“O…okay.” He said, and rolled off the bench on which he sat. “Let’s go.”I led the way and the fat merchant followed me slowly, until we got to the empty space where we could talk without being distracted.“Andy, I was hoping to tell you that your clothes are nice. You look as noble as the Lycan king himself.” The merchant, Matie, held the pillars of the staircase and gently rested his large back on it.“Th
LAURA’S POV“She would be fine in the next one hour.” Paulina said, touching Gova’s neck. She’d given her the best of her antidotes and herbal mixtures, bringing her fever to an end, and soothing her to sleep.“Thank you, Paulina.” I said, glad that my friend had been healed by the pack’s healer, Paulina.“So?” Paulina turned to the Omega. “Where did you pluck this rose from?”The Omega stared thoughtfully at the poisoned rose on the floor, then she spoke up. “I was not the one who plucked the rose. It was given to me by a lady in red, who was waiting in the garden, downstairs.” Said the Omega. That was exactly the same thing she said when I asked her the same question.“Describe the so-called lady in red.” Paulina was not having the senseless words of the maid.“I didn’t have time to take a look at her. She left almost immediately, she gave me the flower.” The omega squirted, Her voice sounding like that of a bloody liar, infuriating Paulina on the spot.“Leave this room, now!” Paul
KILLIAN MARTAll the while I lived behind shadows, I had always heard one thing about my twin brother, Ricky, he was a heartless git, and he didn’t give a damn about the bad he did to his victims.I stood right before the stage, looking up to the council, and the orator who was staring agape at me, but the pretty lady on the stage caught me off guard with her beauty.Who was she, for heaven’s sake?Her beauty was raw, poetic, unfading.“Killian Mart,” said the orator.His voice was stable and loud, but I sensed he was only being loud with his words to make mockery of me if I dared flinch a bit.“How do we believe you are the twin brother of the Lycan king?” he raised his eyebrows, but he wasn’t done with his loud query.“We all know that rumor had it that the Lycan king’s twin brother was not just missing, but deceased.” He came close enough to have his eyes staring into my blue eyes from the stage.“How do you want us to believe your claim?” he yanked up his shoulders.“I mean, you c
LAURAMy legs had long melted under my knees, and I had been lying helplessly on the stage, even after he emerged to claim the Lycan throne.He was brave and his claims were steady, unshaken, but that was not in my thoughts.My heart was full of hate.Pain and disgust clustered all over my face, and I did not bother swallowing the tensed bitterness that had welled up my throat after it was announced that Rickie had rejected me through the blood letter he kept in his room.My world was messed up.My dream was ruined, and my hope had melted away without looking back at me.I was dismayed, shattered, helpless.Shame had taken over me, burying my pride and tossing me back to what I had always been; a common lowlife that merely got lucky.Now even my luck has failed me, but his eyes rested lustfully on my body, even while he ascended the stage.I saw the orator cross his arm across his shoulder and whisper words into his ears, but he yanked off the orator’s arm and emerged before the counc
LUCIOI had been smiling over the first act of the play I engineered on the stage, the brutal rejection of my niece, Laura, but I never expected a different act.This different act was a game changer; a blockbuster at it, and it couldn’t have mattered a bit to me, it not that it ruined the best of my plans.Where did he come from? And why on earth would he choose a niece I had sworn to ruin forever?I narrowed my eyes and took a careful look at him as he was being marked the Lycan king on the stage.I was clad in my usual coat and hat, so I was sure no one, not even those on the stage, could see my face, while my eyes were narrowed against the young lad.“Killian?”I scuffed, and my eyes widened naturally as I remembered him.“What?”I had this feeling that I knew him from somewhere when I saw him emerge from the crowed to interrupt the show, I had set up for the entire rainbow crest.I frowned with disgust.I’ve always known him, and we’ve had odd deals together, but never had I know
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
