THIRD POV The two girls stood there, trembling and scared with no idea how to get out of the dark room. They felt around to see if they would find the door, but Laura stopped when she heard Gova scream."Gova!!" She yelled out, fear overwhelming her. Gova's screams faded until Laura couldn't hear her anymore. She only heard footsteps, in the distance."Rhett is that you?""Ricky?" She called into the darkness but nobody answered her. She was still there for several minutes, tears rolling down her cheeks.Laura felt a hand wrap around her arm in the darkness. She whimpered, unable to free herself from the strong grip. She was dragged out of the apartment forcefully, she didn't see who it was until they were outside."Ricky" her eyes widened. There was a sense of relief within her. Knowing that Ricky wasn't harmed, calmed her nerves. But he was partially cut on his left arm."You're okay," she said. He furrowed his brows at her."Don't speak Laura. Because of this stupidity you call
QWEN POV"Ricky, we are supposed to be planning our marking ceremony, but here you are, messing around with a slave!" Melo ranted, glaring at Ricky with her hands on her waist. Ricky sighed and rubbed his eyes tiredly. He still had a headache from last night's headache and Melo pulling him out to the hallway to rant didn't make matters easier."Melo, do you need anything?" Ricky questioned, ignoring her statement. "Yes, I need my Lycan King to be to actually be interested in our marking ceremony!" She demanded."Look Melo, I've given you what you wanted, haven't I? We're getting marked. Go ahead and plan the ceremony to your taste. I have other important things to attend to" Ricky said in a stern tone and Melo groaned.She wanted his full attention, but he wasn't ready to give it to her. For the past few days, every event has Laura in the middle of it. It's always about her and it's making Melo sick. She can't even remember the last time Ricky called her into his room."What importa
RHETT'S POV "You have to go back to New York. You have to get Andy to do what we want him to do" Rhett was insistent on his plan. Cassey had no other option but to go along with her brother's plans but with her own plan in mind. She decided to go back to New York but not to do what Rhett wanted her to do."Tomorrow morning, I'm sending you on the first flight to New York. Once you are there, I can concentrate on building myself again, while you and Andy get rid of Ricky for me" he said, finally picking up the fork and eating the food Cassey brought for him."Okay, Rhett. But what if Ricky finds out I'm there? He'll take me hostage" she reminded him. Ricky was still keeping an eye out for either one of them."I don't think Andy would let that happen, remember he loves you" he answered.Cassey was shocked by her brother's sudden change. He only cared about revenge and killing Ricky. She sighed and left for her room. She hoped that what she had in mind would work out and the feud would
RICKY'S POVAndy noticed how absent-minded Ricky was at the office that day. He was always distant during meetings and barely heard what any of the organizers were saying.When they were both in his office alone, he decided to ask him about it."Are you okay Ricky? You seem a little distant today" Andy asked, staring intensely at Ricky who was tapping his fingers non-stop on the desk."I don't know Damon... I hurt Laura and she's upset with me" he confessed much to Andy's surprise. "Wait.. did you just say Laura is upset with you? And you're sulking about it?" Andy snapped his head back in laughter while Ricky glared at him."What exactly is funny?" He queried."The fact that are in love with Laura and you don't realize it" Andy replied, trying to recover from his outburst."I am not" Ricky scoffed."If you know what's good for you, you better start trying to win her heart, or you might end up losing her for good" Andy pointed out."Even if you were right, what about my wedding? I pr
**Another flashback**At eighteen years old, emotionally damaged Ricky started to build his empire, bit by bit. He started to make a name for himself in the business world, he was known for his intelligence and cleverness in dealing with business even at such a young age. Ricky only had three people by his side who cared about him. Paulina, Andy, and Melo. They were always there to support his dreams and help him achieve the fame he sought after. Melo loved him so much, she would do anything for him, even if it meant displeasing herself. But lately, Ricky noticed that she was a bit anxious and distant. He didn't bother talking to her about it because he didn't want emotions to get in the way of his work.Ricky woke up one morning to discover that he had lost 70% of his shareholders. He quickly called in his managers and Andy, who all swore to know nothing about it.“That's not all, sir,” one of the managers said, shock evident in his eyes as he stared at his phone screen.“We've be
ANDY'S POV “The only problem is, I don't know how to get you out of the house since Ricky has given strict orders that you shouldn't go anywhere,” Andy said, after explaining his plan to Laura.Laura was pleased with the idea that Laura had, and she was willing to help. “You know you're the one person they actually listen to. So it's only wise if you play the part” Andy smiled.“Alright” she replied. The thought of having these two men wrapped around her finger made her blush. “I think I know how we can get me out of the house. You're Ricky's personal assistant, right? Just make sure his schedule for tomorrow is super packed, to keep him busy for hours, while I go out to see Rhett” she explained, he nodded.“What about the gammas? How will you get past them? Ricky ordered them not to let you out.”“Don't worry about that. I was known in my school as a troublemaker, I'll take care of it” she flashed him a sinister smirk and he chuckled.“If you say so. Please be careful. I'm going t
LAURA'S POV “Cousins?” asked, bewildered. That was the least thing she was expecting to hear. How could they be cousins and still work so hard to kill each other?“Ricky is heartless!” She whined. Laura was sober when she remembered how much Rhett was tortured by Ricky. How can a human being do that to his own family? She sighed and moved to a more comfortable position, still holding Ricky's hand.“Oh no babe… If I had him in my custody, I would have done worse things” Rhett smirked. “Why? Why do you two hate each other so much?”“It's a long story. I don't want to talk about it” Rhett answered, his fingers combing through Laura's hair.“But I want to know!” Laura insisted. It was her role to find out what actually happened, and finding it out was a major part of their plan.What's the plan?To get Rhett and Ricky to choose… Between their useless feud and those they love.“Alright calm down! I'll tell you” Rhett scoffed.“Well, My father and Ricky's father were born different mothe
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
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
