Coming Of The Knights

2022-11-23 22:04:15*Laura’s POV*
Their loud voices woke me up.
It always did. I glanced at the time and noticed it was already late. It was way past six already.
"Laura! Dinner's ready!" Mom called from downstairs. Of course, dinner will be ready, you food mongers! I didn't exactly want to eat; moreover, I had already lost my appetite a long time ago, but I made my way down the stairs anyway.
The smell of pancakes and brownies wafted through the air, and the dining table looked like a feast was about to take place. Wait, when exactly did she get home to prepare all this?
"Thank goodness!" Annabel exclaimed sarcastically as I made my way into the space that served as both the kitchen and dining area. Mom was taking out the brownies so I decided to help.
"Thank you." she said breathlessly and I could only nod. "Laura…" Mom called softly, making me look up in shock. Shocked that she'll ever talk to me using that tone of voice because she never did. She never really did anything, she never even spoke to me! "I know I've not been great towards you and I'm—"
"Just drop it!" I snapped, cutting her off. I didn't want to listen to her pathetic excuses. I was sick of them! Her eyes widened for a millisecond and then she nodded at me.
Suddenly, I didn't want to be anywhere close to her, so I picked up the bowl of fruit and went to drop it at the dining table. This time though, my stepdad, Charles, was on his seat going through the letters I picked from the mail cubby earlier. He looked extremely exhausted.
"Good evening Dad." I greeted him, plopping down on my seat opposite Annabel. He grumbled a reply, but I didn't bother listening. Annabel, on the other hand, was staring at me like there was something suddenly sprouting from the top of my head.
"What?" I snapped.
"You're ugly." she spat back, and went back to picking her nails. Mom saved the moment when she brought in the remaining dishes.
Their normal chatter resumed and I went back to eating silently. I was halfway into eating my food when the doorbell rang. At first, we all exchanged glances before my stepdad stood up. Guess no one was expecting a visitor.
We all kept exchanging glances for about 10 minutes until my stepdad returned. He looked terrified and I couldn't help but feel dread wash over me.
"What's it Dad?" Annabel asked. Mom nodded towards Annabel, as if saying that she just asked what she meant to ask as well, but Charles wasn’t paying attention to any of them. In fact, he looked like he had been run over by a tractor.
He said nothing but instead raised another copy of the black envelope with the golden seal. The envelope we’ve been getting in our mail box every day for the past two weeks.
"That's a first, they never send two of those the same day!" Mom said exasperatedly, "What's happening?"
"I don't know;" he replied coldly, but continued speaking when Mom kept staring at him "…but I think I've wasted enough time." he looked dejected as he walked to his seat and plopped down, his food long forgotten.
Annabel and I were lost, and for the first time in a long while, we exchanged glances. He broke the seal, pulled out the envelope, read the contents in silence and gasped. This time, he was visibly shaking.
"What's happening?" Mom shrieked, the urgency in her voice got me out of my seat in the blink of an eye.
"They're coming." Dad answered simply. His voice was quiet, too quiet. It didn't sound like him.
"Who's coming?" I spoke up for the first time that day. Annabel turned to look at me, not with the hateful eyes I was used to, but with a look that I couldn't quite decipher.
"The Knights," he said. Immediately he mentioned the name, Mom slumped on her seat burying her head in her hands.
I didn't know who these people were, but it was obvious that they were bad news.
"And how's their coming any of our business?" Annabel said sassily. She was always sassy.
"They're our business because I freaking owe them a large sum of money!" Charles snapped at her. I was shocked. And she was shocked as well. Mom was so shocked, because this was the first time we had ever seen him raise his voice at her. It just never happened. She was his fucking baby!
"Dad…" she whined, but he totally ignored her.
"How much are we talking about here?" I asked quietly. I didn't expect him to answer though. He never talked to me, but when he replied, I was surprised and shocked at the same time; because he had talked to me, and also because of the outrageous sum he called;
"I owe them 4 million dollars," he said, sighing. Both Annabel and I gasped in shock.
"No way!" Annabel whispered.
"How?" I whispered; And again I was shocked when he decided to answer my question instead of listening to his daughter’s rantings.
"I asked for a loan from him when I lost my old lab to a fire. I thought I'd be able to get the money back if I could invent the Time Machine and get investors, or even get the government to buy it... But the Time Machine never worked, it keeps experiencing a shortage of power and no power source has been able to keep it running for 15 seconds at it's most- and now I'm in huge debt!" He rushed out.
Mom's cries broke the sudden stillness that descended into the room. "What do we do now?" She cried. I swear I've never seen her this frightened before; even Annabel was lost.
The way Mom and Charles were going about it was so frightening that I couldn't help but ask; "who are these people?" This time, no reply came but Mom's sobs became louder. So I asked another question, "is there something they're asking for now?" Mom kept quiet and stared at her husband.
"Yes," he replied quietly.
"Don't give it to them Charlie, they're bad people!" Mom sobs grew louder.
"If I don't, they'll kill us" Dad snapped.
“Well, we can complain to our Alpha!” Mom cried in a high pitched voice, her eyes looking crazed.
“Oh don’t behave like you don’t know everyone’s scared of them!” He scoffed, sitting up.
"What's it they want then?" Annabel asked now.
"They're coming." He replied flatly. "Annabel and Laura, get ready, they're coming to take one of you." And with that he left the table, his food completely discarded.
I silently watched Mom as she wailed uncontrollably, and I couldn’t do anything but stare into nothingness.
At this stage, I was glad, glad that I wasn't the sexy sister, because I knew deep down that they were coming for Annabel and not me.

*Laura’s POV*We all sat quietly with everyone lost in their own special worlds; we all had one thing in common, though it was fear. Fear of the Knights.I wanted to know more. I wanted to know if there was anything else we could do instead of sending Annabel off to those people who were scaring the shit out of Mom and Charles."Is there something we can do to avert this?" I asked quietly, at the same time avoiding Annabel's gaze."Nothing." He replied. He suddenly looked far older than he was a day ago due to worry."This is terrible!" Annabel shrieked. "What would we do there, huh? Become his maid? his Mistress? Or what?" "You're going to become his wife!" Charles snapped. He's been unknowingly snapping at his baby a lot for the past 2 hours."Wife?" Annabel asked incredulously, as if that was the least she was expecting."Yes, that's what's stated in the letter, he wants to get married to one of you." He replied coldly, stating the word "wife" like it was some sort of disease. As

*Laura’s POV*"We're here." Someone said from beside me. It was that other Giant whom I almost thought was the one to marry Annabel- Or me.Before I could even blink, the car door had been thrown open and the Giant one was already outside. How he could flee from the car at such speed was way beyond me. They could be hybrids!"Come down." someone said from outside the car, but I couldn't move. I couldn't bring myself to. I could only stare at them in pure horror and wonder what would become of me if I did."Come down!" Another gruff voice commanded fiercely. Pushing my thoughts to the back of my mind, I picked up my wobbly legs and got out of the car as fast as I could."Good." Giant one said, "Come this way." he stated simply, and for the first time since my first encounter with him, I noticed he had a distinct accent- he's probably half Irish.Looking towards the direction he was pointing in, I saw a large glass mansion, Glass! Or maybe it was made from a material that looked like gl

*Laura’s POV *I woke up a few hours later to find myself stripped and chained. Both of my hands had cuffs around them with chains that were connected to the ceiling; and even my legs were chained too, but I didn't see where the chains led to. The room was dark.My palms were all sweaty, my hair clung to my face due to the presence of excessive sweat and my stomach was already grumbling from the lack of food for the past few hours. Worst of all were my butts. They were in pain! The cold metallic chair was not just hard against it but also felt like tiny needles were pricking at it.Dear Goddess, I'm going to pass out soon...The only sound that had been resounding around the room was the tick-tock of the wall clock, which I couldn't help but notice when the sound of an opening door took its place. I still couldn't see anything but I knew who had entered, for his presence made that weird sweet sensation crawl up my skin again. "I see you haven't changed- yet, and it's past 12 already.

********I don't understand why I had to become the mate of someone like Xander, as he is called. Just when I thought I had it all living with my mom, stepdad and sister, I never imagined I would live a much worse life in the pack of my so-called mate, Xander. The room is quite spacious and supposed to be comfortable since there happened to be a huge bed, a large television in the middle of the room and a closet filled with all styles of clothing and shoes, but then,my life was much worse. I wasn't happy. Nothing seemed to be going okay. While I was growing up, I used to imagine that my mate would be some handsome prince charming who would sweep me off my feet, love and protect me with all of his heart. Little did I know that I would be living a life of hell with my so-called mate. Handsome he was, but cruel and ruthless he was also. In my own mate's pack, I became a prisoner. Living in the room prepared for me for over a month without basking in the sound or having the rain drop

I stared at him, my heart pounding violently like it was going to burst out of my chest at any minute. This was so not my plan. I don't understand why things had to be this way. I stood in front of him, I felt like I was being made to stand in front of a crowd without clothes. He was my mate but he treated me worse than a whore. He laid on my bed with his hands placed underneath his head, his legs crossed together, while staring at my nakedness. He didn't utter a word but took a good view of my naked form. I cover both parts of my chest with my hands but, unfortunately, I don't have a third hand to cover my private area. His gaze was weirdly dark while he stared at me. This was something new. Whenever he comes to my room, I get punished in a different way. The last time he came, he made me squat while he laid flat on the floor while he feasted on my pussy. He ate me for an hour and I was not allowed to move. If I did, he would bite my clit every single time. I cried and moaned at

I stroked and sucked him countless times, and he always cummed deep down my throat, making me swallow his liquid. Though this was meant to make me suffer, as much as I sucked him, I felt high with desires. Now I understand what the punishment was all about. He wanted me to feel all high with urge but he never planned on satisfying me. I could feel my liquid littering the floor. I needed him deep inside me, but he just wouldn't give me what I wanted. I don't understand why he had to be so cruel towards me. I sucked and sucked until I couldn't feel my throat or the walls of my jaw anymore. They ache so badly. I couldn't even try to speak, knowing my voice would be inaudible. I sucked him and I lost count of the many times he came. The guy was a sex maniac. He never got tired, no matter how much he released. When he noticed I was getting tired of sucking him on my own, he would pull me towards his dick with his hands placed at the back of my head, then he began thrusting the walls of

I had been absent from the pack for two days now, but my beta, Chris, had always known where I was at. "Xander, why are you here? I thought you'd been with your mate ever since you took her to our pack?" I took my gaze up at Chris, but didn't say a word to him. I rather sipped my wine and stared into empty space. "Xander, I don't know what you have in mind, but do you know Luna almost died last night?" I froze but didn't show it. I slowly put down the glass of wine I was drinking and took my gaze back to Chris. "What do you mean?""I don't know what happened. She didn't come down for breakfast-""That is because I asked Lucy to let her have some rest," I interrupted. "Oh, some rest. Okay, I understand that, but she didn't come for lunch or dinner either. Since no one bothered to see what she was up to, I decided to go visit her-""Why would you visit my mate!" I interrupted again and this time, I could hardly hold back my anger. "Woah! Best it down Xander! You were not around an

Just when I thought I would be able to tell him all what I felt, I rather ended up holding myself back because I knew what that meant. Another Punishment. I haven't recovered from the one I went through lady night, so it would be foolish of me to provoke him again. Who knows, maybe I will die this time, since I didn't succeed in dying the first time. I wanted to ask the healer who actually saved me, but I was scared to go too deep with my questions. I don't want any trouble. Though he was being nice to me, that didn't stop me from being scared. They were all lycans and I suppose they think alike. Maybe it was better to forget whoever it was that saved me. That way I would have a peaceful life. If there was anything I learned while living under the roof of my stepfather, it was to mind my business. That was the only way I stayed out of trouble. ********Ever since I was admitted to the infirmary, the only person who has visited me was the pack's beta named Chris and, of course, the

****Laura's POV***# A Year later It hasn't been easy, being a white wolf and Luna to the great Knighter's pack. The destruction caused by my disappearance was unimaginable, but then, I'm glad the pack is yet again stable.While I was in my room, preparing for my Luna duties, I suddenly heard a knock on the door. “Please come in, Sarah,” I said without having to look at the door to see who it was. Sarah walked into the room, looking quite panicked. I creased my brow in a frown, wondering why she was looking that way. “What's happening, Sarah?”“The Alpha requests your presence in the pack hall, as there's something you must see.”I raised an instant brow and wondered what it could be. Since the maid had already informed me, it was better to go and find out what it really was, myself. Without wasting time, I stood up from my chair and headed out of my room quickly. The moment I approached the pack hall where meetings were conducted, I couldn't help but feel something Familiar and
Mated To The Ruthless Alpha Yes Xander, I Want It
****Xander's POV***She stood right in front of me while peering down at me, like I was the slave and she the master. Of course, she's my master. I took my gaze downwards, but there was no sign of pregnancy. Silly me, what was I expecting? It's been years and I still don't expect her to be pregnant still, unless I'm expecting to see her carry another man's child. Alpha Dominique and the rest of the men had left, leaving just me and Laura. “Why are you here?” I heard her ask. I was so lost in her eyes that I didn't realize she was actually asking me a question. “Are you going to keep staring at me or will you answer my question?”“Laura, my love. I thought you died.”“What are you doing here?”I shut my eyes and took a deep breath. Where should I start from? I never expected that I would actually see her here. When I opened my eyes, I could see her staring at me curiously and obviously waiting for an answer. “I wanted to end it all. I thought I would never see you again, and so I
Mated To The Ruthless Alpha Laura's Appearance
***Xander's POV***Having made up my mind to sacrifice myself for the safety of my pack I ventured to Alpha Dominique's pack with all determination. While I drove down to the pack, I made sure there were no weapons with me because I know Alpha Dominique, and that is the fact that he respects sincerity. I'm certain that when he sees my sincerity, he would surely grant me that which I seek. That is what I wish, and I hope he would actually grant me that which I truly seek from him. Just as I had expected, the moment I got to Alpha Dominique's pack, I was met by his men, but they dared not approach. I believe they thought that I had decided to come take my revenge. “Alpha Xander, you're far from your pack. Are you really here to launch an attack on us?”The man whom I recognized as Dominique's beta asked. “I'm not here for an attack, but rather, in here to see your Alpha.”They all looked at me skeptically. I could tell that they didn't believe my words. “You don't have to be scared
Mated To The Ruthless Alpha Xander's Intrusion
***Laura's POV***Since I didn't want to waste that much time, I know I should go straight to the point.“Honey, where have you been?”My mom asked, while my dad stared at me curiously. I heaved a long sigh and told them everything that had happened.“Oh no! That evil witch! I swear I'm going to have her killed for what she did to my daughter!” My mom lashed out. I was strongly baffled because this was my first time seeing my mom that mad. I've never seen her get mad at anyone before.“I knew it! This is why I would forever Blake Alpha Xander. It was all his fault. If only he hadn't involved himself with that witch, all of this wouldn't have happened.”“You're all right. Presently, there's no one who wants her dead like I do. I want her to pay for what she's done, not just to me, but for causing the packs to go to war.”My mom and dad both stared at me with a surprised expression.“What? You know what happened here?” My dad inquired, looking quite taken aback.“Well, both packs are wi

***Laura's POV***“Miss Laura, Are you sure you are ready for this“I've made up my mind, Alpha Darius. Don't you think that if I don't move, things will get even worse than now“You're right. That's why I think it's best that you really put an end to the battle. It has lingered for far too long“I know that's why I'm trying my best to put it to an end. I'm afraid that if this continues, both Alpha will end up killing one another. And I will never forgive myself if that happens“I understand you. You should take care of yourself and stay safe“I will. I'll be leaving Kaden with Mrs. Prisca,I'll come back for him the moment I have succeeded in what I'm going for“You don't have to worry. Kaden is safe with us. I have arranged some men to go with you, just in case you really need help. But still, you can inform me if you really need my help“Alpha Darius, you really didn't have to do this much for me. This is my fight, and I should be fighting it alone“You are fighting alone, that's wh

*****Alpha Xander's POV***“What do you mean, our men are all injured?”“Alpha, I don't think we can go on anymore. The soldiers are still healing from the lady battle,” my delta explained. I walked up to him with fury burning in my eyes. “What do you think would happen? If we can't protect the pack border? I'm not worried about myself, but what about the pack members? Do you think Alpha Dominique would care about the pack members? All he wants is his daughter!”“I know Alpha, why don't we come to an agreement with Alpha and try searching for Luna once more?”“You think I'm not searching for her? Alpha Dominique isn't giving me time to search for Luna.”“Fuck! This is all the faults of Miss Ciara. Why did she have to come up with such devious Plans?”“This isn't the time to think about what Ciara did. Tell me, have you heard about the men I asked you to send you to keep a track on her?”“Yes Alpha, but it seems Miss Ciara had gone into hiding.”“What? How the hell did she get away f
Mated To The Ruthless Alpha The Reason For The War
***Laura's POV***I instantly felt weak on my knees the moment Alpha Darius told me about the Battle between Xander and my dad. So, the fight has been because of me. I can't imagine what they must have lost during the process. This was all my fault. What should I do now? I should have told my parents I was safe earlier, and waited until Kaden was older. Just what was I thinking? How was I supposed to revolve the issue on ground? What am I going to do now? This is all my fault! Shit!“Uhm, Laura, I know how you must feel. But you have to be brave yourself. I think the best thing to do is if you do not want this war to continue, then it is time to put a stop to it. Immediately, I raised my head up and faced Darius. “Tell me, how do I bring this to a stop?”Darius stared into my eyes as if I had said something strange. “Did you really mean it when you said you want to bring a stop to this?”“Of course, I mean it. I can't let them continue on this bloodbath, or can I?”“This is good,
Mated To The Ruthless Alpha The Alphas At War
**Laura's POV**While at home, Mrs. Prisca and I made dinner together. Alpha Darius dropped by and since he didn't tell us beforehand, we didn't make preparations for his coming. “Darius, what's happening at the pack? You seem quite busy recently.”“I'm sorry mom, I know I should have come home at the time I promised. But yea, you're right. I've been quite busy dealing with pack matters that I could hardly even have time for myself.”“Oh, dear, they must have been really stressed. Just what exactly are you busy about? The business perhaps?”“Well, if it has anything to do with the business, that would be quite understandable. It's about the battle between two packs that is unending. So many things have been destroyed, and yet it doesn't seem like it will ever come to an end,” Darius explained. I paused at that moment, wondering why there are two packs in each other's throats for years and I couldn't help but wonder what they are truly fighting about and if it's worth fighting for an
Mated To The Ruthless Alpha Let Me Help
*****Laura's POV****While I was in the clinic, trying to prepare for the day, Ms. Athena walked in. “Oh my goodness! You look so heavy, Miss Athena,” I said, looking cheerful at Athena's growing bump. “It's all thanks to you. If it weren't for your discerning eye, I'm sure I would have taken my life, some months ago, thinking I was barren and wouldn't be able to have my child.”“Oh, come on, it's not because of me at all. I just did what I could.”“Exactly. All you had to do was touch my stomach and make it known to me that I was actually with child, and to this very moment, I can't even begin to tell you just how happy I am that I didn't change my mind about you. Maybe things would have taken a different turn for me. Or better yet, perhaps I would have lost my child due to my ignorance.”“And I'm still thankful that you chose to trust me, and today we'll be celebrating your safe delivery any moment from now,” I said with a smile splattered on my face.”“Oh, thank you so much!”As
