Chapter83
Mia's POV.I sat on my seat, anger filling my being. I knew that alpha couldn't be trusted, but I was desperate. I didn't like the fact that something else was going on.I didn't know what was going on.He was only supposed to get the girl, but then it seemed he had other plans In mind.I didn't go on the day of the invasion, and decided to go check on the shadow moon pack the next day. However, when I got there, I saw people trying to check whatever was left from the pack which was torn down.My eyes widened, and I rushed towards some of the pack members who were crying over their loss.“E-excuse me,” I stammered. “What happened here?” I asked, trying to understand what was going on.My heart was drumming faster than usual, and the need to know what happened took over me.The woman, and men looked at me with pain in their eyes, but none of them wanted to speak out. I could tell it was because of the pain they felt.“Our pack was attacked, and as you can see, we lost everything!” She sounded, feeling really unhappy about the whole thing.I swallowed, hoping it wasn't what I was thinking. Aric had the permission to destroy the pack, but he had no right to touch my man.“What about the Alpha?” I questioned, having a bit of faith. I would rather not think Aric was bold enough to go against my orders.I was bold enough to know what he wasn't able to do anything else.The people didn't say a word, almost like they were ignoring my words.Feeling angered by their silence, I asked again. “What about alpha Lucian!”It was then one of the ladies said something that caught my attention.“He helped us escape. He made sure the men of the enemy alpha didn't get to us, but we don't know where he is now.”The way he said it made me terrified. I didn't know what else to do at this point.The fact that they all said they didn't know where Lucian was scared me to death.“Please… You can't tell me that Lucian's dead, please….” She continued to beg with tears in her eyes. There was no doubt that something was indeed wrong.I stayed there with tears in my eyes until I wasn't able to contain it anymore. I didn't even know what else to do at any point. All I knew was that something good was coming.My heart skipped a beat, and I knew something was obviously wrong. I couldn't make out what Aric had done, but I knew it was something bad.Suddenly, I noticed one injured guards waking towards us. He had his hands on his stomach, and a woman yelled out his name, rushing to go meet him.“James!” She cried out, holding him so close to her chest. She must be his wife, or lover.My eyes turned dark. I knew he was a pack guard who must have accompanied Lucian.“James!” I yelled, rushing to go meet him, which made the lady clench on to him tightly. She thought I was trying to take her man.“Tell me, were you with Lucian? What happened to the alpha, tell me!”The moment I said that, the lady who sat close to him snapped at me.“Can't you see he's hurt?” Tears filled her eyes.I ignored her words, moving closer to him.“What happened to Lucian, and I'll be able to help you ease your pain,” I explained with a smile on my face, pulling out a mixture made by the best healer.I had brought it with me because I thought Lucian might be hurt, but nah that Lucian was nowhere to be found, I could as well help the servant.“Lucian…” He trailed, coughing out blood. “Lucian fell off a cliff when fighting the enemy alpha. I was the only survivor from the fight who wasn't taken away by Aric. I guess they thought I was dead,” James explained, taking a deep breath.Once he explained that, I frowned. My eyes turned dark, and I knew what I had to do.My teeth gnashed against each other, and my heart drummed like crazy. I gave James the potion, and left the place without looking back.Once I got back to the club, I locked myself in my dresser, and cried like there was no tomorrow. I had imagined myself being his wife with our three kids.I loved Lucian, and was ready to go to any extent for him, but I seemed like they were all gone.I was angry. I felt my heart wanting to leave my chest. Once I had cried enough, I decided to do what I needed. I started plotting ways to enter into their lives, and cause them nothing, but pain.I wasn't going to be the one to be hurt. I was going to make sure I made them pay.Aric, and Kira both caused me pain, and I would make sure it gave them back the same treatment.I didn't care how that was going to happen. Kira would wish for death, but won't find it.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and when I didn't respond, the knock continued.“Who is it!” I yelled, obviously frustrated by the whole thing I had found out.“The boss wants to speak to you. She says it's important,” A familiar female voice replied, making me frown.I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone, but since it was my boss calling, I already knew why she was calling me.She was probably going to ask why I didn't come out yesterday. I knew it, but I wasn't willing to speak.“You will pay Kira. I'm quittingthis job, and I'll put all my effort into making sure you wished you weren't born!”Chapter84Kira's pov.I felt pain all over my body after another torture that came from him. I couldn't believe I was in this mess. It still felt like a dream to me. One I wished to wake up badly.I thought everything would go great, but my life took a drastic turn. As if that wasn't enough, Lucian didn't come back as he promised, and I didn't know how long I would be able to hold back.The torture was too much, I was becoming overwhelmed by it, that my being was feeling itself being drained away.The door pushed open, and I was shocked to see the young maid who had been taking care of me.She rushed to my side once she got into the room with worry in her eyes.She couldn't dare speak against the alpha, but her eyes showed It all.“Ma'am Kira, are you alright?” She asked with raised brows, causing me to frown. I didn't like her calling me ma'am, and despite my hurt state, I cared about what she called me.I had told Melody about her calling me by my name, and nothing else. However, she
Chapter85Lucian's pov.I waited for Cookie to return, my heart drumming with fear. I didn't know if her mother would give us permission to stroll based on my health.I was slowly recovering, but she still insisted on the fact that she wanted me to rest.Martha was a strict woman, and I didn't know she would give us the chance to do what was needed. I was scared that things wouldn't go the way we planned, and sweat formed on my head due to that.A sigh left my lips, and creased appearing on my forehead. At this point, I didn't know what was going on anymore.The urge to go out there, and listen in on the conversation was something I didn't understand.As I pushed myself up from the bed, the door pushed open, and lo, Martha stood there with a puzzled expression on her face.“You said you wanted to go for a stroll with my daughter?” She asked with tossed brows which made me nod. I knew she came here to confirm.At that moment, Cookie immediately rushed in. She was shocked to see her mom
Chapter86Lucian's povIt took a while for me to recover. Her constant question of ‘are you okay?’ rang in my ears as I battled with the pain. “Are you alright?” Cookie’s voice rang again. She hovered over me while I laid on the ground with my eyes closed while images of an event played in my head.“Hello….” She uttered, staring at me with a smile. “I'm alright. I just… I just felt pain. It seemed that guy triggered a memory,” I explained, trying to sit up from the ground.However, I noticed she tears beamed in her eyes despite the smile. “Why are you crying?” I asked, my head filled with wrinkles as a result from the constant pain. I was worried that things wouldn't get any better. I still couldn't understand the images that kept playing.She shook her head, using her palms to clean her eyes then she stared at me with a smile.“I thought something bad happened, all because of that…” Cookie trailed, sniffling.I couldn't help but smile. Was she that worried about me? The pain I felt
Chapter87Kira's pov.I took a deep breath, rushing to get done from where I was before I would be spotted. The guards were also having dinner, but that didn't mean they weren't alert.I jumped down, landing on my feet. It hurt because I hadn't walked for a long time. I looked around, but it didn't seem I had a way to escape.“What?!” I heard him yell, making me worry. I didn't know what was going on. I was worried about him spotting me.The next thing I saw caused me to turn pale, but I made sure to hide myself really well.Melody was pushed out of the pack house, making me gasp. Confusion filled my being. I didn't know what he was going to do, but watching her suffer because of me made my heart twitch.“Tell me where she is. Are you helping her escape?!” Aric yelled, making the girl shake her head. She was scared, and could only sob.“P–please alpha…” Melody begged, but the alpha gave her another slap, making her body crash to dusty floor.The way she was being treated made me feel
Chapter88Lucian's pov.I opened my eyes, breathing hard. My eyes darted around the place, and I found Cookie sitting alone. She seemed to be looking elsewhere, her knees drawn up to her chest.“What's going on?” I asked with raised brows. I was scared to see her that way, her back facing me.She slowly turned her eyes to look at me, tears in them. “turns out you're a wizard. Your mom was a great witch,” Cookie explained, but I couldn't explain why she was crying. I didn't know if anything bad happened, so I waited for the right moment to ask.“If that's what you found out, then why are you crying?” I asked, but before I knew what happened, she hugged me tight.She threw her hands over my shoulders, and placed her face in my chest crying.“I thought you weren't going to wake up. I did the spell, but after I ended, you didn't wake up. I thought I had killed you…” Cookie trailed off, and then raised her head to look into my eyes.I didn't know what else to say. It was the first time I s
Lucian's pov.My eyes widened when I heard what she had to say. My heart drummed like never before. I was confused on what to do."You mean she hasn't returned?" I asked with raised brows, and Martha nodded with tears in her eyes. It was almost dark. I had refused to come out for dinner because I thought Cookie would be there, but it turned out it wasn't as it seemed."What happened? She said she was going out with you. Did you guys have a fight?" Martha asked, but I didn't know how to tell her. I was worried that she would flip when she heard what her daughter did. I couldn't tell Martha her daughter was mad at me because she professed her love to me, and I didn't respond the way she expected. I didn't know how she would feel."Please tell me what happened. It's not like her to not come back by this time...." Martha trailed, sobbing already.I was thinking of the words to soothe her. Fabricating a lie wasn't as easy as I thought. However, when I thought I had the perfect one, Martha
Chapter90Lucian's pov.I stood there with my heart drumming in my chest. Who would have thought she would ask me to kiss her in order for her to go home?“So, what's the answer going to be, are you going to kiss me?” She asked, seeming excited.I lowered my head in thought. Something didn't seem right. She never showed me she loved me romantically, something was definitely wrong with Cookie.“I'm sorry Cookie, I can't kiss you. I know you love me, and I love you too, but–” Cookie interrupted me before I could finish speaking. “But what? You're getting me angry, and you know it. You better do what's necessary, or else, I'm going to make you wish you never said that. I'm going to jump into the river!” She threatened, making my heart skip a beat. I didn't know what else I was going through, but I was sure of one thing. I needed to do something immediately to get her attention, so I couldn't at least get her away from the river. I couldn't let her drown, what will her mother think?I
Chapter91Lucian's pov.Martha was wondering what I was trying to say, but it was like she understood what I meant because her expression changed. Her heart was drumming, and she was confused. She turned towards me, and then directed her line of sight to Cookie who hadn't answered the question I asked her.“Cookie, answer me. Have you been corrupted?” Martha pressed on, her eyes didn't even blink while she stared at her daughter.Fear filled her. Someone being corrupted was hard to recover. There were certain things about corruption we had heard about the past, but whenever it happened, it corruption too over the mind, it led to the person's end.“Answer the question! Are you corrupt?” Martha asked with her eyes glaring at her daughter.With the silence, Martha realized only one thing, then Martha's eyes widened. “What have you done?” Martha gasped. She rushed towards her daughter,and dashed her a harsh slap across her face, which caused Cookie's face to turn towards the opposite d
Lucian's povMy first dead wife was standing in front of me, and I didn't know what else to say."Where's Kira?" I asked, and then I saw a male figure holding her tight."She's over here...."My eyes moved towards the direction he called, and all I could do was to call out to her.She was crying, and was breathing hard. "Lucian, please help me..." She begged, and I rushed there, but he placed a knife on her throat."The main aim was to kill you, so many people didnt have to die although Mia was partly the reason we lost a lot. I have been meaning to speak to you about something. I know you're worried about a lot of things, and one of them is herz but weren't you wise enough to get the picture that we were playing you all along. First my sister's then my mate. All to end your life!" At that moment, I turned to Penelope, and I saw her shedding tears. It was obvious she still had feelings for me, because I felt our love was very strong."A lycan never surenders I know, and that's why I
Lucian's pov.Everyone was already in their position, and still no sign of Mary. She had told me before not to worry, but then I wasn't such a cold heartless brother not to worry at all.Today was a day of pain for me, and I really wished she didn't tell me about what was going on.I tried my best to make sure everything was perfect. However, the pack house was weirdly quiet."I'll snick inside. The rest of you, attack, and create a distraction..." I instructed, and I watched how they rushed around creating distractions which alarmed Aric's army.Meanwhile, my main aim was to snick into the pack house. I wanted to first of all finish Aric off before I decide to take Kira back home. The pack house was oddly quiet, and I walked in only to meet it still quiet. I moved up the stairs, and there were a lot of things I was worried about.Finally a sound reached ears it was the sound of two people struggling."When are you going to give up Aric. You're weak!" She yelled, but he growled, atta
Mia's pov This as the day inas waiting for, and even when Logan had promised to help me I guess I was finally ready to carry everything about the plan. My men were on stand by, and once I get to Aric I would make sure Kira would be taken away while I deal with him. I didn't care show long that was going to take but it all had to be today. I was getting myself ready when all of a sudden I received a call in my phone. It was from logam, and the moment I saw it, I rolled my eyes. I was tired of him, but the truth remained that I had no choice. I had to go back to him once all these were done because he wasn't alive anymore. Aric killed him, and I was going to show Aric that I wasn't someone to mess with. I picked up the phone, and place it on the outer speaker, so I could hear him while I get myself ready. "Hello darling, how are you doing?" I rolled my eyes, he was my mate, and wasn't meant to be treated bad in anyway. My hands were shaking, and all I wanted was to make
Lucian's pov. I know what she was trying to tell me. "Did she see the future, or was she just scared?" "There's no need to be in thoughts. I know we are going to fight a war tomorrow. At the same time, Mia is already ready. Not for you, but for Kira. I had a vision about the war, and..." I immediately realized where she was going to. "Then I'm not going to allow you go. You aren't going anywhere!" I yelled. Apart from Kira, she was the only close family relation I had, and now, she was my sister. I had taken her to be that. "I'm sorry Lucian, but doing that would only complicate what's going on now. I know things aren't the way you envision them to be, but I'll die in the arms of my lover." She was throwing me all around. I didn't realise she had a lover. Besides, she never used to talk about him anyways. She was always quiet. "I met him after the attack. He was Aric's beta, but he wasn't involved in the attack. He saved my life, and we fell in love, but we got separated
chapter117 Lucian's pov I didn't know what was going on, but the plan seemed to have some kind of fault. Now that I knew that something was off, I needed another plan just in case. Thankfully, Peter was good enough to make sure things went back to ordered. I was happy about the whole thing. I was actually really excited about it. I was glad to know he was ready to stand by me. I moved towards the library, and sat there planning. The truth remained that I didn't even know what our faith was going to be after this, but then I didn't want to envision bad things for myself. I was hoping things were going to be easier to get through with. "You're still looking at the plan?" I heard Peter's voice from the doorpost. He seemed worried, but masked it with a smile. I knew he was going to talk about this. I knew he wasn't going to keep shut. "Yes. I needed to be sure things are in place. I don't want to make the same mistake twice. I couldn't dare let Kira go through anything else
Mia's pov I was shocked to see him at my door. My heart drummed like never before, but there was nothing I could say to him. I felt like my life was about to be over. I was trying my best to understand, but then it didn't seem right. "I see you didn't miss me at all. The frown on your face says it all, darling..." He expressed with a smudged look on his face. I sighed. Not only was I not happy, I was shocked. I couldn't tell how he was able to find me after all these time. I had not given him any information about my whereabouts. No address, nothing of any sort. I was just confused seeing him here. "Cheer up. You're going to be fine. I just came here to see how you're doing. Besides, I am your mate, aren't I?" He asked in an attempt to come into my house, but I blocked him by placing my hands on the door post. "I didn't recall telling you to come in!" My tone was harsh, making him frown in an instant. "Are you perhaps taking to me in that manner because I do not
Logan's pov I was feeling angry inside. I didn't know what else to do, but Mia was making me go crazy and I didn't think there was anything that could help me at this point. I had a glass of whisky in my hand, but no matter how much I sippedz I couldn't get her off my mind. Penelope walked in looking angry. Her eyes lingered on me before she spoke. "You're making her seem like she's gold she's your mate, but I left mine to make you happy. Why cant you forget her, and move on?" I turned towards my sister, and growled. "No. I can't. She's all I have. She's not the enemy. I'm sure she has an explaination for her deed." Penelope laughed. She laughed so hard I was confused, wondering what she was laughing about. "The way you trust her is amazing. I'm sure you have the time to do all that, but I what results. I don't care what it takes, but I think she's also in love with my supposed mate!" "Enough!" I yelled, making everywhere dead silent until the guard I had sent finally
Mia's pov I walked around the room and he stood there with worry on his mind. I could tell he was worried because he couldn't even stand straight. Things weren't as easy as I thought, and at first I was angry, but seeing him in a helpless state was amusing. "Where were we?" I asked with raised brows, and I watched him trying to pick up bits of our last conversation. I was worried and at the same time ready for action. "Get him!" I yelled, and before he could process what was going on. He was pinned against the wall. "What's going on here. This wasn't part of the deal you forgave me!" The moment I heard whatever he said, I laughed like there was no tomorrow. Was he really crazy to think I would include someone as stupid, and clumsy as him? He must have been joking to think that I would have considered that. I laughed again, and he stared at me like I was crazy. I knew that there was no words that could explain how scared he was. His face was pale, and his eyes darted around fo
chapter113 Mia's pov I was shocked about what was happening. I didn't know what was going on, all I knew was that something wasn't right. I hadn't gotten any news from Clark since the second time I sent him away. That's fine, I didn't care what was holding him back. It was obvious he wasn't cut out for the job. Clark was too gentle. He was Maybe kind-hearted, but changed when it was usually his turn to bite. I laughed, loving all I was seeing. It was obvious there was a lot of things to be done. I didn't even mind. I had a lot of things to fix up, and I wasn't going to rest until I fix them up. Picking up my communication device, I dialled his number. I waited for a while so it would ring before I was able to proceed. "Hello?"He answered, not too excited. "You haven't done what I asked you to. What's taking so long?" I questioned, creased lines appearing on my face. I was tired, and didn't know what else to do about the whole thing. I hated when whatever I had said was
