My Lycan Prince.Chapter twenty-one.“Lily, no,” Zero screams and he wraps me in his arms as we both fall through the air. Zero somehow flips us just before we both hit ground.Pain shot through my body but I ignored and crawled over to Zero lying unconscious.“Zero,” I shake him.He doesn’t open his eyes.I check for a pulse when I don’t feel one. I start to panic and start chest compressions. A crowd forms around us but I can’t be worried about that now…..not when Zero wasn’t breathing.I tilted his head back and breathed air into his lungs and started back the chest compressions.“Come on Zero, Breathe,”After five minutes he still wasn’t breathing and I slowed down on the compressions when I started to breakdown realizing he was gone.He can’t be.Why did he do this?How could he give up his life for mine? I’m worthless.I shook my head and start pushing harder.“Breathe,” I cried.Archer placed his hand on my shoulder.“He’s gone, Lily,”I shrugged his hand off me and continued
My Lycan Prince.Chapter twenty-two.My phone rings just as I open my mouth to say something to Archer. When I glanced down it was Rose when her name flashed across the screen I got this uneasy feeling in my gut.“It’s my sister, may I take it?”Dwayne nods and I pick up the phone.“Rose, what's wrong?”“Lily, we’re under attack.” Rose says and she sounds so frightened.I look over at Dwayne and he nods and I walk out of the room.“Rose what’s happening who’s attacking you?”She cries.“Blood moon’s Alpha found out Ethan had a mate and they are trying to use me against him,”“Can they get you to you Lunar air field?”“I don’t know,” she snubs.“I’m coming for you. Please Rose try to stay safe. I’ll be there as fast as I can,”“Please, hurry. I’m so scared,”“I love you Rose,”“I love you too,”I hung up and rushed back to Dwayne.“How fast can your jet get me to Colorado?”He shakes his head.“Your not getting into the wolves battles,”I close my eyes and take a deep breath.I know I’
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Twenty-three.Dwayne didn’t like it when I told him I wanted to stay with my sister tonight in my room. He wants me to move into his room. I told him Aunt Flo was still visiting and that would have to wait. He didn't protest but he wasn’t happy with me either. He told me what I did for Rose was foolish and that I shouldn’t have put myself at risk like that for anyone. Dwayne said he figured out where I was being held the same night those people captured me I asked him why didnt come for me then and save me from the torture they’d bestowed upon me.He laughed. His laugh was deep and emotionless as he looked me in the eye and told me that he left me there as my punishment for the way I had talked to him.When he saw how badly I was beaten and tortured he said I had gotten what I deserved.I asked him since he hated me so much why did he bother saving me at all? His brown eyes were cold when they met mine and he told me he didn’t save me. His plan was to leave
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Twenty-four.“Dwayne,” I seethed.How could he just blurt it out like that? He knew I hadn’t told anyone but Rose. I wanted Wade to know the truth, that's why I haven’t told him about me marrying Dwayne.“Pardon?” Dwayne extended his hand for Wade to shake.“I’m Dwayne Lily’s husband.”Wade was breathing heavily and before I could say anything Wade hit Dwayne and he fell to the ground holding his nose.“You stay the fuck away from my sister. Your twice her fucking age what the fucks wrong with you?”I step in front of Wade and shake my head.“Wade stop please. I’ll explain everything later just please don’t upset Jenny,”Wade looks over at her and he notices she is having a contraction and he rushes to her side. I looked over at Dwayne who was even more pissed.“You shouldn’t have come here. This my family time if I wanted you here I would called you,”His jaw tics a few times and he moves closer.“Don’t make me tell your brother and sister what you’ve been up
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Twenty-Five.“Archer. Could you take me to the hospital? I’m hoping I didn’t miss the birth of Wade and Jenny’s baby,”“Not dressed like that,”I looked down at my torn up skirt with trembling fingers. I try to cover myself up.“I’ll go change,”Archer stopped me with his arm when I tried to leave his room. “I’ll come with you,”I didn’t protest against Archer when he came with me to change my clothes. My body is still shaky and Archer helping me get dressed only added to it. Archer was nice and sweet but his whole demeanor changes so quickly I never know when he will turn back into an asshole.Archer rushed me out of the Mansion and into the car. Probably worried that Dwayne would come after me. I opened the door to the hospital room and Wade was sitting with Jenny on the bed and they were both smiling down at the baby in her arms while Rose was taking pictures.“I missed it,”Wade smiles up at me.“Only by ten minutes,” He says, hugging me, pain shot throu
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Twenty-Six.“Dwayne? You're in love with Dwayne?”I must be hearing things: who in their right mind would love someone as ruthless and heartless as he is?Clara chews on her jaw and she slowly meets my gaze and nods her head.My mouth drops.“Why?”She bites her lip and looks away.“Clara,”“Once I said something he didn’t like and he pinned me against the wall and…..He touched me and I’m telling you Lily my body was like puddy in his hands. I’ve craved his touch since,”“I know what you mean,”I feel the same way about Archer. “Dwayne’s not a nice person. He’s….” I tail off.“I know. But I can’t help it. I’ve tried to get over him but I can't. I love him.”“I get it,”She scooted closer and she rubs her finger over the wedding ring on my finger.“He must really care for you,” She mutters, hurt evident in her eyes and my heart clenched.I wanted to tell her the truth but I couldn’t….Not yet.“We should hang out and celebrate my thirtieth birthday ,”“You’re t
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Twenty-Seven.I was so close to the feeling of Archer’s lips against mine. Thanks Dwayne for interrupting my chance.Clara walks over to me with a huge bunny in her arms.“Dwayne won this for me, can you believe it?” She says cheerfully.I grin.I’m so glad Clara’s birthday was a success and she got what she wanted.“Ready?” Dwayne asks me and extends his hand.Archer stiffened next to me and brushed my fingers against his veiny hand and I glanced over at him and smiled at him softly.I stepped forward and placed my hand into Dwayne’s as he led us back to the harvest. Once we were out of sight of Archer and Clara Dwayne squeezed my hand tightly causing me to drop my giraffe on the ground.“What the fuck was that? You were going to kiss my son and now your step son,” Dwayne seethed and his nostrils flared. I cringed at Dwayne's words. Archer was far from being my step son…. “You’re my wife, remember that.” He snarls and lets my hand go. I bent down and picke
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Twenty-Eight.My life has always been dull—never allowed to do anything without permission. First from Riley with school he picked my classes and wouldn’t allow us to date or have friends, if it wasn’t for me begging him he would never let me get that job with his betas mother and it surprised me when he said I could.Once I was out of Riley’s claws I was under Archer. Not that I minded Archer, he really didn’t give me any problems, he let me pick my classes and have some type of freedom. He only set one rule—no drinking.I could live that.But then Dwayne sank his claws so deep into my skin that my soul is slowly draining from my body. He’s ruthless and cruel, not to mention he is all for rules and punishments. I’m being pulled between the two of them and I’m not sure which way to go. I love Archer but without Dwayne my plan won’t work—I need him.I climb off Archer’s lap standing to my feet. Without a word I walked into the bathroom and undressed so I could
My Lycan PrinceEpilogue two. Ten Years Later…Avery Cole.Coming back to the island was something I told myself I’d never do. Not after Grandpa Dwayne and My father wanted me to go into their business. I didn’t want to make a name for myself and that’s exactly what I did.I had my name legally changed to Avery Cole instead of Martago. That last name carries with it a power that I wanted to possess but I wanted to gain that power on my own with my own name.I left the island at eighteen and went to college in California. I haven’t left the state since. After I finished business school I got my first job and from there I went on to create my own company Cole Enterprise. It only took me six years to do it. Both my parents were proud of me for what I have accomplished but I still dreaded coming back to the island. But my sister Sierra is getting married to some high school sweetheart and begged me to come. There’s a reason I left the island. It wasn’t because of the family business.
Epilogue Five-Years Later……“Lily, don’t forget Whitney is going with Sierra and I to the movies. Avery refuses to go,” Archer tells me.“He’s a teenager with mood swings,” I smile at him.Avery has changed a lot over the years, the things he used to love to do he hates now and he refuses to go anywhere with us as a family unless we force him to go. Since Sierra has Whitney going with her today I won’t make Avery go. “I know. We could have hung out while the girls played games before the movie,” Archer shrugged. Dwayne and Clara took a two day trip to the beach for their wedding anniversary. Archer and I are minding after Whitney.Clara hated to leave Whitney behind but like I told her she needs time to be with her husband and not have the baby around. Archer and I took a couple of days to ourselves last month. It was so nice and we enjoyed the little bed and breakfast.“I can try talking to him,” I tell him, turning to head up the stairs.Archer grabs my arm and pulls me back sh
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Sixty-One.Four Years Later…..“I’m so glad we’re finally having lunch with just the two of us. It’s been a while since we’ve had a girls day out,”ound i Clara said, taking a sip of wine. She’s right. It’s been a while since we’ve had a day for us. With being wives and mothers finding the time to be just us is hard. But I’m glad we found the time.“Me too.” I told her and as my eyes glanced around the room they landed on a familiar face, one I’ve seen from the dream where Archer died. I didn’t think much of it at first but now…it couldn’t be a coincidence could it?“Hold on. I’ll be right back,” I told Clara. She nodded and started looking through the menu. I walked over and stood at the table where the woman sat alone eating her meal. She was just as beautiful as the last time I saw her.Flash back from the dream.“Clara. You can’t be serious? I told you I wasn’t ready to start dating so soon,” Clara shrugs her shoulders. “Too, Late. Your date with Matthew
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Sixty.As I stand in front of the full length mirror in my old room in the palace. The plain white mermaid cut wedding dress fits my body like a glove. This dress suited me better than the ones in my dream when I was Marrying Mattie. The dress may be plain with just lace but it’s beautiful. Archer has never asked me to change who I am. He doesn’t demand I wear makeup to make me look more attractive or tells me not to eat so much because I’m getting too fat. Archer loves me for who and what I am.Lily Monroe.I’m far from perfect but who’s perfect these days anyway? I helped Clara plan the wedding with Archer. We've spent the last six months doing nothing but wedding things. My hair is curled and falls down my back. Archer doesn’t care about my hair, he cares about what makes me happy. Clara applied a thin layer of eye shadow and mascara and a touch of red for my lips. I don’t like makeup but I made an exception for today. Clara and I decided to go with a w
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Fifty-Nine.I stood from the couch and walked to the kitchen and grabbed a glass and held it under the faucet. I gulped the water down, my throat was so dry.I heard the front door open and close and I sighed.“I’m in the kitchen Mattie,” I said loud enough he would hear me but wouldn’t wake Avery. I rinsed out the glass and sat back on the drainer.“Who’s Mattie?”I froze. I closed my eyes tightly and shook my head.No. It’s not him, don't let your mind play tricks on you. If you keep this up you're going straight to the psych ward.His finger wrapped around my hips and he squeezed. His hot breath tickled my ear.“Answer the fucking Question Lily. Who the fuck is Mattie?” Archer asked again.I shook my head.“This isn’t real. You’re dead.” I said aloud, it was more for myself than him.Archer flips me around but my eyes stay closed to be afraid of what I’d see if I opened them.“What?” He said.Tears had already begun to run down my cheeks. I know this isn’
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Fifty-Eight.It’s been three weeks since Dwayne gave me Archer's ring. Three weeks I’ve thought about nothing but Archer's death. I’m not sure why Archer felt the need to ask me to marry him. I never once mentioned marriage. I was just happy that he loved me.Mattie saw Archers ring the night Dwayne gave it to me. He asked me where I got it and I told him Dwayne gave it to me he only nodded his head, never said anything further. I asked Mattie why he wanted to marry me when he cheats every chance he gets it. His answer? Oh you’ll love this one.“I’m marrying you because I love you. But what you don’t give me they do, so it’s a win win for the both us,” I just rolled my eyes at him. For as long as we’ve been together I haven’t once slept with him. I don’t plan to either.With only a week to the wedding I’ve been spending time with Avery. He seems happy that Mattie will be in his life and he will have someone to look up to.Avery doesn’t know about Mattie’s c
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Fifty-Seven.“She’s having a mental breakdown?” The voice I heard was not familiar and sounded like he smoked two packs of cigarettes a day. When no one spoke his raspy voice hummed.“They won’t tell you the truth. She’s family, they don’t want her locked up. But yeah I believe she’s having a breakdown,” I knew that voice. It was Mattie’s. How could he do this to me?I still can’t speak. I can’t even lift my arms or try to defend myself. I’m a helpless sitting duck.“I wouldn't say she’s having a mental breakdown. She just can’t seem to get out of the grieving process. It’s been years since he died,” Clara said.“Ah, I see. It’s not that she can’t get out of the grieving process. It’s that she has yet to grieve, she probably hasn’t let it sink in that he was gone. We can start her on some depression medication and I would suggest seeing a psychiatrist. This will be a long and painful process for her.” “Thanks Doctor,” It was Dwayne who spoke this time.“Th
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Fifty-Six.It’s been three months since I accepted Mattie’s proposal and I have hated myself ever since. Clara was excited and started planning the wedding the next day. The date is set for only four months from now. I’m not sure what I’m feeling at this point. I’m too numb to let it all sink in.Avery was happy with the news as well; he thinks of Mattie as a father. I don’t know why that breaks my heart like it does ... .but does my heart ache watching them throw a football back and forth. Clara wanted me to meet her for wedding dress shopping today. I didn’t wanna go but you know Clara she would have just dragged me here whether I like it or not. “Wow. Lily, this is the one,” Clara nods.“I agree,” Rose smiles with tears in her eyes.Jenny couldn’t make it today. I wish she could have been here.The dress is beautiful. Ball Gown strapless heart shaped neckline, with lots of crystals. This wouldn’t have been my choice of dress but I don’t care I just want
My Lycan Prince.Chapter Fifty-Five.The whole island was talking about the accident that happened two days ago. The deadly crash that took two lives. Why was everyone talking about it? Well you see one of the men that died? Was very well known on the island; his name was released hours after the crash. Archer Martago.My whole world came crashing down when Clara called me with the news. I was in complete shock. I mean there was no way that Archer was dead, it just couldn’t be there had to be some kind of mistake. But there wasn’t. Archer was gone.Avery didn’t take the news well, and he hasn’t stopped crying since. Me? I’ve been back in that dark place. I haven't eaten or talked that much since. Trapped in my own twisted head that has led me back down this darkness this time around I don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.How could there be any kind of light for me after this? How can I ever find happiness again? Archer and I were doing great. He kissed me and told me that h
