Alpha Gregory POVThe moon goddess was surely playing a fast one on me. If not, why on earth would my supposed mate be the one I sleep with that night?I had gone through so much just to get that potion from the Blood sorcerers, only for it to end up with that audacious omega!“ Fuck!" I let out a curse, growling deeply.What had happened a few days ago kept replaying in my head. I had thought rejecting that woman was the end of it all but I was wrong. I was still very much angry at the woman that ruined my plan and somehow, I felt there was something strange about it all.“ Alpha-" I jolted out of my thoughts as the voice of Steve, my beta rang out in my head. With a sigh, I listened to his report for over five minutes before shutting him off.After my discussing with Steve, I still couldn't bring myself to do anything in the office.“ Damn!" I cursed for the umpteenth time.If not for that woman ruining things for me, Ava and I would have been mated by now. In fact I would have gi
Stephanie's POVSince I couldn't go anywhere, I stood in front of his tent trying to peep inside. I still have a few days to stay here until the fog clears and I wasn't ready to cross Davies all over again.For a while, I was confused and a little frustrated. As much as he had gotten angry with me on a few occasions, this was different. I have truly gotten on his nerves this time around.I don't know what to do to pacify him or even trip off the guilt inside me. Darting my eyes around, I bit my lower lip nervously while pacing in front of his tent.With calculated faltered steps, I absentmindedly bite my nails before clasping my hands together."You've finally succeeded in getting him angry. What are you going to do now?" Laila questioned, her voice sounding accusatory to me.“ Are you his wolf or mine? Why do you keep switching between hot and cold?" I questioned, venting my frustration at her.Even though I was nervous I was still angry at her. As if she also wasn't scared when sh
Stephanie's POV “ Yes. It isn't magic, like you want to believe," he said, firmly. Even though I doubted him, I didn't want to argue with him. I nodded my head but did not say a word, I was scared of talking. "Hey, tell me what to do," I called Laila." I'm thinking," she said.We sat there and none of us said a word for a while which was getting me more nervous. I had apologised but he didn't acknowledge it. Was he planning to be mad at me till we go our separate ways? That thought got my heart beating fast.Davies stood up from the bed and turned his back to me and staring at me was a big tattoo on his back.It was a tattoo of a large dragon with the scariest blue eyes. That dragon looked so real and vicious and I wondered why he would draw such a tattoo on his back. But something wasn't right. I had seen him naked in the water but I didn't notice any tattoo on his back. Did he in
Stephanie's POV I listened with rapt attention as he talked about his people, at least he was talking to me and I was glad. But then something was off. Why was he talking as if he's some sort of royalty? "So will you continue your tour after now?" I asked.It's obvious that such a powerful man was moving around, he must definitely be looking for something. I was really sure about that. "No," he shook his head. "After getting you settled down in a new pack, I will return to mine and settle there with my people. I've had enough of the tour. My people need me," he replied. After hearing him say those things, I became anxious and wanted to know more about him and his people. "Your parents will be happy to see you back to them," I said smiling.That was my assumption and a scope to ask about his parents because I don't think he would be in a good relationship with his parents and he would be having a tour for years. They must have been very sad. He hissed and stared at me with those
Stephanie's POV She took a chair and sat in front of me. "Why do you want my life? At least tell me the reason and if you have a good reason I might give it to you," I said boldly.I didn't even know where my boldness was coming from. “I do not beg for anything. I take it when I want to," she shouted and grabbed my hair.She pulled it so hard that I thought they were going to pull out of my skull. I tried not to cry out from the pain. She stopped pulling and slapped me so hard and the rings on her fingers tore through my skin and I groaned in pain.As blood dripped from my face, she looked at me as if she was shocked and then she moved close to me with a sad face.“Hey sweetie pie, I didn't mean to hurt you,” she said with true remorse on her face.I was in a confused situation. Where did this woman come from and why was she acting like someone who has mental issues. “Don't get me angry again and you would be able to go home but…”She paused and I was anxious. Will she truly let m
Davies' POVAlthough the way she looked at me hurt me so much, after thinking about it, I still blamed myself for everything. I was only trying to please her when I took her to see flowers. I thought that was going to liven her mood.Well, she wasn't used to people who perform so much magic. I didn't even know what came over me. I barely used my magic because I was far stronger than it but it seems like when it comes to Stephanie I just want to show her everything I've got.When I saw those rogues coming, I could have possibly teleported to avoid them but I had forgotten how scared the woman with me was of magic. All I wanted to do was to make those rogues pay.I never liked rogue wolves because anywhere they go, all they do is cause destruction. This particular rogue group, I have been trying to eradicate them for a while now. I had thought beating the hell out of them was going to at least teach them a lesson but then they seemed stronger t
Davies's POVI was also a little confused on the paternity of the child but I wasn't going to let him claim it either.“ Steph…?” I called out in a hush.All Stephanie had to do was to tell me to get rid of that idiot in front of me and I would throw him and his men away like stone. I looked at her and she was still standing there looking shocked."Stephanie, I know I hurt you but I'm sorry. I've been searching for you since the day you left. I didn't even know that you were carrying my baby. Steph, I'm really sorry. Please come back home with me," the dumbass pleaded.I stared at Stephanie who seemed shocked at whatever the dumbass was saying. He was truly a dumbass. Why would he make such statement to the woman he rejected?Didn't he know that it means he wouldn't have come back for her if she wasn't pregnant? He was damn professing that she meant nothing to him without the baby!I wonder what decision Stephanie was going to take. Alas, I need not worry anymore as a glance towards S
Stephanie's POVWaking up from such a terrible dream and also seeing Davies staring at me was a red flag. I should have known that being with him would claim my life. I didn't want to tell him about my dream so I stayed there mute. Just then he left because one of his men called him. That was when I realized that it was morning. My body was soaked in sweat and I was still having the aftermath of the nightmare. I touched my stomach as if to feel if my child was still there. The dream looks so real that it scared the hell out of me.I was very sure that the woman was talking about Davies. He was the only dangerous one around me and I was glad that we would be going our separate ways by nightfall. Soon I started to hear an argument outside the tent. I wondered who had come again to waste their lives by confronting Davies. The voice became more vivid and it sounded so familiar. So I decided to go take a look and maybe I could save whoever that person was from death.Just as I got out
Davies's POVTitling my head to the side, a low wince escaped from my lips.Just when I thought things had returned to normalcy, they struck again but their target this time was Stephanie and her kids.I felt guilty for pulling Stephanie into the mess I had created.Before I could open my mouth to speak, my decision had been made, “I’m coming.”“Thank you." Gregory said, patting my back while I just nodded.He didn't need to thank me. I was the one who created the mess so it was only right for me to clean up.“We are going to find Stephanie and the kids." I said, my hand resting on my chest to show I was being sincere with my words.To save them, I was willing to do whatever it takes even if I had to put my life on the line to make it happen.
Davies's POVIt had been two weeks since Alpha Gregory rescued me from the hands of the seekers and I had recovered fully.Looking back, I could only imagine what the seekers would have done to me if not for his timely intervention I was immensely grateful for.Life had returned to normalcy.I no longer spent my day constantly looking over my shoulders and wondering what next the seekers were up to.Walking up to the window in my study, I allowed my eyes to linger on the lush vegetation that went on for miles as I thought of only one person.Stephanie.I had tried all I could to forget about her after the warning I received from Gregory's beta but it was to no avail.Each time, I found myself thinking about her, where she was and if she was thinking about me too.
Davies’s POVIt had been five days since I told Stephanie about my predicament, yet she hadn't shown up.The only thing I was holding onto was her promise of coming to save me but it seems that wasn't going to happen anytime soon. My grip on her promise was getting weak. I might as well discard it and resign to my fate as no one was coming to help.And just when I thought the Seekers were going to have an upper hand over me, Gregory and his men arrived at the dungeon. Earlier, I had sensed a different energy saturating the atmosphere and what I thought was a greater force working with the seekers was here to torment me.But it turned out to be Alpha Gregory and his men. In my life, I have never been relieved to see someone and so it was a new experience for me entirely. The moment Gregory and his men invaded the dungeon that was securely guarded by the Seekers', everything changed. The battle between them was fierce. Just as the Seekers were powerful, so were Gregory and his men
Alpha Gregory's POV The promise I made to Stephanie kept ringing in my head as I made my way towards my study. “I can't believe I actually agreed to save the one man who is a threat to my happiness with Stephanie." I muttered, plopping on my chair with a huff. Shutting my eyes tightly, I snapped it open as my heart clenched tightly against my chest. Is she finally showing her true self now? — I pondered, tilting my head to the side as I played and replayed her request in my head. Asking me to help Davies even when she isn't with him… maybe the pack members were right that she isn't loyal to us. Pushing my hand into my hair, I tugged on it for a while. At the moment, I was in an emotional turmoil that was threatening to make me lose my mind. Why would she put me up to that task?Truly, she never got over Davies yet. She was still in communication with him. “I should have known." I mumbled. “Know what?" Frank asked and immediately, I snapped my head upwards. I had no idea he
Stephanie's POV Stunned, I couldn't help but keep staring into space for as long as I could remember. I could hear Davies clearly. It was as if we were having a face to face conversation. Warmed with this discovery, my eyes watered. “Davies, are you there?" I asked when he didn't speak after a while.“Uhm." He sounded like a dying man which made me start panicking as I wondered what the issue was. Leaning forward, I murmured, “Tell me, are you alright?" My heart was beating rapidly against my chest making it seem like it was going to burst in any second. “The seekers. I have been at their mercy for almost a month now." Alarmed, I gulped. Holding my breath, I listened attentively to his tale about the seekers' torment and this made tears welled up in my eyes. If only I was there with him, this wouldn't have happened. — I couldn't help but to blame myself for his current situation.
Davies’s POVThere he is.For the rest of my life, I can never forget the face of the father who was behind the death of my mother even though I was diagnosed with amnesia. His face haunted me each time I remembered it.“You…” I yelled, trying to get off the constraints that were holding me back but it was to no avail. Thrashing about didn't help either and making me even more enraged, he was smirking. "Long time no see Davies.” He mouthed, walking further in my direction, the smirk on his face still stamped on it. "How dare you show your face here after what you have done?” I yelled at him. "I will never forgive you even if you ask all the elements to beg on your behalf.” I yelled again. The sickening aura in the room made me recoil but my gaze was still fixated on the man I had sworn not to forget in my life. He should be dead considering what had happened that day.Why in heaven's name
Davies's POV The Seekers continued to torment me non stop. When it seemed they weren't going to get what they wanted, the seekers left me alone but I was still confined in their experiment room. Patiently, I wanted for them to release me from the felters they had used to bind me but it seemed that wasn't going to happen. Day in, day out, I remained tied to the chair.I was still awaiting my fate when the door flung open and the old seeker walked in, followed by two youngsters flanked on both sides. “You didn't get what you wanted, let me go." I said, locking eyes with him. “We are taking you to the dungeon." He announced and immediately, the two young seekers made their way towards me. Thrashing about, I yelled at them, preventing them from coming any closer. With my eyes almost popping from their sockets, I yelled, “Let me go." Amused with my distress cries, the seekers began to laugh, making
Davies's POV For the past months, I haven't crossed paths with the seekers and it had been a relief considering the heartbreak I was dealing with. Mourning the loss of Stephanie and trying to avoid the seekers that were after my life was definitely going to make me go insane. Looking over the lush expanse of vegetation right under my window, I tried to stop my mind from racing with different thoughts but I had no control over it.Ever since Stephanie left, I haven't remained the same. Her absence left a void in my heart, making me wonder where I had gone wrong that would make her leave without telling me about it. She didn't even give me the chance to express my feelings to her before she left for Alpha Gregory. Resting against the wall, I couldn't help but reminisce about the times we shared together, and it made my heart ache. If only I could rewind the hands of the clock, I would be the happiest being
Alpha Gregory's POV The incessant itching and scratching, I noticed it all but I said nothing to her about it. I wanted her to tell me but she kept it to herself so I felt it wasn't bad as I thought. At the dining table, I kept casting her side glances. The look on her face showed she was in pain but still, she kept it to herself.Suddenly, she began to twitch and turn.Seeing it had escalated, I had no choice but to call out to the physician for help but he was taking too long and Stephanie was crying.“He will be here soon." I said, trying to relieve her of the pain she felt but it was of no use. Hurrying towards the door, I wanted to go fetch the physician myself but I couldn't leave Stephanie on her own; hence I was conflicted. Rushing to her side, I wanted to help ease the pain she felt when she suddenly went limp and the next second, she was falling off her chair.“My lord…” The physician announced his presence, standing behind the door. "What took you so long?” I yelled
