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 POVAt the seekers' lair, the moment Stephanie stepped out with the kids, I wanted to rush to her side and give her a bear hug but somehow, I was able to hold back from doing so.And when she ran to Gregory immediately, my heart shredded into a million pieces.So as not to dwell on the scene playing right beside me, I busied myself watching the fire that was rising into the sky.To keep Stephanie close, I had offered to host them for the night and to my delight, he accepted without making a fuss.Even with her presence and the fire crackling in the fireplace of the bar, the house was cold.With my back turned on them, I kept my gaze out of the windows as my heart clenched against my chest. Stephanie tried all she could to lighten the mood but Gregory was distant and just the same way she was hurt with his attitude, so was I. Pushing my hand into my pockets, I swirled around. It was then I discovered Stephanie had left Gregory to himself and I was glad she did. Was I happy
Stephanie’s POVFinally, it was all over. The seekers had all gone to fight Gregory and the army but none of them returned to the dimly lit hall for me and my kids, not even the old seeker. Scooping my kids in my arms, I placed a tender kiss on their foreheads, holding them to my chest as relief watched through me.The thought of losing one of them had made me terrified as cold chills ran through my spines.After kicking off the bowl the old seeker had placed my son in readiness for the sacrifice, I turned around to leave. They were fast asleep, so they were oblivious of what was happening around them. “This way." One of Gregory's soldiers said, steering me down a path which led out of the Seekers lair.The moment I stepped out into the bright night, I saw them. Gregory was standing tall with blood dripping down one side of his face while Davies stood behind him. “Raze down the cave." Davies commanded and immediately, the night erupted into bright flames. Still clutching my kids
Alpha Gregory’s POVFinally, it was the day of the ritual.Stephanie and the kids were finally going to return to me once more.All through the day, I was giddy with excitement that I couldn't sit still. The prospect of having my family back after several days was too good to be true that I couldn't think of anything else.“You should get some rest, it's going to be a long night." Davies had said to me countless times but I always shoved his words to the side. An hour before the ritual would begin, Davies and I went over our plans with our allies for the last time before we ventured into the dark night. The closer we got to the lair, the thicker the tension in the air. I bet I was the only one feeling this way because Davies and the others were unfazed. The Lycans moved in silence, their eyes glowing in the dark and their claws were extended and ready for the bloodshed to come. The Dragons towered above the
Stephanie's POVResting my back against the cold wall, I had my knees pulled up to my chin with my eyes all over the place. The only thing I could think about were my kids. Ever since we got abducted, I haven't been allowed to see them. Their incessant cries were the only thing that gave me hope that they were alive, nothing more. Holding my breath, I tried to pull myself to my feet but I couldn't as I was cramped. I have been confined to this little space and so I didn't have enough space to move my legs about. What should I do now? I was the seekers' target and not the kids. If anything happens to my innocent children, I will never be able to forgive myself.Suddenly, the sound of approaching footsteps in the hallway came to an end and almost immediately, the door creaked open and one of the seekers stepped in. Scrambling to my feet, I asked, “My kids, how are they? You said you were going to check with
Davies's POV With my hands tucked inside my pockets, I fixed my gaze on the flickering flames of the fireplace in my study. The room was warm, yet I felt cold. It wouldn't be long before I become completely frozen. Instead of going to meet Gregory in his pack, I had invited him over so we could plan on how to take down the seekers once and for all. It took us several hours but still, we have been unable to come up with something solid. Just when it seemed like we were getting a breakthrough, there would be an obstacle or a loophole that would leave us with no choice but to start all over again. The truth was, there was no perfect plan but of course, there was one which could be regarded as almost perfect. Infiltrating the seekers' hideout was the plan and unlike the last time when I was the only one who needed to be rescued, three delicate lives were on the line. And we intend to save them all.
Davies's POV It was getting more messy. Gregory was losing his head and as if that was not enough, he had resumed blaming me for being behind Stephanie's and the kid's abduction. Clasping my hands, I leaned against the window pane, allowing my eyes to travel the distance as different thoughts swirled around my head.It had been confirmed that the seekers had them but no matter how much I tried, I just couldn't locate their hiding place. Just when I was about to go berserk and kick things into the air, an idea struck and it sounded like the breakthrough I wanted. Instead of staying in the shadows and searching for the seekers current location, I will put myself out there so they will know what I was up to. My plan clicked and in less than twenty four hours, I was invited by the head of the seekers.Without wasting time, I embarked on the journey and on arrival since I was being expected, I was led right int
Alpha Gregory's POV With each passing day, the hope of seeing Stephanie and the kids was getting thinner but I wasn't going to give up until I found them. Most times, I couldn't help but blame myself for getting involved with Davies. If only I hadn't agreed to her request of going to rescue him when he was at the seekers' lair, this wouldn’t have happened. My family is going to remain intact and we will have nothing to worry about. A few minutes ago, Frank had stepped out to meet with Davies who had just arrived at the pack house. I had intentionally refused to meet with him because I didn't trust myself.Each time I saw him, I would become furious since I considered him the architect of my woes but I never said that to him directly. Falling back on the couch, I tossed my head backwards, allowing a low wince to escape from my lips. I hope you’re fine, hang on, I will come and get you very soon, I promise. – I thought, my heart constricting against my chest. The scenario I was g
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.
