Alpha Gregory's POVIt was so hard for me to bring that woman back. I knew that Ava wouldn't be happy with this being that I had promised to marry her but then I needed an offspring. As an Alpha I needed someone who would take over my duty and all the things I've worked hard for.I was very glad when I was told that that woman I mistakenly slept with was pregnant at least that would fasten the process. Once she gives birth to the pup in her I can send her back to the hole she crawled out from.But there was something very strange. When I went to pick her up, she was with some men. Why would a woman be camping with three men? In fact they were strange men because I couldn't catch their smell. But the one that growled was definitely someone powerful. I could feel the extent of his powers surging out from his growl.As I realized that the woman carrying my child was with three men, I got angry and anxious. Did she sleep with any of those men with my
Stephanie's POVI didn't even know I was so tired with the way I slept off after having a nice bath. I missed sleeping in bed so much.When I opened my eyes, I saw the Alpha standing in the room looking at me. I sat up slowly and rubbed the sleep off my face.I wondered what he was doing there looking at me. I was quite uncomfortable with the way he was looking at me. As Alpha Gregory's piercing gaze met mine, the air in the room seemed to be clouded with sensuality. I swallowed hard as my eyes kept taking in his chiseled features that seem to accentuate the sharp lines of his jaw and the curve of his lips. The atmosphere was becoming electric as my heart was pounding endlessly.I hate the mate bond!I felt my heart skip a beat as he took a step closer, his eyes never leaving mine. The scent of wood smoke and leather wafted through the air, mingling with the Alpha Gregory's intoxicating aroma.The room seemed to fade away, leaving only the two
Stephanie POV A lot of questions were running through my mind but then I did not have the courage to ask him. "Ava will come to get you all that you need for now. You can tell her anything you want and she will tell me. I'm busy lately and when I'm less busy I will come see you okay," he said firmly.His voice was dry like I had offended him. This wasn't the man that was pleading for me to go with him. "You don't need to bother anyone to take care of me. I can do that myself," I said.I didn't want too many people around me. Then something came to my mind. "The woman he was talking about wasn't the woman he loved, right?" Leila asked, getting furious.I kept silent. " It shouldn't be. He wouldn't be so stupid to entrust you to the hands of his concubine, " Leila disagreed without listening to me.I knew that Alpha Gregory had a woman he so much cared about and that was the reason he rejected me in the first place. Could it be her? "No, A
AVA'S POVWhen I heard that Jasper had gone to look for the mate he had rejected, I was so sad. I had thought that her leaving the pack would be the end of it. I didn't know why he was searching for her but when I learnt that she was pregnant, I knew it was because of that. That alone almost made me mad. With her pregnancy, I could lose everything to her. The elders never really liked me and they were the ones who kept objecting to Gregory's marriage to me. I wished I could kill them all one after the other. Besides, I can't afford for someone else to take over Gregory's affection. That wasn't part of the plan. I have been with Gregory for a while now and I was already seen as his woman. Sharing him with another woman was like cutting my skin off while I was conscious.It was going to ruin my plans for Gregory and the pack. This woman was a threat. But then I could also see that she was stubborn. I needed to teach her a lesson.I felt unhapp
Davies' POVI still couldn't get over Stephanie and how she left me for the man who had once rejected her. I had flown so high in the sky that I terrified many birds. I didn't mean to do it but all that was on my mind was the pain I was going through. I didn't even return until late at night."Let's get going," I said to my men the moment I landed back on my feet. They were also ready for me. None of them questioned me, they just let me know my thoughts.After we left the forest, a blue Range Rover was waiting for me and I entered without saying anything. I didn't even care about the one who brought the car. I just knew we were heading to my pack. Getting to my kingdom, people already gathered together for my arrival. I was very angry as I saw the people especially those annoying leaders that had made me take the decision of leaving. Now that they were in deep trouble they were waiting for me. I looked sternly at Kilan. They sure know how much I love
Davies’ POV All he was saying were unwanted questions to me. I just want to know what those people who were handpicking wanted. " What did you observe that was common about those people who had been taken?" Jason asked and that got them thinking. That was the exact question I needed an answer to. Jason never let me down in this type of situation. Anytime it's about investigation, I let Jason handle it. That's his forte and as calm as he was, he would fish the culprit out soon.That was the reason when they first came to me that someone was kidnapping my people, I wasn't bothered because I knew Jason was going to fix it. But later I got to know that Jason wasn't in the palace and that he has been secretly following me about.I was mad at first but then I let it go. I should have known that both Jason and Kilan were not someone I could send away from my side. They always act like glue and won't leave even if I almost kill them. "They are all adolescents," the head of the patrol,
Davies' POVJason and Kilan kept staring at me as I paced around anxiously. They must have thought I had gone insane because of a woman but then I knew what I saw and I was sure the feeling I had was very real.But truth be told, I was going insane because I wasn't close to her and didn't know what was going on with her. "You can't base your actions on just a dream, my lord. It's just a day that she left you, I am sure it's because you are sad that she left that was why you had that dream," Jason said politely.I wouldn't deny the fact that I was sad that she left and that I already miss her but I didn't think that was the reason that dream came. It was too real to be brought to my imagination."That's not true," I snapped.I was angry at them because they were only stopping me because of what I came to the Kingdom to do. But then I can't forgive myself if anything happens to Stephanie. I just can't."What if you go there and she doesn't want to see you? It would be like you are inv
Stephanie's POVThings were beginning to get good for me. Ava wasn't the brutal one has I thought she was. She took care of me and my baby. We went shopping and gave me a lot of jewellery. I wasn't moved by what she gave me but by her kind heart. Alpha Gregory had come to visit me and I told him how kind Ava was."I told you she was going to take care of you," he said with a little smile on his lips." I know you did Alpha but it was normal for me to think that she was going to be mean, knowing your relationship with her," I said.Ava had brought me ice cream that morning and I was very glad. I knew that I had made the right choice of not following Davies. For good six days I was taken care of. Sometimes, Alpha Gregory himself would take me for a walk and tell me about the pack. He had told me that Ava had scolded him for not coming to see me often being that I was carrying his child. I laughed. I told him that Ava was exaggerating and that she was just anxious about the baby. Alp
Stephanie's POV Instead of Davies walking through the door, it was Alpha Gregory who made his entrance, his presence intimidating as ever. “Stephanie, please forgive me." He assumed my earlier position. “I have wronged you and I don't deserve your forgiveness but please, overlook everything and let's start all over." “I promise to change this time around, I won't hurt you…” “You're funny." I laughed. “What about Ava, are you implying I should…” "Ava is a foe and not a friend. She is pure evil.” He clenched his fist by his side making me pity him but I shook off the emotion just as it came. “Go back to Ava." I snapped at him and was about to start heading towards the door when he grabbed my arm.Like a little child, he went about blabbing about how Ava betrayed him and was working with her father who wanted him dead. Left with no choice, I accepted him but still, I was battling with the fact that I betraye
Stephanie's POV I let him have me as I gave myself to him all through the night. At the end of it all, he fell asleep almost immediately. Taking this as the opportunity I had been yearning for, I quickly threw my clothes on. I tiptoed toward him, watching the rising and falling of his chest. I couldn't take my eyes off that mesmerizing face of his.And for a second I almost threw my decision aside. I bit my lips hard, trying to keep myself sane. Trying to tell myself that I was doing it for him and my unborn children. I can't afford to lose either of them.After one last look at him, I mumbled, “Remember me. Davies, I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive me." Twisting the lock of the door, I pulled it open and then took my leave. With tears streaming down my face, the tears that I couldn't hold back, I ran towards the secret hallway that leads to the garden.Luca was waiting for me according to our discussion. Nevert
Stephanie's POV It had been three days since the battle with the seekers and I must confess, it still gives me chills each time I think about it. I could literally see death right in front of me and the danger that I had subjected my baby to. Each time I thought of it, cold chills ran through my spines, giving me a rude awakening of my current state. After much back and forth with Davies about being restricted from moving about and being locked up in my room, he lifted the ban but at a distance, there was a pair of guards watching me. At that moment I was in the garden, sitting on the stump of a large tree with my hands folded in front of me. Earlier, I was skimming through a book but I soon lost concentration and now I was staring into space like a lost soul. The sound of dried leaves protesting when they were trampled on made me shoot my head upwards, only to see a maid approaching me. She stopped in f
Third POV The Oracles were fully prepared to take down the seekers, hence the fight between the opposing parties intensified to a greater level. When it became clearer to the seekers that no matter the amount of efforts that channeled into their fight, they wouldn't gain the upper hand, they began to retreat. Sensing this, The Oracles kept chasing after them until they sent all of them on their heels, thereby clearing the forest for Davies and Stephanie Trembling at the change of event, Stephanie grasped Davies fingers who wore a stoic expression. “Do you know about this?” She asked, her voice shaking and breath hitched. Davies shook his head in the negative, earning himself a nudge from Stephanie who found it hard to believe The Oracles were an equal match for The Seekers and so she believed that before he could solicit their help, there must have been a relationship with them. “I have no idea they wi
Third POV Stephanie was still thinking of how to escape all through the next three days. She couldn't bring herself to hurt Davies and the lycans. These people had treated her very well since she came to the Kingdom. “ You have been moody for a while, Lady Stephanie,” Kira's voice dragged her from her thoughts.Stephanie just smiled faintly, not ready to share her secret with anyone. After a few seconds of silence, Stephanie finally sighed.“ My lady, pull yourself together. The king wants to see you. He is in the royal forest…”Stephanie squinted, however she stood up reluctantly. “ Let's go.” She didn't want Davies to suspect her intention. She walked slowly toward the garden but Kira pointed at a path for her.“ Just follow the lane. I want to take care of something urgent, my lady.”With that Kira skipped away and Stephanie found herself walking toward the lane. Few minutes later, her eyes caugh
Stephanie's POV Still bothered with the conversation of the maids from earlier, I decided to pay a visit to Raina in the dungeon. Getting out of my chambers was a hassle as Davies had stationed two guards to be by the door, preventing me from leaving. Pacing about my chamber, I brainstormed on the perfect way to wriggle myself out but I couldn't think of anything. Just when I was about to give up, the door creaked open and my personal maid walked in with a tray of food. “The Alpha asked me to bring this to you.” She said, setting the tray on the bedside table. With a curt bow, she turned to leave. She was already at the door when I grabbed her arm, pulling her back into the center of the room. “Can you do me a favor?” I asked. Since she wasn't expecting such a request from me, it took a while before I got a consenting nod and a look of uncertainty from her. Relieved, I whispered my simple plan into her ear. Her eyes bulged out at my request and I could see hesitation on her s
Stephanie's POV It's been one week since Davies opened up to me. I was still worried about the seekers and the safety of my children. “Are you certain?” One of the maids in the clique asked and the tale bearer nodded to confirm her words. “I wonder who she is and why exactly he is hunting for her like she is a prey.” Another huffed. “Most Alpha’s think they have the world at the tip of their fingers, doing and undoing things whenever they like and how it pleases them.” She added with an eye roll. “ Why did you say so?” One of them asked.The maid cleared her throat before whispering. However, I noticed I could hear her clearly. It all began after taking Davies' blood. I felt my senses were sharper and I became even stronger. I haven't told Davies yet of these changes because I want to be sure.“ I heard he rejected the said lady because of his lover even when he found out she was his mate. So cruel….”“ Maybe he just realized his mistakes?” Another interjected which was followed
Third POV Raina kept creating a scene, yelling on the top of her voice to make Davies return to her side but he blocked his ears to her screams. Since he was unable to get anything meaningful from her, Davies returned to his Chambers to nurse his wounds. Dejected, he slowly lowered himself on the foot of his bed, his head buried in his hands as he let out multiple signs of frustration. A while before now, he believed he was finally getting to the point of breakthrough where he would put an end to the seekers. “She keeps getting on my nerves.” He sucked his teeth, pushing behind Raina’s image as he rubbed his hands together. Suddenly, he began to hear muffled voices in the hallway. Wondering what was going on, he stepped out of his chambers only to see Stephanie struggling with the guard. “You should be getting some rest, why?” He asked and at once the two warring individuals turned towards him. While the
DAVIES POVMaybe I celebrated too quickly because she immediately went stiff. The smile on her face slowly faded. Was she truly not accepting me?I could feel Draugluin brawling inside and I tried to stop its aura enveloping us. I couldn't scare her more than she did.“ The seekers…” she muttered, clutching her stomach tightly. I squinted at her reaction. Was she concerned about what Raina told her? “ Stephanie…”She suddenly blurted out, taking a step backward. “ I can accept you, Davies. I can accept Kylo and Draugluin too. But…. What about my child? The seekers would stop at nothing to…”I felt her worry. I felt her fear, afterall, no one can feel my predicament like me. I was torn between an identity I never bargained for and an identity I wanted so badly. The identity of Stephanie's mate, so I could spend my whole life with her. Without the fear of her rejecting me. But it seems the identity I never barg
