Davie's Pov
Her skin was flawless and even when her eyes were shut closed, her beauty was overboards. Her eyelashes and pointed nose made my wolf dangle, her lips were more alluring and I almost leaned down to kiss her. I have never seen anyone as beautiful as her. Her beauty made my heart melt and it moved me in a way that was hard to explain that she was a wolf. Her beauty radiated like that of a mermaid. But then, she was a werewolf, a species different from mine and it made it difficult for me to believe I was mated to her. I couldn't hold myself back from pulling her into a hug and I did. Her soft skin melted to my bare core and a soft groan came out of me. How could we have this huge connection? We were mated but it was as if meeting her was adding something I've long lost inside of me. She completes me, especially after the steaming night together. I waited patiently for her to wake up. She was an Omega, I could sense it and there was one thing I still didn't want to believe was inside of her. I could sense a life living in her. She was pregnant. It couldn't be that fast, right? And if the child wasn't mine, then who was it? Has she been having an affair with someone else since she couldn't find me, her mate? Have we found each other too late that she couldn't wait and had to wait for someone else? I was confused as well agitated. Nevertheless, that wasn't stopping me from making her mine. I care not if she had another life in her, all I care about was to have her as mine. She had filled me up and letting her go was letting something that had made me feel fulfilled leave which was going to be difficult for me to do. I watched her breathe steadily while wrapped under my arms, thinking of how she had ended up in the woods all alone with her bags. Was she running away from her pack? If so, why? It was when the sun rose in the east that her hands began to move a bit. I still waited till her eyes opened up and she tried to loosen herself from my grip which I let her succeed in doing while I helped her slowly to a sitting position. As soon as her sleep was off her face, she swirled her head around to face me and moved backward, wearing a scared expression on her countenance. I had to voice out, "Come, give me your hand." I stretched mine forward to her but the look on her face described how reluctant to face me. There was this fear etched on her face. I sighed as I had no choice but to come clean with my identity. "You don't have to be afraid. I'm a Lycan but I won't hurt you. Not when I know you're my mate," I assured her but she was still adamant. We both stared deeply at each other while I was calm for her to say a word but nothing was coming from her. She just sat there looking at me. When the waiting was too much, I decided to do the talking, definitely she would let out something. I started, "You should have known now that I am your mate and I am glad to tell you that I accept you no matter who you are. I'm never going to harm or cause you any danger because I've found you to be part of my life. I'm going to protect you and keep you, most especially our child. Yes, I know you're_" " Child? How is that possible?” she asked, looking confused. “ You must have known I am not a werewolf. I am a special breed of Lycans and I have the ability to smell a life even if it's just a minute old," I said, staring at her. Seeing how shaken she was on my identity as a Lycan, I couldn't bring myself to let her know I was also an hybrid. A special kind of hybrid. I was scared of losing her... But right now, at the mention of the child, she looked confused, too confused. Could it be that I was right? Could it be that the child was not mine? Unfortunately, I can't determine the actual time of pregnancy. I could only smell the new life when I woke up. "I can't be with you," she suddenly voiced out as expected, her voice added cheer to the most dreary part of me. I shook my head, "You can. You're my mate and you are carrying my child_" "Stop the thing of me being your mate! I'm your mate doesn't mean I want to be with you! And how the fuck do you know the child is yours?” She snapped, sounding even more agitated. " I don't care…" “ Please, stop! You can as well stop pretending and reject me!" She snapped again and tried to raise herself from the ground but she stumbled against my leg and came crumbling on my body again. I held her tight to myself, not wanting her to stand up again while I continued to promise her to give her a change of heart. "You need to be calm and listen to me. I'm Heron and I am a Lycan but that doesn't change the fact that we're mates…" I paused when she choked on her tears. Instantly, I raised her up and held her to face me only to see she was already dropping tears. "I'm not ready to be your mate," she said with so much sadness written over her face. She continued before I could even say a word. "I'm running from home and I'm pregnant with a child after being f*ucked by my mates. I am pregnant with another man's child! How possible is it for you to accept me?" She inquired.Stephanie POVI woke up with a start, the lingering scent of the man of last night hitting me hard. It was a rather peculiar scent, not the usual werewolf kind of scent.The face of my strange mate was the first thing I saw. Who exactly has the moon goddess mated me with this time around? Can I really trust this strange man? I would have trusted him because he was my mate but then my last mate hurt me badly. This made me know that mates can't be trusted. Moreover I didn't know who he was. His scent was too strange to be a werewolf. Not until he told me who he was.A Lycan. That wasn't the only thing he told me. I was quite taken aback when he mentioned I was pregnant. It was just barely five days since I slept with both my mates.How could I be pregnant?In anger I told him off because I was getting fed up. I was fucking pregnant without knowing who actually got me pregnant. But then it was likely Alpha Gregory, right?I tried to stand up and start to leave. Although I didn't know
Stephanie POV The man looked at me for a while before he looked ahead of me. I also looked at them and wondered why they can't just let me be. Just as I wanted to tell him that I don't know them, I saw him bow. I was shocked at first and I wondered how he knew the dragons."I'm done with the meals," he said. The aroma of his food filled the whole place and my stomach reminded me that it was empty and I needed to fill it. That was when realization was done on me that I had walked into my strange mate camp. While I was trying to avoid them, I still walked with my legs to their camp. I bit my lower lip in regret but I didn't want to leave. The aroma of the food was just too much to resist for me to leave. "Feed the woman first," Davies said as if he knew I was hungry and walked away.I wondered if he could read minds or I was too obvious that I was already salivating at the aroma of the food I didn't even know. The guy standing was looking at me strangely. He must have been wonderin
Stephanie POV What the hell? How could he bluntly tell me that? Was he trying to embarrass me?“ Don't you dare repeat that!" I snapped at him. With a shrug while putting on a faint smile, he simply replied, "Fine! I'm not going to force you to accept our mating bond but at least survive. Inviting you into my camp isn't because I wanted anything to do with you again.” “ You-!" I stuttered at his pride.Waving his hand with a sigh, he continued," Last night was out of compulsion. I won't force myself on any woman willingly. I can have as many females I want, as long as I want them..."His pride irritated me, I swear!" Such arrogance for someone that was begging me!” I muttered under my breath. But then I couldn't help but agree with his arrogance. He was damn right. One look at him would make any woman throw herself at him. His long white hair was braided into three long strands making his chisel face stand out aside from his luscious lips.He was practically a devilish beauty to
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 had to 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
Davies’ POVI couldn't be less happy finding my mate. Being a Dragon wolf, I was a little shocked that my mate was a mere werewolf. Dragons hardly have werewolves as mates. At most, we can be mated to higher wolves like Lycans but it's a taboo.I was a taboo too.I had been living peacefully away from my people until the Seekers found my whereabouts some months back. This time, they wanted something from me. They wanted a hybrid with my blood and the blood of a Seeker.They wanted to rule the world… and I wasn't ready to give it to them.They poisoned me with an aphrodisiac, so I could mate with the princess of the Seekers Clan. Fortunately, the moon goddess gave me my mate just when I needed her.I looked at the woman sleeping on the floor and I smiled. She was my saving grace or else I might have been mated to the princess of the Seekers. The only thing I wasn't so sure was the pup in her, was it mine? She wasn't looking pregnant but with my magic I could see the pup in her. I sl
Davies POV I didn't need to turn around to know who it was. The moon goddess surely gave me a fierce one! My words haven't left my mouth when I heard someone query me. That feminine voice belongs to none other than my mate." What are you trying to do, Mr. Lycan?"And here we go again, I sighed at the fierceness of my mate. The look in her eyes wasn't pleasant. She was looking so angry."Are you capturing me?" She asked with a harsh tone.I raised a brow. " Why would I do that?""For your own selfish interest I think. You better raise that thing you put there because I am getting out of this place," she ordered.No one had dared to order me around. Jason and Kilan were looking at how calm I was towards the woman. Well, I haven't gotten the time to tell them who she was to me."I don't think that's a good idea," I was still very calm." Why not? Is it because you want to hold me captive? Look here man, I don't care who you are and what you think I am to you. I have the right to decide
Stephanie POVI made up my mind to take the initiative of rejecting him. I needed to stay away from him. That was my final decision, but before then, I needed to sleep.Reluctantly, I lay on the floor to catch a quick sleep before strategizing on how to leave this place.Strangely, I had woken up to find myself on Davie's bed. I was sure I didn't climb to the bed by myself. I quickly checked to see if he had taken advantage of my tiredness but all my clothes were intact.Determined that I won't stay any longer with them, I walked out of the tent ready to leave but then I saw Davies casting a spell. I saw a very thick fog covering the place.What the hell was he up to? I squinted when I realized he was chanting an incantation. Not just that, I could feel a thick fog enveloping the whole place." What are you trying to do? " I asked furiously. I could swear that he was up to no good and if I was correct, he was trying to keep me captive.I glared at him as I realized his plot. Did he
Stephanie's POV " Help? " The scary Kilan asked, his gaze burning right through me. Were these guys just Lycans? Why do I seem to sense an even greater aura around them?A scary and eerie aura.I moved back again, feeling like being engulfed in a furnace of dragons fire breath.“ You- you don't need to scare me. At least, I deserve to know-" " Scare you? You were warned not to go into the fog, weren't you? He fucking warned you! Yet, you stubbornly got in, thinking everyone is after your pathetic life! You are not worth his toe nail, bi-”" Stop it, Kilan. Lord Davies wouldn't want-”" Shut up, Jason. She deserves to know what she fucking did!”" That doesn't mean you have to curse her-”" Fine! You want to know what you did?” Kilan spat out, staring at me.I don't know why I tolerated his belittling words. I just can't understand why I was having a guilty conscience, yet I want to know the truth. What exactly happened in the fog?“ In order to save you, he went into the fog knowing
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
