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 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
Stephanie's POV Standing behind the cot of my children, my heart fluttered as a permanent smile remained on my lips. They were so adorable and I wouldn't mind spending the whole day watching my little darlings I had vowed to nurture into great men. “My lady, it's time to have your bath so we can proceed for breakfast." Sarah spoke from the door. When I didn't give her a response, she closed the distance between us and with her hand resting tenderly on mine, she asked, “Are you skipping breakfast today?" Nodding at the twins, she added, “They are hard suckers, you need to eat a lot to withstand them." Swirling to face her, I mouthed, “Aren't they beautiful?" “Yes, they are. They are both adorable." “Who do you think will take after me?"She was about to answer when the door creaked open and Alpha Gregory walked in. “Excuse me." She took her leave, leaving me with Gregory who was already beside me and the kids.“I will look after them, go and have a bath." He tried to steer me
Stephanie's POVThe sound of hurried footsteps made my eyes flicker open and at once I sat up.Recalling what happened before darkness took over, I was staring into space but the noise from outside took over my reasoning. Davies? I had seen Davies at the borders before I passed out. Was I back at his pack? What is he going to do with me?Throwing my feet off the bed, I scurried towards the door, my heart pounding in my chest as dread settled over me. Something was wrong and I wonder what it was. Realizing I was still in Alpha Gregory's pack, I exhaled in relief.The pack members, have they finally reached the decision of throwing me out? — I pondered but I waved the thought off almost immediately. The sound beyond the door was more like that of a battle cry. “There are rouges at the borders. They are going to infiltrate the pack." The moment I heard this, I yanked the door open, allowing my eyes to roam through the hallway which was in chaos. “Ava, she is not dead. She is at
Gregory’s POVI was shocked to see Ava at the borders instead of the rogues like I was informed. She didn't come for negotiations, she was here for revenge and to make that happen, she came with a sorcerer who cast spells on my armies before doing the same to me. Fighting against the sorcerer's magic was like I was fighting against a demon which was triple my size. His magic was like I was being whipped with fire that scotched my skin and left a burning sensation in my veins. The sorcerer continued tormenting me, giving me no time to breathe as the pain came hitting me in bolts. Gritting my teeth amidst the pain, I struggled to remain on my feet. My armies were frozen, I couldn't afford to fall when the whole life of my pack depended on me. And then, there was Stephanie and our child whom I had vowed to protect.With this in mind, I continued fighting against the magic but I was losing strength.
Ava's POVSatisfied with the manipulations of the pack members, I decided to move to my next plan and that was confronting Alpha Gregory. I wasn't going to do it alone, I was going to do it with the aid of a powerful sorcerer as it wasn't going to be easy if I handled it myself. Standing at the borders next to the sorcerer, I placed my hand on my dagger which was strapped firmly around my waist. With the alarm of rogues at the borders, Alpha Gregory was going to leave whatever he was doing and find his way here. Several times I have heard him talk about the safety of his pack being one of his priorities and not only that, he had demonstrated countlessly. Today was not going to be any different. The aura from the sorcerer next to me gave me so much confidence. He was tagged the best and that's why I chose to form an alliance with him knowing I wasn't going to regret my actions.The air was thick with the sc
