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 Davies 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
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.
