Davies POV I indeed regretted saying that to this cute tigress!Her face became pale and she quivered at the last words from my mouth. I could swear she would have spread her wings and fly away if only she was a bird. Or she would have gladly killed me with her eyes, if she could."Hey, don't be scared, I was just joking. We don't eat anyone and we live like normal humans," I rushed out, trying to pacify the goddess before me.Why on earth would someone be so gullible? We are definitely not cannibals that eats human. If she was ever told that, it was because she always suspects them too much.She gave me a suspicious look. I wanted to take her hand but she moved away from me and I looked at her trying hard not to laugh.“ You don't expect me to eat my own child, do you?" I asked, raising my brow.There was a frown on her face and I was dying to tap into her mindlink to hear whatever she was harboring there. Unfortunately, we weren't bonded yet.“ Your-child?" She asked, her eyes sear
Davie's POV Was she a cannibal? “ Be a gentleman when you are with a lady," she said, smirking. I can't believe she bit my lips for making her feel good.“ Shouldn't you also be a lady and enjoy the kiss?" I asked, smiling faintly.I love how fierce she is, even if she cuts off my perfect kiss. Then I heard her asking again, about what I can do about the heat.I hesitated before I replied to her." Use magic.”She didn't say anything for a while and when I was sure she was going to object, she talked." Are you sure it would be safe?” She asked.There was a little uncertainty in her eyes. " Don't worry, you'll get used to me when we are fully mated,” I didn't dare to say those words aloud. She would have my neck, I was sure of it. I nodded before I started to chant a few words and soon water started to gather from nowhere before she could know what was happening, we had a large river in front of us. This I had wanted to do before but I didn't want to scare her. Stephanie stared
Stephanie's POVDavies was becoming more and more annoying. How could he say that to me? He just called me ugly, again!I felt like killing him. He was definitely going down with what he was saying. Does he regret being mated to me? I know he would have wanted a very beautiful Lycan woman to be his mate and not a werewolf who seemed powerless and homeless.But I was beautiful. I know I was a beauty to behold. I might not be powerful but beauty was one of my strong traits. Too bad I was being paired to blind bats as mates! With a smirk and a newfound determination, I planned to deal with the him. Although I was very shy, I pulled my clothes. Could you believe that fucking Davies dared to turn away? But before he turned around, I caught his face turning crimson red while his gaze was filled with lust.What an hypocrite!I got into the cold water and every part of me was grateful for the peace the water brought. Even if I didn't get anything and a very mean man had talked my body down
Stephanie POVI didn't expect him to answer me truthfully because he wasn't obliged to. Not even when I had gotten so mad and said mean words to him but he did."I went to check the fog. I need more details for me to be able to get rid of it," he replied.I felt guilty for thinking he disappeared because he was making fun of me."You should have told me," I said looking down at my hands that were inside the water. "Seeing you enjoying the water, I didn't want to disturb your swim. I thought you wouldn't notice that I was gone," he replied." Sorry I did," I said shyly.He chuckled at what I said. "We should get out of the water," he said and stood up showing me his abs.Wow! That was mouthwatering but I wouldn't dare look down so as not to run into deeper trouble, so I quickly closed my eyes.Davies chuckled softly. "Why are you acting like you've not seen a naked man before? At least, our baby is an evidence," he said in mockery.I wouldn't blame him for thinking that way but I did
Stephanie's POV "Mysterious?" He snorted. "Why do you think I'm mysterious?" The way he was looking at me showed that he was mocking me.I was glad that he didn't find my words offensive, rather he was amused by it. Just as I was about to talk, I saw Kilan coming towards us."Your friend is coming," I called Davie's attention." Yes I told him to bring us a drink since you won't allow me to use magic, " he said not even looking at Kilan's direction.I wondered when he called Kilan because he wasn't on the phone or anything. In fact, since I've met him, I've not seen them with any gadgets and in this century, gadgets are numerous. I had left mine at my small room because I didn't want anyone knowing where I was headed to."Here's it, sir," Kilan said when he got to us.He didn't even act as if he saw me there. Heron pointed to where he was going to place the drink and then Kilan left without hesitation.Till now I'm still wondering what was the relationship between those three. Since
Stephanie POV I bit my lips hard as my mind ran in different directions. If he was angry, would he hurt me? With my heart racing in different directions, I began to panicked until I heard the voice of my wolf."Is he taking us somewhere?" My wolf, Laila, asked curiously.I was just as curious as she was but I made sure to hide mine. "I don't read minds, Laila" I said as I stared at his hand that was right in front of me."He might want to-""Can you let me be, Laila? I'm still trying to figure this man out. Don't add to my trouble" I snapped at her.Laila can be a curious cat at times and it's always a pain in my ass. She had not once or twice made me run into trouble with her curiosity. " Come on, I am trying to help here," she said with a pout." Yeah… I can see that…" I responded with an eye roll before blocking her.After a second of silence from within, I hesitated for a while before I took Davie's hand. He held my hand and started to lead me along a path. At first, I had tho
Stephanie's POVOpening my eyes, only for me to see the most beautiful sight of my life. It was as if he teleported into the land of the fairies. Standing before me was a valley filled with flowers of different kinds and colours. The place was brightened up by its beauty and I stood in awe, staring amazingly at the beauty of nature. An exclamation escaped from my mouth and walked slowly into the beautiful garden, staring at the beauty of the place. The fragrance coming from those beautiful flowers was intoxicating me and building a tower of satisfaction around me. I haven't felt like this in ages. I was never opportune to be close to such a beautiful garden because they are mostly for the wealthy and seeing this, I had butterflies in my stomach. "Oh my goodness! Did we visit heaven?" Laila suddenly exclaimed."I think so," I replied to her as I walked slowly, touching all the flowers."I don't want to leave anymore," she said with emotion rushing through her. "Me too," I agreed.
Stephanie POV I looked at the direction the growls came from and my feet wobbled. Rogues!Davies held me tightly, preventing me from falling to the ground. They were snarling aggressively towards us.I looked at Davies and I saw that he stood there unbothered. I might be angry with him but I don't want him to get hurt. These rogues were troublesome and mostly moved around in huge numbers. "We need to leave," I said to him."We are going nowhere. I'm not afraid of them," he said calmly. Davies definitely trusted his magic more but he would be doing more harm to himself if he uses his magic all the time. He would be the target of a lot of people and he might end up dying."Don't put too much confidence in your magic. I'm sure there are people better at it than you, " I said to him.By the time I was done talking the rogues were already closer to us and I saw that they were almost twenty. If they are hungry rogues, they might want to feed on us. Rogue are the heartless part of the w
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.
