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
Stephanie's POV “ Stop! Please, stop!"I was so devastated and shook with fright at the scene unfolding before me. My screaming seems to have made its way to Davies because I no longer hear the breaking of bones.By the time I was able to calm myself down and look to see if Davies listened to me, I saw that the rogues had escaped and those remaining were the dead ones and their blood all over the flowers.Davies already changed back into his normal self and he was looking at me. I didn't want to accept what I just saw. He's definitely kidding me. I stood there looking at him before I could find my voice to talk."Are you a Lycan or what? Who the hell are you?" I asked even though I didn't want to believe it.I knew him as a Lycan, not a dragon. "Yes,"he replied nonchalantly.“ Yes what? A dragon?" I looked at the dead rogues once again before staring back at him. My heart was beating so fast."Yes," he replied.This time around he was also looking at me. His eyes were so focused
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 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 have gi
Stephanie's POVSince I couldn't go anywhere, I stood in front of his tent trying to peep inside. I still have a few days to stay here until the fog clears and I wasn't ready to cross Davies all over again.For a while, I was confused and a little frustrated. As much as he had gotten angry with me on a few occasions, this was different. I have truly gotten on his nerves this time around.I don't know what to do to pacify him or even trip off the guilt inside me. Darting my eyes around, I bit my lower lip nervously while pacing in front of his tent.With calculated faltered steps, I absentmindedly bite my nails before clasping my hands together."You've finally succeeded in getting him angry. What are you going to do now?" Laila questioned, her voice sounding accusatory to me.“ Are you his wolf or mine? Why do you keep switching between hot and cold?" I questioned, venting my frustration at her.Even though I was nervous I was still angry at her. As if she also wasn't scared when sh
Stephanie's POV “ Yes. It isn't magic, like you want to believe," he said, firmly. Even though I doubted him, I didn't want to argue with him. I nodded my head but did not say a word, I was scared of talking. "Hey, tell me what to do," I called Laila." I'm thinking," she said.We sat there and none of us said a word for a while which was getting me more nervous. I had apologised but he didn't acknowledge it. Was he planning to be mad at me till we go our separate ways? That thought got my heart beating fast.Davies stood up from the bed and turned his back to me and staring at me was a big tattoo on his back.It was a tattoo of a large dragon with the scariest blue eyes. That dragon looked so real and vicious and I wondered why he would draw such a tattoo on his back. But something wasn't right. I had seen him naked in the water but I didn't notice any tattoo on his back. Did he in
Stephanie's POV I listened with rapt attention as he talked about his people, at least he was talking to me and I was glad. But then something was off. Why was he talking as if he's some sort of royalty? "So will you continue your tour after now?" I asked.It's obvious that such a powerful man was moving around, he must definitely be looking for something. I was really sure about that. "No," he shook his head. "After getting you settled down in a new pack, I will return to mine and settle there with my people. I've had enough of the tour. My people need me," he replied. After hearing him say those things, I became anxious and wanted to know more about him and his people. "Your parents will be happy to see you back to them," I said smiling.That was my assumption and a scope to ask about his parents because I don't think he would be in a good relationship with his parents and he would be having a tour for years. They must have been very sad. He hissed and stared at me with those
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
