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
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
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
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
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 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 PovI stood at the entrance of the gate, my heart beating uncontrollably at the enormous sight. It was a place I never dreamt I could come to but an unexpected call brought me to the gate of our Alpha.Alpha Gregory, a monster feared by all. I grasped tightly at my bag, wishing I had refused the offer but then I had no choice. There were bills to pay. The gate was slowly opened and a burly guard that looked more like an assassin beckoned to me. I walked briskly toward him and told him the reason I was there.The burly guard insisted I wait so they could confirm if truly I was asked to come to the palace as the children tutor by the beta's wife. I waited for almost ten minutes before one of the guards, who seemed like their head, signaled his hands, telling his colleagues to let me in. "Hurry up!" The burly guard yelled when I started to take slow strides into the pack house. It was as if I was entering into a furnace of fire. The same way I was excited was the same way
Alpha Gregory's Pov"Alpha, the beta sent words that they are already at the border”I raised my head with a scowl. This wasn't the time for inspection. I was trying to control myself for the past hour and now it can't get worse!I could feel the fear and dread in his voice as he walked into my chamber with his head bowed deeply. I turned around to face him. They always shiver at my presence, not that I give a damn but today I was getting irritated.I needed to see Ava. That old fool could have told me the potion works very fast. I could have called her over earlier. "Get me the Luna. Tell her I need to see her this minute," I ordered, wanting Ava as soon as possible. I was finding it difficult to control my emotions. "Yes, Alpha," he pronounced and turned to leave.I hurried to my chamber, my body getting hotter with each passing second. Tonight was my only chance to make the pack accept her as my chosen mate.“ Where are you, Ava?" I muttered, pulling off my tie.I roamed around t

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
