Stephanie POV
“I understand how you feel, I mean…” He halted only to continue almost immediately.“Trust me, I won't be angry with any decision you take.” He shrugged. “If I was in your place, I would make the right decision…”“And that is?” I halted him, staring deep into his eyes.Shaking his head slowly, he began to struggle with his words as he kept darting his eyes about.“You're going to find it hard to let go, right?” I didn't wait for his response before I began to go on and on with my words.“Right now, I just can't. It's hard and… I really just can't.” I broke down in tears.Using his thumb to wipe the tears rolling down my cheeks, he edged closer, “Then, let's do this, together.”“I will make sure I protect you.” He added, his tone more stronger and firm than earlier.Smiling at his soothing words, I nodded, slowly wrapping my hands around his neck, pulling him to myself. Ignoring thStephanie 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 I stared dumbfounded at him, his voice booming through the room as hatred brimmed inside. Didn't he feel the mate bond just like I did? I can't believe I slept with him without thinking. But he was my mate, right? Tears rolled down my cheeks in pain. Tears of being innocent and as well guilty of my action. What if I didn't accept to come to the pack house? Would everything have been different? "What the hell were you looking for in the Alpha's chamber?!" An angry feminine voice rang into my ear in rage.I didn't need to look up before guessing who it might be. She must be the Alpha's renowned substitute Luna, Ava. I felt broken and hurt, once more. I watched as my so-called mate went to her side, ignoring me while his mistress lashed out at me. "Speak up, you whore!" She added and the guard that was beside me gripped me by my hair, raising my head to look at the raging faces in front of me. I watched him looking at me with disgust. His powerful aura sweeping all
Stephanie POV I needed to look for a way out so I started running through the woods, unable to tell my actual direction. Though hoping to see a pack soon.It was not too long when I heard the terrifying growl accompanied by a unique scent. Instantly, I came to an abrupt end. I roamed my eyes around the woods to see if anyone was following but no one in sight.I paused again because my legs couldn't just move any longer. It was as if I was craving danger if I took more steps. I let out a heavy breath as I turned around and began to trace the scent which became thicker until I finally found where it was coming from. It was from a cave nearby. I moved stealthily inside until I got to an empty space where someone was groaning. It was a man with a powerful aura, even more than Alpha Gregory. I wanted to leave but then that same scent hit me and I couldn't stop myself from drawing closer to the strange man.“ Are you alright, mister?" I asked, trying to figure out his face.“ Help me… I
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
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
Stephanie POV “I understand how you feel, I mean…” He halted only to continue almost immediately. “Trust me, I won't be angry with any decision you take.” He shrugged. “If I was in your place, I would make the right decision…” “And that is?” I halted him, staring deep into his eyes. Shaking his head slowly, he began to struggle with his words as he kept darting his eyes about. “You're going to find it hard to let go, right?” I didn't wait for his response before I began to go on and on with my words. “Right now, I just can't. It's hard and… I really just can't.” I broke down in tears. Using his thumb to wipe the tears rolling down my cheeks, he edged closer, “Then, let's do this, together.” “I will make sure I protect you.” He added, his tone more stronger and firm than earlier. Smiling at his soothing words, I nodded, slowly wrapping my hands around his neck, pulling him to myself. Ignoring th
Stephanie's POV “ Tell me who you truly are, Davies. Why are the Seekers after you?” I asked, breaking away from the kiss.Davies took in a deep breath as if contemplating on the words to use. I know I should have let it go but this concerns our lives together. If he was a special hybrid, was I safe with him?“ I am a dragon Lycan. A lycan with the blood of a true dragon. The Seekers are after my blood. Only few know of my true blood and they were the ones that sold me out.”I listened to his explanation and why the Seekers wanted him. I heard his words clearly and I understood what it means to be who he was. I could feel his pain and the trauma he must have gone through. I was ready to fight for him, fight for our love.But something kept tugging at my heart.I stared at the gorgeous man, realising why he was so beautiful. He was a rare species, higher than my breed and even half of his breed. I could feel his struggle to be ac
Alpha Gregory's Three days later…The waiting period of the test result was grueling. It seems like it has been a year already when it has been barely three days since my last talk with Alpha Thompson.At intervals, I found myself studying Ava more carefully than I have ever done, still I couldn't find anything different. She looks so innocent. “I have to reach out to him, I can't sit back any longer.” I noted. It wasn't long after I made this decision that a soft knock rang across the room, causing me to shift my gaze to the door. A second later, the door creaked open, revealing a guard who was holding a brown envelope that had an official emblem. “Where did you get that from?” I spurted, almost tearing open the envelope with my eyes. “It came from Alpha Thompson.” He replied, pushing his hand forward. “It seemed urgent so he asked me to get it delivered immediately.” He added in a bre
Alpha Gregory's For more than ten minutes, I remained in the same position, staring into space and not the picture I was holding onto.“This can't be real.” I muttered, biting my lower lips as my heart rammed against my chest in a quick succession. Now grasping the picture with both hands, I didn't take my eyes off it even for a split second; my full attention on it. The conflicting thoughts in my head continued to throw me unbalanced as it was hard to believe what I had just been fed with. I felt like I'd been punched in the gut, my breath knocked out of me. The picture in my hands seemed to burn with a fire that threatened to consume me whole. My Ava, my lover, my... traitor?I couldn't wrap my head around it. The thought of Ava, with her bright smile and sparkling eyes, being a traitor, was too much to bear. I felt like I was living in a nightmare, and I couldn't wake up.Memories of our time together fl
DAVIES POVAs soon as I caught her in my arms, Kylo was distracted and I was able to take over again. I truly wanted to scold him but then it wasn't his fault. Afterall, I was also struggling to fight my emotions around Stephanie. Even in her current state, the frightened look still lingered and this made me furious. In anger, I snapped at Kylo, “You see what you’ve caused.” I ratted out in anger. “You always want your way and won't stop until you get what you want, take a look at the repercussions.” Non stop, I continued to lash out at Kylo since all these happened because of him. I could feel his guilt but I was too worked up. I was as scared as fuck, seeing her in the secret chamber. “ Do you think…?” Kylo muttered, sighing. He was referring to himself whom she got scared of and then passed out. “No… It wasn't up to a minute. It will be a fragment, I'm sure of that.” I muttered. To show his remorse, Ky
Davies' POV“ I am sorry…!” I kept whispering to no one in particular. My heart tugged painfully as I recall her painful expression. She had grabbed my arm firmly like her life depended on it while her soft breathing which sounded like music, rented the space in my head. Her hot gaze which went beyond my skin was something else, I literally died and resurrected several times. As much as I didn't want to admit, deep down I wanted to show her Kylo.Though I had managed to run away from her, I could still feel the intensity of her gaze. Dammit!Darting my eyes around in a position, I tried to fathom on the next step of action to take but my head suddenly went blank. If anything, I wasn't expecting her to figure things out so easily. “Ugh! This is sickening, I clenched and unclenched my fists several times in frustration as I was slowly losing my head.It wasn't just about Stephanie alone. My wolf was getting even more desperate. To be let out…with her. But I was afraid of losing he
Stephanie's POVShaking my head sideways, I tried to shove off the figure from my head but it has been stuck permanently. Several times, I tried to scream but my voice came out as a muffled sound that had no effect at all. “Are you alright?” Davies' voice broke into my thoughts and with all the strength I could muster, I snapped my eyes open. There he was, towering above me with a worried look on his face. “Finally, you’re awake.” He said in relief as he helped me sit up. Darting my eyes around, I realized I wasn't in the spacious and brightly lit room anymore, but rather, I was in a smaller room and on a spacious bed. Dabbing off the beads of perspiration on my forehead, he cooed, “Are you alright?” Gulping, I nodded. “You’ve been out for a while.” “Stop sounding like I died or something.” I chuckled, rolling my eyes playfully at him. Holding his shoulders, I pulled him to m
Stephanie's POVIt was surprising how he pulled himself away at the last minute. I felt hung up in the ecstasy of the moment that I couldn't stop the pain of his actions.I wanted him…Pushing my hair off my face, Davies gave me a faint smile. Something wasn't right with the way he pulled away. Everything was perfect, right? He wanted me as much as I wanted him too. But then, why?With my brows knitted in confusion, I watched as he tidied his messy hair while he slowly approached the door. His steps gave off an air of reluctance as he moved closer to the door.“ Davies…” I barely whispered, my heart feeling heavy. Why do they all reject me?I couldn't shake off the feeling of confusion and anger as I bit hard on my lips. What just happened? We were in the middle of... everything, and then he just stopped?No explanation, no nothing.I knew something was wrong. Davies wasn't the type to just walk away. He loves
ALPHA GREGORY'S POVI walked into Ava's room, a sense of relief washing over me as I saw that she was sitting up in bed, looking much better than she had in days. But her face caught my attention and my heart sank. Her eyes were swollen and her food littered on the floor. The maid was right, she had indeed being crying. I felt angry at myself for leaving her alone.She needed me more, yet all I could think about was that damn woman who was carrying my child. As I approached her, she looked up with a bewildered expression as though she wasn't expecting to see me. She threw a weak glare at her maid, probably faulting her for letting me know.I watched her trying to compose her already battered emotions as she smiled weakly. She tried to hide the pain in those eyes, her face laden with guilt. “ Baby…” I called out, taking brisk steps towards her."Hey," she said, her voice still a little rough from her illness
