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
Stephanie POV Was he going to hurt me?My voice was shaking but I braced myself up. I wasn't only shaking because I was afraid he wouldn't forgive me, but also, the fact that I could hear each beat of his chest loudly in my ears.Aside from Alpha Gregory, no other man was in my life. Silence engulfed the room as his grip loosen slightly and I immediately stood up. I wanted to be far away, pleading for forgiveness. I swallowed hard at his piercing gaze which rested wholly on my chest. What a pervert!A sly smile danced around his luscious lips while still holding me ransom with his breathtaking gaze. Snap out of it, Stephanie!Even if he was my mate, this man was said to have a fierce temper. All Lycans seemed to have fierce anger but there was something scary about this particular set of Lycans, especially my mate.I was still trying to sort out the situation when his next words made me surge with anger. Fuck his arrogance!"Are you trying to seduce me?" His voice was laced with s

Davies's POVI stared at the red-faced wolf before me. She looked cute and I swore I wouldn't have stopped kissing her if she had truly accepted me. She tasted heavenly and I can't seem to get enough of her.“ At least I have fulfilled one of your wishes," I teased, watching her grow even more embarrassed.And angry.It was as though she was going to have my head on a platter of gold. I could feel the murderous aura in the air and I felt fulfilled. I finally had my own revenge on her, so, with a sinister smile I ignored her furious question and made my way out of the tent.Feeling satisfied.Honestly, I felt quite relieved with the whole thing. She seemed to have learnt her lesson even though it almost cost us both our lives. And perhaps, memories that were better left untouched.Those memories were more like a real haunted house and I dread encountering it again.It reminded me of how much I missed my parents and also all the hardship I went through. I felt hurt and broken at first,
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
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.
