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
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 It wasn't surprising that Alpha Gregory would believe Ava's fake attitude, after all, I also fell for it. The painful part was that he even punished me extremely with his child in my stomach.How vile could he be? I have been in the place he tied me up for a while now. I slowly opened my eyes to see Alpha Gregory's beta walking into the room. My heart began to beat fast, and I tried to sit up amidst the tightening of my wrist. I wondered why he was here. Was it to torture me or what? “ Don't move!" He commanded as a flicker of pity displayed on his face before disappearing. He walked up to me and slowly loosened the ropes that were used to tie me up. I stared at him with my eyes wide. I wondered why he was taking the ropes out. Wasn't he under the order of Alpha Gregory? "What are you doing?" I asked him. He didn't respond. He just continued taking out the ropes until he was done. After taking o
Gregory 's POVI got home to meet the shock of my life.I was happy that Ava wasn't treating Stephanie badly and I was also grateful to her knowing that Stephanie had taken what was supposed to be hers.. They were both acting like sisters. It was when I got closer to Stephanie that I knew that she was quite intelligent and fun to be with. She was also happy when I left but I didn't know why things turned around. My business trip went smoothly even though I had spent longer than I expected, only for me to get home and Stephanie decided to show her real colour. Of all that she did, the plan to escape was the most annoying. I had treated her well and she was still communicating with that boyfriend of hers. I knew something was fishy between them when they came out of the same tent.Now I was even beginning to doubt if that baby in her stomach belongs to me. I must do a DNA test before I take what doesn't belong to me.I was angry and yet she wasn't ac
Stephanie 's POVI should have known that Ava had a very big plan when she told me to sell the clothes. Gregory was very furious seeing me in those rags. If I had known that he had returned with guests, I would have refused to come out no matter what Ava does to me later.Now Gregory wouldn't believe me when I said that Ava was the one who made me sell those clothes. In fact he kept hitting me while she was playing all innocent."I'm not lying please," I cried out.The pain was too much for me to bear. They had returned me back to the pack just to make me suffer. "If you are not lying, what do I want to use the money for? I have enough money to spend if I need one. Moreover, was I also the one that stacked the cash in your wardrobe, " she said bluntly.I looked at her sternly."You think I don't know that the cash is in your wardrobe? I saw it there and I thought you were going to open up to me but now I'm so disappointed. I didn't expect that you woul
Ava's POVThe next morning I also took Stephanie to breakfast. The way she was looking at me showed that she was very confused. We were having lunch when Gregory called me and said that he was coming with some friends. I was so happy because I was going to see him and also because my plan would be very interesting.I didn't tell Stephanie that Gregory was on his way home. I just told the kitchen that the Alpha was coming back with friends. Everyone started to put things in order because they knew Gregory cared much about his dignity and appearance.I loved Stephanie in that she didn't know all that was happening. I wanted her to be shocked to see Gregory .And soon Gregory returned with his friend. Gregory had done something that hurt me, he didn't introduce his friends as his Luna and also he kept asking for Stephanie ."Should I bring Stephanie to have lunch with us?" I asked him.Gregory shook his head. " Who would I say she is? " He said.I
Ava's POVAlthough I miss Gregory so much I was still happy that he didn't return home as early as he had thought. It gave me enough time to torture that girl and also let Gregory think she was bad."Honey, when will you return, I think Stephanie misses you so much," I said to him." I'll be home soon, I need to settle business here before I can return, " he said to me.I was angry that he didn't talk against me saying that Stephanie missed him. I only said that so as to know if he had any feelings for her. I've been angry at Gregory lately because he's been getting closer to that girl. That wasn't supposed to be the plot. He was supposed to always counter whatever I told him to do for the girl but he was accepting all and that's what was getting me vexed. I couldn't take out my anger on Gregory but I could take it out on that b*tchGregory had said he wasn't able to reach Stephanie and I told him I don't know why. I angrily went into Stephanie's room and
Stephanie 's POV If I had stayed with Davies, he would have taken me to a pack where I would be living without anyone torturing me but I had thought coming here was good for the child.Even if Davies came to rescue me, I would be too ashamed to go with him. He definitely would have seen me as a woman who was indecisive. A woman who doesn't think before she acts but then I thought about it well. I was just too foolish to notice the red flag.When Ava was excessively kind, I should have known that it was almost a pretence. I was stupidly thinking someone like her could exist. "Ma'am, why don't we just get rid of her pregnancy? We can just say she miscarried it," I heard Ava's maid say.That girl was just nothing but an embodiment of evil. I didn't know what I had done to wrong her in this life. I might even understand Ava's pain and jealousy but that maid, all these whole issues, had nothing to do with her. I glared at her as she said that."What? Are y
Stephanie's POVWas she actually kidding me? She wanted me to mop the floor when it's raining heavily. That was pure wickedness. I was so shocked at what she gave me to do. I wouldn't have held a grudge if she had given me real chores because I had done many minimal jobs to earn a living. But mopping the floor when it was raining so heavily was pure punishment. How did she expect the floor to dry?"But it is raining," I said to her.If she didn't know that it was raining, I tried to remind her but I regretted. The next second, I had a resounding slap on my left ear and it affected my right, even to my brain. It was as if I lost the ability to hear and pain ran into my brain. I held my ear in pain and tears streamed down my face. "How dare you question me! Did I tell you I'm blind and don't know it's raining ? That's the job I want to give you, so do your job before I kick that thing out of your stomach!" She growled.I still didn't get the reason why she was doing this to me because
Stephanie POVI nodded at her. If she had shown me her true color from the first day we met, I might not be having this trauma. I knelt down there thinking what might go wrong. Last night we were still eating together like good friends. Why did she turn into an enemy all of a sudden?As I was battling internally with my thoughts, I felt a sharp pain all through my body and I screamed in agony. "If I'm talking to you, you open your mouth to talk. Can you hear me?"" Yes yes yes" I cried out in pain." Yes what? " She blurted out."Yes Luna!" I said. " Fine," she smiled with satisfaction. This was another side of Ava that I saw but then if she wasn't happy with me, why did she have to pretend that she was and even made me think I've found a friend like a sister. "Please tell me what I've done wrong to make you change all of a sudden. The Ava... Luna I know was patient with me and took care of me. Please, what did I do wrong?" I pleaded in tears.My tears weren't from the whip but be
Stephanie's POV I woke up with a start from the dream I just had. It felt a bit off. The evil intruder in my dream seem to be familiar with me.The person's form was undisclosed and I began to wonder how powerful that person must be. The only powerful person I had been familiar with was none other than Davies.With sigh, I suddenly felt a pang of pain as my wolf howled in sadness inside of me. I tried to communicate with her but I just couldn't do it.It could only mean that she was hurting but how?Somehow, I felt that something was definitely amiss with these scary dreams. However, things turned around the next day that Alpha Gregory left the pack. It was a turn around that was too sudden and unexpected. I was sleeping peacefully in my room, expecting Ava to come when someone burst into the room. I woke up in fear wondering who it was."Get your stinky body out of that bed!" A female shouted.I looked at the one who talked to me rudely, it was Ava's personal maid. I was shocked at
