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
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.
Davies’s POVIt had been five days since I told Stephanie about my predicament, yet she hadn't shown up.The only thing I was holding onto was her promise of coming to save me but it seems that wasn't going to happen anytime soon. My grip on her promise was getting weak. I might as well discard it and resign to my fate as no one was coming to help.And just when I thought the Seekers were going to have an upper hand over me, Gregory and his men arrived at the dungeon. Earlier, I had sensed a different energy saturating the atmosphere and what I thought was a greater force working with the seekers was here to torment me.But it turned out to be Alpha Gregory and his men. In my life, I have never been relieved to see someone and so it was a new experience for me entirely. The moment Gregory and his men invaded the dungeon that was securely guarded by the Seekers', everything changed. The battle between them was fierce. Just as the Seekers were powerful, so were Gregory and his men
Alpha Gregory's POV The promise I made to Stephanie kept ringing in my head as I made my way towards my study. “I can't believe I actually agreed to save the one man who is a threat to my happiness with Stephanie." I muttered, plopping on my chair with a huff. Shutting my eyes tightly, I snapped it open as my heart clenched tightly against my chest. Is she finally showing her true self now? — I pondered, tilting my head to the side as I played and replayed her request in my head. Asking me to help Davies even when she isn't with him… maybe the pack members were right that she isn't loyal to us. Pushing my hand into my hair, I tugged on it for a while. At the moment, I was in an emotional turmoil that was threatening to make me lose my mind. Why would she put me up to that task?Truly, she never got over Davies yet. She was still in communication with him. “I should have known." I mumbled. “Know what?" Frank asked and immediately, I snapped my head upwards. I had no idea he
Stephanie's POV Stunned, I couldn't help but keep staring into space for as long as I could remember. I could hear Davies clearly. It was as if we were having a face to face conversation. Warmed with this discovery, my eyes watered. “Davies, are you there?" I asked when he didn't speak after a while.“Uhm." He sounded like a dying man which made me start panicking as I wondered what the issue was. Leaning forward, I murmured, “Tell me, are you alright?" My heart was beating rapidly against my chest making it seem like it was going to burst in any second. “The seekers. I have been at their mercy for almost a month now." Alarmed, I gulped. Holding my breath, I listened attentively to his tale about the seekers' torment and this made tears welled up in my eyes. If only I was there with him, this wouldn't have happened. — I couldn't help but to blame myself for his current situation.
Davies’s POVThere he is.For the rest of my life, I can never forget the face of the father who was behind the death of my mother even though I was diagnosed with amnesia. His face haunted me each time I remembered it.“You…” I yelled, trying to get off the constraints that were holding me back but it was to no avail. Thrashing about didn't help either and making me even more enraged, he was smirking. "Long time no see Davies.” He mouthed, walking further in my direction, the smirk on his face still stamped on it. "How dare you show your face here after what you have done?” I yelled at him. "I will never forgive you even if you ask all the elements to beg on your behalf.” I yelled again. The sickening aura in the room made me recoil but my gaze was still fixated on the man I had sworn not to forget in my life. He should be dead considering what had happened that day.Why in heaven's name
Davies's POV The Seekers continued to torment me non stop. When it seemed they weren't going to get what they wanted, the seekers left me alone but I was still confined in their experiment room. Patiently, I wanted for them to release me from the felters they had used to bind me but it seemed that wasn't going to happen. Day in, day out, I remained tied to the chair.I was still awaiting my fate when the door flung open and the old seeker walked in, followed by two youngsters flanked on both sides. “You didn't get what you wanted, let me go." I said, locking eyes with him. “We are taking you to the dungeon." He announced and immediately, the two young seekers made their way towards me. Thrashing about, I yelled at them, preventing them from coming any closer. With my eyes almost popping from their sockets, I yelled, “Let me go." Amused with my distress cries, the seekers began to laugh, making
Davies's POV For the past months, I haven't crossed paths with the seekers and it had been a relief considering the heartbreak I was dealing with. Mourning the loss of Stephanie and trying to avoid the seekers that were after my life was definitely going to make me go insane. Looking over the lush expanse of vegetation right under my window, I tried to stop my mind from racing with different thoughts but I had no control over it.Ever since Stephanie left, I haven't remained the same. Her absence left a void in my heart, making me wonder where I had gone wrong that would make her leave without telling me about it. She didn't even give me the chance to express my feelings to her before she left for Alpha Gregory. Resting against the wall, I couldn't help but reminisce about the times we shared together, and it made my heart ache. If only I could rewind the hands of the clock, I would be the happiest being
Alpha Gregory's POV The incessant itching and scratching, I noticed it all but I said nothing to her about it. I wanted her to tell me but she kept it to herself so I felt it wasn't bad as I thought. At the dining table, I kept casting her side glances. The look on her face showed she was in pain but still, she kept it to herself.Suddenly, she began to twitch and turn.Seeing it had escalated, I had no choice but to call out to the physician for help but he was taking too long and Stephanie was crying.“He will be here soon." I said, trying to relieve her of the pain she felt but it was of no use. Hurrying towards the door, I wanted to go fetch the physician myself but I couldn't leave Stephanie on her own; hence I was conflicted. Rushing to her side, I wanted to help ease the pain she felt when she suddenly went limp and the next second, she was falling off her chair.“My lord…” The physician announced his presence, standing behind the door. "What took you so long?” I yelled
