Lucas POV
The first full moon has passed and I haven't found that girl at the hotel yet. I went to the hotel but no one seems to recognize anybody like that. But that was before the first full moon." Hi Miss," I called the staff in a white shirt." How may I help you sir?"she asked politely." I'm looking for a lady" I replied" A lady?" She asked and I nodded" Does she works here and what's her name ?" The lady ask and I become quite." She doesn't have a name" I said and the lady furrow her brows in confusion." I mean I don't know her name. She has dark long hair and emerald eyes. Her skin is fair and spotless" I gave her the description of my mate and she nodded her head Negatively." I'm sorry sir, I don't know any lady like that. You can ask around" she said and walk away. No one seems to recognize that girl or maybe she doesn't works there or she just got there to drink that night but I have to go there again maybe I will find her this time around. I slept with her but I didn't mark her. That was the mistake I made that night. It would have been easier to locate her with the mate mark but I didn't mark her. I just have to go there and look for her again the second full moon is fast approaching, if I don't find her my mom will pull my skin out of my body.Luckily I don't have any alpha duties to carry out today. I have assigned them to my beta Athonio so I don't have anything to worry about in the pack. All the warriors have been placed in the borders and everywhere is very guarded. If I manage to find my mate today, her safety won't be a problem for the pack is heavily guarded.I hop into the truck and drove out of the pack and the warriors at the gate locked the gate back. It took me almost an hour to get out of the wood. It wasn't easy driving out of the woods with the sound of strange beings howling loudly. I got to the hotel and packed somewhere outside and walked in. Took a sit in the bar and order for a cocktail. I scan my eyes through the bar, taking a very clear look at every girl in the bar. Some came gushing and flirting around me but I'm not in the mood for them, I'm here to find my mate and not some bitch. I was still in the bar drinking my sixth cup of cocktail when I saw a girl holding a portrait in her hand. She's wearing a black leather jacket and a pair of black trouser with a black face cap on her face. Her black hair is packed into a ponytail and the face cap covering her . She walked passed me and sniff the familiar scent of mint and vanilla.' she's the one ' Uzo yelled in my head but before I turned to take a proper look at her, she's already at the door going out. I rushed towards the door and catch up with her half way and grab her hand but she immediately pushed me away." What's wrong with you?" She asked and her sweet angry voice sound like a music to my ear.Ariel's POVNo one seems to know this so called alpha with red hair and icy blue eyes. I think I should just give that hotel a try. Who knows someone might recognize him. He should be a regular customer there. I quickly took a hot shower and change into a black leather jacket and a pair of black trouser and a black matching boot and face cap.I got into my car and drove straight to the hotel. I got there just around mid evening and got out of the car. I walked towards the reception and showed the portrait to the two lady on seat but none of them seem to recognize him. I heard them gossip amongst themselves but I'm not in the mood to listen to their gossips. I'm still in my first trimester so I have to find this alpha before my pregnancy grows into the second trimester. It's not really easy carrying this pregnancy at all. I always feel weak and lose consciousness at interval. According to Irene she said the fetus blood is more stronger than mine that was why I keep losing consciousness. How can a fetus blood be stronger than mine?I asked around but no one seems to recognize him. I walk towards the bar and look around for any red haired man with icy blue eyes but only few red haired men with grey and golden eyes can be seen in the bar. Seems like I got the wrong information, maybe I'm wrong with the hair or probably Irene gave me the wrong eye color. I caught sight of a black haired man stealing a glance at me from the corner of the bar. I immediately walk out of the bar and went to the packing lot when suddenly someone bump on me from behind ..." What's wrong with you?" I yelled as the face cap fell off from my head revealing my face." I'm sorry" she apologized as she bent down to pick my face cap for me.He picked the face cap and our eyes came in contact. He has dark long hair and icy blue eyes with a well defined jaw." It's you" he said and I shove the portrait at his face" Do you know him?" I asked and didn't reply but kept gazing into my eyes.why is he gazing at me like that?Lucas POV.I bent down to pick her face cap for her when my eyes suddenly met her eyes. Gosh she has beautiful emerald hair. 'She's the one! she's the girl at the hotel that night. ' Uzo scream in my head and a smile crept into my face. I finally find her."It's you I said handling putting her face cap back on her head and she immediately shove a portrait of a red haired guy with icy blue eyes at my face." Do you know him?" She asked and I shove the portrait away." You need to follow me" I said dragging her hand and she free herself from my grip."Why should I follow you?" She asked angrily and I put my hands on my waist. She seems to be very upset. She's looking for the man in that portrait. Why would she look for him when I'm here.' I told you to mark her that night but you wouldn't listen. Now she's looking for a red haired man ' Uzo said disappointedly in my head and I felt a ting in my chest."Are you looking for that man in the portrait?" I asked softly to get her attention.
I know it's very dangerous to be driving in the wood this time but I have to get her to the pack and she also needs to see the pack doctor immediately. If she wakes up outside the pack, she would never agree to follow me back to the pack so it's better to bring her now that she's unconscious. I arrived at the pack half an hour later, the warriors at the gate open the gate for me and I drove in. The pack looks so warm with heap of fire burning on every angle. I park the car, come down and carry her in a bridal manner to my room. The wolves that are awake stare at me and turn back to continue their business. As soon as I get inside the room, I place her on the bed, cover her with a warm blanket and immediately set a heap of fire in the middle of the room. After that, I mind link my beta Athonio and he respond immediately." Alpha, do you need me to do anything for you?" He ask through the mind link and I guess he's not asleep yet." Yes, I want you to get the pack doctor for me. It's u
She don't smells like a normal human, she has another smell " Artemis said and I mind link my beta. " Athonio I have a puzzle that you need to solve for me" I said through the mind link." Is it about your mate?" He asked " Yes Athonio." I replied" How about her?" He asked" She's pregnant and the pregnancy is a threat to her life." I said and the word threat left a sting in my heart. I just found her ,I can't to lose her ." She's pregnant? How?" Athonio asked and I guess I will have to explain everything to him ." She's pregnant Athonio, what's hard for you to understand there?" I asked pulling of my clothes." I'm just curious you know. You just met her and now she's pregnant. Did you impregnate her? " He asked and I toss the shirt on the couch. How am I going to respond to that question. The child has an alpha blood and I'm also an alpha or is her ex boyfriend an alpha too. I'm very curious, I really have a lot of things to ask her when she wakes up." Athonio, the thing is, I
I walked towards the bed side and plant a kiss on her forehead. Hold her hands and give them a gentle squeeze. " What about her ex boyfriend, do you know his identity?" Athonio asked" No Athonio but we need to find out his identity and know if he's also an alpha" I said through the mind link." Alright" Athonio reply and I break the mind link. I ran my eyes through her beautiful face, she has sharp long nose, full set of pink lips and long lashes.I felt my cock hardening under my brief just by looking at her face. I tried to resist the urge of kissing her or doing something to her. I went into the bathroom and ran a cold shower. " Uzo , why did she look so alluring and tempting when sleeping?" I asked Uzo in my head." She's a beautiful damsel in distress you know and you're her knight in shining armor" Uzo said." How is that related to the question I asked you just now" I asked " Of course it's related to it. She looks alluring because she's a beautiful damsel in distress" Uz
" Listen damsel you really need to calm down so that we can talk things out" I said calmly with a sooting voice and scoff with those pretty face of her. She's crying few minutes ago and the next minute she act all clumsy ." Don't you think she looks pretty when she's angry?" Uzo asked in my head and I bet what he said is true." We don't have anything to talk about just get me out of here" She said softly and sat down on the couch with tears streaming down her face. I think she's dropping her guard gradually." Just wear something and get me out of here, I need to go home, I don't want them to start looking for me" she cry softly as she bury her head in her palms.I don't even Know her name not even a single thing about her but she's my everything. I will do everything I can to make her happy and comfortable here in the pack.I wear a pair of black trousers and sat close to her on the couch." Can I ask you something?" I asked and she reply immediately." What's that ? " She reply b
He took a blue blanket and spread it on the floor, then took another one and cover himself with it and I close my eyes to pretend like someone who's asleep and he whisper good night as he curl up under the bed sheets. After some minutes I climb down from the bed gently not to make any sound and tip toe to where he's lying. I stood there and admire his beauty. Incase you don't know I'm a beauty lover but the devil was once a beauty. With that I went back to the bed and sleep comfortably like a baby. I woke up to the ray of sun shining on my face through the window and I yawned lazily on the bed. I perceive a delicious spicy aroma and I sniff my nose to trace where the aroma is coming from. " Good morning Ariel" I heard a masculine voice from the door entrance and I turned my head to see Lucas carrying a tray filled with spicy food and my stomach." I guess you might be hungry, you didn't eat last night so I asked someone who specializes in cooking to prepare something mouthwatering f
After taking my bath, I saw a red sun gown hang on the wall of the bathroom with an inscription on it. Yeah a note with a tiny writing. " When you finished bathing put this on before we gets new clothes for you" says the note. Is he out of his mind? Did he think I am going to stay here forever? What new clothes? I have new clothes at home so I don't need new clothes. Well I think I should just wear this sun dress for the mean time. I can't go around walking naked or escape without any clothes on my body.I dried my hair and let them fall loosely on my shoulders and I slip the sun dress on. I walked into the room but Lucas is no where to be found. I think this is the right time to plan my escape because it seems like this alpha is going to keep me here forever. I walk towards the window again to check if I will still see those kids playing around. I saw the little girl I saw that time but don't know how to draw her attention. I don't even know her name, how do I call her? I looked at
Lucas P O V continues..I walked toward her gently and stood behind her when she suddenly cursed and turned back and immediately bump into me. I intentionally fell down and drag her along with me making her to fall on my body. I look into her emerald eyes and I myself leaning to kiss her." Are you crazy? What are you doing?!" She yelled and slap me across my face. I snapped back to my senses and try to resist the urge of making love to her.' becarefull Lucas and take things slowly' Uzo warned and my eyes became dark. I intentionally push her to the floor beside me and get up to sit on the couch." Are you out of your mind, why did you push me to the floor? " She yelled and I knew she is the sassy type always finding one or two reasons to yell.I remain quite just to calm the demon that have waken in me.'Chill bruh, breathe in and out' Uzo said in my head and I just remain quite. Why would I be breathing in and out? Am I a woman who is in labour?" Why did you push me to the floor?"
Luna Alice's face hardened. Her hands gripping the arm of the chair. Her chest rising and falling in fast pace. " How dare she" Luna Alice said in between gritted tooth. Graco placed his hand upon her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. Athonio and Clarissa stood before Lucas who was toying with a lollipop in his mouth. Eating lollipop was a new habit he developed after Ariel dissapeared. His heart thumped in his chest but he tried his best to remain calm. He bite on the lollipop and raised his head up to look at Athonio in the eyes. The lollipop dangled in his mouth sexily and Clarissa bite on her lower lips. " Never knew you found your mate already" Lucas said more like a mocking and Athonio smiled at him. He tightened his grip around Clarissa's hand and placed a warm kiss on her forehead. " At least she won't run away or disappear" Athonio mocked and Lucas jaw clenched together. He unwrapped another lollipop and placed it in his mouth. " Let the beta's mating ceremony begin" Lu
The pack throne hall was filled to the brim. Whispers and gossips can be heard from every angle as everyone waits for the mating ceremony to begin." I heard the Alpha's mate ran away. Do you think he would mate with another woman tonight?" A lady asked her friend who was sitting next to her." I bet he would mate with another woman tonight. Who would want to loose something so important as the throne because of a woman" The other lady replied and the first lady nod in agreement. " You have a point but I wonder why someone will leave a handsome man like the alpha or could it be he doesn't know how to dig?" The first lady asked and the other lady's eyes popped out of their sockets curiously." Dig what?" She asked." Dig the hole. The hole you and I have" the first lady replied and the other lady's face flushed with embarrassment." Does it really matter? His eyes alone can make me cum " " Shh the ceremony is about to commence. " The first lady hushed her friend before she continue wi
" you jump in" irene replied and freaked out. she wrapped her arms around herself and sat on a stone next to irene. " good job irene" ariel said like a teacher who's commending her student. " for what?" irene asked innocently. she really don't know why ariel was commending her. " for wanting me dead" ariel replied and irene jaw dropped. " Okay joke apart. Come wash up. We have alot to talk about" Irene said and lead Ariel to the lake." Before entering the lake, you need to get rid of the flowers. Didn't your teacher teach you to get rid of the obstacles first? " Irene sneered. She clamped her hands together, her forefingers tips touching each other. Ariel watched her as she perform the spell. The flowers withered away and Irene opened her eyes.Ariel just cock her head to one side . She wore a straight look on her face." I'm not surprised" Ariel snapped at Irene and stepped over the withered flowers. They felt soft and smooth other her legs." Aren't you going to ask me if the wate
~~third realm~~ Darkness covered the room, a woman can be heard mumuring incoherent words. Sweat dripping off her face on the mini bed she laid on. Her hands gripped the sheets and her dark hair laid splattered on the pillow." Don't leave me" the words left her mouth. Tears streaming down her face.She snapped her eyes opened and quickly sat up on the bed. She lit the candle by her bedside with shaking hands and a scream left her mouth when a little mouse ran over her legs.She walked to corner of the room and poured herself a cup of water from the jar. She gulped the water down and wiped her mouth with the back of her hands before going back to sit on the bed.For the first time, the door to the dungeon quacked and got opened. Her eyes darted towards the door with Sparks of light in them. Finally someone came." Irene?" Ariel called with excitement in her voice but was quickly replaced with coldness and disgust." What are you doing here?" Ariel asked coldly. The event of what happe
A month has gone by since Ariel went missing from the pack. Lucas has tried all he could to find her. The mating ceremony is in two days time and the royal family are restless. Especially Graco who's afraid Lucas might let the the leadership of the pack go to his beta." Are you sure you don't want to do this?" Graco asked with his hand gripping the seat arm. Judging from his tone, one could tell that Lucas has been pissing him off with his decisions lately." I'm sure father. Ariel is my mate and I can't replace her with Clarissa" Lucas replied and the alpha shook his head in annoyance." We're not saying you should replace her with Clarissa." His mother chirped in and placed her hand on his shoulder gently." What are you insinuating then?" Lucas asked and Luna Alice sighed. She clamped her hands together and strode to where her husband is seated." What we are saying is that, during the mating ceremony, you will present Clarissa as your mate but we won't reveal her face. You know i
The chanting continues, all eyes were on Dino and Ariel. Apart from this being a welcoming ritual, this ritual is also a marriage rite for those that understand the meaning.Dino was beyond excited because he had waited all his life for this day to come. A day he could finally washed the foot of his betrothed, a day they will be bond together as one. He bent his head forward and placed his lips on Ariel's ankle. Her stomach twisted in disgust from his gesture. She tried to retract her leg from his grip but it was fruitless. He was stronger than her and her foots were at his Mercy." Leg so white as Jade" he mumbled and planted another kiss on it before massaging her toe. His massaging skills were so good that Ariel almost forget that she's in the middle of a ritual and not a spa.She wanted to yell and cuss him but remembered the rules forbids her from talking. She could only vent her anger in her heart and with her piercing glare.' Dino! I swear I will kill you if you do that again
Trigger warning!!!This chapter contains violence and other traumatizing contents.Irene quickly put the pill in a glass of water and gave it to Ariel to drink." Trust me Ariel. It's not harmful" Irene said with puppy eyes when she saw the look on Ariel's face. She took the cup from Irene and gulped the content down. Her face turned horrible when the taste of the pill hits her tongue.She looked below and saw young girls being dragged by the women. Their hands were tied behind their backs. Wailing and screaming escaped from their lungs as they were lead away like cattles taken to the slaughter." This is how it's done. Those without power don't deserve to live" Serena said beside Ariel and she just give her the cold shoulder. she thought her mother was a good person but she never expected her to be so heartless and cold blooded." With time, you will understand everything I'm doing when you become the queen"" To hell with being the queen" Ariel spat with venom in her voice . The ma
She closed her eyes and took in his masculine scents. Only the heavens knows how much she has waited for a time like this to come. A time when she can hug Lucas and take in all his scents." You smell of alcohol" she drawl." Is there something on your mind?" Clarissa asked again and Lucas released her grip from his waist.He took few steps forward and dipped his hands in his pant pockets." What do you want Clarissa? Why are you here?" Lucas asked . No one knows what was going on in his mind. How back was straight and voice distant."Like I said earlier, I brought you snacks" Clarissa replied meekly." Aren't you suppose to be leading the hunting team tonight? " Lucas asked again with a hint of annoyance in his voice. On a normal day, he wouldn't sound cold and distance to Clarissa because he believes women shouldn't be treated coldly but right now, everything annoys him . Even the slightest provocation." I got some bruises from the woods yesterday so I'm resting"" Did see Ariel in
A knock from the door brought Ariel and Gracie back to their senses. Ariel found herself in the bathtub and looked around in a daze. " Messing with my dreams and reality again " She mumbled and within twenty minutes they were out of the bathroom. The other maids helped her dress up in a forest green dress that fell down to her toes. Her hair was braided sideways thereby revealing her flawless back. Black rings adorned her fingers and her lips were painted black. No make up, just a mascara and black lip shade. " These are the things you should not do when you go out there" Gracie took a book from the maid and flipped through it. " You must not take any drink apart from the one specially prepared for you" " You must not leave Dino side" " You must not Argue back during the Introduction" " You must not ask random question" " Is that all?" Ariel asked " For now" Gracie replied. " Dumb rules" Ariel scoffed and walked out of the room with the maids. ~~~~Escavor Pack~~~~ " Did you find her?"
