Chapter 37Sandra Pov“Come here.” Claire said to me and hugged me while patting my back. The dream felt so real, somehow I wish it was real and he truly apologized to me for the way he hurt me. After crying for some time I finally stopped and walked into the bathroom. Claire avoided asking me why questions because she didn't want me to feel uncomfortable so she just watched me from afar and made sure I was okay. When I was done taking my bath, I headed downstairs for breakfast.“How are you feeling now?” Claire asked me while looking at my face to make sure I was okay. “I'm fine now.“ I replied to her and took a bite of the toast she prepared. “Are you still going to the event?” I raised my head to look at her when she asked. After the nightmare I had last night it became clearer to me that I needed the fame and money Claire always talks about, that's the only way King Eric will look me in the eyes and apologize to me. “Yes.” Claire looked very happy when I answered her question
Chapter 38Luke's PovGetting to the party I realized almost everyone was coupled up. “Is this supposed to be a couples event?” I muttered to myself angrily and picked a glass of wine from the tray with the waiter.I sipped the wine and looked around but King Eric was no where to be found, I don't want to believe I came for this party and King Eric is not here.I sighed and looked at the stage when I heard the host voice. “I welcome everyone to this year's party, and I want to use this medium to appreciate every one of you here.” The host announced as we all clapped our hands. That was just a notice to us all that the event has just started. I looked around again and finally sighted King Eric, I wanted to go meet him but I noticed there was something interesting going on there. “What could be going on there?” I asked myself as I was looking at that side of the party hall. The lady turned away started running towards me. “Is she blind?” I asked myself when I noticed she was gettin
Chapter 39Luke povIt was becoming more fun to me watching both of them. They looked so in live with each other but there is still this bridge breaking them apart. “Why do you keep looking at that side?” I asked her pretending not to know what's going on. She looked at me angrily and gulped the drink they was left in the cup. I knew she was going to get upset that's why I asked her the question.“It's none of your business.” She said to me angrily and gave me an irritated look, I could take everything that she do, but one thing I just can't accept from her is the irritated feeling look she had on her face. “You don't have to look at me like that, I'm only trying to be a friend.” I said to her a little upset and turned to look at the host of the party that was talking. “I'm sorry, I just have a lot going on in my life right now and it's draining me.” I was shocked to hear her speak to me so much that she had to tell he she has a lot going on in her life. I turned to look at her st
Chapter 40Sandra povI remained on the chair facing the strange young man that tried talking to me a few minutes ago. I don't know what it is but something about him just seems really off to me and I don't want him around me.I felt a little uncomfortable where I was sitting but I didn't want to leave because of King Eric. I was trying to avoid a conversation with him, which he obviously wanted to have. I really wanted to get a lot of things straight with him but at the same time, I didn't want to have the conversation to avoid getting my heart broken again. I've been living very well with kids and a supportive friend and I don't want him to ruin things for me again. I realized that staying at the same table with the young man stopped King Eric from coming closer so I didn't bother you to stand up, then all of a sudden the young man stood up she rushed out of the venue, I thought he was going to stay longer now, King Eric will find a way to come here.I stood up immediately and fol
Chapter 41King Eric's pov“Mom, I'm really not in the mood for this now.” I said to my mom angrily. Cassie joined us on the dinning and she could already tell from the look on our faces that there was something wrong but she count figure out what was wrong. “What's going on? You two don't look in the mood.” Cassie said to the both of us the moment she sat on the dinning chair. “I was just asking him about his event, and the next minute he started acting like I asked for his life.” My mum replied my sister.asshe took a more of her food. My mum and I used to be best friends until Sandra left she started acting different. I knew she genuinely loved Sandra and wanted Sandra for me but acting like this is something I never expected from her. “I'm the Lycan king and now one has to right to question me!” I didn't know where that came from, I was also shocked to hear myself say such nonsense. “I birthed you, so watch what comes out of your mouth.” My mom replied my calmly. It was gettin
Chapter 42Sandra pov“It's fine if you're not going to answer, my mouth just won't stop asking stupid questions.” Claire said to me and started making her mouth for asking the question in the first place. I knew and I could easily tell that Claire was curious and it's obvious she wanted me to go see him.“Stop blaming your mouth Claire, it's only normal that you're curious to know the decision I'll take. I dropped the glass of coffee on the table and sighed. I turned to look at Claire and the way she just kept staring at me was funny, I know she was already having several thoughts trying to guess what my next move would be. “Last night you were not really in a position for me to ask you questions on how the event was.” Claire would never change when it comes to gifts. She loves it so much that she could go for a day without eating and just listening to gist and laughing. “Is that why you were staring at me like that?” I asked her with a smile on my face when I suddenly remembered t
Chapter 43King Eric povI had a feeling Sandra wouldn't come to see me but I just couldn't help thinking what if she comes and I end up not going because I had it in my head that she would refuse my invitation. I summoned the courage to go and face whatever happens when I get there. The moment I got to the place I found myself feeling nervous, I kept checking the time to know if she would really come.“Sir what can I offer you?” A young lady walked up to me to ask for my order, I didn't want anything so I decided to rent the whole place, everyone in that side of the restaurant had to leave. Most of the murmured but now of their murmur was my business all I cared about was to see Sandra. I checked the time again and it's been two hours already. I sighed and sipped the water I asked for. I know Sandea very well, she's never late no matter what the event is, so if she's not here now, I don't think she'll still come. “Sir, are you sure you don't want anything?” The same lady walked up
Chapter 44Lycan King Eric povI couldn’t think of a better way to find out the truth, I looked at Sandra’s face and with the look on her face I could tell that even if a gun is pointed on her head she’s still not going to tell me the truth. She was ready to hide the fact that I’m the kids father no matter what it takes. I wanted to ask her truthfully but I already knew she was going to lie about it so there was no point asking her. I had to bring up the fact that I’m their father and the look on her face said it all that I’m the father of her kids. That night produced a child but what I don’t understand is why they’re two.“Could they…” I was shocked to think that they might be twins. “What makes you think you have address my children as yours?” Sandra asked me angrily, it was very obvious that she was trying her best to keep it a secret but a secret can never be hidden forever. “Why shouldn’t I? They are mine too.” I insisted. Meanwhile, I was scared deep down because it’ll hurt
Final chapterKing Eric povThere was a chant from the public which signifies that the battle line has been drawn and it’s time for war. I was not ready to start any fight but Luke was not ready to give up too. I knew from the first time that Luke was after my position l. After his identity was revealed Sandra was shocked to see his face.“Luke.” She shouted. I couldn’t hear anyone's voice as I was boosting myself for the fight. The reason why I have refused to fight since I became King, is not because I was scared or not ready, it's because each day I fight anyone I remember how I had to fight my best friend to claim the position of the Lycan King. Though it was inevitable and we both trained very hard for that day only for him to give up at the last moment and make me beat him. Looking at Luke now made me realize that both of them looked alike, “It’s not possible.” I muttered to myself when I thought of possibilities Luke was my childhood friend. The whistle was blown and the fig
Chapter 108Sandra povThe moment we saw Cassie and Susan walk inside the room we both stepped out of the house. “Do you think this will work?” King Eric asked me as we were dressing up. I don’t know how sure I was about what we were about to do but I know I was very hopeful, I had so much hope because right now that’s all I can do. We were stepping out of the house when we got a message from the chief that there is someone that’s ready to face me in the fight that’ll determine if I’ll remain the Lycan King or the title will be taken away from me. I didn’t know if King Eric was ready for a fight at this stage but what’s more important is that we save my kids as fast as We can. “I accept the challenge.” King Eric said to the chief. “The challenge is tomorrow.” The head chief said to King Eric after he accepted it, I can’t believe they didn’t give him time to prepare himself. It looks like they really need him out as the King. I held his hand and turned to look at him. “I really w
Chapter 107Sandra povKing Eric and I realized that the only way to bring down Susan is to act like we have fallen for her tricks and she is winning in whatever her plot is. Looking at her face made me feel very disgusted. She looks like she was having so much fun when King Eric was treating me badly, I just know that she will think we’re dancing to her tunes already because the way she has been smiling since she sat down at the dinning is making it obvious. “We’ve not been seeing you here, looks like you’ve become serious with your life.” King Eric said to Susan, I knew he was going to ruin it because he was really against playing this game with us but we insisted that he do it because that’s the only way we can bring Susan out and expose her for all the crimes she has committed. “What do you mean by serious with my life?” Susan asked, I had to signal King Eric so that he will change whatever he has said and say the right thing that’ll make her feel better. “I didn’t mean it tha
Chapter 106Sandra povI don’t know what Cassie is up to but I’m very well prepared to see what she has for us. Seeing the popcorn that she arrived at first made me think it’s a movie night but when I concentrated very well I noticed that I was nothing close to being a movie night. “The voice, is Cassie’s.” I said to everyone in the sitting room and turned to look at Cassie who wasn’t denying it, i don’t know exactly what’s going on here but what I know for sure is that something is about to be revealed to us. I dropped my popcorn and looked at Cassie’s face even in the dark with the little reflection that I was getting from the movie I could tell Cassie was scared. I don’t know what she’s about to reveal but I know that it’s not something little. “Cassie, can you tell us what Is going on? Why are we watching you follow someone?” King Eric angrily. Instead of joining them to ask questions I concentrated more on what the video is trying to tell us. The hum from the video was so terr
Chapter 105Cassie povI don’t understand what’s going on anymore, I don’t even know what to do, since I got that information I’ve been unable to sleep well, all I keep thinking about is that day. “I really need to go see my friend.” I muttered to myself and placed a phone call across to her. “Hey Sus.” I said to her the moment she picked the call, it looked like she picked the call and was not conscious of the current situation because she was not saying anything instead I heard her conversation with someone else. I kept quiet and listened to the whole conversation with my phone recording then when she was done I ended the call. “Why is she doing this? This is the second time.” I muttered to myself feeling disappointed and sad at the same time. Susan only problem used to be that she fell for the wrong person, someone that might never love her back but seeing how evil she has become is very alarming to me. The last time I caught her felt maybe if I have a conversation with her th
Chapter 104Sandra povAfter spending about three days in the hospital i finally returned home again, as I was helped out if the car by King Eric I stood outside and looked at the mansion did a while. It seemed like my whole existence is back to misfortunes returning to the house. It was then I realized that all the evil that has happened to me only happens in this house, when I’m out of here I feel very safe like nothing can cause me pain. “Come on, let’s go in.” The sound of King Eric’s voice brought me back to reality abs we both walked inside the house. When I got in we headed slowly to the room.The moment I got to the room I gently sat on the bed because I was not yet fully recovered. King Eric stepped out of the room to take care of some work related matters, I know that what he did might cause him little trouble and might be a threat to his position as the Lycan King.“Why did you bring up the idea in the first place, do you know that with what you’ve told him to do his posi
Chapter 103King Eric povThe doctor looked like he was hesitating to give us a reply. Looking at his face made me a little scared and all I want to hear is good news. I don't care how the doctor does it. “Can you say something please?” My Mom said to the doctor angrily. Finally the doctor sighed and raised his headline that he was about to say something. “She fainted as a result of weakness, she hasn't eaten for up to two days and her bones were too weak, and from what I can see it got worse because she's always crying.” Everything the doctor said was the obvious truth so we could not argue with him. I want to know if she's okay now. “She’s okay now but she's still unconscious. It's just that…” The doctor suddenly went mute like the last line was too much for him to spill out. “Doctor ways going on? You just said she's stable so what's the but about?” I asked the doctor, sounding very worried, I couldn't imagine what the problem would be this time around. “Doctor say something.”
Chapter 102King Eric pov“Any news yet?” Sandra asked me the moment she walked downstairs, I dropped the phone and shook my head. She sighed and sat on the couch, I know that somehow Sandra blames herself for being a careless mother. She thinks If she was careful enough her kids won’t go missing. “Calm down Sandra.” I said to her when I saw the look on her face. I don’t know what the aim of the kidnappers is because they haven’t called or texted since the day they took the kids away. “I’ve been calm for days, I even suspected Susan, you know it.” Tears welled down from Sandra’s eyes as she was speaking to me, just as we were talking Cassie walked into the house. She looked like she saw a ghost from where she was coming from. “Hey, are you okay?” I asked her when I saw the look on her face. I could immediately tell that there was something wrong. Without replying to me she ran upstairs and headed to her room. Since we started looking for the twins Cassie had been of great help, tho
Chapter 101Susan povIt’s been days since I kept this kids hostage and their parents are not even doing enough to get them back, I guess that’s how much they really love the kids. I poured myself a glass of wine and headed to the sitting room so I can think of fhe next move to take.I keep saying it, taking the kids was a wrong move, I should have just killed their mom, but Luke insisted taking the kids would make them go crazy. “I shouldn’t have listened to him.” I cursed under my breath. While I was still in deep thought I heard the door bell ring. It’s been a while since I had a guest in this house, who could that be? The new girl I employed rushed to get the door the moment ste heard the door bell ring. The moment she opened the door I sighted Luke. This is really not the right time for him to visit I’m so pissed right now. “Why are you here?” I asked him angrily and dropped my glass of wine on the table. Luke sat on the couch with his leg crossed as he kept staring at me, I d
