Lucian“Hey Sylvia, don’t be this way, please, it’s a blessing to have a parent you know. Please don’t push her away. I am sure she did all this for you.” I say to Sylvia, who has been crying all this while in my arms. Furthermore, I understand her, but I also understand Miss Maggie, who would have thought that she could turn out to be her mother? “I know, but I can’t stop crying, my whole life came back rushing to me when I heard everything she said. I always thought that my parents had died, but it turned out that my mother was alive. I suffered Lucian, I really did. I even have only one name.” she says, sniffling even more. “I don’t have anything against her, it’s just so painful.” She adds.“I know, my love, but I am here for you and I will always be. I will never leave your side. You are mine, and I am going to do everything to make you happy always. I will be everything that you missed in life. I will be your boyfriend, your friend, your father, and your mate, anything that you
Lucian“Please tell me where you are taking me?” Sylvia asks for the umpteenth time.“Please be patient, my love.” I say smiling. I have blindfolded her, so she wouldn’t see where I am taking her. I just hope she loves this place. I made sure to bring her clothes that would suit this place. Being evening, there is a cold breeze, and I don’t want her to feel cold.“I am patient, it’s just that curiosity is killing me.” she says shaking her body a little. I can feel the excitement. “There is no need to be curious. We are here now my love.” I say, letting go of her eyes and taking her hand instead. She pauses taking in the view, and for a moment, I think maybe she didn’t like the place. I should have thought better. All I wanted was to give her the best date of her life. I scold myself.“OMG Lucian.” She exclaims, turning and looking at me, the smile on her face is to die for. “A beach.” she shouts, letting go of my hand and runs towards the ocean. I follow her slowly behind, I am glad
Maggie/ RachaelI am so happy I found my daughter Zoey, she is now Sylvia, but I don’t care. As long as she is with me. I have missed twenty years of her life now, I only saw her when she was two. I had to hide some truth from her, though. She didn’t need to know, if I told her, I could risk losing her. That’s why I hid the truth from her. It’s for her own good, though. That’s what I tell myself. Today is her birthday, I have made so many arrangements for her. I hope she will be back earlier since she spent a night out with Lucian. I am glad she has Lucian in her life, but I can’t stop myself from feeling so jealous of him. Why does he get to spend all the time with her? She is supposed to be with me now, I have spent years just yearning for her. Seeing Lucian and Sylvia reminded me of my Derrick. He was really a sweet guy, but the problem was that he had nothing. It made it so difficult for our love to move forward. I don’t deny that he was a hardworking guy, but to me, it wasn’t e
Rachael/ MaggieI have waited for like an hour since I sent for her, why is she doing this to me? She is really testing my patience. I really wanted to surprise her, to at least make her happy. But she is ruining my mood completely now. I hear some giggling from afar, since I am sitting at the window, I can see outside with ease. I look at where the noise is coming from, and I see Lucian and Sylvia in each other’s arms, Lucian is telling Sylvia something in her ears, and she cannot stop giggling. Was that the reason they kept me waiting? I feel like killing that Lucian. But I hold myself. I take a deep breath and order the staff, who have been waiting for me, to dim the lights. I wear a jovial face immediately, I have the best personality, really. I can just flip a switch from inside. I stand at the door and when it flings open. I shout, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SYLVIA.” . She gets startled, she is actually shocked, I can see it in her eyes. As the balloons are flying across the room, I h
SylviaI stood up for Maggie, but I don't trust her, she seems suspicious. I had to get her out just to pretend to believe her. But what I need is to see Tristan. That's the only way I will get to know the truth. I will wait for Maggie to sleep, then I will head outside, maybe I will meet Tristan. First I have to go inform Lucian before going.“Please don't leave me alone.” Maggie begs me when I cover her up with a blanket. I sleep next to her just to assure her. "I won't Maggie don't worry." I say to her, but I don't think that I mean it. 'I miss you, my love.' I hear my mate's voice in my head, making me smile. I was about to mind link him too.'I miss you more.' I say now, wishing that he was next to me. Giving me endless kisses, his hands on my body, his lips rummaging by body. 'Then come to me, please. My bed seems so big.' He says. 'Is that your line, so lame Alpha Lucian.' I chuckle. 'Then I just want to see you before I sleep, I want to kiss you.' He says, making me wish
Sylvia“I hope it will be soon though.” He says snuggling me up.“I hope so, too.” I say. I know I am ready to be with him, but I don't want to be a dependent wife. I don't want to be a burden to him. I know Lucian will accommodate me, though if it persists, then he will get bored with me. “I love you, Lucian.” I say to him.“I love you more.” He answers. "Just know that I am here for anything that you wish for. I will support you for life." He adds kissing my knuckles. "I am here for you too Lucian, for life." I say. “I need to go now, I really need to speak to Tristan.” Even before finishing, Lucian gets off bed in so much anger. “What the f**k, how can you think of meeting that monster? A man who kidnapped you and took you from me?” He shouts. “I am sorry for shouting at you, Sylvia, but I am not going to let you meet him.” He adds. “Please Lucian, you didn't even listen to me. What I wanted was to know more about my mother. She looked suspicious today. " I say.“You are right
Sylvia“So, my affair with Rachael became so intense that we were almost inseparable. I made sure that Derrick would be so busy as not to find as out. I made arrangements for him to be given so much work that when he came back in the evening, he would be so tired. He had no time for Rachael. He used to feel guilty, but Rachael always consoled him, saying that he was doing it for their future. Occasionally, he would sleep out due to work too, and those were the times we were so happy. We would spend the whole night in each other's arms.” He pauses and sighs. For some reason, I believe his story more than Rachel's or Maggie. These two names are really confusing. "But all those times, Derrick made so much effort to spend the little time he had with Rachael." “Did Rachael really love you.” I ask because I have a feeling that she wanted his money and nothing more. “Well, I will get to that.” He answers.“So now one day I made sure Derrick went far, and I was sure he wouldn't be able to
Sylvia“How am I going to face Maggie again, Lucian?” I ask as I lay my head on his chest, not really chest, since I am short, my head is almost on his abdomen. I don’t have any tear in me anymore. I am just confused, totally.“Don’t worry, my love, the good thing is that you already know the truth now. And it has been revealed that Maggie isn’t a trustworthy person.” Lucian says. “Now we have to find out why she came here because she must really have a hidden agenda.” He adds. I didn’t even think about it that way, Lucian is right. “Let’s just go back to the room, we will discuss about this in the morning. For now, I need to sleep, I feel like my head isn’t working.” I say. Lucian scoops me up in his arms and walks with me to his room. He tucks me in like a baby and holds me the whole night. I get up the next morning still in his arms. We exchange greetings, kissing here and there, then I head for a quick shower before heading back to my room. I came to a conclusion that the only
Jake Where could my Sylvia be? Teresa had texted me about two hours ago that they have already started their journey here. What’s the delay about? I just hope she is safe. “The bride is here.” I hear people cheering happily, I sigh as a smile crosses over my face. She was definitely trying to punish me. But then what I see is Teresa running right towards the altar where I am seated at. I get up, worry washing over me as I see the horrified look on her face.“She is gone, someone kidnapped her.” She says when she reaches me. My heart freezes and my brain stops functioning. “Where and how?” I feel so weak.“I am here.” Sylvia’s voice comes from the main entrance. Everyone gasps, I just run and scoop her in my arms, not caring about the dirty dress. Her dress is all ruins, but what matters is that she is here. I will ask about what happened later. I take off my coat and help her to wear it. "Who did this to you my love." I ask anger frothing inside me. I feel like a volcano wanting t
*The wedding day*Finally morning has arrived, I have been so nervous the whole night. I didn’t even manage to get ample sleep. I was constantly waking up due to bad dreams. I don’t even know what my subconscious is trying to tell me. I feel odd, I am happy, yes, but I cannot shake off the feeling that something terrible might happen today. I know I am being paranoid again, but I cannot help it. “Hey, you look so deep in thought, what’s the problem.” Teresa comes to my room, she is still in her pajamas. “I am just nervous, my friend.” I can’t tell her what’s in my mind.“I understand, but now it’s time for you to shower. The makeup artist is already here, and your breakfast is being prepared.” She informs me. Jake preferred to leave the house to me and went to a hotel instead. He didn’t want me to stress out. Now the house is full of people who want to doll me up and also help my day to turn out to be superb. I head to the shower still feeling so heavy in my heart, I try so hard
SylviaWhat is happening? The place is so dark, nothing is happening. I can see well because of Sky, but I don’t think this is what he planned. “What is happening, love?” I say in a low tone. I don’t want him to feel bad, he looks sad already. I know he doesn't like disappointing me. “I really had everything planned out, I am sorry, my love really.” He says, looking away from me. I start walking to him so that I can calm him down, accidentally I step on something that makes me trip. But at the same time, the place lights up, and I fall into Jake's hand. Our eyes come into contact as he is helping me up. He smiles shyly. the scene is so romantic. “This is what I had planned. Good thing you steppes on the trigger. I had made wrong calculations when I stepped out of the car.” He says, extending his hands to show me, I follow his hand and I gasp. It’s beautiful, it’s a stadium it has been decorated with lights all around it. The lights are blinking in a sequence, drawing a love shaped
Jake Seeing Sylvia almost taking her life for me, changed everything in me. My love for her changed completely. I still haven’t told her that I got my wolf back though. After I went back to Crescent moon pack, I cleared all the mess, I took back the throne from Tristan and Maggie who apparently joined forces after taking the lock and key. The lock and key only worked when our wolves were dormant, and that's why Sky and Lonan have been MIA for these years. The only thing that I didn’t manage to get back was my former body and appearance. I still look like Jake. At first, it was so hard, but I have now accepted my fate. Besides, Sylvia loves me and that’s all I need.Cynthia, who was in our cell, managed to escape somehow. My mother turned out to be possessed by Maggie’s power all along, but when Sylvia killed her, everything vanished with her. Everything is over now, Crescent moon pack is up and running, and my father, together with my Beta, have taken the responsibilities of rulin
Sylvia“Whoa! That is quite a story my friend, good thing is that you found each other again Sylvia.” Teresa says after I narrate everything to her. After dropping me back here, Jake went back to make sure the pack is in great hands. He said that he didn't want to put my life at risk again. I miss him so much, it has been two days since he went. I just hope that he is doing fine. He promised to be back before Teresa's wedding, which is in three days. “Do you love him?” She asks.“Yes my friend, with all my heart.”“I knew you loved him even before you did. The happiness he brought to your life is unimaginable.” She says.“Like you and Chris, right.” I tease. “Speaking of Chris, it’s been so long since I saw him.”“How will you see him when all you do is going to Jake's House, huh?"“Alright you win.” I say throwing a pillow at her.“I am going to Chris' there is something we need to finalize.” She says, that's why she is all dolled up. I am left alone in the house, I decide to go t
SylviaI can’t believe this, why did he do this to me? I hear him running after me, but I don’t look back. I want to wash myself off, all this blood. I freaking killed Maggie thinking that she wanted to kill my Jake, it turns out he was all an illusion. He doesn’t even exist. I gave my heart to an illusion, how will I even get over a non entity? Why is my life this dramatic? I can’t believe Jake doesn’t exist, and why isn’t Lucian taking his old form, and I already know the truth.I find Dreda and the others already packed.“Thank God you are alright, Sylvia. We are getting the hell out of this place.” Mr. Parker says to me. “Is that blood?” Dreda asks horror stricken. I don’t answer, I just head to the shower and scrub myself so hard that it hurts. I feel like I am in a nightmare. I haven’t understood how everyone could disappear and why Lucian did what he did. “What are you doing here, Jake, I mean Lucian.” I find him seated on the bed when I come out from the shower. “You can tak
Jake “Please open your eyes, my love. I can’t live without you.” Blood is dripping so profusely, I get to the hospital and hurriedly place her on the bed. She looks so weak, she has already passed out.There are no doctors here, the hospital is completely deserted, where is everyone. Where do I start from, if I continue looking at her like this, I am going to lose her for sure? I run to the medicine room, and I pick everything that I see. Bandages, scalpels, a sedative, and some disinfectant, I ran back to the room, blood is now dripping down the flow drop wise. There is so much blood, and the knife is still lodged in her abdomen. I disinfected the place where I wanted to inject, and I dose her with a sedative. I am so glad that I studied a short-term nursing course. I inject her with a dose which causes blood clots before removing the knife. The cut is so deep, I am praying that it hasn’t ruptured any internal organs because I don’t know how to stitch. I just clean her wound, unti
Jake I had to stay away from Sylvia for a while, I needed to clear my head and get my act together. Being here in Crescent moon pack has brought so many bitter memories back to me. I know she must be wondering where I am. I walk around the field, it looks so deserted, not as it was before. Everything has been neglected, it hurts so much. I sit on a bench in the field just looking at the stars and reminiscing. It must be quite late now, I need to go to Sylvia. I just hope that she is asleep because I don't want to explain why I was outside all this while. I don't know why I confessed my love for her, I didn't intend on doing it that way. Now, if she finds out about my secret, she wouldn't be able to forgive me again. I would have lied to her twice, and the last thing I want is to break her trust. I don't want to risk losing her. She is all that I have and want. All my wealth and success is nothing without her, who will I enjoy it with, who will I be working for. As I am going back
Sylvia I am woken up by some commotion coming from outside. I get off bed quickly, running to switch on the lights, but there is no electricity. What is happening, I hope everyone is safe. I open my bedroom door stealthily since I don't know what is happening outside. “Dreda.” I try calling out since I can't see a thing. Someone pulls me to the ground, I want to scream, but I can't because the person has their hand around .you mouth so tightly. I am freaking out. “Where are you going, can't you hear what is happening outside.” The person whispers. I sighed in relief because it's Dreda's voice. “Where is Jake?” I ask in the same tone. “Who is Jake?” “Mr. Griffin.” I say.“No he didn't come.” Oh! no, I hope he is safe. This place is dangerous for any human. What if something bad happens to him, I have to take my phone. I need to alert him so that he stays wherever he is. “Where are you going, you will get us killed.” She tries to pull me down, but I am too strong for her. I hav
