LUTHER'S POV I was panic-stricken and confused as I gazed at Jaya lying on the floor. Oh, gosh! I shouldn't have told her. Anyway, of what use is hiding the truth from her when she is bound to know sooner or later? The earlier she knows that Whitney has a six-year-old son with me, the better. "Luther, don't just stand there doing nothing. Do something to revive her," Mom said in a panic-stricken voice. I jolted from my thoughts, squatted beside Jaya, and stared at her face. Her eyes were closed and she looked lifeless. I cradled her face and called her name but she didn't respond. I raised my head and saw the bowl of water I used in reviving my mother when she fainted. The bowl was just a few feet away from me. I reached out and picked up the bowl. I scooped some water from the bowl and sprinkled it on Jaya's face. She spasmed for some seconds before she opened her eyes. "Thank goodness, she has regained consciousness," Mom said as she rose to her feet and stood beside
LUTHER'S POV For some seconds, I gazed at my father who despite he now looks older with some wrinkles and fine lines was still quite an attractive man with a great muscular physique. I think he has grown more muscular over the years and was way more muscular than me. I must say I secretly envy his intimidating physique. I want to be as muscular as he is and has been working out vigorously over the years. Although my physique has improved significantly, it can't be compared to that of my father. My eyes swept over him. He was wearing a tight-fitted green polo shirt that accentuated his muscle with black jeans. On his feet were a pair of matching black sneakers with white stripes. Jaya and my mother greeted him and he responded with a nod. "Luther, have you suddenly gone dumb? I ask you one more time, what son were you talking about?" Dad asked as he gazed intently at me. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that my dad will disapprove
LUTHER'S POV For some seconds that seem like an eternity, my father stared at me in disbelief. "Luther, is the Whitney Stanford different from the one I know?" Dad asked with shock in his voice. "No, Dad. She is the same Whitney Stanford that you know," I replied bluntly. "Do you mean the Whitney Stanford that was my former maid that ran away from home?" he asked with an incredulous expression. "Yes, Dad." "Are you out of your mind? What the heck are you saying? How could Whitney have a baby with you? That is not possible," Dad said with disbelief. "Dad, I know you are in disbelief. I was also in disbelief when I got the news just like you and Mom when I told her. She even fainted when I dropped the bombshell," I said. My father was silent for a moment as he gazed at me in utter perplexity. "Luther, are you sure you are alright? I hope your distress has not affected your mental health," he said. "Dad, there is nothing wrong with me. I am alright," I said. "How can
LUTHER'S POV As I glared at my father, I was filled with hatred for him. How dare he slaps me? He has no respect for me Luther Don, the Alpha of Shadow Pack. For crying out loud, I'm now the Alpha of the pack yet my father still has so much power over me making me feel less of an Alpha which I find very annoying. The fact that he made me his successor doesn't mean he should continue to have power over me. Why should my father oppose my decision? Why should he tell me what to do? I may still be young but I'm a full-grown man with kids and above all, I'm the Alpha of the pack. I think it's high time I did something about my father's influence and power over me. But the big question is, what can I do? Almost everyone in the pack loves my father and I know majority of the elders in the pack prefer my father to me. So to get the elders to support me will be difficult. As the Alpha of the pack, I can't continue to b
LUTHER'S POV As I was groaning in pain on the floor with my father glaring at me, Jaya rushed to me and knelt beside me, and held my shoulders gently. "My Alpha, are you alright?" she said in a panic-stricken voice as she gazed at me. I was silent for a moment as I stared at her. I must say that I felt a little guilty because despite I want to bring my son with Whitney to the house and groom him to be my successor, she is still showing me concern. I know Jaya loves me and I love her too. However, I have no doubt that she loves me way more than I love her. As we gazed at each other, I felt a little sad because I know I'm hurting her by insisting on bringing my son but I just couldn't help it. I can't fathom why I should continue to languish in sorrow because of my predicament when the Moon Goddess has answered my prayer by giving me a son through Whitney. The best part is that my son is already six years old, so, I don't have to nurture him as a toddler. "Yes, I'm alr
LUTHER'S POV Two weeks after the hullabaloo in my mother's room, I was in my room sitting on a chair and working on my laptop which was on top of a desk. It was on a Saturday when I don't go to work. As I was working on the laptop, I suddenly stopped and stared into space as my mind drifted to a week ago when my father called me on the phone and summoned me to his house. That day was on a weekend and it was in the evening. I recall when I entered his room, he was sitting on the bed and was clad in a pair of shorts and a singlet. After greeting him, he gestured for me to sit on the sofa facing him. After I sat down, he gazed at me for some seconds as I stared back at him. "Luther, I summoned you here because of the altercation we had in your mother's room a week ago. I told you then that I was going to summon Martin to tell me the truth about Whitney's pregnancy and I also told you that I am going to summon Janet to interrogate her," he said. "Yes, I remember," I said. "I s
LUTHER'S POV I was filled with anticipation as I answered the phone. "Hello, Rico," I said. "Hello, Alpha," he responded. "Good to hear from you. What's up, Rico? I have been anxiously waiting to hear from you since the last time we spoke. Were you able to get information about Whitney and her mate?" I asked. "Yes, I got some useful information about them I think you will be interested in," he replied. "Wow...that's good to know. So what information did you get about them?" I asked. "I have written all the information I got and will send it to your email soon after we end the call. However, I will brief you about the main ones I think you will be interested to know now," he said. "Okay, go ahead," I said with eagerness. "I guess you will be shocked by the information I'm about to give to you," Rico said. "Rico, will you stop beating about the bush and tell me the fucking information? I am a man that works with time. I don't have time to waste. I get pissed off when
LUTHER'S POV I was silent for a moment as I pictured in my head what my son looks like. In the course of my conversation with Rico, I had intended to tell him to get me the picture of my son, so, that was the more reason why I was elated. "Rico, to say I'm glad that you took my son's picture is an understatement. Send the picture now," I said. "Alpha, be patient. I will send it immediately after our conversation," Rico said. "Okay. So is there any other information you think I should know?" I asked. "I think I have given you all the most important information. You will see the other ones in the email I will send to you which includes the address of Alpha Vicker's companies, and the address of his house where he lives with Whitney and the kids. One more thing, I heard Whitney call her kids' names several times in the park. The name of your son is Jason and the second boy's name is Shawn. The second boy has a strong resemblance to Alpha Vicker," Rico said. "Janet already tol
WHITNEY'S POV As soon as I returned to Luther's father's house, I sent my brother to Luther's house to bring Jason to me. When he returned with my son, I carefully examined him to be sure that Jaya had not done any harm to him. After a thorough examination, I didn't find any reason to be worried and I was relieved. I was so emotional and exhausted and couldn't go back the following day after the battle with Luther and his warriors. When Alpha Vicker called me on the phone, I narrated all that happened to him and he was shocked. He was happy that I survived and Jason is safe, however, he was elated that Luther is dead. Alpha Vicker told me to stay as long as I want in Montgomery since Luther is dead and I have had my revenge against all those that hurt me. My parents and my brother told me they were among the crowd during the battle. They said they saw me levitating and they were gobsmacked. They couldn't come to plead on my behalf because they were scared Lu
After some minutes, Luther ordered his warriors to ceasefire until the sorcerers subdue Whitney's power in order not to waste the bullets. Meanwhile, Jaya, Luther's Luna was among the crowd and has been watching Whitney. From where she stood, she tried to use her power to subdue Whitney's power and kill her but it did not affect her. She made several attempts but it was futile. It dawned on her that Whitney was so powerful and her power was no match for hers.As she realized that there was nothing she could do to Whitney, she decided to go after Jason and kill him. She turned around and started walking briskly to Luther's father's house. She got to the gate and told the security guard to open the gate. He greeted her respectfully as Luther's Luna and quickly opened the gate. Jaya walked through the gate and stood in front of the mansion. She started reciting incantations and commanded everyone in the house to fall into a deep sleep. Then, she turned around and saw t
Whitney was filled with rage as she stared at Luther and his warriors. After some seconds, she commanded a wall of fire to surround her for protection. Instantly, a circle of fire surrounded her. Her feet left the ground and she started levitating. Luther and his warriors stopped laughing abruptly. They raised their heads and stared at Whitney with a mixture of shock and awe as she hovered in the air. The sorcerers were also taken aback and they gazed at Whitney with disbelief. Whitney stretched her arm toward Luther's father's house and commanded the spell cast on everyone in the house to be broken. Then, she averted her gaze to look at Luther, his warriors, and the sorcerers who were all beneath her as she hovered above them. For some seconds, she glared at them as her eyes burned with anger. "Luther, I could have killed you some months ago when you attacked me and tried to take away my son but I felt sorry for you and spared your life despite all the pains and trauma you cau
Before Whitney went to bed at night on the day she arrived at Montgomery, she spoke with Alpha Vicker several times on the phone and he told her to be very careful for the one week she will be staying in Montgomery. The following day, Whitney gave her family the things she bought for them and they were elated. She got acquainted with Venus, her brother's mate, and her two kids loved her. Whitney's kids also loved Martin and her parents and they all doted on her kids. The fact that Jason was Luther's biological son coupled with his uncanny resemblance to him didn't make Whitney's family treat him differently from her other kids. He was loved by all of Whitney's family. Since Whitney's battle with Luther and his warriors, she spoke to her brother and parents several times on the phone but didn't tell them about her supernatural power and how she used it to deal with Luther and his warriors. Whitney felt it was time she let them know about her supernatural power and al
WHITNEY'S POV I was drifting in and out of sleep as we drove to Montgomery. From time to time, we stopped and I bought snacks and drinks for my kids and everyone in the car as well as for the people in the Mercedes Benz. I spoke a few times throughout the journey cos I was lost in thoughts. I thought about how my family lived in poverty right from when I was a child and all the significant things that happened during my childhood. I thought of when Luther raped me and the series of events that happened after that to when I ran from Nashville and met Alpha Vicker. Although most parts of my life were turbulent, I am grateful that my life has changed significantly and I'm now happy and at peace. As I'm now living a blissful life, I also want my parents and brother with his family to live comfortably and happily. One of my main plans is to buy a house for them in Nashville and take them from Montgomery. I intend to also set up any business of their choice for them. After a
SIX MONTHS AFTER WHITNEY'S POV On a weekend, six months after sparing Luther's life and a month after Jason turned seven, and had a grand birthday party, I was sitting on my bed in the room and I was packing my bags and my kids' bags. The time was 8:30 am. I was going back to Montgomery with my three kids after seven years of living in Nashville without seeing my parents and my brother. Rachel, my kids' nanny was dressing my kids up in their room and Alpha Vicker went to the parkhouse very early in the morning to resolve an issue. I decided to return to Montgomery after much pleading from my parents and brother soon after the battle with Luther and his warriors. I felt I have been on self-exile from Montgomery for too long and it was time for me to visit my family. After so much pressure from my family to come to Montgomery, I made up my mind to go. However, when I told Alpha Vicker that I want to go to Montgomery with the kids to see my family, he vehemently refused.
WHITNEY'S POV The full moon and stars in the sky illuminated the whole place and the pole lights on both sides of the highway shone brightly making me see everything clearly. The smell of charred bodies filled the air as I watched Luther's car burn with fury in my eyes. I thought Luther was in the burning car and didn't know that he fell out of the car into the ditch and lost consciousness. After a couple of minutes of gazing at the burning car as I was still levitating, I turned around to look at the charred bodies and bones of the warriors burnt to different degrees. All of them were dead. As I gazed at the horrific scene, tears welled up in my eyes and I became very emotional. With all the strength I could muster, I banished my emotions. I descended till my feet touched the ground and walked slowly to Luther's burning car. I stretched my arm toward it and commanded the fire to go off. Instantly, the fire went off and everywhere was filled with smoke. I
Whitney was filled with rage as she sped down the well-lit highway due to the pole light. Aside from that, the full moon's pale light illuminated the whole place. She drove past a few cars that had parked by the side of the highway due to the storm and the thick fog which had worsened. Considering how severe the storm and fog were, there was no way anyone could drive in the weather which made Whitney to be a little bit relaxed cos she believed Luther must have parked by the side of the road. As Whitney drove, she saw various items on the highway such as shrubs, grasses, cans, and other things blown by the wind, and on both sides of the highway, there were fallen trees that had been uprooted by the fierce wind. After driving for about thirty minutes, it struck her that she doesn't know Luther's car and she became worried and confused. Just then, she looked ahead of her and saw the convoy of four SUVs that followed Luther's car. The cars were all parked by the sid
For some seconds, Whitney and Alpha Vicker cuddled before they disengaged. "Why were you unconscious?" Whitney asked with curiosity. "Luther and I fought fiercely and he hit me with that sculpture on the floor, and I fainted," he said as he pointed at the sculpture. "Oh my goodness! He could have killed you. Luther is such an evil man. He wants Jason by all means. Unfortunately, he will never have him as long as I live," Whitney said with anger in her eyes."Thank goodness that he didn't kill me. I'm okay. I don't feel any pain," he said as he touched the part of his head that was bleeding. "You don't feel any pain because I healed you before reviving you," Whitney said. "Wow...I didn't know that. Anyway, thank you," he said with a smile as he patted her cheek. "You are welcome," she said as she smiled back at him. "My Luna, hurry up now and revive all my injured warriors and go after Luther and bring my son," he said. "I will but I can only revive those that are still alive.
