"Alix, Alix" someone kept tapping me.When I opened my eyes, Reagan was standing over me."Come and eat; it is almost time for the pack's training."I groaned, "I want to sleep more; I feel so tired."He started pulling me up while laughing, "Sorry, but you cannot sleep anymore. We have to get going.""Nooooo, can't you just not make an excuse for me? Tell them that I am sick and I have a headache. I do have a headache, so that will not be lying.""Sorry, but I cannot do that; they saw you last night so they will know that you are lying."I sat up and pushed him away, then took a big sip from the hot tea he dropped beside me on the bed."What kind of exercise are we supposed to do?""For women, your workout is different from ours; it's you guys doing what you want, and with the fact that the queen is exhausted, the head warrior will always look at that and make your training short.""For the first time in my life, I am thankful for someone underestimating women.""Give me a sec; let m
Rosette pov"Rosette, could I drop by your house so we could talk about what you told me the other day?""Of course, drop by in the evening; Brian would be out by then," she said, pretending to be watching Brian, who was fighting.Ana stormed off, cursing as she ran away from the gym.Rosette smiled and then turned to Brian, who was tapping her."Hey, are you done?" she said, forcing a smile. She was getting good at faking things."Yes, I think Reagan broke my rib," he said, kissing her head."Where?" She said that and pressed his ribs.He pushed her hand off. "Ouch, that hurts like hell.""Sorry, I was just trying to see where it hurts, so I know if I should make you an herb.""Oh, do not worry, it does not hurt that much that it will require an herb, but I know what will make me feel good," he said, spanking her ass.She was not in the mood for this. She did not know why she had to endure all this humiliation of saying yes to things even though she did not want
"I mean, Alix is very stubborn and even left once, but I do not blame her. She had to toughen up because of her brother Stephen, so chances are that he is trying to give her time to get used to this place before he marks her."She groaned mentally. How stupid could he be? Alix had a wolf scent, but still, have any of them seen her change or anything? Could they not just think of that and connect the dots?"True, but I have not also seen her change, though." Rosette said and trailed off, trying to see if he would catch on."What would you want to see her change? Rose, enough talk about the royal; grab the spoons; let's eat.""Of course," she said, and she grabbed the spoons while he dished the porridge onto a plate for both of them.She grabbed a rubber spoon there and broke it, wishing that it was his head that she was breaking.Imagine if he got what she was trying to say, then talked about it to someone; all she had to do was make Ana overhear it one way or another, and then she wou
Alix's Pov."Reagan, get up already. Do you know what time it is?""I do not care. Come back to bed. Let's skip dinner," he said, trying to pull me back down.I slapped his hand off, then put my hand inside the cupand dropped it inside his ear."Alix, the hell," he said, jumping off the bed.I threw a towel at him. "Go get ready; let's start going."When I bent down to clean my legs, still holding my towel tight, he moved behind me and grabbed me."Come, let's go shower together," he whispered in my ear.I pushed him away. "Thanks; I already showered. Now go shower, and come get ready.He groaned and headed into the shower. When I heard the shower running, I dropped my towel, started cleaning my body too, and then applied my cream then grabbed my clothes.When we came back from the gym, we f*cked in the shower, then made love in the bed. After that, we ate, then we slept off.The queen called me to inform me about the family dinner in case Reagan did not i
"Kelly, come on, I thought you went in there to grab your bag. That's like five minutes ago; you are going to make us late for the training," I said, knocking at their door."I will be right out, Alix; give me a few minutes." She shouted and started giggling.I rolled my eyes, then headed to the living room, waiting for Kelly to get out."I am here," she said."Finally, remind me to keep in mind that, your let me grab my bag. Is just an excuse for you to go in and play with Kingsley wasting all of our time?" I said and stood up."Jeez, I did not even spend more than three minutes in there; I was just kissing my Kingsley goodbye. Let's go already and stop lying," she said, opening the door.I scoffed, then moved ahead of her. "Am lying? Wow, next time I will just leave you behind."She scoffed. "Hey, I do not know why you are shouting so much, but please stop it already. Also, tell me what the training is like.""This is the third time you are asking me that.""Well, Answer more clearl
The hell, what happened to Ana? I thought that she was the one in charge of the training."I know some of you must be wondering why I am changing her, but it has come to my attention that she is an unmated Lycan, so she has not experienced some of the remaining topics that she would teach. But Rowen Ridge is an elder's wife. You know her mate, don't you?" She asked."Yes, no, we replied."Her mate is Elder Samuel Ridge. She is a mother and experienced in anything she is teaching. She has also been the one doing this training since forever. Ana took over because something personal came up for Rowen, but Ana did so well too. She taught each one of you to the best of her knowledge. So thank you, Ana. She will be the assistant to Rowen, helping her with the training now.""Thank you, ma'am. Thank you everyone. I will continue serving to the best of my knowledge," Ana said, and everyone started clapping for her."Now, it's time for the training. Rowen, please take the stage and start the c
I felt someone tapping me gently; I already knew who it was, so I pretended that I was asleep."Stop pretending to be asleep; I already know that you are awake," Reagan said, but I still did not stand up."Well, do not blame me for this," he said, and he started tickling me."Reagan, stop, please, Reagan!" I shouted while laughing.He bent down to carry me but then raised his head and said, "Damn, you reek of alcohol; how much did you drink?"Just half a bottle of vodka. The vodka must not be strong, as I do not feel much of a headache. But I do feel hungry. Did they make lunch?""I made jollof rice and chicken your favorites for dinner.""That sounds amazing, but we haven't eaten lunch, and you are talking about dinner?""It is already eight a.m.; you slept off the whole afternoon; maybe that is why you do not have much of a headache.""Really?" I said, then sat up slowly.He grabbed my hand and helped me up, then guided me to the bathroom."Reagan, I do not want to shower; I want to
It looked like Maria now. She started to smile and was trying to force my mouth open when I used all my strength to push her off, then I woke up.I shouted, then sat up when I looked at the clock. It was ten forty-five p.m. I got up from the bed and downed a cup of water before I returned to the bed. I was about to go to sleep when the door opened.Someone was coming in. I grabbed the lamp immediately, ready for attack, but the person turned out to be Regan. So I set the lamp back."Is something wrong?" He asked me.I shook my head and said, "No, I just had a nightmare, and it frightened me.""Oh, what is it about?""Nothing important; did you finish what he called you for?""Yeah, just a small problem that I needed to look at.""Good, Go shower and come to bed because I missed you so much."He bent down and kissed my lips before he headed to the bathroom. A few minutes later, he was out, smelling like his shower gel, and slid in beside me on the bed.I moved into his arms and kissed
Epilogue Alix Pov"Bye, Zara," I waved at one of the nurses."Bye, Princess," she waved back.I work in the hospital now, and though I did not do much work, I was one of the directors just like I was in my father's hospital.Baby Zack has grown so much now that he is crawling; the same is with baby Drizzle, and they are over at the grandparent's house for the day. Ashlynn also gave birth to a son and named him Kish after his grandfather.Kelly and Kingsley are at the cabin, enjoying their getaway that will only last for today because they will be back tomorrow. Reagan was in his office, and the last time I checked, he was still busy.It was already six in the evening, and I could not wait to be home and soak in the tub.My phone beeped, and it was a message from Reagan.I am home, and I made dinner. Come, let's make magic.He could just have mind-linked me, I thought, but I headed home anyway.When I opened the main door and ent
"You guys wasted much more time than I thought you would, but I guess that's thanks to Alix for knowing how to tempt you, Prince Reagan." The seer said, then pointed at the seat.Hot color blasted on my cheeks because when we woke up this morning and finished breakfast, Reagan wanted to leave immediately, but I cajoled him to a quickie before we came here."These places seem so clean, Merida," Reagan answered, then sat down before pulling me too.She smiled and said, "I cleaned it up because I knew you would be here today. I also did it to save some of my glasses."Reagan smiled. "I know. Your place is never this clean. Alix meets Merida. Merida, this is Alix, my mate.""Good morning, Merida, I am Alix. I wanted to ask you some questions about some things," I said with a smile."You mean some questions about the vision you had yesterday?"I nodded, stunned, then she burst into a loud laugh."You look stunned that I know about some flimsy vision. Don't be so surprised; I see everything
I held my head because it felt like it was breaking into two. I tried to mind-link Reagan, but it felt like something had taken control of my mind.I felt trapped in my head until I was not feeling my body anymore. Instead, it felt like I was in the clouds."I like the necklace, the portrait, the note, and the flower. I love everything." I heard a voice, and when I looked closely, it was my father, Kish Stone, and my mother.He kissed her. "You do not know how happy that makes me. I look forward to these stolen moments, and I wish I could introduce you to my family and my pack.She smiled and said, "Me too, but we can't. Being here with you is already a big risk. I take many measures to be here, so we do not get attacked. My kind has been hunted for ages, so bringing me to your pack will put you guys in danger."He placed his head on her chest and said, "I know, but I would love to show my mate to everyone."She laid on her back and clutched his head. "Me too."He moved over to her, a
Six months after"Wake up, Alix," I heard Reagan whisper in my ear.I wanted to groan and then sit up, but I decided against it. I turned, then pretended to be still sleeping."You are such a bad actor," he whispered, then slapped my ass gently.I turned and rolled my eyes at him. He smiled, then leaned down to kiss me and then my stomach."How is our peanut?"As if on cue, he started kicking.I grabbed his hand and placed it on my stomach."Your peanut is kicking like he is on a football field."He chuckled. "As he should."I grabbed a pillow and hit him on the head. "I don't blame you. Maybe you should try carrying him for some minutes."He grabbed the pillow from me and placed it on the bed before kissing my nose and lips. He pulled away before I could deepen the kiss and stood up.He pulled off his top and opened the drawer to grab another one."We made breakfast. Come have some before it gets cold." He said then put the top on, but I had another thing o
Three days after"It's time to pour the sand into the grave by his loved ones. Mrs. Stone, please step forward.""No, no, I do not want to. How can fate be so cruel?" she shouted in anguish. Queen Elizabeth pulled her closer and started leading her to the grave while whispering soothing words to her.The dam in my own eyes broke; I could not believe that Zacky was dead, and he died to save me. Watching his mate cry broke my heart, and as I cried too, I was feeling very faint, if it wasn't for Reagan holding me, I was not sure that I would still be standing.I wish I could turn back the hand of time; I wish I could not rush into that kitchen to eat; I wish I stayed awake to talk him out of coming to save me. Now his child would be fatherless because of me."His family members should step forward too."Reagan carried me to the grave and helped me pour sand inside, then led me back.After the funeral, which was at midnight pack, the king and many Alpha's started le
She shook her head. "I did not see the person's face, but someone was shot.""More reason I should come; I do not want anything to happen to my sister."I stood up and said, "Look, I do not have time for this. Stay with your mate and take care of her. I will bring Alix back. So we can thank you properly because you just saved me once again."I kissed Ashlynn's hand, then mindlinked two guards outside to go in and lead them to my parents' house.When I got outside, Brian, Kingsley, and ten of our men that they had selected were waiting.Kingsley moved closer to me and asked, "Did you find her?""Yes, but why are you here? Should you not be with Kelly?"He shrugged. "She commanded me to go and save her sister; besides, she is at father's house, and Mario is also with them."I nodded, but then I remembered, "What about Dean?""No one has seen him. Maybe he was kidnapped too."I nodded. They must have kidnapped Dean, because I was wondering how they got the password into our first storage
Reagan's pov"Reagan, remember to give me the files before you go to bed." My brother told me, then led his wife away.I nodded, then watched them both go to their seats. After the last incident and everything, I was getting closer to my brother again. Although I try to be careful while dealing with him, he has not betrayed us again with his deals, as I ensured to look through them all.I guess the last time was kind of a one-time f*ckup, and he was looking forward to the future with his mate, who is pregnant with a child, as I was with Alix.I looked around to see my late, but she was not beside me. I tried to mind-link her, but I couldn't. I looked for her around the room, but I could not see her anywhere. And for some reason, I felt so uneasy.I went to where Kelly was sitting and showed Kingsley something that was on her phone."Excuse me?" I whispered, and they raised their faces."Have you seen Alix since we entered together, or did the Queen send her som
"Who is my love with the heart emoji that you cut his call off?"She smiled and said, "Just a boy I met in Paris when I went for a show. Nothing serious."Kelly scoffed. "Please, it has to be something serious, or you will not be posting his name with the heart emoji. Or is his d*ck so good that it has made you fall in love immediately?"Amelia laughed, then whispered, "Maybe it is like Kingsley's own."You should have written my eternity in his name if his d*ck game is as good as my mate," Kelly chipped in."Maybe I should have," she said, and they both started laughing."You both are crazy," I said, and I started to eat my food.Kelly gave me the side eye. "Trying to act like I do not hear you screaming almost night, Damn Maybe we should do a foursome, me, you, and Reagan. What do you think?""I think you should shut your mouth," I said sweetly, and she hissed."Joy killer, always shitting on people's awesome ideas," she said, then turned to Amelia."He has money, right?""Yup, and
Alix Pov One month later.Ughhh, I feel like a whale." I groaned and tried to stand up like before, but I couldn't because of the baby in my stomach. Even though I was just three weeks pregnant, I barely had any energy these days.When I looked at the wall clock, it was almost noon, and I hadn't gone to fit my dress. I had promised Kelly and Amelia that I would meet them there about an hour ago and not fall asleep.But it was not my fault; it was Mini Reagan's fault. He liked to make me dizzy, and I felt weak all the time. He also makes me tear like a water pot, and that was how Queen Elizabeth found out that I was pregnant before Reagan perceived my scent changing and took me to the hospital.Kelly is pregnant too; we found out at the same time, but she was a bit more energetic than I was and loved to dress up. She spent so much time doing it than she ordinarily used to do before. The seer told us that her baby was a girl, which is
