Kendrix“Which Orient are you talking about Dad?”Jordan asked beating me to the question.“There is only one place called Orient right? That’s what I am talking about son,”Father said in a calm voice like he didn’t just drop a bomb. The Orient was untouchable and he couldn’t be serious.“What? Father? That’s impossible to do,”Jordan yelled at our father, yeah, it was impossible even for me but I wasn’t about to say a word, I was still trying to process the whole thing and I figured shouting won’t even solve the problem, yeah because it is a huge problem what my father was asking for.“It is not impossible with the right source,”Father responded to Jordan, looking from him to me.“I need to be sure whoever becomes the next alpha will do good by the pack members and be a source of progress, if you can’t do something as little as that, then how can you be king?”Father said. I couldn’t get past the fact that this man, who had been sitting on that throne and being the alpha king witho
Arielyn“How dare you?” Jordan yelled as he sent a punch to Kendrix's face but he dodged and threw another punch at Jordan who wasn’t so lucky and got hit, I couldn’t believe the scene that was unfolding before my eyes, one minute I was sitting in a car wondering where the hell I was, the next minute, Kendrix showed up and informed me where we were at and before I could process that, my worst nightmare showed up and now they were fighting, I froze for a moment not knowing what to do, they both look like they were about to kill each other, Ken’s usual blue eyes were now deep amber, they were both growling at each other and I realized things would get really messy if I don’t stop them, I got out of the car as fast as I could, I wasn’t about to let them kill themselves because of me in their father's house, I already had a lot on my plate, the sons of the alpha king fighting because of me should not be added to the mix. “You guys, that’s enough.” I yelled and tried to push them apart,
Arielyn“Winrose, I am not stopping her from being your chief bridesmaid, and I am not stopping her from being your friend either, she is a good person and I am not saying otherwise, all I am saying is that she can’t stay here, I don’t want trouble and you do not want your dad to lose a deal he just got right? He walked hard for it and it will break him if he loses it, Think about our family,” Rose’s mom said. “Mom, how do you want me to tell her that she can’t stay here? I am the reason she came down here in the first place, her dad is just being an evil jerk, you don’t want to be as bad as he is right? Please Mom, please don’t make me do this, I don’t want to,” Rose cried and I finally understood what was going on. My dad was at it again, and going by what Rose’s mom was saying, he threatened them. I should have expected him to do something like this too, I should have seen it coming, I felt bad for putting Rose in the position. “I am sorry sweetheart, your dad and I already co
KendrixWhen I gave Arielyn my contact, I never expected her to call me in the first place, I was shocked when I got her call right after I dropped a call with my dad, he called to query me about the fight with Jordan and I told him it was his fault that we were fighting, if he had raised Jordan right, he would not be so disrespectful, he had threatened to pass the ultimatum to other people and I was so close to telling to do as he please, heck no one will take him serious once they find out what he wants in exchange for the throne, even I am finding it hard to believe the orient is what he truly wants, he had ended the call after telling me to focus on what’s more important instead of petty fights, if I didn’t know my father, I would have assumed he was rooting for me, but I know him enough to know that those exact same words are what he used or will use for Jordan too, for me, if he didn’t want us fighting, he would have just let the eldest be king and I was the eldest, by right I
Kendrix “Yeah, even if you do become king of this pack? Other packs? Let’s be for real you can’t save us, you are going to be king of a pack not the whole of Owhen or the world, vampires will never be safe around werewolves, even if we do nothing, we will still get killed,” He was wrong, yes, I can’t be king of the world but for Owhen? There is only one king, All packs answer to the alpha king, yeah except the blue ray pack, it just had to be the only ones that are not loyal to him, I finally figured out why Father had chosen the Orient, yeah the diamond might be his goal but it was a known fact that father hated that the blue ray pack never pay homage to him or the throne, they were like a lonely pack who did their own thing and associate more with humans than wolves from other packs, I couldn’t blame them they were treated badly by wolves in the past, they grew a thick skin and fought to be free, little wonder why father wanted the pack to be under him too, and he was using us to
Arielyn I lay on the bed long after Kendrix left me in the room, I was just staring at the ceiling right now but for about thirty minutes after he left me in the room, all I did was cry and right now, I was beyond exhausted, I just wanted to sleep till it was time for Rose to get married so that I can be out of this sick country for good, never, I am never coming back here again after I leave, this place brought nothing but pain to me, if I didn’t love Rose so much, I would have left this minute and not look back but Winrose was there for me at my lowest and I couldn’t miss her big day. My phone buzzed in my purse and I got up to check it, there was an incoming call from Rose, she must be so worried about me, I should have called her as soon as I got in. “Rose,” I called when I picked up the call. “Ari, I have been trying to get through to you,” She let out. I could feel the panic in her voice, I felt bad for not calling her immediately knowing how worried she must have been. “
Kendrix I glared at the message my father sent after making me wait two long days, he just sent three contacts and two of those were people I will never willingly get involved with because I knew what they were and I avoided their kind as much as I can, one was a real estate agent, Dino, of course I had no problem with him personally but he wasn’t a straightforward businessman and result to doing a lot of things illegally, one time, I had his agency find me a new space for one of my hotels, he had demanded for three times the original price of the property, I won’t have had a problem with him if he had not lied about the whole thing after I caught him, I understand why my father sent his contact, but I wasn’t going to be calling or having anything to do with him, he could play both me and Jordan, I just don’t trust him. The second person, Eric Huge-man was no different from Dino, they were pretty much birds of the same feather, the difference is, Eric was a full-time political figur
Kendrix“Oh, my gosh, I am so sorry,” I said. That was all I could say because I didn’t know what else to say to console her, she smiled wearily. “I am good, just that I stole my dad’s mate for life and he hated me for it and never forgave me,” She further revealed, as much as I understand her father’s pain of losing his mate, I mean I lost mine eight years ago and I still mourn her, but I would never have taken it out on our child if Veronica and I have had one, never, there was simply no excuse for making your child feel unloved. “That’s not an excuse to not care for you and love you,” I responded and I meant it, if Veronica and I had a child, I would have protected the child with my life, and I would have given all the love I couldn’t give to the mom to the child, there was no way I would have neglected the child I had with the woman I loved, a child that came as a result of our love, it just didn’t sit right with me no matter how I think about it, Arielyn’s father failed both
Arielyn “Oh my, Kenny,”I let out when he went on his knees in front of me, I hadn’t been expecting him to do that, we have been together for almost a year now and our love grew stronger every day so it was kind of expected but I thought he would do it towards the time he has to take over from his dad. The way he planned it all on his own, even did the decorations on his own, so spontaneous and so my Kenny. I couldn’t help the tears that escaped from my eyes just looking at him. Every new day, I fell in love with him a little more. Every day with him has been a blissful experience. “You had this all planned out and I didn’t even know?”I asked but it wasn’t even a question. More tears fell from my eyes as I walked slowly to him. “Yes, baby, I think I took a little too long to do this, the other night at your family’s cookout, I didn’t like that my sweetie was the only one without a wedding band, I had to correct that fast before someone thinks you are not taken and steal you away f
KendrixHer siblings and her father have done a good job so far trying to gain her trust and favor. We both stood there watching the women have fun, his other brothers and Jayden Win-rose’s husband joined us, because of Arielyn, I not only got the throne that I always wanted, but I also got friends and a family. I had better relationships with people now and even my mom confirmed that I was a better man now. I had my baby to thank, she came into my life and gave me everything I wanted and everything I never thought I needed and I wanted it to be forever. I wanted to make her my wife soon and the queen of my heart. Even though I wanted to ask her as soon as possible, I wanted something special for her so I went for a custom-made ring which had both of our initials engraved in it. I didn’t get the ones for the wedding as I wanted her to have a say in what we would get. It took about a week for the ring to be ready and delivered and while I waited for it to arrive, I made preparations f
Kendrix I watched Arielyn talk and laugh with some women who were at the cookout, some of whom were her brothers’ wives and their friends. We were at a cookout that her older brother was hosting at her family’s resort. I looked at their fingers and realized she was the only one not wearing a ring, I knew it was time to fix that. The past seven months have been nothing but blissful for me. Arielyn was and is the best thing that ever happened to me, I couldn’t stay away from her for long, I took her everywhere with me and she willingly followed me even though she sometimes had to work, I made sure our schedules never crashed to the extent of me going away without her, the only time I traveled without her had been hell so I ended up sending my jet to go get her. she talked about me being too obsessed with her and I accepted it whole-heartedly and told her I was making up for all the times we couldn’t be together because I had been blinded, if Veronica had not done what she did to me, I
Arielyn“You are lost in thoughts again, what are you thinking about?”Win asked, bringing me out of my thoughts, I smiled. “I am just thinking about how everything changed for me since I came back to O-when, I never thought my life would be like this when I parked my bags and got on the plane, all I wanted was to come for your wedding and also spend time with you,”I told her. “I know, right, I also didn’t think everything would turn out like this even though I was hoping you would find happiness, all I wanted was for you to get laid but you got more than that,”“You are the main reason all of this happened, this is why you are the love of my life, you bring good fortune to me,”I cheered. “If I am the love of your life, where does that leave your man? I am sure he won’t agree,”“He knows his place, and he is happy with it, he knows I love him and he also knows that I love you,”I answered and we both laughed, we had fun far into the night before we went to sleep. I woke up the ne
Arielyn Kendrix didn’t go back to his house that day, he called his mom who was indeed his darling, and told him he wouldn’t be home, he even got me to speak to her, and she told me that she had been waiting to meet me and Raul too since Kendrix told her about us and I told her we will move back to the house soon. Yes, I know I moved out recently and should probably stick to my home house until Kendrix and I get married but I didn’t know when that would be and I was already used to living with him. For my house not to go to waste, I found a family that was in need of accommodation and gave them the house for free. It was my little way of saying thank you to the universe for giving me a chance to be truly happy. The next couple of weeks went pretty fast for me, time tends to pass a lot faster when one is happy and yes. I was happy, the happiest I have ever been since I could tell what happiness was. For the first time in my life, I had my family by my side and I had the man I love wh
Arielyn Hearing Kendrix say the words love made me feel hot and anxious, I know he talked about working things out and wanting me to trust him again, I just didn’t think he would say the L words, didn’t even think he had that kind of feelings for me, I just thought he cared about me enough to not want someone else, that I was useful to him and his goal, but hearing him say the words I so much wanted to hear from him changed everything but then again, I couldn’t just blindly believe that he suddenly has feelings for me. as much as I love to hear him say he loves me; I didn’t want him to lie about it. “You don’t have to lie, Ken, I already agreed, we can work things out and build our relationship again, you don’t need to tell me you love me when you know that’s not true,”I told him, I didn’t want to be given any false hope. “Ari, I messed up, I understand that you can’t trust me right now but know, one thing, I am not lying to you, Ari, I love you, I really do, I don’t want to talk
Kendrix “No, you are special to me, Arielyn, and I am not lying, I only found out the day you left because I went to confront my brother and found them both together in an intimate position after she lied to me that he was trying to kill her. they set me up and I stupidly fell for it, Jordan called you that night to come and see because it was all part of their plans, Jordan wanted to get back at me for not giving up the throne for him and Veronica hated to see me happy,”I explained. “I don’t understand, what?”She asked. “Yeah, it is a long story,”“Let’s go over there, I am tired of standing,”She said, pointing to the terrace, I nodded and followed her, she took a seat and gestured for me to do the same which I did, I sat there just looking at her, missing her so much, wanting to hug her and be close to her instead of just sitting far from her. she wasn’t even looking at me. “Are you going to stare at me all day or you are going to explain the bizarre story you share?”She ask
Kendrix Arielyn wasn’t looking convinced by my explanation and I was slowly losing hope that she would ever look past what had happened and come back to me, everything I was saying sounded different to her, plan B? That has never crossed my mind. I couldn’t give up, I desperately wanted her to come back to me, the past week hadn’t been nice at all, I couldn’t focus on anything, nothing else mattered, not even when my father made the official announcement, I was just there standing beside him being announced as the heir but I wasn’t there, all I could think about was how to get Arielyn back, I couldn’t even remember what I had said on that day because I hadn’t been focus while speaking, I left the palace immediately I was no longer needed. I couldn’t escape for long because my father called me back, I had to meet a lot of important people and be introduced to them. The whole reason I finally found out where she lives was because I went to see her dad, he didn’t let me in at first but
Arielyn “Arielyn, please come back home,”I couldn’t believe his audacity, how could he show up at my house uninvited and expect me to follow him? “Get out of my house, I don’t want to see you near me, I am not going back with you anywhere, I already told you that day, that I am done with whatever contract we had, there is nothing in it for me so why should I still keep living with you?”I fired at him, I wanted to add; “Especially when you have another woman in your house,” But I didn’t say it. “I am not here because of the contract, it doesn’t matter anyway,”“That’s good then, move your car away from my gate, I need to get into my house,”I warned him as I backed away and opened my car door to get it, he was faster than me because he stopped me from getting into my car, our bodies touched and I had to fight the stupid feeling that built up inside me at the contact. “Why are you harassing me? Do you want me to call the cops on you?”I let out. “I am sorry but I can’t let you le
