CHAPTER SIXTY-SIXA New PlanBree and Ian were in the room, sitting on the bed with their arms wrapped around each other. They had been talking and laughing for a while, enjoying each other's company. As they leaned in for a kiss, Ian cupped Bree's face, his head hovering right above hers.Their lips met in a passionate kiss, their bodies pressed against each other. Ian's hands moved to Bree's waist, pulling her closer to him. She responded eagerly, her hands moving to his hair, tangling in the strands as they kissed.As their kiss deepened, Ian's tongue swept across Bree's lips, seeking entrance. Bree parted her lips, granting him access as their tongues danced together in a passionate embrace.Ian's hands moved from Bree's waist to her back, pulling her tightly against him. Bree moaned into his mouth as she felt the hard planes of his body pressed against hers.They broke the kiss, gasping for air, their eyes locked on each other's. Ian trailed his lips down Bree's neck, nibbling an
CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVENThis Is The EndIt was the morning.Alarick opened his eyes one after the other to the sound of the knock on his door. He grumbled as he rubbed his eyes, he tried to shake off the remaining sleep and wipe his blurry eyes.He stood up from the bed and stretched, before making his way to the door, he wondered who could be at his at that hour of the day, it was still so early and be couldn’t tell who could be there. He no longer allows the maids to take his bath for him so he couldn’t tell. As Alarick got to the door and reach for the doorknob, a realization struck him and he came to a halt.“Thank Goodness,” he murmured.Alarick quickly turned back and he rushed to the floor where the chain he used to bound himself during the midnight takeover was. He heaved out a sigh of relief as he took the chain from the floor and secretly packed it away, making sure that no one would suspect what had happened during the night. He didn’t know who was at the door and it was relief
CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHTPrince Lyall Of The Blood Moon PackLeanda stood at the door of Alarick's chamber, her heart heavy with confusion and hurt. She replayed their recent encounter in her mind, desperately searching for answers. What had just happened? How had their connection taken such a drastic turn? She struggled to comprehend the sudden shift in Alarick's behavior, unable to find a rational explanation. His words kept echoing in her head.The confusion deepened as Leanda tried to dissect the change in Alarick. She had always known that he had a complex nature, driven by his inner wolf, but he had always treated her with a certain level of respect and affection. Now, it seemed as if that had all vanished, leaving behind an unfamiliar and cold demeanor. She couldn't understand what had caused this transformation, what had triggered such a drastic shift in his treatment towards her.Lost in her thoughts, Leanda's mind became a jumble of conflicting emotions. She remembered the times
CHAPTER SIXTY-NINEHere For A Wife“Leanda, take Lyall to the second room in the chamber. He will be staying there, and like I said, make sure he is comfortable,” Bree instructed.Leanda bowed slightly, acknowledging Bree's instruction, and watched as Bree turned to leave. As Bree walked away, Leanda couldn't help but feel a mixture of relief and apprehension. She knew that being in close proximity to Bree's brother would bring about its own set of challenges and uncertainties.Leanda started to make her way towards the designated room, and she sensed Lyall's presence following closely behind her. With each step she took, she couldn't resist stealing glances back at him, trying to decipher the enigma that was Bree's seemingly contrasting sibling.Her mind was filled with a jumble of thoughts. How could someone so seemingly kind and charming be related to someone as malicious as Bree? What did Lyall's presence in the palace mean for her? Would his presence bring about a positive change
CHAPTER SEVENTYThe Five Stages Of TakeoverAlarick sat at the edge of his bed, his mind was consumed by the jumble of his thoughts, he was lost in the pool of his own thoughts. Alatick felt trapped within the first stage of the takeover, a stage that had caged him in uncontrollable anger without reason. It was a demanding and suffocating feeling that he couldn't escape. He gets angry with no cause, his rage builds up at any little thing and it gets so hard to control it.As he thought about the situation, Alarick's heart sank with the knowledge that the next stage would soon follow, and it might be worse than this. He braced himself for what was to come, unsure of what lay ahead of him and what was in this next stage. The uncertainty of his situation gnawed at him, leaving him yearning to be normal, just like everyone was.With a loud and heavy sigh, Alarick rose from the bed and made his way to his desk. There, was the book he had been reading to gain more idea about the takeover and
CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONEHer New FriendLeanda stood frozen at the door, her eyes wide and her mouth agape, as she heard Lyall's unexpected words about coming to the kingdom to find a wife. Confusion washed over her, and she couldn't help but question why he would travel all the way to their kingdom when there were likely many potential suitors within his own realm.Her mind raced with doubts and suspicions. The fact that Lyall was Bree's brother added an extra layer of uncertainty to his intentions. Leanda couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to his presence in the kingdom than he was letting on. She wondered if he had ulterior motives or hidden agendas.As she looked up at Lyall, she found herself caught in a momentary conflict. On one hand, his face and demeanor didn't give off a sense of malevolence or deceit. There was a certain kindness and sincerity in his eyes that made it difficult for her to dismiss him outright. Yet, she couldn't help but question whether her intui
CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWOMine And Mine Alone“Aren’t we being too fast?” Lyall asked.Leanda looked up at him, she wanted to talk but her words choked in throat, she couldn’t force them out.And as Lyall's head hovered above Leanda's, a jumble of emotions and silence filled the air. Leanda could feel his warm breath and heavy breaths on her face, which caused a shrill to rush down her spine. Different thoughts raced through her mind, leading to a whirlwind of emotions within her.A side of her questioned the rightness of the situation, she didn’t know if it was right or not. Leanda was still in an entanglement with Alarick, a complicated relationship. She believed giving in to Lyall’s sweet words and tough wad like betraying her own feelings and Alarick. Doubt covered her judgment, whispering warnings that this path she was about to take could lead to further complications and damage.But another part of her longed to explore, she wanted him, she wanted to surrender to the undeniable attrac
CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREEClaiming HerAlarick's anger surged through his veins, fueling his actions and words. He forcefully grabbed Leanda's hand, his fingers clenching tightly around her delicate wrist. His voice thundered through the room as he yelled at her, his words sharp and piercing, expressing his possessiveness and anger."You're mine! No one else has the right to touch you!" he bellowed, his voice laced with fury and dominance. Leanda met his glare, defiance burning in her eyes, but she remained silent, unable to find her voice in the face of his rage. Her body trembled in his grip, feeling the intensity of his anger coursing through his veins.Alarick's grip tightened even further, his fingers digging into her skin as his blood boiled with fury. He held her firmly, his anger evident in his tightened muscles and clenched jaw. His thoughts swirled in a tempest of emotions, a mix of possessiveness, betrayal, and an overwhelming need to protect what he considered his.In that mom
CHAPTER NINETY-FOURThe SentenceAlarick’s heart thumped in his chest as he held on to the result, it was like his heart was going to burst out wide. He shook his head and pinched himself stylishly, just to be sure that he wasn’t dreaming and he was seeing right.He gazed back at the result and it only stared back at him, the same thing he saw before. His greatest fear peered at him, it was becoming a reality and there was nothing he could do about it, he was loosing himself and the one he loved, and he had nothing to say, he couldn’t do anything to stop it.His soul shattered as he shook his head, “0.00%.” He murmured and a tear escaped from his eyes.His greatest fear has become a reality, against all his wishes, against all his prayers. He held on to the result, his hand shook from rage and anguish, he felt like he was loosing everything he owned, he felt like he was loosing all he cared about, and he just didn’t know what to do.His hands shook as he stared at the report again. He
CHAPTER NINETY-THREEThe ResultLeanda paced back and forth in the room, her heart thumped in her heart with each step she took, it was just less than an hour to the twenty-four hours that was said by the physician and she would soon find out her fate.She chewed on her finger as she paced back her forth, murmuring a silent prayer that the result turns out to be what she wants, she prayed that Alarick turns out to be the father of the baby, that was the only thing she wanted.She felt like her heart would burst out wide as it kept missing a beat, she staggered over most of her steps as she walked up and down, she hoped that things would go the way she wanted and she wouldn’t have to go away from Alarick.He was her live, he was the man she loved and she couldn’t imagine her life without him, she couldn’t imagine being away from him.The worse that was would happen was being taken by Lyall away from the kingdom, and just the thought of that terrified her, she didn’t want to be away fro
CHAPTER NINETY-TWOThe Test"Let's go!" Lyall shouted and grabbed Leanda’s hand, forcefully pulling her along with him.Leanda turned back again to see Alarick still standing in the same spot he was, her heart broke into million pieces as she watched his emotionless face.“A…Alarick,” she murmured as she was pulled forcefully by Lyall, who didn’t even give her the chance to say her goodbyes, he kept on dragging her without looking back.Tears rolled down Leanda’s eyes, she knew she made a mistake, she knew she had committed a big sin, she knew she had done something unforgivable, but she doesn’t want to go away from Alarick, she wanted to be with him but he seemed like he doesn’t want that.Her shoulders shook as she was being dragged away, she didn’t know what else she could do, she wanted to stay, she wanted to be with Alarick, but she had destroyed their relationship with the mistake she made, Leanda felt responsible for the situation she had found herself.Suddenly, Lyall found hi
CHAPTER NINETY-ONEHer Infidelity “I have the pictures and video here,” Lyall said and moved closer to Alarick, “Now, you will have no other option than to believe that this woman is not who you think she is,” he added and glared at Leanda.Leanda hung her head, it was all her fault, she was responsible for this situation she was in, she was responsible for it all.How could she have believed Lyall? She trusted him and believed that he was a friend and now the same one who professionally acted like the best man she had ever met was destroying everything she had worked for. Leanda could remember what she had to go through before Alarick realized he was in love with her and even with the presence of the baby, she thought it was going to be a happy life for them afterwards. She thought she was finally going to live her dreams of being with the man she loved and living a happy life afterwards, but now she doesn’t think that such thing would ever happen.Lyall held Alarick’s hand and pl
CHAPTER NINETYThe Conspiracy Alarick cupped Leanda’s face and looked into her teary eyes, he still couldn’t believe all Bree was saying and he wanted to hear from her directly, he wanted to hear her say that it was the truth before believing it. “Tell me Leanda, is she saying the truth?”“Yes, she is.” A voice said. They all turned back to see Lyall walking towards them, “Yes, she is carrying my baby, and the future king of the Blood Moon Pack,” he added as he walked to them.“You.” Alarick growled, his resentment grew inside of him, just with the sight or Lyall. He has detested him right from the day he met him in that compromising position with Leanda, and even after that, it got to him that Leanda went back to see him.Alarick didn’t want to believe that leanda went to him on her own free will, he believed that she might have been forced to do that and Lyall would be behind it all because he looked like a cunning person to him, just like his sister.“She is carrying my child, and
CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINEThe Heir Of The Blood Moon PackBree looked up at Leanda with a smile which changed into a wicked smirk almost immediately, “this woman right here is carrying the child of my brother, Lyall, the prince of the Blood Moon Pack.” She announced with a big smile on her face.“What!” Alarick and Leanda exclaimed.There it was, Bree’s entire plan, and why she had been silent all along. That was she had been planning and why she had been quiet, she was planning a big strike, one which leanda wouldn’t be able to escape from. She had it all planned and was waiting for the right time to strike.Leanda just stood frozen on the spot, unable to say or do anything, she had been caught by Bree and she was unable to think about anything that might save her from this situation.She thought she was safe and she was finally out of her plan when Bree didn’t talk about it, but she never knew that she was planning a bigger plan, one she wouldn’t be escape from, she didn’t know what to do
CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHTPregnant 2“Your highness, Leanda is pregnant!” Morgana announced.Alarick stood still, buying more minutes to process what was just said, he couldn’t really believe it. Just few minutes ago, he was thinking about how he and failed to provide a heir for his kingdom even after taking the pain to go to the human world to go and bring Leanda.He was only thinking about it all few minutes before Leanda collapsed to the floor, he couldn’t believe that what he thought he had failed at finally happened. He thought he failed at giving the kingdom the heir which they deserved, he thought he had failed, but he hasn’t.“A..Are you sure about this?” He asked for confirmation, “Are you sure she is pregnant?” He asked again and moved close to Morgana, “Is she really pregnant? Is she carrying my child?” He asked and Morgana nodded.Alarick had never been so emotional, he couldn’t believe it. Just minutes ago, he was thinking abutting his end time and how the most important thing
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIXPregnant Three Weeks LaterLeanda was in Alarick’s chamber, cleaning the furniture. Alatick sat on the bed, watching her as she does that.It’s been weeks and the only thing that has grown between them was the sexual tension, Alarick had been cold as he was before, he pushes her away whenever he wants and call her back when he feels like.His anger was still there, and in the last three weeks, he has overcome the stage of irritation and now he was facing the unusual thirst for blood. Alarick almost killed one of the guards when the sudden thirst started, but he got to know after that, that keeping Leanda close to him suppresses the thirst a bit.So, he gave Leanda a rule not to ever leave his side, in the hope that he would be able to control himself, while Leanda thought he did that because he didn’t want her to go see Lyall again.Alarick knew he had just two stages left before the complete takeover happens and he would lose everything that made him; his body, his
CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVEI Own YouLeanda’s mind began race with possible scenarios and outcomes of what could happen if that was true, she was paralyzed by fear and unable to move. She wondered if Bree had told Alarick what she did and he was here to pass his judgment on her, her whole body trembled just by the thought of that.Alarick wouldn’t take it lightly with her, he wouldn’t let her go scot free if he gets to know about her infidelity. She looked at Bree and she could see a smile on her face, her heart sank, she knew Bree has done something.“H…have I been caught?” Leanda stutteredChloe moved closer to her and held her hand, giving her the comfort, warmth and assurance that she was not alone in this and she would stand by her, against anyone.“I am here with you Leanda, nothing would go wrong,” Chloe assured her but Leanda couldn’t get her mind off what could be the outcome of what was about to happen this night.Leanda felt like no one could really understand what she was going t
