AlexanderI got back to the room and went straight to my mini bar to get myself a bottle of wine and two glasses. I filled up one of the glasses and halved it in one sip while I fix my eyes on the door, each passing second felt like a century.My wolf was restless, the little bastard was tired of waiting and couldn't wait any longer to feel the warm touch from his mate. He was ready to ravage his mate.I quickly mind-linked one of my head commanders and alerted him that I do not wish to be disturbed.I was about to take the third glass when the door opened and Ashley naively walked in.“You kept me waiting Ashley,” I said sipping from my glass. Her scent made me crazy and I was doing everything within me not to mess things up.It's her first time, so I have to make it a memorable one for her too.“I'm sorry,” she mumbled as she subconsciously bit her lower.“Come” I ordered, filling up another wine glass. She walked slowly to where I was and I could almost sense her naiveness.On a n
Jessica's POVHonestly, I am surprised that I am yet to hear any sort of confrontation between Janet and the slave girl.Not what I expected, for my plan to work, I need both of them to get into a heated argument.I have been avoiding going into Alex's apartment as I don't want to be fingered as a suspect for the crime that would be committed.The wait is killing me, I can't believe they have decided to live peacefully despite what I told them yesterday. I have been peeping through my window for the past hour to see if any of them would come out of the apartment, but nothing yet.Derrick is going to be furious if I fail this time.I was about to leave the window when I saw Janet coming out of the apartment with Olivia.Little witch.I hurried out of my apartment to catch them before they go to wherever they were headed.“Hey Janet,” I called out wearing a pretentious smile when in reality she disgust me.I can't imagine a whore sitting on the throne-like Luna, worst still is an ordina
JessicaIt was already very late in the night and I waited this long because I did not want anyone to see me entering Derrick's apartment. I had previously told him that I would be coming to the entrance to the main house was open.I found him sitting in his sitting room and he asks me to go into his room while he locks the door.The maids and servants were all already sleeping including his little brat of a daughter.“Did you miss me,” Derrick questioned as soon as he close the door leading to his room. He threw his hand around my waist while using his tongue to lick my neckline.That is all I ever get from him, anytime he sees me, he wants to fucking have sex. Not that I am complaining, we don't have too much to talk about other sex and planning on how to take over the kingdom.Also, I came to see him because I needed to clear my head before embarking on the journey in the morning.“Not going as I expected but still, totally doable since I have the perfect alibi,” I said to him wh
JessicaI was very careful while marching with other warriors in the woods. I was armed with my bow and arrow and very few essentials that were inside my backpack.It was no use bringing a lot of things since I have a plan of not staying with them for long. I have plans to sneak my way back to the pack when no one is watching.We have been walking for close to two hours straight as it was already daybreak. I kept wondering when Derrick's men were going to show up.The anxiety was killing me as I subconsciously looked around to see any sign of them.“Let's take a thirty minutes break,” I heard Alexander say to his men and they all started gathering themselves into various groups to chat and have their light breakfast.“Jessica,” I heard Alexander call out when I was still looking for where to sit down. “Yeah, alpha,” I answered, not liking the fact that I was going to meet him where he was seated, as I was doing everything possible to avoid him. But since I had no choice I walked in h
AshleyIt must be a dream, it has to be a dream, I said to myself as I woke up in fright to find my body and everywhere covered in dust.A loud blast woke me up from where I was sleeping in the secret room. It sounded like an explosion.I went into the secret room when Alexander had left because the room reminded me so much of him and subconsciously I had fallen asleep there.What is happening I wondered as I attempt to go to the main room to find out what could have caused the explosion. But as I moved closer to the door the voices I heard coming from the bedroom stopped me in my track.“We have searched everywhere alpha, she is not here” I heard one of the men say. I wonder who he was talking to and why they were looking for me. My first thought was that it might be Alexander, that he might have sent some of his men to come and get me, but again why would they be violent if they were indeed sent by him?The next voice I heard shattered my heart, it was not the voice, in particula
Two months laterAshley“Are you sure you are alright?” Olivia asked me over and over again, With her face all filled with concern.“I'm fine Oliver, I'm just having stomach upset,” I said cleaning my mouth after I had just emptied the little soup I managed to prepare for the both of us.“Please don't be sick, you know we can't go to the doctor because we have no money,” she said, her voice laced with unshed tears.“Olivia stop that I just told you I am fine, common please,” I said trying to force myself to smile to at least convince the little girl that she had nothing to worry about.When the truth is that she has a lot of reasons to be worried. I have been vomiting nonstop for the past two weeks and as a result, I was getting weaker by the day.I had initially thought that I was this sick due to our poor condition of living, but now I am beginning to suspect something else.Thinking of the fact that I might be pregnant is slowly killing me inside. First, because I do not have any s
Three months laterAlexander POVHelpless.That is how I feel right now, I have been lying down here for as long as I can remember not able to move or talk with anyone.I can hear the movement of people going out and coming into the room I am in, but they don't seem to see that I am making effort to talk to them. I am desperate to ask them what is going on and who are they.I can't remember knowing any of them or hearing their voices before now. I do not know why they allow me to lie down here without moving my hands and legs which were seriously stinging me from what I assumed to be pins or injections inserted into them.Even though I do not know who they are, they seem like good people, they have been talking about trying to wake me up, but I am not sleeping. I can hear them loud and clear but they don't seem to see that. That I have been trying to move my body so that they know that I am here and can hear them very well.“He is completely healed alpha,
Jessica I was on the bed with my hands handcuffed to the bed and was trying to sleep when the door slammed open and Derrick walked in looking very angry.I thought about whether or not to ask him what the problem was, but thought against it and waited till he decides if he is telling me or not.He roamed the room restlessly, looking disturbed and I could tell that whatever was troubling him was huge.After some time, there was a knock on the door, he moved to open the door for the person to come in.A huge man that has his body heavily tattooed walked in, from first glance one could tell he was a rogue. A bad oneHis eyes instantly came in contact with my naked body on the bed but quickly shifts his gaze away to Derrick.“Do you know where he is right now?” I hear Derrick ask the man in a rage.“If I knew, he would be dead as we speak and you won't have any reason to be this disturbed,” the man said to Derrick while sparing me a few glances.The man didn't look too terrified of Derr
Alexander.It's been a week since the death of Derrick, and he has been buried accordingly. Pack members who ran away are gradually coming back, and the pack is slowly rebuilding itself.Today I will be officially addressing the pack members for the first time since I came back. to reassure them that the pack was once again safe and that it would be for a long time.I have started training a new set of warriors, and those warriors that were slaughtered by Derrick will have a monument built in their honor.Their children and the spouses they left behind would be duly provided for and cared for by the royal house.Olivia has decided she is to live with Ashley and me till she is eighteen and has asked us to get her adopted.Also, Kai will be going back to his pack today after the meeting. He had previously asked me to pardon Jessica for her crimes as his payment for helping me out in a time of need.Hopefully, she turns into a better person for him and they both find happiness in each ot
Alexander.I got back to the room to see that Ashley was still sleeping. I quietly walked into the bathroom to freshen up before joining her on the bed."Good morning," I said when I noticed her eyes were partially open."Good morning," she said as she stretched nicely on the bed with her two erected nipples poking out of her newly bought silk nightwear.I leaned in to kiss her on her lips, but she stylishly turned her face away, and I ended up kissing her cheeks.She was about to get up when I gently pulled her hand back into bed."Ashley, we need to talk," I said to her.She looked away, like someone that had so many reservations bottled up within her but was afraid of letting them out."Something has been bothering you and you are not talking to me. I want to share in your burden, whatever it may be. Because I can't bear to see you sad, my first job as king is to ensure that you, my luna, are happy. Did I do anything wrong? I promise I will make adjustments, please, "I said in a ca
KaiHave you ever found yourself struggling with a decision you have made or are about to make?I know it may seem that my decision to demote Jessica may seem a bit too harsh, but trust me, I know what I am doing. At least, I believe I do.Jessica is very proud and arrogant. For her to become my luna, she has to first taste what it is like to be nothing.Because the people that make up my pack are people that were either rejected or bullied by their previous pack.Also, she needs to realize that there is a tough price to be paid for every decision that one takes.Honestly, I do not hate her, and if anything, I love her more than words can express, and it is my love for her that is pushing me to try to make her into a better person.And I will make sure she realizes the importance of friendship, love, and family. I also know that she has had her fair share of bad decisions. My job is to ensure that she respects everyone she comes in contact with, because the person you are seeing down
Three days later.Alexander."Have you decided yet what to do with Derrick?" Kai asked me during our morning workout.The movement that Ashley heard the other night while in the woods was that of Kai and his men. He said he got worried after waiting tirelessly for me to return, and when I didn't, he mobilized his men to come to look for me, because he felt I was in some sort of trouble.It's been three days since we came back home, and up till now, I have yet to decide what to do with Derrick.The truth is that I have been thinking about how to address Derrick's issue, as it is very delicate.Even though I know very well that for all the atrocities he has committed, death should be the only option available on the table.But at the same time, I can't just get past the fact that hurting Derrick indirectly means hurting Olivia.He may have been a monster to us all, but he is still her father. Will she ever forgive me by the time she is grown up and gets to
Alexander.We must have stared at each other for a few minutes before I tried to remind myself that I had things to say. Most of which I don't remember. You can't blame me. My wolf is going overboard with the excitement of seeing his mate.I thought of ways of starting the conversation so I don't piss her off, especially since I am yet to fully understand how her powers work.Don't get me wrong I am not scared of her, I am Alexander, and I am not scared of anyone, but it's just that I can't risk having someone throw up in the air like a little toy or balloon or whatever you can imagine."You are scared of our mate," my wolf said teasingly.Idiot."No, I am not," I snorted at him, after which I blocked him completely so he would not interfere in my conversation with Ashley.Talking with Ashley now is a bit different from before. I mean, I would have tried going close to her by now and maybe raised my voice a little, but now I have to tread with caution."Why did you run away?" I asked
Ashley."What do you mean? I don't understand," I asked in genuine confusion."I am sorry, but I am not who you think I am. My story is not something I love to share because it's not a very plantable one," she said as her eyes were beginning to cloud with unshed tears.I didn't even know what to say or how to react to the things she was saying but seeing her hurting so much made my heart ache.This is a different version of the Grace I used to know back at the pack. She used to be so full of life and bubbling that even I felt motivated by her energy."If you feel talking about it would make you feel better, then why not let it out? We have all night out here," I calmly said to her.She looked at me as if examining me to see if I could take what she was about to say, and I nodded gently to her, urging her to proceed with whatever was weighing her down."My real name is Kiara. You won't have heard of the name because it's a name nobody remembers. A long time ago, my ancestors did some
Alexander.We were so close to capturing Derrick when I first noticed the heavy whirlwind that was heading toward the pack house. From where Kai and I were fighting, we could see the wind picking up everything and everyone in its path.The wind also scared some of the rogues that were fighting with us, as they scampered away for fear of being hit by the wind.The wind appeared to have picked up some of the rogues and Kai warriors as they kept groaning and screaming.Kai gestures to me, demanding to know what I think we should do.I needed no one to tell me who was behind the storm that was not heading toward the packhouse, as my mind reflected on what Jason had told me about Ashley's powers.I wondered what was prompting her actions now. Is she joining Jason's pack to fight against us? I pondered as I found myself a little confused.I turned to Kai and told him to try and get Derrick arrested since we had succeeded in killing almost all of his bodyguards.He nodded in agreement, after
Ashley"Ashley, Ashley"I heard Olivia call out to me. I woke up in a panic to see that I had fallen asleep on the floor."Olivia, how are you feeling?" I asked as I was excited to see that she was doing better."I'm doing great, thank you," she said, and I must admit, for a moment there, her voice sounded like music to my ears.I reached out to her to check her body and saw that her injury was almost healed up as there was just a little scratch on the surface.I couldn't tell how long I had been sleeping but was glad that we were safe."Where is the baby?" Olivia asked, as she frantically looked around the woods.Her question made me remember that Andre was with me earlier. I panicked as I quickly got up and searched around for the baby.I went searching in the nearby woods to see if he had somehow magically crawled there.But there was no sign of the baby. I was about to scream my head off when I saw the brown she-wolf carrying the baby.She looked like someone in pain, as her moveme
AlexanderHearing Jason tell me things about Ashley that I never knew about broke my heart. It made me question everything, including the way I felt towards her if indeed she was my true mate.I would never have imagined that Ashley would want to shut some aspect of her life away from me.Was I too much in a hurry to claim her as my mate, or did I mistake my lust for her as love?But, even if my human nature was wrong, can my wolf be wrong too? I remember him calling her mate on the night of the luna initiation.Did I make a mistake in marking her?I pondered because I could not just imagine why she could keep such an important aspect of her life a secret from me.She is our mate I heard my wolf say from within me.But his words were not so soothing as I could feel my heart break into a million pieces.And as if the clouds could echo my emotions, the clouds started gathering, and soon the heavens opened and there began a heavy downpour.The rain sent everyone in the field into hiding,
