Four years ago, following a betrayal from her half-sister and boyfriend, Diane McKenzie was involved in a ghastly accident that cost the life of her unborn baby. Now, Diane is determined to make a name for herself by working hard and reaching the highest status quo in society so she could get revenge on the people who betrayed her so badly. She gets a job in the popular Redskins Group of Company as a storekeeper and everything seems to be going well until she is locked in the warehouse and finds a little boy of three, who is inexplicably attached to her. The boy with his bright green eyes reminds her so much of what her son would have been if he didn't die at such an unexpected moment. Diane is thrown into a dilemma when her boss —Lucius Blackwood, who turns out to be the little boy's father offers her a proposal she finds impossible to refuse... Secrets are uncovered and identities unfold but Diane is completely oblivious to Lucius' true identity and the boy's abilities…

"Please hold on, the antenatal results will take a few moments," the kind doctor said to me as they moved to the door.My hands instinctively went to my stomach. I smiled as I watched with heavy eyes as the man disappeared behind the door.I was still in college but the thought of having a child with my best friend was thrilling. We were going to bring up the child with so much love, everyone would admire us.My eyes closed as sleep finally took over me.The images of that night flashed back into my head and even in my sleep my stomach flipped over as desire washed over me.The way Liam had made me feel, made my toes curl.My core tightened as his hard thrusts went deep inside my wet folds, making me shiver with need. It was my first time, yet the alcohol in my system that night made me feel numb with pleasure."Damn, you are so tight..." he moaned into my ear, making my already hardened nipples even harder.His dazed eyes moved over to them and his fingers brushed lightly against them making my walls clench even tighter around his length.It felt so good that I didn't regret any of it.My voice had gone dry as I held on to his shoulders as he kept pouring out his love into me."Miss McKenzie..." The doctor's voice pierced into my subconscious and I snapped awake."Huh?" I mumbled as I wiped a hand over my face.He smiled down at me and handed me an envelope. "Your baby is fine but you will need to avoid strenuous activities for this trimester to avoid an early birth," he said.I nodded and took the envelope from him. "Thank you, doctor.""You are welcome."As he turned back around, I got down from the bed and decided to call Liam and tell him about our baby's health. He should have come to pick me up but he said he had an important project to do.I pulled out my phone from my purse and dialed his line. It rang for a couple of seconds before he picked up."Hey, Liam I—" My voice died down in my throat as the sound in his background seeped through my ears."Ooh... Monique... Fuck!"A ringing developed in my ears as I couldn't believe what I was hearing."Hmmm... Yes! Faster! Yes..."This couldn't be true. I must have been dreaming..."I should... Oh fuck... I should go pick up Diane..." Liam was saying in between moans and I felt my heart pause shakily."You don't need to pick up that whore! Ohh... She should call the stranger who owns that bastard in her stomach!" Monique replied.I could take whatever insult they threw at me but when they attacked my baby I couldn't take it anymore."My child is not a bastard!" I roared as the tears started streaming down my eyes.Their moaning stopped as my scream resonated with them on the other end of the phone and my shaky heart trembled even further."Liam if you are not man enough to accept it... Then please do not call my baby a bastard because he is your child! He has a father!" I cried louder as I clutched the edge of the bed."Tsk tsk... You don't understand do you?" Monique breathed and I felt like the air was being squeezed out of me. "I made a mistake but at the time I thought it was just fun..."My breath started coming in gasps as her words rolled over my head. "What do you mean Monique? What are you saying?""Look, Diane, you need to let it go. I paid those guys to rape you... I am sorry, okay but it wasn't my Liam who slept with you that night..." Monique said and I felt my heart shatter."No... You are just saying that to hurt me..." I squeaked, shaking my head from side to side. Refusing to believe her."Liam is the father of my child... He confirmed it..." I whispered more for my own sanity than theirs."Your sister found you in that room, Diane. You were raped by some fools and the only reason why I claimed that bastard in your stomach to be mine was because I wanted to protect her. But I don't think I can anymore..."The phone dropped from my hands as my body started trembling with pain."My baby was..." I couldn't even say a word.All these months, I thought it was Liam who had been with me that night after Monique had given me that drink... I thought he was the father of my baby...My phone rang from the side of the bed where it fell and I quickly picked up thinking it was Liam calling to tell me what I just heard from them was a prank."Hello, Liam!" I rushed as my fingers clutched the phone as if my life depended on it."Diane, this is your mother, Monique just called and explained everything to me..." She said and rivers of tears resumed cascading down my face.It wasn't a prank..."Look, dear, you know how your sister plays a lot, it was just a mistake and it isn't even a big deal. Let her just be with Liam and you can take care of your baby..."Her words were like a power pack punch launched into my heart."...maybe one day, you may find its father but for now, you don't have to cling to Liam and let the young man live his life..."How could my biological mother say this to me? I know they never loved or cared for me but how can they support Monique even in a situation like this?"Hello, Diane. Are you there? Can you hear me?" She called and I took the phone away from my ears.Without saying a word to her, I ended the call and started heading out of the hospital. I had to see Liam with my eyes.They had to repeat everything they said to my face.My eyes were blurry from all the tears that drained out of me. My heart was bleeding from so much pain it became difficult to breathe but I kept walking.They had to explain it to me. Why did they do this to me?All I have ever done was love them and this was how they paid me back—The blaring sound of the horn clicked in my ears a second too late. As I turned to the blinding light, I felt my body pommel into the air and like the world was slowed down, my body flipped lifelessly in the air before landing with a heavy crash against the car's windscreen."Somebody call 911!" I heard someone scream before everything turned dark.Diane’s POVI felt something within me shift and before I could stop myself, I threw myself against Scarred-face, screaming my lungs out.“Let my baby go!” I screamed.In my mind, I was so sure that I would manage to create enough distractions to take Owen from them and run as far as I could, but all those moves were only in my head. I didn’t even get far before Liam grabbed me roughly by the arm.“Where do you think you are going? The party is just starting…” he growled and threw me hard towards the bed. My head hit the bedframe and I felt my consciousness dwindle before my eyes.I blinked, panicking even stronger. If anything happened to me now, I wouldn’t be able to protect Owen anymore. I would fail once again in protecting my baby.“Mummy!” Owen screamed and I tried to raise myself from the ground despite the dizziness in my head.I refused to give up. My body was groaning in defeat, but I would rather die. Adrenaline pumped through my bloodstreams, and I dragged myself back to m
Diane’s POVAs soon as Liam stepped out of the room, I saw it as my opportunity to escape from his room. I returned my shirt to their position and moved out at once. I still remembered the route we had taken while coming, so I traced it back to my room.I was about to take the final bend when I heard a deafening growl from a room on my right. The blood within my body froze and panic started drumming through my skin.They said anyone who knew could be rescued, so I let my curiosity lead me to the side of the wall where I could get a good angle to see what was happening in that room.“No!” the roar echoed out of the room once again. “Keith can’t die like that!” he screamed again, and I watched as Liam held his head and dropped to the ground with tears in his eyes.“My lord, I saw the body with my two eyes. Lucius had made sure there would be no regeneration for him. He is dead-” a man covered in a hood was saying.I covered my mouth as the realization of what this meant flooded through
Lucius’s POV“Are you sure we are heading in the right direction?” I asked Monique for the third time since we have been on the road. I noticed that we had been going around the same places for close to two hours now and she just sat there with a smug look on her face, watching me as I drove as if I was a new show in a cinema.“Monique? Didn’t you hear me?” I asked, throwing a glance in her direction. She was now sitting with her legs spread apart and the skirt barely visible anymore.“Hmmm, yeah… yes, of course… just keep going…” she said, waving her hand to the screen while her eyes remained on me.My wolf twisted with disgust at her position. If she couldn’t sit properly, she shouldn’t have worn such an absurd outfit. I wanted to reprimand her to adjust herself, but I decided to ignore it. She was not my responsibility.“I don’t know if you have noticed but we have been going round the same place for hours now. Can you look at the road and tell me where we are supposed to go?” I a
Diane’s POVI planned on convincing Louis to help us escape but after hearing that Liam and Keith had his family, I couldn’t bring myself to say anymore. I would do anything to save my family, so I understood exactly where he stood in all of these.In the next couple of hours, I tried to remain positive as I studied every inch of the room, we were kept in, hoping that a miraculous door would appear from nowhere and I could step out of it.I even took my time to think about my decisions, wondering if things could have been different if I had acted in another way. I was stuck on a roller coaster of emotions till sleep managed to steal me.But even the sleep didn’t give me the rest of mind I needed. I kept seeing horrible endings to our situation that soon turned into a nightmare. The worst of them was when I saw Liam kill Owen. I was going to die first before I let anything happen to Owen.By the time my eyes opened, they went straight to Owen and I only relaxed after I saw that he was
Lucius’s POVIt was already in the early hours of the morning when I got to Macy’s house. As usual, as soon as I parked the vehicle in their driveway, I noticed the move of the curtain and I was suddenly reminded of Fred’s death.At some point after all of this was over, I would have to inform her of what had happened to her brave husband.My heart was heavy with sadness, but I swallowed it back. If I slacked now, her husband wouldn’t be the only bad news I would be giving her.I got out of the vehicle and this time Lucas stepped down with me. Together we went to her front door and just a few feet before we got to it, the door opened, and it wasn’t who I was expecting.“Where is Diane?” Sophie’s firm voice rang out around the area like she had a microphone buried in her throat.“Something came up and she… can I come in, there is a lot I have to explain to you,” I said. My voice was heavy with emotions, and I hoped she didn’t aggravate things.She studied me for a second before her sha
Lucius’s POVWith Keith dead, I left the captain of my soldiers and Kasper in charge, and I took one of the cars back to the human city to get the answers I needed.There was still a lot to be done, but I knew that I could trust my men to do a very good job of clearing everything and sorting what needed to be sorted.As I drove, my eyes were fixed on the road, but my heart ached for Diane. She was going to be broken when she found out about her grandfather but more than that, I needed to get her before Liam decided to do something crazy.Each moment I spent in that vehicle increased the number of questions rolling through my head and by the time I got to Bucks quarters, I practically jumped out of the moving vehicle.Lucas who had already been notified was standing at the entrance waiting for me and the moment he saw me, he ran towards me and hugged me. A rare moment where we shared our bond as brothers and as much as I wanted to just push him away and proceed inside, I could understa
Lucius’s POVThe sound of clashing bodies and screams filled the area in seconds. Just like I had thought, this was more intense than what we had done at Keith’s pack. The ninja wolves were far more trained than the guards’ Keith’s pack.My men were starting to struggle. Each time one of theirs fell, two of mine fell. If things continued at this pace, we were going to lose.I tore through the bodies of soldiers and tried to make my way into the castle where I knew that Keith would be waiting. He had planned this very well; he knew that it was going to take a lot more to bring him down with the ninja wolves on his side, but I refused to give up.I tapped into my alpha abilities and skillfully cut through them, but they were like ants. If two fell another four appeared and I knew that I had to strategize again if I was going to beat them, or they would change the narrative of the fields. We had come to capture their ruler but if we weren’t careful, they were going to end up capturing me
Lucius’s POVI marched toward the tent where Fred was being kept with a boiling heart filled with rage.I felt so stupid. The signs had always been there from the very beginning, and I failed to recognize them or maybe I was just too blinded to see them.From the very first day I met him, I recognized the strange scent of him. When he gave me that cock and bull story about his pack, I knew there was something about it that didn’t entirely add up, but I chose to believe it.And then it didn’t stop there, when the council had arrested him suspecting him to be Patrick, I had the feeling that they were on to something. My council might have been cowards, but they were not entirely stupid. Something must have led them to Fred’s doorstep, and I had closed my eyes to that possibility.Fast forward to the day I went to tell him about his freedom, he had been on the phone speaking about something strange. Yet again, I let it slide. He even had the guts to call me and give me intel like he was
Diane’s POV“You have lost your mind, Liam!” I hissed shaking my head in disgust and disbelief. If he really thought that after everything, he did to me I would belittle myself to the point of sleeping with him then he must have truly lost his mind.He threw his head back and let out an irritating laughter before stopping to look deeply into my eyes. “Do not worry. We have all the time in the world. Lucius is Keith’s reward, while you are mine. No one is going to stop me,” he said and got on his feet.I felt the blood in my body scatter and my heart started beating at a dangerously fast pace, but I kept my cool. Owen was also staring with a glint of fear in his eyes, and I held him tight. I was ready to protect him with my entire life.“Louis please, take them inside. Let her freshen up,” he said to the traitor who had sold me out and then his evil eyes turned to me, “When I need her, I will call for her. I hope you are smart enough to take this moment to relax that beautiful body of
