Jolene and her pack sneak up on the guards at each of their posts and kill them quickly to avoid them alerting anyone. They were sneaking into the pack so Oliver would not be alerted. By the time they had reached the training grounds, most of the rogues had been killed. Oliver heard the commotion and came to check what was going on, when he saw Jolene standing alone, he laughed. He thought she was just some stupid girl who tried to be brave, he would show her the error of her ways.
He tried to attack her but she shifted to her Lycan, she was faster and stronger than him. It did not take long before she had subdued him. Her pack members had separated to deal with the rogues and rescue the prisoners. “Would you like me to show you mercy?” she asked him, “Yes, please. Who are you?” he pleaded like the coward he was.
“I am the Jolene, Ruler of the Lycans, the Lycan King. Rightful Mate of Alpha Maverick
I wake up to see Maverick looking down on me and smiling, “Did you watch me sleep all night?” I ask, “No, I woke up five minutes ago and I like looking at you sleep. You are adorable when you sleep,” he replies. He has been so attentive since we started dating, I am happy but a part of me worries that he will hurt me again.I get up from the bed and head to the bathroom, “Are you not going to join me?” I ask him over my shoulder, I hear him getting off the bed and his clothes been thrown to the floor, I chuckle and turn to look at him, he is standing right in front of me, I look up at him, he grabs my face and kisses me, if not that he was holding me up, I would already be on the floor.“As much as I do not want this to end, we need to enter the shower now” I tell him. He looks down at me, hunger in his eyes, he lifts me up before I can even register what is happening and heads to
The day after the ceremony and my proposal, Maverick’s parents came to visit with my parents. “My darling princess, how are you feeling today?” my mother asked me with a teasing smile, “I feel like I am on cloud nine and the moon goddess has wrapped me in her embrace. I am happy,” I tell her. Maverick stands by my side with a smile, “I think we should sit down and start planning your wedding,” Maverick’s mother announces, we all take a seat.“How long do you want your engagement to be, Mave when you were engaged to Cynthia, you waited a year, do you want to do the same?” His mother asks, he looks at me, “No mother, I do not think I can wait a year to make Jolene my wife, Jolene what do you think?” he asks me, “I cannot wait a year either. Can we do six months? Will that be enough time to plan the wedding?” I ask them.“That should be enough time, between your mother and I, we should be able to get it done” his mother replies. I feel Maverick leave my side and I turn to face him, he is
When I get home, the house is empty, “Jolene, I am home,” I yell, I get no response. I wonder where she has gone. I try to send a message through our mind link but I can’t reach her. I start to worry that something is wrong with her. I try Collin, “Collin, are you with Jolene, I am trying to reach her but she is blocking me. I have been home for thirty minutes now and I have not heard from her,” “Maverick, do not worry she is with Val, she is fine, I will let her know you are looking for her,” he says but I feel like he is hiding something from me. I try to keep myself busy by cleaning up the house, we do not have any servants even though Jolene is royalty, we prefer our privacy. I do the dishes and vacuum the house. Once I am done, I take a shower and go to bed. When she gets home, she will wake me up.Back at Cynthia’s house, I turn to Collin, “Collin, what is wrong?” “Maverick just told me he has been home for thirty minutes and he was worried about you. He just left here, we saw
The next morning, after we had tied up Cole and freed, we briefed the real Jake about our plan and Cole also filled him in. Now, Jake and I were standing at the pack house and I was pretending to cry on his shoulder and he was comforting me. We were waiting for Jake’s ‘cousin’ to show up and catch him. Maverick was waiting at our house. Since we were supposed to be broken up, we could not be seen together. Cole’s phone started ringing and Jake picked up, “Hello, are you here yet?” Jake asked, “I just got past the guards, I am on my way to the pack house,” the voice says. Okay he is on his way, Cole never told us his name, He said he did not even know it.After ten minutes of waiting, we saw a really handsome guy walking towards us and I guessed that was their ruler. “Jake, he is here, are you ready?” I whisper to him. “Hey Jake, I am sorry for the wait.” He says to Jake. “Hey cuz, this is Jolene, the Ruler of the Lycans. Jolene, this is my cousin, I told you he was coming, remember?”
We are finally married. It may have taken over five years give or take, but we still got to this point. The reception was amazing, everyone was mingling and having fun. Jake and Haley had some good news. It turns out they are mates, I was so happy for them. Maverick refused to leave my side all through the reception. It was actually adorable.Maverick was officially my Consort and I was his Luna. We were a team. After our wedding night we planned on moving to the palace that was built for my parents while they move into our house. It was a plan that my parents came up with, they said as the King, I was supposed to live there with my Consort.I am tired of being in these shoes, I look at Maverick and he understands that I am ready to go home. “Hello everyone, I would like to thank you for attending our wedding but your King is tired and I have to get her home. You can continue the party without us, good night.” He says to everyone, once he is done, we head out to the car. Axle is alre
Two Weeks LaterMaverick is holding my hair back as I throw up in the toilet, I have been throwing up every morning for the past week. I suspect I may be pregnant or it is a period symptom. “We need to go to the pack hospital today, I cannot keep watching you in pain,” Maverick says, “Yes, we can go as soon as we shower,” I tell him.We both take a shower, we always take a shower together, it is intimate and we like it. Once we are done, we dry ourselves up and dress up. When we are done getting ready, we head out. We do not take the car because the pack hospital is not far from the palace. I suppose we could have asked the doctor to come over but I prefer going to the hospital, I do not want the doctor to leave any other patient for me.When we arrive at the hospital, we are taken to a private room and we are told to wait that our doctor will be with us shortly. As we wait for the doctor, I turn to Maverick who is walking around the room, “What if I am actually pregnant? How would yo
Four Months LaterJolene is now five months pregnant and the pregnancy has been stressful to say the least. She has had difficulty sleeping, she always tosses and turns and I always hold her until she finally calms down, she also experiences bouts of dizziness and lower back pain. I have been giving her back massages every night to help with the pain.She had swollen feet for a while so we do not walk as much as we used to do. Although I make sure we walk at least once a week for exercise, doctor’s orders. She also has pregnancy brain. One day while we were eating, she carried her fork and started using it to comb her hair, and using her soup to wash her hands. I had to gently remind her that it was not water but soup. We have an appointment with doctor May, tomorrow to find out the sex of our baby. We have been going to prenatal classes and she has been taking medication to help her with the pregnancy. I know it is taking its toll on her, physically and mentally, but she has been so
I am currently in the hospital. I was admitted two days ago since my due date is two days from now. I miss going to bed with Maverick, I really hate being in hospitals for long. When I was younger, before I found out I was a Lycan, I used to get sick with human illnesses and was in and out of the hospital.Ever since then I have hated being in hospitals for more than two days. Maverick comes to see me every day. Actually, it is more like he does not leave my side until it is for me to go to bed. I am sure he misses me in his bed also. Judging from the bags beneath his eyes, he has not been sleeping well either.I am currently laying on the bed with one of the books that Maverick brought for me to keep my mind occupied while I was here so that boredom would not drive me crazy. Maverick is asleep in the chair by my bed. I look up from my book and study his face as he sleeps, all of a sudden, I feel a cramp in my stomach.&
I was happy for this time I had, I used it to have another meeting with my family members, the idea was to find a solution to the vampires problem, I met and urge with those who I could to assist while sending a message to others to help before there is a shortage. The feed back was more than pleasant, we had more and more volunteers and all their blood work came out clean, before long the vampires had their kingdom in check, everyone who was poisoned with the bad batch were in no time cleared, Alaric on the other hand barely called and seemed to be very busy, I knew he was recovering and possibly scheming, but I was happy provided it was all rhetorical and whatever plan he might make possible was all faulted by us. Alaric came back after three days visiting his “mother”He drove into the compound and got out of his vehicle I rushed to him and hugged him tightly “Babeeeee! I have so missed you sooo much” I said as I pecked him He smiled sweetly at me“So how is your mum now?” I a
I woke up to the sound of Alaric voice, he was singing out loud and cheerfully as if he had won the lottery, I knew he believed he was winning in this silent battle he was having with me and my family but I knew he was in for a rude awakening I also perceived the nice aroma of breakfast, what ever he was cooking was definitely going to be very delicious He was cooking for me again I noticedHe really can be romantic but I smiled as I knew it was all a ruse, this was all a front to deceive and manipulate me but I was willing to allow him take advantage of me if this is his method of doing it. Alaric feels he is playing me whist it is the other way around, I want him as distracted as possible so he would not know how time flies. I could already smell from my room that he was cooking and that it was going to be delicious. There was a time I was worried about his food, worried that he might poison me or try to control meI was not really concerned about the control or him taking my
I knew past day I have given all my time to Blake because of how much I missed him, i know before Alaric comes for me I need to have a private meeting with all my family members, I knew this could possibly be our last moment together before the inevitable happens so I need to be sure everyone was on the same page. I made a mental connection to everyone I could, that we should meet in the dining room alone to go over our plan. I remove what I wore to bed and walk to the bathroom. I stand at the sink and brush my teeth. When I am done, I step into the shower and turn on the tap. I wash my hair and when I am done with washing my hair, I start washing my body. I finish with my shower and dry my body with my towel. When I finish, I wrap the towel around my hair so it can dry. I leave the bathroom and walk to the vanity. When I get there, I plug in my hair dryer and start blow drying my hair. Once I am done with drying my hair, I put on hairspray and I style my hair. I brush my hair until
As we stood there, disoriented and shaken, a distant sound caught our attention. The rumble of an approaching vehicle grew louder, filling us with a glimmer of hope.Within moments, headlights illuminated the darkened road, revealing the figure of a passerby. A kind stranger had stumbled upon our wreckage, offering a helping hand in our time of need.As the headlights grew brighter, casting a glow upon the wreckage, a wave of relief washed over us. The stranger approached with cautious steps; his concern evident in his eyes. It was Blake."Blake?" I murmured in disbelief, my voice barely above a whisper. I couldn't believe the twist of fate that had brought him to our side in this moment of desperation.He nodded, a mixture of surprise and concern crossing his face. "Luna, Alaric, what happened? Are you both alright?"Alaric, still recovering from the impact, managed a weak nod. "We were in an accident. The car crashed, and we need help."Blake immediately sprang into action, his quic
So, I had stayed inside, curled up in my blankets, trying desperately to distract myself with a book. However, it proved to be useless, and I ended up spending most of the afternoon watching TV in silence, occasionally sipping an occasional cup of coffee when I was bored.It had started raining halfway through my fourth cup of coffee, and the raindrops were falling onto the windowsill as I sat huddled underneath my covers, my knees pulled up to my chest and my arms wrapped tightly around my legs. A few minutes later, the front door swung open, and a mixture of anticipation and apprehension filled the air. My heart skipped a beat as I sat up, hoping it was him, hoping for a chance to reconnect. But as I heard the loud clattering noise, my hope turned to confusion, and I couldn't help but follow the sound."Dad!"The word escaped my lips before I could stop it, a combination of surprise and uncertainty. There he was, my father, walking further into the house, his presence stirring up a
They sat there for a moment. The only sounds in the room were their quiet breaths. Their footsteps echoing softly throughout the empty restroom. The ticking of the grandfather clock somewhere far away in the distance. They listened to its rhythm until Luna pulled back, resting her head on his shoulder again. Alaric looked down, catching sight of the bracelet she wore around her wrist. A simple silver band with tiny white flowers embroidered onto it. It reminded him of the sunflower bracelet his grandmother had given him when he was younger. He smiled faintly at the memory, running his thumb across the band. "It's funny. Before Mom died, she bought me this bracelet, too," Alaric murmured, his fingers tracing the delicate patterns on the bracelet lightly. "The sunflower represents hope…" he mumbled. Luna lifted her head, her eyebrows knitted together as she looked at him in confusion."Hope?" she questioned. Alaric shook his head slightly, smiling weakly. "Yeah." He paused, trying to f
She'd grown up without parents or a loving family, and though she'd managed to make some friends here in The City, she was far too lonely for her own good. He had never known any other woman who felt the way he did when he first laid eyes on her, and if this was their only chance at happiness together, then Alaric would not pass it by without making it count. He knew she liked men - he'd caught her eyeing up a few of them on occasion - and he hoped that once they got past the awkward stage of 'letting their feelings show', this could be a relationship where he wouldn't have to worry about disappointing her. There were so many things about Luna that made Alaric's chest feel tight and warm inside. Her smile, the sound of her voice, even the way she smelled. It all left him feeling so… so… "And besides," said Luna, smiling back at him with an impish look in her eyes. "Who wants a boyfriend who makes their job a nightmare?"They both chuckled, but neither could resist looking down at th
I couldn't contain my excitement as I reunited with my family, feeling the warmth and love radiating in the air. We gathered in the cozy living room, enveloped in laughter and joy. Embracing my parents tightly, I soaked in the comforting familiarity of their presence. It had been far too long since we were all together.Seated on plush sofas, we began sharing stories, eagerly catching up on the events that had unfolded during our time apart. My father animatedly recounted his latest adventures in his workshop, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm."You should have seen the intricate clock I crafted," he said, a gleam of pride in his voice. "Every cog and gear working in perfect harmony. It's a testament to the beauty of precision."My mother chimed in; her voice filled with admiration. "And your garden, dear. It has flourished under your loving care. The roses have bloomed like never before."As the conversation continued, I listened intently, cherishing every word as it painted a vivid
I woke up the next morning to my alarm screaming at me. It was so loud that I thought my eardrums were going to explode at the very next second, grumbling against my pillow.I contemplated on ignoring it or just going back to sleep after attending to it I finally chose an option that I did not thought of before I checked the time and it was six o’clock. A little bit of relief came to a sigh on my lips. I thought that I had overslept for a moment considering all the time I had procrastinated before coming to check the clock and so I stretched my hand and I turned off the alarm and sat up from bed. It was so early and my stomach was already growling, I couldn't imagine how hungry I was and so I needed to get ready for breakfast…I was craving something easy like cereal because I was already starving a lot.&nb
