'Who carried me to my room,' I inquired and she gave me a confused look for a second."Huh! You were in your room all night, Lourve.' She pointed out and I shook my head and persisted. "I came outside, all dressed up in a red gown and then, I met Ryan, then met this stranger…""You met Ryan,' she gasped, shifted the tray of food aside and got closer to me, holding both of my hands, "Listen, Lourve. I know about your feelings all along, that you've been in love with Ryan since you were a child, but you couldn't tell him about your feelings and I get that a lot. I understand you, it's not going to be easy to forget about him, but you have to do it, for your well-being. I love you as my sister, but I wouldn't like anyone treating you the way they did on that day, trust me. Forget about Ryan and move on, sis. Besides, he's not your mate and that's a good thing too, but you have to be careful." She stared at me lovingly and smiled, which made me chuckle."I thought you hated the word "Fate
I felt my knees go weak at that moment, and trembled at the sight of him, going all lovey-dovey with my step sister, Rihanna. The sister I adored so much with all my heart, that I will do anything for her, even to the extent of giving her my life no matter the circumstances, that's how much I love her, she had invariably been with me through thick and thin, when everyone renounced me, she was always there for me. When everyone turned their backs on me because I was an illegitimate child, she faced me and took my hand instead, ignoring people's gossip and rumors about me. She showed me that no matter what life throws at me, I should perpetually stand up for myself. She was eternally there for me when no one else was, she was my everything in this world, including my best friend and that jerk, Ryan. Tears streamed down my face, staring at the lovely couple cutting the engagement cake, Rihanna putting a ring on my mate's finger and my mate also did the same thing too, to her and I was
His gaze not leaving mine, I squeezed my fingers, crossed some of them keeping my posture. Was that the first word, he was supposed to be saying to me, I almost chuckled. "Yeah, I am and you must be my sister's fiance, am I right?' I inquired, telling almost the same words was kind of hilarious. "Yeah,' he nodded. "I am her fiance, we are getting married soon." He answered back. "That's…That's great news, I can see my sister loves you, for her to choose you as her husband,' I forced a smile. With every word he was spilling out of his mouth tearing me to pieces, my eyes were beaming just at those words he said to me. I couldn't even look him in the eye, to hide my face I had to look down at my blanket, it was embarrassing. I don't have to cry in front of him, he was my Mate but he wasn't mine but someone else and worse, it had to be my sister he was getting married to, why wasn't it someone else instead. Why was life so cruel? "She does love me,' he agreed. "I can see it from her e
"You are not any of those things, my dear,' she said softly. "I want to stop you, Lourve, but you are not letting me do that, you are against it, you don't want me to halt you." "I want to prove myself to the clan,'' I said. My voice began shaking and I could feel my eyes burning so much that a drop of tear fell from my face to the table. "Oh, Louvre,' Rihanna said, getting up from her seat, she came towards me and gave me a warm hug. "Oh, dear. I wish I could stop all this from happening, but you insist on letting you fight, I can't…" I shook my head. "Let me do this, sis." I wiped my eyes with the edge of my clothes and smiled at her. "I'm fucking nervous but I will get through this, trust me." Rihanna kissed my forehead and nodded at my decision. I felt my heart shattering into pieces at her comfort towards me. How will I tell her that I wasn't crying because I wanted to fight with Aries? It was part of it but not fully the reason but I was mainly mad at myself because my mate
It's been fucking an hour since Ryan told me about the visitors and Aries hasn't blinked ever since. I also told Rihanna that the Lycan King Cameron would be here tomorrow as early as possible for the combat battle and that she was expected to act as a host, she dropped the napkins from her hands, her face ghost white, and started squealing, 'oh my goodness' over and over. It took about thirty minutes to snap her out of it and I've been gently guiding her through all the preparations.The thing about Rihanna is, that although she wants help, she doesn't always want to know that you are helping. She wants to be a good Luna and have the admiration of the pack, but she doesn't have a clue on how to host, let alone a Lycan king. I mean, hell, I don't even know how to host a Lycan king.But I have been making little suggestionsquietly to Rihanna, based on what I've learned from my best friend, and she has been repeating them and learning them since she was the first daughter of the pack.
I was exhausted as I panted. "I want you, Aztec,' I softly muttered and tightly hugged my pillow to my chest, dreaming of his face all night long as I fell asleep. I woke up, feeling chilled items piercing through my skin as I jerked up from my sleep, rubbing my eyes and seeing Aries laughing. "Rise and shine, sleepy head.' She said, I sighed. "What was that for, are you crazy,' I snapped. "Are you nuts?" "Jeez, waking up in the daylight and throwing questions at me." "What are you doing in my room, are you stupid." I was greatly annoyed at how she interrupted my sleep, how dare she? "You are the stupid one here, everyone is beginning to gather for the combat to watch us fight and kill each other, while you are here sleeping with your naked smelling butt.' She chuckled. "Kill each other?' I frowned. Oh, right, the battle. "Yes, are you scared in your wits or were you dreaming of me struggling and snapping your neck into two." She tackled. "That will be so hilarious, trust me."
I threw my clothes on the floor, forcefully with anger. "I could have declined the battle, is that what you are saying to me, I can't believe you are saying these words to me. You were not around, you were on a vacation trip with your parents Woah, and laughing all over the place. While I was hit by a car which landed me in the hospital, guess what, my parents turned against me, calling me a weakling and Aries was making fun of me.' "You are talking like a child, for crying out loud." Elina put in. "I'm talking like a child huh! Do you know what I went through, they keep humiliating me and downgrading me in front of everyone, that I'm a pathetic loser,' I could feel my eyes welling up, it hurts. "They keep calling me an illegitimate child, a useless and a worthless Omega, and you said I could have rejected the combat after all that insult. How can I ever prove to this person that I'm not who they think they are…" "That's why you wanted to prove it to them, but it was wrong. You sho
"Are you insulting me?' My father roared. "I'm not insulting you, I'm just stating the fact, the fact that needs to be said between you and mom, this isn't our matter that needs to be solved in any other way, this needs to be between you guys and not us." "Shut your insolence,' my stepmother banged the table and stood up from her seat. 'Don't open your mouth and spill rubbish if you don't know anything about this matter, you shut up.' She yelled. "I don't know anything, am I such a dumb bimbo wolf that doesn't know anything, I'm not a kid and I've been hearing about this for ages, let this stop right now, I've had enough of it, come on, all this started when she wasn't even born yet.' She sarcastically uttered. "If you talk to me in such a manner again, I will give you a dirty slap across your face, if you don't behave yourself, who do you think you are to talk to me in such a manner, do you think I care about such people, you think I will be with you and this family if it weren't
"No matter how hard you try, you can't seem to find the right words when you want to reject him, am I right?' She was correct. I struggled with the words to come out of my mouth, whenever I wanted to reject him, it wasn't working. No matter how hard I try, it keeps getting difficult to do it. I once wanted to consult Kjiani and ask him, explaining to him what was wrong with me, but anytime I try to figure it out, I barely recall what I was about to say. "You must have found out about it too, Aztec, isn't it?" Aztec sighed and shifted his attention off us. He knew. So, that was why he kept it a secret and kept pursuing me, and didn't mind the fact that he was having an affair with me. "You knew about this.' Rihanna yelled at Aztec, who took a seat and sat down on it without a word. "I trusted your husband or should I say, my mate. I agreed to it and along the way, I never knew I became a side piece, a side chick,' she laughed. "Why are you laughing, you whore?" Alice shouted
"Hello, my child." Her eyes were teary as she drew closer to me. "I thought you were…" My father mumbled. "You wench." "I wouldn't let you lay a finger on my child." She raised her hand in the air, stopping my father. Who was she? My mother? Impossible? "Good to see, you got the nerve to come back here after giving you a warning." He laughed. "Were you not afraid of the consequences of approaching a clan that got you banished?" "No,' she smiled. "I was scared I would not be here, bastard.' "You are a bitch, I regret the day I knew you and wish you were not part of my life, because since the day you and your daughter came into my life, it has become a mess. I wish she was never born.' "Don't, lay your finger on my daughter." She strictly warned. "I'm here and I will kill you before anything happens.' I…I was her daughter. She was a lady of beauty, her black sexy dress screamed revenge, her eyes, her expression, her skin, her posture, and her scent, were just like me, the on
"Go to hell and die.' She spat in contempt. She has changed but will always be my enemy. I made a mistake, I shouldn't have come here. I should be staying at home, taking care of my kids, putting them to bed after a stressful day, here I am ready to kill Rihanna and seeing the both of them again weakened me and memories of ten years ago weighed me down. I felt powerless against them, that's why I said, I shouldn't have come here, probably if I had stayed home, this wouldn't be going on. I got to accept it, I slept with him, so, what happened. Feeling guilty isn't going to solve anything I have suffered enough for years, Aztec is my mate, that's why I slept with him, it wasn't just sex, I fell in love with him, I fell in love with the father of my children, instead he teamed up with Rihanna and banished me. Laying false accusations on me, what else do they want from me? I'm just tired. "What were you thinking, coming back to this pack?" My fath
While I was at the dining table, enjoying a peaceful moment and wondering why Kjiani dragged out that fellow, was there something he wasn't telling me and he was hiding it from me. That's when I got a call and the person told me how Rihanna planned to kill them and advised me to be over the top about my kids. I couldn't say a word, since I knew where she was, it was time to end this, after all coming here after two hours wasn't for nothing. "Lourve." That voice sounded familiar, his scent too. Ryan. Why was he here? "My name is not Lourve but Eva.' I corrected and smirked. "Step aside, Ryan," I ordered. Rihanna got up from the ground, laughing. "You finally came to me after running for so many years, you came back to the pack. How shameless!" "I'm not back to this pack, I came to kill you, let's fight it to the death, isn't that what you wanted all along,' I walked closer. "To take my life." My stare fell on the crowd who stood up and watched us, I guess we will be fucking
"I love her.' He confessed. "I love her.' He repeated. "She's a child,'' I sneered. "How could you be in love with a child." "That's my problem, not yours, I choose who I love." "Shut up! Shut your mouth.' I barely yelled. "I just did." He rudely stated. "She's only ten, not eighteen, you are not supposed to be dating her. I saw the bullshit you did back there, how could you date someone's child that's not even up to eighteen and you kissed her right in front of me.' "That's because I got nothing to hide.' He shrugged his shoulders. "And you had to show that in front of me, the kids, are you mad? Do you think this is not a big deal to you, that girl is still innocent, naive, I don't want you teaching her stuff, she isn't supposed to know at this age. Don't ruin her life.' "I'm fifteen, kids date whoever they want to go out with nowadays, you can't stop me. Don't say, I'm ruining her life because I just kissed her.' He argued. "That wasn't "Just" a kiss, Royce. What I saw bac
I sniffed, making sure there were no traps or anything like that. At least, we were safe anyway. I led them out of the basement, directly into my car and shut the door after them. I began driving, there was silence and I noticed Royce's arms around Stormi, patting her back. These kids. As soon as we get home, I'm going to have a talk with him. A proper one. We got home and Eva was the happiest person ever, including Jane as they both hugged them. "Are you okay,' she hugged all of them once more and kissed them on their forehead. "They are always okay, don't ruin the mood.' Jane added. "Yes, Mom, we are alright." Emily burst into tears. Huh, this is quite hilarious. Eva hugged her and kissed her forehead once more. "Hey, don't cry now, you are safe." "I was so scared, I thought I would never see you again, they were so scary, Mom.' She mumbled, cleaning off her tears. "I'm sorry, Mama, couldn't protect you, please forgive me,' Eva hugged her once more. Stormi and Josh we
I drove along the road, after getting inside my car with Royce, clutching the steering and I hope I set my eyes on the bastard that took my kids away from us. "Are you sure you know the place?' I had to ask, he seemed pretty optimistic for my liking, why should he know this place when he hasn't even set his eyes on them before. I mean, he doesn't know the triplets so why on earth would he know where they are in the first place? He hasn't seen them before, so it's surprising that he knows where they are kidnapped. "Have I ever disappointed you before?' He questioned without taking his eyes off the window. "I smelled her on you, heard about how they were kidnapped from you and my grandparents and I knew just the right person who would do such a thing without being told to do it, just to have fun.' "Just to have fun?' I frowned. "He does that a lot but not without a reason, he must have been paid to abduct them and hide them in his custody.' "I don't understand,' I sighed. 'Why will
"The deed has already been done, no need to change it, that is, if it's even possible to change.' "You know, you are really stupid and it's not funny,' I solemnly stated. "I don't want to see you in this clan again and whoever opens the gate for you will have to face me. If you want to see me, give me a call or meet me in the office, instead of coming here, I don't want anyone seeing you." "Are you ashamed of your parents scolding you?" She mocked. "No, I'm not a kid to be scared of such stupid things, but rather I am humiliated by you, so get out and don't show yourself here again or else, I wouldn't think of the things we've been through, wouldn't hesitate to kick you out myself. Trust me on that.' I remarked. "You are unbelievable." "I'm worse than you think, Scarlet. GET OUT." I turned away from her when I realized Royce was standing behind me. "I will be leaving the both of you and I hope you have a long nice chat. I need to use the salon
"Shut up,' she yelled. My mother was damn hell as pissed. "Don't be like this in front of your grandson, he came to see you." She mocked, laughing as she flicked her hair sideways once more. "He came to see me?" She asked. "If I were your son, I would be so ashamed of you to be my mother, because you are nothing but a…" "A whore,' she finished. "Your son's whore, I get it and this is not the first time somebody is saying that to me. You are his grandmother and in front of him, you are insulting his mother." She shrugged her shoulders, acting like nothing was bothering her as she smiled. "Well, no need to be angry at your words, I'm used to it by now, oh, long has it been, months, years, whatever.' "Why did you come here?' "What other reason will make me come here, you make it sound as if I'm not supposed to be here and well, I don't blame you for that." "Stop beating about the bush and answer my questions.' "Mom, calm down.' "Stay out of this,' she scolded me. I ruffled th
