CHRIS

Over the past few days, I found myself clinging to her. I couldn't wait for the next time to visit her again, all I could think of was her. I was no longer concerned about her being a rogue, all I wanted was her by my side as my mate. I bottled up my emotions whenever I was around her, that was the only way to not push her away from me but deep inside me, I wanted to tell her how I felt, how I wanted her close to me.

As usual, I tried to sneak out of the pack when I was caught by my mother. She walked up to me with a frown on her face

“Where is the alpha of this pack sneaking out at this time? she said.

"Sneaking out," I scoffed. "Come off it, mother, I'm only taking a walk, I'll be back soon."

"I've been observing you for days now, is there something going on that I need to know, son?" she asked.

I huffed a sigh and wrapped my arms around her. "Nothing is going on mother, I am only going out into the woods for a walk. I have a lot to think of lately. I haven't found my ma

    CHRIS I stood there as I watched her leave, I didn’t know if going after her was a good idea so I stayed back. I blamed myself for not controlling my emotions around her. Now I wondered if I was ever going to see her again.I stayed a while longer hoping that she might return but she didn’t and going to the rogue's pack wasn’t the best idea so I decided to return home. As I made my way down to the park, I felt I was being followed. but whenever I turned to see who it was, I found no one. The scent of this person was so familiar, I could tell who it was even in my sleep. “Kayla, I know it’s you. You can come out now,” I said.She creeped out of the woods with a smug on her face. “How did you know it was me? Here I was thinking I was doing a good job by watching you,” she chuckled.“What are you doing here? Do you know how dangerous it is to be out here alone?” I frowned. “I should say the same about you, what were you doing out here alone?” she asked, staring at me with those curio

    LUCYI didn't know why I ran away from him, I wanted it to continue but it felt like I was betraying my father and breaking the promise of having my revenge on Chris' family. As much as I hated to admit it, I was beginning to develop strong feelings for him, feelings I never expected myself to feel especially for someone like him, someone I've always hated so much.My eyes were teary as I buried my head in my bed sobbing and wishing that it would all be a dream."It's unusual to see you here by this time, are you alright, darling?" my mother asked as she sat on my bed. I quickly wiped the tears off my face but she was quick to notice."Why are you crying? Did anything happen to you?" she asked again, concern written all over her face."I'm not crying, mother. Something flew into my eyes, that's all," I lied. I readjusted myself so she wouldn't see how much I'd cried."Do I look like a child to you, Lucy? You can always talk to me, I'm your mother and I'll do anything to see a smile o

    LUCY“Lure the Alpha to the pack and I’ll take it from there,” Cade’s words kept lingering in my head as I paced around the woods seeking a solution.Chris and I hadn’t been on the best of terms but he was my mate and I had to admit, I was drawn to him already. Whatever he was using to capture my attention was working very well.There has to be another way, I thought. I also had to warn him of the dangers ahead and for him to stop visiting until I found a way out of this. There was no means of communicating with him and going to the pack to see him was suicidal, I had only been lucky the last time.I was in this mess because the moon goddess had chosen my ene,y and the enemy of the rogues as my mate, one that had never happened before. I wondered how everyone would feel when they learned I was mated t the Alpha. They would hate me for sure and would put me and my mum in harm's way.“There you are,” Nathan said from behind bringing me back from my oblivion. “I’ve been looking everywhe

    LUCYDays passed by and I still hadn’t thought of what to do. Maverick hovered around, repeating the exact words he had said before about history repeating itself. No matter how I tried to make him spill the truth, he wouldn’t succumb. All he kept saying was time would reveal itself. When was time going to reveal itself? When Chris dies or what?There was no way I would stand and watch anyone hurt my mate, not even Cade. I chose to see him in his pack, though it was risky. I had done it before so I could do it again.That evening, I sneaked out of the pack to avoid the prying eyes of Cade and his men, whom I knew had been keeping close tabs on everything I’d been doing. Another person I tried to avoid was Maverick, who continuously gave me the creeps anytime we met. He was gradually becoming a psychopath, and everyone could attest to it. As I journeyed to the pack, I noticed some unusual movement around me. The crunchy sounds from the leaves gave it away. I knew immediately that I wa

    CHRIS "Chris..."I heard the whispers of Lucy's voice as she called from a distance. Lucy had chased after one of them that had tried to escape. I searched for her but I couldn't find her, all I could hear was her voice in the woods. Not like she was shouting out my name, I could hear her voice in my head. She was hurt and needed me."Chris, run away," her voice said. "it's the only way to keep you safe," it kept saying.There was no way I would leave her in the woods alone with that dreadful man, it was my duty to protect her even though she didn't want it.I continued my search for her and immediately picked a familiar scent nearby. It was her scent, Lucy's scent. As I got closer, I felt my body tremble. My heart squeezed up in fright.I drew even closer and soon saw her lying on the floor, looking lifeless and covered in her blood. My face turned red as I glared at the man who had done this to my Lucy. He grinned as he held his hand to his face covering the cut Lucy had given h

    LUCY "You traitor!" Those words jolted me back to life.I felt a sharp pain on my side as I lifted myself from the bed, the environment was unfamiliar to me. The last thing I remembered was passing out in the woods after I was injured by Cade's men."Shit!!” I exclaimed. Cade's men must've reported the situation to him and my mother was probably in trouble right now. "Where was I?" I asked myself as I looked around. A familiar figure was asleep close to me, it was a shirtless masculine figure whose head was buried on the bed. I tried to get out of bed without waking him up but I failed. He woke up at the slightest sound and held me down before I got off the bed."Stay, you're still hurt," he said. It was Chris and I was in his chambers. "What am I doing here? How did I get here?" I asked."I brought you here, you were injured and needed to be taken care of," he explained."Thank you," I said, my gaze fixed on his bare chest. I swallowed hard as I fought the urge growing inside m

    LUCY Weeks after my return from the hallowed manes packs, my mother made sure she kept her eyes on me always. She prohibited me from leaving the pack and from having any secret meetings with Cade after she heard all that had happened to me.It was exhausting being by my mother's side all the time, I had things to do but she wouldn't let me. How was I supposed to win the trust of Cade again if I was stuck by her side like a child?Nathan and I had reconciled and returned to being best of friends but things had changed. I kept my secrets from him even though he tried to get them out of my mouth. He was his father's son and not to be trusted. you wouldn't blame me for being so careful around him. "A penny for your thoughts," Nathan said, drifting my thoughts away. "I'm tired of being stuck here, I need a break from my mother," I complained."Go out then, I'll cover for you," he winked.Daring my mother wasn't new but I didn't want to get her worried again.

    CHRIS All I could think of all week was Lucy and how she was fairing with the injury. Glen my beta had offered to keep an eye out for the rogue's pack to ensure her safety. Each day he returned with no positive results, and she wasn't seen leaving the pack. I found it unusual because Lucy wasn't the type to be confined to a particular place, she loved the woods and spent most of her time there. What if she had been imprisoned for going against her leader? I had thought.Most of the time, I accompanied my beta to see things for myself. Well, luck shone on me this time when I saw her sneak out of that gate that night. I heaved a sigh of relief. Alas, she was alright after all. I could see the surprise written all over her when she saw me on the cliff accompanied by my guards. "What are you doing here?" she asked. "To see you of course. I wanted to be sure that you were safe in there, it's good to see that you're fine," I said."I'm fine as you can see," she muttered."I can see th

    LUCYFew days had passed since Lothar was killed. Normalcy returned in the pack and everything seemed to be going peacefully. With Lothar's tyranny finally vanquished, the pack could begin to heal from the wounds of betrayal and deceit. My mother had returned to the pack after much persuasion from I and Chris. Though she preferred to be away from the pack considering how they had treated her and my father in the past. Her eyes filled up with tears as she recalled the past events. "You did it, Lucy. You brought us back home," my mother said, her tears flowing freely down her cheek."No, mother. We did. Without you, I wouldn't have had the courage to fight back," I said, my voice shaky as I fought the tears. Chris' mother approached us, her expression pained as she apologised for the sins of her family. "I'm greatly sorry, Lucy, for all that my family put you through. We should have done better in finding the truth.""None of this is your fault, anyone would do the same if they wer

    CHRISI, Chris Parker, the vibrant leader and alpha of the hallowed manes pack was now subjected to a life of misery. My guards who were once my loyal subordinates were now against me, torturing the hell out of me.I endured the torment of the dungeon with only one motive in mind, vengeance. The pain of the wolfsbane coursing my veins only served as fuel to my determination. I gritted my teeth in agony as the wolfsbane began to take its toll on me. But I refused to give my captors the satisfaction of seeing my falter.After much torture, Lothar decided to pay me a visit. The scorn on his face infuriated me, causing me to curse under my breath. "You look a mess, Chris. I didn't reckon that my boys would be this harsh to their Alpha," he mocked."You bloody traitor. I should give it to you. You played your game so well, betraying both father and son," I said."Oh please don't flatter me. I was just one step ahead of you folks in everything. You know, I wasn't originally from here. Yo

    CHRISAs I got close to Lothar's quarters, I had my doubts about telling him what Cade had told me. It was top secret and should remain the same until I was sure of who to trust. Not that I didn't trust Lothar in any way, as a matter of fact, I did. I trusted Lothar not because he had stood by me but because he was my father's beta and best friend. But things at the pack were getting overboard and I didn't know what to do.Since Lucy had suggested that I told him, why shouldn't I? I arrived at his door and found it unusually open. So unlike Lothar, I must say, he kept to himself most times and kept his door shut at all times. I peeped into the dark room and found a shirtless figure standing in the room, his chest was bare and his muscles were taut in tension. At first, I couldn't tell if it was Lothar or someone else."Lothar," I said, my voice filled with uncertainty.The shirtless man turned and it turned out to be Lothar as I expected. "You're finally here," he said. I didn't u

    LUCY"Cade," I muttered. My body was covered in his blood as I tried to stop the bleeding. Cade whimpered and pleaded for forgiveness, but it was too late for that. All I needed was the name of whoever did this. Cade tried to speak but I couldn't figure out what he was saying. "He's here," that was all I heard. His bloodied hand pointed to something ahead of us. I raised my head to see who it was but his face wasn't clear enough. "Looking for me?" the man sneered. Before I could say anything or do anything, he struck me with his sword.My eyes fluttered open, the remnant of the nightmare still clinging in my head like a cobweb. I glanced around the dimly lit chamber, my heart pounding heavily against my ribs as I tried to shake off the fear. "Chris," I called out after I realized that he wasn't beside me. There was no answer and my unease deepened. Where could he be? I recalled that he had gone to see Lothar to further discuss ways of catching the murderer, but I didn't realize

    CHRISFrom the moment Cade's lifeless body was found in the dungeon, I had a deep suspicion that one of the elders was involved in this mischief. "Get me Orvyn," I demanded.I sat in the courtroom, grappling with the weight of the recent events, my mind churned with suspicion and great uncertainty. "Are you sure of what you're doing?" Lucy asked. "Are you sure Orvyn is the killer?""I'm certain he's responsible for all that has happened so far," I said.I recalled the night, the pack had been attacked under Cade's lead, how the guards at the gate had been rendered unconscious. One of the guards had informed me that Orvyn had offered them drinks before they had succumbed to unconsciousness. It was a revelation that had fueled my suspicions.The guards securing the dungeon had also been poisoned which made me believe that he had a hand in Cade's death. He probably was hiding something and feared that Cade would reveal the truth.Orvyn was led to the courtroom, bound with hands and fee

    CADEMy stay in the dungeon had taught me a lot of lessons I wished I had known long ago. My envy and greed had made me lose the people I valued most, friends and family. "I know you hate me because of the throne, but I need you to know that I wouldn't be taking your place if it hadn't been assigned to me to do so," my younger brother said.I scoffed. "Save me the details, I know you are more than glad to be stealing my position as alpha of this pack. I knew Father had always chosen you over me but that will never happen. The throne is mine and there's nothing you or anyone else can do about it."On the day of his coronation, I watched in envy as my brother took my place as alpha. I wished I could strangle him where he stood with the rest of the elders. I hated my father and brother so much that I rarely spent time in the palace. Rather, I built another pack of my own far from the pack, a rogue pack in my name where I could be alpha. I recruited many rogues and formed an army of my

    CHRIS "Your father's killer is somewhere in this palace, waiting for the right time to strike."Who was the killer? I spent most of my time convincing Cade to spill the truth to me but he kept beating around the bush. I was beginning to doubt that he knew anything about my father's death. Maybe he could be the killer like Lucy said and was trying to trick me into believing him." I know you have your doubts, Chris, but I'm telling the truth. I didn't kill your father," Cade had said."If you didn't then why did you elope from the palace after his death?" I asked."I had to else I would be blamed for his death. As for Lucy's father, he was set up by the killer. He walked into your father's chambers right in time to be caught by the guards. He was framed by the killer who was close to both your father and Lucy's father," Cade explained."Why should I believe you? You tried to kill me before," "You don't have to believe me and yes, I did try to kill you. The throne had always been my p

    LUCYThe thought that Chris could be in danger bothered me for days. After my encounter with the old lady in the woods, I couldn't keep her warnings off my head. How could I return to a place where I wasn’t welcomed? I could be in danger if I returned to the hallowed manes pack and Chris too could lose his position as alpha if I showed up again at the pack. But his life was in danger and going back was the only option I had. “What seems to bother you, Lucy? You’ve been lost in thought for a while now,” my mother said in a worried tone.I didn’t want to bother her with my issues. I had promised her that I would stay away from the hallowed manes until it was right for me to return there. “Nothing is wrong, mother. I just miss the good old days at the rogue pack,” I lied.My mother sighed, placing a hand on my shoulder. “I miss those days too, I miss those happy days. But it’s good we are here, we get to forget all of the sad memories and create happy memories for ourselves.”I nodded.

    CHRISI couldn’t get Cade’s words out of my head, the more I thought of it, the more it sent hot chills down my spine. Could what he had said be the truth? Could it be that Cade, the man I had always seen as my enemy, actually be innocent of my father’s murder?I stood before Cade in the dungeon not knowing what to do, my heart pounding heavily on my chest as I sought answers from him. “What do you know about the man that killed my father?” I demanded.“I already told you all that you need to know,” Cade said, his words leaving me in a state of confusion. “You haven’t said anything to salvage the situation. Who is responsible for my father’s death?” I asked. “That’s for you to find out, Chris. I have done my part,” Cade insisted. I pondered on his words. Why was he keeping the truth from me? Was it one of the elders?Cade sighed. “I know you suspect the elders 'cause they are in league with me. Yes, they have always supported my course from the get-go but they are not smart enough
