Thirty minutes earlier, the kids of Everly School stood in the front of a bus when Newton and Livey came running towards them.
“You two are late” the principal reprimanded and they solemnly apologized.“In a single line, get into the bus” the principal ordered and the kids hopped in then the teachers and they finally left. The drive to the Lock Enterprises took thirty minutes, Livey arranged the kids while they walked into the company, close to the entrance she inhaled a familiar yet intoxicating scent,
“Ash” she murmured in her thoughts or she thought she was mistaken.Once she got in, she found him staring at the kids with a smile on his face,
Her eyes widened in shock to see him again, two years had passed and he still looked very handsome, his hair was longer and his jawline was more prominent. This was the first time she had seen him in a suit and he looked manly in it.Livey watched him raise his hea
Livey laid restless on her bed late in the evening, she couldn’t shake off the fact that Ash was in an hotel to be introduced to to another woman if they hadn’t gotten on to it yet.She stood up, packed her hair into a messy bun, wore some jeans and a shirt, picked out any shoe she saw in her closet and wore them.She took a cab to the Swiss hotel and arrived there in five minutes,Welcomed in a waiter, she requested for a bottle of water while she scanned her eyes searching for Ash, she found him at a corner and seated right in front of him was an elderly man with his young daughter who was much younger than her.“So Ash, how is the business going?” Mr Cod asked,“Everything is normal which is a good sign” Ash answered respectfully.“I would not lie to you, I didn’t bring you here for business I have something else in mind that I want to discuss with you.This is my daughter Ciara&rdq
Livey stood there in a daze after the kiss, she didn’t utter a single word because she had lost what to say to him. Starting a conversation with someone she hadn’t seen for two years and yet she somehow made a scene in front of him was quite hard.“Have a seat” Ash sat on the bed waiting for her to join him.“I..”“How are you doing?” He cut her words short,“Am okay” she replied. She tried to explain why she left him but then the words wouldn’t come out.“You have grown more beautiful” he complimented and she blushed,“Thank you” she said.“Do you know how long I looked for you?” he cut to the chase after being nice for a few seconds,“I searched everywhere that I almost gave up” he added.“I didn’t mean to leave you” She said, it wasn’t just her choice to leave him but other circumst
Livey stretched her hands to touch Ash but he wasn’t there, she sat up searching for him.“Ash” she called but there was no response.‘Did he leave her?’ She thought, could he actually be paying her back for what she did to him.The door to the bathroom opened and Ash stepped out with a towel strapped to his waist, When Livey saw him, she sighed in relief and the began checking him out, from his muscles to his abs and chest, she couldn’t take her eyes off him.“You called me” he said, he had heard his name underneath her worrisome voice and came out to respond to her.“I feared that you left me” she snapped out of it and hugged his slightly wet body.“I would never do that, remember I promised that I would never leave you” he reminded her of their conversation last night and she nodded.“Why don’t you take a shower and then we can go out and enjoy the weekends&r
Livey woke up to a kiss on her forehead,“Good morning babe” Ash greeted wearing his white shirt.“What time is it?” Livey grunted stretching her hands.“You are early” he replied in regards to her job, he knew she was worried to know if she was late or not.“Would you love to go on a date tonight?” He asked respectfully waiting for her response.She smiled and then nodded her head, it would be her first official date with him, why wouldn’t she accept it when it was what she wanted.He kissed her lips prying his tongue in her mouth thanking her for the approval.“You have twenty minutes or else you would be late” he teased her, Livey sprinted to the bathroom to have a shower while he laughed at how cute she was.Ash waited in the living room for her after getting ready, once she came out he was flabbergasted, her dress was beautiful matching with her eloquent face, her hair
Livey stood in front of the mirror proud of the efforts she made to look good for Ash, she wear a black dress with a slit in front and her back exposed, she refused tying her hair into a ponytail because Ash didn’t like it.She stepped out in red shoes and a red purse, as Ash saw her while he was leaning on the car his jaw dropped. He couldn’t actually believe his eyes, she looked so good and yet so sexy that he wished to take her all in.“From your expression I believe I look marvelous” Livey said bringing him back from his wild thoughts.“Yeah.. Uhmm.. divine” he stuttered unsure of the words to describe the beauty in front of him. He opened the door for her not after he had stolen another kiss accidentally wearing her lipstick.“Cherries” he complimented after tasting her lips, he stared at her one more time admiring her before they drove off.Arriving at the Shire’s, the place was oddly quietly wi
Livey finished work the next day and return home to find him in the kitchen, it felt so nice to come back to him, he became the home she had once had.“You should have just called me and I would have picked you up” Ash said watching her take off her shoes.“It’s okay, I was just excited to come meet you back at home” she answered giving him a warm hug, her hair was greasy from all the sweat but he didn’t mind.She hopped along to have a warm bath and then joined him for dinner, Ash watched her eat while he waited for her to give him the least bit of attention.He had something to tell her but he reluctant to disturb her so he stared at her a while.Live noticed that he hadn’t touched his food,“Why aren’t you eating?” She asked, her voice was laced with worry, she got a feeling that something was wrong.“I need to tell you something” he said with a heavy heart n
The Peach moon pack was lively and green being taken care of by Gamma Brent while Beta Damon took care of other matters outside the pack reaching it to bigger heights.Gamma Brent left for a meeting with other Alphas that the Peach moon pack was in alliance representing Ash so he actually missed his arrival.Ash rested in his room for a bit before he thought of talking to Scarlett about Livey identifying her as his true mate.While he closed his eyes he felt someone watching him closely and he had no other choice than to open his eyes and found the last person he ever wanted to see with a gloomy look on her face.“Welcome Alpha” Gabrielle greeted respectfully making him wonder what she had up her sleeve, she tried to take off his shoes as a sign of good gestures but Ash refused taking them off instead.“Still cold to me” she said taking a few steps back from him.“Can we talk?” He requested making him sit up
The guards and warriors of the Peach moon pack assembled at the castle in the grand hall due to a royal request.Scarlett stood tall in front of them with her head held high.“It brings me so much sadness to inform you that Alpha Ash, my son is dead. This might be a lot for us to accept but we have to face the truth that he would no longer be with us again” Scarlett said in a loud tone as it filled the ears of every male and female warrior in the hall.The news threw them into an uproar as they began to question what happened to him.“We all know that Beta Damon is only related to duties outside the pack and is responsible for all the alliances of other packs that we have so he wouldn’t be burdened with stepping up to be the Alpha, besides he is already against it.I have decided to take the responsibility of this pack upon my shoulders and become the Alpha of this pack replacing my son. I promise to serve and rule without b
The next day, Livey decided to have a peak at the market to buy a few things for herself and communicate more with her people but also to know if word has gotten out about her child being a cursed child.She wore a disguise making her unrecognizable as the Queen as she stepped out with just one guard.“Do you really have to do this?” Newton asked scared about her plans, he was against the idea of her leaving the castle after he had heard that Helon was still alive.“Come on, I need to do this Atleast once in a while” Livey answered him walking down the stairs.“It’s fine if you want to go to the market but can I atleast follow you?” He requested.“No, if you follow me then it would raise suspicions about what a chief guard was doing in the market then I would in turn be bursted” she answered him.“I could wear a disguise” he suggested and she instantly laughed at him.“See who is beginning to act like me, you don’t need to wear a disguise because you are not coming” she stated
A new council was formed before Livey consisting of Three men and three women.They had a meeting to talk about the issues of the Kingdom when a man bathed in on them.“Helon, what are you doing here?” Livey said, she wasn’t interested in the fact that he was still alive after escaping Judah’s attack but what she was more concerned was what he was doing there.She thought he was back to fight for the kingship title with Ash.“Am I not allowed to be here?” He asked standing in front of them.“Only members of the council and the king and Queen are allowed to be here” a member of the council stated.Helen looked around and he could find Ash, he wondered where he could but instead he tried to use his absence to his advantage.“I am the King of Atlantis, you can refer to me as the former king but a king is still a king” he said taking a seat among them. He scanned again for Thane and he wasn’t present.‘What a pleasant surprise’ he thought to himself.“You were no king before, you were ju
In the witches coven, Maggie had gone there to seek refuge after she had escaped livey and refused helping her, she waited in a room for whoever was the leader.“So you are the witch who refused to help the Queen” a masculine voice said and a msn walked into the room seated in front of her crossing his legs.Maggie had never seen him before and he didn’t look like he had powers at all,“Who are you exactly?,I asked to see the leader here” she said boldly, she wasn’t ready to have a conversation with a total stranger.“Well you can refer to me as the former king of Atlantis or better still the leader of the witches” Helon smirked at her.“So you are King Helon, the man who fled in the face of Judah” she said abc he felt ashamed about that.The news of him running away from Atlantis in fear of Judah was no news ti anyone in the witches coven.“Any man in my condition would have fled fir his life” He defended himself.Helon’s plan when he was in Atlantis was very simple, get married to
“Lord Thane” Newton bowed to him as he walked towards them.“I make you King and instead of thanking me, You go ahead to attack him” Thane stated walking past Ash and towards his niece Livey.“I am so glad that you are back” He hugged her tightly.Thane had feared that once she got to Ash she might not want to come back and would want to stay back and enjoy the comfort of his love leaving the throne vacant so he went through much effort to make Ash King by making a proclamation throughout the land.“Same here uncle” she answered with a smile.“Ash, what was the fuss all about,Can you tell me why you were fighting with your right hand man” Thane turned back to Ash with a strict demeanor, he wasn’t angry about what just happened but he had to act like he was.“My right hand, how come he get to be my right hand man, he is just the chief warrior, I can pick whoever I want as my right hand man” Ash objected.He was against having Newton close to him and talking to him about important when
“You called for me” Gamma Brent peeped into Ash room before walking in,“Have a seat Brent” Ash instructed and he did.“I will be returning back to Atlantis with Livey in two days time and I don’t think I will come back anytime soon” Ash disclosed to him immediately and Brent was Quiet listening to him.“Okay, but when will you return so that I can know how long you would be away and stand in for you” Brent asked.He had always been stepping in for Ash each time he was out, making sure the pack was well taken care of.When he left for Atlantis with Livey for the first time he was given the whole pack to take care of.“That’s the point,If I come back then it won’t be my pack anymore, it would be yours.I would just come back for visits” Ash explained to him and Brent thought he was joking about it.“You want to leave the whole pack to me,Are you okay?.You cannot leave the pack to me, I am not ready to rule a pack” Brent defended.Taking full responsibility of a pack was a big load f
Livey had been feeling nostalgic for the last few days and decided to visit the doctor to run some test wondering why she was sick when she was a wolf.“It’s nice to see you again Luna Livey” the pack doctor said smiling, it had been a while since she last saw Livey and she was excited to see her again.“Nice to see you too doctor” Livey answered with a polite smile. She could tell by the doctor’s face that she was more happier to see her than she did.“Well I have good news for you Luna?Why isn’t the Alpha here to hear such news” The doctor asked.The results she was about to give her would been a beautiful news for Ash and she wished he had heard it himself. She thought about how excited he would be to find out about it that she couldn’t help but think that he should be called before giving out the results.“Why does he have to be here, Am I dying?” Livey asked panicking.At this moment she began to think about the curse placed on her and wondered if it was the curse beginning its
“You have powers” Sapphire said in terror, she had not expected her to have powers at all, now she was at loss because all she had was just her knife to fight back and her wolf.“What did you think?” Livey smirked.“And don’t you dare think this isn’t a fair fight because you tortured me when I was powerless using Alpha Paul as your strong hold. It’s time for revenge bitch” Livey casually walked in and burning every single thing her hand could touch.“You know I once thought I was going to die by your hands, I never thought I was going to escape you but here I am now” she added and Sapphire just stared at her with widened eyes.Most of her things were burning and the fire kept spreading.‘Is she going to burn me?” She asked herself in fear.“I should have killed you back then” Sapphire blurted out, she didn’t want to act so cowardly in front of Livey, Livey was a woman who was once beneath her and at her mercy, just because she now had powers to defend herself doesn’t mean she would b
Ash had decided to reduce the number of men he took to the Dark moon pack. he carried about a dozen warriors, Livey, Gamma Brent and Mel who wanted to tag along.When they got to the pack house, Three guards were standing guard by the entrance. Ash and Brent snuck up on them and Mel struck the third one with a spear to his head. They safely got into the pack house and they split up.Livey left them to search for Sapphire while Ash went ahead to find Alpha Paul.He walked towards a secluded chambers in the pack house until he found Alpha Paul stepping out of his room.“Alpha Ash, are you paying a visit or you are here to kill me?” He asked standing agile before him. Alpha Paul wasn’t scared of him because he still saw him as a youth despite how much he had aged and looked more of a man now nothing changed to him that he was much younger than him.“I think you know the answer to that, you outdid yourself thinking you can take my mate away from me.You may have tried it before and succee
Livey sat in front of a tree Ash had planted in respect of the death of her parents.“Hi mom, It’s me Livey.It’s been a while we spoke and I am sorry I haven’t visited you in a while, I have been really busy. A lot has happened in my life since you left and I know more is still coming me way.I just wish you were alive and here with me” she said with a solemn face and a heavy heart.It had been years since her parents died leaving her alone in the world.“Not a day goes by that I don’t miss you, I missed the times we spent together.I still want to thank you for teaching me how to use my powers, if you hadn’t taught me all that then I would still be used by others and not able to fight back” she stated.Livey had always been grateful for the training she got from her mom, because of it she was able to escape Alpha Paul, she could fight Scarlett and Gabrielle and last but not the least Judah, she wouldn’t have made it that far if she hadn’t taught her all she knew.“But then again yo
