Kristen’s POV“Game over Kristen”My mouth went parched after he said those words. I could hear my own heartbeat while my wolf cheered like a high school girl. Could she not fantasize over this? Did she not realize we were both screwed if he caught up with us?I turned to Ben, who seemed alert, but he was still driving like a human_ very fucking slow! If I continued to let him drive, Lucian was going to catch up with me and that would be the end, All my efforts to run away from him for a year would be for nothing.“Let’s switch places!” I yelled out, trying to get my voice over the loudness of the windHe turned to look at me as if I had lost my mind. “Huh?” He probably felt it was ridiculous switching places with a woman who he concluded didn’t know how to drive better than he did.“You heard me, now let’s switch. We need to get rid of him!” I yelled further at him in desperation. Our car was hit again, this time more forcefully that Ben hit his head hard on the steering wheels due to
Let me go!” I yelled as I struggled with the guards who held me by my two arms. Everybody that had been present had already gone and the streets had become empty, so I did not have anyone to help me or call 911.Yes, I would definitely call 911 on Lucian if I had the chance to. I would do anything to get rid of him.They led me to a corner and threw me to the floor before the devil himself. I looked up at Lucian as I glared hard. I wanted to desperately slap the smirk off his face.“Don’t act mad, I had to get you one way or the other” He muttered in satisfactionI glared even harder. “Damn you Lucian!” I shot venomously at the him, but that did not take away the amused look he had on his face.He bent to where I was crouched as he cupped my chin. “We were having a conversation and I didn’t like the outcome of it. I will ask you just one time and don’t you dare lie to me. Where the hell is my son Kristen?” he asked coldly. His voice did a good job of informing that he wasn’t there to p
Lucian’s POV“You know being angry isn’t going to make you find her ” My wolf spoke out. If there was anyone who was adding to my troubles, it was him. I needed time and space to think, but he wasn’t giving me the liberty to do that. He felt he had all the rights to talk since he warned me about not neglecting her and I did, so I had to face the blues of what I had created.“This is all your fault Lucian” he shot at me, equally as pissed as me. “If you just loved her as I asked you to do, she wouldn’t have ran away with our pups!”I groaned in frustration. “For God's sake, how many times do I have to tell you she didn’t have pups! It was just one kid. Not two, not three, not four!” I yelled like a mad man, banging my fist on the table. I was so frustration. I needed to think and that was the least I could do if he continued whining in my head.He gasped as though he was stunned at my outburst. I had never met a more dramatic wolf as him. “Don’t you dare yell at me! Do you know how m
Kristen’s POVI did the only thing a sane person would do and that was pack my bags while I left him behind the counter like I didn’t know him. I took my bag and off I went.“Have a nice weekends guys!” I bided the rest of the employees goodbye and off I went. When I mean went, I literally ran like a mad woman being chased.Outside the restaurant was a lonely road and I had to get to a certain place before I could board a cabI was scared because I knew Lucian wasn’t a man to just stop, give up and go back to his house. He would rather chase me this night until he squeezed the truth out of me.That was what I was desperately trying to avoid. If he caught up to me, I was done for.Anyways, I really overestimate my legs. I ran like a crazy person, but realized all my efforts were furtile when a car honked beside me. The window went down and I gasped when I realized it was Lucian.“No Lucian, No!” I screamed at him as though I was insane. My nervousness made me scream like that.As I ran,
Kristen’s POVI did not know I passed out until I woke up couple of hours. Fear gripped me as I stared at where I was. A dark king sized bedroom. My heart sunk when I remembered the incident that happened previously. How was I not in chains? He seemed like he was ready to do that with the last thing I remembered him saying. How was I on top of a bed and not a dungeon?Then it clicked. My eyes widened as I looked under the duvet that covered my body. My heart skipped when I realized I was not in the same clothes I was putting on before. What went on in my head was probably he believed his son was actually dead and wanted to make another heir with me. The dress I wore to work that day had been replaced with a big t-shirt.“Shit!” I cursed, springing up to my feet. I did not bother grabbing the slippers that was at the corner of the bed. I rushed to the door of the bedroom. I tried opening the door, but discovered it was locked.I swallowed hard as I buried my face in my palm in both ag
“Make it official, mark me” I mouthed those words as my hands shook by my side. It was absurd for me to expect such from a man whose concerns were far from commitment, but I had to push my luck just a little furtherAs I almost expected, he snickered “Go on, spew more impossible things and I will stay back and marvel at your audacity”That caused rage to boil inside of me. He thought it was a joke“That is my condition, you should respect it”His eyes darkened “The same way you did to mine? You breached that contract. That contract contained my condition, you didn’t respect it. Why should I do the same to yours”I hated how right he was and how he placed me in a situation where I had to find me words.He saw I was speechless and that made him speak again“Marking you is something far from what I would do to you or even any other woman. You are just a piece of tramp that I can get a hold of whenever I want,” he blurted out, making me feel annoyed.I clenched my fist beside me in rage “
Kristen's POV“Marry me,” I heard him say.I was forced to scoff. It was okay for him to ask for something in return, but marriage was too far from it. I couldn’t even try to hide the disgust I felt at that point. At that point, I could boldly say ‘all men were scum’“Excuse me?” I asked, hoping he would come back to his senses and ask for something else.With a sly smirk still on his face, he repeatedly. “You heard me, didn’t you?”“I did, but….”He cut me short. “You don’t consider me competent enough to be your husband? I don’t think you understand how big this is. I am the CEO of the most successful oil company in this country, also the owner of one of the biggest fashion companies in the world. You do realize that this isn’t something you should even think about”I shook my head. “That is not the point, we barely even know each other”“That doesn’t matter” he placed his index finger under my chin he moved my face up and down. “You are pretty, I am rich, the perfect combination”
Kristen’s POVMy mouth became parched the moment she said that. I kicked the grocery bag away and rushed inside the house, hoping what Brianna had said was far from the truth. My heart felt clammed with so much pain.“No no no…” I recited inside my head as my lips trembled. I got inside the house, which had been scattered. The couch had been flipped over and the TV was smashed on the floor. I did not care about that. I rushed all the way upstairs to see if my son was in his cot.It felt like a nightmare when I got there and he was not there. The room was scattered. Even his cot had been broken. Tears slipped out of my cheeks as it became difficult to breathe. I remembered how much I saved to get the cot. How much I worked to make sure my son got a better life and didn’t suffer.All that had gone down the drain. I slipped to the floor as I held my chest. More tears came down my cheeks. “Ahhhhhhhh” I screamed. He finally had Hardy, how would I ever get him back.Someone touched me from b
Lucian’s POV “No, it won’t work that way…” my Beta disagreed. We were both in my office, speaking on matter concerning the pack’s development and we were having an argument about it. “What makes you say so? If we take in more members into the pack, we will be able to increase our man power and strength in the pack too.” I argued but my beta didn’t seem to agree with me. He was like the one who manages the pack’s financial and official matter while I just assisted him in giving orders. This time around, I needed his opinion, as he knew more about these things than I do. “Yes…” he mentioned. “You’re right about that, but have you thought of how you’re gonna sustain those new man power you’re gonna be bringing in?” His question put me in depth thought. Just as I was pondering an it, he continued with his argument. “As at now, prices of stock have…” he kept on rambling about business matters that gave me a huge headache. Today has been especially stressful for me, and I’ve
Kristen’s POV “What do you mean?” I asked with a confused tone but Lucian’s face looked so annoyed that it made me wondered what I had done this time. “I won’t ask you again, Kristen. Why are you still involved with Roselle?” He asked again. This time, his voice was far more calmer but had an even more deadlier aura to it. Unfortunately, this wasn’t my first time having such an attitude from him. Even more, I was still confused. “I don’t understand you at all. I’m just here cleaning the room while this bi…” she tried to explain but had to swallow her word at the last minute, lest she starts something she won’t be able to finish. “…lady here, kept insulting me.” I completed. He squinted his gaze and I could feel his piercing gaze look at me. If eyes could kill, I’d be on the brink of death by just looking into his eyes. “Then why are you still here. You shouldn’t be cleaning this place at all and you should go find somewhere else to clean until I’m done with my meeting her
"Sorry about that. I'll leave." I said, my head bowed as I stood up and walked out of the place immediately. I could still hear her voice in the distance as she scolded me. The words themselves hurt because it felt as though I was intruding in a case that had to do with my own child. I left immediately and made my way to the kitchen.Looking for something that would take my mind off the scolding and the reminder that I may never get my son back. I sat on the counter, looking for something to do but my thoughts were far from settled. I got down immediately and began to pace back and forth, not knowing what to do.There was no way I was going to let him give away my son. I didn't didn't him tondash my hope and only source of joy like it was nothing. But hoe? That was the only question we didn't have an answer to. I had tried everything within my powers but none of it worked. In fact it even seemed to get worse with the way Lucian didn't want me begging him again and also the interview i
LUCIAN."You know damn well the Pack wants a Luna and I want a mate, why are you denying us one?!" My wolf growled in anger but I didn't reason."Answer me!!" It yelled again, making me clenched my head in pain.But I made sure not to voice the pain out or he would relish in the funny tricks he played with my head, making me act like I was crazy."You wanna know why?" I asked, already chuckling at my next words."Say it already!!" The guttural voice sounded again."Because I don't want to. It's not your choice to make. It is my choice and I get to decide what happens- aaargh!" A blinding pain stopped me halfway through my speech. "Just fucking stop!' I yelled in anger, noting the way my face had turned red in the mirror."You wanna know why?" My wolf growled, I noted the satire almost immediately."F*ck you!" I cursed under my breath."We don't have to do this the hard way, just do as I ask. But you can choose the hard way though. Just have it in mind that I am not letting you go unt
My throat went parched as I stared at his eyes which held apathy. The heartlessness this man possessed made it difficult for me to bring myself to beg because I already knew he wasn’t going to accept my apologyEspecially when he was still angry at me for making him go all through all the stress he went through to find his son.Secondly, I considered him as someone whose heart was made of stone. There was no way he would agree to my plea.I thought of the only thing that could possibly save me from the situation and that was fleeing.I ran towards the door as fast as I could, then I started banging on i., screaming at the same time “Help! Somebody help! Please!”I banged my fist on the hard door with all my might until it started hurting. I didn’t stop screaming until every last part of throat ached.It then occurred to me that I was wasting my time. Lucian knew I was doing so to and that was why he didn’t move an inch to stop me.He remained where he was with folded arms as he stared
Kristen’s POVThe flight from Australia to California took about 16 hours. I was okay throughout the flight, not until we started getting closer to California. My hands suddenly started shaking as I remembered I would have to face the man that sent so much dread to my soul and beg him to release my son.What would I do if he denied me of the rights of seeing my son? He could do that and I wouldn’t be able to do anything because right there in the contract paper, it stated that once I had given birth to the child, he had all right to him.The plane landed and while walking in the airport, my legs wobbled. I did not know if I should blame it on my jet lag or nervousness. I was so thrown off, thinking about how I was going to speak or even act.“Miss Kristen” I heard my name as soon as I got out of the airport. I looked in confusion at the blonde man who stood beside a car, dressed in a black suit and black shades.“Alpha Lucian sent me” he spoke and then he gestured his hand towards the
Two days later…..After finding it difficult to eat or even sleep for days, I decided to the dreaded: Return back to California. I was going back after leaving for a year and vowing never to show my face in that place again. Lucian did all he did to trap me. I figured it was the case when he offered to pay for my flight down to California.With weak shaky hands, I packed my clothes into my box while Brianna watched me with saddened eyes, standing by the door. It was obvious she didn't want me to go, but she couldn't try to stop me because she knew I had to go and fight for my son.What she was concerned about was my health. I had turned sick due to how much I had missed my son and I was still planning to travel in that state. She was against it,.“If I continue to stay here, I will get worse. Lucian has made it clear that he is not going to release my son to me, so I have to leave Brianna” I said, turning back to fold my clothes neatly into my box. She sighed in frustration. “At leas
