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
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
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
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
"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
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
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 POVAmongst other packs I had heard of, the DARKMOON pack had to be the only one that struck my heart with so much fear that I shivered whenever I heard its name. Not only because of how much power the pack possessed, but the Alpha himself. The same alpha that was rumored to have killed his parent after years of being treated like a slave by them.He was a ruthless, cruel man who didn’t have a heart and even if he did, it would be made of stone. Alpha Lucian, was an Alpha who sent people trembling just by the mention of his name…..And that was the same man I was going to be sold to. My stepfather had heard all these rumors about him, but he still expected me to become a baby machine to such a monster just because of money and more power.Tears flooded down my cheeks as I stared at the contract papers in my hands. The papers had the potential of snatching away my freedom for a year.I was not appalled because I was going to be a baby machine for a ruthless Alpha. I was more

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
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”
