The Lyncan king swayed as he tried to get to the door, his vision becoming blurred and doubled. 'What did you put in my drink?' he asked. 'What are you talking about?' Camellia asked, going to hold him. 'You are dizzy, why don't you sit on the bed for a while, at least till you regain your strength?' she asked. Hector pushed her away and opened the door to her shock. He staggered to the living room and out the door to the hotel downstairs where he immediately got into the car already waiting for him. 'Drive!' he ordered Samuel, who needed no other prompting as he saw his boss in that condition. 'Boss, what's wrong with you?' Samuel asked. 'You look...' 'Drugged', Hector finished for him. 'I've been drugged by Camellia. She wanted me to sleep with her, when I refused, she drugged my drink. I need a drug to counter the effect!' Samuel drove to a pharmacy and got him the drug and a bottle of water. After swallowing the drug, Hector started to feel cooler and better. Earlier, when
Alexa could not get what happened out of her mind and decided to pay Myles a visit that weekend. She got her sitter to stay with her pups and she went off, her intention was to get back early. As she was about to leave, her phone rang. It was Dr. Arnold. 'Hello doctor!' she greeted. 'You didn't come to check up on Landon like you promised!' 'That is the reason I am calling', Dr. Arnold said. 'Something came up and I had to travel to the states', he explained. 'I wanted to call and inform you but it escaped my memory and his I'll health was not really a serious issue, so I thought, I'd visit when I got back! How is he feeling though?'he asked. 'Very well. He has not complained of any I'll health or weakness since then but he has been asking about you and that is pretty odd!' 'Children get attached to the doctors who treat them well and he must have heard you speaking good of me and that's why he seems to trust me. Trust is what makes pups like their doctors! Anyway, tell him I shal
After listening to his narrative, Alexa was touched. Why was fate playing games with them all and their emotions. Would it not have been easier for Myles to have fallen in love with Patricia who loved him unreservedly? 'I know that you didn't come here to listen to my tale', Myles continued. 'So, why exactly are you here? Not that I am complaining Ng of course. You can come here everyday if you want!' 'I want you to help me. Teach me how to master my powers, how to direct them and I'd like to know how to make spells and other things that witches do',she said. 'I want to be able to defend myself!' 'Do you know you are about the most powerful woman alive, you are a tribrid for goodness sake and synchronizing the powers of the three species that make up your whole self, is a rare gift. Infact, I pity anyone who dares cross you!' he said. 'Thank you, but I still want to know all these things, else how am I going to be a good witch?' 'You shall be a great witch', Myles said with confi
The Lyncan king Hector had met with some Alphas of packs about the signing of a treaty but the meeting was adjourned to a later date. On the way, the car developed a technical fault and all Samuel did to get it to start again was fruitless. Hector was already tired from the arguments at the meeting and stress due to the sleepless nights he'd had recently. He had not been sleeping properly, especially with his father troubling him to come visit him. 'I have a surprise waiting for you!' he said. He knew the surprise was nothing other than another she - wolf he wanted to mate him with and he was not interested. His father was never tired of match making. Hector was sure that if he hadn't already retired due to his accidental loss of power and given him the mantle of Lyncan king, his father would have blackmailed him into marrying the female of his choosing, like he had wanted to do with Challotte. He had not yet resolved the issue of his mates which he was still tackling with. Looking
Hector went to the family Villa to see his father as requested and as he had suspected, met the surprise his father had prepared for him. 'It has been up to a week now that I have been asking you to come visit but you have been hedging', the ex Lyncan king said. 'Thank goodness you finally obliged your father!' 'Hope you are okay, father?' Hector asked. 'Never been better, now that you are here!' 'You said you have something important you wish to discuss with me?' he asked as he took a seat opposite his father. 'Hilda', he called for the maid. 'Could you call me Erica?' 'There really is no need for that!' a female voice said. Both Hector and his father looked up. 'Ah, Erica, you are here', his father said, beckoning on the lady called Erica. Hector looked at her, he knew who Erica was, she was indeed a beauty. Apart from acknowledging that, he had no interest whatsoever in her. Erica went to the older man and he placed his hands round her shoulder. 'Hector, my dear boy, you
'If you refuse to marry Erica and insist on continuing with Palmer's illegitimate daughter, then her family members, including the mother of your son, her half sister, will be killed', his father repeated. 'but I shall start with her father. I hear she and her father are quite close', he smirked. 'Let me see how she continues to love you after realising that you are responsible for her father's death!' his father threatened. The fight went out of Hector. He told himself the reason he didn't want Alexa to feel such pain was because he didn't want an innocent life to be lost due to his stubbornness. 'Alright', he said, tiredly. 'I shall speak with Erica Connor!' 'That's my son!' he said. 'I knew you would come around! The Harrison's are known for making the right decisions!' he smiled, going to his son and giving him a hearty pat on his shoulder. 'What can I say?' Hector said dryly. 'It runs in the blood!' 'Ha,ha,ha!' his father laughed merrily as he left the room. 'I shall send Er
Erica bit her lip as soon as Hector left with his Beta. 'Arrogant Prick!' she cursed, no t caring that she was not using language becoming of a lady. 'He must be going to see one of those sisters, especially Alexa!' she fumed. 'I shall not stay here and allow someone outside, someone who is not accepted by the retired Lyncan king, take my right from me!' she vowed. The maid led her through the grounds, and the tour of the rooms. When they got to Lionel's room, where he was playing computer games, she tried to chat up the boy. 'Lionel, how are you?' she said smiling. 'We didn't get to know each other earlier', she said. 'Lets start again, I am Erica and your grand father feels that I am a good choice of wife for your father and I promise I shall be a great mother to you!' 'I don't need another mother!' Lionel shouted, putting down the remote in his hand and flashing his eyes furiously at Erica. Then recollecting himself, said more calmly, 'I mean no offense, Princess Connor, that's
'I can understand that, Dad, really, I can't', Lionel said, sounding thoughtful. 'As the Lyncan king, you do all you can for the pack - the kingdom, they come first but if you are unhappy, will it not also tell negatively on the kingdom?' he asked. 'What do you mean?' Hector asked, though he suspected he knew what his son was insinuating. 'You do alot for the kingdom, shouldn't they also do something for their king?' he asked. 'If marrying someone who will make you happy is the only thing they can do for you, why will they begrudge you, it? I believe that only when you are happy will you make decisions that will benefit all the packs in the kingdom which in turn will make your subjects happy. When you are not happy, it also rubs off on them!' Hector had really not thought of it that way. But there were things his intelligent son didn't know about, like the threat hanging his father had made if he went against him. He was doing this not just for the kingdom but for himself because h
Ex- Lyncan king Spark Harrison and Camellia have been buried and everything seemed to be returning back to normal again. The pups are their happy selves again, dotted on by their grandmothers. 'You will both spoil these children!' Alexa keeps warning Celestine and Mildred. 'They are children and should be spoilt. Very soon they will start training in readiness for their future posts', Celestine said. 'Let them have their fun now so that they will turn out well mentally'. Alexa knew she was referring to her son Henry. It had shocked her to find out first hand that her son could shoot at her. She never thought Henry would want any harm befalling her let alone be the one inflicting such harm. But she guessed she never really knew her son as well as she had thought. So Alexa allowed her pups to be dotted on but that didn't stop her from instilling discipline amongst them as well as fostering love between them, not having favourites, so that the pups don't grow jealous of one anothe
'If your old man think that asking you not to punish me is going to stop me from taking the throne, then he is surely mistaken!' Henry said, smiling like someone who had suddenly gone insane! 'This gun is filled with silver bullets and only one bullet is enough to kill you, Lyncan king or not. Do not make a move towards me or I shall kill you, right away!' Henry continued. 'Why did you have to have to have it all, a biological father, a loving mother, a powerful beautiful wife, three geniuses children - even Camellia could not complete a simple task of killing them because they are both physically powerful as well as mentally alert!' he laughed in self mockery. 'You have your position and wealth. What did I have? Nothing but I am going to remedy that. You have enjoyed enough little brother. It's time for you to go and meet with your father while I help you. I promised to take great care of your wife and pups. They shall be mine. Your position too. I shall so take care of them that you
Henry scoffed. 'If the person who we are suspecting to be the murderer of both people, could be wise enough to dismantle the security system, then what is a little camera that he would not find?''You speak as though you know who the person is', Alexa said looking at Henry challengingly.'You have continuously challenged me, since we found Spark dead this morning', Henry said. 'I don't know how else to convince you of my innocence!' he said. 'I was only trying to say we are dealing with a highly intelligent criminal!''But not so intelligent that he didn't get it that I planted more than one camera!' Alexa said and her mother smiled.'You are bluffing, right?' Henry asked his eyes wide.'Will you too stop this!' Hector bellowed. 'I am getting sick and tired of all this bickering! Since we found Dad this morning, you both have done nothing else. Let's see how we can solve this case together, please, instead of being at each other's throats!' he said, tiredly. 'Do you suppose you can d
'Who were the people who visited Miss Palmer?' the Lyncan king asked the dungeon guards.'Only Lord Henry, ma'am and her mother!' Cletus replied. 'No one else came here except it was an invincible visitor, else we would have seen them!''Henry you always seemed interested in her and you have already clarified that you felt for her!' Hector started. Alexa, I had already given my order, why did you come to see her without my permission?' he asked.'Henry can come to see her anytime he chooses but I can't?' Alexa scoffed unbelievably. 'She was my sister. True there was no love lost between us but she was stilly sister and I couldn't have wished such a brutal end of her!' Alexa said. 'I had actually come to see if she knew anything about the death of your father but she denied any knowledge of it, and funny enough, I believe her. For someone who had been able to go through into the house and out, without any guards seeing her, it is saying much that I believe she is innocent of Spark's de
'Alright!', Camellia replied. 'Go ahead with your questions.'You claim you did not do the old man in', Alexa said again. 'Do you know who might have?' she asked.Again, Camellia's eyes slid to Henry's and catching herself, she looked past him into the distance. 'I have been locked away in this dungeon, how do you suppose I will know who had such intentions or who committed the deed?' she asked, indignant.'But you had access into the building, when you were not supposed to come anywhere close. And it was done so expertly that even the guards didn't know of your presence', Alexa said. 'It signifies you had an inside help. Who could that helper be? One of the servants? a guest? Who helped you gain access into the manor and hid your presence that no one saw you come in and abducty pups from their rooms?' Alexa said, her voice riding.'Don't get worked - up!' Mildted advised her. 'Calm down and be patient. You shall get the right results!''You forget that I have lived here for a short w
Camellia looked up to see Alexa and her mother coming. She never thought she could feel glad to see her half sister. To divert his attention from her as well as alert him to their presence, she said loudly.'To what do I owe the honour of your visit, sweet sister?' she said and Henry looked to find Alexa and her mother already upon them.'Henry what are you doing here?' Alex asked. 'I didn't know you were interested in the criminals who keep here!''I just wanted to understand why such a beautiful she - wolf as your sister would want to tamper with the lives of children, being pregnant herself!' he said looking at Alexa.Camellia saw the way he looked at Alexa and not for the first time, wondered what it was about her sister that got men to fall over themselves at her. She had sensed Henry's feelings for Alexa, during one of the few times they met to plot how to destroy the Lyncan king.'They are happy while you are miserable. That is not fair as far as I am concerned. He is occupying
Hector met his mother at the entrance of the manor, and could sense her agitation. 'Hector, I'm glad you're okay!' she said. 'Did you find the pups?' she asked aware of Henry who was behind her assessing her performance but she was not performing. She was happy they were back safe.'We were able to save them from being roasted to death by that devilish Camellia. And it's all thanks to my wonderful soon - to - be Luna, Alexa!' he said.'Little brother', Henry said. 'I am happy you are back safe and sound with your pups!' he said and as Camellia was bring dragged into the dungeon, added meaningfully, 'Thank goodness the pups were unscratched. Who would have thought it would be such a difficult task!'Camellia looked at him imploringly but he was not even looking at her.Nobody but Celestine and of course Alexa who had suspected he had something to do with it right from the start got the innuendos lacing his words. That was the confirmation she needed but what she wanted was proof. She
Hector twisted her hands behind her, while she screamed in outrage.'Hector!' she howled. 'You never loved me. You never took notice of me. It was always her!' Then looking with deep resentment at her sister, she said, 'Even Henry, who should hate you, is also in love with you. What do you have that I don't? What is so special about you that the men go crazy over you?' she screamed hysterically.'You don't know how to love. You love only yourself, how then can you inspire love in others?' Alexa asked. She turned back and finished loosening the ropes that bound her pups and she whispered some incantation, transferring energy from her body into theirs and their eyes snapped open.'Mum, you are here!' they shouted simultaneously with joy on their faces.'Yes, my babies!' she replied, hugging them all at once. 'You are safe now!''I don't think so!' Camellia said. She had managed to free her hand and had grabbed another lighter. Without wasting time, she lit it and threw it towards the c
She snapped out of her trance and looked at Hector. 'I know where they are!' she said, the image of the unnatural position of their heads haunting her. With heart thumping, she ran out and was going to run to where her mind was directing her but Hector had already driven out the car and throne the passenger door open. 'What are you doing, running to the place?' he asked. 'Jump in!' he ordered.She leapt in and shut the door and Hector drove off at top speed, tires screeching as he made a sharp U- turn.'Stop!' she ordered as they got to a very old building that looked abandoned.The Lyncan king was already bringing the car to a stop because he could smell them - his pups. They alighted and rushed into the building.Everywhere seemed to be in disarray. The stench of petrol was uncontrollable. Then they saw them their heads fallen to one side of their shoulders. They looked unconscious.As they rushed towards their children, they saw Camellia huddled at a corner, she was obviously uncon
