Pork, Samuel and the Lyncan king worked for a while, drawing up plans for the ongoing building projects and others.Hector looked up from the work and arched. He had totally forgotten about the passage of time. He looked at the time piece, a gold Rolex wrist watch on his wrist and emitted an expletive. It was ten minutes to school over and he had promised his son he was going to pick him up, and he didn't want to go back on his word. 'It's okay for now', he announced as he stood up. 'Got to run!'As he drove to the Blue Horn Academy', he though how happy his son would be when he told him that the woman he had chosen as his mother was actually his real mother.'Daddy!' not only Lionel but Landon and Leigh shouted as they sighted him. He got out of the car smiling. He was already growing use to these other two calling him Daddy. 'Anyways, since I am getting married to their mother, that will inevitably make me their father, at least by adoption or marriage', he thought in amusement.J
'If you do not shut your mouth, a fly might just make it's way inside, Alexa', He Tor said, sure now that Alexa had known all along. But why hadn't she said anything. She had even encouraged him to marry Camellia. Was that how much she loved her half sister or was she running from her responsibilities?Alexa didn't look to him like someone who would shelve her responsibilities nor shielded herself from them, so what was it? Was it that she didn't want him, because she wanted to be with someone else? That vampire for instance? Damn!'You knew, didn't you?' he asked but she looked at her children and he got her meaning. They were going to continue that particular conversation another time when it was going to be just them.'Daddy, it took you really long to find that out, something we knew right from the start!' Lionel said. 'You have revealed what you wanted to talk to us about, now it is our turn', he said, giving Landon the go ahead to proceed.Landon brought out an envelop from his
As he pulled up in his drive, his phone rang.He stopped the car and picked the call.'The doctor confessed that it was Camellia who bribed him to falsify the test result. He had refused the bribe but then she threatened him with his family and he had no option but to do as she had asked him!' Pork said on the other end of the line.'I thought as much!' Hector said. 'You must have been pretty persuasive for him to have confessed as fast as this!''I was, with my fists!' he said, and the Lyncan king could hear the smile of pride in his voice.'Whatever, you did well!' Hector said, ending the call. 'Lionel take your siblings in, your mother and I have things to discuss', he said. 'Landon, Leigh, I am happy to have you, You are a welcome member of this family and I am proud that I am the father of such wonderful pups, Lionel, you included!'The children beamed and they all hugged their father and Alexa could only look on, her heart filled with pain. If only it were as easy as all that.
Alexa was not surprised. If she could try to murder her on many occasions, wiping out the evidence of that night was child's play.'So, you now know the reason I wanted to see your navel', Hector continued. 'I just wanted to confirm what I already knew I would find', he said and Alexa nodded.'I never suspected you were the father of my pups', Alexa started. 'My father threatened to banish me after Camellia revealed to them that I had slept with a stranger. She didn't tell me it was the son of the Lyncan king and I tortured myself, wondering who you were. When I found myself pregnant, it was worse, not knowing who the father of my unborn baby was and father threatened to disown me', Alexa continued, recalling alot of things that happened in the past.'I ran away and was surprised when Camellia chose to come with me. Little did I know she wanted to steal my baby and present him to you as hers. She had planned all this with her evil mother!' she said, the fury rising in her.The Lyncan
'Wayne', Alexa said, when he answered his call. 'I have something to tell you!''What is it?' he answered. 'Is Landon okay? he asked. 'What able ut Leigh and Lionel? Hope there is no problem?'Alexa shut her eyes, why was life so cruel. She knew what she was going to tell him was going to hurt him but there was no other way to do it and she didn't want him to find out by himself.'It is not something I can tell you on the phone', she said. 'Can we have dinner tonight?''Of course', he answered without hesitation. 'Name the place it will bey treat'.Alexa named the restaurant she felt was kind of hidden from view but which was not too intimate. 'But it is my treat!' she said, and he could hear the smile in her voice. It calmed him somewhat and he replied with an answering smile in his house en voice., 'Okay!' Six pm , it is then'.They sat facing each other in the restaurant. Wayne's was expectant but seeing that Alexa was finding it difficult looking at him, he became anxious.He sta
'What do you mean? she asked.'It is a simple question, Alexa', he said. 'Be sincere with yourself. Do you love the Lyncan king?''I don't know how I feel about him but I am sure I don't love him!' she said.'What about me?' he asked. 'You said just now, you know how I feel. Do you love me?' he asked.'Wayne, the situation is complicated. I like all three of you. I cannot sincerely say I am indifferent to any of you, I am mated to all three for goodness sake but I have to make sacrifices, I am not thinking now about what I want, but how to make my pups happy. Their happiness is my top priority!' she said.'Says someone who will flee with her pups when the contract expires!' Wayne said. 'Will their happiness not be a priority then?''That's not fair!' Alexa said. 'You keep throwing my words back at me!' she said. ' Lionel asked us to get married and be a family, that is the birthday gift he requested. Landon and Leigh already blackmailed me into accepting to marry their Dad if they gav
Having had that episode with Wayne, Alexa felt she had to finish her training with Myles. She went there for what she hoped was for the last training.Afterwards, she sat down and Myles could see she had something in her mind. 'Alexa, spill it. You have been acting distracted all through the training', he observed. 'What is it?'She looked at him and recalled all he had sacrificed for her, including secluding himself in this place to wait for her, saving her numerous times. She didn't know how to say this but it had to be said.'I am getting married!' she blurted and Myles who had had an anxious look on his face while asking her what problem it was froze and then his face powered like he had been hit on the chest.'You can't be serious!' he whispered. 'Who is the lucky man?' he asked, pain lacing his voice.'The Lyncan king, Hector!' she answered, not looking him straight in the eye.'You prefer him to me?' he asked, very hurt. 'I have waited for you ally life. I have been here for y
As Alexa travelled back home to her pups and the Lyncan king, she could not help thinking how messed up and cruel life was.'It would be easier if any of these mates were cruel but they are all deserving of me and my pups. The person I doubt his qualification is even the person I seem to be ending up with! she missed. Hector, the Lyncan king was the least deserving of her and her pups. 'He got me pregnant and left without a word. I carried the babies without help or word from him!' she muttered to herself. 'I nearly died at childbirth and he was not there. What kind of a Lyncan king Hector s he if he could not smell that he had pups and that they were in danger and come to their rescue and their mum's?He was not there all through the six years they grew. He didn't partake in their upbringing and training till now and he is being handed the pups on a platter. What has he even done to deserve me or my pups, apart from being the donor of the sperm that fertilized my eggs? she thought u
