That evening, Wayne asked the question that had been bothering Alexa. 'Do you know who would want to do this to you?'Her secret identity could not have been revealed so soon, so who would want her dead so badly? She could not believe that as cruel as her step mother and half sister were, they were behind this. They could easily have just revealed her identity and that would have resolved the problem for them without hazzles.So, who?Wayne looked at her for a long time but kept quiet. He did not want to tell her what he had found out. He had considered it and didn't know what the right decision would be. Any choice he made, there were bound to be consequences.He recalled how he had bitten and torn the bodies of the men to pieces after they had confessed that it was Camellia Palmer who had sent them. How could Alexa's sister be this wicked? Why would she want her sister dead? What was she trying to hide? And he could not ask Alexa because she hadn't recovered all her memories yet.'I
'An invitation just arrived from the Alpha King', Camellia squealed with delight to her mother. 'The Alpha King is throwing a party to make an important announcement and I am sure it is going to be the announcement of my engagement and marriage to his son!' she danced about happily.'That foolish girl had been useful afterall. She got us the highest position we could ever have dreamt of!' Amelia said smiling with utmost satisfaction. 'You are going to be the Lyncan queen by virtue of your marriage to the prince who will soon become the Lyncan King!' They both smiled.'And the best part of it all is that we didn't have to do anything about it. Your step daughter did the work for us and we ate just to sit and enjoy the dividend of her hard work. What a pity, she won't even be alive to see it!' she made a funny face and the both of them burst into laughter.'Have you heard from the men you sent to kidnap and kill her?' Amelia asked her daughter.'No, but they come highly recommended', sh
There was tension in the body of a lot of people on this day most people had looked forward to. But the tension was for different reasons.Prince Hector was fidgety, though not noticably. He didn't want to marry either of the women being foisted on him. But duty calls and he had to obey. He didn't mind the breeder role and status given to Camellia. Though she had not really been taking an interest in his son, she was still his mother.Concerning Challotte, he would feel like he was mating with his own sister. What kind of marriage was he going to have with her? He hoped their long friendship will carry them through.Charlotte on her part was not really happy about the part of the deal where she'd be made to share her husband with a breeder but Hector had a son by the woman and since the Alpha King himself suggested it, she had to accept the terms. The most important thing was that it was she who was going to be the Luna. Then she would find ways to get rid of the damn breeder and mayb
Alexa was not the only person who saw Prince Hector looking at Alexa as though mesmerized. Camellia saw the look too and this enraged her further. Why could the goons not perform a simple task properly? she thought. She had not gone through the lengths she had gone through only to have Alexa ruin all her plans for her. But first things first. She had to see how today's events ended. Then she would deal with Alexa.Camellia saw the mesmerized look Hector was giving someone and followed his gaze. When she saw who Hector was staring at as though struck, she knew that Alexa was no ordinary woman and made a note to beware of her and thought, how many women will I have to contend with for Hector's affection?Wayne saw it and his body tensed. Why was that man staring at Alexa so intimate and why was Alexa looking so flushed and stealing glances at him? What was going on? Did Alexa know this handsome man? Wayne admitted grudgingly to himself that the Prince was indeed handsome and that did no
'Okay, everyone, I need your attention!' Lyncan King Spark said. 'It is time for the main reason for which this event is holding!'All the people who had gone outside with their drinks, came strolling back inside.'I have an important - no, two important announcement to make!' he said, obviously very happy.'The first is to announce to you that I am retiring and that the Lyncan Prince, my only son, is officially the Lyncan King, from today onwards with the presentation of this Lyncan mantle of our ancestors, used by the first Wolf king', he announced. 'Can Prince Hector step forward and accept this mantle of kingship?'Prince Hector stepped forward and stretching his hands accepted the wolf head carving, held by all generation of wolf kings. As he did, power flowed into his body and shook him but he stood firm, refusing to stagger from the force of the object. He raised it high and there was a thunderous round of applause and shouts of 'Congratulations', rented the air.Others, howle
Andrew did not understand what was going on. He was under the impression that apart from the announcement making Hector the next Lyncan King, the next was the official engagement of the Prince to his daughter. How come there was another candidate? What was the role of Camellia going to be then for giving the Prince an heir? 'Amelia, what is all this about?' he asked his wife 'Wasn't Camellia supposed to be the Prince's Luna?' 'After receiving the invite to this event, Camellia decided to visit the Prince' and personally thank him and see her son as well', Amelia explained. 'that was when she heard of the Lyncan King's plan to make Challotte the Luna and Camellia the Prince's breeder. Someone who didn't think Challotte was worthy of the title, 'Luna Queen', may have made the video available to expose her promiscuity!' It was starting to make sense to Andrew. Alexa who had come when Amelia was explaining all to her father, looked at her step mother in suspicion. 'That someone could n
Valerie Jones had not been happy when she got back from where she had gone to and was told, Wayne had escorted Alexa to some party of some sort.She had her bath, put on a flimsy transparent night gown and went into Wayne's room, switched off the light and lay in his bed, waiting for him. She was going to have him tonight, or she was not a woman!Soon she heard voices down the hall signifying their return. You finally brought him back home you bitch! she thought furiously. She had not expected them to return as late as they did. But now was not the time to get angry over that second - hand bitch who could not compare to her in any way, and ruin her mood. 'I need to be at my best tonight so that Wayne will keep coming for more and forget about 'her'!' she thought and it made her more cheerful.****Wayne had been anxious when he was finally able to disengage himself from Beta Andrew and found Alexa no where in sight. 'Where is Miss Palmer?' he asked his personal chauffeur.'I'm sorry,
Challotte Hills was not going to take the humiliation lying low. She called her goons.'Find out who is responsible for the leak of that damn video!' she instructed. The person was going to wish they had never been born when she was through dealing with them. But first, she had to speak with Hector. If I can somehow convince Hector to take me back, then his father shouldn't be a problem, she thought.'Hector', she said as soon as she entered the living room. 'I am sorry for embarrassing you tonight', she said walking up to him and wrapping her arms around his waist from behind and resting her head on his back.'Embarrassing me!' he scoffed. 'You mean humiliating yourself? What has that got to do with me?' he asked.'Right!' she agreed. 'It looked really bad but I am sorry. It will never happen again.Hector flung her hands away from his waist. 'You're damn right', he said, 'it will not happen again because I will not give you the opportunity to embarrass me nor my family again!''What
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
