Alexa was growing restless again and this time, she decided to go see the silver haired man. She wanted to know anything he could tell her about her mother. After her discussion with her father, she had felt a kind of strong bond with her mother and had wanted to know more.She got up and prepared her children for school. Wayne had helped her get them into a very good school, The Blue Breed School. It was very expensive but Wayne had insisted.'Very well, then', she conceded. 'I shall pay for it. The money I get from my business abroad can conveniently take care of that!''You shall do no such thing', Wayne said. 'What do you take me for? You are my guest... my most honoured first and you want to pay the fees of the children I consider mine? I have raised them from the very first minute they came into the world. You shall offend me greatly of you stop me from doing this for them!' he said unhappily.'You have done so much as it is!' she said, imploringly. 'I cannot continue to burden
'Valerie, what is the meaning of this?' Alexa asked, turning to look at her, and straightening up from her squatting position.'What do you mean?' Valerie asked, still having the smug smile on her face.'You know damn well what I mean, Valerie', she said, her tone rising. 'How can you come here and take Landon away without letting the school authorities know and most of all without my permission?''Were you scared?' she asked, leeringly.Alexa was beginning to lose her cool. 'I am not joking here!' she snapped.'Does it look like I am joking?' Valerie asked, eyes blazing. 'Keep away from Wayne, you do not know what I am capable of!''What are you talking about?' Alexa asked.'And she feigns ignorance!' Valerie said impatiently. 'You are really shameless. You already have two children from a previous relationship and instead of you seeing how you can reconcile with the father of your pups, you are trying to climb your way up by stealing my fiance and you claim you do not know what I am
Alexa looked up to find Wayne standing before them. She recalled Valerie's threat and forgot about everything else. She had to get away from Wayne before Valerie saw them together. She could not risk the life of her children for anyone no matter how good they had been to her 'Wayne, why are you here?' she asked, walking away from him.'Alexa, what's the problem?' Wayne asked. 'And who is this man with you?''Dr. Arnold', she said hastily. 'Doc, I'll see you some other time!' Then she quickly climbed into Wayne's car and shut the door. Wayne followed at a slower pace wondering what the problem was. Why was Alexa a ting so strange?The drive home was long with both of them quiet. Alexa kept her face buried in her phone while Wayne kept stealing glances at her. He wanted to ask her why she was acting as though she was angry with him but her demeanor showed she was not ready to speak to him.'She will reveal what is irking her when she is ready', he consoled himself but it did little to
Alexa did not know what made her go to this particular designing company but she did and after looking through her sketches, 'These are good', the personnel manager said, nodding approvingly. 'but I don't have the final say. Keep your fingers crossed. If the chief designer likes your designs, you shall be invited for an interview'.'Thank you very much, sir', Alexa said, gratefully. 'I shall look forward to the interview'.The manager smiled. 'Please call in the next applicant on your way out!' he said, looking into the resume of the next person.As Alexa left, Prince Hector happened to come out of an inner office and was shocked to see her leaving. He stopped in his tracks. He didn't know why but he just didn't want her to see him. What is SHE doing here?' he thought and at the same time felt excited at seeing her in his company.He watched her leave and entered the personnel Manager's office just as the next applicant was going in.'King Hector', he greeted, waving the applicant a
'We worked hard to get this post. How can someone as inexperience as this get here so fast?' one female colleague said at the office, the next day as Alexa reported for duty and was introduced to the rest of the staff by Mr. Potter. 'But you should know how she got here', another chimed in. 'She must have bribed the boss with her body. How else could a newbie like her acquire such a position of top designer without starting out first as an apprentice designer like we all did!' Her comment made them all laugh. 'If you are going to be in this section for top designers', one of them who was referred to as Miss Elaina Reeds started, 'then you should be ready to work!' Then throwing a heap of files on her desk, she continued, 'Make sure you finish this before close of work today!' Alexa had decided not to rise to their bait by responding to their taunts about her morality but all this work? How was she going to have the time to go pick her children up from school and take them home for
Hector could feel the mate bond pulling him to this strange woman. He wanted to kiss her so badly that he forgot where they were.Alexa must have read the expression in his eyes correctly because she pushed herself upright, away from his arms.'Thanks, King Hector', she said, brushing down her cloth. 'It's my fault. I was rushing out and didn't see you coming in!' What the hell was he doing here? she thought distractedly. She did not want it to be that he came here often. She didn't want any distractions.'I came to see a friend', Hector replied, trying to get himself back under control, as he put both hands into his trousers pockets. 'Hope you don't mind that?' He was not sure why but he didn't want her to know yet that he owned the company.'It is none of my business Sir, who you come to see here', she said, a bit flustered because of the spark of desire she had seen in his eyes and the tiny answering spark she had felt when their bodies came in contact. 'Please excuse me', she said
As Alexa walked home from the office that day, she was feeling exhausted but he kept recalling the boy Lionel. She had been dropping and picking her children to and fro school but had not really come face to face to her son's new friend Lionel but the day she did, she had felt strange. It was as though they shared a connection of some sort. And to further get her flustered, the boy had called her 'mother!' running to her and hugging her. She recalled how shocked she had been but had smiled and looked into the boy's eyes. 'What's your name, little boy?' she asked.'I am Lionel. I am Landon's friend', he said, smiling happily at Alexa. 'You arey mum, aren't you?' he asked confidently.Alexa hated to hurt him but she could not lie to him.'Son, er.. Lionel', she started, trying to choose her words carefully. 'I am not your mother. Your mother must be at home. Do you know it will hurt her to hear you address someone else as your mother?''But she is not my mother', he wailed. 'She does
Lyncan King Hector Spark Harrison could not understand why he was so bothered about the recent behaviour of his son - his insistence that Camellia was not his mother but a strange unknown mother of two who he had never met before starting school. He contemplated taking his son away from that school and putting him in another school but such a sudden change could affect Lionel adversely like the doctor whose advise he had fought had said, and he did not want that for his son at all. But this madness of his, this attachment to this mysterious Lady A must be broken. He would have asked his men to find out all they could about this Lady A, the mother of Landon and Leigh but decided to handle it himself. He was going to go early to the school and speak to the headmistress. The next line of action will be dependent on his findings. Maybe to invite the Lady A to dinner with him and Camellia and their son of course so that the issue of Lionel's maternity will be resolved once for all. It w
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
