'Lyncan King', Samuel said. 'Have you told Miss Palmer she is your mate?'Hector was jerked out of his reverie. He had been thinking about all that happened at the company that morning. He recalled how he had tried to bring the mob under control and when it was proving useless, he had started feeling his patience slipping untill an intoxicating scent assaulted his senses and he looked in the direction where the smell was emanating and saw her, walking majestically towards him. His mate,his Luna! He caught himself. Though he was now the acclaimed Lyncan King, he knew his father would not want him marrying an illegitimate daughter of a Beta when there were she wolves of royal blood who he could chose as mate to strengthen their blood line. But he could keep her as mistress and maybe get one or two pups from her. The thought brought a smile to his face.'I was hoping she would be able to tell but she evidently does not know yet', he confided in his Beta thoughtfully. 'Do you think there
'What are you doing cozying up to the Mr Hector Harrison?' Miss Reeds said. She had just come out of her office furious as she faced Alexa.Alexa had been discussing with Jenny and was surprised to see Elaina Reeds standing beside her. What now? she thought. Was Elaina never tired of picking on her?'Cozying up to who?' Alexa asked. 'You must be out of your mind!'She slept her way to the top, why will she not grace Mr. Harrison's bed too?' Pamela asked jeeringly She's such a slut!''Mind your tongue!' Alexa said, looking at Pamela fiercely.'Instead of coming to work early, you went about flirting with rich men's, Miss Reeds continued. 'if you are not ready to work here, then maybe you should just quit!''You'd like that, wouldn't you?' she asked. 'But you can't make me. You may try but you will not succeed!' 'Where are you getting this confidence from?' Elaina Reeds asked, her hands on her hips. 'You think because you sleep around with the boss, you can now speak to me anyhow?' she
'Camella', what is this?' Amelia asked her daughter, who was busy polishing her nails.'What is it now, mum?' she asked lazily.'Have you seen the news?' Amelia asked. 'Get you ass here at once!'The tone of her mother's voice caused her to rush to her side and stare at her mother's phone. She saw Alexa standing beside Hector. Her own He Tor and they were both smiling at each other like love sick teenagers. And the crowd was shouting both their names in adulation.'Alexa, that bitch!' Camellia said.'This is what you should be doing but here you are painting your nails!' she snapped at her daughter. 'You will be here and the Lyncan king will get married to her. You cannot even take care of a simple task!''I have tried to do away with that bitch but she escapes everytime!' Camellia said. 'You have not done it the right way. Change your strategies!' her mother said furiously. 'You are going to look on while the work we have done for the past five years - our hard - work will go to w
Alexa woke drenched in sweat. She had that nightmare again She'd been having this nightmare since she saw that doctor who helped her during her delivery. What could it mean? And why did she have to have it now? What triggered it this time? Was it her proximity with the Lyncan king? Or was it the information her father gave her about her half sister and step mother?'It was always the same. A man in lab coat, bending over her, a woman, holding a baby wrapped in a shawl, walking away hurriedly. She always tried to see the face of the woman but she couldn't but on two occasions now, she saw the face of a monster on the body of the woman and the monster was looking jeeringly at her, the strange thing was that the monster's jeering expression was frightening, yet familiar. Why was it so familiar?She got up and wiped the perspiration on her forehead. Thank goodness it was Saturday and she could afford to didn't have to hurry to take her pups to school and she because it was a weekend, wor
The sound of heels caused Alexa to lift her head from her computer where she was busy creating a design. She was shocked when she saw who it was.'Ah, if it isn't my whore of a sister!' Camellia said as soon as she saw Alexa.Everyone in the office raised their heads and looked at the direction the new person was staring.'Camellia, what are you doing here?' she asked, fully aware she had come to cause her some form of problems, her father's warning still ringing in her ears.'I don't need your permission to come and work here!' she said and looking round, she addressed the rest of the staff. 'I am the fiancee of Mr. Hector Harrison who this bitch has been cozying up to!'That brought on alot of comments from Alexa's detractors, headed by Elaina and Pamela.'She's the Lyncan king's fiancee?' Elaine said, 'Wonderful!' Then looking at Alexa gloatingly, thought, 'now, you have really got yourself into deep shit!''I said it. Now, nemesis has caught up with her!' Pamela said as Elaine bea
'Can you send one one to bring the footage so that we can check who the liar is?' Alexa asked, enjoying the uncomfortable look on their faces.Before Hector could do anything Mr. Potter came out and from a look from Hector, said, 'I shall go for the security footage myself, now!'The Lyncan king was also filled with admiration but did his best to look stern.'My King', Camellia said. 'I am not feeling too well and don't think I can withstand this crowd and noise anymore. Let her be. She is my sister afterall!' Then looking at Mr. Potter, you are the manager here, and you received me well just now. I don't want to put you through the stress of checking out anything. Let's forget about all this and forge ahead'. Then to Alexa, 'I forgive you sister. But try and let's work in peace and harmony from now henceforth for the good and progress of this establishment'. Feigning a faint, and being caught by Hector, 'Carry me away from here', she said and Alexa shook her head exasperatedly. How
Hector pushed her away. 'We might have a son together but I have to tell you the truth, I do not want you!' he said. 'I am sorry but that is the truth'''That was not the impression I had that night five years ago', she protested, coming close to him again.'You were drugged and I was not really in my senses as well, so how could you tell?' he asked'Who do you want then?' she asked, dodging his question. 'It cannot be Challotte, you couldn't condole her cheating and you have never seen her other than as a sister in any case', she said, looking shrewdly at him. 'You are not gay, else we would not have had that night. So it can only be that the rumors making the rounds that you and my half sister are an item is actually true!''What nonsense!' he said. 'I can see that you are no longer scared of me. You think you can speak to me anyhow and question my actions. I do not want you and neither do I want to marry you. Are you going to make me?''Hector, I am sorry if my assumptions have ant
Alexa was shocked. So he heard it all? Idiot! Of course he did. How else would he had known what she said? He must have been listening in on them for a long time and they had been blissfully unaware. 'I only said that because I wanted to provoke Camellia. She was accusing me falsely, implying that I was trying to seduce you, most probably because of the news showing the both of us present at the construction site!''So you did not mean it?' he asked, disbelievingly, ignoring the other things she said. 'You are not trying to take me from her?''Why would I?' she countered.Her question was a blow to his pride and got him angry and he wondered why the thought that she didn't want him annoyed him so much or the thought of her enjoying another man's company for that matter.'Is that the reason you invited me for dinner?' she asked indignantly. 'Thanks but no thanks, I'll pass!' She was walking out of the office obviously angry when he called her back.'Is it because of Wayne?' he asked
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
