Valerie saw the wild animal leap on one of her goons and was so shocked that the phone she had been videoing with fell from her hands. The wolf tore the man down and jumped on the other.Valerie wanted to run away but she thought she was not going to give up easily. Alexa had to pay for all the humiliating ways Wayne had been treating her, so she transformed, allowing her fangs to grow out and was about to attack the wolf when another body fell on her, pushing her to the ground just as the wolf turned to attack her.The third man, seeing all these was going to run away but the wolf grabbed him and dealt with him also.Alexa closed her eyes, there was blood everywhere. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the wolf had actually been Hector and the other person restraining Valerie was Wayne.'Hector, what are you doing here?' she whispered.Ignoring her, Hector went to Valerie. 'Jow dare you try to herm my...', he was going to say mate but stopped himself in time. sister- 'In -law?B
'Miss Palmer', it was Mr. Potter on the phone. 'Good morning!''Good morning, Mr. Potter', she replied. 'Why are you calling so early this Monday morning?''I just wanted to let you know that the management has decided that you should take two days off work!' he said.'But sir, I am okay', she said, wondering if it was a trick to lay her off work. 'What's the reason for the leave?''It came to our notice that you need rest', he answered. 'I advice that you take advantage of this two days because you shall be back at work Wednesday morning at the usual time!''Thank you very much for being so considerate!' she said.'Don't thank me, you should rather thank the Lyn...' but he suddenly stopped like someone had nudged him.'Who should I rather thank, sir?' she prompted. She wanted to show the person that she really appreciated their kind gesture.'Don't worry. I shall extend your thanks to the right quarters!' he said. 'Enjoy your leave!'Before Alexa could reply, the call ended.Now she
The Lyncan king Hector was restless. He knew that Wayne and Alexa were close. But he could not say for certain just how close. Were they close as close friends or very close as intimate, lovers? The thought caused him to ball his hands into a fist. What is the problem with me?' he thought. I can have any woman I want but here I am wanting someone who has not as much as shown the slightest interest in me.'I just don't want her coming to any harm', he told himself.'Right!' Flame, his wolf said. 'But Wayne is there to protect her. She is his mate too!''But I don't want him protecting Alexa. He can't protect her as well as I', he argued. 'I am the Lyncan king afterall'. Then he voiced the thought that had been troubling him. 'But how can the both of us be mated to her? And we are not even of the same kind!''I'm not sure!' Flame replied. 'I sense something strange but special about our mate. But I cannot seem to sense her wolf'.'Do you think she has no wolf?' Hector asked, thoughtful
Wayne was pacing in his study. He could not get any work done. Thoughts of Alexa kept permeating his thoughts. He kept wondering what could have happened if they had not got to her on time.Valerie! he thought viciously. Thank your stars that Alexa forgave you. Even then, I want to deal with you for my brother, his unborn child which you terminated and especially for Alexa. I am not as forgiving as she is. I have cut you too much slack. I am only letting you off this time because it is what she desires. If you make another Attempt on her like I am sure you will, because you are to vicious and stubborn, then I shall be waiting for you and I shall kill you before you even blink.Then he thought of Hector. What is happening? she thought for the nth time since they rescued Alexa together. How is it even possible? How can she be my mate and his at the same time? he thought.'It is strange that a vampire is mated to a werewolf but for the same werewolf to have another mate as well is incomp
After preparing the meal, Alexa did the laundry. She was supposed to have her rest today but she was too wired to lie still and the only way to keep her mind busy from thinking about the ordeal she just escaped from was with work.'I don't want to sleep either because I am afraid of having that same nightmare again!' she thought aloud. The nightmare was becoming s scarier. She didn't know why but she always felt apprehension anytime she saw the lady with the child, she grew agitated but she could not understand why and always before she could do anything, she woke. 'What is the meaning of this dream and who is the woman with the face of a monster taking that baby away? More importantly, who is the baby and what connection do I have with him or her? Yet, she knew instinctively that the baby was a he. 'How can I be so sure?' she wondered.By the time she was through with the laundry and scrubbing, she was tired. She had her bath and decided to relax with a book when her phone rang. I
The next day, Alexa was coming out of the school building after depositing her children in their class, when she nearly ran into Lionel being held by his driver.'Mother!' Lionel shouted, letting go of the hand he held and running to Alexa to hug her.'Oh, my baby!' she said, placing both hands on Lionel's back fondly. Then squatting, she ruffled his hair.'Hope you slept well?''I did, mum', he answered, 'but I look forward to sleeping in your bed after you sing lullabies to me or tell me bedtime stories! I miss you so much'.'I miss you too', she said and found that she actually meant it. 'but didn't we see yesterday?' she asked him teasingly. 'Okay, off you go to class. How are your parents, by the way? Hopefully I shall be able to meet with your Dad, this afternoon!'' she said, standing and wanting to say hi to the driver who brought Lionel but her eyes grew wide as they locked with the silvery grey of Hector'You?' Alexa said. 'What are you doing here? Was Hector tailing her like
They entered the cottage and Alexa say down in a couch, deep in thought. 'I'll get us drinks', Hector said, going to the kitchen where the freezer was kept.Lionel was the same age as Landon and Leigh. That meant that Camellia had met and mated with the Lyncan king, almost the same time as her drugged one night stand, Alexa thought. Then prayed Hector doesn't find out that she had children. Or had Lionel already told him?Hector was also deep in thought as he got the drinks. He recalled how close Lionel was with Alexa. He had never been so close to Camellia that way and Camellia herself had never been affectionate with Lionel the way Alexa seem to be. Affection and compassion seem to come naturally from her. He wished it was Alexa and not Camellia who was the mother of his son and not for the first time, he wished Alexa had been the one with him that night and not her sister. How did their fate become twisted this way?He came back into the Living room bearing the drinks.'What makes
'Lyncan king, senior', Drake, the Beta of Hector's Dad called, standing at a respectable distance from him. He still liked to refer to the retired Lyncan king by his title.'Speak!' he ordered.'We have the information you requested about Alexa Palmer!' he replied.'Hmm!' he mumbled , taking the file from the Beta and dismissing him. After he was gone, Harrison senior, smiled to himself. Now I have more ammunition to use toy advantage against tat gold - digging bitch! he thought with satisfaction as he opened the file and started to read.'What?' he exclaimed and Drake ran into the room. 'I'm sorry my king, but do you need me for anything? he asked.Hector's father was about to wave him off after looking up with irritation clearly written on his face but decided against it. 'Yes', he conceded. 'Are you sure if this information?''I dare not give you false information my King', Drake said.'Run your findings through me again!' he said still looking into the file. 'It is said here tha
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
