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
My King', Sam, Hector's Beta called. 'We have the information you required about Miss Palmer!''Good. Keep it on my desk! I shall look into it later'. he said. 'Book a flight for me for this afternoon, I have a meeting with those foreign investors. I may stay for about two days. So ensure you take Lionel to and from school punctually!'' You got that, my king!' Samuel replied, going to do as he had been ordered.Hector was day dreaming. A smile on his face. He recalled the discussion he had had with Alexa in his hideaway cottage. Lionel would really like a mother like her. A pity she did not have the qualities his father admired in a Luna. He recalled how she had been flustered when she realised he would be bringing Lionel to her house. What is she afraid of? he wondered but it didn't take long for him to find out because as he bent down to remove something from her dress, her eyes had grown wild with apprehension and she had pulled her head back, looking into his eyes. Had she though
The Lyncan king was still reminiscing about all that happened afterwards, his hands on his lips, fantasizing about the kiss he had given Alexa and finding himself grow hard with lust for her when his day dream was rudely interrupted by the peal of his phone.Damn! Why was he over reacting like a hormonal teenager?Still lost in thought, he picked the call without looking at the caller ID.'Son, I'd like to see you right away!' his father said.'Like right now?' Hector asked.'Yes, right now!' his father replied.'I am in the middle of something', Lyncan King Hector replied. 'Can this not wait till later?''No, it can't!''Then can you tell me what it is on the phone?' he asked his father.'This is not something that can be discussed on the phone', he said. 'Get your ass here right away!''You are forgetting that I am not a child you can order about anymore, Dad?' Hector said, getting angry at his father's tone.'As long as you are my son, I shall continue to see you as my baby boy and
Alexa hurried to her destination. Tomorrow she was going to go to work. She had to find out what that wizard knew of her and her mother.As she neared the place, a sense of peace enveloped her. She had always felt peace anytime she was here even when she was much younger and would come here to seek solace from the dislike she felt from her mother who she has recently found out was actually her step mother.'I knew you would be back!' the white haired wizard said as he opened the door before Alexa could knock and she wondered again how he could feel comfortable in a forest all alone.She entered and found that she was mistaken because he was not alone but had a beautiful maiden with him. Could they be married or engaged? she thought to herself in amusement The beautiful girl will definitely be a witch she surmised.'As you may have guessed', she said. 'I have come to find out more about my mother. We could not do much the last time I was here!' she observed.'Hmmm', Myles Prescott sai
'Excuse me!' Myles said as he went into an inner room to get something. Alexa was still in awe, happy that she had a mother who still thought to care for her even in absentia. 'I do not know what the heck you came in here for, but you better get it done and be gone from our lives!' a voice said and when Alexa who had been lost in thought turned round, she found it was Patricia and she was back in the room. 'Have we met before, Patricia?' Alexa asked politely. 'And if yes, did I offend you when we met? You seem to have a problem with me finding out about my roots!' 'You think I don't know the real reason you are here?' Patricia asked. 'You want to seduce Myles but I'll have you know that he is mine!' Alexa was shocked. 'Not again. First it was Valerie, now it is Patricia. Why do I keep coming across jealous girlfriends? she wondered. 'Patricia', Alexa said patiently. 'I assure you I am not here to snatch your boyfriend from you. This is the second time we are meeting and I came h
