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
Alexa was still considering this when it occured to her that with Lilly, she now had her magical powers and needed Myles to put her through. But another thing was also bothering her. She was also a werewolf, why hadn't she got her wolf? she said as much to Myles. 'Give it time. You shall get your wolf. Even if you are a late bloomer, it is time you got it except of course you don't have a wolf!' 'The Goddess forbid it!' Alexa said fervently. 'With your witch and the powers that come with your heritage, you don't really need a wolf!' Myles said, trying to calm Alexa. 'That might be true but I still would like to... ahhhh...', she said as she felt another sharp pain like a bolt of lightening pierce her being. 'Hello, Alexa, I am Venny, your demon!' another voice said in her head. 'My what?' Alexa shouted, horrified. 'Lilly, no more jokes, please!' 'I am not the one speaking. There's another force inside of you!' Lilly replied. 'Al..right, Vennie or whatever you are. What do you
'I am not fully equipped right now to answer that but I am pretty sure we shall meet him soon!' Lexy answered, thoughtfully. 'Do you think he is the father of my pups? Alexa asked. 'I'm not sure but I feel almost sure that our mate is the father of your pups!' 'Then, there's a problem if he is because even I don't know him and I doubt I have met him since that night when he made me pregnant!' 'Oh, don't worry!' Lexy said. 'I'll help you locate him whether our mate is the father of your pups or not. I shall recognize him when I see him and you will know him too now that we are together!' Alexa nodded, sure that the father of her pups must be some kind of drunken fool or an Omega who had relocated to another pack and who may already be married.In any case, Lexy will help me locate the father of my babies and our mate though the mate part is the least of my problems, she thought. I'm not sure I want to know who my werewolf mate really is! 'I'll just have to oblige Lilly or Vennie a
Alexa was lost in thought as she hurried to pick her children from school. Myles is so cool and considerate and would make a good mate like Lilly said but what about my pups? Will they accept him as their father? More importantly, will he take them as his own? The only way to find out is getting them to meet each other! Alexa's thoughts were running riot. But the problem was Patricia's feelings for Myles. Though Myles claims he does not return Patricia's feelings, I should give them some time to sort it out between them. And Wayne? He would be my first choice. He saved me when no one else would have. He cared for me a d the pups when he didn't even know us. Landon and Leigh are already used to him and would be happy to make him their Dad. In fact, they would have long ago had I encouraged them. Maybe this is the time to encourage them, since the misunderstanding between him and Valerie has been sorted out! Alexa was still deep in thought when she saw someone she thought she recogniz
Dr. Arnold went back in to see Alexa. This was because of the conversation he had with the operating doctor as soon as Samuel left. 'May I go and see her?' he asked. 'Her condition is critical and I would not advise any visits now but since you are a doctor and from your ID starts that your specialization is surgery, I'll make an exception. Go in and see how she is. I am open to any suggestions you may have!' As he sat beside her on the bed, he held her hand and started speaking to her as though she was conscious. 'Alexa', he started. 'though I met you for the second time some weeks ago, I feel like I've known you for ages. You are a good person. but you have enemies and have to be careful!' he sighed. 'you should fight this. I know you can. Wake from this comma. Your children need you. Who will take care of them when you are gone?' Dr. Arnold prayed that he was right and that the two children had survived because if they hadn't then reminding her of it on this state she was in m
Myles went back into his house and saw Patricia sitting in the only armchair in the room. He sat on a bench and faced her. 'Myles...' 'Patricia..' They both started simultaneously. Then they laughed, the tension breaking. 'You first!' Patricia said. 'Ladies first! Myles protested. 'And this lady has already conceded the initiative to you!' she insisted, smiling. ''Patricia, you are my best friend. We grew up together and I have always confided in you', Myles started, trying to choose his words carefully also as not to hurt her. 'I have also confided in you that I have a mate and she is the main reason I have taken up residence in this place and that once she acknowledges me, I shall go away from here with her', he said, pausing to drag in air. 'Well that mate has come and she is Alexa. I hope you can accept her like you accepted me and the both of you can be friends because both of you are two of the three most important women in my life!' Patricia who was listening attentivel
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
