'Mr. Harrison, your proposition to use that land for a tourist centre cum honeymoon hotel is an ideal project but we need to know how it is going to benefit is', Mr. Mac Johnson asked, looking at Hector. 'How is this project different from other projects? 'You are right, Mr. Mac Johnson's, Another investor said. 'Why should we invest our money and time into it, what profit margin are we expecting?' 'This project is like none other', the Lyncan king started. ' there are hotels all over the place but this one is specifically for lovers and they come in different shades, honeymooners, lovers who want a secret place to express their love, business men who want to relief tension away from home', he answered, his face very serious. 'Are you an advocate of infidelity then?' another asked. 'because the hotel seemed to be aimed at encouraging infidelity. Does that not negate the idea of the honeymooners hideout?' 'Men are monogamous in nature and it has been like that right from existence
Alexa opened her eyes and the first person she saw was Wayne. 'Where am I?' she asked, looking around. Then her eyes fell on Dr. Arnold. 'You!' she said. 'I remember now!' 'Alexa, thank goodness, you are back!' Wayne said, 'Doctor!' he called. The doctor came and checked on Alexa. 'Do you feel pain anywhere? On your head?' 'No!' she replied. The doctor pressed down the skin below her eye to better look into them. 'You can see things clearly, I assume?' he asked. 'Yes!' 'And you can remember everything?' he asked just to be sure. 'What's your name?' 'Alexa Palmer!' 'How old are you?' the doctor persisted. 'Doctor, this is ridiculous!' she said, looking at him in exasperation. 'I am fine now and in fact, I feel very strong. Stronger than ever before!' she said, stretching. Wayne was surprised. He knew his blood, the blood he fed her had the power of rejuvenation but it had been pretty fast and she showed no sign of weakness. Alexa must be a very strong werewolf, he thought
'If you had been caught, you might have been sent to prison for that. You might have been charged with kidnapping!' Alexa said. 'I believe he saved you by keeping you away from the police because the police might have advertised that the relatives of the abandoned family come forward and your sister would have known you were still alive and that you had other children!' Dr. Arnold said shrewdly. Alexa nodded. Wayne nodded, 'At that time, I didn't think of all that. I just felt a great urge to take them away before they were found by the police! 'You couldn't have thought that. You didn't know my sister did all that!' Alexa said, looking at him with new gratitude and admiration. 'But I understand my driving force now. It was because we were mates and akin as well. Your blood was moving me to save you and those cute pups!' 'So, what became of my son?' Alexa asked, feeling a sense of urgency to confront Camellia. 'I don't know. She carried him away and we never saw since then, tho
The next day, Wayne brought the children to see Alexa in the hospital. With food and a change of clothes and some toiletries. She was feeling stronger and sitting on the hospital bed. In fact, the doctor had conducted a check up on her during his early morning rounds and declared her free to go home. She had self healed herself of the fatigue and headache she felt after her three self argued her to death the previous night. 'Mummy are you okay?' Landon asked as he and his sister rushed to hug their mother. 'I am fine, honey', she replied ruffling his hair and smoothening back Leigh's hair. 'I missed you both!' she said and thought, I miss you, my first son, too. I miss you so much, may the Moon Goddess protect you wherever you are. 'We missed you too, mummy', Leigh said. one tooth had fallen off the previous day when she was preparing them for school, so her speech sounded so child - like and endearing and Alexa hugged her even closer. She had nearly died, leaving these wonderful
'Yes, Alexa', the Lyncan king said, smiling. 'I am your mate!' 'How is it even possible?' she asked. 'You are engaged to my sister!' 'That does not stop us being mates, you know!' he said. 'You'll have to take that up with the Moon Goddess, I guess!' 'You have known all this while?' she asked. 'Of course, I have and I wondered why you didn't until I realised the problem was because you didn't have your wolf!' he said, still smiling at her. 'Do you think I can sit down? You have not thought to offer me one!' Alexa hastily waved him to a chair. 'Please be seated', she said. 'So, how are you feeling now? he asked. 'I was really bothered when I learnt of your accident!' 'I heard, you aided my recovery in some way!' she said, not sounding too happy about that. 'You don't sound too happy about that!' Hector said, looking at her with an amused glint in his eyes. 'You're welcome!' Alexa smiled. 'I'm sorry if it sounds like I am ungrateful!' 'Aren't you?' he asked. 'I am grateful. J
'Look who has decided to show up at the office today!' Camellia said as soon as Alexa came in through the door. 'She resumes work and leaves the office as though she owns it!' Elaine scoffed. Alexa kept quiet. She was not going to allow Camellia get to her today, not after what she had remembered. She just walked straight to her chair and sat down, drawing out her computer and put it on. 'Dod the men you consorted with the other day break your waist?' Panella asked scornfully. 'I heard there were - how many of them now?' she pretended to try to remember. 'Ah, three! And one of them your own sister's fiancee. How slutty can you be?' The others in the office burst into laughter except for Jenny. 'Alexa has been ill and the way you welcome her back into the office is by taking jabs at her?' she asked indignant. She was the quiet type and rarely responded to slights but she just could not stand by and watch these people bullying her friend. ' Some colleagues you are!' 'If you don't s
Hardly had Alexa sat down when Mr. Potter came out. 'Miss Palmer?' he called. 'Yes, Mr. Potter?' Alexa answered, trying to get herself back in control. 'See me in my office right now!' he ordered. 'I don't know why some people don't seem to learn their lesson. Now she will have to be disciplined for speaking presumptuously to the Lyncan king's fiancee!' Pamela said and Elaine scoffed as Alexa stood and walked towards Mr. Potter's door. Camellia was still fuming but really scared. Was Alexa bluffing? Has she really convinced those goons to testify against her? What about that night, So maybe she doesn't have evidence of her involvement but what if she finds out who the man is and about her son? Then she would be as good as dead. She paid no attention to Alexa or the reason Mr. Potter called her to the office, it was not relevant. She had much more important things in her mind as it is. 'Camellia, you are really too much', Elaine said. 'You didn't even have to report Alexa to Mr.
'You are his boss?' Camellia said, pointing towards the door in the direction the messenger had taken and at the same time, trying to regain her composure. 'Yes,I am and I finally found you!' Challotte said. 'What do you want with me?' she asked. 'You can even ask that?' Challotte said, eyes staring hard at Camellia. ' You set me up and you ask what I want with you?' 'Set you up?' Camellia asked, heart racing. No, no, has Challotte found out the role she played in ruining her relationship with Hector? 'What do you mean?' 'Don't play dumb nor insult my intelligence. I don't have the patience for it!' Challotte snapped. 'I could have captured, kidnapped you,taken you to an isolated building and killed you but I chose to be a bit civil', she explained smiling maliciously. 'You provided that video that ruined my relationship with Hector. You are the reason he cannot even be friends with me anymore let alone marry me and I am going to make you pay for it!' 'I didn't do anything. Hect
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
