Dr. Arnold visited that evening like he had promised and started checking Landon's vitals. 'Dr. Arnold, could you ask everyone to exit the room, please?' Landon whispered to him as he bent over him to check his heartbeat with his stethoscope. 'Please, I need to ask, Landon some personal questions', Dr. Arnold said, looking round the room at the faces looking at him expectantly. He his his curiosity well. Why did the young boy want to speak to him alone? 'Is that absolutely necessary?' Alexa asked, frowning in puzzlement. 'we are his family, are f there's anything the problem, then tell it to us all!' 'Mummy', Lionel said, looking sad, 'Let us respect the doctor's wishes. It won't take a moment and then Landon can tell us what they spoke about later if the good doctor decides not to!' Alexa wanted to protest but Leigh drew her out of the room. 'Be fast!' Lionel said to Landon. 'I shall make sure she does not eavesdrop but I don't know how long I can keep her away. Whatever you ar
Monday morning, Alexa got up early and prepared the children for school. The weekend had been awesome irrespective of that one time, Dr. Arnold had to be called in to check on Landon. It left a bitter - sweet taste in her mouth. She was infinitely glad she had the chance to have all three of her children under the same roof but this morning, she felt sad that he was going back to the home he knew. Hector or his driver will definitely pick him up after school and they all will go back to living the way they had previously. The children too felt somewhat sad. They were going to see in school but it wasn't the same thing. They knew Lionel wouldn't be coming home with them after school that day. 'Mum, will Lionel really be going back with father today after school?' Leigh asked. 'He has to. He is here just for the weekend and the weekend is already over!' Alexa said, trying to force a cheerfulness she didn't feel into her voice. 'Can't we speak to Dad to let him stay on?' Landon asked
The office was fairly quiet after then, everyone doing their jobs without making a fuss. Alexa went out at her usual hour to pick her pups when she felt footsteps behind her. Before she could turn around, a hand clasped over her nose with a handkerchief and she passed out. When she came to, she found herself bound to a bed. She looked around and the place did not look familiar at all. The bed was strange and then she recalled how she must have got here. This again? she thought. Last time, Wayne and He Tor had come to her rescue and she had been puzzled when they had said they smelled that she was in danger but she understood now. If she could get them through mind link, then they, especially, the Lyncan king would get here and rescue her. 'Why am I here?' she asked the two men who were looking at her menacingly. 'You wronged someone and the person wants us to teach you a lesson!' One of the men said. This was looking and sounding like last time but Valerie had been responsible f
When Alexa came to, she found herself in bed. At first, she thought it was the bed her abductors had bound her in but this was a different kind of bed. 'Where am I? she asked no one in particular as her eyes grew accustomed to the light. 'Thank goodness, you are awake!' Hector, the Lyncan king said.'You are in the hospital. 'It is YOU?' Alexa said surprised. 'How did I get here?' Then she recalled all that happened. 'And most importantly, how did you find out?' 'Didn't you want me to find out? he asked, shaking his head in disappointment. 'Camellia called, for your information. She was badly injured. How could you do such a thing to your own sister?' Hector asked, a disapproving look on his face. 'What are you talking about?' she asked, thinking, thank goodness Camellia did not die. 'You used your powers to cause a lot of harm to your own sister!' he said. 'I know that the both of you didn't see eye to eye in a lot of things but murder?' she shook his head in disbelief. 'If she
Seeing there was no talking her out of going home, Hector shrugged. 'It's none of my business if there's a relapse due to insufficient treatment', he said. As they walked towards the exit, a frail voice called out. 'Hector, is that you?' 'Come and see what you did to your own sister!' Hector said, dragging Alexa into the room where Camellia was lying on the bed. Alexa looked her half sister over and could not see much injury. Hector had clearly exaggerated it. 'Why is she here?' Camellia asked the Lyncan king. 'I'm glad, you are okay, Camellia', Alexa said. 'The way I heard it, I was expecting you to be covered up in bandages but you don't look like anything untoward happened to you!' 'Were you hoping to see me in a worse condition?' she asked, looking very pitiful. 'If you try what you did today, again, then your fate will be worse than that of those men!' she said and walked away. 'Hector, did you hear that?' Camellia said, drawing Hector back as he made to follow Alexa out
On the way to his house, Hector was fuming. How had he been cursed with such a mate? he thought. She had other Mates. And these Mates were not even werewolves, that would have been bearable but mates of other species, a vampire and a wizard, for goodness sake! Species, werewolves were estranged from. Who really are you, Alexa? And what kind of power did you use to kill those men? 'So, you have both a vampire and wizard mates in addition to me?' the Lyncan king asked, looking at Alexa, his right hand on the steering wheel while the left was stroking his jaw, thoughtfully. 'Hector, I cannot do this now!' she replied. 'I didn't mate myself to either you nor them. If you have a problem with that, I suggest you take it up with the Moon Goddess!' 'Is there any other mate I should know about?' he asked, looking at her as though she was a mystery. 'I have not found out any other one yet, but I promise when I do, you will be the first to know!' she snapped. Any other one in deed! she thoug
'Alexa, what is going on?' Wayne asked as soon as they got home and the children went into their room. 'What do you mean?' she asked stalking for time. She knew what he meant and wanted to explain everything to him but saying it in the presence of Myles... well maybe it was even better that way. So that she wouldn't have to do it again. 'You know exactly what I mean, Alexa', he said, looking at her with disapproval. 'You found your lost son and the father of your pups and you never thought it fit to let me know?' he asked and there was hurt in his voice. 'I thought I meant much more to you than this. Why am I even overthinking it, maybe it is not my right to know. Afterall, I was just good enough as a stand in father and no more!' His words hurt Alexa. 'What are you even saying? she asked. 'How can you think that of me?' 'What do you want me to think given all I found out today?' he asked. 'What are the both of you talking about?' Myles who had kept quiet since they got back aske
Camellia was not happy at the turn of events but thank goodness as she had smartly turned the circumstance to her advantage. Though, Hector was not being too demonstrative, he was at least being attentive. I have to make use of this opportunity to get intimate with him so that he won't have any choice but to marry me, she thought. She was going to be discharged that day and she was happy she was going home to put her plans into action. All of a sudden as she was stretching, she felt sick and rushed into the restroom where she poured her guts out into the closet. What is the meaning of this?' she thought. Did I catch a bug or something? That girl, Alexa must have infused something into my body when she used her powers that day, she decided. She went back to her bed in the hospital after washing up. Once the doctor came to check up on her. She decided to ask him about it. 'Doc. I threw up and I'm still feeling weak. Could this be a side effect of the drug you are giving me or have I
