'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
Camellia did not have long to wait as the Lyncan king made his appearance soon and was happy Camellia was ready. He had thought she was going to make him wait while she got packed. At least she could obey instructions. As they drove home, Camellia thought where the best place was for her to carry out her plans and decided to go to a hotel. 'You said there was something you wanted to show me, something very important', Hector started. 'What can it be?' he asked, looking sideways at her. 'It is something special and for something that special, we have to go to somewhere special to see it', she said, looking straight ahead. Her heart was beating frantically. She hoped she doesn't make any mistakes. 'Special place?' he asked. like where exactly?' 'Can I trouble you to take me to a hotel?' she asked. 'A hotel!' Hector said, wondering what she was up to. 'Whatever for?' 'You shall see when we get there!' she said. 'Please. You have never taken me out on a date before. Now that you ar
Camellia walked up to Hector and collected the phone from him and placed it on the bed. He was still looking at her as though he couldn't take his eyes off her. She wrapped her arms round his neck and kissed his lips. He still did nothing. Why was he not responding? Circling his arms round me? she thought but refused to be discouraged. She had come this far and was not about to quit now! Thankfully there was a bed in the room, she unbuttoned his shirt and pushed him into the bed and climbed into bed, straddling him. He was still staring at her. She started bringing down the hand of her bra and that was when he sprung into action, stilling her hand. Finally! she thought. His touch sent a rush of desire pulsing through her. He placed her hands down by her side and pushed her into the bed and she felt like screaming with pleasure. He was going to be ruthless in his possession of her like she had always fantasized and she could not wait. The Lyncan king stood up, Camellia looked up wi
The Lyncan king swayed as he tried to get to the door, his vision becoming blurred and doubled. 'What did you put in my drink?' he asked. 'What are you talking about?' Camellia asked, going to hold him. 'You are dizzy, why don't you sit on the bed for a while, at least till you regain your strength?' she asked. Hector pushed her away and opened the door to her shock. He staggered to the living room and out the door to the hotel downstairs where he immediately got into the car already waiting for him. 'Drive!' he ordered Samuel, who needed no other prompting as he saw his boss in that condition. 'Boss, what's wrong with you?' Samuel asked. 'You look...' 'Drugged', Hector finished for him. 'I've been drugged by Camellia. She wanted me to sleep with her, when I refused, she drugged my drink. I need a drug to counter the effect!' Samuel drove to a pharmacy and got him the drug and a bottle of water. After swallowing the drug, Hector started to feel cooler and better. Earlier, when
Alexa could not get what happened out of her mind and decided to pay Myles a visit that weekend. She got her sitter to stay with her pups and she went off, her intention was to get back early. As she was about to leave, her phone rang. It was Dr. Arnold. 'Hello doctor!' she greeted. 'You didn't come to check up on Landon like you promised!' 'That is the reason I am calling', Dr. Arnold said. 'Something came up and I had to travel to the states', he explained. 'I wanted to call and inform you but it escaped my memory and his I'll health was not really a serious issue, so I thought, I'd visit when I got back! How is he feeling though?'he asked. 'Very well. He has not complained of any I'll health or weakness since then but he has been asking about you and that is pretty odd!' 'Children get attached to the doctors who treat them well and he must have heard you speaking good of me and that's why he seems to trust me. Trust is what makes pups like their doctors! Anyway, tell him I shal
After listening to his narrative, Alexa was touched. Why was fate playing games with them all and their emotions. Would it not have been easier for Myles to have fallen in love with Patricia who loved him unreservedly? 'I know that you didn't come here to listen to my tale', Myles continued. 'So, why exactly are you here? Not that I am complaining Ng of course. You can come here everyday if you want!' 'I want you to help me. Teach me how to master my powers, how to direct them and I'd like to know how to make spells and other things that witches do',she said. 'I want to be able to defend myself!' 'Do you know you are about the most powerful woman alive, you are a tribrid for goodness sake and synchronizing the powers of the three species that make up your whole self, is a rare gift. Infact, I pity anyone who dares cross you!' he said. 'Thank you, but I still want to know all these things, else how am I going to be a good witch?' 'You shall be a great witch', Myles said with confi
The Lyncan king Hector had met with some Alphas of packs about the signing of a treaty but the meeting was adjourned to a later date. On the way, the car developed a technical fault and all Samuel did to get it to start again was fruitless. Hector was already tired from the arguments at the meeting and stress due to the sleepless nights he'd had recently. He had not been sleeping properly, especially with his father troubling him to come visit him. 'I have a surprise waiting for you!' he said. He knew the surprise was nothing other than another she - wolf he wanted to mate him with and he was not interested. His father was never tired of match making. Hector was sure that if he hadn't already retired due to his accidental loss of power and given him the mantle of Lyncan king, his father would have blackmailed him into marrying the female of his choosing, like he had wanted to do with Challotte. He had not yet resolved the issue of his mates which he was still tackling with. Looking
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
