The Legacy of the Alpha King: Sins of the Father Chapter 42 - Dead all along
Libby POV“Libby, your Father..he’s dead.”“What?” Why would she say such a thing.“You can’t feel it because your wolf is supressed, but he has been dead for some time.” Natascha takes a step closer to me as she checks over the top of the pharmacy aisle to check that it was still safe to speak. “Why are you saying this?” I seethe at her, what a lie to weave. “Because it’s the truth, Reuben and Evelyn killed him after killing my own Father.” I search her expression, her eyes for a hint of a lie but I can’t find any signal that what she is telling me isn’t true. But I refuse to believe her, I have never trusted her yet she was my only source for the tablets. I had no choice but to keep her in my life at arms length when I was hiding from everyone else. “No…” I can’t fathom what she is saying, it isn’t registering into my brain.“I’m sorry to be the one to tell you.” Her hand strokes at my forearm, her touch doing nothing to quell the anger rising within me. “How long? How long ago?

Pierce POV “What time are Libby and Evelyn due back?” I ask Reuben above the normal loudness of the kids. “Nate messaged to say he was back with them, shouldn’t be long.” “Uncle Pierce, higher!” Elspeth squeals at me. “Oh, sorry Elspeth darling.” The twins had made full use of me today, not only was I pushing Elspeth on the swing but I had also been a horse, a monster and my personal favourite, a pirate. Not long after, the Lunas had returned. Evelyn, now a ball full of energy for her lunch out and time away from the kids, ran into the garden wrapping the twins into her chest. The two of them complaining of being unable to breathe from her tightness. Whereas Libby seemed, quiet. She stood by the back doors, not entering the garden…her eyes on Reuben. In fact she kept trying to melt away in the background as we all re-entered the house together. Something was wrong. “Libby?” I call after her as she starts to climb the stairs. “I’m just going to put these away…” She rus
The Legacy of the Alpha King: Sins of the Father Chapter 44 - Something is clearly wrong.
Evelyn POVLibby has been quiet since we returned back from our day together. I had put it down to her not feeling well because she barely touches her food at dinner, and doesn’t contribute to the flow of conversation at all. Not even with the children. She only hugs them and places a kiss on their head when they go up to bed. Miss Smith taking Angel up to bathe him, whilst we finish talking amongst ourselves. Pierce was also quiet, his hands had been touching Libby in any kind of way during dinner and now again, as we have retired into the sitting room with after dinner coffees.“Libby, is everything okay?” I perch on the edge of my seat, as Reuben talks with Nate and Noah.“Why would anything be wrong?” She mutters under her breath, her mug of coffee in her hands, untouched.“I wondered if I had done something to upset you today…”“Today?” She can’t seem to look at me. “Whilst out. If I did it would have been unintentional.” All over dinner I had been thinking if I did something
The Legacy of the Alpha King: Sins of the Father Chapter 45 - Leaving
Libby POV I was alone, I was an orphan. Not only had my Mother died but now my Father…the culprit, the one that killed him standing before me acting as if he did nothing wrong. “I don’t know who you think you are but you aren’t God.” Her certainly acts as if he is. “No, but I am the King so you fucking better like it if you wish to remain here with my family.” His frame was trying to intimidate me, trying to make me submit but I managed to sneak a tablet in…my human side overpowers my wolf side once more. I can argue with him and not submit, I can be the one to tell him some truths. “I’m not staying anywhere near you.” I sarcastically laugh out. “Oh really? You think you can return back to the farm?” “No, I’m going to Pierce’s pack…I’m going to live with him. He may have kept the truth from me but in some kind of warped weirdness, I understand why he did it. He was trying to protect me from the heartache, whereas you were only trying to protect yourself.” I can’t loo
The Legacy of the Alpha King: Sins of the Father Chapter 46 - Short changed.
Three days later Libby POV Pack life was similar to farm life. You got up early, you tended to your lands and you kept an eye on one another. The only difference is I didn’t need to feed chickens at 5am and keep Anwir’s wandering hands away. If I wasn’t with Pierce, I did keep to myself more than I should. I was very much aware that this pack was expecting things of me, things that I wouldn’t be able to give them. Even at training, the spectator numbers were dwindling by the day as they realise the sister of the Alpha king perhaps wasn’t as well trained as they expected. The day after we arrived, I think all but a few arrived to watch me train. I didn’t quite expect such an audience, and then for that audience to dramatically reduce the following day. I imagine short changed is how they felt. Pierce remained patient with me, showing me ways to defend myself in human form. But let’s be honest, it would only be any good if I was up against humans…not werewolves.

Pierce POV As soon as we walk back into the Alpha house, my beta Dane was waiting to give me the usual morning report. You wouldn’t think he and I had just been training, he was already showered and changed for the day ahead. “Two seconds Dane, let us get changed and we will be back down.” “Actually Alpha, I wanted a word…in private.” His eyes give me that look before they dart to Libby, giving her a “nothing to worry about” reassuring smile. “Libby, I’ll be up shortly.” I turn to Libby, placing a kiss on her cheek. Her face cutely blushes as it usually does when I give her public displays of my affection towards her. I’ve been conscious not to be too forward, even though it is killing me not to hold her tightly to me and devour her. “Okay.” She looks between my beta and I, before making an escape up the stairs. As soon as I hear her bedroom door close, I lead Dane and I into my office. “What’s up?” I casually walk to my desk picking up my watch and car keys for later. “It

Libby POVAnother day, another little white pill.It’s taking much longer to swallow them. The guilt I feel increasing day by day, what am I going to do when I run out. When the bag is empty.Another day…that’s a problem for another day.My farm project was going well, I had sowed seeds and was waiting for a delivery so that I could get to work in building the chicken coop. I had been out here from the early hours, and found it easy to spend most of my day here. Pierce walked over to check on me before he headed to training, and then again when heading back from training. It was easy for me to lose sense of time out here, I expected to pack up to join Pierce for breakfast when before I know it, it is now lunch time. “Luna?” My attention falls upon a young male, not much older than me, walking into my direction. I bite on my tongue, bite down on the urge to correct him, that my name is Libby not Luna. But that is how things are done around here, and taking away my so called status
The Legacy of the Alpha King: Sins of the Father Chapter 49 - Night Operation
Pierce POV Security has been stepped up, I’ve put more guards on the night patrol shifts as a precautionary measure. Reuben has even offered to spare some, but for now, it is unnecessary. Whoever they are, they haven’t touched my borders yet, just sitting in the shadows…watching. But there’s no doubt in my mind why they are here, who they are here for. “Alpha, on the North East side.” Dane points to the CCTV screens as parameter alarms detect movement in the darkness. We were in my office, where we had remained for the last few hours. I send a warning through the pack link to my warriors, preparing them to be on high alert. “Who is patrolling that part of the grounds tonight? I question Dane as he pulls the night shift rota up on the computer screen. A list of names beside a list of border check points. . “Archie is heading up the watch in that area tonight.” Dane responds, as he loads another camera’s live feed onto the computer screen. You couldn’t see much, just rustling

Libby POV “Wine?” I offer out to Evelyn as we both tiptoe down the stairs, trying not to wake the children up who were too excited to sleep. It took some time, some very well manipulative head stroking on my part…but they were asleep. “I best not, I’ll be up there only in an hour to resettle Angel.” Evelyn sighs out. “I can do that, you should relax.” I’m determined to take no for an answer as we walk into the kitchen and I pull a cold bottle of sauvignon blanc out of the fridge. She watches me in silence, as I fetch two wine glasses and continue to pour the wine out. As I hand her a glass, a small smirk enters onto the corner of her lips.“What?” I ask out, thinking perhaps I did something wrong with the way I poured out the wine.“You seem different…”“Different?”“Good different…you seem like a luna.”“I wouldn’t go that far, but I am starting to feel settled here. Starting to feel at home.” I don’t think I’ve said that out loud yet, and as I do, it’s how I feel. “I’m pleased
The Legacy of the Alpha King: Sins of the Father Chapter 61 - A glass of whiskey.
Pierce POV “How is she…really?” Reuben asks as he sits down in my office. I have just poured us both a glass of whiskey, as Libby helps Evelyn send the children off to bed. “She’s doing…great.” Even as I say it, I don’t know if I quite believe it. It can’t be that easy can it. Anwir visiting her in her sleep and she miraculously wakes up the next morning a more positive version of herself. “I don’t think you even bought that lie.” Reuben grunts out as he slowly sips on his glass. “No, I didn’t. Anwir arrived one night. He did something, something that seems to be working. I don’t know what it was or what he did, but since then she’s been more open towards her wolf.” I shrug out trying not to let it annoy me that what he did has helped her, when I couldn’t. “Then what’s the problem?” “I guess I’m just waiting for the penny to drop, for her to go back to how she was. This just seems too good to be true.” “Did you ask Anwir to come here?” Reuben asks, his forehead fu

Libby POV I’m bouncing on the balls of my feet, nerves mixing with excitement as I watch the array of vehicles driving towards us just up ahead. They glide towards the alpha house like a slithering black snack…all the same, all in perfect collaboration with one another. Pierce refused to tell me who was coming, but there’s only one person I know that would travel like this, only one family. The alpha king and the royal family. My eyes can’t look anywhere else, the black cars consuming my full attention. As soon as the cars pull up, a door opens even before the driver has had the chance to open it, and a little foot pops out. Warmth enters into my chest and spreads across my entire body. “Auntie Libby!” Rex comes running up to me and I can’t help it…my feet are already running to close the gap between us as I fling him up in the air, and spin him in my arms. As soon as I place him down, his sister Elspeth does exactly the same, and so do it. I can’t believe they are here, th

Pierce POV “Pierce, Pierce!” Libby’s screams wake me, her cries sending a bolt of fear right through me. Were we under attack…why else would she be screaming. As soon as my eyes are open she’s flung herself on to the bed, and on top of me. Not only sending me into a blind panic but also kneeing my manhood. “I heard her.” She squeals out with excitement. The relief I feel with her tone of voice that we in fact aren’t under attack, doesn’t last long and turns into pain when I realise where exactly she landed. “You heard who?” I role onto my side trying to swallow down the nausea from the pain in my nuts. They were already swollen…now they will be even more so. “My wolf, in the kitchen…well not in the kitchen. In my head whilst I was in the kitchen.” I can’t see, the pain has blinded me. Oh goddess, will they ever feel normal again. “What were you doing in the kitchen?” I cough out. “Making breakfast in bed, for you.” Her words cause my coughing to stop and I take her in for th

Libby POV *Four weeks later. I’ve been training non-stop…non-stop. I have muscles, muscles that make me strong. Pierce had turned me into a weapon, and I love it. I’ve never felt so powerful in all my life, so in control. I was now taking part in pack training but only when Pierce was present. It wasn’t lost on me that Annabel was no where to be seen, even though Archie was now out of hospital and taking part in training as well. It was three weeks ago that he was already there at training on morning, standing with the warriors waiting for orders. His presence woke me from the little bubble I had been living in, where I could just pretend that he hadn’t been attacked because of me. My heart nearly jumped out of my chest when I saw him standing there. I wasn’t expecting him and did stop dead in my tracks, even try and back-step as guilt ate away at me. Pierce was there, standing behind me and with a gentle press against my back, I was walking directly to Archie. He refus

Libby POV “I feel like training today, maybe even shifting for the first time.” I say out loud as I reach for the glass of orange juice in front of me and take a sip. Unresponsive, my eyes glance up to Pierce who is frozen…his spoon of porridge floating just below his lips. “Are you okay?” I look at him with concern, he had been acting strange all morning. From the moment I woke up in fact. He’s been my shadow, watching me at every opportunity, even following me into the bathroom until I pushed him back out and locked the door. A shower….fine, I have no issues with him watching, but I wasn’t going to shower. “Are you sure you are feeling up to it?” “Yes, I feel great this morning. I must have really needed that good night sleep.” It’s the complete truth, I did feel great this morning. Like a new me, refreshed and eager to start the day. He places his spoon back down, his eyes blinking at speed as he looks at me in bewilderment. Am I missing something, he’s been in a strange mood
The Legacy of the Alpha King: Sins of the Father Chapter 56 - Unannounced guest
Pierce POVHe’s like something from an old thriller movie, sulking in the shadows preparing to attack his prey. If I didn’t know him I would instantly say he was a threat to my life...even now I’m not sure I can trust him. My wolf keen to not turn my back on him any time soon.His dark features are almost…unworldly. Like someone created in a different era, a different lifetime. Even as he tears off another piece of bread and dips it into milk…the way he holds himself is far too arrogant, far too confident…even for a werewolf. And that is saying something.“I don’t remember giving you permission to enter my home.” My wolf is forward with me, a bitter taste entering my mouth from his unnannoucned, unauthorized entry.“Or your pack for that matter, but here I am all the same.” He lazily responds as if he was doing me some kind of favour by being here. That it was out of his way to intrude in our house, intrude in our lives. Why was he here, did Reuben send him for some reason.“If Reu
The Legacy of the Alpha King: Sins of the Father Chapter 55 - Milk and Bread
Pierce POV Three days have passed since I forced Libby to go cold turkey. She hasn’t left the house yet, and neither have I. Beta Dane visits us regularly, giving me daily reports on the pack. I had discharged Annabel from the pack’s cells, but crimes against my luna would not be forgotten or forgiven. She was on thin ice, one wrong move and I will end her. My wolf’s hearing was glued to Libby’s heart rate at all times, any change and I knew I needed to take her mind off the cravings. Give her food, give her fluids, take her mind off what she is craving, what her body is actually needing. As Dane reads out the night time report, her finger excessively taps on the arm chair, her breathing quickening…both Dane and me notice it, both our eyes watch her carefully. She stands up, wrapping the long cardigan tightly around her as she moves towards the kitchen. I go to follow her until she reprimands me from out of sight, saying she was making herself some bread and milk. I need to le
The Legacy of the Alpha King: Sins of the Father Chapter 54 - Making that call
Pierce POV It’s a phone call I didn’t want to make. But I knew I had to, as both the alpha of the Grey Howl pack and also as Libby’s mate. Reuben has been searching for Natascha for months, unbeknown to him she has been using his own sister as a method to get to him. I wait until Libby is asleep, her recovery still a long path but one I will walk alongside her throughout. She would never have been ready, so I made that decision for her…helped to carry her heavy load. Rightly or wrongly, I took control. Sitting down at my desk, the moon shines brightly in the sky behind me…the pack grounds blanketed in a peaceful darkness as my pack members sleep. I reach for the phone, knowing as soon as I dial his number, all hell will break out. He won’t let this go unchallenged, he won’t stop searching for her. Natascha’s men may have attacked my borders last night, but if I make this call…I am unleashing a hell upon her, a hell she will not survive. A hell she deserves for daring to manip
