BLOOD MOON PACK

“Rose you can't do this to me…” Carlos begged, feeling helpless. The discussion he had avoided was finally happening.

For the past weeks, he'd noticed Rose's changes. Things she would usually not do, she started doing easily; missing his calls and not calling back, being too busy for him all of a sudden and sneaking away to take calls. He knew why she was acting this way, he knew it all but he'd decided to not bring it up. Because he was afraid of this very moment.

“I'm sorry Carlos– I wished I didn't have to make a choice,” Rose said.

“You don't have to! You only need to stay with me. Please, Rose…”

“I wanted to! I wanted to…but—”

As he tried to hold her, she dodged. “I'm sorry Carlos but I have chosen Kelly and I have rejected our bond. I hope you find your second chance mate.”

Casting him one last pitiful glance she hurried away leaving a helpless Carlos. As much as Carlos wanted to chase after her, go on his knees and beg her until she accepted him back, he hel

    “And voila! We have a schedule!” Rick released a satisfied moan. Derrick collected the card and had a look. He shrugged and handed it back to him. “What? Not to your taste?”asked Rick frowning. “It's alright. It's just for the public anyway. Send it across to my wife.”“Huh?!” Both Rick and Damian gasped at the same time. “What is it?” Derrick frowned at both their natural syncing and show of surprise. “You just called her your wife!” Rick and Damian bellowed at the same time again. Derrick tried to retrace his speech. Realizing he actually did call Lia his wife, he felt a sudden rush of heat to his ears. “I didn't,” he denied rising to his feet and ignoring Rick and Damian's lingering smirk. “You did!”“I didn't.”“You did.”“I didn't.”“You did–”“My Alpha, you have a guest,” a guard announced. “Oh, a guest? Great!” Derrick exclaimed. Grateful for the opportunity as he departed the room shutting his ears and eyes to his friends taunts and smirks. “I will take this to the br

    Lia prowled around her room. There was no way she was doing honeymoon with Derrick. What did he mean by not ever letting her free? If he thought he would ruin her chances of ever living like a normal person in the future by exposing her face to the public, then she wouldn't let him. “Clara?” She called out to her personal assistant. One of the other maids came and told her that Clara just left. “She left? to where?” Lia asked. “She didn't tell me but I suspected you sent her on an errand,” the maid said. Lia shrugged, “It's alright. I will find her myself.”She had wanted Clara to accompany her to Derrick's quarters. He couldn't just drop a bomb on her and disappear. At Derrick's quarters, she was easily allowed inside by the guards. She stopped in front of the study knowing Derrick was most likely to be there. She was about to knock but casually stopped. She inhaled deeply mentally rehearsing her lines—”I may be your bait but I am not about to let you walk all over me.” He

    “Which hotel is that?” Derrick asked as he stretched his arm for Damian to button around his wrist. “The best hotel to ever be built in Harrow Wood Pack,” Rick responded a bit cockily. “I made the choice,” he added, his grin widening. Damian scoffed. “I would have picked a better one.”“Is everything ready?” Derrick ignored the bickering two and asked. “Everything is…well, except your wife whom you will have to ride down there with.”Derrick breathed. Maybe he had gone overboard. Perhaps the honeymoon wasn't really necessary. “There's a bit of a problem,” Rick began slowly. “The women…erm they seem kind of erm…excited—”“What do you mean excited?” Derrick asked.Rick pointed him to the window in response. Derrick marched to the window and saw a group of women, some children and youth standing around. They were chanting. Some of them had a placard that read “Happy honeymoon king and Luna! Give us a pup!”He quickly shut the curtains and clenched back a grunt. “Is the car ready?”“

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    Honeymoon and Teases (II)

    LIA'S POV I was feeling hot. It was summer and mid noon and it was quite understandable. Despite the air conditioner and fans on, my inside felt hot and I craved for some water. I wanted to dip myself into a swimming pool and feel the coldness of the water. When I checked the hotel guest directory, I saw they had a swimming pool on the down floor. But stepping out of the suite and running into one of the reporters dreaded me. Not being able to bear it anymore, I grabbed a towel and headed for the pool. Luckily the pool was free from people and there were no reporters too. I then remembered Rick had mentioned booking out the entire hotel for just me and Derrick. I sighed in relief. I undressed and climbed in. Since I couldn't swim, I sat on the rail and dipped my leg in. When I finally got in, I made sure to not swim farther and into the deep areas. I heard a splash as if something had dropped into the water and screamed, terrified only for a figure to float out. “Derrick?” Derric

    Lia had already turned to return to the room when her legs stopped. Before one could say Jack she found herself beside the couch which he lay and watched him snoring quietly. Tempted to feel his beautifully knitted brows, she extended her hand but his hand grabbed it and in a blink of eye crashed onto his chest. His eye lid snapped open. “Where are you going?” he slurred smugly. Lia froze and her breath hitched. Was he awake the entire time? Did he know she was watching him? She gulped as her eyes wandered and fell on his mouth. His lips were barely an inch away and in the silence of the room she could feel the heaving of his chest. The telephone beeped and she used the opportunity to flinch away. Her face heated with embarrassment. Filled with a sense of awkwardness, she tried to amble towards the telephone stand. But he stopped her as he jumped to his feet. “I will get the phone,” he said and Lia swore she saw a smirk on his face as he strolled towards the telephone. She darted t

    LIA I was surprised to see Ethan come to the hotel to pick me up as opposed to Derrick that I was expecting. Hours after Derrick had left the hotel. It had only been a day we arrived but he'd asked Clara to park every single thing we came with including the ones that belonged to Derrick into the car. For all the ruse caused, it baffled me. Ethan's face didn't look bright either. He was usually a jolly fellow the few times we'd spoken. “Is something wrong?” I asked after several minutes of contemplation. He was driving us back to the Alpha’s house and had barely said any words ever since the smile that barely reached his eyes he gave me when he had rang the suite doorbell. He flashed me another of the ‘fake’ smiles. “No. If you are worried about the honeymoon getting cut short or canceled then you don't have to worry. Derrick– Alpha Derrick just has a lot to handle now and he wouldn't want you being alone in the hotel. Well, you can say Pack duties called and he got no choice but to

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    Why now

    LIA’S POV I had just snuck back in when I heard a knock on the door. For a moment, my mind jumped and I wondered if anyone had seen me. I took off the clothings I wore, stuffed them into my wardrobe and slipped into my night dress. “Enter,” I called out as I climbed into bed. Luckily it was only Clara. “The Alpha is here to see you,” Clara announced. My body stiffened. The thought that Derrick was right behind the door to see me after he had just captured my innocent father made my inside churned. How could I face him with the way I was feeling inside? And why would he even come to see me by this time of the night. My teeth grounded in my mouth. “Should I let him in?” Clara's voice jolted me back. “When did he begin to seek permission before coming in?” I hissed before I told Clara to let him in. I put on a robe over my night dress and started out of my room. He was already in the sitting room by the time I was out. His face was beaming. Beaming for the arrest of my innocent fa

    LIA The next day I set off to find evidence to prove my Dad's innocence. “I will be in my room. You don't need to check up on me until I call you.” I had told Clara before I snuck out. Derrick should never know I was out. Not until I proved Dad's innocence. And I couldn't trust Clara to keep shut. The girl behaved strangely sometimes. The first person I could have ran to was Beta Carlos. Unfortunately he was the one that betrayed my dad. Like father, like son. The Carlos' family would always be the same. The memory of Carlos Jnr with his mate at the prom flashed in my head. I hastily pushed it away. Carlos Jnr was a closed chapter in my life a long time ago. The only other man I knew could help me was Alpha Dante. Him and Dad were good friends despite leading different packs. Alpha Dante owned Red Moon Pack. His Pack was not far from Harrow Wood Pack. It didn't take me too long to arrive Red Moon. I located Alpha Dante’s house in a couple of minutes and flagged down a taxi. The

    “Lia kidnapped? How…when…how…she–” Carlos mumbled, his eyes dancing in shock. Doubting his ears, he rushed to the notice board and had a look. Confirming that Emily and Jimmy had not lied left him limp as he imagined who could have kidnapped Lia right in Derrick's house. “Where are you coming from? You still haven't answered us? You were with Lia and yet you didn't know she was kidnapped,” Jimmy accused. “Who could have kidnapped her? Did you not see or hear anything? If she was in the almighty lycan king's house, how could she have been kidnapped! Don't they have the best security there!”“The exact thing I'm thinking…” Carlos muttered sadly. He just couldn't make sense of the whole thing. Why would anyone kidnap Lia…“I left the king’s house this morning…Lia was…” he paused, not sure to bring up Lia's miscarriage. In the process, sudden thought came over him. What if Lia had been kidnapped somewhere else and not Derrick's house…Anyone that kidnapped her knew she was weak at that

    “Dante! Come out here, you bastard!” Alpha Blake roared in front of Alpha Dante's house. The number of guards mounted in front of the gate was too much for him to go through–as if Dante had suspected of his coming and prepared. “You will regret this! You will regret this!”“Get out of my way or go in there and bring that bastard out!” He snarled at Dante's men. “Who is creating this unrest in my premises?” Alpha Dante came out in his balcony and barked. “Unrest in your premises?” Blake retorted charging past his grabbers. As the men rushed to seize him again, Alpha Dante signalled for them to stay back. “Alpha Blake, why have you come to my house to create problems by this time of the day?”“Where is my daughter?! Where is my daughter!”“What are you talking about?” Alpha Dante frowned. His face registered a surprise of a first time hearing s news. Alpha Blake clenched. “Don't give me that pretense look. I know you kidnapped my daughter. Bring out my daughter now!”“I have no ide

    “What's going on?” Emily whispered to Jimmy referring to the crowd gathered in front of the notice board. Jimmy did a small dance as he dusted off his gloves. They were done for the day and he couldn't be more glad. Working in a pub wasn't an easy one. They'd only found out. “Probably another soon to happen protest or something about the king or his Luna. Whatever. We already have so much in our hands to worry about others.”“Are we still going to the death records center?” Emily asked. They had decided to set aside time to search for Lia despite their unavoidable busy schedule. “Why are you so bent on checking there. Lia is not dead,” she added trying to not sound as harsh as she already did. “Because we will still look there. It's better we look now and forget about it. And I really hope she is not there. Come on, we have like two other places to check today.”“Would that even help? If she died here, no one would care nor notice. Would they even let us see their death record?”

    Derrick fumed. What sort of prank was that? Who was the idiot that brought him out? He swore to cut off his throat if he caught him. The moment he got out of his car, he headed to the dungeon. He was going to set Clara free but would seriously warn her to never come close to Lai. He should watch him catch her sister's killers but it won't be at the expense of Lia's death. He had already gotten in front of the dungeon when he heard Rick and Damian yell his name. “Derrick, we have a problem. A serious problem. Lia has been kidnapped.”“What?” Derrick was frozen. “What do you mean she is kidnapped?”“She is nowhere to be found.”The first place his mind went. “Clara,” he gritted. “And Clara? Did any of you release her without my consent?” He scowled, advancing quickly towards the holding cell. “Clara is still in the holding cell. She is not the one,” Rick said, forcing him to stop. Derrick staggered back and in an instant dashed over to Lia's quarters. “Lia! Lia!” He called as he se

    Alpha Greg waved the guards to not bother leading him in as he trotted past them. He'd been here over a dozen times and knew his way with his eyes closed. He rapped lightly on the door and walked in. Alpha Dante seemed to be thinking but as soon as he walked in, he released a throaty cough. “You came quicker than usual.” His right brow arched up. Alpha Greg settled into his usual sitting position. “Am I the only one worried? Did you not hear? Blake visited the king yesterday as soon as he left here.”Alpha Dante did not look alarmed. Seeing him relaxed annoyed Alpha Greg who was not reluctant to say his mind. “You are so relaxed for a man who had plotted everything, Dante. If you are trying or even thinking of pinning everything on me, then this would not be funny.”“I have told you to relax, Greg! This is why your Pack members think you are a weakling and a scaredy-cat,” Alpha Dante said dismissively and hissed. Alpha Greg was ticked off. “Me? A weakling? Says who? Who said that!

    WRITER’S POV “You disgust me! You irritate me! My sister did not deserve a mate like you!” Clara slammed at Derrick. He'd come to visit her in the holding cell where he ordered her to be kept until he figured out what to do with her. He regarded her quietly. “Yes, kill me! You think I'm being unreasonable? You think I'm being wicked? Then imagine how my poor innocent sister must have felt dying unfairly! Imagine how she'd feel watching you move on so quickly from her death like it meant nothing!”“Why did you take up her name?”“What?” Clara scoffed. “Is that what is important now? The name I chose to bear?” “You are very different from her.”“Yes I'm very different. In fact, we are both very unalike. She was too soft and had the worst luck to be mated to someone like you. That is why she died such a stupid death. She should never have accepted to be your mate in the first place! She should never have gotten pregnant for a man like you…now look where she ended up.

    LIAI had gotten to my quarters. Left to ascend the few stairs before I got past the door when I felt something knot in my stomach forcing me to halt. “Are you alright, my Luna?” I heard the guard ask. I opened my mouth but only a groan came out. My head felt light and I needed support. Tried to find one but ended up staggering. The guard was quick to catch me. “Are you alright? My Luna?” I began to hear several echoes. My already heavy eyes couldn't remain open. I passed out. When I opened my eyes much later, I was in a room that smelt like herbs and meds. I tried to raise my hand but it was proving difficult. “My love, you are awake!” Derrick shot up. Ah. I sighed. He was the one making it difficult to move my hand. Like a scanner, his eyes examined all over my body as he ordered for the doctor and healer to be sent in. The healer, a woman, ran checks on my body. She pulled my lower and upper eyelids, felt my pulse and did the others I didn't know their significance. “What'

    LIA“Come with me to meet a guest,” Derrick nudged me. We were in bed in his chamber, my head on his chest and his arm over me. All we had done since we discovered we were mates, was make love, hang out, eat, go on dates. Derrick said he was in his dating me phase. And that he would like us to do another wedding after it. He said he wanted to start with me on a fresh note. Wanting a fresh start was right. Perhaps. First wedding, I was a fake bride arrested as an intruder, second wedding I was a substitute bride. But would we really be starting on a fresh note if we had another wedding? Everything I have said to discourage him from having another wedding only seemed to fuel his idea more. I had given up trying to change his mind. I knew I would not be there. He would cuddle me, snuggle so close and kiss me at every chance. He cooked for me too and damn he could cook. He was a fuvking hopeless romantic! I couldn't tell if he'd changed so much or if he was always like that? How did he

    “You desist from being my Beta henceforth,” Alpha Blake gritted. “Alpha Blake!” Beta Carlos slammed frustratedly. “You are taking away my title for what?” he questioned, scowling. “Because I can and because you do not deserve it.” Alpha Blake told him and spun set to match back into his house. “Your daughter!” Carlos yelled. That was enough to have Alpha Blake halting. “Does the lycan king know his wife is fake? That she is your daughter?” Carlos grinned sinisterly. Alpha Blake’s face tightened alongside his fists. “Are you threatening me?” he sneered. “You have been aware, haven't you? Did you tell you daughter to deceive the king?” Carlos mocked. “Let's not do what we'll regret, Alpha Blake. We are still very good friends. I confessed to the king of your crimes…”“What?” Blake sneered. “You still have learned nothing from hanging out with those two?” He shook his head and stormed away. Later, he visited Alpha Dante's house. Alpha Greg was there. As soon as the door was open
