LIA

“Did you leave the house?”

My hairs stood at the sudden voice behind me. I had just walked into my quarter. I turned. It was Derrick.

“Where are you coming from?” he asked again.

He was a king for hell sake and should be busy. Why was he on my case? Where was Clara? How did he let him in when I clearly forbade her from letting anyone in?

“I just stepped out for a bit,” I replied.

Like a scanner, his eyes scanned all over me.

“Where's Clara?” I asked just as he was about to throw me another question. He frowned and asked, “Who is Clara?”

It was my turn to frown. Did he not know who Clara was or was he trying to trick me.

“Where's my personal assistant?” this time I raised my voice high enough and hoped Clara would hear it. I needed to know how much Derrick knew to know how to place my lies.

Thankfully Clara came out from my bedroom. “Oh my Luna. Did you have a pleasant walk?”

I looked at her. She gave me an eye which I quickly denoted. I turned back to Derrick, p

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    DRUNKS

    As Derrick sat in the mini bar in his chamber, memories of that day flooded back. The very first day he’d met Lia. Who knew an intruder would be stirring him up this much, making him hunch in the bar drinking. Something he hadn't done in a long while. He'd kissed her a couple times more but none matched their first kiss. It was a kiss he gave his vigour because he wanted to impress his new bride that he did not love but was only marrying to satisfy his parents. Her boldness had taken him aback in the dungeon. When he suggested she be his bait, he never thought she'd agree to it. He was never going to harm her anyways and was only trying to scare her and find out what she knew. Then she said she was forced to put on the wedding dress. Strangely he believed her words even though he didn't voice it out. Laura may have loved and wanted him but his lack of affection towards her had pushed her to the cliff. He didn't blame her for making the decision she did. What about their second weddi

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    ABANDONED

    LIA BLAKEWith force I pushed open the door and stormed into my room. The moment I slumped onto my bed, all the emotions I thought I had held back broke free and tears streamed down my face. I clutched my face in my hands and wailed. I wailed like I hadn't done before. As my tears flowed, the memories of the day flooded into my head. A day supposed to be one of the best days in my life turned out to be a painful one for me. >Snatching myself up in the most pretty dresses I ever owned with a perfect make-over, the type I rarely do, I had dolled up myself for my school prom night. The last I would have as a high school kid. Yes, it shouldn't just be my last but my best as well, I had thought. I was totally over the moon and It wasn't just that I was attending my last school prom night but a part of it was that I would be attending it with my crush. I couldn't have been more excited. "Please have you seen Carlos?" "Have you seen Carlos? He is handsome and has

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    KIDNAPPED

    LIA BLAKE Phew! I drew in a quick breath. I was standing at the cliff of a mountain. The air was light and as it brushed against my skin, it caressed my pores and left me feeling refreshed. That moment, I got a chance to not feel miserable. How sad must my wolf have felt. We just thought…just maybe Carlos and I will ever get a chance to be together. I beat my chest and bit my lips suddenly feeling a surge of determination. Yes, it was just a crush. I have to be brave now. For myself and for my wolf and brush this lurking sadness off me. I gulped thickly as I felt my tears choke down my throat. Yes, this was the best thing I should do for myself. The thought of seeing Carlos gallivant the entire pack with his mate was just a lot for me to handle. Yes, call me jealous, but it hurts me everyday. Maybe someday the moon goddess will be kind enough to give me my own mate. If she is even kinder and listens to Jimmy's prayers, she would make him the best man in the whole wide world

    LIA BLAKE"What the hell have you done to me?" I muttered in disbelief. Gosh, what happened to Lia Blake that I used to know? The last time I came close to looking this snatched up was last summer at the school prom night. Of course it didn't end well for me.She walked to the wardrobe and pulled out a white long lacy and extremely pretty dress. Wait…isn't that a …a wedding dress. "A wedding dress?" My eyes widened. She extended it to me and said, "Put it on…erm but before then I would like to say something…" Now this is beginning to get scary. Who exactly is this woman before me…She hung the wedding dress in one of the hanger, ran her fingers on it as though she didn't want to leave it but for some reason had to."You know, I have always been excited for this moment…my wedding, the night I get to be fully joined in marriage to my mate and love of my life…well…life doesn't always go as planned…" her voice went low. I could feel the sadness in her tone. Who exactly is she and why d

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    THE BAIT

    Lia BlakeI heard a rustling and creaking sound in my sleep. I forced my eyes to shut even more. All through the night, the cold had gotten worse and the entire hairs on my body had stood erect as the cold hammered against my body. I was a bit thankful for the wedding dress. The long length had been of help. A typical example of a blessing and curse. The air got colder and the terrible stench of the dungeon got worse by the second. I couldn't catch a glimpse of sleep even though I had my eyes shut most of the time. I did more stopping myself from breathing than trying to sleep. But each time I squinted my eyes towards the prisoner, he always looked to be sound asleep curled up in one corner of the dungeon. I wondered how he could have offended the Lycan King to find himself here, how long he must have been here and how many more days, perhaps weeks or months he had to stay here. Poor him. Lia, worry more about yourself. The thought of being his prison mate had goosebumps crawling

    DERRICK KINGS"What is it, Damian? And why did you have to come here? You are stopping the guards from doing their duty." I frowned at Damian when we were away from the guards and the intruder lady. "Derrick, I know I shouldn't be doing this but think carefully about this…" Damian started, his playful grin gone from his face. "Think about what?""Her…you can't have her locked up, don't tell me you are doing this because of…"Because of what?" I snapped, feeling my anger surge. Knowing what exactly he was trying to bring up, I cut him off, not willing to reopen an old wound that moment. "She has a hand in the disappearance of Laura and must be held hostage until Laura is found." "Do you really believe she has a hand in Laura's disappearance?" Damian asked me. I looked at him, confused. "What the heck are you trying to say?" I clenched. "Relax man, relax. I just asked. But if you will let me speak to you right now as your Beta and not your friend, I will advise you to deal with th

    LIA BLAKE"Wear this!" An older woman flimsily threw some cloth at me. Unable to catch it, the cloth dropped to the ground. She was putting on a servant's clothing and I knew at once she must be one of the elderly servants. "And you are not allowed to be clumsy here! Get your tiny self into them and get your arse down for some work! You stink!" She added, shot me a disgusting look before she walked out of the room slamming the door behind her shot. I stared down at myself, at the once extremely pretty wedding dress I wore that had now turned into a complete mess and stinking badly from the stench of the dungeon. Anyone would hardly believe it. I sighed tiredly and sank into the nearby seat. Well, it was actually the only seat in the somewhat large room. "You will be my wife…" the words of the Lycan King echoed in my head. Such good meaning words said with so much venom and cruelty. Cold shivers creeped my flesh and I shuddered. To any she-wolf, those words were pleasing to hear

    LIA BLAKE"Don't worry, you will get used to it." Ma'am Lucy said as though she read my thoughts. There were some guards guarding the frontage of the different axis of the exquisite buildings. "He really is the king…" I murmured in awe gaping around the place. My father's house, despite how I usually saw it as one of the finest houses in my pack, was like nothing compared to this beauty. "Excuse me, we are here to see the king…He is aware of our coming." I heard Ma'am Lucy ask one of the men on duty. I didn't hear the guard speak but Ma'am Lucy was soon calling out to me. "Come along girl! The King is waiting.""Yes ma'am," I mumbled still partly in awe as I took quick long strides to catch up with her. She pushed open the entrance door and we let ourselves in. The dead silence of the room struck me the moment we stepped in. A series of portraits and pictures of people I guessed to be legends or perhaps had an impact on the pack hung on the wall. "This is the throne room, not

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    CRUSH

    LIA “Carlos…” I mumbled, “what are you doing here?”“Lia…” he tried to touch me but I flinched back. “Why are you here?” I asked again, unable to stop my voice from trembling. It was only months ago but it felt like a year had gone past already. The guy that was the beginning of my problems was standing before me and my mouth could not find words. My legs were feeling too heavy to keep standing and a bulge had lodged comfortably in my throat. “Were you following me? Where did you start to follow me and why are you in this Pack?” Like I was supposed to ask the last question knowing it was going both ways. “Lia.” He called. His voice was hoarse and his eyes filled with something I preferred to think was guilt. Carlos Jnr still looked very much the same. His handsome features were still very much intact but he looked leaner than the last time I saw him. To think his father just betrayed my dad… my teeth clenched. “Lia, I—”“Stop! If you are going to start speaking rubbish about how y

    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

  • 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

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    TREASON

    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

    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

  • 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

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    Honeymoon and teases

    “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?”“
