Christopher's POVI was still reminiscing about that time two years previously when a witch named Wendy had saved my life when I suddenly started having weird vibes. Zara, my wolf became restless and distressed. I tried to ignore him thinking that his distress was as a result of frustration born out of interrupted coitus with our mate. I did not blame him because my body was still protesting about the same thing. But Zara kept nudging me and I felt very anxious all of a sudden and then a premonition of danger fell on me and I started running towards the mansion - to Millicent. I had to know if she was okay.As I got to the door of her room, what I heard chilled me to the bones.'You are an itch that has to be scratched and since you are not going to admit to your desire for me nor submit your body to me willingly, then I'll take it by force. I am the Alpha and can do anything I please!' That was Sylvester's voice and I need not wonder who he was talking to.I pushed the door open and
'Oh, Christopher', she wailed, looking at me imploringly. 'I have betrayed you!''Betrayed me?' I asked, wondering what she was talking about. What did she mean by having betrayed me? Had I not judged the scene I witnessed, accurately? I tried playing back the scene in my mind as I held her tightly, awaiting more explanations from her.'Can you forgive me?' she asked and I was sure she was going to tell me she had decided to choose Sylvester over me. Oh, moon goddess, you cannot do this to me, I silently prayed for not now that I have started believing in you. I decided to ask her outrightly.'What have you done and what should I forgive you for?' I asked, my voice steady.'Is it possible to desire two men at the same time?' she asked and my heart gave a big thump.'What are you trying to say?' I whispered hoarsely tilting her face up so that I could look into her eyes.'Oh, Christopher, I do not understand it myself!' she wailed, using the back of her hands to wipe her eyes.'Then de
I kissed Millicent deeply and we just couldn't stop. I was getting out of control and from her response, so was she.I had come to console her for the ordeal I believed her to have suffered from Sylvester's molestation and return to my room. I had had no intention of being romantic. I felt that she would not be in the mood for that in any case but obviously I was wrong and I knew that no one could make her feel the way that I did just like I could not feel this strongly for any other woman. I had not been lying when I told Millicent that she was the only female for me.Her hands were inside my shirt, caressing my ribs and then my chest, her hands were so soft.'Ohhh, my love ', I said huskily, 'where did you learn to do that?' I asked as she kneaded my nipples, causing a hot burst of pleasure to coax through my veins.'I learnt from the best, I'm sure!' she said, eyeing me seductively, batting her eyelashes.'You vixen!' I groaned, kissing her neck and wishing to go lower.'Should we
Millicent's POV I was sobbing in my room, not really understanding my feelings. I was angry that Sylvester had tried to molest me sexually. How could he do that? Maybe I shouldn't be shocked, he still saw me as the maid he could treat as he so deemed fit, including relieving his sexual tension in even if she was unwilling. After all, he had tried this in the past, but for the timely intervention of Cathania.I was also furious with myself for feeling for a moment there, a stab of desire for Sylvester when I should have been furious with him for touching me without my consent.I felt like I had betrayed Christopher, my love but at the same time grateful that he had come at the time that he did. Who knows what would have happened if he hadn't. I would have tried to fight him off, but what was my training to his strength?I was still sobbing and thinking about all this, when someone came into my room and I would have jumped had I not smelled Christopher.He came to me, trying to console
Christopher's POVI knew I would be unable to sleep this night because I feared that I might lose her as soon as my eyes were closed. I had claimed her, that was true but I still needed to mark her but I wanted to give her time. So I kept looking at her in wonder. Mating had never been this great for me, before.I wondered what Christopher would say and do when he smelt me on Millicent in the morning. Well, the morning will take care of itself. Millicent touched my cheek and I smiled, because I had wanted to do the same to assure myself that she was real and not a phantom.I knew I had tired her but she seems unwilling like I was to fall asleep.'Did you like it?' I asked, sure that she did but wanting to hear it from her.'Was my response and scream of ecstasy not enough for you to know you did a great job?' she countered. That was not the answer I was hoping for but the way she said it as though she was not going to give me the satisfaction of knowing her true feelings concerning
Millicent's POVWe kept staring at each other as we lay side by side, till our breathing returned to normal.I felt sleepy but I just didn't want to sleep just yet. I wanted to be sure I was really the one who experienced all those delicious feelings. I touched, Christopher on his cheek and he smiled.'Did you like it?' he asked, with male pride.'Was my response and scream not enough for you to know you did a great job?' I countered coquettishly. He wanted me to say it was the best lay and it was, though I didn't have any backup experience, I just knew that it was exquisite, the best anyone could get.He laughed and turning me over till I was on him. He kissed me tenderly and I almost cried. What did I do to deserve this great man?'I enjoyed it extremely!' he said looking into my eye. 'There's no shame in admitting it, you know'. He furrowed his brows in thought and then, while caressing my face, said, 'I am aware you do not have any experience to build on or lay your comparison but
Christopher's POVI was not going to believe that Millicent had left me.I rushed into her room. She must be dressing in readiness for her flight. 'I shall stop you from this grievous mistake you want to make Millicent!' I vowed as I rushed into her room. She was not there. I flung her bed covers aside, still no Millicent. I went into her bathroom, no Millicent.Confirming that she was not in her room and in the building, I raced to our favourite spot - the stream but she was not there either but I smelt her. Her smell was very faint.I followed her scent, racing into the bushes, Zara was urging me on. We need to find our mate! He spoke in my head and I agreed hundred percent with him. Soon, her scent became stronger and then I heart the sound of racing and without thought, I raced after the racer, sure it was Millicent.I caught up with her. And leapt on her, falling her to the ground. and falling beside her as we rolled on the ground together, due to the impact of our collision an
Sylvester's POVThinking back at what happened with Millicent, I feel like a heel. How could I had done such a thing? Here I was trying to win her heart but now, I have succeeded in driving her further away from me. Christopher was not helping matters at all, by getting too close to her.Ezra was also not being considerate. I wasn't trying to pin all of the blame of molesting our mate on him but he acts like the beast he really was. Christopher had gone to console Millicent and though the idea did not sit well with me, there was nothing I could do about it.Millicent could not want to mate with Christopher now. She must be too humiliated and furious by my actions to think Ong those lines.I recalled how she felt in my arms and knew that I had to have her. I had almost won her heart in the past and I could still do it. I wondered why I had not felt this way before Christopher came back, the mate matter would have been a seal, settled and delivered deal. But be that as it may, I will
'Dear Iris,I do not know what my life would be when you get this letter. I may have died or become a rogue, a wanderer. But whatever I become, I know you will not make it your business because I do not deserve it. But once more find it in your heart to forgive me and my family. I wish you all the best.NB: I have accepted your rejection, you must have felt it the instant that I did. And attached here is the divorce papers I have duly signed.Once more, I wish you the best!'Adrian B.Iris got this a week after her lengthy discussion with Adrian. She shed a few years. It was sad really. They had started well, at least so she had thought when they met. She had been so sure theirs was going to be like the love her parents shared that had stood the test of time and survived against all odds, but it was not meant to be.'Iris, what is the problem?' Millicent asked, when she saw tears in her daughter's eyes.. She just came to check on her daughter after having a steamy mating session with
'Iris, could not find it in your heart to forgive me?' Adrian asked. 'I thought you loved me?' This was coming three months later and when Iris had recovered enough and agreed to see him.'Loved' being the operational word here, darling. Right now, I do not even hate you!' Iris said, smiling at him. ' Hating you takes alot of energy I do not have to expend. The eighteenth months I spent being your wife was not all a waste. It thought me about self preservation and how fickle minded some beings can be!''I hoped you would forgive me for the pain you had to go through as my wife. I can't blame it all my mother but if I had had the right guidance, maybe I would have treated you better'.'Andrew is younger than you are and of the same parents', Iris said laughing amusedly. 'If anyone should act irrationally, he would have been my best bet but your irrational behaviour is unrivalled. I begged you to allow me go and stay with my parents till the pups were born but what did you do? Most prob
'Yes, please have Selina Blake ushered into this place at once!' Alpha King Sylvester said.'Mum, I know that I lost the baby from the heavy shove Roxy gave me, telling me it didn't matter if I lost my baby since she was going to give another to Adrian and make him a better wife than I', Iris said very weakly. 'But Wendy gave me a kind of brew that made me feel fat worse. It may have contributed to aborting the pregnancy as well because I felt an unbearable pain after taking it. As he also did not call for the doctor when I asked her to!''Wendy will be taken care of, don't worry. She signed her own death warrant when she messed with you my beloved daughter!''You got here so fast, I did not know if the mind link I sent mother went through before I passed out!' Iris said.'It did and we rushed to this place as soon as we possibly could!' Millicent said kissing her frail hands. 'Now you must go to bed, the rest will be said outside so as not to disturb your rest. I can see you are drow
Millicent fastened a metallic chain on Wendy. 'I came prepared to take you down should you be responsible for my daughter's predicament. This metal chain will drain you of all your powers and make it impossible for you to do the disappearing acts for which you are known!''Ha, ha, ha, ha!' Wendy laughed. 'I told you when we met that the war between us was not over yet. I am glad that I took your daughter's happiness from her. She was guarding that pregnancy jealously. I killed three birds with just one stone!' she mocked. 'I had thought it was just one baby but it was actually three. Ha,ha,ha,ha. This is poetic justice!''You shall be so severely punished that you will beg for death but it shall be slow in coming. I shall make sure to kill you ever so slowly, you won't forget it in the afterlife!' Alpha Sylvester swore.'One more thing', the doctor strained his voice to be heard above all the noise. 'May I see the Iris' parents and husband in private, please?'Three of them followed h
The screams had not gone unheard. Adrian had been having a meeting with his guards when he heard it. He rushed towards the sound to find both Iris and Roxy on the floor, unconscious and Wendy crying. There was blood everywhere!'Doctor, Adrian screamed. 'Come here quick!There was a flurry of activities as the ladies were laid down on the bed and the doctor started treatment immediately.'Do all you can to save my baby!' Adrian commanded. Tears were in his eyes. There was just so much blood and Iris was looking as pale as death. He could not afford to lose his baby and he realised with a pang that he did not want to lose Iris as well.Andrew rushed in. 'What's going on?' he asked when he saw the two females on the bed unconscious.When no one answered, he went to Adrian and shook his shoulders. Adrian was still in a state of shock. 'What happened, Adrian?'He was still shaking him when Alpha Sylvester and Millicent rushed into the room.'What happened here?' Alpha King, Sylvester bell
Adrian could not understand what the problem was with him but it was as though he was at war with himself. He realised that a part of him wanted to continue punishing Iris while the other part wanted to treat her with the love overflowing in his heart.But he kept maltreating her.Iris was surprised at the reverse in Adrian. I thought he had changed, he seems to have grown worse these days, she thought.'Adrian, you did promise me, you would think about my request to go home to my parents till the pup is born!' she asked him one day, after he eased out of her. The encounter had been very rough and inconsiderate of her feelings. She had been scared for her baby all through the time he kept thrusting savagely into her, as though in renewed punishment for something she had done,not unlike previously. She could take it before but not now that she had something to lose.'Are you going to force me to give you an answer now?' he asked furiously. 'In short, I have changed my mind. You are no
Iris dared not hope that the change in Adrian was as a result of a change in his feelings for her. If he would say the three magic words, she knew she would forget all that he had done to her in the past. But though she sensed a slight change in him, he did not act towards her like he lived her. He paid more attention to her stomach and she knew he was just interested in the pup and not in her!‘I better enjoy this reprieve while it lasts be ause after the birth of the pups, he might retrogress back to where they started. Not for the first time, she wondered what kind of future she would give her baby with a broken home and the hatred her inlaws except for Andrew of course had for her. Would such hatred be transfered.Two days later, she was resting on the bed, when Wendy, Roxy's mother came in to see her.‘Iris, how are you enjoying your marriage?’ she asked mockingly.‘The goddess be praised!’ she replied smiling. She knew why Wendy had asked the question and she was not going to gi
'Mum, is this really you?' Roxy screeched with joy. 'You were gone for so long!''A lot happened to keep me away', Wendy replied, slumping in a couch. 'I was determined to get here no matter how late it may seem and that's why I am here!''I was beginning to wonder what was keeping you, dear friend', Selina intoned when she came into the room to join them. I tried to stop them marrying, I kept postponing it till I could postpone it no longer. But I believe you have a plausible explanation. Tell us your story and how we can remedy this situation!'Wendy smiled. 'I knew that by now, Adrian would be married to Iris. I had hoped you might have come up with a way to stop them but you did well by stalling them'. Her face became serious. 'I had set out into the fields to get that rate plant for the potion I told you about but I was caught unawares by some rogue wolves!''Rogue wolves?' Roxy and Selina exclaimed, simultaneously.'Yes!' She confirmed, nodding. 'I just got to the field where I
Adrian went into their room after speaking with his mother and found Iris sleeping.He stood looking at her for a long time, thinking that she was indeed a lovely girl. His gaze shifted to her stomach and his heart twisted and he vowed he wasn't going to allow any harm befall his pup no matter the situation between him and Iris.He walked away from the door and went towards the bed Iris was lying in as though in a trance. He knew Iris was out and wouldn't wake easily due to the drugs she had been given.'I have given your Luna her medications.', the doctor said. 'She should not be disturbed. The drug will put her to a deep sleep, though a mild sedative because of her condition, it will still make her sleep deeply because of her injuries and the stress she's been through!'He touched her stomach, 'I'll let no harm befall you, my darling pup', he said as he kissed the stomach. He felt close to his pup and strangely drawn to Iris the more. He saw a lock that had escaped down her cheek a
