My heart was thumping loudly as I kept racing through the woods.

" Don't let her escape." I heard their voices. They were fast approaching.

I could not let them catch me, not today so I kept racing.

I was exceptionally fast for a human.

I stumbled and fell down, my body rolling on the ground severally before I managed to stop.

Picking myself up, I ignored the pain in my whole body as I continued to escape.

Three men were following me, determined to catch me but I was determined to not be caught, not when I saw them slaughter one of our own.

I was just about to cross a stream when a red cloak flashed past me.

Something Inside me told me to halt and observe and I did just that.

My eyes turned to look at the person who had her whole body covered with a red cloak.

She stood there as she waited for them and soon enough they caught up with me, only that this time, they didn't dare approach me.

" Hunting for something?" The person covered with a cloak asked and it's then I realised that it w

  • The lycan king's hated mate   Accusations

    Gideon POVTo say my mate's response to my touch surprised me would be an understatement. I was taken aback and hurt. I won't deny that part.It felt like she was disgusted by my touch or something…or more like she was afraid of me. But why would Maya be scared of me? It made little to no sense at all.I know when I left her in the afternoon, she was pissed with me, but I did not expect her anger to escalate to this.“ At least wake up from the icy floor. You might get sick from the coldness.” Ignoring the ache in my heart, I said.The marble floor was cold and, given that she was only wrapping a towel around her body, she could get sick.That would be bad for her health and our baby's.I have not told Maya about her pregnancy. I don't know how to break the news to her because we discussed nothing to do with children before.We have failed to consider that consequence when we made love.I don't regret having a baby with my mate and even though I have not shown it yet, I am happy.Maya

    My heart felt like it would pop out of my rib cage. I felt crushed by Maya's accusations, but wait… Where did she hear that crap from?I am sure only one person harbors such rumors and the mere thought of her having met Maya made my heart run cold.“ She told you, didn't she?” I asked, my eyes trained on her.I did not want to miss a single expression on my mate's face.Her sweet scent that always makes me think about honey filling my nose was messing with me.Oh god, did she know what effect she had on me?Despite wanting to get angry and storm out of this room, I could not bear to do that. I could not bear to leave her side.Maya was like a drug to me, a drug that had me addicted to it, I could no longer live without her. That was confirmed.Even when I would leave for a few hours, my thoughts would always run to her. That's how whipped I was." Does it matter who told me, Gideon?” She asked, a lone tear escaping her right eye as it cascaded down her cheek.She closed her eyes and

    I pulled him when he turned to walk away. Hearing his story, I didn't know whether to be happy or mad at him. I know for a fact that I can't judge Gideon for his past, just like I would not appreciate it if he meddles in mine.Even with the disarray of emotions, I was thankful for one thing; he was mine now.Claiming his lips, our tongues fought as they sought dominance. I gave up, allowing Gideon to plunge his tongue into my mouth, exploring and tasting every nook of my mouth.I smiled into the kiss, glad that Gideon was as eager as I was to feel me.My naughty hands crept their way to his nether region, cupping his manhood which twitched in my hands. He was already hard; hard just for me and that fact alone gratified me.Pulling away, I nested my forehead on his own, our hot breath mingling.“ Show me, Gideon, show me that I am your world.” I breathed out, needly.Gideon pulled away, his hands cupping my cheeks as he made me look into his eyes.His blue orbs were painted with desir

    It has been four months since we discovered that I was pregnant and three months since the cloaked lady visited me.My bulging stomach proves that anytime from now we would be welcoming our pup to this world.Everything has been too silent and peaceful. It's like there was never any danger looming over us to begin with.But I am not too stupid to believe that all is well. To me, this seems like a calm before the storm." A penny for your thoughts milady?" Samantha's voice pulled me from my thoughts.I turned to look at her, beaming at her. She has been the best company I could ever ask for during my pregnancy." It's nothing. I was just thinking." I replied.Keeping anything from Samantha seems impossible for me.She is the one who understands me the most and always calms me." You are worried they will strike now that you are almost due?" She asked and I nodded." I am also worried about Maya. Honestly, this peace we have now gives me the creeps. I feel like something big is cooking.

    I groaned, trying to open my eyes. My head felt heavy like Ii housed ten kilograms of stones.My eyes fluttered open, trying to take in my surrounding." Finally you are awake. I thought I would have to use my special tactic to get up blinking." A sinister voice echoed in my mind.I did not have to turn to know who that sound belonged to." What do you want?" I could roughly guess why I was here.Seems like the day we have been waiting for is finally here. I just hope Gideon would realise sooner or later that I am missing.I have tried mindlinking him but I can't seem to get through him. Who knows what the witch has done to cut off the connection.Avery smiled sinisterly, taking a step after the other towards me.I cringed, moving backward until my back hit the wall.The coldness of the floor sipping into my bones, making me shiver." That's what I want." She said, pointing at my bulging belly.My eyes widened in horror as dread filled and consumed every muscle of my being.My baby! M

    " Every year on this day,you come to drink with me. Tell me Maya, what is the matter?" Samantha asked, pouring me another glass of wine." I can't drink with you though." She added, sounding apologetic." I know that. Kyle told me that you guys are expecting again. Congratulations." I said.Six years ago, Kyle and Samantha finally got married and were blessed with a baby boy, Allison." He won't stop telling everybody about it. He's hoping we could have a girl this time." Samantha said with a smile." Anyway, don't try to change the subject. Tell me, it's been years, why do you still feel guilty about your parents death? You and I both know that you had nothing to do with that." She added, making me take a deep breath before sighing heavily." Samantha, do you think I am a filial daughter?"

    " Nooooo!" I cried out, my legs moving impossibly fast as I held Albanus in my arms.The dagger had stabbed directly into his heart and I knew that there was no way I would be saving him.As I held him in my arms, I could not help but let my tears fall.A beautiful smile was plastered on his face as he looked me in the face." Why Albanus! Why did you do that? Why are you stupid?" I yelled at him, my tears flowing like a river.I did not bother to restrain them as they fell, each drop of my tears falling on his face." They say that love is blind but not stupid. I think my Love for you is both blind and stupid. I Love you Maya and I can do anything to see you happy.

The southern border has been taken down and they are heading to the castle. What should we do?" Brianna cried. I could feel the worry in her voice,not like I was not worried myself but I had prepared myself for this day." Calm down Brianna. I want you to do something for me. Take Zara to safety. Take her to the bunker and wait for me there. No matter what happens, do not let her out of your sight." I instructed, racing down the stairs.The kingdom has always been fortified so how could they break in so quickly?How could they easily make their way as far as to the castle unless this was all but a trap?However, I didn't have time to ponder on that, I just knew I had to stand up and de

Says the person who did not have a second thought before betraying her people and what she calls a home." I snickered sarcastically.To me, your home is the place you would sacrifice anything to see it peaceful and prosper. That's the true definition of a home." My people?" Avery's voice was filled with scorn. " I helped alot of them, saved their pathetic lives but what did they do for me? The person I trusted the most betrayed me and stabbed me behind my back.
