We stood in front of Mr James' house and I nodded at Jakob to go ahead and ring the doorbell which he did and we waited for anyone to get the door.
Soon after, the door bolt made an opening sound and the door creaked open afterwards. Mr James stepped out and a surprise look broke out in his face.
"My Alpha...greetings," he bowed slightly.
"May I have a word with you Mr James?"
"Of course, My Alpha...please do come in," he offered, stepping away from the door a bit to give me entrance to go in.
"Not to worry about that...I'm totally alright here and I won't be taking much of your time anyways…" I said.
LIAM'S POVIt took a little while for Lily to walk down the stairs. I was tempted to think she wasn't coming down. Who knows Danny must have told her not to but I felt a bit relieved to see her coming down.There was some sort of awkward air around us the moment she got down.Then she cleared her throat and asked me, "You found them?""Errr… no but I'm close… I have a few questions for you. It would help me a lot…""Questions? Alright then, shoot,""I need to know everything...I mean the enemies and friends of your mother then...was she in some sor
"Oh my! What a surprise, greetings my Alpha…"A woman that looked to be in her human life; early forties offered greetings to Liam. She was totally taken aback by Liam's surprise visit at first and did barely enough to hide her surprise.Liam sized her up, slim with pale skin and deep red lipsticks that shone a little above brightly. Extreme. Curly short pale hair that matched her skin.Liam thought she looked a bit creepy but quickly waved it off as he remembered he came for something and couldn't afford to lose track of himself."Maggie right?" Liam asked, fixing his gaze directly at her."You remember Ms James, don't you?" Liam asked, go
"Alpha Liam…" Helen stuttered inaudibly as she sighted Liam coming towards her in giant steps and long strides. She smelled danger with the way Liam's facial expression held so much anger in it and the dangerous smoke his footsteps released as he walked towards her. He didn't look friendly at all.Liam got to her front and stood there menacingly.His eyes stared daggers and knives at Helen and when he opened his mouth to speak, his words came out with so much venom and burning fire, enough to burn Helen's skin."Did you really believe that Lily killed her mother or did you intentionally lie to me? You had always known you had a mate but lied to me to keep Lily from me? Answer me!" Liam barked at Helen who was already beginning to quiver in fear.
LIAM'S POVI stared out of the window. The warm sensational summer breeze whipping my face, although nice and wonderful, couldn't help my languishing state. I felt so miserable and disheartened after my full discovery.My Alpha wolf felt the most miserable and hurt. Never felt my Alpha aura gone that low and filled with sadness. I guess my regrets ate deep into my wolf form causing my entire form to be covered in abject regret.Truly, Mara and Maggie had killed Lily's mother that night. I fixed the puzzles even before they confessed behind closed doors. I had them arrested and kept in the dungeon and yes they confessed to it all and shamefully asked that they be forgiven. Maybe I would have considered that if I only hadn't made my mate go through so much in my hands. I felt a painful sensation that tightened my chest each time I thought about the whole time I had Lily flogged, thrown in the dungeon and starve
Seeing Lily standing before me got me so tongue tied and I felt my whole body so jittery that I couldn't move neither further nor backwards."Ehem!" She cleared her throat to get my attention after what seemed like forever of silence and a bit of awkwardness that hovered around us.I stared at her for a while."So?" She started off letting her body lean gently on the door handle."Oh, come in…" She said and started to head in while she left the door ajar for me to get in. I shifted my clothes collar as I followed her in quietly. I felt like my tie was suddenly choking me. Phew! Like I hadn't worn it for long and felt totally okay but suddenly, I was feeling tense and sort of light-head
LILY'S POVI had never felt so much pain rope my heart, not even close to what I felt being hurt by my mate like the way I got tangled in pain the moment Alpha Liam revealed those responsible for my mother's death.Not when Liam imprisoned me, not when he publicly rejected me and not when I was nearly killed by a rogue had I felt such excruciating tightening pain in my heart before, ever! Maggie and Mara had pierced my heart with a sharp sword and never would I forgive them.My wolf was hurt too, she had whimpered in pain the whole time and nearly got out of its cage if not for Danny stopping me. I feared what she would have done if Danny hadn't stepped in.I definitely wouldn't have blamed h
Minutes after Liam had left the castle, Lily and Danny prepared to go see Maggie and Mara.Danny noticed how low Lily appeared, then he tried to lift her mood."For someone that defeated the great Noah, this should have not a single push on her, don't you think?" Danny asked, wiping his wet hands with the kitchen towel.Lily lifted her eyes at him and dropped it again without saying a word.Danny sighed seeing that his plan failed and he knew nothing much would likely change even if he went on trying to make a silly joke as Lily was totally down."It's okay if you don't want to see them…"
Danny watched Lily sob quietly at a corner. She curled her body into a foetal position very close to the wall, her head covered with her shaking hands as she trembled with sobs.The throbbing veins that had appeared in her neck had fortunately gone in. For a moment back there, Danny thought Lily would transform and act rashly. She was near shape shifting; her fangs were shot out already and her claws sprouted out dangerously. It was only a matter of time before she had run off and surely would have done something horrible. Her mood was nasty enough to make such happen.Now he wasn't too worried that she was shape shifting out of anger. He knew how dangerous that could be.Her sobs filled the surrounding even as quiet as she made them be. Danny heard it all. Soon th
LIAM'S POVIt has been days since I brought down Alpha Noah and his subordinate, Samson, putting Alpha Magnus in his place and becoming one of the known and strongest Alpha. It was the most terrifying time of my life as an Alpha. Having my Luna kidnapped.It turned out Helen had kidnapped my Luna, her best friend. But I was totally glad with the way Lily handled it all. And now she is back on her feet, I prepared a surprise for her.Taking her to the sea to meet Danny whom I now have a good relationship with and the others. It was all fun and going well. I also made a special tenth for her. She always loved to be around the sea.Biggest of it all, I planned to wear her a special ring. One that I hadn't been opportuned to do with all that happened. It was all planned by Danny and I and we intend to surprise her.As I stood at the seasand, I felt a sudden sh
DAYS LATERLily had taken some of the guards to pay a visit to her mother's grave. She heard of Mara and Maggie's death. She felt not a single pity for them. They have not only her mother's blood in their hands but their blood as well. She sighed and straightened from the grave. Gently she lowered the flowers she had brought and said some prayers. The moon goddess would protect the soul of her mother."Ahem!"A voice boomed behind her. She turned to see her father standing inches from her. Equally with some flowers.He came nearer looking sober. "You think she will ever forgive me for hurting you?" He asked, blinking back tears.Lily was mute for a while. "She already did. " She finally said after a short while breathing in a chunk of air.For seconds they stood at the foot of the grave pouring their unheard heart. Mr James espec
Without another word, she pawed to her room, face dropped."Throw them both into the dungeon!!" Liam ordered the guards pointing at Lui and at Helen."Me? What… why? I bursted her why do I have to get thrown into the dungeon?" Lui cried, retreating.The guards grabbed her and Helen and threw them into the dungeon.Liam walked to Lily's room. His fingers lingered on the door as he contemplated on going in or not. She could still be in a sour mood.He finally decided to come back after she must have calmed down. He turned around. Jakob was coming towards him briskly."My Alpha…there is an urgent situation in the dungeon…""What?""The two ladies…"It must be Lui and Helen. "Did they get into a fight? You should have kept them in separat
"She is responsible for the kidnap of her so-called best friend!""What?" Both Liam and Lily chorused.Lily flared up. "Hey! I can tolerate anything from you but you dare not speak ill about my friend before me!" She blasted Lui.Lui bursted out into hysterical laughter. "I have never seen a more stupid person like you in my entire life! How on earth did the Alpha fall in love with a bitch like you…I mean why will the moon goddess mate you to the Alpha as a Luna. Such a shame…""Lui! How dare you disrespect my Luna before me!""Tawai!"Liam's roaring voice and Lily's
THE CASTLE"Oh my dear son!" Ms Lucky ran into her son's embrace."Danny!" Hailey shrieked. She literally skipped steps of the stairs as she ran to meet Danny.Catherine stood apart giving the family some time to bond again after what seemed like forever to them."Oh Catherine, thank you so much!" Hailey hugged her fiercely."Oh heavens…Hailey I can't breathe…" She struggled to speak."Oh, sorry." She finally released her chuckling."Don't you dare scare me in this manner again!" Ms Lucky said in a warning tone, hugging him again. Danny grunted feeling choked from his mother's tight hug."Come tell me everything that happened…""Mother! He just got in. Let him have some food and some rest. Don't you think?" Hailey scolded h
Curtis shape shifted back to his human form and lay panting heavily on the ground. He was bundled to the dungeon as Alpha Liam pawed away."Let me speak to the Alpha…" he continued to plead weakly, blood covered his body from all the times he crashed heavily to the ground.Lui watched from a corner silently. The moment Curtis had agreed to challenge Liam, she knew he was losing straight up but seeing how messed up he looked, she felt a soft spot in her rear up. She blew out air out of her mouth in frustration. She had warned him but he wouldn't listen.As the guards dragged him away, Lui knew she had to find a way to get him out. She would give him one last chance to right his wrongs and dissappear for good this time around and not interrupt her business. His presence anywhere in the pack even in the dungeon looks to be a bother to her. She wants him gone far away.Stil
"Let go of me right now!" Lui wrenched at the grip of the guards as they dragged her out of the house.Lily marched to her. She stopped before her folding her hands across her chest."What are you doing!" Lui glared at her."Time to go to your home bitch…"Lui scoffed. "Why? Liam doesn't want me gone. Why will I do as you say?""Aaah, I guess you are beginning to find out how much of a loser you are huh…"Her words pricked Lily. She bit her lips forcing herself to ignore her words instead she let out a scorning chuckle. Then she moved slightly out of the way giving her enough spac
Since getting back from the dungeon of Alpha Magnus. Lily hadn't had a single moment of rest. Helen that would have consoled her and helped her not worry much about Liam and Danny. According to Serena, Helen had gone on a search for her."Having been so worried about your disappearance and the Alpha not returning with you any sooner, she decided to go on a search for you herself." Serene had told her."Such a good friend.. what will I ever do without you…"She said, feeling the warmth in her heart.But now she was worried about her safety. She could be hurt. She paced around the room as she thought of what she could do to help. She was back and Helen had no idea. She would be searching fruitlessly."I should go and meet her…" she thought.Then she grabbed her shawl and hung around her neck and stepped out of the room.
"You…tell me why I should spare your life…""Please Liam…remember the old times…"Alpha Magnus stuttered."I didn't ask for you to answer…" Liam shut him off. He marched to Alpha Noah. "Beg for your life…."Alpha Noah spat out. "Never!""You leave me with no choice. I should have finished what you started. The moment you lost the war to me…""To your Luna…you weakling…"Alpha Noah snarled.Liam's face twitched. "Is that why you wish to covet her as yours after getting rid of me?"Alpha Noah smirked with a painful grunt."Aaaah…I see you read that. Not every lady defeats me… She has tormented my dreams…and given me nightmares since that day. I yearned to have her moan under me…""You wish…"Liam
