To The Highest Bidder: Mated To Alpha Lukan 00040: A Saturday Morning
LUKAN.I stopped in my tracks and slowly turned to face her. I felt like I had heard the wrong piece of information."If I could remember vividly." I earned my throat ,getting all serious." That your wolf was bound and —" I said immediately as she tried to speak. " Let me finish." She shut her eyes momentarily."If your wolf was bound ,you can't perceive any scent and just any scent most especially mine ." I was looking all serious and I watched as she fought within her to explain what she felt but the right word weren't springing forth."I don't know about that." She said ,her voice laced with sadness and I felt I had reminded her of something that she had tried to forget." I'm just letting you know of what's happening to me."I nodded." Go on." I wasn't interested, I just felt like she needed my attention just as she had done yesterday and I wasn't going to fall for it ,not now ,not today or tomorrow.She exhaled and swallowed hard ." I noticed it yesterday, when the shards of glas

LUKAN.I was thinking Merida might say something else, but her look said it all. She couldn't hold my gaze any longer, pretending she saw nothing. She forced out a smile when Zayna turned to look at her, the fried chicken still in her hands and I was still chewing slowly. "Good morning Merida." Zayna greeted cheerfully as if they have known themselves for years. " Hope you slept well?"Merida gave a small nod , and we could hear feet coming down the stairs, it was Lemuel. He saw Merida and I watched as a smile lit up his face as if he had been dying to see her, the happiness in his face was evident . Like Merida was a lost treasure and he was just over the moon seeing her."Morning, beautiful." He said raising her hand to his lips and at that instant ,my heart clenched.I don't know what I felt that instant. Anger . Bitterness. Jealousy. Or the fact that he had kissed Merida's hand affectionately.But whatever I felt then squeezed my heart and I clenched my fist under the table." H

MERIDABreakfast ended about fifteen minutes ago, Lemuel had gone horse riding with Dean, leaving me bored and alone. There was nobody to speak with , definitely not Zayna and Lukan had left angrily. He was so difficult to understand. I was supposed to get angry at his attitude towards me and not him.As the maids cleared the dinning hall and Zayna spoke to her friends on the phone, I walked upstairs to the bedroom, I could feel Zayna's hateful glance on me but I wasn't bothered about it.It was way better to be alone and have peace than to stick around ,hoping that Zayna would ever to like me.There was no use pushing my buttons or thinking a miracle of some sort would happen because even the Moon Goddess knows that it was far from happening."Hey, Merida." I heard Zayna called behind me. I was almost at the top of the stairs and a huge frown , wide enough for her to see was plastered on my face and I guess she wasn't happy to see it."I want you to come and help the maids clear the

MERIDA.Hiding behind a pillar was what saved me. I was too scared to say anything. A cold shiver ran down my spine. My heart beat rapidly and I could literally hear it.Sweet beads formed on my temple and I wonder what would happen if whoever it was, sees me, I would definitely be cooked meat and I knew that i would probably know who it was and....The thought of it made me shudder, I didn't want to think of it anymore , think of the possibility that I might be killed because whoever was in the room making that call or speaking to someone was someone in the pack house. Someone I knew.I shut my eyes and braced myself for the inevitable, praying silently to the moon goddess to come to my rescue.I couldn't even peer at the person because the pillar was barely enough to hide me properly but thanks to my small frame.I literally glued myself to the pillar as the person approached, slowly, carefully, getting closer and closer to where I was hiding.My eyes hurt from shutting them too ha

LUKAN."Greetings Alpha Lukan." He said and rose to his feet, bowing slightly as I took my seat opposite him. The cold Monday morning air whispered through the little cafe which was at the outskirts of the pack. The memories of the discussion which happened on Saturday concerning the Bane Vase was still drumming in my head .I wondered who could have done such a thing. It was a heirloom which was passed down for seventh generations now, but it wasn't that serious though because I wasn't in the right frame of mind to discuss about it. Mother seemed so angry but I had to calm her down. She possibly doesn't think that it was Merida who had broken the vase?Anyways, that was a topic for another day and I will have to revisit it , I couldn't let anyone blaming Merida for what she knew nothing of ,it was just outrageous.Meeting Investigator Bartlett was something I had managed to do secretly, I wouldn't want anyone trying to poke their nose in my business and definitely not mother too.

ZAYNA. Coming to the beach was what I wanted to add to my bucket list before getting mated to Lemuel and leaving my single life for good, but I had forgotten to add it there. But now ,I was at the beach. The sweet , calm breeze blew around me and lifted my hair , letting it fly around my face.I laughed , happy and wanted to laugh again. I shut my eyes and spread my arms and I wanted to leave her forever, away from everyone and that stupid soon to be mate of mine Lemuel.Lemuel Thinking of him, why can't he get the faintest hint that I do not love him , it was Lukan my heart beat for now and always .Being close to him was the only way to get closer to Lukan, even when everything ended.Lukan.No woman would take him from me not even Merida.I had plans, great plans, beautiful plans that no one knew nothing of and when I strike, everyone including Julietta would be mesmerized.But not now , I would be patient,so much patient just the way my father was when he wiped his enemies off t

ZAYNAAs I brushed my hair and got ready to meet the girls at the restaurant, my mind was preoccupied with so many thoughts. I still haven't gotten over the dream, remembering it now made a cold shiver ran down my spine.It's been two years and I had never seen her in my dream. I had probably forgotten all about her. Is Nahla alive ? I asked myself as I stared at the mirror.I shook my head. No. It wasn't possible. Nahla.She died two years ago , and when the ambulance conveying her body to the hospital caught fire, I knew that she would never return, her body was gone and I had Lukan all to myself.I was supposed to tell my father about the dream, but ever since he went for a trip, he had neither called nor sent me a text.I was bathed in luxury to care all about that."Hey, girl." I spoke into the receiver after the third ring and Rina picked up." Zayna, where are you ?" she said in a small voice which was laced with anger ." We have been waiting for you, what's wrong girl d

Chapter 47.LUKAN."You mean you found something else on Merida case?" I asked, my voice sounding low over the receiver .it's been two days since we last spoke and ever since he had worked hard tirelessly on the case to get me the right information. And now by 8:30 p.m. my phone had rang, just as I got out of the bathroom, the white towel tied around my waist, I could hear the chattering in the dining hall downstairs. Everyone would have a late dinner today because Lemuel and Zayba had gone for their bonding ceremony and a bunch of makeup artist and designers had also be called to the Packhouse to choose a dress for Zayna out of the eight dresses she had picked for her bonding ceremony. It was just so absurd and stupid to think about it. "I went back to Frostclaw Pack and realized that Garrick and his wife Ophelia no longer live in the pack." Investigator Bartlett said and his statement hit me like a punch in the gut.It wasn't any of my business if Garrick and his wife Ophelia

ELIZABETHThe room was filled with flickering shadows as the fire in the hearth cracked. As Merida tried processed everything I had said.Her eyes widened and her face went pale as I sat across from her. This was more than just her past it was the reality that had strapped my soul together for years. "You deserve to know everything Merida. . But its difficult to hear what Im about to tell you." I said my voice trembling a little, as I looked around the room ,at everyone listening to me.Julietta handed her a mug of tea and she nodded while her fingers clenched around it. The tone of as "Your parents Naomi and Nathaniel were the most honorable wolves I ever knew." I said my voice was so sorrowful"The love they had for you and your sister , Nahla was greater than life itself. Bit love was insufficient to shield them from the packs evil. "Merida opened her mouth to speak but she remained silent. "There was a struggle for power ."I added. “Some believed Naomi’s bloodline was too
To The Highest Bidder: Mated To Alpha Lukan Chapter 94: The Flashback
ELIZABETH 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌I remembered the night of Lukan and Nahla's bonding ceremony clearly as if it had been burned into my soul. Deep crimson and royal gold colours which stand for strength and unity were used to decorate the grand hall. Music, laughter and the lovely scent of roses in bloom filled the air. In order to witness the ceremony that would bring two influential families together, every member of the pack was present and dressed to the nines. Lukan was a commanding presence in the middle of the room, his dark eyes searching the crowd for Nahla. A silence descended upon the hall as she eventually emerged. Nahla's smile was more brilliant than the chandeliers above and her silvery gown shone like moonlight. It was a hopeful smile that offered joy for the years ahead. My sense of obligation to them as their aunt had always been very strong. I made sure everything went according to plan . Bit something about that evening seemed strange, that I couldn't place my

ELIZABETH I could remember vividly when I was a little girl,our family had long held dinner as a sacred ritual a time to forget about problems and just spend time together. Tonight Julietta insisted reminded me of that.The table was exquisitely arranged with candles illuminating the food spread. Lukan sat next to Merida and they occasionally smiled as though they were trying to reassure one another. Nahla sat beside me, she had a small smile on her lips but her eyes betrayed everything as she kept stealing glances at Lukan.I sighed, we had discussed about this before coming here today, I can't blame her though. She was still in love with him. Always the gracious hostess Julietta clapped her hands together. "All right everyone start eating! Dean dont argue over the mashed potatoes. " In mock indignation Dean gasped. "Just once ,Mother ! Just once and I'm permanently branded. " T

MERIDAThe warmth of Lukan's hand in mine brought back to reality . I looked up into his delicate grey eyes which were filled with so much emotions that mirrored mine. He ran his thumb over my knuckles and the corners of his lips curled into a slight smile. "Merida I need you to listen to me." He said, his voice was steady and low I nodded for him to go on as I swallowed the lump in my throat. "You're mine Merida." He stated firmly but there was a tenderness in his voice that soothed my jangled nerves. "You will always be my mate regardless of what happens or what you may believe. It won't change anything. " I didn't realize the cracks in my heart were being filled with emotions until his words swept over me. All of my uncertainties, anxieties and confusion seemed to vanish for a moment as the weight of his words struck me. “I…” I tried to say something but

MERIDAI sat in the grand halls, my heart racing as I tried to understand what had just happened . Everything was just too much for me. Questions spiralling in my head . That woman who had suddenly reappeared today of all days on my birthday. My twin sister. Someone I barely remembered. To worsen the situation she was *Lukans first love*. I replayed the scene which happened minutes ago over and over again as my hands balled into fists and my nails digging into my palms. I still remembered Lukan's expression. His face and eyes softening as he gaze at her like one of the wonders of the world. Had he ever looked at me like that ? Is he still in love with her ? Now she was back what will happen to me ? Will he still love me just the same way ?This and many other questions ran through my head as tears threatened to spill.“Merida. . . The sound of his voice jolted me out of my thoughts. His

LUKAN Lemuel's words were still ringing in my ears as I gazed at him. It was unbelievable. I blinked severally maybe it was one of his sick jokes but it wasn't.I turned to Merida."Let’s go." I said in in a more steady voice than I actually felt. We got up from the dining table and made our way to the living room after Merida gave a silent nod. I felt like a something had gone off when I saw what was waiting for us. The room was filled with — Nahla Lemuel wasn't jokingShe was not alone, she was with someone else and she was alive—miraculously impossible alive. The woman stabding next to her recognized me to , I exhaled and looked away.A mixture of emotions made my chest tightened that I didn't know what to feel.My gaze swiftly returned to Nahla as she rushed st me, her arms circling me in a fierce tear bear hug.I closed my eyes allowing the moment to pass. We all thought the past was gone but she was here and happiness surged through me.and the memories of our time toget

MERIDA Despite the thick blankets I had wrapped around myself the cold was still in the room when I woke up and getting into my skin. Even with the heating on, the morning air still had an icy bite to it as winter quickly approached. Instinctively I reached out to feel Lukans warmth but my hand found a cold empty sheet instead. . . My heart skipped a beat. . . Lukan? I yelled softly my voice heavy with sleep.. There was no answer. I sat up massaging my arms to produce heat. There was a spooky silence in the room the kind that made me uneasy. His habit of leaving without saying anything was unusual. Still struggling with the uneasiness that was tearing at my chest I slipped my feet into my slippers and put on a cardigan. As I left our room I had the feeling that the house was empty. The corridors were deserted and the dim winter sunlight streaming in through the windows cast shadows on the floor. Though there were traces of last nights celebrations in the air like the faint scen

MERIDA I stood at the balcony of our room, the sky was without a moon tonight but I wasn't thinking about how beautiful the night was or about Lemuel because it made me feel sad. My mind was elsewhere. I was thinking about something entirely different. In this room, my thoughts and my world were centered around him. Lukan I was thinking about us. But Lukan's calming voice brought me back. "You've been looking out there for some time. What's on your mind?" I looked over and saw him standing by the door, his tie loose and shirt unbuttoned a bit. A wife smile on his thin sensual lips that made me want to kiss him. He appeared like the perfect dream I never thought could come true. There was a way he looked like me. Like I was the most important person in the world. "I was ... thinking about something. About us." I said in a small voice which was barely above a whisper. "I love talking about 'us'," he said, moving closer. "It's what I enjoy the most." I grinned, and h

MERIDAThe waves crashing against the shore was just a beautiful sight to behold. The sun was already going down in the horizon and the orange glow was pretty to watch, but nothing could beat the feeling of Lukan holding me close. That tender feeling of love made my heart soar.We had spent the evening laughing and walking around the beach and at some point he wanted us to dive in and swim but I suck at swimming and i had laughed."I wish we could stay like this forever." I whispered feeling the cool breeze brush past my cheeks as I rested my head on his shoulders."Me too." He agreed with a low, relaxed voice." To stay here for eternity." I smiled when I thought about it. "I feel the same way." Everything stopped for a moment, and it felt like time stood still. The gentle smell of salt and hope for the future was brought by the sea breeze, the waves crashing softly making a second that matched our heartbeat." Time wasn't important in this place. It was only us, the sea, and the
