To The Highest Bidder: Mated To Alpha Lukan 00054: No! This Can't Be Happening
MERIDA.Slowly , I opened my eyes and the only thing I saw was darkness around me. I couldn't understand what was going on, the sound I heard previously had increased in my head.And no matter how hard I tried, the pain in my head throb as if a thousand drummers were having a festival and my eyes felt so heavy like they had been shut tight with a nail and hammer. I tried to turn to my side and a thousand pain shot up my spine, making me breathe hard, and I couldn't move my body from the awkward position I was in. I tried to remember what happened few minutes ago but the only thing I remembered was me screaming Lukan's name.But the fragments of my imagination, came with worst headache.But I remembered it now, the vehicle coming closer to us, and Lukan trying to gain control of the steering wheel and the last thing I remembered was screaming his name.Finally I opened my eyes, slowly and painfully at first. I felt something wet and sticky trickling down the side of my head. I tu

LEMUELThe day should have been the start of something new for me and Zayna. It was as if I had seen this day coming and I had waited patiently. I couldn't contain my joy. Guests gathered around us, laughter floated through the air along with the soft hum of music, and people walked about, talking and sipping on their champagne. It felt so real like a normal human wedding which I had once attended with Lukan —except it wasn't. It was a day I and Zayna will seal our fate as mates.The bonding ceremony could have started long ago. But something was wrong. We were all waiting for Lukan. We just couldn't start the bonding ceremony without him present. He was supposed to give his blessings, supposed to stand with me in this moment and his absence was making everyone uneasy.Zayna stood beside me, looking perfect in her dress but her hands felt stiff and cold in mine. She was anxious, I guess. And once in a while she had looked back at the double grand doors.As the minute rolled by, the

LEMUEL I stepped out of Lukan's ward, my heart heavy with fear. The smell of antiseptic clung to my skin, the bright lights of the hospital hallways doing little to calm my nerves.Why them ?The question had been gnawing at my mind since the accident. I couldn't shake the sight of Lukan, bruised and broken, hooked up to machines that kept him alive. Who could have done this? I quickened my pace as I headed towards Merida's ward. Rosita and Kara we already inside standing by her bed. I slowed down at the door, pressing my hand against the cool metal as if I could somehow prepare myself for what I could find inside. Merida. She had to wake up. Everything happening was just so strange. I took a deep breath and entered the room. Merida lay there, still unconscious. Pale, fragile like she was already halfway to another world. It had been three days. Three days of not hearing her voice , of not hearing Lukan's voice tooRosita glanced at me, worry etched on her face ."Any news on th

MERIDA "Mother you need to stop all this." Lemuel yelled clenching his fist I had never seen him this angry before." This is a hospital in case you don't know."Julietta eyes twitched up and she regarded him like a spoiled 6 year old, slowly she turned to Kara and Rosita who had their head bowed, trying to avoid her gaze."What are you two still doing here?" She bellowed, they stood up immediately staring at each other in fear."Do you want me to spell it out? Get out!" She yelled stamping her feet and they both scurried out of the room.Julietta stared at their departing figures in disgust before she turned her angry eyes on me and i felt like disappearing forever.She took a step towards where I was sitting on the bed and immediately, Lemuel stepped between us again and she glared at him."What are you doing, boy?" She said giving him a hard dirty look and I was thinking he had step away but he didn't. "Mother." He called softly holding her hands." We can't be arguing here, what if

MERIDAI still couldn't think properly, couldn't bring myself to believe that I was the one who had defended myself, and also talked back at Julietta ,like I had known her all my life. It felt so out of this world, and I still couldn't believe it, but I felt something in me that made me happy. I was getting stronger now, courageous, I was no longer the same Merida who everyone looked down on and spoke to like they wish.It felt like a new found power had settled in me, and I just couldn't stop it from surging through my body. I would never forget the shocked expression on Julietta's face even Zayna didn't see it coming. I wanted to see Lukan, wanted to know how he was faring, if he was getting better just as Lemuel said.I buried my face in my palms, I prayed something to the Moon Goddess that Lemuel wasn't lying to me to make me feel better. A nasty thought crept its way into my mind, clawing at my heart telling me that something bad had happened to Lukan . But I shook my head,

MERIDA."Oh, that's true." I said and Zayna looked from I to Lemuel and then back again , she was kind of confused wondering what was going on.I was expecting Zayna, the old Zayna to ask what was happening but no she didn't say anything, the confusion was still in her eyes.And when Lemuel's words registered, she forced a smile and bobbed her head in agreement."I thought it was supposed to be tomorrow?" She asked packing the box of pizza and I saw a glint of anger in her eyes but she said nothing."No. I think the doctor changed his mind." Lemuel said coughing nervously ."besides I think it's high time they get discharged because it's been three days already."I sat back on the bed, the little slice of pizza I had, was enough to sustain me until I had something else to eat. "I got your drugs, Merida." Lemuel said and I i nodded my thanks.There was a slight knock on the door and Kara with another maid who I couldn't remember her name, came in."You will be going with them I and Zay

The echoes of my scream still lingered in the room ,when the door burst open. Rosita and Kara rushed in first, followed by Lemuel, his eyes scanning the room widely. "My lady," Rosita's voice was filled with panic as she hurried to my side, gripping my arms tightly and it was the first time she was addressing me as such."Are you all right? What happened?"I shook my head, forcing myself to sit up . My chest rose and fell rapidly, the terror still gripping my heart. "it.. it was just a bad dream," I whispered forcing out a lie, glancing at Lemuel whose gaze remain fixed on me.Rosita's shoulders slumped in relief, and Kara offered a soft smile."it's okay. We are here now."I nodded, swallowing hard."Thanks, both of you. I just need a moment. Please go and rest I will be fine."Kara hesitated, looking at Lemuel for approval before she and Rosita eventually left the room. Once the door clicked shut behind them, I turned to Lemuel. I could see it in his eyes, he knew there was somethi

MERIDAI couldn't sleep, I was too scared too, I was thinking of so many things at the same time.Finally I got out of bed, my troubling thought couldn't let me sleep, I had to check on Lukan.I stepped into Lukan's room, The familiar scent of antiseptic mingling with the midnight air from outside where it had rained, few minutes ago .The guards at the door had nodded respectfully, their eyes conveying silent understanding of my worry, they had let me in and I couldn't care less if Julietta had given them an instruction not to let me see Lukan .Lukan lay still, his face pale, a slight frown creasing his brow even in unconsciousness.Seeing him like this made my chest tightened. I took a deep breath and quietly approach his bedside, sinking into the chair beside him. For a few minutes, I just watched him, willing him to wake up. He looked almost peaceful, except for the occasional twitch of his fingers as if he was locked in a dream he couldn't escape. I reached out , my fingers sli

MERIDAFairy lights were delicately strung between old oaks and the Willow trees that swayed in the evening breeze casting a warm golden glow over the garden. Lukan had suggested for a small party, to relieve our stress he had said and I had laughed.Today had been so hectic, even though it was a small get together, Julietta had instructed the maid to prepare lot of light meals, snacks and cupcakes.Lemuel had gotten chilled wine and I had taken a glass already.We had invited very few people, those who were close to the Alpha's family and those we think should be invited.Just a handful though. Our packs laughter and light conversation filled the air fostering a spirit of happiness and solidarity. It was more than just a celebration, this small get-together served as a time to remember our journey and the relationships we had formed during the trials. It was a moment of joy and to forget all that had happened.I had heard little about Uncle Garrick and Aunt Ophelia. The last I he

LUKANI had gotten home very late that night and was too stressed to tell anyone how everything went.Merida had rarely spoken after everything Elizabeth had said and it was the hurt from everything that made me decided to take justice. After what had happened it had taken all of my strength to console Merida, as she remembered the painful memories of her childhood.But today, there was no need waiting time, she had to know how everything went, I owed her the that because she deserved it. I had arrested Garrick and Ophelia two days ago.. Justice had started to take its course as investigation had been carried out on the pack both of them had destroyed and searching for any other surviving relative.Ophelia's injury was a tragic twist of fate that left her in critical condition and she kind of deserve every bit of it.The emptiness in my chest persisted though. In light of what Merida had gone through justice was insufficient, but the moon goddess knew that arresting both of them we

LUKAN Each of the revelations and confessions that I had gotten from Elizabeth and Nahla over the last two weeks had been more disturbing than the one before. So disturbing that I couldn't get it out of my mind and it had made me so angry. The image of that night was still in my head and I couldn't push it aside and the overwhelming amount of evidence linking Aunt Ophelia and Uncle Garrick to Merida's parents deaths had painted a picture which was too horrific to ignore. Even as the days passed, I found myself becoming more determined. I knew I had to act fast if I wanted justice to be served to those two fools that had started this whole rubbish. I had promised myself that whatever the cost justice would be done and I would leave no stone unturned. I took a bend and before me was the Packhouse where Ophelia and Garrick lived, a monument to stolen wealth. It had been long I came here and coming here now brought back memories, memories of the first time I had met Merida. I

ELIZABETH The 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. "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 pu

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
