Lessie’s Pov My body floated in mid air. I felt warmth around me all of a sudden as I seemed to be snatched by what I could only describe as a pair of arms. Very muscular arms.My eyes were shut out of the world as I felt myself pulled towards a body that felt familiar. I didn't care, neither did I want to care. I thought I was dead. I thought that was heaven. And I wanted for a while to stay that way forever.Could this have been an angel? I thought in that moment of bliss.—"Are you really such an idiot?" A voice interrupted. "Are you mad?" Do you know how high that up that window is from the floor?"My eyes opened once again, but this time to the face of a man looking quite sternly at me with his lips bowed in a frown. He had such finely shaped features that if he had not started his sentence with an insult I would have blushed at him."Who the hell are you?" I retorted. "Put me down this instant." I said in a commanding tone, which felt like a wrong to do, he looked like a
Lessia's POV I couldn't have possibly been able to count the number of times I had walked across the room that day. I could guess, and it would turn up to a thousand times.A thousand times I had dragged my feet painstakingly across the four corners of the room, and for nothing. Nothing but the damn reason that I was bored out of the far reaches of my mind.After a while I decided to take a stroll around the building. It offered a variety of views that caught my attention. From the paintings on the walls that seemed to come alive just by staring at them, sculptures of werewolves in transformation, to the faces of people who smiled at me on the way.That was by far the most surprising thing I had ever encountered. My heart danced to the rhythm of their voices as they greeted me with an attitude that spelled sunshine and rainbows.On one hand, it made me a bit sick inside. On the other hand, I really did not know how to feel about it. All my life I had been treated and handled by th
Maddox POV: "Why did I let her go? How stupid could I be? How did a man like Kian manipulate me into giving into him?" It had been a while since I was this angry. I felt not just like a fool but like a childish one with no bearing on what to with himself and what not to do.Only a fool would have fallen for the cheap stunt he pulled on me.My mind continuously went on a back and forth trip to the day of the meeting and the more it did the more I felt more embarrassed of the fool I had felt myself to be.If only there was a way to turn back the hands of time so I could go back and relive that day. If only. But sadly no such thing existed. If it did, Lessia would have of course still have been within the whims of my power doing my bidding.Deep down, a cold hand seemed to play freely with the strings of my soul, playing a song I didn't want to admit I heard. To admit that deep down, I kind of missed her. But I wouldn't have admitted it even if I was to die if I didn't.The fire in t
Kian's POV: "What do you want?" I asked, noticing just how intensely she was staring at me. Around us seemed to exist an invisible circle of sexual tension that squeezed us closer into the embrace of each other.Her eyes never seemed to dangle away from the strip of towel that welded around my waist. It was hard to determine whether or not I was to be uncomfortable with her behavior, as I equally felt like dragging her into the bed with me.Just staring at her, wild thoughts clouded my mind. I wanted to be all over her. To hear her breathing change when my tongue circles around her nipples.I wanted to know what both sets of her lips taste like, how her moans sounded like.I wanted to have her on her knees in front of me with the evidence of my pleasure all over her face and a fulfilled look in her eyes.Lessia had come into my life in less than a month, but I suddenly couldn’t imagine what my life would look like without her in it.There was a hole, a void that suddenly appeared an
Lessia's POV: I had not even the faintest idea what Kian was talking about. But I didn't want to spend my time thinking about it. Laying on the bed, all I could think about at then was how close our bodies were back in the room. So close that our lips almost brushed upon each other in a number of times.I felt a different kind of emotion, it was new. With Maddox, I was used to feeling pain, pain with a dab of pleasure extracted from it.However, with Kian, I felt different, like he cared for me, like he was drawn to me.It made my toes curl up just thinking about it. Inside of me danced a euphoria that nearly exploded right through my head when I remembered how lightly he kissed my forehead.How in total control of himself he was, when even I myself wanted nothing more but for him to throw me on the bed and fuck me to the moon and back.It was really all strange to me to find someone like that. Everybody else I know would have taken advantage of me. But he didn't. Even if I want
Lessia's POV "You slut!" Started the letter on a sour word. "In that tiny little head of yours, you might think you're free from me and my wrath. But I assure you, you wench. I assure you that you're in fact not. You belong to me, whether or not you choose to believe it. Your pussy is mine to keep. Everything about your body is mine to keep. And even Kian will not be able to—"I stopped reading and tossed the letter away. My body cringed as I felt goosebumps all over it. I held myself with both my arms. A rush of bad memories filled up my head space for at the period. I suddenly felt the urge to throw up.From my reaction, Janet was able to tell that I was not okay. I didn’t want to bother her with anything, she had been nothing but kind to me since Kian assigned her to me. I didn’t want to make her worry, but it was already too late."What happened?" She asked, with a worried filled tone, a bit of franticness on her voice. "What was written on the letter?"She was about to pick
Maddox's POV: I woke up to a day that I had deemed full of promises. For a while, I had prevented myself from being happy. It had been so long since I woke up that happy, that it had become very hard conceptualizing it.The secret to my happiness, was linked directly to an expectation I had buried in my mind.It’s been months since Kian took Lessia away from me, if he thought I had given up on her, he was clearly mistaken.I would get her back, no matter the cost . Even if it meant tearing down his his pack, finding him and reaping his insides apart, I wouldn’t stop until she came back to me.I couldn’t wait to see the look of Kian’s face, the look of defeat he’d have on his face, after I take her from him.I left my bed. Ignored every possible thing that could draw anger from within me and went straight towards the room of my Beta. Jason.As much as I had doubted it, he was still sleeping, the lazy bones. I discovered this with merely two knocks on the door as he couldn't answer.
Lessia's POV I felt behind me something that seemed like a hard object poking at my ass. At first I was still, trying not to panic. Afraid that I might wake Kian up, but It kept growing harder, pushing itself into my body. I was in a dilemma, trying to steady my thoughts.Was I to wake him up? Or was I to act like nothing was happening? Either way I had already braced my mind that it was all going to end in sex after all. It had to happen one way or the other.It wasn’t like having sex with Kian would be a bad idea, I had always thought about what it would feel like. I was just anxious about it in generalSoon, I heard him muttering something. He was finally awake. I could feel his breath hot against my neck as gasped.The bed sank a bit when he sat on it."Good morning," he said, smiling. I didn’t know how to react to it. As an Omega, people barely looked at me, if they did, it was either out of pity or repulsion. But Kian’s smile seemed so genuine, it gave me goosebumps.I repli
Lessia's POVFive Years Later… “Mummy, we’re waiting, hurry up!” I heard Raphael call out to me.“I’ll be down in a minute.” I yelled back, as I tried to apply the finishing touches to my make up.It was the boys birthday, Raphael had been overly excited about it. He asked for so many things for his birthday, he was looking forward to seeing his wishes being granted.Leo on the other hand, didn’t say much about what he wanted his birthday, well asides from reminding us that he hated chocolate cakes and wouldn’t attend the party if he sees any present. So I made a mental note to not add chocolates to the list of desserts.Kian and I planned the whole celebration by ourselves. After Williams betrayal, five years ago, we still found it difficult to trust people. We made good friendships with some of the parents of our children friends, but it was centered on the kids. We still kept our healthy boundaries.After I gave birth to the twins, Kian became even more overprotective. He didn’t
Lessia's POV: The room was growing darker, as it seemed that light was sipping away in every second as I pushed. I could feel every bit of energy I had in me slipping away.I struggled to steady by breaths, but I kept panting, even though the nurses assured me everything would be fine, I was still afraid for my child and myself.“Arghhh!” I screamed loudly as I felt another sharp pain.“Luna, just hold on tight, you’d be fine, you know your babies are two, so this will take a while, I need you to be strong for them.” The doctor said encouraging me, but her words could only do so little for me.“Arghhhh!” I screamed again. “I don’t think I can do this, I can’t anymore, please make it stop.” I yelled once more as the tears began to stream down my eyes.I had never felt this kind of pain before, it was so unbearable, like there was a machine inside of me constantly squeezing my insides. I want it to stop so bad.“Luna, I’m going to change your position, okay? The nurse will hold you an
Lessia's POV As I walked out of the building, the feeling of fulfillment and satisfaction engulfed my being. I could smell the disdainful surprise on that saucy receptionist as I walked past him. I could tell he did not expect to see me beautifully dressed in the level of confidence I waxed in as I left. It was so obvious he expected to see a broken and downcast woman different from the one that had walked in just moments earlier. That only heightened my pride and the self fulfillment I was already acquainted with.I knew they were all shocked to see me representing kian, because according to their Logic, women shouldn’t be involved in politics. However, I had learnt so much from Kian in so little time.The fact that he didn’t turn me down whenever I asked him about politics made me happy and important. When I was still with Maddox, he often treated me like it was a crime to have knowledge of politics. Whenever he was handling a matter and I wanted to be involved, he would tell me h
Lessia's POV: There I was at the so called Alpha Cabinet once more. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't keep the thoughts of what they tried to do to me and Kian before, out of my head. The walls of the building steadily resounded the voices, words and fingers of suspicion and accusations they pointed at us that day.I could still remember their faces in the blurry edge of my mind. I could still remember everything.But I was prepared that whatever I was going to be thrown at, I would be sure to defend myself in anyway and give it back to them in full force."Hello, I have an appointment with the Cabinet, I am to meet them in the chamber room" I said to the receptionist that mounted the entrance.There had been a change in location due to an incident that happened recently, so I wanted to be sure I was in the right place.Honestly, I preferred the new location, as it was closer to Kian’s pack. That way I felt safer, even though no where was 100% safe.I noticed the receptionist w
Lessia’s Pov Seeing Kian’s unconscious body lying on the floor filled me with so much adrenaline that I didn’t know when I stood up and started screaming for help.Kian’s body was lying besides Williams body, which gave me a nostalgic feeling once more, about how hospitals reek of the smell of blood and death.“Help, somebody please help us!” I screamed again, my voice echoing in the room. Soon, some nurses came running into the room. “Please the Alpha has been shot, I need you to help him immediately,” I yelled.They came back with a stretcher to take Kian, while I followed behind, until we got to a room where he was being attended to.“Luna, you have to wait here, while we attend to him.” A nurse said. I wanted to insist on going into the room with him, but that would only delay his treatment. So I sat patiently and let them do their jobs.While I was waiting for Kian, some of the pack soldiers arrived. The hospital must have alerted them, I thought.The leader approached me with
Kian’s Pov The confrontation with Williams continued. I couldn’t believe he had been the one responsible for all our misfortunes. I was shocked, to say the least, that all these while I had been so gullible to trust the enemy.It all made sense now, why he never trusted Lessia, how easy it was for Maddox to get into my pack to kidnap Lessia. He was the one who poisoned her and told Sonia about my allergies, so she could kill me as well. If they had succeeded, Lessia would have been helpless, I’m sure he would have sent her back to Maddox, to continue to be his sex slave.“You are beyond delusional, Williams, why would you think I would never fall in love and have my own family? Why would you think I would never find my own mate?”He looked at me in a standoffish manner, and soon burst into a fit of laughter.“Can you hear yourself, Kian? Before Lessia, how many people looked your way, huh? How many women actually there themselves at you? No one, Kian. No one. And you know why?” He c
Kian's POV “You can’t possibly me sure that Williams is the one responsible for your misfortunes.” Jason suggested, but I knew he was only playing kind games.“Tell me, you bastard. Did you make this all up just to distract me from the truth? Did you?” I questioned, baring my fangs into his skin, as blood slowly oozed out.“Why would I make this up, Kian? Of what benefit would it be to me? Besides I didn’t tell you it was Williams, you figured that yourself. Which is a huge breakthrough for you, as you’ve failed to do in the past years.”Jason’s words pricked me. All these while, I had been living with the enemy, eating and drinking with the enemy, telling all of my problems to the enemy.How naive could I be? How ignorant could I be? I chided myself. No wonder Maddox thought me to be a fool, he had been communicating with my Beta all along, right under my nose. That was why he was able to reach Lessia and even Kidnap her.Williams and Lessia. These were the only words that appeared
Kian's POV: Where I intended to begin my investigations was none other than Maddox's Pack house, which was now mine by virtue of conquering and Annexation. I knew that if there ever were a secret agent amongst us, that person would be in affiliations with Maddox.I had some friends in the packs close to his, so I sought for their help. Although, Maddox was a man of many secrets, I was hopeful we would find out something, he surely didn’t take them to his grave.I began to doubt Maddox’s death. We were informed he was dead, but no one ever saw his body, no one was invited to his funeral. Was he even buried? I had no idea. My friends didn’t as well.However, if he were alive, he wouldn’t be working alone. Even if he succeeded in infiltrating my pack, which I knew there was no way that would be the case. Someone had to have been feeding Maddox information, and there was no way it could have been Lessia. That was a main reason I couldn't take William's words as law. He was right for me
Kian's POV: I couldn't count the number of times Williams had told me not to worry on that day.How could one be so relaxed after finding out their mate was poisoned and almost lost their children in the process? Only a man like Williams would suggest that to you.Sometimes I wondered if this man felt things that normal people did. Because there was no way someone who had feelings would say that to me.“Are you saying this because you still don’t like Lessia?” I questioned him as he voiced my gaze.“I have nothing against the Luna, Kian. She’s your mate and the mother of the future heirs to the pack. What could I possibly have against her?”There was sincerity in his words. He had no reason to still dislike Lessia, maybe I was the one reading meaning I shouldn’t to his advice. I had always know Williams to be like that, so there was no need expecting him to be different when it came to Lessia.“You don’t understand, Williams. Someone is out to kill Lessia. First, she was being follo
