Maddox's POV I went up to her room to see how she was doing after I supposedly ruined her last date with that unfortunate fool, Kian. The last time I saw her was at breakfast that morning. She had refused to speak to me, and I had returned the same energy. I thought she would be pleased and would instantly fall for me if I offered her as little as a mumble of an apology.She had to see reasons with me. There was no way I would have been happy letting her go out with Kian. No one would be happy seeing their mate with another man.However, Lessia’s situation and mine was complicated. She comes from a family where the females usually had two mates. Because of this, so many things have been said about her bloodline, but I guess the moon goddess had a reason for it. Cause even I couldn’t understand it, no matter how hard I tried.Seeing Lauretta positioned just close to the door of Lessia's room seemed a little suspicious but I tried not to think anything of it. They were friends even w
Lessia's POV: "Pregnant?" Maddox let out in surprise. "How?"“I mean, of course we have sex often, she’s my mate, I’m just surprised that she’s pregnant.” His words irritated me and I felt nothing but anger for him at that point.We both knew that Kian was the father of my child, why he was making it seem like I was his mate, we are together and I am carrying his child, was what I couldn’t understand.I wished I could scream and tell everyone that Kian is the father of my child.He looked at me. His eyes searching for the little bit of explanation from my eyes. I did not say a word to him even though I was equally as confused as he was.After the doctor left, his smile faded as he turned to face me."What is the meaning of this, Lessia? he yelled. "Who is the father?"I still did not answer any of the questions and instead slept on the bed, my eyes dancing from his eyes to the door.It seemed he became more annoyed and walked up to me, placing both his hands on both sides of the bed,
Lessia’s Pov I blinked as the morning light sipped through the room, illuminating it. I struggled to adjust my eyes to the rays of the sun. Squinting, I woke up slowly.“Another day in Maddox’s house. Arrrghh!”I was beginning to lose track of time, being imprisoned in this house. Although, he didn’t treat me like a prisoner anymore, or a sex slave, I still felt that way. It was only a matter of time before I lose my mind.My mind drifted to Kian, thinking about how much I wanted to be with him again. I remembered the last time I saw him, it was as though we shouldn’t leave each other’s arms forever. But Maddox just had to ruin everything. I wished he would choke on his own breath, or roll of a cliff while taking a casual stroll. I didn’t care much for how it would happen, I just needed him to be out of I and Kian’s life for good.I decided not to focus on the evil Maddox Slater, but rather Kian. Thoughts of him made me feel like I wasn’t alone anymore. I knew I would always have hi
Lessia's POVWhose baby? I beamed with joy after the doctor made the announcement, that I was okay. I had fainted after Maddox announcement, and a doctor was asked to do a check up on me.Instinctively placing my hand on my tummy, as it dawned on me that I was indeed pregnant. There was a life growing inside of me, whom I needed to protect from the vileness of the world, and most importantly; Maddox Slater.However, my excitement was cut short, when the doctor called Maddox the father of my child. I had no idea what was going on. I did not remember having any form of sexual intercourse with Maddox. Why was it said that the baby was his?I was getting tired of Maddox’s schemes, he could play his games when it came to anything, but not my child. I felt so protective of my baby, already. “Maddox, I do not know whatever game you’re playing, but I promise you, I won’t let you win.” I muttered lowly.I thought about it even as we perched in the car going home. I did not say a word in the e
Kian's POV: I overheard everything that went on behind the door of Maddox' office. Although I had found myself a bit unsure and angry at the doctor's words, what I how heard from behind the door of Maddox' office cleared all my supposed doubts.Maddox was trying to make it seem like the baby was his, when it was obvious it wasn’t.All he did at the hospital was to spite me. I knew Lessia was very repulsed by him, so there was no way she would have sex with him always she was forced.Then it struck me, Maddox used to force his way with her, what if he did after he kidnapped her?I shook my head at the thought of it. He knew better than to attempt something like that with her. It would make my case against him stronger.Maddox was a mad man, one who didn’t care about rules. But right now, that his pack was at its weakest point, he was smarter than that.The child was mine, Maddox being the unscrupulous fellow that he was, typically, must have manipulated the results, or even have paid
Kian's POV: I was still overwhelmed with the news that I was going to be a father. I was even more glad that Lessia was the mother of my child, I couldn’t have had it any other way. I looked forward to the birth of my child already.My mind drifted to the incident of Maddox forcing himself on Lessia, the fact that I couldn’t do anything, despite how angry I was. It was his pack, I was alone and any foolish mistake I mad would have put Lessia in danger.It was a tough struggle to control myself from killing him. But I knew at that moment, I would kill Maddox Slater eventually, when the opportunity present itself.I just needed to find a way to get back at him for what he did to Lessia.Although, the attack on Maddox pack was successful, as well the mission to make him lose all his money, it didn’t yield the results I expected.The plan was to make him totally helpless, that his priorities are shifted from Lessia to something entirely different. However, it didn’t work.Lessia had tol
Kian's POV I ran to where he had left Lessia and held her close for a moment, trying to comfort her. She forced a smile as she shuddered, clearly traumatized. But as I looked out the window through which he had jumped out, I could see him scurrying towards the woods, violently flinging the blood stained knife to the ground.“Are you alright, babe?” I asked, scanning her body for injuries.She nodded her head in affirmation.I looked around for a bottle of water, it was the least I could give her at the moment to help her.I turned back to Lessia and gently let her on a couch in the room, gave her the bottle of water and set off after Maddox. He staggered as he ran, pressing against his wounded shoulder, obviously in pain.I could see the blood drip down the side of his hand as he made for the thick bushes. I ran after him, with so much viciousness as he ran past the branches whacking his face without pity. I cut them down aggressively as they came for my face.This was pretty much t
Kian’s Pov It was a very overwhelming day for me, I could feel all the emotions at once. I smiled, as I remembered the first time I met Lessia. She had been running from Maddox. At first, I didn’t want to get involved, because I knew she was a sex slave who belonged to an Alpha.However, finding out she was my mate, was the rude awakening. The moment I stared into those eyes of hers, I got lost. I knew then that there was no way I would ever let her go. She belonged to me and with me.A knock on the door pierced through my thoughts. It was William. He appeared in his usual stoic manner. I wondered if this man ever gave himself time to have fun, or if he was even familiar with what the word fun meant.“Good morning, Kian. I guess you’re really doing this; marrying Lessia.”I raised my brows at him, wondering why he would ask me such, when he knew very well that there was no going back. I had made the decision already. Besides, I have always wanted to.“She’s the mother of my child, s
