Lessia's POV: Kian held me in his arms everywhere I Intended to go to, while we were at home. He didn't spare me a moment of stress trying to do anything for myself. I found it to be a a very funny thing to do, but still I couldn't deny the sweetness behind the gestures.It was both our first child, so I kinda understood the overprotectiveness, but sometimes it got so overwhelming, that I wanted a break so bad.I once told him I was stronger than he thinks, I had been taking care of myself before I met him, so there was no point treating me like a child.His argument was “you’re carrying my child and you’re my mate. I need to protect you, as well as my child, at all cost. Whenever I said he was overreacting, he claimed he wasn’t.Despite my effort to convince him I was fine by myself, he still followed me around, doing everything for me. Food? Taking a shower? And even drinking water, he was always around to help me put the spoon in my mouth, bath me, and even hold the cup.At one t
Kian's POV Days after the wedding, and I still did not think that the event was enough to show Lessia just how happy I was that we had finally conquered all that was standing before our happiness, to show how grateful I was that she was carrying my child.I couldn’t have imagined my life, unfolding any other way, then the way it did presently. I was beyond elated.I no longer wanted to be involved in official matters, I only want to focus on Lessia and our child, to attend to their every need.Lessia teased me about being retired, but she had no idea how exciting it is for me to have a family of my own after losing my parents at such a young age. Lessia made me realize how alone I’ve been almost all my life, and how wholesome it is for me to have a partner.I wanted to show her how much I loved and cherished her, I didn’t care if it would take me the rest of our lives to do that. I had everyday to show her how much I love her.She was barely awake when I got up that morning to start
Lessia's POV It was such a fun time we had in the garden picnic that we decided that instead of naming a child that isn't born yet, we should instead, do something rather more tangible for it that was more concrete than names.Kian has been immensely excited about becoming a father, so much that I sometimes get scared the baby might come out sooner than it should.Earlier today, he asked what I thought the gender would be, so we could start shopping for clothes, as well as toys, I had to make him calm down, by reminding him it was still the early stage of my pregnancy and the baby wouldn’t be born anytime soon.He insisted on shopping, so we could get enough varieties for the baby. I knew I wasn’t winning the debate, so instead, I brought the idea of building a nursery. It seemed to be fun, with no downsides and, the fact that doing nothing at home, had got me really bored, I needed an activity to keep me pumping and going.Kian came home one with materials, complete with a book of
Lessia's POV: I found myself standing in the middle of a crowd. All of them, faceless men with accusing fingers pointed at me.They all wore suits, and their faces were blank with not a glimpse of anything one would refer to as as a characteristic of a face. Eyes, noses, lips, missing. Just a blankness with nothing to show as an identification."I didn't do It," I cried out, but lacking in any sense what I was really crying about. It seemed to be that my lips moved on their own. And in me I felt a huge sense of fear and guilt.“You all are hypocrites,” I roared.“Maddox Slater bought me from my family, to be his sex slave. He kept me as his prisoner for years, fucked me day and night, and decorated my body with injuries that would later become scars whenever I refused to let him fuck me, or I got him angry. None of you bloody hypocrites came to my aid then. Yet you all seat here accusing me of murdering the tyrant, when you all secretly wish he was indeed dead. I hope you all meet t
Lessia’s Pov The car rolled on, taking us to the Alpha’s cabinet. My feelings were still all mixed up about the meeting. Many of those Alphas are envious of Kian. For all we know, the meeting could just be a ruse to get him cornered so they could harm him or us.I insisted on going with guards, but Kian assured me nothing would go wrong. Still, I told Nicholas and some guards to come with us. I didn’t want us to be helpless in case anything went wrong.Kian sensed my worry, and held my hands, assuring me once more he had everything under control. I almost rolled my eyes at him. I wondered how he could be so confident, after we had just heard the news that Maddox Slater is dead and we have been summoned as the prime suspects.“Lessia,” he called. “We’ve been through tougher times than this, and in the end, we came out victorious. So, there’s no need to be scared. Okay?”I nodded in agreement, and we shared a kiss before he kept on driving.However, despite Kian assuring me over and o
Kian's POV While the first day was a stressful event, and we found ourselves being bullied by one of the Cabinet members to admit something we really had no idea in, I was still worried about what would come next.In the next trial, Lessia was accused of betraying her mate as well, and conniving with me to kill him. The only reason the trial didn’t push through was because of her pregnancy. She wasn’t feeling too well, so the trial had to be adjourned. Although, some of the cabinet members accused us of using Lessia’s pregnancy as an excuse to avoid the case.Lessia was really scared of what might happen. She complained heavily to me on how the entire Cabinet seemed to be a bias bunch and truly, I saw nothing in her words that I couldn't agree with."It's true. They are a bias bunch," I said. "The Alpha Cabinet has always been corrupt. But not corrupt enough to judge us without having concrete evidence. So don’t worry my love, we have a chance at this."Lessia still seemed less conv
Lessia's POV The thought of having to go to the court again made me sick, coupled with the fact that we were being accused of a crime we did not commit. Everything seemed extremely annoying. But in all, the evidence Kian had managed to find was my only happiness. I was certain that the case would finally be over and our name, cleared. My annoyance towards the entire situation fueled my reluctance to get out of bed. I laid there with my eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling furiously.The door suddenly creaked open and I jerked in it's direction. Kian looked so handsome in the black suit he wore. As he walked in, I smiled widely at him, but he watched me with bewilderment."Good morning, love." I greeted, totally ignoring the look on his face."What are you doing in bed at this time, honey? We're supposed to be on our way to the court, if not there already." His voice echoed earnestly."I'm trying to get some rest, Kian. This whole thing is stressing me out. The mere thought of it m
Kian’s POV It was refreshing to come back home with no guard from the Alphas Cabinet hounding behind us like dogs. It was truly refreshing in deed, and the wind blowing on to our faces as well, made it a more superb feeling. The feeling of freedom. The feeling of triumph.The crippling fear Lessia had when we were first summoned to the cabinet was now a distant memory. Despite how much Calvin taunted us and wanted us to be punished so bad for a crime we technically committed out of necessity, we were still able to prove our innocence to them.Lessia's smiles beside of me was yet another charm that kept me happy. Seeing her smile, made it occur to me that whether or not we had won, a happy her would be enough to pull me through the day. Any day at all. No matter how gloomy or sad I'd find myself in."I assume that you'd be throwing a party this evening," Lessia concluded, staring at me quite intricately on my face."Ugh, what am I supposed to say to that?" I asked sarcastically. "Of
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
