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 POV: I smiled as Kian’s notifications popped up on the screen. He had been sending me a couple of naughty texts, since he read in a book that pregnant women were extra horny.I once asked him if that was we the only thing he learnt from the book about pregnant women. He insisted that was the one that piqued his interest the most.Hey Lesi, just a reminder that if you need to brush up some things, or parts, I am on call away, or flight rather, cause I will literally fly to you. XoxoI was already exhausted from replying the ton of messages he sent, so I placed my phone on the vanity table, and stood at the balcony, thinking about how far I’ve come since running away from Maddox.Prior to when I left his pack, if one had told me that I would ever be free from his clutches, I would have never believed, I would have probably thought the person was crazy, however, here I was, with the love of my life and a child on the way, since I left him.All had been going well, a bit all to
Lessia’s Pov As I groggily opened my eyes, the rays of the sun entered into the room, filtering through the curtains. I glanced at the wall clock to know what time it was. It was a few minutes past 10 am and I realized I had overslept. This pregnancy made me lazier than ever, and Kian didn’t even help to abate that. He kept insisting I should rest at any opportunity that presented itself.Sometimes, I would stubbornly refuse him, just to be able to leave the house, but he insisted I didn’t leave without the guards trailing behind me.Kian wasn’t in the room, I guessed he had probably gone to a meeting. It definitely had to be something very important for him to leave without saying goodbye.I felt a bit sad that I didn’t wake up to him beside me, cuddling and smiling at me, but I understood that he had some important things to attend to, and we can’t always be together in our room cuddling all day. He was an Alpha, which came with a great amount of responsibilities, one he couldn’t
Lessia's POV: I had an appointment at the hospital. The doctor was to do some antenatal check ups on me. She took my blood sample, a urine sample, my weight, measured everything that was measurable. I laid down on the bed waiting for results and watched the ceiling fan above my whirl around, creating coolness in the room.I hated being in hospitals because they usually had the smell of blood and sometimes death. Maybe it was because a couple of loved ones I had all died in the hospital.Each time I went to a hospital, I had this nostalgic feeling, and I always wanted to leave as quickly as possible. The only reason I endured coming here was because of my baby. I needed to ensure it was healthy, and to do that, I had to get used to going to the hospital. Kian often accompanied me, but he was busy, so I had to go alone.I glanced at my phone occasionally, to see if he had called or texted, but I hadn’t gotten any notification from him. Maybe he was really busy and he would call when h
Lessia's POV: It already was dawning on me that I had made a mistake. Kian’s face could show it. A look of worry smeared on the color of his eyes were more than enough to tell me just what he was thinking. The news had made him furious.Initially, I didn’t want to tell him about it, but our child was involved, so I had no choice but to let him know about it.Things had been going pretty well, after we were summoned to the Alphas cabinet, but I still had the strange man’s threat on my mind. He did say he would make us pay for what happened to Maddox, since he insisted we were guilty, so maybe he had decided to act on his threats."You said you were followed? By who?" he asked, I didn't know if he really did mean the question or was just being sarcastic. I knew that he surely wasn't being sarcastic so it left me with the option of assuming he was being serious and really wasn't listening to his words.Before I could answer the first two questions he hit me with a third. "Why did you n
Kian's POV: “Lessia, come on, don’t be like that.” I pleaded, as I knocked on her room door. I had been standing there for over thirty minutes, but she still didn’t budge.After our not so little altercation, Lessia had been locked up in her room, refusing to come out, even to eat. She had the maids bring her food to her in the room, she never let them inside, they handed over the food to her at the door and came back to pick it outside the room whenever she was done.She had been avoiding me as well. My calls, text messages. Even when I went to her room occasionally to reach out to her, all she gave me was a defeating silence that seemed to pierce my heart.I didn’t know what else to do to make it up to her. But one thing is for sure, I wasn’t going to change my mind about her security protocols, no matter how angry she was.I knew how upsetting and hard it was for her to have been told by me not to leave the Pack house. It was an equally hard decision for myself to make as well. B
Lessia POV "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine; you make my happy when skies are gray. You'd never know how, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away..."I sang while I stroked my belly, imagining just how much life would become different when I finally would finally give birth. Would things still be as they were? Would I still be caged in? I did not want to think about it, but still I couldn't help but doing so."I'd sing this song to you when you come," I said to my slightly bulging belly.Singing about sunshine, for some reason made me imagine of a place and time, filled with bright sweet scenting flowers, nice flowing wind, and bright blue clouds. There was a calmness that enveloped around me every time I heard or sang the song.I had been getting really pissed off and annoyed lately. I knew it had something to do with the pregnancy, but still I couldn't deny the fact that much of it was caused by Kian banning me from going outside. Thinking about it had already
Lessia’s Pov Kian hadn’t said a word to me since we got into the car. I didn’t know if I was more concerned with the fact that he wasn’t talking to me, or I was just worried about what he could do to the guards that were with me when I was attacked. I shrieked at the thought of the extent at which he would go to prevent me from getting attacked once more, and the punishment he had for the guards.I explained to him that it wasn’t entirely their fault, I was upset about them following me around, so I asked them to wait outside the mall for me, and that was when the attack took place. Certainly, the culprits must have known that I wasn’t with security, that’s why they were bold enough to attack me.However, Kian still blamed them for not arriving in time to help me, even though I told him they did. My mind was frazzled, as I thought of so many reasons why I was attacked at the mall.There was no one I had upset, even at the Alphas cabinet, I tried my best to keep my cool, I avoided ar
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
