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
Kian's POV: On a beautiful morning, a day after I had taken her out on a date, we were having breakfast, Lessia sat as usual, just beside me when I noticed that she was looking paler than she usually was.It felt like she was losing blood, she was skinnier, I hadn’t really taken note of the change, because I had been busy trying to find the person who had been following her, but there was an obvious difference in her weight."Is anything wrong, Lessia?" I asked, also noticing that she was barely touching her food.As if she was lost in thought, she jolted up. Her eyes looking as wild as the summer sun."Uhm, I do not know," she breathed. She sounded really indeed tired, barely even able to say her words like they were heavy on her mouth and tongue. "I woke up with a little headache that's all. You ought not to worry my love."Well, I believed that was too late to say. I was already a worried man, watching as she gave a shy smile, her pink lips dressing up her face in the most pretti
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
