Lessia's POV: I did not understand Kian's behavior in the least. One moment he was saying something, the next he was saying another. His attitude was a hard ball for me to decode.I knew he was upset about the vase, but I didn’t have anything to do with it. I don’t know why he wouldn’t believe me. I would never hurt him on purpose.Why would I break a vase just like that? I’m definitely not a psychopath, neither do I hold any grudge against him, that I would deliberately do something to hurt him.But one thing I sure knew for me, was that I didn't like any of it. Either way, I realized I was famished, and as usual I couldn't skip food for anything in the world, not even for the deep uncertainty I was feeling at the moment. Not even for my annoyance for Kian.I made my way for the bathroom where I had my bath. After that I scurried out and got dressed in the cloth I found perfect enough for breakfast. For some reason, I intended looking nice for him. Despite everything he had just don
Kian's POV The maids scurried away as soon as I had told them to, leaving the place for just the both of us. I was pleased with that. I didn't know for myself what had come over me. What had once been annoyance had now morphed itself into hunger for her right there, right then.It was obvious that a sexual tension has lingered between us for a while. I desired Lessia, it was hard staying close to her without touching her. But I was upset, and I didn’t want my need to be intimate with her cloud my judgement. I would act this way, until I was certain that she didn’t break the vase. A good Alpha has to make decisions without being influenced by his mate’s pussy.I got back into kissing her. This time she didn't seem to be relenting. She grabbed me by my hair, rubbed her hands over my back and everywhere else. I could tell she was enjoying the kiss as much as I was, and she wanted me as much as I did her.Her nails dug in my skin, causing a pleasure pain sensation in me that drove me ev
Lessia's POV: I had a tussle in my conscience concerning how I had left Kian hanging his lips out in a kiss. A part of me was ridden with guilt, another, backed up with a reason, approved of it.I wanted that moment to last forever, if he were possible. I needed him to kiss me until I was out of breath, and assure me that he would always feel that way about me, no matter what happened.I was sick and tired of him being sweet for a second, and then rejecting me in the next second, like I was a play thing for him. He might have done that only once, but I couldn't stand to have him do it again. I was beginning to feel like he only wanted me for the sex. It wasn't that I gave that any mind—I did not. I liked him enough to let him do it, but if he was going to stick to that game, I might as well play it with him. That was the reason I left him that way.Before Kian, I never thought I deserved to be treated rightly, or that my feelings even mattered. But now, he had shown me the proper way
Kian's POV Seeing Lessia with the sword in hand, was not as surprising to me as much as seeing her with the guard—same guard I had seen her with last time, enraged me.If Nicholas was wise, he wouldn’t as much as breathe the same air as Lessia, after I let him off the first time. What type of guard did not understand that an Alpha does not appreciate the idea of seeing his mate with another man, even if it’s a guard, for no reason whatsoever.If he was deliberately being defiant, I would make sure he gets a suitable punishment for that.He was a young guard, with the look of a Roman god, the ones found in books. Even as a guard, I took note of the way maids acted around him. Many of them threw themselves at him without batting an eye. I’ve also heard them on so many occasions talk about his member. My mind wasn’t settled, what if Lessia—I shook my head immediately. I didn’t even want to think of that. Lessia was mine and mine alone. And she knew that.A lot of questions spun themsel
Maddox POV These past few months have been the most uneventful. I thought I was getting used to life without Lessia, but it seemed my obsession with her grew stronger and stronger, each day that passed by without her in my life.I had stopped sending her messages because they yielded nothing. I was a practical man, I needed results, not a constant rejection from someone I had bought from her own parents.I thought about her parents, I had bought her from them, what if I met them and threatened them to ask her to come back to me? I thought to myself.I was certain she loved her parents too much that she would rather see them dead than be with me. It was a good plan, I just needed a clear head space to think and plan it carefully. And that was what took me to my next location. A place I hadn’t visited in a while; a brothel.An awful lot of women were in the brothel as usual. One could see them dancing, having fun, drinking, and trying to catch their next costumer.My eyes danced across
Maddox POV: "What are you doing?" She said. "I did—""Shhh! Shut the fuck up, Lessia! You thought you could leave me and get away with it, huh? I bought you, you slut. You belonged to me, and only me. Not that stupid man you chose over me.”“I am really not Lessia, Sir, I am Lisa, the waitress at the bar whom you offered money to—““You know what happens when you defy me, Lessia. So don’t!”The fear in her eyes aroused me as much as it reminded me of her. I knew she wasn’t Lessia, but they looked very much alike, and it was fun practicing with her, what I would do to Lessia when she comes back to me."Who is Lessia?" she asked with her voice strained."I said, shut the hell up, Lessia," I thundered at her as I unleashed the belt on her body. She let out a scream. It caused me only arousal and made my cock erect.“Fuck, Lessia, the things you do to me, you have no idea how much I desire you, not even the slightest clue.”"Who are you? I don’t understand, I haven’t done anything to you
Kian's POV I was distraught by the news. Again, I thought. Once more, the Pack was under attack. I felt hopeless but still I didn't want to show it. Lessia was around. I didn't want to give her the slightest hint that I was beginning to get worried about the constant attacks from bandits.I knew she would think Maddox had something to do with it, and the fear might cause her to run away. I didn’t want to lose her, I know I’ve only been with her for a few months, but it seemed like I had been with her for a life time, and I couldn’t imagine my life anymore without her in it.When the guard informed me something had happened, she was just beside me, I didn’t want her to know what happened, so I asked her to stay. But Lessi was just too defiant."Stay here," I said before marching with the guard."No" she said defiantly, going on to follow behind me. Something I sort of expected, knowing who she was.I didn't have the time or energy to bicker with her so I ignored and continued moving f
Maddox' POV I couldn't help but feel guilt shred through my heart as I drove home. I looked through the glass windows of my car, at each side of the road, and sometimes, I would have the image of me flogging the daylights out of the Lisa girl obstruct my view, almost as if it was being showed right there on the glasses.I honestly didn’t plan to hurt her that way, but her resemblance to Lessia made me lose control of myself. I have never felt bad about punishing anyone, but this Lisa girl seemed to have gotten to me in ways I didn’t understand.She hadn't expected it to turn out like that. Even I too was shocked with the twist my actions took. For a second, I began wondering if she might even wake up. She was so beat up that she could barely lift up her eyelids to look at me.I was a monster, I thought to myself. Something about what happened with Lisa, made me not want to ever hit anyone again. I promised myself I would see her again if I could, and would try to correct my mistake.
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
