Kian's POV I got the invite for Maddox party, which wasn’t strange, owing to the fact that we were practically allies. But what I found strange was Maddox keeping me in the same room with Lessia.I wondered what game he was playing , I wasn’t sure what he was up to, but I knew I had to be careful. Any mistake made by me, could endanger Lessia.I picked up my phone from the bed stand, I hadn’t heard from William, so I decided to call him before I leave for the event.He picked after two rings. “How’s the weather?” His voice echoed through the phone.It was a coded message, used between us to know if everything is okay in the enemy’s territory.“The weather looks good, although it’s a bit cloudy.” I replied.He understood what I meant and we proceeded to talk about what it was that made me call him.“Well, I haven’t spoken to some of the Alpha’s, and while some of them are hesitant to join forces with us, some of them have agreed to.” William explained.“Well, that’s progress, I gues
Lessia’s Pov I began to refold the clothes I had already folded, as I had nothing else to do. I was bored of doing nothing. Maddox had been treating me like a princess, but even the princess treatment had its boring days.I sent for Lauretta, so I could have someone to discuss with. Even though I knew it would warrant her leaving her duty. I just didn’t want to be alone anymore, I was tired of being treated like a dog; they fed me, clothed me, make sure I had everything I needed, just to keep me caged at the end of the day.I heard a knock on the door and immediately knew it was Lauretta. “Come in,” I muttered.She opened the door and beamed at me. “Thank you for saving me, I was literally about to hang myself.” She said dramatically.“Yeah, Lauretta will hang herself because she’s tired.” I replied in the same sarcastic manner.“Okay, okay, madame. Why have you sent for me?”I sighed as I sat down on the bed. “I’m tired, Retta. I want to go out, I want to be free, I want to see the
Maddox POV: Allowing Lessia to choose who it was she wanted to be with came with as much troubles as I had thought it would come with. Now I had to compete with Kian to see who she would love the most.I missed those moments where I could force her to do my bidding. It was much easier, even though she never cooperated. At least I could get her into my bed without a hassle.Now that I have her a choice, I wasn’t even an option for her. She couldn’t even pretend to want me, she made it so obvious she was repulsed by me.“You’re playing with me, Lessia. You have no idea what I’m capable of. Your Kian could be dead if I want him to be.”She had no idea, how desperate I was to have her, I had missed the feel of her skin, her warm lips, her soft boobs, her pussy, every damn thing.My member is always up and ready to go whenever she is around. If only she knows the things she does to me.Lessia would be mine, I was certain about it. I just needed to find a way to eliminate Kian from the pi
Lessia's POV: Kian wasn't happy after Maddox ruined our date, and even I too was also not happy with it. Although we tried our best to ignore his shenanigans, we still were unable to enjoy ourselves to the fullest.I felt so exhausted. I was stuck in a love triangle with someone I loved and someone I barely cared about his existence.I wanted to leave with Kian the moment he arrived in Maddox pack m, but he told me he wanted to avoid war with Maddox until he was prepared, that is the only reason I was willing to endure.We came home with every one us fallen to a silence of tone. Despite that he was the main cause of the predicament, he still was unable to blame himself and seemed by far the most angry among us.He didn't speak to me and went to bed not so long after that night.And so, a day after that, we planned to go out once again, this time without giving the slightest hint to Maddox on what was about to happen.It was by night when Kian arrived at Maddox' Pack grounds, calling
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
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
