Chapter 150“I don’t know. When will all of this stop? When would we finally be able to live happily with no disturbance?Before Lena could reply, the door opened and two guards entered followed by Lucien. They released their hands and turned to face him, eyes full of surprise.“The guards heard someone shouting. What’s the matter? Is she stressing you out, little girl?” Lucien questioned.Stacey stood up, walking towards Lucien and falling to her knees.“I'd like us to come to a deal. I’ll do whatever you want and you let us be. Let the pack be, let everything be.”Lena rushed towards her, pulling her up and going on her knees when she could not carry Stacey.“She has been doing a lot of thinking and that’s why she’s talking that way. Do not mind her.”“Stacey, come to your mind now. This is not the time for you to come to a deal. We have a plan. We stick to it.” She mindlinked her.“Tell me everything you want. My powers! What exactly?” Stacey said, ignoring Lena’s words.Lucien smi
Chapter 151The first thing that woke Lucien up the next morning at the door, the heavy knocking on the door to be precise. He yawned out, checking his side to meet Stacey still sleeping. His lips curled up in a small smile before standing up and approaching the door. He opened it to see a guard standing in front of it, his head lowered to the ground.“Your highness, we’re under attack presently.”All the sleep and drowsiness in his eyes disappeared immediately, slamming the door close as he saved the guard,“What do you say?”“We’re under attack. Some people from some packs are here, and they’re demanding to see you. Without you, they won’t leave.” He added.“Take me there.” He ordered.The guard led the way while Lucien followed suit. His lips curled up into a wide grin, a smirk at the corner of it too. He knew this was going to happen, he didn’t just think it would happen too soon. Did the alpha miss his mate so much that he could not wait for at least a week or two months before co
Chapter 152Ronan smiled back at him, shaking his head as he walked towards him again.“Best believe your ambitions would be the death of you.” He replied.“Then at least I can draw you with me to my death.” He turned back on Lucien, walking away with the people he had brought. He has gotten what he wanted, and he was so glad they were both in healthy conditions. The ride back home was silent. Both he and Stacey were in a carriage, Lena and some other guards in another one. They sat in silence, not saying a word to each other. Ronan was scared of asking her why she was in Lucien’s room. He didn’t even want to talk about it because the thought of it made her angry. Did he force her with him? Did he ask her to do anything she doesn’t like? As they approached the pack, he could see the alphas lined up, their soldiers and wolves at their backs .“Were you going to attack everyone before? Or why are there so many people?”“Lena was in danger. I see no reason why I should not attack.” Ron
Chapter 153Ronan lowered his gaze, his fist curled up into a ball and his teeth being gritted together.“Stacey..“What exactly do you want to hear Ronan? That I had sex with him? That I was in his bed while he put on a show of people that made me horny! That all my scars are gone thanks to him? Tell me, why didn’t you leave me there?”“You went to his room on purpose Stacey. You thought you could change everything. You wanted to make a stupid deal and you went there! Tell me! Just for what! For what exactly!” He yelled to her face.Stacey relaxed, gulping down as she stared at him. Tears threatened to start forming but she looked up, trying to stop it from swelling in her eyes.“I don’t know what to tell you Ronan, I really don’t know what you want to hear.”“Say something tangible Stacey. That’s all I want to hear! What did you do with Lucien! What did you do with him! Is that so hard for you to say!”“Yes Ronan, because I can’t remember anything that happened to him. So yes.” She
Chapter 154The relationship between Stacey and Ronan was getting rockier. Stacey moved to her room, deciding not to say anything more to ronan. She was exhausted, trying to get to him or talk when he didn’t want to have anything with her. Ronan stayed in his room too, having the elders meeting and also meeting with alphas with no interaction with his mate. Stacey has just finished dressing up that morning, feeling in high spirits for something she had no idea about. She has woken up, accepted her new body, taken her bath and dressed pretty. She has been indoors for most of the days, crying herself to sleep and now decided she didn’t have to continue. A knock on the door interrupted her when she was almost done.“Come in.” She said, The door opened as Lena entered, a big smile on her face as she stretched out some big pair of earrings. Stacey’s face remained the same, not looking happier or looking excited to see her.“Hey..what’s wrong?” Lena asked as she closed the door.Stacey ma
Chapter 155Stacey sat down on the table to have breakfast, savoring each bite as she took it. Her mind was free of worries, it was as if she was now living in a new world, a world that was hers and hers alone. The door opened as she looked up to meet Ronan walking in. Her hand halted in mid air as he stopped in his tracks too. For days now they’ve not seen each other, or talked to each other. She lowered her gaze back to her food and continued eating but her heart was now beating rapidly against her chest. He sat down opposite her, eating in silence as the maids started to serve him. She didn’t rush herself, or even glance up to make conversation with him. He did the same too, focusing on his food without looking up at her. Immediately Stacey finished eating, she drank her water, wiped her mouth and stood up. “Are you not going to say anything to me?” He said, stopping her in her tracks.Stacey sighed down, turning back to face Ronan and bowing.“I’m sorry, your highness. Is there
Chapter 156“What? What do you mean?” Lucien asked, his brows furrowed as he caught up with Stacey.Glancing at the hand on her arm, she looked up at him as he immediately released her, taking some step back away from her.“What do you mean by Lena telling Lucien about everything?”“You should ask her. Not me. Am I not the one having sex with him? Do you think you would want to tell me something like that?” She said, eyeing him annoyingly before walking out of the place. Ronan watched her leave, his head in turmoil. He chased after Stacey, blocking her way to pass.“I’m sorry, okay. I’m so sorry for pushing you away. I’m so sorry for not believing you. I’m sorry for the words I said to you. I was just angry that Lucien had the right to touch you.“He didn’t even touch me! We didn’t do anything! I’m just remembering that it was his priestess that touched me, taking the scars off and he just stood there.”“But still he saw you, he saw you naked stacey.”Stacey smiled, looking away from
Chapter 157Lena opened her eyes to darkness, sweats laced on her forehead as she tried to find light in the darkness. She sat up, trying to reach out to the bed lamp beside her and managing to turn it on. A yawn escaped her lips, finding out that she was the only one inside. Groaning, she fell back to the bed with her eyes staring wide at the ceiling.For the past days, she has been feeling down, recalling all the things she did back when she was young and feeling guilty for it. And not to talk, Stacey now knows that she’s feeding Lucien with information. She closed her eyes and clenched her jaw, not sure of what to think of herself. Was she more a betrayer? Or even someone worser than that as she was selling her family out? She climbed down after a while and had just taken the first step towards the door when the door opened, revealingvdtacey with a tray. She halted in her tracks, Stacey doing the same too as their gaze remained firm on each other for a moment. After a while, Stacey
KELEIGH’S POV My father’s claws gleamed in the light of the overhead lamp of the room as he raised his hand in the air, preparing to swipe. My breath caught in my throat as I pressed against the wall he had roughly pushed me into in a rage after he had caught I and Jake in the act of canoodling. He roared in fury as he bore down on Jake. I could understand why he was so enraged. Jake was the Alpha of the Moonlight pack, and my father was the Alpha of our pack, the Wesselton Pack. Both our packs have been in a bloody feud for so long that no one even remembered how it started in the first place. Countless wolves from both packs had died for generations over this feud. And Jake was about to be the next person. “My daughter!” My father growled at him. "How dare you!" My heart galloped with panic as I stared at the scene in front of me. My father in a state of half-shift, his clothes already partly torn from it. Jake, pinned below him, his eyes filled with so much fear and shock as he
The next evening, the carriage carrying Lena pulled up in front of the house, and she could barely contain her excitement as she rushed inside. She felt her wolf twirl and jump at the back of her mind in happiness, and at first she was going to ask her wolf why she was acting up but decided against it, she was here for her family.She had travelled far and wide, but there was always something different about coming home, even if it wasn’t her home anymore and she didn’t want to waste the time she had with them over some feeling.Ronan and Stacey were home to her, the one place she could always come back to no matter how long it gets or how far she had gone across the world.The change of scenery did her good. For the first time ever, she was living her best life, one that revolved around her existence and not around a certain male. It took her a while to adjust to the new environment she settled in but once she was able to, she realised how much time she has wasted on someone who clear
NINE MONTHS LATERStacey sat on a couch, her large belly protruding as she tried to find a comfortable position. She was more than tired of being pregnant and more than ready to have the babies out of her.She loved the connection she felt with her children but she hated how her legs got swollen at the slightest discomfort. The children always chose the wrong times to be active. When she would want some rest would be the times that they wanted to kick around.She was grateful to Ronan for being the understanding man that he was. She had poured most of her frustration and mood swings on him, yet all her ever did was make sure that she was okay and if she needed anything.She started to feel contractions on the early hours of the morning and she thought it was time. The doctor was sent for and he told them to wait for some time before confirming if it wasn’t just cramps that Stacey was feeling but the actual labour.Ronan paced the room, running his hands through his room. They had been
It has been a few weeks since Ronan proposed to Stacey. He wasted no time in starting preparations for it. He was more than eager to finally wed her.The set date came by so fast everyone became busy trying to get everything to fit perfectly as it should.The wedding decorations were made in a vast open field, surrounded by talk grass and wildflower just like Stacey wanted. The wedding planner had strung lights across the field, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The light twinkled in the evening air, giving the space a magical feel.The centre of the field had been transformed into a beautiful altar area. The wedding arch was decorated with fresh flowers and greenery, creating a stunning backdrop for the bride and groom. The aisle was lined with more flowers and flickering candles, leading the way to the altar.Guests took their seats on hay bales covered with soft lace and while cushion cover, set up in a circular arrangement around the altar. The flowers and decorations were
Ronan returned to his pack with his mate and sister. The whole commotion had died down now that Eric and Chris had been captured.By now, news had spread about Ronan being Alpha of all Alphas had spread like wild fire across packs. The other packs were already giving his the respect they should now that he was king among them.He walked Stacey to their room to get settled in and to have get some rest after the tedious journey they have had. He allowed her to take a bath so that she could feel refreshed before tucking her into bed.“Do you need anything else love?” he asked, making sure that she was okay.“No, I’m fine thank you. Can you send some maids over on your way out? I’ll have them whip something for me to eat, I’m famished.” Stacey replied, rubbing her bump that was beginning to show.“Of course love. Have someone send for me if you need anything else alright? I’ll see you soon.” Ronan cupped her face with one hand and kissed the other side of her face before standing up from
Ronan and Lena rushed out of the house at the sound of the carriage coming in. They didn’t know what to expect but they were ready for anything.As the carriage pulled up and came to a stop, Ronan saw both Eric and Elder Chris stepping out. He felt anger bubbling inside him.But his rage was dampened by the sight of Stacey sleeping soundly in the carriage. Ronan wanted to wake her up to make sure she was alright, but the pack doctor whom Lena had sent for intervened insisting that she should be left alone to rest up.“Alpha, don’t. She looks exhausted. Given her condition, it is wiser to let her get all the rest she can get right now.” The doctor said to Ronan, his eyes scanning over Stacey for any visible injuries.Ronan wanted her in his arms, his stubbornness wanted her with him, awake or not. Once again the doctor stepped forward, his hand out to stop Ronan.“She’s been through a lot, Alpha. Let her rest for now. We’ll take care of her.Ronan reluctantly let the maids take Stacey
Ronan sat still in his seat, watching and trying to pay attention to what was being said about his mate getting rescued, but his heart felt numb not being able to be close to her. For a moment he felt like it was his fault she was kidnapped. If he had followed her when she ran off after his rejection, she would be by his side right now. He cursed himself for being dumb, not to have caught up with her.But were his feelings after being rejected wrong?“Alpha Ronan?!” one Alpha called, trying to get Ronan to focus. We’re waiting for an answer.” The man said.Ronan cleared his throat and turned to face the man. “What was it you said?” he asked, propping his elbows on the table to lean forward.“I was suggesting that you not worry about finding your mate. We will come up with something and rescue her for you. We’ve started investigations already; we’ll let you know if we find something.”Ronan nodded at the suggestion, his face void of any emotion. His heart though broken held anger, wait
Chapter 194In less than 24 hours, Ronan has sent letters to every alpha that has requested his presence, asking them to organize a meeting and call him to order. He doubled the forces that were cleaning the pack, making sure everything was intact. After the alpha’s meetings, he planned on releasing Eric to them, also announcing to each and every pack that the fight affected what happened and how it happened. He was in the carriage, riding out in the night to the place where the meeting was to be held. His heart was in his throat, Lena seated beside him in silence. His head could only think of one thing, and that is to get Stacey out of the lion’s den as quickly as possible. He sighed for the umpteenth time, earning a glance from Lena who proceeded in his footsteps and sighed too. His hand ran through his hair, confusion and fear coursing through him. He couldn’t understand how and when she got pregnant and how they both didn’t notice at all. And he was scared, he had promised to h
Chapter 193Lena was already waiting in the office as Ronan got in, annoyance in her eyes as he walked to his chair and took his seat. “So who were you fucking Lena? A guard? Who exactly?” He inquired. “Who could it be? One of your numerous alphas or what?” She retorted back, eyeing him. “You know that you would be disrespected if you keep fucking them. Find someone you like and try to settle with them, it's better than just having sex with every one of them all around.”She hummed in response, clicking her tongue as she rolled her eyes at him, “just because you’ve found love or found someone who likes you doesn’t mean that we’ve found ours too. Get to the point here Ronan, what did you want to see me for?” She asked. Ronan sighed, tapping his hand on the table as he gazed at her. His eyes were focused directly on her face, wanting to see her reaction. He didn’t know why he had doubts about Lena in his heart, probably because of the issue with her giving Lucien information about t
