Chapter 126“Ronan! Ronan! Do not try anything stupid! I’ll kill everyone who is important to you if you touch my mother!” Eric yelled out like a mad man.Ronan’s eyes twinkled with excitement, or amusement. He stared at Eric, the smile on his face widening.“My informant must have made a mistake. He came telling me that she’s your grandmother. Is the woman not old enough to be your mother? I’m thinking….” Ronan said, walking away from the cell and turning to face the elders,“Do you know that old and frail people would die at once? All I need is push her down mistakenly, and make sure she hits her head on a rock or something, and boom.” He paused, adding the voice effect of boom.“She’s dead.” He finished before turning to Eric whose eyes were now blazing with anger.He gruntted out, gritting his teeth together with his eyes wide open, “I swear to God Ronan, I’ll kill you if anything happens to her. I’ll kill everyone in this pack, even those that have no idea of anything!” He yelled
Chapter 127Lena’s head whipped to the back like a flash, her heart rushing to her throat and all the nerves in her body stopping at the sight of the person in front of her. She gulped down, shaking her head and taking some steps back. Her face was in absolute denial, not wanting to believe the same man that she has once loved, cared for and the same man that put her through series of torture was now standing in front of her with a knife on Stacey’s neck.“Hello, my little thing.” Lucien said, smiling towards Lena before moving forward with Stacey.Stacey’s heart was beating frantically on her chest. She gulped down, the coldness of the metal hitting her. All the elders stood up from the chairs they were seating, taking multiple steps back as he moved towards ronan,“You hit him one more time, I slit her throat. Try me.” Lucien warned again.Ronan stared at Lucien with a lot of emotions running through him. It has been years, years that he saw this same face that has haunted him in hi
Chapter 128The woman’s eyes darted from Lucien to Eric on the floor, her eyes widening as she screamed out suddenly. She yanked herself out of the guard’s hands, rushing towards the cell and gripping it bold.“My son! My son! My son!” She yelled out, turning back to Ronan. She rushed to him, going down on her knees immediately as tears streamed down her face.“I followed you here without hesitation, I did all you asked me to do! I did everything you wanted me to do. Please save my son. Please. Please save my son.” She pleaded, rubbing Ronan’s foot.Ronan was still in shock, she had heard her call Lucien by his name, and also him reply with mother. He glanced at Lucien whose eyes were still on the woman, this time blaring dangerously at her. Suddenly Stacey walked towards him and pulled the woman up,“We’ll save your daughter, but we need to get you somewhere safe first.” She said, looking up at Ronan who understood immediately.Lucien’s loud laugh echoed through the entire room, get
Chapter 129“Just give me the girl, and I’ll leave. I have no intentions of destroying your little pack either way.” He added.Stacey turned back, rushing out of the room and leaving Ronan with him. Ronan sighed, turning to meet Lucien’s eyes that were twinkling with excitement. His eyes went to Eric’s dead body on the floor, surprised that he was not even feeling a twinge of remorse for him.“Don’t worry. He needed to be taken out as soon as possible. He’s the kind of person they call, "green snake under green grass.”“And you? People like you are called what?” Ronan spat at him.“I don’t need to hide my true nature from anyone. I'm the devil of all devils, the alpha of all alphas, I kill as I want, and when I’m feeling like it, but him,” he paused and pointed at Eric’s dead body.“He’ll keep his true nature, biting you at your back stealthily and carefully and one day, he’ll reveal himself and the situation would not be in your control anymore.”“Is that why you sent Uncle Bernard h
Chapter 130Ronan disengaged from the hug, placing a kiss on Stacey’s forehead. “What’s wrong?” He asked, tucking her hair at the back of her ear and staring into her eyes.Stacey just held him, staring back into his eyes with a small smile on her lips. She didn’t know why, but with him she felt more content, all the fears she had when Lucien held her, looked at her, smiled at her and even called her was all gone.“What’s going to happen now? Eric is dead. Lucien is our captive. What do you plan on doing now?” She asked.Ronan sighed, peeling her hands off him and taking one in his palm. They continued walking towards the house, trying to think of what to do.“What do you think I should do?” He asked. “I think you should do something about Lucien quickly. If Eric was working for him, you don’t know who else in this pack is working for him. And we can’t trust anyone now, not the guards, not the elders, not anyone.” Stacey replied.Ronan’s brow carved as he remembered both Janiya and
Chapter 131Immediately the meeting finished, Ronan trooped out with the elders only to see some maids and the pack doctor carrying Trish’s body out of the room.“Stop.” He walked towards the covered body, opening it to see claw marks on her neck. He swallowed painfully, feeling a stab in her chest. Even though she was not entirely a good person, she still did not deserve all of this. “Did anyone see anything that happened? Anyone that went to her room? Where was her body found?” He asked.“In her room, your highness. Her body was found on the floor. It seems like there was a struggle before she was finally killed, more like the killer did not want her dead but after a while did it out of anger.” The pack doctor said. Ronan clenched his jaw, taking another look at the marks. He furrowed his brows all of a sudden, recalling the marks. His brow went deeper, trying to remember the claw marks on Eric’s neck. He scrunched his face up before covering the body back up,“Follow me.” He ord
Chapter 132 Ronan cleared his throat as he stood in front of the whole pack, his eyes roaming around them all. Clenching his jaw, he lowered his gaze for a split moment before looking up at them again.“For two days now, I’m sure all of you must have been wondering what is going on in the pack. And I assure you that everything will be explained thoroughly.” “My name is Ronan Linghann, Alpha to this pack and the rightful Alpha to the Lowry’s pack where you all know the devil is the alpha to that pack.”Murmurs filled the room, everyone whispering into each other's ear. “Ten years ago, my parents were murdered in cold blood by some of the elders and the beta of the pack just for power, leading for the rest of us here to run for our lives and settle in this pack. And in these ten years, we’ve been fighting to get what belongs to us and also make everything comfortable for all of you. But suddenly…” He paused, lowering his gaze again and looking at the elder beside him,“We discovered
Chapter 133The news of Ronan mating spread through every pack, both neighboring and those that are not the neighboring packs. Coupled with the fact that he has announced that he was the rightful owner of the pack where Lucien was leading, all the packs were in turmoil, each alpha deciding on who they should follow.In cases like this, war was always going to break out, no matter what. And it would be the best to side with the pack that you think best would win. Stacey’s power rang in each of their ears, the power of the moon goddess in a wolf was something that was surprising, bringing more guests to the mating ceremony.Stacey was pacing back and forth in her room that afternoon, the maids on standby while Lena laid down on the bed, her eyes following Stacey as she kept pacing.“Is there anything you'd like to tell me Stacey? On why you’re so nervous?”“I’m getting married. I’m getting mated to him, and you think it’s not a big deal!” Stacey almost yelled out.Lena signaled to the m
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
