Chapter 114“We’ve been waiting.” Lucien said after washing his hand, turning back to face Eric with a smile on his face.“And I’ve been making sure I don’t get caught yet. So pardon me if I’m late.” Eric replied, taking his seat and crossing his leg as he stared at Lucien.Lucien lips curled up into a smirk. If it was any other person who wasn’t important to him, they would have their head on the ground already, their soul alrwady taken by the Angel of death.“What do you have for me this time?”“It worked.” Eric replied.“What worked?”“The same hallucination that was used on his father is working on him. They’ve had their first sex.”“With your mate?”Lucien said with a stroke of his chin.“She doesn’t belong to me. They’re all the same thing.” He refuted.An aMusing smile was on Lucien face as he kept on staring at Eric. Why would the beta of a pack betray his alpha for someone who brought all of their downfall. He stood up, placing his arms at this back as he started pacing back a
Chapter 115The table was really silent the next day and everyone had a long look on their face, apart from Trish who seem excited for whatever the goddess knows.“I’ll be off now.” Stacey said as she stood up, pulling out her chair and walking away.“Stacey, I heard something last night. I’ll like to confirm if it’s true or not.”Stacey halted in her steps, balling her fist hp before turning to face Trish. With a raise of her brows, Trish dropped her spoon, the smile on her face widening as she propped her elbow to the table.“The sex with Ronan. I heard you lied about it. There was never anything between the both of you. No sex, no kissing..”Eric’s hand stopped as he wanted to place his spoon in his mouth, looking up to Trish with widened eyes. His eyes darted to Ronan to meet his too, the flash of hurt on Ronan’s face obvious. “I don’t think it’s any of you business Trish, whether we had sex or not…” Ronan interfered immediately.“You know what?” Stacey said, walking back to the
Chapter 116“You had sex? With who?” Lena asked, her eyes still raking him up and down.“I had sex with whoever I was seeing.” Ronan replied and stood up, his feet moving back and forth as he ran his hand through his hair.“I don’t know Lena. I don’t know. It was the same thing that happened to father before he died. Do you think it’s hereditary? Are things happening to me too?” Ronan asked.Lena brows knotted, allowing the words to sink into her brain as she reprocessed it. “How do the hallucinations come?”Ronan stopped and turned to her, walking back to his chair and propping his hand on the table, “when it started, it was like a quick and brief thing. I might be talking about her and I’ll just look somewhere and she’ll be there, staring straight back at me.”“But then it started occurring frequently, only when I’m outdoors. Then the day of the party, I told Eric about it...“You told Eric before telling me?” Lena interfered, her voice going a notch more.“He’s my beta Lena. He’s
Chapter 117Walking out of the house, Lena started with admiring the view, a lot of what she wanted to say to him or get out of him clouding her mind. “Do you want to talk or why are we suddenly going for a walk?” Eric asked, the rudeness in his voice evident.Lena lips tugged up, a small smile on her lips as she stopped abruptly, turning to face Eric.“I actually want to talk. And seems like you’re in a rush. Should we make it another day?” She said, her brows taking a raise.“If we can, I’ll really appreciate it.” Eric replied.Lena nodded, taking some steps away from him and stretching her hand for him to leave, “another day it is then.” She added with a smile.She allowed him to walk away from her before saying her next words, “I’ve seen your face multiple times in the pack where I come from. I wonder what you’re doing here again.” She yelled out, causing Eric to stop and turn to face her.“You wont happen to be working for Lucien, would you?” She added, the smile on her face gro
Chapter 118.Lena returned to Ronan’s study room, taking her seat as she stared at him.“Do you have something to say?”“Yes. Yes. I have a lot to say. A lot I did not tell you. And a lot that you have to know to prove that Eric is not someone you can trust. Not today, not tomorrow, not anytime. He’s a clown, there’s no other word for it. And as long..“Would you get to the point of why you’re here and why you’re slandering my beta? Or would you like me to call him in so you can tell him everything you have to say about him here?” Ronan cut her off.Lena smiled, nodding as she leaned closer to him.“Have you ever wondered what I went through in the hands of Ronan? The things that I faced because I once loved him? Have you bothered to ask me?”“I figured you won’t want to talk about it because it can’t be good, so I didn’t bother to ask you.” “Well, I’m telling you now. Back when I was at Lucien’s pack, I saw Janiya’s father.” Ronan stopped what he was doing, looking up at Lena with a
Chapter 119“Excuse me?” Ronan said, his eyes widening and his voice rising.Eric clenched his jaw, lowering his gaze before looking back up at Ronan. He stood up and immediately went on his knees,“I know I’ve failed you a lot, more than you can ever imagine but it was not my fault to do so. I was tramped, I had nothing else, I had no one…“You have me!” Ronan yelled out.Eric gritted his teeth together, his wolf growling happily in him. This was how he wanted it to go, Ronan yelling at him, it proved that he was still the stupid old Ronan and nothing would change that.“Get out of my room this instant. Take three guards, I want both Janiya and her father brought into the dungeon this instant.” Ronan ordered, standing up from his chair.“What about me?” Eric asked, pretending to be scared and managing to look up into his eyes.“Do what I asked of you first.” “Yes, your highness.” Eric replied, standing up.He had gotten to the door with his hands on the knob when he turned back and f
Chapter 120All the elders were already in the meeting room, their face devoid of any happy emotions and their intentions clearly known and shown, they were here to ask Ronan what kind of madness he was on now to make him lock both father and daughter in the dungeon.Neither Janiya and her father were expecting it when it arrived. Eric entered the house, firstly asking the guards to stay outside while he acted smug with them. And he finally narrated how he did everything with Ronan, and how their time has come to an end. Leaving them with a final warning,“You dare not say I’m the mastermind of anything here. Because if you do so, it’ll be death. Ronan is only going to lock you in, I’m going to kill you without sparing a glance.” He said before asking the guards to come in.It was an embarrassing sight because Eric had intentions of disgracing them. Even before they got to the pack, he made sure to taunt them, wanting to make the news spread at fast as it can. “Where is the alpha! Te
Chapter 121“I love you Stacey,” his voice kept ringing in her head.Throughout the ride back home, the only thing he could think of was how she had wanted those three words to be said badly to her and now that she has finally gotten it, she didn’t feel the way she had expected to feel. A smile bloomed on her lips as she thought of the days when she was still young, vying for her father’s attraction and her mother’s love, she would seat down and daydream about the day when both parents would tell her how much they’re sorry for all they did and finally draw her nearer into a hug.“Ma’am, we’re home.” The guard disrupted her thoughts, and the carriage coming to an end. Nodding towards him, she got out of the carriage, turning back to see Ronan’s carriage getting closer to hers. She clenched her jaw, staring for a while before making her way towards the house. She had always thought the ‘I love you’ word contains something that makes one feel loved, but at the end, it’s just like any o
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
