Chapter 63“Last I checked, this is neither your room or any of your friend’s room. You’re supposed to knock bdfore you enter, can’t you at least do that?” “And this is not your pack. Can’t you pack your things and take your leave. And what’s a mere maid doing on the bed? Is she your friend?” Janiya retorted before scoffing our.“Ohh. The wolfless girl has been denied a friend all her life and has now found solace in a maid. What a pity. At least you know where to pick your side of friends.” Janiya said.Her words stung Stacey, and immediately she stood up from the bed and walked to her. Janiya stood there with her hands folded to her chest only for a loud slap to echo through the room. “You can talk to me anyhow, but not the maid. Have respect for people, no matter the class they belong. If not for your father, do you think you’ll be different from either of them?” Stacey spat at her.“What! Are you crazy! You just slapped me!” Janiya shouted, her eyes livid like a crazy woman.“So?
Chapter 64The door opened suddenly and two guards entered the room. Lena and Stacey stood up, already knowing what the guards were here for.“I told you, you’re in trouble already.” Lena whispered into Stacey’s ear.“The alpha called for you, miss Stacey. He wants to see you in his chambers now.”Stacey nodded, walking away from Lena and to the guards. She walked past them, and out of the door. She didn’t bother knocking on Ronan’s door as she entered, halting in her steps at the sight of the people there.“Was it jsut not some minutes? How did she call everyone so fast?” Stacey mindlinked Freya, her eyes darting through the room.“Good morning your highness.” She said as she fixed her eyes on Ronan.Ronan replied her with a nod before clearing his throat, “what happened between the both of you? Why did you hit her?”“She was insulting my friend.”“And that’s why you have the audacity to hit my daughter!” Janiya’s father roared.“You’re not allowed to talk Jules’s I ask you to.” Ronan
Chapter 65“Ahhhh!” Janiya shrieked out, throwing all the glass wares on her father’s dining table to the floor. The maids gasped out, taking some steps away from her as she kept on displaying her lunatic behavior.“How dare he! How dare he! How dare he say something like that to me! Ahhhhhh!” She yelled out, rushing to the next thing and throwing it to the floor. She ran her hand through her hair, closing her eyes before widening it again.“Five years! I’ve loved him for five years! I’m the right lady for him! What is in that stupid girl that I don’t have! Can someone just tell me!” She yelled out. She turned to the maids who hurriedly lowered their heads, “you. You, come here and check me out.” She said,All of them raised their heads, their brows raised as they wondered who she was talking to. “I said you! You! Come here and tell me what I’m lacking!” She screamed.One of them rushed forward, bowing to her with her hand shaking seriously.“Tell me what I don’t have that that st
Chapter 66“So you’re telling me now that Janiya’s father and Janiya have been planning against me, and you know of it all this while?”“I was trying to gather more information, your highness.”Eric replied as he bowed.Ronan scoffed out, not wanting to believe his ears. Maybe Lena was right after all, and he couldn’t trust these people as they call themselves.“I don’t believe you.” He said with a note of finality. “Ronan, I won’t lie to you. You have to be very careful. If you don’t trust me because of what I told you, you can place your watch on them. But mind you, Janiya’s father is more snaky than Janiya.”“So what’s the aim? Enlighten me here.” Ronan said, crossing his legs and staring at Eric.They were both in his study, the door closed and different paperworks scattered on the table.“Janiya has her eyes on you.” Eric started, scoffing out after. “I don’t know what you have that I don’t. But she has her eyes on you, and she won’t stop at all until she gets what she wants.”“
Chapter 67Stacey rushed into her room, slamming the door shut and rushing to the bathroom. She rushed back out when she remembered that she didn’t bolt it at the back. After doing that, she bolted the secret door too before rushing back to the bathroom.She didn’t bother to take off her clothes as she sat in the bathtub. It was not until she was swaying down that her heart rate slowed, making her calm down. What was that memory all about? Has she been lying to everyone all around and her parents treated her well at some part in her life? Did she lie about everything and she was at fault?“You have to calm down.” Freya mindlinked her.“I can’t! I can’t!” She yelled out. “I just discovered that I laughed genuinely at one part of my life. I did things that made me happy at a point in my life. And you’re telling me to calm down.”“If you were so happy about it, why did you forget? Why wasn’t it a memory that you did not want to let go?” Freya said to her. “I don’t know. I don’t know.
Chapter 68“What did you do again!” Ronan raged out as they kept on banging the door but to no avail.“Isn’t there spare keys in this house?” The priestess asked.“She used the lock and not the key.” Lena retorted.Suddenly, the door opened as Stacey stood there with a bored look on her face, “I was in the toilet taking a shower. Couldn’t you all have calmed down?” She said, eyeing them.Ronan pulled her into a hug immediately, wrapping his hand around her body as he buried his head to her neck. Stacey raised her brows, not understanding what was going on.“What’s wrong? Why are you acting like…“I’ll take my leave now if there’s nothing else. I just thought she was in danger because of the way she ran out of my place. I’m sorry.” The priestess said, meeting Stacey’s eyes before walking away with her guards. Ronan didn’t let go of her, not minding the looks he was receiving from some of the guards and maids that they called before.“You…you’re Cho…choking me..” Stacey stuttered.His
Chapter 69A loud bang on the door caused both of their heads to be turned towards it before Stacey sighed.“It could be Lena.” She said before standing up and going to open it.“How are you feeling? Hope you’re good? You scared me for a minute there.” Lena said as she entered, her hand patting every part in Stacey’s body.“The priestess must have scared you all. It was not something serious.” Stacey retorted.“And why are you still here? You have no shame, dragging her in like that and slamming the door to our face. Weren’t you at least supposed to pull me in?” “I’m sorry Lena, but no.” Ronan replied before standing up from the bed. He nodded at Stacey as he opened the secret door to his room, “I’ll talk to you later then.” He said before walking off. Lena hissed out as the door closed to their face before turning to Stacey. “So what have you been discussing? About what? Has he finally proposed to you or what?” Lena joked.“Nothing. He helped oil my hair, nothing much.” Stacey re
Chapter 70Both father and daughter sat down together, staring at Eric who sat in front of them. Eric’s eyes kept darting back and forth between them, his thoughts all over the place and wondering why a meeting like this was called abruptly.“I think it’s high time we start rolling in with our plans.” Janiya’s father started.“What plans?” Eric asked with a raised brow.Janiya’s father sat up, staring into Eric’s eyes. “The plan was to make sure Janiya ended up with Ronan. And I have the alpha position to myself.”“You promised to give me the position. You’ll be my beta! That’s what we agreed on.” Eric retorted.“Well, things have changed.” Janiya said as she stood up.“I’m surprised at how Ronan got to know I have feelings for him. I’ve always kept it at bay, not letting anyone know about it or telling it to anybody. How does he know? I’m so surprised.”“Maybe you were not good at hiding your feelings and he knew about it, or what else?” Eric replied.“I see you’ve gained some confi
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
