Chapter 138“Why are you naked?” Ronan said as Stacey hurriedly picked up the cloth, covering herself back up.“I was checking something. I…I..didn’t expect you to come in just like that.” She added, her face flushed as she made her way towards the bed. Ronan sighed, shaking his head as he hurried towards her. Swooping her up at once, he carried her back to the bed and laid her on it before his eyes caught sight of the small patch of blood on the bed. Glancing back at her, her gaze was turned away from him, shying away from the blood. “I’ll ask the maids to come and clean you up, and then we can have breakfast together.” He said. Stacey nodded shyly under the cloth making Ronan laugh as he walked away from her. Soon the maids knocked on the door, entering on the command of Ronan and approaching the bed. They carefully lifted her from the bed, taking her into the bathroom while they washed her up. By the time they were out, Ronan was out already, giving them enough time to prepare
Chapter 139Lena closed the door with a thud, turning to face Ronan and Stacey whose eyes were now dry.“We need Allies Ronan, not enemies.” Lena said, her voice stern.“And I’m not making enemies.” Ronan said as he pulled Stacey back to the bed, seating her down.“You’re trying to send them off by saying that…“I was not. And I’m the alpha here. Trust my decision. I’m giving them a chance to know where they fall into. It’s either our side or Lucien’s side. Lucien has the power of a wolf so do we here too. But we have Stacey, and that is scary enough to them. If they want to join us here, they will.” He retorted.Lena sighed, taking her seat in front of stacey.“Excuse me.” Ronan said and stood up.He walked out of the room to meet some of the alphas still standing in the hallway, clustered in two or three. Immediately they saw him, they all dissolved, coming round to face him.“Your highness..”. One of them started.“No one knew she was going to end up being your mate. If we had know
Chapter 140“You must be Ronan..“Alpha..” Ronan said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. He took Stacey’s hand in his own, stretching one of his arm towards the table while he maintained eye contact with her father, “Shall we?” He said, pulling out a chair for Stacey to seat down.Her father nodded and joined them, taking his seat opposite them with his eyes directly on Stacey. Stacey’s heart was crumbling deep within, thumping with fear. She had thought she was over everything and could now stand any insult from her father or anything. But even with his presence, she was not half as strong as she thought she was.“I’m sure you know, alpha Ronan, that Stacey is my daughter. I’m not here for long talks, I’m here to take her back home.” He said.Stacey’s head whipped towards him, shock in her eyes as she gazed at him. Her head went to Ronan who lowered his own, smiling before looking back at him with raised brows,“You’re here to take her back home?” He repeated, scoffing out.“D
Chapter 141Ronan rushed towards them, swooping Stacey up in her state of trance.“Guards! Lock him up!” He said before leaving the room. Immediately they got to their room, Ronan dropped her on the bed. Standing at the edge of the bed as he stared at her. He didn’t know what to say, the words to use to her, or how to pacify her. Her father’s words were the height of it, and he could not even figure out what to say to make her feel better.He glanced at her, still looking lost and deserted. “Stacey…” he called out.She looked up at him, blinking the tears in her eyes away before standing up. She made her way to the bathroom, stopping before her hand could touch the knob and tilting her head towards him a bit,“I'd like to be left alone please. Thank you.” She said before entering the bathroom.Ronan watched the door for a while, lost and standing rooted to the spot he was standing on. He sighed deeply before turning back and walking away. As he closed the door, he met Lena and his gu
Chapter 142After attending to everything for the day, sending off the alphas and finally sorting out everything he wanted for the day, Ronan heaved a sigh of relief, leaning into his chair with his eyes closed. His mind went to Stacey, since the last time she sent him off, he has not gone to check up on her or send word to her. He sighed, her father’s words ringing in his head, could it be true? That Stacey never met her mother.Maybe it was true. He has read in places that mother’s love is different and no matter what, they always love their children. He smiled to himself, thinking for her how it would have been different if she found her biological mother. She might have gotten her father’s love too, and if not, she would have gotten her mother’s love at the most. He stood up from the chair, opening his eyes and making his way out of the study.Striding across the hallway, he was about to take the cut to his room when he heard his guard’s voice,“Your highness, Janiya’s father requ
Chapter 143For four days now, the pack has been hot, seeing a different version of the Ronan they didn’t expect. He has been cracking his brain, thinking back and forth. The ally he made with the other alphas came through for him, each of them deliberating. Not only Stacey’s life was on line, but Lena also. Although he had no idea why Lucien would take Lena, his mind told him one thing Lena wasn’t too proud of in her life; to make her a sex slave once again.He clenched his jaw in the bathroom, pouring the water carelessly on himself before wrapping the towel and stepping out. As he stood in front of the mirror, his swollen eyes didn’t fail to greet him. He had just spent one night with her. One night, and the devil had to take her away. By the time he returned to her father’s cell, he has escaped too, everything not passing the head guard’s hand. “Arghhhh.” He growled out, angrily punching the mirror in front of him with raged breath. To say he was angry was an understatement. He
Chapter 144Lucien walked away from the cell, going back to the head guard and muttering some words in his ear. The guard nodded and lowered his head, bowing to him before walking out. He took his seat once again and turned to face both ladies, the smile on his face growing wider.“You know little girl, things would have never been like this if you stayed with me.”“You’re such a despicable being. I don’t know how you do stuff without thinking or without being haunted by it! How do you sleep! How don’t you have any shame at all! Each day….” Lena said, groaning out in pain as each word left her mouth.“Each day I see you, I curse the day I helped you out of your misery.”Lucien’s eyes sparkled with interest, staring down at Lena with a wide smile. He stood up and brought his chair closer to them, his gaze finding Stacey first who seemed disinterested in everything that was going on. Her mind went to Ronan, does he know this already? Would he be coming to save her? To save them?She was
Chapter 155Ronan sat in the forest, panting heavily. To say he was angry was an understatement, and a big one to be precised. His body was glaring hot, his nose giving off angry steam and his heart beating rapidly against his chest. Annoyance coursed through him, hoping to find someone to blame but there was no one.His most trusted assistant, his beta, the guard, the head of all elders, every one of them turned their back on him to work for Lucien. Was he a bad alpha? Was he not controlling enough? Was a fool like they all claimed? But at the end of the day, each of them has suffered a great deal from Lucien, disposing them immediatly he has no use for them again. He didn’t have any issue with him killing the ones who were working for him. He had no use for them and had no issue with it. But his sister was now in his custody, his mate, the Luna of his pack also was now in his custody, suffering and being tortured. The more he thought of it, the angrier he got. “Arghhhhhhhhhhhh!” H
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
