Chapter 43Ronan woke up the next day with a new determination in his mind. He hurridely cleaned his room before the maid arrived, his body cleaned and dressed in some new clothes.“What’s the occasion today, my lord?” His personal maid asked as she came inside and met everything done.“The occasion is a special one but still none of your business..” he replied with a small smile, making the maid bow and apologize before leaving the room.He walked out and towards the kitchen, everyone caught in a surprise as the alpha entered.“What is it you’re cooking today?” He questioned. As the head of staff replied, “wait a bit. I’ll be back.” He said before walking out.Going towards his room again, he opened the secret door and to Stacey's room, knocking as he awaited her reply. “Come in,” he heard her reply as he opened the door, only to halt in his steps.Her eyes went wide open as she met with him, hurriedly rushing back to the bathroom and slamming the door closed. Of all things Ronan s
Chapter 44Ronan walked out of the room, his mood down because of Stacey’s words as he returned to the kitcehn.“Continue and serve the table quickly,” he ordered before leaving. Was he pathetic? Because he was trying to fix his mistakes by accepting her? Was he acting pathetic just because of that? “You have to get her. She’s our mate.” His wolf said in him.“And I’m trying. I’m trying really hard. She’s the one not opening up.” He retorted.“Then get her to open up. You don’t expect everything to go well after treating her that way!” His wolf half yelled at him.He closed his room door and fell to the bed, staring at the ceiling with a lot of thoughts going on in his mind. Her scars. She had talked about it not being one and there was a lot. The elders couldn’t have done that in a span of an hour or two. Were those the scars that she talked about? The same scars that won’t let her trust anyone or anything?The door opened without the person knocking, causing Ronan to look up only
Chapter 45The table was unusually silent, making Stacey surprised. It was either Janiya was taunting her or Eric had something to say but it was different today. Their faces were even scrunched up, not looking like they were happy with anything. After glancing at the three of them, she shrugged her shoulders to continue her food when Janiya finally spoke out.“Is the food not up to your taste? Or what? Why are you looking around?” Stacey's lips curled up. She knew she was finally going to come around. Ignoring her, she continued with her food without saying anything. Janiya banged her hand hard on the table, standing up and walked out immediately. “Attend to her, Eric.” Ronan said, causing Eric to sigh before standing up. Ronan looked at Stacey who wasn’t bothered by the fact that she might have annoyed Janiya. He stared at her as she carried her spoon to her mouth, blowing the soup carefully before placing it in her mouth.“You learned that well,” he said. She had just gulped
Chapter 46“You called for me, your highness,” Janiya’s father entered his study room, closing the door as he approached Ronan.His thoughts were long gone from the world he situated, but in the world of Stacey’s. He needed an explanation. An explanation on why he’s so attracted to her, why he wanted her so bad and why his wolf craved her. He needed the moon goddess to explain to him why she was making him feel this way about her and not her. He wanted her so badly, and she was just there, enjoying her time and not feeling anything for him.“If it makes you not interested in me more, Ronan, I don’t ever…ever see myself being with you.”“You’re my mate Stacey. You can’t just…“I can. You had an opportunity but you rejected me immediately then. Was it because I had no power, or because I’m just nothing but a woofless girl, and now you’re seeing that I possess more?”“I don’t want your powers Stacey! I don’t need them! I need you!” He had almost yelled at her then.“I don’t need you Rona
Chapter 47By the time they got there, the whole pack members were already there, fear in all of their eyes while Stacey was in the middle.“How did it happen?” Ronan asked the priestess, stopping before they got to where she was.“I was training her, and…and I don’t know, something came up and she started asking questions about you.”“Me?” He asked with raised brow.Before she could reply, he rushed to the middle of where she was, halting in his steps at the sight in front of her.“She’s…she’s shifting…” he muttered with widened eyes.“Go back! All of you go back!” She yelled out, obviously in pain from the process.“Listen to her and move back. She’s in pain, and she might hurt you! Move away!” The priestess yelled out.The crowd started to murmur, each of them taking a step back.“What kind of wolf is she?”“This is the first time I’m seeing something like this.”“Isn’t she the wolfless girl?”“Does she have a wolf now?”Different questions went in the air, but Ronan was mainly foc
Chapter 48By the time the priestess got to Stacey, Ronan was out of the room already, and Stacey was left with a guard. The priestess attended to her, cleaning her up and also attending to her wound before leaving her. “Where’s the alpha?” She asked the guard as she walked out of the room.“He went to the garden.” The guard bowed and replied.She made her way there, only to meet Ronan wandering in the garden, touching the flowers with the tip of his hand.“Your highness…”“Have you treated her?” He asked.“Yes. I need to tend to your wound too before they get infected.”“You don’t have to worry. It won’t. I’ll heal.”“You won’t heal that.” The priestess countered.“It’s the wound of an ancient power. You can’t heal it yourself. It’s either I help you or it’ll be infected,” she replied.Ronan smiled and turned to face her, raising his arm to show her, “it’s healing already. You don’t have to worry.” The priestess was shocked, her brows taking a tug as she walked towards him, grabbing
Chapter 49Stacey didn’t know what happened or what Ronan had heard, but it killed her to see how he was acting with her. “Did I kill anyone during the thing?” She asked Lena who was dressing up for her that morning.“None. Even the priestess was surprised. You really controlled yourself.” Lena replied.“Then why would he be avoiding me?” She muttered under her breath, lowering her gaze and staring at her fingers. Lena lips curled into a knowing smile. She didn’t know what Ronan was playing at too, but it better be a way to win her over. Here she was, wondering what she had done when he wouldn’t even spare her a glance.“Apart from that, what else happened?” She questioned.“Nothing. Nothing at all, Stacey. You controlled yourself, and…ohh, you hurt the alpha.”“What!” Stacey’s eyes widened, turning to face Lena immediately.“What do you mean I hurt him? I thought I didn’t hurt anyone?”“I don’t know how it happened but they claimed your white searing power cut him deep at some part
Chapter 50Tears pooled Stacey’s eyes as she walked out of the room. She didn’t know why she had done that but her heart just couldn’t take it anymore. Right there, she knew he was going to say something that would ruin the whole relationship, and she wasn’t even ready for it. “Stacey,” she heard someone call her, raising her head up to meet Lena’s gaze.“Whats wrong?”“Nothing. Can you escort me to the priestess place for the training? I’m ready now.” She said, smiling to her.Lena pulled her into a hug immediately, causing the tears in Stacey’s eyes to drop. She didn’t want to think about it but it was still there. He wanted to stab her with his hurtful words once again.“I think I’m doing better now Lena. I kept him quiet before he could say anything.” She muttered amidst tears to Lena.“That’s good,” Lena retorted as she patted her back. “I’m proud of you.”“I’m learning to talk for myself and face my fears.” Stacey added, making Lena smile a bit. The disengaged from the hug as
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
