Lupe's POV Adrian's eyes searched mine as though he was expecting me to say it's all a joke. Fiona cleared her throat moving forward, "She couldn't tell you and I believe you know the reason why." Adrian was silent, our eyes held each other's, trying to decipher what the other was thinking. "I believe the pain you felt was a mild contraction, the child is still a little early to come." The healer went on oblivious of the tensed atmosphere in the room, either that or he deliberately choose to ignore it and get the hell out. "Say something Adrian." Fiona said, Alex was behind her. "Fiona, I think it's best we give them some space." Alex placed his arm around her shoulder to usher her out but she shook him off. "I'm not leaving." "I am so stupid." Adrian muttered as he fell slowly to his knees and both his hands on my laps. "I.. I.. I shouldn't have made love to you last night, I hurt you and the baby." He looked really scared. Alex cleared his throat, "That's sounds very person
LUPE'S POV"Who else do you think is born under the purple moon?" I suddenly heard dad ask. “The sooner we hand her over, the less problem we are going to face. He is offering a lot. It seems like he is desperate. It scares me.” He yelled."Liar! You are being tempted by what he is offering. I don't care what this has on your reputation! But this is my daughter's life and future we're talking about here. My daughter is going nowhere and that’s final!" My mother growled.My ears perked up at her words. They were surely saying something concerning me. Although I have a step sister too, we do not share the same blood from either maternal side. Her mother was the alpha's mate whom I was told cheated on him with her former lover after giving birth to Kiera, my step sister. But the way she said it, it has to be me.They were glaring daggers at each other as I entered the living room. The moment I cleared my throat, they broke it off. "Who is not going anywhere?" I gave them both an unnerv
LUPE'S POV"Yes!" Leah, my wolf answered with so much excitement.I felt a mental connection to him instantly, my insides felt warm. A kind of comfort came over me just by seeing him. His face had a gentle, yet sharp edge to it. His eyes were deep brown, bringing to it a warmth that threatens to draw you in until you get lost in them. Dark, full eyebrows accentuated his face, lashes as long as that of a woman. His lips were full and dark pink in color. Unfamiliar sparks and an electric jolted me back to reality. My eyes widened as I saw that he was directly before me, and in fact, touched my head. The contact made me crave his touch more, the urge to lay in his thick arms for eternity, gripped me. My palm got clammy at how intense his gaze was on me. He leaned closer, "Hey, beauty." His deep, masculine voice met my ear. It was smooth as though he had nurtured the voice to make anyone drool over it."Hi." I mumbled lowly. I could barely recognize my own voice as it came out."I'm Beta
LUPE'S POVLaughter rippled out of my mouth as Garrett tickled my sides out of the blues. It's been two days since we met and it's safe to say that it has been blissful. He was given a suite in the pack house since he came to the pack on an official business pending the time that he was here.He'll still be here until we finish the mating ritual. It's traditional that it's performed in the female's pack, especially if she is one of the alpha's blood. Although Garrett now knows that I'm not the alpha’s biological daughter, he agreed that we do the ceremony here since my mother is Luna. I still find it hard to tell him about the Lycan king which I needed to do before the mating ceremony. I can't leave such important information out, it was even still fresh to be brushed aside, he deserves to know. The Lycan king niche had died down, Mom said the king wouldn’t want to take me as his breeder seeing as I've met my mate already. And I couldn’t wait until Garrett and I become one fully. Bo
LUPE’S POVIt was full moon and its pale light shined so bright for everyone to see clearly. Everyone was anticipating for the ceremony to be held. I peeped from time to time, checking if Garrett would seek in to see me before the ritual like agreed but, nothing.Honestly, I was stunned by the number of people who came for my mating ceremony. Might be because Garrett was a Beta. If just me, no one would have come to the mating ceremony because, I’m a mere omega but, they had no idea I wasn’t ordinary… a rare wolf.Mum later explained the reason I was considered a rare wolf. I never heard of the purple moon until of recent. Only a few, knows the legendary tales.However, I was dressed in an evening gown which had a low neckline to give Garrett easy access to marking me.Finally getting mated. But somehow, the mischievous smile Kiera gave me at noon, still made me feel unease. That they might have planned something up their sleeves. Something didn’t feel right.You'll be fine as soon a
LUPE’S POVHe instantly grabbed my face, putting pressure as he pressed on my lower jaw like he would crush it to pieces in a tighter squeeze.“You better behave.” And what followed next was a slap. I saw darkness with tiny shiny stars. It almost looked real until, it started to fade as the pain of the slap reduced. “You don’t talk to me in such a manner. Or do you have a death wish?” He asked with a raised brow.My anger were bubbling in my blood as I bit my lower lip, trying to suppress the urge to cry as tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my sight. No one has ever dared to slap me since I was the step daughter to the Alpha of my pack. “Let me go!” I muttered.Overlooking what I said, he took a few steps backwards and uttered with a mischievous smile, “You are beautiful. I hope that is how you are on the inside. The bastard of a mate hasn’t touched you, right? Guess he planned to do that tonight but, he I am to help him out on that.”My heart bleed knowing it was supposed to be my
LUPE'S POV"You are a beast!" I yelled, my voice quivering with rage and terror. My words kept lingering in the air, but the Lycan King literally ignored me. He was acting very calmly, as if he was the only breathing life in the room or maybe my defiance were only but a noise from a distant breeze.I sat at the extreme end of the bed, my body shaking not just in fear but to the fact that the sight of him was really disgusting. I held my arms tightly around my body, as if I was trying to protect the little pride left in me. I was too scared to dare to stand or try to make any rash movement. That very moment my mind was really racing with desperate thoughts."Lupe you can escape! Run! Just leave everything behind and run for your dear life."But even as those thoughts kept lingering in my head. I knew it was a very bad idea, clearly impossible. Even if I manage to sneak out of the room, there would be guards stationed at every angle of the house. I'm sure they are guards standing outsid
LUPE'S POV"Run! It's all on fire. Everything is burning to the ground," everywhere was on fire.I was startled awake by the screaming, but I didn't feel like I had actually woken up. My nose were overwhelmed with the pungent smell of smoke, and my ears were filled with people's frantic screams. Flames licked at the sky as I staggered forward, my feet crunching on the charred ground. Everywhere around me was hot and it seemed like the whole world was on fire. Cries and shouts radiated from all directions, combining to create an overwhelming clamor. Some wolves in human form were pulling others who were barely able to keep up as they rushed by me, their fur burning as they ran in utter despair. The pack village I had known my whole life was turning to ash, and children were screaming for their moms. It was an unbearable sight.My pulse was racing as I spun around in panic, trying to figure out what was going on. With every second that went by, the flames grew louder, mercilessly consu

Lupe's POV I laid on the bed with my eyes fixed on the ceiling, last night was wonderful, it first like my first time. Adrian was gentle as a dove but at the same time he gave me the pleasure I desired. He looked and sounded sincere, but a part of me was still skeptical about trusting him. He requested that all my things be moved to his chambers. He was moving at a very fast pace that it was almost scary. "He's sincere." Leah whispered. "I feel so too, but it's hard." I replied rolling over to face the window. "It's not that difficult, you humans tend to make issues harder than it really is." I knew she was shaking her head at me."It has to do with emotions Leah, he has hurt me for so long, but I'm willing to give us a chance." I replied, but it turns out explaining things about feelings and emotions was almost useless to a wolf. "He said he was sorry and his wolf wants me too, so let bygones be bygones." She replied."You never disliked him did you?" I asked teasingly. "Of co
Adrian's POV She was a temptation I couldn't resist. Perhaps it was because I was beginning to see her in a different light. She looked very beautiful, the moon light glowed in her skin illuminating her beauty and giving her a pretty and fearless goddess glow. "You're coming or not?" She asked with a seductive look in her eyes. "Are you sure about this?" I asked walking towards her. "You're in or out?" Not wanting her to change her mind, I hurried towards the bath tub. Slowly, I stepped into it sitting across her. Her breasts looked heavier than I remembered, her nipples were red and pointy. "Lupe.." my throat was dry. My body ached to reach to hers and show her just how much I needed her and how sorry I was for being a brute all these while.She went down into the rose water, then pulled herself up with water dropping down her hair. Unable to hold my urges any longer, I moved closer to her pressing my body into hers, my arms circled around her tiny waist pulling her closer to
Lupe's POVHis lips were soft yet they press down roughly against mine. His arms drew me in softly, pulling me into his masculine warmth. When he pulled back, we were both panting. My eyes were fixed on his, they were fillled with an emotion that resembled admiration and something else. "Do you know how long I've wanted to kiss you like that?" His voice was low, eyes never leaving mine.Not knowing what to say, I remained silent. "I hate ruining the moment, but you need to hurry, Dave is barely hanging on." Beta Cenat said holding his infested shoulder. He was shot with the same poison as Adrian. "You're one to talk when you're wounded too." I frowned. "I'm hanging on, attend to Dave first, the army and I will move the bodies and kill any survivors." He replied.At the mention of survivors, it finally dawned on me that I was drenched in blood from head to toe. I reeked of the rogues rotten blood. Bile rose up to my throat. "I don't think anyone would survive this though." This t
Lupe's POV My hands moved faster than steel. It sliced through the rotten fleshs of the rogues and the hunters. My eyes were fixed on the gates, I need to save Dave before it was too late. I needed to fight without facing the danger of hurting my pup, fighting in my human form was not helping, the hunters were strong, they fought till their last breathe. Whatever Sabastian promised them must be something they were willing to die for. I sensed the presense of a rogue behind me, I turned sharply. "It's you." His words were sloppy and he counted them as though he feared words. I sent him a look with one hand placed over my stomach protectively. That was becoming an habit, I needed to drop it before I get caught."Care to identify yourself?" I asked keeping my eyes on him. I noticed that we were drawing the attention of the other rogues who were moving closer to me. "That is none of your business." He snapped. My eyes scanned through the crowd in search of Adrian, but he was busy
Lupe's POV For a moment, my heart stopped then it began to beat wildly. He was staring at me with those dark eyes, I was experiencing a lot of firsts with this new Adrian, for the first time, his usual arrogant look was gone, replaced with ones that stared at me with so much intense emotions.I swallowed hard trying to calm my beating heart. "Don't do that." I said not taking my eyes off his. "Tell me what I shouldn't do." His voice was low, we were alone in the woods, surrounded by animals who crawled in the shadows and insects whose chirping was loud enough to make a deaf man hear. But for some reasons, I wasn't scared; I have never been scared of him but I once dreaded meeting him. Seeing him here all alone in the middle of nowhere, I should have been scared of what he might do to me but crazy me was tingling in anticipation. The look in those eyes was driving me crazy. "D.. I mean, don't worry about me." Damnit! Why in the name of the goddess was I stuttering?!"Why shouldn't
Adrian's pov.Her eyes were hard, I could tell that she was very worried about Dave. She must have liked him a lot, afterall, he protected her while I failed. A part of me suddenly felt jealous of him, he had someone who was very worried about him. "I can't have you risk your life Lupe, I will find a way to bring Dave here, I think that's better and safer." I said not moving an inch from where I stood."You think?" She scoffed at me. My jaw dropped in disbelief, "I.. I think it's less dangerous." "Let's say we do it the way you want, on your way back to the palace, you get shot by the same poisonous arrows, then you bring Dave out into that horrible battle field, risking his life. Woah, very brillant idea." She clapped.Instantly, I felt so foolish for the first time, "You're right, it's too risky." "What are you both planning to do?" Fiona appeared at the door, I could tell she had been eavesdropping. "We are leaving Fiona, I'm sorry it's sudden, but thank you for everything." L
Lupe's POV Instantly his hands fell off my waist, I picked myself up."What games are you trying to play your highness?" I drawled the last part as I folded my arms watching him. He pushed himself up, "games?" He asked looking confused."Yes, if you think I'd easily fall into your trap, then you better have a rethink." My hands were trembling in anger. There was no way he would suddenly come searching for me to apologize for his wrong doings especially not after I heard his harsh words the day I left the palace."Lupe, I am not playing any games, I came here to plead for your forgivness and ask that you return with me to the pack." He said. "Return to hell?" I scoffed, "You're kidding." "What can I do to make you believe me Lupe?" He asked. "How can I believe any word you say when you were so ready to have the guards throw me out? Aren't I the bitch you hated? I decided to save myself the shame by leaving in my own accord." I spat at him.His face dropped, "You heard." It sounde
Lupe's POV All eyes in the room turned to face me, including him. I must be crazy walking towards the same man I ran away from in my own accord. But I couldn't let him die. I overheard him talking to Fiona pleading to see me for some unknown reasons, he sounded desperate. "Are you sure about this Leah?" I asked as I walked towards wondering if I could really heal what the healer couldn't. "Yes, all he needs is your blood to cleanse his contaminated one." She explained. Fiona turned to me with guilty eyes, "I'm sorry Lupe, I don't know how he found out."I sent her a smile, "It's fine." I knew it would take him only a couple of hours to find me. To be honest, a part of me came here hoping we'd cross paths someday. "Lupe, can we talk?" Adrian asked. For the first time since I knew him, he was being polite, not the usual jerk that I was used to.I remained silent avoiding his gaze. "Can you help me with a knife?" I turned to the maid standing by the door."Yes my lady." She bowed
