Lupe’s POVI dared not doubt that the absence of the Lycan King was the goddess gift to me. It felt like the burden I carried every day had disappeared, only a little while though. I recieved the news when I woke up in the morning. I was informed by Ariel. She caught me in the corridor with a sly smile on her face just as I was leaving my tiny room.She leaned closer and whispered, "Guess what?""What?" I brushed aside a few loose hairs and asked hesitantly."The Lycan king just left the pack house. He is gone for now," Ariel whispered."Gone?" Uncertain if I had heard her right, I repeated.With an almost amused smile, Ariel nodded. "To the northern regions. There was some talk about getting together with an ally, but people like me didn't receive all the details though.""How long is he going to be gone?" I asked excitedly. She looked around to make sure no one was listening and answered, "emm...three days, probably four. But given his personality, he'll most likely come back soon
Lupe’s POVPeace prevailed for four days. Atleast I hadn't been called into the Lycan King's quarters for four days now. I didn't feel his cold stare follow me about, and also the oppressive burden of his presence. Or the need to hide from him. I could walk around the pack house without the fear of bumping into him. It felt like my life had almost returned to normal, like I was a little free. Though I still have other demons after my life.Unfortunately, the peace I experienced, soon ended.I noticed the maids chatting in the hallway opposite my tiny room. I stood up and went close to the door, trying to eavesdrop what they were talking about.I heard one of them said, in a low, sharp, excited voice, "the Lycan king is finally back!"“Wow..when did he come back?” another maid asked.“Just few moments ago.” the first maid replied.That moment, my heart skipped a beat. I didnt know if I should cry or smile. The King of Lycans has already come back. Although I knew it would happen regard
Lupe’s POVThe next day I returned to the lycan king's quarter with the same motive. To my greatest surprise it was the same story as yesterday.When I got to the door, the guards looked at each other, their faces looking blank and confused as they returned their attention to me. They were just staring at me as I approached, waiting in anticipation to know why I was coming."Please," I murmured quietly. "It is urgent. I need to see the lycan king. I can wait for me if he is busy now."One of them, a tall guy with a scar along his face, raised his head and sighed quietly. "No you are not allowed to wait," he stated curtly. "You have to leave and you must. The lycan king never summoned."The younger, obviously uneasy second guard nodded in support He said, "you came here yesterday but you have to go back the lycan king isn't expecting you so you have to leave right now," but his voice faltered a little. "Just take the advice for your own good."I looked at the closed doors behind them a
Lupe’s POVThe passageways were quieter than normal, with lights on the walls flashing as a chilly breeze floated over the pack house. I got head ache from the countless lof thoughts playing in my head at the same time. "They need something from me, I'm sure of it. If it was just for pleasure, he has Kyan to satisfy him." I hummed my words to avoid anyone from listening.I had to talk with Adrian. I don't care what he might do. I turned to go back to his room.I was able to get past the kitchen area, where a few staff and maids were chatting. They glared at me and rolled their eyes like I committed a crime against them.I felt uneasy and the urge to abort the mission of going to meet him. I was already few steps away from the guards who stood outside his room.The noises I had heard before, from Adrain's room kept ringing in my head. Kyan's presence in the room. The guards had gazed at me, uneasy but silent. I should've turned back. I should've disregarded the twisting pain in the wa
Lupe's POVGazing mindlessly at the dead leaves strewn across the lawn, I sat in the farthest part of the garden, with my knees pulled to my breast. My body was depleted of all strength, and my heart felt empty. The past several days had been really bad for me, with failure after disappointment eroding what little strength I still had. I had made an attempt. I had pleaded. Adrian had also made it plain that he didn't care about me. Not like i was expecting him to, but atleast he should've been merciful.My chest still ached from the humiliation of being thrown aside and hauled away like an unacceptable pest. Above all else, though, I was unable to get rid of the intense pain I felt from missing my mother."Lupe? Is that you?"I was jolted out of my reverie by Ariel's voice. I was unaware that she was coming. Her eyebrows were drawn together in alarm as I raised my head.She sat next to me and whispered, "I've been searching the whole pack house for you. After breakfast, you vanished.
Adrian’s POI entered my room and was immediately greeted with the smell of fresh ripe fruits and couple with the fatigue that was pressing down on me lately. I was already feeling impatient, and the scene in front of me made me feel even worse. I just came back from a heated meeting with my pack members to meet my room messed up with the taunting smell of fruits.She was just sitting in my desk. She has no little respect for her brother. Carelessly putting grapes into her mouth while reclining her ass on the desk as if she owned it, one leg stretched over the floor. The fruit bowl, which was never meant to be in my room, lay next to her, its contents quickly emptying as she picked them up one by one, bite by bite.Aaarrrghhh!I tightened my jaw. "Are you supposed to create a mess wherever you go?" I asked in an irritated tone.She chewed loudly as she turned her head to face me. My sister Fiona was never the type to fall for my straight mean facial expression. Then, while maintain
Lupe's POV"What's going on?" I asked rubbing my eyes. I woke up to the sound from outside.There was an overwhelming sense of urgency in the pack house. There were servants running wherever I looked, voices overlapping in desperate orders, and the sound of feet moving from one side to another. "Ohhhh!" I exclaimed as it came to me.The whole town was a flurry of restless activity because of the impending celebration. Everyone was on really in the edge of wanting perfection.The celebration appeared to be a major thing, with other packs joining the Moon Stalkers to celebrate. And, as predicted, everything needed to be flawless. The maids worked nonstop, scrubbing, adorning, and preparing an infinite list of tasks that I didn't bother keeping track of the activities. Male slaves were either hauling pallets of supplies or placed on duties that required them to sprint back and forth.Nobody could afford to rest.This includes me. I hurried off to start mine before they come for me. Cons
Lupe’s POVThe celebration had finally begun.Brightly colored lights swung from the ceilings, as well bathing the huge hall in a pleasant bright glow, and excitement was in every faces of the members if the pack. The aroma of freshly made bread, roasted meat, and exotic spices filled the atmosphere, making my stomach turn, not from hunger, but from fear of getting my stomach upset. There were laughters and upbeat music, which blended with the voices of senior werewolves and visitors from nearby packs.This was a celebratory night for them. But, It was merely one night of slavery for me. When I have ti work my ass off and abide at Sarah's orders.After days of diligent preparation by the maids and servants, we were expected to be flawless now that the event had begun. No errors of any such. There must be no delays. Only compliance and obedience.I moved across the crowd, cautiously balancing a tray of wine glasses on my palm. My head hammered from the deafening noise, my feet shivered
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 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
