Chatrina povI laid on my bed with tears stained eyes, it was one of those nights, those nights where she would appear in my dreams with tears in her eyes. I wished I was stronger."Your mother is so sorry Lupe, I should have done better, I should have tried harder even if it would cost me my life." I muttered. For days, I hadn't said a word to him, my so called husband. He had apologized countless times but that didn't change the fact that Lupe was in the ruthless Lycan King possession neither did it make what he did go away. I had cried till my eyes hurt and were so swollen that it could barely open, I cried till there was no tears left in my eyes the I began to pray. I prayed everything would fall back in place, I prayed for her to be safe, I prayed for her to be treated nicely. She was too young to face the world in an unknown land.A knock sounded on the door interrupting my thoughts, "Luna, your bath water is ready." My personal maid Rhea called. I wasn't in the mood to take
Lupe's POV"Is everyone here?" Sarah asked as her eyes scanned through the small cluster of maids in the kitchen. When they met mine, she avoided them as though my stare burned."Why would she do that?" Leah asked "She's feeling horrible for what she did I guess." I replied "Isn't that more reason why she should treat you nicely?" Leah asked."People differs Leah." I answered shutting her out to concentrate on what was happening."The King sister, Princess Fiona would be leaving with her mate today, I don't know the details but we are ordered to prepare delicacies for our guests today." Sarah said. "Yes ma'am." We chorused."The party starts at noon, before then, the entire house should be properly cleaned and the meals should be ready. That is why I have called everyone out today." She said adjusting her dress. "I decided that the staffs will be divided into two groups, one group would be in charge of cleaning, while the other group will be in charge of cooking." She added."I se
Adrian's POV "The day you make my sister cry, is the day I'll come after you, I will rip out your tongu-" Getting interrupted by her voice."Adrian!" Fiona's eyes widened in horror. "How can you say that to him."Although his face was ashen, I could tell she was scared of me but his words came out firm. "I will treat her well, I swear with my life." And placed a hand on his chest."You're not swearing with anything." Fiona snapped then turned to me with a glare. I sent her a smile. She was the only one who knew so much about me, she always get on my nerves without trying but I knew just how much she loved me. It was a little sad seeing her finally leave, I always knew this day would come. I never expected it to come this fast and my happiness is that her mate is an Alpha. She will be their Luna."Smile, you look like a pony with that pout." I said throwing her a careless look. "I don't need your opinion brother, my mate already commented on my looks." She said with a satisfied smi
Adrian's POV "Tell me everything you saw that night." The guard's eyes widened as he turned to me. "M.. my King!" He immediately went on his knees with his head bowed to the ground. "Speak." I ordered. He jumped in fright. "T.. that night when during the midnight patrol, our leader had stationed us to different segment of the packs to patrol. Everything was okay at first, but I began to perceive a very offensive odour." He said. "They are indeed rogues." Cenat spat against the wall."Go on." I said biding myself to remain calm.His eyes kept quivering as they darted around wildly in fear. "I went to check what was the cause of something so disgusting, it led me through the trail that takes one to the outskirts of the pack. But I kept going because I could sense it even stronger then. That was when I saw them, they were standing tall and proud in the moonlight looking as despicable as ever." "Them?" Cenat asked, "how many were they?" He frowned, he was obviously not aware of tha
Adrian's POV His scent led my wolf through a rough trail of pack houses. A rotten nose filled my nostrils making the food in my stomach churn.It was evening, people were out chatting, walking and doing whatever they pleased. Going in my human form would only give me out and alert the scumbag before I even got there. On seeing the surroundings, I wasn't surprised at his behaviour. The street was filled with dirts of all kinds, people walked about as though it didn't bother them. I almost spat in disgust. I made a mental note to visit more areas like this, I'd summon all the elders of each streets they deserved a scolding for allowing my country get this messy.People gave way as I moved, who wouldn't when a wolf twice it's normal size was walking down such streets, it was sure something spectacular.My wolf perceived his scent strongly towards a small house at the outskirts of the abandoned street. I rushed towards it in reckless abandon, flinging unsuspecting people out of the way.
Adrian's POV He raised his head, "I deserve it! I've committed a grave sin, please in your infinite mer-" I held back a Laugh and finished his yet completed words, "Mercy?" I scoffed, "I don't know who keeps spreading these lies about me." I muttered, shaking my head.With my hand, I grabbed his neck lifting him up, his feet dangled in the air uselessly as he choked. "You made me leave my throne to find the rat that threatened the peace of my kingdom and you expect mercy?" He opened his mouth saying some incoherent words."Oh, you didn't think the King will come himself." I laughed throwing in down towards the burning fire, as he landed, he released a scream. "That's just the beginning, you should be thankful for your daughter, otherwise, you mate would have been waiting for you in the land of the death." "M.. my mate?" He was panting as she crawled on his knees. "Is she alive?" He asked. "Why don't I send you to the land of the dead to find out?" I asked in return."Pl.. please
Adrian's POV The day had really been hectic, from Sebastian return to the sighting of the rogues, there are missing bits that I still couldn't find. Why was he back?We may share the same father but we were in no way brothers. The only brother I had and recognised was Dave. His mother who was a witch, hadn't been legally married to the late Alpha, despite the fact that he had been the eldest son, he had no rights to the throne. He had left in anger saying he would return when the time was right, now he was back, could this be the right time? Of course I was a hundred percent sure that he had everything to do with the sighting of the rogues, but since there was no concrete evidence, I couldn't approach him. "Do you want anything Alpha?" Cenat asked behind me. "No, you can retire for the night." I replied dismissing him. "Rest well my Lord." He bowed before leaving. I needed to break that curse fast, Sebastian had come for the throne no doubt, curse or not, I would fight him till
Lupe's POV I paused.Kyna hated my guts, if she finds out that I was in here with the King, my body trembled in fear of what she might do. She knew I was his breeder, and to breed his pups, I had to sleep with him. That shouldn't make her mad right?"You are in for a whole lot of trouble Lupe." Leah's voice rang in my head. The King laid on the bed looking a little unbothered. I held myself from reaching out for his hair and pulling out an handful. I scrambled up to my feet in search of my clothes, a hand grabbed my wrist pulling me back. "Where are you going?" He asked. "To my bed." I replied snatching my hand from his hold but he tightened his fingers. "Let go of me." "How dare you order the King?" He asked, "lie back down now." His voice came out as a command. The knock sounded again on the door, this time with a little more urgency."My King, I know you are not asleep, please open up." She called."No." I replied the king struggling to release my hand from his hold. "You m
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
