Lupe's pov That was the thought on my mind as I walked back to my room. When a person was too good to be true, things are likely to go haywire and you end up with being slapped right back on the face. "I see you're done." I looked up in shock, Sebastian was standing by my door with both hands on his waist, his lips curled at the corners in a lazy smile. "I just finished." I replied. He didn't mention waiting by my door, besides I needed some time to get clean, I was stinking of soap and dirt. "You look really tired." He said. "I am, but give me some time to freshen up, I will be with you shortly." I said hoping he got the hint and leave but he stood still."Okay." He replied still standing."Okay?" From the looks of it, I could tell he had no intention of leaving."Yes, you can go on doing what you want, I'll wait for you here." He said confirming my thoughts. I smiled sheepishly, "you don't have to, I will hurry up so I don't keep you waiting." I said waiting for him to leav
Lupe's POV I got up from the bench faster tham lightning. "I think you got it all wrong Sebastian, I haven't given you the green signal, you're a nice guy but I cannot reciprocate your feelings, I told you so before." I replied avoiding his gaze."Why? Because you're the Adrian's breeder?" He made a sound between a scoff and a snort."That is part of the reason why, but anyways the summary of what I'm trying to tell you is that, I cannot reciprocate your feelings." "So you rather live your life like this, being used and tossed away rather than being by my side so that I can treat you like the queen that you are." His face was red, probably from embarrassment and his voice low, he was not taking the rejection as calmly as I thought he would.His words stung, "Mind your words Sebastian, I never chose this life, just because I rejected you doesn't mean you have to look down on me." I replied staring back into his eyes. He cleared his throat holding my gaze, "Lupe, I'm really sorry, I
Adrian's POV "Are you sure you're fine?" Cenat asked for the third time since I woke up."Yes, I am." I answered in a tired tone."Do you feel any dizziness of any sort? Or does your head throb?" He asked."No, I'm fine. What's with all the questions?" I asked with a frown on my face. "What's your last memory of that day?" He asked, his lids narrowed dangerously. "I can recall talking to you, then nothing." I answered. Cenat remained quiet for a while, "Nothing at all?" I nodded in affirmation. "What's today's report?" I asked."We need to hurry up with the search for the rogue, someone tried to harm you." He said looking worried.That explained why he had been making a fuss over me since I woke up. "Tell me what happened." I said my fingers folding into fists."After you left me, I went to the walls behind your chambers supervising the work, when hmm.." his voice trailed off, "I decided to check on you, I was able to find you in the wine cellar but you were dead drunk or so I t
Fiona's POV I woke up to the sound of feet pacing around the room. It was Alex, his hand was on his waist as he moved."Alex?" I called softly. He turned to me with a bright smile covering his worries. "My Luna, I woke you up didn't I?" He planted a soft kiss on my head. "What is the matter?" I asked ignoring the thrills his soft kiss had sent down my spine. "It's nothing you should worry your pretty head about." He smiled taking my hand in his bigger ones. "Alex, you know how much I don't like that sentence." I replied with a pout, "I'm your mate and your queen, if I don't worry about things that bother you, then I have no idea why I'm your queen." His smile flatter a bit, "I know, but I don't want you to get worried, I love you and I want you to always be at peace." He kissed away my pout."From what I've heard about marriages, it's not always roses and joy, it has its up and downs, crazy things happens." I said with a faint pang in my chest. I knew exactly how crazy things c
Adrian's POV "Bring him here." I ordered. "Yes Alpha." He replied walking away. The executioner had already beheaded the criminal, too bad Cenat didn't find the rogue on time, nevertheless, I was hellbent on taking his life for being a part of Kyna's death. He was way lucky that he met a fast on. Cenat arrived with the guards dragging a young man with them. His hands were tied as well as his feet, he was refusing to stand still so he was dragged on the ground bumping into stones and rocks that were on the way.I smirked, they were well trained.As soon as they arrived, the man was placed on the ground when the criminal's warm blood decorated. For some reasons he looked familiar. "Who is he?" I asked Cenat."Ethan, he was a supposed friend to the one who died." He said. I nodded, I knew something was off when he denied his friend and yet went to inform his family about his arrest. He was trying to cause chaos and spoil my name. Not that I cared about the latter, but creating cha
Lupe's POV Sebastian stayed true to his words, he was always lingering around me to prove that he was serious but for weird reasons, Leah wasn't too happy about it. "Hey Lupe, wanna hang out for a while? I have something to give you." He shoved his head in my view interrupting my thoughts."Tell him to buzz off, we are busy." Leah yawn lazily."We can't be mean, he's a royal Leah. Besides be a little nicer." I said chastising her tone even though I knew she didn't care. "I don't care, I really don't like him hanging around us, there's something really weird about him." She said with a hint of uncertainty in her tone. "You always find the weird part of people." I said deciding to ignore her whims."Lupe? Are you alright?" Sebastian asked waving his hand over my face. "Ignore him." Leah snapped. "I'm sorry Sebastian, what were you saying?" I asked smiling at him. "Sebastian? What happened to him being a royal? Don't drop the formalities, that will make him know his boundaries."
Adrian's POV The dreams were back, this time way more intense than before. I woke up panting with my entire body drenched in sweat. The day was still young.I got up from the bed with my head banging seriously, I released a painful groan. It was days like this that I needed Kyna, she always knew how to make me feel better. Pushing away the blinds from the window, I leaned on the window pane. The servants were out and hurrying about doing their daily chores. The sky was clear and the sun smiled brightly on earth, as though it was mocking me. A knock sounded on the door as Cenat's smell reached my nostrils. "Come in." He opened the door slowly with a non readable expression on his face. "Good morning Alpha King." He bowed.I nodded, "Good morning Cenat." "You look horrible, another nightmare?" He asked walking towards the window where I stood. I released a heavy sigh, "You can only imagine." I murmured closing my eyes trying to push out the memories from the previous night."Are t
Lupe's POV I followed Adrian blindly as he dragged me through the stairs up where he came."Where is he taking us to?" Leah asked her tone calmer. "I have no idea, why aren't you getting riled up?" I asked her. She was calmer now unlike she was was with Sebastian.She went quiet. His hold on my hands was tight, my blood wasn't flowing. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that he was in a terrible relationship with Sebastian, from what I saw earlier, they hated each other. To the extent, Adrian didn't blink an eye before throwing him into the cells. My feet stopped, he pulled me again but I jerked back stopping his movement. "Please let go of me." I said calmly, all my worries from the past week hone into thin air. I had thought about him all my nights since Kyna's death, I wondered if he was doing all right, I tried to think of who would have dared harm him, but right now, all my worries were gone. He was obviously fine since he had the strength and audacity to pull me up yhe s
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
