Chapter 9 Heather's POVHe'll be out of the palace in two days and for twelve days, I have requested to meet him. I have fought and screamed on top of my longs, I have tried all I could to communicate with him, to tell him, to help him remember because it seems like all the passion that we shared that night have gone deep deep down in his memories. And I can't seem to find anything to help simulate it. His family isn't helping, Doctor Killian has been completely bought over that he has refused adamantly to check me up even though I complain of sickness. Sometimes, it feels like I am going to pass out from the sudden exhaustion, pain and irritation I feel, but I am abandoned. Nobody seems to be on my side, in fact they aren't. God mother Deliana seems to be glad as her plan to have Lucas's eyes away from me has worked. Five weeks away from him and I don't feel good at all, it feels like the end of the world and everything in its entirety. It feels like I'll never recover. And
HEATHERS POV.I've never felt this received, although I'm still careful knowing well he's a stranger, his face has a striking familiarity but I can't quite place my finger on how I met him and where I had seen him before."I'm sorry we had to meet this way, I'mKeegan, the alpha's beta a and a friend of to Lucas" he explains, I draw a line sigh of relief as it comes flashing back to me, I had seen him earlier on in the office the day I was Falsely accused of being a liar, just now I realize he might have fallen into their clutches as well."I didn't do any of those, they lied" I explained to him not wanting to seem like a bad person."it doesn't matter what I think Heather it's what you did, once you have a clear mind then none of it matters anymore," he says to me"Why would I do it? I did nothing at all but I can't just get why his grandmother won't leave me to be in peace" I answer, He gives me a knowing look and a relaxing smile."I believe you Heather, but first you said we need
HEATHERS POV.I feel a sudden uneasiness in the pit of my belly, I feel my head twirl, my nerves are pressed,My whole world seemed to have just been plunged Into darkness. How on earth am I to deal with this?I had lasted out at Keegan and the woman in the room earlier on and I know it was not in their best interest or mine but I could not keep a restraint on myself,At the moment I felt really irritated and this is what it comes down to, I feel my head go on with a loud bang, and I sniff hard as I had been bawling my eyes out for hours.The fact that to Lucas I have suddenly become nothing than a breeder, it was brought into the Pack to bear a child for him and now that had finally happened I feel myself plus ged deer into darkness,It's way too much for me to handle. How on earth am I to bear being with him? He doesn't even care about me, ever since we had sec I've been trying to reach out to him.Each night I get starved all due to me missing curfew and now I'll go on and tell hi
HEATHERS POV."thanks Laura, maybe I should take my time thinking about it but first off I need to get back home soon I can't afford missing curfew" I answer."oh that right, we've spent way too much time out of the pack house" keegan reminds.I hope out of bed on recollection of that, I had almost gotten too comfortable in this house without knowing who it belongs so,"that right Laura we have to leave now, thank you, for everything" I say to her, "If you feel stressed or under pressure remember to always take in deep breaths although it won't work until you believe it would and keep your mind at bay, it helps I promise" she nods slowly, then pinches at my cheeks before passing a snort at her brother.Keegan grins in response to her and Soon after we are headed back to the Pack house.I feel a rush in my blood as the main gates come to view. It had been a long time since I had a chance like this, I hoped things would at least be better between us both.I had hoped for a better time,
HEATHERS POV.I quiver a bit, I hesitate but I do not move, my feet remain rooted to spit even as much as I really want to move, but then again I won't be so foolish as to make a mistake like that if given the chance he would definitely ruin me.He had gotten someone else pregnant and the best thing he wants to do at a time like this is to make me feel miserable.He isn't trying to make things right, he isn't rendering an apology to me, and although I know I do not owe him a lot I still deserve to be given a little bit of respect.He ignored me for days, while I spent weeks getting punished and starved for trying to meet up with him. He was pretty busy winding himself up in bed with princess mara."You heard me right" he calls out to me, this time I do not bother about him, I had a lot to think about, and feeling intimidated by him is not on my list.I have little to no intention of being with him, he wants to. play u fair and he would probably throw me out of the main waters soon, a
LUCAS POV It felt like I was struck by lightning, Hearing that I had won't a night with princess mara when I was on alcohol, like That was not enough. It was claimed that I shared a bed with her and now she had gotten pregnant. At first, I thought it was some sort of silly joke but I know certainly my grandmother would not crack silly jokes when it comes down to things like that. I would have never imagined myself getting into a mess like that, of all people it had to be Mara. The worst of the worst, I find it hard to handle certain things but this hits me in a way I had never imagined, I could not bear holding it in anymore, I know certainly this is a Pack house e and rumors spread like wildfire, I had no other option than to check in on her. I know she had heard the news, the manner in which she had stared at me when I walked through the doors. The warm look in her eyes had turned icy cold, it was more or less like she wants nothing to do with it, I needed to clear things
Chapter 15 A girl was seen walking in haste barefooted on the cold tiled road towards an unknown destination under the heavy pouring rain. From a glance one could tell she was miserable , the cars drove passed her speedily not caring to stop and help her... "That the world we live in anyway, Heartless!. People trying to mind their business I guess" Heather's pov "I finally had enough ,I won't continue to be the trashbag you all walk over " I shrieked angrily as my painful tears were hurriedly washed away by the heavy rain. Deadly cold creep under my frail skin ,as I trembled violently under the heavy rain. I had no where to go ,not even a home I can return too. That night my heart were shattered painfully into pieces and I felt all left alone cluelessly and hopeless... I badly wanted to die , when I recalled what had happened this morning . I don't know if my decision was the wisest but I don't care either. "I want to become somebody no one will dare to pushover for myself a
Chapter 16 Not only that , his charming face was a killer strong enough to melt those damn scrowl off her face, his well chiseled jaw and beautiful yet manly face and also those stunning cold blue eyes you wanna drown yourself in . That is what you call breathtaking. "those set of broad firm shoulders really match its owner" she drowled and struggled to stay sane. "How can someone look like a damn aphrodisiac god", Heather Clifton cursed under breath. The guy who seems to be in his early thirties ,look stunning in those dark business suit,his golden designer wrist watch and leather bag says a bit about his huge fortune. He bowed humbly in an apologetic manner and in haste walked away. She stared intently after him with full curiosity as he walked through the first class and headed to the economy area.Sooner or later,she discovered he was carrying a stremer trunk on his other hand. "What the hell is he doing with that" she wondered with a scrunched brows, before she noticed
And as he does so, he answers the question he literally forced me to ask while my moans and screams are confused with eachother. "No one else fucking wants you", his moves are so tight and almost forceful that I can't help but wonder how in the world he still has all that stamina. "It hurts", I moan as I try to reach for his waist and push again, but he slaps my hands away and grabs my boobs. "Didn't you want it hard? I'm doing just that, or do you want me to leave? Did you have a change of mind?" His fingers are giving my nipples the tightest pinch they've ever gotten and his palms remain firmly pressed on my breasts. "You'll barely be able to walk when I'm done", he pauses as I start to feel his manhood harden and pulsate inside of me. Dripping hot precum also starts to coat my inside and mix with my wetness as he continues his movement. "And you know what will happen when I'm done?", through my glassy eyes, I notice the smirk on his face, "I'll take you again and again a
Heather With Mara gone, the estate felt peace and calm, like the storm had passed. Some funny thing is no one grieved over Mara's death, even though she was once the Luna. Even her son, Archer. Lucas never loved her in the first place. He softened to me and more wary of letting fear rule him. Our bond emerged stronger for enduring the trial. Together Lucas and I slowly mended torn relationships throughout the pack, reassuring all of our peaceful intentions. Keegan’s wisdom and discretion proved invaluable in maintaining stability through the transition. And Alex’s calm strength gave me courage when threats of fresh dissent arose. He would make a fine leader someday, if we could break the bleak cycle of suspicion and isolation. Archer remained more inscrutable, keeping his own counsel for a time. But Alex's tireless faith seemed to gently erode his walls. And seeing Lucas choose unity over vengeance clearly gave him much to ponder internally. I hoped in time the seeds of healing
Archer's POV The commotion in the hallway drew everyone's alarmed attention from the dinner table. Shouts echoed, then Keegan appeared supporting mother's distressingly still form. Dark blood stained her robes and face."What has happened?" Father demanded, rushing over with the others. But none needed ask as the gruesome truth became painfully clear. Mother had taken her own life, reasons unknown. An icy void opened within me. I know why. She chooses this for herself.In the chaotic hours that followed, I retreated numbly to the solitude of the grounds, tormented by guilt and questions. What had driven the proud Alpha female to such an extreme end? She had appeared the very picture of health mere hours before at dinner. Nothing made sense.Over the next harrowing days, the murky circumstances came to light under Keegan's discretionary investigation. Among mother's things he uncovered incriminating letters - one for father pleading again to cast out Heather before she destroyed him.
MaraBitterness churned within me as Lucas welcomed Heather back so readily after all the grief her disappearance caused. She had stolen his affections from me long ago with her bewitching powers, and now the spell was cast anew despite my warnings. Lucas was blind in his obsession once more.I would not let her destroy my son again. Since reasoned arguments proved futile, more duplicitous means were required. I slipped tiny portions of monkshood tincture each day into Heather's wine at dinner, under guise of graceful hospitality. Just enough to make her sickly, not draw suspicion. Soon parallel symptoms began appearing in my soft-headed son as well - fatigue, headaches, fits of anger. But it was necessary collateral damage to free him from her toxins. Once weaned off her presence, Lucas would regain his senses. I remained vigilant for any opportunity to administer larger, more disfiguring doses when the time was right.But fate conspired against me when Archer noticed his ailing fat
LucasThe long road of recovery thereafter was its own grueling nightmare. My own weakness disgusted me. But Heather and Alex stayed steadfast through every faltering step, humiliation, and defeated curse. Their faith fueled me like oxygen to resume the fight each day. Leaving the bleak hospital at last to continue healing surrounded by family brought profound peace. Despite my grandmother's lingering wariness, she and Mara welcomed Heather back graciously. The circle had held through our darkest hour.My body gradually mended, though the leg brace and cane still left me reliant on others' assistance shamefully often. But Heather never allowed me to slip into despair, staying bright and gently scolding when I cursed my feeble condition too harshly. Her inner light sustained me, even through my blackest moods.Alex too helped ease the restlessness, smiling encouragement through each halting mile walked together around the grounds. In his eyes I glimpsed again the heroic father I had p
Heather Everything happened so fast - the gun, Lucas diving to shield me, the deafening crack of the shot. Then Lucas crumpling heavily to the floor amidst the chaos, dark red blooming across his chest. The scream trapped in my throat escaped as a shattered gasp. I rushed to Lucas's side with Alex, pressing my hands desperately against the gushing wound. Lucas's face had gone pale and slack, barely conscious. "No no no, stay with me!" I begged him. Our surroundings faded away, Ian's deranged shouting, the sirens outside, everything but Lucas's dimming eyes locked on mine. "Heather...forgive me..." he rasped faintly, each word clearly agonizing. His hand found mine, grip feeble. "Tell...Alex..." "Shhh don't speak, save your strength!" I pleaded, tears blurring my vision. But his eyes slid closed, body going limp. "Lucas! Lucas please!" My broken sobs echoed in the sudden quiet.Everything after became a hellish blur - police and paramedics storming in, Ian screaming threats and cu
LucasRage boiled through my veins as Richard tried to hit their car. I watched Keegan speed off with Heather. And I feel at ease. That damned snake Richard had nearly killed her! If I had arrived seconds later...I cut off the chilling thought, forcing icy composure over the maelstrom inside me. Now was not the time for blind fury. Richard remained barely conscious at my feet, helpless prey awaiting judgment. I could make his death agonizingly slow, wring every scream from his worthless hide... But no. That was the old madness. I would not sink to his level, however deserved such vengeance might be. Death would come by my hand swift and clean. The serpent had stolen too much time from me already.I hauled Richard up by his torn shirt, claws piercing through the thin fabric to dimple his skin. He peered at me with dazed yet defiant hatred. "You should have stayed dead, snake," I rumbled. My hand flexed, ready to shred his throat out in one vicious stroke. This would finally be fini
71 Heather's POV:My head spun as Keegan wove the disturbing tale of Ian's - no, Richard's - true identity and motives. The friend I had trusted so implicitly was merely using me as a pawn in some toxic feud with Lucas. And now he was regaining dangerous lucidity in the backseat, malice smoldering in his eyes."Just focus on the road ahead," I told Keegan, trying to ignore Richard's presence behind us. I clutched Alex's hand like a lifeline. We were so close now to real freedom. I refused to let Richard's poisonous schemes drag us back under. Not this time. Alex gave my hand a determined squeeze, meeting my gaze steadily despite the fear in his eyes. My brave boy. We would face whatever came next together. I offered him a reassuring smile before turning to Keegan."What's the plan once we get some distance?" I asked, keeping my tone low. Keegan's brow creased in focus as he navigated busy streets. "I have contacts out of state who can help get you set up with new identities and pap
Keegan Getting inside proved simple once Ian was safely unconscious - the wards recognized his signature and granted entrance readily. Moving cautiously, I followed the scent trails further inside until I located Heather and Alex in a barren side room. They both startled violently at my entrance with Ian's body slung over my shoulder."Keegan!" Heather gasped out, shock and alarm widening her eyes. "What are you doing here? What's wrong with Ian?" She started to rush over but I halted her with an upraised hand. "Please, I beg you to hear me out Heather. Ian is only sedated, so I could speak freely." I lowered Ian's limp form to the floor. "There are truths you need to understand before this goes any further."Alex moved in front of his mother protectively. "Truths? More like Lucas sent his lackey here to drag us back!" His young face hardened. "Well you can forget it, we're never going near him again."I held the boy's glare evenly. "I know you have no reason to trust me. But neithe
