last update 최신 업데이트: 2024-05-07 05:32:46

Libby POV

Evelyn and I were walking through the large shopping centre, with some of her royal warriors discreetly following us. It felt weird to be in a public location and not worry about the cameras that were everywhere.

It left an unnerving tingle on the back of my neck not trying to hide, not trying to outwit the technology for once.

It felt so open…vulnerable even though I was far from it with the additional muscle.

I didn’t like it, I felt too exposed.

I had messaged Natascha to arrange a drop off. She told me to enter a particular pharmacy but only when I have bags of shopping to hide the tablets in. I was all set, I was just trying to break away from Evelyn without raising suspicion.

I had located the pharmacy before lunch, biding my time until I could be alone.

Evelyn had treated me to everything which was very kind of her, but I had my own money. I had Mum’s money…and I felt ready to have that discussion with Father.

To have full responsibly for Mum’s estate and busine

  • The Legacy of the Alpha King: Sins of the Father   Chapter 72 - A race to the royal pack

    Libby POV I forget that I have a wolf that can heal me, as I grip tightly onto the car seat for the entire journey as Pierce speeds through the traffic in a race to get us to Evelyn and Angel. “This is going to break her…we need to find them and fast.” “We will, we have to.” The idea of not getting to them, of something happening to them is just unthinkable. I refuse to think of it. We arrive at the royal pack gates, extra guards on the gates as Pierce flies through, refusing to slow down. Thankfully they were expecting us and opened the gate just in time. As soon as I open my car door Pierce is already gripping me tightly to him. We were in no danger here, he had to calm down, this was about Reuben and the children. Entering the royal house, a collection of faces greets us…alphas of both alliances here to offer their assistance. Their auras hung in the hallway like a dark black cloud, a struggle in dominance as each aura tries to come out on top. It doesn’t seem to affe

  • The Legacy of the Alpha King: Sins of the Father   Chapter 71 - Undeserving of his love

    Libby POV “Reuben isn’t to blame for the sins of the father.” Pierce’s tone is firm, it’s certain of each syllable used. He has no doubts in his mind that no matter what happened between our fathers, it had nothing to do with Reuben. He does not hold it against him, or me. Before me stands a good man, the best man. I am undeserving of his love, as is Reuben. We do not deserve him. I didn’t think it was possible, but my heart widens, my chest burns with more love for him. I don’t there will be a day where he disappoints me. “He doesn’t deserve you, I hope you know that.” My hand moves to his cheek, my thumb stroking across his jaw line where his slight stubble is rough against my soft skin. Love surges from me through the mate bond and I can see in his eyes that he feels it, his eyes widen, a knowing smirk entering onto his lips before they move into that smile of his. “Well, he’s stuck with me now…you seem hellbent on keeping him in your life.” His lips move to my ears, a

  • The Legacy of the Alpha King: Sins of the Father   Chapter 70 - A Father’s Sin

    Pierce POV My warriors stand outside the safe house, I wasn’t willing to trust some stranger who failed my mate in her previous life. I of all people knew what Odin was capable of, if she did too…why didn’t she act sooner…why didn’t she get to Libby before he did. My men cornered hers, readying to take them out at my orders. They may be outside yet I have a pack link to them…mine will attack before hers even know they are coming. I was on high alert, not liking the small size of this safe house, my eyes constantly checking for hidden threats. “How long have you had this place?” Libby seems to trust this woman, even placing her arm in hers, moving side by side along the small hallway to an open living area. “Around about when you were born. Your mother thought Odin would do right by her…I thought differently.” “I don’t understand.” Libby stops in her path, she hadn’t got the hang of hiding her emotions through the mate bond yet…complete confusion hitting her like a ti

  • The Legacy of the Alpha King: Sins of the Father   Chapter 69 - Reunited

    Libby POV “Libby.” The female shrieks in fear as she is almost thrown to the ground by Dane. I spin my body around Pierce in an attempt to see my attacker for myself, when I finally recognise the face…“Wait…Dane, stop…” I desperately cry out to Dane as his hands grip on to the woman too tightly, trying to yank her away from me..thinking she was a threat.I can see figures running towards us, running into the road…the Grey Howl pack warriors coming to our aid, but why…she was a lone woman. Then I see why, she hadn’t come alone. Males were running towards us, bodyguard types rushing to her aid. “I know her…Stop.” I growl out, a heavy sensation shooting out of me which is solely directed to Dane, which seems to freeze him in his tracks. “Release her!” I order out, the anger within me only intensifying as I can feel it roll off me, as if it was tangible. Whatever it is, it works. Dane releases the female immediately, her hands shaking as she places them to her mouth, trying to cal

  • The Legacy of the Alpha King: Sins of the Father   Chapter 68 - Back to my tower

    Libby POV Mixed emotions kept swirling within the mate bond from Pierce, one minute he would be absolutely fine, the next anger would flash through him until he remembers I can feel him now through the bond, and he blocks it. He may not tell me what is going on, but I’m not the same female that arrived here. I was the luna now, and I could sense the discord running through the pack bond…aimed at one person and one person alone…Annabel. It was hard to ignore. On a more positive note, my wolf was getting stronger by the day, she was constantly chatting away. Even in my sleep, I wake up to find her singing…or worse, counting in my mind. I suppose she was making up for lost time. I was conscious that we haven’t shifted yet, that is something I know as the pack Luna cannot continue on for much longer. But there is something I need to do first, something I need to do for me. I need to return back to the apartment I lived in after Mum’s death, I need to find any paperwor

  • The Legacy of the Alpha King: Sins of the Father   Chapter 67 - My wolf’s curiosity

    Libby POVDispleasure caused through me, the sensation of hatred and betrayal. Forcing its way into my dreams. At first I think it is the remainders of a nightmare that I had already forgotten about, but as I slowly sit up in bed…Pierce no longer by my side, I realise the nausea causing sensation of hatred wasn’t coming from me.But from Pierce.I move out of bed, searching for him in the dimly lit house…it was early morning and it would appear I was alone in this grand Alpha house. I move to the fridge in the kitchen, needing a coldwater to suppress that urge in my gut to vomit.Alone in this house, I follow the lights of the hallway, my eyes looking outside the window by the front door for any signs of movement. Was I expecting to find Pierce outside… Wherever he is, these emotions of his that were ploughing into me had me worried.I move again, this time finding myself in the alpha office…moving to sit at his desk. It smelt of him, the entire room, the entire alpha house for
