Ashlyn's POV I had left the pack house earlier that morning to the river and that was when a shot was fired at me leaving me unconscious. I was regaining consciousness when I heard Lucifer renounce his position as the Laird and when Hawking had let his guard down and I took the chance to take the gun from him without wasting time, I fired the rifle. Hell let loose as bullets and arrows flew around. Lucifer transformed immediately and as an arrow was fired towards me, he stood in front of me, grabbing the arrow and breaking it into two before running over to the shooter to rip his head off. His comrades too had shifted and many of the pack warriors were coming out of the territory. The battle was fierce as the battalion of rebels took over fighting too. Lucifer ex mistresses all charged towards me and had also transformed into their forms except Sofia. Celine transformed into a werewolf and Sia, Juliette and Meredith transformed into Lycanthropes.I let Iona take control and shifte

Roselia's POV I heaved. It was time the Lady knew about the alpha. "Come with me, dear," I said motioning to her to follow me to my room. She did. We got to my room and I locked the door. "Come sit with me." I said holding her hand and leading her to the bed. We both sat down. She had curiosity written allover her. "It was forty decades ago when Queen Katrin, Lucifer's mother was married to Alpha Charles, Lucifer's father and I was her trusted and youngest servant. She was married to him for years without a child and when a decade passed without her still not carrying his child, she decided to go the extra mile just to get a child." I said to her. She stared at me paying rapt attention. "Another year passed again and when she could not get a child from the moon goddess, she went to the witches of the night to get one. That was how she got Lucifer." I said to her and she gasped in shock. "She told me that a pentagram was drawn and the witch she had gone to was a dark witch who co

Ashlyn's POV I sat on the ground in the study room crying my eyes out till noon. If I could believe that he had nothing to do with Celine, why does he not believe that I have nothing to do with Stye? I stood up from the floor wiping my tears. Crying would not solve my problem. I have to prove my innocence. I walked out of the study room and bumped into Celine. "Pardon me," she said, smirking. At that moment, all of my frustrations and anger rose up again. "You bitch!" I said to her in anger as I pulled her by the hair. "Have you gone crazy? Let me go!" She yelled at me. I refused. "Listen to me you nitwit, I know you have a hand in everything happening to me. I just know it." I said to her. She freed herself from my grasp. "Do not accuse me for your infidelity, Ashlyn," she said in anger. "I did not ask you to spread your legs for another man to lay with you." She added snickering. "You know I did not do it. I'll prove my innocence, I promise you." I said to her and she snicke

Ashlyn's POV Three days passed, and today was the day Lucifer was to return back to the house and to me. I was anticipating his return. Ripper, Stealth, and Roselia had played a good part of keeping me out of boredom till he returns. I was seated at the dining area when Roselia brought in a tray having a cup of tea, bread, grits and gravy, sausages and devilled eggs on it. "Is this not too much?" I asked her in surprise as she placed it in front of me. She chuckled. "No, milady. You need to eat more than drink blood." She said to me. I smiled at her. "Thank you." I said to her as I began to munch on the breakfast before me. "You're glowing so much today, milady. I'm sure it's your anticipation for the Laird's return." She said to me smiling and I blushed and nodded. I took a sip from the tea and placed it back on the saucer. Before I could take another bite from the sausage, the urge to throw up took over and I turned aside and vomited blood on the floor. "Oh my, are you alrig

Ashlyn's POV He held me in arms in that position for a long time till my tears could no longer flow down my cheeks. I raised my head up to look at him, and his was filled with warm emotions. He held my chin in between his thumb and index finger. "There's never going to be another woman in my life, Ash. Not in this life or the next." He said to me and I believed him. I should have known it was another scheme of Celine to separate us. I do believe him but why does he not believe me? I opened my mouth to speak, but he stopped me. "Do not say a word." He said as he placed his lips on mine. • Morning approached quickly and the familiar warmth that laid beside me last night was gone and replaced with an empty and cold bed. I opened my eyes and indeed Lucifer was no longer beside me. I got up to a sitting position on the bed and sighed. Then I had a weird feeling that everything was about change. Just then, Lucifer walked into my room. The door was still broken and unfixed. He was a

Ashlyn's POVIt was noon when I finally stepped out of my room. I walked down the stairs feeling very famished. Hungry for food and a little blood too. I walked into the kitchen to find Roselia making lunch with a few helps in the kitchen too. "Just a few minutes, milady and lunch would be ready." She said just as if she knew why I was here. I chuckled as I went towards a tin of biscuits. "I can have this till lunch is ready init?" I asked her. She smiled. "Yes, milady." She said. I opened the tin of biscuits and munched on a few before heading out of the kitchen. Maybe I should speak to Lucifer and see if I could get a bag of blood or two. I walked towards the living room and saw Alpha Hawking walking into the house with his beta beside him. His eyes lit the instant he saw me. "My days on earth have been blessed to have seen the goddess of beauty herself this noon." He said to me. I faked a smile at his flattery. I really do not know why Lucifer trusted this man when everything

Leo got to his lawyer's firm and walked into his office. "It's a good thing I took the papers to the inspector today." Leo said to him as they shook hands. That was why Leo could rush over to his place.Mr Tony sat back on his swivelling chair. "Let me see the papers." He said to him.Leo handed the court papers to him and Tony went through it. He looked at Leo."This is fake Leo." He said to him and Leo stared at him in shock."What are you saying?" Leo asked sitting up. "The court order is fake Leo. There isn't going to be any court case between you and this woman." He said to her.Leo stared at him in disbelief. "But I went to the address. I got the phone number of the lawyer who issued it." Leo said to him."And have you given him a call?" Tony asked him. Leo shook his head."Why I wanted his number was to get Sheila's mom address but I met her on my way back home." Leo explained."Call him now." Tony told him.Leo pulled out his phone and called the lawyer placing him on speaker.

Sheila's so called mother did not stop coming to the house and when Leo made it known to the securities never to let her in,she threatened to deal severely with them and within weeks,a court letter arrived at the doorstep of the Michaelson's.Kylie could hardly believe it when she read the letter with Leo and Sheila's questioning too was making think so much that this letter was the final straw that made her completely distraught."What do we do Leo?" She asked him.He folded the letter. "I'll get in contact with my lawyer. If this is what she wants then she should be able to face what's coming. I'll never let Sheila go with her." He said."What if she wins the case? What will we do?" She asked him."Have a little faith in your husband Kylie, I'll not let that happen. We have every right to Sheila." He said."But she's the birth mother!" Kylie exclaimed worriedly and looked around hoping the kids weren't there to hear her outburst. She won't be able to hide it forever. Someday she'd t

**Five years later**"Mom!" Derrick called out loud and Kylie was forced to close her laptop the instant the five years walked into the room, matched up to her with a scowl on his face. He'd been yelling for her through the hallway."What is it sweetie?" She asked him ruffling his brown hair. This was the product of the fruit that had been inside of her six years ago."It's Sheila. She doesn't want to play with me." He complained."What do you mean?" She asked him."She's busy with her princesses coloring book and says she won't play with me until she's done." He said still pouting.Kylie forced herself not to roll her eyes. He was fond of getting upset over little or meaningless things."Well why don't you wait for uh?" She asked him."But I want to play make believe with her now!" He whined and began to throw a tantrum. She could barely handle him. Leo was the one perfect with handling him when he begins to throw fits. Just like the one he's doing now."Alright listen to me," She sa

The rays of the early morning sun filtered into the room and awaking the lovers who had spent passionate hours together.Kylie was the first to wake up and as she did,she stared at Leo still asleep. She watched his steady breathing and his face. Yes she loved him very much and she wasn't going to pretend. She wanted to remain like this forever with him.She wished she could resay her marriage vows to him and this time she'd mean every word of it. Not because she was forced to marry him but because her heart called out for him.This could be the best thing her mother had ever done for her and for the first time,she was grateful to her for it.She placed her lips on his for a quick kiss and then head to the bathroom. As she turned away to leave after kissing him,he pulled her back to him and she gasped."You wanna leave me here hm?" He asked her with half closed eyes."Good morning,I thought you were sleeping." She said to him with a smile."Well that kiss is surely a good way to start

Kylie watched Leo from the pantry door as he played with Sheila in the living room. It was a lovely sight to see and this time she knew in her heart that she wanted this man. It's been weeks and she could not deny that the feelings were growing stronger daily.She wanted her world wrapped around him and his with hers. She wanted to stay here and she knew it was going to be possible if she accepts it to be. Hell,she was going to accept it. She was going to stay here. No one could love her and Sheila like he does."Why don't you join them dear. I'll finish up here with Patricia." Agnes said to her watching the way she looked at Leo and her daughter.Kylie shook her head. "No no. I'll finish up here first." She said to her.Agnes smiled. "It's becoming less of a burden seeing him around now hm?" She asked and Kylie walked back to her and smiled back as she handed the bag of flour to her."Not a single burden at all." She said to her."Finally, it's all falling in one piece." She said and

For days Kylie could not get the events that happened with her and Rex out of her mind. For him to still be out there uncaught made her worry the more. What if he tries such act again? But then,there was Leo who had hired her a bodyguard. She'd been against it but still he did not relent. He did what he thought was best for her.Here she was resuming her work again and still unable to concentrate. Her thoughts divided from the files in front of her. It was her continuous racing heart whenever she was around Leo that was beginning to alarm her. What was it with him that made her have butterflies in her stomach and made her knees weak. Was it his touch or the way he looked at her with loving eyes these days? What was going on in his mind? she wondered.All of a sudden she lost interest in work and wanted to go home. She wanted to be with her little daughter who was growing bigger by the day. She wanted to have a little day out with her. She needed to bond with her just a

Raven’s POVI laid on the bed, draping the sheet over my body. The image of those women with Lightning still bore deep in my mind. Tears gathered my eyes again and I blinked them back.“This is too much to bear. I don’t think I will ever forgive him for this.” I sniffled.The door to my room opened and immediately I knew he was the one. His presence always commanded a subtle acknowledgment. His scent of smoky woods and dark chocolates filled my nostrils but I dared not move.He walked closer to me and sat on the bed. I inhaled deeply, afraid of what would come next. He ran his fingers through my hair gently and traced it down to my shoulders.I shuddered as I closed my eyes.“I know you are not asleep,” he said.I ignored him. He tuck my hair behind my ears and began to nibble on my neck. Desire spread through my body.Why was he all of a sudden calm towards me? I wondered. This morning he lashed out violently at me. This evening I saw him in the arms of other women. Why was he here w

Lightning’s POVI saw her. I knew she was there. I had felt her presence. Still, I did not care. Good. Let her see me with another and know that I did not give two fucks about her.Until our eyes connected and Blaze began to scream in my head as Zane dragged her away.“Stop Zane from taking her away and kick these whores out!” he raged.I ignored him. Let her feel the fury I held for seeing my claimed slave in the arms of another. I was at my peak as the blonde before me sucked me off.Blaze almost surfaced. I tried to control him, but he was adamant. He tormented me, trying his best to break free. Could the crazy Lycan at least let me release before throwing tantrums?But he did not. “Leave.” I ordered the women as I pulled away from the blonde.“But it hasn’t gotten to our turn,” protested the two women who had been entwined together.“Get out.” My voice sharpened as my vampire side surfaced.They scrambled off the bed, grabbed their clothes, and hurried out of the room.“What the bl

Raven’s POVHe just stood there with no expression on his face. Then, without another glance, he walked away.Kira and the omegas charged at me again. I braced myself for their onslaught.“If you so much as lay a finger on her, I’ll cut those hands off and render you useless.”I froze. That voice…sharp, cold, and unmistakably dangerous belonged to Ace. The omegas immediately backed away.“Sir, it’s not as it seems. She’s…” Kira began, but Ace silenced her with a raised finger.“You don’t speak when I’m speaking,” his voice was low, deadly calm, and filled with warning.I looked at him. He didn’t look like the gentle man I’d come to know. Instead, he looked like a silent killer, controlled, but terrifyingly capable of violence.He slipped an arm around my waist, his grip protective yet firm. “From today onwards, if any of you come close to her, or even think of harming her again, you’ll face my wrath.”A chill ran down my spine at the promise in his voice.“We’re sorry. Please forgive u

Raven’s POVI looked up in shock to see Lightning standing at the door. The look in his eyes was nothing but anger and disappointment. My stomach twisted. I scrambled out of the bed without thinking. Ace tried to hold me back.“Please, do not,” I whispered and rushed out of the room. I went after Lightning. Luckily for me, he was still walking down the hall.“Alpha, please wait,” I called after him, my voice shaking.He did not. He kept walking. I got closer. “Alpha.” I reached out and touched him desperately and within a second I was hit, the sharp sting exploding across my face as I fell to the floor.The cold floor met my palms as the pain shot through me. I gasped in shock and disbelief. He actually hit me. My mate. Foolish me for thinking I was different.“Never ever touch me again,” he warned in a slow, deliberate voice, each word filled with rage.I clung to my chin as I looked up at him. His venomous eyes stared back at me, and for the first time, I truly felt small. Not becau

Lightning’s POV“What the fuck was that about, Blaze?” I snarled, slamming the door behind me as I took back control of my body.He growled in my head, calm but defiant. “I did what I had to do, Lightning.”“What exactly did you have to do?” I barked, pacing across the room.I had been away from the pack house when the hunger had hit. The kind that burned through my throat and clawed at my sanity. I went into the city to feed, since Zane still hadn’t brought me the blood bags I needed, nor had he prepared the humans for me to feast on.What the hell was he doing with his time?Only to return and hear the sound of a whip tearing through the night. Then, I saw Raven. Before I could react, Blaze had taken over.“Nobody touches what’s ours, Lightning,” he said again, voice dark.“Yes, but you called her your mate. Your fucking mate!”He went silent.“Don’t you hide from me now,” I growled, running a hand through my hair. “I want answers. What the hell is wrong with you?”“I don’t know,” he

Raven’s POVI woke up to the sting of cold water splashing across my body. “Bloody hell!” I gasped, jerking upright. The darkness still clung to the room. Four omega slaves stood in my quarters, their faces blank, their eyes cutting through me like blades.Anika stood at the doorway, arms crossed, her smile a slow, venomous curve.My body still ached from being dragged and pushed earlier that day. My knee throbbed where I had fallen trying to escape yesterday.I didn’t understand what was happening until one of the omegas sneered, “Alpha’s orders. You’re to be taught how things work here.”My eyes darted through the group and landed on Kira. Of course she was here. That conniving snake never missed an opportunity to join in others’ cruelty. Especially when it came to me.“What the hell are you doing?” I snapped. “I don’t remember the alpha giving such orders.”They moved before I could blink.“Stupid bitch! Who said you could speak?” Kira hissed, yanking my hair so hard my scalp burned
