Lightning’s POVI walked into the alpha meeting with Zane at my side and stopped.My father.Four years. I hadn’t seen him in four years.How could I forget he was the Supreme Laird? Of course he would be here. Of course this meeting was his doing.The way he looked at me confirmed it.I shouldn’t have come. I never honor their invitations.I took the seat reserved for me. Zane sat beside me. His father, Kill, was already present.“Welcome, Alpha Lightning,” the three alphas greeted. “Beta Zane.”“We’re glad you finally honored our invitation.”“Zane has been attending in my stead,” I said flatly.“Nothing replaces the presence of a legendary alpha,” Alpha Jasper replied.My father remained silent. Watching.Enough.“To the point. Why did you insist I come? And what does it have to do with my pack?”His gaze didn’t waver. “The minor clans are diminishing, Lightning. We are meant to protect them. Your pack has been doing the opposite.”“And?”“Your wolves have been raiding them. Tortur

Lightning’s POVWhat if I made a mistake by touching her? I don’t do virgins. But I finally did one last night.“It’s no mistake. She’s ours,” Blaze reminded me as I walked down the stairs.Raven had still been sleeping when I left her room.He was right. Besides, it wasn’t bad at all. Despite being inexperienced, she was good in her own way.I got to the foot of the stairs when I met Zane.He had an angry look on his face.“Is it not too early to be in a grouchy mood?” I asked him as I walked towards the bar.“And you look way too pleased this morning.”“Is there a reason why I shouldn’t be?” I got to the bar and poured some whiskey into my flask.“Yes, Alpha. Not when Anika lays starving in the dungeon,” he said through clenched teeth.I paused and turned around. “And why is that?”“Because the Luna asked for her to be thrown there. She’s been there since yesterday.”I turned away and filled my flask. “You should meet the one who placed her there. This is none of my business.”“The

Lightning’s POVAll day, I had sworn to get her off my mind, even though with each passing minute I couldn’t. At the sight of any female, I strained my neck to see if it was her.How was she in my room one minute and gone for hours the next?I heard the sound of a car revving in and got out of the house, only to be greeted with a ravishing beauty in the arms of my best friend.And that ravishing beauty was my slave, Raven. My Raven.I felt anger taking over me and I clenched my jaw. It was just as I had thought. No other person would be able to take Raven out of the pack house if not Ace.I walked towards them, my eyes fixed on hers. The emerald green dress that clung to her body was quite expensive. It was like something pierced my heart. Was that jealousy?I didn’t know what it was. What I knew was I was getting her away from him.I reached them, grabbed her hand and pulled her away.Ace held her other hand, refraining her from going with me. “Where do you think you’re taking her?”

Lightning’s POVI walked down the stairs and, true to Raven’s words, my mother was seated with Roselia by her side. I inhaled deeply, bracing up for the heated conversation I knew would occur.“Hello, mother,” I walked towards her.Her usual smile was replaced with a stern expression. “You did not honor your father’s letter. Why?” she demanded.I sat in a seat across from hers with a stoic look on my face. “Because I do not buy the idea of manipulating me home.”“Manipulating you? What is wrong with you?” Her brows were etched in worry.I leaned back in my seat. “I believe you know. That’s why you’re here,” I replied sarcastically.“This is not a thing to be joked about, Lightning. You’re doomed if we don’t break this curse.”I stared at her and did not dare utter another word.“Your father found the answers to most of his questions. You know you inherited his curse. But that’s not all, Lightning. That same witch cursed you never to feel the mate bond. This is why you don’t know who y

Anika’s POVI placed my hand on my cheek. I could not believe that Queen Ashlyn could raise her hands on me, and it was because of this swine sprawled on the floor.“You slapped me?” I asked her, seething in anger.She slapped me again. This time with the back of her palm. “Never in your life ask me such questions. You lack manners. How dare you shove someone coming to say her greetings to me?”“She used the main entrance.”“And so what?”“She’s a fucking slave!”“One more vile word from you and I’ll have you locked up in the dungeon.” Her voice was dangerously low with an underlying threat.“You wouldn’t do that.”I mistook her cool demeanor and immediately regretted it.She snapped her fingers and instantly a Nightwing warrior that had escorted her in and a Nightcrawler moved at her command.“Take her to the dungeon,” she said without another glance my way.They grabbed me and began leading me to the dungeon. “No! You can’t do this. The alpha won’t let you do this to me!” I screamed

Raven’s POVMy whole body lit up with the fire he was skillfully creating in me, but then he stopped abruptly.My eyes flew open as he stared hard at me. Without a word, he walked out of the river.“Why do you keep rejecting me? Am I not attractive enough like the other women you bed?” I asked him.I knew I rejected him yesterday and vowed not to forgive him. But then I had another thought. What if he was after the other women because he was yet to experience me? What if it was in this way he would feel the mate bond I had been talking about?He paused in his tracks and turned to me. “You are a virgin. An inexperienced woman.”My heart thundered against my chest as a lump filled my throat. “You knew?” I stuttered.“That very same night.”His eyes were fixed on mine.I had been scared that if he found out I was a virgin, he would have me killed, but the urge for him to know I was his mate was deeper. And now, with the realization that he knew and didn’t hang me, frightened me.“What do

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
