Romans de Jessie Kiss

Chapter 132The table looks sumptuous with slices of various fruits on every plate and a huge glass jar of sweetened strawberry yogurt to fill up the empty glasses beside each plate. A party of various desserts are properly arranged at the center of the table– a perfect setting for a family appetizer. Alessia picked the jar, filling up each glasses which belonged to Cyril, Adrian, and Liah. The whole setting was prepared to celebrate Liah’s arrival. She'll be staying for the holidays which would last a month.Thompson eventually agreed to leave Adrian in the lycans kingdom but with a condition— that when he turned sixteen, he would return to Silverstone pack for good. He had to learn the basics if he would take over Thompson's throne. Liah on the other hand would come visiting during the holidays until whenever she chose otherwise. “Can I have some pancake, Xai?’’ Liah requests, stretching her fork. Xia, a four year old version of Cyril, rolled his eyes drastically before spittin

Chapter 131Alessia's POV It was the end of the ceremony already, what was left of it was the clanking sounds of cutleries as the crowd feasted.The crowds had reduced to a rather scanty size but the blaring music continued. In twos and more, the number of recognisable guests approached our love seat to congratulate our union. “Really can't wait for all these to be over.’’ Cyril sighed, literally frustrated. I'd realised a while back that he had been forcing those smiles he offered to the guests while they approached. And right now he just did, looking up to the approaching footsteps before us. “Congratulations, my king.’’ The robust looking man offered. I immediately recognised his voice. And when I finally met his gaze, it clicked. “We meet again.’’ He directed at me, a broad smile on his bearded face. It was the Alpha of my mother's pack. ‘‘Oh, its a pleasure. I didn't know you were present.’’ I expressed. His brows furrowed playfully. “Did you invite your mother's family

Chapter 130Alessia's POV I stood before the mirror, sizing my large belly bump that couldn't stay hidden even under the huge dress I had on. Finally, it was my coronation ceremony. The day I got officially appointed into the position of the Queen of the Lycan kingdom. Was I nervous? Of course! Although I'd met with most of the higher-ups in terms of the hierarchical rank system personnels, eminent of my visit for recognition and formal pleasantries which wasn't an easy process having my pregnancy weighing down my strenght— thanks to Lance who always showed up wherever I turned to to help. However, today I'll be standing before a sandhill of lycans observing my every word and move. I had to play things perfectly. Now back to this pregnancy. I needed it to be almost unnoticeable during the ceremony, but this was the fifth dress and it still wasn't enough for what I wanted. The door creaked open gently and Pryia tiptoed in. She shut the door query before turning to me; head lowe

Chapter 129CYRIL’S Pov“I wouldn't stoop that low. If I wanted her dead, I'd have ended her long ago.” He scoffed. He did a great job masking the truth, my intuition almost wavered. “Alan.!!’’ I shot. I needed the outright truth and nothing else from him right now. He jerked up, meeting my gaze again. His lips almost parted but his straight face crumbled, and a heavy grunt left his lips instead. It wasn't until he grabbed onto his left breast painfully that I realised something had really gone wrong with him.“Hey!’’ I drawled, still unsure yet.But a louder groan left his lips instead, in a sharp throaty pitch. “What's wrong?’’ I rushed to him, alarmed. “Alfred!’’ I yelled. Didn't all of Alessia's poison spill out? Perhaps it had reached his heart and was now threatening life from him. ‘‘Alfr….’’“The mate bond….’’ Alan hitched, trailing words off my lips. ‘‘What?’’‘‘M– Melanie. Where is she?’’ He croaked, his eyes madly reddened and glassy. ‘‘This is… this is about her?

Chapter 128CYRIL’S POV Stunned was the word. The manner she barged in, yelling my name so loudly without any regards as to what the time of the day was. I parted my lips to speak, but I was silenced by another uproar from her…“There you are!!’’ She rushed at Alan in a flash.Before I could comprehend anything, the ripping sound of skin slashing apart with a thousand droplets blood spilling all over my desk was next. “Alessia!!’’ I rose to my feet.She'd ran her claws through Alan's cheek and was still vibrating vehemently in raw anger. I had to step in real quick, or she was throwing another fist across his face. I grabbed her just in time, lifting her foots away from Alan l“That wasn't enough! Allow me deal with him a little more!’’ She kept yelling. “Can you calm down, Alessia!’’ I yelled, fed up with the whole silly drama already She'd literally just barged into privacy; not very nice an attitude. Yet she was making more fuss. “He lied. He is not innocent and I knew it.’’

Chapter 127Alessia's POV My gaze darkened; an intense squint through which I watched Alan.What in hell? He couldn't have gone that far now could he? “What are you talking about, my king?’’ He remained neutral, making it impossible to see through his external features display. “The doctor confirmed she couldn't have taken ‘such stringent process’ of terminating the pregnancy that has kept her in a very bad shape.’’ Cyril further revealed, leaving my eyes wide in awe. “Y-you mean… Melanie is… ’’ Alan trailed off, shaking his head in a swift motion. He emerged back again with the hard unaffected expression that seemed to waver just seconds ago. “I don't know what you're driving at my king. It is true that I asked her to terminate the pregnancy and that is because it can affect my lead on the prophecy. You know that.’’ He said instead. “What prophesy?’’ I moved my gaze to Cyril. He let out a huge sigh, seemingly frustrated and confused by the whole thing. “What prophesy, Alan?’’

Chapter 8AZALEA'S POV Xendaya? That was my name? And I'm fucking pregnant with a pub right now? Not just a pub but ‘his’ pub?“Helene reported that you suffered from amnesia after the accident, which means you don't even recognize me right now.’’ He smirks sadly, trailing gentle lines in my hair which didn't just feel about right to me. What in the moon goddess’ name is he talking about? What I lost is my memories not my senses. Just yesterday, he'd spoken to me like a total stranger, without even the slightest recognition in his eyes, and now.. this?I ease away from him stylishly, trying to hide my discomfort. “Uh.. I think you have the wrong person…’’“I understand. I'll give you time to process things.’’ He nearly cut me, and even though I relax a bit now that he keeps his hands to himself, I still don't appreciate the idea of him willing to give me time to process his sudden declaration. But I choose to stay quiet, growing uncomfortable by even his presence now. “I'm just gl

Chapter 7AZALEA'S POVA strong familiar smell is thick in the air, but I can't clearly think about what it is with the thickness clawing on my brain. Throbbing pain spins through my head and the rest of my body is a mess with hotness burning under my skin. A groan squeezes out of my lips as I try to grab my head, but something holds my hand back before I can even lift it. I force my eyes open. There's a blurry view before me and peppery pain in my nose pipes. Right then, a brooding shadow appears in front of me, closing out the brightness of light from what I suppose is a window. That forces my sight to clear out immediately to see a huge man standing before me. He's dressed in a long and nearly terrifying black robe. Striking obsidian eyes stare back at me as if to strip me bare of skin on the spot. His neat blonde hair is styled in a pretty ponytail. Nothing about him feels gentle or safe. Who the hell is he?I crouch out a cough, looking away from him to find iron chains on my

Chapter 6ALPHA KLEIN'S POVOne great lesson love has taught me is patience, especially with someone as fragile as Aurelia. Finally getting her back to shape, we settle quietly in the car and I drive back home with millions of thoughts running in my head. How do I discard Aurelia now before going on about my business with my mate?I should probably get a place outside the packhouse for the omega. With Aurelia now living in the packhouse, meeting secretly with her will be quite stringent. I definitely don't want Aurelia to find out about my sextual obsession with her Not now, not soon. Picking up my phone, I text Saxon to open the mindlink and let us have a talk. Only he and Aurelia knew about my mate bond with the omega. No one else can find out about it, especially the fact that I've been sextuallly involved with her for three long years, or I'd be doomed. ‘Alpha.’ Saxon cracks through the mindlink. ‘I need you to get that omega out of the packhouse. Prepare a place for me to me

Chapter 5ALPHA KLEIN'S POV‘‘Are you even listening to me, Klein?’’ Aurelia snaps at me with visible irritation on her face, jolting me back to present. “I-I'm sorry.” I let out a raspy breath, once again trying to focus on the ongoing ceremony before me. “What is wrong with you? You’ve been zoning out since the beginning of the ceremony, you couldn't even hear the vows.’’ She complained. All she's done since today is complain about this and that. But as annoying as it feels, her complaints were unfortunately valid. ‘You can't keep interrupting my ceremony like this, Xaia.’ I tell my wolf, frustrated myself by his stubborn lividness. ‘How dare you abandon our mate for this woman!’ He snaps curtly, not having it. ‘Stop being silly! I've told you I'll go to her once we're done here. I want her too, it's not just you.’ I snap back. “Klein?’’ Aurelia calls, staring at me unbelievably. “Did you literally just ignore me?’’ She says with shaky voice. I would have felt instantly guilt

Chapter 4Azalea's PovI slip out of the bed, surprising not only Alpha Klein but even myself at my strange readiness to defend his unprecedented attack.He tugs my arm angrily. “You won't speak of rejection to my face.’’ “Why not?’’ I fire back, yanking my hand from him. But his grip is too firm. ‘‘Don't be silly now, wolfless!’’“It's Azalea. Not wolfless!’’ I yell again. I'm so done with his neglect. I won't keep letting him treat me disdainfully while he showers another woman with love.“Who cares wtf your name is?’’ He frowns, then spins me over really fast. He traps my both hands behind me and slams me against the wall. That hurt through my bones. “You don't get to make demands with me, Mate.” He spells into my ear. “I'm not done with you yet. And until I am, no one is rejecting the other.” “I'm sick of this..!’’ I gasp, pain coursing through my arms. “You hate me so much that the thought that we're mates makes your skin crawl, so why won't you reject me?’’ “I ASKED YOU TO

Chapter 3ALPHA KLEIN'S POVI step back, unarmed by her demand. My phone rings from the table behind, and Aurelia rolls her eyes, exiting into the bedroom. I don't go after her now. I return for my phone instead, swallowing the lump in my throat as the call connects. ‘‘Saxon.’’ My beta. “Alpha, we just caught one of Héctor's spy in the woods.’’ He reports. ‘‘He won't say much though, he claims to be visiting his grandmother here.’’I scoff. “Bloody punk. Bring him back and throw him in a cell. Days of starvation will force the truth out of him.’’ “Sure.’’ The call disconnects, and I squeeze the phone. That little prick, Héctor! Until when will he learn that challenging me is a death game? I don't have his time yet, father is on a deathbed and his life matters more to me currently. Speaking of which, I should go to see him soon. All he ever does is talk about my mate which is so tiring. How I must find her and when I do, I shouldn't let her slip away. Or the pack will equally s

Chapter 13Black hoodie, black face masks, with his hands tucked in his jackets in a manner that suggested they clutched something beneath. It felt like an imagination in the beginning, sensing someone behind me and turning back to see nobody. I kept tugging forward, clutching my coat, until a few windows exposed his figure following behind me. My fingers trembled in cold sweat, my legs pale from nervousness. The spot my ride was supposed to pick me up is an old subway away from the streets where a number of legs walked through. Once I was certain that the hoodie man was on my tail, I couldn't risk heading to the subway and giving him the chance to come on me. I searched nervously through my purse for my phone and it took every stream of blood in my legs to force my feet to a cold stop in the middle of the busy street.Right on the glass of my screen, I saw the masked man also stop behind a tree, fondling with his pockets like he was searching for anything. My heart sank deep into

Chapter 12 My face reddened thinking about how Darrell showed up in my office yesterday. My head had been hurting since then. I don't even want to think about how he held me possessively to himself. He used to be so good with his hands. Was it still the same now? Or did he lose his spark after two years? “Gosh, Meagan.” I palmed my face loudly, embarrassed of my image staring back at me in the mirror. “Hey, Meg. Are you okay in there?’’ Darrell knocked on the bathroom door, forcing me to a jolt. “Oh, yes please. I'll be out in a few.’’ I answered and proceeded to do my morning skin care routine. Honestly, I wasn't feeling like going to the office today. Aside the fact that I felt utterly defeated, I dreaded the thought of Darrell showing up again. I wasn't sure about how I'd take it down this time. Minutes stretched long enough for me to have picked out a dress for the day, but I was only finishing up with my face care. Surprisingly, Danny hadn't come to knock or check on

Chapter 11The first thing I noticed was her scent. It was nothing like it used to be. Her intoxicating vanilla mint flavour was completely gone, all that was left was a scent I couldn't recognise. Did she go as far as changing her natural scent just to erase the memories of me? Of us? “No. Get away from me.’’ Her voice cracked, and she slipped her hand between us, using every strength left in her feeble body to try to push me off. But there was no way I was letting her out of my arms after finally getting the chance to hold her this close. “I'm sorry.’’ I whispered, clenching my jaw to hold back the tears that threatened to sting my eyes. “Help! Somebody, please help me!’’ She screamed to my greatest shock. My heart skipped at that unnerving gesture, and I was quickly reminded about when she mentioned at the entrepreneurs party that she would scream if I didn't let her go. I realised she was really going to do it.“Hear me out, Meagan.’’ I tried to make her look at me, but sh

Chapter 10What is this? Did Naomi know something? Fortunately, if there was one thing I'd learnt in my years of experience as an entrepreneur, it is self composure even in the worst of situations. Though my heart constricted hard in my chest, I managed to keep a straight face. “You did?’’ I smirked. “He was persistent in not leaving. I had to appease him with that…’’‘‘On whose account?’’ I cut in seriously, getting irritated by her silliness.Was this even being silly? Or being plain stupid?“We are a professional entity here, which means we work according to specific organizational guidelines. Not based on some personal tastes or judgement. You can't just act out on your own because you feel it's the right thing to do!’’ I slammed a fist on the desk, forcing her to jerk away. “I-I'm sorry ma'am. I just thought… I…’’ “Who the hell cares about what you think? I see you're getting tired of this job, I'll relieve you soon enough to get some rest.’’ It was now obvious that I had

Chapter 9 Silence drew intensely across the table. Chairman Luthor’s angry eyes glaring at Danny, while madam Luthor's dumbstruck gaze swatted from Danny to me at repeated intervals. Danny was frozen by my side, giving me a ‘what was that you just said’ look. “I'm just saying it's not something we have to quarrel over. A married couple should definitely have kids, and we are not exempted.’’ I explained. The kind of quiet that rested in the car was that type that had its subjects engrossed in deep thoughts. But my thoughts kept getting interrupted by every move Danny made. Each time he tapped a finger, whirred the steering, changed his steps on the brake, etcetera. “You know I want to ask right?’’ He finally said. “I didn't mean it.” "Sure you didn't, but it sounded like you had really strong backing back there. I don't think its okay to give them the wrong idea.’’ He didn't seem fine with it at all. “Would you rather I let the quarrel escalate with your father?’’ I

Chapter 8I shoved the paper under my butt, blood leaving my face as I watched the door glide open. Meagan?“Hey!’’ Carrie walked in, frozen for a while as she regarded me. My heart pumped unusually in relief, I fought the urge to heave a heavy sign. “Oh.. hi.’’ I forced a smile. “I'm sorry. I'd been ringing the bell but you wouldn't respond.’’ She smiled awkwardly, touching her hair. ‘‘Really? I could've sworn I didn't hear any alarm.’’ I said sarcastically. “Actually… it only rang once.’’ She muttered. “Anyway, I came to see Meagan. Is she home by any chance?’’I knew it was probably rude of me to keep sitting like this, especially since the relationship between us hadn't been so bad. She was Meagan's best friend and my go-to option any time I needed an extra hand in caring for Meagan. But the darn paper under my butt. I couldn't let her read even a line of it. Carrie chuckled awkwardly. “Uh.. Mr Luthor?’’“Meagan is not home. Come again some other day.’’ I said. ‘‘I see. I
