Here is the second chapter as promised. Thank you all for the support!!!
Luke. The day of reckoning was finally upon us. I had knots in my stomach even though I wasn't the one fighting Regan. I had a foreboding that things might not go as planned, and I planned not to be overconfident, because arrogance always brings failure. Not wanting to underestimate Regan, I decided to have a meeting in our suite before we moved to the battleground. The news helicopter was already broadcasting on the television even though no one was on the field. Caleb picked up the television remote and put it on mute. Sitting down on the couch, he faced me. "It's finally here, big brother," He said, and we both looked at our father where he was sitting. He looked calm, as if he was not bothered. "I have waited twenty-three years for this, and now it is here. I really don't know how to feel about it." My father confessed, and I smiled at him. "One-on-one, you will win, but you must be careful with that fucker. He has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and I do not want us to be caug
Luke. Tired and just pushing, my legs were about to give out when I heard loud voices and gunshots. The attackers sounded like women, and I dared to look in the direction they were coming from. The number was incredible, and she was shooting at the markless wolves with extreme vengeance. Another group of wolves with an Alpha in the lead came from another direction, and they were many. I wondered whose side the wolves were on, but seeing that they were killing Regan's men, I knew they were on our side. Where did Tia get all these people from? I should be mad, but I was fucking glad that she came. "Tia and Stacy are here with fighters," Mike linked me, and I could feel the joy he was experiencing. We got up and began to push back, fighting with a new determination. The women soon ran out of ammunition and began to shift. They had reduced the number of enemies drastically. Unlike Neev soldiers, the women had arrived with the right weapons, silver. Tia shifted partially and continued to
Tia. Stacy and I had to prepare to head to Neev in a rush. We could not take much with us so we could travel faster. I wasn't a fan of road travel, but that was the best option. The women were excited, especially after I had assigned ranks to them. They took it seriously even though it wasn't real. They were eager to show what they had, and the fact that we would be going up against Regan gave them a new determination. A lot of them had it in for him. I knew if they had the opportunity to catch him on a one-on-one, they were bound to kill him. Which explained why the guy lurked in the shadows all these years. He was afraid of being caught. While we loaded ourselves in the transport, I had to address them again. "Ladies, I know we are pumped up for a fight but remember, everyone that is not on our side is fair game except for Regan. His death will be slow and painful, so we should only injure and capture him!" I said, and they all agreed. Stacy looked at me and smiled. She was all ge
Luke We landed at the base in Woodclaw City. When we exited the helicopter, I breathed in Woodclaw City's air and was glad to be home. We moved towards the exit of the building and were greeted by a crowd of happy residents when we stepped out. People cheered and welcomed us home. The press was there, and they were in our faces. "Alpha, Alpha, please tell us how you successfully overcame Regan after he double-crossed you and tried to cheat?" A man asked my father, shoving the mic in his face, and he looked at me and smiled. "You are asking the wrong Alpha," he said and pulled Stacy along with him, protecting her from the crowd as they made their way to the car. The press moved to me immediately, and I cursed under my breath because I did not need the attention right now. "Alpha, Alpha. Can you tell us what happened after Regan's men shot the helicopter from the sky? The people need to know because we are worried," a woman asked, and I looked at Tia, who shook her head vehemently. I
Tia THREE MONTHS LATER. I woke up from the bed with my entire body aching. I was going to be due in two weeks, and I couldn't wait. My bathroom rounds were very frequent now. Luke was sitting on the couch, working on his laptop. As usual, I wanted to brush my teeth before interacting with him. I went to the toilet to ease myself and brush my teeth. I returned to the room, and Luke was still busy with this computer. "Good morning, darling?" he greeted me, and I sat on the other couch in the bedroom. He put down his computer and came to kiss me. "What are you doing?" I asked him, and he smiled and kissed my belly. "Searching for a real vacation home by the beach in Eastwood," he said, and I raised an eyebrow. "Have you decided on the names yet, as we discussed?" I asked him, and he had a guilty face that screamed 'No'. "Luke," I complained, and he squatted by my feet to massage them. "Don't worry, darling, we will sort that out soon," he said, and I moved my foot away. "I do n
Stacy. I spent three months missing Aesop. It was hard. Sometimes I wished I didn't leave, but I needed time alone. All my life, I had been in someone's shadow. First, it was my parents, then Regan and then Aesop. I never had the time to discover myself and learn my weaknesses and strengths. I never had the time to love myself. I never had the time to stop and smell the roses. I was always on edge. I was always trying to keep things together. My marriage, my reputation, my secrets; name it. I was always trying to keep things, hoping they didn't fall apart. I was humiliated and abused for it. My mother abused me mentally, emotionally and verbally. Regan abused me physically, mentally, sexually, emotionally, verbally and financially. Then Aesop came into my life and abused me emotionally. My life was filled with abuse, and soon it became a routine, a norm that shouldn't have been. Deep down, I believe that was what love was about; hurt and abuse, until Tia and Luke. Watching the two ma
Tia SIX MONTHS LATER Luke and I woke up late, so we had to rush to prepare for breakfast. Chloe and James were peaceful babies, and even though they had nannies, we checked on them at night to ensure they were alright. They were a blessing. Paul was growing well too. Doctor Khalifa had said his heart was now in good shape, and he could do whatever he wanted, which was great news. Our lives were back on track. Diamond corp was running again, and we had entered a highly beneficial trade agreement with Santa Braee, which was bound to help our poor territories improve. Everything was moving fine. We were at the peak of our happiness, and I was grateful to the goddess for the bliss. Luke and I got ready and arrived at the lounge. Alpha Aesop and Stacy were there. They usually got there before everyone. He had trimmed his beard and hair. He also gained some weight and stopped wearing Pyjamas to breakfast. Grandaunt Ummul was there with her caregiver. Aunty Amirah was missing, and I did no
