HectorStanding in front of my chamber was the con artist. The fool I have given enough chances to prove himself, and now I was snapping out.I couldn't keep hiding in the dark when I could just get out and claim what I wanted."Did she like my cradle?" I asked, my voice sharp, void of any emotion."Yes, Your Eminence, she liked it," he uttered, stuttering a bit."Kia, I'm running out of patience, you know. When are you going to get Alexa to me as promised?""I'm working on it, and in no time, I will have Alexa beside you," he cooed, trying to persuade me with his words.But I wasn't having it with him this time. "Bring me Alexa. In a week... Last chance. Now out of my sight!"He bowed fearfully as he left.KendellHe thought he could trap Alexa away from me? He must be kidding. I had my ways, and I could make Alexa come pleading to me.But let me not be the manipulator here. Let my pawns use th
AlexaMy eyes laid steadily onto Vivian's face, fathoming what games she was trying to play, and just then, her demeanor changed and she burst out laughing, shocking even me."You should have seen your face, Luna," she added mid-laugh. "Of course I remember our plans, Luna—and also Ciara, your sister."I exhaled a sigh of relief. "Gosh, you got me. For a moment, I thought I had gone mad...""No, Luna, you are still sane," she joked."I'm sorry I did that..." Vivian gave an apologetic look, bowing her head. "I just wanted to lighten the mood, as you seemed terrified when I got in here.""Well, you almost fed me my heart.""I'm sorry, Your Majesty," she apologized again, not without displaying a sly smirk."Vivian, was Nana here?" I asked, trying to confirm where I could track the scene the nightmare started."Yes..." She stretched a bit."When I came in earlier on, I saw her, and you both seemed to have had a
AlexaVivian...She had her arms wrapped around Elder Dexter. They seemed happy with themselves.Maybe she was into older men. I shoved off the thoughts as I continued away from them.I fell back into my soft bed. I couldn't stop thinking about last night even if I wanted to. I turned continuously on the bed... I didn't even notice a presence in my room."Why are you glowing all shades of pink?" Her voice came out soft like silk.I turned up to meet her gaze. "Nana, you are here.""Yes, Alexa," she smiled as she sat by my side. "How are my pups doing?" she asked as her hands went to my belly."They are fine," I smiled.She let out a deep breath as if contemplating her next words."Alexa, about Vivian, I still feel you should disconnect your association with her.""Why, Nana?" I asked in a frown.Why was everyone warning me against her, without actually giving me a good reason not to?She sighed... "I saw Vivian at the store the other day," Nana stated. "She was purchasing something I
AlexaI stared at my reflection in the mirror, trying to ruffle my hair, and quickly change into something different.The image of Kendell kissing Vivian still etched on my mind like a cruel scar.A tear welled up at the corner of my eye. I bit my lip hard, forcing it back. I couldn't cry. Not now.I thought it would be easy.I thought it had played out nicely.But no... I wasn't liking this one bit... Vivian's plans were already driving me crazy, and I don't think I could play along any longer without breaking.Shortly after, Kendell barged into my room, and I tried so deeply to pretend to be asleep, and then waking up to his sounds. Those were the hardest minutes in my entire life.It was like torture I had subjected myself to.I stared at the face of the man who made me experience another level of intimacy last night. His vulnerability, his soft embrace, how he had cuddled up his pups...And then she made it just in time to stop me from making a mess of our plans.For Ciara. I cont
KendellThe soft wind of the mornings blew in a faze... Last night still replayed in my mind. My eyes were still closed as I reminisced about it... I feared if I opened my eyes it would all turn out to be a dream.I sigh as I went through the events of last night... Alexa and I were involved in a heated passion, our bath, she lying by myself on the bed, using my arms as her duvet.I couldn't feel her presence in my room. Maybe I was right all along.She used me... Again.I sighed disappointed at myself... Stupid that I could believe Alexa would suddenly change overnight.She had mentioned Vivian spoke to her. How foolish of me to believe those were good stuff.The sun slowly found its essence, as I could feel its glow resting up on.I shot my eyes open slowly. I shifted my head to the side... And I was right, Alexa had left, same as always.Searching, my sleepy eyes grumbled, I stood up and headed to the bathroom. I flung the door open, still on my business, when I felt warm small ha
Unknown POVBright Claw PackXena stood, staring out the window, watching as he rode back into the Kingdom. "He must have made a fool of himself in the Silver Wolves Pack," she thought. He looked frustrated. Maybe his meeting with that bîtch didn't go well, she thought again, before closing the blinds and going back to bed, waiting for his arrival. Norman barged his way into the palace, ignoring the greetings of everyone, even Wade, his Beta. He walked hastily towards his chambers. "What are you still doing here?" he shot back at Xena, who sat on the bed, sipping on something. She elegantly dropped the glass before turning to him. "What do you mean?" she questioned nonchalantly. "You know what I mean, Xena..." he shot back, not willing to engage in her wordy banter. "I assume your meeting went well," she joked as she sipped her drink. "Any more words from you, and I will make sure I behead you," he spoke, his body shaking. Xena chuckled as she strode to her husband, kn
