Chapter 40 By: Tofunmi Nikky. "... And what was it the physician sensed wrong to have got me like that? you know, I felt more or less like a dying pub just few hours ago."Lucia sat up on the bed to listen to whatever shit the physician might have told him that required her chickening out like the world is ending not that long ago. And shit!...might she add that came unexpected. But then at that moment, she couldn't miss the blush that came and went across Xander's face. "Awwn...I never knew the great fiesty mighty Xander do blushes."Though it was quick as flash, but she still saw it. Right!, she couldn't miss it for the world. "Oh, come on Lucia..."Xander quickly waved her off, as he tried to clear away the still visible blush over his face. She pouted her lips and give him a puppy eyes, waggling her brows at him as if to ask 'You sure about that?'. He smirked dismissively, his face now rearranged and non evident of anymore teasing look or shades of pinks. "Well, what the doctor
Chapter 41 By: Tofunmi Nikky Charlotte..... She woke up in her cell like every other morning of her miserable existence and got ready for another day of torture. The guards let her out and she scurried to the bathroom to get ready. She looked in the mirror at her thin frame and sighed. She looked even uglier than yesterday. Her dark blonde hair was flat and dull,her green eyes were more brown, and her pale skin was littered with scars and bruises. She looked away from the mirror as the sight of herself became too much. She quickly put on the gray uniform Beta Dylan had her wear and tied back her hair before scurrying down to the kitchen. The clock read 8:30 which meant she had only a half hour to get food on the table for Alpha Xander and his inner circle. Eggs and bacon would have to do. She just hoped she could get it all ready in time. She cooked faster than she ever had before and put the plates on a tray. She carried it into the dining room to see all of the seats alrea
Chapter 42By: Tofunmi NikkyLucia marched back into Xander's chamber with her face spelling annoyance. Xander could be seen following behind her and when he got in and the guard had successfully closed the door on them, he walked in further to see her pacing to and fro the room."What went wrong, Lucia?"Xander demanded, watching her back which she has turned on him on noticing his entrance.She twirled around to face him. "Your Beta went wrong."her hands wrapped over her chest, she toned out his enquires."Several times have warned him, Lucia. He just wouldn't yield, I told him no maltreatment of slaves in my palace and he would always promise to turn a new leaf. And it still happens the next day..."he told herHe moved closer to her and holding her cheeks in his palms, he nuzzled,"...he never listen, Lucia.""Then I can make him, trust me. It might seem hard on your path since he's your Beta but it can't with me."she stated as a matter of fact. She could see the fear in the Omega's
Chapter 43By: Tofunmi Nikky"Come."she followed him through the palace, keeping her eyes on theground just like she was supposed to. She caught him glancing back at her more than once and every time, it made her hands shake. She had to clasp them together to keep them still. She followed her mate to a set of double doors that were opened by him. She followed him into what must be the outside path and way out of the palace.Soon they were at wherever he's taking her to. He motioned for her to sit on the couch and she did as she was told."I'll be right back," Her mate said and then disappeared through another door.She let out a sigh of relief once she was alone, but that relief was short lived. What was she going to do? Beta Dylan made itvery clear as to what would happen if she disobeyed him. If she didn't reject her mate he'd kill her. But if she rejected her mate, than he'd probably kill her.What was she thinking? Her mate will surely reject her himself. There's no need for h
Chapter 44By: Tofunmi Nikky"Like seriously Lucia, you should bring the Alpha along with us. You are deflating my ego with your constant refusal, you know. Why can't we just plead for him to follow us, come on, I have a lot of friends out there to stick a 'f*vk you' tongue to out there to boost up my ego."Scarlett blabbed on while Lucia just sat at the passanger's seat beside her, covering her ears with her palms. Which Scarlett doesn't seems to notice, well until...."Hey!, don't tell me you've been voicing me out all this while. Do you think it's a nice impression in the market if you go about wanting who would sell his or her salivas to you just because you wasted it on a talk your stepsister was voicing you out on all those while."Scarlett crossed her arms over her chest, obviously not impressed.Lucia dropped her hands down to her side before sighing,"Seriously Scar, I wouldn't want to destroy my eardrums now. Well, not when my wedding is taking place tomorrow. I still need ear
Chapter 45By: Tofunmi NikkyScarlett looked all round the store for any traces of Lucia but it all ends up fruitless. The only word that ran through her head was 'doom' cause literally, yes; she was doomed. So doomed.Maybe this is finally her chance to say goodbye to the world. She screeched inwardly at the mental thought of Xander slicing her throat off for making him lose his destined mate. She also jumped back in fear at the imagination of the pack members throwing her stones everywhere she went and plotting in their minds whichever way will be best to kill her off for letting them lose their Luna on a platter of gold and a god-damned shopping.She forgot about all the shopping bags and ran out of the store, there she saw a scene displaying. Some were wailing and quarter of them holds a look of pity and remorse, she moved closer to one man he saw also watching the scene like her. "Please gentleman, what happened?."she fed her curiousness that kept telling her Lucia's whereabout
Chapter 46By: Tofunmi Nikky"What the heck are you saying?."Scarlett shivered feebly at the Alpha's cold tone. It was one of the rares and the boiling rage in him dared not be watered to cool. He was angered.She choked"I don't know how I missed her in the store but on getting out, I-I was told she has been kidnapped by some rogues, maybe.""Go."he dismissed her rather quickly, his back turned at her. "Sorry Alpha, I..."Scarlett knew better not to get more on his bad side so she cut herself off in a snap and ran out of the palace.Xander clenched and unclenched his fists that it soon turned white and pale enough to draw blood. If he hasn't let her go, he also won't be able to imagine the wonders he would have done on her till he's done with her. He would have torn her apart, yes; if he'd let her stay a minute longer to get more on his throat.That god-damned shopping he didn't want Lucia to go but her stepsister just had to persuade her more. He felt pressured to follow them cause h
Chapter 47By; Tofunmi Nikky"Spread detective wolves all across the packs. If it calls for war, call me and I would surely join you fighters at the warfronts. I want expert and not bloody cowards to look for any traces that would lead to my mate within a small limit of time span. It's tonight or never!."Xander shouted across orders to each teams, as he paced before them to and fro with furious eyes.They dispersed immediately and Xander turned to face his friends; Tyson and Connor."I can't believe this is happening."Connor comments.Tyson retorts."Get it or throw it away Connor, it is.""Then what should we do then. Maybe we can--"that was all Xander stayed and was able to hear from their conversations as he walked to meet his mother and his uncle's wife; Nadia, running over to him."Any update?."His mother was the first to let out her most awaiting question, in which Nadia also nodded to from beside her with an overgrowing worried face."No, mother."Xander sighed, exhaustedly.His
