ONCE FORSAKEN, NOW THE LYCAN KING’S LUNA Chapter 24
DANE'S POV “Another one? Bleeding too?” My eyes widened as I remarked. I was enraged, flabbergasted too. No doubt, someone was out to get us. I stood by the maid, my hands clamped together. They rested on my chest as I gazed on.“Who could be doing this?” Sofia asked. Her eyes— heavy with worry.“I have no idea, but we should find out soon enough.” The girl was taken to the hospital, and the cake, it sat before me the living room.It was certain that the problem was from the cake. The poison was in it. I snorted, my fingers rubbing against each other.“Get the lady to the palace right away - the lady who had baked this cake.”I watched some soldiers race off, their heads held high. That little witch. I was going to kill her if she was behind this.Sofia sat, quiet. She seemed lost in her own thoughts so I made no attempt to disrupt her.“Why would the baker want to kill us?” I thought aloud, frowning. Sofia stared at me, her eyes sullen.“I'm shocked as well. I've thought about it h

SOFIA'S POV Someone had spoken now. Not just any words. Confessed to poisoning the cake.I smiled, but not for long. It faded like tarr the moment I saw who it was. The smile was replaced by a thick surge of anger.It was so thick that it almost choked me. My hands tightened into fists as I ogled at her. Goodness knows I could strangle her if left alone.I had barely spent a week in blood creek, but she had tried killing me thrice. “Why? Why did you poison the cake?” Dane asked, his face hard. I could see how hard it was for him seeing his own mother was behind such treason.If only one could chose their parents, no doubt he would never have chosen that woman.She laughed, roughly pulling out a chair. She sank her ass on it, chewing on goodness knows what.“I asked a question, didn't I?” Dane’s patience was waning— I could see that. It was only a matter of minutes before he strikes her down. “Well, I had cut out some slice for myself because I wanted to eat it. I added some of my d

DANE'S POV I was curious, and so was my wife who laid on my shoulders. My hand scrolled through my phone screen, carefully opening the message. It was from the hospital, but its contents still remained unknown.Finally, the screen came open. “The Allys.. The cake was poisoned with the Allys”“The Allys?” We chorused in unison, dumbstruck, then our eyes met. “Isn't the Allys a plant that grows in Mike's pack?” Sofia asked.I wasn't sure exactly, but she had lived there, and if indeed, the plant grows in Mike's pack, then there was no doubt that Mike was behind the poisoning.That wasn't all the contents of the message. “There more,” Sofia announced, her eyes widening in anger “The poisoning was done to rupture the Luna's womb, but we were able to prevent that. We would love for her to come for check-ups at the hospital for the next one week.”“Damn it!!” I flung my phone onto the bed, totally enraged. Who was the good for nothing who could have done such a thing?Sofia was as shock

DANE'S POV Mike's eyes widened. Shocked? Angry? I couldn't tell, but the look on his face was one that set me on my toes.The audacity he had. I could have landed another blow on his jaws at that moment, but I didn't. Patience — I had to exercise it.“What reason would I have to want to kill the Lycan queen?” I chuckled. His words sounded funny to me even though they weren't. Did he just ask those questions of me?“Mike, should I remind you of how you mistreated this woman while she was with you? Should I remind you of how you showed her nothing but pain and misery? You have the audacity to ask such question.”“So you think I really did try to kill her, right?” His gaze, fixed wholly on me.I nodded, mine fixed on him too. “That's right. You did try to kill her, and that's not all.”I paused, allowing my words sink in. “The aim wasn't just to kill the Lycan king. You wanted to destroy her womb, so she would never bear me a child?”Mike remain silent. This irked me so much, much more

SOFIA'S POV The name rang a bell in my ears. I froze, my eyes flickering incessantly.“Did you just mention Mike or am I hallucinating things?” I had my eyes fixed on Dane as I patiently awaited a response.He turned, his attention fixed on me. “Yes, that's right.”“What.. what is he doing here?” I shuddered, anger rising quickly in me. I swallowed hard, trying to calm myself down.“Who else do you think could have done that? The plants are only grown in his pack again which makes him the principal suspect. I brought him here for questioning.”The words of his— I didn't know if I should be pleased or upset that he didn't inform me.“But why did you inform me that he was here already? I really did want to see him. I want him to know that I am better off without him in my life.”Dane moved closer to me until there was only a few inches separating us. “He was only just brought to you this morning. I am sorry if I didn't inform you beforehand. Would you like to see him now?”I nodded, my

DANE'S POV I jumped my face without wasting a single second. If Dane was ready to confess, then it was certain he had people backing him up.I knew all along that you couldn't have acted all by himself. The Alpha from the north— There was no way I could ever place my trust in them even though they have sworn their allegiance.They were corny, cocky, and deceitful. “Why don't you wait to finish your food? It might get cold before you return.”I nodded, agreeing with Sophia. With every spoon that I took, the anger in me heightened. It couldn't be helped. I was dying to know those what plotted against me in addition to Mike. Heavens knows what I was going to do to them. Maybe the heads on a spike would be enough punishment, or their bodies being dragged by horses along the streets.I remained patience until I had downed every ounce of food before me. Jumping to my feet, I walked off, Sofia following closely behind me.The air was tense, heavy as well. Sofia remained quiet. No doubt, S

SOFIA'S POV I remained sprawled out on the chair in the living room, my gaze fixed on the TV screen that I had turned on. “What could be taking Dane so much time?” I wondered within myself, my brows creasing a bit.I pushed the thought to the back of my mind, going on with the movie that I was watching. It's been ages since I last sat before a television screen to even watch a show. Things were different now, and I had a lot of peace and happiness unlike before. The mere thought of it brought a smile to my face.Next, I heard the sound of Dane’s feet approaching. Finally, he had returned. I had thought he was going to spend the entire day getting the drugs. I raised my head to him, ready to tease him. I halted abruptly as I noticed the countenance on his face. He wore a frown, thick enough to terrify me. “Dane!!” I raised, worried. “What's the problem? Why do you look so upset? Did someone say something again?”I rose, walking quickly towards him. He placed a hand between us sha

DANE'S POV Anyone could have said that I was too harsh on Sophia, but I didn't give a damn about what anyone said or thought.How else could you explain those plants that were found in her wardrobe? If it was just placed gently in there, It was a different case entirely. It was carefully hidden, tucked away from human eyes. What would anyone have believed in that scenario? As I stood before, watching the tears flow freely down her face, a pang of guilt washed over me. I had never seen her so broken, and so emotional. “I didn't do it. I really don't have an idea how that got into my wardrobe. I'm sure.. sure someone have planted in it in there.”Wait.. this didn't occur to me, not until she mentioned it.“Someone must have done that so they could get between us. You have to believe me, Dane. You really have to.”Her entire body shook hard as she sobbed non-stop. I could bear it no more, and immediately pulled her into me. My hand patted softly against her back. “I'm sorry Sophia.

DANE'S POV It was becoming quite difficult. Damn it!! I had thought controlling the mate bond was possible, but I was wrong. What was that behavior I displayed before Sofia earlier?As I sat in my study, the feeling of guilt welled within me. It grew stronger with every passing minute until I could bear it no longer.I grunted, quickly wiping the tears that had gathered in my eyes. My feet tapped gently against the floor as I tilted my head backwards.Next, I was asleep, unconscious to whatever was happening around me. It was the most beautiful moment to me and I cherished it.Boom!! The door dashed open. I was enraged. Who could that be? And to defile my order to be left alone.As I raised my head, my gaze rested on Sofia. She stood, hands akimbo. I ogled back at her, lips glued together.“What are you doing here? I did ask to be left alone.” She scoffed, moving closer. “Why aren't you at the dining table yet?”Her tone. That was the first time she would use it, and I didn't like

SOFIA'S POV I jerked awake, panting.My life flashed before my very eyes and I surely would have died if I didn't wake up when I did.I fastened my hand around my neck and I could feel the grip on it. Whoever it was had nothing but the intention to snuff life out of me.I turned, grabbing the glass of water on the bedside table, emptying it in one gulp. It took a few minutes before I finally became myself.“Sofia,” the voice was soft, still. It could only be Dane. He stared at me, a bit worried. “Are you alright? I heard your scream from outside.”“I'm okay. Thank you.” I paused as it snapped within me. I didn't remember screaming, so how did he hear me scream?I thought for a few seconds then pushed it to the back of my mind. “It's alright. I'm here now” He wrapped his arm around me, gently making my head rest on his shoulder.My heart pounded hard. I couldn't keep calm. I wasn't sure how long it would take before my confidence in Dane is restored, but until then.“I'm still in awe
ONCE FORSAKEN, NOW THE LYCAN KING’S LUNA Chapter 71
SOFIA'S POV I was having so much fun, right until Dane stepped in. The colors in my face drained within seconds.I couldn't help it. I had no control over it. The doctor's words had stuck within me, and there was no getting rid of it.If it was true that the white wolfsbane was found in the system of all Dane’s previous women, then there was no doubt he had a hand in their death.Thinking of it alone sent chills down my spine. I swallowed hard, faking a smile. I didn't want him suspecting anything, at least not yet.Tomorrow, I will be free to return home. I would start my investigation then. I wasn't sure how I was going to go about it though.“Have you had lunch yet?” Dane stared at me, with concern in his eyes. A soft grunt. “Not yet. Selene was about to order some, when you came in.”He mumbled. I didn't exactly get the word but I was certain he doubted Selene was truly going to order the food. I wasn't sure I could ever understand those two.It was beauty.. funny too.“And have

DANE'S POV I stood, a sinister grin on my face. The doctor — that good for nothing bastard. What was he saying to Sofie when he got in?Goodness knows whatever it is. Thank goodness he was dead now. I always knew I couldn't trust him entirely.As I watched Sofia eating, a feeling of excitement washed through me. It was sudden, exciting too. There was no explanation though.I was still surprised how she managed to survived the white wolfsbane that was found in her system. Such rare poison, and she still survived.For someone who didn't have a wolf. It was the most shocking thing I had ever seen in my lifetime, but it was beautiful too.Perhaps, the gods loved me enough and decided to keep my wife with me. She raised her head suddenly, our eyes meeting.I winked. And she blushed, carefully leading the food into her mouth, spoon after spoon..We were silence, but both understood each other's thought. It was soothing, pleasing. Only for a short while though.Selene walked in. Crude and u

SOFIA'S POV I stood, dumbstruck. My eyes flickered non-stop. Nothing made sense — most especially the sight before me.“Nooooo!!” My voice pierced through the sky, loud enough to awake the dead. My heartbeat tripled. I could feel it thumping against my chest.“Someone, please help..” I screeched. I was terrified. No, that was an understatement. The way I felt right then, I had never felt such way my entire life.The door flung open right then. Dane. He stood, his eyes resting on the corpse, then on me. “What happened?” He sounded cold, fierce too.My lips parted, slowly. I tried to speak but couldn't get the words out. My hands shook. My whole body too.“He.. he's dead.”Dane dropped the food he had dropped with him onto the table. “What happened? Please don't tell me..”He stared at me in a way that made my skin tingle. His hand wrapped around my shoulder as he stood next to me. “He.. he killed himself. I don't know why, and neither do I understand his reason for it, but he did it
ONCE FORSAKEN, NOW THE LYCAN KING’S LUNA Chapter 68
SOFIA'S POV I sat still, my eyes darting around. Nothing made sense to me, definitely not the room I was in.My eyes darted around. They bore the confusion in my heart as I remained still. The door flung open abruptly. A nurse strolled in. She was fully covered. Strange. My brows creased as I glared at her for answers.“Finally! You're awake.” She smiled. It was quite contagious, but not to me though. “What's going on? Why am I here?” My displeasure was obvious, not in any way hidden.“You shouldn't be sitting here,” she muttered as I tried sitting upright. A sharp pain hit me hard in the back. I groaned, laying backwards at once.I was puzzled, and this nurse wasn't making things easier. Why wouldn't she answer me? My patience was starting to wane. “Why am I here?” Again, I asked. I snapped. “The doctor will be here soon,” she responded, and that was all. Her lips remained grimly pressed against each other as she did some things in there. I didn't pay attention to it, so there w

SELENE'S POV This is the first time you'd be hearing directly from me. I'm the only one in the right state of mind to do so though.Sofia was unconscious, fighting for her life. Dane was a shadow of him, broken by the causality that had befallen his wife.I sat in a corner, my hands fiddling against each other. The tears grew in my eyes. For the last hour, they had flown freely down my face…No attempt did I make at stopping them. An hour, and Sofia was still in the theatre.“We would have to operate on her,” the doctor had said to Dane and I after Sofia's examination. “She's been poisoned.” His voice had been cold. “A rare kind of Wolfsbane. We would have to operate on the queen.”Dane’s face had grown cold. He was terrified. Who could have done that to his wife? “Please do everything you can to save her.”It felt like an entire day had gone by since then. I was impatient. Seeing Sofia alive and well was all I wanted.“She'll be fine.” My arm wrapped around him. He snorted, his hea

DANE'S POV The name seemed to ring a bell, or maybe I thought it did.“No, I don't.” I smiled as Sofia flung the question in my face. We remained in each other's arms and the long for her intensified. My cock had grown hard, pressing hard through the trousers I wore. No doubt, Sofia could feel it against her thigh.Right then, my belly made a loud rumble. Sofia raised her head to me, laughing. “That was loud, wasn't it?”“You should ignore it.” “You sure? Have you had anything to eat today?” She asked, a worried grimace on her.I shook my head. “I can eat after I have eaten.” I leaned closer, my lips sucking hard at her neck. She giggled, a soft moan trailing from her lips. She pushed forward, her boobs pressing hard against my chest. Her nipples stood taut, pleading to be caressed.I latched at them, fondling with reckless abandon. She giggled, wincing. “Do you know what I'm going to do now?” I whispered gently at her, nibbling at her ears.“Oh I do.” Her eyes rolled. Just the wa

SOFIA'S POV Soon, it was the close of school. I was pleased, and happy too. Quite exhausted and warned nothing but to relax. Selene was done with her class too. She smiled as she approached me, picking her steps one after the other.“So how was your first day at school, generally?” Her hand held mine— warm and tender. I exhaled, my eyes filled with a strange joy.“It was nice. Really really nice. It would be lovely coming here everyday, or what do you think?” Silence. Then a deep sigh. I knew what that sigh meant though.“I can bet you'd soon get tired of coming here. You're only this excited before it's the first time after a long while.”I giggled. She was right, but not entirely. I could never get tired of studying, or even coming here to the school. There was this happened that came with being here.“Maybe. Maybe not. Waiting till that moment to find out would be better…” “I'm a bit hungry. You?” I clutched my stomach, my lips pouted. “Same here.. we can grab some food at a r
