Chapter Two
Alarick, The Alpha King"Why isn't Dennis back yet," Alarick panted around in the room with his hands on his waist, "He should be here by now," he murmured."Your highness," the pack's witch moved closer to him and bowed, "He is going to get back to us with the news soon, and I am sure it is going to be a good news," she added."This is your fault Morgana," Alarick groaned, "You told me that you've found her and you know everything about her, but I guess you only tricked me to coming into this fucking human realm," he shook his head and turned to the window.Morgana sighed, she knew the alpha king really well, one has to be careful with him or they would have themselves to blame.Alarick's wolf, Leo was possessed by the demon whose name was called Ubel.Leo, who has been possessed by the demon Ubel, has the control over Alarick's body and mind, he controls him and makes him do whatever he wants sometimes.Often times, he would take complete control over his mind and make him do whatever he wanted, leaving Alarick devasted and confused after getting back to his real self."Your highness, the greatest king that has ever ruled the brown east pack," Morgana smiled, "I know for a fact that you are pissed about Dennis' slowness, I also know that you are not okay with staying in the human realm, but I am so sure we won't go back to our realm empty handed. We will go back with that woman, just trust me," she concluded, hoping she had successfully convinced Alarick to be calm.Leo, Alarick's wolf gets more chance to take over his mind when he is angry. Whenever Alarick gets angry about something, the wolf takes over his mind and he gets empowered by the dark power of the demon, making him act in a way he wouldn't have acted if he was in his right state of mind."Your highness," Morgana said again with her head bent, she was trying all her best to make sure that Alarick wouldn't get angry, she wouldn't be able to do anything about him if he gets angry, he might even kill her.Alarick turned back to her and sighed, "I hope you are saying the truth," he sighed and took a sit on the king sized bed in the hotel room.They had been in the human realm for less than twenty four hours and he was already tired of being there, it was like the whole place was suffocating him, he just wanted to finish up the business he came for and go back to his world, he wanted to go back to where he belongs to.The breeze, the sound, the people, everything felt different to him."Your highness, the king," someone said and walked in, he went flat on his chest, "Yes I know I have been so slow in doing my job, I am here to tell you that I have found her," he added.Alarick jumped up from the bed, "You found her?," he asked with a smile on his face.His smile wasn't because he was excited to meet her, although he was, a bit. He wanted to see who this person was and if she was fit to be his mate, he also wanted to do all he came to do and go back his world.Alarick needed a heir, for a reason which was known to him and some other members of the pack. Although, he already had a chosen mate, one whom he got mated to, to settle the dispute between his pack and her pack, but the only one who could carry his heir was his real mate.Morgana was assigned by him to help him find his mate, and she did, he was going to meet her in some minutes."Let's go," Alarick said to Dennis and they headed out along with Morgana.They checked out and got to the garage, "Here you go your highness," Dennis said and opened the car door for him to go in.Dennis was Alarick's personal bodyguard, he follows him to wherever he goes. Dennis was the only one who volunteered to be his bodyguard as others were scared of what happened to Alarick's previous bodyguards.He had killed about five of his bodyguards out of anger, he only get to see that after he had calmed down.Few minutes into the driving, Dennis pulled over beside a young lady who was of the middle twenties, "There she is your highness," he said and pointed to the lady who didn't stop moving."Did I tell you that I need a maid?," Alarick asked scornfully, "I don't need one, I have lots of slave in the palace, shall we go to see my mate now," he added.Dennis sighed, "This is your mate your highness," he said again, hoping he wouldn't get angry because he had a very bad temper.Alarick pushed the car door open like he was going to tear it down, Dennis and Morgana also alighted from the car."That thing is my mate?," he asked, "This can't be, why are the heavens against me," he shouted and they both shook."Talk to him," Dennis whispered to Morgana, "I can't handle him, just talk to him, don't let him get angry," he trembled in fear."Your highness," Morgana started and cleared her throat, she was also scared, but she had no choice than to talk to him, "You don't have to take her as your mate, remember you're not getting mated to her," she continued and moved closer to him, "She just has to carry your baby and that will be all, she will leave after the delivery," she added.Alarick sighed, he seemed to buy Morgana's idea, "That's a great one," he sighed and a smile fell on Morgana's face, "Just a deal with her to carry my child and she would be gone," he added and walked towards the young lady who seemed not to be conscious of what was happening around her."Hey," Alarick called, "Hey," he called again but got no answer from this woman.Why does he have to do that?, he was the alpha king, he was above everyone else, "Wait," he said and pulled her back by her arm.It took few minutes for the lady to turn back, the lady who turned out to be Leanda, "Who are you?," she asked.Alarick didn't say a word, he kept staring at her, wondering what the heavens were thinking when they made a lowlife human like her his mate, what were they expecting him to do with a human who had little to no energy in her?.Except that she was his mate, and he could feel some connections with her, there was nothing else about her, she was a lowlife to him, she was even lower than the omegas."Who are you?," Leanda asked again, but Alarick still couldn't give her an answer.Another thing that bother him was if his child was going to be a lowlife like the lady standing before him, will his child also not have powers like this human girl?, that will be a disgrace to him, his pack and to his entire clan.He was starting to have a second thought about the whole surrogacy idea, what if his child comes out with no energy just like this lady."What do you want from me?," she yelled this time.There was no going back, he needed a heir, he would have to let her carry his child, "I want you to carry my child," he blurted out."What!," she exclaimed and stared at him for minutes, "Is this a joke?," she asked."Do I look like a comedian?," he retorted, "I want you to carry my baby for whatever amount you want, just mention it and it will be yours," he added.Leanda threw his hand off her, "I think you've got the wrong person," she said and walked away.Alarick tried hard not to get angry, he also knew what would happen if he does, he had been told about how he behaves whenever he gets angry, he one time saw the video, he didn't want that to happen again.He turned to Dennis, "What is her name?," he asked."Leanda," Dennis answered."Leanda," Alarick called out and ran to her, he pulled her back forcefully and towards the car, "You have to listen to me," he said."And what if I don't want to listen to you?," she shouted, "By the way, how do you know my name?," she was confused, she had never seen this man before, how come he knows her name.Alarick smiled, "You should know by now that you were wrong when you said I got the wrong person, you are the one I'm looking for," he responded."And what the hell do you want from me?," she shouted."I want you to carry my child, is that difficult for you to understand?," he asked, his stomach rumbled, "I will give you whatever amount you want, just accept to do it," he added.Leanda Smiled, "And what if I don't accept to it?, I don't even know you, I've never met you before, and you want me to carry your child," she grumbled."You don't need to know me woman, and I don't even want to know you, I just want you to carry my child, and that will be all," he went on."You know I can sue you for this, this is an humiliation, I can have the cops arrest you," she was just threatening him, she wanted him to back off, she really couldn't waste her time going to the Station to write a statement or whatever they do there, she had just few hours to make a hundred thousand dollars, even though that sounded impossible, she wanted to try, she just couldn't stay without doing nothing."You can do nothing," Alarick laughed, "With just a snap of my finger, I can burn this whole place down," he chuckled.Morgana sighed. Yes, Alarick can do it, he was as powerful as that, and more powerful when his wolf gets the chance to take over him, he could that if he wants."I'm not scared of you, those are empty threats," Leanda said and tried to leave but he pulled her back."Let me go," she yelled, "I can't even imagine myself being with a man like you, is this how you were trained to treat women?," she shouted."Women?," Alarick laughed, one that was intimidating, "Do you count yourself as one?, you are not even close to my slaves, you are not as beautiful as they are," he laughed again, "I know you need the money, you look like you've been suffering, you will need the money to make your life and...""How dare you," Leanda shouted and landed a slap on Alarick's face. She couldn't hold back her tears any longer, why was everyone talking to her and treating her like she wasn't a human?, what has she done wrong?, as it also gotten worse to the point where a total stranger would just see her and start humiliating her?."I don't want your money," she cried, "Stay away from me," she added and turned to leave again but this man still pulled her back and pinned her to his car."You slapped me," he shook his head and leaned closer to her, "You can't go Scot free after laying your hand on me, the first thing I will do after getting you under me is cut that hand off," he threatened, but it didn't sound like a threat, he could do it if he wants to."Let me go," Leanda shouted, she tried to get away from him, but obviously he was stronger than her.Alarick pinned her to the car, he could feel his wolf struggling to take over his body and mind, but he fought it back, he shouldn't do anything wrong, that could hinder him from going back to his world.The slap made his wolf more angry, and one other thing was triggering him, Alarick could feel the urge of it to hurt that woman, be knows when his wolf wants to hurt someone."You have no other choice, you have to do this," he growled"I have a choice, I am not going to do what you want Mr, just let me go," Leanda retorted, "Leave me alone," she cried, she was helpless, she wasn't even close to this man in terms of strength, how was she going to get away from him?."Listen to me," Alarick shouted and raised her chin, "I tend to get whatever I desire, and you won't be an exemption. I will make you carry my baby, I don't care about you, what you want, or what you want. I will make you do what I want, and I will also make you pay for slapping me, you're not going to go Scot free, you can trust me on that," he growled."Let me go," Leanda screamed and pushed him away, "I don't want to carry your child, I won't do it," she yelled, "Don't you dare come after me," she added and took to her heels."I will make her do it whether she likes it or not," Alarick said to himself.CHAPTER NINETY-FOURThe SentenceAlarick’s heart thumped in his chest as he held on to the result, it was like his heart was going to burst out wide. He shook his head and pinched himself stylishly, just to be sure that he wasn’t dreaming and he was seeing right.He gazed back at the result and it only stared back at him, the same thing he saw before. His greatest fear peered at him, it was becoming a reality and there was nothing he could do about it, he was loosing himself and the one he loved, and he had nothing to say, he couldn’t do anything to stop it.His soul shattered as he shook his head, “0.00%.” He murmured and a tear escaped from his eyes.His greatest fear has become a reality, against all his wishes, against all his prayers. He held on to the result, his hand shook from rage and anguish, he felt like he was loosing everything he owned, he felt like he was loosing all he cared about, and he just didn’t know what to do.His hands shook as he stared at the report again. He
CHAPTER NINETY-THREEThe ResultLeanda paced back and forth in the room, her heart thumped in her heart with each step she took, it was just less than an hour to the twenty-four hours that was said by the physician and she would soon find out her fate.She chewed on her finger as she paced back her forth, murmuring a silent prayer that the result turns out to be what she wants, she prayed that Alarick turns out to be the father of the baby, that was the only thing she wanted.She felt like her heart would burst out wide as it kept missing a beat, she staggered over most of her steps as she walked up and down, she hoped that things would go the way she wanted and she wouldn’t have to go away from Alarick.He was her live, he was the man she loved and she couldn’t imagine her life without him, she couldn’t imagine being away from him.The worse that was would happen was being taken by Lyall away from the kingdom, and just the thought of that terrified her, she didn’t want to be away fro
CHAPTER NINETY-TWOThe Test"Let's go!" Lyall shouted and grabbed Leanda’s hand, forcefully pulling her along with him.Leanda turned back again to see Alarick still standing in the same spot he was, her heart broke into million pieces as she watched his emotionless face.“A…Alarick,” she murmured as she was pulled forcefully by Lyall, who didn’t even give her the chance to say her goodbyes, he kept on dragging her without looking back.Tears rolled down Leanda’s eyes, she knew she made a mistake, she knew she had committed a big sin, she knew she had done something unforgivable, but she doesn’t want to go away from Alarick, she wanted to be with him but he seemed like he doesn’t want that.Her shoulders shook as she was being dragged away, she didn’t know what else she could do, she wanted to stay, she wanted to be with Alarick, but she had destroyed their relationship with the mistake she made, Leanda felt responsible for the situation she had found herself.Suddenly, Lyall found hi
CHAPTER NINETY-ONEHer Infidelity “I have the pictures and video here,” Lyall said and moved closer to Alarick, “Now, you will have no other option than to believe that this woman is not who you think she is,” he added and glared at Leanda.Leanda hung her head, it was all her fault, she was responsible for this situation she was in, she was responsible for it all.How could she have believed Lyall? She trusted him and believed that he was a friend and now the same one who professionally acted like the best man she had ever met was destroying everything she had worked for. Leanda could remember what she had to go through before Alarick realized he was in love with her and even with the presence of the baby, she thought it was going to be a happy life for them afterwards. She thought she was finally going to live her dreams of being with the man she loved and living a happy life afterwards, but now she doesn’t think that such thing would ever happen.Lyall held Alarick’s hand and pl
CHAPTER NINETYThe Conspiracy Alarick cupped Leanda’s face and looked into her teary eyes, he still couldn’t believe all Bree was saying and he wanted to hear from her directly, he wanted to hear her say that it was the truth before believing it. “Tell me Leanda, is she saying the truth?”“Yes, she is.” A voice said. They all turned back to see Lyall walking towards them, “Yes, she is carrying my baby, and the future king of the Blood Moon Pack,” he added as he walked to them.“You.” Alarick growled, his resentment grew inside of him, just with the sight or Lyall. He has detested him right from the day he met him in that compromising position with Leanda, and even after that, it got to him that Leanda went back to see him.Alarick didn’t want to believe that leanda went to him on her own free will, he believed that she might have been forced to do that and Lyall would be behind it all because he looked like a cunning person to him, just like his sister.“She is carrying my child, and
CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINEThe Heir Of The Blood Moon PackBree looked up at Leanda with a smile which changed into a wicked smirk almost immediately, “this woman right here is carrying the child of my brother, Lyall, the prince of the Blood Moon Pack.” She announced with a big smile on her face.“What!” Alarick and Leanda exclaimed.There it was, Bree’s entire plan, and why she had been silent all along. That was she had been planning and why she had been quiet, she was planning a big strike, one which leanda wouldn’t be able to escape from. She had it all planned and was waiting for the right time to strike.Leanda just stood frozen on the spot, unable to say or do anything, she had been caught by Bree and she was unable to think about anything that might save her from this situation.She thought she was safe and she was finally out of her plan when Bree didn’t talk about it, but she never knew that she was planning a bigger plan, one she wouldn’t be escape from, she didn’t know what to do
