WRITER'S POV

After Laura left Derrick's office, she went to Derrick's parents quarters.

“Who are you, miss?” a maidservant asked her after she rang the bell.

“What?” Laura gasped in disbelief. “Miss? Who am I?”

She glanced at herself wondering if she had changed so much that people walked past her without recognizing her. Most of the guards didn't recognize her and questioned her at every point in the house as though she was some intruder. No respect whatsoever, and now she was even being asked who she was. In her parents-in-law's house by some measly maidservant. Well, she was going to put an end to that real soon.

“Tell Mrs Kings, Laura is here.”

“Laura?” The maid asked back, eyes slightly widening.

Laura grinned inside. That was exactly the reaction she was expecting.

“Yes Laura. Her daughter in law.”

The maid quickly retreated inside. She returned a moment later and led Laura in. Laura was asked to wait in the waiting room as the ones she'd come to see were busy and would j

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    ANOTHER WEDDING

    WRITER'S POV Laura did not hesitate. As soon as she left Mrs Kings, she headed to Derrick’s office where she was sure he'd the at. She was glad she dealt nicely with Mrs Kings. Derrick's father was never going to be a problem. He was never present anyways. Arriving at Derrick's office, she was told to wait a bit for him to be informed by one of the guards. This made her flare up. “What? You expect me to wait for you to go in there and come out?” She shouted at the guard. “I'm done with y'all poverty stricken snobs. How dare a commoner like you tell me what to do? Do you know who I am?”Rick came out. “What's going on?” “Ask this snob!” Laura gritted pointing at the guard. “He is stopping me from seeing Derrick! Can you imagine the smelly guts!”Rick glanced at the guard. “Forgive me, my Beta. I was only following the king’s orders,” the guard pleaded his cause. He faced Laura. “Derrick just finished having a meeting and having a rest. How about you come back a bit later?”Laura

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    ABANDONED

    LIA BLAKEWith force I pushed open the door and stormed into my room. The moment I slumped onto my bed, all the emotions I thought I had held back broke free and tears streamed down my face. I clutched my face in my hands and wailed. I wailed like I hadn't done before. As my tears flowed, the memories of the day flooded into my head. A day supposed to be one of the best days in my life turned out to be a painful one for me. >Snatching myself up in the most pretty dresses I ever owned with a perfect make-over, the type I rarely do, I had dolled up myself for my school prom night. The last I would have as a high school kid. Yes, it shouldn't just be my last but my best as well, I had thought. I was totally over the moon and It wasn't just that I was attending my last school prom night but a part of it was that I would be attending it with my crush. I couldn't have been more excited. "Please have you seen Carlos?" "Have you seen Carlos? He is handsome and has

    LIA BLAKE Phew! I drew in a quick breath. I was standing at the cliff of a mountain. The air was light and as it brushed against my skin, it caressed my pores and left me feeling refreshed. That moment, I got a chance to not feel miserable. How sad must my wolf have felt. We just thought…just maybe Carlos and I will ever get a chance to be together. I beat my chest and bit my lips suddenly feeling a surge of determination. Yes, it was just a crush. I have to be brave now. For myself and for my wolf and brush this lurking sadness off me. I gulped thickly as I felt my tears choke down my throat. Yes, this was the best thing I should do for myself. The thought of seeing Carlos gallivant the entire pack with his mate was just a lot for me to handle. Yes, call me jealous, but it hurts me everyday. Maybe someday the moon goddess will be kind enough to give me my own mate. If she is even kinder and listens to Jimmy's prayers, she would make him the best man in the whole wide world

    LIA BLAKE"What the hell have you done to me?" I muttered in disbelief. Gosh, what happened to Lia Blake that I used to know? The last time I came close to looking this snatched up was last summer at the school prom night. Of course it didn't end well for me.She walked to the wardrobe and pulled out a white long lacy and extremely pretty dress. Wait…isn't that a …a wedding dress. "A wedding dress?" My eyes widened. She extended it to me and said, "Put it on…erm but before then I would like to say something…" Now this is beginning to get scary. Who exactly is this woman before me…She hung the wedding dress in one of the hanger, ran her fingers on it as though she didn't want to leave it but for some reason had to."You know, I have always been excited for this moment…my wedding, the night I get to be fully joined in marriage to my mate and love of my life…well…life doesn't always go as planned…" her voice went low. I could feel the sadness in her tone. Who exactly is she and why d

    Lia BlakeI heard a rustling and creaking sound in my sleep. I forced my eyes to shut even more. All through the night, the cold had gotten worse and the entire hairs on my body had stood erect as the cold hammered against my body. I was a bit thankful for the wedding dress. The long length had been of help. A typical example of a blessing and curse. The air got colder and the terrible stench of the dungeon got worse by the second. I couldn't catch a glimpse of sleep even though I had my eyes shut most of the time. I did more stopping myself from breathing than trying to sleep. But each time I squinted my eyes towards the prisoner, he always looked to be sound asleep curled up in one corner of the dungeon. I wondered how he could have offended the Lycan King to find himself here, how long he must have been here and how many more days, perhaps weeks or months he had to stay here. Poor him. Lia, worry more about yourself. The thought of being his prison mate had goosebumps crawling

    DERRICK KINGS"What is it, Damian? And why did you have to come here? You are stopping the guards from doing their duty." I frowned at Damian when we were away from the guards and the intruder lady. "Derrick, I know I shouldn't be doing this but think carefully about this…" Damian started, his playful grin gone from his face. "Think about what?""Her…you can't have her locked up, don't tell me you are doing this because of…"Because of what?" I snapped, feeling my anger surge. Knowing what exactly he was trying to bring up, I cut him off, not willing to reopen an old wound that moment. "She has a hand in the disappearance of Laura and must be held hostage until Laura is found." "Do you really believe she has a hand in Laura's disappearance?" Damian asked me. I looked at him, confused. "What the heck are you trying to say?" I clenched. "Relax man, relax. I just asked. But if you will let me speak to you right now as your Beta and not your friend, I will advise you to deal with th

    LIA BLAKE"Wear this!" An older woman flimsily threw some cloth at me. Unable to catch it, the cloth dropped to the ground. She was putting on a servant's clothing and I knew at once she must be one of the elderly servants. "And you are not allowed to be clumsy here! Get your tiny self into them and get your arse down for some work! You stink!" She added, shot me a disgusting look before she walked out of the room slamming the door behind her shot. I stared down at myself, at the once extremely pretty wedding dress I wore that had now turned into a complete mess and stinking badly from the stench of the dungeon. Anyone would hardly believe it. I sighed tiredly and sank into the nearby seat. Well, it was actually the only seat in the somewhat large room. "You will be my wife…" the words of the Lycan King echoed in my head. Such good meaning words said with so much venom and cruelty. Cold shivers creeped my flesh and I shuddered. To any she-wolf, those words were pleasing to hear

    LIA BLAKE"Don't worry, you will get used to it." Ma'am Lucy said as though she read my thoughts. There were some guards guarding the frontage of the different axis of the exquisite buildings. "He really is the king…" I murmured in awe gaping around the place. My father's house, despite how I usually saw it as one of the finest houses in my pack, was like nothing compared to this beauty. "Excuse me, we are here to see the king…He is aware of our coming." I heard Ma'am Lucy ask one of the men on duty. I didn't hear the guard speak but Ma'am Lucy was soon calling out to me. "Come along girl! The King is waiting.""Yes ma'am," I mumbled still partly in awe as I took quick long strides to catch up with her. She pushed open the entrance door and we let ourselves in. The dead silence of the room struck me the moment we stepped in. A series of portraits and pictures of people I guessed to be legends or perhaps had an impact on the pack hung on the wall. "This is the throne room, not

    WRITER'S POV“Shouldn't we do something?” Rick sighed, glancing at Damian. The two were in Derrick's office and he was not in for the third consecutive time in a week. It had been so. Ever since Lia was sent away. “Derrick is depressed. We should do something,” Rick added. Damian exhaled slowly. He knew that too. He knew that but he was clueless on what they should do because they'd never seen him that way before. “Will he be alright?” He looked at Rick. Doubting the answer that came to his mind. “Of course he won't be alright. He just banished his mate and removed her father from his position. How will he be alright,” grumbled Rick. “We should do something to appease him. There must be something we can do.”“The only thing we can do to appease him is bring her back but you know we can't do that.”The two sighed long and heavy again. Almost immediately Derrick strode in. The two men exchanged surprised looks. “Why are you both looking shocked?” Derrick asked them. “Why are you–

    “Alpha Dante! You are the finisher yourself!”“Great Alpha indeed!”Alpha Greg and Carlos hailed Alpha Dante. Carlos poured the drinks and gave it to both Alpha Dante and Greg. “To our victory!” He roared. Alpha Dante nodded, sparing a meek laugh as he cheered back and they clinked glasses. “You finished Blake once and for all. It is not an easy feat!” Alpha Greg praised enthusiastically as he sat down. “How did you think of using that young woman?”“Mm-mh. Laura,” Alpha Dante mumbled as his eyes narrowed. He had a tail on Derrick’s men. It was through them he found out Laura's location and acted immediately. He wondered what would have happened if he hadn't acted fast before Derrick got to her. Feeling huge of himself, he chuckled and sipped his drink. “Look at that arrogant smirk,” Greg teased and urged him again to share his secret with them. “Well, I didn't do anything much. As you all know, everything that happened is how it was supposed to happen. The young woman returne

    LIA’S POV “And do you want to know the biggest shock?” Laura charged up again. She looked at me, her lips cocking up. “Everything she had been telling you are all lies…this girl is no lycan. She is a fucking werewolf!”I crumbled. At this point, my legs became numb. How…how did she know of this…who could have told her….Carlos? No…it couldn't be… Even the day she kidnapped me, she never knew I was not Lycan…how then… “All these while I had been away, I was trying find out the truth and now that I found it, I had to come back and expose this lying bitch,” she sneered. The truth? My stomach sank. What else did she know about me? Derrick turned, his gaze darkening. “What did you just say?”“Derrick, I’m sorry I took time returning back to you but it was for a good reason. This bitch lied and deceived you!”“Is she speaking the truth?” Derrick questioned, his cold eyes gripping me. “Yes, tell him. Prove to everyone here that you are a lycan,” She demanded smirking.

    LIA’S POVIt was the sound of quick heavy boots lumbering against the floor that awoke me. The first few seconds were hazy. “Are you alright?” A blurry figure appeared by my side. My wolf kicked and my eyes immediately cleared. Derrick. I tried to speak but a sharp pain reared up in my side. “Don't move yet,” he ordered as his arm instantly located my back for support. “Do you remember me?” He asked, his gaze sweeping all over me. How could I not? I nodded suppressing a groan that came as I shook my head. “Do you remember anything? Who kidnapped you? Can you remember their faces?”True, I was kidnapped. I sighed. I shut my eyes as the memories floated in my head. The harsh voices echoed in my head. Recalling how a dagger almost slashed me into halves with me tied to a chair and I couldn't defend myself made the fear suddenly overwhelm me again. My body curled and Derrick must have noticed. “Don't force it. Take your time–”“Derrick!”Rick charged in abandoning his basic etiquett

    “Lia kidnapped? How…when…how…she–” Carlos mumbled, his eyes dancing in shock. Doubting his ears, he rushed to the notice board and had a look. Confirming that Emily and Jimmy had not lied left him limp as he imagined who could have kidnapped Lia right in Derrick's house. “Where are you coming from? You still haven't answered us? You were with Lia and yet you didn't know she was kidnapped,” Jimmy accused. “Who could have kidnapped her? Did you not see or hear anything? If she was in the almighty lycan king's house, how could she have been kidnapped! Don't they have the best security there!”“The exact thing I'm thinking…” Carlos muttered sadly. He just couldn't make sense of the whole thing. Why would anyone kidnap Lia…“I left the king’s house this morning…Lia was…” he paused, not sure to bring up Lia's miscarriage. In the process, sudden thought came over him. What if Lia had been kidnapped somewhere else and not Derrick's house…Anyone that kidnapped her knew she was weak at that

    “Dante! Come out here, you bastard!” Alpha Blake roared in front of Alpha Dante's house. The number of guards mounted in front of the gate was too much for him to go through–as if Dante had suspected of his coming and prepared. “You will regret this! You will regret this!”“Get out of my way or go in there and bring that bastard out!” He snarled at Dante's men. “Who is creating this unrest in my premises?” Alpha Dante came out in his balcony and barked. “Unrest in your premises?” Blake retorted charging past his grabbers. As the men rushed to seize him again, Alpha Dante signalled for them to stay back. “Alpha Blake, why have you come to my house to create problems by this time of the day?”“Where is my daughter?! Where is my daughter!”“What are you talking about?” Alpha Dante frowned. His face registered a surprise of a first time hearing s news. Alpha Blake clenched. “Don't give me that pretense look.

    “What's going on?” Emily whispered to Jimmy referring to the crowd gathered in front of the notice board. Jimmy did a small dance as he dusted off his gloves. They were done for the day and he couldn't be more glad. Working in a pub wasn't an easy one. They'd only found out. “Probably another soon to happen protest or something about the king or his Luna. Whatever. We already have so much in our hands to worry about others.”“Are we still going to the death records center?” Emily asked. They had decided to set aside time to search for Lia despite their unavoidable busy schedule. “Why are you so bent on checking there. Lia is not dead,” she added trying to not sound as harsh as she already did. “Because we will still look there. It's better we look now and forget about it. And I really hope she is not there. Come on, we have like two other places to check today.”“Would that even help? If she died here, no one would care nor notice. Would they even let us see their death record?”
