LIA BLAKE

"Would you like to choose your servants by yourself?" Ma'am Lucy asked me as she led me into the senior servants quarters.

"Urhm," I mumbled, not sure if I wanted to do that.

"Those girls, punish them now." My wolf urged me.

My wolf can be really fierce. Sometimes I wondered how she coped with a softie like me.

But then I figured I would be doing myself more good by not letting them anywhere near me. Who knew how darkened their mind would be now about me after what the Lycan King acted minutes ago.

Fortunately ma'am Lucy didn't say another word about it again and quietly led me into a living room that was quite large in a way.

The junior servants quarters didn't have a living room.

"Sit down and wait while I get the first aid box," she told me before she sauntered into the next room.

I had never entered the senior servants quarters. It looked more refined than the ordinary servants quarters although the blocks weren't much apart from each other. There were two long

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    THE SUBSTITUTE BRIDE'S WEDDING DAY

    WRITER'S POV WEDDING DAY“Get the earrings! Get the… don't let it ruin her dress. Be careful with the makeup. Don't apply a lot of powder… use a fuller brush… be easy while you do that…”Ma'am Lucy’s orders echoed in the room. Derrick had specifically appointed her to cater for Lia for the wedding. She wanted it to be perfect. Servants trotted in and out carrying whatever she had requested. Lia sat on a chair before a mirror. The makeup woman worked on her face. Another one stood behind her offering the makeup lady the tools she needed. Yet another was lowered beside Lia prepping her dress. Sounds of footsteps went in and out of the room. Lia couldn't place any of it. The nervousness sliced through her stomach. She desperately craved to eat her nails. Just couldn't. It had been painted so beautifully she couldn't dare ruin such beauty and hard work. Asides that, ma'am Lucy would turn pale. Her stomach grumbled. Ma'am Lucy heard and hurried around. Worried eyes stared down at Lia

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride     BOLD AND DARING

    WRITER'S POVMa'am Lucy was outside the door and in wait. As soon as Derrick walked out the wedding hall with Lia, she knew to come take her. “I'm sorry, my king. We should have prepared her more and made sure she was feeling alright,” she apologized. “It's fine. Just let her get some rest,” Derrick shrugged dismissively. He let go of Lia, ready to get back inside. But Lia grabbed his arm. “You promised to take me. And…besides the people wouldn't be expecting you to return quickly.” Lia fluttered her lashes coyly and wore an adorable smile Derrick narrowed his eyes down at her. His substitute Luna…no, his bait was getting bolder by the second. Right away he was supposed to reprimand her. But why did he think she was cute instead? Ma'am Lucy froze with shock at Lia's behavior before the king. She fell to her knees. “Forgive me, my king. We haven't taught her well. Since there was not much time to prepare her as Luna.”Derrick raised a hand. His lips curled slightly at the corn

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    POWER OF A LUNA

    WRITER'S POVAlpha Blake was restless. Ever since the moment the lycan king stepped out with Lia, he had had no moment of peace within him. Several thoughts ran through his mind as his eyes darted all over the hall. Unable to sit back in silence, he snuck out of the wedding hall. What was he going to tell the lycan king if he discovered Lia was his daughter. “Oh Lia…” he groaned. Thankfully a lot of the lycan king's guards were gathered at the wedding venue. He manoeuvred his way through the pathway that he hoped would lead him to Lia. At a thought, he halted abruptly. The thought of Lia losing her memory occurred to him. A frown creased his face. He clearly recalled when she was being led out how she looked at him. As if she wanted to tell him something. He continued to walk. He had to see her. Even if she had lost her memory, he must find out. “NO PASSAGE TO OUTSIDERS”A sign read as he was about to get past a building. He looked ahead. Saw some female servants with trays an

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    THE SPLIT

    “What could he be thinking? What could be going on in the head of that tyrant?” Alpha Dante groaned. He stared ahead distantly and his legs tapped impatiently. Alpha Gerald snorted. “He is trying to get us in his trap. Did you see his eyes as he took his new little bitch around? He is trying to use the bitch to get to us. By the way, did any of you send the bitch?”It had been twenty minutes since the Alphas Alpha gathered. Alpha Blake had not said a word. He was standing behind the window frame, looking out. All he thought of was how to get Lia out of the nest of the lycan king. Lia had assured him she had things under control but he would be a fool to relax at those words. Lia knew almost nothing about the Lycan King’s monstrous side nor his quest to unveil the secret of the death of his mate and newborn pup. One thing was certain. As long as Lia remained in Harrow Wood Pack, under the eyes of the lycan king, she was far from being safe. “Alpha Blake. Do you have nothing to sa

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    HIDDEN CLAWS

    “My Alpha, Beta Tom has arrived,” one of the servants in Alpha Blake's house announced. “Alright send him into the reception room.”Alpha Blake starred a bit longer at the old picture. Sighing, he carefully laid it back in the old wooden box and pushed it back under his bed. Then he made it to the reception room.When Beta Tom saw him walk in, he stood up. “My Alpha, is everything alright? When I got your urgent message I was deeply worried and had to come at once.”Alpha Blake nodded with a small smile. Having Tom Carlos as his Beta lessened his worries. Asides the fact that he was deeply respectful, he was always there whenever he was called upon. sometimes Alpha Blake thought he was being too respectful especially as they were friends. “Yes. Thank you for coming.” He motioned him to sit. Alpha Blake let out a heave as he settled into the sofa. Beta Tom squinted at him. “You look troubled my Alpha. What is it bothering you?”Alpha Blake sighed again. “It's nothing. Tell me,

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    MRS KINGS

    LIA'S POV “This personal assistant of a thing…I know I have already asked before but do I really need to–” “Yes, you really need to pick one,” Ma'am Lucy said without even letting me finish. “I have compiled a list for you and the ladies will be arriving for selection at a scheduled date.” She was leading me to go say my greetings to Derrick’s parents. As usual her strides are so fast I was struggling to keep up. Surprising how little I had heard of Derrick's father but so much about his mother. I hadn't even seen his face ever since I entered the Pack and no one ever spoke of him. It was as if there was an unwritten rule to never bring him up. “The king will pick you up from here. Don't move an inch.” “What…weren't we supposed to go together…” Ma'am Lucy was already trotting away while I was still complaining. I groaned in frustration dreading another long weary minutes in the same space with my cruel captor. Seconds later and he showed up. He stopped and scanned

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    PITY FOR THE BAIT

    WRITER'S POV Derrick stood to his feet and walked to the window for the umpteenth time that morning. He stared out briefly down at the building next to his office and it was still as quiet and uneventful as the first time he had checked. Beta Damian strutted inside. “Are you worried? Why don't you go down and see for yourself if you are so worried,” he spoke, startling Derrick who immediately slung his hand into his pocket and shifted from the window. “Worried? Why would I be?” Derrick scoffed, resuming his poison on his seat. He steepled his fingers on the desk and tapped. It wasn't that he was worried. It was just that going over his words again made him realize how harsh he must have sounded. He had tried to convince himself that it wasn't really that bad. And fact remained, he had said worse words than those to others and didn't bulge about it. Why was he suddenly worried about his words hurting a woman who was nothing more than his bait. Damian chuckled. Of course he wa

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    PROTEST

    WRITER'S POV “Alpha Dante?” Alpha Gregory held the door, surprised. “What brings you to my abode?” “We are not supposed to meet today…” he added and looked past him expecting to see someone else. “We can no longer meet at our usual place. Derrick’s eyes are everywhere,” Alpha Dante uttered hastily as he let himself in. “Did something happen?” Alpha Gregory questioned signaling to one of his servants to bring them a drink. “You should be grateful to me,” Dante said and plopped down in the nearby seat. “We have been followed. Our meeting spot is no longer safe.” “I knew it. We would have been foolish to not expect it. I just didn't expect he would be moving this fast. But…how did you find out?” Alpha Dante looked up, a smirk playing at his lips. Derrick had always discovered any spy he placed in his house. What usually saved him was the oat he always made the men take. They always swear to rather bite their tongue to death than to ever reveal his name. Of course he always

    “What?” Derrick blurted and sprung up. Laura chuckled, peering at him. “Why are you acting so shocked? We are having our wedding. Finally!” She squealed. “Says who?” He said with clenched teeth. “Your parents approve and we were originally supposed to get married if not that bitch.”He marched to his desk chair. “We can't get married. It's not possible.”“Why? Is there something going on I don't know…wait…no way…” she gasped then heaved a s frustrated sigh. The two held eyes. To Laura, Derrick's reaction only further solidified all she saw in pictures. But now she'd seen enough and wanted him for herself now. She didn't want him clinging onto Lia anymore. She wanted him to focus on her now and express all the love that had been unlocked in him. Derrick looked away. He busied himself with a bunch of documents before him. “I am still married to Lia. I can't get married as I please.”“Why did you not confirm all she told you? You were the one that got played by her. You should hav

  • 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    BACK TO HER PLACE

    WRITER'S POVAfter 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    DEPRESSED

    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

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    SECRET OUT

    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. Why was she feel

  • The Lycan King and his Substitute Bride    UNBELIEVABLE

    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. I know you kidnapped my daughter. Bring out my daughter now!”“I have no ide
