Lucian’s POV “No, it won’t work that way…” my Beta disagreed. We were both in my office, speaking on matter concerning the pack’s development and we were having an argument about it. “What makes you say so? If we take in more members into the pack, we will be able to increase our man power and strength in the pack too.” I argued but my beta didn’t seem to agree with me. He was like the one who manages the pack’s financial and official matter while I just assisted him in giving orders. This time around, I needed his opinion, as he knew more about these things than I do. “Yes…” he mentioned. “You’re right about that, but have you thought of how you’re gonna sustain those new man power you’re gonna be bringing in?” His question put me in depth thought. Just as I was pondering an it, he continued with his argument. “As at now, prices of stock have…” he kept on rambling about business matters that gave me a huge headache. Today has been especially stressful for me, and I’ve
Kristen POVAmongst other packs I had heard of, the DARKMOON pack had to be the only one that struck my heart with so much fear that I shivered whenever I heard its name. Not only because of how much power the pack possessed, but the Alpha himself. The same alpha that was rumored to have killed his parent after years of being treated like a slave by them.He was a ruthless, cruel man who didn’t have a heart and even if he did, it would be made of stone. Alpha Lucian, was an Alpha who sent people trembling just by the mention of his name…..And that was the same man I was going to be sold to. My stepfather had heard all these rumors about him, but he still expected me to become a baby machine to such a monster just because of money and more power.Tears flooded down my cheeks as I stared at the contract papers in my hands. The papers had the potential of snatching away my freedom for a year.I was not appalled because I was going to be a baby machine for a ruthless Alpha. I was more
I was forced to look at my own body to see what he meant. I did not have such a bad appearance, but one statement from his lips and I began to question my body.I suddenly began to think there was something wrong with my long black straight hair and my green-doe eyes.Or, was it my body? Were my breasts not big and perky enough for him or was I not curvy enough for him?“Maybe I should have requested a full body picture before signing the contract with your desperate father. Your hips are too damn straight. Are you even capable of having a child?”he shook his head. “The maids will show you to your room. Get ready for me tonight. The sooner we get this done with, the less I get to see your face” he paused, taking one final good look at me. “Your body disgusts me”My heart had never been so shattered before. I couldn't understand if he knew I was his mate or if he just simply didn't care. But why wouldn't he want a mate? Everyone wanted a mate. That everyone included me.I yea
I woke up the next morning with my body on fire. I was sore the night before, but it seemed like it doubled the next morning. I took my shower and it helped to soothe me.I wasn't given any breathing space. The sex happened every night. The second time wasn't as painful as the first. The third time, I wasn't sure how I felt, but I wouldn't say I liked it. The fourth time was much better and it kept getting better as the days went by.It got to a point where I yearned deeply for the night to come due to how much I craved his body. On the seventh night, he kissed me. That kiss sent fire into my body, igniting every cell on my skin. He made me feel so different. I prayed inwardly that it was the same case with him.The sex reoccurred for 2 weeks as he had said and that was it. I never got to see him again. On the third week, I got a pregnancy test which stated I was 2 weeks.I was more than joyed and of course very eager to tell him. I wanted to see the cold look on his face melt for a
Lucian's POVI am Lucian Ellis, the Alpha head of the Darkmoon pack, one of the most dreaded packs in the south. I took that as a prestige as it helped keep intruders and imposters away from my territory.The same territory I acquired by killing my parents. After years of being neglected, tortured, and abused by my father, my wolf thought to do the needful. He wiped the two of them away, but he regretted it since he took my mother who was completely innocent.Seth, my wolf was a strong fierce wolf that even I found it difficult to control sometimes. I could say he was a wolf with anger issues, always ready to rip fleshes apart and make a meal of the blood of everyone who dared challenge us.Once he had been calmed and that was when I was with Yvonne, my first mate. She had been my redemption, saving me from the darkness I had become so immersed in.I loved her more than life itself. She was taken from me by the strong arms of death. A rival Alpha killed her to get to me. I succeeded i
One year later. Kristen's POVA promise was something that was meant to be kept, especially when it is kept to one's self.I had promised myself never to go back to the Darkmoon pack after what I had encountered there. I had vowed to be on my own and fend for myself and my child. There was no use staying in a place where I was going to be treated like garbage.I had stepped on the Alpha's tail by running away with his child, breaching the contract. There was no doubt he would be after me. I knew no matter how fast and sharp his wolf senses were as an Alpha, he wouldn't be able to find me if the distance was much.For the past 3 months after leaving the Darkmoon pack in California, I had been traveling around, until I finally had the resources to get me to Australia. Far away from him. I was pretty sure he wasn't going to find me even if he consulted a witch.I had my son in Australia. I had stayed in a motel for weeks until I was fit enough to rent a house which I shared with Brianna
Kristen’s POV“Game over Kristen”My mouth went parched after he said those words. I could hear my own heartbeat while my wolf cheered like a high school girl. Could she not fantasize over this? Did she not realize we were both screwed if he caught up with us?I turned to Ben, who seemed alert, but he was still driving like a human_ very fucking slow! If I continued to let him drive, Lucian was going to catch up with me and that would be the end, All my efforts to run away from him for a year would be for nothing.“Let’s switch places!” I yelled out, trying to get my voice over the loudness of the windHe turned to look at me as if I had lost my mind. “Huh?” He probably felt it was ridiculous switching places with a woman who he concluded didn’t know how to drive better than he did.“You heard me, now let’s switch. We need to get rid of him!” I yelled further at him in desperation. Our car was hit again, this time more forcefully that Ben hit his head hard on the steering wheels due to
Let me go!” I yelled as I struggled with the guards who held me by my two arms. Everybody that had been present had already gone and the streets had become empty, so I did not have anyone to help me or call 911.Yes, I would definitely call 911 on Lucian if I had the chance to. I would do anything to get rid of him.They led me to a corner and threw me to the floor before the devil himself. I looked up at Lucian as I glared hard. I wanted to desperately slap the smirk off his face.“Don’t act mad, I had to get you one way or the other” He muttered in satisfactionI glared even harder. “Damn you Lucian!” I shot venomously at the him, but that did not take away the amused look he had on his face.He bent to where I was crouched as he cupped my chin. “We were having a conversation and I didn’t like the outcome of it. I will ask you just one time and don’t you dare lie to me. Where the hell is my son Kristen?” he asked coldly. His voice did a good job of informing that he wasn’t there to p
