“Are you sure? Like, one hundred per cent? No mistakes?”
Luther chuckles while clasping my shoulder.
“I’m positive, Lorcan. Though I’m not happy that Mum did what she did, no one is, to be honest. But Mum would do anything for us, and for you, she brought Victor in. It’s the truth, I promise you.”
I nod my head, thoughts rushing through my brain at high speed.
My mother took it upon herself to find Victor, incapacitate him, and kill his followers.
How the fuck did she manage that in the two days I took off to be with Gianna and Sienna?
I sent warriors to search for Victor, told them not to return until they found him. Once they had, they were to bring him to me, dead or alive. Of course, I would rather have him alive, but I knew
I cup Lorcan’s cheek, drawing his eyes from a burning Nancy and to me. He blinks, clearly shocked by what he just witnessed me do.The thing is, I don’t even feel slightly guilty for setting that bitch on fire. Sure, she was alive when I did it, but it was no more than she deserved.I meant what I said to the pack; no one will ever get away with hurting my mate again. It drove me crazy the past couple of days, thinking about that cunt and what she almost did to Lorcan. I couldn’t bear it one more second; that’s why I had this whole thing set up. I wanted to make an example of Nancy in front of the pack. I hadn’t a clue at first that Anja had taken it upon herself to draw Victor out.When Anja came to me an hour ago and told me that she’d found Victor, I was shocked. Of course, I asked Anja how in the hell she managed to do what
Eight Years Later“Hey, baby girl.” I smile while taking a seat next to my three-year-old daughter.Angelica, or Angel as we call her, is the seventh of my nine children. Lorcan and I are expecting our tenth in three weeks.After Sienna was born, we were blessed with twins, Dean and Damon, born ten months after Sienna. Then came Trystan, Aaron, and Allen, all born within three years of each other. Angelica, and lastly, our second set of twins, Corey and Caden, are now eighteen months of age.Baby Alessia will be with us real soon, and she is our last. When I said this to my mate, he laughed, but he finally realised that I was serious. Ten children in eight years are enough for anyone.Lorcan and I have the most children in the family. Lilly and Leande
“It’s Daddy and me. I wanted to give it Daddy for his wall like the others.”I smile while trying not to cry.Each one of our older children has at some point drawn a picture of themselves with Lorcan. For each drawing, Lorcan framed and hung it on the wall in his office. Angel wanted to do the same, and I have to wonder why she didn’t give it to him.“Why didn’t you give this to Daddy?”“Dean said Daddy don’t want drawing from stupid Omega like me. I just want my picture on the wall.” She sniffs back her emotions. “Why Daddy don’t love me?”Holy fuck, I can’t breathe!“Oh, baby girl, your daddy loves you so much.” My heart shatters.I lift my
“You know why you’re all here, don’t you?”“Yes, Daddy.” Eight out of nine of my children answer.“Why are you here?”Sienna is the one to reply. As always, the rest have appointed their older sister spokesperson.“Because Angel went crying to Mummy.”“I beg your pardon?!” I yell loud enough for all eight to whimper. “How dare you, Sienna?”“I’m sorry, Daddy.” She sighs.“Angel did not go crying to anyone. Your mother figured out what was wrong! I must say that I am very disappointed in all of you.”Each child hangs their head in shame.“Angel is three years
There is no better feeling than running through the woods with the wind in my fur. I’m proud to be a Zidiahan wolf; I’m proud to be Gianna Astoni.I come from a well-off family, my father is a senior guard in the King’s Army, and my mother is a pack doctor. Mum isn’t stationed in one place, however, though she works closely with Toby. Toby is the personal doctor of the Royal family.Mum travels to nearby packs when called up, which she is a lot of the time. My mother is a fantastic doctor, and everyone loves her.My sister, Isabella, or Bella as she’s known, is my best friend. It sounds weird to some that my twenty-five-year-old sister is my best friend, but it’s the truth.Bella was born three years before me and loved me from the moment I was born. Bella never went anywhere without me, and never
“Shower’s over there,” I point to the back of my bedroom. “Wash the dirt off your body. There’ll be clothes on the bed by the time you’re done. Towels are on the rack in the bathroom, and everything else you need you’ll find in there.”The girl, Gianna, my mate, watches me with sad eyes. I’ve torn her away from her home and family, and I give not one shit about it.This girl won’t find a fairytale with me as a mate. I am a monster, precisely what people say I am, and nothing will ever change that.Having said that, Gianna is now mine, and I won’t let her go. Not that I want her anywhere near me, but the stupid mate-bond has other ideas.It irks the shit out of me that I’ll be stuck with this woman. I never wanted a mate, and I think Selene is a fucking sick bitc
This Emily girl does not like me at all.As soon as I’d finished showering, which took me ten minutes, I put on the bra and sexy panties of red that I found on the bed. Then I slipped the black thigh-length dress on and searched for a hairbrush.Emily burst into the room without knocking, and I was only thankful that I’d already gotten dressed, in clothes my size, no less.How the hell could anyone know my size?Emily is a beautiful woman. Long blonde hair, big green eyes, slim, and skin that would make a porcelain doll jealous.She looked me up and down with disdain. I’m not an easily intimidated person, so I raised my eyebrow and folded my arms around my chest.The large, medieval-looking bedroom, larger than the top floor of my home, should have tak
“Just let me leave, and you’ll never have to see me again.”Emily eyes me for a moment before shrugging. “Fine, go.”I breathe deeply through my nose.“But you won’t get far before Lorcan finds you. He doesn’t take well to losing.”“He’s not losing anything. He wanted to reject me, and I’m not stupid enough to believe that he’ll let me reject him first.”“Rejecting him could kill you. Probably not him, but you never know.”Emily is right, but I don’t care about Lorcan Dalgaard. I don’t know what I’ll do when I get out of here, but rejecting the man may not be possible.I’ll have to speak to the King and ask him if there&
