Alpha lugard's PovI wake abruptly from sleep, the sheets attached to my body like a second skin. I am drenched in sweat, from the same nightmare. Lyanna isn't here, and again, It happens I can't sleep.I check the alarm and it's quarter past 2 am. I scoot out of bed to wash my face and then exercise. I return to find my phone vibrating, getting it, I find a text from Lyanna. "Hey you, are you asleep?" "I just woke up, I am having nightmares. "I also had this terrifying nightmare and I am here thinking about you, wanting to be kissed again." She replies with two love emojis. "Do you want me to come over?" I tap send, and a few seconds later, she replies, changing the subject. "What did you talk about with my Mom?" "It's not important, tell me what your nightmare was about, what's disturbing your beautiful sleep?" "Why don't you talk to me about your tattoo first, Drake and we will talk about me." "If you say so, Lyan
Chapter 30Alpha Lord Lugard'sI part my lips to say Mom but I do not, will that be necessary? I shake hands with her and we take our seats together. "You look so gorgeous, so different from how you were earlier yesterday," Alicia comments, leaving a trace of a smile across her lips. "I looked into the mirror and thought I was a different person. What can I say and how can I thank this gentleman for his kindness?" She says and looks at me, genuineness in her coffee-brown eyes. "You didn't deserve such treatment, I only did what a sane person would do, ma'am, do not thank me," I say and she nods briefly. "Well, I did my introduction at the hospital, eh, let me introduce this beautiful lady beside me to you." "I suppose she's your wife or girlfriend—" The woman cut in, making me smirk. "She isn't ma'am, she's my secretary and sometimes my sister." "Sometimes your sister? What does that mean, Son?" She calls again and I feel lik
Lyanna's PovI hurriedly run out of the living room as I hear a knock. What took him so long though? "Mom! Take care." I say loudly and then open the door. My smile fades, all the excitement I felt drifting away like a stream. "Good morning, Ma'am, Drake Shelton asked me to come to fetch you." I nod. "Anyway, what's wrong with him? Won't he come to school?" "He will but he's taking care of something important, right? And it won't take long so he will come. Please can we get going!" "Yeah, sure we can." We sit and he drives off to school. The call pulls over at the car park, immediately I get down, I see Drake walking to take the elevator. I take my bag, "thank you," I wave at his driver and run following Drake. The elevator door is just about to close and I block it with my hand. He stares down at me when I get in panting for breath. This man walks so damn fast! He does not stop watching me, there is no humor on his face either. We both
Alpha lugard's PovThis feeling isn't right, it's not supposed to be like that. Why am I feeling sympathetic towards her? Because of her, I experienced the worst torture. And I should be happy she's going through this but I can't. Why can't I?Sitting here beside her and watching her sleep peacefully is so calm. I can watch her all day long without getting tired. I am so sorry, Bambini. So sorry, I am the cause of this but what can I do?How long will this drug take to stop taking effect, it's getting to an hour. I sigh and continue watching her until I see her shift and moan. She bats her lashes, closes them, and finally opens her eyes. "Drake…" she calls softly but says nothing. I put my hand in her hair and played with it. "How are you feeling, Lyanna? I am sorry I brought you here, I didn't know this would cause you to imagine you are seeing an animal who wants to eat you." "Where am I?" She says, scanning the dim cave which contains nothing but
Alpha Lugard's PovShe pulls back, stops stroking me then smiles like an innocent child who does not know what it means to be immoral. "I thought you were supposed to teach me self-control, Drake. It seems here I am the one teaching you." "This is inappropriate, Lyanna. Why have you stopped what you have started? I don't play these kinds of games." I narrow my brows, and dive into the water, averting my anger to it. "Are you not teaching me to swim anymore? This is not fair, Drake." "You don't play fair either, Miss Lyanna. Teach yourself to swim, I have no interest whatsoever." "Who will be held responsible if I drown? You brought me here, remember?" "Now you are threatening me, Lyanna. And I think the devil wears Mary Kay, you are dragging me to hell and I don't seem to have control. I will teach you only on one condition, you are not seducing me again." "I give you my word, Drake, no seduction." She replies
Lyanna's Pov "What's with you, don't you have your phone to let us know you won't be coming home early? Your Dad came to the school and didn't find you, where did you go?" My Mom says loudly, a line appears in between her brows, making its way up her head to show her anger. "Mom, I am sorry, I didn't know we would take long and when I got there, the signal was weak, that's why I didn't call. Please can we talk about this tomorrow?" "We are not, sit on the sofa and wait for me, we are getting to the bottom of this and you are going to promise me not to do that ever again." She says and starts walking to the kitchen. "Mom, I don't want to talk." "No, you will, I insist. Sit down and wait for me, young lady." She shouts from the kitchen and I am compelled to sit. Does anyone care about me at all? "Dad?" I see him coming to the living room and I run to hug him. He's always so understanding and loving, unlike my mom who can someti
Alpha Lugard's PovWe gather at the table as the family we have now become. For my part of the deal, I am to buy them a new house here, well, for at least three weeks until I finish whatever it is I need to finish.Speaking of which, I know Lyanna might be making stupid decisions. Who knows what she's doing with Roger at the moment? And he's also so happy because he thinks Lyanna is being sincere with him. Meanwhile, she can't love anyone but me, just me. "So do I get to call you brother?" Lucy asks and the food chokes me. Calling me brother when Alicia already told Lyanna we are only two? "You could call me something else, like, darling." Will it be a great idea to send her to school? I mean, since Lyanna is already mad at me, we can make her go wild. "Bella, please could you come around for a few seconds?" She walks hurriedly and stands beside me with her gaze fixed on the ground. "I have to attend class and Alicia has to be at the office. Sam
Chapter 36Lyanna's Pov "Do not make me hate, do not get in my way, Drake. I know you have heard me." I shout back then follow him into the class. I reach the entrance and then suddenly stop in my tracks, are we expecting Mr. Adams to be in class today? Definitely not, what's he doing here? I sigh and then breathe in a lot of courage to walk inside. He's starting to be a nuisance, I am so certain he will call me.I may be wrong, I walk to sit down but he doesn't call me. What happened? Oh, probably Drake has saved my ass by telling them everything that happened yesterday. Ouch! "Lyanna." Mr. Adams calls and I sit up, giving him all of my attention. "Since you were not in class yesterday, and did not bother to be here at noon for the next class, you might be lagging. Fortunately for you, you move with a genius. I just realized Drake understands the theory so ask him to teach you. I didn't say the two of you should end up kissing." He stops for the class to gig
