Erica:"Ma'am? Ma'am? Are you awake? Can you hear me?"My eyes fluttered open and I looked around me. The bright light bleached my irises and I squinted as I tried to adjust to the light."Ma'am? Ma'am?"I stood up in alarm but thousands of hands grabbed me and urged me to lay back down. My eyes looked around in shock.I could see a sea of blue with face masks and blue tunics"You have to take it easy, Ma'am. You are in the hospital. You were shot in the leg and have glass injuries on your legs and feet. How do you feel?"It was only then that the events of the past few hours came rolling back into my head. I gasped, my heart nearly jumped out of my chest and I heard the ECG give an abnormal beep.The assassin. I was shot. I was more than certain that the bullets were meant for me. Someone wanted dead."The emergency team found this on the site of the crash."They handed me my bag and I nodded that it belonged to me."Alright. We need to call someone to let them know that...""No!"Th
Erica:The next day came so fast. I could barely get a wink of sleep. I was paranoid and full of fear that the assassin might track me and kill me in my sleep. I had no doubt that it was Hazan who tried to kill me, or at least, he had sent one of his men to finish me off.Dr. Blake had come in every hour or so to check on me and even took a night shift to watch me.I was more than grateful. I needed a friendly face around. A friend l face that didn't belong to Lorenzo or Dante or Javier.Javier!I hadn't even given the explosive revelation of Clarissa being his mate much thought. The shock from Lorenzo's proposal still clung to me. I hadn't been able to think about much–except Dante–ever since.I felt my anger for him rekindle.Deep down I could feel seething hatred for him. I wanted to rip out his heart.How could he lie to me like that?Wait. Did he lie to me?I searched my memory for something, anything that he might have said about a mate but I couldn't find anything.It was all f
Erica:I still didn't sleep as so I got home or at night either. The pain in my leg was ebbing away but my heart and mind were still very troubled.The kids were also swarming me and looking at me with worried stares. Elma had her arm around my neck and they all insisted that they slept with me in bed that night.It was a tight squeeze but I was happy to have them around me.The next morning, Lorenzo came in to check on me. His hair was mussed and his brown eyes had a piercing depth to them.I looked at his hand and there was a tray of steaming hot bacon and eggs that were slightly burnt at the edges.I smiled. It was the thought that counted, wasn't it?"I'm sorry that breakfast wasn't perfect. I left them on the stove to answer a business call."He gave me a sweet smile and placed it on my lap. The kids were still clinging tightly to me and I saw Elma give Lorenzo a poisonous stare.I was taken aback. What was wrong with her?Lorenzo caught her eye and he cleared his throat loudly a
Erica: “You? Show up as my Luna? No way, I don’t want people identifying me as the Lycan King who got married and still has nothing to show.” Dante’s words pierced my heart so hard that they made tears build up in the corner of my eyes immediately. I held the shirt I was folding tightly. I fixed my eyes on Dante, my husband. He was seated on his work table in his room and he had a file in his hand.Dante is a very tall man and his looks were to die for, he looked like those huge tall basketballers, only he was bigger and a slap from him would probably kill me. I was the exact opposite of him, I was very tiny, and could barely stand for myself. While I was a useless Luna who couldn’t bear a child, Dante was a strong Lycan king, who wanted a child badly. “Dante.” I tried to speak but he shut me up immediately. He probably knew what I wanted to say, I wanted to tell him that his words had hurt me but he was tired of me saying that to him. “If you are tired of me telling you this,
DanteI hadn’t expected to see my room door fling open, the worst was when Erica stood in front of the door with her expression giving nothing else but shock. Her jaw dropped and her eyes were wide open.“Dante, you disgust me.” With just these words, she stormed out of the doorway.I wasn’t bothered about what she had seen and I didn’t want to give explains to someone that wasn’t worth it.Erica wasn't worth the waste of time and she knew that for a fact. I had only gotten married to her because I wanted my mate to give me children but here she was barren.Laura isn't my cousin, I wasn't a mad person to sleep with my cousin and Laura is the woman that I want. The woman who is stronger than the weakling I am married to and I would do anything for Laura.Laura didn't want Erica to attend the party because Erica always stole the show. After all, she is my Luna and a very pretty Luna at that and the only way to make her stay behind was punishing her for stealing the necklace. Erica didn
Erica:No, I had heard wrong, he did not just say he wanted a divorce.“Dante, you didn’t just say that. You’re not leaving me for Laura .” My thinking was disorganized like I was. I was trembling, he had hurt me a lot but this was too much. “I’m serious, Erica. I want you to leave my pack, I want you to leave me. Our marriage is over.” As he said this I held my chest tight, his words hit me hard like an arrow had pierced me straight at my heart and it was painful.“Dante..” hot tears streamed down my eyes.“There’s no need for you to be here, Erica. I had gotten married to you because I wanted a child from my mate, but you haven’t even given me a child, not even a miscarriage. You know you are not the type of woman I want. You are a pathetic worthless wolf, Erica. Leave. Sign the papers and leave.” He picked up the file he had left back on my Vanity table and handed it to me.“So you mean you are leaving your mate for someone you’ve been sleeping around with? Please, Dante, we can f
Erica:I wanted someone to pull me out of this hell. I wasn’t ready to lose myself, I wasn’t ready to die, not yet.My eyes flickered open, and white shining light penetrated my eyes, I was on a soft bed and my body didn’t hurt anymore. I looked around the room, the sun shining from outside the room penetrated the room. I was In the hospital room. I was saved? My head banged a little as I lay on the bed trying to understand how I had gotten here, the door of the room was pushed open and a man in a white coat walked in, it was the doctor.“Hello, I’m glad you're awake now.” As he said this he went ahead to touch me on my head, used his light on my eyes, and did some other tests.“How do you feel?” He asked and I tried to give a smile but I quivered and I broke down.“I don’t feel so hurt like I did before.” As I said this, I had flashbacks of events that had happened, the pain I felt in my chest, the one in my tummy, the one in my vagina. The baby I felt I was losing.“I’m glad to he
Erica:Six Years Later“Will you marry me, Erica?” Lorenzo was on his knees, stretching his hands, he showed me the little box that had the most beautiful ring in it.“I want to make you the happiest woman, Erica, give me the chance to make you mine.” “Will you marry me?” Why was I giving this a thought? I had agreed to get married to him, and I had told my parents I would get married to Alpha Lorenzo for the sake of my children so why was I finding it hard to say yes? I swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat and I nodded. It was just the both of us in the open field.“Yes Lorenzo, I will marry you.”’I smiled, I am happy that I am doing this for my children.“Thank you.” Lorenzo grinned from ear to ear, he put the ring on my finger then stood from his knelt position, and cupped my face gently.“Thank you for making me the happiest Alpha alive.” He kissed me on the lips and I kissed him back.“I’ll scream to the world and tell them that Erica is mine.” I laughed. It was all f
