J’s POVI woke up to the chirping of the bed,I parted my eyes quietly with the ray of the sun running across my face making me realize that it was another beautiful morning. I grunted and stretched my arms and legs on the soft mattress ignoring the thick cologne that was running through the room, I had woken up in Lance's room. The mattress was soft and the air in the room was nice wanting me to have another five hours sleep. After everything that happened last night, I slept off instantly.I stretched my arms and legs out again expecting my feet to brush against cool flesh but they only brushed on the empty bedspread.I turned to the other side, I was expecting my gaze to land on the tall figure of Lance lying beside me but surprisingly the whole bed was spaciously empty and Lance was nowhere to be found.My brows snapped together slightly and I pushed myself up on the mattress.I sat upright and my eyes scanned across the empty room. I couldn’t find Lance, I began to wonder where
Lance POV.A silent and steady knock came on the door, making me wake up. I looked at J, she was still sleeping soundly. I didn't know if Justin was actually going to knock or he was just going to stand there deliberating whether to knock or not. I didn't know what was up, but I could sense that he was troubled. I slowly and quietly got up from the bed and made my way to the door before opening it. The moment he saw me, he sighed, did he know I would come open up whether he knocked or not?“Justin, what's up?” I asked, my brows furrowed in worry.He looked at me and then tried to look inside making me narrow my eyes at him, “What's wrong? If you didn't want her to hear, why didn't you just mind-link?” “I'm sorry but I didn't know if I would be disturbing you or not. There's something I want to tell you,” “Okay…” I closed the door behind me because he seemed like he wasn't going to speak until he knew that J was really asleep. “The information you asked me to keep and damage all
Author's POV.Maria J wasn't strong enough to free herself from Justin's hold, he dragged her until he got to Lance's room and made her sit down on the bed and she calmed down before he finally let her go. “What's going on, Justin?” She asked with teary eyes. She couldn't believe what she heard back in the throne room. She suspected when the guards had said she shouldn't go in but she never expected that they would be in there talking about burning her alive. “You need to calm down, J. I know you're scared and shocked but calm down. Lance will come and explain everything to you himself, be calm,” J shook her head negatively, her eyes rolling down tears. She couldn't believe that they were actually deliberating about killing her. Burning her alive! “My life is at stake now, and you expect me to calm down? If you were in my shoes, would you?” She asked Justin. “I need to get out of here. Anna and I need to go far away from here,” she pressed. Justin sighed as he didn't know what to
Lance POV.I rushed to my room, opened the door without knocking, and saw J was staring out the window. Immediately she heard the door open, she turned in shock. I felt pity when I saw the fear in her eyes. She felt it was someone here to hurt her. Immediately she saw me, she rushed to me and literally jumped on me. Just then, she burst into tears. My heart tightened in my chest. She was afraid, and I hated it. I hated to see her in pain, in tears whatsoever. “J…”"Am I going to die? Am I going to leave this world just like that? I didn't know about it, I didn't do anything? Am I going to die for their sins?” She asked as she sobbed.My jaw clenched along with my fist that had come to rest on her back. I hated this, I hated that she heard them, I hated that she saw them as a threat and my pack as somewhere no longer safe. “J…” “Lance, Lance, tell me they are no longer angry. Tell me they won't hurt me, they won't kill Anna and I?”"Nothing would happen to you, nobody would hurt y
J's POVI turned around on the bed after I'd just woken from my sleep. How had I fallen asleep just when I was talking to Lance a few moments ago?Stretching my tired arms with a small yawn, my eyes slowly fluttered open and that was when I noticed Lance was beside me.He must have watched me while I slept because he was sitting right beside me on the bed.Since when has he been there? I thought, looking at his face curled up in a wide smile while he brood over me."Lance!" I called softly as I rose up from my sleeping position. I adjusted on the bed and rested my back against the bed's headrest."It's good to see you're awake, babe." He said, still wearing a very bright smile on his face."What happened to me?" I asked him to be sure. My head spurned as I struggled to process everything because the last thing I remembered was me standing in front of him and then a total black out."How do you feel now?" Lance asked me. He stretched his arm forward and placed it on my forehead."Do yo
I left J alone in the bedroom to have some rest. She was going to need all the rest she could get now as she was carrying another life inside her, our pup.My face curled up in a smile the moment I remembered her reaction when she had just found out her new state as a mother, I felt elated myself.Leaving the bedroom, I made my way from the hallway toward the study as one of the servants had come to inform me earlier about Justin dropping by and I had to see him. He must have come with news. Trust Justin to always show his face in the pack house whenever he has a very important message to pass across.I knew that it was concerning the news about the secret of J's parents flying around the pack. This had happened and could cause issues later on, the greatest problem now waswe didn't know how it got out."Justin!" I called the moment I arrived my study. He was right in the room, seated on the chair opposite mine and I knew he had been waiting for me"Alpha!" He called, rising up to hi
J’s POVI lay on my bed rubbing my stomach with a soft smile on my face. I'm pregnant, it was a big news for a stripper, I can't believe it. The smile on my face didn't leave even for the past few days. I didn't care what the pack things, I am carrying Lance's pup. He calls my baby his pup, whatever that means. “Are you going to stay in the same position all day?” Tina frowned at me. I ignored her and smiled even more. Lance has been treating me with extra care, I don't know if it was the baby he was treating that way or me. He has been the sweetest lately.One would not even believe he is a mafia boss. Someone that kills without mercy. The last time was when he had almost killed Dean, that bastard. That day, I knew Lance would come. I knew he would come and save me. And he did. He showed up like the hero he is and has always been. My savourIt's one reason I know he isn't going to let my baby suffer, he would protect him or her, whatever gender the baby turns out to me. I am goin
J's POV"J please calm down." Lance begged gently puling me away from the gap between I and Wendy, I hissed and snatched my body away from his grip but he held me still, and pulled me away from her."Do you think this is funny Lance or do you think I'm joking about this, leave me alone to beat the madness out of this devil you call a best friend." I fumed, my eyes glance towards Wendy who is on the other side of the room, she has turned back to her true self and on the mention of beating her: her large eyes turned golden."This ain't something that needs too much stress and yells, j please calm down,it's not good for your health." Lance wrapped his arms around my waist soothing me."I don't give a fuck! Just leave me to beat her, my baby understands his mother needs to fight." I snapped already becoming irritated by his pleas.Why is he holding me down instead of supporting me in harming and inflicting injuries on this daughter of a bitch who caused me so many pains this past day's.
