LUCYI didn't know why I ran away from him, I wanted it to continue but it felt like I was betraying my father and breaking the promise of having my revenge on Chris' family. As much as I hated to admit it, I was beginning to develop strong feelings for him, feelings I never expected myself to feel especially for someone like him, someone I've always hated so much.My eyes were teary as I buried my head in my bed sobbing and wishing that it would all be a dream."It's unusual to see you here by this time, are you alright, darling?" my mother asked as she sat on my bed. I quickly wiped the tears off my face but she was quick to notice."Why are you crying? Did anything happen to you?" she asked again, concern written all over her face."I'm not crying, mother. Something flew into my eyes, that's all," I lied. I readjusted myself so she wouldn't see how much I'd cried."Do I look like a child to you, Lucy? You can always talk to me, I'm your mother and I'll do anything to see a smile o

LUCYDays passed by and I still hadn’t thought of what to do. Maverick hovered around, repeating the exact words he had said before about history repeating itself. No matter how I tried to make him spill the truth, he wouldn’t succumb. All he kept saying was time would reveal itself. When was time going to reveal itself? When Chris dies or what?There was no way I would stand and watch anyone hurt my mate, not even Cade. I chose to see him in his pack, though it was risky. I had done it before so I could do it again.That evening, I sneaked out of the pack to avoid the prying eyes of Cade and his men, whom I knew had been keeping close tabs on everything I’d been doing. Another person I tried to avoid was Maverick, who continuously gave me the creeps anytime we met. He was gradually becoming a psychopath, and everyone could attest to it. As I journeyed to the pack, I noticed some unusual movement around me. The crunchy sounds from the leaves gave it away. I knew immediately that I wa

LUCY "You traitor!" Those words jolted me back to life.I felt a sharp pain on my side as I lifted myself from the bed, the environment was unfamiliar to me. The last thing I remembered was passing out in the woods after I was injured by Cade's men."Shit!!” I exclaimed. Cade's men must've reported the situation to him and my mother was probably in trouble right now. "Where was I?" I asked myself as I looked around. A familiar figure was asleep close to me, it was a shirtless masculine figure whose head was buried on the bed. I tried to get out of bed without waking him up but I failed. He woke up at the slightest sound and held me down before I got off the bed."Stay, you're still hurt," he said. It was Chris and I was in his chambers. "What am I doing here? How did I get here?" I asked."I brought you here, you were injured and needed to be taken care of," he explained."Thank you," I said, my gaze fixed on his bare chest. I swallowed hard as I fought the urge growing inside m

CHRIS All I could think of all week was Lucy and how she was fairing with the injury. Glen my beta had offered to keep an eye out for the rogue's pack to ensure her safety. Each day he returned with no positive results, and she wasn't seen leaving the pack. I found it unusual because Lucy wasn't the type to be confined to a particular place, she loved the woods and spent most of her time there. What if she had been imprisoned for going against her leader? I had thought.Most of the time, I accompanied my beta to see things for myself. Well, luck shone on me this time when I saw her sneak out of that gate that night. I heaved a sigh of relief. Alas, she was alright after all. I could see the surprise written all over her when she saw me on the cliff accompanied by my guards. "What are you doing here?" she asked. "To see you of course. I wanted to be sure that you were safe in there, it's good to see that you're fine," I said."I'm fine as you can see," she muttered."I can see th

CHRISMy decision had caused a stir in the hearts of the other council members but that wouldn't make me change my mind. Kazmir had bitten more than he could chew this time, he had it coming. "Son, I need you to reverse your decision else there will be a problem within the council," my mother pleaded. I turned deaf ears to her as well. I was the Alpha and I had the right to appoint anyone I wanted to carry out any task, whether an elder or not. Lothar, too, tried to talk me out of it but I paid no attention to him. What was wrong with appointing an elder to oversee the preparation of the summit? They all made it look like it was a big deal for him to carry out the task. I knew my action would create more enemies for me but I cared less. They could plan whatever they wanted in making sure I was dethroned, but it would amount to nothing. Not having a mate was the only thing they could use against me and I had one, it was only a matter of time before I cleared a name and reinstall he
