The Alpha’s Forbidden Love

LUCY

Few days had passed since Lothar was killed. Normalcy returned in the pack and everything seemed to be going peacefully.

With Lothar’s tyranny finally vanquished, the pack could begin to heal from the wounds of betrayal and deceit.

My mother had returned to the pack after much persuasion from I and Chris. Though she preferred to be away from the pack considering how they had treated her and my father in the past. Her eyes filled up with tears as she recalled the past events.

“You did it, Lucy. You brought us back home,” my mother said, her tears flowing freely down her cheek.

“No, mother. We did. Without you, I wouldn’t have had the courage to fight back,” I said, my voice shaky as I fought the tears.

Chris’ mother approached us, her expression pained as she apologised for the sins of her family. “I’m greatly sorry, Lucy, for all that my family put you through. We should have done better in finding the truth.”

“None of this is your fault, anyone would do the same if they were in your shoes,” my mother said.

Now that peace had returned to both families, it was time to deal with the rest of those treacherous elders who connived with Cade in the past and brought destruction to the pack.

Chris took me with him to face the council of the elders. Immediately they saw me, they began to murmur among themselves.

“What is this rogue doing in our midst? This is a disrespect to the council,” one of them uttered.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“The one who has disrespected the council is you,” Chris said, pointing at them. “You all are not deserving of being among my cabinet members. You chose the enemy over your pack, your people.”

“Cade was never the enemy, he fought for a good course..” Orvyn said in a low tone, his head buried in shame.

“By killing innocent people?” Chris cuts in. “Do you know how many lives we have lost in the past few months?”

“We only followed the directives of Orvyn, we had nothing to do with Cade directly,” one of the elders said.

I glared at them with disgust as they passed the blame among themselves. I couldn’t stand being in their midst so I begged to be excused.

After his meeting with them, Chris began to reform the pack. The elders who had conspired with Cade were swiftly removed from their position and power and banished from the pack, their influence forever extinguished.

Chris also reinstated me and my mother back to the pack. No longer were we to be called rogues but members of the hallowed manes pack.

“Ask anything of me and I’ll give it to you,” Chris said.

I immediately remembered my friends and families I had left behind at the rogue pack. My stay here and fight for freedom wouldn’t be worth it if I didn’t bring them along.

“I have friends in the rogue pack who are of good heart, can you pardon their crimes and bring them in as well?” I pleaded.

Chris looked at me in confusion. “You want me to bring rogues to this place. That’s too much, Lucy”

“You said anything. This is what I want,” I pleaded once more.

Chris nodded. “I’ll do that if that’s what you want.”

Gradually, the people of the pack began to accept us, they treated us with kindness except those who were indifferent about their decision. The hallowed manes pack had become a home for me and my mother.

I stood at the veranda of the tree house, my thoughts drifting to events that had unfolded in the past few days. I stood motionless, staring at the trees as the wind caressed the leaves.

“I’ve been looking all over for you,” Chris said, placing his hands on my waist.

“I needed some time alone. I still can’t believe that it’s all over, my father’s name is cleared all thanks to you,” I said passionately, tears beginning to run down my cheeks.

Suddenly he was at my side and I was held tightly, my sadness being controlled by his gentle touch. His hand stroked and caressed me to peace, his cheek nuzzling mine, his voice crooning intimate words of love and understanding over and over again until my body shuddered to a trembling halt.

“It was all you, my love. You fought for the truth, I did nothing,” he murmured, his lips caressing my forehead.

I raised my hand to trace loving fingers over the hard, fine bones of his face, the tender curves of his mouth. “I love you, Chris.”

He seized my trembling hand, kissing my fingers before entwining them with his own.

“Lucy, I love you,” he said tenderly. “Being with you is the best thing that has happened to me.”

He searched my face with tortured eyes then caught me to his, holding me close, his voice rough. I found myself enfolded to the muscular strength of Chris’ vibrant body, waves of heady desire storming through every part of my being.

He lifted me and took me inside before placing me gently onto the bed. My head propped up on one arm, watching unashamedly as he struggled out of his own clothes, I was bewitched by the scent of his warm skin, the smooth power of his muscled arms, the corrugated leanness of his fkat abdomen, the sheer overpowering beauty of his potent masculinity.

When he lowered his body to touch mine, I gasped, startled by the power and sped of my own arousal as his hands touched my breaststroke and his mouth worshipped the burgeoning apices.

“Please…” I forced the word out from pleasure swollen lips. “Please..” my hands reached out, begging for the solace of his body, craving it.

“My heart, my body,” he breathed and gave himself to me completely.

A sound from the door jolted us. Glen opened it and immediately stepped out, apologising.

“I’m sorry to interrupt but your mother requires your presence in preparation for your coronation, my lady.”

I had totally forgotten, tonight was my coronation as Luna of the pack and Chris’ mother had been making arrangements for the event.

“Hold that thought, we’ll get back to this after the coronation, ” I said.

I made to move off the bed, only to be held in place by one strong , muscular arm, which latched around my waist.

“Where’s your sense of priorities, Luna?” Chris growled. “As far as my future luna is concerned, my needs take precedence over everyone and everything else!”

A long time later, we lay once more in the totally consuming embrace of lovers at peace with themselves and the world. I knew with a deep satisfaction that there was nothing that could separate us from each other and that both I and Chris had truly found happiness and it would be forever.
