Chapter 77
(Author’s POV)
Sara, after a long and tiring day spent at the pack hospital, aiding and managing the victims and comforting their parents and respective guardians, was now dressing up in her room for Myra’s farewell dinner gathering.
She was simply looking refined and embodiment of graceful in an A line mauve hued knee length dress. Noah, who was for once adorned in casual clothes, wore an obsidian shaded cable knit sweater and dark grey linen loose pants. The pair looked both youthful as well as sophisticated, like they were barely twenty years old.
Noah saw her weariness and inquired, “How’s the kid from the Clinton family now p>
He had received all the news and reports from his Gamma, Janet Quinton who was in charge of investigating this mishap thoroughly. She gave him detailed information about the incident and timely reported it to him. So, he knew what happened at the school as well as what emerged at the pack’s hospital too.
Sara sighed listening to his question, she was mentally exhausted because of today’s incident, “After Elio and Matthew brought the holy basil from the Blood Fangs, Greg immediately started working on the potion to make the elixir. He was halfway done with it when I left the hospital. Eli and Beta Matthew are still there handling things and keep an eye out for us to know, we will know the outcome soon.” As she completed saying this, there were wrinkles settled on her forehead.
Very gently, Noah seated Sara on a comfort sofa and started rubbing and massaging her shoulders carefully and precisely, “You have worked hard today, my dear. Did that Vienna Clinton give you any trouble p>
Sara’s shoulders stiffened at his mention of Vienna. She knew that Noah knows what transpired at the hospital as her whole body tensed up but she still brushed it off casually. Not making a big fuss out of it, she said, “Nothing in particular. She was just worried about her son, Rory’s heath. Who wouldn’t be? That boy’s life was in danger and she is his mother; I can understand her feeling very well. I have been in her place too p>
Noah bent a bit, came close to her, swept her thick charcoal black hair to the front and brushed his moist lips off at the back of Sara’s neck tenderly, whispering in her right ear, he comforted her, “Everything is fine now. We have Nora with us and all our children are doing well and are safe, my love. The future ahead of us is going to be only better than what it is today. I, your husband and the only Lycan Alpha King in the whole of this world promises you my dearest Luna, I will never let anyone hurt you or my children, EVER again. “
Sara looked at him with moist eyes and held his hands that were placed on her shoulders, caressing them, “I always trust you, Noah. But, But~, there this dull but constant ache in my heart that has settled. I am afraid, really afraid because I am just too happy. What if, what if, our happiness is short lived this time as well? What will happen if something happens to you or any of my children? I can’t relive that torment again, honey. What happened with Nora’s kidnapping has not been solved till now; we don’t know where Brave’s mate has disappeared to, whether she is alive or *gulp*… and now this case. It pains me a lot to see my people suffer p>
Noah took a seat beside Sara on the couch and looked her in the eye, “Shhshh, relax. Things have changed from back then. Our family is not like how it was twenty years ago. Now, I am the Lycan King and you are the strongest and powerful Luna on this planet. Together, we have overcome every challenge, whether too small or big, that came our way. Soon, the mastermind behind Nora’s abduction and Hannah’s disappearance will be caught. I won’t let anything like that happen again. Each of the culprits will not go unpunished p>
Sara teary eyes blinked several times, her ears perked up, “What do you mean? The mastermind will be caught? Have you got any lead on the case p>
Noah pursed his lips, “Our investigation has showed that some inner person maybe involved, or maybe there are several of them. So, for now, I have laid a trap for them to fall into. You know not every person our pack is trustworthy and on our side. Some still follow him p>
Sara understood his words instantly, her jaw clenched with anger.
Noah Everests, the current Lycan King, surprisingly enough wasn’t the first choice to be Lucius Everests’ heir to the throne. He was the third born child out of his four siblings and the least likely to inherit the throne. He was born weak with fragile health.
Noah’s father, Lucius Alberto Everests, was a blood thirsty and greedy Alpha King, yes just an Alpha king not a Lycan.
He had four legitimate and countless illegitimate children to his name. He was a playboy through and through in his teens and this trait of his only got worse when he reached adulthood, fucking every she wolf that he wanted, left, right and center, a total lustful maniac. Girls also used to throw themselves at him; after all he was a charmer and a great seducer, always talking with his pants off and he was an Alpha.
By the age of thirty, Lucius was married to three she-wolves, all of pure blood and with exceptional family backgrounds. But his first wife and mistresses, they all had some flaws.
Lucius’s first wife, Moana Gilbert, was the daughter of pack’s Beta at that time, Hanson Gilbert and five years younger than Lucius. She didn’t like Lucius at all, not even his face, rather she despised him to death, loathed him. But Lucius was adamant on his pursuit of bedding her and tried to seduce her in every possible way because of her rare and cold beauty, he was obsessed with her.
Although, she was a tough nut to crack, her father saw how Lucius was always sticking around his daughter and as an opportunist, he offered Moana to him, willing. But, he twistedly asked Lucius to marry Moana first and make her, his Luna and then he could do whatever he desires to her.
Moana protested, threatened to kill herself and even tried to do it but in the end was stopped. She was dragged to the altar and wedded with the one she hated the most. On the first night, Lucius didn’t show any mercy and completely ravished her whole and even ended up bruising her ribs, rupturing them, his ’love making’ was that intense. After his goal was achieved and his desires were sated, he made her his Luna and then tossed Moana aside and only used her whenever he pleased just like a ragdoll.
Lucius had two more wives after her, Harper Gilbert
Harper Gilbert birthed Lucius’ first and second child for him, both boys named Casper Everests and Nathan Everests, they were twins. And Shannon Gabriel gave birth to a daughter named Catherine, who was the youngest of all the siblings.
Lucius tried to impregnate Moana many a times but because of the rib injury and her unwillingness, she didn’t get pregnant. So, Lucius brought Harper, her cousin and had sex with her in front of Moana. Rather than feeling jealous, she only felt disgusted and even ended up vomiting blood.
Soon, her cousin ended up being pregnant with twins and that too boys, this made Hanson anxious. He bribed her maid who fed Moana fertility potion in the name of healing medicine. Moana, who was oblivious to it all and ended up being pregnant. When she got to know about the betrayal and pregnancy, her world shattered and her first instinct was to terminate the baby.
But Hanson didn’t give her the chance. He made sure that Lucius got the news of Moana carrying his baby. Lucius was elated about the news and strengthened the security around Moana, which made it difficult for her to abort, she was under surveillance twenty four seven.
Lucius started spending nights with her again, fondling her, cuddling her to show his ’love’ for Moana. In the end, she had to retaliate and concede. She even started showing slight interest in Lucius and said sweet nothings to him, which only made Lucius excited even more.
Slowly and gradually, nine months passed by like that and Moana’s labor contraptions started. She was in intense pain and her body was already weak but somehow after enduring eight hours of gruesome labor, the baby was the born. Seeing her baby, she smiled at him with affectionate and teary eyes.
Lucius for the very first time in his life was emotional and so happy, that he could die, but it didn’t last long.
Moana called for him and when they were alone, she said with a sad but determined face, “Lucius Everests, I loathe you, you will never be happy” and grabbing a nearby scissors, she stabbed her heart in front of him.
The blood surged from her heart as well as her mouth, making Lucius flabbergasted. She spat a mouthful of blood and uttered, “My boy, Noah. I am sorry my son p>
Those were her last words.
