Lyon's POV****
It's been a year since my accident, I spent six months in a coma and by the time I woke up, Jason and his mother had taken everything away from me, the pack, the company and even my home.
I was shoved to the other side of the estate, rejected by everyone, no one came to visit me except for my Aunt, it was like everyone had forgotten all about Alpha Lyon who brought peace to the pack.
But suddenly today there was noise outside, I heard the voice of a female, her voice was tiny and warm so I thought to myself that this could only be a mistake, because there is no way anyone would come looking for me.
But she stood outside the door requesting on seeing me, I had no idea what was going on but as the door slammed open and she stormed in, my gaze locked with hers and my wolf growl.
There was this intense surge of emotions swirling inside of me, she was not my mate, but she had this strong effect on me and I could not fathom why.
"Alpha Lyon, let get married!" She blurted out, not a hint of fear in her eyes, but there was the s pain, anger and desperation that lingered around her.
"Are you looking for who to play with, because of that is the case, then I suggest you look for some boy if your age to play with"
"I am not here to play, please I want you to propose to me and let get married as soon as possible"
She insisted, her eyes trailed down to my legs. I frowned, wondering if this was some sort of a plot from my step mother to mock me.
"Listen young lady, I have no idea what kind of game you are playing here, but if you're persistent, I might veforce to ask the guards to throw you out"
"I can help you heal your legs!" She blurted out again, her audacity was nothing like I had ever seen.
Yet her words made me so furious, was she mean to give me some hope that the sliver wolf might still exist and I might have a chance at life again.
I shook my head, not ready to believe this madness as I turned around and fwas ready to go upstairs.
"Send the miss out of here!" I ordered the guards, the nodded their head and walked up towards her.
"I know that you have been secretly buying shares of the company!"
I came to an abrupt halt the moment the words escaped her lips, her words had sent shiver down my spine that I was even afraid to stare at her.
No one had any idea about the shares except for Mason and I yet this little walked in here with so much audacity and had information that could get her killed.
"Who told you about that?" I finally turned to meet her gaze, my heart racing frantically at this strange girl.
"No one told me, I know things that others shouldn't know, like for example, I also know that you plan to take back the pack in a few months time"
She spoke again and this time, I became tensed, it was hard for me to know what was going on.
"Who else knows about this things that you have just said right now?"
"No one, I can assure that your secret is safe with me" her eyes was blazing at me mixed with confidence and curiosity.
She walks over to me, not even a single fear in her eyes, no doubt she knew what she was doing and most especially, she knew what she wanted.
"Listen to me Alpha Lyon if you get married to me, I won't be a liability to you, rather I will be a good asset, I have a good wolf, one of the best trackers in the pack, not to mention that I have unique healing skills that could make you walk again, what else could you want?"
She continued to persuade me. Her father is a trusted aid of my brother and no matter what angle I look at this, I still think that this might be a set up.
"You have stated all the reason I should agree to this marriage, but you stormed in here like a child that wasn't raised properly, definitely you want something in return, I want to hear it out!"
"I don't want anything, I just need your last name, to be a member of the Vaughn family"
"And why do you want that so desperately?" I asked but she hesitated, as if contemplating on responding or not.
"I want power!" There was this glister of pain in her eyes, it was briefed the moment she spoke, but it was there. She was like someone that had been brutally hurt and I couldn't tell why.
"Listen young girl, if you are looking for power, I am telling you that you are in the wrong place, I am just a crippled man confined to the smallest place in the pack house and not to mention, I am fed foods meant for a beggar, I have nothing to give you"
"No, that is not true, you have the Vaughn name, you are the first son of the family, that is more than enough that I need"
She convinced me and this time, she went on her knees, that way, she could stare directly into my eyes.
She was just an inch away from me, her scent was so intoxicating, there was something about her that was so difficult to resist.
My wolf wanted to take his form, yet it took all my might to stop him as we stared into her eyes.
"You have been fighting Lyon but you have no hand to hold onto, you have no chest to rest when you get tired, no one is on your side because they have all labeled you a loser"
She paused, tilted her head closer to me, the fire blazing in her eyes as she continued.
"Let me be that shield Lyon, let me be that shoulder you get to rest on when you get tired, let me help you reclaim what is yours"
Her voice is soft and cold, yet piercing deep into my heart.
I stared at her, unable to respond. There was an intense silence as she anxiously waited for my response,but I knew that I had nothing to lose, she wanted to play a game, so let's play!
