AlexanderI had the biggest round table made yesterday, with so many chairs. We wanted a large family meal with everyone we had come in contact with that year except the people who were behind bars. Mrs Dawson was closest to us, so I had her picked up myself. Janet, Maddy, Sally, Jayson, Andrew; were all invited from Carlton. I had my private jet go pick them up. It was a very beautiful sight.The chefs cooked exotic meals and everyone looked forward to eating together.Knowing the table wouldn't be able to get inside, we placed it under the tree in my yard. Everyone got to get a room to themselves and even though the house was rowdy and noisy, it still made a lot of sense.“The table is ready and being set, come on out everyone,” the kids ran around the house, bellowing this information.Everyone trooped out of their rooms, laughing and talking with one another. One by one, we sat at the table and the empty chairs were moved away by the staff.I stood up, raising a glass cup and a for

AlexanderEverything was starting to happen the way I wanted it to be. A very big happy loving family, with no issues or any form of bad blood amongst us. Yet I still dreamed of doing one beautiful thing, getting married to Melissa properly. I had asked for her hand in marriage again from her parents and they had given me their full support. Deep down I know that Melissa would love to start afresh with me again but I just wanted her to know some disturbing things from my life.I admired the diamond ring I got for her the day before yesterday. I had solely made sure that was all I did yesterday—find a wedding ring that is befitting for my woman.My ears caught the whiff of footsteps and I quickly hid the ring case.She sank into the bed beside me, rubbing my face. “Hey Alexander Pierce, I've been looking for you all over the house. Are you sure you are fine?”“Of course,” I gave a small smile. I didn't have the courage to look her in the eyes and she noticed it. To her, it might feel l

BreeA bowl of popcorn sat graciously on the table as we munched on it. Myself and the trio were binging a popular TV series. The remote was yanked from Albert's hand as he was the one controlling everything.“Hey,” he turned around screaming, he toned down his voice immediately he saw who got the remote from him.“Excuse us,” Alexander sat with Melissa beside me. Lady Selene walked in with Sir Carlos and just like that the kids found their way inside.It was a suspicious gathering. I looked from left to right but all their attention was on the TV. “I think I'll go inside with my buddies too,” I said, standing up.“No sir down Bree, you are needed here. Not with them,” Alexander said. Reluctantly, I sat. “Well, will someone be kind enough to explain the sudden strictness on your faces and the gathering?”He tuned the TV set from one station to another and he finally settled for one. It was a news channel, James and Melissa's foster father were being sent to jail.Judge: “James Talon

BreeIt's been 3 days since I last went to the police station. Alexander and Melissa were back home and everything and everywhere has been lively—back to how it used to be. I was still sulking about my visit, I was hating myself for it. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became with myself. I locked myself in my room, not letting anyone see me or talk to me. Aiden was smart enough to know that I didn't want to be seen so he always delivered my food through the space under the door. Everyone tried to talk to me but I wasn't letting them in.As usual that day, I sat in my bed, moping into space, still in my current situation before I heard the impossible.“Please break this door down, it's my house. I have a lot of them and I'll just have this repaired instead if everyone chose to stay here.I didn't believe what I heard. A few strikes at the locks and the door was forced open. I maintained my position and didn't move an inch.Melissa ran forward first, hugging me without mindi

BreeWith a black hoodie over my head, hiding the plasters that were still on my face, I snuck out of the house to the main road. Boarding a taxi to the police station, I was just so grateful that Melissa and Alexander weren't back from their trip. The kids and Lady Selene are today, sleeping I guess. That can only explain why the house was extremely silent before I left.No matter how much I tried to take my mind off it, I just wanted to see him. The man that called himself my biological father, the man that killed my mother just because he envied a set of people with generational wealth.“Hi good morning,” I greeted the first officer I came in contact with. “I'm here to see James Talon.”“Please sign here while I bring him out for you,” he pushed the visitor's signing book to me. “What's your name?”“Bree.”“Bree what?”I didn't know which one was appropriate. Whether to say Bree Thatcher or Bree Talon, none of them was settling right with me at the moment.“Just say Bree,” I half s

Melissa With the car seat lowered to the back, I desperately sought sleep. Alexander and I were home alone with the staff, we refused to sleep on time and played around like kids till the early hours of the morning. I wondered how he got up so early without a trace of sleep on his face, I guess work had made him get accustomed to it.I felt a hand on my face, pinching my nose and my ears. In a sleepy voice, I begged.“Oh God Alexander, let me have a little nap before we get to our destination, please,” I begged.“That isn't going to work on me,” he taunted. “Remember you wanted to play last night and I indulged you. You forget the fact that I'm a businessman and I'm used to staying awake.”I flung my hands out tiredly, signifying my surrender. “Oh the mighty Alexander, I give up. Let thy maiden enjoy her beauty sleep.”He chuckled, finally considered my request and let me be, diverting all his attention to the road. I heard him start rhyming with some words.“Wake up Melissa, we are

ElizaLocation: The Blackshade PackI waited patiently behind doors for the news I sought, it was the only way I could verify the news that had been flying around. The door suddenly opened, causing my heart to miss a beat.“Don't do that next time Jagger, you made me worry,” I scolded him immediately he found his way into my chambers.“I'm sorry my lady,” he bowed, still not saying anything.Impatiently, I went closer to him, speaking in hushed voices. Like they said, the walls have ears and he was the only one I trusted. “What did you find out?”His sigh made me legs weaken and caused the beating of my heart go faster. Jagger wasn't one to give in to fear or any type of emotion that dealt with uncertainties.“I'm afraid my lady, the rumors are true. Beta Thorin has been hurrying the elders up to proclaim him the new Alpha. He also emphasized on the fact that Blackshade pack was one that had never had a female Alpha and it shouldn't start now. Since he was the next one after the late

ElijahSitting on that chair and watching Astra doing whatever she knew how to do best was becoming tiring and boring. She knew how to keep me waiting for a long time and by now I should be used to it but instead it only pissed me off more. I had to keep my cool, she was someone who could annihilate me with just a snap of her finger.She finally concluded her task, batting her eyelids in my direction. Her long dark hair flowed freely, covering a portion of her eyes from both sides. Her voice infiltrated my thoughts like an old man's own. “How can I help you Elijah?”“That lady is now in Tristan's pack,” I blurted out without thinking twice, hoping it would take her by surprise. But instead, she just sat there looking at me with no difference in her eyes.In the most calm and unexpected tone of voice, she replied. “I know.”Her response and attitude riled me up. I maintained my cool and said, my voice going higher than normal. “You knew? Since when?”“Since the day she healed him,” she

DariusFrom the spot I stood, I watched as he talked to himself and how he proceeded to lay on the bare floor. No matter how much I talked to him about letting that lady go, he wouldn't listen. He was probably having a change of heart, might be because of Raven. She had a lot of talking and convincing to do.I excused myself and snuck out of the pack, making sure the enforcers on patrol didn't catch a whiff of it. I made my way deep into the forest, where the rogues made their home a secret.“Who is there?” The rogue enforcer smelt so badly, I could smell him from a mile away. “Better watch your mouth before I shut it for you,” I shut him up. He knew exactly who was there, my smell would have given me away yet he had the guts to ask me a stupid question.“My apologies Beta Darius,” he bowed. “The boss is inside.”I made my way into the inner room, helping myself to something that can cover my nose. A foul smell filled the air and I wondered how they managed to live there.“Darius,” m

Tristan The darkness had become my companion, I saw less of Darius everyday and I couldn't fault him for that. The pack was stable for now, everyone lived peacefully, so there was no need for him to jump on my neck. I sat in the dark near the cabin I assigned her, with a plate of food specifically asked to be prepared for her.“It's no use sitting around here,” her voice startled me, allowing me to drop the plate of food I held. “Have I done something wrong this time around?”I came out of the shadows, with nothing in my head to say. “Hi,” I gave my signature smile.Standing at akimbo, she pouted her lips and the swollen side shot out. She looked like she had placed an egg in that spot. I almost laughed but I held myself in order.“I-I-I uhmmm, I brought dinner but,” I turned around to look at the mess I had created. “But it's wasted now, sorry.”She turned around and saw what I had meant. “Thank you but if you will excuse me, I'll like to go to bed.”Mentioning bed, I remembered whe

TristanA nudging annoying pain on my shoulder and spine wouldn't let me be. It was something that started over the days and I've tried to figure out what was happening. But no matter what I did, it was still there. Reluctantly I found my way to Raven's chamber and helped myself to the bed.“What is it? How can I help you?” Her voice gave off an unwelcoming tone and I knew where the attitude was coming from.“Now is not the time for all this Raven. Can you help me take a look at my spine and shoulder? It hurts badly.”She took her time before adjusting to my level. I monitored her facial expressions, she had a sour one on.“Tell me it's nothing serious,” I begged. Now was not the time to be weak. The pack needs me, everyone needs me.“It is something serious. This healed wound is caused by who?”I started to recall. It was the night a big black wolf attacked me from nowhere in the forest when I went on my last hunting spree.“What exactly are you asking? Who healed the wound or who ca

Raven The news of what happened had spread around the pack members with everyone having a different version of what actually happened. Immediately the 2 enforcers rushed her in, I knew that Tristan had done something to her and I requested they tell me all that happened. Given that they were present at the scene, they gave me a correct load down.He had ordered me not to interfere in whatever he does to her. Staying quiet in all of these would be catastrophic and the future of the pack will be doomed.I reclined to her level and wiped her hair back, mopping her face with a rag. I noticed her mouth was full of unhealed bruises and her shoulder dislocated. It was a new one because one of the things that marveled Tristan about her was her healing powers even though she hadn't shifted yet.I mixed a concoction and helped pour it in her mouth, it should help her with the bruises.As she snored away quietly, my mind raced to the information given to me by the enforcers. Maybe it was high t
