ANDREA. The day passed in a blur with nothing for me to do, I missed working on the farm and supplying the products to the orphanage. I miss my friends, I hope they are not too worried about me. It was nighttime before the Alpha finally came in, I quickly got up from the bed and stood. I didn’t want him to see me sitting on his bed, that would be like a disrespect to him. ‘Like you didn’t sleep on this same bed last night’ my subconscious mind taunted; I waved it off. “Andrea, why are you standing?” He asked, taking his shirt off, and I quickly brought my face down with heated cheeks. “I… I.” I opened my mouth but couldn’t say anything, so I closed it back. I don’t know what I wanted, I would rather not be in his presence and at the same time I wanted to stay close to him, sniffing his body. “Andrea!” He called, and I snapped out of my thoughts. “Yes, Alpha,” I answered without raising my head. “Raise your head, Andrea.” He commanded, but I didn’t do it, I would rather not stare
ANDREA. After that little talk with Alessia about the Alpha, we went on a stroll around the pack ‘cause Alessia insisted that she show me the in and out of the pack. I didn’t like the idea, not like I’m that important to know every crook and canny of the pack house, but after much persuasion, I grudgingly followed her. “This is the main pack hall, where every member of the pack gathers for any celebration in the pack,” Alessia explained as we stopped at the gigantic building, it was huge alright, and the biggest pack hall I’ve seen. I stared at the design and the huge gate in awe, I wondered what the inside would look like. “Don’t worry, you’ll go inside when we celebrate the coming of age ceremony.” She said, and I nodded then turned to her. “What do you mean coming of age ceremony?” I asked, and she smiled. “You know when you come of age to meet your wolf for the first time, and then you get a mate who will be by your side for life.” I scoffed at her last word, be by your side f
Chapter Twenty. ANDREA I spent some time with the girls before leaving the maids' quarters at noon. My day was as boring as yesterday and when the Alpha came back, surprisingly he didn’t say anything about me going out of his mansion. I took my bath, and ate before going to bed, I wondered what I was going to do tomorrow. Next Day. I woke up and the first person I saw was the Alpha; what was he doing here? Isn’t he supposed to have left the room by now?“What? You don’t want me here?” He asked, staring at me; I dropped my head like a culprit. How did he know what I was thinking about?“N…no, good morning, Alpha.” I got up, adjusting the sheet to my chest. “Hmm, I’m leaving very soon. You can do whatever you like today but make sure you don’t go close to the borders, understand?” I nodded but quickly answered when he glared at me. “Yes, Alpha.” “Good.” I watched him do his thing before leaving, and I could finally breathe properly. His aura is so disturbing, he said I could do an
DANTE. Two Weeks Later. After that dream Andrea had two weeks ago, I made sure to monitor her closely, she gets that dream almost every night now and when I asked her about it, she couldn’t say anything. It was like the dream was haunting her, I really need to know what’s going on. Knock. Knock. “Come in, Fred.” The door opened and Fred stepped in. “Good morning, Alpha.” He greeted me, and I nodded. “Rose just called, and she said your attention is needed urgently.” I frowned. “Why did she call? I thought I made it clear to her that she shouldn’t call me until I visit the office.” I growled, I’m so tired. “Yes you did tell her that, but the situation on the ground needs your attention and not your PA’s attention, Alpha.” I ruffled my hair. Rose was my personal assistant in my game company in the human world. The game company was my pass time and since I was a child I was obsessed with games, so I didn’t to have a company where we produced games, cool games might I add, and alt
ANDREA. It has been two weeks after I had that horrible dream and for some reason unknown to me, the Alpha has become overprotective of me. He monitors my movement, even though he’s not in the pack, he makes sure that everything is alright with me and I like it. I like that he cares about me, although occasionally I see the way he looks at me like he doesn’t like my presence and when I try to leave the room he wouldn’t agree. After that confrontation with Anna, she and her minions have made it their life mission to frustrate my life. I mean how many times will I tell her that I’m not the Alpha’s fuck buddy or whatever she thinks. The mating ceremony is just two weeks away, and I’m so excited to witness it even though I won’t meet my mate, though I hate the ceremony now, I wouldn’t want anyone to know I was rejected. It’s nothing big to brag about. I spend my time with John and Alessia, that’s when she isn’t busy with some pack matters. “Hey, whore!” I didn’t stop to see the person,
ANDREA’S POV. After taking my bath and eating, I went straight to my bed ‘cause I was damn tired. I’m never shopping with Alessia again, I didn’t know it was this exhausting. The Alpha wasn’t in when I came in, so I decided to sleep off without waiting for him, something in me wanted me to wait for me, but I couldn’t. I’m so tired, I lay on my bed and then dozed off. ****I stared at the unfamiliar surroundings again, I couldn’t see anyone, just plain ground, and nothing. No trees, no water or animals, and there was no single life in the place. It was just me. Everything was just earth and earth, I wondered where I was. I looked around again and kept on walking to the east side, I saw a shadow in the distance and paused but without thinking of the outcome of what I was doing, I decided to go towards it. As I neared the shadow I saw a figure, it was a woman in a blue gown. She looked beautiful with her blue doe eyes, her high cheekbones, her full red lips, and her smile. There was a
Andrea. I ran through the forest with speed as I was breathing heavily, I was tired but couldn’t stop. I looked behind my back but couldn’t see anything running after me, but I kept on running while crying, I cleaned the tears from my eyes, so I could see where I was going clearly, but the tears wouldn’t stop. It kept pouring out as the image I just saw kept popping into my head. ‘Mother, father, please help me’ I muttered to myself as I ran faster. “Come back here Andrea!” A loud voice thundered in the forest and I felt cold on my body. I didn’t stop; I kept on running around, and it was like I was running in a circle. “Come to me, Andrea.” The voice said again. “No, leave me alone,” I found myself saying as I ran. “Got ya.” I bumped into something, falling on my butt and when I raised my head, I screamed. This time I saw what was calling me, it was an old woman with a wrinkled face, she had a devious smile on her face. She walked closer to me with the aid of her stick as
Andrea. I was so excited, today was the Blood Moon pack mating ceremony and I can’t wait to see how their things are done. After my dream and search which wasn’t productive, I met with Isa who couldn’t understand the dream fully, but she just told me to wait patiently for my time. Eliza has been a good companion and wolf these past weeks, and I can’t help but thank the moon goddess; this is actually the first good thing she has done for me, and I’m grateful. And I also want to thank the Alpha for making me a member of the pack, a little ceremony was held after my birthday to make me a member of the pack and although the Alpha attended, he didn’t stay for long. And speaking of the Alpha, he has been acting weird these days, and he wouldn’t let me get close to him. It was like my presence spiked him; he wasn’t the only one, though. I sometimes wish to be in his presence, to inhale his sweet scent and rub my hands on those hard abs. I’m a fool thinking about that, but I can’t help i
An hour later. We were in the Crescent Moon Pack house, Dante and Fred were already here so we didn’t meet much of their interaction. Nicholas was the first to see me as I walked in, and he rushed to my side, Rae and Alessia in a defensive stance behind me as they saw him coming closer. “Please forgive me, Andrea! I… I had no idea my parents did that to your parents, please, we are sorry.” He begged as he fell on his knees. I stared at Nicholas and looked around if I could see Lilith anywhere, but she was nowhere to be found. My eyes met with Sarah’s and I could see her trying to hold her tears. I nodded at her, and she smiled before taking my gaze back to Nicholas on the ground. “I forgive you, Nicholas. Yes, I forgive you and your sister because I know you weren’t there when that happened, all I need from you is for you to return my father’s pack to me.” I said. He answered quickly before I could even finish my words, “Take it, Andrea. You can take it because it belongs t
ANDREA. TWO WEEKS LATER. Two weeks have passed since little Audrey left us for a better place. The pain of her loss was still there and I blame myself every day for not being quick, for not saving her on time. Hell, I blame myself for coming out of the bunkers, I got to know from the guards placed outside the bunkers that Audrey slipped out when she didn’t see me. She came out because of me because I couldn’t do one thing I was instructed to do. I hosted myself in a pity party and used sex as a way out, for the past two weeks I have been extra horny and wanted to jump on Dante’s bone more than ever. I thought it was because I was still grieving, but it was becoming too much. Dante tried to pull me out of my grief, but it was so hard, it was hard to forget those cute eyes and lips. Those eyes that were always staring at me in admiration…. Now I can’t see them anymore. She was gone. “I miss you, Audrey,” I whispered and then groaned when my stomach growled for the umpteenth time t
DANTE. “You can’t kill her, Dante.” She said after laughing to her fill. My brows raised at what she said, “Do you think I’m bluffing, witch, I will kill your daughter the same way you killed my parents.” I let my claws grow and then positioned them at Estelle’s neck, but Morgana said something that halted my plans. “You can’t kill her because she’s your sister.” She yelled and I froze. I froze where I was standing for some good minutes when I heard that, there was no way that was true, right? That couldn’t possibly be right, there was no fucking way Estelle could be my sister. Fuck! I don’t feel any sibling bond with her, and she doesn’t have a fucking wolf in her. Lycans are special and any family with the Lycan blood has a close bond with their sibling(s) like the way I have one with Alessia, but I don’t feel anything for Estelle so it was pretty clear that she was lying. Everything she was saying was to buy tile, and I’m not falling for that anymore. I stared at Morgan
‘Please save her, Dante.’ I managed to pass the message through the mind link, then took my eyes back to little Audrey, who was still running towards me. ‘Don’t come any closer, Audrey.’ Morgana stopped muttering her spells and I gasped in shock when she took one hand from mine and then stretched it towards little Audrey, and my eyes opened wide in shock. “No.” My heart thundered as I looked at little Audrey who wasn’t attempting to flee from there, and then my eyes moved to Morgana who was still reciting some spell with her hands stretched out. My eyes widened as I saw the spell going straight to little Audrey’s way, I tried to hold Morgana’s hand, but I was far too weak to do anything. Summoning all the strength I could mutter, I yelled, “Save her, Dante, please,” I begged with my other hand glued to Morgana’s. She wasn’t letting this go easy….she promised not to hurt anyone. I couldn’t move with my hand trapped in Morgana’s, my heart pounded as my breath sized. I wat
DANTE. The fight with the dead rogues and witches was both exhausting and tiring, they all didn’t want to die a second time and anytime we thought they were dead they would rise again. All my focus was on the rogues I was trying to kill, I didn’t know where Andrea was, but I could feel she was doing okay through our bond. I was busy fighting with the undead rogue for the fifth time when Jocelyn came to my side, she looked at me and then whispered something in my ear. My eyes widened immediately and when I looked at the other side, I saw Andrea already there speaking with Morgana. She wasn’t supposed to be there without anyone by her side…without me by her side. “Go Dante, I will hold this,” Fred said and I turned to him. I didn’t even know he was behind me. “Thanks,” I looked at Jocelyn who nodded then took off with Jocelyn running after me. Isa saw us and quickly ran after us. ‘Wait for me, Andrea.’ ~~~~~~~~~~ ANDREA. I got to Morgana’s side quicker than I thought and
ANDREA. I looked at Dante who had shifted and was already by my side, he pulled me closer to his warm body. “What is she doing?” He asked. “Dark magic,” I replied. I looked up, and the once sunny sky had turned dark, a strong wind blew out of nowhere while Morgana kept on chanting. My eyes widened when I saw the already dead witches and rogues waking up, and walking towards Morgana…..what the fuck!! Everyone stopped fighting as they watched the dead rising and walking towards Morgana, even the headless witches woke up and walked aimlessly towards Morgana. Morgana had a wide smile on her face as she kept on chanting and calling on whatever demon she was summoning. “We have to do something, Andrea,” Alessia said, coming over to my side. I looked at her and asked, “What can we do? The deed has already been done, we can’t turn back the hand of time unless we have that.” I said, pointing at Morgana. They all shuddered and shook their heads. “What on earth is happening here?”
ANDREA. I couldn’t stay with the women and children in the bunkers, not when my mate and every other warrior in the pack was fighting out there. I wanted to go out there since those witches came for me and I did it, after making sure all the women and children were accounted for, I sneakily left the bunkers without alerting the guards placed outside. When I made it to the battleground I saw the fight already in full swing, the smell of blood that covered the ground from dead witches or wolves hit me. I looked around at the number of her people fighting, trying to see if I could find Dante anywhere, but I couldn’t see him. My eyes met with Fred’s and for a minute, he was shocked to see me standing there. “What the fuck are you doing here, Andrea?!” He yelled, completely ignoring his surroundings. My eyes widened when I saw a witch approaching him from behind. “Watch out.” Out of instinct, I stretched my hand out and the witch's head blew off. Her body slumped on the ground wh
ANDREA. “We are under attack!!!” I froze in where I was standing as my mind comprehended the words I just heard. Under attack again… I woke up from my reverie when something tugged my dress, “We need to leave Andrea. Now!” Alessia didn’t wait for my reply before dragging me out. Although I was following her, I still couldn’t believe that we were under attack, by whom and why? The warriors who were sound and ready to fight rushed out of the infirmary with us also, and while we were heading back to Dante’s pack house they assured me that they would do everything possible to protect the pack. “Where’s Andrea?” Dante hissed, rushing outside and that was only when I came back to my senses. “I’m here, Dante.” I was immediately engulfed in his warm body and he kissed my head. “What’s going on, Dante?” I asked, pulling from the hug and searching his face. “We are under attack, Andrea, and I need you to go inside with the other women. Take your Luna to safety.” He ordered a warrio
ANDREA. “Dante!!” I called out in panic and watched in horror as the witch’s light ball moved quickly in his direction. My heart was beating hysterically as I watched Dante look at the light in both shock and anger, but he didn’t move. ‘Come on, Dante,’ I urged in my mind as I whispered a silent prayer to the goddess. I opened my eyes and saw Dante move quickly to the side, he growled and charged at the witch. I let out a sigh of relief and a tear rolled from my eyes when I saw he was okay. He killed the witch and the two others before facing me, he was breathing heavily, and my eyes roamed around his body, searching for any cut on his body and I gasped when I saw the huge injury on his back. My legs automatically carried me to his side, and before I knew it I was holding his hands, “Are you alright?” I asked, searching his eyes for any sign of pain. But all I could see there was happiness and relief. “I’m so glad you’re okay, Andrea.” He pulled me into a hug and I melted in
