REGULUS The door to his inner bedroom creaked loudly when he stepped into their room quietly, grinda was pacing and breathing heavily from one point of the big apartment to the other. Everywhere was pitch dark and it wasn’t even night yet, she had switched off all the light and dropped the curtains. The pain she was feeling right at the moment struck his heart and he growled in pain too. Priscilla and her other maid bowed before him and walked out of the room without looking back, they had been the one consoling her since he left that morning. She didn’t even bother to get up from the bed to see him off. When he left that morning.Shrugging off his thoughts, he switched on the light in the room and she finally looked up at him for the first time. Grinda smelled his presence even before he stepped into their private room, but she chose to ignore him. The light got her attention and she immediately lost it, her whole body Was shaking vehemently and she needed someone to brawl at
HINT & GISTLUNA ELIANE It’s been three weeks since her son lost his Luna to whatever took her away from their grasp, although nobody knows what is really happening, but it’s more bothersome that no one has seen Tahlia.Her son is Very powerful and he can easily find anyone he wants to, it's been three weeks and yet no news about their newly appointed luna.Her daughter; Katherine squeezed her hand and she offered a sad smile in return, the two had been trying so hard to stay strong for Alpha Caspian, his enemies and rival will take this weak opportunity to attack and try to overthrow him, if care is not properly taken.As if confirming her thoughts, Katherine stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her, sincere worry etched on her face, she looked like she hadn’t been able to sleep for a while.“Mother… why are we being summoned to a secret meeting with all the elders and political figures, or … hope it’s not about overthrowing my brother?” Katherine whispered,her voice filled w
THE PLAGUE CASPIAN That same night, Caspian arranged his private transport to be ready for the trip to the strange woman pack, according to the woman. They must get there that same night because Tahlia requires proper and urgent treatment.All through the journey Caspian couldn’t think straight, all his body and soul was already with Tahlia, his wolf yearned and whimpered for her.Of Course their relationship isn’t so smooth and lovey dovey but she called for him even at her worst moment, when she was dying and he would save her over and over again, he would bring her home even if he had to drag her back.“She’s a very beautiful woman… I’m still fascinated by her hair. The strange woman murmured beside him, “she’s my sweet fire… wild but very sweet” Alpha Caspian responded smiling awkwardly.“I’m glad we were able to crown her Luna before this whole incident” regulus chirped quietly beside them, Caspian didn’t know he was listening, he nodded at his best friend and beta in agreement
KARMA TAHLIA Two days later, Tahlia finally opened her eyes, the first thing she did when she came back to reality was to scream for Caspian, she didn’t have to scream for long. He was right there beside her.Everyone thought Alpha Caspian had gone in search of Luna Tahlia, even his mother and sister, because they didn’t see him in the mansion for the past two days. Only Beta Regulus and Grinda knew the secret, Alpha Caspian had been in their apartment all along with the doctors who were doing everything in their power to revive their luna back.“I’m here … here with you” he breathed into her face, gripping her now warm hand in his tight hold. Tahlia gave him a sigh of relief and went back into unconsciousness again.“What’s happening to her?” Alpha Caspian barked at the doctors who immediately informed him that she’s out of danger now but still needs to recuperate and get her energy back. With much effort, Beta Regulus was able to force his friend out of the room after two days t
GRINDA “It’s not funny at all anymore… he’s pissing me off and he knows it, that man will be the one to drive me crazy” Tahlia complained to her best friend, at the same time flinging and throwing her clothes everywhere from one of her giant wardrobes.Grinda rolled her eyes dramatically for the fourth time in thirty seconds, the two couples would drive her mad before the end of the day.That same morning Alpha Caspian had called her into his office and asked her to help him check on his crazy mate, he didn’t want to see her as she would only spike up his anger and he’s working on his anger issues.According to him, Tahlia would crush all his effort at once, if he set his eyes on her, and he needed to know if she’s doing perfectly fine.After the whole kidnap incident, he had locked her up in their apartment for the past two days and nobody aside from her two maids and head maid was allowed to visit her.Not even Grinda, she would as well be seeing her for the first time since he o
RITE IN THE AIR RITE IN THE AIR TAHLIA The next day, Katherine, Tahlia and Grinda sat on the balcony that evening. Enjoying the view and cold breeze, taking cold juice and some dessert, while they talked loudly and tried to keep Tahlia’s company.“You know … your skin colour is coming back, all the paleness is gone!, the doctors are doing a great job” Katherine complimented Tahlia, trying to find a soft subject.Everyone noticed that she wasn’t in the mood for chit chat and had been grumpy since her arrival from the kidnapping incident, always switching mood.Also the news about her sisters’ punishment had threw her off balance, she didn’t how to feel, of course she knows how much quincy deserve the punishment.And one reason she’s still alive is because her mate; Alpha Caspia, still considers her as a family member; he had killed Justin immediately without batting an eyelid.“Katherine you don’t have to take it easy on me … I’m not a child… you can speak your mind,I’mVery much St
CAPSIAN Before she arrived, he knew she was coming, the bond mate and his special abilities could tell him those types of things, also he could feel the mood she was in.“The fighting princess' ' … he murmured to his beta, they were both sitting under a big tree in the garden house, just enjoying the breeze and atmosphere after a long and hectic day in their respective offices.Sometimes they find time to just relax, today was one of those days. He had been doing a lot of hide and seek and he needed the fresh breeze.Beta regulus immediately excused himself but carried a whole bottle of wine along with him, “I wish you luck” he said mockingly, before leaving hurriedly.Caspian had been trying to avoid his mate these past days but here she is, stalking toward him and coming with her full rage, like it could temper his own?.He poured himself another cup of chilled sweet alcoholic wine and chugged the full glass cup into his throat at once, signalling for his guards to excuse them.Imm
ANTICIPATING DREADKATHERINE“Girlsssssss! It’s not funny… please stop laughing, it’s pissing me off the more, he just kissed me and I turned into a jelly! … like how come?” Tahlia repeated the same thing again.Since she entered the room, that was the only thing she had been saying. Sam had brought her in and she couldn’t stop chattering about how her mate just kissed her and how she couldn’t fight him like she planned.Katherine and grinda had been laughing hysterically since she returned back to the room. Not because of what happened but because of the way her eyes were bulging and the disbelief in her voice.“You are just wasting your time if you think you don’t want my brother.., if you ask me, I advise you to start thinking of strategies to make him yours.. like the woman touch and all '' Katherine said amidst her laughter.“Nobody can soften that man.. he’s a beast” Tahlia replied in defeat. “My dear.. I have told her over and over again, my girl rushed out of the room with fi
ALPHA CASPIAN POV Grinda and Tahlia shot out of their sitting position immediately the Lycan king walked into Grinda’s house, he couldn’t enter her bedroom so they had enough time to rush out of the balcony to meet with him.“I looked for you in your chambers and you weren’t there, I knew immmediately that you had come here after I warned you not to” that was the first thing the Lycan king spat at his wife; Tahlia.“I… I’m sorry, we couldn’t stay away from each other without knowing that we are fine… please … don’t punish me” she begged, clasping her hands tighter, the fear grew on her face and body at every second that passed.“It’s okay …. Go back to your apartment … I want to speak with Grinda … you should rest, don’t walk around yet” he responded, forcing his wolf to stay calm.Alpha Caspian was frowning but it was not because he was angry this time, it was because his wolf and darkness were forcing him to get mad at his wife again, and he didn’t want to, especially agter seeing
TAHLIA’s POV Immediately Grinda heard about Tahlia’s recovery she sent her maid to sneak in a letter to Sam, knowing fully well that Sam would deliver the message without getting caught; she loves Tahlia so much that she will happily take the burn if she even gets caught. “Don’t tell me to calm down … I haven’t seen my girl for days now, I’m worried… I can’t believe her husband would do that to her!” Grinda yelled angrily at the guard standing by the door.Beta Regulus; hee mate, had placed the young warrior there to keep her indoors and grounded as her punishment but she had successfully turned him into her gossip partner. Grinda had been fidgeting since her maid went on the crucial and risky errand, she would get caught, including the fact that she hadn't seen Tahlia for days now, all she knows is that Tahlia is better and back to her chambers.The young warrior rolled his eyes at her playfully, definitely enjoying the discussion, he quickly opened the door to stretch his head in
TAHLIA POV The queen mother wouldn’t leave Tahlia's bed side, she had been lying there for a few weeks now and it was getting worrisome, the king as well was distracted but had to be strong for his pack people's sake.“Take it easy…. Just rest your back here, finally you can be discharged .., ohoooo, my dear…. Welcome back” she beamed at Tahlia who smiled widely back at her.But almost immediately her smile waned away and a Worrisome frown replaced it, the queen mother already knew the cause of the immediate change in demeanour, Tahlia had remembered why she’s still in the hospital.“How’s Grinda … how’s she, hope she’s fine? …I totally forgot, please I would like to see her” the doctor who had just unplugged the drip from her hand gave the queen mother a knowing look who in turn gestured for the doctor to excuse them.Same with Sam and her other maid who had been with her for the past week, Sam in particular wouldn’t stop worrying, “you need to reduce the volume of your voice … and
QUINCY POV.“We started talking a few days ago and I’m getting out of here soon… I only came to tell you, maybe you will be interested in coming with me…'' Quincy was whispering in a hushed tone to Pascal but he was practically ignoring her intentionally and Quincy despised it when she’s not taken seriously.“I really appreciate your thinking and thoughts … but pleasseeeeeee… for the love of the moon goddess, you both should leave me out of this and I will advise you as well, stay away from Joan… you are still alive and breathing in this prison … that woman will make life terrible for you” he said back in response to the excited joan.His response affected her mood because when she spoke next there was no smile on her lips or excitement on her face anymore, “what’s wrong with you… ?.. aren’t you smart enough to beat a woman to her game…?… well if you think Joan can screw Me…, ask my sister if you are lucky enough to get out of here” she spat back at him.Anger and pride mixed toget
QUINCY The sound of pascal arrival jerked Quincy up and she jumped up from her slumber at once, there’s nothing much to do in the prison aside from sleep and eat the cold and unsatisfactory food brought to her and do menial labour and hard work which always wears her out.She looked out from her cage door and sighted Pascal briefly before he was pushed into his cage, although she didn’t know him on a personal level she had seen him with Katherine in the meeting hall when her father came to plead on her behalf.“How could you hurt your mate like that…?….” She didn’t wait to listen to the remaining conversation, that’s all she needed to lighten up the fire of her hopes, she knew she could as well use the dangling opportunity in front of her.She waited and leaned in her eyes closer to listen to more of their conversation, they didn’t know she was listening but her prison cage is right beside pascal, “I’m sure he doesn’t know me…. Hmmm it will be very difficult to get him on my side” Qu
PASCAL“I…. I… didn’t do it …. Joan! Why will you accuse me of all these!” I spat back at her, my eyes squinting at her, I was trying to give her our special code sign to cover up for me and I will in return help her.But I guess I had become useless to her, she eyed me furiously and looked away, tapping her foot restlessly onAlpha Caspian’s expensive tiled floor.Katherine had said her own part of the story and left me in a tight corner, same with Joan. The two women were smart and I wish I could lie effortlessly in the Alpha face like Joan Isdoing right now, so I strengthened my resolve and moved closer to the Alpha.“I didn't do all of these things Alpha caspian… Joan is a pretentious liar … I…” the guard who moved swiftly behind me forced me on my kneel before I could catch my breath, cutting off the lies coming out of my mouth.“You are dead!” Joan mouthed at me, instantly I knew I’m in trouble, I shook my head at my self pitifully, I couldn’t even dare look at Alpha Caspian, he
JOAN’s POV It was so easy for joan to deny all the allegations because Grinda and Tahlia weren’t there, Grinda was busy serving her punishment of being locked inside her apartment by her husband, He didn’t whip her like Alpha Caspian did to his wife. While Tahlia is fighting for her dear life, they were exactly where she wanted them to be and if all she had to do is sacrifice one foolish lamb to save her ass, she would do it over and over again.Alpha caspian was sweating prufeously under the cold weather, two air conditioner are in his office, yet he was panting and wet all over his black shirt, he haven’t stop pacing around his magnificent office since he summoned her few minute ago, it was begining to make her eyes turn, katherine sat there on a red leather couch, her eye fixed on the ground.“I didn’t do all of these things and you know it katherine, you are just jealous that your brother wouldn’t send me away and because he loves me, aren’t you Tahlia’s friend? Joan spat at kat
KATHERINE POV“Mother….she’s not waking up, she’s not breathing … please do something” Katherine was howling at the top of her voice, hitting her head fiercely with her hands like it could revive Tahlia.Her mother was by her side at once, eyeing her suspiciously, she had been doing since they all converged in Alpha Caspians’ chamber.“Mother, don't look at me like that… I swear it wasn’t my fault . Ohooo, I should have fought hard for them, I was pushed to the corner by that witch… it’s Joan's mother” Katherine found herself spitting out to her suspicious mother.“What does that joan has to do with what’s Happening to the luna of this pack? How can she hurt the queen…what have you girls done to annoy the Alpha? Ohoooo you girls want to killl me right? and … and where is grinda? I haven’t seen her. Queen Elaine kept shooting questions to the already disoriented and muddled katherine.Katherine was visibly shivering, from the corner of her eyes she sighted Pascal in her brother's tre
ALPHA CASPIANThe seventeenth whip tore through her back and he winced internally. He had been counting to distract himself, his heart hard and unforgiving as ever but her hurt and scream were getting to him every second.“Ahaaaaaaaa… I’m so…. Sorr…. Ahaaaaaa!” she screamed loudly again as the next one hit her hard, Alpha Caspian had ordered his guards to keep hitting her until he was satisfied.Of course he wasn't satisfied with seeing other people touch his mate, let alone hurt her but his demon was out and nobody could stop him now, not even his mother.“You slut! I will teach you how to stay in your place, have been soooo lenient with you, how dare you go out at midnight to the club! Without my knowledge!!” he barked again at her, his eyes never leaving her bloody and injured body. Grinda knelt beside her friend, wailing bitterly as she held her dangling legs and comforted her, as a gift to his best friend and Beta he didn't punish Grinda himself, instead he left that to him to d
