Miall"Where are you guys going?" I asked Amanah as she held Amira and Auri's hands.They were dressed in matching pink sun dresses, and Amanah wore a cute hat while the twins rocked pink bow hairpins.My girls are beautiful!"We're going on a girl's date," Amanah said as she smiled. "We're just waiting on Maniah.""Alright, let me get my keys, and we'll go together," I said as I pointed to the kitchen, and the girls voiced their opinions."No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no," Auri shook her head as she waved her small hands."You stay right here," Amari warned as she pointed a finger at me."It's a girl's date, Dad," Maniah said as she passed me; unlike the three, she wore jeans and an oversized hoodie."What are you wearing?" Her mother asked as she took in her attire. "I thought we agreed on wearing sun dresses?""No, the three of you agreed on wearing pink clothes, and I agreed to come along," Maniah shrugged as she raised her book.Amanah pouted and rolled her eyes."Teenagers," s
I wiped the counter despite my annoyance with my job today. On all the days this bar could be full, it chose today—it wasn’t even by my regular, well-mannered customers. It was a bunch of college kids, and all they could do was make noise and spill their drinks all over my counter. My counter!“You should plaster a smile on that face, Amanah,” I stared at my boss, Frank, annoyed. He laughed as he flipped the cocktail shaker in the air and caught it with his right hand behind his back. Psshh, show off. “You might murder someone.”“Yeah, and that might be you,” I snapped, and he smiled as he poured the drink into the glass and winked at the girls who watched him. They swooned. A cocky smile grew on his clean face. Argh, it is so annoying!I was not used to seeing Frank without his beard; he didn’t look bad, but he looked so different. He almost looked...younger. I continued wiping the counter and looked outside, counting the hours to when I could finally return home.“Have you noticed th
“Where?” I whispered as I looked around my surroundings—where was I? There were people behind the woman who stood in front of me; they were seated as if they were part of a council of some sort.Oh no, am I about to be a sacrifice?“Nioz, my child,” she smiled, and my smile slowly grew as I stared at her. I chuckled and scratched my head.I was a sacrifice, wasn't I? She referred to me as 'child', and I sat in the middle of the room, half-naked with my breasts spilling over the top of my satin nightdress.“It’s either I am dead, or I am dreaming, because I don’t know who you are and where I am,” I said and she shook her head smiling.“You are in Nioz, a planet in a different realm than the one you’re from, Earth, I believe it is called,” she explained, and that had me convinced she was crazy. I laughed and clapped my hands.“Did Frank break into my apartment and take me into an asylum because I was seeing black butterflies?” I asked the woman.She was wearing a long red dress that reac
Miall“Don’t scare the girl, Miall. Show her around her new home,” my mother said, and Amanah still looked shocked at what she had heard. How did this happen?“Wait, will I really be pregnant for six months only?” she pulled on the jacket that was around her shoulders.“Well, for only five now, so your time is almost up,” I crossed my arms over my chest, and my mom slapped my head. “What did you do that for!” I yelped, and she ground her teeth together.“I said stop scaring the girl,” she said in a low voice, glaring at me.“Last I checked, I was the Alpha of this pack,” I grumbled, rubbing my head; it didn’t hurt, but it did sting. My mother raised her eyebrow at me and said,“Alpha to who?” That scary face was replaced with a kind smile as she looked at Amanah. “We don’t know for sure yet since this is the first time it’s happened in our pack.” “Oh,” she breathed, and a smirk grew on her face. “That would still be enough time for me either way,” she said. “I’ve heard that pregnancy
AmanahOnce I was sure Miall had left the house, I left that dry-ass room for his spacious one. I took a shower in his bathroom and graciously borrowed his shirt. Feeling clean and refreshed, I went to get something to eat from his kitchen. This was a massive mistake because I had no idea what all this was. His freezer was mainly stocked with red meat, but I had no idea what animal that came from or what any item in this fridge came from. Where's my guide when I need him?I certainly didn’t trust the milk because what fucking animal was this on the packaging? I opened up his cabinet drawers and found something I was sure was from Earth. He had all sorts of snacks that I wasn't very familiar with, but I still decided to eat them either way. I contemplated pouring a glass of water, but then again, the lake was purple. Perhaps that was the safest?I climbed up the stairs with my arms filled with snacks, kicked open his bedroom door, well, my new bedroom door and skipped to his bed after
I woke up alone in the bed, and as much as I hated to admit it, I kind of thought I’d find Miall next to me, but he wasn’t. Another one-night stand, how exciting.With a shrug, I got off the big bed and made my way downstairs after doing half of my hygiene morning routine. My first night in Nioz wasn't so bad, it was quite warm, to be honest, but it wasn't home.Perhaps I could ask Miall to help me make my stay much more comfortable; after all, I was pregnant with a child. AHHH! HOW COULD I FALL PREGNANT? On my way to asking Miall millions of questions, I heard talking. I was not a wolf or anything superb, but I did have good hearing, and I knew what sounded like a woman giggling in the kitchen. He sleeps with me and makes a woman laugh the next morning? What a smooth man.I slowly walked into the kitchen and none of them acknowledged my presence as they talked to each other with stupid smiles plastered on their faces. All giggly and hearty eyes, I don't like that. Miall was shirtless
I walked into the packhouse with Willow's hand in mine when I the laughter from the kitchen welcomed us. She's here. Entering the kitchen, I found my mother, Malakhi, and Amanah having a blast together, as if they had always been the closest.Amanah looked very different from when she left the house. She had changed into an oversized hoodie and a pair of tights. She sat beside Malakhi, facing my mother as she talked to them. Was she wearing Malakhi's hoodie? That wasn't the point, and I had been an ass to let her leave the house crying.“Oh, hi there,” my mother said sweetly, raising her mug to her lips.Shit. “I’m going to kill you,” she said through the mind link, and I smiled as I waved my hand. Of course, I'm in trouble again.“Hi, everyone,” I greeted softly, and it seemed my presence had turned the room grim. Amanah just stared at us before turning around to face my mother. “Hey,” Malakhi bit out and faced away as well. “Oh, come on, don’t tell me you’re mad too?” I asked him
“This is your place?” Malakhi asked as he looked around my small apartment. “It’s tiny,” he grimaced, and I threw a pillow at him.“Not all of us are friends with royalty,” I said, and Malakhi laughed. “Now help me pack,” I stood on my toes, trying to reach for my bag, but of course, with his help, I was easily handed my bag. He was handy.“Do you promise to show me around once we’re done?” He asked with a puppy dog look, and I rolled my eyes, pushing him away from me. Nyleve was right, this man was a sucker for Earth.“Only if you help me, which you are not doing,” I took out my clothes from the closet, and he chuckled as he helped me pack up some stuff. Malakhi was a pretty funny person, or wolf, should I say. After he found me crying outside, which was very dramatic, he took me to the Pack House, where Nyleve lived. She was kind enough to give me her hoodie and pants.While we sat together, they made me feel better after the whole shit show with Miall and his girlfriend, whose na
