"Octavia!" Vanessa yelled my name the instant she entered our mansion.
She hasn’t changed a bit, the same crazy girl.
She landed in my arms, hugging me like crazy. It took us an hour to finish catching up with each other.
The dinner too was one crazy thing as Vanessa wouldn't shut up speaking about who got mated to whom from school.
"I would search for hours for all the Octavia on the internet," she whispered, watching the stars with me. We were watching the sky together and lying on the roof on a mattress like all the time.
"There is no proper internet for you when you are a rogue. We don't make social media accounts and all," I told her, remembering my life as a rogue.
"You know there were nights when I would go to bed and before waking up, I would expect to open my eyes in my own bedroom. So when I finally woke up in my bed today after years, I couldn't believe it for a moment," it was nice talking to her.
She told me how she
Vanessa’s POV:One Day Ago:I have heard that Octavia has returned to the pack. I wished I could go and meet her once, to ask her why didn’t she come to my house with her baby, why leave the pack?I could have taken care of the baby and her myself but sadly, she had decided to leave. I don’t really blame her because her stepmother and half-sister are not worse than devils, they must have done something to force her into leaving.“People are so disrespectful towards her,” my father had just arrived home, hearing gossip from around about Octavia.“I want to zip their mouths and tell them to mind their own business,” I retorted, fixing the table in front of my father for lunch.“There is a good news about your friend,” My father helped me with the plates, setting the table with me.“What is it?” I inquired, watching mom come out of her room and sit down with us.&ld
Octavia’s POV:It was the day when I visit The Reckless Growlers Pack to invite them over for my coronation. I have heard some omegas talking about how Tessa never told her daughter about my arrival just so that she can keep her from all the worries.'We will be fine' Icy said when she found me standing in the mirror and getting ready wearing black jeans and a white shirt with a black coat to top it with.'I hope so, " I replied, taking a deep breath and kept staring at my face. No matter how many compliments I get from them, I cannot forget the fact that I am an empty woman now. My daughter was snatched away from me. The emptiness in my eyes had been subsiding my beauty.The door busted open and in came Vanessa, all ready and prepared, wearing a black skirt with a white long top. She had taken the job of the Royal beta very well.I didn’t have to worry too much about so much stuff because she was always helping me with
As the shock took over them, Roxanne stepped ahead to express her disappointment with her father’s decision of bringing me here."Why is she here?" she had a very big frown drawn over her forehead, blending it well with the clenching of her jaw. I noticed Hope didn’t try to come for me, she only lowered her face as she was upset with me.“If she---,” before father could get a word in the edgewise, Roxanne took off her necklace and broke the pearls to shatter on the ground."Calm down," Alpha King Silas stepped ahead when he noticed she was disrespecting her father and an Alpha. He hugged her gently, calming her down while watching my face in disbelief. He must be blaming me for the differences between a father and a daughter.“It’s okay, I will leave,” I said, I wasn’t afraid of them or their taunts, I just didn’t like her misbehaving with dad because of me. But my steps were halted when my father held
“Before you stands the new Alpha of the Masked Pride pack. Today she is crowned with the title of the Alpha of the pack and she has sworn to keep the pack her priority and resolve the matters to her best ability,” my father gave his heartwarming speech whilst I stood beside him, ready to raise the toast.As expected, Roxanne had skipped the ceremony. Tessa had to come because she didn’t want Silas to think she discriminates between the two daughters. Sadly, Hope being too young couldn’t attend it either.I have seen Alpha King Silas stealing glances of me here and there and I assumed it was time that we have a little talk.“We all raise a toast and wish her well, may she live long and help this pack thrive,” My father raised a toast, and then it was time that the Alpha King puts the crown on my head.The crown for the Alphas was made of gold with red ruby in it, it was a beautiful one especially when I believe I was wor
“I believe now he will at least start questioning things or maybe find out about the truth,” Vanessa said as she sat down in her chair and took a sip of her coffee.We have worked really hard the entire day on this new deal, there was this new project that had caught my eye. The training center and a packhouse for the young ones where they will be trained and will learn everything that is required to become a border patrol or a Royal beta or Royal Gamma. There would be other posts like soldiers and guards, so it will be a whole package. Now previously Silas and his pack have expressed their desire to start that campaign in their pack but now that I was here, their biggest assistant, I have decided to steal the deal.Thanks to Silas for breaking the contract, now I get money from him and use it for this project. I couldn’t wait to watch the look on his face when he realizes he has lost the dream, that his dream has been snatched away from him.T
After I slapped her, she took Hope and left. My worries intensified when I realized there is a chance she might get her anger out on my daughter.Since I couldn't check up on her myself as it will ruin the entire purpose of my hard work, I called Vanessa."Hey!" She replied cheerfully from the other side."Nesa! I need you to do something for me," I told her without delaying. My heart was stuck in my throat ever since I saw Roxanne taking away Hope back home."Tell me," Vanessa replied,"Check up on Hope for me," As soon as I requested her in a desperate plea, she asked out of concern."Is everything alright? Did something happen?" she sounded worried, maybe she got it from the nervousness in my voice."Yeah! Roxanne had come over and we had a little - - - -" I paused, running a hand through my hair, "I slapped her," I finished, waiting for her response."Okay! That's what everybody's dream used to be back in highschool," she a
“Ehm!” I groaned, still trying to process why I was seeing him in my room at this time?“Octavia! Get a hold of yourself,” he let out a shout to further prove his presence.“Ugh!” I finally understood that he wasn’t a nightmare, “why the heck are you here? Who let you in?” I groaned, holding my hand to my head and trying to gather myself.“You are forgetting that I am an Alpha King, I am invited anywhere, especially to my father-in-law’s house,” he replied very stubbornly, placing his hands on his waist and watching my face.“What? don’t you fuc*ng start again. Everybody gets drunk once in a while,” I felt his quizzical eyes on me and it reminded me of how he had accused me of using drugs before.“But the night you chose is going to get us both in trouble,” he retorted very angrily but then swiftly forcing a smile onto his lips, “Octavia! Do
Soon after those words were spoken, Silas walked out of the mansion to take a stroll and I didn’t bother going after him.‘Why didn’t you try to clear things out with him?’ Icy asked, I knew she was confused why I didn’t attempt to bring all the things everybody did wring to me to light.‘Talk to him? He is one of them,’ I replied, drinking some lemon water.‘He got fooled too,’ she tried to defend him but he had so much that there is no way he could ever come out clean.‘Sure he did but not by me so he is not my problem. Just because he got fooled by them doesn’t mean I will forgive him. Everything would have been fine but after how he stole my daughter from me, I can never look him the same way,’ I retorted, recalling every painful moment of waking up in Desmond’s new mansion and acknowledging what they did to me.‘Then why not reject him?’ she brought up th
The after-party started right away but we had our own little fun planned. I saw Nessa walking behind Desmond, who was angrily trying to get away from her. The two stopped after she held his hand and stopped him from leaving.Silas, Rick, and I had followed them but didn’t come forward to announce our presence. They were standing near the trees to talk, while we stayed behind the bushes to wait for them.“I thought you said he was going to reject her?” he yelled at Nessa, not realizing he was outing himself.“I was wrong! But why does it seem like you are so mad about this?” she inquired, feeling confident once she noticed we were there to help us if he tries to do anything.“I am not mad; it is just--- I was worried for the poor girl the whole night. You got me worried for nothing,” he shouted once he couldn’t come up with an explanation to his behavior.“It doesn’t seem like that though,&
“Is Hope all dressed up?” I was standing in front of the mirror, watching the hairdresser set my hairstyle with a diamond crown on my head. My wedding dress was designed for royalty; it was a long white dress decorated with white gemstones for a Luna Queen. It was way heavier than I thought it would be, but it was all fine. At least better than wearing a mask like others. Vanessa was my bride’s maid and wearing a peach pink long gown, looking all elegant too.“Everything is ready. I will just have to go out and receive that as*hole,” as she mentioned Desmond, my mood changed. I didn’t want the wedding to be all about him but it was the one last war that I needed to win.“I am so sorry,” she instantly acknowledged what she has done but I don’t blame her. In fact, I have more to speak to her about.“Nessa! Can you bring Rick here?” I requested to see him after dismissing everybody else.&ldqu
“The question is where is he hiding and why?” Rick was the one to question since everybody else was just silently sitting around the phone and looking at his caller ID.We have called Silas home, who hadn’t sat down ever since he had found out about Desmond contacting Vanessa. He was breathing like a bull and walking back and forth around us.“Because I took everything back from him,” Silas muttered whilst not stopping. At this rate, he would have traveled the world even if he had taken breaks. He had been working up his poor feet like that would solve the problem.“When?” Rick inquired, stealing eyes from us because he knew even I wasn’t told anything about what happened to Desmond.“Okay!” Silas gave a little rest to his crazy walk and took a deep breath in to speak up, “after I made him rich, I attempted to contact him back again,” he finished as if he knew there will be some quest
It's been a few days and we were busy preparing for the wedding. Hope was the happiest one and so was I, Silas had proven to be a completely different person from the past.Tomorrow was the wedding and we were still busy sorting out office work, but at least we were trying. The masquerade wedding was Hope’s idea, she wanted to dress up like a princess and wear a mask just like the rest of the guests and pretend it to be a fairy tale. Silas and I would be the only ones to not wear a mask. I didn’t interrupt her because I was happy with whatever made her happy.He was the one helping me and Hope with everything. Rick has returned and taken his status as the Royal Beta of the pack.I would join the office with Silas every day to not be just a home at staying Luna Queen because I have spent years learning to fight so I couldn’t just throw it all away."I was working on these files about the borders when the whole insane Roxanne thing happene
Silas slowly walked towards the bench and sat down on the bench with me. His strong and refreshing scent hit my nostrils and I smiled a little. “What?” he politely asked, feeling awkward due to my reaction. I responded to him, I only shook my head and we both went silent for the next minute. "I can't believe you went through so much," Silas and I were sitting with our eyes stuck in space while my father and Rick were in the mansion. "It was all worth it, that nightmare helped me understand something," I lowered my face to focus on my fingers to distract myself from looking at him and melting right away before I could even say anything else. "Before going to that cabin, I didn't accept your marriage proposal because I held so much resentment towards you that I couldn't see past the truth," I started talking and spilling what I had been keeping in my heart for too long. The good thing was that he was silently listening to me without adding anyth
Tessa had stabbed her own daughter in haste when she thought she was attacking me. Everybody was now silent at the outcome of Roxanne’s jealousy of me."Roxanne!" Tessa's body shuddered when Roxanne collapsed on the floor without any delay.Silas wrapped his arm around me and covered Hope with his other arm as we watched Tessa get on net knees and cry like a wounded she-wolf.Hope was sobbing while not being able to pull away from me."My daughter!" she screamed, holding her daughter's dead body in her lap and shedding tears. Now she understood what it is like to see someone you love so much in pain?“Roxanne! Wake up. I didn’t mean to,” she was bawling her eyes and screaming, her voice was going to haunt us forever.“Hope! Look at me,” I got on my knees to cup Hope’s face in my hands, “we will leave now, okay?” I wanted to take her out of here so that she doesn’t have to listen to
“Octavia!” Silas smiled while I expected him to be mad at me, to yell at me. I bet Roxanne had shown him the video and probably made it seem like I have run away from him but he still smiled in contentment.“Silas!” after so many years of suffering and accusing each other either under the control of some stupid blue rose or by misconception, saying his name didn’t only contain tears in my eyes but also love for him.“My Octavia!” he corrected himself and my heart skipped a beat, everything turned blurry while his image stayed bright in my view.I can only thank the nightmare to make me forget the past and move on, I was desperate to accept Silas and get accepted by him. our moment of reunion was interrupted once I acknowledged the person behind him was equally shocked to see me.“Rick!” Silas looked shocked and it definitely took him a moment to recognize him.“You are back!” Roxanne
“So do you remember losing from me,” I smirked weakly because I don’t even know what she was capable of. I watched her show her face and I realized I wasn’t wrong.She was probably in her 50s but looked way older than her real age because of all the animosity she had carried in herself throughout the years.“And I was right! You do have all the qualities of your mother. Beautiful, smart, and a bi***!” she grunted, appearing in front of us with her lips blaring hate. The light stuck in her hand was now tossed to the side without any concern of anything catching fire.She was wearing a black dress and holding a silver knife in her hand. I know she had come to either shove us back in there or just finish us.“You wasted your years to get back to my mother and this was your master plan?” I scoffed to annoy her, getting a rise out of your enemy helps you in distracting them. Anger and rage do not work for everyon
“You call it a mistake?” I closed my eyes to calm my nerves down. Rick’s gentle touch around my wrist helped me hold my emotions in for now.“That was all her fault, she was being too reluctant to someone who truly loved her,” Mavi raised her voice in defense of her son, she was the reason her son never understood the fine line between right and wrong.“He forced himself on her out of rage after she passed out. Instead of being understanding of his frustration, she told Abel about it and cried a river to make my son look like a monster. She didn’t even think twice that her friend made a mistake and oh! She shouldn’t have drank anything if she was such a pure soul. That stupid bond they shared made Abel to give the power of punishment to the hands of Martha, who asked my son for an open battle without any powers. She fu*king killed my son because her ego was too big,” she finished and I urged to throw up. There
