Ellie's POV I rose from sleep feeling sour and dejected. I feel so weak. I turned around and found no one in the room. I wonder where she went to this early. I felt nervous for a reason. Today is D-Day. I walked into the bathroom to freshen up. Minutes later, I came out prepared to set myself. I opened my wardrobe and looked for the perfect fittest cloth to wear on this special day. I smiled when my eyes landed on a short red fitting gown. Helena had bought a special dress and shoe for this occasion. I slipped into the dress, it extended to my knee and hugged my body bringing out my hourly figure eight shape. Ava wasn't back when I was done dressing. I wondered where she could have gone when the door creaked open. Talking about the devil, she walked in with a tray of food and snacks on top of it. "I was wondering where you went". I said to relieve her load by carrying the tray to the bed. "Awwn… you are worried about me". She said, I chuckled out loud. "And what's all these f
"Ava Doreen". He called and she went happily. I was called next and handed over the golden medal. He helped me wear it and the students cheered louder. "Is there anyone to take pictures with you?" she asked. That was when it dawned on me that I have no one. My eyes searched around for Hassie but she was difficult to find or maybe she didn't come. My eyes ran over Brian and I saw him standing up, with Casmien. Oh, no… They ambled to the stage and stood beside me. The principal eyes beam. He gave me a handshake and we took a shot. Casmien tried holding me on my waist but I shook it off. The students were still clapping. I turned towards Casmien and immediately his phone beeped. He took out his phone and checked the content of the messages before turning to me. He smirked and walked towards me "make sure you retire at my wing". He said lowly and left the stage. He signaled to his guards and they followed him out. "What did he say to you?" Brian asked immediately as Casmien left.
"Come down for dinner, Ellie". Helena's voice boomed through the door. She should have just sent a maid to call me instead of going through the stress herself. "Okay, I will be there". I replied wearing my slippers. Finally, homemade food. I'm settling well at Helena's wing and I love it here. I love how orderly and set it is. I got to the dining room and saw different kinds of dishes. "Wow". I rushed to sit down and dug in right away. "Easy Ellie. The food isn't running away". Helena said laughing. I grinned embarrassedly. We were supposed to eat together as a family but Helena insisted on eating separately. If Alpha Peter was around, he wouldn't have accepted eating separately. Dinner and breakfast is what brings the family together and Alpha Peter cherishes that. "I'm glad you agreed to stay here. So, for now, you should eat at my wing". "Hmmm.. I understand". I mumbled through a mouth full of food. "And stay away from Casmien. I don't know what he's planning now". I n
"Ellie, you have to get up. It's morning already. Are you gonna sleep the whole day?" I turned around and got up reluctantly. "Good morning Helena". I greeted. "Morning dear. Did you enjoy your sleep?" "I haven't had this good sleep for some months now". "I thought so". She replied smiling. She really loves smiling. "I bought you food. Go freshen up". She said leaving the room. I stretched and proceeded inside the bathroom to get my business done. "I'm going to see Brian". I announced to Helena before stepping out of her wing. I walked straight to Brian's room and knocked for hours but no answer. Where did he go? And I wanted to spend some time with him since I'm bored. "He went out not too long ago, Miss". A maid said. "Ohh, thanks. Do you have an idea of where he went to". "No. Sorry". She said and left. I walked down the stairs and walked out of the manor. I'm really bored. I want to chit chat with someone. Now, I'm missing Ava. If she was here, she would have fille
I drove into the manor and got down from the car sluggishly. I walked towards Helena's wing when I heard someone call me bitch. I looked up and saw Kelly with her face patched up. Wow… I really did something. I smiled at my work. I'm really proud of myself. My training didn't go to waste. "I'm pretty good with my hand and I hope to disfigure more soon". I screamed back at her. She stomped off angrily. "Time waster". I hate her. If it weren't because of her, I wouldn't have gone out of the manor. I wouldn't have gone to the park. She caused everything. She annoys me I grunted as I dropped on the dining chair. Brian? What has he done to me? My thoughts are all messed up. How dare he? I banged the table angrily and rested my head on the table. I'm not always this aggressive so why am I like this? Is it the pregnancy? My anger is messed up. I'm short tempered now. "Do you need anything, Miss?" A maid rushed in and asked hurriedly. "I'm hungry. Please get me some food". She nodded
"The date has been set for you and Brian's marriage ceremony and it will be announced soon". Helena said happily. "I'm really happy. When you two get married, finally he's going to sustain his position as the Alpha of the southern crescent pack. Casmien would back off". I smiled at her. She's really happy. Even though she's Brian's step mother, she cares for him like her son. "Yea, I'm glad that I will finally be with him". Yes, it's better with him than with Casmien. Brian won't treat me bad like Casmien because he's not like Casmien, he's not him. "Hope Casmien hasn't been disturbing you? I heard him asking for you from one of our maids". "Really. Why was he asking for me?" "Just be cautious of him. I'm sure he wouldn't want this marriage to work". "Helena, he already promised not to fight the territory with Brian again. He can't do anything". "I have a bad feeling about this. Casmien may not want the territory but I think he just wants to own you". I scoffed at her
Casmien's POV I paced around the room restlessly as I thought about the wedding. They can't get married. I can't watch her get married to Brian. I don't love her but I want her with me or do I? Do I love her? I've been more attracted to her these days. Now, hearing that she's getting married to Brian makes me restless. The door creaked open and Kelly walked in. "Ahh… I'm tired". She said stretching. "You should get some rest". "Yea, I will". She replied laying down on the bed. "The manor is full of workers going up and down just for their wedding. I just want her out of my sight". She said while I ignored her. "Your stepmother is a handful too. I hope to get free from her. I hate her and she does too. She wants me to be a respectful daughter in-law. She loves Ellie so much. And that bitch is just pretending. I'm sure when she gets herself back, she will show her true colors''. "I can't believe she tried to disfigure my face. She even threatened to beat me more next time. I
Brian's POV "How are the preparations going?" "We've sent invitations to Alpha's of seven packs and they are attending". Helena said. Finally, she will be mine and I will be able to secure my territory ". "Brian". "Yes". I replied, turning to face her. "Are you getting married to Ellie to secure your territory or because you want and love her?" She asked. I stared at her for some minutes before giving her a reply. "Both. I love her and I really want to secure my territory ". I answered honestly. She smiled and placed her hands on my cheek. "That's what I love about you. Your sincerity". She held my hands tightly. "Either of the two reasons, please take care of her. She's fragile". "I will". "Good. I have some things to do. Your father is coming today". She said as she walked away. I'm not really ecstatic about my father's arrival to the Manor. I would really love to move out of this place after my wedding. Ellie getting married to me would be one of the happiest th
Ellie's POV Finally, the end of my third trimester is here and I'm set to give birth. I didn't go for a scan, I wanted the sex of my baby to be a surprise, but now the doctor is telling me I'll be giving birth to triplets. Is this really true? I ask myself, then I call Hassie into the theater I'm taken into. She follows the three nurses that are taking me in, I can't give birth without her being present. She is my best friend everywhere. When I asked her about Casmien, at the time labor came upon me, Casmien had a meeting with the Prince of Dubai, Prince Abdullah who traveled all the way from Dubai down here to see him for some inter-national relationship, there is an ally to be formed between both countries. Hassie later placed a call on him, about forty minutes ago and according to what she reported to me, he will be cutting the meeting short so that he would come be with me inside the theater. Few minutes later, the door of the theater opens and he walks in. At first I though
Casmien's POV The highly expected day is here. Today I'll be getting the goal I've fought towards for years although it's on the grounds of my brother's death, I wished he was alive. It's quite confusing because this wouldn't be happening if he was alive but I'm just glad my dreams have come true finally and sad that the brother I've come to value and cherish more upon his death is no more. I still need to be happy for what is gonna come my way today. I woke up as early as 3 AM to finish personal stuff, including my early morning work-outs which I can't ever miss. The ceremony will begin at 8 AM on the dot and whatever we want to do, we gat to start right early. I left my wife, Ellie to wake up at 5 AM because she is pregnant and doesn't have lot to do other than to take her bath, no exercises for today, she feels too lazy today to do that and I couldn't succeed in convincing her because she is over-enthusiastic about her new position, about the ceremony in general. Right now as I'
Mary's POV "I'm sorry for shouting at you," I whine my body and eyes, smiling. "So glad to have you, I've got to respect you same way you respect me." I grab him sideways, looking up at him with admiration. He smiles at me, then he parts his lips, about to say something to me, I observe that Peter is looking expectantly. "I want you to respect my dad, the same way you respect me.", Though it's a serious instruction, he puts in a very casual way that wouldn't hurt me."I know that Alpha Peter didn't treat her well but she just can't treat him anyhow. He's an elder statesman in these packs, as he ruled both the Northern and Southern." I imagine him saying inside of him. "But he is not my dad?" I reply in a very bold way that sends electric shock through Casmien's whole body as I feel him shriek. This girl is very bold! I'll be bold in any case that has to do with Alpha Peter because he didn't behave like a grown-up, a responsible adult but rather an asshole. Where in the world has
Casmien's POV I've begun making preparations to reinstate Ellie back to her position, I take the money I had sent to her to start the purchase of luxurious houses, far better than the ones she possessed which I seized from her. I told her to rest and not worry herself, I'm going to do everything she thought of doing. I'm the one that placed her in such condition and I need to be the one to redeem her. There are about eight estates for me to make purchase of. After this, I'm going right into her foundation. There, I'll call her to come, she will look into the reinstatement of all those that had been sacked, she has their contacts and would call back those that haven't gotten any job back to the work. Everything is done at around 1 PM in the afternoon, being the Alpha entails that I have all I want in the least possible time and under the best quality. Getting these houses weren't so difficult for me, in fact they were the simplest things. I will retire back to my chambers, then tom
Ellie's POV My heart is filled with so much suspense as he talks of this. I observe as his face becomes a little serious, as if he wants to make a serious request. "What's that?" I ask. "You aren't supposed to be wasting much time in saying it out." I jokingly say, with a grin on my lips. "Let's leave that one at first," his face develops into a funny mood. I thought he was serious, never thought he could play like this. He was always acting serious with me before now, it's only Brian that used to play with me, I think he's now copying him perfectly. "How is our Installation ceremony gonna look like, you know I'll be officially made Alpha of both the Northern and Southern Crescent Packs.""It's gonna be great. I think we should keep these two packs united, there has been much rivalry between these two for many decades now especially when the successors are twins or triplets." "Okay, since you say they should continue to be unified, what will happen in the case of multiple births?
Casmien's POV Since my brother died to a crash, and his recovered remains are seventy percent ashes, I have decided to give him a private burial where only respected family members, great Alphas from other packs, eight closest to us, then some high officials of the two packs would attend. It will be a private ceremony because it's not oen to the public. I wouldn't be inviting more than twenty-eight persons, so I have to count carefully while making my invitations. We, the entire family would organize an outstanding memorial ceremony for him, where we will invite a while lot of people, people who would love to attend his burial. This memorial wouldn't be until its a year, it's going to take place in the coming week, I just got to start planning effectively. I would be giving him the type of ceremony his spirit would be satisfied in this memorial. I walk over to the prepared graveside which is located at the midst of the left and right wing which is the part of the estate which we oc
Ellie's POV I didn't expect what Casmien did at all, he really surprised me with our imagination. In fact it turned out to be more of surprises, both good and bad. I didn't just expect any of the things that happened there. As I return to the pack estate, I'm just saddled with so much sadness. Casmien went after being called by hisom, Helena along the way, he will be coming right here later. Someone should tell me that Brian's death is a dream and he is going to come back! I had believed it there at the TV studio but right now, I don't want to believe it. I feel it's a dream I woke up to remember. I wonder if people know about this or we are the first set of people to know. Could it be that this is what Helena called Casmien to ask. Tears stream so hot and fast from my eyes, I fall on the bed, taking my hands to my head in frustration. "Oh God, any did you let this happen?" I wonder why God always let things that will really hurt us happen, there is nothing that has happened befor
Ellie's POV **Two days later**Casmien was as good as his words, not only did he pack the belongings of Naki, the gate guard and that of Kelly, throwing them out of his estate, he sent them to jail. This was kind of an advantage to me because I'll be the only hmwoman in his life now, I'll be having no rival and Kelly is in prison on an indefinite term, it wasn't stated as she didn't have trials. It's only the Alpha who can have someone sent to jail on an indefinite term. A little bit of happiness sets into me but I'm still waiting for the news about the search result of Brian. Then a surprise call from Casmien, how did I know it was a surprise. My wolf gave me the instinct that it will be a good one! "Hello," I say in a polite tone upon picking it, hoping to hear what Casmien has to say. The silence lingers for up to a few seconds, I know that he is on the phone but for whatever reasons he is refusing to speak up. After a while, he opens up. "Ellie, I'm so sorry for what I'd done
Ellie's POV Few days after Brian's travel, I haven't been able to contact him. After it reached the night of the day he traveled and I couldn't contact him, I reached out to Hassie and mom, and an alarm was raised. If he was alright, he would be picking his calls. The Air Control and Tracking Agency, who are responsible for tracking of airplanes and helicopters who have took off are alerted. I didbt expect Casmien to be concerned in this matter but he shows even greater concern with a sign of sympathy on his face. Because of this, the Installation Ceremony is postponed to a latter date. Everyone is eager to know what has happened, my heart here knows no rest, it's as if one part of it is gone. A very bad feeling.I had been the only one who knew that Brian traveled, so now he couldn't be reached, I had to alert everyone and search for him has begun. At this point, I'm on the sad phase of life, with nothing to keep me happy. I remember him promising to communicate with me regularly.
