"Do you trust me?" He asked, leaving her speechless. She blinked twice when he didn't take his eyes away from her, and immediately she became calm."I do."He nodded, "Then believe in my judgement. I won't let those who hurt her go scot free."Lilith heaved in a more relaxing way, smiling. "Thank you." She had thought he believed in the devil, when it was clear Elsa was the mastermind.She turned to leave, but he held her waist from behind. It was such a wonderful moment as they were both smiling and at the same time moving sideways.When the door opened, she rushed out of his arms clearing her throat in an absorbent manner. "I'll take my leave now Alpha." She said when she looked back, it was Red.Lucien almost gave him a death glare for spoiling such a moment. Once he understood the reason for the look, he didn't utter a word and just turned to walk back out using the door."I should be on my way now, I need to look after Bella." Lilith said. He nodded his head and watched her till
Two days later…Bella ran into dargak arms close to the water bank leaving the young man shocked. He tried freeing himself from her encircled grip, but she wasn't letting so either. His heart, soul and body were practically dancing so well."I made you worried." Bella said, and immediately dargak scoffed. Well, she didn't bother getting angry at him."I shouldn't have done that to you, ignore you Bella but it wasn't easy hiding the feelings…" Bella could have gone on and on but in embarrassment, he covered her mouth with his palm. "Shhh, how did you hear that?, I thought you were unconscious." He asked.Bella giggled. "But not deaf. I could hear you loud and clear but I couldn't open my eyes to say the same to you. Glad you finally decided not to hide those feelings anymore."He smiled and pulled her into his own hug. "I won't let anyone hurt you anymore." He said, and Bella smiled in the hug loving and cherishing every moment of it.***Baski walked into the Alpha's quarter wearing
Bella thought she had heard Lilith wrong when she mentioned the Alpha's name. "Something so strong?" She questioned, with a doubtful look on her face."I have no other choice Bella, if it is truly in the hands of Elsa, then we need to get it back before she knows about its power." Lilith replied.Bella still had the doubtful look on her face. "I have to put my trust in him, Bella, and believe he wouldn't betray me. After all, he's a good man only scarred by his past." Lilith didn't wait for Bella to utter another word, she walked away and Bella still followed behind her.As soon as Lilith reached the royal quarter, age went straight for the Alpha's throne room.He was there, sitting with some scrolls in his front, and a bored look. "Alpha." Lilith greeted, lowering her head in respect. He raised his head to look up at her and smiled."I need to talk to you." He stood up from his throne and walked towards her. "What is it?" Lilith first of all swallowed hard recalling Bella's word,
Once the man hiding in her room came out, Elsa relaxed back on the bed."Get everything ready, and miss the target. It should only come as a warning to them." Elsa continued, while the person with her paid rapt attention.She walked closer to him and dusted nothing on his cloth, "Do a great job and get back to me as soon as possible, but make sure you don't get caught" He nodded his head and turned to leave, but she held him back. "If you get caught, kill yourself on the spot. Do it for me." She still didn't let him go, but planted a soft kiss on his forehead. She could see fear in his eyes, but truthfully who wouldn't be scared of what she had asked to be done.Sally was gone, and Sally was the only bold person she knew could do anything without disappointment. The more she recalled Sally, the more she wanted whatever she had planned done in just a day. After Dargak, Ryder was next to being the strongest warrior Lucien had and could put his trust in. He was tall, dark skinned, lon
"Stop running princess" Bella continued yelling from behind running after her. "It doesn't seem to me like you hurt your knees, you're as perfect as you could ever be running happily." Bella continued, but Lilith didn't stop.Today she was happy, happy that she finally gets to stay by the side of the ones she loves so dearly.Bella had heaved countless times, had halted to breathe countless times, had almost fallen countless times, but Lilith did none."So strong for someone who was tucked in bed yesterday." Bella yelled."I have faster healing abilities Bella, don't you know that?" Lilith yelled back.Bella scoffed, "Happy for you then."Once they were there, Lilith found her people all waiting for her arrival in the field. It seemed like they were no getting better, no more sours, wounds and they weren't looking like the hungry wolves Lucien made them look before and she didn't notice this back when she went to the dungeon."Nana." Lilith called and ran into her embrace."My child."
Red found his legs taking him to the water bank, he folded his arms and crossed his legs sitting on a rock close to the river. His mind was far away as he stared at the the calm river. He needed to be this calm, and not worry about what his wolf was gradually turning him into.Red wasn't a strong wolf, he was one easily intimidated by almost everyone in the palace including the lady he had eyes for. No one saw him as someone with worth, except the Alpha.He took out Lilith's pendant and in his despair and sadness, the pendant began glowing. It felt like it was actually telling him something, or rather showing him something he needed know.He tucked it back into the little sack and tied it round his waist again. He was practically all alone, with no one even bothered about him for the last few days.His mind suddenly went to what he had seen yesterday, the man who had fired an arrow towards the alpha and Lilith. It didn't for once cross his mind to utter anything about it to Lucien, an
Ryder came into Lucien's throne room and immediately lowered his head to greet the elders and the Alpha.Once Lucien understood he had news, he dismissed his elders and sat upright to listen to what Ryder had found out."I still haven't found out the real culprit behind the arrow alpha, but give me a little more time." Ryder said. He was still trying to hide the fast pacing of his heart.Lucien was way too occupied to notice the strange look he gave, or the rate at which his heart was beating. "Alright, for now, stand back and do nothing. This time, I won't sit back again and watch." He assured Ryder. He gestured with his hands for the young warrior to walk out.As Ryder reached the door, he met with Dargak on his way. He didn't want to turn back, or even stare at Dargak, but as always, Dargak was always the suspicious one."Just how often do you see princess Elsa?" Dargak asked, making the young man turn by force to stare at him."And how is that any business of yours Dargak, mind y
Still running, Bella found Lilith and went over to stop her. "Princess." She called, and when Lilith heard her, she halted. Still breathing hard as a result of the shock, Lilith almost went on her knees when she saw Bella. "Oh Bella." She called and rushed into her warm embrace."What happened princess, are you okay?" She asked, with a worried voice, gently rubbing her hair."No Bella, no, I'm not okay Bella, something's happening to my pendant and I can feel it. Something bad is coming Bella." "Shhhh, princess, calm down." Bella cut in when Lilith wouldn't stop talking."Escort me, I need to go see the Alpha, now please." Bella nodded her head and began following Lilith towards the Alpha's quarter. Once they were at the entrance, she halted and rasped a knock against the door."Come on princess, I'll be waiting for you outside." Bella said, immediately she gave a knock at the door.As she turned to leave, the door opened revealing Dargak. She paused, staring at him with a smile."
As soon as he broke the door opened, he walked in to meet the lifeless body of the one he was desperately looking for.She was gone, but he felt the energy of someone so powerful. Too bad he could not follow the flowery scent of the child as well.That instant, he snapped his fingers together and their bodies immediately caught flames.Just like that, Red walked out of the building. He would wait, and one day find Lilith's little angel.ONE YEAR LATER…"Nathan seems to be just like his father, the Alpha." Elsa said, carrying her little boy in her hands.Just then, a servant walked in carrying Asher in her hands."My queen, he seems to can't stop crying." She said worriedly."He misses Mommy. Bring him over here." Elsa said, and then took Asher who was more like her into her arms.She had given birth to twins for Red who later became the strongest Alpha months ago, and was now living the life she thought she always deserved.To Elsa, it felt like even the wicked do go scott free, but s
Lilith felt a very sharp pain pierce through her chest, and immediately she woke up before a heart wrenching scream was torn from her lips.She held her chest, squeezing it tight, and her second hand was on her stomach. Her loud scream woke everyone up immediately, and they all rushed towards her most especially Bella who got to her first."Princess." Bella called being more worried, while also trying to calm Lilith down."He's gone. He's gone." Lilith didn't stop mentioning this word, but only Baski understood her words, and what she was actually trying to say.Baski shut her eyes, and let her tears fall freely, and so did Lilith. She couldn't believe he was actually gone even when the moon goddess had shown her so earlier.Lilith wouldn't stop shaking, and it was beginning to scare Bella and Dargak."Do something mother." She said,Just immediately, Lilith's eyes turned golden Yellow, and when Bella touched her body, it was burning hot. She took her hands away, stepping backwards fr
Elsa didn't sleep. She was still fully awake expecting Red's presence any moment as she sat on her bed. Her legs were shaking in fear, but nevertheless, she was really trying to control her fear.As soon as the door was forcefully pushed open, her heart jerked a little, but she shut her eyes to control and hide her fear."Where's she?" She heard his cold voice immediately he stepped in,She remained seated, trying hard not to let his hoarse voice intimidate him."What are you talking about?" She asked, trying as much as possible not to think about anything, or let her fear control her mind for he could read mind.He waited, trying to read her mind, and smell her fear, but there was nothing. He really wanted to blame someone because of his anger, but her innocence was actually making him believe she really wasn't the one.Deciding to try again, he started taking steps closer to her, but she was fast enough to realize what he wanted to do.She remained calm, hoping the silent intimidati
Bella found herself out of the long dark tunnel after a long walk of about 20 minutes. She came out with dusty hair, clothes, and body.Recalling Elsa's words, she started running. The long road to the Silver noon pack wasn't clear, as the paths she took at every turn seemed to be tricky, but that didn't stop her from walking.Heading towards an unknown destination, she fell down after stepping on a thorny dried leaf. A light wince escaped her lips, and when she thought about the Alfanso pack, she wondered if her absence would have been noticed by Red already.Dusting the pain off, she continued, taking every paths that her mind gave the green light. An hour later, Bella thought she wouldn't make it back, or that she would be lost forever until she heard a familiar voice.Hiding just to be certain, she could hear the sounds of horses tapping their feet on the soil.That manly, familiar and heartwarming voice came again, and it immediately dawned on Bella that she had guessed right.It
Morning…Alfanso pack…Elsa sat beside her father, while Red stood at the entrance of the throne room awaiting the alpha's next words.When Alpha Jagger saw a slight reason in what he said before, he cleared his throat."Good. It's good we teach the spoiled brat how to behave." He said.Elsa immediately smiled when she heard her father speak, and when her contact met with that of Red, it was immediately replaced with a deep frown.Red on the other hand couldn't be happier, he lowered his head in respect before speaking,"I'll go get the warriors ready for battle Alpha." He said, and when alpha Jagger nodded, walked away.Elsa watched him walk away, but before he finally exited the door, she called the attention of her father."Excuse me father." She said, rising up on her feet. Once he nodded, she walked out and hurried to go meet Red."What are you thinking?" Elsa asked, walking side by side with him."Nothing." He replied, with a hoarse voice.She nodded her head, but wasn't willing
"Kill her." He heard her voice, mixed with jealousy, and hatred. Then, he looked up at her, and gave her a dreadful look. "Touch even a strand of her hair, and I won't fail to have you killed immediately." He threatened. His cold words made her take steps backwards, then she bit her lower lips as she stared at Bella. "Come in." She said, and then started walking back into the palace. Red carried Bella in his arms in a bridal style and then trailed behind Elsa. Once they got into a room, they halted. "She can stay here. But, don't expect me to be nice." She said, with a frown, and then immediately walked out of the room shutting the door with force as she exited. At the entrance of the door, Elsa stood, letting the tears in her eyes fall freely. To her, it felt like it was literally the first time she was crying over a man. The door opened, and Red stepped out of the room to meet her. She immediately wiped clean the tears on her face and turn to walk away but he held her back.
Lilith constantly kept pacing around the room for hours, and every second she would look through the window. Disappointment, a heavy sigh would escape her lips before sitting back on the bed.This continued happening till she couldn't take it anymore. She was more than worried about Bella who went out of the room early morning to go pick some flowers.Lilith had wanted to go look for her earlier, but she couldn't leave the room, as it would mean disobeying the alpha and having Bella punished.She wore fluffy slippers and walked out of the room, covering herself with a cloak.It was around evening, but Lilith thought of going to Baski's quarter first.When she arrived, she rasped a knock at the door, and a minute later, the door opened revealing Baski with tired and swollen eyes.Lilith walked in immediately, looking around for any trace of Bella, but she was again disappointed."Did you set eyes on Bella today?" She asked, turning back to stare at Baski."No child. She should be with
Dargak immediately rushed towards the training field, and when he sighted the Alpha, he rushed to him."Alpha." He called."Speak Dargak." Lucien replied, watching his warriors effortlessly train in their best ways.The shadow pack has announced war with us, and for no good reason. Alpha Damon says it's as a result of a long term grudge.Lucien scoffed, "Some guts he has now." And said, still leaving his hands behind his back."When the time comes, you'll escort princess Lilith, Baski and Bella out of the palace and to a safer place." Lucien commanded.Dargak fell on his knees once he heard that. "I wish for no other thing that to fight side by side with you Alpha." He replied."This is a command, Dargak." Lucien replied immediately, and then walked away towards another corner of the room.It was obviously the first time he would go to a war without Dargak by his side, but he wanted him safe and sound, especially to be there for his child as a strong man if anything were to happen to
"Revolt against the Alpha." Came Elsa's voice when she was being asked what to do by an elder.They had all gathered late that night.During this conversation, Red stepped in the next minute."And he'll be your new Alpha." They all cocked their heads to stare at the direction she had pointed to them.Red stepped out of them dark, making his figure visible to them.A loud gasp escaped their lips when they all saw him. "A lowly beta?" Two questioned at the same time.Red remained still. He wasn't angered by their words because they knew absolutely nothing about him."He's not that weakling anymore." Elsa said."He's of low blood, and absolutely not royalty." An elder said.Red tightened his fist, trying so hard to control his anger, but the moment he heard another word, he rushed towards the spot, and grabbed him by the neck."Don't you dare call me a weakling." He yelled, angrily turning his eyes green.Fear immediately became evident in their eyes, and each and every one took a step
