The ride to the event center came to an end as fast as it began, Ellie came down from the car and Loris came to meet her, Loris was putting on a floral gown that pulled at her feet hiding her shoes, the gown was sleeveless and backless exposing her back and shoulder, she adored her neck with silver pearls and glitters earrings with a little makeup, while Ellie was putting on a red short pencil gown with feathers adoring the neckline covering her shoulders and neck a golden bracelet on her wrist, her grey hair in a bun, with little makeup, she waved Loris goodbye while Lucas followed her in. A hostess greeted them and left them to the high table and their allocated seat. Ellie could feel the stares at her, and she wondered if the news about her postponed marriage has gone viral.
The event coordinator took the stand and picked the microphone she was from Azure pack “Welcome everyone, welcome to the 11th Full Moon Feast, it is nice to have you a
When Ellie woke up this morning she didn’t plan her death, she never imagined her death would come this way and the Alpha of the Crimson pack would be the one to end her life. She has not even done a lot of things, like playing in the rain, wearing her mother’s clothes, try to grow a mustache, get a pet and the list goes on like that. Why does life have to be this unfair?She stared at the person meaning to kill her and she was a little bit comforted, she would be killed by a handsome manic rude Alpha. He was just watching her without saying a word.“You won’t benefit anything from killing me” She finally said, trying to negotiate for her life, as usual, he only raised an eyebrow, meaning she should elaborate her statement, she was learning how to communicate with him.“I can be useful to you, plus if you kill me, there would be a war between your pack and m
Ellie ran into a wall which turned out to be that of her mate, she equally landed on her butt, the ground was not also fair to her. She groaned rubbing her forehead. Today was not going her way at all, first her broken up marriage, the humiliation, her mate almost rejecting her, a fight with her wolf and now she has landed herself on the ground, annoying her already annoyed mate.“Why do you stop suddenly?” She whined at him“You should have been watching where you are going instead of screaming at your wolf” Came his reply.“Whatever” She helped herself up and dust the dirt off her dress“With this, you won’t be getting to the event center on time and I’m sure some reasonable persons would have been worried about you”Ellie groaned, why was he always right? She knew her beta and best friend w
Ellie woke up the next morning feeling tired, she knew she had a lot to do, she checked her bedside clock, it was almost four, time for training. She dragged herself out of the bed to her closet to change to her training outfit, she packed her hair in a high ponytail, wash her face and mouth before leaving her room, she took the fastest route to the training center. Pack members were greeting her as she walked pass, she answered some, some she waved at. She went to collapse on the training mat when she got to the center.“Didn’t feel like getting up right?” A voice asked above herEllie opened one eyes to look up at the speaker “Andy”“Hello Alpha” Andy bowedEllie sat upright “You look good”Andy raised an eyebrow at Ellie “My mate tells me so, is the rumor true then?”
Ellie was restless through out the week, after Ezra's Beta left that day she had been wandering around the house watching her back. She jumped at any sound. Her friends were proud of her for standing up for herself, her mother also crushed her in a hug, telling her she did well, if her mate wants her, he should come for her himself. The problem now is, does he really want her? This question kept bothering her mind, she slept less, ate less and kept staring in space.“Did you hear what I said?” Andy asked“Wh..what?” Ellie turned to AndyThey were both facing the trainers early Monday morning, Andy must have been talking to her, Ellie rubbed her face and saw Andy giving her a concerned look.“Are you okay?” Andy asked“I’m fine” Ellie said“You have been looking lost for da
They got to the Crimson pack two hours later, Ellie wondered why they didn’t take the route that would lead them to the Crimson pack quickly since their Alpha claimed that their packs are closer than they think.Ellie must acknowledge that the pack was in order, the house were lined up in good order, the roads well kept, the streets were well planned. She marveled at the parks for entertainment.“Are you seeing what I’m seeing?” She mind linked Loris“Yes I am, I’m so surprised at it all, I must say your mate is smart and calculating” Loris replied“I’m envious right now”“You don’t have to be, you are part of the pack now, you are their Luna”“Well, you are right” Ellie agreed nodding forgetting Loris would not be able to see her&ldqu
Ezra watched his mate take in a deep breath, inhaling him in, she wasn’t planning it he could tell, her fearful eyes were shocked, and then her wolf took over. She leaned closer to him, she was short compared to him, she only met his chest, his little Luna.“I’m Helen” Helen introduced“Nice to meet you Helen” Ezra said, running his hands up to her face and traced her lips “My wolf is called Beast”“Suits you just fine”Ezra saw the fight within her, Ellie was fighting her wolf for dominion and she finally won, it took her two seconds to pull away from him.“Don…don't you touch me again” She pointed and accusing finger to him “Nothing between us is real”“I never said it was” Ezra shrugged and could tell she hated it “Don’t put too
Ellie watched as Hattie used the dagger to cut open Ezra palm, she felt like hurting Hattie in return, choking her to death, she did not even noticed that Ezra was watching her all the while she was planning on how she would murder Hattie. But she did noticed that a glass was given to Hattie, she collected Ezra's blood in the glass, before he started healing, she raised the cup to her lips and Ellie felt angry thinking she was going to drink it.Ezra hid a smile his mate thoughts were running at different angles, really? A smile? He concentrated on Hattie.Hattie instead blew air into the glass and the glass turned to a wood cup, Ellie was shocked, finally the last piece to complete the puzzle. Hattie was a witch! She then walked in a straight pattern from left to right, dropping the substance in the cup a little at some certain spot, she did that for several times then stepped back raising her hands to the sky, she chanted some words.

Who could have thought Ottio was from the Gray pack? And to even think that the pack, Alpha Asher pack kidnapped Ella and they were waiting and getting ready for a battle? What was he thinking of? Was the other pack joining force with his pack? Was that why he wanted a battle?“So that was your pack?” Lucas asked Ottio“Yes”“Anf what was your position in the pack before you went rogue?” Emmett asked OttioOttio stared at him while he answered “The former Alpha son” He said“What?” Dora asked “You were the son of Alpha Wills?”“Yes, and Asher is my brother” Ottio said“That is hard to believe, we never heard of you nor see you anywhere around while growing up” Loris said, clearly not believing a word coming from Otti
Ella picked a gown and placed it on her body to see if it would fit her, she dropped it instantly with the killer look Loris was giving to her, no touching of goods that Emmett bought for her.“Do I look like a doctor now?” Loris smiled at Ella playfully“Oh! Come on”“Did you eat something that upset your stomach?”“Not that I can think of” Ella said, looking around the room for something she can eat, the room almost looked bared of food but Ella trust Loris, she must have something somewhere, Ella took a deep breath to fish out the hidden food and her sense of smell led her to the table beside the window and she saw a wrapped package, with the smell Ella knee it was a sandwich, she took it and unwrapped it, she took a bite and swallowed looking at Loris's direction, Loris knew it was helped to fight for her pr
Ella rushed outside and made her way to the yard that was located beside the cells. She met Dora on her way and without word after greetings they made their way to the yard together. Ella hoped nothing was amiss just yet. Ottio was seated in a chair his two hands chained to the chair he was sitting in, his waist were bruised and have different painful colors. He looked around and saw the lady she kidnapped, she saw the witch also, she was standing beside someone he knew to be a Beta who was standing protectively beside her and he got the message already. Mate! He saw Joan that looks like she will passed out anytime she was held back by two other ladies. He looked at Alpha Ezra who looked cruel, the Alpha visited his cell that morning with his mate's phones and play a recorded call for him to identify the caller. But he was silent and did not answer the Alpha's question. It was like they were going to kill him but there numbes was not complete because Alpha Ella was not
Joan sighed and turned to the others to hear from them also “So what do you guys think?” “I don’t really go with the plan of releasing him, I don’t think I can stand being in a room with him, or what do you plan to do with him after releasing him?’ Ella asked “Well, if you guys will accept him, and Alpha Ella will allow, I would love for him to join the pack” Joan said The room went quiet and they all tried to comprehend what Joan just said, it was Tina that reacted first, she hissed, her expression deadly, Joan looked at Ella she looked dumbfounded, Sophia looked shocked, Loris's mouth was still hanging wide opened while Alpha Ellie didn’t look bothered, it was just as she was expecting. “You must be out of your mind!” “Are you crazy?” “What the hell?” Tina, Ella and Sophia reacted the same time, Joan jumped to her feet at alert, in case she needs to make a run for it. “Calm down you lot” Joan yelled to be heard “Okay, I don’t want him dead!” “So you want a rogue to live amon
Ellie leaned closer to him, her face serious as she responded to what he said, she had to really hold herself in to be frank and yet sincere she had just few minutes here with him and she gave other things that needs her attention but she won’t tell him that, she checked her wristwatch then looked up at him. “How do we trust you? You are a rogue that kidnapped members of their pack, treated them badly, having plans of rapping them to produce pubs from them for your small pack” She paused “Why should they forgive you and set you loose? Isn’t that suicidal?” Ottio knew she was being mean on purpose but it was making him annoyed “I wanted to take revenge, no one should be happy when others are suffering for what was not their fault, and been lied to” Her said “Who lied to you?” She asked He went silent “If you really need my help you will open your mouth and talk to me” She made it known to him rudely “Will you really help me?” He asked “I will not tell you things now and never wak
Before Ellie could say a word the line went dead, she looked up frustrated at her mate, and he banged his fist on the table in anger, he stood up and turned his back on her. She knew he was still angry with her and she does not know how to calm him down. She have no idea of what to even say to him, so she kept quiet and walked to the bed to have her seat. Ezra started pacing the floor, his wolf was getting worked up and the atmosphere in the room was getting tensed. He finally turned on her.“You should have kept him on the line long enough for me to track his call” He told her“It does not look like he would have waited for that long evening if I kept talking, he controls the conversation” She said with a shake of her head“You could have kept him talking, you are a lady for Pete’s sake” He said“What do you me
Ellie bought herself back to the present, she gave Lilly a tug towards her as the child was feeling sleepy already “So how are you Crystal?” She asked making Lilly comfortable on her laps.“I am fine, thank you” Crystal said as she folded her arms on her chest, she sat and rest her back at the back of her chair.Ellie nodded and faced Lucas “We need to talk later, maybe tomorrow after the training, I have to go back to the Crimson pack this night” She told Lucas and he nodded in acknowledgement.Ellie stood up with Lilly deeply asleep now in her arms “Inform Gift about our departure when she comes around, I will retire now”“Yes Alpha” Lucas bowed his head a little“Leaving already?” Asked Loris as she walked in, followed by Dora and Gift from the direction of the kit
Ellie tucked the child in covering her with the blanket. She opened the book and started reading, few minutes into the first chapter, Lilly fell asleep fast, Ellie smiled at the child, she gave her forehead a kiss and made sure she was comfortable in bed.Ellie stood up and closed the book, she returned it to the table then went to take her own bath, she relaxed, allowing the water to calm her down. Her head was cooled off. She dried herself and went to the closet, she arranged the few things belonging to Lilly beside her side of the closet, she then picked her night wearing and packed her hair up in a ponytail before joining Lilly in bed, she turned off the light but left the bedside lamp, she felt Lilly turning in bed, the child drew closer to her and settled down in deep sleep.The next morning, Ellie woke up on time to get ready for the day, she went to the bathroom to do her daily routine, from
Ellie must say she was not expecting a friendly well come from any of the Crimson pack members. But Madam Jane just proved her wrong now, she felt at peace with the older lady. Jane was waiting for her response Ellie realized. So she won’t seems rude, she had to say something.“Thanks… thank you” Ellie said and her stomach took that time to growl like an animal, Ellie blushed in embarrassment while Jane only laughed.“Why don’t we ate?” Jane asked as she pulled Ellie further into the kitchen and to a similar table “I have some cakes here, Ezra, honey, go bring her something to drink” Jane was quick commanding and she was not someone you can say no to easily, you need to have a strong heart to reject her if necessary.“You look skinny girl, you have not been eating properly” Jane commented, she cut the cake and ser
