Rose's POV************So right now, we are in front of the entire pack who has been unable to shift. It was early in the morning. Samantha was still tied down with that spell bound rope."A lot of you think your Luna was the one who caused you to be unable to shift. Well, guess what. It was one of you." My mother yelled."I know you all must be thinking of who I am. I am your Luna's mother and I will not stand and watch you all paint her bad when she is not." She said and they looked at her with awe."Well, I guess you all must know that this lady here is a witch and the one who assisted the person to stop you all from shifting." She continued. My mother kicked her to start talking."The one who came to me for help was none other than Jacksonville." She said."He told me about the fact that he was not satisfied with the new Alpha and that he was the one who supposed to be in the position that he was and we came to an agreement."**A Month Later**"So tell me why I should follow you to the Alpha king's birthday?" Leticia asked for umpteenth time as she saw across the table with Leo."Because I said you are going with me." He said with his hands on my laps. She rolled her eyes and shrugged."You're going?" He asked."Not like I have a choice." She groaned and I chuckled low-key.Ever since we caught the scoundrel, everything was at peace. I even went to see my parents, well foster parents. They asked for my forgiveness and I just forgave them. Don't want them to be sulking up to me. After that, we also and when I say 'we', I meant Leo and I. We went to see Levi. He had also become the Alpha of his pack and he said that he searched for me all over the place when I went missing and apologized for his inconsistence. I introduced Leo to him as my mate and everything went fine. So tomorrow was the Alpha king's birthday and we were all invited. Well, mostly the Alphas and Lunas.
*Chapter One*[Rose's Birth]"Give her to me, Nessa." Simone asked with her breath harsh as she glared at her."Simone, don't make this hard for me. I have been given this mission and I am determined to complete it." Nessa retorted as she held unto the wailing newborn strongly. They stood opposite each other. It was quite dark. They could barely see each other but the little illumination from the moon helped them. Each of them standing at alert and defense."Nessa, for the last time, give the child to me." Simone said in a low dangerous voice, stretching out hands."Simone, your mother gave me this mission and I have never for once failed any mission that was given to me. Considering the fact that you are related to her, please go. Your mother told me that if anyone tries to stop me, I should eliminate the person without a second thought." She said menacingly. Nessa was known to be an a
*Chapter Two*"Kill. The. Child." Simone heard her mother spell it out to someone. She tried looking at who she was talking to but could not figure out who it was then suddenly she felt someone pass by her with an inhumane speed.'It is her.' She thought and casted some spell. She appeared in front of the lady and the lady came to an halt almost immediately."Simone, what are you doing out here?" Nessa asked with an arched eyebrow and defense stance."To collect the baby from you." Simone answered with a glare.Back to present:Simone scoffed."B-But you are about to kill a new born in cold blood. Look, I know you are an heartless assassin but killing a child..." Her voice softened for a moment."Won't affect me." Nessa completed with an emotionless face. She looked down at the wailing child and glanced at the moon whose light was dim. Simone
*Some years later*"So you said you will love to adopt her?" The matron asked politely as she went through the files."Yes. We will love too." The woman sounded so eager. Been unable to birth to a child could be so scathing and make someone impatient. The matron gazed at her skeptically with her glasses on her nose bridge.The husband on seeing this spoke up. "Erm... My wife is just too excited, that's why." He explained, forcing a smile and gripping her hands tight under the desk. She wriggled her hands away from his grasp and scoffed out. The matron glanced at her immediately as she heard the sound. The husband cleared his throat."So if I may ask, what is your name?" The matron inquired."Mr Lincoln Adams and my wife over here –" he pointed towards his wife. "– Is Mrs. Sophie Adams." He answered."How many years have you been married?" She asked aga
*Eight years later*************Rose's POV************If growing was a job, I would have chosen another profession. Each and everyday of my life, I spent it trying to satisfy my parents. No, scratch that. My mother. Trying to live up to their reputation.My father cared no less about me. Well, I don't blame him as he already showed it the day they had come to adopt me. All he does is go to work and come back home. Not like I have any problem with it. For as long as he is not yelling at me or comparing me to other kids in the pack. I am all good.I pushed the door of the bathroom open and stepped out. Since it's Thursday, I gotta be in school. I went towards my wardrobe and opened it. Looking through it, I saw just how buoyant my parents were but I can proudly say that I live in a cage. Well, what the kids at the orphanage said that time was sort of right. The regret that has alw
************Rose's POV************"How was your night?" He asked as his lips curled into a small smile."Fine and yours?" I replied with a smile also."Perfect." He answered and faced Hadley who did nothing but gulp nervously.Serves her right!"Hmmm... Good morning..." Hadley and her minions stuttered. I chuckled."What is good about the morning?" Levi asked and pressed my lips together to prevent myself from bursting out."Is it trying to bully a pack member or not going to class as early as you should?" He questioned with an harsh glare."Oh, I am sorry... I actually came to tell her about the end of the year party we will be having at Collins' place this Friday." She replied. I scrunched my eyebrows as I heard this.A party?!"Then you could have told her and left." Levi said. Hadley turned to look at me. "Expect
Chapter 6[What's going on]************Rose's POV************We soon got to the venue, Collins' apartment and we hopped out of Levi's car. Music was already booming everywhere. "Wow, such a party mood," Levi remarked. I nodded my head in agreement, anticipating the fun.I could notice that Levi hesitated before walking towards the door. Just as we were about to enter, he grabbed me by my hand and I turned towards him with a confused look."Stay close to me." He said and I nodded. We headed inside and other students from the school were already there. I looked around searching for a quiet place to sit. Not a fan of drinking and dancing like a maniac. Levi's words rang in my head again and breathed.I waddled through the crowd and went to sit at a corner. "Oh, see. Who's here?" I heard Hadley yell over the music. I shifted uncomfortably on the seat and looked around for Levi."Hi," I said nonchalantly, looking at the set of
CHAPTER SEVEN************Rose's POV************What is wrong with me?Levi looked at me and pulled me into a hug. A moan escaped my lips and I clamped my lips shut. Levi pulled away and stared at me with his eyes narrowed on me."What was that?" He asked. I swallowed hard and sweat beads dripped down my forehead. The purse in my hands fell down and I curled my hands into a fist.I also don't know what is going on.What is this burning sensation between my thighs?Then he came towards me. Just as he touched me, I melted in his hands and pulled him closer. Then slowly, ever slowly, our lips intertwined and we started kissing.Clothes tore, sounds made and the next thing was that I felt him on top of me on the bare floor.I was a moaning mess as I felt his tongue, lashing every where on my skin. I could not feel me. I could not feel myself.All I wanted was to be filled up. Yes, in my sexual organ. What's happening t
**A Month Later**"So tell me why I should follow you to the Alpha king's birthday?" Leticia asked for umpteenth time as she saw across the table with Leo."Because I said you are going with me."

************Rose's POV************"So after putting such a bold and dramatic front before Leo, you are here sulking?" My mother asked me as she placed the cup of water before me. I grunted and sipped a little."Mom, you don't understand. Ever since I came back, I don't understand a thing at all. Where I was taken to? What they did to me? How I was handled? I know nothing at all. And now the pack is struck with some stupid disease or what should it be called?" I said with a look of sadness."Whosever might have taken you cleared your memory and I will love you to relax so that I make a portion and try to remember some spells to track the witch." She said and went into the room. Well, they now stay in the cave, not actually a cave, but it was built like one. And the environment is serene enough and it is quite conducive especially for them since they wanted to be away from other people."Rose," Leo's voice said in my head, making me jerk."Leo?" I
***********Leo's POV***********"Alpha, Alpha!!!" A voice yelled in my head. I jerked up instantly. And why do I get the feeling that this day is replaying again?"We have a complaint." The voice said again."And what is it this time?" I groaned and facepalmed."The pack members are finding it hard to shift." The voice said and I looked up straight in shock."What do you mean by that?" I asked him."I also don't know. Your attention is needed as bad as the situation is." He said before I blocked him. As I stood up to wear the pair of baggy joggers, Rose groaned next to me as she tossed to other side of the bed. I exhaled and tucked her properly under the bed sheet. She held me by my hand and a faint smile tugged at my lips as I removed her hands gently. As I walked towards the door and was about to open the door, her voice stopped me."Where to?" She asked and I paused. I turned towards her."Some urgent issues I need t
***********Leo's POV***********"Alpha, Alpha!!" The head of the pack patrols yelled at me with urgency through the mind link thereby interrupting the sleep Blake had forced me to have. I jerked up instantly and looked around for any threat."What?!" I groaned as I rubbed my eyes."We have found the Luna," The head of the pack patrols said and Leo looked up immediately. Jeff moved uncomfortably as he heard this."What did you say?" He asked again to be sure of what he asked."We have found the Luna but she is unconscious. We know you will be angry if you see us with her so it'll be better if you come to the southern part of the pack." He said and before he could finish. I already slipped out of the room and pack house. I ran in an inhumane speed as I sped through the thick bushes. I sniffed around as I drew near them. I then got to where they were. They stood surrounding her. Surrounding my lost mate. I growled so loud that they paved way
***********Rose's POV***********"You are a fool, don't you see what this lady is trying to do with you?" The feminine voice from earlier on ask in total exasperation. I slowly opened my eyes to see them standing chest to chest as they glared daggers at each other."You were ordering me?" He asked."I was not. I was only reminding you of the reason you kidnapped her and stop being close to her. She is trying to get to your head and as the stupid and gullible wolf that you are, you believed her and came to confront me. For someone who will love to overthrow their Alpha, you are quite a dummy." She said and he growled."Hey, don't growl on me when I am just stating the fact. The portion will be available tomorrow. Then we will return her in the next two days." The feminine voice said and sat down. I breathed out and they seemed to have notice because their heads turned to look at me. Jackson walked towards me with a smirk."You tried." He said wi
************Rose's POV************Murmurings. Some people were murmuring words to each other. My eyebrows furrowed at the fact that I was finding it hard to open my eyes. Why are my eyes closed?I squeezed my eyes shut and tried opening them. But it felt like they were forced to be closed. I tried moving my hands but it was tied down. I groaned out in pain. Whosoever must have tied my hands is crazy. It was too tight for my liking that I had to give up. I hissed out angrily and laid back.They must have noticed me because I heard boots clicking the floor as they walked towards me."You are awake finally," The masculine voice said. "Oops, your eyes is tied." The masculine voice said and remove the blind fold that was on my face. I squinted my eyes open. The place was quite dark and it lacked light but then crouching before me is a man I have never met."Who are you?" I asked and his lips pulled into a smirk."Who I am does
"So you guys decided to leave tomorrow?" Layla asked."Yes," Nora answered."I said I am not interested in ruling the coven. I don't want to be burdened. After all, I have my husband and my daughter. I don't want to be locked here." She said with a grimace.Layla walked towards her with a sincere smile."My mother should have been the one to take the throne instead of Athena. But she mysteriously died that night, so why are you trying to make me feel bad about taking the position?" Layla asked with scrutiny.Nora whose gaze was passive, her lips slowly curved into a smile and she laughed out."For your information, I remember how you got here. How you were forced to be queen. No, how you pretended to be queen. How you instigated the Alpha king against witches. Ohh, yeah, I know my mother was the one who did that ugly thing but you added more to it, right?" Nora said with a smile."Just keep ruling in peace. Everyone's got a dirty linen under
"Long time no see," Layla said and Nora rolled her eyes."The only time you ought to see me you were busy with your husband so tell me who ought to say that," she asked."And besides I am shocked that you are now the keeper of the coven, the Laura I knew was always running, no not running. Was always hiding and avoiding duties like plagues. Guess you had no option." Nora said."I would not have accepted the responsibility if you and your sister was sensible not to fall for the wolves and not to add giving birth to an abomination." She said with full spite.Nora smirked."What difference does your daughter serve too? I mean, your daughter is just like Simone." She said and no one could understand the war that these two was fighting. Laura broke the eye contact they were having and looked away."You should leave as soon as possible," Laura said and turned away."I never planned on staying in the bondage you call a coven," Nora said with a shrug
