Enzo stared at the boy before him, not sure if he should laugh or cry. He has been sick and worried he shared some kind of romantic relationship with Luna while he had been her brother all this while. ‘’Brother?’’ Enzo asked once again to be sure. He did not want to make a mistake, he wanted to hear it again to have it sink deep within him. ‘’Yes brother, what are you thinking?’’ Shane asked, not happy with the surprised look on Enzo's face. ‘’You didn't think we were…’’ Shane could not finish his words. Of Course, the look on Enzo’s face was enough to let him know that was exactly what he had been thinking. ‘’Of Course not’’ Enzo stands up walking away from the bed. He was relieved and was sure Chase would feel the same way once he got to know him. He had seen the worry on his face as he watched her cry over him like he was the most precious jewel she owned. He was even more happy they shared a sibling relationship. Enzo was aware it was only foster siblings but he felt good abo
It was certain no one had told Minister Margaret what Emma was capable of. ‘’And who would stop me?’’ minister Margaret retorted. Emma was more than happy and welcoming to the idea of having fun. ‘’It seems the minister of war wants to have her ego crushed and trampled but since it is a wish of yours I have no obligations against it. I will let you have him and I will even let you keep him if you can pass me’’ Emma meant every word she said and Chase who just arrived from behind could tell their mate was at it again. He had slept off and had not noticed when she left. Beta Enzo and Shane had been the ones to come get him. ‘’What are you all standing and doing nothing?’’ the thundering voice of Granny Reeker came through the crowd. Servants had all stopped what they were doing very much eager to see the fight between the war minister and the newly found princess. Everyone was certain and all gave their support to Minister Margaret for she was the minister of war and was yet to lo
Everyone was quick to bow but not the ministers. They all hissed and walked away. Granny Reeker could only watch. She knew talking or forcing them would end up in a rather complex situation for the people. ‘’Is this how it's going to be?’’ Enzo asked, frustrated by the attitude. ‘’It will get better, '' Granny Reeker replied. They were subjects and at some point had to give in. She was not worried about the ministers but more about Emandra. Something was not right with emandra, she was suddenly fierce and petty. ‘’We should get inside, the witch's council is about to start and you are expected to attend’’ emandra walked out of the arena with Chase and the others. ‘’Why aren't you saying anything?’’ Enzo whispers to the hearing of Shane who seems to be avoiding Emandra. ‘’What would you have me say? Granny Reeker is here and she will take care of everything. And aren't you supposed to be looking for someone?’’ Enzo stared at the child before him, not sure of what to do. Shane had
Stephanie stood high and mighty before everyone. She was certain the support she needed was what she would get. ‘’It is in your place to decide who gets to be queen or not. You may be a daughter but you're not born of a lycan blood and only one of them can be queen. Stephanie, you should know all this since you have been amongst us for a very long time”’ Granny Reeker speaks out, standing from her seat and walking down towards Stephanie and Emandra who looked distrustful. ‘’It is your place to take the seat of your father while we search for him. A lycan can only be crowned alongside his or her mate and that can only be you and Alpha Chase ’’ Emandra could no longer hold herself. She collapses into the arms of Chase as she sobs even harder. She had no idea Daliah was her mother and she had been the reason she was no more. Í wish I could turn the hands of time Chase, I want to hold her. You know I pushed her away from me when she tried to help.’’ Emandra’s words were breaking even
Both Emandra and Chase did not see the big deal in naming the Shadows but it was clear everyone thought otherwise of it. ‘’What rule are you talking about?’’ Emandra asked, pulling away from Chase but staying close enough for him to have his hands around her hip. ‘’We shouldn't be talking about this now, why don't you two get some rest while the council deliberates on when you take over, and after that, we can trash out this issue’’ Granny announced but no one moved an inch. ‘’Granny, I need to know. They are my mate and part of me, we won't be leaving here if everything is not cleared out’’ Emandra was truthful to her words. She stood her ground and everyone was grateful for that for they all wanted nothing but for Emandra to be tossed out alongside her mate. ‘’The throne has been empty for too long. We only have an heir and not two, hence Princess Emandra will be taking the place of her mother while her half-sister who has been trained and groomed to take the place of her mother
While Emandra was ordered by the doctor to get more rest, Granny Reeker and the others held a private meeting to discuss the pressing issue and it was finalized on the conclusion, Emandra would be crowned acting queen while her mate would only take the place of the king if the king happens to be death. The ministers did not budge on their decision, they were more than willing to compromise on the case of emandra but they were not on the case of Alpha Chase. The thought of having a werewolf rule them was a bitter pill they were not willing to swallow. Shane has been hanging around Granny Reeker all day, too afraid to move closer to Enzo. There was just something about the man that made his heart skip a beat and rise rapidly at his words and closeness. He could not seem to take his eyes or hands away from him, the closer he was to him the more he wanted to hold him. Have his hands in his hair and play with his cheeks. Such feelings were not easy to come by and Shane was away from tha
‘’Enzo and I will have to return to the pack. A rebellion is quickly rising and I have to be there”’ Chase tells emandra taking her hands into his. He knew for a fact she needed him but the people needed him as well. As alpha, it is his responsibility to take care of them and make sure they are safe. ‘’You can't leave me here all by myself’’ emandra cries into his arms. Too much was happening and she could not get her hands around it. While everyone regarded her as a nobody and unfit queen, she only had her mate to rely on. ‘’You can't leave her alone’’ Shane spoke from behind. Emandra turned to the little brother she missed so much. She had just had so much going on in her life recently that she barely spent time with him. ‘’Come here’’ emandra asked of Shane who obediently walked over to his sister. ‘’What happened Shane, why did you turn up here,’’ Emandra asked worriedly. It was not the time but these questions have long been overdue. ‘’Why aren't you home with Mother and t
The moon was still to give way to the sun when Sarah and the others were woken up by the screaming noise coming from within the pack house yet again. It has been going on for a while and no one dares say a word about it. While they usually start working by 5 am, recently they have only been called upon. Sarah says on their bed wondering what was happening, ever since the mysterious noise from the pack house, she hasn't gotten the time or called upon to visit Paris. Everyone knew the alpha did not want people around her hence he kept everyone away. ‘’What's going on Mara? Why do they scream every morning and we clean blood when we go to the pack house?’’ Sarah could not hide her curiosity anymore. She wanted to know if the new changes happening in the pack house were too quick. No time to adjust and another comes yet again. ‘’Sarah, have you heard of the saying, curiosity kills the cat?’’ Mara asked, rather annoyed. She was not best of friends with Sarah and she was not going to
Stephanie settled where she thought it would be even difficult to get anyone who knew her. It has been 5 years of rasing Kimberly all alone. Yes, she had settled on the name Kimberly for her baby girl. There were times she wished Mathew was still with them, most especially as Kim looked everything like her father. Curly hair, and blue eyes that capture the heart of everyone. But how could she wish to still go back to him after all these years? The more time went by the more she tried to hide. But everything was rather getting out of hand as Kimber was set on finding a new daddy for herself and a husband for mummy. Picking her up from school, as always she would pretend like she islost with her mother only waking a few feets away from her and set her with a man on blind dates. It has been a habit of hers from a very young age. Unlike other childen, she was no ordinary baby, as early as 3 she behaved and acted like 5 years olds in the human would. Stephanie was ready onse againt to g
Everyone was still in shock when Sofia went ahead to stab her mother. ‘’Why?’’ Mrs. Anderson asked trying to face her daughter, but she only pushed her hard to the ground. ‘’This is for all the lies you told me. All the times you watched me suffer and did nothing.’’ Sofia did not feel remorseful at all. ‘’It's time”’ everyone heard Brandon announce as they put on their masks. Sofia was too late to react as the medication they had prepared themself, came falling on her body. It was not about it falling but threatening it was the main objective. Laan and Laya hover all over the territory making sure no one is left. Victory was finally theirs, but it cost them so much. ‘’Long live the king… long live the queen”’ the lycans all began chanting while the other soldiers joined in. This is what he wanted, he wanted to be accepted, but at this point, it did not bring him joy. So much has happened and the death of Shane hurt more and more thinking of it. Enzo sat with the body of Shane i
‘’One down’’ Minister Francherster sent words across. Moon Crescent had not only won the battle but the war. ‘’What do we do now?’’ Kelis asked stepping out of his tent. The gammas were doing a total clean before the area turned into a decaying center. ‘’Find the vampire queen, the only tip I have is the dark hills’’ Beta Enzo replied. Mrs Anderson may be a born vampire, but she was not from a royal family. Just like her husband, she has been power desperate making her surround herself with only people with similar thinking as her. Henrietta had not been the first. The vampire army was not just an army to be controlled by any reason why they had not been the one to attack. As the view of Altera came fort, Alpha Ben, Sarah, Paris, and Enzo watched from a good distance as Sofia Anderson all dressed up and ready for war launched for the Red Valley. The death of Keeper only made it easier for them to gain acess to the lands. ‘’They are here’’ Alpha Chase tells everyone. The ground tre
A dress containing more gold than the min, emandra had to put up with the heavy royal golden veil, as she dragged it along with her to the throne. It was only a matter of minutes before she could finally get out of it. As she walked up to her throne, Grandmother Reeker, stood on the front with a proud smile. Years it has been as she dreams of her grandbaby taking over, here her dream has finally become a reality. ‘’No turning, butting, tweeting, swearing, cursing’’’ Emandra listened carefully. She was not sure she would be able to keep away from swearing but saying I do at the moment was more important. She could not wait to get out of her dress. ‘’I Emandra, hereby accept to be the queen of Altera. To rule with a just hand and mind, to put my people first, and the be an exemplary ruler for the sake of the people and the world. I do so swear to bring Altera to greater heights’’ The scepter of royal handed to her by her grandmother shined in the room indicating acceptance. ‘’I he
‘’What?’’ Emandra exclaimed as they all stared at each other, no one dared make a sound. “Shane, what is going on?’’ Emandra turned to her brother who looked like he had so much to say. “‘You won't believe this, but the enemy has been closer than we all knew it from the very start. The Andersons are mixed.’’ Chase and emandra stared at him, not sure what he was talking about. ‘’What are you saying?’’ Alpha Chase asked impatiently. ‘’Mr. Anderson has been married to a vampire all this while and their daughter Sofia Anderson is a ..’’ ‘’hybrid’’ Emandra completed his words. Enzo was listening, he did not know when the coffee mug left his hands, but the shattering sound was enough to wake up Paris from sleep. ‘’We are fucked’’ Enzo cursed. ‘’The great war is just within the horizon.”’ Shane whispers. Rushing to the dungeon, Alpha Chase walks in to meet their prisoners all seated drained and in pain. ‘’Alpha”’ the guards bow in respect. Unlike the others who were almost passed out,
Paris's hands went to her mouth as she tried hard not to scream. ‘’Miss’’ the guard held her, taking her out of the room. If only he had known the content of the box. Beta Enzo walks in just in time to see the guard take Paris outside. ‘’What's wrong?’’ he asked, stepping closer, but Paris was too frightened to talk. ‘’Beta, someone delivered a package’’ the guard tells him, pointing towards the direction of the smiling head. Enzo stood speechless at the sight before him. ‘’Wrapp it up, and bury it’’ he instructed before walking out and taking Paris out of the area. ‘’’ Who would do such a thing? Why will they send it to me?’’ Paris had a thousand questions going through her mind, but there was no answer. She was not on good terms with Ursula but it did not dispute the fact, she was the only mother she had known for a very long time. ‘’Seeing that the package was not sent to Luna Emandra or Shane proves whoever sent it is aware of your relationship with Ursula. Why don't we visi
In the shadows of the night, Ursula crept her way towards the borders, she had so much to do with so little time left in her hands. She was looking for nothing but an escape route. It was time for her to write her mistakes. So much was happening in her life right now that she was not comfortable with. ‘’Gotcha’’ she scrambled to her feets trying to gather herself. It was none other than Emand. ‘’What are you doing here?’’ Ursula asked glancing around. It was unlikely for Emand to be so far away from the mansion without anyone noticing her absence. Unlike the rest of them, she was the pet of the queen. Always seeking attention for relevance. Of Course, Ursula was aware of it, the reason why she had not shared her plans with her. ‘’Leaving without me?’’ Eman asked, visibly irritated. Ursula did not know how to defend herself. Yes, she was leaving and leaving without her. She had so much to take care of and one of it was warming her children. They might be only stepchildren to her but
‘’ It is time’’ a cold voice announced. Everyone in the room was well-armed and ready for war. ‘’We can't go just yet’’ a painting Ursula walked and ran into the room breathless. She looked nothing like the mate of Albert, the mistress of the Carter mansion who adorned herself with expensive perfume and jewelry. In rags and her hair all out she was barely recognizable. ‘’What is it this time around?’’’ the leader asked, sounding pissed. She has been waiting for this moment for the longest time and now that I am finally here a maid of hers was standing in her way. She had zero tolerance for declaring. ‘’They were caught, they were jailed’’ Ursula replied painting. ‘’What?... how can they be so foolish to allow themselves to be caught? Why do I always have to take care of everything personally?’’ Ursula did not say more. She steps out of the building. She could smell the disgusting stench coming from her body, if only she was allowed to bathe as much as she wanted like in the Carter
Loud gasps echoed all over the ceremonial ground. Every eye was on the ministers as they all stood guiltily. Minister Freda wanted so much to scream and tell the world she had no hand in the sudden demise of the king but were her words enough? Their actions and guilty looks had long condemned them. ‘’What? cat got your tongues? I did tell you yesterday, that it takes two to tangle. You wanted to play chess and I am that opponent who chose you”’ laya stood over the ministers with a wicked grin. ‘’’ Letting you go will be the worst mistake, hence I will be personally in charge of overseeing your death, but that will only have to take place when the queen and king have been crowned.’’ Laya turned to the guards who had long stepped away from the king. They now understood the side they had to arrest, the group of murderers stood not blinking. Not one of them said a word. The more they try to bring up arguments of the innocents the more their minds fail them. ‘’I was only asked to drop
