Chase walked into the pack house heading straight for Emandra’s room. For someone who has been trapped underwater for as long as she was, she was so warm, all thanks to Laan for keeping them from drowning. Chase felt happy he was not going to punish Sofia, but leaving it to Laan was a better punishment. She had the backing of her father and her father had that of the council, carrying the punishment out personally would not only put the pack at risk but also lead to the withdrawal of the Anderson amenities. He had wealth, however, it would never be enough in the face of a war they could not predict how long it would last. ‘’Are you leaving everything to Laan?’’ Enzo asked, stepping out of the bathroom with a warm towel. He had changed her into dry and more comfortable clothes. Her hair was still dripped with water. ‘’Well, I can tell it would be best if she handles her. I do not want to give the Andersons the impression I favor Emandra over Sofia and punishing her personally would
The screams from Sofia were all that could be heard; her body was covered in bruises. Her father sat in rage as he watched his daughter being beaten by the shadows. Not they were not beating her, they were playing with her. Just like a cat toy with a mouse, the shadows toyed with Sofia's body giving no chance for her to seek help from her wolf. Her wolf would be no match to them, they might as well just command her to do the beating on herself but what fun would that be? ‘’How can you all sit calmly and watch as she kills my daughter, she is the future. Isn't it the duty of the pack to protect Luna and Alpha on first instincts? Mr Anderson roared. ‘’Chase was not ready to face him, no one could stop the shadows. He knew better than forcing his will on them in such a state. ‘’Mr. Anderson, your daughter beat, tide and a pack member beneath the depths of the northern lake to drown, as if that was not enough, she made sure to cover her mouth so if the water didn't kill her suffocatio
No one got any good sleep through the night. The antagonizing painful screams from Sofia were enough to keep everyone on their feet and awake. Her wounds were healing but painfully, Enzo watched from a corner as the doctor tried all he could to calm her yet to no avail. They had done something to her, the beating was not the punishment. Unlike they all had thought, the beatings were not the punishment, hearing was and it was far more painful. ‘’Please make it stop, I don't want to heal but make it go away’’ Sofia pleaded as she cried out in pain. She could not stop her healing. Using silver or wolfsbane would slow it down but at the end of the day, a werewolf's body is built to heal. Her sweaty hands held on tight to the bed far, her claws digging into the hard word without an ounce of difficulty. ‘’My body is burning, I feel so cold. Why does it feel like we are by the lake? She asked a thousand questions at once. She was totally out of it, the pain was the only thing controlling
‘’Calling an emergency meeting when the pack is under threat, that I don't take as good ethics’’ Chase hissed in annoyance taking his seat. They were elders all right, but he could not keep up with them and their outrageous demands. The elders all glance at each other picking who is to raise the topic. ‘’If you all would stop fidgeting then we might as well begin or I should leave since it doesn't seem to be important.’’ he was in a foul mood. Just the sight of Sofia irritated him. ‘’Alpha, we may be at the front of war, but you would need a luna to be able to win this war.’’ Mr Anderson answered. Of Course, they were all silent as usual, how could he expect anything less from minds that have been bought over? ‘’Mr Anderson, as promised I will marry your daughter, I will give her statues of a luna. She will run this pack along with me isn't that the bargain we made?’’ Chase was not in for cat and mouse chase. ‘’Indeed Alpha, it was the initial agreement but we all watched the cur
Chase was fast on his feet running right behind Enzo as he escaped his life. Haze looked nothing like his usual self. Enzo was having a hard time keeping a good distance and he fell numerous times. ‘’We have to shift Enzo, give me control’’ his wolf fought for control. Enzo shifts very slowly and painfully. He had never had to shift while so distracted. Part of him wanted to stop and reason out things with his friend but the look in his eyes was very far from friendly. Enzo ran into the forest now keeping good space between the both of them after his complete shift. He had nowhere to run, they ran all over the forest each panting but not giving up. ‘’Head for the east border, with the help of the gammas we can stand a chance to beat him up’’ his wolf did not like the idea of them beating their alpha p but it was a good plan for the moment. Enzo could not think of a better plan. Chase had murder instinct and the further he was away from the town the better. ‘’Come on beta, that's a
The wedding preparations were in full swing, and everyone in the pack had a duty to play. Chase walks into Emandra’s room, closing the door behind him. She was still yet to wake up, every doctor had confirmed her long sleep to be stressful and while Haze and Emma chatted from time to time, he was sure there was nothing to worry about. Her powers were too much for her body, the shadows had not anticipated realizing so much power on her before the official meeting ceremony. His night chats with Emma were very fruitful, he could never want to miss out as she answered every question of theirs and talked about themselves. It was something like dating, he was getting to know her through her wolf. ‘’Our mating ceremony can not be held off much longer, once she wakes up we should do the needful’’ Haze tells him. Emma had mentioned something of such. The powers within him had submitted to Haze, his thirst for blood was very much still there, however, it was not as strong as it had been th
Chase quickly tore away himself from the venue. ‘’Everyone should head for safety. Gammas take care of the children and pregnant women. Enzo came with me’’ his voice was thundering. As people scrambled and searched for safety, Stephanie had to pull Sofia away towards the pack entrance. The gates were shut as soon as Chase and Enzo ran out to meet up with the others on the eastern borders. ‘’I told you they were coming’’ Haze snapped at Enzo. While he set up precaution measures the previous night Enzo had not stopped taunting him of being paranoid and a pussy. ‘’Well, now I know you have foresight so hurry up, I want to see you unleash those fangs on them,’’ Enzo snapped. The borders reeked of rogues; the stench was too much bringing forth a wave of nausea. Enzo grabbed a plant forcing it into his nostril, I could not afford to be distracted and puke his guts out like a pregnant woman while on battlefield grounds. ‘’Why do they smell even worse than the last time?’’ he asked Haze
Lanterns and gifts lay on the door of every home of the moon crescent pack. It was a gift left out for Gamma. Mathew was in charge of gift collecting. Gift collecting was an old tradition, old as the beginning of time. With every victory, the pack members put out lanterns and wrapped presents which the warriors would pass by and collect. The present ranged from dried fruits to war supplies such as bandages and some medication. It was more of a way to support and thank the Gammas for their sacrifice and protection. With the celebration in full swing, everyone had long forgotten about the canceled wedding but one. Sofia could not bring herself to support the men or join the celebration. She felt so angered that the rogues had taken the only time which should have been all about her. Under the disguise of the night, clothed in a long black veil, Sofia escaped the pack borders heading towards the snowfall pack. A car prepared by her father was waiting and they hit the road. The ride w
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
