Everyone was watching as the shadows hovered around, they were too scared to utter even as as soon possible. ‘’You should call these things back, Emandra, you can't use them to keep us quiet’’ Minister Freda roared angrily. She was not in favor of a werewolf taking over as king. Indeed the king was back but having Alpha Chase around was an assurance that he would be king sooner or later. That was something none of them was willing to accept, while the king was still strong and healthy, they had to deal with it. ‘’It is not in my power to control them. As ministers of Altera aren't you aware the shadows go to the mate after the mating ceremony is complete? It seems you have some updates to take care of Minister Freda. Laya and Laan and not in my place to control and I think the earlier you address them properly be as fast as you can get them off your back. ‘’ emandra was not going to hide it, the ministers were aware but not the rest of the kingdom. ‘’She completed the mating cere
Ever since the shadows announce the death, Emandra has not been able to sleep with both eyes closed. She knew deep down it was going to be someone close to her but she could not pinpoint who it was and the shadows won't answer. Shane too did not know and she could tell something was stopping him from seeing it deliberately. ‘’Can't sleep again?’’ Alpha Chase asked wrapping a blanket around her. ‘’Yeah,’’ Emandra replied sadly. It has been like this ever since they announce someone was going to die. ‘’Why don't you talk to them, just maybe they will give in to you’’ Emandra asked Alpha Chase. She could not wait for it to happen. ‘’You know they like you more and they always listen to you’’ she added. Yes, they did like him more, but now it was out of his hands. No matter how much he tried to convince the shadows to tell him who the next victim of death was, they simply would not say a word. While Laan looked like she was ready to spill the beans, the murderous look from Laya was e
‘’How can he just die? He was fine a while ago, why is he dead?’’ emandra screamed so loudly the frequency of her voice was affecting the building. ‘’Father.. Please open your eyes, you can't leave just yet”’ Emandra shook King Kenrick but he was not responsive. His body was ice cold which was rather strange as it had been only minutes since his breath seized. Alpha chase stepped forward pulling emandra from the king as he examined the dead body. White foams could be spotted in his mouth, a black substance making its way out of his ears. ‘’Who prepared his drink?’’ alpha chase asked calmly. Something was wrong and while he did the camping, Shane and Grandmother Reeker helped in keeping Emandra in check. She was in such a terrible state.’I asked who prepared the drink?’’ Alpha Chase roared this time around, not holding back his anger. He was not in the mood for petty games. It was clear the king was murdered and the evidence was still in her goblet. ‘’I won't ask the third time,
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
‘’ 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
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
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
‘’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,
