Hi guys, thank you for spending your time, energy and money on this book. It means a lot to me ❤️ Happy reading
Aurora"You should mind your business and stay within your limits becau....""Ralph," I touched his arm and he paused.Ralph was already scolding the woman but I stopped him."Hello there," I tried to sit upright to get a better view of the woman and my suspicions were confirmed. It was the same Zendaya that had been lying not too far from me, she dropped her eyes to her knotted hands the minute our eyes met and bowed her head in submission. "I'm sorry Luna, I'm sorry Alph—""I'm not your Alpha." Ralph snapped at her again and I couldn't understand what was making him so irritated. "Ralph you don't have to be so mean to her,""I don't know why you are interested in what she has to say, we don't know her." His nose flared and he fumed."I feel like I do, arghh" I argued with Ralph and it made my heard hurt. He was quick to craddle me in his arms."It's fine, I'll hear her out but you need to calm down and not stress. I'm sorry I raised my voice at you." He eyed Zendaya like she was t
Aurora"Answer the question," I insisted but Zendaya only looked down on her knotted hands.I knew there was something about her that drew me in all the while but I couldn't quite place it."Have you gone mute all of a sudden?" Keston snapped at her as irritated as Ralph was earlier. One similarity between Ralph and Keston was their impatience when querying outsiders, they never liked to be kept waiting or guessing. "Speak!" Keston insisted when she nodded."Relax Keston, you're scaring her. It's alright Zendaya we would continue the discussion later." I assured her but she didn't seem pleased."You said you knew a herb that could—""Please don't send me away from here. Please, I have nowhere to go. They'll kill me for betraying them." Zendaya fell on her knees and touched my feet with her forehead as she spoke without breathing.Keston and I were quite taken aback by her display and we exchanged glances."What are you saying? You need to speak slowly so we can hear you." I held her
Aurora I sat back down on the bed and they released Zendaya. In half a breath she threw herself in my arms and sobbed."Thank you so much, you have returned the favour I did you just now but please don't let them send me away. They hate our kind and you know this."Zendaya rambled on and I understood her pain."No one will do any such thing to you, you'll stay here with me." I hugged her tight but I knew better.Ralph had agreed to let her stay till she fully recovered but I felt a stronger connection to her and I wanted to keep her safe permanently. I knew it was going to be a herculean task to convince Ralph to let her stay but I was going to try and use all tools available to me to make him see reasons with me.My mind was set on that course and I was going to see through to my success."You should rest a bit." I encouraged her but she insisted that she had fully recovered. "I am fine, if someone can show me the way, I can pick those herbs for you." I sighed. She wanted to help
Aurora Ralph was definitely going to be the end of me, well if he wasn't then I had no end because what was the sweet torture all about.I patted my lips and breathed slowly but he hovered around me without touching my lips with his."Huh?" I opened my eyes to find him smiling at me."Look at you, weren't you scolding me just now?" He smirked and arched a brow.As little as that gesture was, it fueled my desire. I pulled him by his shirt and took laws into my hands covering his lips with mine.I could feel his smile on my lips.It didn't take long for him to take charge and deepen our kiss.His tongue explored my mouth deeply like a child did a bar of chocolate.His hands roamed my body squeezing and pressing as he went over.His hand found my butt and he squeezed it making me gasp.Every gasp gave him room to deepen the kiss hungrily.Something about the way he was kissing me. He kissed me like it was going to be the last, I could sense a lot of emotions, his hands digging my hair d
AURORA For goddess sake what was the big deal in giving a helpless girl a chance?"She may not be as helpless you know and she's definitely no girl." Ralph suddenly turned and I bumped into him because of the speed at which I was chasing him on the heels. He held me from falling and then released me.Zendaya was just about the same age as me so yh he had a point but wait,Did I say that out loud?"And yes you said it out loud." He replied again."What?" I was a bit confused. "No you didn't ask the question aloud, I read your expression to know what you were wondering about.""Oh,"Honestly, his explanation made a whole lot of sense and I calmed my curious nerves."Aurora, I don't want to have this conversation aga—""What's happening here?" Annora walked up to us and inquired. "Talk to her please, I don't know why she's bent on bringing a total stranger into our home. I don't get it at all." Ralph ran his fingers through his hair exasperated.Annora looked at me expecting a respons
Aurora We made our way towards the direction where the scream came from. The voice sounded familiar yet unfamiliar, I had an inner intuition that Zendaya was in trouble but at the same time, the scream did not come from a female. It sounded like an agonizing scream of a dying man. We got to the room where the sound was coming from and my eyes widened twice their size at the picture I beheld. "What are you doing?" I yelled at the top of my voice hoping to bring him back to his senses.Gamma Lyon had his hand around her neck while every other person watched with solemn expressions. Each had their lips pressed in a thin line and none motioned to stop the gamma from taking Zendaya’s life, not Keston not Ralph. Lyon had only been newly appointed Gamma and he was not ready to slack with his duties at all. "Don't get yourself involved in this Aurora, she is nothing but a traitor." Ralph warned me and I saw Lyon tighten his grip. I went over to Ralph in order to free Zendaya, talking
Aurora "Thank you so much for sparing my life Luna," "She is not your Luna!" Ralph growled angrily making her shriek with fear.I stooped low to where she was on the floor and picked her up ignoring my mate's anger."It's all right. I am here for you but you have to answer my question honestly. You havecommitteda crime and I can only save you if you tell me the absolute truth" I whispered in her ear.Who was I deceiving? Everyone could still hear me very clearly. She nodded in response. "Why did you do it?" I asked aloud, pointing towards the figure who laid lifeless. Zendaya looked away, her face flushed and pale."I-I.." she was stammering which was only normal since all eyes were on her and the slightest mistake could cost her life. "Go on, I believe you already." I encouraged her and Ralph hissed in disapproval but he said nothing to counter me in any way."If I had let him live one second more, he would have exploded the whole place." I heard the sincerity in her voice even
Aurora"Brian," I called out to him but he didn't respond. I didn't chase after him, I wanted to be done with the matter with Zendaya first.Brian and Annora were just like family to me so if my words or actions hurt them all I needed to do was tender an apology. "Damn it," I sighed frustrated that they had left without hearing me out."I really don't know what has come over you Aurora or if this woman has cast a spell on you but you should really apologize to Annora and Brian. They've stood by us every step of the way so far and you know that." Ralph told me and I dropped my head in disappointment. "Yes I know that," of course I knew that. I knew everything Annora and I went through when our kinds were still persecuted and everything Brian did for me when my mate wasn't in his right senses.So I knew their value and contribution to my success today more than anyone else.For some reason, Ralph's lecture pissed me off."I know I owe them an apology and I'll tender one but that'll be
Aurora I watched the faces of the crowd go pale as they saw her head drop to a side and everywhere erupted in chaos as someone shouted. "A dead Alpha!" People stood to leave in a rush knowing the meaning of the very clear statement yet I watched closely. I knew they would come for her.The chaos and noise woke her from her slumber.It took her a while to adjust her eyes to the light but she eventually did and looked around frantically. I had let her sit freely without binding her to the chair so she could lead me to my target. 'Where is he?' I was in her head not as a mind link but as a torment perks of being the blue blood leader actually, I could invade their heads and get them to do my bidding but I rarely used my powers out of courtesy. This was one of the rare occasions. She held her head as if to silence my voice and jumped to her feet. On seeing this most people paused seeing she was alive."She's alive!" Cheers erupted so the ceremony could continue. "Please mount the podi
AuroraHe refused to tell me his name but I wasn’t interested in it, I was more interested in how he was able to numb his scent. "I don't know you, you have the wrong person." He said getting down from the bed to leave."Don't force me to get the information from you because I can and I bet you already know who I am." I stopped him."Just leave me the fuck alone. I said I'm not who you think I am."He was getting agitated, maybe he thought I was pulling his legs and trying to frame him like they had done his mum before he suddenly went missing. "Liar." I lifted his shirt to reveal the mark of my mother's bloodline .I had the same matk in the same spot."Do you still have anything to say for yourself?" I asked when he didn't deny further."What do you want from me? My past is buried." He looked sad and lost. I threw my hand around him and hugged him.He was much older than me but he had suffered a lot and I heard the stories growing up and only got to spend a few years with him durin
AuroraI had less than twenty four hours to either get it right or get it wrong, I realized my heart wasn't beating irregularly because I knew I was in full control yet still I wasn't ready for the worst to come."What are you going to do with her?" Connie asked me as she and Lyon watched the unconscious Zendaya lie in state."Wait, I'll wait for her to come around and snitch on us." I said actually meaning it.I needed her to regain consciousness and call for back up. I was going to end it all where it began. "Then?" Lyon was quite curious."Then the party begins." I told them"Alright now you're beginning to sound exactly as the Alpha would and that's wierd as fuck." Lyon cringed and I laughed but my heart was sad, I hoped the news got to him as well and he made an effort to come see for himself. "Do you think he'll come?" I asked none of them in particular. "I can't say for sure that the news will get to him given that he is not in his pack." Lyon shrugged. He was right, Ralph w
*Ralph*"I am least interested, my response is not changing. His nose flared and his breathing became labored. He looked different and I didn't push my luck since I was unaware of his abilities and dis.What had he done to himself?He had created a monster of himself with no remorse, he had definitely given more to his wolf side with the way he behaved animalistically on impulse. He was also cautious not to start the war first and I suspected that he still wasn't confident enough in his fortification. No matter the elements including magic, an Alpha remained an Alpha with the blessings of the goddess and several different other gifts. I needed to find Aurora and rescue Lyon, those were the most important things to me at the time. I returned with Kristen to where Brian held up with the rest after getting Annora to safety and I realized why Adrian was playing safe,He was already quite outnumbered seeing that we had two Alphas on our side.Completely exhausted I tried to communicate wi
AuroraIt took a while, lots of effort and all what not to get things out of Zendaya and surprisingly she had still not given me the answers I wanted.She had only given a silly condition for a bargain and I thought it quite fair."Just kill me because my tongue swore an oat not to disclose that information so I wont." She had boldly said that when I plucked her tooth one after the other with a plier and got my alibi to pull out her nails one after the other.A beautiful feel of satisfaction I got watching her writhe in pain but it wasn't exactly enough for me.Seeing the lifeless body of father had definitely brought a chill to my spine and blood, I had become cold hearted towards the parties involved and all I wanted to know was who was in charge.After much operations, Zendaya had offered to take us to the location. "Do you think we can trust her?" Connie asked me when I told her we were going to return to ny dad's pack and recover the seat of power since it was still vacant. Conn
RalphIt was like a movie where you watched lovers tear at each other's throats but what did I care?Adrian laid his bed and he was going to lie in it. Hopefully he was going to rest in peace with his father.I watched the tournament and observed Adrian's strength and weaknesses. He healed very fast, his speed was primal too and his attacks very accurate.Definitely, something had happened to him and I could see that he wasn't even fighting Kylie, he was just defending himself and pushing her away so he didn't hurt her until she found the dagger again."Good girl," I muttered as I saw her hand swing very fast before he could notice to stab him from the back as he laid on her trying to subdue her with his huge frame and weight.Like I said, his speed had greatly improved and in a split second, he rolled off her when he finally saw the dagger.I saw the look of shock on Kylie's face when his weight was lifted off her but she was already in full motion and she couldn't stop herself."Kyl
Adrian"I'm sorry." Kylie mouthed.I saw everything I stood for and fought for, fall to the ground but I couldn't rush in and pull out the stake to start treatment for him.It was a bloody scene, my Dad was still not close enough for me to trespass. I felt my head become light."Kylie why?" I felt a hand squeeze my heart tight that she of all people would betray me this much."Oh common, he's a prisoner charged with treason with a death penalty hanging over his head all this while. He was bound to die sooner or later." Ralph said smiling like the devil himself. I didn't see it coming. I knew had a devil side to him.Ralph had raised my hopes very high and taken me to a vulnerable state only to crash me at lightning speed with the worse thunder bolt; my mate.If it was someone else then I would have wasted no time to rip the person into two with the powers I had attained."I guess you can commend me for being a good Alpha now not so?" He paused and grinned like a child. "I have served
AdrianThe shock I received ran through to my bone marrow when my eyes fell on my mate Kylie, what was she doing here?I had picked her scent first but Ralph's blow had destabilized me in my distracted state and I felt the impact move me meters away but I was least bothered about that."Kylie," I called her name but she stood in her spot at his side. What a dirty game Ralph was playing, I knew him as a principled man and the last thing I expected was for him to drag my innocent mate into all of this."Addy, stop all of this please," she had tears in her eyes as Kristen held her hands to the back not letting her run into my longing arms."Baby I..." I lost the words, I could feel the bond pulling me to her, dampening all my vigor and lust for revenge Damn the goddess for such strong bonds of love that came with fated mates, love was the greatest force of attraction but I couldn't back down from my course simply because she asked, I had gone far deep and there was no redemption for me
RalphI turned and saw Adrian, well I was distracted by him so much so that I didn't pay attention to the petite lady that spoke to me first.He was truly standing there, my blood boiled in my veins as I recalled just how much he had betrayed me but something was off about him.He looked lost and drained, like a zombie maybe."Hello, Ralph." His voice was different too, I would have blamed it on magic but I already picked his scent from a mile away."Somewhere in my head I still thought that you'll be decent enough to address me as Alpha but I see that you already severed all the ties." I replied quite calm."There's not much to gain from given that I'm never going to kneel before you." "Bastard," I threw it at him utterly disgusted by his audacity. "More like the Ralph I know, calm doesn't suit you at all." Something was wrong, they had done things to Adrian and he had the look of a murderous monster in his eyes."Where's my mate?" I asked going straight to the point. "Your mate?"
