CHAPTER ELEVEN. "Zain, let's hear from you," Maleek said. "Everyone has made a suggestion except you." "Why don't we all take a thirty minutes break, then come back and decide?" His voice was laced with warmth and pride as usual. The problem was that no one ever took him seriously. How could they when he had no money? Bello was grateful for the suggestion of a break. He knew Zain would always come through for him. "Yes, a break is what we all need." "No amount of break will change the fact that your student whom you've been presenting as the best is involved in a very offensive sex scandal, that is capable of putting a serious dent on Ocean Academy's image." "It's enough, we'll go for the thirty minutes break," Simon said. ***"Are you involved in Jordan's sex scandal?" Megan questioned her friends as she pulled them aside. Tanya grinned. "I know nothing about that." "And you?" She looked at Aria. "Me neither," Aria said. "But I
CHAPTER TWELVE. "Wait here!" Megan instructed her friends."Why?" Avara asked her. "Why should they wait here?" She turned, looking at the long lonely door they had just passed. "What part of the gym is this?" Charlotte asked. "The basement," Megan replied, "and they can't follow us, our coach doesn't like crowds." Aria whispered to Megan, "What are you up to? This is not even close to Coach Zain's office." "Let's go." Megan smiled, then walked to the basement with Avara and Charlotte.When they were in the basement, Megan used her leg to shut the door. "Hey! Why did you do that?" Charlotte asked. "Open the door, it's dark here!" Avara said in an offensive tone. "What is your problem, girl?" Megan laughed mischievously. "My problem?" She turned on the light of her phone, and moved closer to Avara and Charlotte. As she drew closer to them, they moved backwards in fear. There was something scary about her. "Hey!" Avara muttered. "Stop it, weirdo." "You're getting us freaked
CHAPTER THIRTEEN.Jordan sat on the hospital bed beside her father. Her father had been unconscious for some days. She had asked for her mother to be transferred to another hospital, and she was.Jordan refused to visit her mother even when Caroline begged her to. According to Caroline, her mother had regained consciousness and wanted to see her with Tory. Jordan's heart throbbed with pain when she remembered Tory. Where could Tory be? She dipped her hand in her pocket, brought out her cell phone, then tried Tory's line again. It was going through but he wasn't picking. "Where did you go, why did you leave? I want to know... Please pick up." She dropped a voice mail for him. "I'm sorry." Jordan swore she would never forgive her mother, for all the pain she had caused in the past, and the damage she was still causing. "Jordan?" A nurse entered the private ward."Yes?" She answered, fighting back tears. She wasn't even thinking about the Olympics now, what mattered most was her da
CHAPTER FOURTEEN.(SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:Dear readers, the doors of blessings shall be opened for you and your families throughout this season and forever. Happy Christmas, enjoy the holidays! ❤️Best Wishes,Pinkie Alaha).Avara and Charlotte followed Megan everywhere she went. First, Megan left the basement to her car, after Zain rejected Avara and disappeared. Yes. He vanished into the air. In his life span, he had the grace of using his disappearing powers twice. This was the first time he had used it."Stop following me," Megan warned, trying to open the door of her car. "Please." Avara knelt in front of her. "Please help me." "I don't know where he is, you saw him vanish," Megan said and sighed. "How did you meet him? How long have you known him? Maybe you might know where we can find him." Charlotte joined Avara to try and convince Megan. "Please help us." "Who are you?" Avara stood up. Megan rolled her eyes. "None of your business." "It is my business!" Avara p
CHAPTER FIFTEEN. It was a bloody night. Zain Adolphus had spent nights in the woods, waging war against the rogues. He invaded their town and ripped apart each one of them he came across. The rogues could not stand the war he waged single handedly. There was blood in his eyes. He howled angrily at the universe. Looking around him, he discovered all the rogues in that town were dead. The surviving ones fled town. "Moon goddess!!" Zain yelled, slapping his cheeks hard that his hands burned. "She cannot be my mate, I reject her. She is too weak, I cannot and will never marry her. You have to do something about this." He looked at the skies and continued lamenting. "I deserve a brave and strong warrior as a mate. Someone I can rule the world with, someone passionate about conquering the world, not a mate passionate about having a human salon where she'll be licking their ass." He turned to the other side and yelled. "You have to change my mate! My Luna must be brave and strong."
CHAPTER SIXTEEN.Mateo led the rogues back to their hideout in the woods. They destroyed quite a number of properties and killed a few humans, the ones that were unfortunate.The police tried their best, but not one of the rogues was hurt. They managed the situation well, trying to reassure the individuals all was fine, and that there was no cause for alarm. This time people were not falling for lies. Everyone knew they were wolves on loose, attacking the city.Megan didn't return him that night. The next morning she stood in her father's living room, being interrogated. She had never seen her father so furious, so dark. There was something in his eyes, something that was akin to hatred. Her mother, on the other hand, was calm and collected. "Where were you last night?" Her mother questioned. "Out destroying the city?" "They killed five people last night! Five!" Trainor jumped to his feet in frustration. "You are evil and wicked. You don't deserve to be alive." "I didn't do anyt
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN.Jordan was anxious to hear what Coach Maleek had to say after he had a long private discussion with Megan, and had probably made several calls to the CEO or other executives of Ocean. She was grateful to Megan for standing up for her. Coach Maleek walked up to her and extended a hand. "Congratulations, you're back on the team to attend the Olympics," Coach Maleek said. Before he walked to the stage to address his students, Jordan quickly grasped his hand for a quick handshake. "Thank you, Coach!" She said aloud as he walked to the stage.Coach Maleek addressed his students, informing them of the newest development. The girls cheered and brightened up, except Megan and her friends. From behind her back, Aria rolled her eyes and shot Jordan a warning glance.Coach Maleek ignoring their noise, swung his bag over his shoulder, and strode out of the classroom with Zain. Jordan rushed to meet Megan immediately she saw that she was alone. She had every reason to be gra
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN.Without warning, Megan took off at a sprint, giggling as she went. Zain followed from behind, chasing her through the trees on the Island. He could catch her easily, but what fun would that be? He dodged a few trees, and ducking around the opposite direction, he met her head-on, then tackled her to the ground. Her cheeks were flushed pink, and her smile wide and carefree. For a brief time she wasn't fighting at home with her parents, arguing at the gym or running from the rogues. She had a feeling the Island will bring her the happiness she had yearned for all her life.They both lay on their backs, staring at the sky. The silence that followed didn't feel awkward, it was rather appreciated by both. From the look on their faces, they were both enjoying the serenity the Island brought. "I am the CEO of Ocean Academy," Zain broke the silence. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner." He shot her an apologetic glance. Megan smiled. "The fact that you apologized makes u
CHAPTER THIRTYMegan's eyes locked onto Trainor as he emerged from the chaos, his gun raised and ready to fire. She could see the hatred in his eyes, the determination to take her down."You're a monster," Trainor spat, his finger tightening on the trigger. "I should have killed you that day you first came into the world." Megan laughed, the sound echoing through the destruction. "I'm just getting started," she said, her voice dripping with menace. "Where is Zain?" Trainor fired, the bullet flying straight at Megan. But she didn't flinch, didn't even blink. The bullet hit her, but it didn't seem to have any effect. She just kept laughing, her eyes gleaming with a fierce inner light.Trainor's eyes widened in shock as he realized that the bullets weren't working. He fired again and again, but Megan just kept coming, her laughter growing louder and more manic.The military and police vans arrived, surrounding the area and opening fire. The sound of gunfire was deafening, the smell of
CHAPTER TWENTY NINE The night air was crisp and cool, the moon hanging low in the sky as Megan stood before the gathered werewolves. The clearing was filled with the sound of rustling leaves and snapping twigs, the only light coming from the flickering torches that surrounded the perimeter.Megan's eyes scanned the crowd, her gaze meeting the eager faces of her pack. They were ready for this, ready to take the fight to the humans and rescue their own."My friends," Megan began, her voice ringing out across the clearing. "Tonight, we gather to discuss a matter of great importance. A matter of life and death."The werewolves leaned in, their ears perked up and their eyes fixed intently on Megan."For too long, our kind has been persecuted by the humans," Megan continued. "They have hunted us, killed us, and enslaved us. But tonight, we take a stand. Tonight, we fight back."The werewolves erupted into cheers and screams, their voices echoing through the forest. Megan raised her hands,
CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHTThe sun had barely set, casting a golden glow over the forest, but Megan's mind was already racing with plans for the impending coup. She and Tory had parted ways, agreeing to meet back at the old oak tree at dawn, ready to put their plan into action.As she walked back to her makeshift den, Megan's heart was pounding with excitement and nerves. She had never been one for violence, but she knew that this was the only way to claim her rightful place as Alpha.She spent the rest of the night pacing back and forth, her mind replaying every possible scenario. What if Austin and the other Alphas put up a fight? What if they had more allies than she anticipated?Despite her doubts, Megan knew that she had to push forward. She had to take a stand and fight for what was rightfully hers.As the first light of dawn began to creep over the horizon, Megan made her way back to the old oak tree, her heart pounding with anticipation. Tory was already there, his eyes gleaming wit
CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVENMegan's heart sank as Austin's words cut through her like a knife. She felt a stinging sensation, as if she had been slapped. She tried to speak, to ask him why, but her voice caught in her throat.She turned and walked away, her eyes blurring with tears. She couldn't believe that Austin was rejecting her again, after they had just fought side by side to defend the pack.As she walked, she felt a sense of despair wash over her. She had thought that maybe, just maybe, Austin had started to see her in a different light. But now, it seemed like she was back to square one.She walked for what felt like hours, her feet carrying her on autopilot as her mind replayed the events of the battle. She couldn't understand why Austin was so determined to reject her.Finally, she found herself back at the edge of the forest, staring out at the familiar landscape of her hometown. She felt a sense of emptiness, as if she was staring into the abyss.Just as she was about to turn an
CHAPTER TWENTY - SIX Twenty moons had passed. Megan was still trapped with Tory. Perhaps it wasn't a trap, perhaps it was destiny. Tory had turned to a rogue wolf and she was still stuck, looking for ways to recommend herself and go back to the world to find Zain Adolphus. As Megan stepped into the heart of Stone Creek Pack, the scent of damp earth and wildflowers enveloped her, calming her nerves. The full moon hung low in the sky, shining in an ethereal glow over the gathering of wolves. The air was alive with the sound of rustling leaves and the distant howling of wolves. She had been searching for her fated mate for what felt like eternity, and tonight was the night she would finally find him.She looked through the crowd, her eyes locking onto a towering figure. His rugged features seemed chiseled from the granite of the surrounding mountains, and his broad shoulders rippled with muscle beneath his fitted T-shirt. The sound of his deep breathing was like a gentle hum, and sh
CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVEMegan's eyes blazed with determination as she stormed through the streets, her feet pounding the pavement in a rhythmic beat. She had been searching for hours, following every lead, every hint, every rumor. And finally, she had tracked down her father to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town.As she burst through the door, a cold wind swept past her, carrying the scent of decay and neglect. The warehouse was dimly lit, the only sound the creaking of old wooden beams and the distant hum of a city that never slept.Megan's eyes scanned the room, her gaze locking onto her father's figure. He was standing in the shadows, his arms crossed over his chest, his eyes narrowed in a mixture of anger and concern."Megan, what are you doing here?" Trainor asked, his voice firm but cautious.Megan's eyes flashed with anger. "You know exactly why I'm here, dad. I'm looking for Zain. Where is he?"Trainor's expression remained neutral. "I don't know what you're talking a
CHAPTER TWENTY-FOURThe sun's descent into the horizon painted the Ocean Academy campus with a warm, honey-colored light. The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers and the distant sound of students' laughter and chatter. Coach Maleek's office, however, was a different story. The atmosphere was tense, the air thick with anticipation.Trainor stood outside the office, his eyes fixed on the door as he took a deep breath. He could hear the muffled sound of voices inside, Coach Maleek and Zain discussing something in hushed tones. Trainor's hand instinctively went to his gun, a habit he'd developed over years of service. He knocked on the door, the sound echoing through the corridor."Come in," Coach Maleek called out, his voice firm but friendly.Trainor pushed open the door, his eyes scanning the room. Coach Maleek and Zain were seated at the desk, a look of surprise on their faces. "Trainor, what brings you here?" Coach Maleek asked, his brow furrowed in concern."
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE."I'm curious about where we are headed!" Tory said, pulling back the man that looked like their leader. "Where do you think we're going? Relax, it's a new place, the politician paid huge for this, and you will get your cut after we've completed the job," The man responded. "This place is creepy!" Tory said with a snort. "I'm not going if you don't give me the full details.""Okay, we are digging a grave tonight." "What!" Tory looked around. "Oh no, please don't involve me in digging anybody's brave. I can't do that, man." "You want money or not?" The man glared at him."No, I don't," Tory insisted. "Then turn back and leave, and make sure you seal your lips or else you know where your neck will end up." The man growled. "Now get out! I might not call you for the next job." "Man, you can't just discharge me without giving me a good tip, I took a cab here.""No tips." The man said firmly, entering a van with two other guys. They took a lonely path and sped o
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO. "In this paper bag." Trainor dropped a sealed paper bag on Inspector Desmond"s table. "You will see a gun that belongs to Dr. Matt, legally licenced. I found the DNA of the last werewolf he murdered on it." "How can you tell it's a werewolf's DNA?" Desmond questioned. "The new team of doctors I am working with confirmed it, their DNA is different from human's." "So you are saying Matt has been discreetly killing all the werewolves in his care, for years now?" Desmond asked. "Yes. I go out there and face all sorts of dangers, just to capture these monsters alive, take them to the laboratory to see if Matt can transform them permanently to humans, but he turns around to kill them?" Trainor huffed impatiently. "He is not getting away with this." "Where is Matt?" "I locked him and his team up, in different cell rooms." "Have you interrogated his team?" "Yes." Trainor nodded. "Majority has confessed to the crime." "What does he use in killing these guys?" "H
