Eric sat in Jake’s office with his legs crossed, elbow on the armrest of the chair, and hand on his chin. His eyebrows furrowed looking straight ahead waiting for his alpha. One could see that something was bothering the beta judging from the way he was looking. Minutes passed slowly as he waited and finally the door opened, and a tired-looking Jake walked in.
“Hey man,” he walked to his chair and took a seat. His hand went to his neck massaging the knots that were there from all the tension and stress. “Talk to me man, what is going with our Luna?” Chad called him while he was there, and he had to leave before he could hear more about Sandra.
Jake sighed “Well, the Moon Goddess has blessed us with a rare creature, according to Mama Joyce, your Luna is the eye of the gods as you heard, she can see both the future and past. But she is not taking this well, and it makes me regret marking her. She has already been through so much and no
“How is she?” London asked the doctor; he was in the pack hospital checking on Melanie. He needed her to wake up as time was running out for him. The doctor sighed, “It’s not looking good alpha, she is healing but slowly. I think they injured her wolf as well, so she started by healing herself before healing her.” this is not what London wanted to hear.“If she doesn’t show any signs of speedy recovery like she should throw outside my borders.” He told the doctor and then left. The doctor stood there processing what he was just told, what his alpha was asking him to do was inhumane, and he didn’t think he could do it. He looked at Melanie laying on the hospital bed.“You better heal and wake up now girl or they will throw you out of here and I can do nothing to prevent that.” He shook his head feeling pity for her then exited the word. London got into his office and slammed the door shut then walked to t
The pride in Jake's face could not be missed, the way he was looking at his mate was like it was the first time seeing her, he looked amazed by her and happy at the same time. Mama Jayce came in panting and stood at the doorway catching her breath. She frowns when she saw Eric dancing there like a fool. “I felt her energy, what is going on?” she asked, Eric, turned to look at her with that stupid grin on his face making Mama Joyce’s frown deepen. “Why in the hell are you dancing around like a monkey for?” she asked, and Eric chuckled. “You know, things have been so bad in this pack that seeing a person happy is like a crime or some foreign thing people don’t know of. I am happy Mama Joyce, and you know why?” mama Joyce clicked her tongue and turned to Jake. Sandra was laughing on the side but trying not to show it. “What is going on Jake, I swear I felt Luna’s energy, or it is me?” she asked once again, Jake glanced at his mate and gave her a small smile. Bef
“That was our mate” answers London’s wolf. “I know that but what is she?” he asked not taking his eyes off Sandra. “Not ours.” His wolf answered making London scoff. “I know she is not ours but what is she?” his wolf did not answer anymore, he retreated to the back of his mind.He was whimpering as he left, that was supposed to be his mate but his damn human rejected her and now they have lost her. Shane’s wolf looked up at London when he saw Sandra, he too didn’t know what was going on and thought his alpha might have an idea. “Alpha?” he called to him through the mind link.“I don’t know Shane and how did they know we were coming, do we have a rat in the pack?” he questioned getting angry. “No alpha, I don’t think we have a rat but I have a feeling that all this has something to do with that.” He said through the mind link with his eyes fixed on Sandra wh
She looked around shocked by what she had just done. “Finish it, my queen, order them to stop, they will listen. Trust me.” The voice whispered once again. Sandra felt her power, the confidence that came with it and she opened her mouth to speak. “There has been enough bloodshed and I say no more. Innocent people are dying for your selfish reasons and it is enough. I order all of you to stand down.”Everyone on the battlefield could hear her, even the ones on the other sides of the border froze but could clearly hear her. They were conscious but could not move. It shocked Jake to see his mate glowing like that and London. Well, he was frozen and could hear her clearly but he had a lot of feelings at that moment.Regret for rejecting her, she was everything a queen should be and by his side, they would have been unstoppable. He wanted her back; he needed to have her back. He saw her first, and she was his mate first before Jake. She was his and t
Raider’s paws thundered on the ground and the wind caressed his fur as he ran. Sandra only told him they called her their queen and left him standing there as she went up the stairs. He decided not to force her to talk and instead went for a run to clear his head but it was not helping.‘They called me their queen’ those words kept ringing in his mind, he tried getting rid of the thoughts and focusing on the run but it was not happening. He wanted to know what she meant by that and maybe his mind will rest.He ran until he got to the border then stopped and looked around inspecting his lands. “Everything okay, alpha?” one warrior on patrol asked, he was a tall, muscular man and when he saw his alpha there, he thought that something was wrong.Jake was still in his wolf form, his large wolf paced next to the warrior, the more time passed without him answering the more worried the warrior got. “Alpha?” he called to him aga
The general made the minister swear not to speak a word of what he told him to anyone and to let the elders choose whoever they wanted as their king. But as soon as they parted, the minister went straight to the elders and informed them of what he was told. An emergency meeting of the council was called that very night and a decision was made.In the morning invites were sent to packs far and wide. They were being invited to the crowning of the next king that was to take place two days from the date they sent the invitation. Invites were sent via email to make things easy and a follow-up call was made to all the alphas to ensure they have received the invite and to confirm their attendance.Preparations at the royal palace were also underway. The royal werewolf palace was situated right behind the mountain and on the other side to the east was the Golden Moon pack of alpha Nathaniel, to the Southside was the Sky Moon of alpha London and to the west side is the Crescent
Later that evening Jake and his team had already planned for the following morning. The omegas had packed a change of clothes for him and his Luna. Chad packed for himself as they decided he was going with Jake together with Samuel the head warrior and three other warriors. Eric was to stay behind and take care of the pack in their absence.Jake did not plan to stay long at the royal palace, he planned on being there till after the crowning of the king and then leave. Sandra prepared herself to go to the meeting with London. Jake was not happy about it but he did not stop her, she said she wanted closure then he will let her have her closure but he would not let her go alone.They argued about that until they decided he will wait for her in the car but Samuel was going in with her and he was to mind link Jake should something happen. The drive to town was a silent one with Sandra thinking of the last time she drove here coming from the hospital. About her studies and h
Early the following morning Jake, Sandra, their gamma, and guards were on the road to the royal palace. The ride was silent, and Sandra fell asleep again the moment they got into the car. They left the pack at four in the morning and Sandra was still sleepy. “I am still wondering why we have to be there a day early.” Said Jake, he informed his gamma and beta about it then they got back the previous night.“I was wondering the same thing.” Silence again after that with each one deep in their thoughts. “Maybe they want you to be one king’s man and that is why you must be there early. Be introduced and informed of your duties as a king's man.” Jake knew of the kings’ men but has never met one.They were a secret organization meant to protect the king; one may think they are just ordinary people because they were chosen among the alphas. He did not know what the criteria was for choosing a king’s man and he did not think he qualified for that even if he did. He did not want the position;
EpilogueJake was awake all night waiting for a call to update him on what happened the previous night. He did not want to call himself because he knew that in times of battle there is no time for a phone. When he got a call in the early hours of the morning from Derick informing him of what happened he was relieved.He then went to bed. “My parents will be here at ten, I will come and wake you up thirty minutes before the time so you can have enough time to freshen up,” Sandra told him when he walked into their room looking like the walking dead. He hummed his response and threw himself on the bed. It did not take long for him to fall into a deep sleep because of how tired he was.That morning Sandra left Jake in bed and went to make sure the preparations for her parent’s arrival were going according to plan. Their room to sleep, the decorations, and the breakfast set up. She made sure everything was done, then when she saw that her parents have landed; she went to take out clothes f
The battle had broken through the city with the vampires hunting the werewolves in bars and restaurants. They did not care who saw them while they were busy killing each other. The witches had expected that something like this would happen after killing Lewis and homeland security confiscating the drugs Lewis and his people had manufactured.So, when the battle of the species started the witches were safe in the witch regent’s house with a protection spell to hide the house from being seen by other creatures. The beta and the gamma had managed to get out of the packhouse and alert the others. But it seemed they too had their hands full. The vampires outside could easily smell their scents and started the battle on the outside as well.The scene was bloody and gruesome; it was war but not the one the species were waiting for, this war was with two allies who have now turned enemy. Two of the most powerful, violent species in the supernatural world. Vampires and werewolves. “We can find
The following morning the news about the arrest of those people broke. The vampires, werewolves, and those left who worked with Lewis became anxious. There was no mention of Lewis on the news, but they did not take note of the lead detective on the case. They wanted to know where Lewis and the scientist were.“We were promised an antidote and we need it. We have done our part now it is time for you to deliver.” The vampire clan leader said to Lewis’s beta. The beta was also at a loss, they did not know what happened to their alpha. They have tried contacting him and the scientists but none of them have answered their phones.Also, with Lewis and his experiments on himself. They could not feel when the bond broke the moment Lewis died. To them, he was still alive out there, somewhere. “Our alpha is a man of his word; you will get what we owe you but I think he is lying low now. There is too much heat.” The beta tried to explain to the vampire.To make him understand the situation but t
The agents were shocked by what they just witnessed. Other agents drew their guns and pointed them at all the werewolves. Humans fear what they do not understand, and the situation was no different with these agents. Things like werewolves are things they only thought existed in movies and now seeing them live with their own eyes was something scary.Jake just looked at them and went to find something to wear. The lead agent was still shocked looking at the werewolves’ cracking bones and shifting back to their human forms. Two of them were so shocked that they fainted when they saw the werewolves. “Stop right there and put your hands up.” The second in command said to the werewolves.Jake looked at the lead agent who seemed to be out of it then shook his head. “Stop moving, I told you to stand right there, or I will shoot.” The second in command repeated his command, he was scared out of his mind after what he saw. It was not only that these people were werewolves but how they killed
When Jake arrived in Louisiana, he called Chad, and he informed him of what they found in the lab. How they have changed the security systems there and have locked the place down with their own people on guard. Chad also told him about the schedule they found of three trucks that left the facility with medical supplies. They were to deliver the supplies to an address in the outskirts of town.“Burn that lab down and I will take care of the trucks.” Jakes said feeling like they were too late in stopping whatever Lewis was planning. “Alpha, what do we do about the people we found in the lab?” they did not know if those people were alive or dead or where they came from. “If they are alive save them if not, burn them with the building.” Jake ordered.Chad told everyone what the alpha king had ordered, and everyone went to work. Tylor with some warriors went to assist Jake in apprehending those trucks. The trucks were ahead of them, so they had to drive like maniacs on the road trying to c
Things at the palace have been remarkably busy. The king and queen were busy with their duties and trying to get the kingdom working efficiently and effectively for the benefit of all. They were so busy that they did not even have time to have their meals together. The only person who was enjoying this was the witch, she enjoyed spending time with Jake even if it was just working and nothing more.What mattered to her was that Sandra was far from Jake, she was busy and not causing trouble. She was also fitting in well in her new role and doing the work for the sake of her kind. “I am going to rest early tonight,” Jake told the witch; he was tired and have been working late. Between the kingdom and trying to help Chad and Damien everything had taken a toll on him.At least he had chosen his kingsmen and had made good progress in the case against Lewis. After some changes have been made some guards came forward and informed him of those still under Lewis’s payroll and those who helped h
The witches were quick to use magic to cover the tyre tracks with leaves and sand making sure all traces of them being there was erased. Just as they finished the first car appeared, they quickly opened a portal, and they left the place. It was the beta of one of the packs working with Lewis and a vampire clan leader of the city who arrived.“I think your people got it wrong, it doesn’t seem like anyone has been here.” Said the vampire leader, he could not smell anything that suggested there were werewolves there or even humans. the witches had done an excellent job in covering everyone’s scent. “Maybe the human’s got it wrong when they said they came this way.” Said the beta.“Or maybe your people can’t tell when they are being lied to.” The beta glared at the vampire but said nothing. “Let’s check inside.” He said but the vampire remained standing next to the truck they came in. it was during the day and could not act like he did during the night using his vampiric speed. But he did
Alpha Tylor was still confused when Claire stood up and pull him out by the hand. “Let me talk to her, I promise I will make her see reason.” Claire said looking at him apologetically. “What happened between her and the hunter?” he asked because he knew the issue had something to do with Derick. “He killed her mate; the witch regent was mated to a wolf and the hunter killed him. She has never forgiven him since; she did not look for him for revenge but swore that she will kill him if ever their paths crossed.” Claire explained,Tylor ran his hand through his hair. Is there no one Derick did not piss of? He wondered. But then again, Derick was only trying to protect his kind, and everyone knows that it is a dog eat dog in this city. “Go talk to her, we need the witches for this.” He said to Claire. She looked back at the house before going towards it.Every step she took felt heavy, she knew how broken the witch regent was when her mate died and now, she was going to convince her to co
“You dare come here after what you did!” the witch spat angrily. Alpha Tylor tried to say something, but the witch could not hear him as she was busy choking him. She dropped him to the ground and watched as Tylor coughed uncontrollably. “I came here to make peace.” He finally said when he stopped coughing.The witch folded her arms on her chest. “Now you come yet you didn’t have the guts to face me when your mate was alive.” Sadness covered Tylor’s eyes before he masked it. “I know I did you wrong Clare and I am sorry for what I did. I was a coward and did not know how to face you after finding my mate.” He admitted.“You should have spoken to me; how do you think I felt when I heard from people that you had found your fated mate after you asked me to be your chosen mate? You should have told me and not leave me like that.” She was still angry, this man asked her to be his chosen mate since it has been years of him searching for his mate and not finding her.They had been seeing each
