Sandra was fuming with anger after Jake left, she felt insulted by him, how dare he even suggest that she would want to be with London? All she wanted was the truth nothing more, but he couldn’t even give her an explanation. Instead, he just gave her away like that to another man, where was his loyalty then if he can even think of something like that?Where was this mate bond, he kept telling her about when it was that easy for him to just give her away like that? Lady Katerina knocked once and pushed the door open going inside. “Greetings my queen, I am glad to see you better, I was afraid of what the king was going to do had we lost you.” Sandra raises her eyebrow in confusion.“What are you talking about lady Katerina?” she didn’t not want to talk to anyone but having lady Katerina was going to bring her the destruction she needed and keep her mind from thinking about everything Jake has done. “After the incident the king locked down the palace, no is allowed in or out of the palac
When lady Katerina walked in, Sandra sat up and waited to hear if Jake was coming. “What did he say?” Lady Katerina walked to her and fixed her pillows. “I think you should give the king some time to think and calm down. He needs it,” She answered. “Is he coming?” she asked once again. “I asked the kitchen to make you some soup. It will be here soon. You must eat healthy so you can get out of here sooner.” Seeing lady Katerina avoid the question made Sandra’s heart sink.“Please, tell me what he said.” She pleaded. She didn’t know what to expect, but she needed to know. “It doesn’t matter what he said. He is angry, and it’s understandable. Give him time.” She said, then walked to the door and opened it for the maid who brought the soup. She came with another maiden who first tasted the soup before lady Katerina passed it on to Sandra.She then dismissed the maidens and sat on the chair next to the bed with a book in hand, trying to avoid answering questions from Sandra. She lowered he
The following morning when the doctor come Sandra wanted to be discharged. The doctor tried to convince her otherwise, but she would not hear it. By the time the lady, Katerina, came to visit, the queen was already dressed and ready to leave the hospital wing. “My lady, did the doctor discharge you already?” the lady was shocked.“No, but I will not stay here another minute. Let’s go, lady Katerina. There is a lot to be done.” She told the lady as she walked to the door. Lady Katerina had no choice but to follow her queen behind. She went to her chambers and got changed quickly. She wanted to get to Jake so they can have breakfast together and have time to talk to him.When she got to where Jake was having his breakfast, he did not even lift his head to look at her. He focused on his food. He could smell her scent and he wanted to go to her. Hug her and ask how she was doing, but how could he do that? She thinks he tried to kill her. “Good morning, my king.” Jake stood and walked out
On the way back from the Sky Moon Pack, Jack was quiet. He did not know what to make of London and his cousin Lewis. He did not know if they were cruel or plain heartless. He believed no sane being would do something like this. They killed the queen, now that was obvious. But what did they hope to gain? He did not understand.“Stop thinking about this so much, alpha. Let us finish it and remove these people from the face of the earth. They are not meant to live, among others.” Chad was still angry at London for being so cruel and for what he did to Sandra. “I am just wondering what his intentions were when he killed the queen.” Chad turned to him.They were both sitting at the back. “Is it not clear to you by now?” Jake shook his head no. “I think he did it so that the king has no successor when the time came. There was no other way for him to get the crown if the queen lived and gave the king an heir. Then the crown would have gone to him, and London would not have gotten his chance.
Upon hearing that Jake and Eric rushed to the door to check out the situation. It shocked them to see so many rogues rushing towards the pack house. It was like the time in London all over again. Eric could not help but worry about his warriors at the border. The king’s guards formed a line in front of the pack house with Jake behind them.These guards were willing to die for their king, Jake walked between them, got to the front, and let out a menacing warning growl. The rogues stopped and bared their necks. But that was only for a short while then they charged forward, and Jake ran to meet them halfway. “Protect the king!” yelled the head of the guards running forward but Jake was already far ahead.His heart almost jumped out of his mouth when Jake collided with the rogues. He ran faster with all the other guards behind him. But Eric got to Jake’s side first and like brothers they were. They tore the rogues apart. The guards stopped for a moment and watched but were soon interrupte
Everyone turned to the direction of the voice, and there stood a woman in a red cloak. Jake and Eric bared their canines at her and she smiled. “Down boy, I am not a threat. Well, that will depend on you.” She walked closer but stood a few feet away from the men. The warriors were already on alert looking for her companions. “Don’t worry boys, I sent your fellow dogs away, it’s just us now.” Jake hated being compared to the rogues.“Who are you?” asked Eric, the woman looking at him as if sizing him up. “You are not asking the right questions my dear beta.” Eric was stunned, if she knew he was a beta then that means there is a lot she knew about them and yet they knew nothing about her. That was dangerous. “What do you want?” it was Jake who asked this time.“Good question dear king, I want two things, one, protection for my kind and two. I want to work closely with you.” It was Jake’s turn to be stunned. “Why do you want protection for your kind and as far as I know your kind can tak
After regaining her composure, Sandra hurried to find Jake. She wanted to warn him about the witch. Lady Katerina was right beside her. “He is in the throne room, my queen.” Sandra could not smell people’s scents like werewolves do, she was human, and in cases like these, she relayed on the lady Katerina.They hurried to the throne room and when the guards saw her; they opened the door without asking questions. Jake, Samuel, and Tania looked in the door's direction when it was opened like that. Sandra appeared looking serious; Jake wanted to ignore her, but he did not want people to see they were having problems.“My apologies for the interruption, my king. But there is something urgent we must discuss.” Jake wanted to refuse, but he saw how anxious she looked and stood up. “Excuse me, I will just be a moment.” He said then ushered Sandra out to an empty room next to the throne room. “What is it?” he had no emotions in his voice and that hurt Sandra, but she decided to ignore it and d
“Let that be the last time you do something like that, remember what I said, you don’t want to do something you will regret?” Tania said with a smug look on her face, Sandra has hated no one not even Melanie after what she did because she understood where she was coming from. But this woman was cunning and manipulative and Sandra hated her for that.She huffed and walked out of the room feeling like no matter what she said would make no difference to a woman like her. She has no shame or principles. Jake followed soon after, she huffed and stopped to look at him with her arms crossed on her chest. “Shouldn’t you be entertaining your new woman?” Jake did not like the way she spoke to him as if he wanted this.“Shouldn’t you be keeping London company in the cells?” she did not think he would say that and when he said it, she lowered her eyes and when she looked up again about to explain herself. Jake walked past her and walked away. Sandra was hurt, she thought they were making progress
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
