CHAPTER FOURTEEN.

ROSALIE'S POV.

I stood in a garden, hiding away from everyone and thinking about what to do next since I couldn't teach Maria my secret herbs, nor was I brave enough to introduce her to Jacqueline.

"Hey, there you are." Carl's voice distracted me and I turned to him.

"Hey."

He took his seat beside me on the flower bench.

"How's the meeting and how did you find me?"

"The meeting went well, and your scent is strong enough to be found even if you hid under the earth, you will still be found by me, somehow."

I smiled and returned my gaze to the flowers.

"What was the meeting all about?"

"How was your meeting with Maria?"

We both questioned each other simultaneously and laughed at the coincidence.

"Go, first." I gave him a room.

"How was your meeting with Maria?"

"Ah! That. She just has a piece of evidence that I'm not a murderer, but you're right, she's dubious."

"What did she want in return?"

I snapped my eyes to him, "You seem to know her too well."

He pfft. "You're th

    CHAPTER FIFTEEN.ROSALIE'S POV.I woke up from sleep with a slight headache hitting the side of my head, and I rubbed that side softly to ease the pain.When the pain subsided, I sat up on my bed and slowly, the dream I had crept back into my memory, and I remembered everything.I remembered waking from bed and seeing Briana in my room. Then she commanded me about some things, which I accepted, nodding to her words like a docile child.I shrugged it off after having the full memory of it, and I got out of bed to dress up for the day.I selected a pink fitted shirt and white pants before heading to the bathroom for a thorough body wash.I was done washing and dressed in my outfit. I brushed my hair, then packed it in a ponytail, knowing that I might enter the woods for some herbs.I heard that some more people who had contaminated the disease had been brought in the night before I slept, so I knew I might be finally considered.I went out of my room, and after a few steps towards the s

    CHAPTER SIXTEEN.ROSALIE'S POV.Jacqueline took me to his destination which was at the mouth of the woods, and he loosened his hand from my wrist, giving me room to jerk my hand away from him, and I fell to the floor because of that sudden impact."Rosa!" Carl called and ran to me on the floor, "Are you okay?"I was not in the mood to answer him, so I just stared away, fixing my eyes on my wounded wrist and palms, which were bleeding.I was very weak as I sat there, and most importantly, I was mad at Jacqueline for treating me without care."Stop being pitiful and get into the woods to look for your ingredients. And of course, I won't be dumb enough to allow you to prepare it without proper inspection. I will personally inspect you today." Jacqueline said to me.His nonchalant attitude was echoed in his voice, and I missed the expression he had on because I was not ready to see any.It was like he was hurt by something, and he was taking it all out on me. I somehow also knew that some

    CHAPTER SEVENTEEN.JACQUELINE'S POV.My hands itch to hit something so bad, to at least reduce my anger if I couldn't take everything off my mind.I got to my chamber and stomped towards the mirror to see what I had become, and right there stood a homeless man whose face was squeezed up uglily in a frown.This man who was staring back at me was everything I wasn't. He looked cold, helpless, vicious, cruel, and a lot more bad things, and I hated that that same man was the man I'd become.I hated that I let people change me, but what could I do when the world suddenly turned cold and lonely for me? All the people I trusted betrayed me, and all the people I loved left me.I would have been okay if I had been warned, but no, nothing seemed wrong til everything turned wrong. Even my father made me believe that he wouldn't leave me, not knowing he was desiring his wife's touch deeply in his heart.If my father could do that to me, who is Rosalie and everyone else?Everyone was a snake, and

    CHAPTER EIGHTEEN.ROSALIE'S POV.I was beside Briana and watched her pounding the leaves we got from the woods, and her weird smile was plastered all over her face.She dropped the pestle in the mortar, and faced me, "What next?""Add the pure honey to it, and that's all," I instructed her with a bow at her.She smiled ruthlessly at me. "What does this herbs do again? What does it cure?"I stared at Briana, at first not replying to her.In my heart, I didn't want to reply to her question, but it felt like something in my soul was forcing me to answer her, which was against everything I wanted.It felt like my soul, mind, and body were in a great battle with each other, which caused a lot of pain for me, but I kept on moving on. So the alienated feeling won, and I answered her."Diseases, master.""Good."She returned to what she was doing, and suddenly, a mighty breeze began to blow, like a tornado, though not strong enough to be called a tornado, and then I heard a voice calling my n

    CHAPTER NINETEEN.BRIANA POV.It was another day to work.As the head of all healers in the pack, I was not by any reason associating myself with the other healers, and my main purpose in the pack was not to be a slave to the sick people. I was here for their alpha. Jacqueline.Everything had been going on smoothly. Jacqueline was almost slipping back into my hands until Rosalie brought her bad luck with her into the pack, and she had been standing as an obstacle to me.Normally, I don't like obstacles, nor do I always keep them near. It was either I make them leave the pack house themselves, or do things to them that would make them kill themselves.I didn't stain my hands with blood. I don't kill, but still, everyone in the pack house feared me, and that was probably how Rosa was able to gather some information about me from people.They all feared me, and I loved it that way.They all knew I wanted Jacqueline. So, to stay clear from my path, they all stayed away from the alpha, mak

    CHAPTER TWENTY.JACQUELINE'S POV.I stomped into the throne room with Carl behind me, and I met with the elders who were uneasy, "What the fuck am I hearing?" I growled out the question."The rogues broke into the pack and took away the messenger when he was returning to his alpha." An elder replied to me."How did it happen? Where was everyone when it happened?""We were not present, but an eyewitness told to us that he was targeted and taken from among them when he was going." Another answered me."How's that possible? Didn't the strong guards follow to see him off as I commanded?""They did, my alpha.""Then get them here right now, I need to question them to know whether to take their head or let them find the messenger. They'll have to choose one.""They can't be here alpha. They're dazed and look eccentric like their brains were toyed with. They're behaving like a pup."I began to pace, "How's that possible? They're strong and fearless, who would harm them without a fight?"No o

    CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE.JACQUELINE'S POV."I think it's fully covered now," I told Carl and he nodded."Yes, it is."We were already at the dwarfs' territory, and to easily conceal our identities, we changed our clothes to rags and hit the car in the woods, covering it with dry leaves and branches."Why's your hair looking neat?" I questioned Carl and drove my hands into his hair immediately, scattering everything about and pointing each tip to different angles."Now, you're looking like a wanderer," I commented and he chuckled."Let's go."We moved towards a small route and walked through it vertically, making sure that our ears were opened to pick sounds from miles away.We began to hear some sounds like rumbles, and no word could be deciphered from the sounds."I think they didn't speak English." Said Carl to me."Doesn't matter, we'll find someone who can speak English, and if there's none, I'll read their body language and expression to know what's on their minds.""Alright."We cont

    CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO.JACQUELINE'S POV.Craig Fritolar's eyes lingered on me before slowly he waved his hand to his men who were sneaking behind Carl and me, then he chuckled, "I'm not expecting something less, bloody werewolves."I stood up to my feet to look down at him since his 4ft tallness couldn't match my 6'3ft."You surprised me, Fritolar, you want to attack a boy like me from behind. Is that not cowardice to you? Because it is to me."He began to pick his brow in thought, then he spoke up, "I don't have it in mind to kill you, at least, not yet. I only wanted to capture you to make you understand you're fighting a lost battle. I bet your messenger is dead by now. You're just threatening your life for nothing."I pulled closer to him with my face turning cold, I was done with chitchat. "It's like you don't get it, Fritolar. I'm not my father, neither am I my ancestors, if I set my mind on something, I do it without thinking of the risk in it."But I must say, thank your god that

Jacqueline returned to the pack house in victory, leaving Carl and the guards in the territory to clear everywhere.His body was aching, and his mind was acting up. That was why he left the territory to the castle to see Rosalie. He didn't know what he was feeling until he saw the guards he had appointed to watch over Rosalie. Their nervous expressions immediately set him on edge.He narrowed his eyes at them. "What happened? Where is Rosalie?" His voice was sharp, demanding immediate answers.One of the guards swallowed hard before speaking. "She ran off to the human world, Alpha. She… she found out her pups were in danger. She left without waiting for further words."Jacqueline’s heart stopped for a moment before it picked ba

    CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE.AUTHOR'S POV.In the human world...It was the weekend, and Michael, Rosalie's boyfriend, had woken up in the morning and had decided to take the children, Ricardo, Raymond, and Rowland, to the park for some fun. "Who will love to crush the weekend in the park?"

    CHAPTER EIGHTY.ROSALIE'S POV.Briana's words made me halt. I frowned, searching her face for any hidden meaning but found nothing but her mock, "What are you talking about?" I demanded.Briana’s smile widened. "Oh, come now, Rosalie. Don’t tell me you don’t feel it. Something… out of place. Something… wrong. Simple."My heart skipped a beat, but I kept my expression neutral. I didn’t want to give her the satisfaction of knowing she had rattled me. I let her words sink in, trying to decipher their meaning. I glanced around the hallway, searching for anything out of the ordinary. But everything seemed normal. The guards were in position, the prisoners were secured, and the pack house was as it should be. Everywhere was as it was.I sighed, 'She must be bluffing.'"You’re wasting your breath," I said, my tone cold. "Whatever game you’re playing, it won’t work."Briana’s eyes gleamed with a wicked twisting brightness. "Aren’t your children in the human world? Or… don’t tell me you don’

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE.ROSALIE'S POV.I was in Jacqueline's room, waiting. The walls of his chamber which had always been so comforting to me, now felt like they were closing in on me. My thoughts were a rollercoaster, rolling all around and running to him. 'Is he safe? Is the pack holding its ground? Should I be panicking? Should I check it out?'A lot just kept running in, and every scenario my mind conjured up only made the intestines in my stomach tighten.I tried to sit, to calm myself down at least, and I did, but the moment I sat down and stopped moving, my chest felt like it was being trampled under the weight of my worry.I jolted back up.''He’s out there, facing… who knows what," I muttered to myself, running my fingers through my hair. Rose began to growl at me. *Stay calm. Sit down, I'm trying to rest.*But how could I? How could I sit here, useless, when Jacqueline is out there and might need me?*Just calm down, he will be here in a bit.*Most times, Rose behaved like

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT.AUTHOR'S POV.Jacqueline and Carl resumed their walk.Carl's mind ran back to the mysterious messenger, and his mind began to race at his words. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Jacqueline? Why would someone capable of causing such chaos on the pack just deliver a message and leave?" Carl mused aloud.Jacqueline’s expression was unreadable, his thoughts carefully guarded. He was just thinking about it too. "It’s not just the message. It’s the power they wield. That sound… it wasn’t meant to warn. It was meant to cripple us. Whoever they are, they wanted us vulnerable or better still, destroyed."Before Carl could respond, Jacqueline stiffened, his senses sharpening as a new presence came into his awareness. "Sh!" He cautioned Carl and listened til he got what he was looking for. "They’re here."A low growl rumbled in his chest as he turned to Carl. "Who?" Carl asked him, his voice dropping to a whisper.Jacqueline didn’t answer immediately. His heightene

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN.AUTHOR'S POV.The night air carried the faint scent of blood and despair, which flew all around the pack as Jacqueline and Carl walked the path leading to the pack’s territory where all the problems were generated. Where they were ready to catch the intruder red-handed.The tension between them was heightened, it was like a heavy weight that seemed to cling to their skin. Instead of shifting to get to their destination in a go, they had decided to walk some distance just to see what the damage had done to the pack.Jacqueline’s eyes were not fixed on a particular spot, it kept on moving from one person to the other in a bid to take in everything without missing out. Every step he took was calculated, he was cautious not to step on any growling individual, for the pack members had spread out on the floor, growling in pain that even when they scented their alpha passing by, they couldn't acknowledge him. Carl followed Jacqueline closely with jaw tight and fists

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX.AUTHOR'S POV.The sharp, painful sound had torn through the pack's territory, and everyone, the aged and pups, all felt it. It was unlike anything the wolves had ever experienced. It was shrill and piercing, a noise that seemed to bang directly into their skulls and pierced into their ears. It was an unspoken and unexpected pain for them all.For the lower-ranked wolves, especially the Omegas, it was another story entirely for them. All of them clutched their ears in agony, and when their eardrums couldn't hold it all in, it bled. "Ah!""Arg!""Argh!""Alpha!"Different cries of pain echoed across the pack as the weaker members collapsed on the ground, bleeding through their ears. Even some of the mid-ranked wolves struggled to stay upright, their faces pale as they fought to withstand the pain.They all forgot about the moon goddess at that moment, and cried to Jacqueline, "Alpha, help us!"Jacqueline, who was on his way to the throne room when the incident hap

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE.ROSALIE'S POV.The taste of his lips lingered on mine. It was deeply salty from his tears, and bitter from his pain. I pulled closer to him to kiss him even harder, pouring every ounce of my regret, my love, my apology into that kiss. But he didn't return the kiss, and just when I thought he would respond, Jacqueline pulled back.His lips parted from mine with a finality that left my heart beating loudly in its ribcage. He stepped away, his eyes filled with emotions which I could read into and also feel. Anger, betrayal, sorrow and a pain which I knew was deeper than the ocean.Above all those, I could see his love for me somewhere at the deep of his heart, just by a small corner there. I felt it so little but I was glad it was something."Jacqueline…" I whispered, my voice trembling as I tried to reach closer to him.He held up a hand, stopping me in my tracks, he said no word. Just his eyes on me.His silence was louder than any yell, echoing than any accusati
