~DESIREI watched as everyone left the hall, and sooner, it was just me, Danielle, Richard, Storm, Avire, and Ian in the building. "Desire, Danielle actually fell on the floor in my presence. I didn't see her do anything to hurt her child." Storm said.Poor Storm! I knew her as a kind soul but I never thought this was how kind she was. She was so kind that she still cared for the feeling of an enemy who wanted her dead."Desire do you have any evidence to back up your claims?" Ian asked me."I don't think I have an answer for that," I said to him."In that case, you will need to go get an answer before tomorrow morning's meeting, or else you will face the consequences that come with interrupting critical moments." Alpha Kieran then said to me and left the building with his beta."Thank you Desire! But you didn't have to sacrifice yourself like this." Storm approached me and hugged me before leaving with her beta.It was remaining just me and those two monsters, and without giving the
~STORM "Witch Lena, why are you trying to...""Just admit your deed and don't try to pin it on everyone to be on a safer side." Witch Lena retorted.I stared at both women in confusion. Did Danielle really kill her own child? I was finding it quite hard to believe that she would go that far just to put me in a bad spot.Suddenly, Danielle started crying. "I didn't mean it that way, and to be honest, I didn't want the issue to get this far. Alpha please forgive me!" She then knelt.I felt stupified as I looked at her defeated demeanor. .. she did kill her child and frame me for it?"How did you kill your unborn child?" Kieran asked her. "I did take something that was given to me by Witch Lena a long time ago. Please spare me Alpha!" She begged. How could she be begging who she didn't offend? I thought as I stared at the shameless woman. "Can you now tell them why I pushed you?" I added and everyone turned to look at her."Actually...""Tell them, Danielle!" I groaned in annoyance."
~STORM"Reject you?" He replied, stunned."Didn't you just want to make up for every pain you caused? That's how you should do that." I replied and walked in."It's not in your place to request that." He retorted."And? Is it in your place to place false judgment on me? It's in your place to ruin my life?" I asked back and walked out of the garden and went back into the room. I didn't go out again till the next day. I opened my eyes the next morning and caught him actively staring at me. What could be going on in his mind? I thought. "Good morning Stormy!" He greeted and I got out of the bed without saying a word to him. I had a clean bath and attempted to leave the room when he then grabbed my arm. "Why aren't you talking to me?" He asked, igniting more tension in the room."I have to make some dessert for myself," I replied to himHe furrowed his brows. "When did you start cooking? If the chefs aren't doing their job right, you should fire them and higher better ones." "I am the L
~KIERAN"Ian, where are they? I'm ready to speak." I said to my beta but then he had no words. "What's going on?" I was getting impatient."I have no idea Kieran. They requested for this peaceful meeting but it seemed like they are about to go back on their words." He replied to me, and my facial expression changed. "That would only make them stupid, so I doubt they would do that," I replied to him, and a few minutes later, three men emerged from the woods; the alpha stood in the middle while the beta and gamma occupied his sides. "Nice to meet you here," I said to them as I proceeded to step forward but was suddenly surrounded by strange bees.I froze. What the fuck?"Kieran we need to get out of here." Beta Ian screamed and I chose to listen as I then hurriedly got into the car and zoomed off. What was strange was that these bees didn't follow me into the cars. "That was really strange Alpha! The meeting is ruined.""Help me get home!" I replied to him, pissed down to my bones.The
~KIERAN"Fuck!!!" I cursed as I punched my palms together and knelt on the bare floor. My heart ached bitterly as the words from the rogue were still resounding in my ears. "Why did you run? Stay back so I can kill you and devour you! Argh!!!!!" I groaned in pain and quickly ran back to my pack. I didn't stop till I got to the palace and stormed my room, but I couldn't meet Stormy there.I gritted my teeth as I pushed open the door to the bathroom and even checked the kitchen and other important areas she could be in but she wasn't there. My pains increased as I then settled on the bed, feeling restless. "Stormy where are you?" I couldn't bear her absence anymore. I thought of something and then stormed the gardens and the pools but she wasn't there. It was night already so where could she be? I thought as I then mindlinked Ian."Did you check out Avire's room? She could be in there." He suggested. But I didn't know Avire's room. Regardless, I then started kicking every door I coul
~STORMI stared at him with every seriousness in me, my eyes challenging his. "I will be waiting in the dining." He said and walked out like I never said a thing and that irked me.I soon got down but couldn't find him there. I became concerned I then decided to look for him but still couldn't find him anywhere. "Hi, Luna! The Alpha asked me to tell you he has an emergency and would eat when he returns." Avire reported to me and I couldn't help but smile."Thank you Avire! I was very worried about him." I said and then sat down to eat.I had an idea that walked into my head during the day, but I was only interested in playing it out when he returned.He returned at exactly 7 pm. "I will make you your food," I said and he smiled at me.I then walked into the kitchen while he went to shower. I cooked a small portion of meals that only he could consume and intentionally added too many hot spices to it. "Kieran you will reject me after feeling the hotness of this," I smirked and dished ou
~STORMI blamed myself hard for this incident, and I wouldn't be surprised if I got banished for poisoning the Alpha of the pack. I didn't think I would blame anyone for thinking wrongly of me this time, as I took full responsibility for what had happened to the Alpha.I ran back to the palace's main building and then went in search of Avire. "Luna is the Alpha okay? I heard he is being admitted to that hospital." She said as we met on the terrace."Avire, I don't know what to think of this, but I think I am to blame. I cooked him a spicy food. A food so spicy that anyone would spit out on taking the first spoon, but he didn't, and now the doctor is saying it's not hot spices and that he was being poisoned? Avire I can swear that all I added was spices. Hot spices. I have no idea how he ate poison. Why would I want to poison Kieran? I might be angry with him but I would never wish him death." I said crying profusely. She held me tight to herself as she comforted me."What state is he
~STORMI woke up the next day not being able to explain my feelings. Kieran was nowhere by my side, and I felt the heat of it.I had never felt so lonely in my entire life, not even when I felt abandoned by Richard.I got out of bed and freshened up; then I walked out of my room to get to work. "Good morning Luna!" Avire was already at the door waiting for me."How long have you been standing here?" I asked her and she smiled. "Not too long Luna. I cooked you a light meal. Please come have some so you can start your day." She said and led me to the dining. Ian soon appeared to talk to me. "You should join us!" I suggested but then he rejected it. I guessed he was scared of being in the same situation as his Alpha. "I completely understand."As though understanding me, he gave in and ate with us. "So far there is no solution. What do you suggest we do?" He asked me."If the witches from this pack can't, then witches from other packs should be able to," I suggested."You think we shou
~STORM"Stormy stop!" Kieran called out and held me the moment he noticed I was about to unleash my wolf. I paused in my step as I watched this strange woman lay on the bed, legs crossed. The audacity!"What the hell is going on here?" She asked and got up the moment she saw I was being held."What's going on is the fact that you just got spared. Let this be the last time you come into this house." I warned.She looked at me up and down, smiled, and clapped her hands. "Who the hell is this bitch?" She asked Kieran. I froze. She just called me a bitch! I turned to look at Kieran who saw the fury in my eyes and let go of me in werewolf understanding. I let out my wolf in that instant and watched as she jumped on the sight. "Watch your mouth in your next life!" I muttered as my wolf ate her all up, recharging itself. After that, it got back to me, and this time, there was no sign of her in the room. "She's gone!" I said and turned to look at Kieran when the realization struck me, and I
~STORM"Stop right there!" I ordered and she moved back a bit. Kieran then walked in and stood in front of her. "Why are you protecting her? Who is she to you?" I asked him. "And who am I to you?" He asked me back. "Your wife. We signed the papers already." I defended but he chuckled and walked her into his room. I stood in the sitting room and had to watch him take her into this house I just had cleaned up. Pained, I bit my fingers and sat down. Feeling uncomfortable, I sat back up and paced around the sitting room wondering what the hell they could be doing in there. After a while, I found my way into my room and slammed the door hard. I jumped on my bed and covered my ears with the duvets on it. "Kieran!" I muttered in anger, as I expected the pain that came with being cheated on as a werewolf. After about thirty minutes, I sat up on the bed and realized that I had not felt a thing at all. "Isn't this abnormal?" I asked myself and left the room. I sat on the couch in the sitting
~STORMNot wanting to cause trouble for myself, I quickly signed it and left the sitting room. I lived a similar and better life all through that month until Madam Cross woke me up one morning. "I will be leaving the house for now." She said to me and I froze. What the hell did she mean? I was forcing myself to understand what she was talking about. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier. Kieran begged me not to. He also doesn't want you to know when I leave, but I love you, and that's why I'm telling you this. Act like you have no idea.""Where are you headed?" I asked her."To my home to see family. It's outside of this city and after that, I will be out on vacation." She told me and placed her hand on my neck softly. "Please do everything to make this relationship work." She advised but I had no words for that as I took the duvet out of my body and ran to hug her. I saw her off to the door and noticed Cass outside of the house. She got into a car and Cass drove her out of the esta
~STORM"How are we going to do that? I'm so tired Mom!" I cried. Madam Cross took her in and made me sleep in her arms. The next morning, Madam Cross made me eat well enough and then took me to the mall again. We got into the clothing part and I became in awe of the types of clothes that were being sold in there. "Why is this so revealing?" I asked upon sighting a crop top that was capable of exposing not just my belly but my cleavage. "Here, look at this." Madam Cross said, showing me a see-through gown. "oh my gosh!" I exclaimed."Don't be shocked. Look around us. What do you find girls putting on?" She asked and I turned around only to see that she was right.Their dress wasn't just modern; it was stunning and made them shine. "I'm going to have to wear something hot inside if I'm going to use this see-through gown, right?" I asked her and she busted out laughing."I won't stop you!" She replied."But do you think Kieran would like this?" I asked on remembering Kieran's ugly look
~STORM I was in the kitchen thinking about what to cook as a surprise for Madam Cross later that evening when I saw the door to the kitchen flung open, and in the next second, Kieran stepped in looking very furious as he walked towards me. I tried to avoid him and turned to check out the items on the kitchen table when he used his hands and swept them to the floor before dragging me out of the kitchen to the long passage close to the guest rooms available on the first floor. I got pinned to the first floor and couldn't help but be pissed by his actions. "What the hell is going on here, Kieran? This is just too absurd!" I spat. "No what's absurd is you thinking so highly of yourself so much that you'd even dare trespass my private pool. Don't tell me Madam Cross didn't warn you about that pool." He replied, and I widened my eyes in realization. "Oh, I see! That shouldn't have pushed you to manhandle me that way. You wouldn't give me peace, Kieran, so I thought it would be fun to g
~STORM"Child, are you okay?" I suddenly heard Madam Cross' voice and quickly opened the door with tears in my eyes. The moment I saw her, I hugged her tightly. "What's wrong child?" She asked me and gave me the cup of tea she had brought for me. "Please spend the night with me," I begged, and she smiled and tapped my head."You are so adorable!" She replied and got into the bed with me. She helped me get tucked in and lay beside me.I woke up the next morning feeling more energetic than ever since I had stepped my feet in this city. I sat up and saw Madam Cross walking out of the bathroom. "The bathtub is set up for you. Have a warm bath and come down for breakfast, okay." She said to me and left the room after kissing my forehead. I had never felt so warmed by a stranger my whole life. After my shower, I walked into the dining room and saw Kieran already having his breakfast. I had the urge to turn and leave but couldn't as I then sat on the chair closer to Madam Cross and opposite
~STORMI smiled knowing it would be fun. Sooner, we walked back in and I rushed into the bathroom to have a cold shower. I stepped out looking fresh in my new gown only to find Madam Cross sitting on the bed with a plate of food in her hands. "Come and have some potatoes." She said to me and I couldn't help but nod my head and took the plate from her."Thanks, Mom!" I didn't hesitate to start eating right there but slowly. She then took the plate from me and started feeding me. I was stunned but had to come out of it as I watched her make me feel like I was a kid. Afterward, we walked into the sitting room. "You would love this movie." She muttered and put in a movie I had really never seen before. I placed my head on her lap, and she caressed my long hair. Together, we watched the movie. The main door got pushed open, and Kieran walked in, but this time, with someone. "Hi, Cass!" Madam Cross sounded excited to see the strange man. He must be a complete human. I thought as I wonde
~STORM"You are kidding right?" I had to ask him and he chuckled and dragged me out of the room. "Kieran, what are you doing? What if something happens to me in there? I can't... I know nothing about this City." I tried to get him to change his mind but it seemed like it was already made up. He dragged me into his garage and dumped me there; after that, he turned to go in, and I tried to go after him but couldn't catch up. I tapped on the door that he had locked and started feeling stressed. "Why is he doing this?" I sobbed as I then went back into the garage, grateful that there was a roof over it.It was so dark outside already and I had no idea what I should do as I sat on the cold floor and rested my back on the car. I looked up for a second, and the thought of standing up to explore the neighborhood sipped in. But I was tired! I then held the handle of the car door above me and got up only to get flung onto the next car as the door I was holding opened.I froze.He didn't lock hi
~STORMNo one cares? How is that even true? I glared at him and decided not to speak with him till we arrived at our destination. It felt as though I was mourning my title. A title loved and lived in so dearly. About thirty minutes later, we arrived at what looked like an estate. "AURORA ESTATE?" I read the words at the entrance and he turned with a smirk on his face."That's my estate!" He sounded proud of the name.I froze Did he just say his estate? I buried myself in my thoughts until I felt a nudge from the front passenger door. I turned to look and realized that he had actually gotten into his garage and turned off the car's engine. "Can I step down?" I asked."No, sleep in there! It's your pack!" He was being sarcastic. I looked at him and just had to get out of the car. I felt completely different the moment the air in Aurora City washed me. I felt... Human!Do I really want to do this? I thought as I looked at him and quickly took my eyes off, realizing I was shy, which was
