~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"She shut the door in our faces, Luna. Do you think she would love to help?" Avire got worried.I was skeptical. "I...""I would love to." She opened her door and said.We all got confused. "If you would, then why not start now?" I asked her, and she smiled."How about you get qualified for my help first before discussing that antidote? What you can do will tell me the exact antidote your Alpha needs. If you are ready, let me know." She said shutting the door again before I could speak.I took a deep breath as I then turned to look at Ian and Avire.Was the priestess kidding me right now?She opened the door again and peeped at us. "Ready?" She asked and I nodded. "Good! Now look there, whichever one that can be healed by your touch will determine what antidote your Alpha may need." She said, and I turned to the counter not too far from the door. On it were so many flower vases with dead plants. I stared at them, surprised as I turned to look at Ian and Avire, who then gave me
~STORMCould that be the antidote? I thought as I turned to look at Avire.I watched her bring out more of the exact leaf and start pounding it until it was almost liquid. She separated the water from the particles in it and then added some liquid substance to it. Nature is so wonderful! I watched in awe as she then instructed the doctor to get a little part injected into him, which he did, and we had to wait for a few more minutes to be sure that the antidote was going to work on him. Five minutes later, Kieran opened his eyes and I couldn't help but regain my smile one more time. "Kieran!" I called his name and quickly ran to him, hugging him so he could see how much I had missed him. "Kieran, how do you feel?" I asked as I gently touched his face. He stared at me for a while. I had no idea what he was thinking. "Alpha Kieran you are awake. All thanks to the moon goddess and Luna!" Avire said joining her hands together to show her gratitude."How do you feel?" I asked him again a
~STORM"My father runs the Black Rock Pack," I replied to her."Alpha Xander is your father?" She asked in shock as she opened her eyes to look at me. She then came closer and hugged me. "Wow! I'm sorry I asked that." She said. "It's not an issue at all," I said to her and she smiled widely. "I'm lucky to have been able to help you solve one important problem Luna Storm. Do you intend to return to rule your father's pack someday?" She asked again and I froze. "I have a life over here, high priestess. This man here is my everything at the moment." I said as I turned to look at Kieran whose facial expression changed.I wondered what he was thinking. "In that case, I will be on my way." She then said and tried picking up her bag.I bent down and helped her pick it up. "I will see you off," I said and then left the ward after her. "I want to tell you something." She said outside of the ward and I opened my ears and listened attentively.After about twenty minutes, I returned to the war
~STORMIt's been two days since Kieran completely recovered and I guess I was more thankful to the moon goddess than he ever was. I tried everything I could to never think about that day anymore as I am now fully focused on the pack. Standing on the terrace, I noticed Maid Mia limping from the garden and my brows became tense. What is she doing? I couldn't help but think. I had the urge to call her but withdrew myself as I would rather observe. I watched her limp till she got into the palace and then headed towards the maids' room.A few moments later, she stepped out, and this time, she was walking perfectly.I was stunned. Nah! Not possible! I thought. I guess I must not have seen it earlier, or maybe she was just pretending. I thought as I chose to ignore it.The next day, I sat in the sitting room switching between channels when I noticed the same maid walking out of the kitchen abnormally. She looked like she had injuries in between her legs and it took me a lot to keep my care
~STORM I woke the next morning feeling quite determined I then made my way to the kitchen to get things done for me. I paused when I got to the door. Mia was in there. I then took a deep breath and turned back. I needed to search for Avire. I met her watering the garden and decided to move closer. "Avire I need your help," I said, grabbing her out of the garden.She dropped the water pipe to pay attention to me. "Is everything okay Luna?" She asked."We have to do something about Mia. She's currently in the kitchen so I need you to come watch over her as I check out her room." I told her and her eyes widened."You will investigate her room?" Avire was surprised knowing how much I didn't care about others' belongings."I have no choice. I doubt the guards will do better if I chose to send them instead." I said my concerns and she understood.We made our way back into the palace building and were about to get into her room when we heard some sound closing in. Without hesitation, we hi
~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
