~STORM

I 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.

    ~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

  • Claiming the Moon   Chapter 30: I DON'T LOVE YOU

    ~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"Is it that spiritual?" I asked. "Yes, Luna. It's that spiritual and she knows." The high priestess confirmed."Whoever did this to the Alpha is an unlucky soul! Watch out for the drama that will unfold in the palace sooner." That voice chanted in my head and I froze.The high priestess from the Black Rock Pack had whispered that in my ear while I was seeing her off days ago.Was this what she meant? I felt pained as I then quickly got up and left with Avire. Tears filled my eyes as I then cleaned it gently. I hated that I had to cry because of my enemies every single time.When we got closer to the palace gate, I mindlinked the whole pack and instructed that everyone should gather in the hall.We soon got into the palace and Avire went to ensure no one was sleeping or doing anything else while I made my way into my bedroom and saw my alpha looking through a file. "Didn't you feel the link I sent around?" I asked."We aren't mated, Stormy." He reminded me."I need to show you

    ~STORMThis was something I definitely never expected. I staggered backward as I watched her pay for her own sins with death.So she isn't Mia? I then felt a sudden headache and had to hold my head. "Luna, are you okay?" Avire screamed holding me. Kieran ran towards me and lifted me as he then took me to the bedroom.I woke up a few hours later and soaked myself in the bathtub. I was yet to believe my eyes. After showering, I walked into the Alpha's chamber and met Kieran there with Ian. "I will have to return.""No Luna we are done!" Ian said as his Alpha dismissed him."What are you doing about the issue? We have to find Mia." I said to him and he agreed."The warriors are out already. Once they find a lead, we will all go out in one accord to bring her back. After all, she is one of us." He said to me and I agreed."Thank you!" I said and turned to leave but then he grabbed my arm. "Is there an issue?" I asked."No, I just need to talk to you." He said sounding more quiet than he u

    ~STORM"Excuse me?" I was finding it hard to process what he had just said. Was that his good morning to me? Hell nah! "I think it's too early for this Kieran," I said and got out of bed to get into the bathroom. When I stepped out in a white towel, I was surprised to see that he was still in my room. Sitting in my room wasn't something I was used to seeing him do. "You know I would appreciate it if you enrolled me in another academic program. That way, I get a lot more to deal with outside you. You are just a pain in the ass." "I didn't bring you to this town to run away from me. I brought you to suffer from me." He spat and I rolled my eyes. He got closer to me and I felt sweat dripping out of my back. "What? Scared now?" "Kieran, I don't know what you want from me, but this is just unfair," I told him, my feet moving back from the tension. I wasn't enjoying this so-called union. "How about I just get married to a human here." "No human wants a werewolf." He chuckled and that rem

    ~STORMI looked up and was stunned to see how he was grabbed. My brows furrowed. I had no idea how we were able to get into our room, but by the time I was in, tears already filled my eyes. What if it was me in that position? I felt crazy in that instant. I had no idea that people could get tracked like that. I then went on social media and looked through the school's news forum and what I saw got me crying already. "What's wrong honey?" Bella asked me and I showed her my phone. Apparently, the reason Marcus got tracked was because he was responsible for feeding on innocent humans who were also students of the school. "Holy shit! Does it mean he was going to kill us, too, if we had given him our body?" "I guess that was his plan. But it's quite hard to get these werewolves. He must have gotten spied on and exposed to the hunters." She said and that struck at my heart. I took a deep breath, hoping that what I was thinking was nowhere near the truth and that Marcus had actually gott

  • Claiming the Moon   Chapter 110: WE DID IT!

    ~STORMIt's been three weeks since the exam, and in three days, Bella and I will be having our final exam. I stood at the door of my hostel wondering what to do with my life as I was so bored. Bella had gone on some dare just to feel good. I got tired and walked inside the room, picked up a good book, and looked through it. Exams had been fine, so we'll even though the days were never as cool as they should be. I looked through several pages and suddenly heard a knock on my door. I got up and quickly went to open it. On seeing who was there, I was surprised. "Wow Cass!" I exclaimed and quickly hugged him tightly. "How are you, dear Storm? Is Bella home?" He asked me. I froze for a second wondering what to tell him. "Yes, she is around, but just inside at the moment. Come in please." I said leaving the way for him to pass through. He walked inside the house and sat on the couch close to Bella's bed while I sat on my bed. "How have exams been?" He asked looking at me. "It's been gre

    ~STORM"Bella, we need to get back to our hostel room first, okay," I said to her, and together, with our heads lowered to the floor, we ran into the midst of the crowds and into the hostel. It took us minutes and when we were finally able to get in, I couldn't thank the moon goddess enough. "I think something is not right with the environment," I said to her and she nodded her head while trying to catch her breath. "Has something like this happened before?" "I think it's the werewolf hunters and some of their targets. These folks are causing drama around the school environment." She explained to me and I froze. Werewolf hunters again? If so then I was at risk minutes ago. This got me really scared for a moment but I tried to look calm so Bella wouldn't notice a thing. I wasn't being judgemental towards the hunters anymore though. I had seen what a werewolf could do to a complete human who probably never deserved that. Even back in the packs, some rogues just wanted every sligh

    ~STORM"I'm Storm! What do you want from me, Marcus?" I questioned him and he smirked. "I like you!" He said straightforwardly. I froze. "You said you..." "And I can protect you too. All you have got to do is give me a chance." He said to me, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. I got up and in that instant, I made my way back to the room. Placing my head on the bed, I fell asleep, and when I woke up the next morning, I realized I had nothing much to do that day. I had the urge to go back home but to whom? "Girl, how about we just do something fun? I feel bored?" Bella said to me and I laughed. "Something like what?" I asked her, and she got into my thoughts. "I have no idea but there is a party tonight. Would you like to attend it?" She asked me and I thought about it for a while. "Don't you think it's a bad idea though? We have an exam tomorrow." I told her and she shrugged. "We have an exam by noon. Not really in the morning. We can return earlier since it will be happeni

    ~STORM"That's a good idea!" I responded and got up. After putting on something really nice that evening, we made our way out of the hostel and headed out of the gate. The moon was stepping out already but still dull at the moment and though I felt the pull, I didn't let it overshadow me at that moment. I stayed strong till we got out of the school gate. "Girl, can you see that?" Bella suddenly pulled me and I stopped to look. "Oh my gosh!" She exclaimed and when my eyes caught what she was seeing, I froze in shock. Close to the school gate was the body of a young boy on the floor. "Is he dead?" I asked and ran to go see. Bella ran to see with me and when we checked him out without touching him, we kinda agreed that he was dead. "He must be a student of the school. But who would do this?" Bella cried and brought out her phone to call the police. I looked through his body, and suddenly, my eyes caught a bite mark on his neck. I held my chest in fright. Shit! A werewolf has bitten h

    ~STORMGosh! How the hell am I here? I thought and quickly left the room to mine. I couldn't sleep anymore and just kept rolling all over my bed space till it was morning. I rushed into the bathroom to have a warm bath, and when I returned to my room, Kieran was seated on my bed in my room. I flinched on seeing him. "What the actual fuck are you doing in here?" I asked him and he smirked. "You were in my room yesterday. I didn't ask that." He said to me and I couldn't help but roll my head. "I never asked to be in there. You took me there anyways." I told him, and he laughed and got up, coming closer to me while I moved backward. "It's not like you never liked being there. I hate it when you try to act like you aren't." He said to me and started looking deeply at me. I felt very uncomfortable and tried to cover myself up better, but he wouldn't let me ask. Each time I raised the towel, he would try to put it down. "This is improper." "Touching my wife is improper? What kind of a

    ~STORM"You wanna succeed in it? I thought you didn't care." He said to me and I rolled my eyes. "Of course, I had always cared about this. What are you even talking about?" I asked him and watched as he got up after eating and left. I sat there feeling very frustrated and decided to just be my best self this period. Life was kinda back to normal, and to be honest, I was just doing everything to stay low-key. I walked into the classroom with Bella and saw that she seemed to be looking better. "What's up?" I asked in her ears and she grinned. "I feel better." She replied and held my hand. After lectures, I decided to go spend some time with her in her hostel, and when I sat on the bed, I watched her walk to her table and touch the whole place, including her mirror. "I miss a lot! But I'm glad I'm where I am right now. I love it here." She muttered. I looked up wondering what she meant by that. "You are being a little bit dramatic here. Tell me what I don't know." "Right! I have h

    ~STORMThere was no doubt that I was really surprised to see Bella. I got out of the chair in my room and made my way to her. "I missed you like crazy," I said hugging her really tight. "Hmmm, that's a really nice thing to say to me anyway." She replied and kissed me on the cheek. "How is your grandma?" I asked her and she smiled. "I will make time to come see her soon. Maybe after our examination." I said to her and quickly walked to the table in my room and started closing every book that I was looking at minutes ago. "That's just alright honey. I heard the exam will get started in a week. She hasn't even prepared right for it. I fear that we may fail." She said to me and it was then it dawned on me. "I don't know what to do right now, but I can think," I muttered, thinking. "How about you come to be with me until the exam is over?" She asked me, and after thinking about that for minutes, I thought it made sense. But on the other hand, if Kieran was going to give me the chanc
