SASHA VAHEMIR "How is Mrs Bahedia?", I ask one of the servants. "She is in her room", she answers. "Open the door", the door opens and I enter inside. She is peacefully lying down, her room is tidy and there is food for her on a stool at the end of the bed. There is a table and chair at the end of the room and a min fridge below the table. I walk to her and place my hand on her neck and notice she is having fever. Her body is hot. I roll my eyes, I really wanted to have fun. I had a million torture mapped out in my head but seeing her now, seeing her in this state I can't help but pity her. The moment she acted like a mother to me when I visited her plays in my head and I am conflicted. I am struck between discipline her for every heart ache I felt, discipline her for raising such horrible kids and treating her the best I can and repay her for been kind to me. I play with my mouth and look away when I came to a conclusion. I swirl and the servant bowed her head. "Get my study
AIDEN BAHEDIA "Future Alpha, the Luna is home", one of the guards announces to me after I gave him the instructions to come into my room. I jump out of my bed and outside my room, through the hallway, down the stairs and I halt when I see my mum hale and hearty. My lips widen into a smile as I run to her and engulf her in my embrace. She doesn't pull away, she hugs me tight and I am immediately grateful to Sasha. "I don't understand. You are not to come back until next tomorrow. Why? And you are stronger. I don't understand", I pull away and she caresse my cheek and I shut my eyes as I enjoy the feeling of her hand on my cheeks. "Let your mum rest-" "Rest? No need for rest, Davil and Mrs El Mushacr took really good care of me. And perhaps there will be no rest for me until after the wedding", my dad places his hand on her back and leads her to the sofa as they both sit down. "Which wedding?", I arch an eyebrow in an honest confusion. "Your wedding, silly", mum places her head
SASHA VAHEMIR Everyone is seated in the dinning room waiting for food to be served. Beatrice is back and bruised. I wish they held her for a day longer, I need a little time to soak up the peace and quiet. Mr and Mrs Bahedia is seated at Aiden's left hand while Seb, Beatrice and Alex are sitting at my right hand side. Why haven't the food been brought yet and why are their eyes fixated on me? Were they waiting for me to arrival before instructing the maids to cook? Mrs Bahedia coughs before speaking, "Sasha darling, are you just waking up?" "Yes, Mrs Bahedia", they all shut their eyes and look away disappointed. "Am I missing something? Should I have woken up by 2am? I don't understand" "How would you? You wanted to become a Luna so fast without realizing the responsibilities that comes with it. Who knew you were not only powerless but daft as well -" "Aiden-" "It is Alpha now, Alex. I should be addressed as Alpha", Aiden shoots and everyone is surprised at his outburst and I
Aiden Bahedia "Where are you?", Davil asks me on phone as I walk down the curvy stairs excitedly. I am excited that I will get to see Davil and mum. I miss my bed and my life back home. When I go home, I'd go to club later in the evening. I miss that alot. The voices are starting to get really loud. I see Aiden seated with his legs crossed and newspaper in his hands. He seems to be engrossed in whatever he is reading that he doesn't acknowledge my presence and I am grateful. I walk to the door and the guards stop me from getting through, they obstruct me. I bite my lips and let out a deep breath hoping it is enough to ease off the anger I am feeling. I spurn around and I walk over to Aiden. I grab the newspaper from his hand and tear it and place my hands on my waist. He gives me death stares and I ignore it. "Tell your henchmen to let me out-" "Why?" "I don't need to tell you where I am headed to-" "Okay then ", I pull him by his shirt and he stares blankly at me and then h
Aiden Bahedia "Hey Bahedia", Davil startles me as I take my usual stroll around the mansion. I tilt my head and see him comfortably seated. He is too comfortable for a visitor, his legs are crossed as he sips a glass of blood, beside him is no one other than Sasha. Her lips is growing a wide smile. She really loves getting on my nerves and I can't even hide how irritating her presence is and how much I loathe her smiles. They are both seated at the garden under a shade. With different glass of blood and half cooked chicken. Behind both of them are guards, I sigh and sit. I wasn't given a heads up. This is my territory. The fact that your sister is bearing my last name does not give you the liberty to disrespect me. "Calm down, Bahedia. I am not here to fight. We are in laws now", he grins and I cast a sidelong glance. "That is how he is, Brother. His guard is always up when he is around us. One will think he is scared or maybe it is something kids of nowadays call it, inferiority
SASHA VAHEMIR "Stand up from there", mum urges as I lie on the bed, my legs spread wide open. "Why must you act like a child? Davil drag your sister off the bed", mum stroll back and makes way for Davil who jumps on my body making me Yelp and turn to the side while holding unto my stomach, it stings. "How did I tell a child to help out a child?", she rolls her eyes and hiss. I and Davil exchange stares and tried to stifle our laughter in order to prevent mummy from scolding us even more. I sit up and Davil rest his head on my laps while I play with his hair. "Mum, come on. We missed her -" "She just got married three days ago. Don't encourage her-" "You missed her too. You enter her room every day and call out to her to join us for breakfast, lunch and dinner -" "That was just the day after her wedding -" "And the day after that. You know, mum woke me up yesterday to hurry up because she was worr-", one of my throw pillows hit Davil, I tilt m
Aiden "She needs to be stopped" Seb's mum laments as we are in the waiting room waiting for the doctor who is operating on him to inform us of how it went. Everyone one is seated as our heart threatens to fall off our chest in anticipation. "He started it though. She warned him-" "If you don't have anything sensible to say shut up. Yes we all know you are obsessed with her and is willing to walk on hot coal for her", Beatrice shuns him as she taps her feet and shakes her leg in anxiousness. "Why do you care all of a sudden? I thought you told him you can not reciprocate his love. So why do you act like you are a couple -" "Alex-" "No mum, I am tired of her acting all high and mighty. This started because of you Beatrice. Sasha loved you, she adored you and took you as her sister but what did she get in return. You stabbed a knife right through her, what did you expect -" "You don't know shit -" "Tell us, we never got the opportunity to ask. Why not tell us now that we are all
SASHA VAHEMIR I open my eyes and turn and open my eyes and sit up. I stretch and yawn, I search around the room I don't see any of the maids around. I am thankful. I don't have to worry about them knowing at my uneven eye color. I stand up and walk to the bathroom. ***** I walk down the stairs, I catch Aiden reading a news paper. Are we not eating breakfast? I am starving. I walk to the dinning room and it is neat, no trace that food was eaten there and I walk to the kitchen same thing. I don't understand. Did they eat and forget I am in this house. I stumble to the living room. I snatch the newspaper but he is faster, he takes the newspaper from my hand gaze dead into my eyes, ready for what is to come. "Where are the maids and I wasn't called down for breakfast. Why?" "About that? No special treatment will be given to you anymore. If you can't wake up early in the morning to join us for breakfast, you won't eat until lunch is prepared or better still you can make breakfast fo
SASHA VAHEMIR The page flips and end at a certain page, and I understand. It is the evil presence in my room trying to communicate with me. "The individual conjuring the spell must make a pact and sacrifice something they love to ensure the wicked of evil spirit don't possess the body", I translate to English as I read it aloud. "What do you need?"I ask no one and every spirit around, and the page flips backwards, and it stops at a certain page, and the subheading is written 'HUMANITY'. "If I come back in one piece, I'd give you more than my humanity" I promise, and the candle lights on its own. The page flips to the page of reliving ones memories and life history. Why am I making pact with the spirit? I am seeing things that are ikely to happen as a newborn or while mum was pregnant with me. And I am staying longer than usual, so many evil spirits roam and search for an available host, and I need a little backup...... more like a little protection. Do I trust the
AIDEN BAHEDIA Ever since Sasha's appearance the pack as been in disarray and it is hard calming everyone one downing seeing as the person we are going to war with is the coven and Sasha Vahemir. With a threat like hers it shouldn't be taken lightly. Would I have the heart to fight against the woman I love? The answer is no but love is never enough. We must fulfill our duties to our people now. As I walk to my parents room to talk to my dad, I hear my parents argue. I halt to hear what the fight is about so I know how to tackle it. "You knew?", Dad asks in utter shock and disgust. "Oh I knew. They needed to dethrone her and her father won't bulge. Her dad would have been a big threat to our revolution so we used his daughters discovery against him and it worked. They promised me security, he promised me things and he kept to it. They waited patiently until she was old enough. But they made sure we started breaking her as she got a little older. Do I hate her personal? No but
SASHA VAHEMIR There is laughter, jubilations as we feast because of Tash's new born. He has been carrying his child. He refuses to let the child feel the warmth of another. Abigail has been smiling but with a glint of sadness or is it.....regret? She has been brewing with laughter as she stares at her husband and her son. She must be proud of Tash. She really hit a jackpot. "It will be me soon", Tasha's excited voice whispers into my ear from behind me and I spurn and hold her in my arms and she laughs. "You are in your feels. Not bad Sasha. Not bad", I push her away lately pretending to be angry and she comes back into my arms, she uses my hand to wrap around her herself while I act all stubborn and non chalant. "Come on. I am your only sibling. I should be given special treatment", I lock my hands with her at my middle. She is the split image of the woman in the limbo but alot younger. Why is that so? Someone nudge me and I tilt my neck to the side and I see Victo
SASHA VAHEMIRI stare at the card in my hands and everyone I love are circling me, everyone except Davil. I don't know how to feel about any of these. I don't know why I can't feel anything. It is like I have lost my ability to feel. It is like the pain became to much for me to bear so my brain shut down my ability to feel. Tasha is sitting beside me as she holds my arm. They all stare at me with pity in their eyes. He is marrying his mistress two days after I signed the divorce. I don't know how I should feel about this. "If you don't go I won't", Tasha rest her head on my shoulder after speaking. "Say the word and we will all stay back", Tash utters. I should go. I will attend the wedding. I want to know how quick it is for him to throw everything we both shared out like it didn't happen. I want to know if there will be any trace of guilt in his eyes when he says his vow to the woman he had sex with right before me. "I will attend the wedding", I place my han
AIDEN BAHEDIA I knock at the door. My chest aches so much and I know it isn't from me. It is from Sasha. The door opens and Sasha's eyes are red like she has been crying. She just opens the door and walks towards the bed, no hug, no kisses, nothing. "You okay?", I ask and she just ignores me and sit on the bed as she bites her lips as tears fall. I look at the tiles and I see the test result and I sigh. She saw it. I kneel before her and hold her hand and she shakes her hand off mine. She is angry. Please not now Sasha. Please. "I told you we can't have kid-" "Did you ever want a child? Because that is the vibe I am getting off you", she spits out and I lose my cool. "That is harsh. Yes I want kids with yo-" "Oh stop those lies. You heard I couldn't give birth and you stopped trying. You didn't ask if it could be reversed. You left me to mourn our child on my own. I begged you to stay, if you had stayed I will still be carrying our child. I wasn't important
SASHA BAHEDIA I wake up in the morning to an empty bed, body pain and a cold weather. I rub my eyes and stand up and I stretch before leaving the bed. I don't see Aiden around. Did he just leave after having an aggressive sex that felt so much like a goodbye? I just sigh and check my phone incase he sent a message. I check and I see a message from him, it reads; I went out for some urgent work and I won't be around until later today. The maids are at your service. I called Tasha to keep you company. I love you so much and take care of yourself. I walk to the bathroom to take my bath. I come out of the closet wearing a black short on one of Aiden's big red shirt and my slippers and I bump into an excited Tasha. She hugs me and then pull away. She draws my hand towards the bed and we both sit down. "So I have something fun planned for us. Today is for just us. We get to talk and catch up", Tasha squeeze my hand and nod. "So let us get going", she stands up and drag me
AIDEN BAHEDIAAs my wife waltz in, she runs into my arms and hugs me so tight and I know something is wrong but I don't ask. She would tell if she wants me finding out. I lead her to our room and all we do is cuddle in my arms until she fell asleep. What did you do Taet? "Baby? Let us try to have another baby", her voice is low but catches me off guard. "Baby gir-" "Please", she holds unto my chest and the straddle around me as she plant kisses over my face. I gently push her off me and lay her down beside me. She sits up and arch an eyebrow waiting for an explanation. Why these sudden behavior? She came home sad and disturbed and now she wants kids. Did she forget when I said we can't have kids? "Stop please. I am not having sex because I want kids. I can have sex because you want it or I want you. But for kids that is nonesense talk. Stop making it hard to accept that I can't have a kid", I feel my anger slowly rise and I stand to my feet and turn my back
SASHA BAHEDIA "This isn't the Darcs castle", I speak up when taet and I enters my room. We are at a hotel. At the outskirt of Dahmatra. I spurn to Taet as I wait for an explanation. "There is a protective spell hovering around this hotel so no word said here gets out. We can't take the risk of talking about this when people are around. We don't know who to trust. So I suggested this. Don't worry we are not staying in the same ro-", he walks down the hall and opens a door. I walk behind him and he opens and say under his breath in Italian, "Un solo lavoro Veda, un solo lavoro" I laugh when I see what she did. I and Taet will be sharing the same bathroom. Taet couldn't even look at me and I just smile. "It is fine. We just have to knock whenever we want to use the toilet", I try to calm him down. "We will meet back in your room in five minutes", he shuts his door and I hear him cuss and I just smile stupidly.**** His room is very simple just a bed, cen
SASHA BAHEDIA I open the door of our room and look out the window and I see both men turning their back against each other. Aiden speaks and then walks towards the building. Davil swirl and looks at Aiden and smiles at him. He is proud of him but I wonder why. Davil looks up and I wave and Davil waves before entering his car. I watch his car leave and my chest aches. He didn't think I needed comforting, is it because he wanted me to pick up myself with any help from him. Is it because now isn't the time for some pity party? Is it because he is happy he took a little of his pound of flesh and didn't see the need to pretend? I really want him hugging me and assuring to bring the culprit the justice but he can't because that involves bringing himself to justice. Do I want that? I really hope this makes you feel better because it is does I will gladly watch you ruin me. "Sorry I took l-", I feel Aiden's hand wrap around my waist his head on my shoulder and he kisses my c
