Lawrence was for sure awaiting a reply from Camilla; her silence only prolonged his fear, and only a word from her would end his state of fear.“The whole pack needs me now, but when I needed them the most, they sent me out of time. I was sent out of the mansion, Lawrence,” she finally said, raising her voice and violently pointing her index finger at Lawrence as she spoke.“What do you want me to feel for them now?”They need a Luna now, and when I needed a family, they sent me away.” She lamented, and tears began to gather in her eyes.She was making her voice louder and louder as she spoke, demonstrating the pain she felt at every single word she spoke.Lawrence couldn't help but feel sorry for her; she looked so painted and was ready to make him understand this. Her feelings were beginning to cloud all of her actions as she stood up from her chair and took the glass cup that was on the table. She threw it to the ground.“Lawrence, you fucking don't know what I went through all th
Lawrence went straight to the mouthpiece of the moon goddess; he held him by his hand. The tension of the coming war was palpable in the room, and everyone stood there staring at Lawrence as he went to meet the mouthpiece. “Come with me,” he whispered to his ear as he directed him, holding his hand, and both of them left the room. He threw everyone in the living room into confusion; the elders who had already gathered could only imagine and wonder what Lawrence wanted to discuss with him that he couldn't discuss in their presence. They began to look at each other in confusion as Lawrence stepped out of their midst along with the mouthpiece.Albert opened his two hands as a sign of confusion while looking at a Gamma elder, who also looked surprised and confused at what Lawrence had just done.“What is the moon goddess saying about this war?" Lawrence asked the mouthpiece immediately as they entered an empty room. He was desperate for an answer, and it looked like it was only the mou
Lawrence took a deeper look at the picture that was presented to him. “I know he was killed by her driver," he said. He was becoming furious; he threw the file on the floor in anger. “I fucking know someone died at the scene; all I want to know is who sent him,” he yelled at them. He was getting pissed off and angry as a result of all that was happening; he needed to control himself though because all of the wolves were surprised by his outburst, and he noticed this.He had to be in their good books to get the best result from them concerning this investigation, so the feeling of comforting himself in their presence came upon him, and he had no choice but to mask all of his frustration.“What more did you find?” he asked Maxwell calmly, who was staring at him, surprised at his outburst, but he was there to serve Lawrence, so for sure Lawrence was going to get a response.“We picked up his phone from the police, and we are going to run some checks on it also to find out all of the p
Camilla wasn't having a good time with them anymore;; she was now concerned about Lawrence, and his troubles now seemed to be her major concerns.. AmidstAmidst her thoughts about Lawrence, her phone rang,rang, snapping her off her thoughts..She quickly picked it up to give the caller a listening ear.. She was moved by the fact that Lawrence was the one calling, and coinciding with the fact that she was also thinking about it, she didn't hesitate before answering.“The pack's future lies in your hands now,now, Camilla,” Lawrence said amid his efforts to still woo Camilla into the decision to come to the mansion..“I will be on my way shortly,” she replied without giving it much thought anymore. She dropped her phone into her bag, then stated:. “We will be on our way to the mansion now." now." LookingLooking at Mira and George as she spoke,Britney,Britney, after getting her head wrapped around what Camilla had just said, replied,, “I would go with you;; I don't trust those guys;; I w
Lawrence snapped himself out of all that Bella had just said to him; he didn't want to waste much time thinking of things that wouldn't aid his victory in the coming war anymore. If the reunion of his family were to be a light in their path to winning the war, then that should occupy his mind..His low level of interest in the affairs of Bella became evident as he quickly moved his gaze away from her, saying loudly to the hearing of everyone in the room: “Shall we proceed with every necessary rite so the moon goddess can smile at us?”He knew he would piss a couple of people off with this statement, but he didn't care, and giving any explanations for this wasn't a thing that was on his list.“We shall all proceed to the open field now for the rites to go,” the mouthpiece of the moon goddess said, directing them to move outside the house. They followed his instructions, and without hesitation, they all began to troop outside the mansion.There were opening of eyes as all of their face
All eyes were riveted on the doctor as he worked, his every move capturing the room’s collective breath and sight.His gestures towards Lawrence were magnetic, drawing every gaze.“We need privacy,” Lawrence declared loudly, his voice cutting through the tension. He gestured towards the door with a decisive wave for them to depart.One by one, everyone began filing out. Lawrence approached Britney and, speaking softly, said, “Make sure the kids are safe.” Britney nodded, gathering Mira and George, and they exited, leaving only Lawrence, the mouthpiece, and the doctor in the room.Camilla lay on the bed, eerily still. Lawrence’s frustration was palpable as he watched the doctor’s methodical examinations.“I don’t see anything wrong with her.” The doctor’s words seemed to defy the urgency of the situation.Lawrence’s face was twisted in disbelief. “Something is clearly wrong!” He stepped closer to Camilla, his voice rising in desperation. “Look at her! Does she look okay to you? Do somet
“I said, get away from her,” the mouthpiece commanded, his voice sharp and unyielding. Lawrence hesitated, his feet rooted to the spot as if the weight of the situation had turned him to stone. He took some steps backwards after some seconds of realizing what the mouth was saying. The mouthpiece wasted no time, striding directly to where Camilla lay motionless on the bed. With a swift glance, he placed a hand on her forehead, his expression tightening. Lawrence remained nearby, his gaze locked on the mouthpiece’s every move, a mix of fear and hope gnawing at his insides.“Her temperature is dangerously high,” the doctor murmured to the mouthpiece, urgency lacing his words. “We need to act immediately.”But the mouthpiece, focused and unwavering, barely acknowledged the doctor’s concerns. His attention was entirely on Camilla; his touch was gentle yet deliberate as he continued his assessment.“We don’t have much time,” the mouthpiece finally said, his voice carrying a gravity that se
"Whose side are you on, Grandma?" Luke asked as she approached him, walking briskly in his direction, his voice barely concealing the tension beneath.The rest of the crowd had fallen silent, their gazes darting between Luke and the imposing mansion, its doors closed tight as if guarding the secrets within. Some stood frozen, caught between the duty of following the orders that the doctor had laid out for them and the curiosity gnawing at them."Do you think I've chosen sides between you two?" His grandmother replied, her voice calm but carrying an edge that hinted at deeper layers of thought.Luke held her gaze, the weight of unspoken words pressing down on him. "Do you have to choose a side?" he asked, his voice quieter now, almost pleading. A soft smile played on her lips as she answered, "Let's focus on the present, Luke. There are more pressing matters to discuss. My choice won’t even change what’s destined to happen when the full moon rises, which would determine the fate of th
