68. ATTA GIRL

The vigil was a beautifully resplendent, and a truly elaborate ceremony.

Well as beautiful as a funeral ceremony could be anyway.

The entire pack was up between the wee hours of dawn and midnight old and young alike, dressed in formal attires of midnight black with no trace of any other colour... just as werewolf culture demanded.

Candles lit up the grand courtyard, just enough to provide some light as the healer, who had thankfully made it back in time for the ceremony gave the final words and performed the concluding rights, but it did not matter anyway... was not really needed. The moon gave just enough light, its ivory coloured illuminance making the whole presentation almost otherworldly, blending in with the golden light of candles and the dark midnight of clothes to create a harmonious explosion of colour.

And then all the candle lights were turned off, the huge, elegant pyre set up.

The names of the dead were mentioned, and then they were placed on the pyre as t

    “How are you feeling, child?” Alpha Joffrey asked his only child almost an hour to the handing over ceremony. He had summoned her into his personal chambers for a chat, an act that he had not done in a very, very long time. As a matter of fact, Aiyisha could practically count the number of times that had happened all through her life on just one hand, and she was pretty sure a few fingers would have even been left if she did.The last thing she had expected him to ask when she had come before his presence was how she was feeling... not once in a million years had that thought even crossed her mind.Perhaps, if he had said he had changed his mind on handing her the position and decided to give it to someone else instead, then sure... that was something she would not put past him, but this? This father seeming genuinely interested in his daughter’s wellbeing and feelings?This was definitely going to take some getting used to for sure.“I—I’m fine, father... I should be the one asking

    CHAPTER 70- EXPOSED “Adua, come on... you need to take your lessons seriously. You surely do not want to be a maid forever, do you?” Yelena shot her friend a pointed look as she glared at her in frustration. They were going through some grammar books in the library that warm Sunday afternoon, with Yelena filling in for Aiyisha now that the woman had other far grand responsibilities to attend to. She had been enjoying the lessons when they had started, but now it looked like her friend’s concentration had drastically diminished, and for the love of her, she did not know what to do to rekindle it. “No you come on, Yelena... but what be wrong wif being a maid? I be okay wif my station. I am happy.” The chubby brunette grinned beautifully for emphasis. “That is not the point, Adua...” The violet eyed girl insisted, “...becoming more fluent in English will give you a better paying job, and then you will earn more money to live a comfortable life.” “I can marry,” Adua wiggled her eyebrow

    CHAPTER 71- CLAIMING HER AS HIS“B—but that is impossible, Aiyisha,” Retired Alpha, Joffrey von Sterling stuttered in disbelief.“Oh, but it very much is possible, father...” She said coolly, and then turning to the girl in question, she ordered, “Now, why don’t you tell him how true that is, Yelena?”Tears stood in the brunette haired wolf’s eyes as she mourned her relationship with the female Alpha before her secret had been found out. As it was now, she did not think it would be restored back in any way. Even she could see how the whole thing looked— hiding such a huge thing as being the old retired Alpha’s daughter.— What else could it be for if she truly did not have ill intentions?It did not even matter that that was not the case… that was most certainly not how she was going to come across in the eyes of anyone who heard the story.“It is true my lord... you are my father,” She admitted at the female Alpha’s cold push, her eyes downcast in respect and sadness, but all she got

    CHAPTER 72- PREPARATIONS “Now who would have thought it?” Kendra mused out loud in reference to Yelena and Aiyisha being siblings as she dug into her chicken with relish. Her mouth was stuffed even as she spoke, a bush act, yes she knew... one that would have probably had her kicked from human society had she been in their midst for sure, but she was pretty sure her friends did not mind. Not much, at least. Or at least that was what she hoped. And as for her mate, if the mesmerised way he was staring at her was any indication, he did not mind at all. She and Killian had rather been cooped up in his room the whole of yesterday, seeing as he had had some unfulfilled promises to deliver on (Pleasuring her senseless, among other things), but unfortunately for them, they seemed to have missed out on quite a lot, starting with Yelena being Aiyisha’s sister. It was funny, how all the juicy stuff waited for them to be absent before deciding to happen. “Actually, I would have thought it,” S

    CHAPTER 73- THE RED MOON By five o’clock in the evening, the entire skies were already dark with night. Birds of the sky, confused by the sudden darkness, littered the skies, fleeing to their homes where they would safely spend the night. Bats on the other hand came out with relish, not knowing what was happening, but glad that they had the cover of darkness to go about their nocturnal activities. Everyone in Dnakle was on edge, from the oldest of wolves to even the littlest of pups. “It is not going to be good, Aiyisha…” Yelena tsked in despair as she looked up at the skies for what was most probably the hundredth time that night. They had kept everyone as hidden from the quickly darkening moon as possible, making sure that those who did not want to find partners were sent straight down to the grandiose basement. What was the point in keeping them above ground where they would just be more numbers for casualties? “Are you looking to find a partner tonight?” The younger wolf asked h

    CHAPTER 74- THE RED MOON- (part 2) A bush of dark red rose flowers. Now, Killian did not remember seeing those the last time he was here, and while he was no plant enthusiast, he was pretty sure that he could identify a rose bush when he saw one… even if it hadn’t blossomed yet. Nothing like that had been here. Something about them seemed truly ominous. Perhaps, it was how very dark red they were… so dark that they reminded him of the blood that flowed through his veins…the very same blood that had literally flowed on the plains a couple of days ago. Or perhaps, it had something to do with the fact that they seemed to have grown and blossomed overnight. Now, don’t get me wrong— it was not as though the Alpha without a pack was afraid of blood in anyway… far from it, but he just had a bad feeling… hated the way at the sight of the flowers, blood was the first thing that came to his mind. But the thing was that he had never seen roses that dark red, and the colour had unnerved him

    CHAPTER 75- IN APHRODITE'S GRIP “You have won it all, Aphrodite… you have won.” For some reason, those were the only words that kept flowing from the Alpha’s lips as he mourned his now cold mate. She looked as though she was only stuck in a deep sleep, her wolf’s snout slightly opened, and her coffee brown thick fur cool to the touch. It was almost as though she were going to wake up any second from now and laugh in his face… mocking him for thinking it was the last he was going to see of her and telling him that it had all been some sick, stupid joke. To think that he was not going to see that lovely smile that always lit up her face again. He was not even going to see her beautiful hair that had him mesmerised no matter what style it was in… whether it was a messy or a neat bun atop her head, or whether it had been intricately chignoned or just left alone to flow down her back in waves… nor was he going to hear her voice that was someway somehow like music to his ears even if sh

    CHAPTER 76- APHRODITE’S PROMISEA loud growl was the only warning it issued, and then the white lone wolf was charging towards the Goddess of Love in fury and righteous vengeance. It was in that moment that Alpha Killian Silvercrest realised just how much the Lunar Goddess had been fighting on his behalf in the shadows, how she had stayed true to her word, offering him her protection even though for the love of him, he could not think of anythingje had done to deserve such honour. Even Aphrodite, who normally seemed to be unfazed by anything actually did a double take on this one, for she instantly changed into a brilliant white dove, just managing to evade the angry wolf’s clutches by sheer luck.“Easy, Mene… you have got to learn to take a joke sometimes,” Killian heard the Goddess of Love say in a sing-song voice… which was kind of crazy when you looked at it, because, she was technically an animal… but the Alpha without a pack was quickly learning that in the world of the supernat

    CHAPTER 84- BLOODY FUCKING HELL (Epilogue) One week later “No! I do not believe you.” This time Katie, our busty blond from chapter one was the one doing all the exclaiming, her heavy breasts swinging from side to side as she shook her head in disbelief at her friend Jen’s incredible tale, “You are lying.” “Why would I lie about such a thing?” Jen huffed in annoyance at the accusation, “I saw it with my own eyes. The Alpha’s daughter has a golden birthmark right where her heart should be.” “H—how did you even manage that? No one is even allowed near their nursery for crying out loud.” “Well… let us just say that I have my ways, but do you understand what that means?” She whispered conspiratorially, “She really has a heart of gold. Just like Aphrodite had proclaimed.” But Jen was not convinced. “Perhaps it is not what you think… maybe it is just a birthmark and nothing more. But if it truly is, then I—I do not understand… h—how would that even work?” The skinny redhead tried to w

    83. LABOR “What does a heart of gold even mean, Kendra?” Artemis Landon asked as they discussed the issue again, confusion very much apparent in her green eyes as she played with her friend’s hair. “You think she meant it in the literal sense?” Kendra shook her head as she pondered over the question, the same one that had been on hers and everyone else’s mind since news of her pregnancy had spread. “I honestly do not think so… that would just be preposterous, you know? Not to talk about being practically impossible.” She rubbed her rapidly protruding stomach fondly, “Perhaps Aphrodite meant one of my children would be kind-hearted?” “Perhaps.” Artemis conceded, her eyes bright with amusement at Aphrodite’s cunning ways. Three months had passed since Kendra and Killian’s union, and it had been nothing but absolute bliss… even though Aphrodite’s prophecy had had them thinking. The grandiose ceremony had been an unforgettable one, with so much pomp and splendour that was unlikely to

    Yellow flickering lights lit up the expansive outdoors right behind the Silver Crest Pack house. As a matter of fact, Kendra had to do a double take when she looked around, for even she could barely recognise the place. Morgana and whoever had chipped in to help had really done wonders on this one. A beautiful bride. That was what Kendra was, dressed in sheer, white silk that was in no way modest… and yet she was the epitome of delicateness and innocence— two words Kendra could say she was not really familiar with. She felt like one too—a beautiful bride, that is—as her nanny, Rhea led her through the parted crowd. Howls announced her entrance instead of the normal wedding chants and bells, and her feet bore no shoes… Yes, Kendra was no ordinary bride. She and Killian were practically already married, but if she was being honest, there was just something about doing things the right way that had her feeling… fulfilled. That had her feeling new again, refilled with the beauty and

    “What do you mean by we are having it tonight?” Killian voiced out his confusion. “Tonight will definitely not be possible, Morgana,” Kendra joined in. “How are we going to get ready in just six hours? There’s a whole lot to do… invites have not even been sent out—” “Woah, woah, woah guys… don’t shoot the messenger?” The Silver Witch tried to calm them down, “Listen to everything I have to say first at least before freaking out.” When she was sure that her words had gotten to them and they had calmed down, she continued, “The ceremony is going to be in two parts, the secret session which will be held only in front of your entire pack, and the grand session which would take place on any day of your choosing. You can invite anyone you would like for that one.” “I see. It’s not so bad then,” Kendra agreed, adjusting her share of the covers as she sat up in the huge bed. “See? I told you it is not.” Morgana replied, “However… there’s one little part that perhaps, you two might find un

    80. THE ANNOYING INTERRUPTION Almost two weeks had passed since the Silver Crest Pack returned to their territory and they had pretty much returned to their former glory already—if not most definitely surpassed it, that is.Killian had been made head of the werewolf Council, and already, plans were underway to regroup the small werewolf communities into much larger groups so they could be better protected. Not only that, but the communities had been receiving grain and aid while the plans were being drawn out, and they were also being guarded in case of emergencies like an unexpected attack.Truly, it had been a stressful, but fruitful two weeks. So busy that Killian had barely had the time to see his mate… or even rest with her, yet alone to talk of having a quick tumble in the sheets. The Alpha was agitated, his wolf even more so… for all he wanted was to relax with Kendra in bed, talking at least, if not doing anything else.But with power came an even greater responsibility.The

Their confusion quickly turned into annoyance though, for when Tyrone reached them—his own Beta, Patrick in tow, his angry countence quickly disappeared, and he began to burst into loud laughter instead. “H—how I wish an artist could have captured your faces in a painting. I was just joking. ” He wheezed in amusement, turning to his beta who was for the sake of Kendra and Killian trying real hard to keep a straight face. “I guess my acting skills did pay off after all.” He said. “This is not funny, Tyrone.” Kendra voiced out her displeasure, “I cannot even believe I missed this,” She muttered under her breath to Killian’s hearing, but Tyrone heard her too. “Ouch.” A hand went against his chest as though he had been wounded by her words, “I am going to ignore all of that

    CHAPTER 78- THE JOURNEY BACKThe send-off party had been a truly wonderful blast.It had gone on deep into the wee hours of dawn, ensuring that the Alpha and his mate did not go back to bed for a brief moment of shut-eye even. Instead, they had headed straight into a provided carriage almost immediately after the ceremony had ended, waving their goodbyes to the crowd that had come to see them off after they had said their special goodbyes to Aiyisha and her sister, Yelena, Sanjit and Leray and the old couple, Saul and Rida. They had even bid the old, annoying, retired Alpha a special goodbye before they left, for despite his bad side, he had not cast them out of his pack when they had come to him for help. Honestly speaking, the two would have just been content with two horses as their parting gift which they would have had had returned once they retrieved their own horses from Désirée’s tavern— but Aiyisha would have none of it, insisting that she wanted to send them off in true Dna

By twelve noon, everything was done… and preparations were being put in place for Killian and Kendra’s surprise send-off party before they left for Silver Crest.Oh yes. It was going to be the party of the year in Dnakle. But will all those light thoughts aside, in all truth, Aiyisha had really been worried for her two friends yesterday. She had seen how worried they had been when dusk had set in yesterday… had seen how that worry had increased with each darkening turn of the moon… hell, sh had seen how even they had not believed that they were out of the woods yet. And from all they had told her, with regards to how Aphrodite had killed Kendra and then restored back her life, to how they were now officially in the clear and all, Aiyisha could not help but
