She scoffed. This wasn't solely her fault. Raymond lacked oversight too. He failed to notice that Alexis hadn't died."You only attacked her with wolfsbane" he said "You didn't confirm if she was dead. That was your careless mistake""And you're innocent? You didn't also confirm. I agree I was with her. I attacked her and she bled and stopped moving. What did you want me to think? That she was paralyzed instead of dead?" She fumed at him"Amber, that's it! That's what I'm referring to. You lack meticulosity""What do you mean? Aren't we in the same situation? You are not blameless because you made the same mistake I made" She argued."I didn't" he disagreed. "I only acted upon the impression you gave me. You made me think she was dead" Amber could attest to that. She panicked so much when Alexis stopped moving. Anyone who was with her would think that Alexis was dead. She was sure Alexis died at her hands. But it turned out that she didn't die after all.That girl who sat on Calvin'
Davina woke up early. In fact, she'd been waking up early since she arrived at this universe. She found it difficult to sleep soundly as she tried to get used to the new environment, but it didn't bother her much because she had always been a morning person.All she had to do was press a small button in her room if she wanted help from any of the omegas but she didn't press any button even if she needed help because she figured they'd still be sleeping by now.Not knowing what to do to busy herself on such an early morning, she covered herself with some clothes and quietly stepped out of her room. She was going to take a stroll round the environment. She hoped she wouldn't get lost because this domain or whatever was very large and she didn't know her way around yet.The day had just begun to break so she could see her way around, identify some people who had already woken up. They'd already started cleaning and some were trimming the grasses. They were very quiet about it and they bo
The omegas bathed her and dressed her up in preparation for her martial arts class with Maggie. Then she was led to the venue which was a lonely and quiet field. Maggie was a five feet tall lady who was a little ripped. She had a brown coloured hair which she plaited in two. She bowed slightly and made a brief introduction of herself. Twenty six years old and a guardian wolf. Apparently, a guardian to the omegas. She started teaching Davina the basics of martial arts before they progressed. She made Davina come at her while she defended herself, which was a total flop on Davina's part, for she couldn't even land a proper punch. At the end of the session, they had a little pep talk and it helped to lift Davina's spirit a bit. She practiced what she'd learnt alone in her room before she fell asleep before dinnertime. The next morning, she demanded the the class should begin before sunrise in order for her to achieve a lot. Maggie followed her instructions and they began. Davina lea
Davina let out a startled gasp and jumped off of Dante's body.She had been so engrossed in her moment with Dante that she didn't realise that she was being watched by Calvin. The amount of guilt she felt right now was immeasurable. How could she be doing this? How did she get so carried away?She saw Calvin's deadpan expression and she coughed awkwardly. "Um... Calvin, I didn't realise..." She attempted to speak but her voice trailed off."You got so into it, didn't you?" Calvin asked as he watched his wide eyed mate. He didn't know why she felt so awkward. It felt as though she didn't want to get caught training with his beta. Too late, because he'd been watching them for a while now. He felt bad about not been able to see his mate for these past few days because he'd been so swamped with work; concerns of the pack, so when he got the report from his beta; Dante that he was going to train with his mate, he decided to wrap up his work, then go see how well his mate had learnt marti
Later that night, Davina couldn't sleep as she rolled continuously on her queen sized bed. After spending some time with Calvin, she had a light dinner and some omega wolves were dispatched to her room to prepare her for bed.But then she couldn't sleep because the pain she felt from her sprained ankle tripped overnight. She tried to force herself to sleep by having sweet and peaceful thoughts of Calvin but it was useless.Now she sat up and rested her back on the bed rest. Her ankle had swollen a bit and she bet it would get worse if she didn't do something about it now.She knew she just had to press a button in her room and they'd come running to her but she didn't want to yet because she felt bad to disrupt their sleep.Dinner had been concluded a long time ago and from the silence that fell, she knew that everyone would be deep asleep by now. Except her though.She too deserved sleep but her sprained ankle wasn't letting her have some. She decided to be quick. They'd just get an
Her eyes were covered with a blindfold as she was led by her boyfriend. As she followed him, she was conscious of the scent and heat emanating from the candles in the room. "Where are we, Calvin?" She asked in a voice filled with jitters and anticipation. "You'll see" he said and left her to be "Calvin?" She called as she wasn't hearing any movement or sound from him. "Yes, my darling... here you go" he said and gently removed the blindfold. An awed gasp escaped from her lips. She was right. Calvin had brought her to a scenting candlelit room. She was thrilled to see beautiful decorations laying around and she wondered why he went through all these for her. Before she could ask him why, he got down on a knee before her and brought out a small box. She gasped again. "I can't imagine my life without you in it" he began. "Will you be my girlfriend, Amber Trafford?" Tears blurred her vision and she made to speak but before she could, she felt a sudden wave of chilly breeze on her
She felt soft and light strokes on her face and hair; whenever her mom tried to put her to sleep or whenever her mom braided her hair. She heard her mom's sonorous voice whenever she sat near a fire and it reminded her of the times when she and her sisters would sit around the fire to keep warm, while her mom told them tales of the purple rose pack and sang peaceful and soothing notes.Now she couldn't hear a thing. She couldn't feel a thing. Her mom's touch and her voice faded as the days went by and it drove her crazy. A void space occupied the greater part of her heart and she felt all the warmth leave her. She lived her life without a reason and in a little time, numbness became her coping mechanism.She was in her wolf form, during a hunt organised by her pack. Running through the woods and pouncing on any animal that wasn't her kind. Without inhibitions or mercy, she hunted. Until she caught sight of an injured man who was abandoned in the woods to bleed out. Her first instinct
They conversed as they walked through the large palace grounds. The sentinel wolves stood followed them closely but not close enough to hear what they were saying."So tell me Ray, what's your opinion on the matter?" Alpha Timothy of the bayero pack asked his close aide and beta, Raymond Sanchez."Honestly alpha, I just think you should follow your heart" replied Ray elusively. He knew exactly what he was playing at."Come on, Raymond. I want your own opinion. Not some vague suggestion" Timothy persisted"This is a sensitive topic, you know. We're talking about marriage. You have to find out if it's okay with Luna Bridgette"Raymond said, still beating around the bush. He was waiting for Timothy to take the bait before he struck. Right now, he just pretended to have his alpha's best interests at heart so after Timothy bought all his fake empathy, he'd then hit the nail on the head. Alpha Timothy had been offered two marriage proposals. More of an alliance between the packs, under the
The long awaited day had finally come. It was the alpha's birthday today and a large party had been thrown, inviting the elites and elders of the pack and other neighboring packs. As a peace offering between her and Sadie, Davina wore a purple gown, lined with fur on the sleeves. It was beautiful. The most beautiful dress she had ever put on. Her hair was packed in a simple bun.Dante and some other wolves ranked beneath him were meant to stand at the entrance and welcome the guests but he didn't want her to leave his sight so he made her stand at the entrance with him.She'd barely seen Calvin since the pack hunt so she wasn't able to be by his side today or wish him a happy birthday. He was so busy celebrating with elders of his pack and alphas of other packs who were his allies.She didn't want to bother him, just watched him from a distance. "Do I really have to stand here with you? I'm wearing heels, you know" Davina whispered to Dante"Yes you have to. I can't let you out of m
Davina sat on one spot her bed for several minutes as her mind drifted to several places. Was she too mean to Sadie? It felt like she was. But it wasn't her fault, she was only being true to herself. She was already roped into this whole Alexis charade, the least she could do for herself was to not be a pushover.She needed to get air. No, she needed to find Sadie and apologise for being such a bad host. Maybe she'd get air in the process. She got out of her room and slowly closed the door. She has to at least search for Sadie because she refused to believe that Sadie had left the alpha's domain so abruptly. She walked down the hallway as she peeped through halfway opened doors. Giving up on searching for Sadie herself, she decided to ask for her whereabouts."She's with Dante" one of the wolves she asked said and directed her to the room.On reaching her destination, she was about to open the door when she heard some voices. It sounded like Sadie's and Dante's "I think she hates me
Davina was prepared by her personal omegas for the arrival of Sadie, who later came by sunrise. They were served refreshments in Davina's room as per her request."Alexis!" Sadie screamed in excitement as she hugged her. "I've missed you so so much!" She said to Davina who just felt awkwardly remained silent. She didn't have any friends back in her world, she never had the opportunity to make any so this was all new to her."I heard everything from Dante" she said. "how're you feeling right now? Do you still hurt anywhere? Those bastards; Raymond and Amber! They should be punished for what they did to you" she rambled on and on and got no response from Davina, then she stopped"I know this must be weird for you, I'd feel weird if I lost my memory too. But Alexis, it's me Sadie Anvil. We've been friends since childhood. We were both partners in crime and in everything. We loved troubling people and we both triggered our wolf curse the same year because we couldn't bear to see just one
Davina followed Ingrid deep into the omega's domain and she saw them doing a lot of stuff. She didn't want to lie, she enjoyed the busy atmosphere. Any omega she passed stopped what he or she was doing to greet her until she signalled them to continue. She felt bad that because the only things the omegas did with their lives was work. They had no free time to play, to gist or to rest. Was caste really a big deal in this world? Did people's lives really depend on it? Well, according to what she was seeing here, it did. Her heart went out to the omegas because she was just like them. She was an omega in her world. At least her family made sure of that. She had no friends, no free time to make them or even rest. She barely had time for herself and on top of that her efforts weren't appreciated. She was treated like the lowest of the low by her family members and it hurt. What kind of person would she be if she ignored what was going on with the omegas? If she ignored how unfairly they
Davina woke up remembering what today was. She could already sense it from her room. The noise that came from the preparations woke her up and she was tempted to step out from her room to see what was happening but she remembered that she was meant to be pretending to be sick.She stayed on her bed, trying to fall asleep again but to no avail.Then she just resolved to remain on her bed because she didn't want to get caught roaming around her room by Calvin because a sick person was supposed to be too weak to do that.She turned restlessly on the bed for several minutes until she gave up. She was done pretending to be sick, at least not when she had nobody to watch her.She pressed the button and her omegas came answering."Dispatch a sentinel wolf to keep watch at my door" she said and the omegas nodded their reply and went off.She told the sentinel, once he arrived, to inform her if Calvin was coming to see her. Now all she had to do was busy herself with anything until Calvin depa
Amber sat across Raymond in his large sized sofa as she peered at him curiously."So?" She prompted"So?" Ray replied, unforthcoming with an answer"It's been more than a week and you haven't come up with anything yet?" She raised her voice in disbelief"Don't pin all this on me!" He said. "we're in this together, remember?"Amber's cold glare remained on him. "Right" she mumbled"Okay, let's use our brains to come up with something, some kind of sick plan that would work for us on Calvin's birthday"She said and they both fell silent as their creative minds drifted off.Minutes later, Amber came up with an idea."How about we drug her?" Amber suggested"Would that be possible?" Ray asked "I mean, all eyes would be on her" "It's possible" Amber said in a resolved tone. "we can come in with some sentinel wolves who work for you, then the wolves would keep an eye on her and alert us when she's all by herself"Raymond nodded slowly. That seemed like a good plan. One other thing he liked
Raymond made the sentinel wolves following him to wait outside while he got into the dungeon where the rogue wolves were. The road leading inside was dark and the atmosphere stunk but Ray just grabbed a piece of wood and tapped some fire from the fireplace at the entrance which was their only source of light.He didn't plan to stay long here so he decided to endure the stinky air.He began to hear movements from the wolves in the cell as some had noticed his arrival.He took slow steps while passing through the cell as he surveyed the wolves. "It's you again!" He heard one of the rogue prisoners say. "Look who it is guys, it's our saviour!"The wolves started to talk within themselves, making it impossible for Raymond to hear a thing."Why have you come here?" One of them asked. "to feed us with more lies?" "At least he comes to see us. We should be grateful. The only visitors we get are people who come once a day to place food in front of our cells, therefore making it difficult to
