75. Death in the family

last update Last Updated: 2023-08-19 20:24:22

It's almost sunset. The beautiful time on a hot sunny day that brings the right amount of wind to cool down the heat brought by the sun during the day.

I'm in the middle of a golden wheat field that sways gently all around me as I search for something.

Something?

What am I searching for again? I straighten up to wonder but I can't remember no matter how hard I try to.

"Tch" I scoff and shrug in resignation before plucking a stalk of wheat, holding it to my long golden tresses that the wind is blowing against my face.

"It's exactly the same color," I whisper and smile to myself. I then hold the stalk to my nose and inhale deeply with my eyes closed. It smells earthy and of raw flour. It reminds me of Martha baking in the kitchen.

"Ash!..." I suddenly hear Lilly's voice shout my name from afar... Or is that Martha's voice? I wonder in confusion. I'm too far into the field to be able to tell their voices apart.

"Ash, they're going to kill you!" The voice screams out in warning this t

    I attempt to stand up from the bed and lunge for the one nearest to me but I fall right back in. My legs feel rubbery like they can no longer support my weight. "What did you do to me!?" I shout as I glare at them with so much hatred. "Where is my mother!?"None of them speak. How can someone that just served me tea be dead!? That's simply impossible! She's harmless. She's innocent. This must be a joke. They wouldn't dare kill my mother and talk about her so casually as if she's nothing. Even though I'm in so much pain, I laugh like I just heard a bad joke and looking directly at the one I presume to be the leader."I want my mother! Take me to my mother you, meathead! If any one of you hurts as much as a single strand of hair on her head then the person is dead! You're all dead! I'm going to kill you all no matter how long it takes!..." While I hatefully shout my threats to them, they slightly turn their backs and talk under their breaths about me but I hear them clearly."Fucking

    "That's enough crying! Get up, we don't have all day!" One of the council policemen snaps coldly behind me. I should indeed get up and kill the son of a bitch that speaks so coldly about my mother but I don't want to leave her lying all by herself on the floor. The carpet is completely soaked through with her blood but I feel maybe if I call her name louder, she'll hear me and wake up. I gently call her, lightly touching her face in the process..."Martha!... Mommy!... Please wake up... Ma! Wake up, please! Don't leave me! Don't leave me, Mom, please." I put my cheek to her nose again, praying in my heart for some miracle to happen... I feel something... Or could it be my imagination? I thought and make myself concentrate despite the shitty talk from the policemen and the urgency in their voices.'Oh my god, I feel something! It's the faintest puff of air but I felt it.'I can't remember the last time I've ever begged anyone for anything. Even when I was being subjected to unimagi

    "You have no idea what I've been through Eric!" I suddenly went from sounding like a woofer to mewing like a kitten. I'm surprised when my eyes start to well up with tears again after I thought I was already dried out from crying so much.I slowly sink to the floor to sit on my heels. I am physically, mentally, and emotionally tired. I am grief-stricken about Martha's death. I don't know if I would ever be consoled. I don't know how I would ever find peace to continue living without her in my life. And despite all, Thor did to me. Despite all this, I think about him and said to Eric. I don't think I can ever stop myself from loving the bastard. I'm not sure if I'll ever heal from losing him. So, so pathetic!"She killed Martha..." I softly say to Eric who is standing helpless before me like a statue."Miranda killed my mother and I couldn't do anything about it. I couldn't save her. I could only watch, helpless and pathetic as she bled out on the carpet. God, I'm so useless!" I say,

    "Yes! Yes of course Beta, anything you say." The big guard was reduced to a stuttering fool in front of Eric as he scrambles for the key that he keeps inside his uniform jacket."That's what I thought you would say," Eric says and pats the guard on his shoulder with a smile."We are sorry Beta, we didn't mean to disregard your words. Even though we know a new Luna has not been inaugurated yet, for the sake of argument, what should we have done when the she-wolf came to us with an official letter that had the Alpha's seal on it, addressing her as Luna and ordering us to do exactly as she commands?"Eric nods in understanding"I understand your point of view man. I'm not blaming you for carrying out your duties, just don't ever stand in my way when I'm about to carry out mine. I wouldn't like for us to have a problem, Mr warden guard.""Yes, Beta! Apologies once again. He says and hurriedly unlocks and removes the silver chain from around my wrist and ankle.The prison warder sure knows

    Eric's POVElla might be crazy and disobedient sometimes but she's good with people. I'm glad I brought her with me and not one of the boys to see Flame, otherwise, what would I have done? How would I have consoled Flame while she was so devastated?... Watching her sitting dispiritedly on the floor and in tears breaks my heart so much. I would have started to cry myself if Ella hadn't stepped in to save the day.I blame myself for this. I let my guard down for one moment and the bitch pulled a fast one on me. Well, I didn't really let my guard down like that. She carried out her evil plan on Thor and sneaked out of the Alpha's mansion while I was having a meeting with the team about Thor's situation.As Martha had suggested, I need to call Thor's dad and let him know about the situation of things. Even though their case is not really the same, Martha made some good points when she made me realize that Thor and Flame's situation might be the same as Thor's parents.I should call Uncle

    The condition Ash's room is in is no better than their living room, if not worse."What are we looking for here?" Ella growls through clenched teeth. Makes me wonder if I'm the one she's angry at or the shifters that hurt Ash, her new friend. I never would've believed that Ella who is rarely involved with her gender will be this emotionally involve in Ash that she just met."No, don't do that!..." I caution when she goes around straightening things and putting furniture back in their places."Why not? I was just putting everything back in place. No harm in that." She replies defensively "Oh okay..." I reply to her. My voice drips sarcasm but she doesn't notice my anger toward her. As a fierce warrior of the team herself, I seriously need to openly address her annoying habit of questioning a direct order instead of obeying instantly. Not at the moment, but I'll surely get to it later after I've answered her 'why not' question "Although we already have them on camera, I still think w

    "Uncle!" I cheerfully say in greeting, pausing a little for his reply but I get silence in return... I remove the phone from my ear to look at the screen to be sure he's still online.He is. Why the silence then? Or is there a problem with the network connection?' "Uncle Knox?..." I say questioningly. Are you there? How did your meeting with the doctor go?" He snorts before asking in a sarcastic tone"How did my meeting with the doctor go?... You're asking me as if you care.""Huh?" The smile on my face vanishes slowly. His reply shocked me to some extent, making me wonder if I'd somehow done something to offend him without realizing it. "Uhmm, Uncle Knox? Of course, you know I care about you. What made you say that?""Oh, you do? Please, pardon me, I must have mistaken you for Ella then." He says sarcastically again, confusing me the more and making me wonder why he brought Ella into our conversation. "Uhh, I'm sorry Uncle but I don't know what you're talking about. The more yo

    I know there's trouble the moment Thomas wrenches the door open. I also know it would have something to do with Thor. I just hope in my mind that he isn't in the process of beating someone to death like what happened with our martial arts instructor when we were young. I immediately told Uncle Knox I'd call him later and ended the call without waiting for his reply. "What the fuck happen again this time?" I ask, fearing for Thor and not his victim if he's indeed beating some poor werewolf to an inch of his life. Call me heartless, I don't care. What I care and concerned about is for my brother not to carry the blame for killing an innocent person for the rest of his life."Beta, come quickly. Three Council Elders are here to see the Alpha!" He hastily says Hearing what he said, I pause to take a deep breath to calm myself while inwardly thanking Moon goddess 'Thor is not in the process of killing anyone.'But then, Council Elders? Another kind of warning bell immediately starts

"The Council Chairman is the officiant!?"He grins"Surprise!" He says with a flourish "Now walk. And remember, your best man is closely behind."I happily smile and nod at our guests as I walk behind the old man hobbling on his walking stick.I can't believe that the Council Chairman himself is going to officiate our wedding!? He's already so old but still makes the time. Today sure is full of pleasant surprises. He arrives at the front and turns to face the guests."Council Chairman, what an honor this is," I say as I arrive before him, my back to the guests.He smiles "Giving the opportunity to join the Chosen ones of House War-Cloud and House Howell in matrimony is a great honor that I dare not pass to another."I nod and he also nods backEveryone arrive at the front and stand at their respective places as we had rehearsed.

    I look at my Patek Philippe Nautilus watch before getting up to start dressing up. Just as I put on my tuxedo jacket, someone knocks on my door."Come in," Eric answers Timothy enters, already dressed for the occasion."The guests have arrived. The ceremony will begin soon." He saysI nod and reply,"We're ready. We'll be out soon." He nods and leavesEric finishes buttoning his tux before turning to me. He looks at me critically as he brushes something off my satin lapel and straightens my bowtie."Hmm..." He says satisfactorily before taking a step back. "Hair– on point. Skin– flawless. Tux– immaculate. Shoes– nice pair, they really compliment your outfit. All in all, you look good, man. Your bride will fall in love with you all over again."I smile at his compliment."What about the ring? Do you have it?" I ask to be sure he hasn't forgotten."I have it right here." He replies with a nod, patting on the area it is resting inside his tux. I exhale and nod"Then shall we?" He

    Instead of going back to sleep like I tell him, he groans and slumps back into bed."Ugh!... C'mon, don't be a bitch about this."I scoff, looking at him in disbelief."Who's the bitch here? You're obviously tired and need to rest. I'm allowing you to do that but you can't see my good intentions." I guess he thinks I was being sarcastic when I apologized for disturbing his sleep.He sighs and gets out of bed then go to the wet bar. There, he gets a bottle of water and gulps it down in one go. "Now I'm awake..." He says before asking me, "Water?""Yeah, sure," I replyHe hands me the water before going to sit on the sofa."Alright, tell me about your anxiety attack.""I can't sleep. I thought I mentioned that earlier." ''Why can't you sleep?""How the hell am I supposed to know? I just can't!" I know I sounded defensive right now. That's because I know this conversation would end up with him poking fun at me."I wouldn't have found sleep difficult if I was at Alpha's mansion. My m

    Two weeks laterThor's POV 1:10 am! I glare in disbelief at the digital clock on my bedside drawer as if it's its fault that time chooses to be moving at a snail's pace today of all days. It was 12:49 the last time I checked, I can't believe that only nineteen minutes had gone by since then."Ugh!" I growl and slump back in bed as I recall all the advice I got yesterday from all the females around me. (that did not include my mate, mind you. I haven't spoken to her in two days because of some Howell's wedding tradition)"You should go to bed early, Alpha," Lily said as they were about to leave for Night Howlers Pack. (They are Ash's maids and matron of honor.)"Yes, you should." Carla chipped in, nodding, before I could ask Lily why she wanted me to go to bed early. "Poor sleep can lead to breakouts, you know?" "Breakouts?" I asked, looking at both of them with interest."Yes, breakout. Believe me, Alpha, you don't want that..." Clarita replied, looking appalled as she shook her he

    I step out of the lobby's revolving door and frantically look around me. I don't see him anywhere but his essence is stronger. He's definitely here."Ma'am..." A voice questioningly calls and I turn around to see Jeremy, one of my security details that comes from my Dad. I wonder where he sprang from? "Have you seen the Alpha– I mean my mate?" I say, handing him my backpack."No, ma'am, I haven't." He replies, looking in the parking lot's direction."Yeah, maybe he's just arriving," I say and hurry towards the place. When the parking lot becomes visible, I smile when I see him leaning on his car reading a book. Immediately, he turned in my direction and grinned as if he knew I was coming. I know it's because he smells my essence.I run, speedily closing the gap between us, and then jump into his arms, tightly wrapping myself around him like a koala bear hugging a tree."Oh, hi, monkey." He says, chuckling.I laugh, slightly pulling away from him "Hello, monkey's husband," I say. "

    Twelve weeks later"Prom is more than a dance, Miss Reynolds. It is also used to celebrate and honor students who excel in academics, athletics, and extracurricular activities..." Mrs Jones, my homeroom teacher, lectures me. "Even though you're only spending this term with us, your excellent performance has made you popular among the teachers. You're also loved by not just your peers but also your juniors. Even though you're a new student, they voted for you to be on the prom court, and with what I've been hearing on the grapevine about you, I'm sure they would vote for you to be this year's Prom Queen. Now, won't they be disappointed if they find out you don't want to be part of the event? It would be a shame if..."'Would it? Aren't you over-exaggerating?' I think as I continue to listen to her drone on and on. Contrary to what she's been saying. As far as I know and can see, no one truly cares about anyone amongst my peers in Apex Academy. Most of them are rich, pompous, opportu

    "You didn't have your wolf and you weren't aware of my existence. I just recently figured it out myself. That was why I said earlier that a lot of things about our bond recently became clear to me. Even though I was made aware of our mate bond, I didn't know it was such a big deal. Uncle Elias also didn't see it as such; otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten me a girl on my birthday. Only The Seer knew. Knowing he's one of our number one fans, I guessed he also didn't make a big deal out of me being with other women before I met you because he knew the connection between us was not complete. You were too young. You were six years old when I was sixteen..." It suddenly feels as if I've been slapped in the face with the difference in our age. Damnit! Why didn't I think about that before!? Now that he called my attention to it, I feel I've been insensitive. To think I was eight years old when he was eighteen! An eight-year-old child is too young to shift to their wolves and has no busines

    "About us..." He replies, and my body stiffens. "About what happened before you left for Hill-backside." "But I thought everything was fine now. We are fine now so why do we still need to discuss that?" I say and want to stand up, but from his lap, he prevents me, holding me in place. "Please..." He says, looking at me soulfully I exhale "I just don't see any reason why we should talk about that. We're fine now, aren't we?... I love you. You love me. Nothing else should matter except that." I say, not knowing if I should confess to him my real reason for not wanting to discuss that matter. Should I tell him I'm afraid to hear what he wants to say? I'm afraid I might not be able to bear it if he tells me how he manipulated his way around our mate bond? Should I let him know I would rather pretend Delilah never happened than risk hearing about her and not be able to forgive him out of jealousy. How would I let him know that I just want to forget the bad memories. I don't want to di

    Even though it bothers me, I'm not really surprised when I return from the bathroom to see Thor in his nightwear, sitting on the sofa far away from the bed. At least now I know without doubt that something is indeed bothering him.He stands when he becomes aware of my presence."Can we have a few words?" He asks seriously and my heart thumps again.I nod. Few words about what? What could be bothering him this much? I wonder as I walk towards him. He doesn't need to say another word before I know what he's about to discuss is very serious. It's written all over his face. "I sensed something was bothering you. What do you want to talk about?" Even though I asked, I dread his reply and hurriedly add"Don't tell me! I don't want to know...""You don't!" He exclaims. "But we really need to...""Okay– but please not right now!..." I plead. "I can tell from your expression that what you want to talk about is serious and I... I don't want to talk about anything serious right now, Thor! Tod
