“Arrgghhhhh!!!!!” Rakur growled in his prison cell. He was in there all alone, and right next to him was Samara’s cell, with only lined up bars of metal separating them both. For hours they’d been locked up, and none of them deterred in their arguments and spiteful words against each other.“Because of you! Because of your stupidity! I lost everything because of you… oh, Samara! You’d better thank your stars for this prison we are locked in. You don’t know how much it hungers me to kill you right now.”“I did not know! I was not aware that it was all a trap. I only did what I did to help you, and now I’m regretting it now because it seems as if nothing I did would ever be good enough for you.”“Do not seek the empathy you don’t deserve, you bitch! Whatever it is you did, failed. I should have killed you or even stayed away from you from the start. Do you know how many decades it took to build the army I lost today? Within the twinkle of an eye, they were wiped out, and you dare to ope
“Samara was very close to me. I loved her more than anything, and then I made the mistake of loving her more than you, more than my own sister, now look how things turned out to be. I didn’t just end up losing you, I ended up being the joke in the presence of all my comrades, all because of my love for Samara.”“It’s okay if you do not want to witness her execution. I would have decided the same thing too if I were in your shoes, but please, I am begging you, Walden. You have to forgive yourself for the things you’ve done in the past. You have to move on towards a better future for yourself and your people.”“I know I have to. It will be hard, but I will try.”“Thank you, Walden.”With her words, Walden turned to exit the balcony. “I will be taking my leave now. I think I will feel much better being away from all this. I’m sorry that I will not be attending the unity feast tonight but I will send a representative in my place.”“That’s fine. The feast is just a feast. What’s more impor
Sandy had been around for a while, but did not join them this evening for dinner. Miranda knows that the poor girl is still going through some emotional trouble, not to talk of the separation from her brother at the point they needed each other the most.Miranda decided that she would go up to take her dinner to her room, in hopes that the both of them could talk. After entering, she met Sandy still unpacking, folding her clothes into the closet that was provided for her.“Sandy, I brought your dinner.”Sandy turned from what she was doing to face her, “oh, no… You shouldn’t have. I’m really not that hungry, that’s why I didn’t come downstairs.”Miranda smirked, “we both know that’s a lie, there’s no way you wouldn’t be hungry after such a journey.”“You’re right. I might be hungry but I can’t think of food right now. I have so much going on in my mind, it’s hard for one to even sit down to eat.”“Stop pushing yourself too hard, Sandy. I know what it is that’s bothering you.”“You do?
As their bodies were close, Miranda felt powerless to do anything other than adore this man and share her love with him in whatever manner she could. She couldn't be content with fantasizing about how it would be in his arms any longer. She had no choice but to find out for herself. There was this flammable energy, sexual awareness, and plain want pouring between them, something so volatile, so explosive that she could feel it even now. She raised her chin to look up at him, her gaze still fixed on his black eyes. She could hear his deep breathing and wondered if he could hear hers as well. She didn't want to think about the range of emotions he could elicit in her. “I want you to make love to me. Show me how much you want me” she said in a whispered tone. “I want you with a desperation that is almost killing me.” he said his eyes darken even more and she watched his sensuous lips move when he spoke. No sooner had the words left his mouth than he dipped down and captured her lips i
"Are you ready?" Damian asked her after helping her with the zipper of her dress. Today was a special day that day that would mark a change in the lives of all that will be involved in this union, and for that, Miranda had to look her best today."Are you ready, Miranda?" She asked herself this question again inwardly. She doesn't know if she'll ever be, but she does know that this day was far due to come, especially since the lotus wolves moved here. "Yes I am," she answered as she turned to face him, looking at him straight in the eyes, still unable to get over all that had happened last night, and all that was yet to come. "Then let's head downstairs," he said. "Our people are waiting for us." As she took his hand, her mind took a trip down to memory lane, remembering how it all started. How she walked into these territories without having a clue as to how life will turn out for her. She came in here a confused person, she came in here with so much hurt, but as time went on, as
FTTRAK the sequel: Seer to the alpha***It’s night time, and the only sounds that could be heard was the sound of the cool breeze swishing past. Walden is all alone in his bedroom, his eyes are wide awake, and he’s thinking, unable to sleep. It’s been like this for him; getting worse after the rejection, and months after Sandy left.He got up from his bed then, maybe a cold shower would do. The feel of the water running down his skin always helped to calm his nerves. It might not bring sleep to his eyes, but it would go a long way in bringing him some much-needed relaxation.After taking off his night clothes, he stepped into the shower cubicle and turned the water on. As it was night, he never expected to hear any other noises apart from the rushing water, until…“Alpha Walden…”Walden jumped. That torturous voice, the voice that has taken away his sleep for so many months since his sister left. That voice that won’t leave him alone. The voice of the man he killed over a year ago, t
He will be taking his life.Yes, that’s the best thing to do right now. Walden is tired. He is fed up. Life no longer seems as manageable as it used to be. No one wants to be around him anymore, and those that he used to keep around betrayed his trust like it meant nothing to them, now they’re gone.So, he left the packhouse that same morning, he only put on a cloak to cover his night clothes, he didn’t take a bath, didn’t eat any food, there was no need to after all, for someone who was about to die. As he neared the border, he could already sense it; freedom, liberation, he could already feel it coming closer. Soon, all of this would be over, his sister will take over the pack once he’s gone. Those who hate him will no longer have any problems to deal with anymore. At the end of all this, everyone will get what they want.After some time of running in his wolf form, he finally left the night shadow territory to the neutral grounds separating three mighty lands, the silver, the Turna
***THREE DAYS LATER***Maggie woke up with a grueling headache. The pain in her head and neck would not stop. She doesn’t remember much of what happened, but she does remember being beating up badly, she remembered begging for her life to be spared, and then she thought that her pleas where rejected, she’d thought she was a goner. She did not expect to be alive; she did not expect to wake up, especially in this strange room.The room might have been strange to her, but she would recognize a fancy packhouse whenever she saw one, even from the inside. Did the queen decide to spare her and save her life? Cover her wounds? Give her treatment? Why all of a sudden did she change her mind? This confused Maggie so much.Only… It wasn’t the queen that brought her here! Maggie realized this after looking out through the window of the room. This in no way was the Turnal terrain. This place was not familiar to her at all. Where was she then? And why was she brought here? Emily!Maggie’s heart ju
Walden never expected to feel so much calm and peace in his heart after visiting Conor’s grave. He knew he’d done the right thing by facing the last of his fears to visit the night shadow cemetery, and now he’s glad he did.He returned to the packhouse that afternoon to see how things were going, as he’d been absent for the last two days, things hadn’t changed pretty much as all of his followers had done well to keep the activities together while he was with his love, Maggie. Which reminds him…He took a stroll through the pack house halls to the royal chambers, and then to the big bedroom he’d placed her in, not too far from his own.“How is my love doing?” He asked as he met her in the room. She was still folding up the last of her belongings, out of the luggage and into the bedroom drawers.“Where did you go? You suddenly disappeared right after breakfast,” she stated after their brief kiss. “I had some urgent matters to take care of. I’m sorry I didn’t let you know before I went
***TWO DAYS LATER***Maggie and her daughter had moved back into the packhouse today. This was after Walden had spent the last two days with them, as they’d made so many memories similar to the way a normal family would. Maggie would forever keep those moments in her heart, as she prayed that they would last forever.Things were just beginning to take a new turn for Walden, and there was still so much that would go on with his new lover, he intended to take things to a new level with her, but before he did anything, he’d decided in his heart to settle the past first, even though he now had his life back, there was still something he needed to do.He didn’t tell anyone what he was doing prior to coming here, maybe it’s because he needed to do this freely, or for whatever reason, but before he starts his new future, he wants to make things right.He’d reached his destination after taking a stroll through the woods, he’d gathered different flowers, as he’d had a hard time deciding which
Maggie grinned as she buried her fingers in his hair, and kissed him back hungrily. She held him fast, her lips sucking on his, fingers digging into his scalp, mound gyrating feverishly against his rock-hard cock. All rational thought escaped him. He immersed himself in the delight of Maggie’s curves.Her hands moved down his back to tug at his shirt impatiently. When her hands slipped between their bodies and unfastened his pants. Both hands thrust into his open fly and pulled his cock free. She stroked him up and down vigorously between her palms, her fingertips dancing against his flesh. Jesus, he liked it rough like that. His breath caught in the back of his throat.Her fingers tangled in the moist hair at his nape, and she exulted in the knowledge that she had done this to him.‘Kiss me,’ she said, discovering confidence in herself she’d never known before. She reached up to him, finding his breathless mouth with hers, and with another muffled oath he cradled her face between his
*I love you.It’s been a long time since he heard those words from anybody’s mouth. Maggie loved him. Why then did he leave her so angrily? Why was he even so mad at her? Was he mad that she’d denied him the chance of knowing the truth for so long, or was he just mad at himself for thinking he might hurt her later? That he didn’t deserve her, the same way she’d thought she wasn’t worthy of being with him?He spent the rest of the day at his bedroom window, cancelling all of his activities as he’d missed the morning rounds. He needed time and space to think clearly, as his mind is going through a whole lot right now.So much time passed that Walden didn’t even know how long he spent in his thoughts. It was already nighttime and he is still by his window. He then felt a loud growl in his stomach, remembering that he hasn’t had anything to eat throughout the day, but he didn’t let that bother him, as food is the least of his problems now.He doesn’t know if the ghost will come or not, bu
It was already late in the afternoon when Walden woke up the next day. He feels different this time around, and this is because he slept like a baby the previous night. Surprisingly, he had slept all through the night, and through the morning, after having passionate sex with this woman he seemed to want so much of.His eyes were still closed when his hand searched, reaching through the sheets surrounding him, and then he noticed she wasn’t there. He opened his eyes then to the sound of her voice coming from the door.“Good afternoon, sire.”“Maggie?”He saw that she was fully dressed and holding a tray of food in her hands. She’d let him sleep as she went to the kitchen to prepare some food for him, thinking he’d need it after draining so much energy last night, but that seemed to be the least of his problems.“Come.” He reached out his arms to her as he sat up on the queen size bed. After dropping the tray on the table, she went into his embrace. Not a word was said as they both rem
“Then why am I still having these nightmares?” He growled. His expression was frightening, she’d never seen him like this before, at least not towards her. “I don't know. The spirit was not supposed to return. The nightmares were not supposed to return!” “Do you know how it feels each night for me? Do you know that for the last six months, I have not slept like a normal man?!!! Do you know how it feels thinking that you are finally liberated from something after all your efforts to get rid of it, only for it to come back at you, like it never even left?”“Walden, please calm down. I would never lie to you, especially not after how much you've helped me. I would never deceive you. That spirit is gone. I don't know what it is you saw again, but I assure you there's no way it could have come back.”He suddenly let out a sarcastic laugh which surprised her. “So now, you’re insinuating that I'm crazy. I don't know what it is I saw?”“You are not crazy, Walden. You are only an alpha ki
"You’re… Sending us away?” The tone of her voice said it all as she didn’t hide anything. She didn’t hide the disappointment she felt, and Walden didn’t miss it at all. "No. Of course not. I’d never do that. You and Emily are always welcome at the night shadow packhouse at any time. I only did this because I thought you probably needed your privacy. I thought that’s why you left the first time…" She didn’t answer, only kept staring down at the keys in her hand. "Tell me, is there something wrong?” He asked. “You know, you don’t have to stay here if you don’t want to.” "No.” She suddenly looked up, smiling as she hid her previous expression. “I’m sorry. I love it. I was just surprised, that’s all."Walden didn’t seem to be fooled by that answer, “are you sure? You don’t have to pretend. I won’t take offence if you choose to remain in the packhouse instead."She shook her head, “no. Of course, we need our privacy like you said. Thank you so much for everything, alpha Walden. We’ll b
“Conor!” Sandy gasped, seeing the spirit standing right in front of her, almost like it was in the flesh, how she missed him! She’d missed him so much and she doesn’t know how to let go at this time. Good, Maggie thought. Sandy did a good job summoning the spirit as it came out on time, she kept on spreading the fumes as she signaled to the spirit seeker who was outside the square to hit the Goni drum louder, which would open a portal where Sandy would push the spirit into, banishing it forever just like Maggie had told her prior to this. "Now!" The drumming sounds became louder and faster, and Maggie spread the fumes round and round so as to weaken the spirit. Walden stood still on his side of his square as he’d been told, not to move a muscle, not to say anything so that the spirit won’t see him, realize what was happening and disappear. The sage fumes weakened the spirit, and Sandy could see the sadness in his eyes. She felt so much pity for him. This man died in one of the wo
The manner in which Sandy had agreed to come along with them still baffled Walden so much. He could remember how reluctant she was yesterday when they’d spoken. He’d pretty much given up because he thought that Sandy didn’t believe any of his words. But Maggie… What sort of trick did Maggie use on his sister to get her to agree just like that?This was far from what surprised Walden the most, as not only that, but the two women had developed a close relationship in such a short time, you’d have thought that they’d known each other for years with the way they’d conversed throughout the entire trip back home, leaving Walden to watch and stare at them in amazement. Who are you, Maggie? He asked himself many times then.Maggie enjoyed the talks she had with Sandy, as she was in such a good mood, even though tired. Today had been a happy day for the entire siltus packhouse, as they celebrated the arrival of a new born male cub, the Beta’s son in the early hours of the morning. Maggie hardl
