2024-10-29 19:42:56Miranda shook her head, dropping to sit on a chair, as at that moment, she felt so weak her legs couldn’t even carry her, “no… I don’t understand… why? He knows how important this wedding is to me and my pack, why then did he decide to bail on me at the last minute??? A day before the wedding? This makes no sense at all.”
Beta Finn’s face held sympathy, “I’m sorry princess Miranda, but the Night shadow alpha just has too many responsibilities choking him on the neck, he tried to make it, he tried so much… but he just wasn’t able to come for the cardinal conference, the burdens he’s carrying are too overwhelming. I’ll even be the one representing the night shadow pack’s leadership for the sacrifice this year.”
“He couldn’t make it? For his own wedding??? He knows how important this engagement is to the Lotus pack! To me!!!! What could have been so important for him not to be able to come???” Just then, she remembered something, something that he had told her earlier through a phone call, same thing that made her storm with rage.
“I should have known… It’s Samara, isn’t it???? She’s the reason he couldn’t make it here today, right?!!!”
“Ummm….” Finn couldn’t answer.
“Don’t lie to me, Beta Finn! I can see right through you! Tell me the truth!!!”
“The beta sighed, giving up, “I’m sorry princess, but Samara was severely injured and the alpha couldn’t help but blame himself for it. I…”
Miranda cut him short, with an empty laugh… “so all because Samara is injured? He cancelled his own wedding??? Ha!”
“He didn’t cancel it dear, he only moved it to next year, to the next cardinal conference… he promises that there will be no more excuses by that time and the both of you will get married, he says to tell you he’s sorry.”
Miranda was not only heartbroken but devastated, and the words of the Beta only hurt her more,
“Follow your heart,” she heard her wolf, Lily, suddenly whisper within her then. Lily hardly came out to speak and when she did, she knew it was because it was time to make a hefty decision, a decision that would change everything…
“Tell your alpha to save his explanations, he can go ahead and marry his Samara. I am calling off the engagement. I’m not doing this anymore.”
“Miranda!” She heard her father’s loud voice call this time, her father rarely shouted, but this time he did because the words she’d let out shot him like an arrow in the chest, of course no alpha would like to see his pack’s downfall because of his daughter.
“Father!” She turned to see her father holding his chest, struggling to breathe, he’d panicked and now he’d gotten an attack. Fear suddenly erupted in her heart. Oh no! This is not good! This is not good at all!!!
“Guards!!!!” As soon as she yelled, two uniformed men stormed into the meeting room, upon seeing the alpha in a state of attack, they held worried looks on their faces. Miranda then gave instructions.
Take him to his room now and send for the healer immediately!
“Yes milady!” They quickly ran past her to where the alpha was struggling, nearly falling out of his wheelchair. Lifting him up to take him out of the room, leaving Miranda and the beta alone, but her mind wasn’t conscious of that fact, the only thing she could feel right now was tremendous guilt prickling her insides, she should have known better than to say that in front of her father, who doesn’t take too well to bad news because of his condition.
“Princess…” her mind was interrupted by Beta Finn’s voice.
She turned to him, “yes?”
“I’m sorry about what happened to your father dear, I guess there are things in life that happen beyond our control.”
By things that were “beyond control,” Miranda knew he was referring to the unfortunate happenings in the Lotus pack the past few years, the pack was badly damaged after the last war, it was unexpected but it happened of course, taking many lives. Alpha Luther was the best leader any pack could have, and if it weren’t for him, the lotus pack wouldn’t even be in existence any longer, he fought for their protection till he could fight no more, but it was not enough to uplift the prosperity of the pack, there’s only so much one wolf can do, all other packs has managed to scale through and succeed after the war period, but the Lotus pack keeps getting worse, especially without an alpha who can’t even stand on his own two feet.
“Princess? … Princess???”
Her thoughts were interrupted again, she realized then that the beta had been calling her a couple of times, there’s just so much going on in her mind right now, making her oblivious to her surroundings.
“I’m sorry… what is it you were saying?”
“I’m taking my leave now and I have to send feedback to the alpha before heading to the cardinal conference, I understand that you calling off the engagement so quickly might have just been reflex; of course, no one likes to hear that type of news just before the main day, I understand if you’ll need some time to think things through, I can tell that to alpha Walden instead.”
Miranda shook her head, “I’m not thinking anything through. My decision stands and nothing will change that. Tell alpha Walden what I told you earlier, the engagement is called off, I’m not doing this anymore.”

After many persuasions that led nowhere, the beta realized then that Miranda’s mind had truly been made up, she was calling off the engagement for real, even though she knew what the repercussions would be, but yet she remained adamant in her decision.He gave it one last attempt before he left.“I understand that you are angry, dear Princess, anyone would be. I’ll be taking my leave now, I’ll tell alpha Walden what you said, but I do hope you’ll change your mind later when you calm down,” he said, standing up.Suddenly the guards burst in to deliver the news of her father’s state to Miranda.“We have called the healer milady; he is now in the alpha’s chambers attending to your father, he has the situation under control.”Miranda nodded, “thank you, I’ll go and see him now, before you go, please escort Beta Finn out of the packhouse, see to it that he makes his way out,” she then turned to the beta, “thank you for visiting sire, you may take your leave now.”********** Alpha Walden l

Right from childhood, Miranda and Walden have chosen each other as mates and were to be married on one of the future cardinal conferences, things went well between the two until the rogue war which disrupted the gatherings, the packs gradually became isolated from each other and Miranda and Walden’s relationship suffered, before he started getting closer to Samara, the daughter to the beta of the night shadow pack.After the gatherings resumed, Walden was no longer as close to her as before, probably because her pack’s status degraded, it was like he was even ashamed to be seen with her. Whenever they met, it was always Samara this… Samara that, she didn’t need anyone to tell her that Walden didn’t love her anymore, but what could a princess who wanted to save her pack do???Now that she’s made this decision, she’s going to stick by it till the end, she doesn’t know what the outcome will be, the only thing she is sure to do is what her wolf says, “follow your heart….”“Ma’am?”She tur

The cardinal conference, the mother of all gatherings amongst the twelve wolf tribes, held annually at the goddess’s crescent, also known as the great wolf’s headquarters. Every year, all pack members would gather there for the grand event which involved performing an ultimate sacrifice to honor and worship the wolf gods, this was a very crucial sacrifice that no tribe dares miss out on, everyone can’t attend of course, but the law states that every single tribe must be represented on the sacrifice ground, and even though the Lotus pack members do not really have the chance to attend, there must be a representative from the pack there to join in the ritual. The Beta of the Lotus pack, Beta Valledor, is usually the one to perform this honor, and has been doing it for a few years now…. But amongst all the warnings and proceedings of the great sacrifice of the cardinal conference, only one wolf tribe dares to flout the rule of representation, and that tribe is none other than the great s

Soon after a few minutes of waiting, the receptionist came to inform her that Beta Valledor was seen in the guest lounge.“Thank you!” More than happy to leave this pit of snakes, Miranda got up and headed towards the guest area, led by the hotel attendant.Valledor was in the guest hall among other pack leaders that were lodging in the hotel for the conference, they were all seated in the lounge, drinking, celebrating, exchanging conversations and laughter. Valledor couldn’t help but boast amongst his peers about the wedding tomorrow.He was a bit tipsy from drinking, but still found words to say, “those of you who look down on the Lotus pack and say bad things about us, you will eat your words when our princess marries the night shadow alpha tomorrow, once we join forces with them, you will never dare to say bad words about us again.”“I hope to see that day,” one of the alphas of the twelve tribes, Caspian said. “But for now, that your princess hasn’t joined alpha Walden in matrimo

Lily ran until her legs could take her no farther, her legs ached after running for so long, till the point at which she felt she would die if she took any more steps, stopping underneath a tree to rest with her head laid down on the forest ground. She looked up panting for a few minutes as she lay, telling the time from the skies, evening had come, she’d better be running home now, else she’d have everyone at home worried. Even though she still felt crappy at what happened a few hours ago, it still didn’t make her change her decision, neither did it make her regret what she did. Nothing, no matter how worse things got, would ever make her regret her decision of refusing to marry Walden.After resting for a while, she got up from the ground, it was a good run, and it was time to go home now. It was when she looked around that she then noticed that she’d entered a different territory. With the different trees and plants that grew around this area, also with the different soil, she coul

“Move it miss! You dare not keep the alpha waiting!”Miranda trembled as each step she took brought her closer to the silver packhouse court, where her fate would be decided for intruding on the pack’s territory, her head was bent as she walked in chains past the city gates, where the majority of the silver wolves lived. As she passed, she could feel their glances pinned on her; the strange prisoner that was being taken into the court to meet with Alpha Damian, she was a she wolf, and she looked so small and innocent, mixed glances of worry and pity overshadowed her as she was taken in.Finally entering the court,“On your knees!” The guards behind her didn’t wait before pushing her mercilessly, so that her knees hit the ground with such painful force. She’d heard a lot of stories, but she never thought it would be this intense. Why were the silver wolves so cold to strangers entering their lands in such manner? And why the HELL didn’t she check properly before wandering into this pla

“Kill her!”Maybe this was the end; this was truly the end for her, she wasn’t sure that there was anything she would say that would move him further, this man was harder than a brick wall, with a heart made of steel.She saw the executioner approaching her then, wearing a mask, a large axe hanging from his hand, ready to carry on with her sentence.Her wolf cried out then.“What are you doing!!!! You can’t give up! You can’t let him kill you just like that!!!”Lily was right, she can still do something about this; maybe there’s a chance her life might still be saved. She began to plead again, her view in line with where alpha Damian was, holding his gaze with desperate eyes, Lily tried to see if she could reach out to his wolf too.“Please! Don’t kill me alpha Damian! Please…. there has to be a way! Anything! I’ll do anything to prove my innocence to you! Anything!”It was almost too late! As the headsman held out the axe standing behind her, in a few seconds, it would be the end, he

Watching the body being taken away, fear pierced Miranda like a knife at his words, but still she didn’t know where the courage to speak so boldly came from.“What do I have to do to prove to you that I am not the enemy?”Everywhere became silent as the alpha contemplated on what to do to regarding the lotus princess’s claim. It took him a while to finally figure out the best way she could vindicate herself. The silence was once again cleared by the sound of his voice.“I will send a message to your father that I am holding you captive for trespassing on my lands. He has to respond to me within three days with the official seal of the alpha of the Lotus pack, only the alpha holds such power. If he does this, then I will know that your claim is true.”“But….”“What?”“What if… what if he can’t….? What if he is unable to respond by that time?”“Then I’ll know you’re a fraud, and you’ve already seen what I do with frauds.”She began to cry again, “No, no, no….! You don’t …. You don’t und

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.

"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
