Samara's duties along with her arranged plans to sneak out temporarily has made her extremely busy these past few days. She's had less frequent meetings with Walden, she hasn't even been able to see Valledor nor update him about their plans, but not to worry, she's made certain that even if sky falls down today, nothing will stop her from going to visit the rogue king.She's made sure to prepare well ahead and now she's ready, she'll be departing from the night shadow pack house tonight and by the next day, she would have gotten to her destination.She then called into her room, one of the night shadow guards working for her."Raymond!!!!"He was close by, and so he heard her call him, rushing in as soon as she did."Yes, madame?" He answered."What's the update?""Done ma'am. I've put some men in place to cover up for us while we're gone, and I've also made certain that only those on our team will be on guard duty tonight. No one will see us when we leave."She nodded. "Good, and hav
"Because of all you did to her, because of how YOU treated her, Miranda has left you for someone that couldn't have been a more better fit for her happiness, and I CANNOT but wish her so much more than she would have ever had with you...""If you expect me to feel sorry for you because of this, better know now that's the last thing I'd do."Sandy's words kept on hammering into his head. He'd been seated amidst this rubble for hours, and still he didn't feel like getting up. He suddenly began to hear his wolf, nudging him."You can't remain here like this feeling pity for yourself Walden. You have to rise like the alpha you are.""What's an alpha without a Luna?" Miranda was supposed to be his queen, she was supposed to be married to him and not Damian."Still an alpha." His wolf answered."Yes, you're right." I AM still an alpha, and I shouldn't crawl or cower because of words that any woman says to me...."But then... Sandy might have been harsh, but she was right about one thing, he
The cold splash of water on her face made Samara jolt awake instantly. Her eyes slowly fluttered open as she tried to make out her surroundings. She realized then that she was in a dark room illuminated with only a small white bulb where she sat."W-where.... Where am I? What the..." she tried to move, but she was tightly chained to a chair. All her efforts to break free remained futile."Don't waste your time honey, you're currently held captive by the finest bonds of steel.... Nothing, not even the strongest wolf powers can break free.."She was hearing the voice of a man, but couldn't make out anyone with her eyes because of the poor lighting.A figure came into view then, the dominant voice belonged to a tall heavily muscled wolf, whose face was covered with a mask."Who are you?" She yelled. "What do you want with me???""Oh honey, you're not the one we're targeting...""Then why am I here???""You're here only as bait dear, we are simply trying catch a bigger fish.""Who are you
"Her name is Miranda. She was supposed to get married to alpha Walden, but their engagement got canceled because she got married to someone else. Still, that doesn't change the way Walden feels about her, he's crazy for her, and if there's anyone whom Walden would go as far as risking his life for, it's not me, it's her. No one but her."He nodded, "I see, so where is this Miranda? And where can I find her?""That's the hard part of it; Miranda happened to be foolishly trespassing one day on restricted territory. She was captured by the silver alpha Damian and taken in as his prisoner. Alpha Damian forced her to marry him against her will to save her life and that of her people, she is still with him as a slave up till now.""This marriage to the silver alpha, you said that's the reason why Miranda's engagement with Walden was canceled?""Yes, that's the only reason why. Walden was crazy about it but he didn't want to risk his army by fighting with the silver alpha for Miranda, so the
"So how do we forge ahead with our plan boss? That silver territory is nearly impenetrable. If you're found sneaking in, you'll be caught and killed immediately!""I know, that's why we have spies in every territory, so we don't have to sneak in to get what we want.""Spies? I'm afraid we no longer have any of those there again boss, they've all been executed."The boss's eye shook, "all of them???"He nodded, "yes boss, every single last one of em, they were all found out and sentenced to death by the silver alpha himself. It'd be suicide if we dared to go in there and kidnap someone like we did Samara.""But there's a lot of money at stake that we can't lose! We have to get that girl no matter what!""How do we get her when we can't go in there?""No one says we have to go in there to bring her out, we only have to get someone who's already inside to help us, and I know just who to call."**********Miranda was in the kitchen that morning after breakfast, supervising the activities
"We live in the lower town ma'am, we're the commoners that make up the majority of the silver wolves.""Oh, I see.""Yes ma'am. So you see we do not even have any privileges like those living in the pack house apart from those of us who work here. Very few of us get few chances to meet with royalty like you.""And you would all like to meet your new Luna in person...""Yes ma'am. Just for once, all of us would like to meet our queen without fear of being kicked aside by the wolf guards whenever we approach you. We would wish for nothing more than a chance to dine with you and shower you with praises.""Ok then, I'll take a walk on my own this evening without any of the guards escorting me, and then, I'll visit the lower town to see you all."Leah's eyes lit up then, of course this was an answer she didn't expect. She didn't know when she even started jumping."Oh really ma'am???? You'll come??? You'll come and see us on your own?"Miranda nodded, "yes. I will. I too have wanted a chan
Upon reaching outside, Miranda was stopped by the guards at the gate from going any further..."We're sorry miss, you can't go out so late on your own like this. The alpha would kill us if he found out we let you." They tried to explain."It's OK," she said. "My mate already knows about this. Give him a call for permission if that's what you're concerned about."He nodded at her before going into the guard station to make the suggested call, but his comrade had already been given the instruction."Let her out," he told him.They opened for her, and as Miranda left through the large gates, Leah was already waiting for her outside."Good evening ma'am!" She bowed politely."Good evening Leah, and thank you for this chance."She shook her head, "no ma'am! Thank you! Thank you for agreeing to honor us with your presence this evening."She acknowledged with a nod, "shall we begin the journey?""Yes ma'am, we may."The two began walking past the lands, the wide areas surrounding the pack ho
"We're leaving now, come dear, you don't have to return to that place... Come with us.""W-w-what are you going to do with Miranda???" She feared."Nothing you should worry your little head about dear. The most important thing to you should be that you've done something that you will live to enjoy for the rest of your life. We'll have so much money after this, and we'll live together like family now.... Come dear, let's go now that there's still time...."She shook her head stepping back, "no!!!! You never told me that this is the kind of business you were into! Had it been I knew, I'd have NEVER called you uncle!""Leah!!! Do you want the silver guards to come and catch us arguing here?! I won't stand here to tolerate your rudeness! Let us go this instant!""I'm not going anywhere with you!""So you choose to remain here instead? You choose to remain here even risking the fact that the alpha will kill you once his mate does not return? You choose to die like that, huh???""It's bette
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
