A small party was held amongst the circle after the treaty, and then a banquet, where the whole town was invited. While her mate sat discussing with alpha Jireh, Miranda sat with the red moon queen, Jireh’s wife, Priya. The older woman was a chatterbox, and you could tell she loved conversations, but Miranda just wasn’t in the right mood that night, she felt strange, like her heart felt something coming, the weather agreed with her too, as all of a sudden, a heavy downpour began, disrupting the banquet that was held in the large packhouse courtyard, everyone ran to take cover, the shades weren’t enough, but still, people found their way, before the party became over and the rain fell harder.“I’m sorry that the celebrations had to end when it was just getting started,” alpha Jireh chuckled as he met Miranda in the hallway where they took cover, their clothes partially drenched.“No need to apologize sire, no one has control of the weather.”He nodded “yes, and…”“Sire.” Jireh was sudd
Miranda heard him all right, but it felt as if she didn’t hear correctly, she wished then that she would just wake up from this terrible nightmare, pinching herself. Oh goddess! Please let this be a dream, let me wake up from this right now! But if only it were.The sharp feeling of pain and regret coursed through her as her knees dropped to the ground, she could hear the loud sound of her voice, but it didn’t feel as if she were screaming, as her mind had shut out her surroundings.“Noooooo!!!!!! Noooooo!!!! It can’t…. it just can’t be!!!! Nooooo!!!!!!” Her voice got louder, to the point where the raging storm sounds from outside seemed so irrelevant.Damian ran to hold her then, “Miranda please…. Calm down… everything will be fine…”Of course, nothing will be fine, nothing will ever remain the same for her again, as her daddy, the one who raised her, the one who’d loved and cared for her since she was born, was no more. She’d never see him again, just like that, he was gone. Alpha J
It hadn’t been long since Samara had just seen Walden, why could he be possibly sending for her again? She wondered. Something must have popped up in between those few minutes. What could it be?She stepped into the court. “You sent for me, sire?”Walden nodded, “yes, please take a seat.”“Is there any problem?”“Yes, there is.”Her heart leaped. What could it be? “What is it, sire?”Walden’s eyes scrutinized her as he spoke, “on the night of your kidnap, you were with someone…”She nodded her head, “yes, I was with my assistant, Raymond.”“Samara, I’m still not very clear on what happened the night you were kidnapped. I’m still searching for answers, especially the one which explains the reason why you and him were out so late at night, long outside of patrol hours.”“Raymond was innocent sire, everything he told you was the truth… I went with him to survey the terrain one more time before…” her eyes began to well up, “… before those horrible men took me away.”“I’m sorry about your
It’s been two days since the Lotus pack lost it’s alpha, and yet the wound still feels fresh for Miranda. The pack’s circle is worried about her condition, so much that they had to call her mate for an urgent meeting today. As he watched her sitting in her father’s old room, she was staring into an empty space, he then recalled all that the pack’s circle had informed him of.“We apologize for having to call this meeting with you alpha Damian, the leadership affairs of the Lotus ought not to be your concern, but given the circumstances of the situation, it seems that we have no other choice. Miranda is your wedded mate, and she is our princess, we are sure that you have her best interests at heart as much as we do. She has to ascend the throne now, the Lotus tribe is already weak as it is without many forces, the fact that we are without a leader will attract many who seek to overthrow our leadership and colonize the little we have managed to achieve. They might even target Miranda as
He watched as her breasts rose and fell with each breath, her nipples prominent in their exposure. His eyes continued down her body to the soft curls that she was sure were glistening with her own desire.He leaned into her again, trailing kisses to the taught nubs of her nipples, encapsulating the sensitive skin with his mouth, and lightly flicking with a skilled tongue. Miranda moaned into his teasing. Her body responded so quickly to his touch, so intensely, she was immediately needing more. She grasped his hands that were firmly holding her rib cage and shifted them, moving them to the mounds of her backside, encouraging their massaging motions. He chuckled under his breath as he pulled back slightly from his ministrations. He looked down, locking eyes with her. Those emerald eyes blazed with adoration, and something else Miranda couldn’t identify but wanted to experience.She knew he could see the wanting in her gaze. He started to pepper kisses down her stomach, offering light l
***20 YEARS AGO***It was a few days before the cardinal conference, and 3-year-old Miranda was excited to go for her first joint cub training on the common ground. She’d been dropped off by her father, alpha Luther that morning before he left to attend to other matters that needed his calling.During this time, the 12 tribes were still together, and the rogue wars had never been expected. There and then, little Miranda got to meet the silver prince, Damian for the first time. After being dropped off by his parents for joint cub training, Little Damian was headed to his group before spotting a little girl crying under the trees, she looked so sad, he wondered why she was there. He could see his group mates from afar, they were already gathered and would begin with the instructors soon. He decided to take a few minutes before then to speak with her.He then walked up to her, “hello.”Miranda sniffed, looking up to see a young boy, far older than her, staring at her. “Who… who are you
He expressed himself by kissing her, much deeper than before, at the same time as he slid one finger past her threshold. Her grip on his hair tightened with every painfully slow thrust of his hand. She bit his lip for him that time as his hands continued to caress her naked cunt. She was dripping.After a few long flourishes with the flat of his tongue, he homed in on her clit, tracing wet, concentrated circles around it as she continued to harden for him. With that, she took more and more of what he had to offer. He was obligingly thrusting two, then three back into the slick between her labia, stretching her just a little more, while his tongue grew more voracious, but steady as ever.Miranda then cupped her breasts, savoring the fullness and weight in her hands. Squeezing, she swept her thumbs across the buds until they were hard. She groaned when she took each nub between a thumb and forefinger.Damian saw her response, her beasts along with her cunt aching with need."You like th
With the help of her mate, Miranda finally summoned the courage to call a meeting with the pack’s circle the next day. She invited the beta this time, as even amid the disagreement she had with him, she still felt the need for him to be present as he was to be involved in anything regarding the leadership affairs of the lotus.“I want to thank you all for your support thus far in holding onto the reigns of the lotus during my inactivity. I apologize if I gave you a hard time in trying to reach me, I hope that you’ll understand that I needed enough time for what happened.”One of the lotus circle elders, Kione, dismissed her apology, stating, “princess, we all understand perfectly, so please do not apologize to anyone, as we all wish we could have given you more time, but this could not be postponed any further.”Miranda looked around and saw the other members nodding in unison to what Kione said. Seeing that she had their full support, she continued.“I am ready now to take up my inhe
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
