Julie
Immediately the men threw Sharon and I into the cage, they bolted it and turned to leave. I shook the cage furiously, screaming after them but they ignored me and walked away, leaving us in the dark tiny cell. Frustrated, I turned to my friend who was calmly sitting at a corner of the cell, my head bent over and I walked to meet her. My hands were still balled into fists and I wanted to punch the wall, but one look at the hard concrete and I knew it would be of no use.
More than half of my people were dead from the few minutes of onslaught by Donald's pack. Even our attempt at escape was futile, as he still captured us eventually. Now my remaining army was in the other cells, injured and at near death. I continued to glare ahead of me, and after a moment, I screamed loudly till my throat started to hurt. Beside me, Sharon held
DonaldI bolted the door of my office and fell into step beside Ray who had just finished interrogating the last of the rogues. Just like the others, they had spat at his feet and threatened that they would find their way out of the prison and come back for him. I felt a bit bad for him because he had borne the brunt of their anger, but I also wasn't surprised at their crudeness. Rogues were generally impulsive and hot headed, which was why they couldn't conform to the stable rules of their pack and ended up being thrown out of their communities. For all their senseless arguments and tales of being better than the normal packs, they went around causing nuisance and killing innocent people.I put my hand over his shoulder in support and soon, we arrived at the wide clearing in front of the pack house where the Pack elders were seated
DonaldI stormed into my office and slammed the door shut behind me, vaguely hearing the echo it made throughout the rest of the house. My mind was filled with so many thoughts about what to do with the elders as well as the rogues to prevent a clash from either side. On one side, the elders were thirsty for the blood of the rogues that had plagued their lives for more than half a decade, but on the other hand, my mate was among them.I groaned and buried my head between my hands. The unfortunate situation had left me looking like an enemy from both sides of the fence, not like I cared much about the rogues, but still. My phone vibrated inside my pocket and when I brought it out, there was a text from Damien. Unsurprisingly, he wanted to know if Julie and her rogues had truly been captured. A tingle ran through my back as I stared at
JulieI blinked my eyes open and looked around me, scrambling to get into a sitting position as a small wave of panic fluttered into my chest. Where was I? I thought, trying to adjust to the darkness of the small space as well as the coldness of the floor. A shiver ran through me and I called out to my wolf to offer me some body heat, but she was absent and didn't answer. At that point, my head began to ache so I subconsciously raised my hand to rub at it which was when I noticed Sharon lying at a corner opposite me. Her eyes were closed and I crawled over to her immediately, my heart beating wildly in my chest as I feared for the worst.Thankfully, she was breathing heavily with her fur slightly noticeable through her overalls. It seemed like she felt cold as well, and her wolf responded to her body temperature. At that point, I fel
DONALDThe night was silent, save for the occasional howling of my guards as they patrolled around the area, willing to sink their teeth and claws into any intruder. Valleyfield Pack had a huge expanse of land, running deep into the mountains and past some bodies of water. We had it all; land, water, shelter, population, everything except a Luna.My people had been asking for a queen to call their own for the past four years, and that was the only thing I hadn't been able to provide them. In my quest to look for my mate, I had toured all the kingdoms going to their most and least reclusive places to search for my mate. Everytime, I came back with a forlorn face, the disappointment in my elders and people disheartening. Finally, just when I decided to give up on the search, I found her. The person my people needed to finally be comple
RAYAs I sat on the bean chair in silence, my best friend paced up and down the length of the wide room, sighing every two seconds. After a moment, I cleared my throat and looked up at him. "Can you please sit down? You're moving up and down isn't allowing me think clearly."He stared at me for a second with glassy eyes that looked unfocused, before he shook his head and sat beside me again. "What do we do? The rogues are gone. All of them."I couldn't believe it myself. Donald hadn't even set his plans in motion yet his mate and her rogues had outsmarted us. A shiver rose up my back at the thought. If the rogues were free again, with the vengeance they had for our pack, I couldn't begin to imagine what they had in store for us.
JULIEWhen I woke up for the third time that day, Geraldine was still sitting in the same position. A red leather chair positioned in one corner of the room that slowly rocked back and forth and the vegetarian cookbook was still in her hands, but her eyes were closed. I yawned quietly and moved into a sitting position, about to take the glass of water positioned on the drawer beside my bed when I realized something.The old woman hadn't even stirred when I sat up. Usually, she would be all over the place trying to make sure I was comfortable but not this time. I squinted my eyes at her relaxed form and watched as her chest rose and fell slowly with deep breaths and I smiled. Maybe this time, my plan will work.I cautiously left my bed and tiptoed towards the door, my eyes totally focused on the exit. If I was fast enough, I would be out of the room before she realized what was happening. Within a short time, I reached it and when I turned back, the woman's eyes were still closed. I gr
DONALDI stormed out of Julie's room with my blood boiling and my hands curled into fists. She always found a way to annoy me and I felt like punching my arm through the wall. I couldn't believe she was still begging for the lives of the rogues when she certainly knew what needed to be done. It was bad enough that I rescued her and was hiding her in my pack house, let alone rescuing the others as well.In my opinion, she should be grateful for the opportunity I was giving her. I knew that most Alphas would have risked it and killed her along, not minding that she was their mate. Yet, here I was protecting her from the people who wanted her head and putting my own reputation on the line. I didn't want to think about what would happen if the elders and other Alphas knew that the rogue leader they fought so hard to look for was actually still in the pack and under my protection.On the other hand, I was also scared of her reaction. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't get the thought o
JulieTick tock. Tick tock. The clock moved slowly as I stared at it for the tenth time in a minute. My heart was pounding and no matter how I tried to calm down, I couldn't stop thinking about the fate of my people. My rogue family that were most likely in the presence of others being ridiculed and put to death. I shuddered at the thought and moved out of the bed, my hand shakily carrying the water on the bedside table. I quickly gulped it down until nothing but a drop was left inside. I frowned at it and poured another glass from the pitcher beside it, holding it up to my lips as beads of sweat pooled on my forehead. I walked over to the only open window beside my bed and peered down, but there was nothing to see except shrubs and a small garden.I hissed at it and turned away, glancing at the time again. It was more than fourty-five minutes since Donald left my room and I hadn't heard a single word from him or any of the palace helps. Everywhere was silent and more than anything e
The air was fresh and scented like hope and promises of a very beautiful night. The warm breeze of that evening flowed through the curtains of the expensive restaurant they had picked for their vacation , outside the moon shined bright and full with it rays piercing through the cloudless sky. It was a perfect night for the two lovers who walked hand in hand illuminated by the lights of that beautiful night . Julie looked more beautiful than the night , adoring herself in a long floral violet dress . As they walked into the restaurant they searched around for their names on a table they had booked earlier for that occasion . The table where they both sat bore roses in a vintage vase and was covered with white beautiful french linen . A young couple aseated a stone throw from their table appeared to draw Donald attention and having noticed that he was far gone and lost in thought Julie was prompted to ask Donald what the reason was for his sudden distraction .
Epilogue ll*Donald* No matter how eventful that day went, it was finally over. Aurelia was dead finally, she was burnt and her remain had been emptied into the wind. She was dead and gone, gone for good, going from everyone's lives but will remain forever in our thoughts, we must admit. We all walked back home in tense awkward silence, I glanced over at Julie and when she caught me staring a while later she gave me an inquisitive gaze. Dinner that night was a well-made steak, we both took our time to cut each piece and enjoy the savoury taste of the best meal we've had in the last three days. After the meal, I helped Julie put the twins to bed they were growing pretty fast most especially Charlie who had howled for the first time that day, the twins were beautiful in their sleep and as we watched them Julie rested her head on my shoulder as we both smiled. " I will be in the pent room. " I whispered as I gave her a wink. After taking a cold long shower, I brou
Epilogue.Julie smiled as Donald's fingers curled her hand in his, the warmth was satisfying as ever. Everything was just in place, her little pumpkin was one year old. Feels as dreamy as ever, it wasn’t all perfect but they made it work. It had been all of a year. It was a beautiful evening, flakes of snow fell lightly. The party was as incredible as they plan, anything to make them happy. Julie watched Sharon play with the kids while Donald went on to have a chat with Ray.“Can’t believe it, they grow pretty fast?” Julie said to Sharon as she picked a glass of Wine.“I know right!” Sharon grinned and rubbed her belly, “ and this little one right here…""Yea that little nugget,” Julie said quickly before Sharon could finish. “Can’t wait to be its godmother.” They both giggled and hugged.“I can’t believe I’m having a baby too.”“Yea.. no worries sweetie, I'll be just right here through it all.” Julie gave a warm smile and cupped Sharon’s face."I know right,” Sharon squeezed her
*Donald* Aurelia was bounded in chains, and kept in a cage, while we traveled back to Villeyfield. She strained upon the chains, trying to cut them lose, but it was all to no avail . At times she would Cuss, and hoping to rouse pity, she would burst into tears, sadly no one paid attention. She kept quiet as the pack travelled in the woods. When I passed the cage later, she had reached for my shirt and begged for mercy ,deep down I felt pity for her; as she was once my wife, but after what she had just done I was quick to decide she needed no mercy. At least not mine. It took longer to get to Villeyfield, as many of those wounded in the park had to be cared for. Julie took her time going round and,offering help to who ever needed it , Sharon was of great help as well. Aurelia knew what was coming to her , she knew she would be put on a trial, and made to hang if found guilty. She was scared of this fate, but there was nothing she could do now to turn back the hands of time, it was
CHAPTER 125 *Donald* Everyone in the room had changed into their wolf form and st the signal from Aurelia they attacked. Julie ran toward her again and took a big leap in the air but was attacked mid air by one of Aurelia packs , I was distracted by that and didn't see when one her men hit me across the face with his fist , as I feel to the ground spitting out blood I looked up and came face to face with a man way taller and bigger than I was . He picked me off the ground like a piece of paper and started tossing me around then he tried strangling me ,just about the time I was about losing consciousness I saw Ray turning toward him from the corner of my eyes . Ray hit with his fist till he got distracted and I was able to free myself from his grips , Ray and myself took different turns him and tearing him with our claws , he caught Ray and fling him across the room and as he turned toward me I was able to blow out the dust in my palm into his eyes . That was enough di
*Aurelia*The twins had been a trouble to me since I kidnapped them, I laughed to myself again after remembering how easy it was the day I had abducted them, I thought about how I had deceived the whole of Valleyfield pack with the little fuss that night and made away with the twins while everyone was distracted and no one was looking, I had written the letter my self earlier that day and while I kidnapping the twins one my most trusted guards was at Donald home dropping the letter. It was a perfect plan well carried out. The fact one of the twins looked like Donald a lot made me angrier but no matter how crazy I was at their parents or how mad the twins made me each time they cried I could not bring myself to cause harm to them, all I wanted was their mother dead, then I would go back to Donald and wait for a while before coming with an idea to bring the twins back. I had not expected Donald or his pack to find me or know I was the one behind the kidnap, deep in my mind I w
*Donald*When I saw Julie with a letter I didn't know what to expect, as I held the thin paper in my hands."Could this be a clue?" I thought to myself."Could this be those that abducted my boys asking for a ransom?" A lot of questions were running through my mind as I read the letter with trembling fingers, As read through the letter word by word, reading through the threats and conditions I could swear something was familiar with the letter, the way it was written but I couldn't quite figure it out and so I read it again and again and again till..." That daughter of a bitch !" I cussed.I knew who it was with the way the letter "R " was curved at the edges here and there and the excessive use of uppercase letters, only one person could that and that was my ex-wife " Aurelia "." Why would she do something like this? ""What audacity! " I was raging Julie must have seen my reaction and I could see her eyes lit with a glitter of hope." Do you know who that is?" She asked."Do yo
*Julie* I could see his lips tremble, I had never seen Donald this scared, confused and uncoordinated in a long while, It was so intense that as he walked toward me I could sense every bit of emotions eating him up all summing up to fear, a deep dark fear. " Julie! " he murmured as his voice cracked. That was far as he could say before his voice was betrayed by all these penned emotions as he broke into a brief sob he tried so hard to mumble with his fists. "I am so sorry I could not protect them " Donald whispered As he cradled my head against his chest, I could hear his heart beating fast, I had meant to tell him it wasn't his fault the boys were kidnapped but I was overwhelmed by deep sorry also and could do nothing than drench his shirt with my tears. When the guards Ray had sent earlier came back with no single traces of the twins or their whereabouts Donald's mood switched immediately to one I was more familiar with. He was furious at himself and when there was not
*Donald* As I stood by my best friend Ray and two other men that must have belonged to the highly ranked family of the pack as both were dressed quite expensively, we all sipped a locally brewed wine chatting and laughing about the recent happenings and commenting on other things including women, initially I had turned down the offer of alcohol but remembering how angry Julie must have been right now about the party, I had to drink to take my mind off it and whatever might come up later at the same time I controlled what I drank because I was watching over the twins, one of the twins was awake as he chuckled and clasp my pinky finger, suckling at it.Ray mentioned that one of the twins looked a lot like me and the two men agreed and cheered aloud waking the other twin they were drunk, I shushed them as I rocked the Colt side to side trying to put them back to sleep, as my mind wandered back to the party.Truly, I never liked parties or social events being a private person but t
