Donald
As I looked at the scene around me, anger coursed in my veins. It was infuriating to hear what my mate was saying, and I wanted so much to stand up and shut her mouth. I couldn't believe what was flowing through my ears, and I wondered if the pack elders were feeling the same way I felt. My body was shaking with anger, and I vaguely heard my beta trying to calm me down. The only thing on my mind was figuring out how Julie could say these sort of things.
I couldn't understand if she was being vengeful or if there was something else attached. However, I didn't find any reason why she would suggest what she did. I was even more surprised to hear her breakdown of the Alpha position, as I had never seen it that way. She made it seem like my father had stolen everything away from her, and that was part of the things I couldn't understand. My father had only taken over when her parents were killed.
Either way, I felt so annoyed and bewildered that
JulieImmediately the men said what they needed from me, I couldn't help but break into a smile. I had been thinking that they would ask a difficult task from me, one I wouldn't be able to achieve. Donald's uncle had informed me that there would be a condition before they would allow me to be the Alpha, but he didn't know what it would be. This was the reason I began to smile when they said that all they needed was a mate.A part of me thought that the pack elders were very funny and not very wise, because I could easily go out and look for someone that would be my mate and present to them. After all, that was the same thing that Donald did and none of the said anything. However, I wasn't going to be like him and besides, I didn't have the energy to run around like that. Not when I already had a mate, someone who was sitting right in front of me.Donald. I spared a look at him and our eyes met, his flashing dangerously with different emotions. I kn
DonaldI glared at all the pack elders as I wondered how they could be listening to Julie's claims with so much interest. It was like they had totally rebuffed my words, and instead fell to her charms and promise of more power. It was like they weren't aware that it was the Alpha who would have the power and not the people themselves directly. It was very annoying to watch, yet I had to suffer through it.The men continued to listen as she informed them about a powerful mate, who she was pregnant for. I tried to ignore the fire burning in my veins as she talked about another man in front of me. While I desperately wondered who the person was, I was also surprised that the pack elders were buying her claims and convincing themselves that she was an important asset of the Villeyfield Pack.I felt like gathering all the old men together, including my uncle, and beating them all to stupor. They were displaying their ignorance and craze for power in front of Julie, and she was taking advan
DonaldIf a pin had fallen in the meeting room at that moment, everyone in Villeyfield Pack would have heard it. The silence in the room hung thick like heavy curtains draped over a dark room. Everyone stared at one another with a look of surprise and anger filling their faces. It was like Julie's words had put a stop to everything, and the only thing ringing in our heads was why she would ask for something like that. Though her request didn't surprise me, the intent did.Her words simply meant that she was always after freeing her pack members, and if the elders had made her Alpha, that would have been the first thing she did. It sounded ridiculous to me that she would not only want the other rogues to be released, but also for them to be made members of the pack. It was a far stretch to me, and I honestly didn't think the pack elders would agree to it.However, to my greatest surprise and mild annoyance, they began to nod their heads. They looked
RayAs I strolled through the pack house, I oddly remebered how the previous day had gone. We had been having a meeting with the pack elders about the fate of the other rogues when Donald's mate walked in. She carried a strange sense of confidence and pride about her, and I couldn't help but sigh. Immediately, I knew that she hadn't come for anything good. It wasn't up to five minutes after my thought that she declared her interest in becoming Alpha.More than that, she wanted to replace Donald. Her argument was that she could do better, and had more right to the position than he did. Even though I had expected her to do something irrational, I hadn't foreshadowed those words. It instantly seemed to me like something a person had told her to say. While I knew Julie to be a rogue, she wasn't the type to go around requesting for her rights. I had heard about her long before she came into our lives.And I knew she fought for what she wanted, not waiti
JulieThere was a renewed vigor in my mind when the bright Ray's of the sun got me out of bed the next morning. I was still feeling sick from all the exhaustion I had put myself through, and coupled with the fact that I hadn't been eating properly, my body was in pains. It struck me as odd that Geraldine hadn't been around for days, and it was beginning to get disturbing. Normally, she would be in the room waiting with a plate of food.However, there was no one around and I had been instructing the guard outside my room to bring me food before I could eat. It was easy to notice that it wasn't Geraldine's food and it was deeply worrisome. No one seemed to know where she was, and even when I asked Ray, he was confused as the rest of us. I began to wonder if she had ever gotten around to telling Donald about the child.However, his actions towards me showed that nothing had changed. He was still the same person he had been at the wedding, and a part o
DonaldI walked out of my room, heading towards the living area for another meeting. The pack elders had called me to discuss the fate of Julie's status as a member of the pack. I was also supposed to accept her status as one of the pack's elders. That left me with mixed feelings, but I could do nothing about it. It wasn't like trying to convince her to change her demands would yield any results.Also, I was still skeptical about talking much with her considering what she thought about my family. It still sounded absurd to me that she thought if my father as a murderer, and in her mind, I had stolen the amazing life she could have had. I shook my head as I tried to understand who was feeding her with the lies. Ray suggested that it was my uncle, but that couldn't be possible. I had never seen the both of them talking before, and it would certainly be odd.Also, I knew my uncle had issues with me ruling the lack, but k didn't think it was deep enough to lie to Julie and conspire agains
JulieI couldn't believe that everything happened so soon, and I felt like running to thank the pack elders. They had easily fulfilled my wish to have my friends released, and in less than twenty four hours, my best friend was standing in front of me. It felt like a dream come true, the type I had been waiting for so many weeks. I looked at Sharon's face again and hugged her tightly, trying to inhale her scent and keep her longer with me.I had felt so lost without her, and all I wanted to do was tell her about everything that had been going on. So much had happened since they were locked away, and I desperately needed to fill her in. Maybe she could advice me and tell me how best to proceed with the attack that I was going to do the next day. However, when I pulled away from the hug and looked into her face, I could see how pale and tired she looked.While I had been enjoying myself and eating well, my best friend and my other friends were sufferi
JulieAs Sharon's words echoed in my mind, I tried to block her out and instead listen to my own voice prompting me to do whatever it took to destroy Donald and make him pay for everything. I looked towards the window where I could see the pack members arranging for the new induction of a pack elder. Most of them didn't know who it was, but they were still excited to welcome someone new. I wondered if they would still be happy I they knew it was me.It was a bit painful to know that my own people hated me, because I was a rogue leader but they didn't hate the family that had killed their original Alpha and made their daughter run away to save herself. It wasn't fair in my eyes, and I wanted to correct that wrong. I wanted my people to know that I was still there for them, and I treasured them. Above all, I wanted to show them that I was sorry for everything.That was the only reason my plans against Donald felt wrong, but I pushed that mentality do
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
