With his eyes glowing like a blazing fire, he drew out the sword thrown at his heart…while still struggling to pull out the one on his back, he felt a palm that gripped his shoulder and drew out the sword.He swirled his neck backwards to see the young man at her back. "Zeus…" He mentioned in shock."Your Highness…""Go after them." One of the rogues screamed, and they all rushed towards Alpha Hayden whose cloak was already soaked with blood. Zeus unsheathed his sword and pushed him aside. "You need to leave this place now, the king needs to heal you.""They are much for you alone.""That sword is a silver sword, you need to heal immediately before it concentrates in your blood." Zeus persisted and began slashing his sword on the rogues.Alpha Hayden watched the scene and shook his head, watching the rogues scare him away isn't proper.He gathered the little strength in him and picked up his own sword, then joined Zeus to attack the rogues. *Ava met the king on the way into the wo
Jason headed into the boutique alone, he began picking some beautiful maternity gowns for Ophelia. He made sure to pick some undies and other necessary things which he was sure she would need with him. He got seated on one of the couches. "It's been over ten minutes since she went to the restroom, what's keeping her there?" He glanced at her wrist watch.Relaxed again, until thirty minutes elapsed. He stood up and moved to the sales receptionist. "Is there any other restroom here apart from the one outside?"She nodded. "Yes sir, the one inside this building.""But she never came inside with me." He took a deep breath. "You know what? Package those clothes, I'll go search for her in the restroom, I need to be sure that she's okay."The sales receptionist acceded and watched him leave.Jason made his way to the restroom but to his greatest shock, it was empty."What is going on with Ophelia? Is she just making a fool of me?" He thought and moved towards his car while his cell phone w
"Tyson, is this a prank or what? How dare you take me into your wretched home?" Aurora yelled at her rejected mate.He stared at her for a while and was about to leave without saying anything to her….but she drew him backwards. "You aren't leaving here until you tell me how I got into this but you call a house." Aurora obstructed his way."For two days now, you never found out that you've been in a hut huh? I've been feeding you all these days yet you never found out that I'm not your Alpha?"Aurora shook her head. "You spellbinded me right? I'm very sure you did, because you can't just follow a girl like you.""Am I not rejected already?""Of course you are rejected. I have nothing to do with you any longer." She snapped. "And I hope the Alpha will crown you, but he did that to his mate." Tyson added.Aurora bit her lower lips. "Beta Tyson, he did that for a reason. And trust me when I say that the bitch be called his mate is nowhere to be found. I am the upcoming Luna of this pack
"Uhmm! I don't need you to ask me my name. Just call me Ophelia." She uttered and licked her lips."Is that really a name?"Ophelia jumped from the seat. "Are you okay? Even if my name is strange, you should consider it as someone's name." She yelled at the young lady, hating the fact that everyone's complaining about her name sounding useless.That's none of her business as it stands."I don't need you to do this work. You dare not shout at me.""Really?" She arched her brows staring at the lady sitting on the sofa. "Do you think you'll get a cleaner if not me? Or you think that I'll leave just that way huh?" She folded her arms across her chest. "The truth is that I'll never leave this house, whether I'm a cleaner or not…just show me my room or I'll take one myself."The young lady stood up and walked closer to her. "How do I even believe that you're a human when your eyeballs are this way? I think you should leave my house immediately.""You think I should." Ophelia got seated agai
TWENTY MONTHS LATER…"Are you coming back home or not?" A young man screamed at Ophelia who was busy dressing up her kids.She lifted her face and stared at him. "Coming back to you for what reason? I already told you plainly that you should let me and my kids be."She took a glance at the twin brothers who were busy playing with their toy.For twenty months now, she has been living alone in the town. After the day Jason drugged her and took her to the hospital, she was unaware of what happened next…but she woke up to see both Jason and the doctor on the floor. She stared at her belly to see that it wasn't touched yet, from that point…she took to her heels out of the hospital and fell into the trap of rapists. Was she really raped?That was a question Ophelia still couldn't give an answer till date.And here is the rapist claiming that the kids are as a result of his forced intimacy with her."Whether you raped me or attempted to, you went against the law. And if you keep pestering
"He's cold already, is there any means of reviving him? Even if it's for a moment." Ares referred to the two brothers that stood dumbfounded. Alpha Hayden glanced at his brother who gave a slight nod. "He will only revive for a moment." Alpha Hayden muttered and walked closer to the corpse.The crowd already cleared, making it easier for him. He cut his palm and dropped the blood on his wounded heart…and immediately, the dead man coughed out blood."Hey! Are you back to life?" Ares stared at his face.He stared at the faces of the three men standing before him, believing the reason they were around. He dipped his palm into his pocket and threw a folded piece of paper. "You'll find her with that Address." Was the last statement he made to the king before giving up again.The Alpha went through the Address and nodded,then turned to his beta. "Send a message to the guards to come over and take care of this corpse while we leave immediately." Ares did as he was ordered before they left
Ophelia headed to the Summit Pack with Alpha Asher who felt on top of the world for having the woman he had longed for by his side. They reached the palace and he called in his beta into his chamber. "Her presence here should be a secret, get at least two maids who will serve her and the kids…at least five guards that will surround her. Take her to the last building in the palace after it's furnished." Alpha Asher stated to the hearing of his beta.The young man bowed and left in order to get everything ready, while Ophelia waited in one of the empty rooms.Diana came over to see the Alpha when one of the maids announced to her of the presence of Ophelia in the palace, out of anger, she barged into the chamber to meet her Alpha. "Give me just a reason you choose her over your mate." She uttered, her voice calm but teary.She hates the fact that the Alpha never rejected her as his mate…but then, he chose another female over her."I don't think I have a reason, but she's the female t
The next day, Ophelia has already packed into the last building in the palace with her kids. She had visited the Alpha to have a brief discussion with him because of his mate…but he declined having a discussion with her once it has to do with Diana. She didn't mind any longer, the only burden she has is the well being of her kids. "Prepare their meal." She ordered one of the maids who watched as she dressed up the kids."Your Highness, what's their name?" The maid tried inquiring, but she shook her head. "You shouldn't be after their name, just prepare their meal." She didn't mind glancing at the maid who focused her gaze on her face.Even the moon goddess knows that she trusts no one in the palace…no one but herself. Coming over to the palace with Asher is one and only option she had to survive with her kids. As long as they live healthy, then she has no other problem."Aurora will find out that I'm alive, and might go in search of me…even Alpha Wymond won't sit back this time, th
"Where is Ophelia?" Alpha Wymond shrieked at Ava who held the kid by her two hands. She turned backwards to see Alpha Hayden staring at her too."When did you become deaf?" The king began climbing down the veranda stairs."Wait!" Ava sighed heavily. "I can't tell at this moment, she handed the kids to me and ordered that I live…according to her, she has two options, to live or to die with Aurora." She stated and took a glance at her Alpha. "I had to leave as she ordered, and I believe she's fine." She concluded. Alpha Wymond clenched his fist after releasing loud hiss to the hearing of everyone. "Do you think she can survive in the hands of a Lycan?" His hoarse voice startled Ava. "Fine, I must find her or I don't see any reason to live as well." He threw his staff on the floor and took to his heels. Alpha Hayden didn't say a word, rather he lifted the kids into his arms. "Where is my son?" She asked Ava. She pointed at the building. "Asleep."They moved into the building together
Aurora tied the kids together and laid them on the ground, she already got a pepperish leaf and rubbed the whole of their body so that they cried out their eyes. "Your mother thinks she's being wise enough. So long as I don't have my own kid, she won't have hers…because I lost him because of his brother."She soliloquized while hitting a stick on the ground.Her eyes focused on the kids as they shed hot balls of tears, but she never felt pity for them."Now, I've lost my father and I don't even have anywhere to go…I'll make sure to bring everyone down and take over this land." She uttered audibly, but was startled by the sound that hit her ears.She kept mute for a while, focusing in order to hear the sound again but didn't, rather she felt a stick thrown on her feet.This time, she stood up and grabbed the sword she got from her fathers house that she visited recently. "Whoever it is should better show his or herself." She thought, taking slow but steady steps out of the area she h
Ares walked closer t0 Ophelia. "Tell me this is a joke? The king took them into his room himself and laid them down." He referred to Ophelia, sweating profusely. Ophelia bit her finger. "Do you think I'm pranking with my kids? Go check for yourselves if you still don't believe it." She retorted and scratched her head. The king twitched out of the room to his in order to confirm what Ophelia was talking about. It seems like a folk tale since he laid them on the bed himself and no one has the right to step into his room without his order. Ares and Alpha Hayden didn't hesitate to go with him, and to their greatest shock, what Ophelia was complaining of was true."Search thoroughly." The king ordered his brother and Beta, but still, not even their shadow was seen."What are you going to do now? This isn't child play and someone is behind this." Alpha Hayden referred to his brother.The king sighed heavily. "Gather the guards and maids." He ordered and moved out of his room into his cha
Ava was seated outside when an arrow almost hit her, she rolled off and it hit the wall, then fell on the ground. "It seems like a message, Ava." One of the guards said to her, relieving her a bit. She stood up and took the sheet from the guard, then went through it thoroughly. "Exactly what she said earlier." She murmured and stood on her feet in order to go meet Ophelia, but the guard called her back. "Any problems?" She inquired. The guard pointed backwards. "Those ones are werewolves, what should I do to them?""They must be here for some important reasons." Ava replied to him and walked inside. She met Ophelia who was about to step into her room and tapped her shoulder. "An arrow was shot into the palace with this sheet, Diana sent it." She whispered to her.Ophelia took it away from her and began going through it."And the maid and guard are already here." Ava added. She chiseled her face. "I need to see them." Ophelia retorted. "No need, the maid gave me this to give to
Diana left immediately after revealing what she had in mind to Ophelia. She didn't care if she believed her or not…the fact that she had relieved her mind was enough for her to have rest of mind. When she reached the summit pack, a maid and a guard were dressed up, leaving the palace…but she had to hide in order not to be seen. "What is Alpha Asher up t0? How many times will I tell her t0 stay away from Aurora's plan? I can see he has a death wish or maybe wants to lose the throne." She murmured and walked into the palace. The heaviness in her heart made it difficult to stand before the Alpha, the least she was able to do was head over to her room."He's very wrong by dragging the Lycan King's mate to himself, and now he wants to get rid of them because he didn't win…what sort of stupidity is that?" She bit her lower lips.Recalling how many times she begged for his love, she broke out in tears. What is it that she will do again for him to forget Ophelia or anything concerning her
"I can't let this happen, even though Ophelia once dealt with me with her presence here, but I wouldn't blame her." Diana thought while eavesdropping on the conversation between Alpha Asher and Aurora. At the same time, she was disappointed that her Alpha was taking action towards something illegal. "I need to confront him or I'll expose him. He can't do that to the king who did nothing to him…he should be judged for dragging his mate with him in the first place when I'm still living." She contemplated within her.In order not to be caught, she tiptoed back to her room and ordered a maid to alert her after Aurora had left.Few minutes after she left, the maid came over with the news of Aurora's leave, then she went over to Alpha Asher in his chamber. "Are you really planning to take the royal Lycans? Do you think it's going to be possible?" Diana confronted him.He scratched his head. "Though you hated Ophelia and the king, don't you want them down too?" He replied to her with a qu
"That bitch! Why am I even scared of her?" Aurora cursed while seated on a brick taking a rest from the run she had been on because of Ophelia. "At least, I lost my father and she will lose her brother. Mind her, that's not the end…I'll surely teach her a lesson that she will regret coming into this clan." She murmured, staring at the ground and drawing what she doesn't even know.Later on, the thought of the Lycan King stuck her mind causing her to release a loud hiss."That jerk! After struggling and suffering to be with you…all the times you fucked hell out of me, you had the guts to turn me down because of a wolfless werewolf.." She smiled and shook her head. "It wasn't okay t0 exile my father, I strongly believe you killed him as well. You'll lose that throne you're fighting to protect as well as your life." She remarked and stood on her feet.Took a glance around her and adjusted her gown. "I'll go see Alpha Asher, I think making him my tool will be the best." She thought and l
"Take me to see my brother's corpse if at all he's truly dead." Ophelia said to the assassin she was holding on the floor.The assassin managed to stand again, feeling ashamed of himself that a werewolf was threatening a Lycan like him."He's buried already. We had a deal with him, to save both the Lycan King and your kids including you who were in danger, in exchange for his life…" He glanced around. "There's no need to waste time again, he was killed and buried instantly.""You must be joking, then show me his grave." Ophelia suggested, but the assassin shook his head. "You're too tough to my liking." He complained, but Ophelia gave him a slash on the neck.He stared at Ophelia for a while then cleaned up the blood dripping on his cloth. "You dared used my own sword on me?""There's a saying that you should die by your own sword."Ophelia uttered to him.He walked closer to her and tried taking the sword from her, but she flew up and jumped to his back."Huh! You are a werewolf and n
In frustration, Aurora sat under the tree thinking of what her life was turning into, there was nothing interesting about her anymore."How will I get back my Child since this jerk took him to the palace? The Lycan King might not even spare my life, not when he already found out about Ophelia and the kids." She scratched her hair in confusion. Everything was upside down for her already, she thought of going to his father's house but it was something else to her."Not my child nor my mate. Even the king that I longed for all my life already abandoned me." She got to her feet and dusted her buttocks, then took the way that led to her father's exiled land. That was the only place she had to go at the moment, no one else to go to.She was weak, extremely weak that she longed to fill her belly and regain some strength…but the only one that would do that for her was no one but her father.After a long stroll to the compound, she noticed that everywhere was empty unlike the other days. He
