When the other rogue woke up, his friend filled him in on what happened and he did not hesitate following suit, submitting to Anita as his alpha. Nathan was proud of her but she had another plan in mind and that is to expose her uncle then avenge her father. That man was going to pay for what he did to her father, her mother is like this because of him and she was living like a savage because of him. He had to pay.
“You know, instead of killing these rogues you can recruit them.” He told her but she frowned. “Listen to me first before you shoot the idea down, since you don’t want to come with me, then why don’t you recruit these rogues and train them. You a pretty good fighter and if you train them you can use them when you go back to your pack.&rd
Her reasons, he wanted her reasons for not wanting to go with him to his pack and she did not know what to tell him. Will he look at her differently if she were to tell him that she does not believe in mates anymore, that she fears ending up like her mother, that she could not trust him because she had been betrayed more times than she can remember the people she loved. That she was simply messed up and could not afford to let anyone else in.She was banished from the only home she ever knew, the people she grew up calling her family turned their backs on her and her uncle put the final nail on her coffin. How can she love now again, how can she trust someone again? She simply could not! Nathan might be her mate,
Anita took a walk with Nathan, he wanted to know her reasons for not wanting to go with him to his pack or trust him and she was going to tell him hoping that he will not pester her after. They found a quiet place and sat down. Nathan did not say anything waiting for her to say something. “I wasn’t always like this you know; I was like every she-wolf out there, I could not wait for my eighteen birthday so that I can find my mate.” She started.“I was planning to move away for collage and hoping that if I don’t find my mate in my pack, then I will find him where I was going.” She sighed. “But things changed, as you heard, my father was killed, and my mother became…wh
Two weeks have passed, and Anita still would not go back with Nathan. She got three more rogues over the weeks that were more than happy to join her, the guy Marco, and his sister Jenna. They became rogues after they turned eighteen, they pack apparently did not have space for them anymore and it did not help that they were orphans and has no one to fight for them to stay when they were kicked out.Space was not the reason though but the alpha’s son who hated Marco for reasons only known to him convinced his father that they were not good for the pack and after giving his father reasons as to why he agreed, of course, those reasons were unfounded but who will listen to an orphan instead of the future a
Anita stood there looking lost, she could not believe what she just heard, how can her mother have another mate? Yes, she knew that people do get second chance mates but Divan was young. He looked almost the same age as Nathan! No, there must be a mistake. “How old is your beta?” Anita finally found her voice and asked. “He is the same age as me, twenty-five.” Answered Nathan and Anita shook her head.It was impossible no matter how she looked at it, Divan was younger than her mother and she refused to believe that he could be her second chance mate. “Take me to them before that confused beta of yours does something stupid.” Nathan looked at her then led the way to the pack hospital. Pack members have already gathered around with their canines
The alpha stood at the door taking deep breaths to calm himself down while looking at Laura on the bed. ‘She is our second chance mate; the Moon Goddess has remembered us once again.’ Said his wolf excited. ‘She is Divan’s mate.’ He stated the truth that they both knew. ‘She is ours too.’ His wolf argued, he did not want to miss this chance of having a mate again.‘Calm yourself Seun.’ The alpha said then cut the link with his wolf, with one last glance at Laura, he turned his attention to Anita who was already looking at him. “Greetings young lady how are you?” the alpha, maintained the elderly behavior, he was Anita’s elder anyway. “Gr
Divan went and spend the night by Laura’s side. He was talking to her about the plans he had for both when she woke up, he had waited so long to find his mate and now that she was there. He wanted to treat her well and give her all the love that she deserved. In the morning he asked the doctor’s assistant to keep an eye on her while he goes and showers. He was going to tell alpha Jackson to come down and be with her as per agreement.Ten minutes after Divan left, Laura woke up, she looked much better than she did when she fell sick, her eyes were bright and full of life. She scanned her surroundings and figured that she was in a pack hospital judging by the scent of werewolves all around. But what she
Anita saw the look on her mother and knew what she was thinking. Laura looked at her with pleading eyes and shaking her head. “No! mom no! you can’t do that, I will not allow it, it’s not right and I repeat you have to reject one of them,” Anita told her, but her mother only gave her a small smile. “Who am I to reject blessings from the Moon Goddess?” she asked her daughter.Anita looked at this woman as if she was not the mother she knew, indeed, she wasn’t, Xavier’s death changed Laura, she had lost all hope of living and being happy again. She wanted to die, but the Moon Goddess thought otherwise and she had other plans for her. “Mother, those two are like father and son. You have not seen how alpha Jackson was begging me
Anita saw that her mother’s complexion was now pale, she did not know what she was thinking at that moment, she looked at Divan then back at her mother but none of them spared her a glance. Their eyes were glued on each other, Anita shook her head helplessly then stood up from where she was seating. “I will give you two some space.” She told her mother but Laura only nodded.She did not move or turn to look at her. ‘if the mate bond makes people so stupid then am good without it.’ Anita thought, she stood there for a few seconds hoping that her mother would at least look at her but she did not. Her eyes were glued on Divan and so was his. “Okay, am leaving now.” She said walking to the door but Laura just nodded her head.
“Luka, stop playing with sand, you know mama wont like it when you get into the house full of sand.” Nova said to her brother, but Luka stood up and continued to throw sand around giggling. “Luka no!” Nova stood up attempting to stop him, but Luka ran to the packhouse with Nova right behind him. He was giggling as he ran and almost falling.He got in and ran to the kitchen where their mother was. “No running!” Anita reprimanded and Luka stopped then turned to look at his sister. “Mama!” called Nova coming into the kitchen. “Yes, princess?” answered Anita busy making cookie dough. “Look at your son, he was at it again just now.” Anita stiffened her laugh then looked at Luka, little Luka had sand all over his face and even on his hair.“You were playing with sand again Luka.” Said Anita looking at him.“No” said Luka shaking his head. “He was mama, look at him.&rd
As the pain tore through him Nico clutched at his chest feeling like his heart was being ripped out of his chest. The pain was unbearable and excruciating. He felt like he was going to die right there and then. “Aaaaah!!” he cried out painfully clutching his chest. As the pain intensified, he shifted into his wolf form then he looked up in the sky and howled, other werewolves close by heard the painful howl and joined in.He was close to the border of Rosewood when this happened and the werewolves that heard him were the warriors on patrol. After the howl, they went looking for him and found him in his wolf form curled up on the ground looking helpless. They surrounded him as the other warrior mind linked Marco to come quickly. As the other beta, Marco could sense the urgency in the warrior’s voice and came running to see what was happening.When he got there, he saw Nico curled up on the ground looking like an injured dog. ‘What happened,
Nathan’s heart ached seeing his mate like that, he closed his eyes to fight the tears from falling. ‘Goddess, did you bring my mate to me only for me to keep hurting her like this? Did you not maybe make a mistake giving her to me? I am not good enough for this angel, she is pure and had a heart of gold.’ Nathan said a silent prayer before taking slow steps towards his mate. His feel felt heavy to lift and his heart hurt painfully in his chest.They say that the hardest wounds to heal are those on the inside for they do not get air to heal naturally. Nathan feared what the pain he has been causing his mate must be doing to her inside, she might forgive him and take him back. But does that mean the wounds have healed? He feared not. He stopped close to her and extended his hand then gently.“My love, please say something, whatever you are feeling right now please don’t keep it in, tell me, doesn’t matter how hurtful it m
Months passed and still no sign of Layla. Nico looked like a walking zombie, he missed his mate so much and longed to be with her but he could not find her. He looked everywhere he thought she might be but she was not there, he never found her. he spent these months searching for her with no luck. Nathan as well has been looking for her but with no luck, not even a clue of where she could be, it's like she vanished. Which made him more paranoid thinking that she was planning something again.The good news is that he found Steven and brought him back to the pack. He came back a changed man, stricter than he was and more focused. Nathan liked the new version of him and so did Divan. The three of them have been helping each other in the search for Layla, they had teams made up of members from the rogue pack, rosewood and silver sands. So far, none of them had luck in finding Layla.Nathan and Anita have been working on their relationship. It was not hard doing so as the m
Nathan wakes up inhaling a deep breath like he has been drowning, this startled Laura as she was not expecting it, her hand was on her chest with her eyes popped looking at him. Nathan finally noticed her and he gave her a small smile. “Am sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you.” He apologized to her and Laura calmed down a bit. “Am glad to see you back and your father will be happy too,” Laura told him getting up from where she was seating.Nathan wanted to ask about Anita but was afraid of the answer he was going to get from Laura. “I have mind-linked your father and told him that you are awake. Anita is okay.” She told him without looking at him and left. Nathan sighed feeling defeated and wondering what it will take for him to fix things with everyone. ‘Why is she angry with you?’ asked Brice making Nathan sigh once again.‘She is angry because of what I did to our mate, she is her daughter remember?’ B
Three days have passed, and Nathan has not woken up. Jackson has been with him all this time, he got a tent and sleeping bags for the both and stayed there with him. Divan and Laura have been running the pack together while Jackson and Nathan are not available. Jackson was worried about his son, not only that but the way he had been acting towards him.He has made mistakes that he admits but he too did not make life easy for him after everything that has happened. He was angry but now he regrets not giving his son a chance. Laura comes to him as he was sitting outside the tent watching the pack member’s train. “My love, please go and show then have something to eat.” She has been coming to bring him food every day because he refused to leave Nathan alone.But he has not been showering. “I can’t leave him alone, just bring me something to eat like you have been doing.” He told him, he looked like he aged a few years due to the level o
Nathan walked to the training grounds, upon arrival he looked around, there were a few warriors training there, but his mind was not there at all or on them, while he was standing there, he thought of the day he first shifted years ago. There were a lot of them that shifted that day, Divan was there as well as Steven. They were standing next to the big tree that is close to the training grounds.He remembered the three of them discussing about how they wished their wolves to look like, each one saying how awesome their wolf would be compared to the other. He remembered saying. ‘my wolf will be there best out of yours and you know why?’ he had asked his friends that day and Divan was the one who asked. ‘Why?’ Divan had asked. ‘Because I am the future alpha, so my wolf is going to be the best!’ he had bragged to them.‘But mine will be the best than yours Steven because I am a beta’s son, I have beta blood running through m
Nathan spent the whole week training hard hoping that Brice will come back but there was no sign of his wolf, now he was frustrated by this and the fact that he's been avoiding his father because he did not know what he will say to him when he sees him. He was disappointed in himself for being weak and letting Layla manipulate him like that. Speaking of Layla, when they got back from the rogue pack with Divan Layla was nowhere to be seen.They thought that she was going to come back the following day but she has not, they went to Rosewood on the third day of her not coming back but did not find her, they threatened Nico and told him that he was going to die in her place if he did not present her in the next week. Nico, unfortunately, did not know where his mate was, when Layla left the pack she did not go to her mate. She was worried about what he was going to say when she tells him that she broke the spell by sleeping with Nathan.The only thing Nico ever asked of her
When Nathan was done showering, he got dressed then looked around his room, he found a lot of things that did not belong to him or Anita. He figured that they belong to Layla, rage rose from the pit of his stomach, he tried mind linking an omega to come and clear them up but then when there was no response of any sign of a connection, he remembered that Brice was not with him. He sighed ‘Brice, please come back to me, I am incomplete without you.’ He said then left the room.He went to the kitchen and found an omega. He told her to remove everything that belongs to Layla in his room and do spring cleaning on it. The omega had questions but would not dare ask them, their alpha had changed, from killing those warriors to rejecting his true mate and taking Layla as his chosen one. He was not the alpha they once knew, he was different and she was not about to put herself in the firing line just to know the reason behind his actions.Nathan went out and found Di
