Jackson went to find his sone and found him in his office looking at the pictures of Anita he stole when she was not looking. Jackson sighed seeing his son like that, he did not know what to do and certainly did not think that it will end up like this. He went and took a seat next to him and look at he picture in his phone. “She is beautiful.” Complimented Jackson and Nathan nodded.
“Why is Steven doing this dad?” he asked not understanding his intentions. “He thought that he was protecting the pack and Layla did not help the situation at all.” Jackson told him. “He knows better than to trust Layla, everyone knows that she has ulterior motives, but they trusted her anyway.
Another week has passed, Nathan has not been himself since Anita left that day, all he does was attend to pack business till the early hours of the morning, then sleep for a couple of hours after that wake up for training, eat then pack business all over again and he was not talking to anyone. Not his father and certainly not Divan his friend and beta. He now communicates with email and notes. They have tried everything but nothing could make him open his mouth for anything.Today was the day of the gala and Laura offered to go with him but he refused her offer by just shaking his head no. The man was a shadow of himself, Steven went to apologize to him two days after Jackson spoke to him but Nathan never uttered a word to him let alone sparing him a glance. Layla too went to ap
“Hey, hey, hey, what makes you call her a rat if you didn’t do anything or did you kill your brother alpha Larry?” the werewolf king asked looking at Larry, he realized his mistake and quickly supressed his emotions then forced a smile. “That is not the case at all, am saying she is a filthy rat because she is making up these lies, all those who know us knew how much I loved my brother and how we got along.”he paused then looked at everyone. “Anita is angry because I kicked her out of the pack after the attacked me and my gamma Tyson. The rules of the Rosewood pack clearly state that…” the king cut him short. “I get where you are going with this, Alpha Anita, what do you have to say about this?” asked the king and Anita displayed a small smile and looked at Larry before she answered
Anita raised her eyebrow looking between Nathan and alpha Bolsick. She decided to keep quiet and listened to the two men. “Who are you to tell me that? You are nothing to alpha Anita alpha Nathan, you are I are the same.” Said alpha Bolsick. “You say we are the same, how are we the same if I may ask alpha?” asked Nathan, he was in no mood to be dealing with the likes of Bolsick now.“We are both just looking for a chance to be with the beautiful alpha here.” Said Bolsick making Nathan smirk. “Are you sure about that alpha? I mean because alpha Anita here is my mate, so, how are we the same?” asked Nathan, and alpha Bolsick looked at Anita. There was no mark on her neck and nothing that indicated that she was mated. “Oh, alpha
When Divan opened his door in the the morning he saw the note his friend left for him, he sighed and took it then sent a mind link to the pack about a meeting that will be helpful in the meeting hall at ten. Then he went for training, as usual, each time he comes for training since what happened with Anita, he had been hoping that Nathan will join him.This was one of their things to do together every morning, but now it was his thing alone, his friend was angry at the world for what happened, and he understood where he was coming from but that did not mean that he did not miss his friend. He and Jackson tried everything they could think of to get him to talk about his feelings, but he just would not budge.
Nathan drove all the way to the rogue alpha’s pack lands, on the way he thought of nothing but his mate. Anita, he was tired of all the challenges they were facing and just wanted to be with her, he wanted to have her in his arms and for her to tell him that everything was going to be alright, that they were going to be alright. When he got to the pack lands he noticed that the pack lands were now claimed and had a boundary showing but there was no one guarding the borders.Just like she said, the border was there but was not guarded like a normal pack border, he smiled as he drove in, he saw that there was a driveway as well leading up to the cave or packhouse as they call it now. It was nicely done and renovated. All this made him proud of his mate. He got out of his car
The two slept until late in the afternoon after the earlier events, Nathan was the first to wake up and went to get Anita food. He bathes then went to bed and planted kisses on her face trying to wake her up. She turns her head to the other side to avoid the kisses but they just wouldn’t stop, she opened her eyes and was met by Nathan hovering over her. “You know I have not slept this much since I left Rosewood and now you are waking me up. How cruel” she teased.“Well, my darling you can sleep all you like after you have showered and had your food,” Nathan answered making her groan and turn to look the other side. Nathan stood up then went to her side and picked her up. “Nathan, put me down, am only going to sleep for five more minutes then w
The whole training grounds at Rosewood was turned into an arena, on the other side the warriors had prepared on their own, they wanted Anita dead for disrespecting their alpha like that. This man was her uncle yet she was tarnishing his name like that just because she was kicked out of the pack and that was her own fault as well. It angered them that she could be so shameless.They were up in trees on all sides of the borders just seating and waiting for the right moment to strike. Anita was not leaving Rosewood alive this time, she had actually dug her own grave this time and had the audacity to come and challenge their alpha for his position. Who the hell did she think she was? Did she really think that they would follow her blindly if she won? No! they could not let her win n
“Are you sure you want to do this rogue?” Larry asked Anita and she sneered. “Are you sure you want to do this murderer?” Anita fired back and Larry laughed throwing his head back. “And now am going to murder you.” Said Larry with an evil smirk. “I can’t wait.” Said Anita, the alpha king went to the centre to address everyone. “Morning everyone, as you all know that we are gathered here today for a challenge.” The alpha king started.“The challenge is between alpha Larry of Rosewood and alpha Anita of the Rogue pack. This challenge came about for all who were not at the gala because Alpha Anita found out the truth about her father’s deat
“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
