GwenI and aunt Maya a walked into the expansive ballroom in excitement.We had been invited to the alpha's birthday .I had never set eyes on the Lycan king , but rumors had it he was charming.I could feel all eyes resting on me as I walked in locking arms with aunt Maya. I was nervous. "Take a deep breath child. " . She walked over to the queen's table to pay her regards . I followed suit.The queen was seated in a velvet draped table. wore a bright fur cape, her hair was wrapped in a big bun. She had a stern face, squared chin, a sharp jawline, and a pointy nose. She looked hard to please. "Long time no see Maya." She said sipping wine. "My pleasure my queen.""And who do we have here? " She said scrutinizing me properly.Aunt Maya drew me forward, I had been standing behind her all this while."Her name is Gwen my queen, my pretty neice." Aunt Maya introduced me in excitement.The silence that followed her introduction was awkward. "Okay." The quee
Gwen"I love you Gwen."He said holding my hands gently."And I want you to be mine forever."I looked shocked and preplexed as I stared at him. "Look, I know it's crazy, but I find myself thinking about you everyday." "I never believed I was going to find my mate in an omega wolf, but it happened, and I accept it". He confessed. "Moreso you're a pretty one." "We're mates Gwen, don't you feel it?." We had met at the garden of the palace every night following the ball, and each encounter seemed better than the previous as the days sped by. We exchanged a lot of information about ourselves, he told me about his late father's exploits, I told him about my family too. He was fun. I couldn't accept his feelings. It didn't sit well with me.Pangs of guilt churned my insides.If I did, I would be betraying Derrick.But it was time to quit being delusional. Derrick never loved me, he never will.He had no regard formy feelings, he didn't care about me. He
"Never has it been heard that a strange wolf from another land becomes the luna of a different land.""An Omega wolf at that.""I love her mother, and nothing you ever say would change that." Simon retorted."Well I would never accept it, the earlier you snap out of what spell she placed on you, the better for us all." "I won't let you put Lycester in jeopardy because of your selfish interests." "The wise council summons me, I shall have to answer them on your behalf.""You've turned down their invitations several times." "If you make brazen decisions, you should be bold enough to face the consequences." "Stop being so cowardly about introducing your Luna to the wise council." "Get your guts together and meet them." "She's not my luna mother, she's my mate." He yelled."What difference does it make?."" If she's your mate, that makes her your luna." "An omega wolf?." "Come on Simon, I raised you better."" You have better options like Morgana don't you?."" I
There was a loud crackling of fire in the cave, casting ominous shadows on its walls. The flames flared up, crackling and spitting, sending sparks into the already dark cave. A warm light radiated from the flames, illuminating the roughewn stone walls. Huddled up by the fire, I was covered in layers of warm fur blankets. I clutched it tightly like it was about to be yanked off at any moment. My eyelids were heavy. I could see a figure sitting beside the fire covered from head to toe. The figure threw sticks into the fire occasionally. The flames would shoot up again , sending out sparks .I felt warmer now .I had struggled in the water for long , my body had almost frozen. At some point,I suddenly felt warm, I knew it was the end of me . My body was conserving all the warmth it had left, I was going to die . My skin had turned pale with cold . Just when I had given up on being rescued, I felt a huge hand wrap itself around my waist , and scoop me out of the water. That was the last t
The horses throttled slowly, making their way back to the city gates. It was a solemn procession. I held the urn that had housed father's ashes minutes back. My pack had assembled to send him off. We had no pack bond but we would always turn up for each other whenever the need arose. They had all come to mourn my father. Our kind was rare, we were really few. We had just dad's two brothers and their kids. We didn't give birth to pups in litters like the normal wolves did. Legion my dad's brother spent his whole life searching for a son, but his kids never exceeded the two girls he had. His second brother Lego had all sons. He was in hibernation at the volcano down the black creek. A dangerous place that spits fire, year in, year out. He was going to be back in a thousand years. His boys had turned out to be impressive gentlemen. They were all strong and brave men. My horse went ahead of the rest. Ivan galloped to catch up with mine. In no time, he throttled
I was sitting on my throne when Derrick strolled in majestically with his ally. He was a sworn enemy, our last encounter didn't end well.He had given me a permanent hideous scar that could neve be erased . But as always , Derrick was audacious. He feared nothing, and didn't mind showing up in an enemy's turf to get what he wanted . Part of me still feared Derrick, he was not an alpha anyone could mess with. It was far too risky . He had an alliance with the supernatural creatures in the twelve kingdoms , including the feared nine tailed foxes. His pack were Immortals , wolfsbane had nothing on them . Their howls could kill an entire pack when they're angry . Thier ancestor had destroyed the world years back, and also saved it . So technically they could be good or bad. Any side of them you wished to see . They came to where I was now. Subconsciously, I stood up in fear and surprise. Memories of what he did to me years ago at the forest flashed in my head. I stood up in fear and
GwenI had been reduced to nothing in Lycester,even the head servants could send me on errands now.I only got to see Simon in the evenings when he was less busy . I was fed up , but I had no one to cry to. I had made my decision , I had to stick to it. I was glad at least they had not taken away the one thing that kept me happy ; the library. I would go and lock myself in everyday . It had all the serenity and privacy I needed . No one clustered or perched around the library. It was a relief . Today was no different from the other days! I plyed the hallway in excitement , on my way to the library as usual. I had no company.Simon had cut me off from everyone, no one could visit, not even aunt Maya. I missed her alot. " Gwen!." The head maid called out to me. I turned around to face her . She was my worst nightmare. She was a nasty old wolf, and the queen's favorite as well. They all took me for a ride , and toyed with me as much as they wanted . They
I sat in the well-organized ginormous library. All the books I had ever craved since I was a teenager were on the shelves of this ethereal library. Their spines were enticing, the huge glossy chestnut brown shelves were lined with different books varying according to color and sizes. The new books which had been stacked in a pile a few moments ago were already organized and tucked neatly into shelves. In glee, I dropped the basket of wine on a reading table and moved from shelf to shelf. I gathered a pair of books to keep myself busy while I waited for my guest's return. I didn't worry about what may be going on back at the palace, no one was looking for me, no one cared about me except most at times, Simon. He was all I had in this lonely world. I had lost contact with my family and friends; if I had any. He had cut me off from everyone and everything I loved, including taking a stroll around the city. I was solely dependent on him now. I was clinging to a faint ray of hope. He pro
