When we got back to the house, just the three of us. As the two males had left us and run off just the way we met them.
I ran to the room after getting Sandy to promise to be out as fast as possible so that we can head to the arena where the Bonfire would take place. I saw most of the elders leaving the house when we came in and they had greeted me and asked about my welfare. While we spoke, I didn't miss the look of despair on their faces__just like the first day.
I got to the room meaning to arrange my gown and get ready. Regardless, like magic, voom! The room door flew open and Jewel walked in.
“Good evening, Luna! You seem bubbly today. I'm glad you went out.” she looked jittery and I knew why.
“Don't worry I'm not angry with you for allowing them get me. It wasn't your fault”
She exhaled and came forward to hug me unexpectedly “I'm so happy you understand. Ms. Nora is becoming more powerful every day
I wiped off the sweat and cussed aloud as I chased after a young pup down the stair of the pew. She giggled and jumped away from my reach. Does this look like a game to her? Suddenly, I don't think I'm ready to make babies. They are so exasperating! Mischievous lot!“Come back here!” I cried and finally grabbed her. I held someone's clap and I turned. It was a woman. An unfamiliar woman.She sniggered and came closer “You are doing well, Luna. That one there is very raucous and full of disheartening antics. The last caretaker would have let her have all the fun as she liked”“Thanks, she has been very stubborn since the beginning of the occasion. I'm whipped”“It's alright. Don't overwork yourself too much. That's how she is even at home”Wait. She knows the kid?“Yea, the pup is my grandchild. She wreaks havoc at home which was why I came to check how the caretaker is coping before I met
Kimberly POvMy eyes followed his movement as he came in, his dominant vibes encumbering the entire space. Suddenly my heart was hammering against my chest long after he surfaced in front of me. There was this new aura around him like I was just meeting him for the first time and encountering it.“Hey, Kittie” he cooed at me.I slowly raised my eyes to meet his. I've missed him. Missed that voice and missed his closeness. I didn't know what possessed me but in the next second, my arms were wrapped around him and my head on his neck, my body flattened against him.I closed my eyes and inhaled that intoxicating fragrance that undulates my insides. “I'm sorry about everything. Please, don't ever hide away from me ever again!” I mumbled. The feeling of his hand wrapped around mine was all I needed to melt more into him.“It's okay, I'm sorry too. Just that, pack activities have been overwhelming. I'm sorry I neglected your
Kimberly POVThe woman's eyes suddenly snapped up from her bent position and landed on me. My back strengthened and I tucked in air shrinking into myself. Did she hear my question?I looked at the woman close to me, she wasn't moving. It was as though she has been sucked into the woman's gaze and wasn't able to move again or do anything.“What is going on?” I asked her in a hushed time. She didn't say anything. I took my first step away from her back to Sandy. I reached there in wobble legs to discover she had laid down and was deep in sleep. Could this night grow any worse?I tried as much as possible not to look in the woman's direction. My heart was blasting with fear. If Leo could read my mind can he feel how scared I am right now?I sat down in the little space Sandy could afford me and looked down only feet. God, please don't let her do anything.Goosebumps shot through my flesh connoting ah was either coming or she was sti
Kimberly POVWe were there for a long time talking about everything mostly about Nora’s powers. She didn't want to tell us a lot of things that we understood where because she wouldn't want to incur the wrath of her brother. I have seen it firsthand how he punished her so I didn't want to prob.When we all got apps and needed our recourse, she had pointed us to different bedrooms to retire for the night and told us she was going to go back and make sure that everything is settled before she joins us. She was very responsive to the pack. It excites me making me want to be bold and be a part of something just like her.I couldn't sleep. I lay in bed thinking of my revelation. About the lady, I was speaking to when the kids cried, about the strange priest, and mostly about the ritual. What could it mean and why would they want to take my life? Is that a direct trance or was it a message to be passed somehow?Mum used to tell me, sometimes, the way we d
Have I screamed like that before? No. That was the answer to the heart-wrenching shriek that resonated in the building as I heard the voice.“Rosaline!”I jerked up and whipped my eyes about the room and just like in the arena, tough beads of sweat trickled down my skin in waves.I felt a hand at me and jumped away with a yelp.I met the worried eyes of Leo and jumped back into his arms, burying my face in his chest “Tell me I'm not going crazy” I cried.“You are not my love”“This is too much. I don't think I can do this. I can't. I keep seeing things and now I'm dreaming stuff”“It’s alright my dear. I promise you would be fine” he whispered and stroked my back.I sniffled “This one was more hideous. I was lonely and so afraid. I called out to you but you weren't there. Then__”“Shush. Don't worry to tell me if it would make you think a
Kimberly POVAfter Adrian gave me the bad eye and took away Sandy, I had sat there for some time in thought while taking a drink I got from the lounge bar before I made my way upstairs to meet Leonard. He had his head buried in the laptop but had stood to help me wear my nightie which I found very adorable and caring of him.I lay in bed wishing for sleep to come forth when his voice penetrated my thought "Tomorrow evening we would be going to the woods. Just you and I"That got my attention."You want us to go to the woods together?""Yea, you don't want that?""Of course I do!" If he wanted us to go to the woods it meant only one thing. He wanted to shift for me to see him!"Why is it important to you?" he asked coming close to hold me around the waist."It is very important. Nora told me mates see each other shift. Since I can't, at least I should see you do. I've only seen Nora shift and Sandy had seen Adrian"
Kimberly POVGetting to the house, the sight that met me wasn't what I was expecting. It was already evening and the atmosphere looked warm and settled. Dense air hovered over us as the birds flew back to their settlements.Walking into the house with Nora, sitting on one of the couches was someone that looked vaguely familiar to me, and yet I couldn't place my mind where I'd met her before."That's the priest" Nora mumbled, my eyes widened. The woman that made me go into a trance.I shifted back consciously in fear.Nora left me after acknowledging the woman and ran upstairs.I heard she is a very powerful witch and a healer. She has lived for many years as the sire of the clan and their healer. Even with ordothox medicine on trend, she had refused to adjust to modernity but rather improved on her abilities.Leonard came to me and led me forward. "Relax she is a very nice person. She is just like us. I don't know what you have going throug
He slowly raised up his head to look at me, driving shots of adrenaline rocking through my pores. He is magnificent!Is he going to attack me?I unconsciously staggered back at his intent scrutiny, my chest heaving rapidly. His huge paws made the first leap forward. I stiffened and balled my fist, goosebumps ripping through my body.I closed my eyes not wanting to watch him rip me apart. I wasn't strong enough, was the only thing that reigned through my mind. Cold sweat was trickling down my body as I envision how I'm going to die in a bush with no one to save me.I paused. Why is he not yet tearing me apart? I waited my eyes still strung close. Suddenly I felt the furry touch close to my dress and slowly willed my eyes open. He was looking up at me and if I didn't know better, I would think the wolf was smiling.Instinctively I reached out and ran my hand through the slinky furs. It whimpered and tilted its head upwards closing its eyes. I finally let mysel
Epilogue The party was suave. And so was the initiation. After the full moon, all the wolves had transformed and then I watched in amazement as Leonard went to the little dune if send in front of his house and transformed after that, he howled into the moon followed by the other wolves who began to howl with him. After all, that, came my initiation. It was the terrific moment I have waited for all this while. The priestess had performed it after everyone had left and then I had been made to say dome oat with a book that looked like the Bible. After that, she called Leonard who came and she used a knife to cut his hand and told him to pour the blood on me. It was gross, but I had to endure it. He said some things that had to do with accepting me to be his Luna and to rule alongside with him until death do us apart. I did the same thing and then he had covered me with a robe, because I was naked, and carried me into the house straight to the room.
I woke up forcefully and looked about me. We were home. I knew it cuz I could feel it. I looked out and then in a flash, I heard them shout“Surprise!”I flinched away in fear and abruptly sat up to look at everyone in the room. There were so many people. Mom, Dad, my brother, Leonard, Sandy everyone. Even Adrian. I was losing my mind as I wondered what was happening.How is it possible that my enemy is among those shouting surprise and to worsen the matter, I saw a man that was an older version of Leonard standing at the far end with a smile on his face. Is that his father? How?I smiled on at them and looked about the room happy that I'm back. Why are they happy like that? Am I missing something?Leo came forth and took my hand. “ thank the goddess you are back. You have been sleeping for long that we feared that you are going to take longer”“Where is your Mom?” I looked in the crowd for her
The house has been cold everything seems to be happening so fast. I'm was exhausted. I have the training to go for today and I have to rest for a while before leaving for it especially since I would be seeing the relentless, Mark. He doesn't stop disturbing my life every time he sees me making me lose focus on the real reason for our meeting in the first place.Oftentimes, I wished I will stay away and do this training myself but I decide to go just to meet with the others and improve in my defense which I have been dawdling these days and it's because of him!.I rolled my eyes as my phone chimed signaling an incoming message from him saying how much he missed me. Side, we saw yesterday! why is he so pesky?!“Because he is our mate! I like him” My Wolf said garnering her a glare from me.“Don't deceive yourself or grow attached. There is no way I'm letting him come close to me after what he said” I said and replied to him to pi
The Enemy Kingdom, (Third person pov)They are yet to hear from the vampire to know how far the plan had come. It was beginning to dawn on to the Diamond pack Alpha who hasn't slept a wink since he hasn't gotten any information from Draco concerning the plan if it was successful or not.He paces from one end of his study, to the next with a glass of a brown substance, which he swirled about mindlessly praying to his goddess that the plan pulls through.In his mind, he knows things would go awry for him if eventually, things don't work out for him. The Alpha king would have him stripped of all his powers and he would go from an Alpha to the worst kind lower than even the omega___Groveler.This we're the group of wolves that lost their ranks due to one form of my behavior or the other and he wasn't ready to allow anyone to reduce him to that level. Not yet not ever...He hasn't been able to look his wife in the eye since the anticipation starte
Kimberly POVI opened my eyes slowly trying to adjust to the light and the voice I'm hearing beckoning to me. I know that voice. It soumded very familiar. Does that men I'm back home? I strained my ear still laying on the be and closing my eyes. I didn't want to open it so as not to see that monster. He had tried to force himself on me yesterday and but I didn't let him.“Hey, Kim” I heard that this time very close. I snapped my eyes open and looked around. I was still in the same place. How then?I sat up from the bed and tried to clear my thought “Nora?” I said feebly not trying to get my house up.“Kim!” she said louder than time. I slid off the bee to on the bed lamp hoping to see her in the darkness but nothing was there but me and the empty room .“Where are you Nora? I can't see you” I said in disappointment. I must be going mad.“I'm here in your head. I've been trying to get you
“You have to calm down Alpha. We will do everything to capture whoever is behind this” Adrian said to me but I was fast losing myself. I couldn't help myself. I felt kike I was going to die.I paced and took all the brown switches I could lay my hand on but none was helping to take my will. He was furious that I had let us down by allowing that monster to take away the only thing that kept me alive all these years. My mate.It has been one week now since she went missing and to date, no one could say exactly what happened. That sneaky bastard Draco had done his deeds very calmly that no one saw him do it. I had always handled the guards staying at the door that very day thrown into the dungeon fit letting her by pass them without stopping her or at last going after her.That was the best I could do because all I wanted to go when they told me they saw her going to the back of the house
KIMBERLY“You see was that not easy?” I asked him when we got of seeing his mother. He looked somewhat released now unlike when we had gone in to see her.I wonder why he thought it's hard to going to be hard to get across to her by the way.He draws me closer “I did that because of you. Now let's watch what she has planned out since she won't share.”“Yea, she seems to like to run her shit herself. Or she's trying to protect you. She is very nice” I moon as we walked to the stairs.“I will have to leave you to go for my meeting. I was supposed to go for it before you came forth, Adrian is handling it but I have to meet up and tell them we have a plan. I just hope she doesn't fail whatever she thinks she's up. I have to also have a backup plan in case it fail”He kissed me and entered through another dark hall leaving me all by myself. I stood in the hall reminiscing over what happened in the r
“Why did you just say?” I asked encroaching on her.She backed away as if growing cares for me. “You heard might. If you don't do what is right, Lei. I will leave with my Mom back to Chicago” she said the words sending my head on a roller spin.I growled and ball fist but I don't want to scare her so I controlled my self and tried to look calm for her “Baby, you can't say that”She raised her chin in a defense manner to look at “Why not? Why do you think I will not say?” she reiterated.I pinned my eyes to her brown ones intently trying to discern her but she looked like she was blocking away my mind from reading hers. I huffed in anger and again tried to control myself “ Babe, I'm working things out. I promise I will sort all this out in due time”She looked bout us noticing her Mom and others were strong at us, she picked up my hand and walked towards the stairs and I followed without an
Leonard POVThings are going out of hand more than I had anticipated. I paced in my study my mind going through all I've been through in the last few weeks.I can't lose Rosa. Nothing fears more than the thought of it. Last night I was very furious when her mother had made that suggestion about her wanting to take to Chicago. It unbuttoned a string inside me making me want nothing but to possess my wife from anyone taking her from me. Why did he choose now of all the times to surface? I fell so enraged with everything that wasn't working out and more enraged with the fact that solutions are looking far from my reach. I can't let what happened the first time to happen again.“You caused this. If you had mated with her a long time ago all this won't be happening I'm now.” Cupid who was also restless snarled at me.“How is it fault. How do you expect me to make with her in this turbulent time especially with a wild wolf like you”
