Kimberly POV
I waited till Adrina left the room before I went to meet Leo."Babe, is everything alright?" he asked, in concern.I nodded and went to sit in front of him."I'm fine. I just wanted to speak to you about your sister""It's already late babe. And besides what is wrong with her is she okay?""Yes, you know what I'm talking about"He shrugged and stood, picking up the bottle of a brown drunk which he went to replace in the bar with the glass.He came back and took my hand "Let's retire for the night"I didn't say anything but followed him. When we were in our bedroom, I stood my ground in front of him. " If you love someone and you feel you want to care for them, you don't make decisions for them especially matters that concerns the heart. That was very unkind of you"He pinched his nose and raked his hand through his hair "Kittie, can we not do this tonight? Please" I waited "You just bumped into me trying to pThe training wasn't what I expected one bit. There were a lot of punches and kicks that I plead surrender a lot of times. Not good for a Luna right? But yeah, I wasn't planning to allow myself to be killed by this group of people called Wolves.One time, the man that I met that happens to be the gamma, Rufus, has forgotten I'm not a wolf like him and had applied speed. Thanks to Nora who save me from him, by now I would have been in coma. He looked shocked and since then, he has been very mild with me."Be bold. Don't show the enemy that you are frightened. This way. Good" he pushed my back in and straightened my posture "Your back should be straight when fighting. Your reflexes very fast"He was very patient man and from the way he has been instructing me, I could tell he was a strong Wolf."Now attack the puppet" He pointed to the dummy puppet in front of him for training. He had told me it was for new pups in the packs. He used it to start off their training w
Kimberly POVWho is this woman? and why is she talking to Leo like that?These were the only things going through my mind as the lady inched close to us.I looked up at Leo, he had gone still, and wasn't looking pleased in the least."If you had to reject me, at least you should have been respectful enough to bring someone more..." she scrutinized me maliciously before adding "elegant" she spat the words in derision.I cringed within at her impertinence, my mind still striving to unravel if I had met the woman before. But, every attempt proved abortive. Why in God's name is Leonard not saying anything?.She comes closer and made to touch him, but, he flinched away from her clamps "Don't you dare touch me, Belinda. And you would do well to know your place! This is my Luna and you would respect her!" he barked at her.Belinda? Who the heck is this lady and why does she seem so angry at seeing us together?She chuckled devilis
I felt my heart break anew. I didn't show it. I bit down on my cheek to prevent myself from crying out. Chosen mate? What does that even mean? What am I, if she is his chosen mate?I looked at her again "If she is the chosen mate to the Alpha then what am I to him?"Her creased face gazed up at me "You are his true mate. Our Luna."I don't understand. Are the two supposed to be different?Seeing the unsettled look on my face she sets to explain "Normally a chosen mate is a mate that is provided by the council of the elders, parents, or close partners of the Apha when he doesn't find his mate and most often he chooses this mate himself. But it only happens when the Alpha stays a long time without finding his true mate and that was the case with our present Alpha" she looked down her laps making me notice she was still on the ground."Stand up, Jewel you are not a slave," I said despairingly, beginning to understand everything she was saying.That means h
After the unfortunate event at breakfast, everyone dispersed to their various activities with dense air hovering over us. I didn't know what to do, so I had to take a tour by myself to the woods. I needed to clear my head from all the fizzing noises.First of all, I couldn't go on a tour with Leo anymore coz he had implored me after everyone left, to grant him leave to tour the girl whom he later explained to be a paramount asset the the peace of our pack. It took me quite some minutes to process how that was possible, until he told me everything.He said the girl's father was one of his allies and a lower pack to his. However their pack has strong military strength which was why he conquered them to be under his authority. And evidently, now is not the right time to go into war with any pack because he was in the center of an attack with other powers trying to take over his leadership which means he would have to satisfy the girls quest for the time being until he h
Long after we returned to the pack, I was still in shock at what Garret said to me about the picture hanging on her wall. Her sister's twin sister? I am more than curious and want to meet with the said twin sister. I made up my mind to visit Garret in private.Nora was shocked too and told me she has never seen that picture since she started going to visit Garret, which the lady confirmed she had just brought out as they did, whenever the full moon was approaching. According to her, that was when she was casted out.How? Is that even possible? Is it my Mom we are talking about or maybe someone that she happens to insanely look like?I knew my Mom and I knew everything about my parents. There is no way they wouldn't tell me if there was something they were hiding.MOM.I wanted to call her but decided against it. This is insane. It has to be someone that looks like her. It has to be. My mom cannot come from the linage of werewolves. It's not possible an
A shrilling pitch was what woke me the next time. I cursed at the sound, thinking it was the blasted alarm I just got in my room. I reached out the way I do, to slam the cursed thing shut, but to my dismay, I couldn't touch anything."Kittie?"I know that voice. Was it in my head?I snapped my eyes open to see Leonard hovering over me, his sunkissed hair falling over his face and his blue orbs glimmering in the bright light of the infirmary room.I opened my mouth to test if I could speak "Hey" wow! It was real.He reached out and removed something from my face which I assume to be my stray hair. "How are you? I was so worried. I was ecstatic when Donald told me you woke up when I left"Oh, so the hoodie was Donald?He rolled his eyes "You are thinking about another man in front of your husband" his voice hinted at humor.I smiled "He was the first face I saw when I woke up" I mumbled.His face creased "That dratted fool
"Rosa!""Kimberly""Kimberly""Luna"So many noises all at once were what I kept hearing and they all seem frantic. I was floating. I couldn't pinpoint a particular noise. Where the hell am I? Where are the noises coming from?!I felt a hand on me. It was on my shoulder, on my arms, on my forehead, everywhere at once. I'm trying to concentrate on a sound from the numerous sounds."Rosa, please come back to me. It's going to be alright."I finally was able to focus on one. I knew that voice. Only one person called me Rosa.Leonard!My eyes started quivering seeking for light in the tomb of untold darkness.I opened my mouth to say something but it all came out as a blur."Rosa, open your eyes""I think she is recovering. The essence conflicted with her powers." I think that voice is familiar. Where did I hear it from?"Powers?" I heard Loe's voice again."Yes. Her powers are very potent and has been dormant which was w
"What happened I have been trying to mind link you for ages" Adrain bumped, when he came in.Leo faced him, his eyes looking very dull. He must be very tired "I'm sorry. I had been off for some time. I haven't been myself since my mate got here""I'm sorry about that" Adrian mouthed giving me a one-off which to me looked malicious. I ignore him."There was another attack at the border ten minutes ago. This time we captured one of them. Something unbelievable happened."By now my attention was enraptured. Who are these people attacking? and how are they breaking through the barriers? I recall Leonard telling me they had a strong barrier around the pack, which doesn't allow outsiders in unless a member of the pack wanted to go out. And even at that, the barrier can only be opened by one of the guardians or a member of the Alpha's family. So how?"What happened?" Leonard asked drily."He died. That is not the fascinating part. We didn't know what he was. W
