I was raging with anger. I couldn't contain myself from feeling betrayed by my elders! My people. I only left for a few days and they already promised someone marriage without my permission.
Yesterday after I came back and Norris the eldest of my elders had behaved in a very funny manner, I had been unsettled and wanted to get to the root of why he was very edgy when he was welcoming me and my Luna. So I had cornered Adrian after making sure my wife was saved from the claws of her two friends.
What I had discovered was shocking. I refused to believe what I heard and had to run outside only to meet to my disappointment that they've all disappeared. I summoned all of them to the packhouse the next morning through the pack link and I made it clear that none should be missing. Not even those at the temples.
This morning when I had come down to meet them at the conference room, I had felt the tense air. They were all fretting because they kne
Kimberly POVAfter Leonard left my room I ran out of the room to look for my friends. Fortunately, they were back and were in the sitting room gisting when they spied me. They squealed and waved me forward to sit with them.“How was the wood ?” I asked in enthusiasm. I should have just gone with them but meant I would have missed talking to my parents.“We didn't go again,” Nora said “We decided to wait till you are up and good and then we would go together. We couldn't go without you. Say we are cool friends right?”“Yea..” that was so kind of them. “So why don't we go now? I just spoke with Leo and it seems he has gone back to the meeting let's go, please. I'm kinda very bored”They exchanged looks and turned to face me “we can't go today because the weather is very bad. It looks like it wants to rain. I wouldn't want the rain to touch my fancy hair” Sandy provided her hand car
Kimberly 5What are these doing here and why would he still have them?There were trinkets of different kinds with beautiful assortments of earrings. I sat on the floor bringing them all out noticing a glittering emerald ring. I took it and checked it out. It was very beautiful!I instinctively wore it and raised my hand to admire the most elegant piece of jewelry on my finger. It fits perfectly. I skimmed through other stuff including the necklaces but none held my attention enough so I kept them back.I dug deeper into the drawer and my hand came out with a thick-covered diary. I'm not supposed to read a dead person's diary but what would it hurt?. If I'm her, I need to know my last thoughts.I flipped through the first page and began reading. They were blurred and almost fading but I managed to see the words.I met him. He was just as I had wished. Tall, handsome. Dark and lovely. I've never seen any man as beautiful as he is. The first d
“It's a boy!” Nora exclaimed and looked up her face masked in pure joy.“A boy?!” Sandy asked having mixed feelings.“Yes! I'm going to be an aunt!” I squealed out in excitement. This is super exciting. “This is good news.”“It's not Kim! I'm...I'm not even ready to be a mother! I'm so afraid” she tensed up, her hand intertwining together before they impulsively went to her stomach. I've never been pregnant but I could tell, no matter how she deluded herself, deep within there was this motherly instinct kicking in.“We can do this” I picked her hands and looked her in the eyes. “You love Adrian, right?... I may not like him, but he's enough for you and this baby would be the symbol of your love__Your bond. Be happy about it”“I know, I should! But what if he doesn't want it? What if he doesn't marry me? I can't take a baby back home to my parents...Oh, Kim, No
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
