Kimberly POV
After 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
"What have you done? You have no right to interfere in my love life!" Nora yelled. I was almost at the door but I could hear even from the stair.I hope they don't perceive my scent."Nora, he is not good for you. He had vile plans, I told you" Leo seemed calm. That's good."If there was anyone supposed to act on that it should be me! You have your mate why won't you mind your business?! You are my brother, not my fucken father!" he doesn't say anything."I want to go back to school...I can't bear you right now. You always think about yourself. What about me and how I feel?!" she was crying that I know for sure. I felt very bad and wish I could reach out to her."Nora, I'm your brother and the only father you know and may forever know. I have to protect you even if it sometimes has to go against your wants. You know__"" Don't say that! You pretend not to be like them. You promised Leo! But you act like them in every way. You are becoming tyrannical and
Kimberly POVI 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 p
The 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
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”
