It had only been a few hours since I left the house, but once we came back I felt the relief wash over me at seeing the structure. The driver pulled over and Leonard came out to assist me out of the car.
Sandy was standing with my aunt who I was surprised to see standing with her by that time of the day with her son standing by her side.They came forward to greet us her son rushing into Nora's arm in total glee.“Garret is nice seeing you,” I said and hugged her “You should have called me to tell me you were around”She doesn't look good. I excused myself from the rest and took her hand to walk off to the house “What is the problem? Did anything happen?”“No, I just came to check on you to make sure you were alright” I wanted to believe what she said but something still gnawed at me that she wasn't saying the truth.“Garet imagine as you can see so spill it what is it? I can't help but feel that somWhen night finally came, I rushed up from sitting in the living room listening to my friends talk without paying any attention. I was rummaging through my undies bag, to check for something very attractive I would wear that night to wait for Leonard, that I didn't know where he is at the moment.I had almost trashed three clothes as unfit when someone knocked on the door. My heartbeat plummted thinking it was Leonard who was at the door. I paused in what I was doing at second thought. He never knocked when he wants to come in so it couldn't possibly be him. “The door is open” I blurted and waited to know who it was.The door opened and Jewel came in. I pinched my eyes closed in trepidation. “Why did you take so much time at the door? I was thinking it's someone unfamiliar” I careened and turned back to continue my search. “Luna, I have something for you” she stuttered on feet at the door.I observed her disposition. “What is t
The next morning after I had tossed and turned on the bed waiting hopelessly for the bright light to peek through the clouds. I finally for once since I bought the alarm, appreciated its worth.After taking an express bath, I rushed out of the room down hoping they were back but no they weren't. I was disappointed. I sat through the breakfast listening to Sandy bicker my ears to death without the slightest interest in what she was saying.I knew she missed them too but as usual, as she does, was trying to make herself happy in order not to think about their absence.“ I'm going back to school after the baby. I already told Adrian and made him understand there is nothing he could do about it. I intend to get my master at 25” she quipped tossing an oyster in her mouth.I chewed lazily into the caesar said I have been sluggishly chugging down since god knows when.“Mmmm” I hummed and continued looking at her so it won't be as though I wa
When we got to the living room, we almost collided with Leonards Mom who was coming down form the stairs. She stopped when she saw me with her face morphing into a smile “How are you, Luna?” she questioned.I nodded and shifted on my feet feeling guilty at not going to see her since the last time.“I'm fine thank you” I mewled.“It's not your fault that you haven't chuckled on me. I know what happened. The pack is in disarray with the attacks going on..But don't worry, everything would be alright” she came down the last step and patted me “Who is his beautiful lady?” she asked and walked past us.I noticed Sandy didn't say anything to her so I nudged her. “Uhm...she is my friend”“Her best friend” Sandy chipped in making me roll my eyes.The lady rumbled with laughter. I liked the sound of her voice. Reminded me of the early morning summer news. Very melodious.“I like th
When I reached the living room at the speed of light, I was surprised to see only Nora who was about to climb the stairs before she saw me.“Hey” she grinned which I could dissect to be a mask.“How could you have left like that? You should have at least told me something. Where is Leo? I'm very angry with him. If he would often leave me like this___”“Calm down. Everything had happened very unexpectedly. I can't tell how it happened myself.” she told me coming down to meet me. I could tell she was tired from the worry lines on her face. A huge black bag hung under her eyes.I righted myself “How are you?” I cradled her face “You look like death itself. Come here you need food and then you will rest” I dragged her to the dining.“Is that punky pup?” I heard Sandy ask, trying to meet with us.Nora came to stop and face her with a threatening glare “I've told you don't call me t
“Runaway? Did you just say run away? Your husband banished me away without thinking about my life and his I will survive out there without my family and you say run away?”“I'm sorry about that and I really, really must tell you how bad I felt about that happening to you. No one deserved that” Cordelia said.My hand was til on Mom's trying to quell her temper. She shook her head and looked at me “Baby why didn't you tell me? We are leaving tomorrow. I can't stay here these people are not like us” she pointed at the both of us, tears beginning to fall from her eye.The sight of Mom already crying seem to offset my tears that started falling too “I know Mom and I swear I'm not happy you have to be faced with this on the first day even without resting but I promise we can talk about this. A lot has gone on since I came here and I didn't tell you or Dad because I knew this was how you were going to behave”She shook her
“Hey, Leonard” I breezed out, going to meet him. Not knowing how to react or how Mom would react now.“Hey” he returned and pecked my forehead before he race my Mom “Yiu are welcome, Mrs. Johnson”Mom's head bounced as she came forth to meet him “It's nice to meet you too. Where have you been?” she asked stopping a few feet away from us.“I...i..” he looked at me as my cheeks heated up“Why don't we proceed to the dining Kom, there would be time for all the questions. Come on” I dragged him on sensing Mom's eyes follow us. I know by now she would surely suspect something is amidst. However, we have to let her relax before throwing the unavoidable in her face.“When did you come?” he asked her, seating down on the dining chair after pulling out nine for me. I looked at him my heart soaring at his presence. He had worn out in a few days..hua cheeks looked sullen and it di
“Concentrate! I told you the other day to leave everything that bothers you and think of only what you desire to come to pass!” Garret instructed fit the umpteenth time. I was distracted a lot and did t know why.“I'm trying” I squeaked as my leg hung on suspension which according to her would help me concentrate.“ I think we should take a break,” she said and I exhaled and borough my leg down picking up the water on the tray bedside us to drink. We have been on this since she came after I left Mom in her room.“She is here. I don't know if you would want to meet her yet. I haven't told her about you” I told Garret afterward after wiring my body with the body towel.“I want to meet her already. I've waited so long and now I can't wait but, I think I will have to contact my as tee to come what do you think?” she asked me, her face looking very joyful.“ I think....well, I think you should meet
In the dungeon (Third persons pov)In the far corner of the arena dwells the dungeon and in it was laying on the ground, the weakened body of Belinda. She was already praying to the moon goddess to take her life and save her from the constant torture of the guards who wouldn't stop feeding her with just enough wolfbane to weaken her wolf, whip her with a silver gadget, and make her suck them off under resistance.Her wolf Oris was already whining in pain from the regular torture. All she needed was to die and forget about everything since it seems her father had also forgotten her. He was the prime cause of it all. If he haven't forced her to come to the lack and try to win the heart of Leonard, she wouldn't be in this mess.At first, she had declined when it all started. But he insisted. Going ahead to make her imagine the enormous power she would feel if she eventually becomes the Luna. He knew she always wanted that and she had fallen for his lot.All for what
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”
