A loud thud woke me up from my slumber. I looked around to see what it was, it was Judas , she fell off the couch and hit the ground and she's still not awake, is she really deceased? she's such a heavy sleeper. I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't, I glanced at the clock and my eyes widened. It's past seven. How long have we been sleeping? George will soon be back and this house looks like a pigsty, I better clean up before I add to his grief. I picked up the cans of beer lying on the floor and searched around for the bag of chips, I couldn't find it anywhere. I picked up my scarf that was lying on the floor and used it to dust the crumbs from the couch, I re arranged the throw pillows that were lying everywhere and went to get the vacuum cleaner. I need to get Judas off the floor if I'm going to vacuum it, I put down the vacuum cleaner and reached for both her hands in an attempt to drag her from the living room to the corridor. Her fists were clenched, I opened them an
~Pedro~Alina, Lia and I sat in the courtyard, you know, next to the lake that ran quite peacefully through our backyard. Alina wasn’t as surprised as her sister that I wanted to play chess with her or even volunteered to see her at all. She seems to know the kind of person I am. A sick minded person who plays games. An actual real life game of chess and from the look on her face, I don’t think she minds that fact very much. In fact, I happen to think that she loves it very much and she’s happy that there’s finally someone like this in her life. There was freshly squeezed orange juice in front of everyone of us. “You and your sister should play the game first.” I want to see how she moves. She moved like a shark in the tournament she won but that’s now a while ago and I don’t think she plays the same way anymore. She must have changed her strategy. “That ain’t going to take much time.” One of the reasons I don’t like Alina again. She behaves li
~Zara~The sun is almost up and I'm dressed like a middle aged law professor on her first day of work. I forgot how terrible Judas was at giving directions. It's my first day of the job Judas got me and I'm on my way there right now and I couldn't feel any more lost. I'm on the phone with Judas right now, she forgot the name of the street where the art gallery is located so she's giving me directions via this phone call and I feel so frustrated, I've passed the same stupid house for the third time now, it's like she's intentionally taking me in circles. How am I supposed to show up late and covered in sweat on the first day of work. What if they fire me immediately. I asked her for the name of the gallery and ended the phone call. I was determined to find the gallery myself. I started to ask around but I was not making any progress. I was about to give up when I saw this guy, he looked like someone that would care about the location of an art gallery, he looked I don't know 'artist
~Pedro~I knew Dylan has arrived with probably a bunch of people when I heard his boisterous laughter from the pack grounds. Dylan is a loud man and he doesn’t go anywhere without making himself known. I went outside to greet him and welcome him as it is customary for us to do as I got outside to the pack ground, I see him already talking to Lia and I was glad to see that she was already charming the pants off him.“My friend.” He says in his warm friendly voice as soon as he saw me. I don’t know why but my heart did a little jump at that. Maybe because I know he genuinely sees me as a friend. Enough to leave his pack affairs to probably an incomplete Beta for about a week so he can spend time with me.“My friend.” I went closer to him and I was going for the universal bro hug thing before he pulled me in for a big bear hug. I had a larger frame than him so I dwarfed him but it felt a little nice. Not at all uncomfortable as I have imagined. It always feel so comfortable being around
~Zara~Well, anyways, I am here to announce to you all that my life has gone to shit. In a matter of seconds. My boss is the rude guy I met in the morning who won’t even help me with directions. I am in deep shit because Judas is such a piece of shit. Jeez.And now I am standing right in his office so he can give me my office ID which I will also be using as my pass and well, the painting files because I need to know everything about the paintings I will be taking care of.This is not a job that will allow me to paint, I guess but still I am just very happy that I get to keep some people babies and the paintings are all so meaningful and deep. And I get to look at those beautiful sights every day and I will meet more people and it will just be way better than getting married to our tv.I am so excited about this. The only downside is my grumpy boss who looks like he will rather be anywhere else than her. Judas didn’t think of telling me that my boss might be an asshole. I didn’t even
~Pedro~To be honest, I really don’t know shit about women thing but does a pedi really take that long and why that should be a good thing because well, that means Lia and Alicia are bonding and my plan was going well and Alina was already here and discussing with Dylan but then again, I am curious because I want to know what is happening with both of them so I decided to eavesdrop on all of them so I am now being reduced to that jerkwad that usually plaster his ears to the wall to hear shit and if that wasn’t embarrassing, I don’t know what is.I decided to listen in on Lia and Alicia first and they were talking about sex. Sex with us. It really wasn’t anything to worry about so I think it will be more profitable to listen in on Alina and Dylan because I want to know about everything that is going on in my pack but when I got to where they were supposedly discussing, they really weren’t doing much of talking, just really heavy make out and dry humping. I don’t know. Can’t they see th
~Zara~Two hours later, the phone in my office rang. I was so busy with the document at the time and laughing at the ridiculousness of it all. It was actually a good way to get over the boredom that was not catching up to me at my new job. I wanted something to do already.“Hello.” I spoke tentatively into the phone. I was excited already. What if it is one of our customers. I cleared my throat. I need to make a food first impression, our customers liking me will lead to grumpy face liking me too.“This is Mr. Pérez, come get your Id and the painting files. Need to see you within five minutes or you are done with this job. That will make me glad.” He hung up. He is really telling me that he wants me gone? That is just plain shitty.I stood up immediately and made a beeline straight to his office. I will not be giving this horrid man a chance and am excuse to fire me. No, I am way smarter than that. I will overcome any sort of shut that this man might want to put in my way to stop me f
~Pedro~I don’t think Alicia is ever going to get over this stuff because just now she had just another screaming match with Dylan. He is fed up. I mean between still seeing Alina secretly and trying to convince Alicia that he is not cheating on her with tomboyish chess prodigy will be hard, I imagine so once he left the suite we gave them and came outside and saw me. He heaved a sigh.“Man, I still haven’t thanked you for saving my ass yesterday. Thank you for breaking that shit up.” I nodded at him not expecting him to thank me that nicely but that was cool, I guess.“It’s fine, that is why we are friends.” The words left a funny and bitter after taste in my mouth. I know I am sort of desperate but this is just crossing a goddamn line. I don’t do mushy and I will never do it again. No matter what.“I think your Luna will provide Alicia with company. What do you say? We take a tour. That will be real nice. Won’t it?” I nodded. He is right. The weather is nice and it will be good if w
~Zara~"Tell us what it is Zara. It is very rude to keep people in suspense," Julian complained and every other person in the room supported her with a groan. "Calm down at least allow me finish breastfeeding," I retorted. Breastfeeding, I could not believe I actually said that word. George was in the kitchen preparing something for me to eat and no one saw it fit to help him out. Ever since I came home that day from the hospital, up till the date of my delivery, I caused him nothing but work. There was always something I wanted or did not want. I blamed the fact that he got me pregnant whenever he complained about me being too demanding. I would ask him to carry a supernatural child in his belly for a couple of months and see how it is. "Name the child already. We don't even know it's gender," someone else grumbled from the crowd and I laughed. Almost everyone I knew and cared about was around after they heard I had delivered the baby and had already gotten home. I felt honored
~PEDRO~"I do not want to go," I argued strictly with Lia but she seemed to have had her mind made up. "We have to go. She is legit," she insisted. I sat still, not moving from my position. She was trying to persuade me to follow her to a witch down town who could tell our future. I saw it as a waste of time and money, I had other pack duties to face. "Lia, I have things to do other than listening to a witch. I have not much good lucks when it comes to having encounters with witches remember," I defended, not even wanting to go but also not wanting to give her a direct no for an answer. "Then I'll ask for the witch to come over. It will be the best. She was the one who predicted that I would be Luna one day and here I am. All I had to do was work well for it," Lia explained further earning a groan from me. "Will that not cost us more than expected?" I peered and she nodded her head. "Yes, but you are alpha remember. Money has never been an issue for you," she chimed and I sighed
~Zara~"What?!" I was breathless for the next couple of seconds and my jaw was down and my eyes were wide open. "Congratulations ma'am," the director walked right in, holding a file in his hands and giving it to George. I was carrying a baby in my belly. The news caught me off guard, I knew how I was supposed to react to it and I wanted to do so but I was way too stunned to even make a statement. My hands crawled around my belly as I tried to listen to an extra heart beat but then I remembered my werewolf aid was no longer available. "I'm pregnant," I murmured quietly. "Yes," George seemed to be very overjoyed by the news and he continued to hug me every once in a while to tell and show me how happy he was. "I'm carrying a child inside of me," I defined the term pregnant again to myself and this time, tears clouded my eyes and I made no effort to hold them in. I was having mixed emotions. Somewhere in me I was overly joyed to know that George and I were going to be parents soo
~Pedro~Proud was an understatement, compared to how I felt at the moment. Nothin could wipe the smile off my face. I was the new new alpha or alpha's. A dream come true, finally. The wives of the former alphas has already reached their family few minutes ago. I got news from each and everyone one of them. Yes having them kidnaped and using their vulnerability against them made me look like the bad person here but desperate times called for desperate measure. I did what I had to do and it was worth it.I am my father's son and his method of ruling runs through my veins. Everyone continued to congratulate me and I never stopped any of them, not even even once. It all helped to swell my head, I hoped that the news spread fast and reach all comers of the earth. I won the fight and I barely even made any moves. Deep down I hoped I sparred with at last one of the alpha's. I needed some blood to be shredded but they all backdown easily like cowards. It was pathetic how attached stro
~Zara~There was absolutely nothing to do, it was a weekend and I had no work. But for some reason, George had to leave me again to attend to somethings at the council. I sometimes feel a lot jealous when I realize how much effort and time he puts into his work. But then I remember how he treats me like a queen that he says I am. He's the sweetest thing and I could not find myself getting mad at him for long. Picking up my television remote, I tuned the station once again. I hoped I found the right program to watch fast because my mind was going crazy from the boredom and it was eating me up fast from the inside. The whole thing I was doing was worthless. My belly made a low growl and I remembered I had not eaten since morning. It also meant I had to find what to cook, George had already spoiled me with making me foods now I was too lazy to take care of myself. I turned my head to the direction of the kitchen, contemplating whether or not to get up and get some food. I looked at th
~Pedro~We were waiting patiently for both Alan and Denver to just make the damn call so we can get this over with. I really don’t have the time for this.Their Lunas were sitting in a dark room but they weren’t tied up or anything. We let them be free. I don’t have time to torture people or fight a goddamn war. The werewolf society might have rules about this sort of thing but this is the time to change their goddamn rule and give us all a chance to live even after competing.Fine, I am not saying this because I am a good person. I am just saying this because I want to take the cowardly way out and I don’t want to have to kill anyone because I wouldn’t want to have any casualties on my neck or anything like that so it’s only wise that I do it this way. Kidnapping both their Lunas and getting them to withdraw from the competition. They aren’t really withdrawing per day just submitting to me.It wouldn’t be really hard with Denver because he is obsessed with his Luna. A tiny looking wo
~Pedro~After the counter attack that we have the Ray pack, they have been pretty silent for a while and I will like to think of it as a calm before the storm. Lia is so busy training hard because she felt like I beat her too easily at the sparring we both had but all explanations that I had to give that it was because I had been learning how to fight since I was born and well, I am an alpha too so I will be more stronger fall on deaf ears.She told me that she felt weak but I know that’s all a lie. This is happening to her all because she is feeling so goddamn nervous about the war and I have told times without number that I have got this under control. But for now, while everyone slaves away training and shit, I am sitted here in my chambers with my tablet and I am watching this series on Netflix about werewolves. This is my way of distressing. You wouldn’t understand until you are the leader of a bunch of people who think they are going to die because there’s war looming on the hor
~Zara~This is really fun. You know, having a boss who was once rude and grumpy to you and now even though he is still rude and grumpy, he is not so bad anymore because y’all had an encounter and now he respects you. I wouldn’t say respect per say—it is a little begrudging but now he behaves better and not only to me but the other co workers. Park was excited as hell.He and Pérez had a really epic fallout the last time that Pérez thought he did something wrong again and he thought about quitting. I couldn’t exactly tell him not to do what he wants to do. He is an adult and he can make his own decisions but also I think I will really miss seeing his face at work and his false flirtiness.The relationship between Pérez and the rest of the co workers shifted dramatically last month when he had some breathing attack. I was about to tell him that some teachers were here to see him because they want the students to come here for their art class but instead I met Pérez laying on the floor,
~Pedro~We werewolves must be psychopaths because ever since I brought the news back home to my pack that we are at war with the Ray pack that is Denver pack and starlight pack which is Alan’s pack, they have been really excited. Dylan was making good on his promises, he supplied me with over two thousand soldiers.We were still good friends and the pack was confident that victory was ours in this war. Lia, not so much. She was completely pessimistic and got angry at me for taking such a huge step without telling her but I don’t really care about what she thinks. Before my father died, this was what he wanted for me and no matter how much I hated the man, it was a good thing to want for himself and his son but it is not a monarchy and even if my dad has the title, I will still have to fight for my own place at the table.It’s good though not having everything handed over to me on a platter of gold. That will be bad for me and my reign as alpha in the light pack.Lia walked into my cha
